db.orm.Post.orderBy((p) => p.views.desc()).take(10).aggregate((agg) => ({ total: agg.sum('views') })) used to reduce over every matching row. The window the caller asked for was discarded silently — no error, no warning, just a confident wrong number. This makes the row scope a chain expresses the row scope the aggregate reduces.

The rule is positional: clauses before the terminal shape the rows it reduces. That reading is what the builder can express and Prisma's flat options object cannot, and it's now stated in TSDoc on the methods where a user meets it.

Behaviour change. Any existing chain combining take / skip / cursor / distinct / distinctOn with a root .aggregate() returns a different number after this merges — the correct one. Chains that name no row scope compile byte-identically to before.

Changes

  • Row-scope machinery, extracted (src/query-plan-scope.ts): buildStateWhere, wrapWithRowNumberDedup, createTableRefRemapper, the cursor lowering, and later buildMtiJoins moved verbatim out of query-plan-select.ts so the aggregate path can reach them without depending on the select path. Move-only — the nested include(...) path emits exactly what it emitted before.

  • Root .aggregate() honours the chain's scope (src/query-plan-aggregate.ts): compileAggregate now takes the collection's CollectionState and, when the chain carries a limit, offset, or distinct, wraps its source in a <table>__scoped derived table — inner select carrying the WHERE, ORDER BY and LIMIT/OFFSET, outer carrying the aggregate projection. cursor folds into the WHERE either way and doesn't itself trigger a wrap; a bare orderBy stays inert. distinct reuses the portable ROW_NUMBER dedup with the ordering reapplied on the ranked alias before LIMIT slices it. This mirrors the shape include('posts', (p) => p.skip(5).take(10).count()) has always compiled to.

  • compileAggregate joins MTI variant tables: a variant-owned column referenced by orderBy previously produced SQL naming a table the query never joined. Fixing it also closes the same missing join for where(), which was broken independently of this work.

  • distinctOn is capability-gated in the ORM lane (src/collection.ts, src/collection-contract.ts): postgres.distinctOn is an adapter-reported capability that the sql-builder lane has enforced at both type and runtime level all along; the ORM lane never consulted it, so on SQLite the clause type-checked, ran, and was silently dropped by the renderer. Now gated at compile time and at all four points where state.distinctOn is consumed. Reuses the existing ORM.CAPABILITY_MISSING subcode.

  • SQLite renders LIMIT -1 OFFSET n (packages/3-targets/6-adapters/sqlite/src/core/adapter.ts): SQLite's grammar has no standalone OFFSET, but the renderer emitted LIMIT and OFFSET as independently-omittable clauses — so skip without take produced unparseable SQL. This fixes .skip(n).all() too, which was broken long before this branch.

  • A committed baseline guards the negative requirement: test/aggregate-plan-baseline.test.ts snapshots the compiled plan AST for seven chains that name no row scope, generated against unmodified source and committed before any behaviour change. It has not moved across any of the 17 commits, including the origin/main sync.

Why

Why a conditional wrap rather than an unconditional derived table. An aggregate naming no row scope has to compile byte-identically to before, not "close enough that the planner optimises it away." The baseline snapshot is the mechanism, and its ordering is the entire point — a snapshot written after the change would prove only self-consistency.

Why distinctOn grew a gate here. The slice originally claimed "adapter impact: none — the portable ROW_NUMBER lowering." That was true for distinct and false for distinctOn, which lowers to Postgres-only DISTINCT ON. Rather than close a DoD item saying "root aggregates honour distinctOn" while it silently mis-answered on SQLite, the gate matches the lane that already had one. The repo's own scorecard had this recorded as reachable-but-untested.

Why the SQLite renderer fix is in this branch. The defect is pre-existing, but this work makes skip-without-take a named done-condition on both targets. Closing that on one target while the other threw a syntax error would be a checked box over a broken behaviour.

Why the assert moved to where state is consumed. Guarding distinctOn() the builder method left the public Collection constructor — which accepts a caller-supplied CollectionState — as an open path into the same clause. assertReturningCapability, the helper this mirrors, guards terminals for exactly that reason.

Verified end to end against a real Postgres and a real SQLite: paginated aggregates return hand-computed values that differ from their unpaginated equivalents, parameters bind correctly across the derived-table boundary, and the capability gate refuses on SQLite while staying invisible on Postgres.

