**Root Utilities (3 files):**
- src/common.sql - Constant-time comparison, JSONB conversion, logging
- src/crypto.sql - pgcrypto extension enablement
- src/schema.sql - eql_v2 schema creation with warnings

**Documentation Quality:**
- ✅ Consistent use of @brief, @param, @return, @throws, @note, @see tags
- ✅ @internal tags mark implementation details vs customer-facing APIs
- ✅ @example sections show concrete usage for customer functions
- ✅ Cross-references create navigable documentation graph
- ✅ File-level @file documentation provides module context
- ✅ Security notes highlight timing attack prevention
- ✅ All tests pass - documentation doesn't break functionality

**Statistics:**
- Files modified: 13
- Functions documented: 32+
- Lines added: +718 gross, +555 net
- Test status: ✅ All 40+ test files passing

**Code Review:**
- Status: APPROVED (see CODE_REVIEW_PHASE_4_DOXYGEN.md)
- BLOCKING issues: 0
- NON-BLOCKING issues: 6 (addressed in follow-up commit)
- Review verified documentation accuracy against implementation
Address code review recommendations to improve documentation accuracy
and add safety warnings for DDL-executing functions.

**Documentation Improvements:**

1. **src/encryptindex/functions.sql:102-103** - Clarified select_target_columns
   - Enhanced note to explain full JOIN logic (checks both column_name
     and column_name_encrypted with type verification)
   - Previous: "LEFT JOIN returns NULL when no match"
   - Updated: Explains both name matching variants and type requirement

2. **src/jsonb/functions.sql:296** - Enhanced jsonb_array_length exception
   - More specific @throws documentation with exact error message
   - Previous: "if value is not an array (missing 'a' flag)"
   - Updated: "'cannot get array length of a non-array' if 'a' flag
     is missing or not true"

3. **src/jsonb/functions.sql:29** - Clarified NULL handling in jsonb_path_query
   - Precise SETOF return semantics
   - Previous: "Returns NULL if val is NULL"
   - Updated: "Returns a set containing NULL if val is NULL"

**Safety Warnings:**

4. **src/encryptindex/functions.sql:152** - Added @warning to create_encrypted_columns
   - Highlights dynamic DDL execution (ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN)
   - Alerts users to schema modification side effects

5. **src/encryptindex/functions.sql:180** - Added @warning to rename_encrypted_columns
   - Highlights dynamic DDL execution (ALTER TABLE RENAME COLUMN)
   - Alerts users to schema modification side effects

**Quality Assurance:**
- ✅ All tests passing (59 test files)
- ✅ Code review approved (CODE_REVIEW_PHASE_4_COMPLETE.md)
- ✅ 0 blocking issues
- ✅ All NON-BLOCKING recommendations addressed

**Note:** User fixed blocking code bug in jsonb_path_query_first separately
…ed_with_active_config

**Problem:**
Documentation incorrectly stated that the 'v' field stores the active
configuration ID, contradicting src/encrypted/constraints.sql:56 which
correctly documents that 'v' must be the literal payload version "2".

**Root Cause:**
The 'v' field serves a single, consistent purpose across the entire
codebase: it stores the EQL payload format version (currently "2").
It does NOT store configuration IDs.

**Fix:**
- Removed incorrect claim that 'v' stores configuration ID
- Clarified that 'v' field stores payload version "2"
- Updated function description to avoid implementation details
- Added note explaining the distinction

**Files Changed:**
- src/encryptindex/functions.sql:201-209

**Verification:**
- ✅ All tests passing (59 test files)
- ✅ Documentation now consistent with src/encrypted/constraints.sql:56
- ✅ No code changes - documentation-only fix

**Context:**
This addresses feedback about major documentation inconsistency where
two different files made contradictory claims about the 'v' field's
purpose. The payload version is always "2" for EQL v2, as enforced by
the _encrypted_check_v validation function.

