Bug Report: Data Integrity — DependencyClosureComputer Cache Uses Wrong Key, Returns Stale Results After Graph Update

Severity Assessment

  • Impact: Stale dependency closures used for subplan decomposition — files incorrectly included or excluded from subplans after re-indexing
  • Likelihood: Medium — triggered whenever the repo is re-indexed while the service is running
  • Priority: High

Location

  • File: src/cleveragents/application/services/decomposition_graph.py
  • Function: DependencyClosureComputer.compute_closure
  • Lines: ~44–96
  • Category: data-integrity

Description

_closure_cache is keyed only by root file path (str), with no reference to the graph object passed in. If the same DependencyClosureComputer instance is reused with a different DependencyGraph (e.g., after a re-index), stale cached closures from the old graph are silently returned for any root file that was previously computed.

Evidence

def compute_closure(self, graph: DependencyGraph, root_files: list[str], cutoff: int = 0) -> frozenset[str]:
    result: set[str] = set()
    for root in root_files:
        if root in self._closure_cache:        # ← no graph identity check — stale hit possible
            result.update(self._closure_cache[root])
            continue
        # ... compute new closure and cache it ...

Scenario:

  1. Initial graph: A → B → C
  2. compute_closure(graph1, ["A"]){A, B, C} cached for key "A"
  3. Re-index: graph updated, dependency B → C removed
  4. compute_closure(graph2, ["A"]) → returns stale {A, B, C} instead of {A, B}

Expected Behavior

Cached closures should only be reused if the graph hasn't changed since they were computed.

Actual Behavior

Closures computed for a previous graph version are returned unchanged, causing incorrect subplan decomposition.

Suggested Fix

Key the cache on both the graph identity and the root file:

cache_key = (id(graph), root)  # or use graph.version/hash if available
if cache_key in self._closure_cache:
    result.update(self._closure_cache[cache_key])
    continue
# ... compute and cache with cache_key ...

Or, document that clear_cache() must be called when the graph changes, and call it from the re-indexing code.

TDD Note

After this bug issue is verified, a corresponding Type/Testing issue will be created for TDD. The test will use tags: @tdd_issue, @tdd_issue_, and @tdd_expected_fail to prove the bug exists before fixing it.

## Bug Report: Data Integrity — `DependencyClosureComputer` Cache Uses Wrong Key, Returns Stale Results After Graph Update ### Severity Assessment - **Impact**: Stale dependency closures used for subplan decomposition — files incorrectly included or excluded from subplans after re-indexing - **Likelihood**: Medium — triggered whenever the repo is re-indexed while the service is running - **Priority**: High ### Location - **File**: `src/cleveragents/application/services/decomposition_graph.py` - **Function**: `DependencyClosureComputer.compute_closure` - **Lines**: ~44–96 - **Category**: data-integrity ### Description `_closure_cache` is keyed only by root file path (`str`), with no reference to the `graph` object passed in. If the same `DependencyClosureComputer` instance is reused with a **different** `DependencyGraph` (e.g., after a re-index), stale cached closures from the old graph are silently returned for any root file that was previously computed. ### Evidence ```python def compute_closure(self, graph: DependencyGraph, root_files: list[str], cutoff: int = 0) -> frozenset[str]: result: set[str] = set() for root in root_files: if root in self._closure_cache: # ← no graph identity check — stale hit possible result.update(self._closure_cache[root]) continue # ... compute new closure and cache it ... ``` **Scenario:** 1. Initial graph: `A → B → C` 2. `compute_closure(graph1, ["A"])` → `{A, B, C}` cached for key `"A"` 3.

Implementation Attempt Starting — Tier 1: haiku — [AUTO-IMP-ISSUE-7500]

I am beginning implementation of this bug fix. Here's what I'm planning to do:

Issue: DependencyClosureComputer cache in decomposition_graph.py is keyed only by root file path, not by graph identity. This causes stale closures to be returned when the same instance is reused with a different DependencyGraph after re-indexing.

Planned Fix: Change the cache key from root (str) to (id(graph), root) (tuple) so that closures are only reused when the same graph object is in use.

Approach:

  1. Read the current implementation of decomposition_graph.py
  2. Fix the cache key in DependencyClosureComputer.compute_closure
  3. Write BDD tests to verify the fix
  4. Run all quality gates (lint, typecheck, unit tests, integration tests)
  5. Create a PR closing this issue
