Two commits: the derivation, then the seam that carries it to query time.

  • relationMap() / relationsFor() / relationNamed()belongsTo from an entity's own references() columns, hasMany from the inbound ones. No second declaration syntax, ever: a hasMany: […] init key would be a copy of a fact the foreign key already states, free to drift from the constraint the migration emits. Names come off the key (authorIdauthor); when two want one name, every member of that group takes its long form, so declaring a second foreign key never renames the first.
  • Relations reach the registry through RegistryEntry.references() — the design fork the slice file left open. Resolved records, not the "<table>.<column>" string: that string carries physical names and a traversal reads row properties, so parsing it back would be a second, lossy resolver. ColumnDescription.references is now rendered from the records, so the migration's reading and the traversal's cannot disagree. A method rather than a field because a thunk may point at an entity two modules of an import cycle have not finished evaluating.
  • X_PRELOAD_UNKNOWN_RELATION carries the declared names in its fix — a relation is derived, so there is no schema file listing them to go and read. An entity with no foreign key at all gets the declaration to write instead of an empty list to pick from.
  • 24 tests across relations.test.ts (derivation, self-reference, composite-key join table, money, target outside the set, every collision tier) and the new relation-map.test.ts (entry and entity read one foreign key, the memo and its invalidation by a late registration, the lookup and both refusals).

Gate: bun run verify 12/17 with the 5 honest skips; reference-app gate 10/17, 7 pinned — both unchanged. Nothing consumes the map yet; a preload is the next slice.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automatic relationship discovery from foreign-key declarations, including belongsTo and hasMany relationships.

    • Added resolved foreign-key reference details to entity metadata and descriptions.
    • Added clear errors and available-name suggestions for unknown relationships.
  • Documentation

    • Documented relationship derivation, naming rules, supported key types, and error handling.

- new relations.ts: relationsOf(entities) derives belongsTo from an
  entity's own references() columns and hasMany from the inbound ones,
  so the FK already declared IS the relation — no second syntax
- thunk resolution moves to referenceBinding() in column.ts, one place
  the DDL projection and the map both read
- names come off the key (authorId -> author); a contested name is
  taken by every member of the group in long form, so declaration order
  never renames an existing relation; what two tiers cannot separate is
  X_INVARIANT_VIOLATED naming both columns
- 14 tests: both kinds, self-reference, composite-key join table,
  money, target outside the set, every collision tier

- RegistryEntry gains references(): the resolved foreign keys, both ends
  named. A method, not a field — a references() thunk may point at an
  entity two modules of an import cycle have not finished evaluating
- ColumnDescription.references is now rendered from those records, so the
  "<table>.<column>" string a migration reads and the record a traversal
  reads cannot disagree; the string is written, never parsed back
- relationMap() derives the whole registry and memoises against a
  registry generation every registration bumps, so a schema module
  imported late rebuilds the map instead of being missed by it;
  relationsOf(entries) is the same derivation over a named subset
- relationNamed() refuses an unknown name with X_PRELOAD_UNKNOWN_RELATION
  listing the declared ones — a relation is derived, so no file lists them
- 10 tests: entry and entity read one foreign key, the memo and its
  invalidation, the lookup and both refusals

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

You’ve reached a temporary PR review limit under our Fair Usage Limits Policy.

Your recent review volume is higher than typical usage, so adaptive limits are currently applied.

Next review available in: 46 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The entity package now resolves foreign-key metadata through the registry and derives deterministic belongsTo and hasMany relations. It adds relation lookup APIs, generation-based memoization, collision validation, and structured unknown-relation errors.

Changes

Entity relation discovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolved reference contracts and registry wiring
packages/entity/src/column.ts, packages/entity/src/describe.ts, packages/entity/src/entity.ts, packages/entity/src/registry.ts, packages/entity/src/dsl.test.ts, packages/entity/src/relation-map.test.ts
Entities and registry entries now expose resolved foreign-key references. Column descriptions render the same reference data.
Relation derivation and registry caching
packages/entity/src/relations.ts, packages/entity/src/relations.test.ts, packages/entity/src/relation-map.test.ts
The package derives named belongsTo and hasMany relations, validates collisions, supports composite and self-referential keys, and memoizes maps by registry generation.
Public exports and unknown-relation reporting
packages/entity/src/errors.ts, packages/entity/src/index.ts, framework.manifest.json, wiki/Error-Codes.md, packages/entity/README.md, packages/entity/CLAUDE.md, CHANGELOG.md
The package exports relation helpers and adds X_PRELOAD_UNKNOWN_RELATION with available relation names and corrective guidance.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to d4672

The PR adds query-time relation discovery, but the current implementation repeatedly scans relation candidates and emits error fixes that users cannot directly apply. This creates bounded performance overhead and makes invalid-relation errors harder to remediate; the changes are mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Comment thread packages/entity/src/errors.ts Outdated
Comment thread packages/entity/src/relations.ts
- `X_PRELOAD_UNKNOWN_RELATION`'s fix is a `relationNamed()` call on a
  relation that exists, the rest named after it — `preload()` is not a
  shipped API and `preload('<name>') with one of: …` was prose. An entity
  with no foreign key gets `x entities list --json`, because the
  declaration it needs names a target the error cannot know.
- `relationsOf()` files each foreign key under both ends in one pass
  instead of rescanning every key per entity — the whole schema squared,
  paid again on the first read after every late registration. Same
  outbound-then-inbound order, so collisions resolve identically.
