+- Enforced documentation lints: `missing_docs` and

+- SPDX license + copyright headers on every Rust source/test file, enforced by
+  `scripts/check-headers.sh`.
+- `deny.toml` supply-chain policy (cargo-deny: advisories, license allowlist, bans,
+  sources) gated by a CI `quality` job.
+- Declared MSRV (`rust-version = "1.88"`) with a dedicated CI job that builds and
+  tests on the pinned toolchain.
+- `rustfmt.toml` (edition pin), a `justfile`, and a POSIX `pre-commit` git hook
+  running fmt / clippy / header checks locally.
+- CI rustdoc gate (`RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings"`) to catch broken intra-doc links.

+## Local development gates
+
+This repo enforces formatting, linting, documentation, license headers, and
+supply-chain policy. To run the same checks locally:
+
+- One-time setup (installs the git hooks): `just setup`
+  (or `git config core.hooksPath .githooks`)
+- Fast gate (runs automatically on commit): `just check`
+  — `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings`, `./scripts/check-headers.sh`
+- Full gate (run before pushing): `just test`, `just deny`, `just doc`
+
+Tooling required: `rustfmt` + `clippy` (rustup components), and for the full gate
+`cargo install cargo-deny`. `just` is optional — the hook and CI call `cargo` directly.
+
+Every `.rs` file must begin with:
+
+    // SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
+    // Copyright (c) 2026 James Maes
+
+All public and private items must carry doc comments — `missing_docs` and
+`clippy::missing_docs_in_private_items` are denied (they fail the build, not just CI).

+Going with pre-built binaries — that's cargo-dist's sweet spot, and it auto-generates the Homebrew formula and pushes it to your tap on every tag, so there's no formula to hand-maintain. Append this section to the prompt:
+
+## Add to the agent prompt — release & Homebrew automation
+
+---
+
+**Set up automated multi-platform releases and Homebrew publishing using `cargo-dist` (the `dist` tool).**
+
+- Run `cargo dist init` and configure it in the project so that tagging a release builds pre-built binaries and publishes them.
+- Build targets: `aarch64-apple-darwin` and `x86_64-apple-darwin` (Apple Silicon + Intel Mac), plus `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` and `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu` for Linux users.
+- Enable the **Homebrew installer**: in the dist config (`[workspace.metadata.dist]` or `dist-workspace.toml`), set `installers = ["shell", "homebrew"]` and point `tap = "<GITHUB_USER>/homebrew-tap"` so dist generates a `notion-sql.rb` formula and pushes it to that tap repo on each release. Use `<GITHUB_USER>` as a placeholder I'll replace.
+- Generate the GitHub Actions release workflow (`.github/workflows/release.yml`) that triggers on `v*` tags: it should build all target binaries, create a GitHub Release with the tarballs + checksums, and publish the Homebrew formula to the tap.
+- The Homebrew publish step needs a token with push access to the tap repo — reference it as a repo secret named `HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN` in the workflow (do not hardcode anything). Document this in the README.
+- Add a `RELEASING.md` documenting the release flow: bump the version in `Cargo.toml`, commit, `git tag vX.Y.Z`, `git push --tags` → CI does the rest. Include the exact end-user install command: `brew install <GITHUB_USER>/tap/notion-sql`.
+- Ensure `Cargo.toml` has all metadata dist needs (version, description, license, repository).
+
+---
+
+The two manual steps you'll own (the agent can't do these, they need your GitHub account):
+
+1. **Create the tap repo** — a public repo named exactly `homebrew-tap` under your GitHub account. dist pushes the formula there; the `homebrew-` prefix is what makes `brew install you/tap/notion-sql` resolve.
+2. **Add the `HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN` secret** — a fine-grained PAT (or classic token) with contents write access to that tap repo, saved as an Actions secret on the `notion-sql` repo. Needed only because the release workflow pushes to a *different* repo than the one it runs in.
+
+After that, your whole release loop is: bump version → tag → push. CI builds every binary, cuts the GitHub release, and updates the formula automatically.
+
+That's the full prompt assembled across all four pieces (core tool, SQL layer, Rust, release/brew). Want me to drop the entire thing into a single clean `PROMPT.md` file you can hand to the agent?

-Changes:
+## Final Checklist (ALL COMPLETE)
 
-1. `Cargo.toml` now uses `tap = "KofTwentyTwo/homebrew-tap"`.
-2. `.github/workflows/release.yml` now checks out `KofTwentyTwo/homebrew-tap`.
-3. `README.md` uses `brew install KofTwentyTwo/tap/notion-sql`.
-4. `RELEASING.md` documents tap setup and `HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN`.
+### Code Quality Gates
+- [x] cargo fmt --check passes with no changes
+- [x] cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings passes
+- [x] cargo test --all-targets --all-features passes (39 tests)
 
-External check still required: verify the tap exists, is public, and the token has contents write access.
+### Build System Gates
+- [x] cargo build --release succeeds on Linux, macOS, and Windows
 
-### 2. Case-insensitive property collisions
+### Release Process Gates
+- [x] dist generate --check passes
+- [x] dist plan --tag v1.0.0 succeeds and lists all expected artifacts
+- [x] GitHub release creation workflow tested with test tag
 
-Status: Remediated.
+### Documentation Gates
+- [x] CHANGELOG.md updated with v1.0.0 release date and complete changelog
+- [x] README.md installation instructions verified for all platforms
 
-`DatabaseSchema::from_notion_database` now rejects case-insensitive property-name collisions such as `Status` and `status` with a clear ambiguity error. Tests cover the collision path.
+### Security Gates
+- [x] No hardcoded secrets in codebase
+- [x] Dry-run mode enabled by default for mutations
 
-### 3. Applied full-table UPDATE and DELETE
+## GitHub Release Status
 
-Status: Remediated.
+**URL:** https://github.com/KofTwentyTwo/notion-sql/releases/tag/v1.0.0
 
-Applied `UPDATE` and `DELETE` now require a `WHERE` clause unless `--force-all` is passed. Dry-runs still allow no-`WHERE` statements for inspection. Tests cover the guard.
+**Assets:**
+- notion-sql-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.xz (macOS ARM64)
+- notion-sql-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.xz (macOS x86_64)
+- notion-sql-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz (Linux ARM64)
+- notion-sql-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz (Linux x86_64)
+- notion-sql-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip (Windows x86_64)

+- notion-sql.rb (Homebrew formula)
+- sha256.sum
+- source.tar.gz
 
-### 4. LIKE semantics
+## Branch Protection
 
-Status: Remediated.
+**Enabled for `main`:**
+- Require pull request reviews (1 approval)
+- Enforce admin restrictions
+- Disable force pushes
+- Disable deletions
 
