feat(config): make every documented rule addressable - #77
Merged

Conversation
The rules reference lists 21 rules, but only the 14 statement rules were registered. Naming `slow-query`, `n-plus-one`, `seq-scan`, `high-cost`, `full-table-scan`, `no-index-used` or `filesort` under `disable`, `only`, `severity` or `settings` warned with `unknown rule` — a hard error under `strict: true` — on a config the docs' own table invites you to write. There was also no way at all to turn slow-query off, or to move it off WARNING. A RuleSpec may now carry a nil Factory: it registers a name without a rule body. Those seven use it. They cannot be evaluated against a parsed Statement — middleware derives two from latency and fingerprint counts, explain derives five from the database's own plan — but they are documented as rules, so they register to be addressable, and the profile decision reaches whoever builds the finding. Guard resolves its two once in NewGuard, keeping the per-query path config-free; explain filters centrally in applyProfile rather than at each of the five sites that build one, so a plan rule added later cannot forget the check. All seven register in analyzer/rules.go rather than in the packages that own them. config validates names against analyzer.RuleNames() while importing only analyzer, so registering seq-scan from explain's init would make a config naming it fail for anyone who does not link that package. Two consequences worth stating. `explain` now honors `rules:`, which reverses a documented "config does not affect explain" stance — the docs are updated. And `only:` is a whitelist across every surface now, so a list that omits slow-query turns it off. Breaking: the slow-query threshold moves from the top-level `slow-query.threshold` key to `rules.settings.slow-query.threshold`, so every tunable lives in one place; Config.SlowQueryThreshold and SlowQueryConfig go with it. Setting both `n-plus-one.threshold` and `.window` now enables N+1 from a file, which was previously reachable only from Go. An explicit Go option outranks the file in both cases. Settings.Duration falls back to the caller's default on an unparseable value, which would have turned a typo into a silently wrong threshold, so config validates duration-shaped settings up front.
Ten review findings on the uniform-rule-config change; all were real. An unknown rule name was warned about and then honored. Since `only:` is a whitelist over every registered rule, one typo produced a whitelist matching nothing — and now that the runtime and plan findings are addressable, that silenced slow-query, N+1 and every EXPLAIN finding too, not just the static scan. Unknown names are now reported and left out. checkDurationSettings only covered durations, but n-plus-one.threshold is read with Settings.Int, which also falls back silently. A quoted `threshold: "10"` — a string in YAML — read back as 0, so detection stayed off with nothing said, in the one path that exists to turn it on from a file. Validation now covers numbers as well, and reports half a paired block, where one key alone does nothing. Validation trimmed the value before parsing but Settings.Duration did not, so `" 500ms "` passed the check and then fell back to the default. The read trims now, so the check and the read agree. Config resolution had landed after openDB in the explain command, contradicting the comment directly above it: a rule-name typo under `strict: true` cost the full connect timeout before surfacing, and warnings printed under connection noise. Moved back above the dial and pinned by an elapsed-time assertion. Docs: rules.md still said the plan rules were not configurable and pointed at the moved slow-query key; configuration.md documented SlowQueryThreshold(), which this branch deletes, and described option-order precedence that no longer applies; n-plus-one.md did not mention it can be enabled from a file. The precedence claim also overreached. A Go option wins for a threshold, but `disable` wins over the Go call — deliberately, so an operator can silence a noisy rule without a redeploy. Documented as the asymmetry it is and pinned by tests. `only:` reaching EXPLAIN is a behaviour change for existing valid configs, so it is now called out in explain.md and the changelog rather than only in a commit message.
`only:` is a whitelist over every registered rule, so once the plan rules became addressable a config written to focus the static scan — `only: [select-star, delete-without-where]` — left no plan rule enabled and `sqlguard explain` reported nothing. A config that never mentions EXPLAIN should not silently turn that command into one that always exits clean. `only:` selects which rules the analyzer runs over a statement, so it keeps applying to the scan and to the runtime findings. Naming a rule is the part that has to reach everywhere: `disable:` and `severity: off` still switch a plan rule off, including alongside a whitelist. Analyzer.RuleDisabledExplicitly answers the narrower question and is deliberately not the complement of RuleEnabled — a footgun worth the two tests that pin it, since a future reader will reasonably expect otherwise.
… severity
Nine review findings on the whole branch; all were real.
`only:` was the biggest. Making the seven addressable also made
`only: [slow-query]` a valid list — and `p.skip` folds the whitelist in before
the Evaluated() check, so it bound no rules and `sqlguard scan` reported
nothing on any codebase, which is indistinguishable from a clean run. A list
that names nothing runnable is now reported. `EvaluatedRuleNames` is what lets
config tell the two apart.
Settings validation only covered values, so the one typo left silent was the
key: `slow-query: {threshhold: 1s}` named a known rule with a well-formed
