fix(calls): attribute TS/JS, Java and C# field initializers to the constructor - #3526
Instance field initializers run when an object is constructed, but the call pass attributed their CALLS/INSTANTIATES edges to the file's Module. This change attributes them to the enclosing class's constructor instead, in TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, and C#:
A new field-initializer pass in the class walk (_process_field_initializers_in_class) collects calls from each instance field's initializer VALUE only, so decorator arguments, computed keys, and calls inside nested functions (an arrow-valued field keeps its own Method caller) are not moved. Static initializers are skipped here and stay module-attributed, as before.
The target is the single explicit constructor, or the single non-delegating sink of an overloaded constructor chain: a this()-chained constructor performs none of the field initializations (JLS 12.5 steps 2-4; C# ECMA-334 17.10.2), so the initializers run exactly once, in the sink, however long the chain. Overloads with no single sink (independent overloads, or a delegation cycle) fall back to the class node, and fanning one source site out over every overload would duplicate it. (An earlier revision fell back to the class node for all overloads; that was reversed: the delegation rules above prove a canonical owner for chains, and the sink rule was restored.)
The attributed calls are removed from the module pass, so no Module edge remains alongside the constructor/class edge. C# bare calls in initializers now resolve in the enclosing class scope (previously they produced no edge at all), including when the caller is the class node itself: the C# inference engine's enclosing-type scope peeling now treats a caller that IS a registered type as its own containing class.
RELATIONSHIP_SCHEMAS now documents Class as a CALLS/REFERENCES/INSTANTIATES source (the class-node fallback), and docs/architecture/graph-schema.md is updated to match.
New regression tests in codebase_rag/tests/test_field_initializer_class_attribution.py, written first and confirmed failing on upstream/main (the original 8 failed on main; the tests added with the overload-rule revision and the review fixes also fail on main), passing (23 passed) with the fix: TS/JS, Java, and C# constructor attribution; TS, Java, and C# no-constructor class-node attribution; Java and C# overload-chain sink attribution with exactly one edge to the sink and none from delegating overloads; independent overloads, 3-chains, super()/base()-only sinks, and delegation cycles covered, the no-sink cases falling back to the class node; nested generic twins attributing to their own class nodes; Java inner-class attribution; TS overload signatures with one implementation using the constructor; TS arrow-field body staying with its Method node; static initializers staying module-attributed in TS and Java; two initializers calling the same method producing two distinct source-site (line/col) edges with no duplicated edge; C# generic classes with arity twins (including generic-only twins); Java/C# lambda and anonymous-method bodies excluded from initializer attribution; C# static constructors excluded from initializer ownership; TS self-reference (this.make()) and self-instantiation (new Svc()).
NestJS verification at the issue's commit (nestjs/nest @ 2731c18, packages/, 983 files, capture-ingestor index, deduplicated edge sets, 2x2 run stability): 58 INSTANTIATES edges move from Module to constructor/Class sources (47 Method + 11 Class, matching the issue's 58 exactly) and 32 CALLS edges move the same way (27 Method + 5 Class; the issue reported 34, the stable set difference is 32). 24 REFERENCES edges are moved or de-duplicated. Every moved edge lands on a class/constructor in the same file as the removed Module edge; no edge content is lost (4 apparent REFERENCES losses are Module duplicates whose constructor-sourced copy exists in both the before and after graphs). Raw edge multisets vary between identical runs (duplicate-batch counts), so the comparison uses deduplicated sets.
Focused suites (no full-suite run in this environment): test_call_processor* + integration + C# constructor + docs tests 173 passed; C# + Java + call-processor + docs suites 1140 passed, 86 skipped; TS/JS suites 1561 passed, 1 skipped.

