+Dry-Run: Erzeuge Edges aus einem Vault **ohne** Qdrant-Upsert.
+- Liest Markdown mit YAML-Frontmatter
+- Chunking: einfacher Absatz-Chunker (Index + text)
+- Kanten: nutzt app.core.edges.build_edges_for_note()
+- Ausgabe: JSON pro Note mit Edge-Counts und 3 Beispiel-Payloads
+
+Aufruf:
+    python3 -m scripts.edges_dryrun --vault ./vault
+
+Optional:
+    --include-note-scope-refs   # auch Frontmatter-Links (links[].target_id) als Note-Scope-Referenzen
+
+Voraussetzungen:
+    - app/core/parser.py (read_markdown, normalize_frontmatter)
+    - app/core/edges.py   (dieses Modul forwardet zur v2-Implementierung)
