Trace a connection

The shortest documented path between two artists. Every hop names the release it came from and the source that documented it.

Searches within 6 hops. A path longer than 6 hops is not a connection anybody reads, so 6 is the ceiling.

Not in the collaboration graph

We hold no graph node for (no second artist given) in dataset merged-20260802.

Roughly 37.5% of the roster resolves to no node at all, so this is a normal answer rather than a fault. Search for the exact name as the source filed it.
