# mercurial-0001 — CWE-407 O(N²) DAG edge lookup in graphmod
**Target:** Mercurial (hg) v7.2.1
**File:** `mercurial/graphmod.py`
**Severity:** HIGH
**MOAD:** 0001 (Sedimentary Defect)
**Benchmark:** N-ratio=2.02x at N-doubling, k-ratio=4.22x at k-5x (O(k) confirmed)
## Defect
`colored()` and `asciiedges()` track active DAG columns in a list (`seen`/`next`).
Two O(N) operations occur inside an O(N) loop per commit:
```python
# colored() — inner loop, O(seen) iterations
for ecol, eid in enumerate(seen): # O(k) outer
if eid in next: # O(k) list scan
edges.append((ecol, next.index(eid), ...)) # O(k) list.index
elif eid == cur:
edges.append((ecol, next.index(p), ...)) # O(k) list.index
# asciiedges()
nodeidx = seen.index(rev) # O(k) per call
edges = [(nodeidx, nextseen.index(p)) for p in knownparents] # O(k) each
```
Total per-commit cost: O(k²) where k = active branch count.
Total graph render: O(N × k²) vs O(N × k) with our fix.
At k=50 active branches: 25x slowdown vs optimal. Large enterprise repos
with many long-lived feature branches hit this on every `hg log -G` invocation.
## Fix
Maintain companion dicts `seen_pos` / `next_pos` / `nextseen_pos` mapping
`node → column_index`. Built once per commit from the list (O(k)), then
used for O(1) membership tests and index lookups throughout the inner loop.
Also add `seen_pos` field to `asciistate` and keep it in sync through
`_drawendinglines()` removals.
## MOAD 0002-0005 Scan Results
- **0002 (Intertangle):** Extension system uses module-level globals — pre-existing
architectural choice, not an acute defect. No patch.
- **0003 (Leaked Context):** `remotefilelog/contentstore.py` uses `threading.local()`
intentionally for CLI thread-safety. Documented pattern. No patch.
- **0004 (Logged Secret):** `url.py` properly redacts passwords as `***`. CLEAN.
- **0005 (Thundering Herd):** Unprotected dict caches in `util.py`/`manifest.py`
exist but GIL makes them benign for single-threaded CLI use. CLEAN.
## Files
- `patch/mercurial-0001.patch` — hg diff against v7.2.1
- `test/test_mercurial_0001.py` — 5 correctness tests + benchmark, all PASS
