• ADR-0020 — Tokenization layer for the DSL parser
• ADR-0021 — Parser-as-source-of-truth for H1a (per-command usage in parse errors)
• ADR-0022 — Ambient typing assistance: colour, hint panel, completion (I3 + I4)
• ADR-0023 — Unified declarative grammar tree — direction (superseded for execution detail by ADR-0024)
• ADR-0024 — Unified grammar tree: execution plan — 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 — Accepted, add index / drop index, persistence, rebuild-table preservation, and items-list display (C3 index portion + S2)
• ADR-0026 — Complex WHERE expressions — 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 — 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) — 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) — 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)
