docs: session handoff 28 — Phase 2 closed; Phase 3 is next

Twenty-eighth handover. Captures this session's Phase-2 completion
(sub-phases 2d.1, 2e, 2g + DA-driven rework) and points the next
session at ADR-0030 Phase 3 (DML in Advanced mode) as the natural
continuation.

Pinned items for the next session:
- Four non-blocking DA observations from this session's
  verification report (group-by pattern overbreadth, look-ahead
  probe cost, tests-after-code on matrix coverage, matrix
  attribution wasn't row-by-row verified).
- A process lesson on DA discipline: rubber-stamp PASS verdicts
  must die. Next DA review lists critiques first, concludes after.
- Phase 3 design considerations: UPDATE/DELETE table-source
  scope, INSERT…SELECT, RETURNING, UPSERT, DML-specific
  diagnostics.

State: 1446 / 0 / 1 passing. Clippy clean. Phase 2 fully pushed.

# Session handoff — 2026-05-20 (28)
Twenty-eighth handover. **ADR-0032 Phase 2 closed.** This session
shipped sub-phases 2d.1 (the two non-cte arity diagnostics that
prior agent deferred), 2e (qualified-prefix completion + the
§10.3 stage-2 CTE harvest + §10.6 fixup-pass mechanism), and 2g
(verification sweep, including a DA-driven rework round that
surfaced four real production gaps). Phase 2 verification report
landed at `docs/handoff/20260520-phase-2-verification.md`.
## §1. State at handoff
**Branch:** `main`, fully pushed (user pushed after this
session). Working tree clean.
**Tests:** **1446 passing, 0 failing, 1 ignored** (up from
the start-of-session baseline of 1385 / 0 / 1 — a net **+61
tests** this session).
**Clippy:** clean (last verified at end of session, after the
DA rework commits).
**Commits this session** (in commit order, all now on
`origin/main`):
```
c20c6e0 walker: 2d.1 — projection-alias misplaced + compound-arity ERROR passes

