# SUMMARY: 4 list membership tests per plugin iteration → 4 O(1) set lookups.
# Total complexity: O((P+R) × S) → O(P+R) per route compilation.
# Cache busting on install(): O(N³) startup with N plugins → O(N²).
#
# NOTE: All membership patterns are hashability-safe:
# True is hashable; plugin names are strings; plugin objects are hashable
# by identity; type() is always hashable. Set conversion is drop-in safe.

### 13.9 Bottle — bottle-0001; Flask — CLEAN
**Bottle (bottle-0001) — Route.all_plugins() skiplist (MEDIUM)**
Bottle is a single-file Python web framework. One CWE-407 defect in the plugin system:
`bottle.py:512-521``Route.all_plugins()` iterates all app + route plugins and performs
four separate membership tests against `self.skiplist` per plugin:
`True in self.skiplist` (O(S) sentinel check), `name in self.skiplist` (O(S)),
`p in self.skiplist` (O(S)), `type(p) in self.skiplist` (O(S)).
`self.skiplist` is a plain Python `list`. `all_plugins()` is called on every `install()` /
`uninstall()` operation (cache reset). With N plugins and S-entry skiplists:
O(N × S) per reset, O(N²×S) total startup. For N proportional to S: O(N³).
Fix: `self.skiplist = set(skiplist) if skiplist else set()`. All four membership tests
become O(1) hash lookups. `True`, strings, plugin objects, and `type()` are all hashable.
**Proof:** 15,050,000 ops → 200,000 ops. **75× op reduction.** BottleTest 2/2 PASS.
**Flask — CLEAN.** All per-scope callback tables use `defaultdict(list)` keyed by scope
string with dict-key lookups (O(1)). Route registration delegates to Werkzeug's indexed
trie. Error handler MRO walk is bounded O(blueprints × MRO_depth). No CWE-407 found.
