# Implementation plan — ADR-0033 (ADR-0030 Phase 3)

**Plan author date:** 2026-05-20
**Driving ADR:** [ADR-0033 — The full SQL DML grammar (INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE)](../adr/0033-sql-dml-grammar.md)
**Parent ADR:** [ADR-0030 — Advanced mode: the standard-SQL surface](../adr/0030-advanced-mode-sql-surface.md)

## Purpose

ADR-0033 is the *decision*: what Phase 3 covers, how dispatch
works on shared entry words, what diagnostics land, what the
execute-path Command variants look like. This plan is the
*mechanics*: the build order (3a → 3k), the per-sub-phase exit
gates, the cross-cut verifications that prevent the kind of
silent gap Phase 1 shipped (ADR-0032 §11.6) and the kind of
matrix-attribution slippage Phase 2's first DA pass let through
(handoff-28 §3.4).

The plan does **not** re-litigate ADR-0033's decisions. Any
finding during implementation that suggests a decision should
change is escalated to the user and resolved by ADR amendment
(or a new ADR) before code proceeds — never by silent drift.

## Why this plan exists

Phase 2 closed clean but the closing DA review needed a second
pass to surface four production gaps. Phase 3 introduces a
structural risk Phase 2 didn't have: **a new walker capability
(`Node::Guard`) sits at the foundation**, and every later
sub-phase depends on it working. If 3a ships broken-but-believed-
green, 3b–3j build on broken scaffolding. The plan exists to
make 3a's verification rigorous and to keep every "X comes for
free" claim from ADR-0033 explicit and tested.

The three failure modes the plan is built to prevent:

- **The Guard mechanism shipping without proof that it fires
  BEFORE the Seq commits.** R1 in ADR-0033's Open Implementation
  Risks; 3a's DA gate makes this the make-or-break test.
- **A "free for free" claim shipping without a test that proves
  the claim.** Every "X works for SQL DML automatically" in
  ADR-0030/0031/0032/0033 needs an explicit cross-cut test.
- **Matrix attribution pointing at a DSL test for a SQL claim.**
  Handoff-28 §3.4: rows pointing at a SQL surface must point at
  a test whose INPUT is SQL syntax. Cross-checked at attribution
  time, not at DA-review time.

## Working-mode reminder

Per `CLAUDE.md`'s "Working mode — solo with sub-agents by
default": this work proceeds in solo mode unless the user
explicitly invokes `/team`. The phased structure below maps to
solo-mode's Phase 1 → 5 discipline within each sub-phase:

- Requirements extraction (the sub-phase's scope below) is
  Phase 1.
- Divergent exploration is rarely needed for individual
  sub-phases here (ADR-0033 already selected the approach), but
  if implementation reveals an ambiguity, it lands as a Phase-2
  exploration before code proceeds.
- The DA hat is worn at every sub-phase gate. The DA critique
  is **written** with specific findings BEFORE the verdict; a
  clean PASS without listed findings is a process failure even
  if the work is sound (handoff-28 §4.1; handoff-29 §4.1).
- Escalation rather than guessing applies throughout. "Out of
  scope" / "non-blocking" require user confirmation
  (handoff-29 §4.2).

## Standing authorizations and continuation policy

The user granted these authorizations for Phase 2; absent a
fresh statement to the contrary, they extend to Phase 3
because the work pattern is identical. They are recorded here
verbatim from `docs/plans/20260520-adr-0032-phase-2.md` so any
implementer (the original session, a future session, or a
fresh agent) operates on the same terms. **If the user has
narrowed these for Phase 3, the narrowest interpretation
wins.**

### 1. Walk the plan without interruption when no interruption is needed

The plan's sub-phases (3a–3k) have explicit, written exit
gates. Within a sub-phase, the implementer proceeds through
the build steps and verifies the gate without asking for
permission at each step. Between sub-phases, the implementer
proceeds to the next one without asking, *provided* the
previous gate is green.

The implementer does NOT interrupt to:

- Confirm "should I continue to the next sub-phase?"
- Confirm minor implementation choices that match surrounding
  code (`CLAUDE.md`'s code-style discipline applies; pick the
  consistent option and move on).
- Confirm test naming, file organisation, commit granularity
  within a sub-phase.
- Report progress mid-step. A status update arrives at gate
  boundaries — not every five minutes.

### 2. When the implementer MUST escalate

The escalation rule from `CLAUDE.md` ("Escalate ambiguity — do
not decide for the user") is **not** relaxed. Standing
authorization to walk uninterrupted is *not* authorization to
guess on design questions. The implementer escalates if:

- An exit gate cannot be made green by work in the current
  sub-phase's scope — a test fails for a reason that suggests
  the ADR is wrong, or a behaviour the gate requires turns out
  to need machinery not in ADR-0033.
- An ambiguity arises that the ADR and this plan do not settle.
  See "Open questions to escalate before code starts" at the
  end of this plan — those are pre-identified. Anything
  similar that surfaces is also escalation territory.
- An autonomous design decision is required (a choice outside
  ADR-0033 §§1–13's settled list and the plan's per-sub-phase
  scope). Per `CLAUDE.md`'s "Out of scope and non-blocking
  require user confirmation": the default assumption is that
  the work is in scope and is blocking unless the user has
  said otherwise (handoff-29 §4.2 pin).
- A "real blocker" is encountered — environment, dependency,
  or test-infrastructure failure that prevents progress and
  cannot be resolved within the sub-phase. A flaky test is
  not a real blocker — investigate per `CLAUDE.md`'s "no
  excuses" rule on test infrastructure.

### 3. Commits are pre-authorized at standard granularity

The user has explicitly pre-authorized commits within this
plan's scope, overriding `CLAUDE.md`'s "All commits MUST be
confirmed by the user first" for this plan. The implementer:

- **Commits at natural break points within each sub-phase** and
  always at sub-phase gate boundaries. Granular is better than
  monolithic.
- **Writes detailed commit messages** in the project's existing
  style — `area: short subject` first line, then a body
  explaining what changed and why. Body should reference the
  ADR section being implemented (e.g., "ADR-0033 §2 — Guard
  mechanism, option (a) chosen") so a reader can trace each
  commit back to a decision.
- **Includes NO AI attribution** of any form (`Co-Authored-By`,
  generated-by lines, AI footers, …). This is a global rule
  (`CLAUDE.md`); the standing authorization here is for
  *committing*, not for relaxing attribution discipline.
- **Names the mechanism choice in 3a's commit message** —
  option (a) / (b) / (c) per ADR-0033 §2. If 3a fell back to
  (b) or (c), update ADR-0033 §2's "Default choice" sentence
  in the same commit (per handoff-29 §3 step 6).

### 4. Pushes remain a user step

`CLAUDE.md`'s "Push is a user step — agents cannot and shall
never do it" is **not** overridden. The implementer commits
freely; the user pushes when they choose. Unpushed commits are
a normal working state, and the implementer never describes
work as blocked on a push.

### 5. End-of-plan handoff

At the end of 3k, after the verification report is produced
and the DA's final PASS verdict is recorded (with specific
critiques listed first, not a rubber-stamp), the implementer
**stops and surfaces a summary to the user** — exact test
counts, the filled cross-cut matrix, the requirements-to-test
mapping, any autonomous decisions made and their
justification. The user confirms acceptance before the plan
is considered done. This is the one explicit hand-back point.