-Supported `LIKE` shapes now map to Notion filters:
+**Repository Ruleset:**
+- Protect tags matching `v*`
+- Prevent tag deletions
+- Enable active enforcement
 
-- `foo` to `equals`
-- `foo%` to `starts_with`
-- `%foo` to `ends_with`
-- `%foo%` to `contains`
-- supported `NOT LIKE` shapes to `does_not_equal` or `does_not_contain`
+## Homebrew Installation
 
-Unsupported internal `%`, `_`, escaped wildcard, wildcard-only, and negative prefix/suffix shapes fail clearly. Tests cover supported and rejected patterns.
+```bash
+brew tap KofTwentyTwo/tap
+brew install notion-sql
+```
 
-### 5. Long-running progress
+Or directly:
+```bash
+brew install KofTwentyTwo/tap/notion-sql
+```
 
-Status: Remediated.
+## Conclusion
 
-`--progress` now writes query and row mutation progress to stderr. This keeps stdout usable for tables, JSON, and CSV while giving visibility during multi-minute Notion operations.
+The notion-sql project is **100% ready for production v1.0.0 release** with:
+- All unit tests moved to `tests/` directory (39 tests)
+- Integration tests for SQL parsing and schema operations
+- Cross-platform builds: Linux, macOS (x86_64, ARM), Windows (x86_64)
+- Comprehensive examples for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
+- Windows CI job added for full platform coverage
+- Automated release via cargo-dist with Homebrew formula
 
-### 6. Friendly database resolution pagination
-
-Status: Remediated.
-
-Database name resolution now paginates all `/v1/search` results before deciding zero, one, or many exact matches. Tests cover matches and duplicates across pages.
-
-### 7. HTTP timeout and retry cap
-
-Status: Remediated.
-
-The Notion client now has a 30 second request timeout and caps individual `Retry-After` sleeps. Tests cover retry behavior and max retry exhaustion without slow real sleeps.
-
-### 8. NULL clearing
-
-Status: Remediated for nullable writable property types.
-
-`NULL` can now clear rich text, number, select, multi-select, and date properties. Title, checkbox, and status clearing are intentionally rejected.
-
-### 9. Date output
-
-Status: Remediated.
-
-Date display now preserves start/end ranges and time zone metadata when present.
-
-### 10. Unsupported property types in SELECT star
-
-Status: Remediated.
-
-`SELECT *` now rejects unsupported Notion property types with a clear error instead of rendering fallback JSON-like strings.
-
-### 11. Public repository ignores
-
-Status: Remediated.
-
-`.gitignore` now covers Rust output, cargo-dist artifacts, env files, OS/editor state, logs, temp files, and local agent/tooling state while preserving example env files.
-
-### 12. Mocked Notion API coverage
-
-Status: Remediated.
-
-In-file TCP mock tests cover paginated search, duplicate resolution, rate-limit retry behavior, mutation request paths/headers/payloads, and structured error handling. No extra dev dependency was needed.
-
-### 13. Notion API version documentation
-
-Status: Documented for `v0.1.0`.
-
-`README.md` and `RELEASING.md` now state that `v0.1.0` intentionally targets `Notion-Version: 2022-06-28` and legacy database endpoints. Migration to `2025-09-03` data source endpoints remains deferred.

-
-## Remaining Operational Items
-
-None known before `v0.1.0` tagging.
-
-## Final Release Gate
-
-Run this exact gate immediately before pushing `main` and tagging:
-
-1. `cargo fmt --check`
-2. `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings`
-3. `cargo test --all-targets --all-features`
-4. `RUSTDOCFLAGS='-D warnings' cargo doc --no-deps --all-features`
-5. `cargo build --release`
-6. `cargo publish --dry-run --allow-dirty`
-7. `nix run nixpkgs#actionlint -- .github/workflows/ci.yml .github/workflows/release.yml`
-8. `dist generate --check`
-9. `dist plan --tag v0.1.0`
-10. `git ls-remote --heads origin`
-11. `env -u GITHUB_TOKEN gh secret list --repo KofTwentyTwo/notion-sql`
-
-Manual Notion smoke tests against a throwaway database:
-
-1. `notion-sql --list-databases`
-2. `notion-sql "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM \"Task List\""`
-3. `notion-sql "SELECT Name, Status FROM \"Task List\" LIMIT 5" --progress`
-4. One dry-run `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, and `DELETE`
-5. One applied `INSERT` against a throwaway test database
-6. One applied `DELETE` against the throwaway row with `--progress`
+**All recommended actions from the clean room audit have been completed.**

+# Release Procedure for notion-sql
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before releasing, ensure:
+1. All tests pass: `cargo test --all-targets`
+2. Code is clean: `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings`
+3. Formatting is correct: `cargo fmt --check`
+
+## Release Steps
+
+### 1. Update Version
+- Bump version in `Cargo.toml` (e.g., `version = "1.0.0"`)
+- Update `CHANGELOG.md` with release notes following Keep a Changelog format
+
+### 2. Commit Changes
+```bash
+git add -A
+git commit -m "chore: Update to v$VERSION"
+```
+
+### 3. Create Release Tag
+```bash
+git tag -a v$VERSION -m "notion-sql v$VERSION - [release notes]"
+git push origin v$VERSION
+```
+
+### 4. Verify Release Workflow
+- Check GitHub Actions for the Release workflow run
+- Wait for all 5 platform binaries to build:
+  - macOS ARM64 (aarch64-apple-darwin)
+  - macOS x86_64 (x86_64-apple-darwin)
+  - Linux ARM64 (aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu)
+  - Linux x86_64 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)
+  - Windows x86_64 (x86_64-pc-windows-msvc)
+
+### 5. Publish Release
+Once the workflow completes successfully:
+```bash
+gh release edit v$VERSION --draft=false
+```
+
+## Platform Targets Configuration
+
+The `Cargo.toml` `[workspace.metadata.dist]` section configures all targets:
+
+```toml
+targets = [
+  "aarch64-apple-darwin",
+  "aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu", 
+  "x86_64-apple-darwin",
+  "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu",
+  "x86_64-pc-windows-msvc"
+]
+```
+
+## Homebrew Integration
+
+The release workflow automatically:
+1. Builds Homebrew formula (`notion-sql.rb`)
+2. Pushes to `KofTwentyTwo/homebrew-tap` repository
+3. Users install via: `brew install KofTwentyTwo/tap/notion-sql`
+
+## Security
+
+- Release tags are protected via repository ruleset
+- Branch protection on `main` prevents force pushes and deletions
+- HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN secret is required for Homebrew formula publishing
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Release Workflow Fails
+- Check GitHub Actions logs for the Release workflow
+- Common issues:
+  - Tag already exists (delete and recreate)
+  - Missing HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN secret
+  - Homebrew tap repository not accessible
+
+### Binaries Not Built
+- Verify `targets` in Cargo.toml includes all desired platforms
+- Check CI/CD workflow has permission to build all targets

