Summary

• Problem: the standard compatibility move failed cgr check --fail-on-found. That is: move a function to another module and leave from .text import slug in the old one.
  • Every caller the edit left alone was reported as a dangling caller (renamed_to the new location), and the check exited 1.
  • Yet the program runs, dangling_importers is empty ([Bug]: cgr check --fail-on-found passes when a removed symbol is still imported (re-export / __all__), although the module no longer imports #2516 already follows re-exports), and the re-ingested graph re-binds the call.
  • Cause: _dangling only spared a caller whose own file was re-parsed in this pass and now binds the new name. An untouched caller is never re-parsed, so the question was never asked.
• Fix:
  • _dangling now asks of each gone module-level symbol whether its own module still binds its name after the edit. It uses the same _AfterBindings the importer check uses:
    • an own definition;
    • an alias such as slug = slugify;
    • an import that still resolves, following chains of re-exports into modules the edit left alone.
  • If the name is still bound, every caller that reaches it through that module still works, and none is listed. That covers from py.util import slug, import py.util as u; u.slug(), and a call inside the module.
  • structural_delta shares one module loader between the caller and importer checks. _dangling_importers is unchanged.
  • Still reported as before:
    • a move that leaves nothing behind (deleted, emptied, or importing another name);
    • a plain rename;
    • a removed method, which is reached through its class, so no module binding stands in for it.
  • Docs: a paragraph in structural-delta.md under the field table.
• Not changed: the issue's first suggestion, which is to trust any post-edit (caller, renamed_to) edge. The re-bound edge is heuristic ([Bug]: Python from pkg import make, Widget (re-exported in pkg/__init__.py) resolves make() / Widget() only heuristic, so cgr rename refuses every function or class a package re-exports #2654) and appears even when the move left nothing behind. So it would hide real ImportErrors, which the negative tests pin.

Demo

The GIF plays the issue's rx repro against Memgraph: py/app.py imports slug from py.util.

• The move with a re-export: git mv py/util.py py/text.py and from py.text import slug written into py/util.py. The program prints hello-world.
  • main: page is a dangling caller (renamed_to: py.text.slug), exit 1.
  • This branch: renamed is still reported, dangling_callers: [], exit 0.
• Negative, after resetting and re-indexing: the same move with an empty py/util.py. Python raises ImportError: cannot import name 'slug'.
  • Both main and this branch report page dangling and py.app as a dangling importer, exit 1.
• The new tests pass.

Test Plan

• All existing unit tests pass (make test): related suites run, full suite see below
• New tests added for new functionality
• Integration tests pass (if applicable)
• Manual testing performed

Red/green TDD in codebase_rag/tests/test_check_reexported_move.py (12 tests). They run through observe with the stateful graph double and through run_check against a git base. Each Python case also runs the program itself to show whether the call works.

Red on main (aae56be): 5 failed, 7 passed. The 5 failures:

• test_a_caller_reaching_a_move_through_a_re_export_is_not_dangling;
• test_a_rename_that_keeps_the_old_name_as_an_alias_is_not_dangling;
• test_a_caller_through_the_module_name_is_not_dangling;
• test_a_typescript_move_with_a_re_export[re-exported] (export { slug } from "./text");
• test_cgr_check_passes_a_move_with_a_re_export.

The 7 that pass on main are the negatives, which must keep passing.

Green on this branch: 12 passed. test_check_dangling_importers.py is unchanged and green (52 passed together).

Negatives:

• The old module deleted, emptied, importing another name, or importing slug from a module that has none: the caller is still dangling with renamed_to, and Python fails.
• A plain rename is still dangling.
• A removed method is still dangling although its module defines a same-named function.
• A TypeScript move with nothing left behind is still dangling.

Mutation checks, 5 caught:

• no still-bound check;
• the method guard dropped;
• the binding check dropped;
• the module's path not passed;
• the check limited to re-parsed callers.

