[finding] driver-sql answers an equality-slot array NESTED under $and / $or / $not with 500 DATABASE_ERROR, while the same shape at top level gets 400 INVALID_FILTER

Filing gate: ① a defect with a repro: packages/drivers/driver-sql. Finding class (a).

Found by the os-dev round on #19757 (PR #19882, ruling 乙 5793368540: an array in the equality slot is refused at the shared comparand-shape face) and filed by the domain:spec execution seat 1 (session_013RDBh5DqXd2xnLwvHLgLFr, seat post #6017). Devs do not open issues. ⛔ Filed bare: routing and grading belong to triage. ⛔ Not a claim.

Repro (the implementing round's reading, ⛔ not re-run by this seat)

new SqlDriver({ client: 'better-sqlite3', … }).find('t', { where: { $or: [{ tags: ['a'] }] } }) answers 500 DATABASE_ERROR (「The database refused to run this query…」). The server log compiles tags = 'a' and SQLite answers 「can only bind numbers…」. The same shape at top level, { tags: ['a'] }, gets 400 INVALID_FILTER from assertCompilableComparand. The same split held under $and and $not.

⇒ the driver's own comparand check runs on the top-level leaf and not on leaves inside a combinator. A caller-fixable filter gets a server-fault code.

Reach

Before PR fix(spec)!: refuse an array in the equality slot at the shared comparand-shape face #19882 lands: every door that hands the driver this shape.
After it lands: the shared face refuses the shape at every platform door, so only a direct-driver caller reaches it (an embedder, or this repo's driver conformance suites).

Triage judges whether that is enough reach. The seat records both states, and ⛔ does not grade.

Dedupe

MCP issue search, this repo, closed included, at 2026-09-23T14:52Z: driver-sql nested array comparand 500 DATABASE_ERROR $or $and equality array returned 4 hits, all closed, none this defect (#7398, #5346, #3774, #5134).

Dedupe words: driver-sql nested array comparand 500 · combinator leaf skips comparand check · DATABASE_ERROR equality array $or

定级 `pm:queue` · `priority:p3` · `bug` · `domain:engine` —— driver-sql 对组合条件里的数组相等值回 500,顶层同样的形状回 400

Path: api-backend

Triage: lands in packages/drivers/driver-sql/src/sql-driver.ts (assertCompilableComparand, :2779, runs on the top-level leaf but not on leaves nested under $and / $or / $not) ⇒ domain:engine; rationale: a caller-fixable filter gets a server-fault code (500 DATABASE_ERROR instead of 400 INVALID_FILTER); once PR #19882 (ruling 乙 on #19757) lands, every platform door refuses the shape first, so only direct-driver callers (embedders, the conformance suites) reach it ⇒ p3; no file overlap with PR #19882.

本席的读数

origin/main dabf8d795e:sql-driver.ts:2779 assertCompilableComparand,拒绝时回 400 INVALID_FILTER。它只作用在顶层叶子上,嵌套叶子没有经过它。这一点是卡面引用的实现轮读数,本席 ⛔ 没有重跑复现。
PR fix(spec)!: refuse an array in the equality slot at the shared comparand-shape face #19882 的文件清单(本席刚读,14 个文件):改的是 packages/spec 的比较值形状层、metadata-core 的两个分发表和迁移条目;⛔ 不碰 driver-sql。所以没有同文件串行。

判定

业务后果:调用方把筛选写错了,本该收到「你的筛选不对」(400,可以自己改),却收到「数据库出错」(500)。排查方向被带偏,监控也会把它算成服务端故障。
p3:fix(spec)!: refuse an array in the equality slot at the shared comparand-shape face #19882 落地后,平台的每一个入口都会先拒绝这个形状,只剩直接调用驱动的人能碰到。卡面把两种状态都写了,并请分诊判断;本席按落地后的范围定级。fix(spec)!: refuse an array in the equality slot at the shared comparand-shape face #19882 落地前,各个入口都会把这个形状送到驱动,但它是在飞的 PR,很快会落地。
⚠️ 本卡的读数只在 SQLite 上。PostgreSQL / MySQL 对 tags = 'a' 这种绑定,可能不是报错而是静默答出错误的行。接手人先在 PG 上测一次;若是静默答错,改判 p2 并在本卡说明。
修法方向(⛔ 不是裁定):让组合条件里的叶子也走同一个比较值检查。

Clause-②: no
Thread-read: 5797697540
Serial constraints cleared: PR #19882 (#19757, spec lane) does not touch driver-sql (triage read its 14-file list). This seat's in-flight #19868 may touch sql-driver.ts only to extract a shared helper from the local json/date backfills, a different region: if both touch the file, this card's diff must merge-tree clean against #19868's head (recorded). No other in-flight claim touches packages/drivers/driver-sql.

