 ## Missing indexes
 
-For each distinct SELECT, backlens asks Postgres for its plan with `EXPLAIN (GENERIC_PLAN)` (Postgres 16+). Plain EXPLAIN never runs the query, and the generic plan needs no parameter values. When a table is read row by row while filtering on columns that no index starts with, the Issues tab names the table and columns and gives the `CREATE INDEX` to add. It checks whether an index exists, not how fast the query was, so it is right on a small dev database too.

+**Create on this database** builds the index on the database your app is connected to, through the app's own connection: backlens never sees a database password. It shows which database first, builds with `CONCURRENTLY` so writes are not blocked, checks that Postgres can use the index for the query, and **Undo** drops it again. Only an index on the columns backlens checked can be created this way, never arbitrary SQL. Use it on a development database, then add the SQL to a migration.

 ## Explain and fix, with proof
 
-Every issue has **Explain** and **Suggest fix**. A fix goes: a preview of exactly what would be sent and to whom, the model's answer as a diff, **Apply and check** (only on files with no uncommitted changes, with a backup), then backlens rebuilds if needed, restarts your app, replays the request that showed the issue and runs your tests. Only a fix that removes the issue and keeps the tests green is marked proven. Keep it, or revert to the exact files you had.

 Who answers is set up in **AI settings**, all from the dashboard. The first-run setup asks too.
