The main aim of the PR is:
1. To set up a module structure for 'remote-schemas' package.
2. Move parts by the remote schema codebase into the new module structure to validate it.
## Notes to the reviewer
Why a PR with large-ish diff?
1. We've been making progress on the MM project but we don't yet know long it is going to take us to get to the first milestone. To understand this better, we need to figure out the unknowns as soon as possible. Hence I've taken a stab at the first two items in the [end-state](https://gist.github.com/0x777/ca2bdc4284d21c3eec153b51dea255c9) document to figure out the unknowns. Unsurprisingly, there are a bunch of issues that we haven't discussed earlier. These are documented in the 'open questions' section.
1. The diff is large but that is only code moved around and I've added a section that documents how things are moved. In addition, there are fair number of PR comments to help with the review process.
## Changes in the PR
### Module structure
Sets up the module structure as follows:
```
Hasura/
RemoteSchema/
Metadata/
Types.hs
SchemaCache/
Types.hs
Permission.hs
RemoteRelationship.hs
Build.hs
MetadataAPI/
Types.hs
Execute.hs
```
### 1. Types representing metadata are moved
Types that capture metadata information (currently scattered across several RQL modules) are moved into `Hasura.RemoteSchema.Metadata.Types`.
- This new module only depends on very 'core' modules such as
`Hasura.Session` for the notion of roles and `Hasura.Incremental` for `Cacheable` typeclass.
- The requirement on database modules is avoided by generalizing the remote schemas metadata to accept an arbitrary 'r' for a remote relationship
definition.
### 2. SchemaCache related types and build logic have been moved
Types that represent remote schemas information in SchemaCache are moved into `Hasura.RemoteSchema.SchemaCache.Types`.
Similar to `H.RS.Metadata.Types`, this module depends on 'core' modules except for `Hasura.GraphQL.Parser.Variable`. It has something to do with remote relationships but I haven't spent time looking into it. The validation of 'remote relationships to remote schema' is also something that needs to be looked at.
Rips out the logic that builds remote schema's SchemaCache information from the monolithic `buildSchemaCacheRule` and moves it into `Hasura.RemoteSchema.SchemaCache.Build`. Further, the `.SchemaCache.Permission` and `.SchemaCache.RemoteRelationship` have been created from existing modules that capture schema cache building logic for those two components.
This was a fair amount of work. On main, currently remote schema's SchemaCache information is built in two phases - in the first phase, 'permissions' and 'remote relationships' are ignored and in the second phase they are filled in.
While remote relationships can only be resolved after partially resolving sources and other remote schemas, the same isn't true for permissions. Further, most of the work that is done to resolve remote relationships can be moved to the first phase so that the second phase can be a very simple traversal.
This is the approach that was taken - resolve permissions and as much as remote relationships information in the first phase.
### 3. Metadata APIs related types and build logic have been moved
The types that represent remote schema related metadata APIs and the execution logic have been moved to `Hasura.RemoteSchema.MetadataAPI.Types` and `.Execute` modules respectively.
## Open questions:
1. `Hasura.RemoteSchema.Metadata.Types` is so called because I was hoping that all of the metadata related APIs of remote schema can be brought in at `Hasura.RemoteSchema.Metadata.API`. However, as metadata APIs depended on functions from `SchemaCache` module (see [1](ceba6d6226/server/src-lib/Hasura/RQL/DDL/RemoteSchema.hs (L55)) and [2](ceba6d6226/server/src-lib/Hasura/RQL/DDL/RemoteSchema.hs (L91)), it made more sense to create a separate top-level module for `MetadataAPI`s.
Maybe we can just have `Hasura.RemoteSchema.Metadata` and get rid of the extra nesting or have `Hasura.RemoteSchema.Metadata.{Core,Permission,RemoteRelationship}` if we want to break them down further.
1. `buildRemoteSchemas` in `H.RS.SchemaCache.Build` has the following type:
```haskell
buildRemoteSchemas ::
( ArrowChoice arr,
Inc.ArrowDistribute arr,
ArrowWriter (Seq CollectedInfo) arr,
Inc.ArrowCache m arr,
MonadIO m,
HasHttpManagerM m,
Inc.Cacheable remoteRelationshipDefinition,
ToJSON remoteRelationshipDefinition,
MonadError QErr m
) =>
Env.Environment ->
( (Inc.Dependency (HashMap RemoteSchemaName Inc.InvalidationKey), OrderedRoles),
[RemoteSchemaMetadataG remoteRelationshipDefinition]
)
`arr` HashMap RemoteSchemaName (PartiallyResolvedRemoteSchemaCtxG remoteRelationshipDefinition, MetadataObject)
```
Note the dependence on `CollectedInfo` which is defined as
```haskell
data CollectedInfo
= CIInconsistency InconsistentMetadata
| CIDependency
MetadataObject
-- ^ for error reporting on missing dependencies
SchemaObjId
SchemaDependency
deriving (Eq)
```
this pretty much means that remote schemas is dependent on types from databases, actions, ....
How do we fix this? Maybe introduce a typeclass such as `ArrowCollectRemoteSchemaDependencies` which is defined in `Hasura.RemoteSchema` and then implemented in graphql-engine?
1. The dependency on `buildSchemaCacheFor` in `.MetadataAPI.Execute` which has the following signature:
```haskell
buildSchemaCacheFor ::
(QErrM m, CacheRWM m, MetadataM m) =>
MetadataObjId ->
MetadataModifier ->
```
This can be easily resolved if we restrict what the metadata APIs are allowed to do. Currently, they operate in an unfettered access to modify SchemaCache (the `CacheRWM` constraint):
```haskell
runAddRemoteSchema ::
( QErrM m,
CacheRWM m,
MonadIO m,
HasHttpManagerM m,
MetadataM m,
Tracing.MonadTrace m
) =>
Env.Environment ->
AddRemoteSchemaQuery ->
m EncJSON
```
This should instead be changed to restrict remote schema APIs to only modify remote schema metadata (but has access to the remote schemas part of the schema cache), this dependency is completely removed.
```haskell
runAddRemoteSchema ::
( QErrM m,
MonadIO m,
HasHttpManagerM m,
MonadReader RemoteSchemasSchemaCache m,
MonadState RemoteSchemaMetadata m,
Tracing.MonadTrace m
) =>
Env.Environment ->
AddRemoteSchemaQuery ->
m RemoteSchemeMetadataObjId
```
The idea is that the core graphql-engine would call these functions and then call
`buildSchemaCacheFor`.

