+# Live Query Subscriptions Strategy
+
+**Date:** 2025-11-16
+**Status:** Phase 1 Complete (Compiler), Phase 2-4 Pending
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Live Query Subscriptions implement **Pattern 1** from `vision.md` - allowing clients to subscribe to denormalized documents and receive automatic updates when any related data changes.
+
+### Architecture Principles
+
+1. **PostgreSQL-First**: Database determines which subscriptions are affected
+2. **Compiler-Driven**: All logic compiled to PostgreSQL functions (zero runtime interpretation)
+3. **In-Memory Subscriptions**: Server holds active subscriptions in memory for performance
+4. **Naming Convention**: `subscribe_<name>` / `unsubscribe_<name>` for pattern matching
+
+---
+
+## Core Concept: Subscribables
+
+**Subscribables** are separate from entities - they define denormalized documents that:
+- Combine data from multiple entities (root + relations)
+- Have their own access control (permission paths)
+- Define subscription parameters (subscription key)
+- Compile to PostgreSQL functions that determine affected documents
+
+### Example Subscribable
+
+```sql
+SELECT dzql.register_subscribable(
+  'venue_detail',              -- Subscribable name
+
+  -- Permission: who can subscribe?
+  jsonb_build_object(
+    'subscribe', ARRAY['@org_id->acts_for[org_id=$]{active}.user_id']
+  ),
+
+  -- Parameters: subscription key
+  jsonb_build_object(
+    'venue_id', 'int'
+  ),
+
+  -- Root entity
+  'venues',
+
+  -- Relations to include
+  jsonb_build_object(
+    'org', 'organisations',
+    'sites', jsonb_build_object(
+      'entity', 'sites',
+      'filter', 'venue_id=$venue_id'
+    ),
+    'packages', jsonb_build_object(
+      'entity', 'packages',
+      'filter', 'venue_id=$venue_id',
+      'include', jsonb_build_object(
+        'allocations', 'allocations'
+      )
+    )
+  )
+);
+```
+
+---
+
+## Generated PostgreSQL Functions
+
+For each subscribable, the compiler generates 3 functions:
+
+###1. Access Control: `<name>_can_subscribe(user_id, params)`
+
+```sql
+CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION venue_detail_can_subscribe(
+  p_user_id INT,
+  p_params JSONB
+) RETURNS BOOLEAN AS $$
+BEGIN
+  -- Check permission path: @org_id->acts_for[org_id=$]{active}.user_id
+  RETURN EXISTS (
+    SELECT 1
+    FROM venues v
+    JOIN acts_for af ON af.org_id = v.org_id
+    WHERE v.id = (p_params->>'venue_id')::int
+      AND af.user_id = p_user_id
+      AND af.valid_to IS NULL
+  );
+END;
+$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql STABLE SECURITY DEFINER;
+```
+
+### 2. Query Function: `get_<name>(params, user_id)`
+
+```sql
+CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_venue_detail(
+  p_params JSONB,
+  p_user_id INT
+) RETURNS JSONB AS $$
+DECLARE
+  v_venue_id int;
+  v_result JSONB;
+BEGIN
+  v_venue_id := (p_params->>'venue_id')::int;
+
+  -- Check access control
+  IF NOT venue_detail_can_subscribe(p_user_id, p_params) THEN
+    RAISE EXCEPTION 'Permission denied';
+  END IF;
+
+  -- Build document with root and all relations
+  SELECT jsonb_build_object(
+    'venues', row_to_json(root.*),
+    'org', (SELECT row_to_json(o.*) FROM organisations o WHERE o.id = root.org_id),
+    'sites', (SELECT jsonb_agg(s.*) FROM sites s WHERE s.venue_id = root.id),
+    'packages', (
+      SELECT jsonb_agg(
+        jsonb_build_object(
+          'package', row_to_json(p.*),
+          'allocations', (SELECT jsonb_agg(a.*) FROM allocations a WHERE a.package_id = p.id)
+        )
+      )
+      FROM packages p WHERE p.venue_id = root.id
+    )
+  )
+  INTO v_result
+  FROM venues root
+  WHERE root.id = v_venue_id;
+
+  RETURN v_result;
+END;
