Python's class-as-value idioms (return SomeClass, x = SomeClass, registry
dicts, classes passed as arguments) produced no references edges, so
callers/impact on a Django/DRF serializer missed the views that consume it.
Three gates dropped them:
- return_statement was never dispatched by PYTHON_SPEC (kernel mirrored)
- the extraction gate (definedHere) collected function/method names only
- resolution accepted function/method targets only (matchFunctionRef +
the function_ref import fast path)
Capture return_statement for Python (single expression; tuple returns not
descended), admit same-file CLASS names to the gate, and accept class
targets for Python bare identifiers — scoped to Python so the TS/JS KIND
FILTER contract is untouched. The docopt false-positive mechanism behind
the function-only rule (lowercase locals vs same-named methods) doesn't
transfer: methods stay excluded for bare ids, and the same-file/import
gate + unique-or-drop rules still apply.
Probed on django-rest-framework (~250 files): 559 new references→class
edges, 10/10 sampled genuine (serializer_class = AuthTokenSerializer, the
ModelSerializer field-mapping registry, aliases, ctor args, isinstance).
EXTRACTION_VERSION 24 → 25.

Python (codegraph-kernel/src/python.rs) and Go (src/go.rs) join the
native kernel, mirroring the wasm extractors bug-for-bug. Python:
decorated_definition docstrings/decorators (decorates refs only for
bare-identifier decorators — the call-kind quirk), function-in-class →
method, module-level assignments always extract as variable, from-import
per-name binding refs, self.x fn-ref candidates as bare names. Go:
receiver methods with Recv::name qualified names + contains edges to the
first earlier struct of that name, type_spec struct/interface
classification with embedding→extends and interface method nodes,
composite-literal instantiates keeping the package qualifier, top-level
var/const initializer walks attributed to the declared symbol (#693),
2-hop field chains (#1276), New().Method() re-encode (#645/#608), and
the GO_SPEC fn-ref layers.
Grammars: tree-sitter-python 0.23.6 + tree-sitter-go 0.23.4 crates, with
wasm vendored from the same tags (parser.c sha-matched) — both were
2023-era in tree-sitter-wasms.
Gates: extraction sweeps 100% (flask 83/83, django 3,035/3,038 +3
error-file deferrals, gin 99/99, prometheus 978/979 +1); full-init
dump-diffs byte-identical on flask (10,833 rows), gin (17,540), django
(360,794), and prometheus (213,758); torture fixtures enforced in npm
test. DEFAULT_ROUTED now covers typescript/tsx/javascript/jsx/java/
python/go. Full suite: 2,471 tests pass.
