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.

### Description
This PR removes the need for the `SourceCache` when building the schema for the actions. To do so, it changes the way we represent custom types in the source cache. Instead of trying to reuse the same `ObjectTypeDefinition` and `TypeRelationship`. we now have separate `AnnotatedObjectType` and `AnnotatedRelationship`. When building them, at schema cache building time, we persist all the relevant source information, so that it's all available at schema building time.
This PR makes no attempt at re-using `RemoteRelationship` primitives, to avoid having to change the way async action queries are executed, and to avoid having to make complicated changes to how we parse and represent those relationships.

Pretty much all quasi-quoted names in the server code base have ended up in `Hasura.GraphQL.Parser.Constants`. I'm now finding this unpleasant for two reasons:
1. I would like to factor out the parser code into its own Cabal package, and I don't want to have to expose all these names.
2. Most of them really have nothing to do with the parsers.
In order to remedy this, I have:
1. moved the names used by parser code to `Hasura.GraphQL.Parser.DirectiveName`, as they're all related to directives;
2. moved `Hasura.GraphQL.Parser.Constants` to `Hasura.Name`, changing the qualified import name from `G` to `Name`;
3. moved names only used in tests to the appropriate test case;
4. removed unused items from `Hasura.Name`; and
5. grouped related names.
Most of the changes are simply changing `G` to `Name`, which I find much more meaningful.

jberryman)
This is part of a merge train towards GHC 9.2 compatibility. The main
issue is the use of the new abstract `KeyMap` in 2.0. See:

#4305
BEHAVIOR CHANGE NOTE: This change causes a different arbitrary ordering
of serialized Json, for example during metadata export. CLI users care
about this in particular, and so we need to call it out as a _behavior
change_ as we did in v2.5.0. The good news though is that after this
change ordering should be more stable (alphabetical key order).

### Description
This PR is a first step in a series of cleanups of action relationships. This first step does not contain any behavioral change, and it simply reorganizes / prunes / rearranges / documents the code. Mainly:
- it divides some files in RQL.Types between metadata types, schema cache types, execution types;
- it renames some types for consistency;
- it minimizes exports and prunes unnecessary types;
- it moves some types in places where they make more sense;
- it replaces uses of `DMap BackendTag` with `BackendMap`.
Most of the "movement" within files re-organizes declarations in a "top-down" fashion, by moving all TH splices to the end of the file, which avoids order or declarations mattering.
### Optional list types
One main type change this PR makes is a replacement of variant list types in `CustomTypes.hs`; we had `Maybe [a]`, or sometimes `Maybe (NonEmpty a)`. This PR harmonizes all of them to `[a]`, as most of the code would use them as such, by doing `fromMaybe []` or `maybe [] toList`.

GitOrigin-RevId: bc624e10df587eba862ff27a5e8021b32d0d78a2
## Motivation
This PR rewrites most of Relay to achieve the following:
- ~~fix a bug in which the same node id could refer to two different tables in the schema~~
- remove one of the few remaining uses of the source cache in the schema building code
In doing so, it also:
- simplifies the `BackendSchema` class by removing `node` from it,
- makes it much easier for other backends to support Relay,
- documents, re-organizes, and clarifies the code.
## Description
This PR introduces a new `NodeId` version ~~, and adapts the Postgres code to always generate this V2 version~~. This new id contains the source name, in addition to the table name, in order to disambiguate similar table names across different sources (which is now possible with source customization). In doing so, it now explicitly handles that case for V1 node ids, and returns an explicit error message instead of running the risk of _silently returning the wrong information_.
Furthermore, it adapts `nodeField` to support multiple backends; most of the code was trivial to generalize, and as a result it lowers the cost of entry for other backends, that now only need to support `AFNodeId` in their translation layer.
Finally, it removes one more cycle in the schema building code, by using the same trick we used for remote relationships instead of using the memoization trick of #4576.
## Remaining work
- ~~[ ]write a Changelog entry~~
- ~~[x] adapt all tests that were asserting on an old node id~~
## Future work
This PR was adapted from its original form to avoid a breaking change: while it introduces a Node ID V2, we keep generating V1 IDs and the parser rejects V2 IDs. It will be easy to make the switch at a later data in a subsequent PR.

