Hi there
We've made a PR to add new :constant_access TracePoint event. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4683
Burke Libbey made some first steps on this idea a few years ago #13133 and we improved his patch based on the comment by ko1.

As mentioned in the issue above, this patch allows us to enable boundaries between packages/components. 
Burke's [proof-of-concept gem](https://github.com/burke/packages) might help you understand more concrete usage of this patch.

The proof-of-concept gem works like the below and this will help us manage large codebases with lots of dependencies.

```ruby
package 'product'
class Book < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :user
end

package 'user'
class User < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :books
end

user = User.first
user.books
# => VisibilityError (can't access Book from User)
```
