Stores JVM variable snapshots into Neo4j graph database using a two-layer model with hashed+metadata nodes and Git-style content-addressing; implements graph-shape packers to collapse sparse arrays and common patterns, then computes per-node hashes and ID-hashes to deduplicate subgraphs. Prototype is an IntelliJ plugin that yields up to 50× node reduction, 20× fewer edges, and >10× faster insertion versus naive mapping, but full-line saving via JDI slows execution ~30–40×; future work targets bytecode instrumentation.
