Research direction

Start at src/apm_cli/commands/uninstall/engine.py:633-670 and trace the per-package loop reached by apm uninstall. Replace the repeated membership check against packages_to_remove with the proposed companion set of seen dependency identities. Done means the membership check uses the set while packages_to_remove retains its current behavior and ordering.

Performance Scan - 2026-10-01

Automated scan of src/apm_cli/ for algorithmic performance anti-patterns.
1 finding(s) identified (low priority).

Findings
[B] Linear scan inside a loop -- src/apm_cli/commands/uninstall/engine.py:633-670
  • Current: O(n*m) -- if matched_dep not in packages_to_remove on a list, inside the per-package loop
  • Proposed: O(n) with a companion set of seen keys
  • Fix: Track a seen set of matched dependency identities next to packages_to_remove and test membership against it. Low priority: n is the number of CLI args to apm uninstall, so it is small in practice.
Scan coverage
  • src/apm_cli/ (486 files scanned)
  • Patterns checked: A (quadratic loops), B (linear scan in loop),
    C (unconditional expensive ops), D (redundant config parsing),
    E (heavy top-level imports), F (sequential independent I/O)
