Summary

nplusone now understands nested relation access: a loop inside another loop inherits the enclosing queryset's eager loading, so a fully prefetched inner loop is no longer flagged (#146), and a chain access like item.product.category.name suggests the full validated path (select_related("product__category")) instead of only the first hop (#145, item 2). Inheritance follows the helper call's actual argument. Prefetch-cache coverage is now decided per documented queryset operation chained on the related manager: any operation that rebuilds the queryset (filter, exclude, order_by, values, a chained prefetch_related(), and the rest Django documents) runs a new query per parent and keeps its finding; count/exists/contains still read the prefetched cache; and an operation invalidates coverage only when its receiver resolves to the relation's manager in the schema, so scalar suffix calls like item.product.category.metadata.get('label') no longer erase loaded prefixes.

Type of change

• Bug fix (non-breaking, restores expected behaviour)

Test plan

• cd cli && python -m pytest tests/test_nplusone_detector.py tests/test_nplusone_cross_function.py tests/test_nplusone_manager_cache.py -q — 534 passed, 79 subtests passed
• ruff check django_orm_lens/query_analyzer.py tests/test_nplusone_detector.py tests/test_nplusone_cross_function.py — clean
• mypy django_orm_lens/query_analyzer.py tests/test_nplusone_detector.py tests/test_nplusone_cross_function.py — clean
• New tests cover: the multi-hop suggestion, the exact nplusone still flags the inner loop after the outer queryset prefetches it #146 shape (full outer prefetch → empty findings), partial prefetch reporting only the unloaded hop, cached inverse FKs, Prefetch aliases, unpacking-loop shadowing, and the schema-less fallback. This round adds: helper-argument bindings (a helper called with a different receiver inherits nothing; non-Name, keyword-only and spread arguments inherit nothing), filtered reverse-manager chains (items.filter(...), items.all().filter(...)) staying uncovered, manager receivers behind an FK keeping their full relation path, and positional/later-call filter arguments keeping their accesses. This round adds: a property matrix classifying every documented Django 4.2/5.2 queryset operation (63 members, sync and async variants) as prefetch-cache-served or bypassing, per verified clone/cache behavior in Django's source; receiver-resolution controls keeping scalar/unknown-suffix and single-valued-receiver calls from invalidating loaded prefixes; and the nested-loop control now expecting both outer and inner findings when the inner chain re-declares prefetch_related(), which clones and drops the cached results. The full suite runs in CI.

Checklist

• I ran the full test suite locally (cd cli && pytest -q for Python, npm test for TypeScript) and it is green
• I added or updated tests that cover the change (bugfixes should get a regression test)
• If the change is user-facing I updated the CHANGELOG under ## [Unreleased]
• If this change touches the MCP tool contract (new tool, new arg, new error code) I updated the tool description in mcp_server.py and the relevant tests in test_mcp_server.py
• If this is a breaking change I called it out under ## Summary and suggested a migration path

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved detection of nested N+1 queries when eager loading is configured. Suggestions account for already-loaded portions of relation paths and continue to flag relations that remain unloaded.
  • Improved analysis of related-manager queries and reverse relationships, including operations that bypass the prefetch cache and filtered queries that cannot use it.
  • Extended detection across helper functions that return querysets, including nested loops and varied argument styles.
  • Corrected handling of empty prefetch configurations so they no longer suppress relation findings.

📝 Walkthrough

The N+1 scanner now retains full relation paths and schema metadata. It tracks eager-loading coverage across nested loops and related querysets. When a validated access path is only partly loaded, findings report the remaining unloaded suffix.

Changes: Nested N+1 detection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Relation metadata and full paths cli/django_orm_lens/query_analyzer.py, cli/tests/test_nplusone_detector.py	Schema handling retains relation targets and inverse fields. Eager-loading lookups and access collection retain nested relation paths and manager operations. Tests cover schema metadata and path matching.
Nested loop coverage and helper binding cli/django_orm_lens/query_analyzer.py, cli/tests/test_nplusone_cross_function.py, cli/tests/test_nplusone_detector.py	The scanner tracks loop context, binds helper queryset parameters at call sites, and carries eligible eager-loading paths into related querysets. Tests exercise helper receiver binding, nested loops, and argument forms.
Cache coverage and unloaded-path findings cli/django_orm_lens/query_analyzer.py, cli/tests/test_nplusone_detector.py, cli/tests/test_nplusone_manager_cache.py, CHANGELOG.md	The scanner applies manager-operation cache rules and validates relation hops. Findings report unloaded suffixes. Tests cover manager cache behavior, partial coverage, reverse managers, and cases that do not inherit coverage. The changelog records the fix.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #146 requires no inner-loop finding when the outer queryset loads the iterated relation and accessed chain. NPlusOneScanner._inherited_paths projects enclosing eager-loading paths onto the related queryset, and _loaded_prefix checks multi-hop coverage. The reported tests cover the exact prefetch_related("items__product__category") case and partial coverage.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain within the stated nplusone relation-analysis scope. Full relation-path suggestions, helper binding, manager-cache classification, receiver resolution, schema metadata, and regression tests support nested eager-loading analysis or the referenced relation-path behavior. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 18.52% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 54 functions across 4 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

- Around line 1275-1305: Update `_inherited_paths` to receive and use the
helper’s formal-to-actual argument binding when matching the returned receiver
to an enclosing loop target. Inherit eager paths only when that receiver
resolves to the actual loop variable; otherwise, return no inherited paths.

Review comments at @cli/tests/test_nplusone_detector.py:
- Around line 316-331: Update the assertions in the test using `manager_call` so
filtered manager variants expect an outer-loop finding even when eager loading
is enabled; keep the empty expectation only for bare `all()` with eager loading.
Also update the scanner’s access collection and prefetch check so
reverse-manager chains containing `filter` are not treated as cache-covered,
including `all().filter(...)`.

Heads-up: this branch lives in an organization-owned fork, and GitHub doesn't let maintainers push to those. If anything needs changing, just say so here and I'll make the change on this branch right away.

[FROWNINGdev]

Merged, thank you @Nitjsefnie. I ran it together with #167 on the examples from #145 and #146: the fully prefetched inner loop is now quiet and the chain suggests select_related("product__category"). It ships in py-1.13.6.

[Nitjsefnie]

Thanks for merging. Some context on how this PR happened: it came out of spare weekly AI-coding-subscription usage. I built Overflow (free, MIT, no money involved) so maintainers can price issues for people with spare usage to pick up, and credit for merged work pays for your own issues later: https://github.com/Nitjsefnie/Overflow. This and any future PRs don't depend on any of that, and nothing changes whether you look at it or not. If you'd like more people with spare usage picking up your issues, registering a public repo is one form. No reply needed, and I won't bring it up again.
