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.

### Description
A trivial PR, extracted out of #4936, that removes remote schema permissions from the schema context, as they are only ever used at the top level: whether or not we need to use remote schema permissions is not something that impacts _how_ we build the schema, but whether some parts of the schema should be built at all, and therefore doesn't need to be accessible throughout the build process.

This moves `MkTypename` and `NamingCase` into their own modules, with the intent of reducing the scope of the schema parsers code, and trying to reduce imports of large modules when small ones will do.

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.

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.

GitOrigin-RevId: 73aa6a5a2833ee41d29b71fcd0a72ed19822ca73
## 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
The main goal of this PR is, as stated, to remove the circular dependency in the schema building code. This cycle arises from the existence of remote relationships: when we build the schema for a source A, a remote relationship might force us to jump to the schema of a source B, or some remote schema. As a result, we end up having to do a dispatch from a "leaf" of the schema, similar to the one done at the root. In turn, this forces us to carry along in the schema a lot of information required for that dispatch, AND it forces us to import the instances in scope, creating an import loop.
As discussed in #4489, this PR implements the "dependency injection" solution: we pass to the schema a function to call to do the dispatch, and to get a generated field for a remote relationship. That way, this function can be chosen at the root level, and the leaves need not be aware of the overall context.
This PR grew a bit bigger than that, however; in an attempt to try and remove the `SourceCache` from the schema altogether, it changed a lot of functions across the schema building code, to thread along the `SourceInfo b` of the source being built. This avoids having to do cache lookups within a given source. A few cases remain, such as relay, that we might try to tackle in a subsequent PR.

In hasura/graphql-engine@7547786b2b, we made the logic that does a specific correctness check on the GraphQL schema runnable _post_-startup. However, in order to error out as early as possible, we explicitly do it on startup anyway.
Unfortunately a few instances of that logic were forgotten: until now we only executed it for non-relay authenticated GraphQL schemas.
This re-implements the "conflicting types" check for both the Relay schema, and for the unauthenticated schemas.
One key point where it does _not_ re-implement it is in `buildFullestDBSchema`, which is a very sketchy method that builds a GraphQL schema that is _only_ used internally in order to mark parts of the schema as inconsistent. There are two reasons I do not add the check here:
- This logic should get replaced entirely - see hasura/graphql-engine-mono#3882.
- Having conflicting types in `buildFullestDBSchema` does not imply there is actually a user-facing issue. The only "conflicting types" which are problematic are the ones which result in illegal _user-facing_ GraphQL schemas. `buildFullestDBSchema` is _never_ user-facing.

GitOrigin-RevId: 49517dcbf51bcd97a3890514ec5e47499f770f32
### Motivation
#2338 introduced a way to validate REST queries against the metadata after a change, to properly report any inconsistency that would emerge from a change in the underlying structure of our schema. However, the way this was done was quite complex and error-prone. Namely: we would use the generated schema parsers to statically execute an introspection query, similar to the one we use for remote schemas, then parse the resulting bytestring as it were coming from a remote schema.
This led to several issues: the code was using remote schema primitives, and was associated with remote schema code, despite being unrelated, which led to absurd situations like creating fake `Variable`s whose type was also their name. A lot of the code had to deal with the fact that we might fail to re-parse our own schema. Additionally, some of it was dead code, that for some reason GHC did not warn about? But more fundamentally, this architecture decision creates a dependency between unrelated pieces of the engine: modifying the internal processing of root fields or the introspection of remote schemas now risks impacting the unrelated `OpenAPI` feature.
### Description
This PR decouples that process from the remote schema introspection logic and from the execution engine by making `Analyse` and `OpenAPI` work on the generic `G.SchemaIntrospection` instead. To accomplish this, it:
- adds `GraphQL.Parser.Schema.Convert`, to convert from our "live" schema back to a flat `SchemaIntrospection`
- persists in the schema cache the `admin` introspection generated when building the schema, and uses it both for validation and for generating the `OpenAPI`.
### Known issues and limitations
This adds a bit of memory pressure to the engine, as we persist the entire schema in the schema cache. This might be acceptable in the short-term, but we have several potential ideas going forward should this be a problem:
- cache the result of `Analyze`: when it becomes possible to build the `OpenAPI` purely with the result of `Analyze` without any additional schema information, then we could cache that instead, reducing the footprint
- caching the `OpenAPI`: if it doesn't need to change every time the endpoint is queried, then it should be possible to cache the entire `OpenAPI` object instead of the schema
- cache a copy of the `FieldParsers` used to generate the schema: as those are persisted through the GraphQL `Context`, and are the only input required to generate the `Schema`, making them accessible in the schema cache would allow us to have the exact same feature with no additional memory cost, at the price of a slightly slower and more complicated process (need to rebuild the `Schema` every time we query the OpenAPI endpoint)
- cache nothing at all, and rebuild the admin schema from scratch every time.

