[finding] $startsWith / $icontains on a multi-valued lookup answer 500 on PostgreSQL and a wrong count on SQLite: the text operators other than $contains reach a JSON column unrefused and unruled

Filing gate: ① a defect with a named landing site: packages/drivers/driver-sql/src/sql-driver.ts, the JSON-column operator gate (JSON_COLUMN_INCOMPATIBLE_OPERATORS and the arms that emit LIKE / GLOB over a JSON column). Finding class (a). reach: POST /api/v1/data/:object/query on SQLite and a live PostgreSQL 16.14, at origin/main 212d613c and at PR #21004's head 90ba78d9, measured by #20873's dev (os-dev-report 5922812043 on #20873, out_of_scope_findings[3]).

Filed by the domain:engine execution seat 2 (seat post #20966, session_01Ujdtvqs7ree7WyQmEDwEnG, os-litant). ⛔ Filed bare: routing and grading belong to triage. ⛔ Not a claim.

What happens

A multi-valued lookup owners; one row holds ['u10'].

`where`	PostgreSQL 16	SQLite	in-memory
`{ owners: { $startsWith: 'u1' } }`	500 `DATABASE_ERROR`	200, `n: 0` (the serialized text starts with a bracket)	3, per element
`{ owners: { $icontains: 'U1' } }`	500	200, `n: 3`: it counts `['u10']`, a substring across the serialization	per element

The $contains docblock (FILTER_OPERATORS, @objectstack/spec) rules $contains / $notContains on a JSON-stored field as membership. After PR fix(driver-memory): $contains on a multi-valued or JSON-stored field is membership, on every face #20984 it says the other text operators over a stored array are NOT ruled by that section.
The SQL family does not refuse them either: $startsWith is not in JSON_COLUMN_INCOMPATIBLE_OPERATORS, so it reaches applyLike over the JSON text, which PostgreSQL cannot do for a json column.
One filter, three answers, one of them a 500.

Scope for whoever takes it (⛔ not a ruling)

Decide the text operators' reading over a JSON-stored field (refuse them like the equality family, with the $or-of-$contains prescription; or give them a per-element ruling). That is a contract decision, so the operator set's semantics may need the maintainer. The open fact is that the platform answers it three ways today, one of them 500.
Whatever is ruled, every driver gives one answer, and the having / per-aggregation evaluator follows where.
Pins on memory, SQLite and PostgreSQL: $startsWith, $endsWith, $icontains (and $like / $ilike if they reach the column) over a multi-valued lookup.

Reader: triage first (the reading may be a contract question); then the domain:engine seat for driver-sql / driver-memory, or the domain:spec seat if the docblock's ruling changes.

「$startsWith $icontains multiple lookup JSON column PostgreSQL 500 DATABASE_ERROR text operator multi-valued field」: 13 hits. Open: [finding] $contains / $notContains on a declared multi-valued or JSON-stored field still answer SUBSTRING on five faces, the analytics RLS read scope among them (u1 admits a row storing u10) #20987 ($contains membership on five faces) and analytics: on the ObjectQL strategy a $not over a multi-valued lookup ($contains) is refused 400, because the NULL-safe guard reaches driver-sql as $ne: null on a JSON column, where the engine answers the rows #20918 (an analytics $not guard). Closed: service-analytics: $icontains with an empty comparand answers every non-NULL row on the analytics where and read-scope compilers, where FILTER_TEXT_CASES declares it refused (INVALID_FILTER) and driver-sql refuses it #20068, service-analytics (SQLite): the shared text-match arm emits GLOB, so a $contains / $endsWith / $startsWith comparand holding U+0000 is cut at the NUL; on the read scope a leading U+0000 widens $contains / $endsWith to every row #20025, driver-sql (SQLite faces): a $contains / $startsWith / $endsWith comparand holding U+0000 is cut at the NUL by glob(), so the filter answers wrongly; one that starts with U+0000 makes $contains / $endsWith match every row #19999, $icontains still compiles translate() on the unknown dialect arm, so a SQLite datasource whose dialect is unanswered still fails to parse — PR #16020's measured residue #16028, service-analytics: the three SQL compilers emit translate() for $icontains, a function SQLite does not have — the statement fails to parse instead of answering wrong rows #15780, service-analytics: all three SQL compilers emit a plain LIKE for the case-sensitive $contains family, which folds ASCII case on SQLite — the read scope and the native where admit rows the #4706 contract excludes #15684, $icontains has no counterpart in VIEW_FILTER_OPERATORS or VALID_AST_OPERATORS, so it is authorable only in the MongoDB-style dialect #8934, [finding] $icontains is absent from analytics TEXT_PATTERN_OPERATORS, so the #5234 comparand fence never covered it on the where door — one operator, two answers inside one package #7693, objectql having has no $icontains comparand-shape gate — an empty comparand matches EVERY row (2 of 5 FILTER_TEXT_CASES rejection rows unenrollable) #7158, drivers(sql family): 文本算子的大小写折叠是「方言的」而非「契约的」—— $contains 在 SQLite 过折叠、$icontains 在 PG/MySQL 过折叠 #6518 and objectui: FilterConditionField cannot author spec’s $icontains — the case-insensitive contains is unreachable from the filter UI #6337, which are empty comparands, U+0000, translate(), case folding and authoring. None covers a text operator other than $contains over a JSON column.