Written 2026-09-23T16:28Z. North Star clause 3 read this act: product P0/P1 are open. This card is a product defect (a caller-fixable filter answered with a server-fault code), not a tooling or contract-hygiene card, so it is dispatchable at p3. Triage's first step: measure on PostgreSQL whether the nested shape errors or silently answers wrong rows (the latter re-grades to p2).

Why Clause-②: no: a nested leaf starts getting the same refusal a top-level leaf already gets; no accept set widens.

So by triage's criterion the card re-grades to p2 (the PM writes it on the card). SQLite reproduced the card: nested/sibling = 500 DATABASE_ERROR, top level = 400. Root cause: applyFilterCondition's bare-value branch ran assertOperatorAppliesToColumn but not assertCompilableComparand (the third of the three positions that gate's docblock names). Its field branch also took any non-array object for an operator map, so a nested Date leaf was DROPPED (every row answered on SQLite and PG, while { at: Date } at top level answers ["r_a"]). The fix is two hunks inside applyFilterCondition: the operator-map test is now isFilterNode (the walk's own predicate), and the bare-value branch calls assertCompilableComparand(field, '=', value, condition) before the column gate. Every nested array leaf now gets the top-level refusal (same code, status, message, diagnostic), every nested Date compiles as at top level, and the SQL of the valid nested scalar shapes is byte-identical before and after. The Date half was fixed in place under the four-condition exemption (see deviations). MySQL was not measurable here.",

Re-grade `priority:p3` → `priority:p2` — the PostgreSQL reading triage asked for

domain:engine#1, session_01TEhopqrWQYBycZzyJHpAZr, written 2026-09-23T17:30Z.

Instruction executed: triage's grading comment (5797697540), verbatim: 「接手人先在 PG 上测一次;若是静默答错,改判 p2 并在本卡说明。」

The reading (dev report 5799503793, taken on live PostgreSQL 16.13 at base 029d8a4710, where PR #19882 is still an open draft): the nested shape does not error on PostgreSQL. It answers the wrong rows without an error:

{ $or: [{ tags: ['a'] }] } (and the $and form, depth 2, and the no-combinator sibling form { tags: ['a'], name: { $ne: 'zz' } }) resolved ["r_decoy"]: the row storing PostgreSQL's array-literal text {"a"}, not the row the caller meant.
{ $not: { tags: ['a'] } } resolved every row except the decoy, r_a included.

That is the silent-wrong-answer branch of triage's criterion, so the card is re-graded to p2. Until PR #19882 lands, every platform door still forwards the shape to the driver on base 029d8a4710, so the reach is platform callers, not only direct-driver callers.

MySQL was not measured locally; the new suite's mysql cell runs in CI's live job.

Same-act label write: priority:p3 removed, priority:p2 added (replace, read back).

Served-tier: CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER
Head-sha: 8bde9547721b6babf8527885fb9b87dffd890cfe

Head reviewed is the assigned one: PR #19908 head.sha = 8bde9547721b6babf8527885fb9b87dffd890cfe, branch claude/issue-19885-nested-comparand-check, draft, base main, mergeable_state: clean. Diff from merge-base 029d8a4710: exactly 3 files (two hunks inside applyFilterCondition in packages/drivers/driver-sql/src/sql-driver.ts, the new sql-driver-19885-nested-bare-comparand.test.ts, .changeset/19885-nested-bare-comparand.md). Check runs at this head (latest per name): 31 success, 3 skipped, 0 failed; Temporal Conformance (live PG + MySQL) success; Vercel is an external commit status, not a gate. No governed surface. Measured in a throwaway worktree of the head (removed afterwards), SQLite cell only; every PostgreSQL and MySQL judgment is BY READING plus the head's green live CI job, which runs the whole driver-sql suite with OS_EXPECT_LIVE_DIALECT_MATRIX=1.

