Show the GitLab Knowledge Graph ontology. (EXPERIMENTAL)

## Synopsis

Calls `GET /api/v4/orbit/schema` and prints the response as
pretty-printed JSON. The response carries the authoritative graph
ontology, including domains, nodes, and edges. It is the source
of truth when writing queries.

Positional arguments are passed through as the `expand` query
parameter (comma-joined). Listed nodes are returned with their full
properties, style, and incoming and outgoing edge lists. Unlisted nodes
remain summary-only in the same response.

This feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use.
It might be unstable or removed at any time.
