-- | This module defines the type class 'BackendSchema' and auxiliary types.
--
-- 'BackendSchema' represents the part of the interface that a backend driver
-- presents to the GraphQL Engine core that is responsible for generating
-- the backend's Schema Parsers.
--
-- The Schema Parsers recognise (and reflect) the schema that a backend exposes.
--
-- The 'BackendSchema' methods are used by
-- 'Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.buildGQLContext', which is the core's entrypoint to
-- schema generation.
--
-- Many of the 'BackendSchema' methods will have default implementations that a
-- backend driver may use. These may be found (chiefly) in the modules:
--
-- * The module "Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.Build", commonly qualified @GSB@
-- * "Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.Select", commonly qualified @GSS@
-- * "Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.BoolExp"
--
-- For more information see:

server: Metadata origin for definitions (type parameter version v2) The code that builds the GraphQL schema, and `buildGQLContext` in particular, is partial: not every value of `(ServerConfigCtx, GraphQLQueryType, SourceCache, HashMap RemoteSchemaName (RemoteSchemaCtx, MetadataObject), ActionCache, AnnotatedCustomTypes)` results in a valid GraphQL schema. When it fails, we want to be able to return better error messages than we currently do. The key thing that is missing is a way to trace back GraphQL type information to their origin from the Hasura metadata. Currently, we have a number of correctness checks of our GraphQL schema. But these correctness checks only have access to pure GraphQL type information, and hence can only report errors in terms of that. Possibly the worst is the "conflicting definitions" error, which, in practice, can only be debugged by Hasura engineers. This is terrible DX for customers. This PR allows us to print better error messages, by adding a field to the `Definition` type that traces the GraphQL type to its origin in the metadata. So the idea is simple: just add `MetadataObjId`, or `Maybe` that, or some other sum type of that, to `Definition`. However, we want to avoid having to import a `Hasura.RQL` module from `Hasura.GraphQL.Parser`. So we instead define this additional field of `Definition` through a new type parameter, which is threaded through in `Hasura.GraphQL.Parser`. We then define type synonyms in `Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.Parser` that fill in this type parameter, so that it is not visible for the majority of the codebase. The idea of associating metadata information to `Definition`s really comes to fruition when combined with hasura/graphql-engine-mono#4517. Their combination would allow us to use the API of fatal errors (just like the current `MonadError QErr`) to report _inconsistencies_ in the metadata. Such inconsistencies are then _automatically_ ignored. So no ad-hoc decisions need to be made on how to cut out inconsistent metadata from the GraphQL schema. This will allow us to report much better errors, as well as improve the likelihood of a successful HGE startup.

Role-invariant schema constructors We build the GraphQL schema by combining building blocks such as `tableSelectionSet` and `columnParser`. These building blocks individually build `{InputFields,Field,}Parser` objects. Those object specify the valid GraphQL schema. Since the GraphQL schema is role-dependent, at some point we need to know what fragment of the GraphQL schema a specific role is allowed to access, and this is stored in `{Sel,Upd,Ins,Del}PermInfo` objects. We have passed around these permission objects as function arguments to the schema building blocks since we first started dealing with permissions during the PDV refactor - see hasura/graphql-engine@5168b99e463199b1934d8645bd6cd37eddb64ae1 in hasura/graphql-engine#4111. This means that, for instance, `tableSelectionSet` has as its type: ```haskell tableSelectionSet :: forall b r m n. MonadBuildSchema b r m n => SourceName -> TableInfo b -> SelPermInfo b -> m (Parser 'Output n (AnnotatedFields b)) ``` There are three reasons to change this. 1. We often pass a `Maybe (xPermInfo b)` instead of a proper `xPermInfo b`, and it's not clear what the intended semantics of this is. Some potential improvements on the data types involved are discussed in issue hasura/graphql-engine-mono#3125. 2. In most cases we also already pass a `TableInfo b`, and together with the `MonadRole` that is usually also in scope, this means that we could look up the required permissions regardless: so passing the permissions explicitly undermines the "single source of truth" principle. Breaking this principle also makes the code more difficult to read. 3. We are working towards role-based parsers (see hasura/graphql-engine-mono#2711), where the `{InputFields,Field,}Parser` objects are constructed in a role-invariant way, so that we have a single object that can be used for all roles. In particular, this means that the schema building blocks _need_ to be constructed in a role-invariant way. While this PR doesn't accomplish that, it does reduce the amount of role-specific arguments being passed, thus fixing hasura/graphql-engine-mono#3068. Concretely, this PR simply drops the `xPermInfo b` argument from almost all schema building blocks. Instead these objects are looked up from the `TableInfo b` as-needed. The resulting code is considerably simpler and shorter. One way to interpret this change is as follows. Before this PR, we figured out permissions at the top-level in `Hasura.GraphQL.Schema`, passing down the obtained `xPermInfo` objects as required. After this PR, we have a bottom-up approach where the schema building blocks themselves decide whether they want to be included for a particular role. So this moves some permission logic out of `Hasura.GraphQL.Schema`, which is very complex.

