+# Tenant Data Isolation — Design Spec
+
+> **Date:** 2026-04-09
+> **Status:** Approved — ready for implementation planning
+> **Approach:** PostgreSQL RLS as safety net; application-layer filtering as primary enforcement
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+ResolutionFlow is a multi-tenant SaaS. The tenant boundary is `account_id` (UUID foreign key to `accounts.id`). Two accounts must be completely isolated at every layer: one client must never be able to see, access, query, or receive data belonging to another client — even if there is a bug in application code.
+
+This spec establishes the complete foundation that must be in place before further feature development proceeds.
+
+### Design Principle
+
+**Application code is the primary enforcement mechanism. PostgreSQL Row-Level Security (RLS) is the safety net.**
+
+Both layers must always be present. Developers must never rely on RLS to do filtering that application code should be doing. A missing `tenant_filter()` in application code is a code review failure even if RLS would have caught it.
+
+---
+
+## Current State
+
+- Tenant boundary: `account_id` (not `team_id` — that column is legacy)
+- Isolation today: 100% application-layer, manual per-endpoint `.where(account_id == ...)`
+- No RLS, no DB session variables, no middleware tenant injection
+- Nullable `account_id` on ~8 core models (User, Tree, TreeCategory, etc.)
+- ~20 tables with no direct `account_id` (scoped only through join chains)
+- 4 models with `team_id` only, no `account_id`: TargetList, ScriptBuilderSession, ScriptTemplate, ScriptGeneration
+- Known existing gaps: see Section 4
+
+---
+
+## Section 1: Schema Changes
+
+### 1a. Denormalize `account_id` onto all tenant-relevant tables
+
+Add `account_id UUID NOT NULL` (with FK to `accounts.id` and index) to each of the following tables that currently lack it:
+
+| Table | Backfill path |
+|---|---|
+| `sessions` | `sessions.user_id → users.account_id` |
+| `attachments` | `attachments.session_id → sessions.user_id → users.account_id` |
+| `session_supporting_data` | `session_supporting_data.session_id → sessions.user_id → users.account_id` |
+| `audit_logs` | `audit_logs.user_id → users.account_id` |
+| `maintenance_schedules` | `maintenance_schedules.tree_id → trees.account_id` |
+| `user_folders` | `user_folders.user_id → users.account_id` |
+| `user_pinned_trees` | `user_pinned_trees.user_id → users.account_id` |
+| `session_branches` | `session_branches.ai_session_id → ai_sessions.account_id` (verify column name — may be `session_id`) |
+| `session_handoffs` | `session_handoffs.ai_session_id → ai_sessions.account_id` (verify column name — may be `session_id`) |
+| `session_resolution_outputs` | `session_resolution_outputs.session_id → sessions.user_id → users.account_id` |
+| `fork_points` | `fork_points.session_id → ai_sessions.account_id` |
+| `ai_session_steps` | `ai_session_steps.session_id → ai_sessions.account_id` |
+| `ai_suggestions` | `ai_suggestions.tree_id → trees.account_id` |
+| `step_ratings` | `step_ratings.user_id → users.account_id` (backfill from rater, not the step) |
+| `step_usage_logs` | `step_usage_logs.user_id → users.account_id` (backfill from user, not the step) |
+| `psa_post_logs` | `psa_post_logs.psa_connection_id → psa_connections.account_id` (psa_connections already has account_id NOT NULL) |
+| `psa_member_mappings` | `psa_member_mappings.psa_connection_id → psa_connections.account_id` |
+| `notification_logs` | `notification_logs.notification_config_id → notification_configs.account_id` |
+
+**Deferred:** `tree_shares` — backfill strategy and RLS policy depend on whether sharing is intra-tenant only or cross-tenant. Must be resolved before RLS is enabled on this table. See Section 7 (Open Questions).
+
+### 1b. Make existing nullable `account_id` columns NOT NULL
+
+These tables have `account_id` already but it is nullable:
+
+- `users`
+- `trees`
+- `tree_categories`
+- `tree_tags`
+- `step_categories`
+- `step_library`
+- `tree_embeddings`
+- `feedback`
+
+Action: Backfill any NULL rows (assign to correct account or delete if orphaned test/seed data), then `ALTER COLUMN account_id SET NOT NULL`.