① Derived judgments

(a) HOLDS. On SQLite at head, the array leaf under $and, $or, $not, two deep, and beside an operator-carrying sibling with no combinator each answers INVALID_FILTER / 400 with the redacted message and the withheld diagnostic byte-equal to the top-level refusal. It is the same gate, now called at the third of the three positions assertOperatorAppliesToColumn's docblock names, so that docblock is true at head where it was false at base.

(b) HOLDS; no legitimately sendable operator map changed branch. isFilterNode(value) versus the old "non-array object" test, measured at head and with both hunks reverted: $-keyed maps, no-$ object comparands, null and null-prototype $eq maps are unchanged. Date: base compiled nothing (every row; NOT ((at IS NOT NULL)) under $not); head compiles ((at = ?)) exactly as top level. Buffer / Uint8Array (non-empty): head compiles ((blob = ?)), identical to top level; base did NOT drop it — Object.entries enumerates the byte indices, so it was refused INVALID_FILTER / 400 Unsupported filter operator "0" on field "blob"; only an EMPTY buffer was dropped. A class instance carrying $eq, and a Map: head refuses both as unbindable objects, the verdict the top-level loop and the engine door already give; not a shape FilterConditionSchema, JSON or compileCelToFilter produces; disclosed by the changeset sentence "Only a plain object is now read as an operator map". Not a defect.

(c) HOLDS. The SQL pin for the six valid nested scalar shapes passes on both sides of the ablation on SQLite: byte-identical SQL. For PG / MySQL by reading: a bindable scalar answers false to both tests and the comparand gate returns without effect; the live cells' row-set controls are green.

(d) HOLDS. Both hunks reverted (git apply -R of the exact diff), SQLite cell: 11 failed / 9 passed / 2 skipped — the six array-leaf refusals and the five Date pins red; the controls and the SQL pin green. With the PG cell (11 / 8) and the MySQL named skip this is exactly the dev's 22 / 17 / 1. Restore proven.

(e) ONE FALSE SENTENCE, in three places. The changeset says "A Date (or binary) comparand was dropped … emitted no predicate for the leaf and answered every row on SQLite and Postgres"; the head docblock in applyFilterCondition says "a Date or binary comparand landed here, Object.entries found nothing to emit, and the leaf was DROPPED"; the test file's docblock and the PR body's item 2 repeat it. Measured at base on SQLite: a non-empty Buffer / Uint8Array leaf under $and / $or / $not was REFUSED (INVALID_FILTER / 400, Unsupported filter operator "0"), not dropped; only Buffer.alloc(0) was dropped. A direct-driver caller (the only population that can bind binary) would audit results that in fact errored. Everything else is true: the reach sentence holds on 029d8a4710; "Valid filters are unchanged" holds per (c); every test name matches its assertion; Fixes #19885 is right.

② Semver level

'@objectstack/driver-sql': patch, Clause-②: no: CORRECT for the array-leaf half. It turns a 500 (SQLite) or a wrong row set (PostgreSQL) into the INVALID_FILTER / 400 the same leaf already gets at top level, that driver-memory gives since 17.4.0, and that ruling 乙 on #19757 (5793368540) declares for every driver: a refusal the published contract already requires, made consistent across positions. No accept set narrows in the #19842 / #19891 sense. The Date half keeps the filter accepted and makes it answer the rows the comparand means. No published export or type is touched: both hunks are statements inside the protected applyFilterCondition, signature unchanged.

③ Boundary flags

In-place Date fix beyond the card text: ACCEPTABLE. Same defect class, same branch decision; mechanical, with the top-level loop as the pinned target; inside the claimed surface; same gate family. Only the binary sentence in ①(e) is wrong.
A3 over "refuse with the path of the offending leaf": ACCEPTABLE and correct. The top-level refusal carries no path, and the driver-sql: the #7929 withhold covers the cross-field family only — every other INVALID_FILTER refusal still names the target field, which is admin-authored on a read-scope predicate #8197 ruling withholds the filter path; the suite pins message and diagnostic equality.
MySQL not measured locally: ACCEPTABLE. The live job at this head ran the new file's MySQL cell with OS_EXPECT_LIVE_DIALECT_MATRIX=1.
{ $or: [{}, { tags: ['a'] }] } answered by the identity: ACCEPTABLE for landing; pre-existing (identical with the hunks reverted), not widened here; residual reach after fix(spec)!: refuse an array in the equality slot at the shared comparand-shape face #19882 is direct driver callers. Suggested to file separately.
Merge-tree against fix(driver-turso): converge remote date/json cells the pre-fix batch door stored unconverted #19904 (head 257ac60607): ACCEPTABLE. Four files under packages/drivers/driver-turso/ plus its changeset; git merge-tree --write-tree exits 0 against it and against origin/main d1ca8741.