I am working on https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/issues/8807, and wanted to write a Haskell integration test case to reproduce it.
We have Python integration tests somewhat covering this behavior in *test_inconsistent_meta.py*, but no Haskell tests, so I thought I'd shore up the coverage here by adding a few test cases for working behavior.

This abstracts `CircularT`'s test cases to work against "any" memoizer, and then runs them against `MemoizeT` as well.
Surprisingly (or not), this works without issue; `MemoizeT` passes all tests with a couple of extra instances.

This PR expands the OpenAPI specification generated for metadata to include separate definitions for `SourceMetadata` for each native database type, and for DataConnector.
For the most part the changes add `HasCodec` implementations, and don't modify existing code otherwise.
The generated OpenAPI spec can be used to generate TypeScript definitions that distinguish different source metadata types based on the value of the `kind` properly. There is a problem: because the specified `kind` value for a data connector source is any string, when TypeScript gets a source with a `kind` value of, say, `"postgres"`, it cannot unambiguously determine whether the source is postgres, or a data connector. For example,
```ts
function consumeSourceMetadata(source: SourceMetadata) {
if (source.kind === "postgres" || source.kind === "pg") {
// At this point TypeScript infers that `source` is either an instance
// of `PostgresSourceMetadata`, or `DataconnectorSourceMetadata`. It
// can't narrow further.
source
}
if (source.kind === "something else") {
// TypeScript infers that this `source` must be an instance of
// `DataconnectorSourceMetadata` because `source.kind` does not match
// any of the other options.
source
}
}
```
The simplest way I can think of to fix this would be to add a boolean property to the `SourceMetadata` type along the lines of `isNative` or `isDataConnector`. This could be a field that only exists in serialized data, like the metadata version field. The combination of one of the native database names for `kind`, and a true value for `isNative` would be enough for TypeScript to unambiguously distinguish the source kinds.
But note that in the current state TypeScript is able to reference the short `"pg"` name correctly!
~~Tests are not passing yet due to some discrepancies in DTO serialization vs existing Metadata serialization. I'm working on that.~~
The placeholders that I used for table and function metadata are not compatible with the ordered JSON serialization in use. I think the best solution is to write compatible codecs for those types in another PR. For now I have disabled some DTO tests for this PR.
Here are the generated [OpenAPI spec](https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-mono/files/9397333/openapi.tar.gz) based on these changes, and the generated [TypeScript client code](https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-mono/files/9397339/client-typescript.tar.gz) based on that spec.