### Description
This PR extends the `RemoteSchema` parsers to also include remote relationships. This include a significant refactoring of the top level schema building blocks, since remote schemas can no longer be built in isolation: they have to be built within the same run of `MonadSchema` as the sources. It is originally taken from the changes in #3069 and was slightly adapted.
I highly recommend turning OFF whitespace in the Github UI for `Schema.hs`, since I've adjusted the indentation of two large functions.
### Warning
Given the lack of a feature flag, this PR technically **enables the feature**. While the metadata API is not plugged in, a savvy user could use `replace_metadata` to set a metadata that contains remote joins from remote schemas, and they would be enabled. Is this acceptable?

GitOrigin-RevId: 40985a7d86da97a311bd480f9a57cc18c350c2a8
### 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.

GitOrigin-RevId: 33fc317731aace71f82ad158a1951ea93350d6cc
In order to respond to GraphQL queries that make use of the introspection fields `__type` or `__schema`, we need two things:
- an overview of the relevant GraphQL type information, stored in a `Schema` object, and
- to have included the `__type` and `__schema` fields in the `query_root` that we generate.
It used to be necessary to do the above items in that order, since the `__type` and `__schema` fields (i.e. the respective `FieldParser`s) were generated _from_ a `Schema` object.
Thanks to recent refactorings in `Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.Introspect` (see hasura/graphql-engine-mono#2835 or hasura/graphql-engine@5760d9289c), the introspection fields _themselves_ are now `Schema`-agnostic, and simply return a function that takes a `Schema` object after parsing. For instance, the type of `schema`, corresponding to the `__schema` field, has literally changed as follows:
```diff
-schema :: MonadParse n => Schema -> FieldParser n ( J.Value)
+schema :: MonadParse n => FieldParser n (Schema -> J.Value)
```
This means that the introspection fields can be included in the GraphQL schema *before* we have generated a `Schema` object. In particular, rather than the current architecture of generating `Schema` at startup time for every role, we can instead generate `Schema` ad-hoc at query parsing time, only for those queries that make use of the introspection fields. This avoids us storing a `Schema` for every role for the lifetime of the server.
However: this introduces a functional change, as the code that generates the `Schema` object, and in particular the `accumulateTypeDefinitions` method, also does certain correctness checks, to prevent exposing a spec-incompliant GraphQL schema. If these correctness checks are being done at parsing time rather than startup time, then we catch certain errors only later on. For this reason, this PR adds an explicit run of this type accumulation at startup time. For efficiency reasons, and since this correctness check is not essential for correct operation of HGE, this is done for the admin role only.

GitOrigin-RevId: 23701c548b785929b28667025436b6ce60bfe1cd
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@5168b99e46 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.

