jcoffey-dev 7becb7344d Stop an owner deleting the account they are signed in as
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": "..."}.

  • query is either pipe syntax (service=api | where status>=500 | stats count by host) or raw SQL (SELECT ...). Auto-detected by whether the query starts with SELECT (case-insensitive).
  • language optionally 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.Plan and execute through the same code path — see internal/querylang/executor for the four routing cases (pure ClickHouse; Tantivy prefilter + ClickHouse rows; Tantivy prefilter + ClickHouse aggregation; raw SQL passthrough).

GET /healthz — for docker-compose/k8s liveness checks.

No auth. Not scoped yet — don't expose this beyond a trusted dev/homelab network.

Configuration

Environment variables (see internal/config/config.go):

Var Default Purpose
HTTP_LISTEN_ADDR :8080
CLICKHOUSE_ADDR localhost:9000 Native protocol port
CLICKHOUSE_DATABASE / _USERNAME / _PASSWORD cairnobs / default / ``
SEARCH_GRPC_ADDR localhost:50052 Must match /search's GRPC_LISTEN_ADDR
QUERY_TIMEOUT_SECONDS 30 Per-request timeout
CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGIN * Wide open by default since there's no auth yet; tighten together

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.

Building & testing

go build ./...
go vet ./...
go test ./...
# from the repo root, not api/
docker build -f api/Dockerfile -t cairnobs-api .

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.