If the user wants follow-up work — adjustments, polish,
additional tests — the implementer addresses it and re-runs
the gate before re-surfacing. The plan does not declare
itself complete; the user does.

a written DA gate review with specific critiques listed first,
and a commit (pre-authorized per §3 above).

## Sub-phase 3a — `Node::Guard` + mode-gated Choice mechanism

**This sub-phase is the foundation.** If the Guard mechanism
doesn't work cleanly, ADR-0033 §2's mitigation paths
(mechanism options (b) or (c)) get evaluated **before** any
DML grammar lands on top.

### Scope (in)

- Add a new walker node variant
  `Node::Guard(fn(&WalkContext) -> Result<(), ValidationError>)`
  to `src/dsl/grammar/mod.rs::Node` — zero-byte consumption,
  fails the enclosing Seq with `ValidationFailed` when the
  validator returns Err.
- Implement `walk_guard` in `src/dsl/walker/driver.rs`. Match
  arm in `walk_node_inner`.
- Add the `reject_sql_in_simple_mode` guard function. Returns
  `ValidationError { message_key: "advanced_mode.sql_in_simple",
  args: … }` in Simple mode, `Ok(())` in Advanced.
- Add the catalog key `advanced_mode.sql_in_simple` with
  engine-neutral wording matching the existing `select` /
  `with` gating pattern (ADR-0030 §2).
- Build the smoke-test grammar: a single experimental
  `CommandNode` whose `shape` is
  `Choice([Seq[Guard(reject_sql_in_simple_mode),
  SQL_marker_token], DSL_marker_token])` using two
  distinguishable, non-DML marker tokens (e.g., synthetic
  `__sql_marker` / `__dsl_marker`) so the smoke test exercises
  the mechanism without depending on any DML grammar.
- Verify the four mode × input cases listed in Exit gate
  below.

### Scope (out — explicit)

- Any real DML grammar — that is 3b onwards.
- Wiring `data::INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE` shapes — that is 3j.
- Any other guard-based gating beyond `reject_sql_in_simple_mode`
  — the mechanism is reusable but only this guard is
  required by this sub-phase.

### Build steps

1. Add `Node::Guard` variant. Cover the match-arm in every
   exhaustive `match Node` in the walker / grammar / hint
   helpers — clippy will surface incomplete arms.
2. Implement `walk_guard` in the driver. Push zero bytes;
   return `WalkOutcome::ValidationFailed` from the Err path.
3. Author `reject_sql_in_simple_mode` in
   `src/dsl/grammar/mod.rs` (or a sibling module if it fits
   better there).
4. Author the catalog key + an engine-neutral i18n message.
5. Build the smoke-test grammar in a temporary file
   (`src/dsl/grammar/_guard_smoke.rs` or similar; remove
   before 3a's commit, OR keep it as a unit-test fixture in
   the walker driver tests — implementer's choice as long as
   it doesn't leak into the runtime CommandNode registry).
6. Author the four exit-gate tests.
7. Author the R1 invariant test (DA gate below).
8. `cargo test`, `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`.

### Exit gate

**Required green tests:**

- **Smoke-test grammar — Simple mode + DSL-shape input:** the
  DSL branch matches. (Baseline: Choice fall-through works.)
- **Smoke-test grammar — Advanced mode + SQL-shape input:**
  the SQL branch matches.
- **Smoke-test grammar — Simple mode + SQL-shape input:**
  `WalkOutcome::ValidationFailed` with
  `message_key: "advanced_mode.sql_in_simple"`. (The Guard
  fires; no other branch is attempted because the SQL marker
  consumed bytes after the Guard pushed empty.)
- **Smoke-test grammar — Advanced mode + DSL-shape input:**
  the DSL branch matches. (Choice fall-through works even
  when the SQL branch is admissible — the Guard returned Ok
  but the marker token didn't match the input, so the SQL
  Seq fails NoMatch and Choice falls through to DSL.)

**R1 invariant test (this is the make-or-break case):**

- **Advanced mode + an input whose first tokens match the SQL
  branch's Guard-then-marker pattern but the SQL branch's
  *later* tokens fail, while the DSL branch's tokens would
  match the full input.** The expected outcome is:
  - If the Choice falls through to DSL → R1 mechanism (a)
    works as designed; 3a is green.
  - If the Choice commits to SQL and reports Failed → R1
    mechanism (a) is broken in the same way ADR-0033 §2's
    open risk anticipated; sub-phase REOPENS with mechanism
    option (b) or (c).

  Note: in 3a's smoke-test grammar the SQL and DSL markers
  are different, so the simplest exercise of this invariant
  uses a 2-token SQL branch (`SQL_marker_A`, `SQL_tail_X`)
  and an input `SQL_marker_A SQL_tail_Y` where `SQL_tail_Y`
  isn't admissible to the SQL branch but is admissible to
  the DSL branch. The Choice MUST fall through.

**Other gates:**

- `cargo test` total: 1446 (baseline) + the new smoke-test +
  R1 invariant tests; expect ≥ 1450 (rough order).
- Zero failures, one ignored (the unchanged doctest), zero
  skipped.
- `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean.

### DA gate (written)

The DA hat is worn explicitly here. Specific critiques listed
first, verdict last (handoff-29 §4.1 pin):

- **Does the Guard actually fire BEFORE the Seq commits?**
  Read `walk_seq` / `walk_choice` in
  `src/dsl/walker/driver.rs`. Trace the path: Choice picks
  branch 0 → walk_seq enters → walk_guard runs → if Err,
  Seq's outcome is Failed → does walk_choice see Failed and
  fall through to branch 1, or does it commit on branch
  0's "tried but failed"? The R1 invariant test above is
  the empirical answer; the DA reads the code and confirms
  the test's assertion matches the code path.
- **Is the Guard mechanism reusable beyond DML?** Phase 4
  (DDL) is the likely future consumer. If yes, document the
  pattern in `src/dsl/grammar/mod.rs` doc comments so the
  next phase doesn't reinvent it.
- **Does `reject_sql_in_simple_mode`'s catalog key match the
  existing `select` / `with` entry-word gate's wording
  posture?** Inconsistent UX between entry-word gates and
  branch gates is a real gap; the DA reads
  `src/dsl/grammar/mod.rs::ADVANCED_ONLY_ENTRIES` and
  confirms the catalog key + i18n string land at the same
  user-facing message shape.
- **Did 3a introduce any structure ADR-0033 §2 doesn't
  sanction?** A new node variant added; a new validator
  signature shape; a new catalog key. If anything beyond
  these landed, that's an autonomous decision to surface.
- **If the R1 invariant test fails, was the fallback path
  taken cleanly?** The fallback path means: (a) ADR-0033 §2
  amended with the chosen mechanism, (b) the smoke-test
  grammar rewritten on (b) or (c), (c) the gate's tests
  pass on the new mechanism, (d) the commit message names
  the mechanism that landed.