+$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql SECURITY DEFINER;
+```
+
+### 3. Affected Documents: `<name>_affected_documents(table, op, old, new)`
+
+```sql
+CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION venue_detail_affected_documents(
+  p_table_name TEXT,
+  p_op TEXT,
+  p_old JSONB,
+  p_new JSONB
+) RETURNS JSONB[] AS $$
+DECLARE
+  v_affected JSONB[];
+BEGIN
+  CASE p_table_name
+    -- Venue changed: affects subscription for that venue
+    WHEN 'venues' THEN
+      v_affected := ARRAY[
+        jsonb_build_object('venue_id', COALESCE(p_new->>'id', p_old->>'id')::int)
+      ];
+
+    -- Organisation changed: affects all venues in that org
+    WHEN 'organisations' THEN
+      SELECT ARRAY_AGG(jsonb_build_object('venue_id', v.id))
+      INTO v_affected
+      FROM venues v
+      WHERE v.org_id = COALESCE((p_new->>'id')::int, (p_old->>'id')::int);
+
+    -- Site changed: affects parent venue
+    WHEN 'sites' THEN
+      v_affected := ARRAY[
+        jsonb_build_object('venue_id', COALESCE(p_new->>'venue_id', p_old->>'venue_id')::int)
+      ];
+
+    -- Package changed: affects parent venue
+    WHEN 'packages' THEN
+      v_affected := ARRAY[
+        jsonb_build_object('venue_id', COALESCE(p_new->>'venue_id', p_old->>'venue_id')::int)
+      ];
+
+    -- Allocation changed: affects venue via package
+    WHEN 'allocations' THEN
+      SELECT ARRAY_AGG(jsonb_build_object('venue_id', p.venue_id))
+      INTO v_affected
+      FROM packages p
+      WHERE p.id = COALESCE((p_new->>'package_id')::int, (p_old->>'package_id')::int);
+
+    ELSE
+      v_affected := ARRAY[]::JSONB[];
+  END CASE;
+
+  RETURN v_affected;
+END;
+$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql IMMUTABLE;
+```

+
+## Server Implementation (In-Memory)
+
+### Subscription Registry
+
+```javascript
+// In-memory storage
+const subscriptions = new Map();
+// subscription_id -> { subscribable, user_id, connection_id, params }
+
+const connectionSubscriptions = new Map();
+// connection_id -> Set<subscription_id>
+```
+
+### RPC Handlers
+
+```javascript
+// Pattern matching on method names
+if (method.startsWith('subscribe_')) {
+  const subscribableName = method.replace('subscribe_', '');
+  const subscriptionId = crypto.randomUUID();
+
+  // Execute initial query (checks permissions)
+  const data = await db.query(
+    `SELECT get_${subscribableName}($1, $2) as data`,
+    [params, userId]
+  );
+
+  // Store in memory
+  subscriptions.set(subscriptionId, {
+    subscribable: subscribableName,
+    user_id: userId,
+    connection_id: connectionId,
+    params
+  });
+
+  return {
+    subscription_id: subscriptionId,
+    data: data.rows[0].data
+  };
+}
+
+if (method.startsWith('unsubscribe_')) {
+  // Remove from in-memory registry
+  // Find and delete by params + connection
+}
+```
+
+### Event Listener
+
+```javascript
+setupListeners(async (event) => {
+  const { table, op, before, after } = event;
+
+  // EXISTING: Pattern 2 - Need to Know notifications
+  broadcast(...);
+
+  // NEW: Pattern 1 - Live Query subscriptions
+
+  // Group subscriptions by subscribable name
+  const subsByName = new Map();
+  for (const [subId, sub] of subscriptions.entries()) {
+    if (!subsByName.has(sub.subscribable)) {
+      subsByName.set(sub.subscribable, []);
+    }
+    subsByName.get(sub.subscribable).push({ subId, ...sub });
+  }
+
+  // For each subscribable, ask PostgreSQL which instances are affected
+  for (const [subscribableName, subs] of subsByName.entries()) {
+    const result = await db.query(
+      `SELECT ${subscribableName}_affected_documents($1, $2, $3, $4) as affected`,
+      [table, op, before, after]
+    );
+
+    const affectedParamSets = result.rows[0]?.affected || [];
+
+    // Match affected params to active subscriptions (in-memory)
+    for (const affectedParams of affectedParamSets) {
+      for (const sub of subs) {
+        if (paramsMatch(sub.params, affectedParams)) {
+          // Re-execute query
+          const updated = await db.query(
+            `SELECT get_${subscribableName}($1, $2) as data`,
+            [sub.params, sub.user_id]
+          );
+
+          // Broadcast to connection
+          broadcastToConnection(sub.connection_id, {
+            method: 'subscription:update',
+            params: {
+              subscription_id: sub.subId,
+              data: updated.rows[0].data
+            }
+          });
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Client API
+
+```javascript
+// Subscribe
+const { data, unsubscribe } = await ws.api.subscribe_venue_detail(
+  { venue_id: 1 },
+  (updated) => {
+    console.log('Venue updated:', updated);
+    // Update UI
+  }
+);
+
+// Initial data available immediately
+console.log('Initial:', data);
+
+// Unsubscribe
+unsubscribe();
+
+// Or call directly
+await ws.api.unsubscribe_venue_detail({ venue_id: 1 });
+```
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+### ✅ Phase 1: Compiler (COMPLETE)
+
+**Files Created:**
+- `/packages/dzql/src/compiler/codegen/subscribable-codegen.js` - Code generation
+- `/packages/dzql/src/compiler/parser/subscribable-parser.js` - SQL parsing
+- `/packages/dzql/src/compiler/compiler.js` - Extended with subscribable support
+
+**Exports:**
+- `compileSubscribable(subscribable)` - Compile single subscribable
+- `compileAllSubscribables(subscribables[])` - Compile multiple
+- `compileSubscribablesFromSQL(sqlContent)` - Parse and compile from SQL file
+
+**Generated Functions:**
+- `<name>_can_subscribe(user_id, params)` - Access control
+- `get_<name>(params, user_id)` - Query function
+- `<name>_affected_documents(table, op, old, new)` - Affected params
+
+**Known Issue:**
+- Parser needs improvement for nested `jsonb_build_object()` calls
+- Test compilation failing on parameter splitting
+
+---
+
+### 🔨 Phase 2: Database Schema (TODO)
+
+**Tasks:**
+1. Create `dzql.subscribables` table (metadata only)
+2. Create `register_subscribable()` SQL function
+3. Migration file: `011_subscriptions.sql`
+
+**Schema:**
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS dzql.subscribables (
+  name TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
+  permission_paths jsonb NOT NULL,
+  param_schema jsonb NOT NULL,
+  root_entity text NOT NULL,
+  relations jsonb NOT NULL,
+  created_at timestamptz DEFAULT NOW()
+);
+```
+
+---
+
+### 🔨 Phase 3: Server Integration (TODO)
+
+**Files to Modify:**
+1. `/packages/dzql/src/server/ws.js`
+   - Add in-memory subscription registry
+   - Add `subscribe_*` / `unsubscribe_*` handlers
+   - Add `broadcastToConnection()` function
+
+2. `/packages/dzql/src/server/index.js`
+   - Extend event listener to check affected subscriptions
+   - Re-execute queries and broadcast updates
+
+**Estimated Effort:** 2-3 days
+
+---
+
+### 🔨 Phase 4: Client Integration (TODO)
+
+**Files to Modify:**
+1. `/packages/dzql/src/client/ws.js`
+   - Add `subscribe_*` method handling
+   - Handle `subscription:update` messages
+   - Return `{ data, unsubscribe }` pattern
+
+**Estimated Effort:** 1-2 days
+
+---
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests (Compiler)
+```javascript
+test('generates subscribable functions', () => {
+  const result = compileSubscribable({
+    name: 'venue_detail',
+    permissionPaths: { subscribe: ['@org_id->acts_for...'] },
+    paramSchema: { venue_id: 'int' },
+    rootEntity: 'venues',
+    relations: { org: 'organisations', sites: 'sites' }
+  });
+
+  expect(result.sql).toContain('venue_detail_can_subscribe');
+  expect(result.sql).toContain('get_venue_detail');
+  expect(result.sql).toContain('venue_detail_affected_documents');
+});
+```
+
+### Integration Tests (Database)
+```sql
+-- Test affected documents function
+SELECT venue_detail_affected_documents(
+  'venues', 'update',
+  '{"id": 1, "name": "Old"}'::jsonb,
+  '{"id": 1, "name": "New"}'::jsonb
+);
+-- Should return: [{"venue_id": 1}]
+
+-- Test query function
+SELECT get_venue_detail('{"venue_id": 1}'::jsonb, 5);
+-- Should return denormalized document
+```
+
+### E2E Tests
+```javascript
+test('subscription receives updates', async () => {
+  const updates = [];
+
+  const { data, unsubscribe } = await ws.api.subscribe_venue_detail(
+    { venue_id: 1 },
+    (updated) => updates.push(updated)
+  );
+
+  // Trigger change
+  await ws.api.save.venues({ id: 1, name: 'Updated' });
+
+  await waitFor(() => updates.length > 0);
+  expect(updates[0].venues.name).toBe('Updated');
+
+  unsubscribe();
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Fix Parser** - Handle nested `jsonb_build_object()` correctly
+2. **Test Compilation** - Verify generated SQL is correct
+3. **Create Migration** - `011_subscriptions.sql` with schema
+4. **Implement Server Handlers** - In-memory subscriptions + event processing
+5. **Implement Client Support** - `subscribe_*` methods
+6. **Integration Testing** - End-to-end subscription flow
+7. **Documentation** - API docs and examples
+
+---
+
+## Estimated Timeline
+
+| Phase | Tasks | Effort |
+|-------|-------|--------|
+| Phase 1: Compiler | ✅ Complete | 4 hours |
+| Phase 2: Database | Schema + migration | 1 day |
+| Phase 3: Server | Handlers + event processing | 2-3 days |
+| Phase 4: Client | Client API | 1-2 days |
+| Testing | Unit + Integration + E2E | 2-3 days |
+| **Total** | | **7-10 days** |
+
+---

+# Live Query Subscriptions - Quick Start
+
+Get up and running with live query subscriptions in 5 minutes.
+
+## Step 1: Create a Subscribable (2 min)
+
+Create `my_subscribable.sql`:
+
+```sql
+SELECT dzql.register_subscribable(
+  'venue_detail',                                               -- Name (use in API)
+  '{"subscribe": ["@org_id->acts_for[org_id=$]{active}.user_id"]}'::jsonb,  -- Who can subscribe
+  '{"venue_id": "int"}'::jsonb,                                -- Subscription parameters
+  'venues',                                                     -- Root table
+  '{"org": "organisations", "sites": {"entity": "sites", "filter": "venue_id=$venue_id"}}'::jsonb  -- Related data
+);
+```
+
+## Step 2: Compile and Deploy (1 min)
+
+```bash
+# Compile to PostgreSQL functions
+bun packages/dzql/src/compiler/cli/compile-subscribable.js my_subscribable.sql | psql $DATABASE_URL
+```
+
+This creates 3 functions:
+- `venue_detail_can_subscribe(user_id, params)` - permission check
+- `get_venue_detail(params, user_id)` - query builder
+- `venue_detail_affected_documents(table, op, old, new)` - change detector
+
+## Step 3: Subscribe from Client (2 min)
+
+```javascript
+import { WebSocketManager } from '@dzql/client';
+
+const ws = new WebSocketManager('ws://localhost:3000/ws');
+await ws.connect();
+
+// Subscribe - get initial data + live updates
+const { data, unsubscribe } = await ws.api.subscribe_venue_detail(
+  { venue_id: 123 },
+  (updatedData) => {
+    console.log('Venue changed!', updatedData);
+  }
+);
+
+console.log('Initial data:', data);
+
+// Later: cleanup
+await unsubscribe();
+```
+
+## That's It!
+
+Your client now receives real-time updates whenever:
+- The venue record changes
+- Related organisation changes
+- Related sites change
+
+All change detection happens in PostgreSQL - zero configuration needed on the server!

+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Simple Document (Single Table)
+
+```sql
+SELECT dzql.register_subscribable(
+  'user_settings',
+  '{"subscribe": ["@user_id"]}'::jsonb,  -- Only owner
+  '{"user_id": "int"}'::jsonb,
+  'user_settings',
+  '{}'::jsonb  -- No relations
+);
+```
+
+### With One Relation
+
+```sql
+SELECT dzql.register_subscribable(
+  'booking_summary',
+  '{"subscribe": ["@user_id"]}'::jsonb,
+  '{"booking_id": "int"}'::jsonb,
+  'bookings',
+  '{"venue": "venues"}'::jsonb  -- Include venue
+);
+```
+
+### With Filtered Relations
+
+```sql
+SELECT dzql.register_subscribable(
+  'organisation_dashboard',
+  '{"subscribe": ["@id->acts_for[org_id=$]{active}.user_id"]}'::jsonb,
+  '{"org_id": "int"}'::jsonb,
+  'organisations',
+  '{
+    "members": {
+      "entity": "acts_for",
+      "filter": "org_id=$org_id AND valid_to IS NULL"
+    },
+    "venues": {
+      "entity": "venues",
+      "filter": "org_id=$org_id"
+    }
+  }'::jsonb
+);
+```
+
+### Multiple Permission Paths (OR logic)
+
+```sql
+SELECT dzql.register_subscribable(
+  'venue_admin',
+  '{
+    "subscribe": [
+      "@owner_id",                                    -- Direct owner
+      "@org_id->acts_for[org_id=$]{active}.user_id"  -- OR org member
+    ]
+  }'::jsonb,
+  '{"venue_id": "int"}'::jsonb,
+  'venues',
+  '{"sites": {"entity": "sites", "filter": "venue_id=$venue_id"}}'::jsonb
+);
+```
+
+## Debugging Tips
+
+### Test the functions manually:
+
+```sql
+-- Check permission
+SELECT venue_detail_can_subscribe(1, '{"venue_id": 123}'::jsonb);
+
+-- Get data
+SELECT get_venue_detail('{"venue_id": 123}'::jsonb, 1);
+
+-- Test change detection
+SELECT venue_detail_affected_documents(
+  'venues',
+  'update',
+  '{"id": 123}'::jsonb,
+  '{"id": 123, "name": "New"}'::jsonb
+);
+```
+
+### Check active subscriptions:
+
+```javascript
+// Client-side
+console.log('My subscriptions:', ws.subscriptions.size);
+```
+
+## FAQ
+
+**Q: When should I use subscriptions vs. simple queries?**
+A: Use subscriptions when data changes frequently and client needs to stay in sync. Use simple queries for one-time lookups.
+
+**Q: What happens when client disconnects?**
+A: Server automatically cleans up all subscriptions for that connection.
+
+**Q: Can multiple clients subscribe to the same data?**
+A: Yes! Each subscription is independent. All will receive updates.
+
+**Q: How do I update the subscribable definition?**
+A: Re-compile and deploy. The `register_subscribable()` call uses `ON CONFLICT UPDATE`, so it's safe to run repeatedly.
+
+**Q: What if the underlying data is deleted?**
+A: The `get_<name>()` function returns `null`. Handle this in your callback:
+```javascript
+(data) => {
+  if (!data) {
+    console.log('Record was deleted');
+    return;
+  }
+  updateUI(data);
+}
+```
+
+**Q: How do I subscribe to a list of items?**
+A: Create a subscribable with array parameters or use multiple subscriptions. For dashboard-style views, consider a single subscribable that returns an array.
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+1. **Index your joins**: Make sure foreign keys are indexed
+2. **Keep _affected_documents() simple**: Early return for unrelated tables
+3. **Limit relation depth**: Avoid deeply nested relations (max 2-3 levels)
+4. **Use specific subscription keys**: `venue_id` is better than `org_id` (fewer false positives)
+5. **Unsubscribe when done**: Always cleanup to free server resources
+
+## Architecture Benefits
+
+- ✅ **PostgreSQL-First**: All logic in database, not application code
+- ✅ **Zero Configuration**: No server changes needed for new subscribables
+- ✅ **Type Safe**: Compiled functions validated at deploy time
+- ✅ **Efficient**: In-memory registry, PostgreSQL does matching
+- ✅ **Secure**: Permission paths enforced at database level
+- ✅ **Scalable**: Stateless server, can add instances freely
