feat: resolve PHP use function imports through declared namespaces - #1484
Conversation
Addresses #1185 (stage 1) CGR qualifies PHP by file path and ignored the `namespace` declaration, so a `use function App\Text\format` import could never match the registered `project.text.format`. The miss fell through to the simple-name trie, which binds to whichever same-named function it reaches first: before: ('php_ns.caller.render', 'php_ns.money.format') never imported after: ('php_ns.caller.render', 'php_ns.text.format') A WRONG edge rather than a missing one -- the graph gained a relationship the source never expressed, and nothing downstream could tell. This is the repo's only `LIMITATION:` comment (call_resolver.py). Deliberately NOT folding namespaces into qualified names. That would rewrite the identity of every existing PHP node in the graph, and PSR-4 makes namespace and directory independent anyway, so the qn could not be derived from the path. Instead the declaration goes into a side map (`php_module_namespaces`) and is consulted at import resolution: split the target into namespace and symbol, find the module DECLARING that namespace, look the symbol up there. Returns None rather than guessing whenever the answer is not unique -- no module declares the namespace, or several do and more than one defines the symbol. The trie fallback then applies exactly as before, so this can only replace an arbitrary binding with a determined one, never introduce a new arbitrary one. Only top-level `namespace` declarations are recorded, and the unnamed `namespace { }` global block is skipped: binding it to "" would match the namespace part of every unqualified import target. Verified against five alternative implementations. Two initially passed and are now covered: - taking the FIRST match instead of requiring uniqueness (no fixture had two candidates inside ONE namespace) - dropping the per-module reset (no test parsed the same module twice, so incremental re-index -- the normal path in a running cgr -- was untested; editing a file's namespace would have left both bound forever) Stages 2 and 3 (php-parser NameResolver facts) remain open on #1185. PHP and import suites: 554 passed.

Greptile SummaryPHP function-import resolution now handles namespace-to-path mapping and PHP case-insensitive calls without creating unrelated bindings. Executed regression checks showed that case-mismatched namespace imports resolve using the correct trie prefix, and Confidence Score: 5/5No blocking failure remains. The reported resolution failures were exercised against the current implementation and the observed behavior contradicts each failure path.

Two P1s from review, both reproduced by execution before fixing.
CROSS-LANGUAGE LEAK. `_php_target_for_namespace_import` ran for any caller.
The namespace map holds only PHP modules, but the import targets matched
against it are dotted strings any language can produce, so a JS
`import { format }` recorded as `App.Text.format` resolved into a PHP
function:
JS caller, target 'App.Text.format' -> proj.text.format
An edge ACROSS languages that no source expressed -- a new class of wrong
edge introduced by the fix meant to remove wrong edges. I had reasoned about
which targets could match and never about which callers could reach the
helper. Now gated on the caller's language.
MULTIPLE NAMESPACE BLOCKS. PHP allows `namespace A { } namespace B { }` in
one file. Both blocks' functions land in the same module qn, so recording the
first made an import of `App\First\helper` resolve to the `helper` defined in
`App\Second`.
The previous docstring named this trap exactly -- "a file with two namespace
blocks has no single answer, and guessing one would produce exactly the
confident-wrong binding this whole change exists to remove" -- and then
recorded the first block anyway. Such files now record nothing and fall
through to the trie, where they were before this feature existed: never worse
than the status quo, and never asserting an answer it does not have.
RED verified for both: removing the language guard fails only the
cross-language test; reverting to first-block-wins fails only the multi-block
test.
Scoped regression run over the shared call path (`_try_resolve_direct_import`
is language-agnostic, so JS/TS and general resolution tests are what would
catch a regression from threading `language` through): 1075 passed.