### Description
This PR improves the `Collect` module by re-ordering the functions to make clear what is public API and what is internal implementation. Furthermore, it makes use of `traverseOf` and `traverseFields` to reduce duplication. To do so, it also introduces a few more lenses in the rest of the codebase, and uses this opportunity to harmonize some structures that were not following our naming convention.
While the diff is massive, a lot of it is just code moving around; the file is now divided into separate sections:
- entry points: IR types for which we want to run the collection
- internal monadic structure
- internal traversals: functions that do nothing but drill down further
- actual transformations: the three cases where we do actually have work to do: selection sets on which we do want to insert join columns, extract remote relationships... those functions are left unchanged by this PR
- internal helpers
PR-URL: https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-mono/pull/3863
GitOrigin-RevId: f7cbecfae9eed9737b62acfa5848bfcf9d4651f6
### Description
This PR adds the ability to perform remote joins from remote schemas in the engine. To do so, we alter the definition of an `ExecutionStep` targeting a remote schema: the `ExecStepRemote` constructor now expects a `Maybe RemoteJoins`. This new argument is used when processing the execution step, in the transport layer (either `Transport.HTTP` or `Transport.WebSocket`).
For this `Maybe RemoteJoins` to be extracted from a parsed query, this PR also extends the `Execute.RemoteJoin.Collect` module, to implement "collection" from a selection set. Not only do those new functions extract the remote joins, but they also apply all necessary transformations to the selection sets (such as inserting the necessary "phantom" fields used as join keys).
Finally in `Execute.RemoteJoin.Join`, we make two changes. First, we now always look for nested remote joins, regardless of whether the join we just performed went to a source or a remote schema; and second we adapt our join tree logic according to the special cases that were added to deal with remote server edge cases.
Additionally, this PR refactors / cleans / documents `Execute.RemoteJoin.RemoteServer`. This is not required as part of this change and could be moved to a separate PR if needed (a similar cleanup of `Join` is done independently in #3894). It also introduces a draft of a new documentation page for this project, that will be refined in the release PR that ships the feature (either #3069 or a copy of it).
While this PR extends the engine, it doesn't plug such relationships in the schema, meaning that, as of this PR, the new code paths in `Join` are technically unreachable. Adding the corresponding schema code and, ultimately, enabling the metadata API will be done in subsequent PRs.
### Keeping track of concrete type names
The main change this PR makes to the existing `Join` code is to handle a new reserved field we sometimes use when targeting remote servers: the `__hasura_internal_typename` field. In short, a GraphQL selection set can sometimes "branch" based on the concrete "runtime type" of the object on which the selection happens:
```graphql
query {
author(id: 53478) {
... on Writer {
name
articles {
title
}
}
... on Artist {
name
articles {
title
}
}
}
}
```
If both of those `articles` are remote joins, we need to be able, when we get the answer, to differentiate between the two different cases. We do this by asking for `__typename`, to be able to decide if we're in the `Writer` or the `Artist` branch of the query.
To avoid further processing / customization of results, we only insert this `__hasura_internal_typename: __typename` field in the query in the case of unions of interfaces AND if we have the guarantee that we will processing the request as part of the remote joins "folding": that is, if there's any remote join in this branch in the tree. Otherwise, we don't insert the field, and we leave that part of the response untouched.

### Description
This PR is one further step towards remote joins from remote schemas. It introduces a custom partial AST to represent queries to remote schemas in the IR: we now need to augment what used to be a straightforward GraphQL AST with additional information for remote join fields.
This PR does the minimal amount of work to adjust the rest of the code accordingly, using `Void` in all places that expect a type representing remote relationships.

This PR pretty much does the same thing to remote relationship types in schemacache as what #2979 did to remote relationship types in the IR. On main remote relationships are represented by types of form `T from to`. This PR changes it to `T from` which makes it a lot more reusable.

We'll see if this improves compile times at all, but I think it's worth
doing as at least the most minimal form of module documentation.
This was accomplished by first compiling everything with
-ddump-minimal-imports, and then a bunch of scripting (with help from
ormolu)
**EDIT** it doesn't seem to improve CI compile times but the noise floor is high as it looks like we're not caching library dependencies anymore

Prior to this change, the SQL expression that resulted from translating permissions on functions would refer to the table of the function's return type, rather than the set of rows selected from the function being called.
Now the SQL that results from translating permissions correctly refer to the selected rows.
This PR also contains the suggested additions of https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-mono/pull/2563#discussion_r726116863, which simplifies the Boolean Expression IR, but in turn makes the Schema Dependency Discovery algorithm work a bit harder.
We are changing the definition of `data OpExpG`, but the format accepted by its JSON parser remains unchanged. While there does exist a generically derived `instance ToJSON OpExpG` this is only used in the (unpublished) `/v1/metadata/dump_internal_state` API.

Prior to this change, we apply `LIMIT` and `OFFSET` to the outer selection from sub-query which includes joins for relationships. Now, we move `LIMIT` and `OFFSET` (if present) to inner selection of base table. But, this isn't done always! If there are order by relationships' columns we apply at the outer selection.

