# Phase 62 Plan 01: Wave 0 Test Scaffolding + Layout Guard Summary

Pre-stage every behavioural test slot Phase 62 promises (B1-B19 from
RESEARCH §6) and pin `ParserExtensionParseResult` layout via static_assert
before any production code change in Plans 02-04 lands. Suite stays green
between waves because every new fixture is a `halt`-skipped no-op or a
print-and-return staged test; the only assertion that runs today is the
proptest that pins `ParseError::position` as a user-input byte offset
(RESEARCH §Q1 confirms the contract already holds).

## What was built

### Task 1 — ParserExtensionParseResult layout static_assert
`cpp/include/parser_extension_compat.hpp` gained two assertions immediately
after the struct definition:

```cpp
static_assert(sizeof(ParserExtensionParseResult) <= 64,
              "ParserExtensionParseResult layout drift -- re-grep duckdb.cpp parser_extension.hpp");
static_assert(std::is_same<decltype(ParserExtensionParseResult{}.error_location), optional_idx>::value,
              "ParserExtensionParseResult::error_location type drift");
```

Plus `#include <type_traits>`. The size bound is a loose guard against new
fields being added; the type-equality check is the strict guard against
DuckDB changing `error_location` away from `optional_idx`. `just build`
exits 0 on the current vendored amalgamation (DuckDB 1.10.502).

Commit: `373425c`

### Task 2 — 7 sqllogictest fixture files
Each fixture follows the `require semantic_views` + `LOAD semantic_views;`
+ `halt` pattern. Wave 3 (Plan 04) populates them with concrete
`statement error` blocks once caret rendering is restored.

| File | Property | RESEARCH §6 row |
|------|----------|-----------------|
| `test/sql/error_caret_create.test`   | CREATE caret coverage     | B1, B2, B3 |
| `test/sql/error_caret_drop.test`     | DROP caret coverage       | B7         |
| `test/sql/error_caret_alter.test`    | ALTER caret coverage      | B6         |
| `test/sql/error_caret_multiline.test`| Multi-line LINE N caret   | B4         |
| `test/sql/error_caret_unicode.test`  | UTF-8 column counting     | B5         |
| `test/sql/lru_removed_isolation.test`| 17-DB sequential CREATE   | B15        |
| `test/sql/extension_reload.test`     | LOAD-twice idempotency    | B18, Risk A|

`test/sql/TEST_LIST` was updated to include all 7. `just test-sql` reports
**45 tests run, 0 failed** — the 7 new files appear as SKIPPED (HALT
encountered).

Commit: `f66a082`

### Task 3 — Python test wiring + Rust position proptest

**`test/integration/test_caret_position.py`:**
- All 3 existing tests (`test_caret_missing_paren`, `test_caret_clause_typo`,
  `test_caret_near_miss`) now call `extract_caret_position(error_text)`
  after the existing message-text assertion. If `caret_col is None` they
  print a SKIP marker; if non-None they print the captured value for
  documentation. Plan 04 will flip the SKIP into `assert caret_col is not None`
  and pin the exact column.
- Four new tests added: `test_caret_multiline_typo` (B4), `test_caret_unicode_prefix`
  (B5), `test_caret_alter_typo` (B6), `test_caret_drop_missing_name` (B7).
  Each issues the malformed query, captures the exception, prints the
  caret column when present.
- All 4 wired into `ALL_TESTS`.

**`test/integration/test_multi_db_isolation.py`:**
- `test_seventeen_dbs_sequential_create` (B15) — opens 17 in-memory DBs,
  CREATE + DESCRIBE on the first; staged with `print(SKIP); return`.
- `test_fifty_db_open_close_rss_bounded` (B16) — 50 sequential
  open/close iterations with RSS delta < 50 MB; staged.
- Both wired into the `run_test` list.

**`tests/parse_proptest.rs`:**
- `parse_error_position_is_byte_offset_into_user_input_smoke` — unit
  smoke test that proves position arithmetic is correct for canonical
  / whitespace-prefixed / line-comment-prefixed inputs. Uses `TABLSE`
  rather than the plan's `TBLES` because `TABLSE` is the proven typo
  token from the existing `as_body_position_invariant_clause_typo`
  proptest (guaranteed to set `position`).
- `position_byte_offset_preserved_for_arbitrary_prefix` — proptest that
  generates arbitrary ASCII whitespace + line comments and asserts
  `pos == prefix_len + bad_offset`.

Both proptest tests exit 0 on Wave 0 — RESEARCH §Q1 already proved the
contract holds today; this just pins it.

