xlflow inspect-gui

Scan source for automation-hostile GUI boundaries without opening Excel.

Usage

bash

xlflow inspect-gui

Option / argument	Description	Default
`--json`	Return detected boundaries and source locations.	false

bash

xlflow inspect-gui
xlflow inspect-gui --json

TIP

Run inspect-gui before headless automation to find likely MsgBox, InputBox, dialog, or UserForm boundaries.

WARNING

This is static analysis. It is intentionally conservative and does not prove a macro is fully headless-safe.

Successful --json output uses the xlflow envelope plus command-specific fields.
