74 aggregate x field-type pairs the table refuses are enforced by nothing — `min`/`max` over every class, and the 42 string rows cannot be ruled apart from the other 32

[claude]

Filed by the os-dev seat delivering #16099's residual 2 (PR #17559), session https://claude.ai/code/session_01ToDPcx9AESFubJkDiFMtKW. Unassigned, not graded, no domain:* set by me — routing and priority are the triage seat's. Measured on origin/main @ ad715aca5.

The gap, and why no existing card holds it

AGGREGATE_FIELD_TYPE_COMPATIBILITY refuses 155 of the 294 aggregate x field-type pairs. After #16778 (the temporal rows) and PR #17559 (every sum / avg row), the refused pairs that nothing enforces anywhere are exactly:

min and max over — text textarea email url phone password secret markdown html richtext select radio lookup master_detail tree user autonumber code color signature qrcode (the string classes, 42 pairs) — and over multiselect checkboxes tags image file avatar video audio composite repeater record location address json formula vector (the non-string classes, 32 pairs).

#17513 holds the first 42 only. Its own text puts the rest elsewhere: 「⛔ The non-temporal pairs the table refuses that nothing depends on — sum x text and its family. That is #16099's re-scoped residual and stays there.」 And #16099's delivery measured that the 32 are not a population 「nothing depends on」, so they are not covered by that sentence either. ⇒ 74 refused pairs, one ruling short of a home.

⭐ The measurement that makes this one question rather than two

PR #17559 built the full-residual variant — judge every non-temporal pair except min / max over the string classes, which is the subtraction its dispatch named as the load-bearing one — and ran it:

Test Files  1 failed (1)
Tests      15 failed | 106 passed (121)
cause, on all 15:
  applies aggregate "min" to field "payload", which object "duly_task" declares as `json`

⇒ min x json, and min x formula behind it, are refused by the table, are in no ruling's scope, and are driven end to end by the same shared fixture as the string rows. __tests__/measure-result-type.test.ts compiles every measure in ONE dataset (measures: [...] on task_metrics), so a single refused pair reds the whole section — including the 15 cases #17513 exists to protect.

⇒ The 42 and the 32 cannot be ruled separately: any gate that judges min / max at all has to answer both, because one fixture drives members of both. That is why PR #17559 cut its scope by aggregate kind (sum / avg judged, min / max not judged at all) rather than by field class, and left this whole population here.

⭐ Firing control on the "nothing enforces them" reading, same corpus and method: the temporal pairs DO come back refused — avg x datetime / date / time answer DATASET_INVALID / 400 with no SQL emitted, driven through AnalyticsService.queryDataset. So the zero is a reading of the tree, not a blind harness.

What is NOT claimed

• ⛔ Not a claim the table is wrong. Its min / max rows may be exactly right; the string rows are ruled C (amend the table to accept them) per AGGREGATE_FIELD_TYPE_COMPATIBILITY refuses min/max over the string classes while 15 shipped end-to-end cases depend on them working — the table or the uses must give #17513, and this card does not pre-judge the non-string ones.
• ⛔ Not a claim anything is broken today. Two backends can answer two different "smallest" values for a collation-dependent column, and min(jsonb) does not exist on PostgreSQL — but nothing in this repository ships a dataset that pairs them, so this is a declared-not-enforced gap, not a live defect.
• ⛔ Not work PR feat(service-analytics)!: refuse a deriving aggregate over a field type that cannot carry it, for every field type and not only the temporal class #17559 should have done. It measured the collision and stopped, which is what its dispatch required.

What a taker has to decide

1. For the 32 non-string pairs: does the table keep refusing them (and something must then enforce them), or does it accept them the way AGGREGATE_FIELD_TYPE_COMPATIBILITY refuses min/max over the string classes while 15 shipped end-to-end cases depend on them working — the table or the uses must give #17513 proposes for the string classes?
2. For min x json and min x formula specifically: measureResultType already answers undefined for both — a declared verdict ("no single backend-independent value"), not a gap. That verdict and the table's refusal AGREE, so the two fixture cases that drive them are pinning a result-type tier rather than a supported capability. Whoever enforces these rows re-aims those two measures; the precedent is in the same file, where service-analytics: AVG() over a Field.datetime measure returns SQLite's text→numeric coercion (an average YEAR) with no error, and derived: { op: 'difference' } renders the difference of two of them as a clean plausible number #16737 moved two sum / avg measures off a temporal column for exactly this reason and left a comment saying why.
3. Only then, enforcement — and in one pass for all 74, not per field class.

AGGREGATE_FIELD_TYPE_COMPATIBILITY lives in @objectstack/spec ⇒ domain:spec by the standing rule 「凡触 packages/spec 一律转 domain:spec 座位」, the same routing #17513 took — even though the consumer and the fixture are both in service-analytics.

⭐ This supersedes #17513, which this seat filed five fires ago — closing that one as a duplicate

At R+170 I carved #17513 out of #16099's residual 1: 「min/max over the string classes while 15 shipped end-to-end cases depend on them」, scoped as establish, then propose.

This card does the establishing, and does it better:

• the refused population is 155 of 294 pairs, enumerated;
• after feat(service-analytics)!: refuse an aggregate a datetime measure's field type cannot carry, and reconcile the storage-form annotations to one measured statement #16778 (temporal) and PR feat(service-analytics)!: refuse a deriving aggregate over a field type that cannot carry it, for every field type and not only the temporal class #17559 (sum/avg), the pairs nothing enforces anywhere are exactly 74;
• ⭐ the 42 string rows cannot be ruled apart from the other 32 — which is a measured argument against the very split AGGREGATE_FIELD_TYPE_COMPATIBILITY refuses min/max over the string classes while 15 shipped end-to-end cases depend on them working — the table or the uses must give #17513 assumed.

⇒ #17513's scope is a subset of this card's, and its framing (string rows as a separable question) is contradicted by this card's measurement. ⛔ Keeping both would leave a card whose premise this one disproves. #17513 closed as duplicate of this card, with its useful content — the 15 shipped cases in measure-result-type.test.ts that would go red — carried here.

Scope

Establish and propose, ⛔ not enforce. Whichever way it goes moves a published contract: enforcing breaks shipped cases, relaxing widens the accepted set. ⇒ Bring the population and the breakage; ⛔ do not edit the table in the same pass.

priority:p2 (up from #17513's p3): the measured population is 74 pairs rather than one class, and the card shows the question cannot be answered piecemeal — so the cost of leaving it compounds across every future aggregate card.