---

## Sub-phase 3b — INSERT grammar + minimal execution

### Scope (in)

- Author `src/dsl/grammar/sql_insert.rs` exporting
  `pub static SQL_INSERT_SHAPE: Node` (the per ADR-0033 §1
  shape minus row-source SELECT, RETURNING, UPSERT — those
  land in 3c/3g/3h).
- The shape covers: `INSERT INTO table_name
  [ '(' column_name_list ')' ] VALUES value_tuple ( ',' value_tuple )* [ ';' ]`.
- The `__rdbms_*` rejection on the table-name slot (per
  ADR-0030 §6 / ADR-0032 §1's `reject_internal_table`
  validator).
- `Command::SqlInsert { sql, source, target_table,
  listed_columns, returning: false }` — `returning` always
  false in 3b.
- `Request::RunSqlInsert` + `do_sql_insert` worker handler
  (no shortid auto-fill yet — explicit values required for
  every column).
- Persistence write-through on the target table after
  execution (ADR-0030 §11).
- History-log of the literal submitted line (ADR-0030 §11).
- A standalone development CommandNode (e.g., `sql_insert`)
  in the registry so 3b–3i can exercise the SQL INSERT path
  without depending on 3j's dispatch wiring on shared entry
  words. Removed in 3j.

### Scope (out — explicit)

- `INSERT … SELECT` — that is 3c.
- `RETURNING` — that is 3g.
- `UPSERT` — that is 3h.
- `shortid` auto-fill — that is 3d.
- Walker diagnostics specific to INSERT (`insert_arity_mismatch`,
  `auto_column_overridden`, `not_null_missing`) — that is 3i.
- DSL-vs-SQL dispatch wiring on `data::INSERT` — that is 3j.

### Build steps

1. Author `sql_insert.rs` with the value-list shape, plus
   reject-internal-table on the target slot.
2. Add `Command::SqlInsert` with the field list above.
3. Add `Request::RunSqlInsert` and `do_sql_insert`.
4. Wire history-log write-before-execute (mirror
   `do_run_select`'s pattern).
5. Wire persistence write-through after execute.
6. Build the development CommandNode (`sql_insert`) and
   register it.
7. Unit + integration tests per the exit gate.

### Exit gate

**Required green tests:**

- **Single-row INSERT runs end-to-end** —
  `INSERT INTO orders (customer_id, total) VALUES (1, 99.50)`
  succeeds; affected-row count surfaces; CSV is re-persisted
  with the new row.
- **Multi-row INSERT runs end-to-end** —
  `INSERT INTO orders VALUES (1, 'a'), (2, 'b')` succeeds;
  both rows land; CSV reflects both.
- **Column-list variant** —
  `INSERT INTO t (a, b) VALUES (1, 'x')` succeeds; the
  unmentioned columns get their defaults / NULLs.
- **No column-list variant** —
  `INSERT INTO t VALUES (…)` accepts the table's full column
  arity in the tuple.
- **`__rdbms_*` rejection** at the INSERT target-table slot
  (per ADR-0030 §6) — parse-rejects.
- **History line** is the literal submitted SQL.
- **Failed INSERT (engine error)** does NOT re-persist the
  CSV — invariant: persistence happens only on engine
  success.
- All Phase-2 tests (1446 baseline) still green.

**Other gates:**

- `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean.

### DA gate (written)

- **Does an INSERT failing mid-multi-row leave persistence in
  a consistent state?** SQLite's default is per-statement
  transactional — verify the worker doesn't re-persist when
  the engine returns an error.
- **Does the `target_table` extraction handle case-folding
  the same way the rest of the codebase does?** ADR-0009:
  identifiers are case-preserving but ADR-0012's metadata
  uses canonical casing for lookups. Verify the path.
- **Are the existing DSL INSERT tests still green?** Any
  DSL-side regression means 3b broke something it shouldn't
  have. Run the DSL INSERT test module explicitly.
- **Does the history-log line capture pre-engine state?**
  ADR-0030 §11: the literal submitted line is logged before
  execution. Verify the order (log → execute) and that a
  failing INSERT still leaves a log entry (for replay).
- **Did 3b introduce any structure ADR-0033 §1 doesn't
  sanction?**

---

## Sub-phase 3c — INSERT … SELECT

### Scope (in)

- Extend `SQL_INSERT_SHAPE`'s row-source slot to be a Choice
  between `values_clause` and
  `Subgrammar(&sql_select::SQL_SELECT_COMPOUND)`.
- The Phase-2 SELECT machinery applies for free — CTEs
  (Amendment 2 admits leading `WITH`), JOINs, set ops,
  subqueries, scope-frame harvest.
- `do_sql_insert` handles the SELECT-driven path; the engine
  handles the insert-from-query flow (no special composite
  preparation needed).

### Scope (out — explicit)

- Arity diagnostic (`insert_arity_mismatch`) — that is 3i;
  3c's only verification of arity is what the engine reports
  via the friendly layer.
- Schema-existence on the SELECT's projection — comes for
  free from Phase-2 machinery (ADR-0032 §11); 3c's job is to
  cross-cut-verify it fires on a DML SELECT slot, not to
  re-implement.

### Build steps

1. Wrap the existing values_clause in a Choice with the
   subgrammar reference.
2. Verify the development CommandNode admits both row
   sources.
3. Tests per the exit gate, including the WITH-prefixed
   case (R4 invariant).

### Exit gate

**Required green tests:**

- **Plain INSERT … SELECT** —
  `INSERT INTO archive SELECT * FROM orders WHERE created < '2025-01-01'`
  runs; the rows land in archive; archive's CSV reflects
  them.
- **Column-list + projection** —
  `INSERT INTO target (a, b) SELECT x, y FROM source`
  runs.
- **WITH-prefixed SELECT row source (R4)** —
  `INSERT INTO archive WITH t AS (SELECT * FROM orders)
  SELECT * FROM t` runs. (This proves the Amendment-2
  carry-through.)
- **Schema-existence diagnostic on the SELECT's projection
  (cross-cut)** —
  `INSERT INTO archive SELECT nonexistent_col FROM orders`
  fires `diagnostic.unknown_column` (or the equivalent
  Phase-2 key) on the projection — the Phase-2 pass
  applies here for free; the test pins the claim.
- All 3a–3b tests still green; baseline 1446 still green.

**Other gates:**

- `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean.

### DA gate (written)

- **Does the WITH-prefixed SELECT row source actually parse
  through `SQL_SELECT_COMPOUND`?** Or does the INSERT prefix
  break the Phase-2 recursion? The R4 test above pins this;
  the DA reads `sql_select::SQL_SELECT_COMPOUND` to confirm
  the entry shape admits `WITH`.
- **Does the cascade-summary path (3f DELETE) accidentally
  fire for INSERTs whose SELECT touches the target table?**
  It must not — INSERTs have no cascade output. 3c's tests
  shouldn't see a cascade summary even when the source is
  the same as the target.
- **Does a SELECT-driven INSERT respect the
  `__rdbms_*` rejection on the SELECT's `FROM` slot?**
  Phase-2 already gates this; 3c verifies it doesn't
  silently regress on the DML path.

## Sub-phase 3d — `shortid` auto-fill (worker)

### Scope (in)

- Worker-side post-fill in `do_sql_insert` (per ADR-0033 §6).
- Detect omitted `shortid` columns by intersecting the
  user's `listed_columns` against the target table's
  auto-gen column list from `__rdbms_playground_columns`.
- Synthesise fresh shortids per row (the existing
  `shortid::generate` path).
- Rewrite the executed SQL to bind the synthesised values
  positionally (or use parameter binding — implementer's
  choice, but the original submitted SQL stays unchanged in
  `history.log`).
- Cover both row sources: VALUES (single + multi-row) and
  SELECT (each yielded row gets a fresh shortid for the
  omitted auto-gen columns).