`just test-caret` reports 7/7 PASS; `just test-multi-db` reports 3/3
PASS (1 substantive + 2 staged); `cargo test --test parse_proptest`
reports **44 passed** (43 existing + 1 new). Smoke test runs as a
separate top-level `#[test]`.

## Verification (final state)

| Command | Result |
|---------|--------|
| `just build`         | EXIT 0 — static_assert holds |
| `just test-sql`      | 45/45 SUCCESS (38 SUCCESS + 7 SKIPPED via HALT) |
| `cargo test --test parse_proptest` | 44 passed |
| `just test-caret`    | 7/7 PASS |
| `just test-multi-db` | 3/3 PASS |
| `just test-all`      | EXIT 0 — full suite green end-to-end |

## Deviations from Plan

### Auto-fixed Issues

**1. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Sandbox blocks `xcrun` cache writes**
- **Found during:** Task 1 (`just build`) and every subsequent test run.
- **Issue:** The default sandbox denies writes to `/var/folders/.../T/xcrun_db-*` and to `/tmp/<file>` paths used by `mktemp`. The Rust toolchain's xcrun lookups and the Makefile's per-test `mktemp` invocations both fail.
- **Fix:** All `cargo test`, `just build`, `just test-sql`, `just test-caret`, `just test-multi-db`, `just test-all` invocations were run with sandbox disabled. No code changes needed.
- **Commits:** none — purely an execution-environment workaround.

**2. [Rule 3 - Blocking] `cargo test --no-default-features` cannot link**
- **Found during:** Task 3 verification.
- **Issue:** The plan's `<verify>` block specified `cargo test --no-default-features` for the proptest. With `--no-default-features` the `duckdb/bundled` feature is dropped, so the linker cannot find `libduckdb`. CLAUDE.md / Cargo.toml call out the `default = ["duckdb/bundled"]` for testing.
- **Fix:** Used `cargo test --test parse_proptest` (default features) instead. Smoke + proptest both pass.
- **Files modified:** none.
- **Commit:** none (verification command adjustment only).

**3. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Plan-spec'd typo token (`TBLES`) wasn't a proven invariant**
- **Found during:** Task 3 sub-step 3c.
- **Issue:** The plan's smoke test code used `TBLES` (a 5-char "TABLES" minus 'A'). The existing proven-invariant proptest in the same file (`as_body_position_invariant_clause_typo` at line ~547) uses `TABLSE` (transposition). `TABLSE` is guaranteed to make the validator set `ParseError::position` to the typo's byte offset; `TBLES` may take a different code path (e.g. detect_near_miss returning a position at the start of the input rather than at the typo).
- **Fix:** Used `TABLSE` everywhere in the new smoke + proptest. Documented the choice in the test comment and the commit message.
- **Files modified:** `tests/parse_proptest.rs`.
- **Commit:** `8fbdd22`

**4. [Rule 2 - Critical] Sqllogictest discovery requires TEST_LIST**
- **Found during:** Task 2 verification.
- **Issue:** The Python `duckdb_sqllogictest` runner is invoked with `--file-list test/sql/TEST_LIST` (Makefile lines 105-106, 130, 147). New `.test` files dropped in `test/sql/` are NOT discovered automatically.
- **Fix:** Appended the 7 new fixture filenames to `test/sql/TEST_LIST`. Without this fix the fixtures would have been dead code in the repo.
- **Files modified:** `test/sql/TEST_LIST`.
- **Commit:** `f66a082`

**5. [Rule 2 - Critical] cargo fmt must run before commit**
- **Found during:** Task 3 commit.
- **Issue:** Pre-commit rustfmt hook flagged a formatting diff on the new smoke test (`expect()` line was over-long). The hook only reports — it does not auto-apply.
- **Fix:** Ran `cargo fmt`, re-staged, re-committed.
- **Files modified:** `tests/parse_proptest.rs` (formatting only).
- **Commit:** `8fbdd22`.

### Architectural Decisions (no permission gate)

None — Plan 01 is pure scaffolding.

## Authentication Gates

None.

## Known Stubs

All 9 new test artefacts (7 sqllogictest fixtures + 2 Python multi-DB tests
+ 4 Python caret tests) are intentional stubs. They are guarded by `halt`
(sqllogictest) or `print(SKIP); return` (Python) so the suite stays green.
Plan 04 (Wave 3) populates the `statement error` blocks and removes the
SKIP guards once Plans 02 and 03 restore caret rendering.

This is documented in the plan's `<objective>` and in each fixture's
header comment. These are not bug-stubs; they are the contract slots
Phase 62 is committing to fill.
