In March 2026, delivered a major performance improvement for lineage computation in tobymao/sqlglot by introducing memoization for Common Table Expressions (CTEs) and refactoring traversal to an iterative DFS. This work prevents exponential growth in processing time when CTEs are shared across DAG branches, improving scalability for large graphs. Key changes include a memoization cache keyed by (column, scope, context params), a DAG-safe iterative DFS (Node.walk) with a visited set, and a design that separates memoization from the copy parameter via explicit memoize/read_only controls. Memoization remains internal by default, with copy=True preserving node independence while disabling caching, and copy=False enabling shared caching with mutability safety controlled by read_only. The change required API-safe adjustments and test updates. Committed as part of #7207 (commit 7df5bd487d942eeee3f6cf1ab26777405ce90b94), including performance tests and style fixes to ensure reliability and maintainability.