@greptileai review 3ff15fb Both P1s confirmed by my own reproduction before fixing, and both are real. P1-1 — cross-language leakThe worst finding against this change, because the fix introduced a new class of wrong edge — exactly the defect it exists to remove. The namespace map holds only PHP modules, but the import targets matched against it are dotted strings any language can produce. I reasoned carefully about which targets could match and never about which callers could reach the helper — the reachability side of the guard went unasked. Now gated on the caller's language. The test asserts JS, TS, Python and P1-2 — multiple namespace blocksConfirmed: Both blocks' functions share one module qn, so an import of Worth stating plainly what happened here, since it is not a case of missing the risk. My own docstring said recording the first block was "deliberate rather than a simplification: a file with two namespace blocks has no single answer, and guessing one would produce exactly the confident-wrong binding this whole change exists to remove." I named the trap, in the code I was writing, and implemented the guess anyway. Multi-block files now record nothing and fall through to the trie — where they were before this feature existed. Never worse than the status quo, and never asserting an answer it does not have. Same discipline as the Python frontend's VerificationRED proven for both, each failing only the test that names it:

Found one actionable issue:
|
PHP namespaces and function names are case-insensitive, so
`use function app\text\FORMAT` binds to `App\Text\format`. Verified by
executing it under PHP 8.5 rather than from documentation:
namespace App\Text; function format(...)
use function app\text\FORMAT; -> prints "formatted:x"
Exact-case comparison sent such imports to the simple-name trie -- the same
wrong-edge path this feature exists to avoid, with a valid import silently
binding to an unrelated same-named function. Reproduced before fixing:
'App.Text.format' -> proj.text.format
'app.text.FORMAT' -> None
ASCII-only rather than `str.casefold()`, and this is the load-bearing part:
PHP folds A-Z only, so Unicode folding would match identifiers the language
treats as DISTINCT -- trading a missed binding for a wrong one, which is the
worse direction. `str.lower()` has the same defect (Turkish dotless i, Kelvin
sign).
Folding is for COMPARISON only. The registered qualified name is returned
unchanged, since it is the graph's real key.
The symbol is folded as well as the namespace, scanning only the matched
module's own registry entries rather than the whole registry. Covered
independently: a test varying only the namespace case and one varying only
the symbol case, so an implementation folding just one half fails.
RED verified. Exact-case matching fails both new tests; Unicode casefold
fails only the ASCII-only test, which pins the boundary with the Kelvin sign
plus a control asserting `str.casefold()` DOES match it -- so that test
cannot pass vacuously.
Scoped regression over the shared call path: 1077 passed.
`ty` caught the case-fold commit iterating `self.function_registry`, which is a `FunctionRegistryTrieProtocol` and not iterable at all -- `__contains__`, `get`, `keys`, `items` and `find_with_prefix`, but no `__iter__`. The tests passed because my doubles were plain dicts, which DO iterate. A double more permissive than the real object is the mirror-test failure: the suite was green against an interface production never provides. Two fixes, and the second matters more than the first: - Use `find_with_prefix`, the registry's own scoped query. Iterating would have been a full scan per import even where it worked. - Give the test doubles `find_with_prefix` so they carry the method the resolver actually calls, rather than relying on dict behaviour the protocol does not promise. RED re-proven after the refactor: exact-case folding still fails both case-insensitivity tests. `ty` reports zero errors in these files.

@greptileai review 982c960 Two further fixes since the P1 round. CodeRabbit's case-sensitivity finding — valid, fixedPHP namespaces and function names are case-insensitive.

The case-insensitive symbol fallback was silently dead. `find_with_prefix`
splits the prefix on dots and walks a trie node per part, so
`"proj.text."` produces a final EMPTY part that is never a key and the
lookup always returns []:
find_with_prefix("proj.text.") -> []
find_with_prefix("proj.text") -> [("proj.text.format", Function)]
So a valid `use function app\text\FORMAT` still fell through to the
simple-name trie whenever the SYMBOL casing differed -- the original defect
in another shape.
MY TESTS HID IT. `_FakeRegistry` subclassed dict and implemented
`find_with_prefix` with `startswith`, which happily accepts a trailing
separator. A double more permissive than the real object, which is the same
failure as the previous commit's dict-that-iterates, one layer along.
Replaced the double with the REAL `FunctionRegistryTrie`. It is cheap to
construct, so approximating it was never justified, and every mutation in the
alternative panel had been running against the permissive stand-in rather
than the shipped structure.
The prefix boundary is re-established explicitly: the remainder must start
with the separator, which also rejects a sibling module whose name merely
starts with this one (`proj.textutil` vs `proj.text`).
RED verified against the real trie: restoring the trailing separator fails
`test_a_mixed_case_import_resolves_like_php_does`. With the fake registry
that same mutation passed, which is the measurement showing the double was
the problem.