+
+### 1c. Global / template content
+
+Move global content out of tenant tables into dedicated tables with no RLS:
+
+- **`template_trees`** — default and publicly visible trees (currently `is_default=True` or `visibility='public'` in `trees`). All tenants can read; no RLS.
+- **`platform_steps`** — public steps from step library (currently `visibility='public'` in `step_library`). All tenants can read; no RLS.
+- Tables already global (no change needed): `script_categories`, `platform_settings`, `plan_limits`, `feature_flags`, `plan_feature_defaults`.
+
+### 1d. Migration sequence (per table)
+
+Every table that gains `account_id` follows this exact sequence. Each step must succeed before the next begins:
+
+1. `ADD COLUMN account_id UUID` (nullable)
+2. Backfill via `UPDATE ... JOIN ...`
+3. `SELECT COUNT(*) WHERE account_id IS NULL` — must be zero before proceeding
+4. `ALTER COLUMN account_id SET NOT NULL`
+5. `CREATE INDEX ON
(account_id)`
+6. Enable RLS (in Phase 3, not here)
+
+Any migration that cannot reach step 3 (zero NULLs) must roll back completely. No partial state.
+
+---
+
+## Section 2: PostgreSQL Roles & RLS Infrastructure
+
+### 2a. Database roles
+
+Two PostgreSQL roles:
+
+**`resolutionflow_app`**
+- Used by all application requests
+- Subject to all RLS policies
+- Standard table privileges: `SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE` on all tenant tables
+
+**`resolutionflow_admin`**
+- Used by: Alembic migrations, seed scripts, super admin API endpoints, scheduled background jobs requiring cross-tenant access
+- Has `BYPASSRLS` attribute — not subject to RLS policies
+- Same table privileges as `resolutionflow_app`
+- Connection string exposed as `DATABASE_ADMIN_URL` env var
+
+The current `postgres` superuser is replaced in the application by these two roles. The connection string in `DATABASE_URL` transitions to `resolutionflow_app`. Alembic uses `DATABASE_URL_SYNC` pointing to `resolutionflow_admin`.
+
+### 2b. Per-request tenant context injection
+
+Every request that passes through `get_db()` must execute, inside a transaction boundary:
+
+```sql
+SET LOCAL app.current_account_id = '';
+```
+
+`SET LOCAL` is transaction-scoped — it resets automatically when the transaction ends. No cleanup needed. This is implemented in a modified `get_db()` dependency that receives `current_user` and executes the SET before yielding the session.
+
+**Fail-closed behavior:** If `app.current_account_id` is not set (e.g., a bug where `SET LOCAL` was skipped), `current_setting('app.current_account_id', false)::uuid` returns NULL. `NULL = NULL` is false in SQL — the RLS policy matches zero rows. This is the correct fail-closed behavior.
+
+Public endpoints (no authenticated user) do not call `SET LOCAL`. RLS matches zero rows for all tenant tables. This is correct.
+
+### 2c. RLS policy pattern
+
+Every tenant table (from Section 1 + all existing tables with account_id) gets:
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
+ALTER TABLE FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
+
+-- SELECT
+CREATE POLICY tenant_select ON FOR SELECT
+ USING (account_id = current_setting('app.current_account_id', false)::uuid);
+
+-- INSERT
+CREATE POLICY tenant_insert ON FOR INSERT
+ WITH CHECK (account_id = current_setting('app.current_account_id', false)::uuid);
+
+-- UPDATE
+CREATE POLICY tenant_update ON FOR UPDATE
+ USING (account_id = current_setting('app.current_account_id', false)::uuid)
+ WITH CHECK (account_id = current_setting('app.current_account_id', false)::uuid);
+
+-- DELETE
+CREATE POLICY tenant_delete ON FOR DELETE
+ USING (account_id = current_setting('app.current_account_id', false)::uuid);
+```
+
+**`FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY`** ensures the table owner is also subject to policies. The `resolutionflow_admin` role bypasses via its `BYPASSRLS` attribute, not via ownership.
+
+**`audit_logs` exception:** SELECT policy only. No `WITH CHECK` on INSERT (app inserts audit logs freely). No UPDATE or DELETE policies ever. These constraints are permanent and must be documented in the migration comment.