Grouped positions — .take(10).groupBy('x') and .groupBy('x').orderBy(...).take(10) — are the next slice. The last it.fails in test/aggregate-pagination.test.ts is the grouped case, deliberately left red.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Aggregates now respect filtering, sorting, pagination, cursors, and distinct selections.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SQL ORM now scopes aggregates to the complete collection state, including pagination, cursors, ordering, and distinct selections. distinctOn() requires PostgreSQL capability support. Shared query-scope helpers now serve select and aggregate planning. SQLite supports offset-only queries.

Changes

SQL ORM query scoping

Layer / File(s) Summary
distinctOn capability gating
docs/architecture docs/subsystems/3. Query Lanes.md, packages/3-extensions/sql-orm-client/src/collection-contract.ts, packages/3-extensions/sql-orm-client/src/collection.ts, packages/3-extensions/sql-orm-client/src/query-plan-select.ts, packages/3-extensions/sql-orm-client/test/*distinct-on*, packages/3-extensions/sql-orm-client/test/collection-contract.test.ts, scorecard/06-sql-orm-client.md, skills/prisma-8-extension-upgrade/...
distinctOn() now requires postgres.distinctOn in public types and runtime state validation. Documentation, upgrade guidance, scorecard entries, and capability tests reflect the separate capability.
Shared query-scope helpers
packages/3-extensions/sql-orm-client/src/query-plan-scope.ts, packages/3-extensions/sql-orm-client/src/query-plan-select.ts
Shared helpers now build cursor predicates, state filters, remapped references, row-number deduplication, and MTI joins. Select planning uses these helpers instead of local implementations.
Scoped aggregate planning
packages/3-extensions/sql-orm-client/src/collection.ts, packages/3-extensions/sql-orm-client/src/query-plan-aggregate.ts, packages/3-extensions/sql-orm-client/test/aggregate-*.test.ts, packages/3-extensions/sql-orm-client/test/query-plan-aggregate.test.ts, packages/3-extensions/sql-orm-client/test/variant-include.query-plan-aggregate.test.ts, test/integration/test/sql-orm-client/aggregate*.test.ts, test/integration/test/sql-orm-client/self-relations-matrix.test.ts
Aggregate compilation now consumes collection state and scopes filters, cursors, pagination, ordering, distinct selections, and polymorphic joins through derived queries. Unit and integration tests cover generated plans and aggregate results.
SQLite pagination support
packages/3-targets/6-adapters/sqlite/src/core/adapter.ts, packages/3-targets/6-adapters/sqlite/test/adapter.test.ts
SQLite emits LIMIT -1 OFFSET n when an offset has no limit. Adapter tests cover offset-only and combined pagination.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 66797

This change makes aggregate results honor pagination and distinct row scope, while also changing unsupported distinctOn behavior and SQLite offset rendering. Merge readiness remains moderate because the capability check may still allow unsupported DISTINCT ON execution, certain cursor/orderBy combinations may produce an empty filter, and the upgrade detector can issue migration guidance for unrelated APIs.

…-scoping lands

Snapshots the compiled plan AST and params for aggregate chains that
name no row scope (bare, where-only, orderBy-only which stays inert,
multi-selector including a no-column count(), and the grouped
equivalents) against unmodified src/. Later work adds row-scoping to
compileAggregate; this baseline is what proves an unpaginated
aggregate keeps compiling to the same plan.

Move createTableRefRemapper, buildStateWhere, its cursor lowering
(buildCursorWhere, createBoundaryExpr, buildLexicographicCursorWhere),
and wrapWithRowNumberDedup out of query-plan-select.ts into a new
sibling module. query-plan-select.ts imports them back; the SQL it
compiles is unchanged. This gives compileAggregate a module to import
the same row-scoping machinery from, without duplicating it.

compileAggregate now takes the collection's CollectionState instead of a
bare filters array. A chain carrying limit and/or offset wraps its source
in a `${tableName}__scoped` derived table: the inner select carries the
WHERE (filters plus the cursor boundary), ORDER BY, and LIMIT/OFFSET; the
outer select reduces over the derived alias. A chain naming neither
compiles through the unchanged code path. cursor folds into the WHERE via
buildStateWhere regardless of pagination, mirroring the nested scalar-refine
path; a bare orderBy stays inert. compileGroupedAggregate keeps its filters
parameter — grouped row-scoping is the next slice.

…column-and-__row

scopedInnerProjection added a constant __row column whenever any selector
in the spec lacked a column, even when other selectors already projected
real columns. That collides with a model column actually named __row and
diverges from the nested prior art it was ported from, which is exclusive:
one selector is either a column or __row, never both. Gate the constant on
the deduped column set being empty instead.