## Description
This PR removes as many constraints as possible from Backend without refactoring the code. Thanks to #1844, a few ToJSON functions can be removed from the IR, and several constraints were simply redundant.
This PR borrows from similar work done as part of #1666.
## Note
To remove constraints more aggressively, I have explored the possibility of _removing Representable altogether_, in a [separate commit](https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-mono/compare/nicuveo/remove-extension-constraints..nicuveo/tentative-remove-representable). I am not convinced it's a good idea in terms of readability of the code, but it's a possibility.
Further work includes deciding what we want to do with `Show` and `ToTxt`; see #1747.

### Description
In our haste to generalize everything for MSSQL, we put every single "suspicious" type in Backend, including ones that weren't required. `Alias` is one of those: it's only used in a type alias, and is actually just an implementation detail of the translation layer. This PR removes it.

### Description
This PR removes all `fmapX` and `traverseX` functions from RQL.IR, favouring instead `Functor` and `Traversable` instances throughout the code. This was a relatively straightforward change, except for two small pain points: `AnnSelectG` and `AnnInsert`. Both were parametric over two types `a` and `v`, making it impossible to make them traversable functors... But it turns out that in every single use case, `a ~ f v`. By changing those types to take such an `f :: Type -> Type` as an argument instead of `a :: Type` makes it possible to make them functors.
The only small difference is for `AnnIns`, I had to introduce one `Identity` transformation for one of the `f` parameters. This is relatively straightforward.
### Notes
This PR fixes the most verbose BigQuery hint (`let` instead of `<- pure`).

### Description
This PR adds the required IR for DB to DB joins, based on @paf31 and @0x777 's `feature/db-to-db` branch.
To do so, it also refactors the IR to introduce a new type parameter, `r`, which is used to recursively constructs the `v` parameter of remote QueryDBs. When collecting remote joins, we replace `r` with `Const Void`, indicating at the type level that there cannot be any leftover remote join.
Furthermore, this PR refactors IR.Select for readability, moves some code from IR.Root to IR.Select to avoid having to deal with circular dependencies, and makes it compile by adding `error` in all new cases in the execution pipeline.
The diff doesn't make it clear, but most of Select.hs is actually unchanged. Declarations have just been reordered by topic, in the following order:
- type declarations
- instance declarations
- type aliases
- constructor functions
- traverse functions

Remote relationships are now supported on SQL Server and BigQuery. The major change though is the re-architecture of remote join execution logic. Prior to this PR, each backend is responsible for processing the remote relationships that are part of their AST.
This is not ideal as there is nothing specific about a remote join's execution that ties it to a backend. The only backend specific part is whether or not the specification of the remote relationship is valid (i.e, we'll need to validate whether the scalars are compatible).
The approach now changes to this:
1. Before delegating the AST to the backend, we traverse the AST, collect all the remote joins while modifying the AST to add necessary join fields where needed.
1. Once the remote joins are collected from the AST, the database call is made to fetch the response. The necessary data for the remote join(s) is collected from the database's response and one or more remote schema calls are constructed as necessary.
1. The remote schema calls are then executed and the data from the database and from the remote schemas is joined to produce the final response.
### Known issues
1. Ideally the traversal of the IR to collect remote joins should return an AST which does not include remote join fields. This operation can be type safe but isn't taken up as part of the PR.
1. There is a lot of code duplication between `Transport/HTTP.hs` and `Transport/Websocket.hs` which needs to be fixed ASAP. This too hasn't been taken up by this PR.
1. The type which represents the execution plan is only modified to handle our current remote joins and as such it will have to be changed to accommodate general remote joins.
1. Use of lenses would have reduced the boilerplate code to collect remote joins from the base AST.
1. The current remote join logic assumes that the join columns of a remote relationship appear with their names in the database response. This however is incorrect as they could be aliased. This can be taken up by anyone, I've left a comment in the code.
### Notes to the reviewers
I think it is best reviewed commit by commit.
1. The first one is very straight forward.
1. The second one refactors the remote join execution logic but other than moving things around, it doesn't change the user facing functionality. This moves Postgres specific parts to `Backends/Postgres` module from `Execute`. Some IR related code to `Hasura.RQL.IR` module. Simplifies various type class function signatures as a backend doesn't have to handle remote joins anymore
1. The third one fixes partial case matches that for some weird reason weren't shown as warnings before this refactor
1. The fourth one generalizes the validation logic of remote relationships and implements `scalarTypeGraphQLName` function on SQL Server and BigQuery which is used by the validation logic. This enables remote relationships on BigQuery and SQL Server.

