Feel like if you're doing something like this you should just basically maximalize your definition. The fun here is seeing all the nodes, obviously!

Maybe then you get into arguments about whether the dependencies were "required", but there it's more or less resolvable by relying on what "actually" happened rather than the minimal tree (which is its own exercise)

You will end up writing a technology focused complete history of the world. That tapestry would be absolutely fascinating to be able to navigate and it would also be always out of date.