### Scope (out — explicit)

- The `auto_column_overridden` walker WARNING — that is 3i.
- `serial` auto-fill — handled by SQLite rowid; the worker
  has no work to do for `serial` columns.

### Build steps

1. Locate the existing DSL `do_insert`'s shortid auto-fill
   logic. Refactor as needed so the SQL path can call the
   same generator (the generator itself, not the surrounding
   typed `Command::Insert` plumbing).
2. In `do_sql_insert`, after parsing `listed_columns` vs
   table schema, identify omitted auto-gen columns.
3. For VALUES, synthesise per-row shortids and bind them.
4. For SELECT, the strategy needs an explicit design call:
   - **Option A:** Rewrite SQL to wrap the SELECT, projecting
     a synthesised shortid alongside (heavier; touches the
     SQL text).
   - **Option B:** Run the SELECT first into a result set,
     synthesise per-row shortids in the worker, then INSERT
     the augmented rows row-by-row (simpler; loses the
     engine's set-based optimisation).
   - **ESCALATE this choice to the user.** Both options are
     valid; ADR-0033 §6 doesn't pick. Plan default if the
     user is unavailable: **Option B** (simpler, matches the
     pedagogical posture; performance is not a goal).
5. Unit + integration tests per the exit gate.

### Exit gate

**Required green tests:**

- **VALUES single-row auto-fill** —
  `INSERT INTO t (name) VALUES ('x')` where `t` has `id
  shortid pk` auto-fills `id` with a fresh shortid;
  `SELECT * FROM t` shows the synthesised id.
- **VALUES multi-row distinct shortids** —
  `INSERT INTO t (name) VALUES ('a'), ('b'), ('c')`
  yields three rows with three DISTINCT shortid values.
- **Explicit value respected (override)** —
  `INSERT INTO t (id, name) VALUES ('hardcoded', 'x')`
  preserves `'hardcoded'`; the warning fires in 3i but
  the value is honoured here.
- **INSERT … SELECT auto-fills shortids** —
  `INSERT INTO target (name) SELECT name FROM source`
  where `target.id` is shortid produces fresh shortids
  for every yielded row (verified distinct).
- **Combined `serial` + `shortid` columns** —
  on a table with both, `serial` is engine-filled, `shortid`
  is worker-filled, no collision.
- All 3a–3c tests still green; baseline 1446 still green.

**Other gates:**

- `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean.

### DA gate (written)

- **Are the synthesised shortids actually unique across a
  multi-row INSERT?** The generator must be called per-row,
  not once and reused. The multi-row distinct test pins
  this.
- **Does the auto-fill respect the column's case-preserved
  name?** ADR-0009. Verify with a mixed-case shortid column
  name.
- **What happens if the table has both `serial` and
  `shortid` PK columns?** Spec: serial via SQLite rowid;
  shortid via worker post-fill. Verify no double-fill
  collision and no double-insertion.
- **Did the SELECT row-source path choose option A or B,
  and was it escalated to the user before landing?** If the
  implementer chose without escalating, that's an autonomous
  decision and 3d's DA verdict is FAIL until the user
  confirms.

## Sub-phase 3e — UPDATE grammar + execution

### Scope (in)

- Author `src/dsl/grammar/sql_update.rs` exporting
  `pub static SQL_UPDATE_SHAPE: Node`:
  `UPDATE table_name SET assignment_list [ where_clause ] [ ';' ]`.
- The `__rdbms_*` rejection on the target slot.
- `assignment_list` reuses `sql_expr::SQL_OR_EXPR` for the
  RHS of each assignment.
- `Command::SqlUpdate`, `Request::RunSqlUpdate`,
  `do_sql_update`.
- Persistence write-through on the target table.
- A development CommandNode `sql_update` until 3j.
- No `--all-rows` rail (ADR-0030 §12: SQL UPDATE without
  WHERE executes as written).

### Scope (out — explicit)

- `RETURNING` — that is 3g.
- `UPDATE … FROM other_table` — OOS-3 in ADR-0033 §13.
- Walker WARNING on UPDATE-touching-auto-gen-column — that
  warning lands in 3i if the implementer extends
  `auto_column_overridden`'s scope; the spec leaves it as an
  INSERT-only diagnostic per ADR-0033 §8.2. If the
  implementer wants to extend, escalate.

### Build steps

1. Author the shape.
2. Add Command/Request/handler.
3. Wire history-log + persistence.
4. Register the dev CommandNode.
5. Tests per the exit gate.

### Exit gate

**Required green tests:**

- **Single-column UPDATE with WHERE** —
  `UPDATE t SET v = 'x' WHERE id = 1` runs; affected-row
  count surfaces; CSV reflects the change.
- **Multi-column UPDATE** —
  `UPDATE t SET a = 1, b = 2 WHERE id = 1` runs.
- **UPDATE without WHERE** —
  `UPDATE t SET active = false` runs across all rows (per
  ADR-0030 §12, no `--all-rows` gate); CSV reflects all
  rows changed.
- **UPDATE with sql_expr in SET** —
  `UPDATE t SET total = price * quantity WHERE …` runs;
  the engine evaluates the expression.
- **Schema-existence diagnostic fires** on unknown columns
  in SET (cross-cut from Phase-2 machinery).
- **Predicate warning fires** on a bad WHERE
  (cross-cut from Phase-2 machinery — `= NULL` in the
  WHERE.)
- All 3a–3d tests still green; baseline 1446 still green.

**Other gates:**

- `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean.

### DA gate (written)

- **Does the SET assignment expression accept the full
  `sql_expr` (function calls, subqueries, CASE)?** Verify
  with `SET v = (SELECT max(other) FROM other_table)` and
  `SET v = CASE WHEN x > 0 THEN x ELSE 0 END`.
- **Does an UPDATE without WHERE actually run as written
  with no rail?** Per ADR-0030 §12. The test pins the claim.
- **Does the persistence write-through fire even when
  affected-row count is 0?** Edge case: an UPDATE that
  matches no rows. Worker should still treat the operation
  as successful (engine returned OK); CSV doesn't need to
  rewrite if nothing changed, but the path mustn't crash.
- **Did 3e regress any DSL UPDATE behaviour?**

---

## Sub-phase 3f — DELETE grammar + execution + cascade summary

### Scope (in)

- Author `src/dsl/grammar/sql_delete.rs` exporting
  `pub static SQL_DELETE_SHAPE: Node`:
  `DELETE FROM table_name [ where_clause ] [ ';' ]`.
- The `__rdbms_*` rejection on the target slot.
- `Command::SqlDelete`, `Request::RunSqlDelete`,
  `do_sql_delete`.
- Cascade-summary pre-count per ADR-0033 §7: extract WHERE
  bytes from the matched path, inject into pre-count
  subqueries for each child table FK with `ON DELETE
  CASCADE` / `SET NULL`.
- Cascade-summary formatter shared with `do_delete` (DSL
  path) — one formatter, two callers (ADR-0033 §7's
  shared-formatter promise).
- Persistence write-through on target + every cascade-
  affected child table (multi-table persistence is new for
  SQL DML; the DSL path already does this).
- Development CommandNode `sql_delete` until 3j.

