- Line 1342: Extend _known_number to recognize results from supported numeric
scalar functions such as abs, so boolean_valued comparisons convert the boolean
operand when the other side is numeric. Add a rendering test for comparing a
boolean column with abs(amount), preserving existing behavior for other
expressions.

- Around line 138-139: Update the AVG source-type inference used by the
`entry.name == "avg"` branch so arithmetic expressions retain their numeric type
before the `dialect.integer_avg` cast decision. Avoid casting DECIMAL arithmetic
to FLOAT, while preserving the cast for integer inputs so AVG remains
fractional.

Fixes DEV-2046 (and delivers DEV-1970).
Why
Aggregating a boolean was broken.
sum(has_fraudulent_dispute)emittedCAST(SUM(b) AS BOOLEAN): on DuckDB that silently returnedTrueinstead of the count, and Postgres, SQL Server, BigQuery and Snowflake rejected it outright. The cause was structural: four places typed aggregate results and disagreed with each other, several render sites built aggregates by hand, and "is this value boolean?" was answered once, best-effort, in binding.What changes
A boolean is its integer wherever a number is needed. One authority (
boolean_valuedincore/keys.py) decides whether a value is boolean: a BOOLEAN column, a predicate, an all-booleancoalesce/iif,min/maxof a boolean, and so on. Every renderer, type surface and gate reads that answer.sum,avg,median,percentile,weighted_avg,stddev_*,var_*,corr,covar_*) reads a boolean input as 1 / 0.min/maxconvert the result back to BOOLEAN. The count family,first/lastand custom aggregations still get the raw boolean.flag * amount,round(flag),coalesce(flag, 0),flag = 1).Predicates are aggregatable. Comparisons, connectives,
INand time-point comparisons can be aggregation sources, both over rows and over attached values. Previously some of these raised a pydantic error:One classifier, every surface agrees.
classify_aggregationtakes the source type. Engine slot types, response formats and the SQL facade'sINFORMATION_SCHEMA.METRICSnow all derive from it. The facade's own type inference is gone, so custom aggregations report the source type there too.One aggregate-application helper.
apply_aggregate/aggregate_inputinsql/render/aggregates.pyare used by the built-in builder, the value-key renderer, HAVING, the association pick, the rankedfirst/lastpick and the windowed producer. That also fixesfirst(flag)on Postgres (max(boolean)does not exist there).SQL Server: a predicate in a value position (
sum(amount) > 50as a measure,sum(amount > 15)) renders as its BIT value,CAST(CASE WHEN p THEN 1 WHEN NOT p THEN 0 END AS BIT). Conditions (WHERE / HAVING / JOIN / CASE WHEN) stay bare.Expression sources reach the builders as AST, not re-parsed text (the expression-source part of DEV-1972). This fixes
sum(True)rendering as a column named"TRUE".SQL Server
avgis fractional. T-SQL'sAVGover integers truncates:avg(flag)returned 0 instead of 0.5, andavgof an INT column oravg(sum(int_col))lost its fraction too. On SQL Server, anyavginput that isn't already DOUBLE is now read as FLOAT. Exact-decimal columns are left alone and keep their precision.weighted_avgskips a NULL value's weight and no longer divides as integers. Before, integer value and weight truncated on SQLite / Postgres (11.0 instead of 11.25), and NULL values still counted their weight in the denominator.All-NULL inputs. A built-in aggregation over all-NULL inputs takes its empty value (0 for the count family, NULL otherwise) in every location. This is now stated in
architecture/semantics.arc42.mdAxiom 4 and enforced bytests/test_dev2046_all_null_inputs.py.Behaviour changes worth a look
consecutive_periodsaccepts a boolean in a numeric position ((sum(revenue) > 0) + (sum(cost) > 0)) instead of raisingValueError.weighted_avgresults change where the value column has NULLs. A filtered column (weighted_avg(q_amount, weight=quantity)) now averages over the matching rows. Themodels/column-filtersscenario now states its result through the derived-column equivalence. A custom aggregation that reads every weight (wavg) keeps the "parameters are never masked by the source filter" check.ALLOWED_DELTASprotocol: theweighted_avgtemplate; one T-SQL BIT value; five BigQuery cases where a table qualifier is no longer back-quoted by the old text round-trip; ten T-SQL cases whereAVGnow reads a non-DOUBLE input as FLOAT.Spec