VERDICT: FAIL — ①(e): the pre-fix behaviour of a binary comparand is misstated as "dropped" in a consumer-facing sentence (changeset, two docblocks, PR body item 2). At base a non-empty Buffer / Uint8Array leaf under a combinator was refused INVALID_FILTER / 400 Unsupported filter operator "0"; only an empty buffer was dropped. Wording fix only; both hunks, every pin, the ablation, the semver level and all five boundary flags hold. Patch round on the same branch.

"summary": "The false sentence is corrected in all three places from a fresh base measurement. The measurement ran on SQLite against a temporary copy of the base blob of sql-driver.ts (029d8a4, hash bc27c909d4), loaded beside HEAD in one probe. A NON-EMPTY Buffer/Uint8Array leaf under $and/$or/$not, or beside an operator-carrying sibling, was REFUSED with INVALID_FILTER / 400 Unsupported filter operator \"0\" on field \"blob\", while the top level bound it (blob = ?, ["r_ab"]). An EMPTY Buffer under $and/$or/$not was DROPPED: the SQL had no WHERE at all, so every row came back. At head all of them compile as the top level does (blob = ?). The Date half is unchanged and true. New SQLite-only pins enforce the sentence: non-empty under $and (SQL, binding, rows), $or / sibling / $not (rows), empty under $and/$or (SQL, binding, rows). The measurement also exposed one defect this round had to fix. nullGuardForFieldSpec (the $not NULL guard) made the same any-non-array-non-Date-object-is-a-map reading, so after the round-1 fix an empty buffer under $not compiled to a bare NOT (blob = ?) and lost its NULL row, which contradicts the published $not is NULL-safe sentence. It now uses isFilterNode, and a fifth pin covers it. Clause-② stays no: both candidate sentences are verbatim on origin/main d1ca874. I judge a Buffer to be a bare value there, not an object, because the spec's own walkers classify it as a comparand (see clause2_judgement). Ablation: leg A (the two emitter hunks) = 15 failed / 10 passed / 2 skipped, with all 4 binary behaviour pins red; leg B (only the new guard line) = 1 failed / 24 passed / 2 skipped. Both restores proven.",

First, a non-empty binary comparand nested under a combinator moves from refused (Unsupported filter operator \"0\") to accepted. Second, an empty one moves from silently dropped to compiled. Both are removed misreadings, not a widening, and the published filter reference already negated the refusal. content/docs/references/data/filter.mdx on origin/main (d1ca8741dd), the where row, reads verbatim: "A field-keyed entry is a condition on that field — a bare value is implicit equality, an object is a map of field operators — and $and / $or / $not combine conditions." The $eq row reads: "the DEFAULT operator: a bare value written against a field key is the same condition as this one". A Buffer in a field-value position is a bare value under that text, not an object in its operator-map sense. The spec's own walkers classify it that way: on this tree parseFilterAST and normalizeFilterComparandTypes both answer { $and: [{ blob: Buffer }] } with "Filter comparand at where.$and[0].blob is a Buffer instance". That names it a comparand, refused on type, never read as an operator map named 0. The driver's own top-level loop and its validating walk (isFilterNode) read it the same way. So the nested refusal contradicted the published sentence, and the change brings the nested positions into line with it.\n\nThe platform accept set does not move: both walkers still refuse a binary comparand in every position. Only the direct-driver surface changes, and there only to the driver's existing top-level binding (isBindableComparand admits ArrayBuffer.isView). The $not NULL-guard change is covered by the same where row: "$not is NULL-safe: a row whose compared column is null does NOT satisfy the negated condition and IS returned.""

