quack: HAVING over the K sinks, with a NULL-preserving grouped SUM

[AdaWorldAPI]

Stacked on AdaWorldAPI/ndarray#321. CI finds ndarray through a path dependency on a sibling checkout, so this PR stays red until #321 merges.

What

GROUP BY … HAVING now runs on quack as T0 finalization. There is no new primitive and no population pass.

• lower_group_having builds one Terminal::GroupReduce program per aggregate. All of them use the same filter and the same key.
• GroupHavingPlan::finish is an O(K) pass over the K-slot sinks. It returns {present, keep}, two K-bit group masks. No O(N) mask crosses a program boundary.
• A group is kept when two things hold: at least one selected row reached it, and every HAVING comparison is true.

Empty groups: a reserved code inside, a mask outside

Inside the fold. A slot that still holds its fold's seed is empty (GroupFold::is_empty_slot).

fold	seed	empty group possible
Count	0	no — a zero count is a real answer
MinI32	i64::MAX	yes
MaxI32	i64::MIN	yes
SumSymI32 (new)	SYM_EMPTY_I64 = i64::MIN	yes

SumSymI32 is the symmetric-range SUM from ndarray #321's _sym family:

• Real sums live in ±(2⁶³−1), and i64::MIN is reserved to mean "empty". This is the −7..+7 + NaN reading of a 4-bit value, applied to i64.
• The reservation is opt-in by name. Every other sum keeps the full two's-complement range. That includes Terminal::GroupSumI32, where an empty group reads as 0 and which stays unchanged.
• The reserved code costs one row of headroom, and only for this fold: GROUP_SUM_SYM_MAX_ROWS = 2^32 − 1, because exactly 2³² rows of i32::MIN sum to i64::MIN.

At the boundary. normalize_group_sink turns a raw sink into a K-bit presence mask and sets absent groups' slots to 0 in place.

• finish runs it over every sink, so no reserved code reaches a consumer that assumes full range. Such a consumer would otherwise sum, sort or negate it, and -i64::MIN overflows.
• Group-level NULL now has the same shape as row NULL: a mask beside the values.
• The same approach works for a future fold whose values use the full range and leave nothing to reserve.

Tests

Five new DuckDB cases, 34 in total. oracle.py regenerated them, and only the five new lines moved:

• HAVING on the selected aggregate.
• HAVING on a different aggregate than the one selected.
• fk-keyed with an AND of two conditions.
• Two cases over a filter that leaves three groups empty: HAVING COUNT(*) >= 0, and HAVING SUM(amount) < 10000 with the SUM sink first.

The harness now sends plain GROUP BY MIN/MAX through the boundary too. It also asserts that no fold's marker survives finish.

Unit tests:

• The normalizer, including a word-boundary group.
• finish with the SUM sink second, so only the loop over the remaining sinks can clear its markers.
• mask-risc: SumSymI32 in the oracle differential that covers every key address and every fold, plus a test that a cancelling group is present and an unreached group is empty.

Disable runs, each red and then restored:

what was disabled	what failed
the reached check	both sparse DuckDB cases
emptiness for folds other than COUNT	the SUM-first sparse case
the executor using the full-range kernel for SumSymI32	both mask-risc differentials
no zeroing in the normalizer	the harness leak assertion and the normalizer unit test
normalizing only the first sink	the multi-sink unit test

clippy -D warnings and fmt are clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added support for NULL-preserving symmetric integer sums, distinguishing empty groups from groups whose sum is zero.
  • Added support for applying HAVING conditions to grouped aggregate results, including sparse and foreign-key groups.
  • Added validation for aggregate row limits and malformed HAVING plans.

• Bug Fixes

  • Empty non-count groups are now represented consistently as NULL rather than being confused with aggregate seed values.
  • Invalid grouping configurations and HAVING plans now fail safely without modifying result outputs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a NULL-preserving symmetric integer group-sum fold and validates grouped HAVING plans. Updates the differential harness to use group-presence masks and adds HAVING cases for aggregate predicates, sparse groups, and foreign-key grouping.

Changes

Grouped Reduction and HAVING

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Symmetric group-sum fold crates/lance-graph-mask-risc/src/{ir.rs,lib.rs,exec.rs,reference.rs}, crates/lance-graph-mask-risc/tests/foreign.rs, .claude/board/TECH_DEBT.md, .claude/board/entries/2026-09-23-quack-having-sym-sum-presence-mask.md	Adds SumSymI32 with a 2^32 − 1 row limit and a seed that distinguishes empty groups from groups summing to zero. Execution and reference handling cover local and foreign keys. Tests compare symmetric sums with coalesced and full-range sums.
HAVING plan validation crates/lance-graph-quack/src/lib.rs, .claude/board/entries/2026-09-23-quack-having-sym-sum-presence-mask.md	Rejects zero-group lowering. GroupHavingPlan::finish returns MalformedPlan for empty programs, fold-count mismatches, and invalid HAVING indexes before validating or modifying sinks.
HAVING differential validation crates/lance-graph-quack/tests/duckdb_differential.rs, crates/lance-graph-quack/tests/duckdb/oracle.py, .claude/board/entries/2026-09-23-quack-having-sym-sum-presence-mask.md, .claude/board/entries/README.md	The differential harness uses normalized presence masks to encode empty non-count groups as NULL. Added cases exercise aggregate predicates, sparse groups, and foreign-key groups. The design record and index are updated.

[AdaWorldAPI]

cats (and every other job that compiles lance-graph-mask-risc) fails with E0432: unresolved imports ndarray::simd::masked_group_sum_seeded_i32, masked_group_sum_seeded_i32_via.

These jobs build against ndarray master, and the two kernels land in AdaWorldAPI/ndarray#321, which this PR is stacked on. The code can't be ported here because the kernels belong in ndarray, not lance-graph.

Locally, with the ndarray branch checked out alongside, both crates' tests pass and clippy -D warnings is clean.

• fix: 10 pre-existing test failures (cosine_distance, arigraph orchestration, parse_triplets) #321's CI: 16 checks passed, 3 were still running at last check, and none have failed.
• Once fix: 10 pre-existing test failures (cosine_distance, arigraph orchestration, parse_triplets) #321 merges, I'll re-run this PR's failed jobs.

- Around line 76-147: The 2026-09-23 “W-C HAVING landed” decision replaces
existing board content; update the entry so the prior material, including the
ndarray `#320` dependency, remains intact and the new decision is added as a
separate top entry with its ndarray `#321` dependency.

In `@crates/lance-graph-quack/src/lib.rs`:
- Around line 1404-1427: Validate all plan shape invariants at the start of
GroupHavingPlan::finish, before normalizing any sinks: reject empty sinks,
require folds.len() to equal sinks.len(), and reject every having aggregation
index outside the sink range by returning HavingFinishError. Preserve the
existing sink count and length checks, and use an appropriate existing or
dedicated error variant for invalid having indices.
- Around line 1318-1321: Update lower_group_having to reject groups == 0 before
emitting any GroupReduce programs, returning an appropriate lowering error so
callers cannot receive a plan that fails validation.
