Diamond Recursion Scan — CLEAN
Scan date: 2026-03-29 Pattern: Recursive cycle/dependency check without visited set (CWE-407 diamond recursion, O(2^D))

Findings
RecomputeNodeDirty: Uses node->status_known() as a per-node visited flag. Before recursing into dependencies, Ninja checks if (node->status_known()) return true;. This is the canonical O(N) visited-flag pattern — CLEAN.
VerifyDAG: Uses a DFS stack vector for cycle detection (ancestor set). Non-recursive for the visited case — uses an in_edge_->mark flag to detect already-processed edges.
