DEV-1833: harden Mode-B keyword lexing (CASE/LIKE) for Unicode identifiers - #367
Merged
ZmeiGorynych merged 8 commits intoSep 4, 2026
Conversation
…fiers Tokenize complete Unicode/dotted identifiers in the CASE rewriter, gate CASE lowering on a depth-0 WHEN, and make keyword recognition ASCII-exact so a name named after, containing, or qualified by a SQL keyword (case, customers.case, écase, customers.end in a THEN value) is never captured. Rework the LIKE rewriter with ASCII keyword classes (drops IGNORECASE, which folded spoofs like lıke), an escape-aware pattern, and a string-literal-span skip; same ASCII treatment for OVER and the SQL operator-keyword rewrites. Adds the regression suite and the OpenSpec change (new expression-keywords capability).
Reimplement _filter_refs_dsl on parse_filter_expr via a shared _walk_ref_names helper extracted from _measure_formula_refs (DEV-1826 expression sources included); reference order becomes expression order (sole caller aggregates into a set). Adds the parity suite and the migration-gains cases (funcstyle custom aggs, expression agg sources).
Delete parse_filter and its whole private subtree (_preprocess_like/_sql_operators/ _concat, the _filter_node_to_sql emitter, __like__/__notlike__ machinery, _SUBQUERY_IN_FILTER_RE) — the typed pipeline is now the only Mode-B filter parser. Move the trimmed ParsedFilter (sql + columns) to sql_predicate.py, its sole remaining producer. Migrate the legacy parse_filter test call sites onto parse_filter_expr or delete those already covered by the typed suites, and scrub stale parse_filter references from code and docs.

…lings The CASE rewriter was hardened for Other_ID_Start / combining-mark identifiers, but the sibling keyword rewrites still keyed off \b/\w and corrupted a reference fused to a keyword spelling: ℘NULL→℘None, éname LIKE→élike(name,…), and ℘OVER( misread as a raw window. Route the NULL/operator subs through the new _sub_keyword_isolated and add leading-edge identifier guards to the LIKE/OVER scans, mirroring _case_keyword's _is_ident_adjacent check. Also adds a filter-path alias-healing regression (CodeRabbit nitpick): countd / stddev in a HAVING predicate heal after the typed-parser filter migration.

Codex follow-up: the leading identifier guard checked only the char before the match, so a dotted path whose root the \w LHS can't lex (℘.name LIKE) still sliced the leaf into ℘.like(name, …), and a keyword-named dotted component (a.NULL → a.None, a.AND.b → a.and.b) was rewritten out from under the ref. Generalise the guard to _continues_ref — a `.` join separator OR Unicode identifier material — shared by _sub_keyword_isolated and the LIKE/OVER scans.