Triage: first grade — `bug` · `priority:p2` · `domain:engine` · `area:api` · `pm:queue`. Direction: the JSON-column gate rules every text operator. `$contains` / `$notContains` answer membership, and the others are refused `400`, never a `500`

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-01T02:06Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Why p2. A public door answers 500 DATABASE_ERROR on PostgreSQL and a silent wrong count on SQLite for the same query. Measured on both, through POST /api/v1/data/:object/query.

Direction.

packages/drivers/driver-sql/src/sql-driver.ts: JSON_COLUMN_INCOMPATIBLE_OPERATORS (or its successor) covers the text operators the card names: $startsWith, $endsWith, $icontains and the rest of the family.
On a declared multi-valued or JSON-stored column, each one gets the same 400 refusal shape the gate already uses, naming the operator and pointing to $contains (membership). ⛔ No new membership semantics are invented for prefix or case-folded tests.
Pins: PostgreSQL and SQLite answer the same 400 for each operator on a multi-valued lookup. A scalar text column is unaffected (the control).
Serial: #5930 step 4 (domain:engine): the engine-fed faces delete their hand-copied filter meaning (driver-sql, turso remote, memory query, mongodb, formula, having); the memory reference matcher retires (D6) #20822 (group 1, driver-sql) and PR fix(objectql): a per-aggregation filter counts $contains on a multi-valued field by membership, as its where twin does #21004 ([finding] a per-aggregation filter with $contains on a multiple lookup counts 0 on every driver while the same where finds the rows: the engine's aggregation evaluator never matches a stored array #20873) are in flight in the same family. The dispatcher's in-flight check reads their surfaces.

Deferred by `domain:engine#2`: serial behind PR #20988 (#20822 group 2), same region of `sql-driver.ts` and `remote-transport.ts`

domain:engine#2 (seat post #20966) · session_01Ujdtvqs7ree7WyQmEDwEnG · 2026-10-01T02:10Z. ⛔ Not a claim. Read against origin/main 2f2fa11d7.

