Issue being fixed or feature implemented

Cursor pagination (startAt/startAfter) over a document query whose best index level is multi-branch — a single In clause (or a range clause) with leftover index properties — returned wrong result sets:

  • branches ordered after the cursor's branch silently dropped every document whose leftover-property value sorted below the cursor's key;
  • branches ordered before the cursor's branch wrongly included documents above the cursor's key.

Example (family contract, index [firstName, lastName]): firstName IN [Adam, Ben, Cara] ORDER BY firstName, lastName with startAfter a document (Adam, Moore) dropped (Ben, Barber) and (Cara, Abbott).

The cause: the v0 lowering builds the outer multi-branch level with no cursor awareness and then recursive_insert_on_query bakes the cursor's per-level start keys into the default subquery applied to every sibling branch. The block comment in that function ("the start at document is used only on the conditional subquery and not on the main query") already described the correct construction; the code didn't implement it at the multi-branch top level.

A second latent defect surfaced while testing the reversed direction: for cursorless queries, the leftover-level recursion built each level with the index property's own direction, ignoring an opposite-direction orderByorderBy [lastName, desc] on a leftover property returned within-branch results ascending. All existing desc-on-leftover tests used cursors, which route through a different (direction-correct) arm, so this was never caught.

This is the machinery that led #4391 to reject startAt/startAfter combined with multiple In clauses.

What was done?

Rebased over #4391 (merged), which introduced the shared DriveDocumentQueryMethodVersions.non_primary_key_path_query slot and the query/non_primary_key_path_query/{v0,v1} module split. Both PRs' v14 semantics now live under that one slot, as planned when the slot name was deliberately shared.

The v1 lowering (protocol v14, unreleased) now only routes by shape: both shape lowerings are versioned methods with their own DriveDocumentQueryMethodVersions slots (non_primary_key_single_in_path_query, non_primary_key_multiple_in_path_query, 0 in every table, exact-match dispatch erroring on unknown values) and frozen v0 modules. The new at-most-one-In lowering, single_in_path_query/v0, replaces v1's previous fallthrough to the pre-v14 lowering for those shapes. When the last clause is range-typed with leftover index properties and a cursor is present:

  • the outer level is built with the cursor document marked included, so the existing branch trimming removes branches ordered before the cursor's branch;
  • the default subquery is unfiltered (insert_all, direction derived from orderBy), so branches after the cursor return everything;
  • the cursor's own branch is refined by a conditional subquery at its branch key.

The cursor-recursion helpers live beside their owner in single_in_path_query/v0 as recursive_insert_on_query_ordered_with_cursor / recursive_conditional_insert_on_query_ordered / recursive_create_query_ordered, identical to their pre-v14 counterparts except that every cursorless level derives its direction from orderBy (falling back to the index property's own) — the same rule #4391's recursive_insert_on_query_ordered applies on the multi-In path, so v1 direction semantics are uniform. The v0 module is untouched, per the frozen-version-module convention.

Not covered (still v0-shaped inside v1, same bug family, can be follow-ups): the In + range combination (subquery_clause path) with a cursor, and the no-where-clause path (orderBy-only with a cursor and leftover properties).

How Has This Been Tested?

New integration test test_family_single_in_clause_with_cursor_keeps_sibling_branches_intact (rs-drive tests/query_tests.rs) with a fixed 7-person dataset (new setup_family_tests_with_people helper) and brute-force expected orderings. Five scenarios — page-one asc and desc, cursor in the first branch, cursor in a middle branch, and a descending cursor — each asserted on both the no-proof execution path and the proof path (proof results must byte-match, root hash checked). The test fails on the v0 lowering exactly as described and passes with the fix.

A second test, test_family_single_in_clause_with_cursor_v0_lowering_frozen_at_protocol_v13, runs the same scenarios at PlatformVersion::get(13) and pins the old defective outputs on both execution and proof paths, plus asserts protocol v13 selects method version 0 — proving the gate empirically in both directions (v14 fixed, ≤v13 byte-for-byte frozen).

Regression: full cargo test -p drive (3336 lib tests plus all integration suites, including #4391's new multi-In tests) green; rs-drive compiles with --no-default-features --features verify; clippy clean on both touched crates (--all-targets and --all-features --tests); drive-abci document_query tests green.

Breaking Changes

Result sets and ordering of accepted-and-answered document queries change for the shapes above. The change only activates at protocol v14 via non_primary_key_path_query: 1 (shared with #4391's multi-In support); all released protocol versions retain the v0 lowering.

Walkthrough

The query builder now supports version-gated ordering and sibling-aware cursor lowering for non-primary-key paths. New tests cover ascending and descending pagination, proof equivalence, and protocol-v13 compatibility.

Changes

Non-primary-key cursor query flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Version contract
packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/drive_versions/drive_document_method_versions/...
Adds the non_primary_key_path_query version field. V1–V3 keep version 0; V4 enables version 1.
Query lowering
packages/rs-drive/src/query/mod.rs
V1+ uses the requested order_by direction. Cursor bounds apply to the cursor branch, while later sibling branches use unfiltered subqueries.
Regression and compatibility validation
packages/rs-drive/tests/query_tests.rs
Tests ascending and descending pagination, proof equivalence, and preserved protocol-v13 legacy results.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to cb114

The protocol-gated pagination fix is covered by integration and proof-path tests, while the remaining concerns are limited to documentation, test-helper duplication, and optional edge-case coverage. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

4620-4631: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Document why the drive is built at latest while the query runs at protocol_v13.

setup_family_tests_with_people writes documents with platform_version (latest). The queries then execute with protocol_v13. The V4 and V2 method tables differ in add_indices_for_index_level_for_contract_operations, so the stored index shape is the latest one, not the shape protocol v13 would have written.

The test remains valid because it pins the path-query lowering, which depends only on non_primary_key_path_query. That reasoning is not stated. The comment at lines 4614-4619 says "Never edit these expectations", so a future reader who hits a failure caused by an insert-walker change has no guidance.

Add one sentence stating that the drive is intentionally built at the latest version and that only the lowering is frozen.

Collapse setup_family_tests into setup_family_tests_with_people to remove the duplicated setup.

setup_family_tests_with_people repeats about 45 lines from setup_family_tests at lines 223-294. The contract tree init, the contract setup, the insert loop, and the commit are identical. Only the source of the people differs.

serde_json::to_value accepts &Person, so the shared loop body needs no change. Two copies can drift, and a fix applied to one setup would then miss the other.

♻️ Proposed refactor to delegate the random-people setup

Replace the body of setup_family_tests at lines 223-294 with a delegation:

pub fn setup_family_tests(
    count: u32,
    seed: u64,
    platform_version: &PlatformVersion,
) -> (Drive, DataContract) {
    let people = Person::random_people(count, seed);
    setup_family_tests_with_people(&people, platform_version)
}

Then remove the #[cfg(feature = "server")] mismatch risk by keeping the same gate on both functions.

Add a startAt case and a last-branch cursor case.

The test covers startAfter only. In the lowering, start_at_included becomes the included field of the StartAtDocument passed to recursive_conditional_insert_on_query. That field selects a different range constructor, so startAt exercises a distinct code path in the new conditional subquery.

The test also never places the cursor in the last branch (Cara), where every later-branch subquery is empty.

Add one ascending startAt case and one cursor-in-last-branch case. expected_after needs an inclusive variant for the startAt case.

Preliminary review — Codex only

The pagination fix is protocol-gated and has strong regression coverage for both the corrected v14 behavior and frozen v13 outputs. However, the new consensus-relevant method slot is consumed through inline >= 1 checks rather than exact version dispatch, so unsupported versions silently inherit v1 behavior and the implementations are not independently frozen.
Source: reviewer backend model gpt-5.6-sol; final verifier backend model gpt-5.6-sol. Orchestration-only model openclaw-agent/cliproxy/gpt-5.6-sol is explicitly not reviewer evidence.

Validated blockers were found in the Codex precheck. Opus is deferred until a fresh Codex revalidation clears the blocker gate.

Review provenance

  • Codex reviewers: gpt-5.6-sol — general (completed)
  • Verifier: gpt-5.6-sol — verifier
  • Sonnet: not run (deferred by blocker gate)

Resolved by the rebase onto #4391 plus a follow-up commit. The inline >= 1 checks this comment pointed at no longer exist:

  • get_non_primary_key_path_query now dispatches through an exact match on the slot (0 => v0, 1 => v1, unknown => DriveError::UnknownVersionMismatch with known_versions: [0, 1]), as does validate_in_clause_shape, the only other read of the slot.
  • The released v0 lowering lives untouched in query/non_primary_key_path_query/v0/; the v14 changes are isolated in v1/ and its shape submodules, so future edits can't accidentally modify v0. The test_family_single_in_clause_with_cursor_v0_lowering_frozen_at_protocol_v13 freeze test additionally pins v0's outputs byte-for-byte on both the execution and proof paths.
  • As of 5882f9f the two shape lowerings are themselves versioned methods behind their own slots (non_primary_key_single_in_path_query, non_primary_key_multiple_in_path_query), each with the same exact-match-or-error dispatch and a frozen v0 module owning its recursion helpers.

… sibling-branch documents

For a document query with a single In (or range) clause, leftover index
properties, and startAt/startAfter, the path-query lowering baked the
cursor document's per-level start keys into the default subquery applied
to every sibling branch of the multi-branch level. Branches ordered
after the cursor's branch silently dropped all values below the cursor
key, and branches ordered before it wrongly included values above it.
The lowering also ignored a descending orderBy on leftover index
properties for cursorless queries, returning within-branch results in
index (ascending) order.

From v1 of the new DriveDocumentQueryMethodVersions.non_primary_key_path_query
method version (protocol v14, unreleased):

- branches ordered before the cursor's branch are trimmed from the
  outer query;
- branches ordered after it get an unfiltered default subquery;
- the cursor's own branch is refined with a conditional subquery at its
  branch key (the design the existing block comment already described);
- the cursorless lowering derives each level's direction from orderBy
  instead of the index property's own direction.

v0 behavior is preserved for released protocol versions, since the
lowering is shared by the prover and verifier and is part of the
consensus query contract.

Protocol versions <= 13 are on chain, so the pre-v14 (defective) cursor
lowering must replay byte-for-byte. Pin its outputs for the same
scenarios the v14 fix corrects, on both the execution and proof paths,
and assert protocol v13 selects method version 0.

…version slots

The v1 non-primary-key lowering routed by shape to two unversioned
worker methods. Give each shape lowering the standard versioned-method
structure: get_non_primary_key_single_in_path_query and
get_non_primary_key_multiple_in_path_query dispatch through new
DriveDocumentQueryMethodVersions slots (0 in every table) to frozen
v0 modules holding the constructions and their recursion helpers, so a
future change to one shape bumps that slot alone instead of copying the
whole v1 lowering. Unknown slot values error with
UnknownVersionMismatch. No behavior change.
