> The current documentation for `PhaseCFG::insert_anti_dependences` is difficult to follow and sometimes even misleading. We should ensure the method is appropriately documented.
>
> ### Changeset
>
> - Rename `PhaseCFG::insert_anti_dependences` to `PhaseCFG::raise_above_anti_dependences`. The purpose of `PhaseCFG::raise_above_anti_dependences` is twofold: raise the load's LCA so that the load is scheduled before anti-dependent stores, and if necessary add anti-dependence edges between the load and certain anti-dependent stores (to ensure we later "raise" the load before anti-dependent stores in LCM). The name `PhaseCFG::insert_anti_dependences` suggests that we only add anti-dependence edges. The name `PhaseCFG::raise_above_anti_dependences`, therefore, seems more appropriate.
> - Significantly add to and revise the source code documentation of `PhaseCFG::raise_above_anti_dependences`.
> - Add, move, and revise `assert`s in `PhaseCFG::raise_above_anti_dependences`, including improved `assert` messages in a few places.
> - In the main worklist loop of `PhaseCFG::raise_above_anti_dependences`:
> - Clean up how we identify the search root (avoid mutation).
> - Add a missing early exit for `Phi` nodes when `LCA == early`.
>
> ### Testing
>
> - [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/dlunde/jdk/actions/runs/14706896111)
> - `tier1` to `tier4` (and additional Oracle-internal testing) on Windows x64, Linux x64, Linux aarch64, macOS x64, and macOS aarch64.