Adds coverage: orderBy() propagating into the wrapped inner select (with
the outer select staying unordered), and a wrapped multi-selector spec
whose inner projection is exactly the deduped column set. Drops a
tautological assertion from the ParamRef-identity test that compared
plan.params against its own definition.

needsRowScope widens to hasPagination || hasDistinct, matching
query-plan-select.ts:1237-1241 verbatim. Inside the wrap, distinctOn lowers
to native withDistinctOn with orderBy applied when present; distinct dedups
via wrapWithRowNumberDedup then reapplies orderBy on the ranked alias so
LIMIT/OFFSET slices the ordered, deduped rows instead of an
arbitrarily-ordered set — the ROW_NUMBER wrap strips ordering from its own
output, so skipping the reapplication silently reduces over the wrong rows.
Hidden order columns are carried through the wrap only for the distinct +
orderBy combination, mirroring query-plan-select.ts:1284-1355.

Also asserts the columns.size === 0 branch of scopedInnerProjection (every
selector lacks a column, under the wrap) projects exactly __row.

…epts

The distinctOn() test drove orderBy(views desc).distinctOn(title), which
lowers to `DISTINCT ON ("title") ... ORDER BY "views" DESC` — Postgres
requires DISTINCT ON expressions to match the leading ORDER BY expressions,
so that plan is a 42P10 the renderer never reconciles. Rewritten to lead
the orderBy with the distinctOn column (title asc, views desc as a
tiebreaker), mirroring the valid usage documented at collection.ts:920-924.
No lowering change: the invalid-prefix case is a pre-existing gap on
.distinctOn(...).all() too, out of scope here.

compileAggregate built its FROM from tableSourceForContract alone, so a
.variant(...)-narrowed model whose variant-owned orderBy or where() column
resolves to a ColumnRef qualified against the variant table emitted a plan
missing that table from its own FROM. compileAggregate now takes an
optional modelName and, mirroring compileSelect strategy via the newly
exported buildMtiJoins, joins the variant table whenever the model is
polymorphic and narrowed to an MTI variant — unconditional on which clause
references it, since the aggregate selector column and distinct/distinctOn
always resolve against the base model and orderBy is the only axis that
can carry a variant-qualified column.

The join lands on inner before the distinct branch: withProjection carries
it through wrapWithRowNumberDedup into the ranked subquery, where a
variant-qualified hidden-order expression needs it in scope. STI variants
keep their columns on the base table and need no join — confirmed rather
than assumed, via the Bug/Feature split in the existing polymorphism
fixture.

buildMtiJoins moves out of query-plan-select.ts, verbatim, into
query-plan-scope.ts alongside the other row/join-scope helpers query-plan-
select.ts and query-plan-aggregate.ts both already share from there.
query-plan-select.ts imports it back; the SQL it compiles is unchanged.
Reusing it across two exporting modules is the coupling query-plan-scope
exists to remove — the D2 module is not narrowed to row-scope machinery
specifically, so it is the shared home rather than a third module.

.distinctOn() typechecked and ran on every target, including SQLite, whose
renderer silently drops the clause (adapter.ts:236 reads only ast.distinct) —
undeduped rows with no signal. sql-builder already gates the identical
capability at both levels; the ORM lane never consulted it.

Type gate: distinctOn()s rest-param type nests
`TContract["capabilities"] extends { postgres: { distinctOn: true } }`
ahead of the existing hasOrderBy gate, narrowing to never on a contract
that does not declare the capability — mirrors the ORM lanes own idiom
for this kind of gate (the sibling hasOrderBy check) rather than
importing sql-builders GatedMethod, which would add a cross-lane package
dependency neither lane currently has. The two mechanisms resolve
identically on wide/empty capability shapes.

Runtime gate: assertDistinctOnCapability mirrors assertReturningCapability
(reuses hasContractCapability unmodified, reuses the existing
ORM.CAPABILITY_MISSING subcode — no new subcode) but matches
sql-builders exact message text, `distinctOn() requires capability
postgres.distinctOn`, so both lanes throw an identical, greppable string.

Corrects the Query Lanes subsystem doc, which named a projection.distinctOn
key that is never emitted or checked — the ORM and sql-builder lanes both
gate on postgres.distinctOn. Also corrects the adjacent .distinct() line,
which claimed a capability requirement that lowering to the portable
ROW_NUMBER dedup never needed.

Splits the sql-orm-client scorecards distinct/distinctOn row: distinctOn
on SQLite moves from untested-but-reachable to not-applicable, since it is
now a compile error there; distinct(...) is unaffected and keeps its prior
status.

