# Architecture Decision Records

This directory contains the project's ADRs, recorded per
[ADR-0000](0000-record-architecture-decisions.md).

## Index

- [ADR-0000 — Record architecture decisions](0000-record-architecture-decisions.md)
- [ADR-0001 — Language and TUI framework](0001-language-and-tui-framework.md) — **Amendment 1 (2026-06-09)**: after the GitHub→Gitea migration (`git.lazyeval.net`), the prebuilt-binary distribution channel named in the Decision ("GitHub releases") is reopened as an undecided choice, to be settled by a future distribution ADR; package-manager channels unaffected
- [ADR-0002 — Database engine](0002-database-engine.md)
- [ADR-0003 — Input modes and command dispatch](0003-input-modes-and-command-dispatch.md) — the persistent `Simple`/`Advanced` mode and the `:` one-shot escape. The **startup mode is no longer always `simple`**: it is restored from the project's stored mode and overridable with `--mode` (see **ADR-0015 Amendment 1**, issue #14). The app-command registry gains **`copy`** (ADR-0041, issue #11)
- [ADR-0004 — Project file format](0004-project-file-format.md)
- [ADR-0005 — Column type vocabulary](0005-column-type-vocabulary.md) — the ten-type set (`text`/`int`/`real`/`decimal`/`bool`/`date`/`datetime`/`blob`/`serial`/`shortid`), compound PKs, no true UUIDs; `decimal` stored as exact TEXT. **Amendment 1, 2026-06-12** (issue #32): SQLite has no native decimal/BCD type, so arithmetic/aggregation over a TEXT `decimal` is implicitly coerced to an IEEE-754 double and the computed (typeless) result leaked float noise (`298.59999999999997` for `298.60`); floating-point values are now rounded to **15 significant figures for display only** (`format_real_display` in `db.rs`, wired into `format_cell` — the result-set/`show data` cell formatter, the only surface where arithmetic noise surfaces) while every other f64→string path keeps full precision because the distinction is *semantic*: persistence (`csv_io::format_real`) stays byte-exact for round-trip; `render_value` is a *canonical identity key* for the uniqueness dry-runs (`dry_run_unique` ADR-0029 §5, `check_uniqueness_collisions` ADR-0017 §4.3) so rounding it would report collisions the exact-valued engine wouldn't; FK-key matching and EXPLAIN-SQL literals likewise stay exact — so stored `real`/`decimal` round-trips stay byte-exact and raw `decimal` columns render verbatim
- [ADR-0006 — Undo snapshots and replay log](0006-undo-snapshots-and-replay-log.md) — **Accepted**. The **replay/journal half** (U3/U4) shipped via ADR-0034; the **undo/snapshot half** (U1/U2) is settled by **Amendment 1 (2026-05-24)** and **implemented 2026-05-24** (plan: `docs/plans/20260524-adr-0006-undo-snapshots.md`; ring in `src/undo.rs`, worker hook in `src/db.rs`). Amendment 1 **supersedes the original "snapshots only before destructive operations" model**: a snapshot is taken before **every** data/schema mutation (DSL + SQL) for familiar single-step (Ctrl-Z) undo — so the confirmation collapses to *naming the one command being undone* (no db-diff). Snapshot is a **hybrid whole-project copy** — database via the online backup API **plus** `project.yaml`/`data/*.csv` as files — reconciling this ADR with ADR-0015's "text is authoritative, db is derived"; undo restores all three directly. Staged before the mutation's transaction, finalised after the db commit (preserves ADR-0015 §6 commit-db-last); rolled-back ops leave no snapshot. **Persisted** ring under `.snapshots/`, **N = 50** (raised from 10), git-ignored + export-excluded + temp-cleanup-aware. `redo` supported, **redo stack discarded on new work**. **Batch ops record one undo step** (`replay` + future batch via a Begin/EndBatch worker primitive); **`import` is outside undo** (it switches projects per ADR-0015 §11, leaving the current project untouched). A **`--no-undo` CLI flag** disables snapshotting (hardware escape hatch). Adds the `backup` feature to `rusqlite`
- [ADR-0007 — Sharing and export](0007-sharing-and-export.md)
- [ADR-0008 — Testing approach](0008-testing-approach.md)
- [ADR-0009 — DSL command syntax conventions](0009-dsl-command-syntax-conventions.md)
- [ADR-0010 — Database access via a dedicated worker thread](0010-database-access-via-worker-thread.md)
- [ADR-0011 — Foreign-key column type compatibility](0011-fk-column-type-compatibility.md)
- [ADR-0012 — Internal metadata for user-facing column types](0012-internal-metadata-for-user-facing-types.md)
- [ADR-0013 — Relationships, naming, and the rebuild-table strategy](0013-relationships-and-rebuild-table.md)
- [ADR-0014 — Data operations, value literals, and the auto-show pattern](0014-data-operations-and-value-model.md)
- [ADR-0015 — Project storage runtime](0015-project-storage-runtime.md) — **Amendment 1 (2026-05-31, issue #14):** the **input mode is per-project state in `project.yaml`** (a new optional `mode:` key under `project:`, alongside `created_at`), restored on every open and persisted as it changes — so a teacher can ship a project that opens in advanced mode, and a learner's last-used mode is restored per project. Mode is **live UI state, not schema** (`rebuild` ignores it) and **not stored in the database**: the persistence handle carries the current mode and the worker **stamps it into `project.yaml` on every write**, so a later command rewrites the live value rather than clobbering it (no preserve-the-old-value dance needed). Backward-compatible optional field (pre-#14 files default to `simple`, no migration). New CLI flag **`--mode simple|advanced`**, precedence **`--mode` > stored > `simple`**; combines with `--resume`. Mid-session `mode` changes persist via `Action::PersistMode` → `Database::set_mode` (immediate, crash-safe), and the mode is **persisted on unload** (quit + project switch) so the mode you leave a project in is always restored — deterministic, not selectively dependent on whether you ran a DDL (rejected as confusing) nor rewriting `project.yaml` on every read command (rejected for load-picker mtime churn). Switches save the outgoing project's mode, then restore the incoming project's stored mode via the `ProjectSwitched` event
- [ADR-0016 — Pretty table rendering for data and structure views](0016-pretty-table-rendering.md)
- [ADR-0017 — Column type-change compatibility](0017-column-type-change-compatibility.md)
- [ADR-0018 — Auto-fill contracts for `serial` and `shortid` columns](0018-auto-fill-contracts-for-serial-and-shortid.md)
- [ADR-0019 — Friendly error layer (H1) and i18n message catalog](0019-friendly-error-layer-and-i18n.md)
- [ADR-0020 — Tokenization layer for the DSL parser](0020-tokenization-layer-for-the-dsl-parser.md) — **Superseded by ADR-0024 (never implemented).** Specified a `chumsky`-over-tokens architecture (separate lexer, `define_keywords!`, `&[Token]` grammar). ADR-0024 adopted a scannerless hand-rolled walker and removed `chumsky` entirely; the lexer/keyword/token model here does not exist. Kept as institutional memory of the path not taken.
- [ADR-0021 — Parser-as-source-of-truth for H1a (per-command usage in parse errors)](0021-parser-as-source-of-truth-for-h1a.md) — **Mechanism superseded by ADR-0024; H1a scope continued in ADR-0042.** The *intent* (show the command's grammar at the point of error) shipped — `usage_ids` on each `CommandNode`, the `parse.usage.*` templates, and the `available_commands` fallback all exist — but via grammar nodes, not the `chumsky` `UsageEntry` registry / `parse.token.*` keys described here (which were never built).
- [ADR-0022 — Ambient typing assistance: colour, hint panel, completion (I3 + I4)](0022-ambient-typing-assistance.md) — **Amendment 1 supersedes §12's simple-mode-only carve-out**: the unified mode-aware walker (ADR-0030/0031/0032) now speaks SQL, so advanced-mode ambient assistance is re-enabled. `ambient_hint_in_mode` + `hint_resolution_at_input_in_mode` + `expected_for_hint_snapshot` thread `Mode`; `render_hint_panel` calls ambient for all modes (no more advanced-mode `None`); the one-shot `:` sigil is stripped before the ambient walk. Fixes a live bug where advanced-mode SQL hinting/completion-preview were dead despite Phase 2 marking them green (validated at the engine layer, not the UI). Simple-mode gating, highlighting, and the §13 performance posture are unchanged; covered by an app-level render test plus ambient-layer regression locks; **Amendment 2 reverses the handoff-14 keywords-first candidate ordering** — schema identifiers (table/column/relationship names) now sort *before* keywords so a name the user would have to look up stays visible in the single-row, window-scrolled candidate line (keywords are learned over time; the `tok_identifier`/`tok_keyword` colour split marks the boundary); shipped with a `walk_repeated` fix that surfaces a list item's trailing optionals at a clean boundary (`order by Name ` → `asc`/`desc`, `select Name ` → `as`, `create table … Code(text) ` → `not`/`unique`/`default`/`check`; the `,` separator deliberately not surfaced); records a deferred two-line hint box for growing lists; **Amendment 3 makes the ambient-hint fallback rung schema-aware** — Amendment 1's bottom-rung `parse_command_in_mode` was schemaless while every earlier rung was not, so between-values insert hints pointed at `)` (type-blind close) instead of `,` and wrong-arity closed tuples read "submit with Enter" for an input the schema-aware parse rejects (issue #2); now uses `parse_command_with_schema_in_mode`, no extra walk, with the friendly arity diagnostic still winning at its higher rung; **Amendment 4 gives column types a dedicated highlight class** — both `Node::Ident.highlight_override` *and* the `Word.highlight_override` field were dead (driver destructured the former to `_`, `walk_word` hardcoded `Keyword`); now both wired through, with a new `HighlightClass::Type` + eighth `Theme` field `tok_type` (a pink/deep-magenta distinct from both keyword purple and identifier teal) so types no longer render identically to identifiers (issue #8); the three `IdentSource::Types` slots opt in via `Some(Type)` (advanced-mode single-word SQL aliases — `float`, `varchar`, … per ADR-0035 §3 — ride along for free), and the two-word `double precision` alias opts in via the new `Word::type_keyword` constructor so it matches its synonyms; **Amendment 5 lets the hint panel grow for long prose hints** — a fixed one-row panel clipped long field-value/usage hints past the first line (issue #12); `resolve_hint_lines` now pre-wraps prose and `render_right_column` sizes the panel to the line count (1 row default, up to `MAX_HINT_ROWS`=3, reclaimed when short) with a `clamp_wrapped` ellipsis backstop; the candidate list still scrolls horizontally on one row (Amendment 2's deferred two-line candidate box stays deferred); also shortens the 299-char `parse.usage.sql_create_table` synopsis to a terse one-liner (full grammar remains in `help.ddl.sql_create_table`); **Amendment 6 adds a curated SQL function-name list** (`src/dsl/sql_functions.rs`, `KNOWN_SQL_FUNCTIONS` — aggregates + common + broader scalars; `cast` deliberately excluded as its `CAST(x AS type)` syntax isn't a plain-call shape) as the single source of truth shared by two consumers at the `sql_expr_ident` slot (ADR-0031 §1): **issue #15** offers the functions as Tab candidates under a new `CandidateKind::Function` + ninth `Theme` colour `tok_function` (a blue distinct from keyword/identifier/type, parallel to Amendment 4's `tok_type`) so a learner discovers `sum`/`upper`/…; **issue #16** restores the typing-time column-typo flag the issue-#6 fix had dropped wholesale at this slot — `invalid_ident_at_cursor` now bails only when the partial prefix-matches a known function, else falls through to the schema-column check, so `select Agx` warns again at typing time while `select sum` does not (the issue-#6 lockdown tests + the submit-time `unknown_column` diagnostic path are untouched, and the no-validation-allowlist posture stands); see ADR-0031's status note for the grammar-side anchor; **Amendment 7 surfaces optional positional args in the hint panel** (issue #26): at `seed <table> ▮` the optional row count (a bare `NumberLit` with no candidate) was invisible next to the `set`/`--seed` chips, and the resolver short-circuits on the already-complete command. Extends the issue-#4 `IntroProse` `HintMode` (ADR-0024 §HintMode-per-node) to survive trailing optionals: `walk_optional` stashes a skipped inner's `IntroProse` key into a new `WalkContext.surviving_intro_hint` (key + position) before the empty match clears `pending_hint_mode`, and the snapshot keeps it only when the skip position is the cursor (so it never leaks past a later-consumed `set …` clause or once the count is given); the resolver returns it ahead of the empty-expected short-circuit. The seed count is wrapped `Hinted{IntroProse("hint.seed_count")}`; prose names the count (default 20), the `.column` column-fill form, and `set`/`--seed` (user-chosen scope). Only `IntroProse` is carried; `ProseOnly`/`ForceProse` and the CREATE-TABLE element (a required `Repeated`) are untouched; no `AmbientHint`/renderer change