value, and the threshold quietly stayed at 200ms — the exact failure the
validation exists to prevent. ruleSettings is now the complete tunable set, so
an unknown key on a listed rule and any key on a rule with no tunables both
report. The duration branch also passed anything that was not a string, so
`window: true` cleared both checks and left N+1 off; it now accepts only a
duration string or a number. A non-positive `n-plus-one.threshold` reports
rather than silently meaning "off".
DefaultSeverity was decorative for all seven: middleware and explain each
repeated a literal, so editing the registry entry would have done nothing
despite the comment calling it the single source of truth. Both read
RuleDefaultSeverity now. seq-scan still escalates on row count, but from the
registered default rather than a hardcoded INFO.
Docs: `only` does not ignore `disable` (skip checks disable after the
whitelist); `settings` does not reach the five plan rules, which read none;
and AGENTS.md named checkDurationSettings, which this branch had already
renamed.
…ncating Six review findings; all were real. The worst was a log flood. `slow-query.threshold: 0` was accepted and matched every successful query, so the middleware reported `slow-query` on all of them — into the log sink redaction exists to protect. `0.5` did the same by a different route: Settings.Duration converted a float with `time.Duration(v) * time.Millisecond`, and time.Duration(0.5) truncates to 0, so a sub-millisecond threshold became no threshold. The conversion scales before converting now, and both duration settings reject non-positive values, the way n-plus-one.threshold already did. A zero `n-plus-one.window` passed the paired-key check and then left detection off, which is the same class. checkOnlySelectsSomething inspected the resolved set, so it could not see the typo it was written for: unknown names are dropped, `only: [selct-star]` resolves to an empty map, and an empty whitelist is not a whitelist — every rule runs, the opposite of the narrowing that was asked for. It takes the configured list now and reports that case separately. seq-scan's row-count escalation assigned SeverityWarning outright, undoing the point of reading the registry default one line above: Register can replace a built-in by name, so a seq-scan registered at CRITICAL would have reported the wide scan as less severe than the narrow one. It only escalates upward now. The migration snippet for the removed SlowQueryThreshold() did not compile — it chained a field selector off Profile(), which returns two values. Replaced with one that does, checked by building it against the package.
`only:` now narrows the scanner and the statement rules at runtime, and deliberately reaches neither the runtime findings nor the plan rules. It is the same argument that already applied to explain, and it applies harder here: a whitelist is written to focus a scan and names statement rules, so `only: [select-star]` in a repository's config would otherwise switch off latency and N+1 reporting in the running application — without naming either, and without warning. Losing production observability to a line meant for CI is worse than losing a CLI command's output. Collapses the two accessors into one. RuleEnabled and RuleDisabledExplicitly were deliberately not complements, which I called a footgun when adding the second; with `only:` scoped the same way for all seven, one method answers `disable:` and `severity: off` for every finding built outside the statement path, and the Analyzer no longer needs the whitelist-folded map at all. Naming a rule still reaches every surface, so `disable:` and `severity: off` are the way to switch one of these off — including alongside an `only:` list.
The rebase onto the 0.3.0 release put them under `## [0.3.0] - 2026-09-25` without reporting a conflict — the release commit inserted a new `## [Unreleased]` directly above the old heading, so git matched the surrounding context and appended into the section below it. Nothing here shipped in 0.3.0, so leaving them there would have credited a published release with a breaking config change it does not contain.
…alationOnlyGoesUp
…list Four findings from the cloud review. checkOnlySelectsSomething tested the `only:` list against EvaluatedRuleNames, which is not the condition it meant to catch. A name the whitelist selects and `disable:` — or `severity: off` — then takes away again left the scanner with nothing to run, silently, even under `strict: true`: exactly the failure the function was added for, reached by a config that reads like an ordinary narrowing. It now asks `Profile.Skip`, the same question DefaultWithProfile asks, so the two cannot disagree. Renamed to checkScanHasRules, since it is no longer only about the list. It stays gated on `only:` being configured. Disabling every statement rule without one is a deliberate setup — sqlguard used purely for its runtime findings — and does not deserve a warning. config's asDuration/asInt duplicated Settings.Duration/Int, which is how a validator and a reader drift into disagreeing about the same value; this branch already fixed one instance of that. Settings now exposes LookupDuration/LookupInt, Duration/Int delegate to them, and the loader validates through the very accessors the rules read with. Both remaining nits: the registry-default fallback was written out twice, now analyzer.RuleDefaultSeverityOr; and NewQueryTracker's new severity parameter is a Go API break that the changelog documented only for the YAML change.
Follows through on 99b2429, which did the same in the test. The production branch still carried the long form; the behaviour is identical and the builtin says what it means.

