Walkthrough

The optimizer now supports single-part and multi-part queries. It tracks symbols across WITH clauses to decide when inbound traversals can be reversed. Unit and integration tests cover carried and non-carried bindings.

Changes

Traversal direction optimization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Multi-part query processing
cypher/models/pgsql/optimize/direction.go
Apply validates query structures and processes single-part or multi-part queries. Reading segments track declared symbols and carry projections through WITH.
WITH-boundary traversal validation
cypher/models/pgsql/optimize/optimizer_test.go, integration/testdata/cases/optimizer_inline.json
Tests verify reversal when a source is not carried across WITH and preservation when the source remains bound. Integration cases validate returned paths and excluded targets.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7da0b

This change adds multipart reversal-rule support, but malformed query combinations may be partially processed and traversals following an UNWIND binding may not be optimized correctly. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness issues and regression coverage are addressed.

Poem

A rabbit hops through WITH so bright,
Tracking bindings left and right.
Paths reverse when sources stray,
Carried sources keep their way.
Tests thump softly: all paths stay tight.

Reject incomplete or ambiguous query representations.

If both query fields are non-nil, Line 36 selects SinglePartQuery and ignores MultiPartQuery. If MultiPartQuery.SinglePartQuery is nil, Lines 74-78 still optimize preceding parts. This partially mutates an unsupported query representation.

Validate that exactly one query field is set. Require a final SinglePartQuery before processing a multipart query.

Proposed fix
 switch {
-case singleQuery.SinglePartQuery != nil:
+case singleQuery.SinglePartQuery != nil && singleQuery.MultiPartQuery == nil:
   return reverseInboundTraversalSinglePartQuery(singleQuery.SinglePartQuery, map[string]struct{}{}), nil
-case singleQuery.MultiPartQuery != nil:
+case singleQuery.SinglePartQuery == nil && singleQuery.MultiPartQuery != nil:
   return reverseInboundTraversalMultiPartQuery(singleQuery.MultiPartQuery), nil
 default:
   return false, nil
 }
 func reverseInboundTraversalMultiPartQuery(query *cypher.MultiPartQuery) bool {
-  if query == nil {
+  if query == nil || query.SinglePartQuery == nil {
     return false
   }

Declare each reading clause before processing the next clause.

Line 63 processes the complete segment before Line 67 declares its symbols. reverseInboundTraversalReadingClauses only declares MATCH symbols during iteration. A preceding UNWIND binding is therefore absent when a later MATCH evaluates reversal eligibility.

Process and declare each ReadingClause in order. This preserves the source-binding constraint for UNWIND ... AS s followed by a traversal from s.

Proposed fix
-for _, part := range query.Parts {
+for _, part := range query.Parts {
   if part == nil {
     continue
   }

-  if reverseInboundTraversalReadingClauses(part.ReadingClauses, declaredSymbols) {
-    applied = true
-  }
-
-  declareReadingClauseSymbols(declaredSymbols, part.ReadingClauses)
+  for _, readingClause := range part.ReadingClauses {
+    if reverseInboundTraversalReadingClauses(
+      []*cypher.ReadingClause{readingClause},
+      declaredSymbols,
+    ) {
+      applied = true
+    }
+    declareReadingClauseSymbols(
+      declaredSymbols,
+      []*cypher.ReadingClause{readingClause},
+    )
+  }

Add a regression case with a carried collection, UNWIND binding, and a traversal that uses that binding as its source.
