AttributeError: 'RustworkxCodeGraph' object has no attribute 'index_to_node_id' - Graph Method Stability - All graph analysis methods now work correctly without crashes
- MCP Tool Reliability - Tools no longer hang or timeout due to internal crashes
- Complete Architecture Migration - Finished migration from index mapping dictionaries to direct graph storage
find_bridges()- Fixedself.index_to_node_id.get(edge[0])→self.graph[edge[0]]calculate_graph_distance_matrix()- Fixed index mapping loops to use direct graph iterationcalculate_bellman_ford_path_lengths()- Fixed index lookups to useself.graph[index]calculate_weighted_shortest_paths()- Fixedself.node_id_to_index.get()→getattr(node, '_rustworkx_index')find_node_layers()- Fixed index mapping to use proper node lookup patternfrom_json()- Completely rewrote to use direct graph storage without index dictionaries