+
+**Global tables** (`platform_settings`, `plan_limits`, `feature_flags`, `plan_feature_defaults`, `template_trees`, `platform_steps`): No RLS.
+
+### 2d. Connection pool reuse safety
+
+The `SET LOCAL` approach is transaction-scoped. A connection pool reuse test (see Section 6) must verify that a connection returned to the pool after tenant A's request does not carry tenant A's `account_id` into tenant B's request. This is guaranteed by `SET LOCAL` (resets on transaction end) but must be explicitly verified.
+
+---
+
+## Section 3: Application-Layer Enforcement Patterns
+
+### 3a. `tenant_filter()` helper
+
+Add to `backend/app/core/filters.py`:
+
+```python
+def tenant_filter(model, account_id: uuid.UUID):
+ """
+ Primary app-layer tenant filter.
+ MUST be used in every SELECT/UPDATE/DELETE on tenant tables.
+ RLS is the safety net — this is the primary enforcement.
+ """
+ return model.account_id == account_id
+```
+
+All existing filter helpers (`build_tree_access_filter`, `build_step_visibility_filter`) must internally call `tenant_filter()` as their base constraint.
+
+### 3b. Fetch-and-verify pattern
+
+For ID-based lookups, filter by **both** `id` AND `account_id` in the query — not fetch-then-check:
+
+```python
+# Correct
+stmt = select(Tree).where(
+ Tree.id == tree_id,
+ tenant_filter(Tree, current_user.account_id)
+)
+tree = (await db.execute(stmt)).scalar_one_or_none()
+if not tree:
+ raise HTTPException(status_code=404)
+
+# Prohibited — fetch first, then check
+tree = await db.get(Tree, tree_id)
+if tree.account_id != current_user.account_id:
+ raise HTTPException(status_code=403) # Reveals existence — also wrong
+```
+
+Endpoints must return **404, not 403**, for cross-tenant ID lookups. Never confirm that a resource exists.
+
+### 3c. `get_tenant_context` dependency
+
+Add to `backend/app/api/deps.py`:
+
+```python
+async def get_tenant_context(
+ current_user: User = Depends(get_current_active_user)
+) -> uuid.UUID:
+ """
+ Returns the current user's account_id.
+ Raises 403 if the user has no account association.
+ Inject this instead of accessing current_user.account_id directly.
+ """
+ if current_user.account_id is None:
+ raise HTTPException(status_code=403, detail="User not associated with any account")
+ return current_user.account_id
+```
+
+### 3d. Insert pattern
+
+All inserts on tenant tables must explicitly set `account_id`. RLS `WITH CHECK` rejects inserts where `account_id` doesn't match the session variable, but application code must also set it:
+
+```python
+new_record = Tree(
+ account_id=tenant_account_id, # Required — never omit
+ ...
+)
+```
+
+### 3e. Code review checklist rule
+
+Every PR that touches a tenant table must be verified against:
+
+1. Every SELECT/UPDATE/DELETE includes `tenant_filter()` or a wrapper that calls it
+2. ID lookups filter by both `id` and `account_id` in the same query
+3. Inserts explicitly set `account_id`
+4. 404 (not 403) returned for cross-tenant ID lookups
+5. A cross-tenant isolation test is included (Phase 2 onwards)
+
+### 3f. CI grep check
+
+A grep-based CI check is active from the end of Phase 0 on all PRs. It flags:
+- Queries on known tenant tables that don't include `tenant_filter` or `account_id` as a filter term
+- Initial implementation: warn (not block) to allow calibration; switch to block after 2 weeks of false-positive tuning
+
+Pattern to be defined during Phase 0 implementation.
+
+---
+
+## Section 4: Existing Gap Fixes
+
+### Immediate Hotfix (ships before Phase 0)
+
+**CRITICAL: Copilot tree access bypass**
+- **Files:** `backend/app/api/endpoints/copilot.py`, `backend/app/services/copilot_service.py`
+- **Issue:** `start_conversation()` loads a tree by UUID without verifying the requesting user has access. An attacker who knows a tree UUID from another account can extract its full structure, node names, and descriptions via the AI system prompt.
+- **Fix:** Add `can_access_tree(current_user, tree)` check in the endpoint after loading the tree. Also add `tenant_filter(Tree, account_id)` to the tree query in `copilot_service.py`. Raise 404 (not 403) if the tree is not found or not accessible.
