+## Defect
+
+`DependencyGraph.recursiveSizeDepth(GraphNode<T> node, int safetyCounter)` recursively
+computes the total number of pending (not yet evaluated) nodes reachable from a starting
+node. It uses `isAlreadyEvaluated(node)` as an early-exit guard, which calls
+`evaluatedNodes.contains(node)` — an **O(N) linear scan** on an `ArrayList<GraphNode<T>>`.
+
+On a diamond-shaped dependency graph (node A depends on B and C; both B and C depend on D),
+D is NOT in `evaluatedNodes` during the estimation phase, so the guard does not fire for D.
+The traversal visits D once via B and once via C — **2^D visits** at depth D.
+
+```java
+// liquibase-standard/src/main/java/liquibase/util/DependencyUtil.java:132-154 (DEFECT)
+private final List<GraphNode<T>> evaluatedNodes = new ArrayList<>();   // O(N) contains()
+
+private int recursiveSizeDepth(GraphNode<T> node, int safetyCounter) {
+    if (safetyCounter > 1000) { return -1; }
+    if (isAlreadyEvaluated(node)) {              // O(N) scan — misses diamond nodes
+        return 0;
+    } else if (node.getGoingOutNodes() == null || node.getGoingOutNodes().isEmpty()) {
+        return 1;
+    }
+    int sum = 0;
+    safetyCounter++;
+    for (GraphNode<T> n : node.getGoingOutNodes()) {
+        int depth = recursiveSizeDepth(n, safetyCounter);   // recurse — no current-path guard
+        if (depth < 0) return -1;
+        sum += depth;
+    }
+    return node.getGoingOutNodes().size() + sum;
+}
+
+private boolean isAlreadyEvaluated(GraphNode<T> node) {
+    return evaluatedNodes.contains(node);          // O(N) linear scan
+}
+```
+
+Two distinct defects:
+
+1. **Diamond re-traversal:** `recursiveSizeDepth` has no guard for nodes currently being
+   traversed in the recursion stack. On a diamond graph it visits shared nodes 2^D times.
+   Also causes incorrect depth estimates (double-counts shared nodes).
+
+2. **O(N) evaluatedNodes scan:** `evaluatedNodes` is an `ArrayList`. Each call to
+   `isAlreadyEvaluated` or `areAlreadyEvaluated` is an O(N) scan.
+   With E edges in the graph, total cost: O(E × N).
+
+## Fix
+
+Replace `evaluatedNodes: List<GraphNode<T>>` with a `Set<GraphNode<T>>` for O(1) membership,
+and add a `Set<GraphNode<T>> currentPath` parameter to `recursiveSizeDepth` to guard against
+diamond re-traversal:
+
+```java
+// AFTER — O(N+E) total
+private final Set<GraphNode<T>> evaluatedNodes = new LinkedHashSet<>();  // O(1) contains()
+
+private int recursiveSizeDepth(GraphNode<T> node, int safetyCounter,
+                                Set<GraphNode<T>> currentPath) {
+    if (safetyCounter > 1000) { return -1; }
+    if (evaluatedNodes.contains(node)) { return 0; }    // O(1)
+    if (!currentPath.add(node)) { return 0; }           // diamond guard: O(1), prevents 2^D
+    try {
+        if (node.getGoingOutNodes() == null || node.getGoingOutNodes().isEmpty()) {
+            return 1;
+        }
+        int sum = 0;
+        for (GraphNode<T> n : node.getGoingOutNodes()) {
+            int depth = recursiveSizeDepth(n, safetyCounter + 1, currentPath);
+            if (depth < 0) return -1;
+            sum += depth;
+        }
+        return node.getGoingOutNodes().size() + sum;
+    } finally {
+        currentPath.remove(node);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Also change `areAlreadyEvaluated` to use the Set:
+```java
+private boolean areAlreadyEvaluated(List<GraphNode<T>> nodes) {
+    return evaluatedNodes.containsAll(nodes);  // O(K) with Set backing, vs O(K×N) with List
+}
+```