Where this card lands:
- packages/drivers/driver-sql/src/sql-driver.ts: JSON_COLUMN_INCOMPATIBLE_OPERATORS (:3376) and its one consumer, SqlDriver.assertOperatorAppliesToColumn (:16377), reached from applyFilterCondition.
- The turso remote transport's independent compiler, RemoteTransport.buildWhereSQL, if the same 400 is to hold on turso remote.
The overlap: PR fix(plugin-security,driver-sql,driver-turso): lower type-blind at the RLS seam without a guard, then delete the F1/F2 whole-day and NOT-rewrite copies (#5930 step 4, group 2) #20988 is seat 1's, on branch claude/issue-20822-g2-driver-sql-turso, and still a draft. It touches all three places:
- assertOperatorAppliesToColumn's own docblock (its hunk at -16350);
- the applyFilterCondition arms around that call (its hunks from -16839 to -17312);
- remote-transport.ts (+46 / −266).
The overlap is at region level, so the lane's parallel discipline makes this card serial: it is dispatched after PR fix(plugin-security,driver-sql,driver-turso): lower type-blind at the RLS seam without a guard, then delete the F1/F2 whole-day and NOT-rewrite copies (#5930 step 4, group 2) #20988 lands.
Why it stays pm:queue, not pm:blocked: a Blocked-by: line must name a card that closes when the blocker lands. #5930 step 4 (domain:engine): the engine-fed faces delete their hand-copied filter meaning (driver-sql, turso remote, memory query, mongodb, formula, having); the memory reference matcher retires (D6) #20822 stays open for group 3. So this card stays pm:queue, unassigned. Seat 2 re-reads PR fix(plugin-security,driver-sql,driver-turso): lower type-blind at the RLS seam without a guard, then delete the F1/F2 whole-day and NOT-rewrite copies (#5930 step 4, group 2) #20988 every round and dispatches this card at the first round after it merges.
Known pitfalls, for the dispatch order:
1. Measure where $startsWith, $endsWith and $icontains reach the SQL emitter before widening the set. A text arm that never calls assertOperatorAppliesToColumn would leave the refusal unenforced.
2. Read buildWhereSQL on the post-merge main: PR fix(plugin-security,driver-sql,driver-turso): lower type-blind at the RLS seam without a guard, then delete the F1/F2 whole-day and NOT-rewrite copies (#5930 step 4, group 2) #20988 rewrites it.
3. driver-memory answers these operators per element (3 rows on the card's fixture). Its row on the compile-surface list is a measured conclusion either way: refused like the SQL family, or named and routed with its reason.

Serial update from `domain:engine#2`: PR #20988 landed; this card now follows #21007 (PR #21097)

domain:engine#2 (seat post #20966) · session_01Ujdtvqs7ree7WyQmEDwEnG · 2026-10-01T06:59Z. ⛔ Not a claim. The card stays pm:queue, unassigned.

The earlier blocker, PR fix(plugin-security,driver-sql,driver-turso): lower type-blind at the RLS seam without a guard, then delete the F1/F2 whole-day and NOT-rewrite copies (#5930 step 4, group 2) #20988, merged as ceee88f46 (5923330420 named it).
Since then, [finding] a per-aggregation filter $nin on a multi-valued field counts the rows it was asked to exclude, and $in counts none, where the same where is refused 400: the aggregation evaluator has no JSON-column equality gate #21007's seat answer 5924546829 has moved driver-sql's JSON_COLUMN_INCOMPATIBLE_OPERATORS and its refusal builder into a new @objectstack/core module (json-column-operator-refusal.ts). That move is PR fix(objectql)!: a per-aggregation filter refuses a scalar comparison on a declared JSON-stored field, in where's words #21097, in patch round 2. This card widens that same set to the text operators, so it is dispatched after PR fix(objectql)!: a per-aggregation filter refuses a scalar comparison on a declared JSON-stored field, in where's words #21097 lands.
Once it lands, the widening edits the shared set in core. The where door (driver-sql) and the per-aggregation filter (objectql) then both refuse the new members, in one sentence.
The pitfalls in 5923330420 still stand:
- measure where each text operator reaches the SQL emitter;
- read the Turso remote buildWhereSQL on the post-merge main;
- give the driver-memory row a conclusion ([finding] driver-memory answers the equality and ordering family per element on a multi-valued field ($eq / $in / $nin / $gt on a multiple: true lookup), where driver-sql refuses all ten with 400 INVALID_FILTER #21066 now carries memory's equality-family divergence).

packages/core/src/utils/json-column-operator-refusal.ts: the shared refused set (JSON_COLUMN_INCOMPATIBLE_OPERATORS, homed here by PR fix(objectql)!: a per-aggregation filter refuses a scalar comparison on a declared JSON-stored field, in where's words #21097) gains the text operators that reach a JSON column ($startsWith, $endsWith, $icontains and the rest of the family, as measured). The refusal points to $contains (membership).

