Audit the Comet implementation of the `$ARGUMENTS` expression for correctness and test coverage.

## Overview

This audit covers:

1. Spark implementation across versions 3.4.3, 3.5.8, and 4.0.1
2. Comet Scala serde implementation
3. Comet Rust / DataFusion implementation
4. Existing test coverage (SQL file tests and Scala tests)
5. Gap analysis and test recommendations

---

## Step 1: Locate the Spark Implementations

Clone specific Spark version tags (use shallow clones to avoid polluting the workspace). Only clone a version if it is not already present.

```bash
set -eu -o pipefail
for tag in v3.4.3 v3.5.8 v4.0.1; do
  dir="/tmp/spark-${tag}"
  if [ ! -d "$dir" ]; then
    git clone --depth 1 --branch "$tag" https://github.com/apache/spark.git "$dir"
  fi
done
```

### Find the expression class in each Spark version

Search the Catalyst SQL expressions source:

```bash
for tag in v3.4.3 v3.5.8 v4.0.1; do
  dir="/tmp/spark-${tag}"
  echo "=== $tag ==="
  find "$dir/sql/catalyst/src/main/scala" -name "*.scala" | \
    xargs grep -l "case class $ARGUMENTS\b\|object $ARGUMENTS\b" 2>/dev/null
done
```

If the expression is not found in catalyst, also check core:

```bash
for tag in v3.4.3 v3.5.8 v4.0.1; do
  dir="/tmp/spark-${tag}"
  echo "=== $tag ==="
  find "$dir/sql" -name "*.scala" | \
    xargs grep -l "case class $ARGUMENTS\b\|object $ARGUMENTS\b" 2>/dev/null
done
```

### Read the Spark source for each version

For each Spark version, read the expression file and note:

- The `eval`, `nullSafeEval`, and `doGenCode` / `doGenCodeSafe` methods
- The `inputTypes` and `dataType` fields (accepted input types, return type)
- Null handling strategy (`nullable`, `nullSafeEval`)
- ANSI mode behavior (`ansiEnabled`, `failOnError`)
- Special cases, guards, `require` assertions, and runtime exceptions
- Any constants or configuration the expression reads

### Compare across Spark versions

Produce a concise diff summary of what changed between:

- 3.4.3 → 3.5.8
- 3.5.8 → 4.0.1

Pay attention to:

- New input types added or removed
- Behavior changes for edge cases (null, overflow, empty, boundary)
- New ANSI mode branches
- New parameters or configuration
- Breaking API changes that Comet must shim

---

## Step 2: Locate the Spark Tests

```bash
for tag in v3.4.3 v3.5.8 v4.0.1; do
  dir="/tmp/spark-${tag}"
  echo "=== $tag ==="
  find "$dir/sql" -name "*.scala" -path "*/test/*" | \
    xargs grep -l "$ARGUMENTS" 2>/dev/null
done
```

Read the relevant Spark test files and produce a list of:

- Input types covered
- Edge cases exercised (null, empty, overflow, negative, boundary values, special characters, etc.)
- ANSI mode tests
- Error cases

This list will be the reference for the coverage gap analysis in Step 5.

---

## Step 3: Locate the Comet Implementation

### Scala serde

```bash
# Find the serde object
grep -r "$ARGUMENTS" spark/src/main/scala/org/apache/comet/serde/ --include="*.scala" -l
grep -r "$ARGUMENTS" spark/src/main/scala/org/apache/comet/ --include="*.scala" -l
```

Read the serde implementation and check:

- Which Spark versions the serde handles
- Whether `getSupportLevel` is implemented and accurate
- Whether all input types are handled
- Whether any types are explicitly marked `Unsupported`

### Shims

```bash
find spark/src/main -name "CometExprShim.scala" | xargs grep -l "$ARGUMENTS" 2>/dev/null
```

If shims exist, read them and note any version-specific handling.

### Rust / DataFusion implementation

```bash
# Search for the function in native/spark-expr
grep -r "$ARGUMENTS" native/spark-expr/src/ --include="*.rs" -l
grep -r "$ARGUMENTS" native/core/src/ --include="*.rs" -l
```

If the expression delegates to DataFusion, find it there too. Set `$DATAFUSION_SRC` to a local DataFusion checkout, or fall back to searching the cargo registry:

```bash
if [ -n "${DATAFUSION_SRC:-}" ]; then
  grep -r "$ARGUMENTS" "$DATAFUSION_SRC" --include="*.rs" -l 2>/dev/null | head -10
else
  # Fall back to cargo registry (may include unrelated crates)
  grep -r "$ARGUMENTS" ~/.cargo/registry/src/*/datafusion* --include="*.rs" -l 2>/dev/null | head -10
fi
```

Read the Rust implementation and check:

- Null handling (does it propagate nulls correctly?)
- Overflow and underflow handling (returns `Err` vs panics)
- Type dispatch (does it handle all types that Spark supports?)
- ANSI / fail-on-error mode

---

## Step 4: Locate Existing Comet Tests

### SQL file tests

```bash
# Find SQL test files for this expression
find spark/src/test/resources/sql-tests/expressions/ -name "*.sql" | \
  xargs grep -l "$ARGUMENTS" 2>/dev/null

# Also check if there's a dedicated file
find spark/src/test/resources/sql-tests/expressions/ -name "*$(echo $ARGUMENTS | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')*"
```

Read every SQL test file found and list:

- Table schemas and data values used
- Queries exercised
- Query modes used (`query`, `spark_answer_only`, `tolerance`, `ignore`, `expect_error`)
- Any ConfigMatrix directives

### Scala tests

```bash
grep -r "$ARGUMENTS" spark/src/test/scala/ --include="*.scala" -l
```

Read the relevant Scala test files and list:

- Input types covered
- Edge cases exercised
- Whether constant folding is disabled for literal tests

---

## Step 5: Gap Analysis

Compare the Spark test coverage (Step 2) against the Comet test coverage (Step 4). Produce a structured gap report:

### Coverage matrix

For each of the following dimensions, note whether it is covered in Comet tests or missing:

| Dimension                                                                                              | Spark tests it | Comet SQL test | Comet Scala test | Gap? |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------- | -------------- | ---------------- | ---- |
| Column reference argument(s)                                                                           |                |                |                  |      |
| Literal argument(s)                                                                                    |                |                |                  |      |
| NULL input                                                                                             |                |                |                  |      |
| Empty string / empty array / empty map                                                                 |                |                |                  |      |
| Array/map with NULL elements                                                                           |                |                |                  |      |
| Zero, negative zero, negative values (numeric)                                                         |                |                |                  |      |
| Underflow, overflow                                                                                    |                |                |                  |      |
| Boundary values (INT_MIN, INT_MAX, Long.MinValue, minimum positive, etc.)                              |                |                |                  |      |
| NaN, Infinity, -Infinity, subnormal (float/double)                                                     |                |                |                  |      |
| Multibyte / special UTF-8 (composed vs decomposed, e.g. `é` U+00E9 vs `e` + U+0301, non-Latin scripts) |                |                |                  |      |
| ANSI mode (failOnError=true)                                                                           |                |                |                  |      |
| Non-ANSI mode (failOnError=false)                                                                      |                |                |                  |      |
| All supported input types                                                                              |                |                |                  |      |
| Parquet dictionary encoding (ConfigMatrix)                                                             |                |                |                  |      |
| Cross-version behavior differences                                                                     |                |                |                  |      |

### Implementation gaps

Also review the Comet implementation (Step 3) against the Spark behavior (Step 1):

- Are there input types that Spark supports but `getSupportLevel` returns `Unsupported` without comment?
- Are there behavioral differences that are NOT marked `Incompatible` but should be?
- Are there behavioral differences between Spark versions that the Comet implementation does not account for (missing shim)?
- Does the Rust implementation match the Spark behavior for all edge cases?

---

## Step 6: Recommendations

Summarize findings as a prioritized list.

### High priority

Issues where Comet may silently produce wrong results compared to Spark.

### Medium priority

Missing test coverage for edge cases that could expose bugs.

### Low priority

Minor gaps, cosmetic improvements, or nice-to-have tests.

---

## Step 7: Offer to Implement Missing Tests

After presenting the gap analysis, ask the user:

> I found the following missing test cases. Would you like me to implement them?
>
> - [list each missing test case]
>
> I can add them as SQL file tests in `spark/src/test/resources/sql-tests/expressions/<category>/$ARGUMENTS.sql`
> (or as Scala tests in `CometExpressionSuite` for cases that require programmatic setup).

If the user says yes, implement the missing tests following the SQL file test format described in
`docs/source/contributor-guide/sql-file-tests.md`. Prefer SQL file tests over Scala tests.

### SQL file test template

-- ConfigMatrix: parquet.enable.dictionary=false,true

statement
CREATE TABLE test_$ARGUMENTS(...) USING parquet

statement
INSERT INTO test_$ARGUMENTS VALUES
  (...),
  (NULL)

-- column argument
query
SELECT $ARGUMENTS(col) FROM test_$ARGUMENTS

-- literal arguments
query
SELECT $ARGUMENTS('value'), $ARGUMENTS(''), $ARGUMENTS(NULL)
```

### Verify the tests pass

After implementing tests, tell the user how to run them:

```bash
./mvnw test -DwildcardSuites="CometSqlFileTestSuite" -Dsuites="org.apache.comet.CometSqlFileTestSuite $ARGUMENTS" -Dtest=none
```

---

## Step 8: Update the Expression Audit Log

After completing the audit (whether or not tests were added), append a row to the audit log at
`docs/source/contributor-guide/expression-audit-log.md`.

The row should include:

- Expression name
- Spark versions checked (e.g. 3.4.3, 3.5.8, 4.0.1)
- Today's date
- A brief summary of findings (behavioral differences, bugs found/fixed, tests added, known incompatibilities)

---

## Output Format

Present the audit as:

1. **Expression Summary** - Brief description of what `$ARGUMENTS` does, its input/output types, and null behavior
2. **Spark Version Differences** - Summary of any behavioral or API differences across Spark 3.4.3, 3.5.8, and 4.0.1
3. **Comet Implementation Notes** - Summary of how Comet implements this expression and any concerns
4. **Coverage Gap Analysis** - The gap table from Step 5, plus implementation gaps
5. **Recommendations** - Prioritized list from Step 6
6. **Offer to add tests** - The prompt from Step 7

## Tone and Style

- Write in clear, concise prose
- Use backticks around code references (function names, file paths, class names, types, config keys)
- Avoid robotic or formulaic language
- Be constructive and acknowledge what is already well-covered before raising gaps
- Avoid em dashes and semicolons; use separate sentences instead
