2 follow-up flagships: symfony-0001 + pyright-0001 (Wave 17 backlog cleared)

Both were flagged in Wave 17 survey as borderline real defects deferred
for follow-up because the fix needed careful design beyond a single-line
set hoist. Both shipped now with full bench + ticket + intel.

UNDF-1310 symfony-0001 (HIGH) - PropertyAccessor::writeCollection.
  Doctrine entity collection diff: in_array($item, $collection, true)
  per item in $previousValue, then in_array($item, $previousValue, true)
  per item in $collection. O(P*C). Fix: dual lookup
  (SplObjectStorage for objects + serialize-keyed array for scalars,
  in_array fallback for resources). Bench: 5.2x at P=C=100,
  88x at P=C=2000.

UNDF-1311 pyright-0001 (HIGH) - CallHierarchyProvider outgoing/incoming
  call dedup. _outgoingCalls.find / _incomingCalls.find with composite
  key (uri, range) walks the list per call expression. O(C^2). Fix:
  parallel Map<string, entry> keyed by composite serialized form
  (uri|start.line|start.char|end.line|end.char). Bench: 2.7x at C=100,
  22x at C=2000.

Total session flagships: 11 (was 9) — 7 CWE-407 + 3 MOAD-0003 + 1 MOAD-0004.
Wave 17 borderline backlog now empty.

# pyright-0001: CallHierarchyProvider — O(C²) outgoing/incoming dedup
**Target:** microsoft/pyright
**Severity:** HIGH
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
**MOAD:** MOAD-0001 (A Sedimentary Defect)
**File:** `packages/pyright-internal/src/languageService/callHierarchyProvider.ts:394-396, 608-610`
**Language:** TypeScript
**Status:** open
## Description
`CallHierarchyProvider` has TWO parallel patterns that linear-scan the recorded-calls list to dedup by composite key `(uri, range)`:
```ts
// _outgoingCalls: line 394-396
let outgoingCall = this._outgoingCalls.find(
(outgoing) => outgoing.to.uri === callDest.uri &&
rangesAreEqual(outgoing.to.range, callDest.range)
);
// _incomingCalls: line 608-610 (same shape, different visitor class)
let incomingCall = this._incomingCalls.find(
(incoming) => incoming.from.uri === callSource.uri &&
rangesAreEqual(incoming.from.range, callSource.range)
);
```
Per discovered call expression, `Array.find` walks the list from index 0. For C call expressions in a function, total cost is **O(C²)**.
Realistic IDE scale: a function with 50 distinct outgoing calls = 2,500 ops (invisible). A glue function with 500-2000 call sites (utility/dispatcher/middleware patterns common in large Python codebases — ORM dispatch, RPC routers, event handlers) = 250k-4M ops per "show outgoing calls" IDE request.
## Severity Note
IDE responsiveness defect. Below the typical CWE-407 wall-clock bar at small C, but visible UI lag at C ≥ 500 (40ms+) and dominant at C ≥ 2000 (50ms+ per request, repeated for every IDE re-evaluation). Affects pyright's call-hierarchy / "show callers" / "show callees" features in VS Code Pylance.
## Root Cause
```ts
// callHierarchyProvider.ts:287
private _outgoingCalls: CallHierarchyOutgoingCall[] = [];
// line 394-396 — linear scan per call expression
let outgoingCall = this._outgoingCalls.find(
(outgoing) => outgoing.to.uri === callDest.uri && rangesAreEqual(outgoing.to.range, callDest.range)
);
```
`Array.find` is O(N); per-call cost grows with the number of already-recorded calls. Across C iterations: O(C²).
## Fix
Maintain a parallel `Map<string, entry>` keyed by composite `(uri | start.line | start.character | end.line | end.character)`. Lookup via `map.get(key)` is O(1). The list still preserves discovery order and is what `getOutgoingCalls()` / `getIncomingCalls()` returns — no API change.
```ts
private _outgoingCalls: CallHierarchyOutgoingCall[] = [];
private _outgoingCallsByKey: Map<string, CallHierarchyOutgoingCall> = new Map();
private static _callKey(uri: string, range: Range): string {
return `${uri}|${range.start.line}|${range.start.character}|`
+ `${range.end.line}|${range.end.character}`;
}
// per-call dedup:
const dedupKey = CallFinder._callKey(callDest.uri, callDest.range);
let outgoingCall = this._outgoingCallsByKey.get(dedupKey);
if (!outgoingCall) {
outgoingCall = { to: callDest, fromRanges: [] };
this._outgoingCalls.push(outgoingCall);
this._outgoingCallsByKey.set(dedupKey, outgoingCall);
}
```
Same shape applies to `_incomingCalls` in `CallVisitor` (line 608-610).

