`create m:n relationship from <T1> to <T2> [as <name>]` generates a
junction table with one FK column per parent PK column ({table}_{pkcol},
typed via fk_target_type), a compound PK over them, and two CASCADE 1:n
relationships -- all in one do_create_table call = one undo step.
Auto-named {T1}_{T2} (optional `as`), both modes, compound-parent PKs
supported (ADR-0043). Self-referential m:n / PK-less parent / internal
junction name / name collision all refused.
Wired across every surface: grammar (separate CREATE_M2N node), worker
executor, runtime dispatch, completion ("m:n" composite), hints,
highlighting, help + usage catalog + disambiguator, and the advanced-mode
DSL->SQL teaching echo (render_create_m2n, round-trips as valid SQL).
Generalized/fixed framework assumptions the build + two /runda passes
surfaced (all behaviour-preserving for existing commands):
- simple-mode dispatch committed simple.first() unconditionally -> tries
candidates, so `create table` no longer shadows `create m:n`.
- the completion continuation-merge was advanced-only -> runs in simple
mode too when an entry word has >1 DSL form (gated simple_count>1).
- do_create_table now rejects internal `__rdbms_*` names (closes a
pre-existing hole on the DSL create-table path too, not just m:n).
- usage disambiguator now recognizes the `m:n` opener.
Tests: 14 integration (tests/it/m2n.rs), 7 typing-surface matrix, echo /
highlight / usage / internal-name units. Closes C4.
2237 pass / 0 fail / 1 ignored. Clippy clean.
Multi-column FK parsing on both surfaces: DSL from P.(a, b) to
C.(x, y) (parenthesized endpoint; single bare form unchanged) and
SQL FOREIGN KEY (a, b) REFERENCES P(x, y) incl. bare-reference
auto-expand. consume_fk_reference + the table-level/ALTER FK
parsers collect column lists; the from P. completion now offers
( (snapshots updated). 12 integration tests in
tests/it/compound_fk.rs cover parse (both surfaces), engine-enforced
FK, arity + partial-PK + per-pair-type-mismatch refusal,
--create-fk per-column, save->rebuild round-trip, undo (one step),
and single-column preservation. Mark T3 [x]; ADR-0043 implemented.
HELP node takes an optional single-word topic (BarePath);
AppCommand::Help { topic }. note_help_topic renders the help
block(s) of every command sharing that entry word (so `help
create` covers both create forms), plus `help types` and a
friendly "no help for X" pointer for unknown topics. Full help
gains a detail-hint footer. Catalogued help.detail_hint /
help.unknown_topic; parse-error matrix updated (help now takes a
topic, so the near-miss is the multi-word case). 9 integration
tests in tests/it/help_command.rs. Mark H3 [x].
Add the list-all show family as one Command::ShowList { kind }
variant. A read-only worker show_list formats count-headed lists
(reusing do_list_tables / read_all_relationships /
read_table_indexes, so it never drifts from the items panel);
internal __rdbms_* tables excluded. Help + parse-usage entries
added; 10 integration tests in tests/it/show_list.rs.
Mark V5 [x]. Split the singular show relationship/index <name>
detail forms (the [<name>] half) into a new tracked V5a [ ] item
rather than leaving them as an untracked footnote.
Each top-level tests/*.rs was its own crate → its own binary, each
statically linking the bundled engine + every dep. 26 of them, so an
edit to the lib relinked all 26. Moved the 25 standalone files into
tests/it/ under one tests/it/main.rs (the pattern typing_surface
already uses); cargo auto-detects it as the `it` target. End state: 2
integration-test binaries instead of 26.
Result: target/debug/deps 1.5 GB → 629 MB (-58%). Build time barely
moved (clean 22.9s→22.4s, lib-edit relink 13.3s→12.4s) — wall-clock is
dominated by compiling, not linking, so this is a disk win, not a speed
win (see docs/plans/20260602-test-consolidation.md). Tests unchanged at
2151/0/1; clippy clean; no fixups needed. typing_surface_matrix stays
its own already-consolidated binary.
Tradeoff: the 25 files now share one crate (a compile error fails the
whole `it` binary; module-scoped namespaces, no clashes) — negligible
for a solo project.
