Summary

This PR ports and refines Python call graph precision improvements and qualified symbol resolution on top of main (v0.140.0).

Key Improvements

  1. Python Call Qualifier & Receiver Precision:

    • Extracts self/cls method qualifiers (SelfRecv) so intra-class method calls bind directly to the enclosing class.
    • Extracts attribute paths (Path) for static class method calls (Alpha.helper()) and dotted module calls (services.users.load()).
    • Seamlessly integrates with upstream receiver-type inference (rtype) from local constructor assignments and parameter annotations (infer_python_call_receiver_type).
    • Unknown/untyped instance receivers (alpha.helper()) now carry path qualifiers instead of falling through to bare-name resolution, preventing false-positive cross-class edges to unrelated methods with the same name.
  2. Python Aliased & Module Imports:

    • Captures python_scope, python_local, and is_module_import metadata on from ... import ... as ... statements.
    • Accurately resolves calls against aliased imports (e.g. from pkg.cache import Cache as NewCache; NewCache()) to the underlying symbol (Cache).
  3. Builtin Noise Filtering:

    • Incorporates common Python builtin function calls (print, len, range, dict, list, set, etc.) into cross-file noise filtering to avoid wasteful indexing passes.
  4. Qualified Symbol Lookup Across Surfaces:

    • Storage queries: Added get_node_ids_by_qualified_name and get_nodes_with_files_by_symbol.
    • Graph CTE queries: Extended recursive call graph traversal queries to match n.name = ?1 OR n.qualified_name = ?1.
    • CLI: refs, callgraph, and impact now accept qualified symbol names (e.g., Alpha.helper) when disambiguating methods with identical names across classes.
    • MCP Tools: find_references, get_ast_node, and get_call_graph support qualified names and return unambiguous results.

Verification

  • Comprehensive test coverage added in tests/integration.rs and tests/cli_e2e.rs.
  • All 1,116 library unit and regression tests pass (cargo test --lib).
  • All 72 integration tests pass (cargo test --test integration).
  • CLI E2E tests pass (cargo test --test cli_e2e).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for qualified Python symbols, including class methods, imported symbols, aliases, module paths, and stub files.
    • Reference search, call graphs, impact analysis, and AST lookups now resolve qualified names more accurately.
    • File filters can disambiguate symbols with the same qualified name across files.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Ambiguous or missing qualified symbols now return clearer errors instead of falling back incorrectly.
    • Reduced false-positive references and call-graph edges for ambiguous receivers, shadowed imports, and Python built-ins.
    • Improved handling of same-named methods across files and classes.
    • Existing indexes may need rebuilding to apply updated analysis results.

Python qualified-call resolution can incorrectly attribute calls made through an exception-handler alias to an outer import, producing inaccurate cross-file references. This is a bounded indexing-precision issue that should be fixed before relying on these results.

93-101: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a qualified Beta.helper caller to both fixtures.

The current fixture does not expose a production failure because Beta.helper has no caller. Add def beta_static_call(): return Beta.helper(None) and assert that beta_static_call is absent from the CLI and MCP Alpha.helper results. This creates a material regression check for qualified-name resolution.

Thanks for this — it's a substantial piece of work, and the core ideas are right. self/cls binding, Alpha.helper() static calls, aliased class imports and qualified-name lookup across CLI/MCP are all things this index should have. Several of them measurably work (evidence below). I'm requesting changes rather than merging, because as it stands the branch also makes the call graph less trustworthy than main in four specific ways, each of which is a local fix.

How I reviewed it. Your branch is based on v0.140.0 and main is now v0.144.0, so I rebased it locally (only tests/cli_e2e.rs and tests/integration.rs conflicted — both sides had appended tests, I kept both; I verified no line from either side was lost). Then I built the base (f09bc00) and head binaries, indexed the same trees with both, and diffed the resulting edge sets rather than relying on test names:

probe files base edges head edges
third-party Python corpus (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages) 3,818 529,593 197,835
this repo's own tree (Rust 162 / JS 84 / Python 15 / …) 307 12,361 12,354
9-file Python fixture 9 29 20

The count dropping is not itself the problem — removing false positives is the point. The problem is which edges move, and that the confidence labelling shifts underneath them:

corpus `calls` edges, by confidence
                base        head
ambiguous    319,107  ->   11,022     (-96.5%)
extracted     67,902  ->   30,562     (-55.0%)
inferred      48,873  ->   62,260     (+27.4%)

impact defaults to --min-confidence inferred, so edges relabelled from ambiguous to inferred go from being folded out of risk scoring to being counted by it.