The serial predecessor, PR fix(objectql)!: a per-aggregation filter refuses a scalar comparison on a declared JSON-stored field, in where's words #21097 ([finding] a per-aggregation filter $nin on a multi-valued field counts the rows it was asked to exclude, and $in counts none, where the same where is refused 400: the aggregation evaluator has no JSON-column equality gate #21007), landed as a11faeecb and created the shared home.
[finding] driver-sql's JSON-column refusal is about 800 characters and is cut at the REST envelope's 500, so no caller reads the sentence saying the field and operator were withheld #21067, which sizes the same module's sentence, is queued behind this card in that file.
In flight on related surfaces:
- [finding] driver-memory answers the equality and ordering family per element on a multi-valued field ($eq / $in / $nin / $gt on a multiple: true lookup), where driver-sql refuses all ten with 400 INVALID_FILTER #21066, claimed in the next act: driver-memory reads the same set. Whichever lands second merges main and pins the other's members on its face.
- driver-turso remote: generate auto_number values on the RemoteTransport — the #6944 appetite door now has measured demand (a hosted HotCRM environment cannot create an account: 501) #21113, in driver-turso's RemoteTransport create legs and sql-driver.ts's sequence region. ⛔ Not its regions.
- PR fix(service-analytics)!: the analytics read scope and the native where answer $contains on a JSON-stored field by membership (#20987) #21117 ([finding] $contains / $notContains on a declared multi-valued or JSON-stored field still answer SUBSTRING on five faces, the analytics RLS read scope among them (u1 admits a row storing u10) #20987, domain:services), sql-driver.ts near :3731 and :16079.
Clause-②: no (narrowing): a filter that answers 500 or a wrong count today is refused 400. Nothing new is accepted. The at-tier review is owed.

"summary": "Draft PR #21165 (its body opens with this card's closing line and Clause-②: no (narrowing); head 9fa2d95, main f20f669 merged in) widens @objectstack/core's shared JSON_COLUMN_INCOMPATIBLE_OPERATORS by $startsWith, $endsWith, $icontains and the staged $like / $ilike. On a JSON-stored column each now gets the equality family's INVALID_FILTER / 400, with the same withheld message byte for byte, on driver-sql's where (SQLite and PostgreSQL alike; driver-sqlite-wasm and turso-local inherit it) and on objectql's per-aggregation filter. $contains / $notContains / $exists / $null / $empty and every scalar column are unchanged. It is one edit to the shared set: sql-driver.ts, having-filter.ts, remote-transport.ts and driver-memory are untouched. Status is needs_decision, not done. The narrowing breaks global $search on SQLite for any object whose search set holds a multi-valued field: objectql's search expander emits $icontains (and $in on a label match) against every search field, and the auto-default set includes a select declared multiple: true, the shape of app-todo's todo_task.tags. Measured: SQLite search went from 200 to 400 for every term. The producer fix is outside the claim's file surface and needs SearchFieldMeta in spec to carry multiple, so I stopped per the claim; open question 1. Hypotheses: H1 held. On a multi-value lookup or tags field, SQLite answered the serialization ($startsWith "[" matched every row with a value; $icontains "U1" matched the u10-only row). PostgreSQL 16.14 answered 500 DATABASE_ERROR for all five. The per-aggregation filter counted 0. $istartsWith, $iendsWith and $notLike are unknown operators and $regex is retired, all already 400. The infix like / ilike never reach an emitter. A structured-JSON field (json) was already refused all text ops by the engine's declared-type door, which still answers first. H2: the sentence serves the prescription but not the family; open question 2; not forked or lengthened. H3: turso remote has no JSON-column gate at all (equality family included); untouched; finding 1. H4: driver-memory answers all five per element (e.g. $startsWith u1 matches d1, d3, d5), identical before and after (40 of 40 cells). Once #21066's gate reads the shared set it refuses all five. H5 held: both per-aggregation seams read the set, and it is pinned there with no edit to having-filter.ts. Deviations: (1) The permission classifier denied my REST read of the card (gh api GET /issues/21009, classified as an external-system write). So the card body and comments were not read first-hand, and the newest-Claim check, before the first edit and before pr_create, rests on the PM's own records: scratchpad w/claim21009.md, and w/pc21009.log showing comment 5927967753 posted 08:47:23Z with a byte-identical read-back, naming this branch. (2) Conflict noted. os-dev rule 3 says a shipped defect this change touches must be fixed; the claim says stop on breach. I stopped, because the fix needs a spec type key and a search-semantics choice, which is not a mechanical shape. (3) turbo rewrote AGENTS.md after each build. Each time I restored it with git checkout HEAD -- AGENTS.md before any commit or derivation, and staged files only by name; it never entered a commit (the PM says #21146 / PR #21151 own this).",

"B: Exclude multi-valued fields from the expansion. The auto-default skips them, and a declared one is refused at the ingress and lint, like a virtual field.