…lities shape

GeneratedLikeContractBase narrowed only domain from the base Contract
interface, leaving capabilities at the wide Record<string, Record<string,
boolean>> default — a shape the new distinctOn() capability gate cannot
distinguish from a contract that lacks postgres.distinctOn, since boolean
does not extend the literal true the gate checks for. The existing
.distinctOn(email) call at line 241 is a positive usage with nothing
modelling a capability-less contract deliberately, so completing the
override to declare postgres.distinctOn: true (matching what the real
emitted fixture at test/fixtures/generated/contract.d.ts carries) makes
this stand-in more faithful to what it models, not less.

…umed

assertDistinctOnCapability guarded only the distinctOn() builder method,
which is one entry point into state.distinctOn — a Collection built
directly from a hand-constructed CollectionState (both exported from
./exports) never calls distinctOn(), so neither the type gate nor the
runtime assert on the method fired. compileAggregate and compileSelect
now assert the capability themselves, right where state.distinctOn is
read and lowered to withDistinctOn, closing the gap for every entry point
rather than only the one method. The method-level assert stays: it fails
fast at authoring time with a better error location, and the two are
defence in depth rather than redundant.

Adds a type-only regression pin settling whether the distinctOn()
parameter gate is defeatable via the house `as never` cast idiom used
throughout the aggregate tests: it is not — the rest parameter collects
the argument into a [never] tuple, which is never assignable to the bare
never the gate narrows to, regardless of the arguments own cast.

Rewords the .distinct() doc line to avoid an unqualified "every target"
claim, matching the "portable path" phrasing this codebase already uses
for the identical property elsewhere. Marks the GeneratedLikeContractBase
capabilities override as deliberately minimal so a future reader does not
mistake the single key for an oversight.

F9 guarded compileAggregate and compileSelect, but three more paths lower
state.distinctOn without ever consulting the capability:

- compileSelectWithIncludes, reached whenever state.includes is non-empty
  (dispatchCollectionRows routes there instead of compileSelect) — closed
  by guarding buildSelectAst, the private helper both compileSelect and
  compileSelectWithIncludes lower distinctOn through, rather than
  duplicating the check in compileSelectWithIncludes's own body.
- buildIncludeChildRowsSelect, reached because include()'s refinement
  callback result is accepted by isCollectionStateCarrier with no identity
  check against the collection the callback was handed — a refinement can
  return an unrelated, hand-built collection whose own state carries
  distinctOn.
- buildIncludeChildScalarSelect, reached because includeRefinementMode is
  a public constructor option: a hand-built collection constructed with it
  can call a scalar reducer on itself, and #includeScalarReducer captures
  that state's distinctOn with no gate in between.

No single choke point covers all five now-guarded sites without
restructuring the dispatch layer: .aggregate() reaches compileAggregate
directly from collection.ts, bypassing dispatchCollectionRows entirely, so
a guard placed there could not have covered it regardless. The two
include-child builders are independent leaf functions with no shared
lowering helper between them, so each needs its own assert. buildSelectAst
was the one genuine consolidation available — a private helper already
shared by two of the five call sites — so the fix touches it once rather
than duplicating a check into compileSelectWithIncludes.

Each guard is proven by a test that fails without it (verified by
temporarily removing all three and confirming exactly those three tests
fail, no others) using the exact constructions this gap allows: a root
state carrying both distinctOn and an include, an include() refinement
returning an unrelated collection, and a hand-built includeRefinementMode
collection calling a scalar reducer on itself.

…QLite

Everything before this proved plan shape. This proves numbers: every case
seeds a row set where the paginated answer and the unpaginated answer
differ, so a wrap that silently stopped applying would flip these back to
the unpaginated numbers.

PGlite (aggregate.test.ts): take() after orderBy() sums only the top n;
skip() without take() sums all-but-the-first-n; where() combined with
pagination; distinct() and distinctOn() each reduce to one row per key;
and a two-distinct-parameter WHERE crossing the derived-table boundary
under pagination, asserting both the returned number and that exactly two
params reached the query.

SQLite (new aggregate-sqlite.test.ts, following count-terminal-
interleaving.test.ts's in-test defineContract pattern — no new fixture
emitted): the same take/where/distinct/parameter-binding cases. distinctOn
is out of scope on this target: it is gated on postgres.distinctOn (D4c),
which this contract does not declare, so the call never reaches the
renderer. Aggregate operations dispatch dynamically (mirroring
sqlite-include-canonical-json.test.ts) since a hand-authored contract's
static aggregate map is unknown to the typed builder surface.