- [ADR-0023 — Unified declarative grammar tree](0023-unified-grammar-tree.md) — direction (superseded for execution detail by ADR-0024)
- [ADR-0024 — Unified grammar tree: execution plan](0024-unified-grammar-tree-execution-plan.md) — **Accepted**, the executable spec — implemented (Phases A–F; Phase F shipped "minimal", `parser.rs` retained as the router — see the ADR's Phase F implementation note)
- [ADR-0025 — Indexes](0025-indexes.md) — **Accepted** (**Amendment 1, 2026-05-25**: UNIQUE indexes admitted on the **advanced-mode** surface via `CREATE UNIQUE INDEX` — ADR-0035 §4d; the `IndexSchema.unique` flag round-trips through `project.yaml` with no new metadata table since the engine reports uniqueness natively; simple-mode `add unique index` stays deferred), `add index` / `drop index`, persistence, rebuild-table preservation, and items-list display (`C3` index portion + `S2`)
- [ADR-0026 — Complex WHERE expressions](0026-complex-where-expressions.md) — **Accepted**, stratified recursive expression grammar (`AND`/`OR`/`NOT`, comparisons, `LIKE`, `IS NULL`, `IN`, `BETWEEN`) for `update` / `delete` / `show data` filters; `show data` gains `where` + `limit`; adds the `Subgrammar` node and a recursive `Expr` AST (`C5a`)
- [ADR-0027 — Input-field validity indicator](0027-input-validity-indicator.md) — **Accepted**, a debounced `[ERR]` / `[WRN]` marker at the input row's right edge, backed by a walker diagnostics-severity model (parse-outcome + schema-existence); advisory, never blocks submission (`S6`); Amendment 1 adds a `LIKE`-on-numeric-column WARNING
- [ADR-0028 — Query plans (`EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN`)](0028-query-plans.md) — **Accepted**, an `explain` prefix command over `show data` / `update` / `delete`; an annotated, span-styled plan tree; introduces the `OutputLine` styled-runs mechanism (ADR-0016's deferred per-span styling) (`QA1` / `QA2`)
- [ADR-0029 — Column constraints (NOT NULL / UNIQUE / CHECK / DEFAULT)](0029-column-constraints.md) — **Accepted**, the four column-level constraints declared in the column-spec suffix (`create table` / `add column`) and modified on existing columns via `add constraint …` / `drop constraint …`; a pre-flight dry-run guards populated columns; `CHECK` reuses the ADR-0026 expression grammar via `Subgrammar` (`C3`)
- [ADR-0030 — Advanced mode: the standard-SQL surface](0030-advanced-mode-sql-surface.md) — **Accepted**, SQL added as grammar *within the unified grammar tree* (ADR-0024), not a separate batch parser — so SQL gets the same completion / highlighting / hints / parse-errors as the DSL; mode gates the SQL forms; DDL routes through the typed `Command` executor (metadata + type vocabulary preserved), DML and `SELECT` execute as validated SQL; engine-neutral posture, the DSL→SQL teaching echo; supersedes ADR-0001's `sqlparser-rs` reservation; phased plan (`Q1` / `Q2` / `Q4`); **§13 OOS-2 (EXPLAIN of advanced SQL) superseded by ADR-0039**
- [ADR-0031 — The SQL expression grammar](0031-sql-expression-grammar.md) — **Accepted**, the stratified SQL expression grammar fragment commissioned by ADR-0030 §3: a single precedence ladder (`OR`/`AND`/`NOT`, the comparison/`LIKE`/`IN`/`BETWEEN`/`IS NULL` predicate set, arithmetic incl. `||`, function calls, `CASE`) — the superset of ADR-0026's DSL `WHERE` grammar, authored as a parallel fragment so simple mode is untouched; pure validation, builds **no** AST (consumers run/store SQL as text per ADR-0030 §4/§6); reuses ADR-0026's `Subgrammar` recursion + depth cap unchanged; subquery expressions and qualified column refs deferred to ADR-0030 Phase 2; **status note (2026-05-30)** records that ADR-0022 Amendment 6 layers a curated known-function list on the `sql_expr_ident` slot (§1) for completion + the typing-time typo hint (issues #15/#16) — the grammar itself is unchanged, and the no-validation-allowlist posture stands
- [ADR-0032 — The full SQL `SELECT` grammar](0032-sql-select-grammar.md) — **Accepted**, the Phase-2 grammar commissioned by ADR-0030 §3: full `SELECT` with `INNER`/`LEFT`/`RIGHT`/`FULL OUTER`/`CROSS` joins, `GROUP BY`/`HAVING`, all four set ops (`UNION`/`UNION ALL`/`INTERSECT`/`EXCEPT`), `WITH` and `WITH RECURSIVE` CTEs, `LIMIT … OFFSET`, `DISTINCT`, `t.*`, and bare-alias projection (lifting Phase-1 §4.2); additive extensions to ADR-0031's `sql_expr` for scalar subqueries, `IN (SELECT …)`, `[NOT] EXISTS`, and qualified column refs (redeeming ADR-0031 §7 OOS-1/OOS-2); grammar-recursion via `Subgrammar(&SQL_SELECT_COMPOUND)` reuses ADR-0026's `MAX_SUBGRAMMAR_DEPTH = 64` cap unchanged; **softens ADR-0030 §8's "ambient assistance comes for free" claim**: completion scope needs new `WalkContext` accumulators (a `from_scope_stack` of `ScopeFrame`s holding `from_scope` / `cte_bindings` / `projection_aliases`), a **new walker node variant `Node::ScopedSubgrammar(&Node)`** as the push/pop trigger (existing `Node::Subgrammar` unchanged so DSL `Expr` and `sql_expr` recursion are unaffected), qualified-prefix completion narrowing, body-projection-derived CTE column resolution (so `SELECT *` and explicit-projection CTE bodies both yield real column completion past `cte_alias.|`), and a **post-walk fixup pass** that re-resolves projection-list identifier highlighting/validity once `FROM` is parsed (the projection-before-FROM problem); classifies every Phase-2 validation case against ADR-0027's ERROR/WARNING guideline (§11): five new `diagnostic.*` keys for parse-time-detectable cases (unknown qualifier, ambiguous column, projection-alias misplaced, CTE/compound arity mismatch) plus eight `engine.*` translation keys; a MatchedPath-walking predicate-warnings variant that closes the Phase-1 gap where SQL `WHERE` expressions emitted no `LIKE`-on-numeric / `= NULL` / type-mismatch warnings (ADR-0027 Amendment 1 finally extends to the SQL surface); adds a worker-side post-prepare type-resolution pass via engine column-origin metadata so bare column refs recover their playground type (partially lifting Phase-1 §4.5, the bool→0/1 case) — `Cargo.toml` gains `column_metadata` to rusqlite features (verified against pinned 0.39.0); `__rdbms_*` rejection extended to every new table-source slot; Amendment 1 narrows §12's resolution rule from a grammar-side structural classification to "trust the engine's column-origin metadata verbatim" after an empirical probe showed origin metadata follows through non-recursive CTEs, scalar subqueries, derived tables, set ops, and joins — the one structural exception is recursive CTE result columns, which return None and stay typeless; 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), and that the projection-before-FROM completion narrowing has been improved by an `src/completion.rs` look-ahead probe when the leading walk's `from_scope` is empty but the full input parses; **Amendment 3, 2026-06-12** (issue #31): a bare in-scope **table alias** at an expression slot (`… GROUP BY o`, `o` aliasing `FROM Orders o`) is no longer a blind spot — completion now offers each FROM source's qualifier (alias-if-present-else-table-name) at a bare `sql_expr_ident` slot (folded into the column candidate list; the alias source steps aside on an exact-qualifier partial so the diagnostic can surface), and the `matched.len()==0` bare-reference arm emits a targeted `diagnostic.alias_used_as_column` / `diagnostic.table_used_as_column` ("`o` is a table alias — write `o.<column>` …") instead of the misleading `unknown_column` (a drop-in replacement at the same span/`Error` severity, so verdict/overlay/hint paths are unchanged), checked after the projection-alias check so ORDER-BY alias refs still win; two guards keep the advice correct — **SQL-only** (`role == "sql_expr_ident"`, so the DSL `expr_column` path keeps `unknown_column` since the DSL has no `table.column` syntax) and **effective-qualifier match** (alias-if-present-else-table, so an aliased source referenced by its shadowed real name falls through rather than being advised as `name.<column>`); a genuine unknown column still reports `unknown_column`
- [ADR-0033 — The full SQL DML grammar (`INSERT` / `UPDATE` / `DELETE`)](0033-sql-dml-grammar.md) — **Accepted** (implemented + verified through sub-phase 3k, 2026-05-23; phase-exit report `docs/handoff/20260523-phase-3-verification.md`), the Phase-3 grammar commissioned by ADR-0030 §3: single- and multi-row `INSERT` (incl. `INSERT … SELECT` recursing through ADR-0032's `SQL_SELECT_COMPOUND`), `UPDATE` with `SET` assignment list, `DELETE`, all three optionally followed by `RETURNING projection_list`, plus full `ON CONFLICT … DO NOTHING / DO UPDATE` UPSERT on INSERT; **fixes the DSL-vs-SQL dispatch architecture for shared entry words (`insert`/`update`/`delete`)**: SQL-first / DSL-fallback in Advanced mode via a `Choice(SQL_shape, DSL_shape)` per shape, gated by a new walker capability `Node::Guard(fn)` — a zero-byte-consumption gating node that fails the enclosing Seq with a `ValidationError`; carries `Command::SqlInsert` / `SqlUpdate` / `SqlDelete` variants and `do_sql_*` worker handlers each of which knows the target table (for re-persistence) and the `returning: bool` flag (for DataResult routing); `shortid` auto-fill mirrors the DSL `do_insert` mechanism via worker post-fill; SQL DELETE produces the same per-relationship cascade summary the DSL DELETE does (ADR-0014 parity); three new walker diagnostics (`insert_arity_mismatch` ERROR, `auto_column_overridden` WARNING, `not_null_missing` WARNING) with positive + negative tests each; OOS list explicitly carves out `DEFAULT VALUES` (the project's planned seed feature), SQLite-specific `OR REPLACE` / `OR IGNORE` / `OR ABORT` / `OR FAIL` / `OR ROLLBACK` prefixes, `UPDATE FROM` multi-table updates, and WITH-prefixed DML; the `excluded` keyword inside `ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE` is a deliberate carve-out from ADR-0030 §7's engine-neutral posture (no standard-SQL UPSERT spelling exists that SQLite and PostgreSQL share); eleven phased sub-phases each with explicit exit gates + written DA gate, opening with the dispatch mechanism before any DML grammar lands; initial DA review recorded seven critiques that were resolved before status moved to Proposed; **Amendment 1 supersedes §2's dispatch mechanism**: the originally-chosen `Node::Guard(fn)` + `Choice(SQL_shape, DSL_shape)` was found during 3a to be unworkable as framed (any guard-in-`Choice` mechanism forces a `walk_choice` change — `walk_choice` only falls through on `NoMatch`, so Simple-mode valid-DSL would wrongly surface "this is SQL", and `walk_seq` treats a `NoMatch` past `idx 0` as a hard `Failed`, breaking Advanced-mode DSL fall-through); replaced by **category-grouped, mode-aware dispatch** in `walker::walk` (each `REGISTRY` entry tagged `CommandCategory::{Simple, Advanced}`, generalising the existing whole-command `is_advanced_only` gate), shared entry words carrying a node in both groups, no `Node::Guard` and no `walk_choice`/`walk_seq` change, advanced-mode completion SQL-first with DSL as a full-line fallback; **Amendment 2 (sub-phase 3f) supersedes §7's cascade mechanism**: the WHERE-injected per-child pre-count rested on a premise that was factually wrong about the DSL handler (which detects cascades by before/after row-count diffing inside a transaction, not by `Expr`-derived pre-count subqueries) and would have broken the §2 parity promise by reporting `SET NULL` the DSL path doesn't; replaced by mirroring `do_delete`'s count-diff exactly (verbatim DELETE executes, child-count diff observes the cascade — `ON DELETE CASCADE` row removals only, SET NULL deferred for both paths to preserve parity), which shares the render-layer formatter for free via `CommandOutcome::Delete` and **withdraws risk R2** (no WHERE-byte extraction, no N+1 subquery); **Amendment 3 (sub-phase 3j) records the command-identity model and defers the execution-mode side-channel**: a command is the typed outcome of a *mode-rooted* grammar path and its identity is intrinsic (Advanced mode tries SQL first, falls back to the *Simple* DSL command when no SQL branch matches a token, e.g. `delete … --all-rows`; note `update … --all-rows` does *not* fall back — the SQL `SET` expression eats `--all-rows`, harmless since the engine treats it as a comment); **Simple mode commits the DSL candidate for shared words** so the *real* DSL error surfaces, and when that line would also run in advanced mode the rendering layer **combines** them — DSL error **plus** an `advanced_mode.also_valid_sql` pointer ("… (valid as SQL in advanced mode)") — keeping the actionable DSL fix while pointing at advanced mode; bare "this is SQL" is reserved for entry words with no DSL form (`select`/`with`); a fully-overlapping input (`insert … values …`) legitimately yields *two distinct commands* (`Command::Insert` typed-AST vs `Command::SqlInsert` validated-text) that do the same thing but execute differently (ADR-0030 §4), so each is tested in the mode that produces it; **corrects the plan's 3j exit-gate premise** that the DSL DML tests run in Simple mode (they call `parse_command`, which defaults to Advanced) — the real invariant is "Simple-mode behaviour unchanged, Advanced mode SQL-first, DSL grammar tested in Simple mode, both variants tested in their producing mode", with §6/§7 parity keeping the paths observably equivalent; and **defers to its own future ADR** the execution-time mode side-channel (three-way `Mode`: simple/advanced/advanced-one-shot threaded through `Action`→worker, for mode-dependent *output* like echoing generated SQL) — today only the *rendering* side-channel `OutputLine.mode_at_submission` exists, and the three-way distinction is not required for Phase 3 dispatch correctness; **Amendment 4, 2026-05-27** (design agreed, pending impl): **reverses Amendment 3's `update … --all-rows` counter-example as a bug** — surfaced by the ADR-0038 echo design. The walker has no `--` comment support (it lexes two minus operators) while the engine treats `--` as a comment, so `update T set x=42 --all-rows` was silently parsed as the expression `42 - -all - rows` over **non-existent columns** `all`/`rows` (an ADR-0027 "flag-if-it-will-fail" case) and matched `SqlUpdate`. Decision: the `--all-rows` sequence makes the SQL `UPDATE` shape **fail**, so dispatch **falls back to the DSL `Update { AllRows }`** — symmetry with `delete … --all-rows`; no `--` comment feature introduced (trailing comments stay unsupported). Inverts `sql_dml_e2e.rs::e2e_update_all_rows_in_advanced_does_not_fall_back_to_dsl`; mechanism settled test-first in the build; folded into the ADR-0038 effort (makes `update … --all-rows` echoable); **Amendment 5, 2026-05-28** (implemented + verified, user-confirmed): `advanced_mode.also_valid_sql` (the cross-mode pointer from Amendment 3) fires on **validity**, not just **parse** — *"valid"* meaning `input_verdict_in_mode(input, schema, Mode::Advanced) == None` in the ADR-0027 sense (parse succeeds *and* no Warning/Error diagnostic from any pass). Surfaced by **issue #1**: a positional `INSERT INTO T VALUES (…)` (no column list) with a value count that didn't match the target's column count parsed in advanced but failed at the engine, so the syntactic-only Amendment-3 gate promised a mode switch that wouldn't help. Closes the gap by (a) extending `dml_insert_arity_diagnostics` (§8.1, previously Form A only — its own doc-comment deferred Form B) to also check the no-column-list form against the schema's column count, emitting a new `diagnostic.insert_arity_mismatch_form_b` ERROR per offending tuple, and (b) refactoring `advanced_alternative_note` to read the validity verdict instead of running its own bespoke check — any static diagnostic added to the pipeline in the future automatically participates in the pointer gate. Side benefit: the `[ERR]` validity indicator now lights up at typing time for the reported scenario, no longer needing a submit to learn the line is wrong. Tests pinned: `insert_form_b_arity_mismatch_under_supply_fires` / `_over_supply_fires` / `_match_is_silent` / `_unknown_table_is_silent` (walker); `ambient_hint_omits_advanced_pointer_when_form_b_value_count_wouldnt_match` (gate); `simple_mode_submit_of_sql_construct_appends_advanced_pointer` (pointer still fires for genuine SQL-only constructs against a known schema). Amendment 3's "would parse in advanced mode" should henceforth be read as a synonym for "valid in advanced mode" in this stricter sense; the user-confirmed behavioural change is exactly the issue #1 bug case (no other input flips its pointer state)
- [ADR-0034 — `history.log` as a complete command journal; replay reads success-only](0034-history-journal-and-replay-filter.md) — **Accepted**, resolves a three-way tension in `history.log`'s roles found while implementing ADR-0033 3f: (1) the persistent log is success-only while the in-memory Up/Down recall ring records *every* submission (success or failure, "so users can recall and edit typo'd commands"), and the ring is re-seeded from the log on project open — so **failed commands are recallable within a session but silently lost across sessions**; (2) replay wants the state-building (successful) commands while recall wants everything typed, which one success-only file cannot serve; (3) `replay history.log` never actually worked — `run_replay` parses each whole line through the DSL parser with no understanding of the `<ts>|<status>|<source>` record shape, so a real log fails on line 1, and **no test ever fed the pipe format to replay** (the `replay_history_log_records_subcommands_only` test only checks what replay *writes*, never replays the log as input). Decision: `history.log` becomes a **complete journal** — every submission recorded, tagged `ok`/`err` via the status field the format already reserved (ADR-0015 §5) — and **each consumer filters**: hydration reads all records (cross-session recall matches in-session), replay reads `ok` only (and learns the journal format, while still accepting bare-command `.commands` scripts; detection by the leading timestamp+status prefix so a `|` inside a bare command isn't misread). Successful commands stay journalled transactionally by the worker; failed commands are journalled `err` best-effort from the runtime/app error path (a parse failure never reaches the worker). Amends ADR-0006's "successfully executed" wording and ADR-0015 §5 ("status always `ok`") / §12 (hydration). Code deferred to two tracked test-first sub-tasks (journal-failures+filtering; replay-parses-journal-format); existing all-`ok` logs need no migration; **implemented 2026-05-24** (plan `docs/plans/20260524-adr-0034-history-journal.md`); **Amendment 1 (2026-05-24): replay filters out app-lifecycle commands** — a working `replay history.log` (the §3 fix) exposed that the journal also records `save as`/`load`/`new`/`export`/`import`/`rebuild`/`mode` (which would panic the worker dispatch or abort the replay), so replay now re-applies **only** schema/data write commands and **skips** every `Command::App` + nested `Command::Replay`; **all skips continue** (never abort — reversing the prior nested-`replay` refusal, so a journal containing a once-run `replay` needs no hand-editing, and the infinite-loop footgun is closed by construction), with a `[skip]` **warning** on `import` and nested-`replay` skips (their omission can leave replayed state incomplete) and silent skips for the rest; `replay.error_nested` removed, `replay.skipped_import`/`replay.skipped_replay` added, `ReplayCompleted` carries `warnings`
- [ADR-0035 — Advanced-mode SQL DDL](0035-advanced-mode-sql-ddl.md) — **Accepted** (design agreed 2026-05-24; validated end-to-end by sub-phases 4a/4a.2/4a.3/4b `CREATE TABLE` (incl. foreign keys) + 4c `DROP TABLE [IF EXISTS]` + 4d `CREATE [UNIQUE] INDEX` / `DROP INDEX [IF EXISTS]` + 4e `ALTER TABLE` add/drop/rename column + 4f `ALTER TABLE … ALTER COLUMN TYPE` + 4g `ALTER TABLE` add/drop constraint + add FK + 4h `ALTER TABLE … RENAME TO` + 4i verification sweep (completion merge + simple/advanced completion colour + describe of table-level constraints + self-ref FK indicator + CREATE-TABLE help/usage), implemented 2026-05-25/26 — **Phase 4 complete**; **Amendment 1, 2026-05-26**: drop a composite UNIQUE via a derived, engine-neutral `unique_<cols>` name that reuses the existing `DROP CONSTRAINT <name>` grammar — no new syntax, no metadata, §4g anonymity intact; `describe` shows the name; dropping a UNIQUE-covered *column* now refuses with that name + the drop command), **Phase 4** of the ADR-0030 roadmap (peer of 0031/0032/0033) and **clarifies ADR-0030 §4**. Advanced-mode `CREATE`/`DROP`/`ALTER TABLE` + `CREATE`/`DROP INDEX` get their **own per-statement commands** (`SqlCreateTable`/`SqlAlterTable`/`SqlDropTable`/`SqlCreateIndex`/`SqlDropIndex`), like DML's `Sql*` set — but unlike DML they **execute *structurally*, not verbatim** (raw execution would lose the playground's types, named relationships, and `STRICT`; "verbatim" was a DML convenience, not a rule). Handlers **reuse the low-level schema/metadata helpers** where the operation matches simple mode and **stand alone where the SQL surface is richer** (clarity over forced refactoring); simple mode is untouched (additive). Dispatch: `create`/`drop` reuse ADR-0033 Amendment 1's category-grouped mode-aware dispatch (SQL-first, simple fallback); `alter` is a new advanced-only entry word. Full surface (no pre-emptive cuts, `Q4`): `CREATE TABLE` with column + table constraints, single/compound `PRIMARY KEY`, inline + table-level `FOREIGN KEY` → **named relationships** (one statement = one command = **one undo step**, ADR-0006); `ALTER TABLE` add/drop/rename column, `ALTER COLUMN TYPE`, add/drop constraint, add FK, **`RENAME TO`** (advanced-only table rename — new low-level op renaming the table + its CSV + the relationship and table-CHECK metadata, closing the rename half of `C1`); `CREATE [UNIQUE] INDEX` / `DROP INDEX`. Type slot accepts the ten playground keywords **and** standard-SQL aliases (`integer`→`int`, `varchar`→`text`, `timestamp`→`datetime`, …; length args accepted-and-ignored; no engine type names in/out — ADR-0030 §5). `CHECK`/`DEFAULT` reuse ADR-0031 `sql_expr`. **Pre-implementation `/runda` refinements (2026-05-24, user-confirmed):** `CREATE TABLE`/`DROP TABLE` **admit `IF [NOT] EXISTS`** (no-op-that-succeeds-with-a-note — a near-universal cross-vendor idiom, reclassified *into* scope, not engine-specific); `INTEGER PRIMARY KEY` maps to a **plain `int`** PK, *not* auto-increment (`serial` stays the sole auto-increment type). **Column-type-conversion is unified** (ADR-0017 engine, mode-appropriate policy): clean auto-converts and incompatible/own-type-static cases refuse in both modes, but a **lossy** change refuses-by-default in simple mode (`--force-conversion` opts in) while advanced mode **performs