# Objective
- Fixes#9114
## Solution
Inside `ScheduleGraph::build_schedule()` the variable `node_count =
self.systems.len() + self.system_sets.len()` is used to calculate the
indices for the `reachable` bitset derived from `self.hierarchy.graph`.
However, the number of nodes inside `self.hierarchy.graph` does not
always correspond to `self.systems.len() + self.system_sets.len()` when
`ambiguous_with` is used, because an ambiguous set is added to
`system_sets` (because we need an `NodeId` for the ambiguity graph)
without adding a node to `self.hierarchy`.
In this PR, we rename `node_count` to the more descriptive name
`hg_node_count` and set it to `self.hierarchy.graph.node_count()`.