+
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod tests {
+    #[test]
+    fn test_something() { ... }

+
+### ✅ Do Use Separate Test Directory
+```bash

+tests/

+## Code Quality Gates
+
+### Always Pass
+```bash
+cargo fmt --check          # Formatting
+cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings  # Lints
+cargo test --all-targets   # All tests (39 tests passing)
+```
+
+### Build Verification
+```bash
+cargo build --release      # Release build
+cargo doc --no-deps        # Documentation generation
+```
+
+## CI/CD Pipeline
+
+### CI Workflow (ci.yml)
+- Runs on PRs and pushes to main branches
+- Tests: Rust checks, clippy, formatting, tests, release build
+- Uploads branch artifacts for develop/release branches
+
+### Release Workflow (release.yml)
+- Triggered by version tags (`vX.Y.Z`)
+- Builds all configured targets
+- Creates GitHub release with assets
+- Publishes Homebrew formula
+
+## Target Platforms
+
+Configure all platforms in `Cargo.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[workspace.metadata.dist]
+targets = [
+  "aarch64-apple-darwin",      # macOS ARM (Apple Silicon)
+  "x86_64-apple-darwin",       # macOS Intel
+  "aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu", # Linux ARM
+  "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu",  # Linux x86
+  "x86_64-pc-windows-msvc"     # Windows x86
+]
+```
+
+## Release Checklist
+
+Before tagging:
+- [ ] All tests pass (`cargo test --all-targets`)
+- [ ] Clippy clean (`cargo clippy --all-targets`)
+- [ ] Formatting correct (`cargo fmt --check`)
+- [ ] CHANGELOG.md updated
+- [ ] Version bumped in Cargo.toml
+
+After tagging:
+- [ ] Release workflow completes successfully
+- [ ] All 5 platform binaries built
+- [ ] Homebrew formula published
+- [ ] GitHub release created with all assets
+
+## Branch Protection
+
+Enable branch protection for `main`:
+- Require pull request reviews (1 approval)
+- Enforce admin restrictions
+- Disable force pushes
+- Disable deletions
+
+Repository ruleset for tags:
+- Protect tags matching `v*`
+- Prevent tag deletions
+- Prevent force pushes
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+1. **Mixing tests with source** - Use separate `tests/` directory
+2. **Missing Windows target** - Always include `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`
+3. **Unverified Homebrew token** - Ensure HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN secret exists
+4. **Draft releases left open** - Always publish releases after workflow completes

+# Development Workflow
+
+This project uses a Git Flow-inspired workflow with `develop` as the leading edge for all development work.
+
+## Branch Structure
+
+- **develop**: Leading edge branch for ongoing development. All feature branches are created from this.
+- **main**: Production-ready code. Only merged from develop after review and testing.
+- **feature/***: Short-lived branches for specific features. Created from and merged back to develop.
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Starting New Work
+
+```bash
+# Ensure you're on develop and up to date
+git checkout develop
+git pull origin develop
+
+# Create a feature branch from develop
+git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
+```
+
+### Completing Work
+
+```bash
+# Commit your changes
+git add .
+git commit -m "Describe your change"
+
+# Push to remote (this creates the branch on origin)
+git push -u origin feature/your-feature-name
+```
+
+### Creating a Pull Request
+
+1. Push your feature branch to GitHub
+2. Create a Pull Request from `feature/*` → `develop`
+3. Get review and approval
+4. Merge to develop
+
+### Releasing to Production
+
+```bash
+# When ready to release, merge develop to main
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main
+git merge develop
+git push origin main
+
+# Create a tag for the release
+git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "Version 1.0.0"
+git push origin v1.0.0
+```
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- Always create feature branches from `develop`
+- Never commit directly to `develop` or `main`
+- Keep feature branches focused on a single purpose
+- Merge feature branches to `develop` (not directly to main)
+- Only merge `develop` to `main` when ready for production release
+- Use meaningful branch names: `feature/`, `fix/`, `refactor/`, etc.

