Find quests that wait for something which can never happen

Quest C needs B, B needs one of A or D, and D needs C, so a whole corner of your quest log quietly never opens. Here is the way to find every quest that cannot unlock, with the reason, and not only the ones in a plain loop.

Why this works

Unlocking spreads outward from the quests that need nothing: a quest opens only when each of its requirements has something already open behind it. So whatever never gets reached cannot ever open, and "one of these" is handled correctly where a plain ordering would cry cycle.

When not to use it

It does not help when a quest closes another one or when something outside the quest list unlocks it, such as a shop or a story scene. There you need a check that knows those rules, or the verdict will be too hopeful.
