I was just thinking of something like a flowchart for the build phases.

For example, python-build-system's phases as a flowchart in mermaidjs:

%% python-build-system phases
flowchart TB
    unpack --> 
    ensure-no-mtimes-pre-1980 -->
    enable-bytecode-determinism --> 
    ensure-no-cythonized-files --> 
    build --> 
    install -->
    add-install-to-pythonpath --> 
    add-install-to-path -->
    wrap --> 
    check -->
    sanity-check --> 
    rename-pth-file -->
    strip

Here's the rendered mermaid flowchart:

The above diagram can easily be rewritten in plantuml and plantuml supports ascii diagrams also but ymmv:

Where you thinking of capturing different information about the phases?