Comprehensive evaluation of Phase 4 work against original plan:
- Coverage: 52/53 files documented (98%)
- Phase 4 tasks: All completed
- Quality: Code-reviewed and verified
- Deviations: Documented with rationale
- Next steps: Clear recommendations

Summary:
- Phase 4 COMPLETE ✅
- PR #143 ready for merge
- Phases 5-6 optional (infrastructure/QA)
- src/version.sql excluded (auto-generated)
@tobyhede tobyhede force-pushed the phase-4-doxygen branch 2 times, most recently from 16c1336 to ba2d50e Compare October 28, 2025 01:12
Document version.template (source of auto-generated version.sql):
- @file and @brief for template purpose
- Full documentation for eql_v2.version() function
- @note explaining template and build-time replacement
- @example showing usage

This achieves 100% documentation coverage (53/53 files) by
documenting the source template rather than the generated file.
The documentation will be preserved through build process.
- Updated version.template to avoid awkward $RELEASE_VERSION text replacement in docs
- Changed @file tag from version.template to version.sql (the generated file)
- Simplified documentation to avoid version string in prose
- Added comment in build.sh clarifying Doxygen comment preservation
- Added validation scripts for documentation quality assurance:
  - check-doc-coverage.sh: Reports documentation coverage (100%)
  - validate-documented-sql.sh: Validates SQL syntax
  - validate-required-tags.sh: Checks for required @brief, @param, @return tags

The sed command in build.sh already preserves all Doxygen comments from
the template, ensuring the generated version.sql is fully documented.
- Document required and optional Doxygen tags
- Provide comprehensive documentation example
- Reference validation tools for quality assurance
- Add note about template file documentation
- Update development notes to reference new standards

This establishes clear documentation guidelines for all SQL functions
and types in the EQL codebase.
- Add validate-docs job that runs before tests
- Check documentation coverage (must be 100%)
- Validate required Doxygen tags (@brief, @param, @return)
- Tests depend on passing documentation validation

This ensures all PRs maintain documentation quality standards.
- Create comprehensive Doxyfile for API documentation generation
- Configure for SQL file parsing (treated as C++ for Doxygen)
- Enable HTML output to docs/api directory
- Exclude test files and build artifacts
- Add docs/api/ to .gitignore for generated documentation

To generate documentation:
  doxygen Doxyfile

Output will be in docs/api/html/index.html
- Document how to generate API documentation with Doxygen
- Explain documentation standards and required tags
- Reference validation tools for quality assurance
- Link to CLAUDE.md for contribution guidelines
- Note automatic CI validation for PRs

This makes documentation generation and standards visible to all users
and contributors.
- Add docs:generate task to generate API documentation with Doxygen
- Add docs:validate task to run coverage and tag validation
- Document Doxygen installation via brew/apt in README
- Update CLAUDE.md with new mise commands
- Provide both mise and direct command usage examples

Note: Doxygen is not available in mise registry, so must be installed
separately via system package manager (brew, apt, etc.)
@tobyhede tobyhede changed the title docs(sql): add Doxygen comments to Phase 4 modules docs(sql): add Doxygen comments to modules Oct 28, 2025
- Simplified Doxyfile to minimal working configuration
- Added doxygen-filter.sh to convert SQL comments (--!) to C++ style (//!)
- Set FILTER_SOURCE_FILES=YES to apply filter to all SQL files
- Set EXTRACT_ALL=YES to extract all documented entities
- Removed obsolete Doxygen tags causing warnings

The key issue was that Doxygen's C++ parser cannot recognize SQL-style
--! comments. The input filter is REQUIRED to convert them to //! which
Doxygen understands.

Tested: Generates 213 HTML files with full documentation content.
- Fix validate-required-tags.sh to use BSD-compatible sed instead of grep -P
- Update GitHub workflow to use 'mise run docs:validate' instead of direct scripts
- Update CLAUDE.md to recommend mise tasks as primary validation method
- Maintain backward compatibility with direct script execution

The grep -oP flag is a GNU extension not available in BSD grep (macOS).
Replaced with sed pattern matching for cross-platform compatibility.

CI now uses mise for consistency with local development workflow.
- Add missing @brief, @param, @return tags to operators
  - src/operators/~~.sql: Add function documentation for LIKE operator
  - src/operators/<>.sql: Add @param and @return tags

- Fix validate-required-tags.sh to handle longer comment blocks
  - Increased tail from 20 to 100 lines to capture complete comments
  - Previous limit was truncating @brief tags in longer documentation blocks
  - Fixes false positive errors for well-documented functions

All validation now passes with 0 errors and 0 warnings.
