Root cause

_resolve_import Strategy 2 (parsers/python/call_graph_builder.py) bound an imported function to a file whose dotted module path string-endswith the imported module (in either direction). That crosses component boundaries: from utils import helper matched extra_utils.py:helper because 'extra_utils'.endswith('utils'), and from auth import login matched extra_auth.py:login. No Python module layout produces those — they are false call-graph edges to the wrong module, and they inflate the reachable set with units that are never really called.

Fix

Match by dotted components, in either direction:

• the imported module is a component-suffix of the file path — a repo-root prefix on the file (src/pkg/auth.py for from pkg.auth import ...); or
• the file path is a component-suffix of the imported module — the repo-IS-the-package self-import (auth.py == myapp/auth.py recorded shallow via relative_to(repo_path), for from myapp.auth import ...).

Both are real layouts and are kept. Only the substring-crossing matches are dropped. Relative/bare imports (from . import x, no module) keep the prior name-only behavior.

Reachability / recall safety

An adversarial review caught that an earlier forward-only version dropped the reverse direction (repo-is-package self-imports) — a recall regression. Because the reachability filter keeps only reachable units, a dropped real edge silently removes attack surface. So an edge that could be real — from pkg.auth import login to a top-level auth.py, which is structurally identical to a self-import and indistinguishable from the data — is kept, not forbidden. Net: strictly fewer false edges than master, never fewer real ones.

Regression test

tests/parsers/python/test_call_graph_import_resolution.py — RED→GREEN:

• 2 precision drops: substring-crossing extra_utils/utils, extra_auth/auth.
• 6 recall guards: exact package path, repo-root prefix, top-level, repo-is-package self-import, nested reverse-prefix, relative import.

Full Python suite: 12 passed.

Compatibility

None. Resolution only; the change is strictly more precise on false edges and recall-preserving on real ones.

Coordination with open PRs

This edits the _resolve_import Strategy-2 block in parsers/python/call_graph_builder.py, which #72 also reworks (it adds a seen param for __init__.py re-exports) and #112 also touches. Neither fixes this bug — both still carry the bare module_path.endswith(expected_module) or expected_module.endswith(module_path). Expect a merge conflict in that block; happy to rebase onto whichever of #72/#112 lands first.
