 ## Status
 
 - **Current phase:** 2 — Instance graph & cross-file data flow
-- **Next step:** 2.1 — Instance tree construction
-- **Done:** 0.1–0.4, 1.1–1.6
+- **Next step:** 2.2 — Prop-flow: data attribution per instance
+- **Done:** 0.1–0.4, 1.1–1.6, 2.1
 - **Gates passed:** Gate 0 (CI + red-path, PRs #5/#6) · Gate 1 (precision 1.000 ≥ 0.90, recall 0.895 ≥ 0.80 across C2/C3/C5/A2/A7/A8/D4, zero forbidden hits)

-### [ ] 2.1 Instance tree construction

 **Failure modes:** C1 (graph half), A5
 **Build:** cross-file pass in `parser-react`:
 - Resolve every JSX tag to its component definition through imports (including `export { X as Y }`, barrel files, default exports).