Confirms the predicted skip()-without-take() SQLite failure rather than
working around it: SQLite's grammar has no standalone OFFSET, and the
chain fails with the exact predicted error (`SqlQueryError: near "OFFSET":
syntax error`, verified via a throwaway probe against node:sqlite before
being pinned as the real assertion) rather than a coincidental one. Left
in place as the known gap for a separate authorised dispatch.

Hardens self-relations-matrix.test.ts's two-deep include test by adding
distinct('name') at both nesting levels, routing an already-covered chain
through the ROW_NUMBER dedup ladder at self-relation depth for the first
time — the one place two same-named hidden-order aliases at different
depths actually meet wrapWithRowNumberDedup's forward-every-alias
behaviour. Passes unchanged, confirming by execution what review had only
confirmed by reading.

SQLite's grammar is `LIMIT expr [OFFSET expr]` — there is no standalone
OFFSET clause. The renderer emitted LIMIT and OFFSET as two independent,
independently-omittable clauses, so an AST carrying an offset with no
limit produced SQL SQLite rejects with "near \"OFFSET\": syntax error".

Emit `LIMIT -1 OFFSET n` when an offset is present and a limit is not;
-1 is SQLite's documented idiom for an unbounded limit. Both-set,
limit-only, and neither-set all render byte-identically to before,
verified by a new renderer test covering all four combinations plus a
break/restore check confirming the offset-only case discriminates.

Un-skips the SQLite `skip()` without `take()` aggregate case D5 left in
place as a confirmed known gap; it now asserts a value.

Before this slice, .take(10).aggregate(...) silently reduced over
every matching row; it now reduces over the ten. That is a behaviour
change users need to find without reading a changelog, and TSDoc is
where they meet it.

- aggregate(): states that it reduces over the rows the chain
  describes, not every matching row, and names take/skip/cursor/
  distinct/distinctOn as the state that shapes it. Carries a worked
  example (top 2 of 5 posts by views) whose scoped answer (90) differs
  from the unscoped one (150).
- take() / skip(): note the window applies to whatever terminal
  follows, aggregate() included, with a short aggregate example
  alongside the existing all() one.

groupBy() is deliberately untouched — the pre-group/post-group
distinction doesn't exist yet, so documenting a rule the code doesn't
implement would be worse than documenting nothing. No behaviour
change; comment text only.

internal dispatch identifiers, which do not survive project close.
Rewrite both keeping the durable substance and dropping the IDs:

- The distinctOn-out-of-scope comment no longer parenthesizes the
  capability-gating dispatch that added the check; the check itself
  (postgres.distinctOn) is the durable fact.
- The skip()-without-take() comment states what changed and why
  (SQLite has no standalone OFFSET; the renderer now emits
  LIMIT -1 OFFSET n) without naming which dispatches confirmed or
  fixed it.

Several comments this branch introduced restated what the code beneath
them already says. Trim to the ones that carry information a reader
cannot get from the code:

- take()/skip() TSDoc: drop the "applies to whatever terminal follows"
  paragraph and its aggregate example — that a limit/offset applies to
  the terminal that follows it is not news, and the example was
  padding around a non-fact. Both docblocks are back to their
  pre-branch text.
- compileAggregate's clause-order comment: was narrating each branch
  in sequence, which the code beneath already shows. Keep only the
  non-obvious part — getting the order wrong yields a plausible plan
  with a wrong answer — plus the prior-art pointer.
- The MTI-join comment: drop the "MTI variant join, mirroring
  compileSelect's strategy" announcement of the line below it. Keep
  the two non-obvious facts — why the join is unconditional on
  polymorphism rather than on which clause references the variant
  table, and that STI needs none.

Left untouched: every comment this branch moved verbatim out of
query-plan-select.ts into query-plan-scope.ts (wrapWithRowNumberDedup's
docblock, the SQLite window-spec note, buildMtiJoins, the cursor
helpers) — verified by diffing each against its pre-move text in
origin/main's query-plan-select.ts; all byte-identical, none touched.
Also left untouched: every comment matching a "why, not what" shape —
the __row exclusivity rationale, why cursor sits outside the wrap
condition, why hidden order columns exist only for distinct+orderBy,
why the variant join must precede the distinct branch, every
consumption-site duplicate-guard comment, the SQLite LIMIT -1 grammar
note, aggregate()'s own row-scope rule statement and its two-chain
example, distinctOn()'s capability note, and every test comment
explaining what makes its case discriminate — all reviewed against the
same noise criteria and kept because none of them restate the code.

