The buildTree function creates a value copy of the item from the map (line 570), but this means modifications to item.DependentItems won't be reflected in the original map entry. Since the function is recursive and builds a tree, this is actually correct behavior - each level returns a new copy with its dependents attached. However, there's a potential issue: if a dependent item has a master that doesn't exist in the map, the function will panic with a nil pointer dereference when accessing *agentItemsMap[key]. The validation at lines 554-560 logs a warning but doesn't prevent the panic.

Memory allocation inefficiency. The code creates a new map with capacity len(src)+1 but then only copies len(src) items. The +1 suggests space for the "action" tag, but that tag is added by the caller after this function returns. Either remove the +1 or add a capacity parameter to make the function more flexible.

Duplicate statement detected. The line resultChan <- collectionResult appears twice consecutively, which will send the same result to the channel twice. This will cause duplicate metrics to be collected for dependent items. Remove one of the duplicate lines.

Potential nil pointer dereference. The code dereferences agentItemsMap[key] without checking if the key exists in the map. If a child references a key that doesn't exist (e.g., circular dependency or orphaned item), this will panic. Add an existence check before dereferencing.

The error from preprocessing is checked but only logged in debug mode, then the function returns early without sending any result to the channel. This means dependent items with preprocessing errors will silently disappear from metrics. Consider sending an error result to the channel or at least logging at a higher level than debug.

Inconsistent variable naming: The parameter is named dependents but elsewhere in the codebase uses DependentItems. Consider renaming to dependentItems for consistency with the field name and other similar variables in the codebase.

Inconsistent naming: The parameter depTmpl mixes "dep" (abbreviation) with "Tmpl" (abbreviation for template), but this variable represents a dependent item, not a template. Consider renaming to depItem or dependentItem for clarity.

The default value in the comment doesn't match the code. The comment states "默认删除时间 30d" (default deletion time 30d), but the code uses 7*24*time.Hour which is 7 days, not 30 days. Either update the comment to say "7d" or change the code to use 30 days if that's the intended default.

Potential stack overflow risk. The buildTree function is recursive and doesn't have any protection against circular dependencies. If the dependency graph contains a cycle (A depends on B, B depends on A), this will cause infinite recursion and a stack overflow. Add cycle detection or a visited set to prevent this.

Potential stack overflow risk. Similar to the issue in discovery.go, this recursive buildTree function doesn't have protection against circular dependencies. If there's a cycle in the dependency graph, this will cause infinite recursion and a stack overflow. Add cycle detection or a visited set to prevent this.

The maintenance loop ticker is hardcoded to 1 minute. Consider making this configurable or at least defining it as a constant at the package level. This would improve maintainability and allow for easier testing and tuning of the maintenance frequency.

The inline comments in this section are in Chinese (lines 715-725, 731-732). While the code functionality is clear, consider using English for inline comments to maintain consistency with the rest of the codebase and improve accessibility for all contributors. The comment on line 1001 should also be updated to English for consistency.

Potential nil pointer dereference. The code dereferences localMap[key] without checking if the key exists in the map. If the key is not found, this will panic. Consider adding a check to ensure the key exists before dereferencing.

Missing documentation for the added lifecycle fields. The new fields LifetimeType, EnabledLifetime, and EnabledLifetimeType lack comments explaining their purpose, valid values, and relationship to Zabbix 7.0+ LLD lifecycle management. Consider adding documentation comments to help future maintainers understand how these fields are used.

The new GetStats method lacks test coverage. This method performs aggregation logic across multiple collections (items, discovery rules, triggers, graphs) and should have tests to verify correct counting and proper handling of edge cases like empty templates or nil collections.

Missing validation for master item existence. The code validates that master items exist for dependent items but only logs a warning and continues processing. If a dependent item references a non-existent master, it will later cause a nil pointer dereference in the buildTree function. Consider either skipping the dependent item or ensuring proper error handling.

Inefficient slice rebuild. The code sets 'agentItemsList' to nil and then rebuilds it by iterating through all parsedTemplateItems again. This is unnecessary since you can reuse the existing agentItemsList and only rebuild the items that have dependents. Consider optimizing this to avoid the full rebuild.

The new ParseLLDLifetimes function lacks test coverage. Given that this function is responsible for parsing critical lifecycle configuration with multiple edge cases (NEVER, IMMEDIATELY, AFTER with durations, empty values, fallback logic), it would benefit from comprehensive unit tests to ensure correct behavior across all scenarios.

Incomplete error handling. When preprocessing fails for a dependent item, the function returns early without sending any error result through the channel. This means the caller won't be aware of the failure. Consider sending a CollectionResult with the error set before returning.

CollectInternalMetrics iterates over all discovered items with only a read lock, but the metrics collection could be resource-intensive with thousands of items, especially when creating and copying tags for each item. Consider implementing pagination, sampling, or batch processing to reduce the performance impact of this operation.

The validation logs a warning when a master item is missing but continues execution without preventing the dependent item from being added to the dependency map. This could lead to runtime errors when buildTree tries to access a non-existent master. Consider either filtering out these invalid dependents or adding nil checks in buildTree.

When an item transitions from disabled to enabled (wasDisabled is true), the TTL fields (DeleteTTL and DisableTTL) are not updated or reset. This means a recovered item may still have stale TTL values from when it was lost. Consider updating or clearing these TTL values when an item is recovered to avoid unexpected behavior.

Taking the address of a loop variable creates a common bug. The variable 'root' is reused across iterations, so all pointers will reference the same memory location. To fix this, create a copy of 'root' inside the loop before taking its address.

When master item collection fails, dependent items are silently skipped without any indication. Consider logging a message at debug level when dependent items are skipped due to master collection failure to aid in troubleshooting.
