New diamond recursion defects (O(2^D) → O(N)):
- godot-0009: Font::_is_cyclic no visited set — CJK fallback diamond, 2648x at F=4,D=8
- godot-0010: Font::_update_rids_fb no visited set — duplicate RIDs + O(N^2) hot path

- typescript-0003: hasBaseType inner check() no visited set — 1024x at D=10; hot on instanceof

New O(N²) defects:

efcore diamond recursion scan — CLEAN

Scanned: 2026-03-29 Scope: diamond recursion / CWE-407 in migration dependency graph traversal

Files checked

  • src/Shared/Multigraph.cs — Kahn's algorithm (BFS topological sort) using Dictionary<TVertex, Dictionary<TVertex, object?>> for _successorMap and _predecessorMap. predecessorCounts is a Dictionary<TVertex, int>. All O(1) hash operations, no Array linear scans. Clean.
  • src/EFCore/Migrations/ — delegates to Multigraph. Clean.
  • src/EFCore.Relational/Metadata/Internal/Sequence.csIsCyclic is a sequence property (CYCLE/NO CYCLE SQL option), not graph cycle detection. Clean.

Verdict

CLEAN. All topology code uses Kahn's BFS with Dictionary-based O(1) lookups. No diamond recursion pattern. EFCore already has 3 previous defects (0001-0003) in different subsystems.
