Poem

hop hop, I nudge the dials just right,
two databases dance in matrix light.
I zip two arrays, then bound and leap—
dialects hum, their promises deep.
Policies check, errors rhyme,
counts now click in perfect time.
shipped at beta-five—carrot prime! 🥕✨

  • Impact: Could affect application performance on large datasets
  • Recommendation: Consider adding query complexity analysis and optimization hints

🟡 Moderate - Schema Caching

// packages/runtime/src/client/crud/validator.ts:46
private schemaCache = new Map<string, ZodType>();
  • Issue: Schema cache grows indefinitely without cleanup mechanism
  • Recommendation: Implement cache size limits and TTL

2. Potential Bugs

🟡 Moderate - Type Safety Gap

// packages/runtime/src/plugins/policy/functions.ts:12
export const check: ZModelFunction<any> = 
  • Issue: Use of any type reduces type safety
  • Impact: Could allow invalid arguments at compile time
  • Recommendation: Define more specific type constraints

🟡 Minor - Error Message Consistency

// packages/runtime/src/plugins/policy/errors.ts:30
message ?? `Operation rejected by policy${model ? ': ' + model : ''}`
  • Issue: Inconsistent error message formatting
  • Recommendation: Standardize error message templates

3. Code Quality Issues

🟡 Minor - Resource Management

// packages/runtime/src/client/crud/operations/base.ts:100+
// Long-lived client connections without explicit cleanup documentation
  • Recommendation: Add documentation for proper client lifecycle management

📊 Technical Analysis

Architecture Changes

  • ✅ Clean migration from file-based to plugin-based policy handling
  • ✅ Improved separation of dialect-specific logic
  • ✅ Enhanced type inference for computed fields

Database Compatibility

  • ✅ Solid SQLite and PostgreSQL support with dialect-specific optimizations

41-74: Ensure topological order is restricted to non-view models only.

87-99: Bytes equality can differ across providers (Buffer vs Uint8Array)

Postgres often returns Buffer while SQLite may return Uint8Array. toMatchObject(data) can fail due to instance mismatch. Match by type or content instead.

-            await db.foo.create({ data });
-            await expect(db.foo.findUnique({ where: { id: '1' } })).resolves.toMatchObject(data);
+            await db.foo.create({ data });
+            await expect(db.foo.findUnique({ where: { id: '1' } })).resolves.toMatchObject({
+                ...data,
+                // Buffer is a Uint8Array subclass; this keeps the assertion portable
+                Bytes: expect.any(Uint8Array),
+            });

Alternative: compare byte content explicitly after fetching and spreading to arrays.

Also applies to: 121-122

packages/runtime/test/policy/migrated/client-extensions.test.ts (1)

6-8: Ensure test clients are torn down to avoid resource leaks

  • Root cause: createPolicyTestClient delegates to createTestClient (packages/runtime/test/policy/utils.ts -> packages/runtime/test/utils.ts); createTestClient constructs and returns a ZenStackClient and opens dialect resources (better-sqlite3 / pg Pool) but does not schedule/perform client.$disconnect().
  • Evidence: many policy tests create a client via createPolicyTestClient and never call db.$disconnect() or add afterEach teardown (example: packages/runtime/test/policy/migrated/client-extensions.test.ts).
  • Action: add deterministic teardown — either have createTestClient/createPolicyTestClient register a Vitest afterEach that awaits client.$disconnect(), or update affected tests to call await db.$disconnect() (add afterEach).
packages/runtime/test/policy/crud/update.test.ts (1)

4-4: Close clients to avoid leaked connections

createPolicyTestClient uses a real Pool/dialect. None of the tests in this file call $disconnect(), which can hang CI (especially on PostgreSQL). Add finally { await db.$disconnect() } per test, or refactor to beforeEach/afterEach to manage lifecycle.

packages/language/src/validators/expression-validator.ts (1)

114-131: Relational ops with null may slip through

For <, <=, >, >=, comparing against null should be invalid. With the new checks, when a side is null, decl is falsy and no error is raised. Add an explicit guard.

Apply this diff near the start of the comparator case:

 case '>', '>=' , '<', '<=': {
+    if (isNullExpr(expr.left) || isNullExpr(expr.right)) {
+        accept('error', 'operand cannot be null for relational comparison', { node: expr });
+        break;
+    }
packages/runtime/src/client/crud/operations/update.ts (1)

34-45: Don’t swallow non-policy errors during read-back

Catching all errors can mask real DB/query bugs and misreport them as policy denials later. Only suppress policy errors; rethrow others.

