 ## 0.9.12 (unreleased)
 
+- Fix: files whose extractor bailed out for a missing optional dependency no longer vanish without a trace (#1745, thanks @rithyKabir). `.sql` files (and other extra-gated languages) have a dispatch entry, so the #1689 no-extractor warning can't fire, and `extract_sql` returns an error result when `tree-sitter-sql` is absent, so the #1666 zero-node warning skips it too — the graph built "successfully" while an entire SQL corpus contributed nothing. `extract()` now surfaces these grouped by extension, naming the extra that restores the language (e.g. `pip install "graphifyy[sql]"`).
+
 - Fix: `build_from_json` is deterministic across process runs again (#1753, thanks @erasmust-dotcom). The ghost-node merge iterated `set(G.nodes())`, so which node survived a `(basename, label)` collision depended on CPython's per-process string-hash seed — rebuilding the same extraction JSON in a fresh process could silently pick a different canonical id (breaking the cluster→relabel workflow with a `KeyError` on an id that vanished). The Pass 1/Pass 2 loops now iterate in sorted order. Additionally, two non-AST (semantic) nodes sharing a key but from *different* files are now treated as distinct concepts and both survive (mirroring the AST/AST ambiguity guard #1257) instead of one arbitrarily merging away; a genuine same-file duplicate still collapses.
 
 - Fix: a Java field/parameter/return-type reference to a class whose simple name is shared by two modules no longer dangles on a sourceless phantom node (#1744, thanks @aviciot). Both same-named classes already survive as distinct path-scoped nodes, but the cross-module `references` edge was left pointing at a bare no-source stub because `_resolve_java_type_references` re-pointed `implements`/`inherits`/`imports` but not `references` — so a query about the referenced class could miss it. The Java resolver now disambiguates `references` by the importing file's `import` statement (falling back to same-package), mirroring the C# resolver, and drops the orphaned phantom.