Walkthrough
Instance-field initializer calls in JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, and C# are attributed to an eligible instance constructor when available, or to the class. Attributed calls are excluded from module-level processing. Graph relationship schemas now permit classes as sources.
Changes: Instance Field Initializer Attribution
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Class relationship and type lookup support codebase_rag/types_defs.py, docs/architecture/graph-schema.md, codebase_rag/parsers/csharp/type_inference.py, codebase_rag/parsers/csharp/utils.py, codebase_rag/constants/ast_csharp.py, codebase_rag/constants/ast_java.py
The CALLS, REFERENCES, and INSTANTIATES source schemas now include classes. C# type lookup recognizes registered types and builds namespace- and arity-qualified paths. AST constants identify constructor initializers and anonymous methods.
Class processing finds eligible instance-field initializer calls and attributes them to a sole eligible constructor or the class. It excludes static fields and calls owned by nested functions or classes, except when a call contains the nested node. Attributed calls are removed from module-level processing.
Tests cover constructor and class attribution across TypeScript, Java, and C#. Cases include static fields, constructor delegation, nested and generic classes, distinct source sites, self-references, and deferred callable bodies.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#3339] Requirement group: instance field initializer calls and instantiations must attribute to the explicit constructor, or to the class node when no constructor exists, for TS/JS, Java, and C#. The partial call_processor.py diff at head confirms this. _process_field_initializers_in_class walks each non-static instance field and attributes calls from the initializer value to the target from _field_initializer_target. That target is the single constructor, the single non-delegating sink of an overloaded chain, or the class node otherwise. _is_instance_field_node and the static-field exclusion keep static initializers module-attributed. Attributed start bytes are subtracted from _module_level_calls, so no Module edge remains for them. Requirement group: C# bare calls in initializers must resolve. The type_inference.py change adds class-scope resolution for a caller that is a registered type (summary). Requirement group: decorators, computed keys, and other definition-time expressions keep their attribution. The value-only walk and the deferred-node exclusions (lambda and anonymous-method bodies) implement this (diff). Requirement group: test coverage for the requested cases. test_field_initializer_class_attribution.py adds about 27 tests covering explicit constructors, no-constructor class nodes, static fields, this.make() and self-instantiation, and C# bare calls. The author reports 23 passing. Test results are author-reported and were not re-run here. Not verified: the remainder of call_processor.py, type_inference.py, and the C# utils change, which were covered by summary only. The NestJS edge counts (58 INSTANTIATES, 32 CALLS) are author-reported and differ from the issue's 34 CALLS. The issue's count is a reporting figure, not a coding requirement, so this does not fail the assessment.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The production changes in call_processor.py serve [#3339]: field-initializer attribution, removal of attributed calls from the module pass, and the constructor sink rule. The type_inference.py change supports the C# bare-call requirement of [#3339]. The csharp utils arity_qualified_path change and the _registered_class_qn helper keep class-node edges on the registered class node. Without them, C# class-node targets would dangle, so they support the attribution requirement. The qualified-name rules cite #1629 and #2579. Both are edge-landing correctness rules for the same attribution, not separate features. types_defs.py and graph-schema.md add Class as a valid CALLS, REFERENCES, and INSTANTIATES source. This is required for the class-node fallback. The new AST constants in ast_csharp.py and ast_java.py name node types used by the new pass. The test file covers only the linked behavior. No unrelated critical, major, or high-severity change is evident in the reviewed evidence.

Generic class calls cross owners
The rebuilt name loses C# generic-name distinctions. For namespace N { class C {} class C<T> { object f = Factory.Make(); } }, the definition pass registers the generic class with the segment C`1, but this helper builds module.N.C. That name exists, so the registry check accepts the nongeneric class as the caller. The module edge is then removed, leaving the initializer attached only to the wrong class.
Use the definition pass's name builder for the class and its enclosing types.

Already fixed in the follow-up already pushed before this review round. The rebuilt qualified name now uses the definition pass arity spelling, so a generic twin lands on its own node instead of the non-generic twin, and generic-only twins resolve instead of dangling. Covered by a test asserting all four twin sources distinctly, plus a check that two instantiations of the same generic with different type arguments stay with the enclosing constructor. CI has not run yet: the workflows are still awaiting maintainer approval, so there is no CI result to report.

Completing my earlier reply in this thread: the follow-up I mentioned only qualified the leaf segment. Enclosing generic segments are now qualified too, so a nested generic twin lands on its own class node instead of sharing the non-generic twin's edge. Covered by a new test with nested generic twins. The rest of that reply stands.

Exclude static constructors from field-initializer candidates.

Exclude static constructors from field-initializer candidates.
A C# static constructor is represented as constructor_declaration and is currently selected by _class_constructor_nodes. Therefore, a class with only a static constructor can attribute instance-field initializer calls to that static constructor. When both static and instance constructors exist, the static constructor can also affect sink selection and cause attribution to fall back to the class node. Filter out constructors with the static modifier. This preserves attribution to instance constructors.

Re: the CodeRabbit follow-up asking to exclude static constructors from field-initializer candidates. Fixed the same way: static constructors are filtered out of the candidates, so instance initializers go to the instance constructor (or the class node when a class has only a static constructor), and static field initializers stay module-attributed. Covered by a new test that failed before the fix and passes after. CI has not run yet: the workflows are still awaiting maintainer approval, so there is no CI result to report.