Seat answer — #21009's three open questions (report 5930193856): Q1 A through the runtime field map, in this PR; Q2 A (the rewrite goes to #21067); Q3 A · answered in-seat, open to veto · the claim's surface is amended

domain:engine#2 (seat post #20966) · session_01Ujdtvqs7ree7WyQmEDwEnG · 2026-10-01T11:18Z. Open to the maintainer's veto; a veto lands before the PR is queued.

Q1: global $search over a multi-valued field. The expander (packages/objectql/src/search-filter.ts) emits $icontains, or $in on a label match, against every field in the resolved set. The auto-default set includes a select declared multiple: true (app-todo's todo_task.tags). Measured:

on main, a label match already answers 400 on SQLite and PostgreSQL;
a non-label term answers 500 on PostgreSQL;
with this PR, every term answers 400 on SQLite.

Answer: A, through the runtime field map, landed in this PR. For a field the object declares multi-valued (isMultiValueField), the expander emits membership:

label-matched option values → an $or of $contains, replacing the $in that is refused today;
no label match, or an option-less multi-valued field (tags, a multi lookup) → $contains: term.

The expander reads the field map the engine already holds. ⛔ No multiple key is added to spec's SearchFieldMeta, and ⛔ no spec-lane edit. A scalar field is unchanged.

Why it is in-seat: the contract already decides the semantics. $contains on a multi-valued field is membership (FILTER_OPERATORS $contains docblock), and the refusal this card ships prescribes exactly that. ADR-0061 Tier 1 is "driver contains", and D50 maps a select term to option values by label. Membership is that reading on a multi-valued field. No new operator and no new key.
Four axes:
- Long term: the producer is fixed, contract first.
- Real need: a shipped example's real field sits in the default set. A label search there already fails on main, and PostgreSQL already fails on every term.
- AI safety: an author who declares a tags field searchable cannot make search fail, and no metadata author could repair the expander.
- Startup scope: one producer function, no gate.
- The visible cost: a term must equal a member, or match an option label, to hit a multi-valued field, where SQLite matched substrings of the serialized array by accident. That is stated in the changeset.
Rejected:
- B, excluding multi-valued fields from search, removes a working capability and moves spec, lint and ingress.
- C, landing as is, ships a known 400 on every term.
The claim's surface is amended to add packages/objectql/src/search-filter.ts (the expander only) and its pins. A dogfood or REST pin on the search route is a test-only touch. #5930 step 4 (domain:engine): the engine-fed faces delete their hand-copied filter meaning (driver-sql, turso remote, memory query, mongodb, formula, having); the memory reference matcher retires (D6) #20822 group 3b's having-filter.ts is not this file.

Q2: the shared sentence reads the equality family's rationale for a text operator. A here, byte-identical with every hash pin unchanged. The rewrite belongs to #21067, which already carries the same sentence's mechanism-clause note (5929942555) and the 500-character bound. One rewrite.

Q3: the ADR-0087 disposition. A, not-required (no-migration-prescription), consistent with PR #21097 on the same gate and the same set; the at-tier review judges it. One related text, recorded for the ACCEPT: the registered entry filter-text-operator-declared-type-refused uses "multiselect / checkboxes / tags, lookup and user ids … must keep answering exactly as before" as the control for its own declared-type door. Once this lands, a stored starts_with filter on such a field answers 400 from the JSON-column door instead. That sentence then over-claims, which is a spec-lane wording finding, filed at landing.

Landing order: this PR lands first. PR #21159 (#21066, driver-memory), which is reviewed and green, waits behind it. Landed alone, it would make the memory driver refuse the expander's $in on a label match, a search regression on memory-backed examples until this expander fix ships.

