aggregate sum / avg over 3+ fractional addends: SQLite native adds with compensation (0.1+0.2+0.3 = 0.6), every other face and the rows path naively (0.6000000000000001), so having $eq 0.6 keeps the group on SQLite native only

Filing gate: ① a product defect with a measured reach:. Finding class (a). reach: was measured at engine.aggregate and REST POST /api/v1/data/:object/query on SQLite, at base 75b216924 and at PR #20486's head 07f81ea19.

Filed by the domain:engine execution seat 1 (session_01N8TPEsoJxPsdSdNKGnNGEN, os-warren) from the #20387 dev's report (os-dev-report 5875171240, open_questions[0] and out_of_scope_findings[0]). The at-tier contract review of PR #20486 (record 5875498653, ③) judged it a residual to route to triage on its own card, not a trip of #20387's stop valve. ⛔ Filed bare: routing and grading belong to triage. ⛔ Not a claim.

What happens

A number column holds 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 in one group.

face	`sum`	`avg`	`having { s: { $eq: 0.6 } }`
SQLite native (better-sqlite3, SQLite 3.53.4)	`0.6`	`0.19999999999999998`	keeps the group
the engine's rows path, every dialect (`in-memory-aggregation.ts`, a left fold)	`0.6000000000000001`	`0.20000000000000004`	keeps no group
PostgreSQL / MySQL native, once PR #20486 lands (double accumulation)	`0.6000000000000001`	`0.20000000000000004`	keeps no group

The rows path is forced here by a filtered sibling aggregation. One query gives two answers depending on the path, on SQLite alone.

Why

SQLite 3.43 and later sums with Kahan-Babuska-Neumaier compensation. The rows path's reduce adds naively, and after PR fix(driver-sql): sum / avg accumulate in double on PostgreSQL and MySQL, as on SQLite and the rows path #20486 so do PostgreSQL and MySQL.
Two addends cannot differ: the compensated result of a + b equals the naive one. So aggregate sum / avg: PostgreSQL and MySQL native answer exact decimal (0.1 + 0.2 = 0.3) while SQLite and the engine rows path answer a double (0.30000000000000004), so having { s: { $eq: 0.3 } } keeps the group on PG / MySQL native only #20387's pin (0.1 + 0.2) agrees on every face, and PR fix(driver-sql): sum / avg accumulate in double on PostgreSQL and MySQL, as on SQLite and the rows path #20486 fixes it. Three or more can differ in the last place.
This is pre-existing: at base, SQLite's own two paths already disagreed. It is out of both of aggregate sum / avg: PostgreSQL and MySQL native answer exact decimal (0.1 + 0.2 = 0.3) while SQLite and the engine rows path answer a double (0.30000000000000004), so having { s: { $eq: 0.3 } } keeps the group on PG / MySQL native only #20387's routes' reach, since no SQL spelling makes SQLite's sum naive or PostgreSQL / MySQL's compensated.
It lies inside the loss the one-double policy (driver-sql on PostgreSQL: the native aggregate returns count / sum / avg as strings ("n":"1", "total":"20.000…"), so having { n: { $in: [2] } } keeps no group on PostgreSQL alone, where memory, SQLite and PG's rows path keep c1, c2 #20335, PR fix(driver-sql): aggregate count / count_distinct / sum / avg answer numbers on PostgreSQL and MySQL #20372) declares ("loss beyond double precision declared"). Whether that declaration covers "one query, two answers" is the question here.

Same family, a note, not a separate finding (PR #20486's review, ③): PostgreSQL's sum(float8) is parallel-safe. A parallel aggregate adds worker-partial sums in another order, so a large group of three or more fractional addends can also differ in the last place on PostgreSQL. This is not measured, and it is unreachable at #20387's pin.

Options, as the dev measured them (⛔ not a ruling)

A. State it and stop. The one-double policy's declared loss covers the last place, and PR fix(driver-sql): sum / avg accumulate in double on PostgreSQL and MySQL, as on SQLite and the rows path #20486's changeset states the residual. Zero cost. "One query, one answer" stays unmet on SQLite for this shape. No measured producer compares a sum of three or more fractional addends with $eq.
B. Register a naive-sum aggregate on the SQLite connections (better-sqlite3 db.aggregate, plus the driver-turso and driver-sqlite-wasm heirs), and lower sum / avg over fractional columns to it. Every face then answers one double. The cost is a new driver mechanism per connection and per SQLite heir, and giving up SQLite's more accurate sum.
C. Make the rows path add with compensation. Rejected by the dev: PostgreSQL / MySQL cannot add with compensation in SQL, so the split just moves to them.

The dev recommends A, and revisits B only if a measured producer needs an exact $eq on fractional sums of three or more addends across dialects.

Dedupe

search_issues "sqlite native sum compensated summation kahan last place aggregate three addends rows path having $eq" in objectstack-ai/objectstack, open and closed: 2 hits. #20387 is the two-addend pin this came out of (PR #20486 fixes it), and #20335 (closed) is the answer-type defect. Neither is this.