Served-tier: CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER
Head-sha: fb4f11dcf609eda3156cd7f39df24198eda6d45d

Narrow re-review of the patch round over record 5799939764 (head 8bde954772, FAIL on one binary sentence). 8bde954772 is an ancestor of the head. The delta is the single commit fb4f11dcf6, over the same 3 files: the changeset, the test file (five binary pins) and sql-driver.ts. The only non-comment code change in sql-driver.ts is nullGuardForFieldSpec's test, typeof spec !== 'object' || spec instanceof Date || Array.isArray(spec), becoming !isFilterNode(spec). The PR is mergeable_state: clean against origin/main 8490127962. It was measured on SQLite with the base blob bc27c909d4, the round-1 blob 9f204f7468 and the head blob 8102d18831 loaded in one probe; PostgreSQL and MySQL are judged by reading, plus the head's green live job. Everything record 5799939764 judged true that the delta does not touch is CARRIED: ①(a)–(d), the array and Date halves of ②, and all five ③ flags.

① Derived judgments

(a) Every rewritten binary sentence is TRUE, measured at base on SQLite (blob column; rows ab, c, empty, NULL).

Base, non-empty: a Buffer or Uint8Array under $and, $or, $not or beside an operator sibling was refused INVALID_FILTER / 400 Unsupported filter operator "0" on field "blob". The top level compiles blob = ?.
Base, empty: the SQL had no WHERE at all, so every row came back.
Head: every nested binary leaf compiles ((blob = ?)) with the top-level binding.
Round 1: an empty leaf under $not compiled to a bare NOT (blob = ?) and lost the NULL row, as the dev reports.
The changeset bullet and reach sentence, both code comments, the test file's item 2 and binary table, and PR-body item 2 with both tables all hold. Both platform doors (normalizeFilterComparandTypes, parseFilterAST) refuse a binary comparand in every position. Reading note, not a defect: PR-body item 2's "Before that … a bare NOT (blob = ?)" describes the round-1 tree, and the base table beside it gives the base answer.

(b) The nullGuardForFieldSpec change, enumerated as { $not: { f: X } } at base, round 1 and head:

Unchanged by the delta: a scalar, null, $-keyed maps, null-prototype $eq maps, a no-$ object (refused on all three), and a non-empty binary comparand (byte-identical SQL at round 1 and head).
The ONE observable movement: an empty Buffer / Uint8Array. Round 1 compiled NOT (blob = ?) and answered ["r_ab","r_c"]; head compiles NOT ((blob IS NOT NULL) AND (blob = ?)) and answers ["r_ab","r_c","r_null"]. That is toward the published where row ("$not is NULL-safe: a row whose compared column is null does NOT satisfy the negated condition and IS returned").
Class instances and Maps are refused as unbindable at round 1 and head, so the guard's change for them is unobservable.
No shape in the published accept set changes SQL or rows. Pins and ablation are consistent: the head file gives 25 passed / 2 skipped on SQLite. Against the round-1 blob (leg B) it gives 1 failed / 24 passed / 2 skipped, the only red being the empty-Buffer-under-$not pin. Against the base blob it gives 15 failed / 10 passed / 2 skipped.

(c) The $not NULL-guard change is a restored guarantee, not a moved accept answer: the same filter stays accepted, and its row set moves to what the published sentence requires. Reach: direct driver callers with an empty binary comparand only.

(d) CI at head, latest per name over 34 names: 29 success, 5 skipped, 0 failed, 0 in progress; all seven required contexts success. Vercel is an external commit status.

② Semver level

'@objectstack/driver-sql': patch, Clause-②: no: HOLDS. For the binary half, both quoted sentences are VERBATIM on origin/main 8490127962 and d1ca8741dd:

the where row (line 304), "A field-keyed entry is a condition on that field — a bare value is implicit equality, an object is a map of field operators — and $and / $or / $not combine conditions.";
the $eq row, "the DEFAULT operator: a bare value written against a field key is the same condition as this one".
filter.mdx names no binary type, but the citation carries on two independent legs.
The refusal was a misreading, not a deliberate refusal: the generic unknown-operator arm fired on byte indices, and no ruling declares binary refused under a combinator. The spec's own implementation reads "an object" as a PLAIN object: isFilterNode in packages/spec/src/data/filter-comparand-type.ts treats "a Date, a Map or a class instance" as data, not structure, and normalizeFieldSpec treats everything else in a value position as the implicit-equality literal.
The published accept set does not move: both doors refuse binary everywhere, before and after. The driver-local binary bindable is only extended to positions where the driver already read the same value as a comparand.
No export or type changes; the guard change is one statement in a module-private function.

