Find extras that can never unlock because they wait on each other
The true ending needs the secret scene, and the secret scene needs the true ending, so neither ever appears. This entry finds circles and missing items in unlock lists, prints the circle, and tells how many steps away each reward really is.
Why this works
Every unlock is a promise that someone can reach it. If two things each wait for the other, neither can ever start, and anything behind them is lost too. Following the chain of requirements from the beginning shows who is stuck and why.
When not to use it
Needless in a small game with a handful of extras that you can test by hand. It also does not fit conditions like earn any one of these, which are a different shape. Split those into one item for each way, or check them by playing.
