| build system was silently hanging during compilation instead of failing fast when circular dependencies existed. The dependency resolver was getting stuck in infinite loops rather than detecting cycles. | |
| ### What Happened: | |
| ```javascript | |
| // These dependencies created a cycle: | |
| const moduleDeps = [ | |
| "UserService>OrderService", | |
| "OrderService>PaymentService", | |
| "PaymentService>UserService" // Creates cycle! | |
| ]; | |
| // Build system kept trying to resolve, never terminating | |
| // Developers waited 20+ minutes before killing builds | |
| ``` | |
| ### Your Discovery Process: | |
| 1. **Symptom**: Builds randomly hanging on certain feature branches | |
| 2. **Investigation**: Added logging to dependency resolution | |
| 3. **Root Cause**: Cycle detection was missing from the topological sort | |
| 4. **Impact**: 5+ developers losing hours daily to hung builds | |
| ### The Fix: | |
| ```javascript | |
| function detectCycle(graph) { | |
| // Your solution: DFS with color marking | |
| // White (0) = unvisited, Gray (1) = processing, Black (2) = done | |
| if (dfs(node) && color[neighbor] === 1) { | |
| throw new Error(`Circular dependency detected: ${cyclePath}`); | |
| } | |
| } |
