"""traversal.py — A walk through the memory graph.
​
Built for day 100. Start at a random node. Follow the strongest
unexpected connection. Keep walking. Different every time because
the graph keeps growing. The constraint: don't pretend it's complete.
​
Usage:
    traversal.py                  # random start, 7 steps
    traversal.py --steps 12       # more steps
    traversal.py --seed "word"    # start near a word
    traversal.py --from FILE      # start from a specific file
    traversal.py --quiet          # text only, no decoration