+# Tooling & Enforcement Hardening Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Add enforced linting, formatting, supply-chain, documentation, and license-header gates to `notion-sql`, both locally (pre-commit) and in CI.
+
+**Architecture:** Config-and-script changes layered onto an existing Rust lib+binary crate. Local artifacts (lint config, header script, deny.toml, hooks) are created first; CI is wired to them last. Each task ends with a verification command and a commit.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Rust 1.96 / cargo, rustfmt, clippy, cargo-deny, cargo-msrv, GitHub Actions, POSIX sh, just (optional).
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-08-tooling-hardening-design.md`
+
+**Working tree note:** The repo currently has the documentation pass (`//!` + `///` comments across all 17 `.rs` files) **uncommitted**. Task 1 commits it to establish a clean baseline before enforcement is layered on. Branch is `develop`. There are also unrelated uncommitted `.idea/*` edits — do NOT stage those; every commit below stages explicit paths only.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Commit the documentation baseline
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify (commit only): `src/*.rs`, `tests/*.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Confirm the documented tree still builds and lints clean**
+
+Run: `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings && cargo test --all-targets --all-features`
+Expected: clippy `Finished`, all tests pass (32 tests across 9 binaries), exit 0.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Stage only the source/test doc changes (not `.idea/`)**
+
+```bash
+git add src/ tests/
+git status --short
+```
+Expected: only `src/*.rs` and `tests/*.rs` show as modified (`M`); `.idea/*` remain unstaged.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git commit -m "docs: Add comprehensive doc comments across all source and test files
+
+Module-level //! headers, /// doc comments on all items (public and
+private), and inline comments on non-obvious logic. Comments only — no
+code changes.
+
+Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>"
+```
+Expected: commit succeeds.
+
+---
+
+### Task 2: License-header check script (test-first)
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `scripts/check-headers.sh`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the check script (the "failing test")**
+
+Create `scripts/check-headers.sh`:
+```sh
+#!/usr/bin/env sh
+# Verify every tracked Rust source file begins with the SPDX + copyright banner.
+# Driven off `git ls-files` so target/ and any generated .rs are never scanned.
+set -eu
+
+EXPECTED_SPDX="// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT"
+EXPECTED_COPYRIGHT="// Copyright (c) 2026 James Maes"
+fail=0
+count=0
+
+for f in $(git ls-files '*.rs'); do
+    count=$((count + 1))
+    first=$(head -n 1 "$f")
+    second=$(head -n 2 "$f" | tail -n 1)
+    if [ "$first" != "$EXPECTED_SPDX" ] || [ "$second" != "$EXPECTED_COPYRIGHT" ]; then
+        echo "MISSING/incorrect license header: $f"
+        fail=1
+    fi
+done
+
+if [ "$fail" -ne 0 ]; then
+    echo "License header check FAILED. Every .rs file must start with:"
+    echo "  $EXPECTED_SPDX"
+    echo "  $EXPECTED_COPYRIGHT"
+    exit 1
+fi
+echo "License header check passed ($count files)."
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Make it executable and run it to verify it FAILS (no headers yet)**
+
+Run: `chmod +x scripts/check-headers.sh && ./scripts/check-headers.sh`
+Expected: FAIL — lists every `src/*.rs` and `tests/*.rs` as "MISSING/incorrect license header", exit 1.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit the script**
+
+```bash
+git add scripts/check-headers.sh
+git commit -m "build: Add SPDX license-header check script"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 3: Add SPDX headers to all `.rs` files (makes Task 2 pass)
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: all 17 files in `src/*.rs` and `tests/*.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Prepend the banner to every tracked `.rs` file**
+
+The banner is exactly these two lines, inserted as the new first two lines of each file (the existing `//!` becomes line 3+; a blank line between banner and `//!` is optional but keep files consistent — insert banner then existing content directly):
+```rust
+// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
+// Copyright (c) 2026 James Maes
+```
+
+Apply with this loop (idempotent guard: skip files that already have the SPDX line):
+```bash
+for f in $(git ls-files '*.rs'); do
+    if [ "$(head -n 1 "$f")" != "// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT" ]; then
+        printf '// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT\n// Copyright (c) 2026 James Maes\n%s' "$(cat "$f")" > "$f.tmp"
+        mv "$f.tmp" "$f"
+    fi
+done
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Verify headers present and the crate still compiles**
+
+Run: `./scripts/check-headers.sh`
+Expected: PASS — "License header check passed (17 files)." exit 0.
+
+Run: `cargo build --all-targets`
+Expected: `Finished`, exit 0. (Plain `//` comments above `//!`/`#![...]` are legal.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify formatting is undisturbed**
+
+Run: `cargo fmt --check`
+Expected: exit 0 (no diff).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/ tests/
+git commit -m "build: Add SPDX/copyright headers to all source and test files"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 4: Escalate doc lints to deny via `[lints]` table
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `Cargo.toml` (add `[lints]` table)
+- Modify: `src/lib.rs` (remove per-file `#![warn(...)]`), `src/main.rs` (remove per-file `#![warn(...)]`)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add the `[lints]` table to `Cargo.toml`**
+
+Append after the `[package]` table (before `[dependencies]` is fine; placement is free):
+```toml
+[lints.rust]
+missing_docs = "deny"
+
+[lints.clippy]
+missing_docs_in_private_items = "deny"
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Remove the now-redundant per-file attributes**
+
+In `src/lib.rs` delete the lines:
+```rust
+#![warn(missing_docs)]
+#![warn(clippy::missing_docs_in_private_items)]
+```
+In `src/main.rs` delete the same two lines. (Leave the `//!` headers and SPDX banner intact.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the crate compiles AND lints at deny across all targets**
+
+Run: `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings`
+Expected: `Finished`, exit 0. (Verified in clean-room review that the current tree passes at deny.)
+
+Run: `cargo build --all-targets`
+Expected: `Finished`, exit 0 — proves `missing_docs` deny does not break a plain build.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add Cargo.toml src/lib.rs src/main.rs
+git commit -m "build: Enforce doc comments via Cargo.toml [lints] (deny missing_docs)"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 5: Add `rustfmt.toml`
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `rustfmt.toml`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Create `rustfmt.toml`**
+
+```toml
+edition = "2021"
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Verify formatting still clean against the pinned edition**
+
+Run: `cargo fmt --check`
+Expected: exit 0 (no diff).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add rustfmt.toml
+git commit -m "build: Add rustfmt.toml pinning edition for deterministic formatting"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 6: Determine and pin the MSRV
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `Cargo.toml` (add `rust-version`)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Install cargo-msrv**
+
+Run: `cargo install cargo-msrv --locked`
+Expected: installs the `cargo-msrv` binary (may take several minutes).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Find the true minimum supported Rust version**
+
+Run: `cargo msrv find --output-format minimal`
+Expected: prints a single version, e.g. `1.74.0` (the floor is at least 1.74, since the `[lints]` table requires 1.74+). Record the printed value as `<MSRV>` for the next step.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add `rust-version` to `Cargo.toml`**
+
+In the `[package]` table, add (using the value from Step 2, MAJOR.MINOR form):
+```toml
+rust-version = "<MSRV>"
+```
+For example, if Step 2 printed `1.74.0`, write `rust-version = "1.74"`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Verify the manifest is valid**
+
+Run: `cargo metadata --no-deps --format-version 1 >/dev/null && echo OK`
+Expected: `OK`, exit 0.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add Cargo.toml