it with a loss note** and relies on **`undo` as the safety net** — no force flag, no dropping to simple mode (a payoff of shipping ADR-0006 first). OOS: views/triggers/txn-control/PRAGMA/etc. (ADR-0030 §3), the Postgres `USING` clause, and the DSL→SQL teaching echo (ADR-0030 Phase 5). Sub-phases 4a–4i, plus **4a.2** (per-column `CHECK`/`DEFAULT` via raw `sql_expr` text — `sql_expr` is validate-only, no `Expr` AST — + composite `UNIQUE(a,b)`; no new internal table) and **4a.3** (table-level/multi-column `CHECK`, landed via the new `__rdbms_playground_table_checks` metadata table because SQLite has no PRAGMA for CHECK; the builder tells a table-level CHECK from a column-level one by element position) and **4b** (foreign keys — inline `REFERENCES` + table-level `FOREIGN KEY` → ADR-0013 named relationships in the create transaction, one undo step; self-references + bare `REFERENCES <parent>` supported, user-confirmed) and **4c** (`DROP TABLE [IF EXISTS]` → `SqlDropTable`, reusing `do_drop_table`; `IF EXISTS` is a no-op-with-note via `DropOutcome::Skipped`) and **4d** (`CREATE [UNIQUE] INDEX [IF NOT EXISTS] [<name>] ON <T> (cols)` → `SqlCreateIndex` and `DROP INDEX [IF EXISTS] <name>` → `SqlDropIndex`, reusing `do_add_index`/`do_drop_index`; **`CREATE UNIQUE INDEX` admitted** — ADR-0025 **Amendment 1** — via an additive `IndexSchema.unique` flag that round-trips through `project.yaml` and rebuild, with `[unique]` markers in the structure view + items panel, while simple-mode `add unique index` stays deferred; `IF [NOT] EXISTS` reuses the 4c skip path; `create`/`drop` each gain a *second* advanced node, exercising the all-candidates dispatch) and **4e** (`ALTER TABLE` add/drop/rename column → `SqlAlterTable`; `alter` is a new advanced-**only** entry word, runtime-decomposed to the existing `do_add_column`/`do_drop_column`/`do_rename_column` — no new worker layer; `do_add_column` extended to consume raw `default_sql`/`check_sql` so ADD COLUMN reaches CREATE-TABLE constraint parity; drop/rename refuse a column any CHECK references (table-level AND column-level, incl. a column's own self-check on rename) — the 4a.3 deferral, via a raw-CHECK-text tokenizer in the shared executors, so it guards both surfaces and fixes a latent rename-drift bug; SQL DROP COLUMN refuses an index-covered column with no `--cascade` spelling; the column executors + `do_add_index` gained an internal-`__rdbms_*`-table guard — all user-confirmed) and **4f** (`ALTER TABLE … ALTER COLUMN TYPE` → a fourth `AlterTableAction`, runtime-decomposed to the existing `change_column_type` with `ChangeColumnMode::ForceConversion` — which **is** the §7 advanced policy: lossy converts *with a note* (no force flag), incompatible + ADR-0017 static refusals (`↔ blob`, same-type, `date ↔ datetime`, non-`int → serial`) still refuse, while **`int → serial` is allowed** (auto-fills nulls + UNIQUE, ADR-0018 §8 — the §7 "→serial refused" summary is looser than the code); the builder discriminates the fourth branch by the **`type` keyword** (unique — ADD COLUMN's type is an ident), the type slot reuses `SQL_TYPE`; the internal-`__rdbms_*` guard was folded into `do_change_column_type`, closing the simple `change column` exposure too — user-confirmed) and **4g** (`ALTER TABLE … ADD [CONSTRAINT <name>] (CHECK | UNIQUE | FOREIGN KEY)` + `DROP CONSTRAINT <name>`; ADD = CHECK + composite UNIQUE + FK, with `ADD PRIMARY KEY` and a *named* UNIQUE refused — composite UNIQUE is anonymous in our model; each ADD reuses a low-level path (table-CHECK/UNIQUE rebuild with a dry-run guard; FK → `add_relationship`, bare `REFERENCES <P>` → parent single-PK), DROP CONSTRAINT resolves the name to a table-CHECK then a child-side FK; **named table-CHECKs round-trip** via a nullable `name` column on `__rdbms_playground_table_checks` (**rebuild-only** arrival — pre-4g projects gain it on `rebuild`, a named add on an un-upgraded project is refused with a friendly "rebuild first" message) *and* a `project.yaml` `check_constraints` extension to an `{expr, name}` mapping (the bare-string form still reads); the internal-`__rdbms_*` guard was folded into `do_add_constraint`/`do_add_relationship`, completing that guard class — all user-confirmed) and **4h** (`ALTER TABLE … RENAME TO` — the one genuinely new low-level op, `do_rename_table`: a native engine rename plus one-transaction reconciliation of every metadata row naming the table (`__rdbms_playground_columns`, **both ends** of `__rdbms_playground_relationships`, `__rdbms_playground_table_checks`), the CSV file (the existing rewrite+delete path — no new persistence method), and **CHECK text that qualifies a column with the old table name** (`T.age`→`U.age`, a planning-`/runda` finding — the engine rewrites the live CHECK but the stored text would drift and break a fresh rebuild; `rewrite_check_table_qualifier` keeps them in step); grammar splits the `rename` verb into one branch with an inner Choice on a distinct second keyword (`column` vs `to`), the new-name slot mirroring the `CREATE TABLE` name slot; refuses same-name / existing-target / `__rdbms_*` / non-existent, with **case-insensitive** collision checks behind an engine-neutral pre-check (a finished-slice `/runda` finding — the engine matches names case-insensitively); auto-named indexes *and* relationships keep their stale names (only table-name columns update — §6 scope); one undo step; advanced-only, closing the rename half of `C1` — all user-confirmed) and **4i** (the verification sweep that completes Phase 4: the shared-entry-word completion merge + the simple-vs-advanced completion colour-when-mixed with Both→Advanced→Simple block ordering; `describe` of table-level composite UNIQUE + table CHECK; the self-ref FK pre-submit indicator fix; and the CREATE-TABLE help/usage skeleton refresh). **All of Phase 4 (4a–4i) is shipped.** Each sub-phase has exit + DA gates; **Amendment 2, 2026-05-27** (design agreed, pending impl): a **standard-first dialect stance** (refines ADR-0030's "standard SQL" posture — ISO spelling is canonical + echoed where one exists; a vendor shorthand may be *accepted* but isn't canonical; where ISO offers none, *one* documented vendor spelling is a deliberate extension) + an `ALTER COLUMN` **constraint gap-fill** surfaced by the ADR-0038 echo design: makes ISO `ALTER COLUMN … SET DATA TYPE` the canonical type-change verb with `TYPE` retained as a synonym (**reverses §4f's "no `SET DATA TYPE`"**), and adds `SET/DROP DEFAULT` (ISO) + `SET/DROP NOT NULL` (the one documented extension — ISO has no in-place NOT-NULL verb; PostgreSQL's chosen for being type-independent), all **rebuild-backed via the existing ADR-0029 `do_add_constraint`/`do_drop_constraint` executors** (dry-run + internal-table guards free, no new worker layer), reaching simple↔advanced constraint-mod **parity for NOT NULL + DEFAULT**; the **rebuild stays hidden** (Category-1 engine detail, ADR-0038). Residual gap left open + flagged: dropping a **column-level (anonymous) UNIQUE/CHECK** (no portable name — same class as Am1's parallel gap), which ADR-0038's catalogue marks "no headline echo"
- [ADR-0036 — Value validation for advanced-mode DML](0036-typed-dml-values-vs-verbatim.md) — **Accepted** (design agreed + `/runda`'d 2026-05-26; mechanism then **deliberately narrowed** from "bind literals via the DSL path" to surgical **"validate-and-retain, execute verbatim"** after the user resisted consolidating the modes and a concrete auto-fill difference confirmed even the single-row literal case isn't identical across modes; **Phases 1–2 implemented** 2026-05-26 — `INSERT … VALUES` and `UPDATE … SET` literal validation + offending-value retention, capture-at-parse with no grammar change; **Phase 3a implemented** 2026-05-26 — live typed-slot hints + numeric-shape highlighting for `UPDATE`/UPSERT `SET col = <literal>` via a boundary-aware lookahead (Amendment 1 corrects this ADR's naive-`Choice` sketch); **Phase 3b implemented** 2026-05-27 — per-position typed slots for `INSERT … VALUES` (single/multi-row, Form A/B) via a new zero-width `Node::SetColumn` primitive + an arity-gating tuple lookahead that preserves the §8.1 arity diagnostic; **fully implemented**). **Augments — does NOT supersede — ADR-0030 §4 / ADR-0033 §10**: execution stays verbatim, ADR-0033 Amendment 3's two-command identity (`Insert` vs `SqlInsert`) **stands**. The problem (investigated 2026-05-26; characterization test `sql_insert.rs::sql_dml_skips_app_level_value_validation_that_the_dsl_enforces` proves it): advanced-mode SQL DML gets **none** of the DSL's value feedback — a malformed `date` like `2025/01/15` is silently written, and the offending value is missing from constraint errors — because literal values are spliced into text and discarded (only `STRICT` storage types check them). **Fix (surgical): validate each literal value against its column type before the verbatim insert, and retain it for error reporting — sharing only the per-type validators (`Value::bind_for_column`/`validate_date`/`shortid::validate`), nothing else.** No binding, no statement reconstruction, no auto-fill change, no command-identity collapse — because the two gaps are closed by validation + retention alone, and executing the user's own text is already safe. The literal set = `NULL`/boolean/string/**signed**-numeric; arithmetic/functions/subqueries/column-refs are expressions (skipped — the engine evaluates them). `WHERE` not validated (it's an expression in general; motivation met by `VALUES`/`SET`); `SELECT`/`INSERT … SELECT`/`RETURNING`/`ON CONFLICT` need no special handling since execution is untouched. Phased: **Phase 1** capture-at-parse + validate + retain for `INSERT … VALUES` (no grammar change, no reparse — closes both proven gaps); **Phase 2** `UPDATE … SET` literals; **Phase 3** completion hinting/highlighting (the only part needing a grammar change — a typed-literal slot vs `sql_expr` reusing the DSL `TypedValueSlot`s at `data.rs:141`/`189`/`269`, discriminated by a **boundary-aware lookahead** not a naive `Choice` per **Amendment 1**; split into **3a** `SET` (done) and **3b** `VALUES` (pending); supersedes only Phase 1/2's literal *detection*, not the validation/enrichment on top). Non-goals: binding/reconstruction, collapsing command identity (Am3 stands), changing `serial`/`shortid` auto-fill (`requirements.md` **X4**, a separate possible-bug), a structural `SELECT`, a full SQL-expression AST. Embodies `requirements.md` **X5** (share a *mechanic*, not a *command*); the neutral "that value" safety net (ADR-0035 Amendment 1) stays correct for genuinely-computed values; **Amendment 2 (issue #17, 2026-05-29)** brings the §8.1 arity diagnostic to **simple mode** at parity with advanced: a `tuple_value_list`-style gate (`dsl_insert_value_list`, **simple-mode-gated** so advanced is byte-for-byte unchanged) routes a wrong-count DSL insert tuple to the type-blind fallback so it matches and the friendly arity diagnostic fires (instead of a bare `expected `,`/`)``); `dml_insert_arity_diagnostics` is now mode-aware (advanced Form B = all columns, simple Form B/C = user-fillable since serial/shortid auto-fill, ADR-0018 §3), counts the DSL Form A role (`insert_first_item`) and the keyword-less Form C tuple, with new keys `insert_arity_mismatch_form_b_simple` / `_all_auto`; a wrong-count DSL insert now parses `Ok` + carries the ERROR diagnostic (the `[ERR]` verdict), with a unified Ok-arm submit pre-flight (`dsl_insert_count_mismatch_notes`) blocking dispatch + teaching (the issue #1 Err-arm note retires). **Arity-UX parity only — no consolidation of value-handling/execution/auto-fill; the deliberate mode-distinctness stands**
