Description

Instead of bailing out on code like this:

```js
// root.js
require('./lib').a.b

// lib.js
exports.a = require('./a');

// a.js
exports.b = 1;
```

We should recognize recursive pattern and store uses in `a.js`.

Research direction

Start by tracing the recursive require example across root.js, lib.js, and a.js. Identify where the current import analysis bails out, then verify that the recursive pattern is recognized and uses from a.js are stored correctly. The issue does not mention a test file or repository entry point.