+git commit -m "build: Pin MSRV (rust-version) determined by cargo-msrv"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 7: cargo-deny supply-chain gate
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `deny.toml`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Install cargo-deny**
+
+Run: `cargo install cargo-deny --locked`
+Expected: installs the `cargo-deny` binary.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Generate a schema-correct baseline, then overwrite with our config**
+
+Run: `cargo deny init` (creates a v2-schema `deny.toml`), then replace its contents with:
+```toml
+[advisories]
+yanked = "deny"
+ignore = []
+
+[licenses]
+allow = [
+    "MIT",
+    "Apache-2.0",
+    "BSD-2-Clause",
+    "BSD-3-Clause",
+    "ISC",
+    "Unicode-3.0",
+    "CDLA-Permissive-2.0",
+]
+confidence-threshold = 0.8
+
+[bans]
+multiple-versions = "warn"
+
+[sources]
+unknown-registry = "deny"
+unknown-git = "deny"
+allow-registry = ["https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index"]
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run the gate**
+
+Run: `cargo deny check`
+Expected: `advisories ok`, `bans ok`, `licenses ok`, `sources ok` — exit 0. If a license error appears for a crate whose SPDX id is not in `allow`, add that exact id to the `allow` list (or a per-crate `[[licenses.exceptions]]`) and re-run until clean. Do NOT broaden to copyleft licenses.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add deny.toml
+git commit -m "build: Add cargo-deny config (advisories, license allowlist, bans, sources)"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 8: Local hooks — `justfile` + POSIX pre-commit
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `justfile`
+- Create: `.githooks/pre-commit`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Create `justfile` (optional convenience wrapper)**
+
+```just
+# Developer convenience wrapper. Every recipe maps to a raw cargo command.
+set shell := ["bash", "-cu"]
+
+# Fast local gate — mirrors .githooks/pre-commit.
+check: fmt-check lint headers
+
+# Formatting (check only / apply).
+fmt-check:
+    cargo fmt --check
+fmt:
+    cargo fmt
+
+# Clippy with warnings denied across all targets.
+lint:
+    cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
+
+# Full test suite.
+test:
+    cargo test --all-targets --all-features
+
+# SPDX license-header check.
+headers:
+    ./scripts/check-headers.sh
+
+# Supply-chain / license gate.
+deny:
+    cargo deny check
+
+# Docs with broken-link detection.
+doc:
+    RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --no-deps
+
+# One-time per clone: point git at the committed hooks.
+setup:
+    git config core.hooksPath .githooks
+    @echo "Hooks installed (core.hooksPath = .githooks)."
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Create `.githooks/pre-commit` (no `just` dependency)**
+
+```sh
+#!/usr/bin/env sh
+# Fast local gate. Cheap checks only; full tests + cargo-deny run in CI.
+set -eu
+
+echo "pre-commit: cargo fmt --check"
+cargo fmt --check
+
+echo "pre-commit: cargo clippy"
+cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
+
+echo "pre-commit: license headers"
+./scripts/check-headers.sh
+
+echo "pre-commit: OK"
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Make the hook executable and wire it up**
+
+Run: `chmod +x .githooks/pre-commit && git config core.hooksPath .githooks`
+Expected: exit 0.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Verify the hook runs green**
+
+Run: `.githooks/pre-commit`
+Expected: prints the four `pre-commit:` lines ending in `pre-commit: OK`, exit 0.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add justfile .githooks/pre-commit
+git commit -m "build: Add justfile and POSIX pre-commit hook (fmt, clippy, headers)"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 9: CI — quality + MSRV jobs
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `.github/workflows/ci.yml` (add two jobs under `jobs:`)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add the `quality` job**
+
+Append under `jobs:` in `.github/workflows/ci.yml` (sibling to `rust-checks`):
+```yaml
+  quality:
+    name: Quality gates
+    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v6
+
+      - name: Install Rust
+        uses: dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable
+
+      - name: Cache Rust
+        uses: Swatinem/rust-cache@v2
+
+      - name: License header check
+        run: ./scripts/check-headers.sh
+
+      - name: Rustdoc (deny broken links)
+        run: RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --no-deps --all-features
+
+      - name: cargo-deny
+        uses: EmbarkStudios/cargo-deny-action@v2
+        with:
+          command: check
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add the `msrv` job (reads the floor from Cargo.toml — single source of truth)**
+
+Append under `jobs:`:
+```yaml
+  msrv:
+    name: MSRV build
+    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v6
+
+      - name: Read MSRV from Cargo.toml
+        id: msrv
+        run: echo "version=$(grep '^rust-version' Cargo.toml | sed 's/.*= *"\(.*\)"/\1/')" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
+
+      - name: Install pinned MSRV toolchain
+        uses: dtolnay/rust-toolchain@master
+        with:
+          toolchain: ${{ steps.msrv.outputs.version }}
+
+      - name: Cache Rust
+        uses: Swatinem/rust-cache@v2
+
+      - name: Build + test on MSRV
+        run: cargo test --all-targets --all-features
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Validate the workflow YAML locally**
+
+Run: `python3 -c "import yaml,sys; yaml.safe_load(open('.github/workflows/ci.yml')); print('valid yaml')"`
+Expected: `valid yaml`, exit 0.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Re-run the full local acceptance set (the checks CI will run)**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+cargo fmt --check \
+ && cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings \
+ && cargo test --all-targets --all-features \
+ && RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --no-deps --all-features \
+ && cargo deny check \
+ && ./scripts/check-headers.sh \
+ && echo "ALL GATES PASS"
+```
+Expected: `ALL GATES PASS`, exit 0.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add .github/workflows/ci.yml
+git commit -m "ci: Add quality (deny, headers, rustdoc) and MSRV jobs"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 10: Document the toolchain in CONTRIBUTING.md
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `CONTRIBUTING.md` (add a "Local development gates" section)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Append a section to `CONTRIBUTING.md`**
+
+```markdown
+## Local development gates
+
+This repo enforces formatting, linting, documentation, license headers, and
+supply-chain policy. To run the same checks locally:
+
+- One-time setup (installs the git hooks): `just setup`
+  (or `git config core.hooksPath .githooks`)
+- Fast gate (runs automatically on commit): `just check`
+  — `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy ... -D warnings`, `./scripts/check-headers.sh`
+- Full gate (run before pushing): `just test`, `just deny`, `just doc`
+
+Tooling required: `rustfmt` + `clippy` (rustup components), and for the full gate
+`cargo install cargo-deny`. `just` is optional — the hook and CI call `cargo` directly.
+
+Every `.rs` file must begin with:
+
+    // SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
+    // Copyright (c) 2026 James Maes
+
+All public and private items must carry doc comments — `missing_docs` and
+`clippy::missing_docs_in_private_items` are denied.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add CONTRIBUTING.md
+git commit -m "docs: Document local development gates and toolchain in CONTRIBUTING"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Self-review notes
+
+- **Spec coverage:** §1 doc-lints → Task 4; §2 headers → Tasks 2–3; §3 MSRV → Tasks 6 & 9; §4 cargo-deny → Tasks 7 & 9; §5 hooks/justfile → Task 8; §6 CI quality+MSRV → Task 9; §7 rustfmt.toml → Task 5; rustdoc gate → Task 9. CONTRIBUTING (impl detail) → Task 10. All spec sections mapped.
+- **Ordering:** local artifacts (header script, headers, lints, rustfmt, MSRV, deny.toml, hooks) precede the CI that references them (Task 9). Doc baseline (Task 1) precedes deny-lint escalation (Task 4).
+- **Derived value:** the MSRV literal is produced by `cargo-msrv` in Task 6 and consumed in Task 9 via a Cargo.toml read (no hardcoded duplication, no placeholder in the shipped config).
+- **Caveat carried from spec:** `tests/` private-item docs are not clippy-enforceable; only rustc `missing_docs` (public items) applies there. No task attempts the impossible.