- [ADR-0037 — Execution-time mode side-channel (the three-way submission mode)](0037-execution-time-mode-side-channel.md) — **Accepted** (design agreed 2026-05-27; channel **implemented + verified end-to-end** by its motivating consumer — ADR-0038's fully-shipped DSL → SQL teaching echo — across handoff-46 `04c8e42` (channel + first echo slice), handoff-47 `90479cb` (full Bucket A), `275c726` (Bucket B resolved-name + multi-statement renderers), `e6ad1ae` (the category-3 `--dont-convert` caveat — gated on this channel too), and `2aab457` (the §4 styled-runs rendering polish)), **redeems the follow-up deferred by ADR-0033 Amendment 3** (which named this ADR and its motivating consumer). Establishes the channel that lets a command know, **at execution time**, the effective mode it ran under — so execution can adjust **output** without touching **identity** (the motivating case: a DSL-form `create table` echoing the equivalent SQL when run in advanced mode, silent in simple — ADR-0030 §10, realised by ADR-0038). Introduces a **new per-submission enum `SubmissionMode` { Simple, Advanced, AdvancedOneShot }** — *refining* Amendment 3's "widen `Mode`" sketch: the persistent input `Mode` stays **two-way** (`mode.rs` keeps the one-shot `:` out of persistent state), and the three-way distinction lives on the per-submission channel where the transient `:` belongs. Resolved at submit time (Simple+`:` → `AdvancedOneShot`; Advanced `:` is a no-op), threaded through `Action::ExecuteDsl` → worker, **output-only** (no executor branches its *effect* on it — Amendment 3 forbids behavioural mode dependence). The worker builds the teaching echo (+ category-3 expansion data — ADR-0038) for DSL-form commands in advanced/one-shot mode and returns it; the App renders it beneath `[ok]`. Co-located with execution because the echo's harder forms (resolved auto-names, generated `shortid`s, conversion counts) are worker-computed facts, and gating on mode means the work happens only when shown. Alternatives weighed + rejected: widening `Mode` (conflates transient/persistent state); App-side gating with the worker always emitting echo data (computes unconditionally, doesn't generalise, re-opens the render-side framing ruled against). Scope: channel + resolution rule only — the renderer/catalogue/`Value → SQL-literal` are ADR-0038, the `ALTER COLUMN` gap-fill is the ADR-0035 amendment. **Amendment 1 (2026-05-31, issue #10):** the output **tag** is colour-coded by message **status** (its `OutputKind`), not the mode — *narrowing* the side-channel to its stated purpose (the mode tint lives on the **echo** tag alone). `[system]` tag → green, `[error]` tag → red, `Echo` tag → mode tint (the sole exception); **bodies go neutral** (`theme.fg`), the error body **bold** (rustc-style: severity-coloured label, readable bold message — a wall of red prose is harder to read). Yields a status traffic-light (green = ok, red = error) matching the ADR-0040 ✓/✗ markers; supersedes issue #10's three sketched options and closes the tag-colour gap ADR-0040 had flagged as orthogonal
- [ADR-0038 — The DSL → SQL teaching echo](0038-dsl-to-sql-teaching-echo.md) — **Accepted** (design agreed 2026-05-27; **fully implemented + verified** — every catalogue row in §7 Buckets A + B and the §6 category-3 prose round-trips per line through the advanced walker per §1, and the §4 de-emphasised styled-runs polish is wired: handoff-46 `04c8e42` shipped the channel + create-table slice, handoff-47 `90479cb` the full Bucket A expansion + a skeleton contract-gap fix (dropped per-column `DEFAULT`/`CHECK`), `275c726` the Bucket B resolved-name + multi-statement renderers (auto- and user-named `add index`, positional `drop index`, `add`/`drop relationship` in both selector forms, `drop column --cascade`, `add relationship --create-fk`), `e6ad1ae` the last category-3 line — the `change column --dont-convert` *caveat* (shortid + transform notes were already surfaced via pre-existing `client_side.*` keys), and `2aab457` the §4 styled-runs polish: a new `OutputKind::TeachingEcho` custom rendering branch (dimmed `Executing SQL:` prefix + the SQL re-lexed in advanced mode for token-class colouring, same as the input echo) plus a new `OutputStyleClass::Hint` for every cat-3 prose line — caveat *and* the existing illuminating notes, user-confirmed broader scope), **realises ADR-0030 §10** (the teaching bridge) — the Phase-5 echo **ADR-0035 §12 forward-referenced** — building on **ADR-0037** (the `SubmissionMode` gate) and **ADR-0035 Amendment 2** (standard-first dialect + `ALTER COLUMN` gap-fill). When a **DSL-form** command runs in advanced/one-shot mode, the worker emits the equivalent SQL beneath `[ok]` as a de-emphasised styled `OutputLine` (ADR-0028); the App renders it. **Defining invariant — the copy-paste contract:** every echoed line is *runnable advanced-mode SQL* (round-trip-tested: parse the echo → same-effect command; a planned "copy the echo" affordance depends on it). **Type vocabulary = the playground's own keywords** (`serial`/`shortid`/…, accepted by `from_sql_name`, decision (a)); **statement shape = the standard-first dialect** (Am2). **DML uses substituted literals, not `?`** (per-type `Value → SQL-literal`, round-trip-safe; `blob` moot — no literal syntax exists; auto-gen columns omitted to match `do_insert` + X4). **Firing reality — a DDL + `show data` feature:** in advanced mode `insert`/`update`/`delete … where` are SQL-first (`Sql*` = already SQL = nothing to echo per §10); only DSL-*only* spellings echo (DDL + `show data` + the `delete`/`update … --all-rows` fall-throughs — the latter via **ADR-0033 Amendment 4**, a bug-fix folded in here that reverses Amendment 3's `update … --all-rows` misparse). **Three-category framework** for "what happens beyond the literal SQL": **(1) engine-implementation-hiding** (the rebuild, rowid PK, non-PK `serial` MAX+1) — *never surfaced*; **(2) decomposable into advanced SQL** (`drop column --cascade`, `--create-fk` relationship) — *shown as the runnable multi-line sequence, one statement per line*; **(3) playground type-behaviour with no SQL-expressible form** (`shortid` generation — no `shortid()`; type-conversion transforms — no `USING`) — *de-emphasised prose expansion from the worker's `client_side.*` notes*. Carries the **full catalogue** (Buckets A single-statement / B resolved-name + multi-line / C no-echo) mapping every DSL-form command to its echo. OOS: reverse SQL→DSL echo (§13 OOS-5), app commands / `show table` / `explain` / `replay`, a `blob` literal, the column-level UNIQUE/CHECK drop residual (Bucket C until Am2's gap closes), and surfacing any category-1 engine internal
- [ADR-0039 — EXPLAIN over advanced-mode SQL queries](0039-explain-over-advanced-sql.md) — **Accepted** (2026-05-27), **implemented 2026-05-30 (issue #7)**, **supersedes ADR-0030 §13 OOS-2**. Lets `explain` wrap the advanced SQL commands (`Select`/`SqlInsert`/`SqlUpdate`/`SqlDelete`, plus `with`/CTE which builds a `Select`) in addition to the DSL `ShowData`/`Update`/`Delete` it already covers (ADR-0028), running `EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN` over the validated SQL text through the existing ADR-0028 span-styled plan tree (advanced mode only; DSL `explain` unchanged in both modes). Implemented via a second `Advanced` `explain` CommandNode (`EXPLAIN_SQL`) registered under the shared `explain` entry word — reusing the established `insert`/`update`/`delete` shared-word dispatch (`decide`: SQL-first / DSL-fallback), so `explain show data …` and DSL-only `--all-rows` still reach the DSL node; rejected a `DynamicSubgrammar` mode-gate (its resolution cache key omits `mode`). `build_explain_sql` slices the inner SQL off the source (excludes `explain`) and reuses the existing SQL builders; `do_explain_plan` runs the carried text verbatim, no params. Advanced `explain update`/`delete` now route through SQL (identical plan, full SQL syntax); DSL-explain tests pinned to simple mode. Reframed OOS-2 as a *deferred* exclusion (per ADR-0000's out-of-scope discipline), not a rejection. OOS (deferred): EXPLAIN of DDL (no query plan exists)
- [ADR-0040 — A per-command completion marker (✓/✗) replaces the `[ok]` summary line](0040-completion-marker-replaces-ok-summary.md) — **Accepted 2026-05-30 (issue #9)**, amends ADR-0014 / ADR-0028 / ADR-0019 output conventions, builds on ADR-0037's mode-tagged echo. An audit of the whole command surface found the `[ok] <verb> <subject>` summary line duplicates the echo line above it (verb+subject) everywhere; its only unique contribution is the success-vs-error signal (and `explain select` even rendered `[ok] explain` with an empty subject post-ADR-0039). Decision: drop the `[ok]` line and the symmetric `"…" failed:` prefix; the echo line gains a trailing inline **✓** (green, success) / **✗** (red, failure) — `running:` becomes a pending state that resolves to `<input> ✓/✗` on completion (status set via the existing `rfind(Echo)` lookup). Content (row counts, structure, data, plan tree, teaching echo) unchanged. Scoped to the DSL/data/SQL family that has the redundant echo+`[ok]` pair; app-command `[ok]` lines (`rebuild`/`export`/`now editing`) are payload-bearing, have no echo to mark, and stay as-is. `ok.summary` retired; `dsl.failed` reduced to the rendered reason. Broad but mechanical snapshot churn. OOS: app-command `[ok]` lines, the `[WRN]` validity indicator, and the tag colours (issue #10)
- [ADR-0041 — Copy the output panel to the system clipboard](0041-copy-output-to-clipboard.md) — **Accepted 2026-06-02 (issue #11)**, amends ADR-0003's app-command registry (adds **`copy`** / `copy all` / `copy last`). The friction it removes: filing a bug report meant terminal-selecting the output panel and fighting wrapping/borders. New **app-level command** (sigil-free, both modes): `copy` / `copy all` copy the whole panel; `copy last` copies from the most recent echo line to the end. **Mechanism — OSC 52 *and* native (`arboard`), always both**, because OSC 52 acceptance is undetectable (no terminal ack), so a true "fall back when unsupported" can't be built: emit the OSC 52 escape (no new dep — `base64`+`crossterm`; works over SSH; tmux-passthrough-wrapped via `$TMUX`), then a best-effort native write whose failure is ignored (headless host — OSC 52 carried it); the two carry identical content. **Format — plain text verbatim as rendered** (tags, `✓`/`✗`, box-drawing) joined by `\n`, without viewport padding/wrapping; a drift-lock test pins `OutputLine::plain_text` to `render_output_line`. `arboard` added **`--no-default-features`** (drops the `image` crate; X11-only on Linux — `wayland-data-control` deliberately omitted as it ~doubles the dep tree and OSC 52 covers native-Wayland). Security: write-only, scans clean for arboard's tree (cargo audit / osv-scanner / grype), 1Password-maintained, minimal surface. OOS: Markdown export, selection/range, a keybinding, OSC 52 read, `screen` passthrough
- [ADR-0042 — H1a parse-error pedagogy in the grammar-tree era](0042-h1a-parse-error-pedagogy-grammar-tree.md) — **Accepted 2026-06-03.** Continues **H1a** from ADR-0021 against the ADR-0024 grammar tree (ADR-0021's chumsky mechanism is dead). Records the **baseline already shipped** — per-command `usage:` block (38 `parse.usage.*` templates), available-commands fallback, structural "after `…`, expected …" wording, source-derived ident slot labels ("table name"/"column name"), curated `parse.custom.*` near-miss messages, and the ADR-0027/0033/0036 schema-aware `[ERR]` diagnostics — so H1a is *substantially* delivered at the intent level. Defines the remaining work as **(1)** a verified per-command **near-miss matrix** (`tests/typing_surface/` + `tests/it/parse_error_pedagogy.rs`) as the definition of done, test-first; **(2)** **friendlier literal expectation labels** — optional prose glosses on `Word`/`Punct`/`Flag` positions that *add* role context while always keeping the exact literal visible (e.g. "a filter clause: `where …` or `--all-rows`"); **(3)** **advanced-mode SQL** near-miss parity (RETURNING scope, CTE-arity positioning, `CROSS JOIN … ON`, INSERT…SELECT count) — **in scope**, kept distinct from ADR-0019 §OOS-2 which covers advanced-SQL *engine*-error sanitisation, a different layer. Catalog/anchor-phrase discipline (ADR-0019) preserved; no public API change. OOS: I3/I4, spell-correction, multi-error reporting, verbosity-gating the usage block
