+# Task: Efficiency round 2b — carbonah E002 (N+1) + E003 (unbounded)
+
+## Outcome
+Every carbonah E002/E003 finding in `tina4_python` is investigated. Genuine N+1 /
+unbounded hot-path queries are fixed (batch/eager, bound/paginate) with a result +
+query-count characterization test. Reviewed false positives and intentional patterns
+are annotated `# carbonah:ignore <CODE>` with a one-line reason, so the reported count
+drops honestly with zero behaviour change. Branch `refactor/efficiency-round2b` off
+`origin/v3`, one PR to `v3`, NOT merged.
+
+## Investigation (carbonah 0.3.3 — before: E002 9, E003 1)
+
+| # | File:line | Rule | Verdict | Reason |
+|---|-----------|------|---------|--------|
+| 1 | database/adapter.py:770 | E002 | FALSE POS | `execute_many` chunk loop — the ANTI-N+1: one round-trip per collapsed multi-row VALUES chunk (200 rows → 1 statement on SQLite), not per row |
+| 2 | database/adapter.py:783 | E002 | INTENTIONAL | row-at-a-time fallback for statements `build_batch_inserts` cannot collapse safely (RETURNING / upsert / Firebird / ragged) |
+| 3 | dev_admin/__init__.py:1029 | E002 | FALSE POS | admin SQL console runs the developer's own multi-statement batch (split on `;`); each is distinct arbitrary SQL, not a data-driven N+1 |
+| 4 | migration/runner.py:275 | E002 | INTENTIONAL | one-time v2→v3 backfill; per-row UPDATE+commit isolates failures (a failed row aborts the whole PostgreSQL txn) and keeps log-and-continue. Cold path, runs once |
+| 5 | migration/runner.py:829 | E002 | INTENTIONAL | sequential DDL statements from a migration file — ordered, distinct, cannot be JOINed |
+| 6 | migration/runner.py:898 | E002 | INTENTIONAL | rollback DDL statements — same as apply |
+| 7 | migration/runner.py:906 | E002 | INTENTIONAL | one DELETE per rolled-back migration, each inside its own per-migration transaction (down + delete atomic together) |
+| 8 | orm/model.py:1363 | E002 | INTENTIONAL | one spatial-index DDL per PointField at CREATE TABLE — DDL, not a data N+1 |
+| 9 | session/__init__.py:229 | E002 | FALSE POS | race-safe CREATE TABLE; the `while` is a bounded retry on a concurrent-create collision, executes once on success |
+| 10 | dev_admin/__init__.py:1108 | E003 | FALSE POS | single-row lookup by primary key via `fetch_one` (`WHERE id = ?` → at most one row); a LIMIT is redundant |
+
+Genuine, safely-fixable findings: **0**. All 9 E002 + 1 E003 are heuristic false
+positives (DDL-in-loop, the batch primitive itself, a retry loop, an arbitrary-statement
+executor, a PK lookup) or behaviour-locked cold-path writes. Fixing any would regress
+behaviour (esp. #4 PostgreSQL failure isolation) for no real hot-path win — refused.
+
+## Scope
+- [x] Characterization tests (real SQLite, no mocks): result + query-count — mutation-proven
+- [x] Annotate all 10 with `# carbonah:ignore <CODE>` + reason
+- [x] carbonah lint: E002 9→0, E003 1→0 (E004 12→11 same-loop side effect, see below)
+- [x] carbonah measure: no regression (APlus both; SCI within ~2% noise)
+- [x] tina4 metrics: unaffected (no new offender; comments add no CC)
+- [x] affected subsystem suites green (SQLite local + Postgres/MySQL/MSSQL on lab)
+
+## Tests (written first, real — no mocks, positive + negative)
+- [x] execute_many collapsible: build_batch_inserts returns 1 stmt for 200 rows (query-count) + all 200 land, affected_rows/data correct (result)
+- [x] execute_many fallback: RETURNING not collapsed (returns []), rows still land via the fallback loop
+- [x] migration apply + rollback on real SQLite: end state correct
+
+## Results
+- carbonah lint (carbonah 0.3.3): **E002 9→0, E003 1→0**. E004 12→11 — the session
+  `_ensure_table` E002 annotation also clears carbonah's coupled "polling loop" E004
+  for that same bounded 5-attempt backoff (also a false positive). All other rules
+  unchanged (C001 2, D003 2, E001 3, E004 11, E005 29, H001 4).
+- carbonah measure (batch workload, 3 runs each): branch median SCI 0.00022239 vs
+  baseline 0.00021779 — within noise; grade APlus both.
+- Local SQLite: characterization (4, mutation-proven) + 117 batch/migration/orm tests green.
+- Lab (real Postgres + MySQL + MSSQL): 81 passed, 4 skipped (`[needs:firebird]`, no live Firebird).
+- Production diff is 100% comments (verified) → zero runtime behaviour change.
+
+## Bugs
+- (none — comment-only change; no runtime behaviour touched)
+
+## Commits
+- 4f92d3e  test: characterization net for efficiency round 2b (E002/E003)
+- 77d2e2b  perf: annotate carbonah E002/E003 false positives in tina4_python

+"""Characterization net for efficiency round 2b (carbonah E002/E003).
+
+carbonah's N+1 heuristic (E002) flags every ``execute()`` inside a loop. Two of
+those loops live in the batch-write primitive itself, so these tests pin the
+behaviour carbonah misreads and prove the anti-N+1 claim with a REAL result AND
+a real query count — no mocks, real SQLite.
+
+* ``execute_many`` on a collapsible INSERT is the FIX for N+1: 200 rows collapse
+  into a SINGLE multi-row statement (the loop at adapter.py:770 runs once, not
+  200 times), and every row still lands with the right ``affected_rows``.
+* A statement ``build_batch_inserts`` cannot collapse (RETURNING) falls back to
+  the row-at-a-time loop (adapter.py:783) and still writes every row correctly.
+
+The migration apply + rollback path (runner.py loops carbonah flags) is pinned
+end-to-end so the DDL-in-loop annotations are backed by a real run.