Apply this diff:

-            try {
-                readBackResult = await this.readUnique(tx, this.model, {
+            try {
+                readBackResult = await this.readUnique(tx, this.model, {
                     select: args.select,
                     include: args.include,
                     omit: args.omit,
                     where: readFilter as WhereInput<Schema, GetModels<Schema>, false>,
-                });
-            } catch {
-                // commit the update even if read-back failed
-            }

2084-2099: getEntityIds should always return a Promise

Currently returns a Promise or a plain object depending on input, which harms type clarity. Make it async to stabilize the contract.

Apply this diff:

-    private getEntityIds(kysely: ToKysely<Schema>, model: GetModels<Schema>, uniqueFilter: any) {
+    private async getEntityIds(kysely: ToKysely<Schema>, model: GetModels<Schema>, uniqueFilter: any) {
         const idFields: string[] = requireIdFields(this.schema, model);
         if (
             // all id fields are provided
             idFields.every((f) => f in uniqueFilter && uniqueFilter[f] !== undefined) &&
             // no non-id filter exists
             Object.keys(uniqueFilter).every((k) => idFields.includes(k))
         ) {
-            return uniqueFilter;
+            return uniqueFilter;
         }
 
-        return this.readUnique(kysely, model, {
+        return this.readUnique(kysely, model, {
             where: uniqueFilter,
         });
     }
packages/runtime/src/plugins/policy/expression-transformer.ts (1)

115-118: Number literals are forced to Int; use Float for non-integers.

This can generate wrong predicates for floating literals.

Apply this diff:

-        return this.transformValue(
-            expr.value,
-            typeof expr.value === 'string' ? 'String' : typeof expr.value === 'boolean' ? 'Boolean' : 'Int',

  • Analyze test coverage and new tests
  • Check for security and performance issues
  • Provide comprehensive feedback

🔍 Review Summary

This is a substantial PR merging the development branch to main for ZenStack v3.0.0-beta.5. The changes primarily focus on policy engine improvements, validation enhancements, and comprehensive test coverage expansion.

Positive Aspects

1. Code Quality & Architecture

  • Well-structured monorepo with clear separation of concerns
  • Consistent use of TypeScript with proper type safety
  • Good use of design patterns (decorator pattern for expression handlers, strategy pattern for dialects)
  • Proper error handling with custom error classes and reason codes

2. Security

  • ✅ Strong access control implementation with the policy plugin
  • ✅ Proper input validation using Zod schemas with comprehensive error formatting
  • ✅ SQL injection protection through Kysely query builder
  • ✅ No hardcoded credentials or secrets found
  • ✅ Secure default configurations (operations denied by default unless explicitly allowed)

3. Test Coverage

  • ✅ Comprehensive test suite with 80+ test files updated
  • ✅ Covers both positive and negative test cases
  • ✅ Tests for both SQLite and PostgreSQL dialects
  • ✅ Policy engine tests covering CRUD operations, relations, and edge cases
  • ✅ E2E tests for real-world schema compatibility

⚠️ Areas of Concern

1. Performance Considerations

🔴 Critical - Policy Expression Complexity

// packages/runtime/src/plugins/policy/expression-transformer.ts:156+
// Complex nested transformations could impact query performance
  • Issue: Policy expressions with deep relation traversals may generate expensive SQL queries
  • Impact: Could affect application performance on large datasets
  • Recommendation: Consider adding query complexity analysis and optimization hints

🟡 Moderate - Schema Caching

// packages/runtime/src/client/crud/validator.ts:46
private schemaCache = new Map<string, ZodType>();
  • Issue: Schema cache grows indefinitely without cleanup mechanism
  • Recommendation: Implement cache size limits and TTL

2. Potential Bugs

🟡 Moderate - Type Safety Gap

// packages/runtime/src/plugins/policy/functions.ts:12
export const check: ZModelFunction<any> = 
  • Issue: Use of any type reduces type safety
  • Impact: Could allow invalid arguments at compile time
  • Recommendation: Define more specific type constraints

🟡 Minor - Error Message Consistency

// packages/runtime/src/plugins/policy/errors.ts:30
message ?? `Operation rejected by policy${model ? ': ' + model : ''}`
  • Issue: Inconsistent error message formatting
  • Recommendation: Standardize error message templates

3. Code Quality Issues

🟡 Minor - Resource Management

// packages/runtime/src/client/crud/operations/base.ts:100+
// Long-lived client connections without explicit cleanup documentation
  • Recommendation: Add documentation for proper client lifecycle management
