russell@unturf.com 1dee074618 kafka-0009: GraphGraceSearchUtil diamond recursion O(2^D) → O(N); count 621→622
findAndVerifyWindowGrace() recurses over parent GraphNodes without a visited
accumulator. Kafka Streams GraphNode is a genuine DAG (addChild wires
parent→child with multiple parents allowed), so a diamond topology causes
2^D recursive calls. Fix: thread an IdentityHashMap<GraphNode,Long> memo
through recursion; memoize on first visit, return cached result on revisit.
8/8 unit tests PASS; D=10 defect count=3071 vs patched O(N).

Diamond-recursion CLEAN markers added for: flink, neo4j, janusgraph,
tinkerpop, dgraph, zookeeper, storm, ant, gradle, graal, eclipse-jdt,
exposed, intellij, kotlin, scala3, hibernate-0007 (prior session work
now committed).

tinkerpop — diamond recursion CWE-407 scan: CLEAN

Scan date: 2026-03-29

Method scanned

TraversalHelper.getStepsOfAssignableClassRecursively — recursive step collection across parent/child traversals.

Finding

Each Traversal.Admin has exactly one parent (getParent() returns a single TraversalParent). The traversal structure is a tree (parent-step owns its child traversals; each child has exactly one parent). Diamond sharing of sub-traversals does not occur in the Gremlin traversal compilation model.

The existing tinkerpop-0001 (path isSimple linear scan) was already filed and patched. No new diamond recursion patterns were found.

Verdict: CLEAN