```
## §2. What's done — Phase 2 in full
The Phase-2 surface delivered by this and the prior session is
documented in detail in
`docs/handoff/20260520-phase-2-verification.md` (the §5 deliverable
from the implementation plan). Headline summary:
### 2.1. Grammar
- Full SELECT statement: all five JOIN flavours, all four set
ops, `WITH` / `WITH RECURSIVE` CTEs with optional `(col-list)`,
`GROUP BY` / `HAVING`, `LIMIT … OFFSET`, `DISTINCT`, `t.*`,
bare-alias projection (lifting Phase-1 §4.2).
- sql_expr extensions for scalar subqueries, `IN (SELECT …)`,
`[NOT] EXISTS`, qualified column refs.
- Nested `WITH` admitted inside subqueries / CTE bodies (commit
`fd25904` closed the ADR-vs-implementation gap; ADR-0032 §10.3
implied this all along).
- OOS rejections for `NATURAL JOIN`, `JOIN … USING`, comma-FROM,
derived-tables-in-FROM, window functions, `LATERAL`, `VALUES`.
### 2.2. Walker
- `Node::ScopedSubgrammar(&Node)` — the new node variant that
pushes/pops a fresh `ScopeFrame` on entry/exit.
- `WalkContext::from_scope_stack: Vec<ScopeFrame>` — always
non-empty, bottom frame is the implicit top-level scope.
- Each `ScopeFrame` carries `from_scope: Vec<TableBinding>`,
`cte_bindings: Vec<CteBinding>`, `projection_aliases: Vec<String>`.
- §10.3 stage-2 harvest: CTE body's projection items derive
output columns at body-frame exit via post-walk path-scan
classifier (commit `dd37a1c`).
- `expand_binding` bridges CTE-source TableBindings to their
CteBinding's columns (sibling and nested CTEs work).
### 2.3. Diagnostics
- Three passes run on every successful parse:
1. `schema_existence_diagnostics` — multi-binding scope,
qualified refs, projection_alias_misplaced, duplicate_cte,
unknown_qualifier, ambiguous_column.
2. `sql_predicate_warnings` — MatchedPath-walking variant of
the predicate-warning pass; closes the Phase-1 carry-over
gap (`= NULL`, type-mismatch, `LIKE`-on-numeric on every
SQL `sql_expr` slot: WHERE, HAVING, ON, CASE, projection,
ORDER BY).
3. `compound_arity_diagnostics` — pre-flight catch for
`SELECT 1, 2 UNION SELECT 1`-style mismatches.
- `cte_arity_mismatch` emitted from the harvest when col-list
arity differs from derived arity.
### 2.4. Completion
- `CompletionProbe` now exposes `from_scope` and `cte_bindings`
at the cursor.
- Qualified-prefix completion (§10.5) — `t.|` / `cte.|` narrows
to that binding's columns.
- Look-ahead probe (the "edit an existing query" workflow):
when the leading walk produces no scope but the full input
has a FROM after the cursor, a second walk on the full
input populates from_scope and column candidates narrow
accordingly. Falls back to the §10.6 noisy-global posture
when the full input doesn't parse cleanly.
### 2.5. UI rendering
- Mode-aware highlighting: `lex_to_runs_in_mode`,
`render_input_runs_in_mode`, `highlight_runs_in_mode`. The
Advanced render path in `ui.rs` now uses the highlight walker
with `Mode::Advanced`, so SQL keywords colour correctly.
- The validity indicator `[ERR]` / `[WRN]` is wired through to
the active effective mode. SQL predicate warnings reach the
indicator (previously gated to Simple only — a real gap the
DA rework surfaced).
- `plain_input_spans` (the old un-highlighted Advanced fallback)
removed.
### 2.6. Type recovery
- `do_run_select` calls `resolve_select_column_types(conn, stmt)`
after `prepare` and threads the per-column types through to
`format_cell`.
- ADR-0030 Phase-1 §4.5 (bool rendering as `0`/`1`) is lifted
for every Phase-2 shape per Amendment 1's empirical findings
(non-recursive CTEs, scalar subqueries, derived tables, set
ops, JOINs all work; recursive CTE result columns stay
typeless).
### 2.7. Friendly-error layer
- Four new `engine.*` keys (aggregate_misuse, group_by_required,
compound_arity_mismatch, scalar_subquery_too_many_rows) are
authored AND wired: `translate_generic` pattern-matches the
engine message text and routes to the engine-neutral catalog
entry. Aggregate-in-WHERE confirmed end-to-end against actual
SQLite output; GROUP-BY-required and scalar-subquery are
SQLite-permissive (no real error on the natural triggers),
but the routing tests verify both no-false-positive on benign
queries and synthetic-message routing.
### 2.8. Documentation
- ADR-0032 Amendment 2 — records that §10.6's "rewrite the
highlight class" prescription is realised via the two-pass
schema-existence diagnostic + the renderer's diagnostic-
overlay path (no separate per-byte rewrite step needed; no
new HighlightClass variant).
- Cross-cut verification matrix in
`docs/plans/20260520-adr-0032-phase-2.md` — all 29 rows
populated with concrete `file::function` test references.
- Phase-exit verification report at
`docs/handoff/20260520-phase-2-verification.md` with the
full requirements-to-test mapping, autonomous-decision
audit, and DA review (PASS, with 4 non-blocking observations).
## §3. The four non-blocking DA observations
These were recorded in the verification report (§5) and are
**pinned here so the next session can decide whether to address
them or accept them as known trade-offs.** None block Phase 3
work.
### §3.1. Group-by pattern overbreadth
`translate_generic` in `src/friendly/translate.rs` matches any
engine error containing "group by" — could route unrelated
future SQLite errors through `engine.group_by_required`. Low
risk in practice (SQLite's other "group by" mentions are rare
and the catalog wording is generic enough not to mislead).
Tighten if a real false-positive surfaces.
### §3.2. Look-ahead probe cost
The completion engine in `src/completion.rs` runs a second walk
per Tab press when the leading walk produced no scope. For
complex inputs this doubles parse cost on those keystrokes. Not
benchmarked. Acceptable in current debounce-cadence usage;