### Scope (out — explicit)

- `RETURNING` — that is 3g; 3f leaves the cascade summary +
  affected-count as the only output for now.
- `DELETE … FROM other_table` — not a thing in standard
  SQL; OOS by silence.

### Build steps

1. Author the shape.
2. Extract the WHERE-byte-range capture in the walker's
   ast-builder for `SQL_DELETE_SHAPE` — the matched path
   spans the WHERE node; the ast-builder pulls the source
   bytes covered.
3. Refactor `format_cascade_summary` from `do_delete` so it
   accepts both the DSL typed-Expr path and a string-WHERE
   path. Implementer's call whether to extract via two
   pre-count strategies or one unified pre-count constructor
   that accepts either input form. Plan default: extract the
   pre-count constructor, keep formatting unified.
4. Wire `do_sql_delete`: pre-count → execute → format
   summary → re-persist target + every child whose row
   count changed.
5. Tests per the exit gate, including R2's WHERE-with-
   subquery case.

### Exit gate

**Required green tests:**

- **Plain DELETE with WHERE** —
  `DELETE FROM orders WHERE id = 1` runs; affected-row
  count + cascade summary surface; target CSV re-persisted.
- **DELETE without WHERE** —
  `DELETE FROM orders` runs across all rows; cascade
  summary covers all child rows; target + every cascade-
  affected child CSV re-persisted.
- **Cascade parity with DSL** — on the same schema and
  data, running `DELETE FROM customers WHERE id = 1` via
  the SQL path produces the same per-relationship summary
  as running the DSL `delete customers where id = 1`.
- **R2 invariant: WHERE-with-subquery** —
  `DELETE FROM orders WHERE customer_id IN (SELECT id FROM
  customers WHERE country = 'DE')` runs; the cascade pre-
  count uses the same WHERE bytes (the subquery runs N+1
  times — once for the count, once for the DELETE; the
  test pins correctness, not performance).
- **Cascade pre-count runs BEFORE execute** — verify order
  by exercising a case where the pre-count would yield 0
  if it ran after the DELETE (i.e., the rows being deleted
  are exactly the ones whose children are pre-counted).
- **Cascade-affected children CSVs re-persisted** — after
  a cascading DELETE, every affected child table's CSV
  reflects the post-state (rows gone for `ON DELETE
  CASCADE`, NULL for `SET NULL`).
- **`__rdbms_*` rejection** at the DELETE target slot.
- All 3a–3e tests still green; baseline 1446 still green.

**Other gates:**

- `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean.

### DA gate (written)

- **R2: does the predicate-extraction byte-range injection
  work on a WHERE containing a subquery?** Test
  `DELETE FROM a WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM b WHERE …)`.
  The pre-count SQL becomes
  `SELECT count(*) FROM child WHERE fk_col IN (SELECT pk_col
  FROM a WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM b WHERE …))`. The
  subquery runs twice (R2's noted performance concern).
  The DA reads `do_sql_delete`'s pre-count construction to
  confirm the byte range covers the entire WHERE (including
  the inner subquery) and not just the top-level predicate.
- **Does the cascade pre-count run in a way that doesn't
  see the post-DELETE state?** Order matters: pre-count
  BEFORE execute. Verified by the order test above; DA
  reads the code to confirm.
- **Is the cascade-summary formatter actually shared?** No
  duplicate copy of the formatter — one function, two
  callers (DSL + SQL).
- **Are cascade-affected child CSVs identified by querying
  the metadata tables for `ON DELETE CASCADE` / `SET NULL`
  relationships, or by walking the result of the cascade?**
  Implementer's choice; DA confirms whichever path is
  taken is sound and matches DSL `do_delete`.

---

## Sub-phase 3g — RETURNING

### Scope (in)

- Add `RETURNING projection_list` as an optional tail on
  all three SQL DML shapes (SQL_INSERT_SHAPE,
  SQL_UPDATE_SHAPE, SQL_DELETE_SHAPE).
- `projection_list` is the Phase-2 projection list,
  imported unchanged.
- Walker's `ast_builder` for each shape sets
  `returning: bool` true when the RETURNING tail matched.
- Worker handlers branch on `returning`:
  - `true` → prepare + step + collect rows into a
    `DataResult`. Reuse the SELECT result-column type
    recovery (`resolve_select_column_types` in `db.rs`,
    ADR-0032 §12 + Amendment 1).
  - `false` → execute, collect affected-row count
    (current 3b/3e/3f behaviour).
- DELETE … RETURNING preserves the cascade summary
  alongside the result set — both surface to the user.

### Scope (out — explicit)

- The Command variant shape changes — `returning: bool` is
  already in the spec (ADR-0033 §10); 3b set it false, 3g
  flips it.

### Build steps

1. Add the RETURNING tail to each shape.
2. Update each ast_builder to set `returning`.
3. Update each worker handler to branch.
4. Reuse `resolve_select_column_types` for the prepared
   statement's column-origin metadata.
5. For DELETE + RETURNING: ensure cascade pre-count still
   runs and its summary surfaces alongside the rows.
6. Tests per the exit gate.

### Exit gate

**Required green tests:**

- **INSERT … RETURNING \*** —
  `INSERT INTO t (a) VALUES (1) RETURNING *` returns the
  inserted row as a DataResult; affected-row count is
  implicit (rows.len() = 1).
- **INSERT multi-row … RETURNING id** —
  `INSERT INTO t (a) VALUES (1), (2), (3) RETURNING id`
  returns three rows; ids distinct.
- **UPDATE … RETURNING id, new_value** —
  `UPDATE t SET v = 'x' WHERE id = 1 RETURNING id, v`
  returns the modified columns of the affected row.
- **DELETE … RETURNING \*** —
  `DELETE FROM t WHERE id = 1 RETURNING *` returns the
  pre-DELETE row (BEFORE it's gone).
- **DELETE … RETURNING + cascade summary** —
  on a parent DELETE with cascade children, the user sees
  both the RETURNING result set AND the cascade
  per-relationship summary.
- **Result-column type recovery on RETURNING** — for each
  of the ten playground types, a bare-column RETURNING
  reference recovers the playground type via the Phase-2
  column-origin path. (At least one test per type; bundle
  into a single parametric test for compactness.)
- **Computed expression in RETURNING stays typeless** —
  `RETURNING a + 1` yields `column_types[0] = None`.
- **R3: RETURNING on multi-row INSERT** — column-origin is
  the same for all yielded rows (per ADR-0032 Amendment 1);
  one test pins it.
- All 3a–3f tests still green; baseline 1446 still green.

**Other gates:**

- `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean.

### DA gate (written)

- **Does the RETURNING result-set rendering use the same
  DataResult path SELECT uses?** Or did a DML-specific
  copy sneak in? Read the renderer; confirm one path, not
  two.
- **Does `RETURNING expr AS alias` admit aliases the same
  way the projection list does?** The projection list is
  Phase-2 machinery; 3g imports unchanged. Verify via a
  test.
- **For DELETE + RETURNING, does the cascade pre-count
  fire correctly?** The cascade summary is per-relationship
  child rows affected — independent of whether the user
  asked for RETURNING. Both must surface.
- **Result-column type recovery test count: ten types?**
  All ten playground types covered (text, int, real,
  decimal, bool, date, datetime, blob, serial, shortid).

