DEV-1777: mechanical consolidations — step-CTE extraction, throwaway ScopeFrames, positional couplings - #310
Conversation
Move the root_scope_ids gate above the qualification branch in _process_column_node_sync so a column outside the root scope (subquery / CTE / set-op branch / Values) is left untouched -- neither qualified against the outer root nor inlined. Previously qualification fired unconditionally, rebinding a subquery's own columns to the outer model: "amount IN (SELECT amount FROM other_tbl)" became "orders.amount IN (SELECT orders.amount FROM other_tbl)", silently changing the predicate. Contract: a Mode-A subquery must be self-contained; correlation to the outer model is not supported and is already rejected by assert_scope_closed. Tests: new tests/test_dev1752_subquery_scope.py (scope-locality, correlation contract, join-discovery, execution differential + correlated rejection); direct-expander cases (differing alias, UNION, WITH) in test_column_expansion_sync.py; flipped the DEV-1752 strict-xfail in test_dev1745_mode_a_door.py.
- Duplication gate (new_duplicated_lines_density 10.9% > 3%): the DEV-1752 test pack copied the ScopeFrame model fixtures from test_dev1745_mode_a_door.py. Extract _regions/_customers/_orders/_scope/_sql_of into a shared tests/_mode_a_scope_fixtures.py and import it from both files. - python:S5778: hoist the SlayerQuery construction out of the pytest.raises block in the correlated-rejection test so only engine.execute can throw inside.
… time-col resolver Step-CTE (sub-item 1): one _emit_step_cte shell backs the four window / unmaterialised-POST step-CTE sites in _generate_from_planned_impl (F1) and _render_cross_model_transform_chain (F2), plus _unmaterialised_post_slots (detection loop) and _inner_select_from_final_cte (trailing block). Per-site 3-way (F1) / 2-way (F2) Kahn splits, the time_shift / consecutive_periods dispatches, and the RuntimeError / NotImplementedError guards stay at the call sites. The per-slot render is a callback invoked before each slot's alias-map update, so a later same-step slot still sees earlier slots' aliases — the ordering the byte-identity depends on. Throwaway frame + dead branch (sub-item 2): _resolve_explicit_time_col deleted and time_column=None inlined at its sole caller. Static proof it was dead: _explicit_time_arg_of returns non-None only for first/last; first/last compile to RankedAggregatePlan and render through _ranked_value_expr, never through _build_agg_render_spec_from_planned (the only live caller); a string-literal search found no reflective access. Its dead-branch pins are removed (TestResolveExplicitTimeColViaResolver, test_reroot_aggregate_key Section G, TestBuilderFirstLast); live first/last behaviour stays covered by the e2e tests, TestExplicitTimeArgOf, and TestBuilderColumnKey (filter_sql). One _throwaway_frame(model, relation, bundle) now backs the three surviving throwaway-frame sites (_resolve_agg_kwargs_for_key, _collect_routed_filters, _filter_render_context). Verification: emitted SQL is byte-identical — test_dev1747_golden_sql green with ALLOWED_DELTAS empty, extended with nested-window F1/F2 dependency-split cases, a windowed date_range case, and a step-CTE count/order vacuity guard. Block D (F2 unmaterialised-POST), unreachable via real queries, is unit-pinned in test_dev1777_emit_step_cte along with the shell and the render-before-mutate invariant. Full non-integration suite green (11847 passed).
Positional couplings (sub-item 3). partition_declared_measures plus a
PreboundQuery.grain_declared_measures accessor single-source the dim / time-dim /
aggregate prefix-slice arithmetic the planners inlined; stage_planner (three
sites) and cross_model_planner (_grain_declared_measures + the reroot loop) now
read through them. The stage_planner slices run on a local declared_measures
list that is rebuilt between sites, so the free function is called per-site
(same boundaries, current list) rather than the accessor.
stage_planner also captures the minted date-range fids in the mint loop and
reuses that set instead of re-deriving {f"f{i}" for i in range(n_date_range)}
for the windowed _src row-filter routing.
3(c) deferred: the public_projection[i] positional pairing (and its silent None
fallback) is left byte-identical; the cardinality / ambiguity concern it encodes
is out of scope here and owned by DEV-1688.
Verification: emitted SQL unchanged — golden suite and full non-integration
suite green (11847 passed). partition_declared_measures / grain_declared_measures
equivalence to the old slicing is unit-tested; the malformed-date_range no-op
keeps its live e2e pin and a windowed date_range golden case pins the routed
filter.
…rding - Duplication gate: the shared tests/_mode_a_scope_fixtures.py mirrors the orders/customers/regions fixture triple that ~20 legacy test files carry inline. Migrating all of them is out of scope, so exclude the shared source from CPD (sonar.cpd.exclusions) — same mechanism as the dialect-mirror tests. - Codex: the self-contained-subquery contract is enforced by assert_scope_closed only under SLAYER_VALIDATE_SCOPES (on in CI, off in production), not at runtime. Reword the test/docs/DECISIONS accordingly and set the flag explicitly in the correlated-rejection test rather than leaning on the conftest autouse default.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughMode-A expansion now respects SQL scope boundaries. Planner code shares declared-measure partitioning and preserves date-filter IDs. SQL generation centralizes transform-chain CTE emission and relies on planner-resolved ranking time. Tests add scope, partitioning, CTE, and dialect coverage. ChangesSQL planning and rendering
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The refactor may emit the wrong alias when multiple names share one transform, causing incorrect generated SQL for that case. This is a bounded correctness risk that is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up coverage. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

sonar.cpd.exclusions did not clear the new-code duplication gate for the shared fixtures file. Drop that approach: delete tests/_mode_a_scope_fixtures.py, restore test_dev1745_mode_a_door.py's original inline fixtures (its diff is now just the DEV-1752 xfail flip), and import the orders/customers/regions ScopeFrame fixtures into test_dev1752_subquery_scope.py directly from the DEV-1745 door pack. No new duplicated code is introduced, so the gate has nothing to flag. Reverts the sonar-project.properties CPD exclusion.
Process-reviews fixes for PR #310 (SonarCloud): - new_duplicated_lines_density gate (6.0% vs 3%): the byte-identical F1/F2 transform-chain tails (leftover-POST slot materialisation, inner-select, WITH assembly, POST-phase filter wrap, projection, outer wrap) are now one _finalise_transform_chain helper that both call sites return. - python:S9073: split the composite `"orders.a" in sql and "orders.b" in sql` assertion in test_dev1777_emit_step_cte into two independent assertions. Emitted SQL unchanged (golden suite + full non-integration suite green, 11847 passed).

Lands the three deferred pure refactors from DEV-1749 (PR 6). Contract: no emitted-SQL changes — each consolidation is byte-identical, verified against the golden SQL suite (
test_dev1747_golden_sql,ALLOWED_DELTASempty) and the full non-integration suite (11847 passed).Two commits (generator.py carries sub-items 1 and 2; the planners carry 3).