revisit if profiling reveals it.
### §3.3. Tests-after-code on the matrix-coverage tests
The 13 new tests in commit `ed881ee` were written *after* the
gaps were discovered, not before. The spirit of CLAUDE.md's
"establish test coverage BEFORE making changes" rule was
violated. The tests do prove the behaviour, but the ordering
was wrong. Noted for future sub-phases — when matrix-driven
gap-closure happens, write failing tests first.
### §3.4. Matrix attribution wasn't verified row-by-row
The "validity indicator fires for SQL" matrix row pointed at
DSL tests (`input_verdict_eq_null_is_warning` exercises a
`DELETE FROM` command, not a SELECT). The DA had to catch
this — the rest of the matrix may have similar mis-attributions.
Future matrix-filling work should cross-check that each
attributed test actually exercises the claimed surface (e.g., a
"fires for SQL" row should point at a SQL-input test, not a
DSL test that happens to share the same code path).
## §4. Process lesson — DA discipline
The first DA pass on the verification report was a rubber stamp.
The user had to explicitly challenge it ("Did the DA have
anything to say other than PASS?") to get genuine engagement. The
second-pass DA produced seven specific critiques and routed three
blockers to rework (Phase 4 loop-back). **Next session: DA review
starts by listing specific critiques without the verdict, then
concludes — not the other way around.** A "conditional PASS" or
"PASS with caveats" is a FAIL per CLAUDE.md, but only if the DA
actually surfaces the caveats.
## §5. What's next — ADR-0030 Phase 3
ADR-0030's roadmap from §3:
- **Phase 1** ✅ — Validation grammar for SELECT in Advanced mode.
- **Phase 2** ✅ — Full SELECT grammar (this session closed it).
- **Phase 3** ← **NEXT** — DML in Advanced mode (`INSERT` /
`UPDATE` / `DELETE` as SQL).
- **Phase 4** — DDL in Advanced mode.
- **Phase 5** — DSL→SQL teaching echo.
- **Phase 6** — Polish.
**Phase 3 planning is the next session's primary task.** The
infrastructure built for Phase 2 directly applies:
- `ScopedSubgrammar` + scope-frame stack — UPDATE / DELETE have
table-source slots that need from_scope, same machinery.
- sql_expr — `INSERT … (col, …) VALUES (…)` value lists, UPDATE
SET assignments, WHERE predicates — all already speak sql_expr.
- Diagnostics — multi-binding schema-existence and the
predicate-warning pass apply to DML WHEREs uniformly.
- Engine-neutral parse errors via the friendly-error layer.
What needs fresh thinking:
- **Scope of DML's table-source slot.** UPDATE / DELETE accept
a single table (no JOIN in standard SQL). SQLite extends this
via `UPDATE FROM`. ADR-0030 Phase 3 needs a posture.
- **`INSERT … SELECT`** — pulls in the full Phase-2 SELECT
surface as a subquery. Should fall out for free from
ScopedSubgrammar recursion.
- **`RETURNING` clause** — SQLite supports it. Phase-3 may or
may not include it; needs a decision.
- **`UPSERT` (`INSERT … ON CONFLICT …`)** — same.
- **Diagnostics** new to Phase 3: e.g., assigning a column not
in the target table on INSERT, or a NOT-NULL violation that
the schema cache can pre-flight.
Recommended next-session entry point:
1. Read this handoff in full.
2. Read `docs/adr/0030-advanced-mode-sql-surface.md` (the source
roadmap).
3. Read `docs/adr/0032-sql-select-grammar.md` (the Phase-2
template — the same shape applies to Phase 3).
4. Read this session's Phase-2 verification report
(`docs/handoff/20260520-phase-2-verification.md`) for the
patterns that worked and the four non-blocking observations
that may want attention.
5. Draft ADR-0033 (placeholder number) for ADR-0030 Phase 3 —
the SQL DML surface. Follow ADR-0032's structure: scope,
sub-grammars, completion scope, diagnostics, type recovery,
OOS list, sub-phase plan.
## §6. Other open work — unchanged from prior handoffs
Same list as handoff-27 §8, minus the items Phase 2 closed:
- **Project storage Iter 5/6** — export/import, `--resume`,
persistent input history hydration, migration framework
scaffold.
- **Snapshot / replay / undo (U-series)** — designed in
ADR-0006, not implemented.
- **m:n convenience (C4)** — auto-generated junction tables.
- **Modify relationship (C3a)** — drop+add covers the case
today.
- **Column drops / renames / type changes (B2 / C2 partial)** —
rebuild-table primitive (ADR-0013) is in place; grammar +
dispatch are pending.
- **Rename table (C1)** — needs its own ADR.
- **Friendly-error sweep (H1)** — partial today; ADR-0032 §11.5
added four `engine.*` keys.
- **Strong syntax-help in parse errors (H1a)** — point users at
missing keywords rather than the unexpected character.
- **CI (TT5)** — test infrastructure exists; CI workflow not
yet configured.
- **Session log + Markdown export (V4)** — scrollable session
journal + save-as-markdown.
- **Readline shortcuts (I1b)**, **multi-line input (I1)**,
**tab completion polish (I3)**, **syntax highlighting (I4)**
the last two received Phase-2 advancement this session.
- **ER diagram export (V3)**.
- **Tutorial / lesson system** — needs its own ADR.
## §7. How to take over
1. **Read this file in full.** Then the Phase-2 verification
report and `CLAUDE.md`.
2. **`cargo test`** — expect **1446 passing, 0 failed, 1 ignored**.
3. **`cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`** — clean.
4. **The user's stated next step is "plan Phase 3, then drop
a new handoff that explicitly points to the next work step".**
The Phase-3 planning happens in the same session as this
handoff was written, so handoff-29 will likely follow with
the concrete code-starts-here pointer.
5. **Escalate before re-litigating decisions.** Phase 2's
ADR + Amendments are accepted. If implementation reveals
they're wrong, write a new Amendment — don't drift.