- [ADR-0043 — Compound-primary-key foreign-key references (T3)](0043-compound-pk-foreign-key-references.md) — **Accepted + implemented 2026-06-09** (all four forks confirmed at the recommended option: full-PK matching, house-style uniform lists, parenthesized DSL syntax, bare-SQL-FK auto-expansion). Closes `requirements.md` **T3** `[x]` — the relationship model went list-based across six layers (single-column preserved, no migration), DSL `from P.(a,b) to C.(x,y)` + SQL `FOREIGN KEY (a,b) REFERENCES P(x,y)` parse/execute/enforce, 12 tests in `tests/it/compound_fk.rs`. Closes the open leg of `requirements.md` **T3**: a foreign key that *references* a parent's compound primary key. A 2026-06-09 audit found single-column FK woven through ~15–20 sites (metadata table, `RelationshipSchema`, `project.yaml` `RawEndpoint`, both grammar surfaces, executor FK-DDL emission, per-column type-compat, display) — earns an ADR, not an inline build. **Decision:** reference the parent's **full** compound PK, matched **positionally** to an equal-length child column list, per-pair `fk_target_type` compat (ADR-0011, element-wise); DSL `from <P>.(a, b) to <C>.(x, y)` (single form unchanged), SQL `FOREIGN KEY (x, y) REFERENCES P(a, b)` (extend the existing one-cap lists; bare table-level FK auto-expands to the parent PK when arities match). **Storage — no migration (back-compat not required, user-confirmed 2026-06-09; no installed base):** the relationship endpoint joins the list convention `project.yaml` *already* uses — `columns: [a, b]` like `primary_key: [id]` and index `columns: [...]` (the endpoint was the lone scalar `column:` holdout); the metadata `TEXT` columns are unchanged and store the list **comma-joined** (`a,b`; the bare name for single — safe because identifiers are `[A-Za-z0-9_]+`). No F3 migrator, no version bump; accepted trade-off is that a pre-change `project.yaml` with relationships won't load (clean cutover). In-memory model goes list-based (`Vec<String>`) through all six layers; the enforced FK is the rebuilt child-table DDL (`FOREIGN KEY (a,b) REFERENCES P(x,y)`), one relationship = one undo step (ADR-0013). Genuine forks escalated: matching policy (full-PK vs subset), storage (house-style uniform lists vs normalized table), DSL syntax (parenthesized vs repeated-dotted), bare-SQL-FK auto-expansion. OOS: subset/non-PK (UNIQUE-targeted) FK references; any single-column behaviour change
- [ADR-0044 — Relationship visualization (two-table connector diagrams)](0044-relationship-visualization.md) — **Accepted 2026-06-09; implemented 2026-06-10** (closes `requirements.md` V1; second `/runda` pass over the implementation; §3 last-resort helper line considered and rejected). Resolves **ADR-0016 OOS-1** and closes the open half of `requirements.md` **V1** ("a selected relationship as two tables joined by a line"). Renders a relationship as **Style A** (two structure boxes + connector). **Reach = "relationship-relevant"** (user-chosen over global / show-only): diagrams on the surfaces where the relationship is the *subject* — `show relationship <name>` (one full diagram), `show table <T>` (T's structure box then a **Relationships** section of **stacked compact** per-relationship diagrams — chosen over a focal-centred subgraph: no crossing lines, scales via scroll, two-boxes-wide fits any terminal), and relationship DDL echoes (`add`/`drop`/`modify relationship`); incidental DDL echoes (`add column`, `drop index`, `change column`, plain `create table`) keep the terse prose, via a `Diagram`|`Prose` render mode on `render_structure`. Reading convention **child(FK)-left / parent-right, arrow →, `n`…`1` cardinality**, applied uniformly; every box gets a **bold title row + rule** so the name can't read as a column. **Compound FKs** (ADR-0043) route one connector per positional pair + an explicit pairing line. **Width-aware** (first in the codebase) but **App-side**: `render_structure`/diagram rendering runs in `app.rs` (the worker only returns `TableDescription`s), a new `App::last_output_width` (set from `ui.rs`) drives side-by-side vs a **vertical-stack** fallback + last-resort "run `show relationship`" pointer; rendered once at command time, **no live reflow** (V4). `show relationship`'s worker path (`do_show_one`, prose-only) is restructured to return both endpoint `TableDescription`s. Styling reuses **ADR-0028** App-side styled runs (new classes: table-name/key/connector/cardinality/action) — no worker→UI contract change. **Partially supersedes ADR-0016 §5** (prose block replaced on relationship-subject surfaces, retained on incidental ones); extends §4 (layout width-awareness, still no cell truncation) and §6 (per-span theming). Tests: insta snapshots (single, compound, vertical fallback, helper line, self-referential, multi-rel `show table`) + width-threshold/routing unit tests + Tier-3 wiring; enumerated prose-fallout updates (`output_render.rs:121/135/793`, the relationships snapshot, `walking_skeleton.rs:477/530`). A `/runda` DA pass corrected three inverted-architecture claims (App-side rendering, untracked width, prose-in-worker show-relationship) before acceptance. OOS: user-configurable display setting (OOS-7), live reflow (V4), whole-DB ER export (V3), m:n (C4), ASCII fallback (ADR-0016 OOS-5)
- [ADR-0045 — `create m:n relationship` convenience command (C4)](0045-mn-convenience.md) — **Accepted + implemented 2026-06-10** (closes `requirements.md` **C4**; all forks user-confirmed + a `/runda` DA pass that verified the `do_create_table` reuse against code and corrected the "no PK-less tables" assumption — advanced SQL `create table t (a int)` has none, so a parent-PK guard is retained). Implementation corrected a second ADR premise: "the walker already dispatches multiple nodes per entry word" held only in *advanced* mode — two simple-mode spots (dispatcher `decide`, completion continuation-merge) assumed ≤1 DSL form per entry word and were generalized **behaviour-preservingly** (dispatch reduces to the old single-candidate commit; completion merge gated on `simple_count > 1`). Junction echo wired (`render_create_m2n`, round-trips as SQL). `create m:n relationship from <T1> to <T2> [as <name>]` generates a junction table with one FK column per parent PK column, a **compound PK over all the FK columns** (the textbook junction — the pair is unique, no duplicate links), and **two 1:n relationships**, all in **one transaction = one undo step** (built by reusing `do_create_table`, which already takes `foreign_keys` + writes relationship metadata — no batch bracketing). Forks all user-chosen: junction PK = compound-over-FKs (vs surrogate serial / no PK); referential actions = **`CASCADE`** on delete+update (vs NO ACTION / RESTRICT); naming = auto `{T1}_{T2}` + optional `as` (vs auto-only); available in **both modes** (Simple-category DSL, like the sibling relationship commands). FK columns named `{parent_table}_{pk_column}` (disambiguates shared `id`; generalises to compound parents via ADR-0043), typed via `fk_target_type` (ADR-0011). A distinct `Command::CreateM2nRelationship` (not lowered to `CreateTable`) preserves command identity (X5) and lets the teaching echo speak in m:n terms. Cross-cutting wiring enumerated: separate `CREATE_M2N` `CommandNode` (own `help_id`/`usage_ids`), `("m","m:n")` completion composite, `HintMode`s, grammar-driven highlighting, `help`/`help create`, `parse_error_pedagogy` near-miss matrix, teaching echo. OOS: **self-referential m:n** (`from T to T`) refused outright (user-confirmed "full stop" — directional column-naming is more than this beginner convenience warrants); per-relationship action overrides; extra junction payload columns; m:n diagram echo; renaming the auto-generated relationships
- [ADR-0046 — Schema sidebar focus/navigation mode and responsive input & hint layout (UI #20/#21/#23)](0046-sidebar-navigation-and-responsive-input-hint.md) — **Accepted + implemented 2026-06-10, phased A→B→C** (8 commits `9f5f76b`…`22bec61`; closes Gitea **#20** hint jumpiness, **#21** left-column improvements, **#23** long input — all forks user-confirmed, including the persistent show/hide toggle which is **deferred**: the Ctrl-O peek covers #21's "keystroke to show and hide"). Two decisions landed differently from the draft (recorded inline): relationship data on **`App`** not `SchemaCache` (DB2); the nav overlay clears **only the sidebar strip + a one-column gutter**, panels staying visible behind (DC2). Treats the three UI issues as one coupled decision because they share the terminal's width/height budget. **Phase A (input & hint):** the hint panel's height becomes a function of **terminal geometry, fixed between resizes** (not of hint content), eliminating the #20 jump at its source — measured catalog shows ≥ ~54-col right-column width never needs > 2 hint lines, so 3 lines is a rare narrow-terminal-only case; height buckets `H<40` compact (input 1 row + horizontal scroll / hint 2) vs `H≥40` comfortable (input 2 rows soft-wrap / hint 2), output `Min(5)` honoured first under degradation; input gains horizontal scroll (`input_scroll_offset`, single logical `String` — **not** I1 multi-line) and 2-row soft-wrap display when tall, preserving ADR-0027's 6-col indicator reserve. **Phase B (sidebar):** the 26-col Tables column is **kept but made optional and richer** (not deleted — pedagogy wins ties) — **width-derived session-only** visibility (visible iff width > 90 or a Ctrl-O peek is active — no stored field; hides at width ≤ 90 so the 90-col screencasts drop it; ADR-0015 format untouched), plus a **relationships panel** rendered narrow with endpoints broken at the arrow, ellipsized — a **separate sibling panel** that **overrides S2**'s nested-list extension model (relationships are cross-table). the full records live on a new **`App.relationships`** field (revised from the ADR's original `SchemaCache.relationship_details` at implementation — `SchemaCache` is walker-facing and needs only the names, kept in `relationships: Vec<String>`; details are UI-only, so `App` mirrors `app.tables` and avoids ~23 fixture edits), delivered by `Database::read_all_relationships` + an `AppEvent::RelationshipsRefreshed`; the two left panels split vertically with the relationships panel floored at 5 rows ("(none)" when empty) and capped at 50 % of the column (DB4). **Phase C (navigation mode):** **`Ctrl-O`** enters a focus cycle (Input → Tables → Relationships → Input; `Esc` exits) orthogonal to the ADR-0003 input mode — **`Ctrl-B` was rejected on review as the default tmux prefix** (unreachable inside tmux); the focused panel **expands to ~40–50 cols as a `Clear` overlay** (right panels stay unchanging underneath) and scrolls via **Up/Down (line) + PageUp/PageDown (page)** (context-rebind, reusing the output-scroll viewport mechanism), with an accent focus border; all non-nav keys inert in nav mode (and nav keys inert while a modal is open). Forks all user-chosen: keep-optional-richer (vs remove/narrow); navigation-mode (vs modeless modifier scroll); `Ctrl-O` (Ctrl-B rejected = tmux prefix); overlay (vs layout re-split); inert-non-nav-keys; geometry-fixed hint height; `H<40/≥40` thresholds; session-only persistence; Up/Down line-scroll; **separate relationships panel overriding S2**; **no hint-area toggle** (S4's stale "keyboard-toggleable" claim struck — never implemented, unwanted). A pre-build `/runda` DA pass drove these corrections: caught the `Ctrl-B`/tmux collision, the `SchemaCache` retype that would have broken completion, the 2-row-input/indicator placement, the missing nav-mode key disposition + modal gate, and three unreferenced requirements (S1 evolved, S2 overridden, S4 corrected); also cross-checked open issue **#22** (overlay/annotation layer — separate ADR, adjacent). OOS: true multi-line input (I1); readline shortcuts (I1b); cross-session sidebar persistence; output as a third nav focus; relationship search/edit from the panel; hint-area toggle; #22's annotation layer. Accepted consequence: the 90-col visibility threshold makes a terminal's output *narrower* when widened across the boundary (sidebar appears); **Amendment 1, 2026-06-12** (issue #25): DC3's focus accent is now a **non-bold accent colour** (`theme.mode_simple`, blue) rather than bold bright-`fg` — bold box-drawing glyphs render as broken/gapped line-art in the asciinema cast player (and are fragile in some terminals), so `panel_border_style` carries no `Modifier::BOLD` on a border (bold stays fine on text spans); pure style change — the text-only Tier-2 snapshots were unaffected, the Tier-1 assertion was updated, and a render-level test now checks the focused border cells carry the accent and no bold
