explain

Explain Value

Returns a dictionary describing the structure and content of a value. Node results from read_node(...) are wrapped with node metadata and expose the explained payload under contents. Computed pipeline nodes (e.g. p.node) also expose foreign_meta with shape facts from the build-time meta sidecar (dimensions for frames and arrays, n_obs/n_features/formula/order/metrics for models), or NA when absent. Explaining a pipeline lists per-node dependencies (direct inputs) and children (direct dependents) plus the transitive ancestors and descendants closures (nearest-first, de-duplicated).

Parameters

Returns

A structured description of the value.
