+Rules:
+- Return ONLY 5-8 symbols that are DIRECTLY in the execution path
+- Start from the user-facing entry point (page, button handler, route)
+- Follow the call chain: what calls what, in order
+- Do NOT include tangentially related symbols, utilities, or unrelated features
+- Every symbol should call or be called by the next one in the flow
 
-- "entry" is THE single starting point the user would trigger (e.g., a page component, route handler, button click handler)
-- "flow" is the symbols in rough execution order, starting from the entry point (max 8-10 symbols)
-- Include the entry point in the flow array too
