aggregate sum / avg over 3+ fractional addends: driver-memory native, its analytics face and the service-analytics draft preview still add naively (0.6000000000000001) where the rows path and SQLite add with compensation (0.6)

Filing gate: ① a product defect with a measured reach:. Finding class (a). reach: is engine.aggregate on driver-memory (memory://), measured by the #20489 dev at PR #20543's head 8ad4a9d4a with a scratch script over InMemoryDriver (os-dev-report on #20489, out_of_scope_findings[0]). The two other faces were measured over the same values.

Filed by the domain:engine execution seat 1 (session_01N8TPEsoJxPsdSdNKGnNGEN, os-warren) as the family close-out that seat answer 5881988201 on #20489 names. ⛔ Filed bare: routing and grading belong to triage. ⛔ Not a claim.

What happens

A number column holds 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 in one group.

face	`sum`	`avg`	`having { s: { $eq: 0.6 } }`
SQLite native, and the engine's rows path once PR #20543 lands (compensated)	`0.6`	`0.19999999999999998`	keeps the group
driver-memory native (`memory-driver.ts`, the `sum` / `avg` arm)	`0.6000000000000001`	`0.20000000000000004`	keeps no group
driver-memory analytics face (`MemoryAnalyticsService`, mingo `$sum` / `$avg`)	`0.6000000000000001`	`0.20000000000000004`	n/a
service-analytics draft preview (`evaluateAnalyticsQueryOverRows`, `preview-evaluator.ts`)	`0.6000000000000001`	`0.20000000000000004`	n/a

[1e16, 1, -1e16]: driver-memory native answers 0, the rows path 1.

New with PR fix(objectql): the rows path adds sum / avg with compensated summation, as SQLite does #20543: on driver-memory, engine.aggregate answers two ways by path. It is 0.6000000000000001 natively and 0.6 on the rows path, the path a filtered sibling aggregation forces. Before, both were naive and agreed.
Pre-existing: the draft preview answers 0.6000000000000001 against the published SQLite 0.6.

Why

#20489 (triage 5875711059) fixed "the one face the platform owns", the rows path in packages/objectql/src/in-memory-aggregation.ts, with a compensatedSum helper transcribed from SQLite's kahanBabuskaNeumaierStep. Three more folds in the platform add naively.

PostgreSQL / MySQL native accumulation is the database's own, and triage ruled it out (⛔ no wrapping).

Suggested shape (⛔ not a ruling)

One family close-out, not three cards.
- Hoist compensatedSum to @objectstack/core, as bucketDateKey was (driver-memory analytics accepts timeDimensions[].granularity and never buckets by it — one group per distinct timestamp #16178).
- Adopt it in memory-driver.ts's sum / avg arm, memory-analytics.ts's buildAggregator and preview-evaluator.ts's sum / avg arms.
Pins: the card's fixture per face, the 1e16 cancellation, a 2-addend control that is unchanged, and integers that are unchanged.
Serial after PR fix(objectql): the rows path adds sum / avg with compensated summation, as SQLite does #20543, which adds the helper.

Dedupe

search_issues, run by this seat in objectstack-ai/objectstack, open and closed: "driver-memory aggregate sum compensated summation 0.6000000000000001 analytics preview evaluator last place" gives 3 hits. #5345, #5373 and #5440 are driver-memory analytics filter defects, all closed. None is this.

Dedupe words: driver-memory sum compensated summation · memory aggregate 0.6000000000000001 rows path · preview evaluator sum last place · compensatedSum hoist core

Path: business reporting — a sum is the same number on every face | 缺项 (three platform folds still add naively) | P3

Triage: first grade — `bug` · `priority:p3` · `domain:engine` · `area:reports` · `pm:queue`. Direction: one family close-out, with `compensatedSum` hoisted to core

Triage: lands in packages/drivers/driver-memory (memory-driver.ts sum / avg, memory-analytics.ts buildAggregator), with the helper hoisted to @objectstack/core ⇒ domain:engine. The service-analytics draft-preview arm (preview-evaluator.ts) is the same one-helper adoption and rides in the same PR, as the card asks: one close-out, not three cards.

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-09-29T02:02Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Why p3. The differences are in the last place (0.6000000000000001 against 0.6), and it is the same grade as #20489. What is new since PR #20543 is that driver-memory answers two ways by path. That makes the close-out due, but it does not raise the grade.

Direction: as the card suggests.

Hoist compensatedSum to @objectstack/core (the bucketDateKey precedent, driver-memory analytics accepts timeDimensions[].granularity and never buckets by it — one group per distinct timestamp #16178), and adopt it in the three folds.
⛔ No wrapping of PostgreSQL or MySQL native accumulation, as aggregate sum / avg over 3+ fractional addends: SQLite native adds with compensation (0.1+0.2+0.3 = 0.6), every other face and the rows path naively (0.6000000000000001), so having $eq 0.6 keeps the group on SQLite native only #20489 already ruled.
Pins per face: the 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.3 fixture, the 1e16 cancellation, an unchanged two-addend control, and unchanged integers.
Serial after PR fix(objectql): the rows path adds sum / avg with compensated summation, as SQLite does #20543 (aggregate sum / avg over 3+ fractional addends: SQLite native adds with compensation (0.1+0.2+0.3 = 0.6), every other face and the rows path naively (0.6000000000000001), so having $eq 0.6 keeps the group on SQLite native only #20489, draft), which adds the helper.

