fix(policy): index-friendly SQL for uuid auth() comparisons and collection predicates on PostgreSQL - #2859
Conversation
…and collection predicates on PostgreSQL Fixes two of the three patterns reported in #2851 that prevent PostgreSQL from using indexes when evaluating access policies. 1. `field == auth().id` no longer casts the column. The policy transformer now resolves `auth().x` member chains against the auth model so both sides carry their native type, and the PostgreSQL dialect skips casting when a natively-typed column is compared against a bound value. For `@db.Uuid` the value is format-checked up front so a malformed auth id yields a constant result (denied) instead of a database error. Text-like native types (text/varchar/char/citext) are compared natively too. Other native types keep the previous column cast. 2. Collection predicates (`?`, `!`, `^`) compile to `exists` / `not exists` instead of a correlated `count(1) > 0` aggregate, letting the planner use a semi-join that can start from the indexed side.

$setAuthaccepts string IDs without UUID-format validation. A PostgreSQL-valid brace-wrapped UUID can reach this policy comparison. The current regex marks it as malformed. Equality then returnsfalsefor a matching row. Inequality returnscolumn IS NOT NULL, which can allow the matching non-null row.Use PostgreSQL’s accepted UUID formats instead of only canonical formatting.

Summary
Addresses patterns 1 and 2 of #2851, where the policy SQL generated on PostgreSQL prevents index usage and forces sequential scans plus per-row correlated subqueries.
1.
field == auth().idno longer casts the columnauth().xmember chains against the auth model, so both sides of the comparison carry their native type (getFieldDefFromFieldRefpreviously returnedundefinedfor anauth()receiver).@db.Uuidthe value is format-checked before being bound. A malformed auth id yields a constant result (the policy denies) instead of aninvalid input syntax for type uuiderror at runtime. The check is a plain format check (8-4-4-4-12 or 32 hex), not an RFC 4122 validator, because PostgreSQL accepts any 128-bit value (e.g.00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001).@db.Text,@db.VarChar,@db.Char,@db.Citext) are compared natively as well. Other native types keep the previous column cast.2. Collection predicates compile to
EXISTS?maps toexists,^tonot exists, and!tonot existsover the negated filter. For nested chains such asteam.members?[...],existswraps the innermost subquery so the outer scalar subquery shape is preserved.Not covered
Pattern 3 (
relation == auth()still walks into the auth model instead of using the foreign key) is left as a follow-up. The cast around that subquery is gone with this change, but the inner lookup remains.Test plan
tests/regression/test/issue-2851.test.ts(10 cases): uuid vs uuid, relation vsauth(), mixed string/uuid both directions, malformed and non-RFC auth ids, varchar columns, andexists/not existsfor?,!,^and a nested chain, asserting both SQL shape and row results.tests/regression/test/issue-2394.test.ts(uuid cast fix) still passes.tests/e2e/orm(SQLite) passes.tests/e2e/orm/policywithTEST_DB_PROVIDER=postgresqlpasses exceptnow-function.test.ts, which fails identically on unmodifieddev(pre-existing, unrelated).Fixes #2851 (patterns 1 and 2)
