feat: note silent row loss on joins in sql_execute results - #1549
anandgupta42 wants to merge 5 commits into
Conversation
After a successful read, `sql_execute` now checks each equality join whose two inputs are plain relations (at most two per query) and, when fewer than half of the left rows have a match, adds one advisory note: how many left rows were lost, and to confirm the loss is expected or find a key or source that covers the population. Healthy joins add nothing. - `sql-join-coverage.ts`: parses with DuckDB's own parser (`json_serialize_sql`), rebuilds each join side, runs one counting query, and returns the note. Any parse ambiguity, error or overrun of the 250 ms budget returns nothing and leaves the result unchanged. - `ALTIMATE_SQL_AUTO_CHECK=off|local|all` (default `local`): `local` runs only on the scratch database and DuckDB/SQLite connections; `all` adds remote warehouses, base tables only, capped at 100,000 left rows. - `sql-execute.ts`: adds the note ahead of lint notes and sets `join_coverage_warning` in metadata. - Tests on real DuckDB (scratch) and SQLite: low and threshold coverage, left-join wording, multi-key, CTE and subquery sides, no join, off flag, non-equality conditions, remote skip in local mode, errors, timeout, and the note reaching `sql_execute` output. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… engine Review found that a timeout on a local DuckDB count restarts the engine helper and drops the session's scratch state, that work could continue past the budget, and that remote-backed DuckDB passed as local. - Local counts run only on base tables in a local DuckDB database (not views, not `md:` or URL paths, not attached remote databases) whose catalog estimate is at most 2,000,000 rows, and never with a short driver timeout. Remote counts (`all` mode) get the remaining budget as their own timeout; every step checks the deadline first. - SQLite is no longer counted: without an index the semi-join is a nested loop. - Subquery sides, CTE names, column alias lists and table samples are skipped rather than rebuilt; equality operands keep their written order; remote identifiers stay unquoted when simple. - Tests: view and over-ceiling tables are skipped and scratch tables survive; local DuckDB file checked; SQLite, `md:` DuckDB and remote skipped in local mode; NULL keys never match.

…r interrupted Second review found the count could still inherit a session deadline and restart the engine, run on after the budget, read a view that shadows the gated table, and mis-resolve quoted names on remote warehouses. - Only the scratch database and local DuckDB files are checked; remote warehouses are never queried and the `all` mode is removed. `ALTIMATE_SQL_AUTO_CHECK=off` disables the check. - Queries go straight to the connector with no timeout, deadline or abort signal, so the engine is never interrupted. Each side must resolve to exactly one local DuckDB base table of at most 500,000 rows (catalog estimate), with no view of the same name anywhere; a semi-join at that size takes milliseconds even if the budget lapses. - Skips when no warehouse was named, since the query may have run through another adapter. - Tests: shadowing view, explicit-warehouse requirement, flag values. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Independent review found the count ignored the WHERE clause, so a filtered join where every returned row matched still got a loss warning. - WHERE conjuncts that reference only the left or only the right table are applied to that side of the count (rebuilt with DuckDB's own `json_deserialize_sql`). A WHERE with a conjunct spanning both sides, another relation, a bare column or a subquery skips the check. - Remote-path detection reuses the drivers' `isLocalFilePath`, which also covers `ducklake:`, for both the connection path and attached databases. - The size-ceiling test now pairs the large table with an unshadowed one, so it fails if the ceiling is removed; the comment on timeouts states that the connection's own query timeout still applies.

The serialized SQL AST is parsed into JavaScript numbers and later stringified again by sideSource, but only query_location values are neutralized. A valid filter such as c.id = 9007199254740993 therefore loses precision during JSON.parse, so json_deserialize_sql rebuilds the side with a different literal and the coverage count can inspect the wrong population, suppressing a real warning or emitting a false one. Preserve integer tokens outside JavaScript's safe range or rebuild the side without a lossy JSON round trip.

The coverage probe starts only after Dispatcher.call has returned and the lint pass has completed, then rereads the tables through several independent connector.execute calls. On the session scratch database, which is shared by concurrent subagents and releases its exclusive queue between each execute, another write can commit after the displayed rows were produced but before or during these probes. The warning can therefore describe different table contents from the result it annotates; the read and coverage count need a shared snapshot, or the check should be skipped when that consistency cannot be guaranteed.

…s filtered on the right - Rebuilt WHERE conjuncts may contain only comparisons, BETWEEN, IN lists, IS [NOT] NULL and casts of columns and constants. Function calls (LIKE included), CASE and subqueries skip the check, so the uncancellable count stays a cheap scan bounded by the 500,000-row ceiling. - A LEFT JOIN with a right-side WHERE conjunct is skipped: that filter runs after the join and drops the NULL-extended rows, which a pre-filtered count cannot describe. - Tests for both.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a LEFT JOIN feeds a later filter such as GROUP BY c.id HAVING COUNT(f.id) > 0, or is nested beneath an INNER JOIN whose condition uses right-side columns, the unmatched left rows are absent from the final result. This branch nevertheless says they stay as NULL-extended rows because only WHERE is inspected and tableJoins also accepts nested joins; skip these LEFT joins or account for HAVING, QUALIFY, and parent-join semantics before emitting this retention claim.

Holding further fixes on this PR. The open findings (LEFT JOIN retention under HAVING/QUALIFY/parent joins, the count continuing past the budget on the shared connector, snapshot consistency, and wide numeric literals) share one root cause: running extra probe queries inside every Rather than add more guards, the plan is to simplify: if an in-flight evaluation shows the note changes agent behavior, the check moves to run once on the final query at commit time (nothing runs after it, so it cannot block later queries or drift from the displayed snapshot) and reports only inner-join loss. If it shows no effect, this PR will be closed. The threads stay open until then. |

What does this PR do?
Why. An analyst agent can join a population table to a fact table, silently keep a small fraction of the population, and report the result as fact. In real agent sessions a join kept 23 of 513 entities and the agent stated the 23 without questioning it. The existing
sql_check keys/fanoutchecks can measure this, but agents almost never callsql_check, so the signal has to appear on thesql_executeresult they already read.What changed (before → after). After a successful
sql_executeread:join cohort → facts on MemberId = MemberId: WARNING coverage loss: 6 of 8 left rows (75.0%) have no match; the inner join drops them. Before reporting results over the joined rows, confirm this loss is expected ... or look for a different key, column or source .... Healthy joins add nothing.