@greptileai review Requesting a scored review of the current head Your last full review is anchored to Every substantive check passes at this head: CodeQL, CodeRabbit, Sonar Zero Issues Gate, Type Check, Lint & Format, the full platform matrix (Windows/macOS/Ubuntu on py3.12 and py3.13) and Integration Tests. The only red checks are |
PHP keeps classes and functions in SEPARATE symbol tables: `use App\Text\format`
imports a class, `use function App\Text\format` imports a function. The
namespace fallback ignored the distinction, so a class or constant import whose
name happened to match a registered PHP function resolved to that function.
Reproduced before fixing:
class-style `use` (php_function_imports empty)
-> (NodeType.FUNCTION, 'proj.text.format')
It survived the caller-language guard because the caller IS PHP. The language
gate and the binding-kind gate are independent axes, and covering one said
nothing about the other -- the same "more axes than the author enumerated"
shape as the lock detector's WHAT-versus-WHERE on #1475.
`php_function_imports` already records which local names arrived via
`use function`, so the distinction needs no new parsing; `module_qn` is
threaded through to reach it.
An unknown `module_qn` returns False rather than defaulting True: a module
that cannot be identified cannot demonstrate the binding kind, and defaulting
True would reinstate the defect wherever the caller module is not threaded
through. Declining costs only the trie fallback, which is where such calls
went before this feature existed.
RED verified: removing the gate fails both new tests, each paired with a
positive so the assertions pin the gate rather than the fallback being off.

PHP function names are case-insensitive at the CALL SITE, not only in the
import path. Verified by executing it under PHP 8.5:
namespace App\Text; function format(...)
use function App\Text\format;
echo FORMAT("x"); // prints F:x
`_is_php_function_import` did an exact-case membership test, so it recognised
the IMPORT but not the CALL: the resolver declined and the call fell through
to the simple-name trie -- the same wrong-edge path, reached through the
alias instead of the target.
Reproduced before fixing:
call as 'format' -> (Function, 'proj.text.format')
call as 'FORMAT' -> None
A third axis of the same case-insensitivity. The mixed-case import test
varies the spelling of the imported PATH; this varies the spelling of the
CALL. Covering one said nothing about the other, which is now the third time
on this PR that a guard had more axes than I enumerated.
The test carries a control asserting a name that was never imported still
declines, so the fold is case-insensitivity rather than accepting anything.
Note on scope: an initial version of the test also asserted `Format`, which
is absent from the import map and fails at the earlier `call_name not in
import_map` check -- a different layer, and not the reported defect. Narrowed
to the two spellings the finding is actually about rather than leaving an
assertion that passes for the wrong reason.
A fully-qualified import is idiomatic PHP and runs identically to the
unqualified spelling -- verified by executing it under PHP 8.5, which prints
`B:x`. In PHP a `use` path is ALWAYS resolved from the global namespace, so
the backslash is emphasis rather than a different meaning.
The import processor dots the path, so the backslash became a LEADING
separator and the recorded target was `.App.Text.format`, which never matched
a declared `App.Text`. Confirmed against the processor rather than assumed:
use function \App\Text\format; -> {'format': '.App.Text.format'}
FOUND BY PROBING THE AXES MYSELF rather than waiting for a fourth review
round. The previous three findings on this PR -- import-path casing, binding
kind, call-site casing -- each arrived as a review P1 after I fixed the one
before it, so I enumerated the remaining axes and exercised them directly.
Two other axes probed and found already correct, so no change was made:
`use function X as Y` resolves through the rename, and a METHOD target
declines (a `use function` import names a free function).
The test carries a control asserting the unqualified spelling still resolves,
so the strip is a normalisation rather than something that only works when a
backslash is present.

The previous fix folded `_is_php_function_import` but left the exact-case
`call_name not in import_map` check IN FRONT of it, so a differently-cased
call never reached the gate at all.
Confirmed against the import processor rather than assumed:
use function App\Text\format; -> import_mapping keys: ['format']
php_function_imports: {'format'}
Production keys the map by the DECLARATION spelling, so a call written
`FORMAT()` misses at the first lookup and returns None before any folding.
MY TEST HID THIS, and it is shape 4 from my own taxonomy. The fixture seeded
BOTH spellings into the import map -- a state production cannot produce -- so
the assertion passed against an unreachable condition and said nothing about
the real path. Narrowing the test earlier to "two spellings" was the wrong
call: I treated the failing third case as a different layer when it was the
layer that mattered.
The fixture is now production-shaped (declaration spelling only) and covers
`format`, `FORMAT` and `Format`.
`_php_import_key` returns None unless EXACTLY ONE key folds to the call name.
Two keys differing only in case cannot both be intended, and PHP rejects the
duplicate `use` at compile time, so declining is correct rather than
cautious; the trie fallback still applies.
Found by mutation: dropping `len(matches) == 1` from `_php_import_key` left all 14 other tests passing, because no fixture had two import keys folding to the same name. Picking `matches[0]` would bind to whichever key iteration reached first -- an arbitrary binding, the defect this change exists to remove.