### Description
The GraphQL spec has to conflicting requirements:
1. an object must contain at least one field: the schema may not contain empty objects
2. the _query_root_ must always be present
Given _1_, the schema generation code removes from the schema all fields that would result in empty objects, such as a table for which a user does not have select permissions. But, as a result, our code also potentially removes _query_root_ if it is empty, breaking _2_.
This PR introduces a dummy "placeholder" field in the query root if it's empty, to ensure we never remove it from the schema.

this pr modifies the representation chosen for introspection parsers, "pushing down" the `Schema` input so it is not required to build the parser anymore. instead, the value produced when the parser is evaluated becomes a function that consumes a schema:
```diff
-schema :: MonadParse n => Schema -> FieldParser n ( J.Value)
+schema :: MonadParse n => FieldParser n (Schema -> J.Value)
```
this addresses points (1) and (2) of #2833 and is intended to make #2799 easier: we will need to enforce permissions when generating introspection objects, hiding fields the user is not allowed to see, so if we can pass the schema _later_, we can build this parser once, evaluate it once to (morally) obtain a function `Schema -> Value`, and simply run that single `Schema -> Value` function on different role-based schemas.
(we really need some terminology to be fixed here: "parser" is already not the best name, and then we have parser vs value/function "returned" by parser vs...)
however, we have immediate benefits: we no longer _need_ a `Schema` object to build the introspection parsers! this means we can remove the bogus "degenerate case" schema that is currently constructed in `emptyIntrospection` (and indeed we remove that binding altogether).

GraphQL types can refer to each other in a circular way. The PDV framework used to use values of type `Unique` to recognize two fragments of GraphQL schema as being the same instance. Internally, this is based on `Data.Unique` from the `base` package, which simply increases a counter on every creation of a `Unique` object.
**NB**: The `Unique` values are _not_ used for knot tying the schema combinators themselves (i.e. `Parser`s). The knot tying for `Parser`s is purely based on keys provided to `memoizeOn`. The `Unique` values are _only_ used to recognize two pieces of GraphQL _schema_ as being identical. Originally, the idea was that this would help us with a perfectly correct identification of GraphQL types. But this fully correct equality checking of GraphQL types was never implemented, and does not seem to be necessary to prevent bugs.
Specifically, these `Unique` values are stored as part of `data Definition a`, which specifies a part of our internal abstract syntax tree for the GraphQL types that we expose. The `Unique` values get initialized by the `SchemaT` effect.
In #2894 and #2895, we are experimenting with how (parts of) the GraphQL types can be hidden behind certain permission predicates. This would allow a single GraphQL schema in memory to serve all roles, implementing #2711. The permission predicates get evaluated at query parsing time when we know what role is doing a certain request, thus outputting the correct GraphQL types for that role.
If the approach of #2895 is followed, then the `Definition` objects, and thus the `Unique` values, would be hidden behind the permission predicates. Since the permission predicates are evaluated only after the schema is already supposed to be built, this means that the permission predicates would prevent us from initializing the `Unique` values, rendering them useless.
The simplest remedy to this is to remove our usage of `Unique` altogether from the GraphQL schema and schema combinators. It doesn't serve a functional purpose, doesn't prevent bugs, and requires extra bookkeeping.

Source typename customization (hasura/graphql-engine@aac64f2c81) introduced a mechanism to change certain names in the GraphQL schema that is exposed. In particular it allows last-minute modification of:
1. the names of some types, and
2. the names of some root fields.
The above two items are assigned distinct customization algorithms, and at times both algorithms are in scope. So a need to distinguish them is needed.
In the original design, this was addressed by introducing a newtype wrapper `Typename` around GraphQL `Name`s, dedicated to the names of types. However, in the majority of the codebase, type names are also represented by `Name`. For this reason, it was unavoidable to allow for easy conversion. This was supported by a `HasName Typename` instance, as well as by publishing the constructors of `Typename`.
This means that the type safety that newtypes can add is lost. In particular, it is now very easy to confuse type name customization with root field name customization.
This refactors the above design by instead introducing newtypes around the customization operations:
```haskell
newtype MkTypename = MkTypename {runMkTypename :: Name -> Name}
deriving (Semigroup, Monoid) via (Endo Name)
newtype MkRootFieldName = MkRootFieldName {runMkRootFieldName :: Name -> Name}
deriving (Semigroup, Monoid) via (Endo Name)
```
The `Monoid` instance allows easy composition of customization operations, piggybacking off of the type of `Endo`maps.
This design allows safe co-existence of the two customization algorithms, while avoiding the syntactic overhead of packing and unpacking newtypes.