The first trim pass was too timid. This pass deletes rather than
condenses, and restores two blocks in query-plan-aggregate.ts that
predate this branch back to their exact origin/main wording (they had
drifted while a new paragraph was inserted above them).

Branch-authored src comment lines: 100 -> 9, across collection-contract.ts,
collection.ts, query-plan-aggregate.ts, query-plan-select.ts, and the
SQLite adapter. query-plan-scope.ts is untouched and reconfirmed
byte-identical to origin/main's pre-move text (verified per-function
via diff against `git show origin/main:query-plan-select.ts`) - all 24
of its comment lines are the move, not this branch's prose.

Four near-identical distinctOn-capability guard comments (three in
query-plan-select.ts, one in query-plan-aggregate.ts) are now bare
if-guards with no comment at all, rather than four repetitions of the
same explanation.

collection.ts's aggregate() TSDoc lost its two-chain worked example
entirely, per instruction; distinctOn()'s capability note is one line
with no SQLite mention. No comment in generic/shared code names
"aggregate" or "SQLite" outside the code that is actually about them.

…y-plan-scope

compileAggregate mixed two concerns: deciding whether an aggregate
needs row scoping, and building the actual scoped select (projection,
variant joins, WHERE, distinct lowering, hidden-order columns,
reapplied ordering, LIMIT/OFFSET). Only the first is about aggregates.

Extract buildScopedSource(contract, namespaceId, tableName, state,
modelName, projection) into query-plan-scope.ts, next to the row-scope
machinery it already composes (buildStateWhere, buildMtiJoins,
wrapWithRowNumberDedup). It takes whatever projection the caller wants
on the scoped inner select and owns everything else, including the
hidden-order columns the caller never needs to know about. It carries
no aggregate vocabulary - scopedInnerProjection (which columns an
aggregate spec needs, and the __row fallback) stays in
query-plan-aggregate.ts, aggregate-specific as it always was.

compileAggregate now reads as: decide whether the chain names a row
scope; if it does, build the scoped source and project the aggregates
over it; if not, project them over the table directly. ~136 lines down
to ~87, plus the 70-line helper. The duplicated projection block and
the two return paths are untouched - not this dispatch's job.

While moving the code: the three separate withOrderBy call sites in
the distinct/distinctOn/plain-order branches collapse to one, with the
ranked-alias remap as the only difference between arms. The repeated
`x !== undefined && x.length > 0` checks become a local hasEntries
type guard (no existing @internal/utils predicate for this).

Zero output change: baseline snapshot untouched, every existing test
(unit and integration) passes with no expectation edits, no new
comments introduced.

…ow-scope machinery

buildSelectAst and buildScopedSource independently implemented the same
things: buildStateWhere, the distinct(cols) ROW_NUMBER lowering,
orderBy, limit/offset, MTI joins - two implementations of one job, and
the aggregate path's diverged into worse: a hidden-order-column /
ranked-alias-reapply scheme buildSelectAst never needed, because it
aliases its ROW_NUMBER wrap back to the original tableName instead of
inventing a new one - every outer reference (projection, joins,
orderBy) then resolves through that alias with no rewriting. The
aggregate path used a different alias per wrap layer instead
(tableName__scoped, tableName__scoped_distinct), which is exactly why
it needed the hidden columns to carry orderBy through, and threaded a
refTableName parameter through toAggregateProjection to paper over the
mismatch.

Extracted buildDistinctScopedSource (query-plan-scope.ts): the
FROM-source-plus-WHERE decision buildTopLevelDistinctRankedInner made,
generalized to accept a caller-supplied wrap projection instead of
hardcoding "every column of the table". buildSelectAst now calls it in
place of its own local copy, with zero change to what it emits -
verified against the full sql-orm-client suite and the pinned
unscoped-aggregate baseline (byte-identical, confirmed via git diff on
the snapshot file). buildScopedSource is rewritten on top of the same
helper: one row-scope SELECT aliased to tableName carrying where, MTI
joins, distinct/distinctOn, orderBy, and limit/offset - the aggregate
has no second, outer level the way a plain select does, so everything
that shapes which rows it collapses has to live in this one wrap.
wrapWithRowNumberDedup and its hidden-order-column machinery are
untouched where they still apply (the three include-level dedup call
sites in query-plan-select.ts, a different scoping problem with its
own relation-specific aliasing) - only buildScopedSource's own
reimplementation of the same idea is gone.

refTableName disappears everywhere per the observation that motivated
this: toAggregateProjection takes tableName only now, and
compileGroupedAggregate's two call sites (which always passed
tableName, tableName) simplify mechanically.