+- Ships as an independent hotfix PR, merged immediately.
+
+### Phase 0 Fixes
+
+**LOW: Analytics flow endpoint** (`backend/app/api/endpoints/analytics.py`)
+- `GET /analytics/flows/{tree_id}` returns analytics for any tree by UUID with no access check
+- Fix: Add `tenant_filter(Tree, current_user.account_id)` to the tree fetch query. 404 if not found.
+
+**LOW: Category tree count** (`backend/app/api/endpoints/categories.py`)
+- Tree count per category includes trees from all accounts
+- Fix: Add `tenant_filter(Tree, current_user.account_id)` to the count subquery
+
+**LOW: AI session scope inconsistency** (`backend/app/api/endpoints/ai_sessions.py`)
+- List endpoint is user-scoped (`user_id == current_user.id`); search endpoint uses `OR(user_id, account_id)` exposing other users' session summaries within the same account
+- Sessions are user-scoped only. Cross-user access permitted only via explicit escalation or session sharing
+- Fix: Restrict search endpoint to `user_id == current_user.id`. List and search must behave consistently.
+
+**Phase 0 UUID endpoint audit**
+- Systematically review every endpoint with a `{resource_id}` URL parameter
+- For each: verify that the ID lookup either (a) filters by `id AND account_id` in the query, or (b) calls `can_access_(current_user, resource)` on the fetched object
+- Document every instance found, classify by severity, fix all before Phase 0 closes
+
+---
+
+## Section 5: Legacy `team_id` Migration
+
+### 5a. TargetList — audit-gated
+
+Before any migration work on `TargetList`:
+
+1. Run a full codebase reference audit: grep for all references to `TargetList`, `target_list`, `target-list`
+2. Query the production and staging databases for row count
+3. Decision tree:
+ - Zero code references AND zero rows → drop the table entirely
+ - Zero rows but code references exist → deprecate code, then drop
+ - Rows exist → migrate (see sequence below)
+4. Migration only proceeds after audit result is documented and approved
+
+If migration proceeds:
+- Backfill path: `team_id → teams → users WHERE is_team_admin → account_id`
+- If any row cannot be backfilled to a valid `account_id` → **full rollback**, no exceptions, no manual review queues
+
+### 5b. Pre-migration: teams-to-accounts orphan check
+
+Before any backfill using `team_id → account_id` chains, run:
+
+```sql
+SELECT COUNT(*) FROM teams t
+LEFT JOIN users u ON u.team_id = t.id AND u.account_id IS NOT NULL
+WHERE u.id IS NULL;
+```
+
+Count must be zero before any backfill proceeds. Report and resolve orphaned teams first.
+
+### 5c. Approved migrations (no audit gate)
+
+**ScriptBuilderSession:** Add `account_id`, backfill from `user_id → users.account_id`, set NOT NULL.
+
+**ScriptTemplate:** Add `account_id`, backfill from `created_by_id → users.account_id`, set NOT NULL.
+
+**ScriptGeneration:** Add `account_id`, backfill from `user_id → users.account_id`, set NOT NULL.
+
+### 5d. team_id cleanup
+
+Do NOT drop `team_id` columns during migration. Keep until all application code is updated to use `account_id` exclusively. Drop `team_id` columns in a later cleanup migration after verification.
+
+---
+
+## Section 6: Testing Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: RLS validation tests
+
+**File:** `backend/tests/test_rls_isolation.py`
+
+This test suite validates RLS policies at the database layer, independent of any application code. It connects to the test database using the `resolutionflow_app` role.
+
+**Setup fixture:**
+- Creates two accounts (`account_a`, `account_b`) with seed rows in all tenant tables
+- Creates an async DB connection using `resolutionflow_app` role
+- Sets `SET LOCAL app.current_account_id = ''` before each test
+
+**Test cases per table (~5 cases per table, ~32 tables ≈ ~160 total):**
+
+1. **SELECT isolation** — querying as account_a returns zero rows for account_b's data
+2. **INSERT enforcement** — inserting with `account_id = account_b_uuid` raises a PostgreSQL exception (rejected by `WITH CHECK`)
+3. **INSERT cross-tenant FK** — inserting with correct `account_id` but a FK value (e.g., `tree_id`) that belongs to account_b is also rejected
+4. **UPDATE enforcement** — updating account_b's rows as account_a affects zero rows
+5. **DELETE enforcement** — deleting account_b's rows as account_a affects zero rows
+
+**Fail-closed test:**
+```python
+# Unset app.current_account_id — must raise a database exception
+# Acceptable: psycopg2.errors.InvalidTextRepresentation (NULL::uuid cast fails)
+# NOT acceptable: query returning zero rows silently
+with pytest.raises(asyncpg.PostgresError):
+ await conn.execute("SELECT * FROM trees")
+```
+
+The exact exception type must be documented based on the behavior of `current_setting('app.current_account_id', false)::uuid` when unset. The test asserts on that specific exception.