Documented in Wave 17 survey as a **borderline real defect** — flagged because the fix is mechanical but needs composite-key serialization design (Range is a struct, not directly map-key-able). This patch is the composite-key-Map fix Wave 17 deferred for follow-up.

# symfony-0001: PropertyAccessor::writeCollection — O(P×C) collection diff
**Target:** symfony/symfony
**Severity:** HIGH
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
**MOAD:** MOAD-0001 (A Sedimentary Defect)
**File:** `src/Symfony/Component/PropertyAccess/PropertyAccessor.php:580-595`
**Language:** PHP
**Status:** open
## Description
`PropertyAccessor::writeCollection()` is the central path for Symfony's collection-typed property updates (Doctrine entity OneToMany / ManyToMany associations, Form CollectionType binding, Serializer denormalization). The current implementation does:
```php
foreach ($previousValue as $key => $item) {
if (!\in_array($item, $collection, true)) { // O(C) per item
unset($previousValue[$key]);
$zval[self::VALUE]->$removeMethodName($item);
}
}
foreach ($collection as $item) {
if (!$previousValue || !\in_array($item, $previousValue, true)) { // O(P) per item
$zval[self::VALUE]->$addMethodName($item);
}
}
```
`in_array(..., true)` (strict mode) is O(N) per call. Per write: **O(P × C)** where P = previous-collection size, C = new-collection size. For a Symfony Doctrine entity with a deep OneToMany association of 500 items being updated to 500 different items, the cost is 250,000 strict-equality comparisons per write.
## Severity Note
Hot path on every form submission with a CollectionType field, every PropertyAccessor write to a collection-valued entity property, every Serializer denormalization that hits a collection getter/setter pair. Bench (`defects/symfony/bench/`) shows **5×88× speedup** across realistic scales (P=C=100 → 2000).
Real-world scale: ORM-heavy Symfony apps with deep entity collections (CRM systems, e-commerce SKU/variant trees, media-library taggings, RBAC permission assignments) routinely hit P=C in the hundreds. Frameworks like API Platform that lean on PropertyAccessor for hydration are exposed by extension.
## Root Cause
```php
// PropertyAccessor.php:578-595
foreach ($previousValue as $key => $item) {
if (!\in_array($item, $collection, true)) { // O(C) per call
// remove
}
}
foreach ($collection as $item) {
if (!$previousValue || !\in_array($item, $previousValue, true)) { // O(P)
// add
}
}
```
`in_array(strict=true)` walks the array linearly. Across P+C iterations: O(P × C).
## Fix
Build dual-lookup once before each diff pass:
- **Objects**`SplObjectStorage` (O(1) identity)
- **Scalars / arrays** → assoc array indexed by `serialize($item)` (O(1) hashed lookup; `serialize()` canonicalizes equals)
- **Resources** (rare; can't hash) → fall back to `in_array`
Per-write cost drops from O(P × C) to O(P + C).
```php
[$collObj, $collScalar, $collFallback] = self::buildLookup($collection);
foreach ($previousValue as $key => $item) {
if (!self::lookupContains($collObj, $collScalar, $collFallback, $item, $collection)) {
// remove
}
}
[$prevObj, $prevScalar, $prevFallback] = self::buildLookup($previousValue);
foreach ($collection as $item) {
if (!self::lookupContains($prevObj, $prevScalar, $prevFallback, $item, $previousValue)) {
// add
}
}
```
Plus two private static helpers (`buildLookup`, `lookupContains`) that handle the type-aware dispatch.

## Discovery context
Documented in Wave 17 survey as a **borderline real defect** — flagged because the fix is mechanical but needs careful type-aware dispatch (PHP `in_array(strict=true)` semantics differ for objects vs scalars). Single-line set hoist isn't sufficient. This patch is the type-aware fix Wave 17 deferred.