the
claimed
vitali87#1185 stage 1 made this comment false. It says cgr "does not track the `namespace` declaration", which stopped being true when vitali87#1484 merged -- `php_module_namespaces` records it and `_php_target_for_namespace_import` binds through it. The comment sits in `_is_external_import`, a different path from the one the fix touched, so it survived the change and now asserts the opposite of the code a few hundred lines away. A comment contradicting its own module is worse than no comment: it is the artifact a reader trusts when deciding whether the capability exists. Narrowed rather than deleted, because a real gap remains and is worth naming: a target whose namespace NO indexed module declares is still indistinguishable from a first-party one the resolver could not place, and both defer to the trie. Verified rather than reasoned: declared namespace (App.Text) -> ('Function', 'proj.text.format') UNdeclared namespace (Vendor) -> None (defers to the trie)
The ingestor upserts with `SET n += row.props` (cypher_queries.py:317), which MERGES rather than replaces. A key omitted on re-ingest keeps its previous value, so a document that dropped its front-matter kept the old metadata bound to its node -- the graph asserting a declaration the file no longer makes. Omission cannot express "this document has no front-matter". It can only fail to contradict whatever was there before. An empty list overwrites. MY TEST ENCODED THE WRONG CONTRACT. `test_a_document_without_front_matter_ gains_no_properties` asserted the property should be absent entirely, which reads correctly against a single ingest and leaves the re-ingest path broken -- exactly where the defect lives. Rewritten to assert the empty list. Added the re-ingest regression: index with `purpose: planning`, drop the block, re-index, assert the second emission carries `[]`. Asserting the empty list rather than merely "changed", since "changed" is also satisfied by writing some other wrong value. Same class as the PHP re-index defect on #1484, which my alternative panel caught there and which no fixture here would have reached: neither indexes the same file twice.

CGR qualifies PHP by file path and ignored the
namespacedeclaration, so ause function App\Text\formatimport could never match the registeredproject.text.format. The miss fell through to the simple-name trie, which binds to whichever same-named function it reaches first:A wrong edge rather than a missing one. The graph gained a relationship the source never expressed, and nothing downstream could tell — a missing edge is visibly absent, a wrong edge is silently confident.

LIMITATION:comment (call_resolver.py).Why not fold namespaces into qualified names
That would rewrite the identity of every existing PHP node in the graph, turning a resolution fix into a graph migration — and identity changes break incremental update, dead-code reachability, and every stored reference at once. PSR-4 also makes namespace and directory independent, so the qn could not be derived from the path even in principle.
Instead the declaration goes into a side map (
php_module_namespaces, module qn → dotted namespace) consulted at import resolution: split the target into namespace and symbol, find the module declaring that namespace, look the symbol up there. Blast radius stays at the resolution step.Refusing to guess
_php_target_for_namespace_importreturnsNonewhenever the answer is not unique — no module declares the namespace, or several do and more than one defines the symbol. The trie fallback then applies exactly as before, so this can only replace an arbitrary binding with a determined one, never introduce a new arbitrary one.Only top-level declarations are recorded, and the unnamed
namespace { }global block is skipped: binding it to""would match the namespace part of every unqualified import target.Verification
Five alternative implementations. Two initially passed and are now covered:
The re-index gap is the one worth naming: no test parsed the same module twice, so incremental re-index — the normal path in a running cgr — was untested. Editing a file's
namespacewould have left both the old and new bound forever.The empty-namespace alternative I investigated rather than "fixed". Removing either guard alone changes nothing because two guards enforce it redundantly; removing both makes the test fail. The behaviour is covered and the guards are defence-in-depth, so adding a test there would have produced a green assertion that cannot distinguish the implementations.