Blockers

1. self.method() on an inherited method is dropped entirely

SelfRecv(Class) restricts candidates to qualified_name == "<enclosing class>.<name>" (src/parser/relations/helpers.rs:158-200self_filter_candidates, src/indexer/pipeline/resolve.rs:1149). There's no walk up the inherits chain, so a self.helper() resolving to a base class, a mixin, or unittest.TestCase machinery matches nothing and the edge is dropped. These were extracted on base.

# mixin.py
class Base:
    def helper(self): return 1
class Child(Base):
    def run(self): return self.helper()
base:  Child.run -> Base.helper [extracted]
head:  (no calls edges at all)

Restricted to cases provable from the index's own inherits edges (target's class is a transitive ancestor of the source's class), the corpus loses 2,096 true edges — a floor, since it only counts same-file inheritance with an indexed parent:

_pytest/_code/code.py: ExceptionChainRepr.toterminal -> TerminalRepr.toterminal
_pytest/capture.py:    TeeCaptureIO.__init__         -> CaptureIO.__init__
_pytest/fixtures.py:   TopRequest.addfinalizer       -> FixtureRequest.addfinalizer

User-visible effect: impact Base.helper answers "0 callers / risk LOW" for base classes and mixins — precisely the symbols with the largest blast radius.

Suggested fix: when the direct Type.name filter comes back empty, walk the inherits closure of impl_type and retry per ancestor. If the closure is unresolved (external base class), fall back to the old bare-name/ambiguous behaviour rather than dropping. Dropping is only correct when you know the class owns the method.

2. A receiver variable whose name coincides with a module filename manufactures cross-module edges

filter_by_segment_chain (src/indexer/pipeline/resolve.rs:1105-1130) matches the leading Path segment against /{seg}.py, /{seg}.pyi, /{seg}/__init__.py. But CalleeQualifier::Path is produced for any unknown receiver (alpha.helper(), self.dep.helper(), cmd.run()), and nothing checks the segment is actually bound to a module by an import in scope. Any local, parameter or attribute whose name matches a .py basename binds the call to that file's members — at inferred, which impact counts.

# cmd.py
class Command:
    def execute(self): return "wrong"
# builder.py
class Builder:
    def execute(self): return "right"
def make_builder(): return Builder()
# app.py
from builder import make_builder
def go():
    cmd = make_builder()      # cmd IS a Builder
    return cmd.execute()
base:  go -> Builder.execute [ambiguous]   <- correct target present
       go -> Command.execute [ambiguous]
head:  go -> Command.execute [inferred] {"q":"path","v":"cmd"}   <- only the wrong one, promoted

refs Builder.execute now answers "no callers"; refs Command.execute names a caller that doesn't exist. At corpus scale, 6,460 q:path edges have a target whose file basename equals the segment and a source file that does not import it; 1,705 of those cross top-level packages:

_pytest/_code/code.py :: ExceptionInfo.exconly -> pip/_vendor/rich/text.py :: Text.rstrip
_pytest/_io/pprint.py :: PrettyPrinter._repr   -> passlib/context.py :: CryptContext.copy

A text.rstrip() on a local string becomes an edge into rich/text.py. This is the failure mode src/indexer/pipeline/python_modules.rs:20-23 singles out as this repo's worst — "a phantom bound to a real node ... precisely because nothing in the answer says it is wrong" — and it's now at a tier counted by default.

Suggested fix: only treat a leading Path segment as a module reference when find_python_import_binding(scope, segment) returns a binding with is_module_import == true. The rewrite at index_files.rs:1430-1447 already computes exactly that. With no such binding the segment is a runtime receiver: keep the old bare-name/ambiguous behaviour, but don't path-match it against filenames.

3. INDEX_VERSION is not bumped

src/domain.rs:356 is unchanged, and the repo's own index_version_guard fails on this branch and states the decision rule. The answer to its question is unambiguously yes — 529,593 → 197,835 edges on identical input. Measured consequence: a base-built index queried by the head binary reports healthy and serves the old graph, then goes half-and-half after a single edit:

$ cg-head health-check          # base-built index
OK: 37 nodes, 29 edges, 9 files      <- no staleness signal
$ cg-head incremental-index          # after touching ONE file
Incremental index: 1 files updated
# untouched file: old rules, cross-class phantom retained
# edited file:    new rules, {"q":"path","v":"Alpha"}

One index, two resolution regimes, no signal. Fix: bump to 71 with a note on the constant naming what moved, then UPDATE_EXTRACTION_FINGERPRINT=1 cargo test --test index_version_guard.

