Phase 6, items 1–3, of PLAN-coverage.md. It was stacked on #78, which has merged; it is now rebased onto main.

What works now

  • EXCLUDE constraints are pulled, built and deployed:
    • exclude_constraints holds the method, and each element as an index column with its operator. It also holds INCLUDE, WHERE, deferral and the comment.
    • Deploy adds and drops them. It sets a changed comment on its own, without rebuilding the index behind the constraint.
  • REPLICA IDENTITY is pulled, built and deployed:
    • replica_identity is FULL, NOTHING or {index: name}. When the key is absent, it is DEFAULT.
    • USING INDEX goes in the index's own entry, as pg_dump writes it, because the index must exist first.
    • Deploy alters it in place.
  • Default privileges are a new top-level type, stored in default_privileges/<role>.yaml:
    • One file per FOR ROLE, with grants and revocations kept as declared, because global and per-schema defaults compose.
    • Deploy matches them by existence, like the Phase 5 types.
  • An unmatched comment now fails the pull. Before, pull logged a warning and dropped the comment. Only exclusion constraints carry a comment in the model, so a comment on a PK/UNIQUE/CHECK/FK constraint is now reported. The coverage fixture records that gap.
  • Coverage-gate list: down from 5 entries to 4 (constraint comment, RULE, STATISTICS, storage/compression).

Deviation 27

The shared index column renderer now writes COLLATE and quotes column names. The Python wrote COLLATION, which does not parse, and wrote column names bare. The existing index renderer uses the same code, so it gets the fix too.

Tests

  • just check: 330 unit tests pass. New tests cover the parsers, deploy reconciliation, and the unmatched-comment rule.
  • All gates pass locally on an isolated postgres:18:
    • The coverage gate passes, with 4 entries.
    • The round-trip gate passes, with EXCLUDE (gist and btree), all three replica identities, and global and per-schema default privileges.
    • The deploy gates pass, and the convergence gate now also drifts both replica identities, an exclusion constraint's comment, and a dropped exclusion constraint.
  • just docs builds strict.

    • Added support for capturing, managing, and deploying PostgreSQL exclusion constraints and replica identity settings.
    • Added support for per-role default privileges, including grants and revocations, in schema projects and deployments.
    • Constraint comments are synchronized separately, so comment-only changes don’t rebuild exclusion constraints.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds project, pull, build, and deploy support for exclusion constraints, replica identity, and default privileges. It also records comments that cannot be attached to modeled objects as unmodeled dump entries.

Changes

Table metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
Table models and DDL parsing
schemata/table.yml, src/models/table.rs, src/ddl/*, fixtures/schema.sql, docs/project-format.md, src/ddl/foreign.rs
Table models and schemas now represent exclusion constraints and replica identity. DDL parsing handles these properties, including exclusion elements and REPLICA IDENTITY USING INDEX.
Pull handling and constraint comments
src/pull/mod.rs, fixtures/unsupported*, docs/commands.md
When an attached partition has replica identity, pull records it as an unmodeled entry. Documentation and fixtures cover comments for which the model has no matching object.
Table DDL rendering
src/build/mod.rs
Build renders exclusion constraints and their comments. It emits replica-identity modes after table creation and index-based identity after creating the selected index. Index-column rendering quotes column names and includes collations.
Table reconciliation
src/deploy/alter.rs, bin/deploy-gates, docs/commands.md, PLAN-coverage.md
Deploy reconciles replica identity and exclusion constraints by name. Comment-only changes update the comment without rebuilding the constraint.

Default privileges

Layer / File(s) Summary
Default-privilege model and parsing
schemata/default_privileges.yml, src/models/roles.rs, src/models/mod.rs, src/constants.rs, src/ddl/acl.rs, src/ddl/mod.rs, src/project/load.rs, src/project/validate.rs, docs/project-format.md, bin/generate-schema-docs.py
The project format adds per-role default-privilege declarations. DDL parsing collects role and schema scopes, object type, privileges, grantees, and grant-option state. Validation rejects grant-option settings on revocations.
Pull, build, and deploy processing
src/pull/writer.rs, src/pull/update.rs, src/build/mod.rs, src/deploy/diff.rs, src/deploy/mod.rs, fixtures/schema.sql, fixtures/unsupported.sql, docs/commands.md
Pull writes each role’s declarations to a top-level YAML file and includes the directory in stale-file scanning. Build emits grouped entries with revocations before grants. Deploy includes default-privilege definitions in existence checks, and no_privileges skips default ACL entries.

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

Base automatically changed from feature/pull-parity to main September 23, 2026 21:08
Pull dropped all three into remaining.yaml. An exclusion constraint or
a replica identity lost from a rebuilt table breaks the constraint's
guarantee or logical replication, and lost default privileges change
who can read the objects created later.

- Tables get `exclude_constraints` (method, elements as index columns
  with an operator, INCLUDE, WHERE, deferral, comment) and
  `replica_identity` (FULL, NOTHING or `{index: name}`; absent is
  DEFAULT). Build writes USING INDEX in the index's entry, as pg_dump
  does, since the index has to exist first. Deploy adds and drops
  exclusion constraints, sets a changed comment alone, and alters the
  replica identity in place.
- Default privileges are a new top-level object type,
  default_privileges/<role>.yaml, one per role the defaults are FOR,
  with grants and revocations kept as declared. Deploy matches them by
  existence.
- A comment pull cannot attach now fails the pull. It used to log a
  warning and drop the comment. The model holds a comment for an
  exclusion constraint only, so a comment on another kind of
  constraint is now reported; the coverage fixture records that gap.
- Deviation 27: an index column's collation renders COLLATE, and a
  column name is quoted.

