…oducer Stack Encrypt can produce one EQL type because its ciphertext, equality and order encodings disagree about which kinds exist, and the mapping from a kind to a Rust type lives in stack-encrypt (Scalar, dynamic::Value) instead of vitaminc. EQL also cannot tell a Stack Encrypt column from a cipherstash-client one, so a query from one producer against the other's column matches nothing, silently. ADR-0002 records the decisions from the value-encodings RFC review: the new kinds and their frozen tags, one canonical form per kind for terms, term derivation moving into vitaminc-prf and a new vitaminc-ore, and EQL v4 as the v3 SQL emitted under a second name with "v": 4 envelopes, so Postgres keeps the two producers apart. The plan-builder plan defined "EQL v4" as a name for a Stack Encrypt payload in the v3 envelope and eql_v3 domains; it now points at the ADR.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The claim that Postgres refuses eql_v4_* vs eql_v3_* comparisons at plan time is unverified. All EQL domains are AS jsonb; when no operator matches the domain exactly, Postgres resolves operators on the base type, so a v4 query term against a v3 column can fall through to jsonb = jsonb and silently return no rows — the failure option 3 is meant to prevent. Worth a test (or softening the claim) before it is recorded as a decision.

The text order-term pipeline doesn't say whether case folding is simple or full, or whether it runs before or after mark stripping. Folding after NFD can emit non-NFD output (ß → ss), and different orderings give different bytes. The encoding is frozen once data is stored, so an implementer's choice becomes permanent — please pin it.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Refusing strings with unassigned code points also affects NFC equality, and no upgrade path is given when the Unicode pin moves. A string with a character added after Unicode 16 (e.g. newer emoji) would be rejected on write even for a plain TextEq column, and moving the pin changes the domain label and forces re-encryption.

"Truncated to microseconds" doesn't say whether it floors or truncates toward zero, or how it relates to Postgres rounding. For pre-1970 or boundary values the two give different microseconds, so equality against Postgres-rounded values can fail.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
BigInt maps to the smallest kind that holds it, so the stored kind depends on the value: in one column 200n becomes UInt8 and -1n Int8, and equality/order terms are computed per kind, so terms across values in the same column disagree. The signed/unsigned choice for non-negative values is also unspecified. The kind should come from the column's declared EQL type.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Removing the existing CLLW Bool order terms conflicts with the statements elsewhere that cipherstash-client's terms and cllw-ore's typed impls are unchanged. It's unclear whether cllw-ore drops its Bool impl (which would break stored v3 data) or only the new vitaminc-ore path does.

The Decimal row says NaN and ±Infinity are refused at encode time, but rust_decimal cannot represent them, so the sentence is dead as written. The real failure inputs (values outside Postgres numeric range, scale above 28) aren't specified and may be handled inconsistently.

The problem statement says the boolean family was blocked on encoding, but Bool ends up ciphertext-only in the decision, and EQL already ships eql_v3_boolean as storage-only. The problem and decision sections disagree, so a reader may expect searchable boolean domains from v4.

Round timestamps instead of truncating them
For timestamps with sub-microsecond precision, this canonicalization does not match PostgreSQL: PostgreSQL rounds when reducing timestamp precision rather than truncating (PostgreSQL timestamp implementation). For example, a value ending in .123456789 canonicalizes here to .123456, while PostgreSQL represents it as .123457; encrypting before versus after a PostgreSQL timestamp round trip would therefore derive different equality/order terms and silently miss the row. Define the canonical form using PostgreSQL-compatible rounding, including its behavior for negative timestamps.

Do not rely on domain names for producer isolation.
The generated v3 operators include overloads with jsonb. PostgreSQL resolves domain operands through their base type, so emitting the same SQL under eql_v4 does not prove that an eql_v4 operator rejects an eql_v3 domain. Keep the producer-tag check in each operator, or add a plan-time SQL test that proves the generated v4 DDL rejects this cross-version call.

Replace the exhaustive-match guarantee with the conformance-test guarantee.
vitaminc-prf and vitaminc-ore are separate crates from vitaminc-aead-value. Downstream matches on its #[non_exhaustive] enums must include a wildcard, so adding a variant will not make those matches fail to compile.

Summary
Stack Encrypt is the Rust encryption engine behind the Go SDK. Today it can produce only one of EQL's 51 encrypted column types (EQL is the SQL that lets Postgres store and search encrypted values). The numbers, dates, timestamps and decimals are blocked on undecided byte formats, not on code. This PR records those decisions as ADR-0002, a decision record that lives in the repo, so the work that follows has one written reference rather than a forum thread.
It also fixes a gap the decisions exposed. Columns written by Stack Encrypt and columns written by cipherstash-client (the engine behind the TypeScript SDK) look identical to Postgres, but their search terms never match. The ADR gives Stack Encrypt its own EQL name,
eql_v4, built from the same SQL, so Postgres refuses a mismatched query instead of silently returning no rows.Docs only. No code, package or published surface changes.