server: refactor `MonadSchema` into `MonadMemoize` Followup to hasura/graphql-engine-mono#4713. The `memoizeOn` method, part of `MonadSchema`, originally had the following type: ```haskell memoizeOn :: (HasCallStack, Ord a, Typeable a, Typeable b, Typeable k) => TH.Name -> a -> m (Parser k n b) -> m (Parser k n b) ``` The reason for operating on `Parser`s specifically was that the `MonadSchema` effect would additionally initialize certain `Unique` values, which appear (nested in) the type of `Parser`. hasura/graphql-engine-mono#518 changed the type of `memoizeOn`, to additionally allow memoizing `FieldParser`s. These also contained a `Unique` value, which was similarly initialized by the `MonadSchema` effect. The new type of `memoizeOn` was as follows: ```haskell memoizeOn :: forall p d a b . (HasCallStack, HasDefinition (p n b) d, Ord a, Typeable p, Typeable a, Typeable b) => TH.Name -> a -> m (p n b) -> m (p n b) ``` Note the type `p n b` of the value being memoized: by choosing `p` to be either `Parser k` or `FieldParser`, both can be memoized. Also note the new `HasDefinition (p n b) d` constraint, which provided a `Lens` for accessing the `Unique` value to be initialized. A quick simplification is that the `HasCallStack` constraint has never been used by any code. This was realized in hasura/graphql-engine-mono#4713, by removing that constraint. hasura/graphql-engine-mono#2980 removed the `Unique` value from our GraphQL-related types entirely, as their original purpose was never truly realized. One part of removing `Unique` consisted of dropping the `HasDefinition (p n b) d` constraint from `memoizeOn`. What I didn't realize at the time was that this meant that the type of `memoizeOn` could be generalized and simplified much further. This PR finally implements that generalization. The new type is as follows: ```haskell memoizeOn :: forall a p. (Ord a, Typeable a, Typeable p) => TH.Name -> a -> m p -> m p ``` This change has a couple of consequences. 1. While constructing the schema, we often output `Maybe (Parser ...)`, to model that the existence of certain pieces of GraphQL schema sometimes depends on the permissions that a certain role has. The previous versions of `memoizeOn` were not able to handle this, as the only thing they could memoize was fully-defined (if not yet fully-evaluated) `(Field)Parser`s. This much more general API _would_ allow memoizing `Maybe (Parser ...)`s. However, we probably have to be continue being cautious with this: if we blindly memoize all `Maybe (Parser ...)`s, the resulting code may never be able to decide whether the value is `Just` or `Nothing` - i.e. it never commits to the existence-or-not of a GraphQL schema fragment. This would manifest as a non-well-founded knot tying, and this would get reported as an error by the implementation of `memoizeOn`. tl;dr: This generalization _technically_ allows for memoizing `Maybe` values, but we probably still want to avoid doing so. For this reason, the PR adds a specialized version of `memoizeOn` to `Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.Parser`. 2. There is no longer any need to connect the `MonadSchema` knot-tying effect with the `MonadParse` effect. In fact, after this PR, the `memoizeOn` method is completely GraphQL-agnostic, and so we implement hasura/graphql-engine-mono#4726, separating `memoizeOn` from `MonadParse` entirely - `memoizeOn` can be defined and implemented as a general Haskell typeclass method. Since `MonadSchema` has been made into a single-type-parameter type class, it has been renamed to something more general, namely `MonadMemoize`. Its only task is to memoize arbitrary `Typeable p` objects under a combined key consisting of a `TH.Name` and a `Typeable a`. Also for this reason, the new `MonadMemoize` has been moved to the more general `Control.Monad.Memoize`. 3. After this change, it's somewhat clearer what `memoizeOn` does: it memoizes an arbitrary value of a `Typeable` type. The only thing that needs to be understood in its implementation is how the manual blackholing works. There is no more semantic interaction with _any_ GraphQL code.

-- (where the abbreviation @GSB@ refers to "Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.Build" and @GSS@
-- refers to "Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.Select", and @GSBE@ refers to
-- "Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.BoolExp".)
--
-- Several of those steps are part of the class, meaning that a backend can
-- customize part of this tree without having to reimplement all of it. For
-- instance, a backend that supports a different set ot table arguments can
-- choose to reimplement 'tableArguments', but can still use

--
-- Applying the above modelling guidelines has pros and cons:
--
-- * Pro: You can specify both shared and diverging behavior.
-- * Pro: You can specify a lot of behavior implicitly, i.e. it's easy to write.
-- * Con: You can specify a lot of behavior implicitly, i.e. it's hard do
-- understand without tracing through implementations.
-- * Con: You get a proliferation of type class methods and it's difficult to
-- understand how they fit together.
--
-- == Going forward, we want to follow some different modelling guidelines:
--
-- We should break up / refactor the building blocks (in
-- "Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.Build" etc.) which are used to implement the top-level
-- type class methods (e.g. @BackendSchema@.'buildTableQueryAndSubscriptionFields', c.f.
-- @GSB.@'Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.Build.buildTableQueryAndSubscriptionFields', etc.) and have them
-- invoke the backend-specific behaviors they rely on via /function arguments/
-- instead of other type class methods.
--
-- When we do this, the function call sites (which will often be in @instance
-- BackendSchema ...@) becomes the centralised place where we decide which behavior
-- variation to follow.
--
-- When faced with answering the question of "what does this method do, and how does
-- it do it?", at least you will have listed the other components it depends on
-- front and center without having to trace through its implementation.
--
-- That is of course, if we refactor our building blocks mindfully into
-- conceptually meaningful units. Otherwise we'll just end up with an
-- incomprehensible mass of poorly shaped pieces. And we will still have a hard
-- time explaining what they do.
--
-- In other words, It is still the case that if you don't clean your room
-- you'll be living in a mess.
