Summary

Implement missing SQL and template features for the OpenNotes view system, enabling complete analytics capabilities with aggregations, pagination, and dynamic date handling.

What's Included

Phase 1: SQL Completeness

  • ✅ GROUP BY clause with field validation
  • ✅ DISTINCT support for deduplication
  • ✅ OFFSET for pagination (LIMIT + OFFSET)

Phase 2: Aggregation Support

  • ✅ HAVING clause for aggregate filtering
  • ✅ Aggregate functions: COUNT, SUM, AVG, MAX, MIN
  • ✅ Explicit column selection (SelectColumns field)
  • ✅ Aggregate column mapping (AggregateColumns field)

Phase 3: Enhanced Templates

  • ✅ Time arithmetic: {{today±N}}, {{this_week±N}}, {{this_month±N}}
  • ✅ Period shortcuts: {{next_week}}, {{next_month}}, {{start_of_month}}, etc.
  • ✅ Environment variables: {{env:VAR}}, {{env:DEFAULT:VAR}}
  • ✅ Special values: {{quarter}}, {{year}}

Implementation task for missing SQL functionality in view system:
- Phase 1 (2 hrs): GROUP BY (critical), DISTINCT, OFFSET
- Phase 2 (4 hrs): HAVING, Aggregations
- Phase 3 (2 hrs): Template enhancements

Key finding: ViewQuery.GroupBy is defined but not implemented in GenerateSQL().
4-line fix enables dashboards and aggregations.

Investigation complete with 4 detailed analysis documents:
- kanban-groupby-statemachine.txt (state machine diagram)
- missing-functionality.md (gap analysis)
- MISSING_FUNCTIONALITY_SUMMARY.txt (executive summary)
- FINAL_ANALYSIS.txt (complete reference)

Updated todo.md and team.md to track new high-priority task.
Status: PLANNING - Ready for Phase 1 implementation
…system

Implements Phase 1 of task-3d477ab8 missing view system features.

GROUP BY Implementation:
- Add GROUP BY clause generation in GenerateSQL()
- Reuse existing validateField() for SQL injection protection
- Validates field names before adding to query
- Enables aggregate queries and kanban dashboards

DISTINCT Support:
- Add Distinct bool field to ViewQuery struct
- Generate SELECT DISTINCT when flag is set
- Works with WHERE conditions

OFFSET Support:
- Add Offset int field to ViewQuery struct
- Generate OFFSET clause after LIMIT
- Enables pagination with LIMIT + OFFSET
- Supports calculating page offsets: (page-1)*pageSize

All changes are backward compatible (new optional fields).

Tests:
- 3 tests for GROUP BY (valid, injection attempt, with ORDER BY)
- 2 tests for DISTINCT (basic, with WHERE)
- 3 tests for OFFSET (with LIMIT, alone, pagination calculation)
- Total: 8 new tests, all 671+ tests passing, no regressions

- Phase 3 marked as ready for approval (optional enhancements)
- Execution exceeded targets: 1 hour actual vs 4 hours estimated
…ables

Add comprehensive template variable support:

Time Arithmetic Patterns:
- {{today-N}} and {{today+N}} - N days ago/forward
- {{this_week-N}} and {{this_month-N}} - weeks/months ago/forward
- {{end_of_month}} - last day of current month
- {{start_of_month}} - first day of current month
- {{next_week}}, {{next_month}} - next period start
- {{last_week}}, {{last_month}} - last period start
- {{start_of_quarter}}, {{end_of_quarter}} - quarter boundaries
- {{quarter}}, {{year}} - current quarter and year

Environment Variables:
- {{env:VAR_NAME}} - substitute with os.Getenv(VAR_NAME)
- {{env:DEFAULT_VALUE:VAR_NAME}} - use default if VAR not set
- Log warning if env var not found, graceful fallback to empty string

Helper Functions:
- getFirstOfMonth() - first day of any month
- getEndOfMonth() - last day of any month
- getCurrentQuarter() - current quarter (Q1-Q4)
- getStartOfQuarter() - first day of current quarter
- getEndOfQuarter() - last day of current quarter

Pattern Parsing:
- resolveDayArithmetic() - handles {{today±N}} patterns via regex
- resolveWeekMonthArithmetic() - handles {{this_week±N}} and {{this_month±N}}
- resolveEnvironmentVariables() - handles {{env:*}} patterns

Tests: 27 new test cases covering:
- Time arithmetic with positive/negative offsets
- Month/year boundary handling
- Environment variables (set, unset, with defaults)
- Period shortcuts (next/last week/month)
- Quarter calculations
- Integration tests with multiple patterns
- Edge cases (leap years, month boundaries)

All 27 new tests passing, zero regressions.
Total test count: 700+ tests passing.
All 3 phases of task-3d477ab8 now complete:

Phase 1 (✅): GROUP BY, DISTINCT, OFFSET
- 8 new tests passing
- 671+ total tests passing

Phase 2 (✅): HAVING clause, Aggregate functions
- 13 new tests passing
- 684+ total tests passing

Phase 3 (✅): Time arithmetic, environment variables, period shortcuts
- 27 new tests passing
- 711+ total tests passing
- 0 regressions

Total implementation time: ~1.5 hours actual vs 8 hours estimate (81% faster!)

Updated artifacts:
- .memory/task-3d477ab8: Phase 3 actual outcome documented
- .memory/team.md: Current work updated (Phase 1-3 complete)
- .memory/todo.md: Task marked complete and ready for deployment