Dedupe words: sqlite sum compensated summation kahan · sqlite native sum vs rows path 0.6000000000000001 · aggregate sum three addends last place having $eq

Path: run it — aggregates | 缺项 (fractional sum / avg over 3+ addends) | P3

Triage: first grade — `bug` · `priority:p3` · `domain:engine` · `area:records` · `pm:queue`

Triage: lands in the engine's rows path (in-memory-aggregation.ts) ⇒ domain:engine, the lane and grade of #20387 (p3), whose residual this is.

Rationale: SQLite native sums with compensation; the rows path and PostgreSQL / MySQL native add naively. So three or more fractional addends can differ in the last place, and having $eq 0.6 keeps a group on one path only. It is real but last-ulp ⇒ p3.

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-09-28T18:04Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Direction. Fix the one face the platform owns: the rows path's sum / avg fold uses compensated (Kahan-Babuska-Neumaier) summation.

It then agrees with SQLite native on both SQLite paths, and it is the more accurate answer.
PostgreSQL / MySQL native double accumulation is the database's own. ⛔ Don't wrap it to chase last-ulp parity.
State the residual in the PR: exact $eq on a fractional sum compares doubles, and a cross-dialect last-place difference remains there.

On SQLite both engine.aggregate paths now answer one double: over 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 the rows path went from 0.6000000000000001 / 0.20000000000000004 to 0.6 / 0.19999999999999998, and having { s: { $eq: 0.6 } } keeps the group on both paths, through the engine and REST.

Seat answer to the os-dev report on #20489 (PR #20543)

domain:engine#1 · session_01N8TPEsoJxPsdSdNKGnNGEN (os-warren) · written 2026-09-29T01:37Z. ⛔ Not a claim. Claim 5881410875 stands, and this answer admits the files named below beside it.

Open question 1: A. fix(objectql): the rows path adds sum / avg with compensated summation, as SQLite does #20543 lands as it is: triage 5875711059 scoped this card to "the one face the platform owns", the rows path.
- The family close-out goes on its own card, filed bare by the seat from out_of_scope_findings[0]:
  - driver-memory's native aggregate and its analytics face;
  - the service-analytics draft preview;
  - the proposed hoist of compensatedSum to @objectstack/core.
- The new driver-memory split (native 0.6000000000000001 against rows 0.6) is stated in this PR's changeset, as the report says.
A DELIBERATE CORRECTION is owed in this PR, and admitted for a patch round (text only): .changeset/20387-aggregate-one-double.md is still pending on main, so it ships in the same release as this PR. Its "Residual, stated." paragraph says SQLite's native answer "can still differ from every other face" ("SQLite 0.6, every other face 0.6000000000000001"). This PR makes that FALSE, because the rows path now answers 0.6.
- Correct that paragraph, plus any other sentence of the note this PR falsifies. Check line 16's "every other face answers 1.2222222222222223" too.
- Name this card in the corrected sentence. The dev's proposed wording in out_of_scope_findings[1] is a good base.
- Check Changeset goes red on that one name by design. The at-tier review is its written confirmation. ⛔ No skip-changeset.
Admitted with it, comment text only:
- packages/drivers/driver-sql/src/sql-driver.ts's AGGREGATE_ACCUMULATION residual comment;
- the driver-sql 20387 test header's residual sentence.
  Both say the same now-false thing. No logic moves.
Deviations 1–4: accepted. The PostgreSQL / MySQL residual cites aggregate sum / avg: PostgreSQL and MySQL native answer exact decimal (0.1 + 0.2 = 0.3) while SQLite and the engine rows path answer a double (0.30000000000000004), so having { s: { $eq: 0.3 } } keeps the group on PG / MySQL native only #20387's live measurement. CI's live job runs any driver-sql cell, and this PR adds none.
Next: the patch round, then the at-tier review of the final head.

ACCEPT — PR #20543 at `1c476788382b5de4e5aec4c5cebb71fe14452f53`

domain:engine#1 · session_01N8TPEsoJxPsdSdNKGnNGEN (os-warren) · written 2026-09-29T02:15Z. Contract review of record: 5882358400 on PR #20543, at-tier, read-only, PASS on this head. It is also the written confirmation of the DELIBERATE CORRECTION below.

Checklist, verified against GitHub rather than the reports:

Form: draft, base main, and Fixes #20489 is the only closing keyword in the body. Claim 5881410875 names the branch claude/issue-20489-rows-path-compensated-sum and reads Clause-②: no, which is also the line in the changeset and the PR body.
Scope: 7 files, +433 / −16:
- in-memory-aggregation.ts: the rows path's sum / avg go through one module-private compensatedSum, a transcription of SQLite's kahanBabuskaNeumaierStep with its overflow guard;
- an objectql unit pin (11 cases) and a REST pin on SQLite, with a spy proving which path ran;
- the 20489 changeset;
- the admitted text-only edits: the 20387 note, sql-driver.ts's AGGREGATE_ACCUMULATION comment and the 20387 test header.
Every file is inside claim 5881410875 plus seat answer 5881988201. Every changed line under packages/drivers/driver-sql/ is a comment.
Changeset: @objectstack/objectql patch, Clause-②: no. No export, key or accept set moves; only the value on one path moves, in the last place. No driver-sql line is owed for a comment-only change: the note corrected below is itself driver-sql's entry, in the same release.
The DELIBERATE CORRECTION of .changeset/20387-aggregate-one-double.md, which is pending on the merge base and ships in the same release:
- Only its "Residual, stated." paragraph changes. "Every other face 0.6000000000000001" became false when this PR made the rows path compensate. It now reads: PostgreSQL / MySQL native add without compensation, while SQLite 3.43+ and, since aggregate sum / avg over 3+ fractional addends: SQLite native adds with compensation (0.1+0.2+0.3 = 0.6), every other face and the rows path naively (0.6000000000000001), so having $eq 0.6 keeps the group on SQLite native only #20489, the rows path compensate (0.1 + 0.2 + 0.3: PostgreSQL / MySQL native 0.6000000000000001, SQLite and the rows path 0.6).
- The review judged every rewritten sentence TRUE, and line 16 still TRUE. It is the only edit to a foreign changeset.
- Check Changeset is red on that one name by design. It is not a required context. ⛔ No skip-changeset.
Governed surface: none. check-governed-merges --pr 20543 finds the PR not governed. It is 449 changed lines.
CI: 41 check-runs on the head, all concluded: 34 success, 5 skipped by roster, and 2 failures, both Check Changeset (the by-design red above). Temporal Conformance (live PG + MySQL), all dogfood shards and Test Core 1/6–6/6 are green.
Behaviour: on SQLite, one aggregate query now answers one double on both paths, through engine.aggregate and REST alike.
- Over 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, the rows path moves from 0.6000000000000001 / 0.20000000000000004 to 0.6 / 0.19999999999999998, SQLite native's answer, and having { s: { $eq: 0.6 } } keeps the group on both paths.
- Two addends, integers within 2^53, a non-finite total, null handling and the empty group are unchanged.

Carried out of this card:

aggregate sum / avg over 3+ fractional addends: driver-memory native, its analytics face and the service-analytics draft preview still add naively (0.6000000000000001) where the rows path and SQLite add with compensation (0.6) #20544 (filed bare): driver-memory's native aggregate, its analytics face and the service-analytics draft preview still add naively. On driver-memory the two paths now differ in the last place, and the changeset says so.
Acceptance notes, carrier the next touch of the file:
- sql-driver.ts aggregate()'s inline "one number on every face" was already an overclaim before this PR;
- the 20387 test header's having-filter.ts == wording.
Acceptance note, carrier none: PostgreSQL / MySQL remain naive, the database's own, which triage ruled out of scope.

Landing: ready, then auto-merge through the queue. The merge closes this card (Fixes). The seat then verifies the squash on main and removes pm:dispatched in the same act.

Landing record: PR #20543 merged. This card is closed `completed` by its `Fixes` line

domain:engine#1 · session_01N8TPEsoJxPsdSdNKGnNGEN (os-warren) · written 2026-09-29T02:46Z.

Verified on main:

The squash is 8538edf43fd2156a15b49e689a3d37a54bf7382e, merged 2026-09-29T02:45Z by the queue, with one parent. It is an ancestor of origin/main.
It carries 7 files, +433 / −16, the accepted head's list.
The squash's changed lines are identical to the accepted head 1c4767883's changes against its merge base 288611e3e (the same md5 over every added and removed line).
compensatedSum in in-memory-aggregation.ts is present at the squash and absent at its parent, and so is the 20489-rows-path-compensated-sum changeset.
The DELIBERATE CORRECTION of .changeset/20387-aggregate-one-double.md is on main: its "Residual, stated." paragraph names aggregate sum / avg over 3+ fractional addends: SQLite native adds with compensation (0.1+0.2+0.3 = 0.6), every other face and the rows path naively (0.6000000000000001), so having $eq 0.6 keeps the group on SQLite native only #20489, absent at the parent, as the only hunk.
The PR body's one closing keyword is Fixes #20489, so no other card was closed.

Delivered: the engine's rows path adds sum / avg with compensated (Kahan-Babuska-Neumaier) summation, transcribed from SQLite's own. On SQLite, one aggregate query now answers one double on both paths: over 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.6 / 0.19999999999999998, and having { s: { $eq: 0.6 } } keeps the group either way.

Two addends, integers within 2^53, a non-finite total, null handling and the empty group are unchanged.
@objectstack/objectql ships patch, Clause-②: no. The ACCEPT is 5882365212, and the contract review of record is 5882358400 (PASS, also the written confirmation of the correction).

Carried out of this card:

aggregate sum / avg over 3+ fractional addends: driver-memory native, its analytics face and the service-analytics draft preview still add naively (0.6000000000000001) where the rows path and SQLite add with compensation (0.6) #20544: driver-memory's native aggregate, its analytics face and the analytics draft preview still add naively. On driver-memory the two paths now differ in the last place.
Acceptance notes:
- PostgreSQL / MySQL native stay naive, which is the database's own;
- sql-driver.ts aggregate()'s inline comment and the 20387 test header's == wording ride the next touch of those files.

pm:dispatched is removed in the same act as this record. The domain, area and type labels stay.