+
+**audit_logs special cases:**
+- No INSERT `WITH CHECK` test — audit logs must be insertable freely
+- No UPDATE or DELETE tests — those policies must not exist
+- Verify via `pg_policies` that only a SELECT policy exists on `audit_logs`
+
+**tree_shares:** Intentionally deferred. A TODO comment is included:
+```python
+# TODO: tree_shares RLS tests deferred pending sharing model decision.
+# Must be added before RLS is enabled on the tree_shares table.
+# See: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-09-tenant-data-isolation-design.md Section 7
+```
+
+**Tables covered in Phase 1:**
+`trees`, `ai_sessions`, `ai_chat_sessions`, `ai_conversations`, `sessions`, `step_library`, `tree_categories`, `tree_tags`, `step_categories`, `flow_proposals`, `attachments`, `audit_logs`, `psa_connections`, `copilot_conversations`, `file_uploads`, `kb_imports`, `subscriptions`, `account_invites`, `ai_usage`, `notifications`, `session_shares`, `script_builder_sessions`, `script_templates`, `script_generations`, `maintenance_schedules`, `user_folders`, `user_pinned_trees`, `session_supporting_data`, `session_branches`, `session_resolution_outputs`, `psa_post_logs`, `notification_logs`
+
+**Connection pool reuse test:**
+```python
+async def test_set_local_does_not_leak_between_connections():
+ """SET LOCAL must not leak account_id when a connection is returned to the pool."""
+ conn = await pool.acquire()
+ async with conn.transaction():
+ await conn.execute("SET LOCAL app.current_account_id = $1", str(account_a_id))
+ # transaction ends, SET LOCAL resets
+ # Return conn to pool, re-acquire — verify account_id is not set
+ conn2 = await pool.acquire()
+ result = await conn2.fetchval("SELECT current_setting('app.current_account_id', true)")
+ assert result is None or result == ""
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Per-endpoint cross-tenant tests
+
+As each endpoint is touched in any PR from Phase 1 onward, a cross-tenant isolation test is added in the same PR:
+
+```python
+async def test_cannot_access_other_account_(
+ client_account_a, account_b_resource
+):
+ """Account A cannot access Account B's resource by UUID."""
+ response = await client_account_a.get(f"//{account_b_resource.id}")
+ assert response.status_code == 404 # Not 403 — never reveal existence
+```
+
+This is a hard requirement per the code review checklist.
+
+---
+
+## Section 7: Phased Rollout Plan
+
+### Immediate Hotfix (before everything else)
+
+- Fix CRITICAL: Copilot tree access bypass (see Section 4)
+- Ships as independent PR, merged immediately, does not wait for Phase 0
+
+---
+
+### Phase 0 — Foundation
+
+Goal: Fix all existing gaps; establish patterns and tooling; gate future PRs.
+
+1. Fix LOW: Analytics flow endpoint missing ownership check
+2. Fix LOW: Category tree count scope
+3. Fix LOW: AI session search/list inconsistency (restrict both to `user_id`)
+4. **Full UUID endpoint audit** — every `{resource_id}` URL param checked. All gaps documented and fixed before Phase 0 closes.
+5. Add `get_tenant_context` dependency to `deps.py`
+6. Add `tenant_filter()` helper to `filters.py`. Update existing filter helpers to call it.
+7. **Dead code audit:** TargetList references + database row count. Report result.
+8. **Orphan check:** Teams without a resolvable account_id. Report result.
+9. **Define and activate CI grep check** for missing `tenant_filter()` on tenant tables. Active on all PRs from Phase 1 forward.