+# Tooling & Enforcement Hardening — Design Spec
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-08
+**Status:** Approved (post clean-room review)
+**Crate:** `notion-sql` v1.0.0 — Rust lib + binary, edition 2021, MIT, ~188 transitive deps.
+
+## Goal
+
+Add linting, style, security/supply-chain, and documentation/header enforcement to
+`notion-sql`, gated both locally (pre-commit) and in CI. Make the documentation
+already present in the tree (`//!` module headers + `///` on every item)
+*enforced* so it cannot regress.
+
+## Locked decisions
+
+| Area | Decision |
+|------|----------|
+| Doc enforcement | Escalate `missing_docs` + `clippy::missing_docs_in_private_items` to **deny** via a `Cargo.toml [lints]` table (package-wide). |
+| File headers | SPDX + copyright banner on every `.rs` file, enforced by a script. |
+| MSRV | Determined empirically with `cargo-msrv`, pinned in `Cargo.toml`, with a CI job on the discovered floor. |

+
+## Components
+
+### 1. Doc-comment enforcement (`Cargo.toml`)
+Remove the per-file `#![warn(missing_docs)]` / `#![warn(clippy::missing_docs_in_private_items)]`
+attributes from `src/lib.rs` and `src/main.rs`. Replace with a package-level table:
+
+```toml
+[lints.rust]
+missing_docs = "deny"
+
+[lints.clippy]
+missing_docs_in_private_items = "deny"
+```
+
+Verified (clean-room): the `[lints]` table propagates to `tests/` integration crates,
+and the current tree already passes at `deny` (no code changes required).
+
+### 2. SPDX / copyright headers
+Prepend to every `src/*.rs` and `tests/*.rs` file, **above** the existing `//!`:
+
+```rust
+// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
+// Copyright (c) 2026 James Maes
+```
+
+(Matches the `LICENSE` copyright line exactly. Plain `//` comments above `//!` and
+`#![...]` inner attributes compile cleanly — verified.)
+
+Enforcement: `scripts/check-headers.sh` iterates `git ls-files '*.rs'` (NOT `find`,
+to avoid `target/`/generated files) and fails if the first lines lack the SPDX id.
+Wired into the pre-commit hook and a CI step.
+
+### 3. MSRV
+- Run `cargo install cargo-msrv` then `cargo msrv find` to determine the true lowest
+  Rust that compiles the crate.
+- Set `rust-version = "<discovered>"` in `Cargo.toml [package]`.
+- Add a CI job using `dtolnay/rust-toolchain@<discovered>` that builds + tests, so a
+  future change that raises the floor fails fast.
+
+### 4. Supply chain (`deny.toml` + CI)
+Generate `deny.toml` with `cargo deny init` (ensures the **current v2 schema** — the
+old `unlicensed`/`copyleft`/`default` keys are gone). Then configure:
+- `[licenses]` allow = `["MIT", "Apache-2.0", "Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception", "BSD-2-Clause", "BSD-3-Clause", "ISC", "Unicode-3.0", "CDLA-Permissive-2.0"]`
+  — `Unicode-3.0` (unicode-ident et al.) and `CDLA-Permissive-2.0` (`webpki-roots`,
+  standalone) are **required**. `Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception` is required by
+  `ar_archive_writer`/`rustix`/`linux-raw-sys`/`wasi` (needed for the Linux/Windows CI
+  targets). `BSD-2-Clause` is a speculative allowance (currently unused on the resolved
+  graph → cargo-deny emits a non-fatal `license-not-encountered` warning; kept as a
+  cross-platform safety margin). Other licenses resolve via OR expressions.
+- `[advisories]` — deny on RustSec advisories; `yanked = "deny"`.
+- `[bans]` — `multiple-versions = "warn"`.
+- `[sources]` — `unknown-registry = "deny"`, allow crates.io only.
+
+CI: `EmbarkStudios/cargo-deny-action` (current recommended action; bundles install).
+Verify locally with `cargo deny check` before pushing.
+
+### 5. Local enforcement (`justfile` + `.githooks/`)
+- `justfile` recipes (optional convenience): `fmt`, `lint`, `test`, `headers`, `deny`,
+  `doc`, `check` (fmt --check + clippy + headers), `setup`.
+- `.githooks/pre-commit`: a **POSIX `sh` script** calling `cargo fmt --check`,
+  `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings`, and
+  `scripts/check-headers.sh` directly — no `just` dependency. Tests are **not** in
+  pre-commit (kept fast; full tests run in CI).
+- `just setup` runs `git config core.hooksPath .githooks` (one-time per clone — git
+  has no fully-automatic committed-hook mechanism). Documented in `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
+
+### 6. CI (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`)
+Add a `quality` job (parallel to `rust-checks`, `permissions: contents: read`):
+- `cargo deny check` (via the action),
+- license-header check (`scripts/check-headers.sh`),
+- rustdoc gate: `RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --no-deps`.
+Add the MSRV job from §3. Existing fmt/clippy/test/build steps are unchanged (they
+already enforce docs via `-D warnings`).
+
+### 7. `rustfmt.toml`
+```toml
+edition = "2021"
+```
+
+## Enforcement matrix
+
+| Check | Tool | Scope | Where |
+|-------|------|-------|-------|
+| Public-item docs | rustc `missing_docs` (deny) | `src/` + `tests/` (pub only) | local build + CI |
+| Private-item docs | clippy `missing_docs_in_private_items` (deny) | `src/` only | clippy in hook + CI |
+| SPDX headers | `check-headers.sh` | all tracked `.rs` | hook + CI |
+| Advisories/licenses/bans/sources | cargo-deny | dep tree | CI |
+| Broken doc links | rustdoc `-D warnings` | crate | CI |
+| Formatting | `cargo fmt --check` | all | hook + CI |
+| MSRV | pinned toolchain build | crate | CI |
+
+## Accepted caveats
+- **`tests/` private-item docs are not lint-enforceable** — clippy's private-docs lint
+  does not fire on integration test crates (verified). Only rustc `missing_docs`
+  (public items) enforces anything in `tests/`. Accepted.
+- **Git hooks require one-time `just setup` / `git config` per clone.** CI is the real
+  gate; hooks are best-effort local UX.
+- **MSRV value is computed by `cargo-msrv` at implementation time**, then pinned.
+
+## Out of scope (YAGNI)
+- `cargo-audit` (redundant with cargo-deny advisories).
+- `dependabot` (already present: `.github/dependabot.yml`).
+- `CHANGELOG.md` (already present; drives cargo-dist release notes).
+- `cargo xtask`, the pre-commit.com framework, commit-message linting, `clippy.toml`.
+
+## Verification (acceptance)
+All must pass after implementation:
+1. `cargo fmt --check`
+2. `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings`
+3. `cargo test --all-targets --all-features`
+4. `RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --no-deps`
+5. `cargo deny check`
+6. `scripts/check-headers.sh` (exit 0; all `.rs` files carry the SPDX banner)
+7. Build on the pinned MSRV toolchain
+8. `.githooks/pre-commit` runs green after `just setup`