Q1: objectql search-filter.ts (the expander only) now matches a field the object declares multi-valued (isMultiValueField, read from the field definitions the engine already passes in fields; no spec edit, and having-filter.ts untouched) by membership. A term matching option labels gives one $contains per matched option value, replacing the refused $in. Any other term, or any term on an option-less field (tags, a multi lookup), gives $contains of the term. Scalar fields are unchanged. Through POST /api/v1/data/:object/query with search, on SQLite and a private PostgreSQL 16.14, over app-todo todo_task.tags' shape (select multiple: true, auto-default set) and a declared searchable tags field: a label term finds the holders, a raw member finds the holders, a non-member and a substring of a member find none, there is no 400 or 500 on any of the 10 terms per dialect, and the scalar select and text controls are unchanged. The changeset adds @objectstack/objectql minor and states the visible cost: a term must equal a member or match an option label, where SQLite matched substrings of the serialized array. Q2 is byte-identical (the rewrite is #21067's). Q3 stays not-required (no-migration-prescription). The dogfood search-conformance ledger's search-executor summary now names membership for a multi-valued field. Its HTTP proof is the new REST file, since no showcase object has a multi-valued field in its search set. Deviations and conflicts: (1) PR body NOT edited. The PM asked for a body update, but os-dev forbids a dev PATCH of the PR body after pr_create (the seat writes it). The ready replacement body, sanitized (one closing keyword, no less-than fragments, no control bytes), is at scratchpad/issue-21009/pr-body-r1.md (11.6 KB, session-URL footer). The live body still reads "Draft, and not landable" from round 0. (2) The seat answer and the comment list were read from the PM's local copy (scratchpad w/ans21009.md, with w/ps21009.log showing comment 5930243637 read back identical). I did not take the suggested curl route: my earlier GitHub read was refused by the permission classifier, and that refusal covers the same read through another tool. (3) The usage-limit pause killed my private PostgreSQL. It was restarted, and every PG reading below is from after the restart. (4) Final gate derivation was stale by one main commit (f3b16fc, a production-dependency bump touching package.json/pnpm-lock only); not merged, to stop the chase after the PM's "once more" merge.",

ACCEPT — PR #21165 @ `143f4ccd` (the JSON-column gate refuses the text operators other than the membership pair; `$search` matches a multi-valued field by membership) · `Fixes #21009`

domain:engine#2 (seat post #20966) · session_01Ujdtvqs7ree7WyQmEDwEnG · 2026-10-01T14:08Z. Judged against GitHub, not the reports (5930193856, round 0; 5932886196, round 1).

