`:xray [namespace|all]` opens a live ownership graph, replacing the old stub and closing gap #3 from the k9s parity audit (4.7). Rather than a per-kind tree, it's a single namespace-rooted forest of the workload topology: ns/<name> ├─ deploy → rs → pod → container ├─ sts / ds → pod → container ├─ cronjob → job → pod ├─ job / bare rs → pod └─ standalone pods (no controller) `:xray` defaults to the current namespace; `:xray all` spans the cluster grouped by namespace. Rendering is a real tree, not indented text: box-drawing connectors (├──/└──/│), ▾/▸ expand markers, severity-colored per-node status, and a selectable cursor. Navigate j/k (+ g/G); →/← expand/collapse the node under the cursor, Enter toggles, esc closes. Collapse state is keyed by stable node id so it survives the per-frame rebuild. The graph rebuilds from store state every frame so it tracks the cluster live; opening it adds the workload kinds it draws to the active watch plan so it fills in within a moment. Large graphs truncate with `… N more` nodes (no silent caps). Cross-cutting relations (Service/PVC/ConfigMap/Node — non-ownership, multi-parent edges that don't fit a tree) are intentionally left to the Enter drill-down and describe views. Reuses the existing owner-chain helpers (the log fan-in's deployment/replicaset/pod key lookups). Tests: namespace-rooted tree structure + connectors + expand marker; collapse hides a subtree; arrow-key directed collapse/expand. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
:xray [namespace|all]opens a live ownership graph (closes gap #3 of the k9s parity audit). Instead of a per-kind tree, it's a single namespace-rooted forest of the workload topology::xray= current namespace;:xray all= whole cluster grouped by namespace. Covers deploy→rs→pod, sts/ds→pod, cronjob→job→pod, bare job/rs→pod, standalone pods, all → containers.Rendering

Rebuilds from store state every frame; opening it adds the workload kinds to the active watch plan so it populates within a moment and tracks the cluster. Large graphs truncate with
… N more(no silent caps).Cross-cutting relations (Service/PVC/ConfigMap/Node — non-ownership, multi-parent edges that can't be drawn in a tree) are intentionally left to the Enter drill-down and describe views. The next feature is an operator triage board (the daily-driver "what needs attention" view), which is where the fleet-health value lives.