GitOrigin-RevId: e1446191c6c832879db04f129daa397a3be03f62
The module `Hasura.SQL.AnyBackend` was introduced (in #751) to centralize the logic for case-switching behavior that depends on the particular flavor of relational DB backend (Postgres vs MSSQL vs BigQuery vs MySQL vs DataConnectors). This allows us to write a bunch of code in a backend-agnostic way, even if runtime behavior does depend on the chosen backend. At the same time, it allows us to write backend-specific code without having to care (too much) about the existence of other backends.
In #851 this module was rewritten to use Template Haskell.
I've heard that one of the reasons for the use of TH was that this would make it easier to keep backends out of the compilation product entirely. This would allow customers, especially on OSS, to benefit from simpler software licensing.
However:
1. This conditional compilation never materialized.
2. It's not clear whether writing this particular module based on TH would be sufficient for conditional compilation. And in any case, it can be done using CPP pragmas as well.
3. The TH code is extraordinarily complex. Since its introduction, it has been documented extraordinarily well, but it's still very difficult to maintain and/or refactor, due to its non-idiomatic nature.
4. Hasura's company objectives are now Cloud-oriented, so that software licensing issues work differently, and in particular, do not depend on what's part of the compilation product.
So this PR reverts on #851 by spelling out the code generated by TH. This is a net-negative diff size. IOW we used to generate less code than the size of the code doing the generating. This makes the code readable and maintainable.
The generated code has been modified in one way, which I'll now describe.
In the scenario that support for a new backend is introduced, a constructor is added to the `BackendType` type. This would then cause `liftTag` to be partial, thus raising a compiler warning. Resolving this requires adding corresponding constructors to the `BackendTag` and `AnyBackend` types. This would then require amending **almost** all other methods.
The exceptions are `composeAnyBackend` and `unpackAnyBackend`. These methods test whether two values are compatible, i.e. belong to the same backend. Both have a default case that in one way or another ignores the input values. Using TH here ensures that all values that belong together are caught. But after spelling out the TH, the presence of the default case means that no compiler warning is thrown for a missing match of matching values. So in the default case, we now do an explicit check for equality. If there _is_ an equality, that means that there is a missing `case`. So this is reported as an `error` (which is very crude, but it should be).

It's about time.
To do this I had to check a few more boxes.
* I copied the flags from `graphql-engine.cabal` to the libraries in `server/lib`.
* I moved `Cacheable` instances of schema parser types beside the typeclass declaration.
* I removed imports of `Hasura.Prelude` from the tests, and rewrote them accordingly.
* I copied the `TestMonad` parse monad into `server/src-test/Hasura/GraphQL/Schema/RemoteTest.hs`, which was using it. I think this could be done with the real thing, but I tried replacing it with constraints and it messed with my head somewhat.

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.

A following PR moves serialization-related code out `Hasura.RQL.Types.Metadata` into a specialized submodule. To avoid circular dependencies a number of other definitions also need to be moved into their own submodule. This PR does that extra moving first so that we can keep each PR as small, and as easy to review as possible.
There are a lot of changed lines; but it's all moving code from one module to another.

In the process of decoupling the schema parsers from the GraphQL Engine, we need to remove dependencies on `Hasura.Base.Error`.
First of all, we have avoided using `QErr` in schema parsers code, instead returning a more appropriate data type which can be converted to a `Hasura.Base.Error.QErr` later.
Secondly, we create a new `ParseErrorCode` type to represent parse failure types, which are then converted to a `Hasura.Base.Error.Code` later.