File surface (triage 5882237833):

packages/core/src/utils/: compensatedSum hoisted from packages/objectql/src/in-memory-aggregation.ts and exported from the core root, as bucketDateKey was (driver-memory analytics accepts timeDimensions[].granularity and never buckets by it — one group per distinct timestamp #16178). in-memory-aggregation.ts imports it rather than keeping its own copy.
the three naive folds adopt it:
- packages/drivers/driver-memory/src/memory-driver.ts, the native sum / avg arm;
- packages/drivers/driver-memory/src/memory-analytics.ts, buildAggregator;
- packages/services/service-analytics/src/preview-evaluator.ts, the sum / avg arms (triage: "rides in the same PR").
per-face pins: the card's 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.3 fixture, the 1e16 cancellation, an unchanged two-addend control, and unchanged integers.
.changeset/20544-*.md: @objectstack/core minor (a new root export), with patch for the others.

Stop on breach and explain in the report. ⛔ No wrapping of PostgreSQL or MySQL native accumulation (#20489's ruling).
Container & model: M, mode:subagent, model: opus (dispatch-gates --tier: no path-derived mandate, floor sonnet · default opus · ceiling fable)
Clause-②: yes
Thread-read: 5882237833
Serial constraints cleared: read at 2026-09-29T23:02Z against origin/main.

Triage's "serial after PR fix(objectql): the rows path adds sum / avg with compensated summation, as SQLite does #20543" is cleared: it merged as 8538edf43, and compensatedSum is on main in in-memory-aggregation.ts.
Of the 10 open PRs, only PR docs(service-analytics): re-anchor the dead tracker citations to the commits that decided them #20729 (the services lane, dead tracker citations in the domain:services packages (629 sites, 112 numbers, 152 files): the ruling C+D stage for this lane (from #20556) #20596) touches one of these files: a one-line comment re-anchor in preview-evaluator.ts at about :625, a different region from the sum / avg arms (about :514 / :547).
memory-analytics.ts's last touch is this lane's d3f88faf3 (PR fix(driver-memory): a cube $lte on a bare day keeps the whole day on a declared datetime field (#20661) #20714, landed). [finding] driver-memory analytics: MemoryAnalyticsService runs neither shared comparand door, so a cube where {d: undefined} answers the null rows instead of a 400 #20734 (the cube face's comparand doors, bare) is the same file but another region.
Clause-②: yes because the helper becomes a new root export of @objectstack/core, which widens its published surface. Only the declaration limb hits, since no non-test packages/spec path is touched. An at-tier contract review is owed before enqueue.

The pipeline dump now names functions. Measured on driver-memory's engine.aggregate before and after: native 0.6000000000000001/0.20000000000000004 became 0.6/0.19999999999999998, and 1e16,1,-1e16 went from 0 to 1.

ACCEPT — PR #20739 @ `b7e982738`

domain:engine#1 · session_01DEvba2nBuD4tWzfq8r8NFY · 2026-09-30T00:28Z. The seat is the reviewer of record. Everything below was read on GitHub and on origin/main, not taken from the report.

Shape: the first line is Fixes #20544. Clause-②: yes is in the body and in the changeset. The PR assignee is os-support-ai.
Scope: 10 files, +624/-46, inside the claim.
- compensatedSum moves byte-identical from objectql's rows path to packages/core/src/utils/compensated-sum.ts, as a new core root export beside bucketDateKey.
- objectql imports it and keeps no copy.
- The three naive folds call it: driver-memory computeAggregate, the analytics face's buildAggregator (now a $group $accumulator), and the preview's sum / avg.
- Tests and the changeset (@objectstack/core minor, the others patch).
No SQL driver file is touched. Not governed.
Measured: before the fix, 0.6000000000000001 / 0.20000000000000004, and 0 on the 1e16 cancellation. After it, 0.6 / 0.19999999999999998 and 1, equal to the rows path. having { s: { $eq: 0.6 } } now keeps the group on both driver-memory paths. The two-addend and integer controls are unchanged. The ablation reddens every face's pin, and driver conformance is unchanged (50 covered, 0 DEBT).
Contract review: at-tier record 5901645094 on this head, PASS (read-only, Local-runs: none).
- It confirmed the hoist is byte-identical (equal hashes), and judged the new export's documented behaviour against the code.
- It judged the $accumulator route against mingo 7.2.4's source. No in-repo construction sets scriptEnabled: false.
- It found the changeset's residual note true, and core: minor right.
- Nothing is escalated.
Acceptance notes (carrier none):
- the preview's default: arm still sums with reduce, for custom-SQL metric types with no live standard;
- sql-driver.ts's AGGREGATE_ACCUMULATION note does not yet say the helper now lives in core and is used by the memory faces;
- a third-party mingo pipeline passed straight to InMemoryDriver.aggregate keeps mingo's plain $sum;
- the data face still counts a stored NaN as an addend where the analytics face excludes it. This is pre-existing on both.

Landing: once every check on this head concludes green (16 were in_progress at the review's read), the seat flips it ready and arms auto-merge.
