Description

Found a possible issue in [rododo-meow/CUBE](https://www.github.com/rododo-meow/CUBE) at [src/CUBE/update.go](https://github.com/rododo-meow/CUBE/blob/2d7cb034733e1a34277cec3c431b1c126b2ba73e/src/CUBE/update.go#L6-L55)

Below is the message reported by the analyzer for this snippet of code. Beware that the analyzer only reports the first issue it finds, so please do not limit your consideration to the contents of the below message.

Click here to show the 50 line(s) of Go which triggered the analyzer.

```go

var wg sync.WaitGroup
wg.Add(worker.cube.L - 1)
var colle []Data
if cmd.localCombiner != nil {
colle = make([]Data, worker.cube.L)
colle[0] = cmd.localCombiner(e.data.Share, e.data.Colle)
for i := 1; i < worker.cube.L; i++ {
go func(i int) {
defer wg.Done()
resp := make(chan []Data)
worker.cube.SendInternal(worker.node + i * worker.cube.NperL,

Research direction

Read src/CUBE/update.go around lines 6-55, starting at the range over worker.edges and the two goroutines that send CmdFetchEdge. Confirm the range-loop capture is safe in both branches and that eid remains correct for each response; done means the reported analyzer finding is resolved without changing edge-update behavior.