Include enclosing C# generic arity in the registered class name.
If Outer<T> has a non-generic twin and contains Inner, the definition pass registers Outer1.Inner. This candidate rebuilds only Inner’s arity, then falls back to a structural name without Outer1. An initializer in Inner consequently emits edges from a class node that does not exist. Build the candidate with the same scope-name logic as the definition pass before filtering its calls from Module attribution. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Update candidate construction around `qualified.rpartition(cs.SEPARATOR_DOT)` to
use the definition pass’s scope-name logic, including enclosing C# generic arity
such as `Outer`1` when registering a nested class like `Inner`. Apply this
before filtering the candidate’s calls from Module attribution so the emitted
edges use the registered class name.
Prevent parallel Module references for initializer object literals.
4450-4450: Major · Data Integrity & Integration · Heavy lift
Prevent parallel Module references for initializer object literals.
For options = configure({ onError: handler }), the existing module reference walk descends into the class field and emits Module REFERENCES handler. The new _ingest_function_calls walk emits a second reference from the constructor or class. A dead class can therefore still make handler appear reachable through the Module. Restrict the module reference walk for eligible initializer values when their references move to the field caller. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Restrict the existing Module reference walk for eligible initializer object
literals whose references are now attributed by _ingest_function_calls to the
field caller. Ensure it does not emit parallel Module references such as
handler, while preserving the existing Module walk for other initializer values.
Process Java enum members before selecting initializer fields.

Process Java enum members before selecting initializer fields.
For a Java enum, enum_body_declarations contains the instance fields. The direct body_node.children walk skips every such initializer, so its calls remain attributed to the Module. _class_constructor_nodes also misses constructors inside that wrapper. Flatten enum members for both walks so the initializer reaches its owning constructor or class. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Update the Java enum member traversal around the body_node.children loop to
flatten enum_body_declarations before selecting instance-field initializers, and
apply the same traversal in _class_constructor_nodes. Ensure enum field
initializer calls are associated with their owning constructor or class rather
than the Module.

Follow-up pushed on this branch: the constructor rule is restored to the single non-delegating sink. One constructor owns the initializers; with several overloads, the one constructor that does not delegate via this() owns them, and the class node owns them only when there is no single sink. That matches how field initializers actually run (JLS 12.5 for Java, ECMA-334 17.10.2 for C#), and the earlier class-node-for-all-overloads revision is reverted. The nested-generic fix, the lambda and static-constructor exclusions, and a fix for delegation hidden behind a leading comment in Java are in the same push; the NestJS edge totals are unchanged. Tests for the attribution suite pass. The workflows still await maintainer approval, so there is no CI result yet.

Summary
Instance field initializers run when an object is constructed, but the call pass attributed their
CALLS/INSTANTIATESedges to the file'sModule. This change attributes them to the enclosing class's constructor instead, in TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, and C#:_process_field_initializers_in_class) collects calls from each instance field's initializer VALUE only, so decorator arguments, computed keys, and calls inside nested functions (an arrow-valued field keeps its own Method caller) are not moved. Static initializers are skipped here and stay module-attributed, as before.this()-chained constructor performs none of the field initializations (JLS 12.5 steps 2-4; C# ECMA-334 17.10.2), so the initializers run exactly once, in the sink, however long the chain. Overloads with no single sink (independent overloads, or a delegation cycle) fall back to the class node, and fanning one source site out over every overload would duplicate it. (An earlier revision fell back to the class node for all overloads; that was reversed: the delegation rules above prove a canonical owner for chains, and the sink rule was restored.)csharp_utils.arity_qualified_path, which spells every enclosing type segment's arity as the definition pass registers it, registry-verified, because the structural build drops the namespace and would dangle the class-node edge; when the directory already spells the namespace the registered qn drops it (issue C# type qualified names repeat the namespace: 234 of 265 in serilog, 0 of 164 in PHP #1629), so the structural qn is kept. The own name carries its CLR arity spelling when the file declares the name at another arity too (issue [Bug]: C#FooandFoo<T>are one name with an@linevariant: every construction fans out to both (fresh) or binds to the non-generic one (incremental); target-typednew()as an argument is not linked #2579), so a generic twin's edge lands on its own node, not the non-generic twin's.RELATIONSHIP_SCHEMASnow documentsClassas aCALLS/REFERENCES/INSTANTIATESsource (the class-node fallback), anddocs/architecture/graph-schema.mdis updated to match.Fixes #3339
