The `instanceFieldStep` disjunct of `TypeTrackingInput::levelStepCall`
that was added in 7.2.0 uses `classInstanceTracker(cls)` -- which is
itself a type-tracker -- inside `levelStepCall`. That creates a
structural mutual recursion between the main type-tracker fixpoint and
`classInstanceTracker`, causing the type-tracker delta to blow up to
~100M tuples per iteration on some OOP-heavy Python codebases.
Verified on the python/mypy database: SSRF query wall time goes from
~12s before the offending commit to >40 minutes after it.
This hotfix temporarily drops the `instanceFieldStep` disjunct and
keeps only `inheritedFieldStep`, which does not pull on the call
graph and is well-behaved (verified at ~12s on mypy). The
`instanceFieldStep` helper predicate itself is kept in place, and
the `levelStepCall` body has a commented-out call to it so the
change is trivial to re-enable once the recursion issue is properly
addressed.
Follow-up to the getAFlowNode deprecation in the same PR: same AST→legacy-CFG
bridge pattern. The 11 internal call sites (across objects/, types/,
frameworks/, and TypeTrackingImpl) are rewritten to bind a `Return ret`
explicitly, then constrain via `ret.getScope() = f and n.getNode() = ret.getValue()`.
The predicate itself is preserved with a deprecation note so external
users do not experience churn.
Semantic noop.

Preparatory refactor for the shared-CFG dataflow migration.
Deprecates the AstNode.getAFlowNode() cached predicate on the public
Python QL API and rewrites all ~140 internal callers across lib/, src/,
test/, and tools/ from `expr.getAFlowNode() = cfgNode` to
`cfgNode.getNode() = expr`, using ControlFlowNode.getNode() which
already exists in Flow.qll.
The predicate itself is preserved (with a deprecation note pointing at
the new pattern) so external users do not experience churn — they can
migrate at their own pace and the AST/CFG hierarchies still get the
intended untangling once the deprecation eventually elapses.
Semantic noop verified by:
- All 361 lib/ + src/ queries compile clean.
- All 122 ControlFlow + PointsTo library-tests pass.
- All 64 dataflow library-tests pass.
- All 113 Variables/Exceptions/Expressions/Statements/Functions/Imports/
Security/CWE-798/ModificationOfParameterWithDefault query-tests pass.

The new-dataflow ImportResolution module only used
semmle.python.essa.SsaDefinitions for the 5-line helper predicate
SsaSource::init_module_submodule_defn. Inline it locally and drop the
dependency on legacy SsaDefinitions. This is the only remaining direct
import of semmle.python.essa.* in the new dataflow stack, so dropping
it makes the layering cleaner.
Semantic noop on the current SSA: SsaSourceVariable.getName() and
GlobalVariable.getId() both project the same DB column
(variable(_,_,result)), and the old call's 'init.getEntryNode() = f'
join was just constraining init = package via Scope.getEntryNode()'s
functional uniqueness. RA dump of accesses.ql confirms only the
expected predicate-rename shuffle; all 70 dataflow + ApiGraphs library
tests pass.
This factors out commit 8cab5a20f2 from the larger shared-CFG
migration #21925.

The internal predicates that identify `@staticmethod`, `@classmethod` and
`@property` decorators previously required the decorator's `NameNode` to
satisfy `isGlobal()` (i.e. no SSA def reaches the decorator's name use).
That filter was correct but unnecessarily indirect: these three names
are builtins, and even when a class body redefines one, the class body
has not started executing at the decorator position, so Python uses the
builtin.
Match the decorator's AST `Name` directly instead, dropping the CFG/SSA
detour. The slight semantic change — `isGlobal()` would have rejected
module-level shadowing of these builtins — is negligible in practice
and explicitly documented in the change note.
`hasContextmanagerDecorator` and `hasOverloadDecorator` keep the
`NameNode.isGlobal()` check because their target names (`contextmanager`,
`overload`) are imported, not builtin, and local shadowing is a real
concern.

- remove `tupleStoreStep` and `dictStoreStep` from `containerStep`
These are imprecise compared to the content being precise.
- add implicit reads to recover taint at sinks
- add implicit read steps for decoders
to supplement the `AdditionalTaintStep`
that now only covers when the full container is tainted.
For module-level metaclass declarations, we now also check that the
right hand side in a `__metaclass__ = type` assignment is in fact the
built-in `type`.
These could arguably be moved to `Class` itself, but for now I'm
choosing to limit the changes to the `DuckTyping` module (until we
decide on a proper API).
This module (which for convenience currently resides inside
`DataFlowDispatch`, but this may change later) contains convenience
predicates for bridging the gap between the data-flow layer and the old
points-to analysis.
Adds `hasOverloadDecorator` as a predicate on functions. It looks for
decorators called `overload` or `something.overload` (usually
`typing.overload` or `t.overload`). These are then filtered out in the
predicates that (approximate) resolving methods according to the MRO.
As the test introduced in the previous commit shows, this removes the
spurious resolutions we had before.