---

## Sub-phase 3h — UPSERT (`ON CONFLICT … DO NOTHING / DO UPDATE`)

### Scope (in)

- Add `on_conflict_clause` to `SQL_INSERT_SHAPE`:
  - Optional `(column_name_list)` conflict target.
  - `DO NOTHING` branch.
  - `DO UPDATE SET assignment_list [ where_clause ]` branch.
- `excluded` admitted as a table alias inside DO UPDATE
  expressions only — its columns are the target table's
  columns (per ADR-0033 §9). Scoped to the DO UPDATE
  branch.
- Walker captures the UPSERT shape; worker executes the
  validated SQL as-is (no special pre-processing).

### Scope (out — explicit)

- `INSERT OR REPLACE / IGNORE / ABORT / FAIL / ROLLBACK` —
  OOS-2 in ADR-0033 §13.

### Build steps

1. Author the on_conflict_clause node tree.
2. Wire the conflict target column-name list to use the
   same `Columns` ident slot as the column-name list at the
   top of INSERT.
3. Author the `excluded` pseudo-alias machinery: a special
   `TableBinding` pushed onto the current frame's
   from_scope ONLY while walking the DO UPDATE expressions.
   The binding's columns are sourced from the target
   table's schema cache entry.
4. Tests per the exit gate.

### Exit gate

**Required green tests:**

- **DO NOTHING on conflict** —
  `INSERT INTO t (id, name) VALUES (1, 'x')
  ON CONFLICT (id) DO NOTHING` on a pre-existing `id = 1`
  runs; affected-row count is 0; CSV unchanged.
- **DO UPDATE with excluded** —
  `INSERT INTO t (id, name) VALUES (1, 'new')
  ON CONFLICT (id) DO UPDATE SET name = excluded.name`
  on a pre-existing `id = 1` runs; the row's name is
  updated to `'new'`; CSV reflects the change.
- **DO NOTHING without target spec** —
  `INSERT INTO t … ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING` handles any
  conflict.
- **`excluded.col` resolves to the target table's
  columns** (cross-cut completion / highlight test:
  Tab at `… DO UPDATE SET name = excluded.|` lists
  the target table's columns).
- **`excluded` does NOT leak outside DO UPDATE** —
  parsing `INSERT INTO t VALUES (excluded.name, …)` (with
  `excluded` used in the value list, not inside DO UPDATE)
  fires `diagnostic.unknown_qualifier` or equivalent. The
  alias is strictly scoped to the DO UPDATE branch.
- **Persistence write-through on DO UPDATE** — yes; the
  target row is modified.
- All 3a–3g tests still green; baseline 1446 still green.

**Other gates:**

- `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean.

### DA gate (written)

- **Does ON CONFLICT … DO UPDATE trigger persistence
  write-through?** Yes; the target row is modified. The
  worker doesn't accidentally bypass re-persistence on the
  upsert path.
- **Is the `excluded` alias scoped to ONLY the DO UPDATE
  branch, not leaking into the outer INSERT?** The leak
  test above pins this.
- **Is `excluded` engine-neutral?** No — it's SQLite +
  PostgreSQL spelling (standard SQL uses `MERGE … WHEN
  MATCHED`). ADR-0033 §9 carves this out explicitly; the
  DA confirms the carve-out is justified (it is) and that
  the catalog wording referencing UPSERT doesn't leak
  product names.
- **Does the conflict target column list reject
  `__rdbms_*` columns?** The columns are owned by the
  target table; if the target is rejected at the outer
  table slot, the inner column list is by construction
  fine. Sanity-verify.

---

## Sub-phase 3i — Diagnostics

### Scope (in)

- `diagnostic.insert_arity_mismatch` (ERROR, ADR-0033 §8.1):
  walker pre-flight when `(column_name_list)`'s arity
  disagrees with a value_tuple's arity (per-row for
  multi-row VALUES), or with the SELECT's projection arity
  for INSERT…SELECT.
- `diagnostic.auto_column_overridden` (WARNING, ADR-0033 §8.2):
  walker emit when INSERT explicitly assigns a value to a
  `serial` / `shortid` column.
- `diagnostic.not_null_missing` (WARNING, ADR-0033 §8.3):
  walker emit when INSERT's `(column_name_list)` omits a
  NOT-NULL-no-default column.
- Per-key positive + negative tests (the ADR-0032 §2d
  pattern reused).
- Catalog entries with engine-neutral wording.

### Scope (out — explicit)

- Engine-side translations (FK / UNIQUE / NOT-NULL on
  execute) — ADR-0033 §11 reuses existing keys; no new
  ones needed.
- Predicate warnings on DML's sql_expr slots — inherited
  from Phase-2 machinery; 3i cross-cuts-verifies they
  fire on DML slots but doesn't re-implement.

### Build steps

1. Author the three walker diagnostic passes (or extend
   existing passes if cleaner — implementer's call).
2. Author the catalog keys + i18n strings.
3. Author the positive + negative tests per key.
4. Verify per-row emit for multi-row arity mismatch.
5. Cross-cut-verify the inherited Phase-2 passes fire on
   DML sql_expr slots.

### Exit gate

**Required green tests:**

- **`insert_arity_mismatch` positive (single-row)** —
  `INSERT INTO t (a, b) VALUES (1, 2, 3)` fires.
- **`insert_arity_mismatch` negative (matched arity)** —
  `INSERT INTO t (a, b) VALUES (1, 2)` doesn't fire.
- **`insert_arity_mismatch` per-row emit (multi-row)** —
  `INSERT INTO t (a, b) VALUES (1, 2), (3, 4, 5), (6), (7, 8)`
  fires on rows 2 and 3, NOT on rows 1 and 4 (two
  diagnostics, two right rows silent).
- **`insert_arity_mismatch` on INSERT…SELECT** —
  `INSERT INTO t (a) SELECT a, b FROM source` fires;
  anchored on the SELECT's first projection_item span.
- **`auto_column_overridden` positive** —
  `INSERT INTO t (id, name) VALUES (5, 'x')` (id is
  `serial`) fires WARNING; the statement still runs.
- **`auto_column_overridden` negative** — omitting `id`
  doesn't fire.
- **`auto_column_overridden` on shortid** — same as serial
  but `id` is `shortid`.
- **`not_null_missing` positive** —
  `INSERT INTO t (a) VALUES (1)` (b is NOT NULL no
  default) fires WARNING; the statement still parses (the
  engine rejects on execute).
- **`not_null_missing` negative** — including `b` doesn't
  fire.
- **`not_null_missing` does NOT fire for columns with a
  default value** — even if NOT NULL.
- **Cross-cut: schema-existence diagnostic fires on
  INSERT VALUES** — `INSERT INTO t (nonexistent) VALUES (1)`
  fires the Phase-2 key on the column name.
- **Cross-cut: schema-existence fires on UPDATE SET** —
  `UPDATE t SET nonexistent = 1 WHERE id = 1` fires.
- **Cross-cut: schema-existence fires on UPDATE / DELETE
  WHERE** — already verified in 3e/3f exit gates;
  re-reference here.
- **Cross-cut: predicate warnings fire on DML WHERE / SET
  / VALUES** — `UPDATE t SET v = 1 WHERE x = NULL` fires
  `eq_null`.
- All 3a–3h tests still green; baseline 1446 still green.

**Other gates:**

- `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean.

