DEV-1854: consecutive_periods accepts null-test predicates - #363
Conversation
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.

- Around line 54-56: Update the impact list in the proposal to reference the
actual golden artifact, tests/golden/dev1750_sql_baseline.json, replacing the
incorrect dev1846 path; preserve the associated tests/test_dev1846_golden_sql.py
entry if it remains affected.