docker image - `hasura/graphql-engine:inherited-roles-preview-48b73a2de`
Note:
To be able to use the inherited roles feature, the graphql-engine should be started with the env variable `HASURA_GRAPHQL_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES` set to `inherited_roles`.
Introduction
------------
This PR implements the idea of multiple roles as presented in this [paper](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/FGALanguageICDE07.pdf). The multiple roles feature in this PR can be used via inherited roles. An inherited role is a role which can be created by combining multiple singular roles. For example, if there are two roles `author` and `editor` configured in the graphql-engine, then we can create a inherited role with the name of `combined_author_editor` role which will combine the select permissions of the `author` and `editor` roles and then make GraphQL queries using the `combined_author_editor`.
How are select permissions of different roles are combined?
------------------------------------------------------------
A select permission includes 5 things:
1. Columns accessible to the role
2. Row selection filter
3. Limit
4. Allow aggregation
5. Scalar computed fields accessible to the role
Suppose there are two roles, `role1` gives access to the `address` column with row filter `P1` and `role2` gives access to both the `address` and the `phone` column with row filter `P2` and we create a new role `combined_roles` which combines `role1` and `role2`.
Let's say the following GraphQL query is queried with the `combined_roles` role.
```graphql
query {
employees {
address
phone
}
}
```
This will translate to the following SQL query:
```sql
select
(case when (P1 or P2) then address else null end) as address,
(case when P2 then phone else null end) as phone
from employee
where (P1 or P2)
```
The other parameters of the select permission will be combined in the following manner:
1. Limit - Minimum of the limits will be the limit of the inherited role
2. Allow aggregations - If any of the role allows aggregation, then the inherited role will allow aggregation
3. Scalar computed fields - same as table column fields, as in the above example
APIs for inherited roles:
----------------------
1. `add_inherited_role`
`add_inherited_role` is the [metadata API](https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/core/api-reference/index.html#schema-metadata-api) to create a new inherited role. It accepts two arguments
`role_name`: the name of the inherited role to be added (String)
`role_set`: list of roles that need to be combined (Array of Strings)
Example:
```json
{
"type": "add_inherited_role",
"args": {
"role_name":"combined_user",
"role_set":[
"user",
"user1"
]
}
}
```
After adding the inherited role, the inherited role can be used like single roles like earlier
Note:
An inherited role can only be created with non-inherited/singular roles.
2. `drop_inherited_role`
The `drop_inherited_role` API accepts the name of the inherited role and drops it from the metadata. It accepts a single argument:
`role_name`: name of the inherited role to be dropped
Example:
```json
{
"type": "drop_inherited_role",
"args": {
"role_name":"combined_user"
}
}
```
Metadata
---------
The derived roles metadata will be included under the `experimental_features` key while exporting the metadata.
```json
{
"experimental_features": {
"derived_roles": [
{
"role_name": "manager_is_employee_too",
"role_set": [
"employee",
"manager"
]
}
]
}
}
```
Scope
------
Only postgres queries and subscriptions are supported in this PR.
Important points:
-----------------
1. All columns exposed to an inherited role will be marked as `nullable`, this is done so that cell value nullification can be done.
TODOs
-------

This PR generalizes a bunch of metadata structures.
Most importantly, it changes `SourceCache` to hold existentially quantified values:
```
data BackendSourceInfo =
forall b. Backend b => BackendSourceInfo (SourceInfo b)
type SourceCache = HashMap SourceName BackendSourceInfo
```
This changes a *lot* of things throughout the code. For now, all code using the schema cache explicitly casts sources to Postgres, meaning that if any non-Postgres `SourceInfo` makes it to the cache, it'll be ignored.
That means that after this PR is submitted, we can split work between two different aspects:
- creating `SourceInfo` for other backends
- handling those other sources down the line

Fixes https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/issues/5704 by checking, for aggregate fields whether we are handling a numeric aggregation.
This PR also adds type information to `ColFld` such that we know the type of the field.
This is the second attempt. See #319 for a less invasive approach. @nicuveo suggested type information might be useful, and since it wasn't hard to add, I think this version is better as well.

This PR makes a bunch of schema generation code in Hasura.GraphQL.Schema backend-agnostic, by moving the backend-specific parts into a new BackendSchema type class. This way, the schema generation code can be reused for other backends, simply by implementing new instances of the BackendSchema type class.
This work is now in a state where the schema generators are sufficiently generic to accept the implementation of a new backend. That means that we can start exposing MS SQL schema. Execution is not implemented yet, of course.
The branch currently does not support computed fields or Relay. This is, in a sense, intentional: computed field support is normally baked into the schema generation (through the fieldSelection schema generator), and so this branch shows a programming technique that allows us to expose certain GraphQL schema depending on backend support. We can write support for computed fields and Relay at a later stage.
