+## Defect
+
+Method interference graph BFS uses `visited = Method[]` (Array) with `method3 in visited`
+for cycle prevention.  `in` on a Julia Vector/Array is O(V) linear scan:
+
+```julia
+visited = Method[]                  # Array — O(V) membership
+push!(visited, method2)
+
+workqueue = Method[method2]
+while !isempty(workqueue)
+    current = pop!(workqueue)
+    for k = 1:length(interferences)
+        method3 = interferences[k]::Method
+        method3 in visited && continue   # O(V) per check — CWE-407
+        push!(visited, method3)
+        push!(workqueue, method3)
+    end
+end
+```
+
+With V methods reachable in the interference graph, total membership checks: O(V²).
+Called during type inference for every ambiguous method pair resolution.
+
+## Fix
+
+```julia
+visited = Set{Method}()            # O(1) membership
+push!(visited, method2)
+
+workqueue = Method[method2]
+while !isempty(workqueue)
+    current = pop!(workqueue)
+    for k = 1:length(interferences)
+        method3 = interferences[k]::Method
+        method3 in visited && continue   # O(1) hash lookup
+        push!(visited, method3)
+        push!(workqueue, method3)
+    end
+end
+```
+
+Speedup: O(V²) → O(V) — ~250× at V=500 (62,500 → 500 checks).
