Summary

  • treat Python assignment-expression (:=) targets as lexical bindings
  • prevent a later call through a walrus-rebound imported name from becoming an invented import-grounded relationship
  • add a schema-valid regression test covering the false-edge case

Part of #22

Validation

  • python3 -m pytest -q (191 passed)
  • git diff --check origin/main...HEAD
  • python3 -m diffgraph.cli --help

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Python code analysis now resolves calls using the name bindings active at each point in the code, including when a walrus assignment shadows an imported name on the same line.
    • Calls in a walrus expression’s value, a for loop’s iterable, function defaults, and class bases use the binding active before the assignment takes effect.
    • Walrus assignments in lambdas no longer incorrectly shadow imported names in the enclosing function. Assignments in function and class headers are attributed to the enclosing scope.

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius.

Walkthrough

The parser tracks source-byte positions for imports, calls, and rebindings. It uses these positions and binding histories to resolve calls around rebinding expressions, including when calls and rebindings occur on the same line.

Changes

Source-position call resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Record source positions
diffgraph/structural.py
Import and call records, import histories, and module rebindings now store source-byte positions.
Set binding timing and scope
diffgraph/structural.py
Rebindings take effect according to expression evaluation order. Walrus targets inside lambdas are excluded from enclosing bindings. Targets in function and class declaration headers are assigned to the enclosing scope.
Resolve calls against binding histories
diffgraph/structural.py, tests/test_structural.py
Call resolution compares call positions with binding histories. Tests cover walrus expressions, loop iterables, lambda scope, function defaults, and class bases.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c2300

A narrow lambda case can still report an invented imported call. The header regression test also needs a same-name fixture. These issues warrant a fix or owner follow-up, but do not establish a broad failure.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Record for bindings after iterable evaluation.

for_statement records run_remote at the end of the whole loop. A body call occurs before that position, so _resolve_call_target incorrectly keeps the earlier import-grounded target. Record the binding at the iterable's end.

diffgraph/structural.py:427-431
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Record declaration bindings after default evaluation.

At diffgraph/structural.py:431, a top-level declaration binds at node.start_byte. For def run_remote(value=run_remote()): pass, the default call is recorded with module scope. The resolver then treats the declaration's None history entry as visible and emits a calls relationship from the file to sym::<file>::run_remote with resolution_method: "resolved".

Python evaluates the default before it binds the function name. Record function bindings at the function body's start, while keeping class bindings after the class body. The separate walrus correction does not fix this branch.

Suggested fix
-                    module_rebindings.append((name, node.start_byte))
+                    body = node.child_by_field_name("body")

+                        body.start_byte
+                        if node.type == "function_definition" and body is not None
+                        else node.end_byte
+                    )

🟠 Major · Bind a declaration after its header expressions execute. · structural.py:431

diffgraph/structural.py:431
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Bind a declaration after its header expressions execute.

A top-level function name does not bind until its default arguments have executed. For from remote import run_remote; def run_remote(value=run_remote()): ..., this position precedes the default-value call. The resolver then suppresses the valid import-grounded edge.

Use separate timing for header expressions and declaration bodies. Add regressions for function defaults and class base expressions.

🟡 Minor · Use run_remote as the declaration name in this regression test. · test_structural.py:1769-1788

tests/test_structural.py:1769-1788
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use run_remote as the declaration name in this regression test.

function_rebind and class_rebind do not rebind run_remote. The current assertions can pass even if the analyzer records a same-name declaration before evaluating its default argument or class base. Parameterize separate fixtures whose declaration is named run_remote, then assert that the header call remains import_grounded.