- [ADR-0047 — Demonstration overlay layer (keystroke badges + step captions)](0047-demonstration-overlay-layer.md) — **Accepted 2026-06-10; implemented 2026-06-11, phased A→B→C (closes Gitea #22)** (commits `f879d54`→`2d0f4b2`; no `requirements.md` item — tracked by issue + ADR per convention; all forks user-confirmed + a pre-build `/runda` pass that produced 10 tightening findings and a whole-implementation `/runda` pass that returned PASS, no blockers). An in-app **demonstration mode** (`--demo` flag / `RDBMS_PLAYGROUND_DEMO` env, **off by default, zero footprint when off**) that renders two transient overlays so `autocast` screencasts — and live teaching, and a future guided-lesson system — can show otherwise-invisible interactions. **Keystroke badges** (`[TAB]`, `[ENTER]`, `[UP]`, …): **automatic, app-detected** over a fixed set of glyph-less keys (the app already sees every key, so it re-records for free), label via a pure `demo_badge_label(&KeyEvent)`; the badge **auto-expires on a ~1.5 s timer** that extends the runtime's existing time-boxed-`recv` arm condition (`debounce.is_armed() || badge_pending`; expiry `Instant` in the runtime, `App.demo_badge` the render mirror — mirroring the `input` vs `input_indicator` split). **Step captions**: a **stealth, control-code-delimited input buffer** toggled by **`Ctrl+]`** (byte `0x1D` → arrives as `Char('5')+CONTROL`, verified against crossterm 0.29 `parse.rs:110-113`; chosen over `Ctrl+!`, which is **not a single ASCII byte so autocast cannot send it** — the same wall as arrow keys, R4) — typed characters accumulate **invisibly** (prompt untouched, no echo/history), `Backspace` edits, other keys inert, a second `Ctrl+]` **commits** to the caption box (empty commit dismisses); lives in pure-sync `App::update()`, **intercepted before the modal gate** so captions/badges work **over the load picker** (the `#24` projects cast). Both render as **floating flat black-on-yellow rectangles** (solid fill, **no border glyphs** — a one-cell text margin, deliberately unlike the app's bordered panels; user decision post-build, `2d0f4b2`) **at the output panel's inner bottom-right**, drawn **last over modals**, badge **stacked above** the caption, **no layout reflow**; caption **word-wraps to ≤ 3 lines** (3–5 rows), badge fixed 3 rows; clamp/skip guard for tiny terminals; a new **`App.last_output_area: Rect`** (set in `render_output_panel`) gives the top-level draw the anchor. Caption persists **until the next keystroke**; badge suppressed while capturing. Forks all user-chosen: `--demo` activation (vs hidden command / chord); automatic badges (vs scripted); stealth buffer (vs typed-command / preloaded-file); floating bottom-right boxes (vs HUD / banner / subtitle); `Ctrl+]` trigger; wrap-to-3-line captions; ~1.5 s badge / next-keystroke caption timing. Tested test-first across Tier 1 (label fn, capture state machine incl. over-modal + demo-off gate, nearest-deadline helper), Tier 2 (insta snapshots: badge/caption/both-stacked at 90×26 light+dark, short-terminal clamp), Tier 3 (`--demo` plumbing, badge set/suppressed, caption-without-input wiring), CLI (`--demo` parse + env fallback) — with an **honest limit** noted: the `tokio` timer wiring inside `run_loop` is exercised via the pure pieces + Tier-3 plumbing, not a standalone integration test of the timeout (same posture as the existing `IndicatorDebounce`). One intentional, user-acknowledged behaviour: `Ctrl-C` is inert while capturing (every non-`Ctrl+]` key is, by spec). Final tally **2290 passing / 0 failing / 0 skipped** (1 long-standing ignored doctest), clippy clean. OOS: scripted/manual badge push; badges for glyph keys; configurable styling/placement; the guided-lesson system itself (own ADR); cross-session/-switch persistence; localised caption content; arrow-only cast interactions (output-pane scroll); wiring the overlays into the website `casts.mjs` scripts (website-branch follow-up). Implementation phased **A** (`--demo` plumbing) → **B** (badges) → **C** (captions) + a flat-rectangle restyle
- [ADR-0048 — `seed` fake-data generation command](0048-seed-fake-data-generation.md) — **Accepted 2026-06-11; Phase 1 + Phase 2 implemented 2026-06-11** (Phase 1 commits `202e25a`→`fbd219b`; design settled with the user across an extended fork dialogue, hardened by a pre-build `/runda` pass (six blockers folded in), a post-implementation `/runda` pass (eight gaps closed — FK/shortid determinism so **D4 holds with no exceptions**, plus six untested ADR decisions), and a Phase-2 pre-build `/runda` pass (which caught the no-date-literal-token reality → the D2 quoted-dates amendment), and a post-implementation `/runda` pass (which added a friendly error for a bounded override on a UNIQUE column — see D2); **2400 tests pass, clippy clean**). Closes `requirements.md` **SD1** and the core of **SD2**; closes the `seed` half of **A1**. **Phase 1 shipped:** whole-row `seed <table> [count] [--seed <n>]` with realistic name-aware generation (the `fake` crate + a type-gated heuristic catalogue, table-context name disambiguation, hand-rolled `product` generator, bounded dates), identifier + constraint uniqueness incl. junction distinct-combos, FK sampling from existing parent rows (empty-parent error), `IN`-CHECK derivation + complex-CHECK advisory, a required-column block guard, `--seed` reproducibility (serial/FK/shortid all deterministic), undo as one batch step, replay as a data write, a capped auto-show preview, the enum/CHECK advisory, and an O(N) single-transaction insert path. **Phase 2 shipped (2026-06-11):** the `set` override clause (D2 — fixed value / pick-list / `as <generator>` / `between` range, **quoted** dates per the D2 amendment, type-aware, override drops the column from the advisory) and the `<table>.<column>` column-fill form (D1 form 2 — an UPDATE over existing rows, refusing PK/autogen targets, empty-table no-op, FK/unique-respecting, one undo step), with the new `KNOWN_GENERATORS` vocabulary (D9), a range `Generator`, full completion/highlight (`HighlightClass::Function`)/validity (`IdentSource::Generators`)/help/pedagogy wiring, and the D13 advisory's Phase-2/3 wording. Further SD2 increments (custom generators, NULL injection, multi-locale, recursive auto-seed) out of scope. Closes `requirements.md` **SD1** and the core of **SD2**; closes the `seed` half of **A1** (the other being `hint`/**H2**). A dedicated `seed` command (own AST variant + `do_seed` executor, **both modes**) generating **realistic, name-aware** fake data. Two forms: **`seed <table> [count]`** (new rows, default **20**, capped) and **`seed <table>.<column>`** (fill a column on existing rows, an UPDATE). Generation adds the **`fake` crate** (v5, English) driven by a **type-gated, token-matched name-heuristic catalogue** (~30 patterns, documented false-positive guards), with **table-context** disambiguating the `name`/`title` family (`products.name`→product, `users.name`→person, `vendors.name`→company), a **hand-rolled `product` generator** (`fake` has no commerce module), **bounded dates** (`date`/`timestamp`/`dob`/`*_at` recognised, recent windows — never "all of history"), the **identifier family** (`id`/`code`/`ref`/`number`, non-FK/non-PK) → **unique sequential**, and **enum-ish names** (`role`/`status`/`type`/…) left generic + a **post-seed Hint advisory** pointing at `set … in (…)`. A **`set` override clause** — `= value` / `in (a,b,c)` / `as <generator>` / `between a and b` (numeric **and** date), reusing ADR-0026 operators — answers the heuristic-miss case. **`--seed <n>`** makes runs reproducible (and enables exact-value tests). **FK** columns sampled uniformly from existing parent rows (**empty parent → friendly error**, no recursion v1); **junction/compound-PK** tables seeded with **distinct combinations**, capped + noted (SD1). A **required-column block guard** refuses rather than NULL-violate a `NOT NULL` column it can't fill (e.g. `NOT NULL blob`). Full ambient wiring (completion incl. a new generator-name vocabulary highlighted as `tok_function`, hints, `help seed`, ADR-0042 near-miss matrix, ADR-0027 validity); **no DSL→SQL teaching echo** (seed is a utility command, not a SQL twin). Honours **X5** — `do_seed` reuses insert/update *mechanics as helpers*, not by emitting `Command::Insert`. Implementation phased: (1) core whole-row seed → (2) `set` overrides → (3) column-fill. Deferred (future SD2): recursive auto-seed, NULL injection, multi-locale, user-defined custom generators, full per-column report. **Amendment 1, 2026-06-12** (issues #33/#34): two additive D7 catalogue rules — **year-as-int** (`year`/`*_year`/`published`/`founded` → a bounded `int` year, 1950–2025, or the `dob`-style birth window 1945–2007 for `birth`/`born`/`dob`; fixes nonsense like `9419`; `int`-gated, after the quantity rule so `year_count` stays a count; two new `YearRecent`/`YearBirth` generators, *not* added to the D9 vocabulary) and **conventional choice sets** (`priority`/`prio`, `severity`, `rating`/`stars` → type-gated built-in `PickFrom` value sets reusing the existing generator; `priority` leaves `ENUM_TOKENS`). `status` is **deliberately excluded** (user-confirmed — values too domain-specific; keeps the D12 "don't guess" + advisory); a user `IN`-CHECK still wins. Website `seed` cast re-record tracked on the `website` branch
- [ADR-0049 — Input-field readline keymap: Esc-clear + Ctrl-A/E/W/K/U (I1b)](0049-input-field-readline-keymap.md) — **Accepted + implemented 2026-06-12 (issue #29)**, closes Gitea **#29** and the deferred **I1b** readline requirement. **Amends ADR-0046**, which listed "readline shortcuts (I1b)" as out-of-scope — that item is now in scope and decided here; orthogonal to ADR-0003's input-*mode* model and extends the I1a single-line cursor editing already shipped. Binds, in the input field (non-modal, non-nav, both modes): **`Esc`** clears a partly-typed command (empty buffer, cursor→0, scroll→0); **`Ctrl-A`/`Ctrl-E`** alias Home/End (line start/end); **`Ctrl-W`** deletes the previous word (readline-style — eats trailing whitespace then the preceding non-whitespace run, UTF-8-safe on char boundaries, only back to the cursor); **`Ctrl-K`** kills to end of line; **`Ctrl-U`** kills to start. **Esc precedence:** a live Tab-completion memo still wins (Esc undoes the completion first, ADR-0022; Esc clears only when no memo) — Esc-once backs out the completion, Esc-again clears. Forks all user-chosen: **single-Esc-clears** (not double-Esc — discoverable over accident-proof; an unsubmitted draft can be lost, a submitted line is always in history); the **full I1b set** (not just the issue's literal Ctrl-A/E + Esc); a **new ADR** (not an ADR-0046 amendment / no-ADR). Cursor-only keys (Ctrl-A/E) leave history navigation intact like Home/End; buffer-mutating keys (Esc-clear, Ctrl-W/K/U) end it like Backspace. Helpers `clear_input`/`delete_prev_word`/`kill_to_end`/`kill_to_start` in `src/app.rs`; **22 new Tier-1 tests, 2458 pass / 0 fail / 0 skip (1 ignored), clippy clean**. OOS: on-screen keybinding hints (issue #27 owns surfacing per-focus keybindings in the bottom status line — this ADR makes the keys *work*, #27 makes them *discoverable*); demo-mode badges for the new chords (ADR-0047 follow-up — Esc already badges `[ESC]`, the glyph-less Ctrl-chords are flagged but not added); multi-line input (I1); word-wise cursor motion (Alt-B/F) / transpose / yank