Fixed a real gap surfaced by running the integration suite, not found
by inspection: scopedInnerProjection only projected the aggregate
selectors' own columns into the wrap, so an orderBy naming a column no
selector aggregated (an id tiebreaker alongside a userId-scoped count,
in the failing case) had nothing to resolve against once wrapped -
"no such column" on SQLite, "column does not exist" on Postgres. The
old hidden-order-projection scheme happened to cover this by
construction; the direct-alias scheme needs the wrap's projection to
name it explicitly, so scopedInnerProjection now folds orderBy's
column-ref columns into the same set its selectors already build.

Test churn is the alias rename the emitted SQL now uses (tableName
instead of tableName__scoped/__scoped_distinct) plus one test whose
premise (reapplying orderBy through a hidden column after the wrap)
no longer exists now that no rewriting is needed at all - rewritten to
assert the direct column reference instead of deleted, since the
property it was proving (take() slices the ordered, deduped rows) is
still real and still needs proving.

…put naming

"Scoped" collides with this package's existing use of "scope" for
execution/lifetime (RuntimeScope, ModelAccessorScope, childScope,
withMutationScope, acquireRuntimeScope). "Subquery" was considered and
rejected too: the SQL packages already use it for a query nested in an
expression (SubqueryExpr, EXISTS), and what this builds is a
DerivedTableSource in the FROM clause, not that. Renamed to what the
thing is to its caller instead: the aggregate's input.

buildScopedSource -> buildAggregateInput
scopedInnerProjection -> aggregateInputColumns
needsRowScope -> needsInputSelect
buildDistinctScopedSource -> buildDedupedTableSource (shared with
  buildSelectAst, so aggregate-named would be wrong for its other caller)

Local variables and comments carrying the same word came along:
scopedSelect -> aggregateInput in the three test files that used it,
plus the "row scope" / "scoped derived table" / "scoped-wrap" phrasing
in comments and two test titles in aggregate-pagination.test.ts and
aggregate-plan-baseline.test.ts. The baseline snapshot file's export
keys are derived from aggregate-plan-baseline.test.ts's renamed
describe title, so they moved too - verified via diff that only the
seven key strings changed and every pinned AST value underneath them
is byte-identical to what it was before this commit.

Zero behaviour change: every test passes with the same pass/fail
counts as before the rename (753 unit, 326 integration), and every
edit outside an identifier/comment/test-name is the mechanical
consequence of one (an import re-sorted after its name changed).

Every pre-existing "scope" meaning lifetime/execution is untouched.

chain describes, not every matching row." - the default expectation
needs no promise it holds, and the fact that it used to be false is
changelog material, not docstring material.

Operator: reword the `__row` comment in aggregateInputColumns to name
the concrete case that produces it - a bare count() (no argument) with
no orderBy naming a column either - instead of just restating the
mechanism.

CodeRabbit, verified before changing anything: assertDistinctOnCapability
called hasContractCapability(contract, 'distinctOn'), which scans every
capability group and returns true if any of them has a truthy distinctOn
key - confirmed by reading its implementation, not assumed. The type
gate narrows specifically on `{ postgres: { distinctOn: true } }`
(collection.ts:936), so a contract declaring distinctOn under some other
group would pass the runtime check while failing to satisfy what the
type gate promises - and could reach it dynamically through a hand-built
CollectionState, the same bypass class the existing capability tests in
this file already exercise. hasContractCapability itself is correct
for its other caller (assertReturningCapability, which is intentionally
target-portable); only assertDistinctOnCapability's use of it was wrong,
so it now checks contract.capabilities.postgres.distinctOn directly.

Added a regression test building a contract with distinctOn under
`projection` instead of `postgres`, with a hand-built state carrying
distinctOn - proven to catch the bug via break/restore: reverting the
fix makes exactly this one test fail (the other six unaffected), and
restoring it goes green again.

Gates: package typecheck/test/lint, integration-tests test/sql-orm-client,
lint:deps - all green. Baseline snapshot unmoved (confirmed via diff
against the pinned .snap file, empty). Net change to authored src
comment lines across this commit: zero (the two trims offset the new
comment on the capability fix).