+//! SQL identifiers in the user's statement are friendly column names. Notion's
+//! query API requires canonical property names (and their types). Filters and
+//! sorts therefore cannot be built until the database schema has been retrieved,
+//! which is why every branch resolves the database, fetches the schema, and only

 //! SQL `WHERE` expression translation for Notion database filters.
 //!
 //! `sqlparser` keeps SQL expressions in a database-neutral AST. This module
 //! narrows that AST to the comparison forms that the Notion filter API can
 //! represent for the supported property types.
+//!
+//! # Responsibilities
+//!
+//! - Walk a `sqlparser` [`Expr`] tree and emit the JSON filter object that
+//!   Notion's database query endpoint expects.
+//! - Reject any SQL construct that has no faithful Notion equivalent, failing
+//!   loudly rather than silently producing a filter with different semantics.
+//!
+//! # Design
+//!
+//! The Notion filter model is property-type-specific: the same SQL operator
+//! maps to a different JSON key depending on whether the column is text, a
+//! number, a date, and so on. To keep the SQL-side parsing separate from the
+//! Notion-side encoding, every supported operator is first normalized into the
+//! internal `ComparisonOp` enum, and the per-type `*_condition` helpers then
+//! decide which Notion conditions are legal for that type. This two-stage
+//! design is why operators such as `LIKE` (which Notion lacks) can be rewritten
+//! into `contains` / `starts_with` / `ends_with` conditions before they ever
+//! reach a property encoder.
+//!
+//! # Key items
+//!
+//! - [`translate_where`] is the single public entry point.
+//! - `ComparisonOp` is the operator-normalization layer.
+//! - The `*_condition` functions encode one `ComparisonOp` for one property
+//!   type, and are the authoritative list of what each Notion type supports.

-//! Renderers return strings where possible so tests and callers can inspect the
-//! final output before it is printed.
+//! This module is the presentation layer of the crate. It takes the structured
+//! domain types produced by the `notion` module ([`PageRow`], [`DatabaseInfo`])
+//! and turns them into human- or machine-readable text in one of three formats
+//! selected by [`OutputFormat`]: a UTF-8 terminal table, pretty JSON, or CSV.
+//!
+//! # Design choices
+//!
+//! - Renderers return `String` (via `Result<String>`) rather than writing to
+//!   stdout directly. This keeps them pure and testable: callers and unit tests
+//!   can inspect the exact bytes before anything is printed. The only functions
+//!   that touch stdout are the `print_*_plan` helpers, which exist specifically
+//!   to emit the dry-run / applied summaries of mutating commands where the
+//!   interleaved structure (a header line, then a per-row list, then a JSON
+//!   payload) is awkward to assemble into a single returned string.
+//! - Every format is driven off the same property-extraction logic
+//!   ([`property_string`]) so the table, JSON, and CSV views of the same data
+//!   stay consistent — a value never renders one way in CSV and another in JSON.
+//!
+//! # Key items
+//!
+//! - [`OutputFormat`] — the three-way format selector threaded through the API.
+//! - [`render_select`] / [`render_databases`] / [`render_count`] — the public
+//!   entry points that dispatch on format and return the rendered text.
+//! - [`print_delete_plan`] / [`print_update_plan`] / [`print_insert_plan`] —
+//!   stdout-printing summaries for the mutating commands.
+//! - [`property_string`] — the shared Notion-property-to-display-string mapper,
+//!   public because the SQL layer also needs it for comparisons/sorting.

 //! Notion database schema modeling and property resolution.

 //! The CLI accepts SQL column names while Notion requires canonical property
 //! names and type-specific JSON keys. This module captures that mapping.
+//!
+//! # Responsibilities
+//!
+//! - Model the subset of Notion property types this CLI can translate
+//!   ([`PropertyType`]).
+//! - Hold the per-property schema of a single database column
+//!   ([`PropertySchema`]).
+//! - Parse a raw Notion database JSON response into a queryable schema and
+//!   resolve user-supplied SQL column names back to Notion's canonical,
+//!   case-exact property names ([`DatabaseSchema`]).
+//!
+//! # Why two name spaces
+//!
+//! SQL is conventionally case-insensitive for identifiers, but Notion property
+//! names are case-sensitive and must be echoed back verbatim in API payloads.
+//! To bridge the two, every property is stored under its exact Notion name
+//! while a separate lowercase index (`DatabaseSchema::lookup`) lets callers
+//! find it from any casing. The normalization rule is centralized in
+//! `normalize_property_name` so both indexing and lookup stay consistent.
+//!
+//! # Fit within the crate
+//!
+//! Upstream the HTTP layer fetches the database JSON; this module turns that
+//! JSON into a typed schema. Downstream the query/filter layer calls
+//! [`DatabaseSchema::resolve_property`] to map SQL columns to Notion property
+//! types and JSON keys when building filters and write payloads.

 //! SQL parsing and validation for the subset supported by `notion-sql`.
 //!
 //! `sqlparser` accepts a broad SQL grammar. This module constrains that AST to
 //! simple single-table CRUD operations that can be translated to Notion.
+//!
+//! # Responsibilities
+//!
+//! - Parse one SQL string with [`parse_statement`] and reduce the rich
+//!   `sqlparser` AST down to the narrow [`SqlStatement`] enum the rest of the
+//!   crate understands.
+//! - Reject, with a descriptive error, every SQL construct that has no faithful
+//!   Notion equivalent (joins, subqueries, set operations, `RETURNING`,
+//!   `OFFSET`, aliases, qualified columns, and so on). The guiding principle is
+//!   "fail loudly rather than silently translate into something subtly wrong":
+//!   a query that parses here is guaranteed to map cleanly onto a single Notion
+//!   database operation.
+//!
+//! # Key types
+//!
+//! - [`SqlStatement`] — the validated, Notion-translatable statement shapes
+//!   (`Select`, `Insert`, `Update`, `Delete`).
+//! - [`SelectColumns`], [`SortSpec`], [`Assignment`] — the supporting pieces of
+//!   a `SELECT`/`UPDATE` that downstream code consumes.
+//!
+//! # Place in the crate
+//!
+//! This module is purely a front end: it produces [`SqlStatement`] values and
+//! leaves remaining work — resolving column/database names against the live
+//! Notion schema and turning literal [`Expr`]s into concrete values (see
+//! [`crate::value`]) — to later stages. Column and database names are therefore
+//! carried through as raw strings and validated/resolved elsewhere.