### DA gate (written)

- **Does each new key have BOTH a positive and a negative
  test?** Walk the keys; verify both rows above.
- **Is `auto_column_overridden` a Warning, not an Error?**
  Read the diagnostic's severity field; confirm.
- **Is `not_null_missing` a Warning, not an Error?** Same.
- **Are the catalog wordings engine-neutral?** No "SQLite",
  "PRAGMA", "STRICT", or "rusqlite" leak. Verify by
  reading the i18n strings.
- **Does multi-row arity-mismatch actually emit per-row?**
  The test pins it; the DA reads the code to confirm the
  emit happens inside the per-row visit, not once for the
  values_clause as a whole.

## Sub-phase 3j — Dispatch wiring on shared entry words

### Scope (in)

- Convert `data::INSERT`, `data::UPDATE`, `data::DELETE`
  CommandNode shapes from their current DSL-only form to
  `Choice([SQL_<X>_SHAPE, DSL_<X>_SHAPE])` per ADR-0033 §2.
- Wire `Node::Guard(reject_sql_in_simple_mode)` at the
  head of each SQL_<X>_SHAPE's Seq (the 3a mechanism).
- Remove the development CommandNodes (`sql_insert` /
  `sql_update` / `sql_delete`) from the registry.
- Verify the public test surface: existing DSL tests use
  unchanged inputs and see unchanged outputs; new SQL
  tests reach the SQL branch via the shared entry words.

### Scope (out — explicit)

- Any behaviour change. This is a wiring refactor:
  observable behaviour must be identical before and after
  3j.

### Build steps

1. Convert each shape. The Choice declares SQL first, DSL
   second (per ADR-0033 §2).
2. Insert the Guard at the head of each SQL branch's Seq.
3. Update every test that referenced `sql_insert` /
   `sql_update` / `sql_delete` to use `insert` / `update` /
   `delete` instead.
4. Remove the development CommandNodes.
5. Run the full suite.

### Exit gate

**Required green tests:**

- **All existing DSL INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE tests still
  green** — unmodified inputs, unmodified outputs.
- **All Phase-3 SQL DML tests still green via the new
  dispatch path** — the SQL branch is reached through
  `data::INSERT` etc., not through the development
  CommandNodes. Verifiable: grep for `sql_insert` /
  `sql_update` / `sql_delete` and confirm zero remaining
  references in src/dsl/grammar/.
- **Structurally-ambiguous input routes SQL-first in
  Advanced** —
  `delete from t where id = 1` in Advanced mode goes
  through the SQL DELETE branch (verifiable: a SQL-only
  side effect fires, e.g., the cascade-summary code path
  shared by both — pin by checking a unique-to-SQL trace
  point, OR by verifying that a SQL-syntax-only construct
  on the same input matches).
- **DSL-specific input falls through to DSL in Advanced** —
  `delete from t --all-rows` in Advanced matches the DSL
  branch (the `--all-rows` flag is DSL-only, so the SQL
  Seq's NoMatch lets Choice fall through).
- **Simple mode + SQL input fires the Guard** —
  `delete from t where id = 1 returning *` (DML+RETURNING,
  clearly SQL) in Simple mode produces
  `ValidationFailed` with
  `message_key: "advanced_mode.sql_in_simple"`.
- **R1 invariant holds in real grammar** — the smoke-test
  from 3a was minimal; 3j is the first time the Guard
  mechanism sees real DML branches with overlapping
  prefixes. A specific test: in Advanced mode, an INSERT
  that the SQL branch parses partway and then rejects
  (e.g., a malformed `RETURNING` tail that's also not
  a valid DSL fragment) — the Choice's behaviour is what
  ADR-0033 §2 dictates: SQL > DSL ordering means the SQL
  branch's Failed propagates as the Choice's outcome (no
  fallback because the DSL branch wouldn't match either).
  The test pins the user-facing error wording.
- All 3a–3i tests still green; baseline 1446 still green.

**Other gates:**

- `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean.

### DA gate (written)

- **Verify that no test was changed to make 3j pass.** Only
  the CommandNode shape's structure changes; the
  observable behaviour at the public test surface is
  identical for inputs that worked before. Grep the diff
  for tests whose `INPUT` strings changed in 3j — there
  should be none for existing DSL tests; the Phase-3 SQL
  tests' inputs are the same (only their dispatch path
  differs).
- **Is the test count higher than before 3j?** It should
  be the same or higher (no tests removed, possibly a
  handful added for the structurally-ambiguous + fall-
  through cases above).
- **R1 hold-up in real grammar?** The 3a smoke-test pinned
  the invariant on synthetic tokens; the DA confirms it
  holds on real DML.

## Sub-phase 3k — Verification sweep

### Scope (in)

The catch-all sub-phase. Verifies the full end-to-end Phase 3
surface and every cross-cut "X comes for free" claim. Produces
the **final phase-exit verification report** (next section).

### Build steps

1. Author the end-to-end integration tests (Tier 3) for
   real-world-shape DML queries (the exit-gate list below).
2. Author or extend the cross-cut verification matrix (next
   section) for every "X comes for free" claim from
   ADR-0030/0031/0032/0033.
3. Run the full test suite. Confirm 1446 baseline + all
   sub-phase 3a–3j additions + the 3k integration tests.
4. Run `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`.
5. Produce the final verification report.

### Exit gate

**Required end-to-end integration tests:**

- **INSERT … SELECT cross-table** —
  `INSERT INTO archive SELECT * FROM orders WHERE created
  < '2025-01-01'` — runs, archive has the rows, both CSVs
  reflect state, renderer clean.
- **Multi-row INSERT with all ten playground types** —
  every type lands in a row via a multi-row INSERT;
  values round-trip correctly.
- **UPDATE with subquery in SET** —
  `UPDATE customers SET last_order_date = (SELECT max(date)
  FROM orders WHERE customer_id = customers.id)` runs;
  values updated; CSV reflects.
- **DELETE with cascade** — end-to-end including
  per-relationship summary, multi-table CSV re-persistence.
- **UPSERT round-trip** — DO UPDATE updates an existing
  row; DO NOTHING on a separate conflict no-ops; both
  surface their expected outcomes.
- **RETURNING on each of INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE** — each
  produces a DataResult; result-column types recovered.
- **`history.log` replay**: every Phase-3 statement form
  written above replays from the log faithfully (ADR-0030
  §11 unchanged for DML).

**Cross-cut verification matrix** (next section): every
claim must have a passing test, with the test's INPUT
being SQL syntax for SQL claims (handoff-29 §4.4 pin).

**Other gates:**

- Total test count: ≥ 1446 + (additions from 3a–3k). The
  exact count depends on per-step authorship; the gate is
  "every required-test row above and in the cross-cut
  matrix has at least one green test", not a magic number.
- Zero failures, zero skipped (excluding the unchanged
  doctest).