+
+Gate: All gaps patched. CI grep check active. TargetList and team orphan audit results documented.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 1 — Schema Migration
+
+Goal: Every tenant-relevant table has a direct, NOT NULL `account_id` column.
+
+10. Add `account_id` to all tables in Section 1a (migration per logical domain group: core sessions, PSA, AI, steps, notifications)
+11. Make nullable `account_id` NOT NULL on models from Section 1b
+12. Migrate `ScriptBuilderSession`, `ScriptTemplate`, `ScriptGeneration` from `team_id` to `account_id`
+13. `TargetList`: execute result of Phase 0 audit (drop or migrate)
+14. Create `template_trees` and `platform_steps` tables; migrate global content
+
+Gate: Zero NULL `account_id` values in any tenant table. All backfills verified. Database passes zero-NULL assertion query for every table in scope.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2 — PostgreSQL Infrastructure
+
+Goal: Database roles established; `SET LOCAL` wired into every request; RLS test suite green.
+
+15. Create `resolutionflow_app` and `resolutionflow_admin` PostgreSQL roles; grant privileges
+16. Update `DATABASE_URL` to `resolutionflow_app`; add `DATABASE_ADMIN_URL` for admin connections
+17. Update Alembic to use `DATABASE_ADMIN_URL`
+18. Modify `get_db()` to execute `SET LOCAL app.current_account_id` per request, inside transaction boundary
+19. Update super admin endpoints to use `resolutionflow_admin` connection
+20. Write `test_rls_isolation.py` — all ~160 RLS tests. Must be 100% green before Phase 3. Connection pool reuse test included.
+21. Measure `SET LOCAL` per-request overhead baseline
+
+Gate: All RLS tests green. All existing integration tests green. Connection pool reuse test green. Performance baseline documented.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3 — Enable RLS
+
+Goal: RLS policies active on all tenant tables. Phased by domain, not all at once.
+
+Enable RLS in these batches. Run full test suite after each batch before proceeding:
+
+**Batch A: Core data**
+`trees`, `tree_categories`, `tree_tags`, `sessions`, `attachments`, `session_supporting_data`, `maintenance_schedules`
+
+**Batch B: AI & sessions**
+`ai_sessions`, `ai_chat_sessions`, `ai_conversations`, `ai_usage`, `ai_session_steps`, `session_branches`, `session_handoffs`, `session_resolution_outputs`, `fork_points`, `copilot_conversations`, `flow_proposals`
+
+**Batch C: Steps & library**
+`step_library`, `step_categories`, `step_ratings`, `step_usage_logs`, `ai_suggestions`, `template_trees` (no RLS), `platform_steps` (no RLS)
+
+**Batch D: Integrations & users**
+`psa_connections`, `psa_post_logs`, `psa_member_mappings`, `subscriptions`, `account_invites`, `file_uploads`, `kb_imports`, `notifications`, `notification_logs`, `session_shares`, `user_folders`, `user_pinned_trees`
+
+**Batch E: Scripts & auth**
+`script_builder_sessions`, `script_templates`, `script_generations`, `audit_logs`
+
+For each batch migration: `ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` + `FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` + create all applicable policies.
+
+Gate: All RLS tests green after each batch. All integration tests green. Staging smoke test after Batch E. No performance regressions.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4 — Ongoing
+
+- Every PR that touches a tenant endpoint includes a cross-tenant isolation test
+- CI grep check blocks PRs with missing `tenant_filter()` (warn → block after 2-week calibration)
+- `tree_shares` RLS: design sharing model, implement tests, enable RLS before any sharing feature ships
+- `team_id` columns: drop in a cleanup migration after all application code is fully migrated
+
+---
+
+## Section 8: Open Questions
+
+| Question | Impact | Owner |
+|---|---|---|
+| Is tree sharing intra-tenant only, or can trees be shared across accounts? | Determines `tree_shares` schema, backfill strategy, and RLS policy. Tree_shares table deferred until resolved. | Product |
+| What is the exact PostgreSQL exception raised when `current_setting('app.current_account_id', false)::uuid` is evaluated with no value set? | Determines the fail-closed test assertion. Must be tested in Phase 2. | Engineering |
+| TargetList: zero references + zero rows? Or does data exist? | Determines whether table is dropped or migrated. | Phase 0 audit |
+
+---
