Summary

Event Lineage edges now name the Allen (1983) relation between the two posts' dated windows. Reconstruct still owns the parent choice; this only labels how the windows sit in time.

After make seed, open the A-100 pricing follow-up. Both the revised quote and the delivery question come back Before it — every post is a point interval on its observed UTC creation day, and a mutable issue_ticket.due_date is not Event Lineage evidence, so it is never read. Click the Before row for the revised quote to open it.

  • Persist interval_relation_code on post_lineage_edge (migration 0140, ADR 0160).
  • Point-only intervals: each post is a point interval on its observed UTC created_at day. Ticket-aware windows (issue_ticket.due_date) are explicitly deferred until a provenance-bearing interval-evidence contract exists (ADR 0160's Context) — this PR does not implement them, and interval_from_post() never reads issue_ticket.due_date.
  • GET /api/lineage and GET /api/posts/{id}/lineage return the exact lookup label. Opening the child orients the stored parent→child code (Contains → During).
  • The DAG shows those labels as visible text and as a keyboard list. Indirect Keyman links stay unlabeled.
  • Independent of leftover-map feat: persist leftover interaction-map coordinates (v2.12.7) #481 and SKOS chips feat: show corroborated SKOS companion on organization chips (v2.14.0) #482.

Buyer next action

After seed, open Pricing renegotiation follow-up, read Before, click that row to open the revised quote.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ad006

The database migration may pause writes while it validates existing lineage edges, especially on a large production dataset. Merge readiness requires either separating constraint creation from validation or obtaining explicit owner acceptance for the deployment impact.

Strix MEDIUM disposition for run 32641170059: false positive. read_post_activity calls the shared _load_visible_post, which invokes _require_post_read(account) before acquiring the database connection and then applies the per-post visibility check. Exact-head commit bc555592 adds test_post_activity_requires_post_read: it removes the caller role’s post_read permission, requests the activity endpoint with a valid bearer token, and asserts HTTP 403. The focused activity authorization set passes 3/3 locally. No duplicate endpoint guard was added because the shared guard already protects this endpoint and its sibling readers.

Resolved the newly introduced cross-PR ADR collision on exact head c5c9911c102cb1c7d7fac1e6386a637a7b41ab3a: PR #480 claimed ADR 0160 first, so Event Lineage moved to the then-free ADR 0161 and all normative references were updated. Immediately before push, protected main and all open-PR changed paths had no ADR 0161 claimant. Exact local validation: tests/test_documentation_hygiene.py 4/4 passed and git diff --check passed. The broader migration/interval partition was already green on the docs/reference-only parent; a local rerun attempt without the backend extra stopped at missing asyncpg, so it is not represented as a code failure or new exact-head pass.

📝 Info: Migration numbered below existing ones relies on glob replay

0140 sorts below already-present 0163/0164/0135. It applies on existing volumes only because migrate.sh replays by filename glob, not a numeric watermark, and the migration is idempotent. A deployment that tracked a highest-applied version instead would never run 0140, and rebuild_lineage would fail on the missing column. The glob mechanism is asserted in tests/test_migration_replay.py.

📝 Info: Edge title now reads child-follows-parent for all edges

The <title> now swaps from/to for both the relation and no-relation branches. Pre-PR it read {parent} follows {child} (chronologically backwards); it now reads {child} follows {parent}. This also changes edges with no interval label, such as the home DAG, correcting the prior wording rather than regressing.

The prior merge of origin/main into this branch (daa9dd7) silently
dropped test_persist_requires_observed_points_before_replacing_edges
and its supporting imports (pytest, persist_lineage_edges,
reconstruct_group_key, records_from_source_posts, Edge) while
resolving the interleaved conflict in tests/test_lineage_ingestion.py.
That test predates this PR's own branch and is not present on
origin/main; restore it alongside the Allen-interval tests it was
merged next to.

PostgreSQL documentation ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY validation lock level NOT VALID referenced table writes

💡 Result:

In PostgreSQL, using the NOT VALID option when adding a foreign key significantly reduces the impact on concurrent operations by separating the creation of the constraint from the validation of existing data [1][2][3]. Adding a foreign key with NOT VALID: - Lock Level: The command acquires a SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE lock on both the referencing table and the referenced table [1][2][4]. This lock level allows concurrent reads but blocks concurrent writes [4]. - Behavior: Because the table is not scanned for existing violations, the command can be committed almost immediately, avoiding the long-held locks associated with scanning large tables [1][2][5]. - Enforcement: Once committed, the database immediately begins enforcing the foreign key constraint for all new and modified rows [1][6]. Validating the constraint later: - Command: Executed using ALTER TABLE... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT [1][2][6]. - Lock Level: This operation requires only a SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIVE lock on the table being altered, along with a ROW SHARE lock on the referenced table [1][2][3]. - Impact: Crucially, SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIVE allows concurrent reads and writes, meaning the validation process does not block DML operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) [1][4][3]. Summary of Referenced Table Writes: During the initial ADD FOREIGN KEY... NOT VALID step, writes are blocked on the referenced table because of the SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE lock [1][2]. During the subsequent VALIDATE CONSTRAINT step, the process acquires a ROW SHARE lock on the referenced table, which does not block writes to it [1][3].

site:postgresql.org/docs/current sql-altertable ADD FOREIGN KEY NOT VALID SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE ADD COLUMN REFERENCES existing table validation

💡 Result:

In PostgreSQL, adding a foreign key constraint with the NOT VALID option is a technique used to minimize the duration of locks on the table, which is particularly beneficial for large tables [1]. When you execute an ALTER TABLE statement to add a foreign key with NOT VALID, the process behaves as follows: 1. Locking Behavior: The ADD FOREIGN KEY command acquires a SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE lock on both the table being altered and the referenced table [1]. This lock mode protects the tables against concurrent data changes, preventing concurrent DDL operations that would conflict with this lock [2]. 2. Validation: The NOT VALID option allows the foreign key to be added without scanning the entire table to verify existing rows [1]. Because no table scan is required, the command can be committed immediately, significantly reducing the impact on concurrent updates [1]. 3. Enforcement: Once the constraint is added as NOT VALID, PostgreSQL begins enforcing the constraint for all new or updated rows [1]. 4. Later Validation: To ensure that all pre-existing rows satisfy the constraint, you must subsequently issue the ALTER TABLE... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT command [1]. This validation step requires only a SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIVE lock on the table being altered (along with a ROW SHARE lock on the referenced table), which allows other concurrent updates to continue [1]. Regarding the specific workflow of adding a column and a foreign key: You generally cannot add a column and a foreign key constraint in a single ALTER TABLE statement if the constraint requires a table scan. While you can add a column using ADD COLUMN, adding the foreign key constraint typically requires a separate ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT statement [1][3]. If you are adding a new column that you want to be a foreign key, you should first add the column (optionally with a DEFAULT value if appropriate), and then add the foreign key constraint using the NOT VALID clause to avoid long-running locks [1][3].

PostgreSQL source ATAddForeignKeyConstraint initial validation newly added nullable column existing rows null foreign key scan

💡 Result:

When adding a foreign key constraint to an existing table in PostgreSQL, the database normally performs a full scan of the table to verify that every existing row satisfies the constraint [1][2]. This process, handled by the internal function ATAddForeignKeyConstraint [3][2], ensures referential integrity for all pre-existing data. If the foreign key column is nullable, the following behaviors apply regarding existing rows: 1. Standard Constraint Behavior: By default (using MATCH SIMPLE), if any of the columns in a foreign key are NULL, the constraint check is skipped for that row [2][4]. The row is considered to satisfy the constraint regardless of whether a matching row exists in the referenced table [2][5]. 2. Table Scan Requirement: Despite the fact that NULL values themselves satisfy the constraint, PostgreSQL's ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT command still performs a table scan to verify that all non-NULL values correctly reference the target table [1][2]. The database does not automatically optimize the scan to ignore NULL rows in a way that avoids the initial validation of the table [1][2]. 3. Avoiding the Scan: To avoid the potentially lengthy table scan and the associated lock on the table, you can use the NOT VALID option when adding the constraint [1][6]. This allows the constraint to be added immediately without scanning existing rows [1][2]. The constraint will be enforced for all subsequent inserts and updates, while existing rows remain unvalidated until you manually issue the VALIDATE CONSTRAINT command [1][6]. Note that NOT VALID can only be used with ADD CONSTRAINT, not directly with ADD COLUMN [7]. In summary, even if a column is nullable, PostgreSQL will still scan the table upon adding a foreign key constraint to ensure existing non-NULL data conforms to the referential integrity requirements, unless you explicitly opt to skip this validation using NOT VALID [1][2].

PostgreSQL ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN REFERENCES foreign key existing table lock SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE official documentation

💡 Result:

According to the official PostgreSQL documentation, the ALTER TABLE command generally requires an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, which is the most restrictive lock and blocks all other access to the table [1][2][3]. However, adding a foreign key constraint is a notable exception [2][4][5]. When you add a foreign key constraint using ALTER TABLE, the command acquires a SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE lock [2][4][5]. Crucially, this lock is required on both the referencing table (the one receiving the new foreign key) and the referenced table [2][4][5]. Key details regarding this lock: 1. Scope: The SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE lock blocks data modification commands (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) on the affected tables, but it allows concurrent SELECT (read) queries [2][4][6][3]. 2. Constraint Validation: The command performs a table scan to verify that existing data satisfies the new constraint [2][4][3]. On large tables, this scan can take a significant amount of time, during which the SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE lock is held, effectively blocking writes for the duration of the scan [2][4][3]. 3. Optimization (NOT VALID): To avoid holding the lock during a lengthy table scan, you can use the NOT VALID option [2][4][5]. This allows the constraint to be added immediately without scanning the table, requiring only a brief lock [7][5][3]. You can subsequently perform the scan and validation in a separate step using the VALIDATE CONSTRAINT command, which only requires a SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIVE lock [2][4][5]. The SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIVE lock is much less restrictive and does not block concurrent reads or writes [4][5][3]. Note that while adding a column and adding a foreign key constraint can often be done in the same ALTER TABLE statement, the locking requirements for the foreign key portion remain the same [2][4]. Using the NOT VALID clause is a standard practice in production environments to minimize downtime and avoid blocking write operations [5][6][3].

[warning] 21-21: Adding a foreign key constraint requires a table scan and a SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE lock on both tables, which blocks writes to each table. Add NOT VALID to the constraint in one transaction and then VALIDATE the constraint in a separate transaction.

Update the post_lineage_edge migration to add interval_relation_code without an
inline foreign key, then add a separately named foreign-key constraint with NOT
VALID referencing common_lookup_value(lookup_code). Leave validation for a
separate explicit VALIDATE CONSTRAINT operation suitable for low-traffic
execution.

📝 Info: Migration 0140 is replay-safe on existing volumes

Migration 0140 uses add-column-if-not-exists, backfills only null rows, and gates the set-not-null in a nullable check, so migrate.sh's every-start replay cannot fail. It matches the four-digit replay pattern asserted by the migration-replay test, so pre-0140 volumes receive the column and backfill.