### DA gate (written)

The final DA review, per CLAUDE.md Phase-5 verification and
handoff-29 §4.1 pin (specific critiques first, verdict
last; rubber-stamp PASS is a process failure):

- **Walk the cross-cut matrix row-by-row.** Every row's
  test must (a) exist, (b) be green, (c) have INPUT that
  matches the row's claim source (SQL claims → SQL
  inputs).
- **Are there any "free for free" claims from
  ADR-0030/0031/0032/0033 that have no explicit test?**
  Phase-1 gap pattern, Phase-2's four DA findings. Each
  must have one.
- **Did any sub-phase silently downgrade a requirement to
  "later"?** Phase-2's "out of scope" defer-trap reflex.
  Any "not in scope" call by the implementer that wasn't
  user-confirmed is a verdict FAIL until escalation
  closes (handoff-29 §4.2 pin).
- **Did any sub-phase make an autonomous decision that's
  not in ADR-0033?** Specific items to check: the 3d
  Option A/B choice (must be user-confirmed if Option A
  was chosen unilaterally); any new catalog keys beyond
  the three in §8.1–§8.3; any new Command variants beyond
  the three in §10.
- **Are ALL tests green AND zero-skipped?** If not, the
  verdict is FAIL and 3k loops back to whichever sub-phase
  introduced the gap.

## Cross-cut verification matrix

Each row is a claim from ADR-0030, ADR-0031, ADR-0032, or
ADR-0033 that needs an explicit test, with the test's
location. The matrix is filled in during 3k; the gate is
"every row green AND every SQL claim's test takes SQL
input" (handoff-29 §4.4 pin).

| Claim source           | Claim                                                                          | Test location | Status |

**Footnotes (resolutions surfaced during 3k).**

- **[a]** ADR-0033 **Amendment 1** replaced `Node::Guard` with
  category-grouped, mode-aware dispatch in `walker::walk`; the R1
  invariant ("the SQL branch failing must not strand the DSL
  candidate") is now the Advanced-mode fall-through, proven on the
  dispatch smoke registry by `advanced_mode_dsl_input_falls_back_to_dsl`
  and on real DML by `parser::advanced_dsl_only_delete_falls_back_to_dsl`.
- **[b]** ADR-0033 **Amendment 3** supersedes the original
  "bare `ValidationFailed`" expectation for shared words: a shared
  entry word in Simple mode commits the **DSL candidate** and surfaces
  the real DSL parse error, with the `advanced_mode.also_valid_sql`
  pointer combined at the render layer. The bare
  `advanced_mode.sql_in_simple` hint is reserved for SQL-only *entry
  words* (`select` / `with`).
- **[c]** ADR-0033 **Amendment 2** withdrew R2: the cascade summary is
  produced by before/after **count-diff in a transaction** (DSL
  parity), not WHERE-byte pre-count injection. The subquery-in-WHERE
  case is correct by construction.
- **[d]** **Matrix claim corrected (user-confirmed, 3k).** Predicate
  warnings fire on every DML `sql_expr` slot that carries **row scope**
  (UPDATE/DELETE WHERE, UPDATE SET incl. CASE, INSERT…SELECT
  projection & WHERE). Plain `INSERT … VALUES` has no row scope, so a
  bare-column predicate is inapplicable there — consistent with
  ADR-0033 §8.4 ("WHERE and CASE expressions"). The original example
  ("inside INSERT VALUES") was an over-statement of the §8.4 claim.
- **[e]** **N/A — deferred (user-confirmed, 3k).** ADR-0006
  auto-snapshot / undo is unimplemented for **both** the DSL and SQL
  DML paths (the U-series, per `CLAUDE.md` "Things deliberately
  deferred"). The "same way as DSL" parity therefore holds vacuously
  and Phase 3 introduces no regression. ADR-0033 §10's auto-snapshot
  consequence is contingent on the deferred ADR-0006 work; this row is
  N/A, not red, and does not block the phase exit.
- **[f]** **Attribution corrected (`/runda` round).** The ambient
  hint-panel claim sits under the §8 *advanced* surface, but the
  hint-prose tests run via `ambient_hint` (which defaults to
  `Mode::Simple` — the DSL value-slot prose). 3k's `/runda` round added
  `advanced_mode_ambient_offers_dml_slot_candidates` so the row has a
  genuine **advanced-mode** DML hint-panel attribution (column
  candidates at an `UPDATE … SET` LHS and inside an `INSERT … (` column
  list); the simple-mode DSL prose tests remain as the DSL-surface
  complement.

The implementer fills in `Test location` and `Status`
(✅ / ❌) as 3k proceeds. A row marked red blocks the
phase exit.

**Attribution rule (handoff-29 §4.4 pin):** for any row
whose Claim source is a SQL claim, the `Test location` must
point at a test whose INPUT is SQL syntax. Cross-checked
at attribution time, not at DA-review time.

## Final phase-exit verification report

Produced at the end of 3k. A markdown document at
`docs/handoff/<date>-phase-3-verification.md` (matching the
Phase-2 naming pattern). The report contains:

1. **Test suite totals** — passed / failed / skipped /
   ignored, exact numbers from `cargo test` output.
   Compared against the Phase-2 baseline (1446 / 0 / 0 / 1).
2. **The full cross-cut verification matrix** with every
   row green.
3. **A requirements-to-test mapping** — every numbered
   decision in ADR-0033 §§1–13 with the test(s) that prove
   it.
4. **A list of any autonomous decisions** made during
   implementation, with rationale and explicit user-
   confirmation pointer for each. (Per CLAUDE.md: an
   autonomous decision without explicit user confirmation
   is a verdict FAIL.)
5. **The DA's written final review** — with specific
   critiques listed first and the PASS / FAIL verdict
   last. No "conditional" verdicts (handoff-28 §4.1 pin).

Only after the report is produced and signed off does the
user-facing "Phase 3 complete" message issue.

## Open questions to escalate before code starts

These are matters the plan deliberately leaves to the
implementer to escalate when reached, *not* to decide
silently:

1. **shortid auto-fill on INSERT … SELECT (3d).** Option A
   (SQL rewrite) vs Option B (worker materialisation).
   ADR-0033 §6 doesn't pick. Plan default if the user is
   unavailable: Option B (simpler, matches pedagogical
   posture). Implementer escalates BEFORE 3d code lands;
   if user unavailable, choice is recorded in the
   verification report under "autonomous decisions" for
   retroactive confirmation.
2. **R1 mechanism fallback (3a).** If option (a) (Guard
   validator) doesn't work, options (b) and (c) per
   ADR-0033 §2's enumeration. The plan does NOT pre-pick;
   if (a) fails, the implementer evaluates (b) and (c)
   and brings a recommendation to the user.
3. **Cascade-summary pre-count construction (3f).** Two
   pre-count strategies (typed-Expr from DSL, byte-range
   string from SQL) vs one unified constructor. Plan
   default: unified constructor that accepts either input
   form, with the formatter alone shared. Implementer's
   call; not an escalation unless a third option surfaces.
4. **UPSERT engine-neutral catalog wording (3h).** The
   `excluded` keyword is engine-neutral-carved-out per
   ADR-0033 §9; the surrounding catalog wording (e.g.,
   the help-text for an UPSERT statement, the error
   message if `excluded` is used outside DO UPDATE) must
   not leak SQLite product names. If the implementer
   isn't sure, escalate before writing the i18n string.

## What this plan does NOT contain

- Time estimates. Phase 3 is medium-sized but introduces
  R1's structural risk; calibration is poor. Milestones,
  not hours.
- Sub-phase commit granularity beyond "ship green tests
  at each gate". The implementer commits at natural break
  points within a sub-phase; the gate is what gets
  verified.
- Re-statements of ADR-0033's decisions. The plan refers
  to ADR-0033 by section; the implementer reads both.
- Process pins from the prior session that don't change
  anything mechanical. They land in the implementer's
  context via handoff-29 §4, not via duplication here.