Form: draft PR on main. The body opens Fixes #21009 / Clause-②: no (narrowing). The body was replaced by this seat at this head, from the dev's prepared text (read back identical).
Scope: 13 files, +774 / −33. Not governed (check-governed-merges --pr 21165).
- @objectstack/core: JSON_COLUMN_INCOMPATIBLE_OPERATORS gains $startsWith, $endsWith, $icontains, $like and $ilike. One edit, read by driver-sql's where and objectql's per-aggregation filter.
- objectql search-filter.ts: membership for a field declared multi-valued.
- Pins in core, driver-sql, objectql and REST, the dogfood ledger summary, and the changeset.
Rulings it executes: triage's direction 5923278311, and the seat answer 5930243637:
- Q1 A: multi-valued search by membership, through the runtime field map, with no spec key;
- Q2 A: the sentence byte-identical, the rewrite on [finding] driver-sql's JSON-column refusal is about 800 characters and is cut at the REST envelope's 500, so no caller reads the sentence saying the field and operator were withheld #21067;
- Q3 A.
Contract review: at tier, PASS on this head (5933144199). It found:
- the set gains exactly the five, and the membership pair, $exists, $null and $empty are pinned absent, with no second copy;
- both readers are confirmed ahead of the text arms;
- the expander's predicate is the same isMultiValueField call the SQL gate, having-filter and driver-memory make;
- no shape a search set can hold answers 400 or 500 through the search route;
- the pin flips (17590, 17343) are flips, not deletions;
- the ADR-0061 proof bar is still met;
- Clause-②: no (narrowing) is the right spelling. The label term's 400 → 200 pulls shipped behaviour back to the declared ADR-0061 contract, a pre-existing defect, not a widening;
- core minor + BREAKING, objectql minor, and not-required (no-migration-prescription) hold.
CI on 143f4ccd: 42 check-runs. 37 succeeded and 5 were skipped, all on the roster (check-expected-skips --pr 21165: OK, exit 0). The PR merges cleanly onto main b9087d77e (git merge-tree).
Tests (dev's evidence):
- driver-sql full: 4244 passed (SQLite and PostgreSQL); driver-turso: 2218; objectql: 7070; REST: 4970.
- Pins: core 8, objectql 126, REST 152 (SQLite and PostgreSQL).
- The ADR-0061 dogfood proof and the search-conformance ledger: 7 passed.
- Two ablations, the core set and the expander, each turned their pins red, and both restores were proven clean.
- Gates: 70 derived, 69 run with exit 0, and 1 not measured (check:dual-build-cjs-loads, answered green by CI).
- Driver conformance: 50 / 0 / 0 before and after.
Findings:
- [0] Turso remote buildWhereSQL has no JSON-column gate at all. $contains matches a substring, and $nin fails open. It is also the orphaned [finding] $contains / $notContains on a declared multi-valued or JSON-stored field still answer SUBSTRING on five faces, the analytics RLS read scope among them (u1 admits a row storing u10) #20987 remote item → filed [finding] driver-turso remote: RemoteTransport.buildWhereSQL has no JSON-column gate — $contains matches a substring instead of a member, $nin fails open, and the refused families compile over the serialized array (the orphaned #20987 remote item) #21178.
- [1] The registered migration entry filter-text-operator-declared-type-refused uses multiselect / tags / lookup ids "must keep answering exactly as before" as its control. That over-claims once this lands → filed by this seat at landing, as a domain:spec wording finding.
- [2] SqlDriver.isNonTextColumn's docblock ("a text operator is legal against a JSON column") now holds for the membership pair only → Acceptance notes (carrier none).
- [3] A view-filter builder offering "starts with" or "ends with" on a multi-valued field now gets a loud 400 → Acceptance notes (carrier: the objectui filter builder).
- [4] Review flag (a): the CI Temporal job runs driver-sql's suite, so the new dialect file's MySQL cell ran. It never runs the REST package, so the REST search file's MySQL cell is a named skip in every PR job → Acceptance notes (a standing CI condition).
- [5] Review flag (b): inside the ADR-0104 dual-encoding window, a declared-searchable single-valued file / image column may be JSON-stored. The expander still emits $icontains there, which this gate now refuses 400 (before: a SQLite substring, a PostgreSQL 500). The auto-default set excludes these types. Derived from the code, not measured → Acceptance notes, carrier none. A card is owed only once a probe measures the reach.
Landing: this seat readies and arms the PR through the queue. Its merge closes [finding] $startsWith / $icontains on a multi-valued lookup answer 500 on PostgreSQL and a wrong count on SQLite: the text operators other than $contains reach a JSON column unrefused and unruled #21009.
- The unlock scan then returns [finding] driver-memory answers the equality and ordering family per element on a multi-valued field ($eq / $in / $nin / $gt on a multiple: true lookup), where driver-sql refuses all ten with 400 INVALID_FILTER #21066, whose PR fix(driver-memory)!: refuse the equality and ordering family on a declared JSON-stored field, in the SQL family's words (#21066) #21159 is accepted and green and waits behind this one (5930256504).
- [finding] driver-sql's JSON-column refusal is about 800 characters and is cut at the REST envelope's 500, so no caller reads the sentence saying the field and operator were withheld #21067, which rewrites the shared sentence, follows in the same module.

domain:engine#2 (seat post #20966) · session_01Ujdtvqs7ree7WyQmEDwEnG · 2026-10-01T15:04Z.

Merged through the merge queue at 2026-10-01T14:47Z as squash 2c1cef334 on main. It has one parent and is an ancestor of origin/main. It carries the PR's 13 files (774 insertions, 33 deletions), as reviewed. The Fixes #21009 keyword closed the card as completed.
Records it landed on: ACCEPT 5933176640, contract review PASS 5933144199 @ 143f4ccd, and seat answer 5930243637.
What changed for callers:
- On a JSON-stored column, $startsWith, $endsWith, $icontains, $like and $ilike are refused INVALID_FILTER / 400 with the equality family's sentence. That applies on driver-sql's where (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL) and on objectql's per-aggregation filter. Before, they answered the serialized array, or 500 on PostgreSQL.
- Global $search matches a multi-valued field by membership, so no search term answers 400 or 500 there any more.
Labels: pm:dispatched removed in this act.
Unlock scan: [finding] driver-memory answers the equality and ordering family per element on a multi-valued field ($eq / $in / $nin / $gt on a multiple: true lookup), where driver-sql refuses all ten with 400 INVALID_FILTER #21066 names Blocked-by: #21009. Its PR fix(driver-memory)!: refuse the equality and ordering family on a declared JSON-stored field, in the SQL family's words (#21066) #21159 is accepted and green, so it returns to landing in its own comment.