4. The branch is CI-red

Note first: this repo requires maintainer approval for workflow runs on fork PRs, so CI has never run on this branch — the only green check was CodeRabbit. Locally:

  • tests/import_axis_parity.rs:237 fails. python_import_metadata (src/parser/relations/imports.rs:863-877) now emits "is_module_import": false unconditionally on from X import Y symbol rows; that test asserts the key is absent there.
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check fails: 49 diffs across 12 files, all PR-touched.

Everything else is green (1,142 lib + 335 cli_e2e + 77 integration + 25 integration_call_qualifier), and cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings is clean.

Fix: the consumers read the flag as .and_then(as_bool).unwrap_or(false), so false and absent are behaviourally identical — but the key is also stored in edges.metadata, which participates in idx_edges_unique, and emitting it produces a duplicate module-import edge in one case. Omitting the key when false fixes the test and the duplicate together. Then cargo fmt --all.


High

  1. self.method() fans out to same-named classes in unrelated packages. self_filter_candidates filters by qualified_name across the whole project with no file/module scoping, so self.parse() inside babel's Locale also binds to mkdocs/utils/babel_stub.py::Locale.parse. refs Command.run --file setuptools/_distutils/cmd.py goes from 33 references (15 caller files) on base to 60, including pip's unrelated Command. Suggest scoping to same file, then same package, before any fallback.

  2. CLI refs/callgraph/impact lost the qualified→bare-name fallback (refs.rs:265-291, callgraph.rs:83-115, impact.rs:77-113). All three now branch on raw_symbol.contains('.') and require an exact qualified_name; resolve_qualified_symbol (src/cli/symbols.rs:137-162) documented and did the opposite. This is language-agnostic and hits Rust/TS/JS users too — on this repo's own index:

    [base rc=0] refs health.probe            -> 4 references to 'probe'
    [head rc=1] refs health.probe            -> Symbol 'health.probe' not found in index.
    [head rc=1] callgraph freshness.disclose -> ... the index may be stale — run `incremental-index`
    

    The reindex hint is what callgraph.rs:213-217's own comment says the gate exists to prevent, and show kept its fallback, so show health.probe succeeds while refs health.probe fails on the same binary. Suggest mirroring show: exact qualified match first, fall back to the base-name path, and gate the hint on the base name being absent.

  3. The local-shadowing guard over-collects and has no test. Two independent problems in index_files.rs:1362-1367: collect_idents recurses the whole assignment LHS, so self.compute = 1 registers compute as a local (and d[key] = v registers d and key); and walk_python_scopes writes each method's locals under both Class.method and the bare method, so a module-level process() inherits the locals of every X.process in the file. Either makes the guard continue, dropping a true extracted edge before resolution. Single-variable pairs:

    self.compute = 1; return compute()   base: Engine.run -> compute [extracted]   head: (none)
    self.total   = 1; return compute()   base: Engine.run -> compute [extracted]   head: same [extracted]
    

    Neutering the guard leaves the whole suite green, so the line is uncovered.

Medium / Low

  1. The builtin-name filter suppresses user-defined symbols reached without an explicit named import — the list includes id, type, input, filter, map, set, list, format, open, next, super. Suggest gating on "no unique project definition of this name".
  2. Duplicate module-import edge when a file uses both import X as Y and from X import Z (same root cause as #4).
  3. impact --json changed its "symbol" field without a note.
  4. python_local records the wrong binding for a plain dotted import.
  5. Coverage gaps line up exactly with the defects above.
  6. (Low) Two load-bearing comment blocks deleted with no code change; some dead code and a third divergent qualifier rule; get_node_ids_by_qualified_name omits the <external> exclusion its siblings carry.

What I confirmed is working

I want to be clear that this isn't a wholesale rejection — a lot of it checks out:

  • Non-Python extraction is untouched. Indexing this repo with both binaries: 12,361 → 12,354 edges, and every one of the 12 lost / 5 gained is Python. Zero Rust / JS / Markdown / JSON / Bash changes.
  • OR n.qualified_name = ?1 does not fan out bare-name queries — the failure mode would need a node whose qualified_name equals another node's bare name; there is 1 such node out of 740 in this repo and 0 in the corpus, and the Rust qualified queries return byte-identical caller sets on both binaries.
  • The advertised precision wins are real: cross-class false positives (Alpha.run -> Beta.helper) removed, self binding correct, from ... import Cache as NewCache; NewCache() resolving to Cache.
  • Incremental indexing converges to a full rebuild, including through the changed restore_inbound_edges qualified-name path — verified for a content edit and for a class rename.
  • Ambiguity handling is sane: exit 1 with suggestions on both text and JSON paths, --file disambiguates, truncation disclosed.
  • MCP gained qualified-name support without losing anything — the fallback regression in #6 is CLI-only.
  • Two of your new tests are not vacuous — mutating matches!(receiver, "self"|"cls") and WHERE n.qualified_name = ?1 each turns the intended test red.

