Implements a from-scratch PostGraphile v5 native connection filter plugin, replacing the upstream postgraphile-plugin-connection-filter dependency. New package: graphile/graphile-connection-filter/ Plugin architecture (7 plugins): - ConnectionFilterInflectionPlugin: filter type naming conventions - ConnectionFilterTypesPlugin: registers per-table and per-scalar filter types - ConnectionFilterArgPlugin: injects filter arg on connections via applyPlan - ConnectionFilterAttributesPlugin: adds per-column filter fields - ConnectionFilterOperatorsPlugin: standard/sort/pattern/jsonb/inet/array/range operators - ConnectionFilterCustomOperatorsPlugin: addConnectionFilterOperator API for satellite plugins - ConnectionFilterLogicalOperatorsPlugin: and/or/not logical composition Key features: - Full v5 native: uses Grafast planning, PgCondition, codec system, behavior registry - EXPORTABLE pattern for schema caching - Preserves addConnectionFilterOperator API for PostGIS, search, pgvector, textsearch plugins - No relation filter plugins (simplifies configuration vs upstream) - Preset factory: ConnectionFilterPreset(options) Also updates graphile-settings to use the new workspace package.
…Operator filterType is for table-level filter types (UserFilter), while filterFieldType is for scalar operator types (StringFilter). Satellite plugins pass scalar type names, so the lookup must use filterFieldType to match the registration in ConnectionFilterTypesPlugin. Previously worked by coincidence since both inflections produce the same output, but would silently fail if a consumer overrode one inflection but not the other.
Adds computed column filter support — allows filtering on PostgreSQL functions that take a table row as their first argument and return a scalar. Controlled by connectionFilterComputedColumns schema option. The preset factory includes the plugin only when the option is truthy (default in preset: true, but constructive-preset sets it to false).
- Remove phantom postgraphile-plugin-connection-filter dep from graphile-pgvector-plugin (never used) - Remove phantom postgraphile-plugin-connection-filter dep from graphile-pg-textsearch-plugin (never used) - Update graphile-plugin-connection-filter-postgis to use graphile-connection-filter workspace dep with typed imports - Update graphile-search-plugin to use graphile-connection-filter workspace dep with typed imports - Replace (build as any).addConnectionFilterOperator casts with properly typed build.addConnectionFilterOperator
…on-filter - Update search plugin, pgvector, and postgis test files to import from graphile-connection-filter instead of postgraphile-plugin-connection-filter - Use ConnectionFilterPreset() factory instead of PostGraphileConnectionFilterPreset - Import ConnectionFilterOperatorSpec type from graphile-connection-filter - Fix smart quote characters in filter descriptions to match existing snapshots
…ion filter tests - Add graphile-connection-filter as devDependency in graphile-pgvector-plugin (test file imports ConnectionFilterPreset but package had no dependency) - Skip connectionFilterRelations tests in search plugin (relation filters are intentionally not included in the v5-native plugin; they were disabled in production via disablePlugins with the old plugin)
…toggle - ConnectionFilterForwardRelationsPlugin: filter by FK parent relations - ConnectionFilterBackwardRelationsPlugin: filter by backward relations (one-to-one + one-to-many with some/every/none) - connectionFilterRelations toggle in preset (default: false) - Un-skip relation filter tests in search plugin - Updated augmentations, types, and exports
… at runtime The preset factory now always includes relation plugins in the plugin list. Each plugin checks build.options.connectionFilterRelations at runtime and early-returns if disabled. This allows the toggle to be set by any preset in the chain, not just the ConnectionFilterPreset() call.
Enables relation filter fields in the production schema: - Forward: filter by FK parent (e.g. clientByClientId on OrderFilter) - Backward: filter by children with some/every/none - Codegen will pick up the new filter fields automatically
- Search plugin: isPgCondition → isPgConnectionFilter scope
- BM25 plugin: isPgCondition → isPgConnectionFilter scope
- Disable PgConditionArgumentPlugin and PgConditionCustomFieldsPlugin in preset
- Update all tests from condition: {...} to filter: {...}
- Add graphile-connection-filter devDependency to BM25 plugin
- Update search plugin graceful degradation tests to use filter
BREAKING CHANGE: The condition argument has been removed entirely.
All filtering now uses the filter argument exclusively.
- Search plugin plugin.test.ts: condition → filter syntax, add ConnectionFilterPreset - Server-test: condition → filter in query with equalTo operator - Clear stale snapshots (schema-snapshot, introspection) for regeneration
- Search plugin: update snapshot keys to match renamed filter-based tests - Schema snapshot: remove all condition arguments and XxxCondition input types - Introspection snapshot: remove condition arg and UserCondition type - Kept conditionType in _meta schema (unrelated to deprecated condition arg)
… behavior for pgCodecRelation, update schema snapshot with relation filter types
… types to schema snapshot
…, and proper type ordering
…y filter at applyPlan level
Top-level empty filter {} is now treated as 'no filter' (skipped) instead of
throwing an error. Nested empty objects in and/or/not and relation filters are
still rejected. This removes the need for the connectionFilterAllowEmptyObjectInput
workaround in pgvector tests.
- Extract shared getQueryBuilder utility into graphile-connection-filter/src/utils.ts - Remove duplicate getQueryBuilder from search, BM25, and pgvector plugins - Replace (build as any).dataplanPg with build.dataplanPg (already typed on Build) - Replace (build as any).behavior with build.behavior (already typed on Build) - Replace (build as any).input.pgRegistry with build.input.pgRegistry (already typed) - Remove scope destructuring as any casts (pgCodec already typed on ScopeInputObject) - Add pgCodec comment to augmentations.ts noting it's already declared by graphile-build-pg - Export getQueryBuilder from graphile-connection-filter for satellite plugin use

feat: tighten TypeScript types in satellite filter plugins
Summary
Improves type safety across the satellite filter plugins (search, BM25, pgvector) by:
getQueryBuilderutility intographile-connection-filter/src/utils.ts— previously duplicated identically (~40-50 lines each) in search, BM25, and pgvector plugins(build as any)casts where PostGraphile'sBuildinterface already provides proper types:(build as any).dataplanPg→build.dataplanPg(typed astypeof import("@dataplan/pg"))(build as any).behavior→build.behavior(build as any).input?.pgRegistry→build.input.pgRegistry= {} as anyscope casts —pgCodecis already declared onScopeInputObjectbygraphile-build-pg, soscope: { isPgConnectionFilter, pgCodec } = {}works without the castNet result: 81 insertions, 134 deletions.

Since this is purely a type-safety refactor with no functional changes, CI passing is the primary validation. For additional confidence:
