Click here to show the 5 line(s) of Go which triggered the analyzer.
```go
for _, r := range rs.Items {
if r.GetObjectMeta().GetDeletionTimestamp() == nil && r.Spec.Host == existingHost {
this.ctx.GetResourceCache().Set(resources.RC_KEY_ROUTE_OCP, resources.NewResourceCacheEntry(common.Name(r.Name), &r))
}
}

No path was found through the callgraph that could lead to a function which writes a pointer argument.
No path was found through the callgraph that could lead to a function which passes a pointer to third-party code.
root signature {NewResourceCacheEntry 2} was not found in the callgraph; reference was passed directly to third-party code

Research direction
Read pkg/controller/apicurioregistry/svc/patcher/patcher_ocp.go around lines 88-92, then trace NewResourceCacheEntry and the resource-cache entry it receives. Determine whether the range variable reference can escape or be retained incorrectly, and confirm the analyzer finding or document why it is safe; done means the pointer behavior is verified and any needed fix is covered by relevant tests.