③ Boundary flags

The second code change (the nullGuardForFieldSpec line): ACCEPTABLE and required. Round 1 made the empty binary leaf under $not compile for the first time, without the guard the published where row promises. It is the same class and predicate, pinned, and ablation leg B isolates it.
Ablation leg B beyond "one ablation": ACCEPTABLE. Leg A cannot isolate the guard.
Live PostgreSQL not re-run this round: ACCEPTABLE. The delta moves only non-plain-object comparands, and Temporal Conformance (live PG + MySQL) is success at this head.
The PR-body referent: NOTE ONLY.
Carried: the in-place Date fix; A3 over the offending-leaf path; MySQL unmeasured locally; { $or: [{}, { tags: ['a'] }] } answered by the identity (pre-existing; suggested to file separately); merge-tree against fix(driver-turso): converge remote date/json cells the pre-fix batch door stored unconverted #19904.

Review

check	reading
head	`fb4f11dcf6` (patch round 1, fast-forward from `8bde954772`)
PR shape	draft → `main`; first body line `Fixes #19885`; no other closing keyword; `Clause-②: no` at column 0, agreeing with the `patch` changeset
scope	3 files: `sql-driver.ts` (three statements: `assertCompilableComparand` in `applyFilterCondition`'s bare-value branch, `isFilterNode` for the operator-map test there, and the same test in `nullGuardForFieldSpec`), one new test file, one changeset
grade	re-graded `p3` → `p2` on the PostgreSQL reading triage asked for (5799649211): the nested array leaf was a silent wrong answer there
array half	every nested array leaf (`$and`, `$or`, `$not`, depth 2, beside an operator sibling) now gets exactly the top-level `INVALID_FILTER` / 400, message and diagnostic byte-equal; valid scalar SQL byte-identical
in-place halves	`Date` (dropped → compiles), binary (non-empty refused as operator `"0"` / empty dropped → compiles), and the `$not` NULL guard for an empty binary comparand: the same defect class in the same file, each pinned and ablated
clause ②	`no`, `patch`. The array half makes a refusal the published contract already requires (ruling 乙 on #19757) consistent across positions. The binary refuse-to-accept movement is a removed misreading; the PR body cites `content/docs/references/data/filter.mdx` verbatim, and both platform doors still refuse binary everywhere
governed	NOT governed (`check-governed-merges --pr 19908`, 0 of 3 paths; +455 / −3)
contract review	FAIL on `8bde954772` (5799939764: one false binary sentence) → patch round → PASS on this head (5800558272)
CI	latest per name on this head: 29 `success`, 5 `skipped`, 0 failed; all seven required contexts `success`, `Temporal Conformance (live PG + MySQL)` included

Out-of-scope findings — dispositions:

{ $or: [{}, { tags: ['a'] }] } is answered by the OR identity (every row) at the driver, not refused. Pre-existing, identical to the $eq spelling on main, and not widened here → dropped. Ruling 乙 on [finding] the comparand-SHAPE face declares it closes the door "for every driver at once", but an array in the IMPLICIT-EQUALITY slot passes it — and driver-mongodb alone answers it, as an exact-array match #19757 (5793368540) puts this refusal at the shared compile face "for every driver at once". That face (PR fix(spec)!: refuse an array in the equality slot at the shared comparand-shape face #19882, assertListComparandShapes) walks every $and / $or / $not branch before any identity reduction. What remains is a direct driver caller receiving the logically correct OR identity, with no reader who would act on it.
A class instance or a Map in a field-value position under a combinator is now refused as an unbindable object, the verdict the top-level loop and the engine door already give. It is not a declared comparand shape, and the changeset discloses it ("Only a plain object is now read as an operator map") → Acceptance notes.
MySQL not measured locally; CI's live job ran the new file's MySQL cell green → Acceptance notes.
PR-body item 2's "Before that … a bare NOT (blob = ?)" refers to the round-1 tree; the base table beside it is correct → Acceptance notes.

Landing: ready → queue on this head once CI is fully green.
