Fixes DEV-1854.

What

  • Add "is" / "is not" to _PREDICATE_COMPARISON_OPS in slayer/sql/generator.py, so null tests (is None / is not None) classify as boolean-shaped in the consecutive_periods validation gate and emitter. Pre-fix, a compound predicate containing a null test was wrongly rejected ("'and' / 'or' / 'not' require boolean-shaped operands"), and a bare top-level null test rendered through the value path, wrapping a boolean in ... IS NOT NULL AND ... <> 0 — invalid on strictly-typed dialects.
  • Drop the redundant COALESCE(<predicate>, FALSE) wrapper in _emit_consecutive_periods_ctes_for_planned: every use site is a CASE WHEN condition, where NULL already acts as false, and the scalar wrapper is invalid T-SQL. The predicate is now the CASE WHEN condition directly.
  • Extend the gate's error message and _is_boolean_shaped's docstring with the null-test shape; add null tests and BETWEEN to the accepted-shapes sentence in docs/concepts/formulas.md.

Tests

  • New tests/test_dev1854_null_test_predicates.py: SQLite + DuckDB execution tests for top-level is not None / is None by store, a null test under and, a null test over a dimension column, plus a negative anchor ((hi_rev:sum is None) + 1 → ValueError naming the value-position shape).
  • Two new golden cases (cp/is_null_top, cp/is_not_null_and) across five dialects in tests/test_dev1846_golden_sql.py.
  • Golden re-bless for the COALESCE removal via the ALLOWED_DELTAS loop in both dev1846_sql_baseline.json (7 cases × 5 dialects) and dev1750_sql_baseline.json (2 cases × 5 dialects); manifests emptied again.
  • Removed the strict xfail on test_consecutive_periods_with_boolean_predicate (SQL Server integration): the bare-boolean-projection path it described no longer exists post-DEV-1846, and the re-blessed T-SQL golden shows predicates only in CASE WHEN conditions — keeping the strict marker would XPASS-fail. The integration-sqlserver workflow verifies the pass on this PR; the marker comes back only if it fails there.

Full non-integration suite: 15426 passed, 0 failed. Ruff clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • consecutive_periods now supports is None, is not None, and BETWEEN predicates.
    • Null-test predicates work in top-level, combined, and dimension-based streak calculations.
    • Boolean predicates are handled consistently across supported SQL dialects.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected consecutive-period streak behavior for null predicates.
    • Improved validation to reject boolean predicates when used as numeric values.
  • Documentation

    • Updated formula documentation and specifications to describe supported null-test and BETWEEN predicates.

Add 'is' / 'is not' to _PREDICATE_COMPARISON_OPS so null tests classify as
boolean-shaped in the consecutive_periods gate and emitter; drop the redundant
COALESCE(<pred>, FALSE) wrapper (invalid T-SQL, every use site is a CASE WHEN
condition). Golden baselines (dev1846 + dev1750) re-blessed for the wrapper
removal; SQL Server strict xfail removed — the bare-boolean-projection path it
described is gone, CI's integration-sqlserver workflow verifies.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

consecutive_periods now accepts is None and is not None predicates. SQL generation emits these predicates directly in CASE conditions. Tests cover typing, execution, golden SQL, and SQL Server integration.

Changes

Consecutive-period null predicates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Predicate contract and documentation
openspec/changes/archive/..., openspec/specs/queries/transforms/spec.md, docs/concepts/formulas.md
The predicate contract and formula documentation now define null-test support, direct condition emission, and rejection of boolean expressions in value positions.
Predicate classification and SQL generation
slayer/sql/generator.py
The generator recognizes is and is not predicates and uses them directly in consecutive-period CASE expressions without COALESCE.
Execution and SQL baseline validation
tests/test_dev1854_null_test_predicates.py, tests/test_dev1846_golden_sql.py, tests/golden/dev1750_sql_baseline.json, tests/integration/test_integration_sqlserver.py
Tests cover null predicates at multiple query levels, invalid value positions, cross-dialect SQL output, and SQL Server execution without the previous expected-failure marker.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 44817

The change enables null-test predicates in consecutive-period formulas and adds stated validation coverage. No unresolved merge-blocking risk is identified.