Suggested order

  1. Bump INDEX_VERSION + re-record the fingerprint; omit is_module_import when false (clears both red test targets and the duplicate edge); cargo fmt --all.
  2. Gate the Path filename matching on a real module-import binding (blocker 2).
  3. Walk the inheritance chain in self_filter_candidates, and scope it (blocker 1 + high 5).
  4. Restore the CLI fallback and the hint gate (high 6).
  5. Fix the two over-collections in the shadow guard, and cover the line (high 7).
  6. Gate the builtin filter on "no unique project definition" (medium 8).

Also worth rebasing onto current main when you pick this up — you're 33 commits behind, and only those two test files conflict.

Happy to go into more detail on any of these, and I can share the exact fixtures if that helps. Thanks again for putting the work in.

@sdsrss I rebased the original three commits onto current main (v0.145.0) and pushed one focused review-fix commit, 602ffbff.

This addresses the reported Python import/runtime-receiver split, scoped direct and inherited method resolution, shadow binding collection, builtin-name handling, import metadata deduplication, qualified CLI selection/freshness behavior, <external> filtering, incremental edge restoration, INDEX_VERSION 71, and the CodeRabbit CLI findings. The regressions assert edge targets and confidence tiers for the reported inheritance, package-collision, filename-collision, alias, shadowing, builtin, pending-call, and full-vs-incremental cases.

Local validation with Rust 1.95.0 passed:

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check and git diff --check
  • extraction fingerprint regeneration and guard
  • cargo check and Clippy -D warnings for no-default and embed-model
  • full Rust tests for no-default and embed-model with model downloads disabled
  • Node 20 CI JavaScript set (1,263 passed, 1 expected skip)
  • indexing benchmark smoke test

GitHub reports the branch as mergeable with no conflict. CI and PR Impact Review are currently action_required because this is a fork PR: CI, PR Impact Review. Please approve those workflow runs. Please re-review after CI, PR Impact Review, and the pending CodeRabbit review pass.

In `@src/indexer/pipeline/python_modules.rs`:
- Around line 291-300: Update the logic computing consumed so a non-alias
receiver whose name does not prefix-match module_segments returns None instead
of falling back to consuming one segment. Preserve the one-segment fallback only
for an explicit alias binding, preventing pkg.helper() from resolving helper
from pkg/sub.py rather than pkg/__init__.py.

In `@src/indexer/pipeline/resolve.rs`:
- Around line 720-722: Update the ambiguity-marking condition in the resolution
flow to require refined.len() > 1 for both preserve_all and Python qualifier
cases, preventing mark_call_edges_ambiguous from downgrading a single refined
target to CONF_AMBIGUOUS. Preserve ambiguity marking when multiple refined
targets remain.

In `@src/resolve.rs`:
- Line 72: Update detect_ambiguity and the get_nodes_with_files_by_symbol lookup
so qualified-name precedence applies only when the requested name is explicitly
qualified; for bare names, return all matching definitions, including qualified
method names such as Class.name, before ambiguity detection.

167-167: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Record except_clause aliases as local bindings.

except Error as api binds api inside the handler. The collector skips except_clause, so api.send() can fall through to an outer import api and create a false cross-file call edge. Collect the clause's alias field and add a regression test.

Proposed fix

+            if let Some(alias) = node.child_by_field_name("alias") {

Addressed the remaining CodeRabbit outside-diff finding in b9112a3.

  • except-clause aliases are now recorded as function-local bindings
  • a shadowed module receiver is stopped before runtime bare-name fallback can recreate the false edge
  • ordinary runtime receivers without a colliding import retain the existing fallback behavior
  • unit and end-to-end regressions cover the collector, the false-edge case, and the unshadowed control

Validation passed: full Rust suite without default features, all 32 qualifier integration tests, extraction fingerprint guard, Clippy with and without embed-model, and the new embed-model regression tests.

@sdsrss The final CodeRabbit finding is now fixed in b9112a3 and GitHub reports the PR mergeable with no conflict. The fresh fork workflow runs need maintainer approval: CI https://github.com/sdsrss/code-graph-mcp/actions/runs/34444490859 and PR Impact Review https://github.com/sdsrss/code-graph-mcp/actions/runs/34444490956. CodeRabbit reached its review limit on this push, so its green status means rate-limited rather than freshly reviewed; it reports the next included review window in about 36 minutes. Please approve the workflows, then re-review once those checks and a fresh CodeRabbit pass complete.