…urce.ts

The identifier rename landed, but the filename still said "scope" -
the last place that word survived in this meaning, and the first
thing a reader meets. Everything inside the module is
buildAggregateInput, buildDedupedTableSource, buildStateWhere,
buildMtiJoins, wrapWithRowNumberDedup, createTableRefRemapper - it
owns the FROM/WHERE/JOIN side of a plan (which rows, and where they
come from), as opposed to query-plan-select.ts (how a read is shaped)
or query-plan-aggregate.ts (how rows are reduced).

"Source" matches this codebase's existing vocabulary (AnyFromSource,
TableSource, DerivedTableSource - two of the module's six exports
return one). query-plan-rows.ts was considered and rejected: already
taken by the queryPlanRows execution helper.

git mv, so history follows the file. Two import path updates
(query-plan-select.ts, query-plan-aggregate.ts) - the only non-transient
references repo-wide; everything else naming the old path lives under
projects/aggregate-pagination/**, which stays as-is. No module-level
doc comment existed to update. Zero behaviour change: every test
passes with the same pass/fail counts as before this commit.

Delivers the project's last un-owned DoD item (docs half only — the
TSDoc half was explicitly refused per operator direction in spec.md).

Adds docs/reference/ORM Collection Chaining.md — no ORM chaining guide
existed, so this is a new one, scoped tightly to the position-semantics
rule (pagination before groupBy() scopes rows, after it pages groups)
rather than a full API reference, following Mongo Pipeline Builder.md's
conventions for tone and shape.

Adds docs/releases/v8.0.0-rc.5.md, hand-authored per the process
docs/releases/README.md documents for pre-cut entries, covering both
halves of the project: root aggregate() honoring pagination (#30067,
already merged) and groupBy() position semantics (this slice, PR
number pending). Aimed at someone who already wrote the previously
silent-no-op form and will see their numbers change on upgrade with no
error.

Closes the aggregate-pagination project and removes its working
artifacts. Documentation-only — no source, no tests, no behaviour.

## ⚠️ Merge order

**This must merge after prisma#30098.** That PR lands the project's retro
learnings into `drive/calibration/dod.md` and the upgrade-instructions
skill. This project produced no long-lived documentation to migrate —
the one guide it wrote was deleted on review — so the learnings are its
only durable output. Merging this first deletes them.

## What the project delivered

`.aggregate()` silently ignored `take` / `skip` / `cursor` / `distinct`
/ `distinctOn`, reducing over every matching row and returning a
confident, wrong number with no signal. `groupBy()` had the same defect
for everything chained before it. Both are fixed, with **clause position
deciding meaning**: before a terminal, clauses shape the rows it
reduces; after `groupBy()`, they page the groups.

- prisma#30067 — root `aggregate()` honours the whole chain
- prisma#30092 — `groupBy()` carries the chain before it; `GroupedCollection`
gained `take` / `skip` / `orderBy` to page groups, with post-group
pagination requiring a prior `orderBy` at the type level

## Definition of Done

All items met, with one closed as deliberately refused:

- Root `aggregate()` honours `take`/`skip`/`cursor` including bare
`skip`, and `distinct()`/`distinctOn()` ✅
- Pre-group clauses scope rows, post-group clauses page groups, both
verified with `having()` present ✅
- Post-group pagination gated on a prior `orderBy` in the type state ✅
- CI-enforced guard that an unpaginated aggregate's compiled AST is
unchanged — the baseline snapshot is byte-identical across every commit
of both slices ✅
- Integration tests assert values, not plan shape, on PGlite **and**
SQLite for each chain position ✅
- `test/aggregate-pagination.test.ts` free of `it.fails` ✅
- No new ORM error subcode ✅
- Position rule documented where a user meets it — **closed as
refused.** Both halves were rejected on operator review: TSDoc as
restating the signatures, and a reference guide as unwarranted for what
is a bug fix. The changelog entries in `v8.0.0-rc.5.md` carry the
user-facing notice.

## Spun out, not dropped

prisma#30099 fixes enum `ORDER BY` / `DISTINCT ON` losing declaration order
behind any derived table. Manual QA found it through the grouped path,
but it is **pre-existing and wider** — `.distinct().orderBy(enumCol)`
has had it since `wrapWithRowNumberDedup` first aliased a derived table
back to its base name. It ships separately, before rc.5 is cut, so no
released version exposes the new route unfixed.

## Notes

Two findings were deliberately not ticketed, per standing direction on
QA follow-ups: an empty TSDoc hover at the `never`-narrowing error site
(`cursor()` behaves identically, so it is a house-level property, not a
slice regression), and the demo's namespaced contract requiring
`db.orm.<ns>.<Model>` where flat-namespace examples use
`db.orm.<Model>`.
