insideR: Make R Package Calls Transparent, Replayable, and Editable

insideR opens up R packages at two levels:

• One call: explain_call() shows which function actually runs behind a call (following S3 dispatch), what it calls internally, and how replayable it is; unpack_call() turns the call into a self-contained replay.R script with documented extracted functions, captured inputs, and built-in verification against the original result — plus a static security scan of the extracted code.

• A whole package: build_graph() indexes a package or source directory into a queryable code graph; explore it with graph_search(), graph_node(), graph_callers(), and graph_callees().

The goal is to reduce the fear that package logic is a black box, without destroying package discipline: users get visibility and a safe place to experiment, maintainers keep a clean API.