A non-positive slow-query threshold still takes effect. In lenient mode (the default), Profile() warns about the value and then stores it. NewGuard then applies any parsable duration from the profile, including 0 and negative values. The result: slow-query: {threshold: 0} (or "0s", "-1s") makes every successful query report slow-query. The CHANGELOG says this flood is now prevented. Warnings should also match behavior: a value that was warned about should not be applied, the same rule as for unknown names.

Keep an explicitWithSlowQueryThreshold(0)working as it does now.
Based on learnings: "treat a zero value for a duration-threshold option (like slow-query threshold) as 'unset'… fall back to the default threshold when the configured value is zero."

Call walkPgPlan in TestPlanSeverity_EscalationOnlyGoesUp.
The test computes max(base, analyzer.SeverityWarning) itself and checks that the result is not below base. That is always true, so the test cannot fail. If someone puts back severity = analyzer.SeverityWarning in walkPgPlan, this test still passes.
Run the code under test with a wide Seq Scan node instead.

Correct the only: documentation for runtime and plan rules.
Analyzer.RuleEnabled deliberately ignores only: for the seven non-statement rules. Update the comments and documentation at the cited sites to state that disable, severity, and applicable settings reach runtime and plan rules, while only selects statement rules only. Keep the separate .sqlguard.example.yml correction for “disable is ignored” as an independent change.

Fix the reference YAML comment so it matches the table.
Line 86 says disable still applies to the rules that only lists. Line 188 says the same. The unchanged YAML comment at Line 40 says "ONLY these rules run (disable is ignored)". Profile.Skip checks both, so Line 40 is wrong, and the page now contradicts itself. .sqlguard.example.yml Line 19 has the same wrong comment.

A warning is half an answer in lenient mode, which is the default: the load continues, and the rejected value still reached the reader. `slow-query.threshold: 0` warned and then matched every successful query anyway, flooding the reporter it exists to protect — the earlier fix only held under `strict: true`, where the load stops. checkSettings now returns the settings that survived, and Profile carries that subset. The paired-key check judges what survived too, so a pair whose other half was rejected is reported as inert, which it is. TestPlanSeverity_EscalationOnlyGoesUp asserted on a locally computed max and so could not fail — it exercised the builtin, not walkPgPlan, and would have kept passing if the escalation went back to assigning SeverityWarning outright. It now drives walkPgPlan with a Seq Scan node and asserts on the finding; reverting the fix fails it. Docs: `.sqlguard.example.yml` and the reference YAML in configuration.md both still said `only:` means "disable is ignored", which is false — Profile.Skip checks the disabled set after the whitelist — and neither said the whitelist does not reach the runtime or plan rules. explain.WithAnalyzer is new exported API with no example, so Library use now shows both building a profile in code and taking one from a loaded config; both snippets were compiled.

How

RuleSpecmay now carry a nilFactory: it registers a name without a rule body. The seven use it —slow-queryandn-plus-one, which middleware derives from latency and repetition, and the five plan rulesexplainreads from the database's own plan. None can be evaluated against a parsedStatement, but all are documented as rules, so they register to be addressable and their owners ask the analyzer for the resolved decision.Guardresolves its two once inNewGuard, so the per-query path stays config-free.explainfilters centrally inapplyProfilerather than at the five sites that build a finding, so a plan rule added later cannot forget the check.All seven register in
analyzer/rules.go, not in the packages that own them:configvalidates againstanalyzer.RuleNames()while importing onlyanalyzer, so registeringseq-scanfromexplain'sinit()would break configs for anyone not linking that package.Breaking changes

Passanalyzer.SeverityWarningfor the previous behaviour.The decision worth reviewing: what

If it reached the rest,only: [select-star]in a repository's config would also switch off latency and N+1 reporting in the running application and makesqlguard explainreport nothing — none of which it mentions, and none of which would warn. Losing production observability to a line meant for CI is worse than losing a CLI command's output.That is one accessor,
RuleEnabled, with one meaning. An earlier revision had two with non-complementary semantics; scopingonly:the same way for all seven removed the footgun and −98 lines with it.Silent-failure guards
Making the seven addressable made several new configs expressible, and most of them fail by reporting nothing — which is indistinguishable from a clean run. Each is now reported, in lenient mode as a warning and under

Profile.Skip— the same questionDefaultWithProfileasks — rather than testing the list against the registry, so the check and the binding cannot disagree. It is gated ononly:being present, because disabling every statement rule without one is a legitimate runtime-only setup.Notes for reviewers
Validation reads through the accessors the rules read with.
SettingsexposesLookupDuration/LookupIntandDuration/Intdelegate to them, so a value the loader accepts can never be one the reader quietly replaces with a default. An earlier revision kept a second copy of those parsing rules and they had already drifted once.Registry defaults are load-bearing. Middleware and
