Summary

This PR fixes integration test failures discovered during the January 25, 2026 audit session.

Changes

Bug Fixes

  1. EXISTS Subquery Schema Context (src/render_plan/render_expr.rs)

    • Problem: EXISTS subqueries were using wrong table (e.g., brahmand.follows_expressions_test instead of brahmand.user_follows_bench)
  2. WITH+Aggregation Scalar Export (src/render_plan/plan_builder_utils.rs)

    • Problem: Queries like WITH count(r) AS total RETURN total failed with "CTE not found" errors
    • Root Cause: Scalar exports from WITH clauses (TableAlias and PropertyAccessExp types) weren't generating proper CTE references
    • Solution: Added handling for TableAlias and PropertyAccessExp in export_single_with_item_to_cte()
  3. Denormalized VLP Inline Predicates (earlier commit)

    • Fixed property mapping for denormalized VLP inline predicates

Housekeeping

  • Applied cargo fmt formatting across affected files
  • Removed trailing whitespace
  • Updated STATUS.md and CHANGELOG.md with fix documentation

Test Results

Metric Result
Integration tests 233 passed, 32 skipped, 5 xfailed, 3 xpassed

Files Changed

- Extended inline property extraction to all VLP patterns (not just shortestPath)
  in match_clause.rs by changing condition to include rel.variable_length.is_some()
- Fixed get_node_label_for_alias() in cte_extraction.rs to check node.label directly
  for denormalized GraphNodes (whose input is Empty) before falling back to ViewScan
- Properly maps {code: 'LAX'} to rel.Origin = 'LAX' for denormalized schemas
- All 790 unit tests pass
…E references

When RETURN clause references scalar variables defined in WITH (e.g.,
WITH count(r) AS total_follows RETURN total_follows), the SELECT item
rewriting was failing to recognize CTE column references.

Fixed by adding handling for TableAlias and PropertyAccessExp that
reference CTE columns - these are now passed through directly instead
of being expanded as node properties.

Query pattern fixed:
  MATCH (a:User)-[r:FOLLOWS]->(b:User)
  WITH count(r) AS total_follows, count(DISTINCT a) AS unique_followers
  RETURN total_follows, unique_followers

Test results: 601 passed, 3 failed (EXISTS subquery - separate issue)
The EXISTS subquery was incorrectly using the wrong table because
tokio::task_local! requires .scope() wrapper to be accessible.

Without .scope(), try_with() silently returns None, causing the
fallback schema search to find the first schema with a matching
relationship type (property_expressions_simple.yaml with FOLLOWS)
instead of the actual query schema (social_benchmark.yaml).

Changed to thread_local! which works for HTTP request handlers since
each request runs on a single thread and completes before another
request uses that thread's local storage.

Fixes: EXISTS subquery using wrong table (follows_expressions_test
instead of user_follows_bench)
- Run cargo fmt to fix formatting issues across multiple files
- Remove trailing whitespace in plan_builder_utils.rs
- Update STATUS.md with January 25 fixes and test counts
- Update CHANGELOG.md with EXISTS subquery and WITH+aggregation fixes
- Test status: 233 passed, 32 skipped, 5 xfailed, 3 xpassed

get_table_alias_for_cte logs a lot of internal registry state at warn level. This is likely to be called in hot paths (per select item/property) and will create noisy production logs. Please downgrade to debug/trace and/or guard with log::log_enabled! to avoid formatting cost.

This branch hard-codes the VLP CTE FROM alias as the string literal "t". The codebase already has VLP_CTE_FROM_ALIAS; using the constant avoids drift if the alias ever changes and makes the intent clearer.

println! in extract_joins will write to stdout for every query plan, bypassing the configured logger and impacting performance. Please replace these with log::debug!/trace! (or the existing crate::debug_println! macro) and keep them behind an appropriate log level.

With thread_local! state, it’s critical that schema context is cleared on all exit paths. The current handler has early returns (e.g., cache-hit) that bypass resetting the schema, which can leak schema context across requests on the same worker thread. Consider an RAII guard or a scoped context to guarantee cleanup.

set_cte_column_registry(...) relies on tokio::task_local! storage (render_plan/mod.rs) but the codebase does not call .scope(...) anywhere, so this is a silent no-op (the try_with error is ignored). As a result, CTE property/table-alias resolution from the registry will not work reliably here. Consider either (a) wrapping request rendering in a task-local .scope(...) in the handler, or (b) switching the registry context to a thread_local!/explicit parameter passed through the render call chain, consistent with the approach taken for schema context.

The CTE column registry (and denormalized alias map) is set here but never cleared. If/when the registry context becomes active (e.g., after adding a .scope(...)), this will leak state across subsequent renders in the same task/thread and can corrupt property resolution. Please clear the registry/denormalized aliases before returning (similar to the Projection-over-WithClause path).

// Ensure CTE column registry and denormalized aliases do not leak

This block uses println! for debug output during planning. Please switch these to the log crate (debug/trace) or gate behind a feature flag so stdout isn’t spammed in production.

// Thread-local storage for the current schema name (per-query context)

// Why task-local instead of thread-local:
// - thread_local: Shared by all async tasks on same OS thread (UNSAFE for concurrent queries)
// - task_local: Each async task gets isolated storage (SAFE)
// NOTE: Using thread_local! instead of tokio::task_local! because:
// - task_local! requires wrapping ALL query processing in a .scope() call
// - The current architecture doesn't easily support that pattern

Using thread_local! for per-request schema context is unsafe in an async Axum/Tokio server: requests can interleave on the same OS thread across .await points, causing schema context to bleed between queries. Prefer tokio::task_local! with a request-wide .scope(...), or pass schema_name explicitly through render APIs.

Addresses Copilot review feedback from PR #40:

- Created unified QueryContext module (src/server/query_context.rs)
  - Implements .scope() wrapper via with_query_context() function
  - Contains all per-query state: schema_name, cte_registry,
    denormalized_aliases, relationship_columns, cte_property_mappings,
    multi_type_vlp_aliases

- Refactored handlers.rs to wrap query processing in with_query_context()
  - Each request gets isolated context via task_local .scope()
  - Context automatically cleaned up when task completes
  - No state leakage between concurrent queries

- Updated render_plan/mod.rs, render_expr.rs, to_sql_query.rs
  - All modules now delegate to unified query_context
  - Consistent API for all context access

This fix ensures concurrent queries don't interfere with each other's
state, which was a critical concurrency bug identified by Copilot.

Tests: 792 unit tests pass, 233 integration tests pass