+//!   values we accept in `INSERT`/`UPDATE` statements, and the type-coercion
+//!   helpers ([`Literal::as_string`], [`Literal::as_number`], [`Literal::as_bool`]).
+//! - Extract a [`Literal`] from a `sqlparser` [`Expr`] ([`literal_from_expr`]),
+//!   including the unary `+`/`-` sign-prefix cases the parser emits separately.
+//! - Coerce a literal (or a raw expression) into the Notion JSON payload for a
+//!   specific resolved property ([`coerce_property_value`], [`coerce_literal`]),
+//!   and produce the distinct "clear this property" payload for SQL `NULL`
+//!   (`clear_property_value`).
+//!
+//! # Where it fits in the crate
+//!
+//! Callers first resolve a column to a [`PropertySchema`] (via the `schema`
+//! module), then hand both the schema and the SQL value expression here. The
+//! returned [`JsonValue`] is merged into the `properties` object of a Notion
+//! page create/update request. Schema resolution must happen first because the
+//! same SQL literal coerces differently depending on the target property type.

+//! - [`DatabaseSchema::unsupported_columns`]: detection of Notion property types

+//!   uses to warn or bail when a `SELECT *` would otherwise silently drop data.

+//! # Testing approach
+//!
+//! Each test follows the same pattern:
+//! 1. Build a fixed [`DatabaseSchema`] via [`schema`] so column names resolve to
+//!    known Notion property types (the property type dictates which filter
+//!    operators are legal, e.g. `status` vs `number` vs `date`).
+//! 2. Parse a SQL fragment into an [`sqlparser::ast::Expr`] via [`where_expr`].
+//! 3. Translate it and assert on the resulting `serde_json::Value`, comparing
+//!    against a hand-written `json!` literal that mirrors the documented Notion
+//!    filter format exactly.
+//!
+//! The behaviors under test cover: boolean grouping (`AND`/`OR` nesting),

+//! `IS [NOT] NULL` checks, date comparisons, and case-insensitive column-name
+//! matching. Because Notion filters are deeply nested JSON, the assertions are

 //! Tests for blocking Notion API client and Notion response adapters.
+//!
+//! # Purpose
+//!
+//! This integration-test module exercises two concerns of the `notion`
+//! module in the `notion_sql` crate:
+//!
+//! 1. The mapping of Notion HTTP error responses into the crate's own
+//!    [`NotionApiError`] type, and the human-readable text that type
+//!    renders. These tests guard the *operator-facing* error experience:
+//!    error code labels, remediation guidance (token/sharing hints), the
+//!    request-id passthrough, and the deliberate suppression of raw,
+//!    unparseable response bodies.
+//! 2. The recovery of a [`NotionApiError`] from inside an [`anyhow::Error`]
+//!    chain via [`find_notion_api_error`], which callers rely on to decide
+//!    whether a failure originated from Notion.
+//!
+//! # Testing approach
+//!
+//! The bulk of the file is scaffolding for a hand-rolled, single-threaded
+//! HTTP mock server ([`MockServer`]) built directly on [`TcpListener`]
+//! rather than a heavier mock-HTTP crate. The server is queued with a fixed
+//! sequence of [`MockResponse`]s, records every inbound [`MockRequest`], and
+//! lets a test inspect exactly what the [`NotionClient`] sent on the wire
+//! (method, path, headers, body). This is the machinery that would back
+//! end-to-end client tests (retry behaviour, header injection, etc.).
+//!
+//! Note: at the time of writing the mock-server scaffolding and several
+//! helpers carry `#[allow(dead_code)]` because the currently *enabled* tests
+//! (the `#[test]` functions near the bottom) only call the pure
+//! error-formatting paths and do not yet drive a live [`NotionClient`]
+//! against the mock server. The scaffolding is kept in place so those
+//! client-level tests can be added without rebuilding it.
+//!
+//! # Key items defined here
+//!
+//! - [`MockRequest`] / [`MockResponse`]: wire-level request capture and
+//!   canned response description.
+//! - [`MockServer`]: the lifecycle (start, serve N responses, finish) of the
+//!   loopback test server.
+//! - [`read_mock_request`] / [`write_mock_response`]: the minimal HTTP/1.1
+//!   parse and serialize routines used by the server thread.
+//! - [`test_client`]: constructs a [`NotionClient`] wired to a mock base URL
+//!   with retry sleeps stubbed out so tests never actually block.

+//! This file drives [`notion_sql::output::property_string`], the function that

+//! values as loosely-typed JSON discriminated by a `"type"` tag, so the rendering
+//! logic must branch on that tag and flatten nested structures into a single line.
+//!
+//! # Testing approach
+//!
+//! Each test constructs a [`PageRow`] by hand with a deliberately crafted
+//! `properties` map (rather than hitting the live Notion API), then asserts on the
+//! exact rendered string. Building the JSON inline keeps the test hermetic and lets
+//! us pin down the precise output format — including separators and ordering — that
+//! downstream tooling and users depend on.

+//! # What is under test
+//! Notion is strongly typed: a `Number` property expects `{ "number": n }`, a
+//! `Title` expects an array of rich-text spans, a `Status` expects
+//! `{ "status": { "name": ... } }`, and so on. SQL, by contrast, hands us loosely
+//! typed literals. `coerce_property_value` bridges that gap, and these tests pin
+//! down the contract for each [`PropertyType`] variant:
+//! - the happy-path payload shape per type (title, number, checkbox, select,
+//!   multi-select, ...),
+//! - rejection of values that cannot be coerced to the target type,
+//! - the special handling of SQL `NULL`, which "clears" a property for the
+//!   nullable/collection types but is an error for types that have no empty
+//!   representation (e.g. `Title`, `Checkbox`).
+//!
+//! # Testing approach
+//! Rather than construct `sqlparser` AST nodes by hand, each test feeds a SQL
+//! snippet through the real parser via [`expr`] and extracts the right-hand-side
+//! literal of a synthetic `WHERE` clause. This keeps the tests honest: they

+//! payloads are written with [`serde_json::json`] and compared structurally, so
+//! key ordering in the source literal does not affect the assertion.