The coverage gate list is down from 5 entries to 4.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Pull drops a partition's replica identity without failing.

A partition keeps its own replica identity. pg_dump writes ALTER TABLE ONLY child REPLICA IDENTITY ... in the child's own TABLE entry, and apply now stores it on the child table. apply_attached_partitions then removes the child table and keeps only its bounds. It flags only row_level_security and policies. The new replica_identity is lost with no remaining entry, so the pull succeeds. After a rebuild, UPDATE and DELETE on a published partition then fail. This is the loss this PR is meant to prevent. Add replica_identity to the check so the pull fails.

Proposed fix
-                    if child.row_level_security.is_some()
-                        || child.policies.is_some()
+                    if child.row_level_security.is_some()
+                        || child.policies.is_some()
+                        || child.replica_identity.is_some()
                     {

Inline comments:
In `@schemata/default_privileges.yml`:
- Line 30: Update the schema for revocations so an entry cannot set
with_grant_option to true; reject this combination during validation rather than
allowing the renderer to emit a plain REVOKE.

In `@src/deploy/alter.rs`:
- Around line 251-262: Update the replica-identity condition in the deploy logic
so it also emits the identity statement when the configured identity index is
rebuilt, even if `repo.replica_identity` and `db.replica_identity` are equal.
Detect a changed index named by `ReplicaIdentity::Index` by comparing the
matching indexes on both tables, then reuse the existing statement-rendering
path.

In `@src/deploy/diff.rs`:
- Line 305: Update the default-privilege handling in the diff logic around
assembly.default_privileges so it compares the declarations, including grantee,
privilege, schema scope, and revocation, rather than marking a project
Undiffable solely because a role has defaults. Generate deploy statements for
changed declarations, or fail explicitly when existing declarations differ and
cannot be reconciled.
- Around line 305-310: Update the privilege skip filter in Builder::add_entry so
--no-privileges excludes both Acl and DefaultAcl entries, preventing
default-privilege statements from being emitted.

In `@src/models/table.rs`:
- Around line 182-192: Update Table::canonical to normalize each present exclude
constraint’s missing method to PostgreSQL’s default, btree, while preserving
explicitly specified methods. This ensures schema and database representations
compare consistently in named_pairs.

Address the CodeRabbit review of PR #79:

- Pull: record the replica identity of an attached partition in
  remaining.yaml. The partition model cannot hold it, and the pull
  dropped it without failing.
- Deploy: set the replica identity again when the index that USING
  INDEX names is dropped and created. PostgreSQL clears the mark when
  it drops the index.
- Deploy: canonical() fills a missing EXCLUDE method with btree, the
  PostgreSQL default. pg_dump always writes the method, so a file
  without it did not converge.
- Deploy: --no-privileges also skips DEFAULT ACL entries.
- Schema: a revocation cannot set with_grant_option to true. REVOKE
  GRANT OPTION FOR is not supported, and a plain REVOKE takes away
  the privilege itself.

Addressed the CodeRabbit review of 25c79b1 in df07388:

  • Outside diff, src/pull/mod.rs (partition replica identity): fixed. apply_attached_partitions now records a partition's own replica identity in remaining.yaml as REPLICA IDENTITY, so the pull fails instead of dropping it. Test: pull::tests::partition_replica_identity_is_recorded_as_remaining.
  • schemata/default_privileges.yml: fixed. A revocation cannot set with_grant_option: true.
  • src/deploy/alter.rs: fixed. A rebuilt identity index gets REPLICA IDENTITY USING INDEX again.
  • src/deploy/diff.rs --no-privileges: fixed. DefaultAcl entries are skipped too.
  • src/models/table.rs: fixed. canonical() fills a missing EXCLUDE method with btree.
  • src/deploy/diff.rs default privileges comparison: not changed, by design. Deploy existence-checks default privileges in this PR, like the other types it does not compare yet.

Validation: just check passes, and the coverage, round-trip and deploy gates pass locally against PostgreSQL 18.

@gmr, thanks for the update. I’ll review df07388, including the fixes and the PostgreSQL 18 validation you reported. I’ll treat declaration-level default-privilege comparison as outside the scope of #79, consistent with your earlier clarification.

Timestamp: 2026-09-23T21:30:58.142Z
Learning: In pglifecycle, `src/deploy/diff.rs` intentionally checks default privileges by role-level existence only. When a project definition and a database definition both exist, deploy classifies the item as `Undiffable`; it does not compare grantees, privileges, schema scopes, or revocations. Declaration-level reconciliation is outside the scope of PR `#79`.

- The default privileges schema now rejects a declaration that gives
  PUBLIC the grant option. PostgreSQL refuses this, so the error now
  occurs at validation, not at deploy.
- The pull now keeps the ALTER TABLE ... REPLICA IDENTITY statement
  of an attached partition in the remaining.yaml entry. Before, the
  entry kept only the name, so the mode or index name was lost.