Also:

• Wider runs: every test matching delta, check, contract, rename, move, mcp, import, dangling or stale passes, apart from main's known set.
• ruff check, ruff format and ty are clean.
• Merges with the open cgr check PRs: the change keeps clear of fix(check): report importers of a deleted or moved module #3285 ([Bug]: cgr check never reports importers of a deleted or moved module (Python import pkg.signals, from pkg import util; TS export * from "./util", import * as u): only removed_files is listed, dangling_importers is empty and --fail-on-found exits 0 while Python raises ModuleNotFoundError and tsc TS2307 #3266, importers of a deleted module) and fix(check): report decorator and modifier changes that change how a method is called #3311 ([Bug]: cgr check ignores decorator/modifier changes that break every caller (Python @property / @staticmethod added or removed, TS get/static, Java static, public -> private): symbols.changed: [], no findings, --fail-on-found exits 0 though the graph stores decorators/modifiers #3259). Both merge with this branch without conflicts.
  • Full suite with Memgraph (local, -n 4): 109 failed, 17,729 passed, 176 skipped. The 109 failures are the same set main fails in this environment (LLM provider keys, the build-binary check, the unreachable-network tests); none is new.
• Manual: the demo above.

Walkthrough

Dangling-caller detection now checks whether a removed or renamed module-level name remains usable after an edit. Python runtime bindings and JavaScript or TypeScript exports inform that check. Regression tests cover symbol moves, re-exports, aliases, and related binding cases.

Changes: Re-export-aware dangling caller checks

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Runtime binding analysis codebase_rag/structural_delta.py	Source analysis identifies runtime bindings, excludes TYPE_CHECKING-only branches, distinguishes inert assignments, and parses JavaScript or TypeScript exports.
Dangling caller binding check codebase_rag/structural_delta.py	Caller detection checks whether the former module still provides a caller-usable binding. Caller and importer analysis share a lazy module loader.
Regression coverage and documentation codebase_rag/tests/test_check_reexported_move.py, docs/architecture/structural-delta.md	Tests cover Python and TypeScript moves, re-exports, aliases, inactive imports, inert replacements, methods, and cgr check. The architecture document describes the binding rules.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template and provides a clear summary, demo, change type, issue link, detailed test plan, checklist, regression coverage, negative cases, and known full-suite failures.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#3248] requires that an unchanged caller reaching a moved symbol through a re-export is not dangling. The diff to codebase_rag/structural_delta.py adds _gone_for_callers, which _dangling now uses. A gone module-level name stops dangling when its former module still binds it after the edit. The check goes through _AfterBindings.binds(..., for_callers=True), which follows re-export chains into unchanged modules. A method stays dangling, because its module is a definition and a module binding does not stand in for it. The shared _AfterBindings also drives _dangling_importers, so the importer check now uses the same binding rules. The negative cases still dangle: an empty or deleted old module, a plain rename, and a removed method. The PR tests cover these cases and the cgr check --fail-on-found exit code. The PR does not adopt the issue's first suggestion to trust post-edit renamed_to edges. The PR gives a reason: those edges are heuristic and appear when the call fails at runtime. The issue's own expected behavior, which is that a call still resolving through the re-export is not dangling, is met. Verification limit: the structural_delta.py diff output was truncated at 16000 bytes. I confirmed the _dangling and _AfterBindings changes directly. I did not read the full TypeScript _JsExports logic or the test file. The prior PASS and the PR test evidence support those parts.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The production changes serve #3248. Each one supports the still-bound check or prevents false suppression in it. The _gone_for_callers helper and the _dangling signature change implement the fix. _SourceNames.inert and _inert_targets stop a literal-only reassignment from counting as callable. _typing_only and _type_checking_branches stop TYPE_CHECKING-only bindings from counting, as the PR review comment requested. The JS/TS _shares, _exports_locally, and _js_exports logic applies the same rule to TypeScript re-exports and type-only exports. The load_parsers import and the shared loader support the caller and importer checks. The docs paragraph in structural-delta.md and the regression tests in test_check_reexported_move.py describe and test this behavior. The TYPE_CHECKING and type-only rules also change _dangling_importers results. This follows from the shared binds method and matches the PR review request. The PR states that _dangling_importers is otherwise unchanged. I found no unrelated change. Verification limit: the diff output was truncated, so I did not read every TypeScript helper line. The prior review and the PR test evidence cover them.

Confidence Score: 4/5

[Medium impact] The change affects structural-check results for moved names across Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript projects.

Fix the false dangling-caller result for wrapped built-in functions before merging.

Summary

The PR keeps callers from being reported as dangling when an old module still exposes a moved symbol.

• Callers stay connected when the old module still exposes a usable name.

_{Reviews (6) · Last reviewed commit: "fix(check): read an export default value..." · Reviewed by Greptile}

[vitali87]

I checked this against #3248's repro and a set of variants. Callers stay working (and the PR reports nothing) for:

• a plain re-export;
• import x as x;
• from py.text import *;
• slug = _s;
• import py.util; py.util.slug();
• from py import util; util.slug().

With no re-export, or a re-export under another name, they stay dangling (exit 1). All as intended.

One case flips from right to wrong: a re-export that only exists for type checkers. After a move, util.py often keeps the name for its annotations under if TYPE_CHECKING:. At runtime the old import breaks, but the PR now counts the name as still bound:

mkdir rx && cd rx && git init -q && mkdir py && touch py/__init__.py
printf 'def slug(s):\n    return s.lower().replace(" ", "-")\n' > py/util.py
printf 'from py.util import slug\n\n\ndef page(title):\n    return slug(title)\n' > py/app.py
git add -A && git -c user.email=x@x -c user.name=x commit -qm init
cgr -q start --repo-path . --update-graph

git mv py/util.py py/text.py
printf 'from typing import TYPE_CHECKING\n\nif TYPE_CHECKING:\n    from py.text import slug  # for annotations only\n' > py/util.py
python3 -c 'from py.app import page; print(page("Hello World"))' 2>&1 | tail -1
cgr -q check --fail-on-found | jq -c '{dangling_callers: [.dangling_callers[] | {caller, target}]}'
echo "exit=${PIPESTATUS[0]}"
# ImportError: cannot import name 'slug' from 'py.util'
# main @ aae56be1:   {"dangling_callers":[{"caller":"rx__….py.app.page","target":"rx__….py.util.slug"}]}  exit=1
# this PR @ 31815b52: {"dangling_callers":[]}  exit=0

_AfterBindings.binds (structural_delta.py:1023) accepts any import in the module, and an import under if TYPE_CHECKING: (or if typing.TYPE_CHECKING:) never runs. The importer check that already used binds has the same blind spot on main: dangling_importers is [] there too, for an import that raises. This PR extends it to callers, which used to catch it.

Skipping bindings that sit under a TYPE_CHECKING guard in binds / _resolves would fix both. That's the same rule own_class_rebinds_import already applies ("a class under if TYPE_CHECKING: never runs, so it rebinds nothing"). A test with the repro above, expecting page dangling and from py.util import slug a dangling importer, would pin it.

Exclude TYPE_CHECKING definitions from runtime bindings.

CYPHER_DELTA_DEFINITIONS returns guarded definition nodes. _AfterBindings.binds returns True for qn in definitions before runtime guard handling. A guarded definition can therefore make a re-exporting module appear to bind a removed name. The dangling-importer check can then miss an ImportError.

Carry guard metadata into definitions, or filter guarded definitions before this branch. Keep definitions in the else branch as runtime bindings.

@greptile review

[vitali87]

Unit Tests (macos-latest, py3.12, shard 1/2) failed on 2015f94. I don't think this PR caused it.

• What failed: one test, codebase_rag/tests/test_go_build_constraints.py::test_a_chain_of_redeclarations_links_each_link_once[every], out of 12033 that passed. It failed assert _cpu_seconds() - started < 5: the Go interface-link walk over 10,000 links took 7.4 s of CPU time on that runner, under coverage.
• Why it isn't this PR's: this PR only touches structural_delta.py, its tests, one JS constant and the docs, and no Go parser code. The same shard passes on this commit on macOS py3.13, ubuntu py3.12 and py3.13, and windows py3.13. Locally the call takes 0.34 s. The test came from main (8764167), and main's last completed CI run (c09346f) passed it. Main's newer runs are still queued.
• Fix: none exists yet. A robust bound would raise the budget to about 20 s, or set a ratio against a 1,000-link run. Either still catches a quadratic walk, which takes minutes at 10,000 links. That change belongs in its own PR, not this one.

I'm re-running the failed job once.

Working built-in exports fail checks

A valid default export such as export default (String); now leaves unchanged callers falsely marked as dangling. _js_default_value_export unwraps the parentheses and records String as a local name, but _exports_locally accepts only graph definitions or imports. The built-in String is neither.

With export { default as slug } from './text' left behind, slug(title) works, but cgr check --fail-on-found fails. Previously, this expression counted as the module's own default value. Recognize valid built-in bindings when resolving the unwrapped name.