This introduces an `ErrorMessage` newtype which wraps `Text` in a manner which is designed to be easy to construct, and difficult to deconstruct.
It provides functionality similar to `Data.Text.Extended`, but designed _only_ for error messages. Error messages are constructed through `fromString`, concatenation, or the `toErrorValue` function, which is designed to be overridden for all meaningful domain types that might show up in an error message. Notably, there are not and should never be instances of `ToErrorValue` for `String`, `Text`, `Int`, etc. This is so that we correctly represent the value in a way that is specific to its type. For example, all `Name` values (from the _graphql-parser-hs_ library) are single-quoted now; no exceptions.
I have mostly had to add `instance ToErrorValue` for various backend types (and also add newtypes where necessary). Some of these are not strictly necessary for this changeset, as I had bigger aspirations when I started. These aspirations have been tempered by trying and failing twice.
As such, in this changeset, I have started by introducing this type to the `parseError` and `parseErrorWith` functions. In the future, I would like to extend this to the `QErr` record and the various `throwError` functions, but this is a much larger task and should probably be done in stages.
For now, `toErrorMessage` and `fromErrorMessage` are provided for conversion to and from `Text`, but the intent is to stop exporting these once all error messages are converted to the new type.

Earlier, if the `select` root field had a custom root field set, the same custom root field was then used for the streaming subscription root field as well. This leads to duplicate root fields being generated in the `subscription_root`.
This PR fixes that. It provides a way to customize the streaming subscription root field and not use the `select` root field's custom root field name for the streaming subscription root field.

We only use these `Show` instances in error messages (where we call
`show` explicitly anyway) and test cases (in which Hspec requires `Show
a` for any `a` in an assertion).
This removes the instance in favor of a custom `showQErr` function
(which serializes the error to JSON). It is then used in certain error
message production which previously called `show` on a `QErr`.
There are two places where we serialize a QErr and then construct a new
QErr from the resulting string. Instead, we modify the existing QErr to
add extra information.
An orphan `Show QErr` instance is retained for tests so that we can have
nice test failure messages.
This is preparation for future changes in which the error message within
`QErr` will not be exposed directly, and therefore will not have a
`Show` instance. That said, it feels like a sensible kind of cleanup
anyway.

### Description
This PR rewrites OpenAPI to be more idiomatic. Some noteworthy changes:
- we accumulate all required information during the Analyze phase, to avoid having to do a single lookup in the schema cache during the OpenAPI generation phase (we now only need the schema cache as input to run the analysis)
- we no longer build intermediary endpoint information and aggregate it, we directly build the the `PathItem` for each endpoint; additionally, that means we no longer have to assume that different methods have the same metadata
- we no longer have to first declare types, then craft references: we do everything in one step
- we now properly deal with nullability by treating "typeName" and "typeName!" as different
- we add a bunch of additional fields in the generated "schema", such as title
- we do now support enum values in both input and output positions
- checking whether the request body is required is now performed on the fly rather than by introspecting the generated schema
- the methods in the file are sorted by topic
### Controversial point
However, this PR creates some additional complexity, that we might not want to keep. The main complexity is _knot-tying_: to avoid lookups when generating the OpenAPI, it builds an actual graph of input types, which means that we need something similar to (but simpler than) `MonadSchema`, to avoid infinite recursions when analyzing the input types of a query. To do this, this PR introduces `CircularT`, a lesser `SchemaT` that aims at avoiding ever having to reinvent this particular wheel ever again.
### Remaining work
- [x] fix existing tests (they are all failing due to some of the schema changes)
- [ ] add tests to cover the new features:
- [x] tests for `CircularT`
- [ ] tests for enums in output schemas
- [x] extract / document `CircularT` if we wish to keep it
- [x] add more comments to `OpenAPI`
- [x] have a second look at `buildVariableSchema`
- [x] fix all missing diagnostics in `Analyze`
- [x] add a Changelog entry?

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.

This implements an initial set of DTO types that represent serialized metadata. These new types come with codecs using autodocodec which are used to derive both JSON serialization, and OpenAPI documentation. This ensures that we can automatically generate API documentation that is guaranteed to match JSON produced by the server.
For the moment the new types are not used for anything except to generate an early version of an OpenAPI document. Because this is early work the DTO types for each metadata format version list top-level properties only with placeholders for the types of each top-level property. This early iteration demonstrates using a sum type in Haskell that maps to a tagged union in OpenAPI (using the `version` field value as a tag).
This work is experimental and incomplete! Please do not incorporate the generated OpenAPI documentation into essential workflows at this time.
