Deleting your own user succeeded, and logged you out doing it: local_sessions.user_id is ON DELETE CASCADE, so the delete took the caller's own live session with it. Nothing refused this. The last-owner guard is the only thing in the path, and it passes cleanly as soon as a second owner exists -- which is exactly the state you are in just after creating one. The way back in was then whatever other account happened to exist, and -seed-admin could not help: it skipped whenever *any* local user was present, so the command documented as the way to create an administrator refused precisely when there was no usable one, because some other account still existed. It now asks whether the admin account itself is missing, which is what its own help text always claimed, and what makes it useful as recovery rather than only as first-run bootstrap. TestCanDeleteAnOwnerWhenAnotherRemains signed in as admin1 and deleted admin1, asserting 204 -- it encoded the lockout as intended behaviour. It now deletes the other owner, which is what it meant to cover, and a new test holds the refusal in place. runSeedAdmin takes a small interface so the bootstrap path is tested without a Postgres pool; it had no tests before.

api
Cairn OBS's query API: a single POST /query endpoint accepting either the
pipe syntax or raw SQL, compiled and routed across ClickHouse and Tantivy
by internal/querylang. Replaces Phase 0/1's two separate placeholder
endpoints (raw-SQL-only /query, free-text-only /search) — see
/docs/query-language-design.md for the grammar, IR, and routing design,
and /docs/query-language-reference.md for the user-facing syntax.
Why plain REST, not gRPC + REST gateway
PROJECT-SPEC.md pins the control plane to "Go, gRPC + REST gateway." This
service is plain net/http instead — a deliberate simplification, not a
change to the pinned stack. Wiring up a .proto service,
google.api.http annotations, and protoc-gen-grpc-gateway codegen for
one endpoint doesn't buy much at this size. api does speak gRPC
internally — to /search — this simplification is about the
public-facing surface only.
Endpoint
POST /query — body {"query": "...", "language": ""}, response
{"columns": [...], "rows": [[...], ...]} or {"error": "..."}.
queryis either pipe syntax (service=api | where status>=500 | stats count by host) or raw SQL (SELECT ...). Auto-detected by whether the query starts withSELECT(case-insensitive).languageoptionally overrides detection:"sql"or"spl". Exists for the rare case a pipe query legitimately starts with the literal word "select" as a bare search term.- Both syntaxes compile to the same
querylang/ir.Planand execute through the same code path — seeinternal/querylang/executorfor the four routing cases (pure ClickHouse; Tantivy prefilter + ClickHouse rows; Tantivy prefilter + ClickHouse aggregation; raw SQL passthrough).

searchclient.Dial connects to /search over plain TCP, no TLS — same
trust boundary as api's existing plain-TCP connection to ClickHouse.
mTLS in this project is specifically the agent↔ingest edge boundary, not
every internal hop.

Testing notes
internal/queryapi's HTTP handler depends on ClickHouse and /search
only through the narrow interfaces querylang/executor defines
(SQLRunner, SearchClient), so routing, compilation, JSON encoding,
and error-status mapping are all unit-tested against fakes — no live
ClickHouse or /search instance needed, and the real lexer/parser/
planner run unmocked in these tests, only the backends are faked. See
internal/querylang's own package docs for how compilation and
execution are tested independently of each other. executor.ChRunner
(the reflection-based row scanning against ClickHouse's driver.Rows)
and internal/searchclient's actual gRPC dial are not unit-tested — the
former because faking driver.Rows fully would be significant
test-only scaffolding the driver's own docs say isn't meant to be
implemented by adopters; the latter because it's a thin wrapper with
nothing but wiring to test. Both are exercised end-to-end via the
docker-compose flow in /docs/phase-2-runbook.md.
