Two Dependabot PRs are stuck behind the same number. #35 raises the go directive to 1.26.0 in six modules, because golang.org/x/crypto v0.56.0 requires it -- x/crypto tracks the two most recent Go releases and 0.56 dropped 1.25. A module that says 1.26 cannot be built by the 1.25 this repository pins in two places, so that PR fails every Go job. #29 raises actions/setup-go to v7, which sets GOTOOLCHAIN=local. With that set, `go install golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck@latest` cannot quietly fetch a newer toolchain, and stops with golang.org/x/[email protected] requires go >= 1.26.0 (running go 1.25.14) Under setup-go v5 the same install succeeded by downloading 1.26 behind our backs, which is its own reason to be on 1.26 deliberately instead. So: security-scan's go-version and all eight Dockerfiles move together, 1.25 -> 1.26. Nothing else needs to. A newer toolchain builds an older directive happily, so this stands on its own before #35 lands, and the go.mod files stay where they are here. Checked by building rather than by reading: the api and ingest images both build on golang:1.26-alpine, and api, ingest and enterprise still `go build ./...` clean against their existing 1.25 directives.
api
Cairn OBS's query API: a single POST /query endpoint accepting either the
pipe syntax or raw SQL, compiled and routed across ClickHouse and Tantivy
by internal/querylang. Replaces Phase 0/1's two separate placeholder
endpoints (raw-SQL-only /query, free-text-only /search) — see
/docs/query-language-design.md for the grammar, IR, and routing design,
and /docs/query-language-reference.md for the user-facing syntax.
Why plain REST, not gRPC + REST gateway
PROJECT-SPEC.md pins the control plane to "Go, gRPC + REST gateway." This
service is plain net/http instead — a deliberate simplification, not a
change to the pinned stack. Wiring up a .proto service,
google.api.http annotations, and protoc-gen-grpc-gateway codegen for
one endpoint doesn't buy much at this size. api does speak gRPC
internally — to /search — this simplification is about the
public-facing surface only.
Endpoint
POST /query — body {"query": "...", "language": ""}, response
{"columns": [...], "rows": [[...], ...]} or {"error": "..."}.
queryis either pipe syntax (service=api | where status>=500 | stats count by host) or raw SQL (SELECT ...). Auto-detected by whether the query starts withSELECT(case-insensitive).languageoptionally overrides detection:"sql"or"spl". Exists for the rare case a pipe query legitimately starts with the literal word "select" as a bare search term.- Both syntaxes compile to the same
querylang/ir.Planand execute through the same code path — seeinternal/querylang/executorfor the four routing cases (pure ClickHouse; Tantivy prefilter + ClickHouse rows; Tantivy prefilter + ClickHouse aggregation; raw SQL passthrough).

searchclient.Dial connects to /search over plain TCP, no TLS — same
trust boundary as api's existing plain-TCP connection to ClickHouse.
mTLS in this project is specifically the agent↔ingest edge boundary, not
every internal hop.
Building & testing

# from the repo root, not api/
docker build -f api/Dockerfile -t cairnobs-api .
Testing notes
internal/queryapi's HTTP handler depends on ClickHouse and /search
only through the narrow interfaces querylang/executor defines
(SQLRunner, SearchClient), so routing, compilation, JSON encoding,
and error-status mapping are all unit-tested against fakes — no live
ClickHouse or /search instance needed, and the real lexer/parser/
planner run unmocked in these tests, only the backends are faked. See
internal/querylang's own package docs for how compilation and
execution are tested independently of each other. executor.ChRunner
(the reflection-based row scanning against ClickHouse's driver.Rows)
and internal/searchclient's actual gRPC dial are not unit-tested — the
former because faking driver.Rows fully would be significant
test-only scaffolding the driver's own docs say isn't meant to be
implemented by adopters; the latter because it's a thin wrapper with
nothing but wiring to test. Both are exercised end-to-end via the
docker-compose flow in /docs/phase-2-runbook.md.