- [ADR-0050 — Incidental-DDL confirmations omit relationship info (structure-only)](0050-incidental-ddl-confirmations-omit-relationships.md) — **Accepted + implemented 2026-06-12 (issue #28)**, closes Gitea **#28**. **Supersedes** the incidental-DDL clause of **ADR-0044 §1** and the relationship-block half of **ADR-0016 §5**. Incidental-DDL confirmation echoes (`create table`, `add`/`drop`/`rename`/`change column`, `add`/`drop index`) now render **structure only** — header + column box + `Indexes:` + constraints — with **no `References:` / `Referenced by:` block** (neither prose nor diagram), even when the table carries relationships the user did not touch. Rationale (owner): a confirmation echo reports the change just made, not untouched relationships; ADR-0044's terse prose was the lesser of "prose vs diagram", but the right answer for these surfaces is **neither**. **Relationship-subject surfaces are unchanged** — `show table`, `add`/`drop relationship`, `show relationship` still render ADR-0044 diagrams; relationships appear only when the user asks for (`show table`) or acts on (`add`/`drop relationship`) one, and are one `show table <T>` away — **no information lost**. Forks both user-chosen: **scope = all incidental DDL** (not just `add column` — the rationale is uniform, the mental model clean, and it's the simpler edit) and **delete the prose renderer** (not retain it dormant — no dead code). **Mechanism:** the `handle_dsl_success` `matches!` routing is unchanged (relationship-subject → diagrams; else → `render_structure`); the change is one line inside `render_structure` (`output_render.rs` — drop the relationship-block call) since all its callers are incidental DDL, plus deletion of the orphaned `relationship_prose_lines` + `cols_disp` helpers. The prose format survives in ADR-0016 §5 + git history for a future OOS-7 always-prose setting. **Tests:** the prose-presence unit test + its snapshot removed; a new unit test asserts `render_structure` on a description carrying **both** inbound and outbound relationships emits the box but no prose; the misnamed `add_relationship_flow_shows_inbound_section_on_parent` integration test (which sent an `AddColumn`) inverted + renamed to assert the add-column echo omits the prose; the diagram tests (`show table`, `add relationship`) unaffected. **2458 pass / 0 fail / 0 skip (1 ignored), clippy clean**. `requirements.md` unaffected (ADR-tracked refinement of a decided area, like ADR-0044 itself)
- [ADR-0051 — Bottom keybinding strip: context- and state-aware](0051-context-state-aware-keybinding-strip.md) — **Accepted + implemented 2026-06-13 (issue #27)**, closes Gitea **#27**. Repurposes the bottom status line into a **keystrokes-only, state-selected** strip (builds on ADR-0046 nav focus, ADR-0003 modes, ADR-0049 the #29 readline keys it now advertises, ADR-0022 the completion memo). A pure `status_bar_bindings(app) -> Vec<(key,label)>` chooses the strip by **priority, first match wins**: (1) **sidebar focus** → `Ctrl-O next pane · ↑↓/PgUp/PgDn scroll · Esc input`; (2) **completion memo live** (`last_completion`) → `Tab/Shift-Tab cycle · Esc cancel · Enter run`; (3) **history navigation** (new `App::is_browsing_history()` exposing the private `history_cursor`) → `↑↓ browse · Esc clear · Enter run`; (4) **editing** (input non-empty) → `Esc clear · Ctrl-A/E home/end · Ctrl-W del word · Enter run` (surfaces the #29 keys, closing ADR-0049's deferred advertisement); (5) **default** (empty) → `Ctrl-O sidebar · Tab complete · ↑ history · Enter run`. Priority is correct because Up clears the completion memo and Tab cancels history nav, so states 2/3 never co-occur, and the five are exhaustive for Input focus. **Typed-command words leave the strip** (`mode advanced`/`mode simple` switch, `:` one-shot) and **mode discovery moves to the empty-input hint** (`resolve_hint_lines`), **simple mode only**: `\`mode advanced\` for SQL` (the verb "type" omitted — the prompt implies it; advanced mode shows **no** pointer per a post-trial user decision — a switcher knows how they got there and `help` covers the way back). The one-shot's old `Backspace cancel one-shot` label is subsumed by the editing state (behaviour intact). Forks all user-chosen: **editing state shows the #29 keys** (vs unadvertised); **`Ctrl-C quit` omitted** from the strip (vs always shown); **no width-drop machinery** — the longest strip (~65 cols) fits all supported widths, so a **width-budget unit test** keeps it lean by construction instead (the user's own observation). Catalog: 12 new `shortcut.*` labels + the `panel.hint_mode_advanced` string added to `en-US.yaml`+`keys.rs` (validator-checked 1:1), 5 now-dead strip strings removed. **Modal-aware strip is OOS** (pre-existing: a modal owns the keyboard and carries its own hints; the strip under it is unchanged-in-kind, not worsened). Tests: 9 Tier-1 unit (per-state key sets — completion/history driven through real key events; width budget; mode-pointer presence/absence), 1 Tier-3 rewritten (`status_bar_is_keystroke_only_and_state_aware`), 15 full-panel snapshots re-accepted (reviewed — strip/hint only). **2467 pass / 0 fail / 0 skip (1 ignored), clippy clean.** OOS: modal-aware strip; a full-key cheatsheet overlay; Ctrl-K/U advertisement (editing strip shows the highest-value subset within the width budget)
- [ADR-0052 — Mode-tagged history for cross-mode recall](0052-mode-tagged-history-cross-mode-recall.md) — **Accepted + implemented 2026-06-13 (issue #30)**, closes Gitea **#30** — the feature (advanced history reusable in simple mode) **and** the bug in its comment (the `:` one-shot prefix lost across sessions). **Amends ADR-0034** (status field gains a `:adv` tag; **journaling moves from the worker to the dispatch layer**), **ADR-0015 §5/§6** (history.log leaves the worker transaction — `commit-db-last` now scopes yaml/csv/db only), and **ADR-0040** (a success-path journal-write failure is best-effort, not fatal); references ADR-0003. **Root cause:** history carried no mode, and the in-memory ring stored the raw `:select 1` while the worker journalled the *stripped* `select 1`, so the `:` was lost on disk. **Fix:** record the submission mode per entry as a **`:adv` suffix on the status token** (`ok`/`ok:adv`/`err`/`err:adv`) — `source` stays last + canonical so replay is unaffected; the in-memory ring (still `Vec<String>`) stores advanced entries in their `: `-prefixed simple-mode runnable form (a leading `:` unambiguously marks advanced since simple DSL never starts with `:`); recall **strips the `:` in advanced mode** (runs as bare SQL) and keeps it in simple mode (runs via the one-shot escape); hydration reconstructs the `: `-prefix from the tag, so cross-session = in-session. **The architectural turn (user's call):** the first draft kept journaling in the worker + threaded the mode down (~30-site plumbing); on review the user asked why the journal is written deep in the worker when the *failure* path already journals at the top of the chain — it shouldn't (history.log is a journal, not state). So **success journaling moved up** to `spawn_dsl_dispatch` / `run_replay` / the app-command sites (next to the failure path), the worker's `finalize_persistence` now writes only yaml/csv, and the journal write became **best-effort** (the command is already committed — consistent with the failure path; a rare disk-full leaves a committed command unjournalled, state intact). **App commands** journal simple (dispatched outside the spawn) and `submit` excludes them from the ring's advanced flag, so `undo`/`mode advanced` recall bare. Forks user-chosen: status-tag format (vs 4th field / `:`-in-source); unified scope; **dispatch-layer best-effort journaling** (vs worker-coupled-fatal). Two `/runda` passes (the second drove the relocation + app-command exclusion). Tests: the 15 worker-level journaling tests retired (worker no longer journals — yaml/csv/operation checks kept), re-covered at the new layer (history.rs status-tag + `:`-reconstruct; app.rs recall matrix; the #30 cross-session regression in `iteration6`; replay tests cover `run_replay` journaling). **2471 pass / 0 fail / 0 skip (1 ignored), clippy clean.** replay re-journaling mode-fidelity (a replayed advanced line re-journals simple — not a regression). **Follow-up done 2026-06-14:** the vestigial worker `source` plumbing was fully unwound (compiler-guided, no behaviour change) — `_source` removed from `finalize_persistence`/`do_rebuild_from_text`, the three `*_request` wrappers inlined+deleted, the dead `source` param dropped from the ~30 forwarding worker handlers, and the `source` field removed from the `DescribeTable`/`QueryData`/`RunSelect` requests + their `DatabaseHandle` methods (~164 mostly-test call sites); the only worker `source` left is the snapshot/undo label (see ADR-0052 *Consequences*)
- [ADR-0053 — Contextual `hint` command and keybinding](0053-contextual-hint-command-and-keybinding.md) — **Accepted, implementation pending (2026-06-14)**. Settles the `hint` slot ADR-0003 left "ADR pending"; closes the last open piece of **A1** and tracks requirements **H2**. **Two surfaces:** an **F1 keybinding** that renders a deep hint for the *live* partial input without submitting (the primary path — a submitted `hint` command can't see the buffer it would help with, since Enter empties it), and a submitted **`hint` command** that expands on the *most recent error*. **No topic argument** (contextual only — `help <topic>` already owns explicit reference). Introduces a **tier-3 teaching layer**, deeper than the existing tier-1 (colour / error headline) and tier-2 (ambient one-liner; and the error `hint:`, which is shown **by default** since `Verbosity::Verbose` is the default — `messages short` is the opt-*out*); without it `hint` would just duplicate what's already on screen. Tier-3 content lives in the catalogue under `hint.cmd.<hint_id>` (per command form) and `hint.err.<class>` (per error/diagnostic class), each a structured `what`/`example`/`concept` block rendered via a new `note_hint*` family with `OutputStyleClass::Hint`. **Keyed on a new `hint_id` field on `CommandNode`, not `help_id`** (`/runda` correction): `help_id` is not 1:1 with command forms — the 7 advanced-mode SQL nodes carry `help_id: None` purely to dedup the `help` *list*, so they'd be unkeyable and would wrongly share their simple sibling's content despite different syntax; a dedicated `hint_id` gives every one of the ~37 REGISTRY nodes its own mode-correct block (the parallel `help`-side gap is tracked as issue **#36**). Two error routes share `hint.err.*`: pre-submit `diagnostic.*` read live from the walker (F1 path), runtime `translate_error` classes via stored `last_error_hint_key` (`hint` command / empty-F1). Adds `AppCommand::Hint`, a `HINT` grammar node + REGISTRY entry, the `hint_id` field, and `last_error_hint_key`; F1 is a read-only overlay (buffer + completion memo untouched). **Content is the bulk of the work** (the mechanism is ~a day): **comprehensive for v1** — ~37 command forms + 9 runtime error classes + ~33 `diagnostic.*` classes ≈ 80 teaching blocks — authored **exemplars-first** (voice approved in this ADR's `/runda` review, then mass-authored in batches), enforced by a **comprehensiveness coverage test** (every node/error class has a key), with graceful fall-back to tier-2 if a key is ever missing. Forks user-chosen: two-surface model; **F1** (vs `?` / a chord); no-arg; comprehensive scope; exemplars-first. OOS: per-topic `hint <topic>` (rejected — overlaps `help`); always-on tier-3 (rejected — keeps ambient terse); non-`en-US` locales + success-command teaching (deferred); the `help`-side advanced-SQL gap (issue #36)
