+
+## Defect
+
+`get_internal_static_libraries_recurse` uses `result` (an `OrderedSet`) as a
+visited guard for `link_targets` but **omits the guard for `link_whole_targets`**.
+The `link_whole_targets` branch recurses unconditionally:
+
+```python
+# mesonbuild/build.py:1625
+def get_internal_static_libraries_recurse(self, result: OrderedSet[StaticTargetTypes]) -> None:
+    for t in self.link_targets:
+        if t.is_internal() and t not in result:   # ← guard present
+            result.add(t)
+            t.get_internal_static_libraries_recurse(result)
+    for t in self.link_whole_targets:
+        if t.is_internal():
+            t.get_internal_static_libraries_recurse(result)   # ← NO guard!
+```
+
+On a diamond `link_whole` graph — `A link_whole B, C; B link_whole D; C link_whole D;
+D link_whole E` — the recursion visits `D` twice and `E` twice.  At depth D the
+total node visits is **O(2^D)**.
+
+**Diamond trace:**
+
+```
+A.recurse(result={}):
+  B.recurse(result={}):          # link_whole B
+    D.recurse(result={}):        #   link_whole D
+      E.recurse(result={}): …    #     → result = {E}
+    → result = {E}
+  C.recurse(result={E}):         # link_whole C
+    D.recurse(result={E}):       #   link_whole D — AGAIN (no guard!)
+      E.recurse(result={E}):     #     → visits E again, returns (already in result… but
+                                 #       link_whole branch doesn't check!)
+```
+
+In practice `link_whole` chains in C++ projects are typically shallow (1–3
+levels), giving 2–8 redundant traversals.  Generated build systems
+(particularly those producing many static stub libraries) can reach D=5–7
+(32–128 redundant traversals per target).
+
+## Fix
+
+Add the same guard used for `link_targets` to the `link_whole_targets` branch:
+
+```python
+def get_internal_static_libraries_recurse(self, result: OrderedSet[StaticTargetTypes]) -> None:
+    for t in self.link_targets:
+        if t.is_internal() and t not in result:
+            result.add(t)
+            t.get_internal_static_libraries_recurse(result)
+    for t in self.link_whole_targets:
+        if t.is_internal() and t not in result:   # CWE-407 fix: add guard
+            result.add(t)
+            t.get_internal_static_libraries_recurse(result)
+```
+
+Complexity: **O(2^D) → O(N)** where N = total number of internal static
+libraries in the link closure.
+
+Speedup at D=7: ~128x (128 visits → 1 visit per shared node).

+## Diamond Recursion Scan — Deeper Scan Notes
+
+**Scan date:** 2026-03-29
+**Pattern:** Recursive cycle/dependency check without visited set (CWE-407 diamond recursion, O(2^D))
+
+### Summary
+
+**meson-0002 FOUND** in `get_internal_static_libraries_recurse` (link_whole_targets branch missing visited guard) — see `meson-0002-link-whole-diamond-recursion.md`.
+
+**meson-0001 (existing)** covers `extra_files` dedup O(N²) in `process_link_depends`.
+
+### Other functions checked — CLEAN
+
+- `get_dependencies_recurse` (line 1500): has explicit `visited` set parameter — CLEAN.
+- `get_dependencies` (line 1485): creates `visited` set and passes it — CLEAN.
+- `get_internal_static_libraries` (line 1620): calls `get_internal_static_libraries_recurse` — DEFECTIVE (meson-0002).
+- `build.py` dependency resolution: uses `OrderedSet` throughout for dedup — CLEAN beyond meson-0002.
