Combine models and stages that have no join path: aggregates across a product hop - #496
Merged
ZmeiGorynych merged 14 commits intoOct 15, 2026
Conversation
Covers the product hop, aggregates and row-level refusal across it, one-sided filters, the unrelated_dataset warning, the no-explosion guarantees with an emitted-SQL checker, root recommendation's unrelated flag on every surface, and the MCP measures guidance. Spec: stored Column.sql and model filters naming an unreachable model are refused (approved plan edit, task 3.6).

…uery change rewrote
…ne-sided filters across it An unrelated dataset named as a query path's first hop meets the population as a product hop; aggregates over it compile as producers over its own rows, every other row-level read is a typed error, and an unrelated_dataset warning names it. Stored definitions naming an unreachable model are refused; recommend_root_model flags unrelated attachments. Also fixes an empty _base SELECT for a dimensionless expression over cross-model aggregates alone.
…eferences Row-level reads of a model no join path reaches now expect UnrelatedDatasetError; an outer stage aggregating such a model reads its own rows with an unrelated_dataset warning instead of failing.
Every division the arithmetic composer emits guards its divisor with NULLIF(..., 0) unless it is a non-zero literal; golden SQL re-blessed (the only change is the guard).

mixed_sides to inspect filter leaves including aggregate inputs, using a
traversal that descends through aggregates and transforms while retaining the
existing row-leaf behavior where needed.

…uery-backed model reports its own error - Definition-named model discovery runs inside the query-backed split worklist, so a stage base's definitions are scanned like the root component's. - Framing stamps unspliced query-backed placeholders as unrelated datasets, so the product hop to one is walked and its splice failure surfaces instead of "no route to target".

An aggregate over a model no join path reaches varies per bucket of a time_spine time dimension, attributed through that model's own axis; the MCP measures description, docs and tool-surface spec said it repeats on every row.

One query can now combine models (or query stages) that no join path connects. "On average, how many events per customer?" used to need two queries and a division done by the agent; it is now one query:
