Subject: [PATCH 03/25] test(native): set the seeded analysis parity floors to
 their exact counts

The legacy branch's cast-constant template shifts the template rotation, so the fast CTE-recovery floor is 39. Every seeded CTE-recovery and legacy-analysis floor in the parity cases is now its exact deterministic count.

Subject: [PATCH 04/25] fix(native): reconcile legacy analysis with shared
 analyses and session facts

Main's finished-session facts read the NativeEnrichment lineage variant, which the
legacy branch renamed to NativeFacts. Native legacy analyses now keep session facts
like other native analyses, and the Python-analysed facts case uses a model that
still defers. The shared-analysis parity test passes inference profiles.

Subject: [PATCH 05/25] feat(native): make native analysis the default compiler
 path

The type system, model analysis, semantic checks, contracts, fast lineage
facts, SQL-test glue and project assembly stages move from the preview tier
to shipped, so an unset SQLBUILD_COMPILER_ENGINE runs them natively.
SQLBUILD_COMPILER_ENGINE=python remains the oracle.

Tests that expected only native-preview to answer these seams now expect
both native engines to, and the shipped differential requires analysis
coverage.

Subject: [PATCH 06/25] test(native): record default-engine analysis in the
 allow-list and perf guard

make compiler-baselines now records the shipped native engine answering the
analysis stages exactly as native-preview does; goldens are unchanged. The
same-runner edit guard accepts analysis cache bypasses, which native model
analysis reports instead of misses, as proof that an edit was analysed.

Subject: [PATCH 07/25] perf(native): skip the set-operation regex when no
 keyword can match

Native analysis requests searched every model's SQL with a case-insensitive
regex. An upper-cased substring prefilter, which every match must pass,
skips the search for most models; a generated test matches Python's search.

Subject: [PATCH 08/25] feat(native): cache native model analyses in the shared
 native store

Native model analysis now reads and fills one content-addressed store,
model-analyses.bin, next to the other native stores. Each key covers the
model's whole session request, the session-wide request, and the types,
nullability, closed shapes and catalog schema of every relation the model
names; native legacy analyses also require the digest of every relation they
read. The store environment adds the build identity and Python's analysis
cache identity: inference profile, versions, target, vars and known
declarations. Python's answers and failed analyses are never stored, and an
unreadable store opens empty. Hits replay the catalog changes an uncached
batch makes, so output equals --no-cache.

Large batches are prepared in chunks while the previous chunk is analysed,
and member keys, sharing and diagnostics decode run on the analysis pool.

Subject: [PATCH 09/25] perf(native): send each source and SQL test file's text
 to metadata checks once

Every source and SQL test carried its whole file's text into the native
metadata checks, so a large sources file crossed once per source. Rows now
name a file by index into one list of texts, shared natively. The semantic
completion counts follow the earlier change that keeps native legacy
analyses' session facts.

Subject: [PATCH 10/25] test(native): prove native analysis cache invalidation
 and uncached equality

An E2E test compiles twice with the native analysis store and checks each
change misses exactly the models it affects, an unreadable store misses
everything, and the incremental output equals --no-cache. The Python cache
sabotage case now pins the Python engine, whose cache it breaks.

The same-runner performance comparison checks the head's last warm and edit
compile against an uncached compile of the same project, and no longer
accepts analysis cache bypasses as cached runs.

Subject: [PATCH 11/25] perf(native): reuse exact shared analyses across native
 analysis batches

The native session analysed every shared query again in each wave, while
Python's binding catalog remembers exact, fully projected shared results and
projects them onto later members with the same complete native input. The
session now keeps the same memo, keyed as Python keys it, and remembers no
result with binding diagnostics, which are located in their own member's SQL.

Cache keys digest each relation's facts once per wave, and the set-operation
search is tried only at offsets where a keyword can start. Tests show every
relation fact reaches its digest and the reading model's key.

The same-runner phase gates compared python against native-preview; native is
now the default engine for these phases, so the gates compare it instead.

Subject: [PATCH 13/25] perf(native): analyse large waves in chunks and key
 shared results by digest

Shared-result keys held each member's whole shared-query identity as text, so
a 10,000-model wave kept hundreds of megabytes of keys; they are now digests,
the query identity hashed once per shared query. Large waves are analysed in
chunks of about 512 members, a shared query's members together, so later
chunks reuse earlier chunks' exact results and each native response is freed
before the next.

Subject: [PATCH 16/25] test(native): pin Python-internals tests to the Python
 engine

With analysis shipped, the default engine no longer runs Python's analysis
cache, dataflow scheduler, shared-result memo, batched preparation or
expression memo. Tests that observe those internals now pin the Python
engine through a shared fixture. The target-writer spies and the planning
failure helper follow the native SQL-test planner the default engine uses,
and the promotion parity test counts calls only after its base compile.

Subject: [PATCH 17/25] refactor(native): meet the static checks for the native
 analysis cache

Key hashing helpers are KeyHasher methods, varint limits are named constants,
chunk analysis takes one input struct and returns its results, and the stub and
source renames are named functions. The analysis schedule joins the mappings
helpers and the set-operation search joins the syntax checks, keeping both
helper containers within their module limits. Cache tests use case tables,
shared helpers and expected outcomes. The phase-gate seam test asserts the
planned counts it collects, and comments move into docstrings.

Subject: [PATCH 18/25] test(native): guard the text the dense semantic
 metadata request carries

Each dense size now also compiles in process and checks that the native
semantic metadata request carries no more file text than the project holds.
Copying a sources file's text once per source, as before the file-text
dedupe, sends about 188 million characters for a 1,000-model project with
11.8 million, and the guard fails.

Subject: [PATCH 19/25] test(native): align cache and memory guards with native
 analysis

Native analysis serves unchanged models from per-model entries, so warm and
edit compiles report entry hits instead of batch hits, and the build no
longer writes the Python analysis SQLite cache. Memory budgets rise where
native analysis holds more at peak: lineage at 3k to 1 GiB, dag at 3k to
1 GiB, and 10k fresh compiles to 2.5 GiB.

Subject: [PATCH 21/25] fix(native): store natively answered legacy and failed
 model analyses

A model whose compact analysis asked for the legacy fallback carries that
request as a logged failure, and the session marked every model with a logged
failure uncacheable. Models the native legacy analysis then answered, and
analyses that failed outright, were analysed again on every compile. Both are
now stored like other native outcomes; only Python's answers stay uncached.

Subject: [PATCH 22/25] perf(native): chain relation-table digests instead of
 rehashing every wave

A native legacy analysis is keyed on every relation's types and nullability,
and each wave with a stored legacy outcome digested both whole tables again.
Shape tables, which only ever gain entries, now keep a digest chained over
their insertions, so the whole-table digest costs two hashes. The stored
format is bumped, so earlier entries miss once.
