fix(db): count distinct profiles so the list and its total agree

[avionicharshit-byte]

getProfileList reads profiles FINAL, so it returns one row per profile. getProfileListCount next to it counts the raw table. profiles is a ReplacingMergeTree(last_seen_at), so an updated profile is still several rows until a merge collapses them, and the count includes all of them. the total comes out high, the page count with it, and the trailing pages are empty. that is #279, which does not reproduce on a quiet instance because there the merges keep up.

counting with uniqExact(id) rather than adding FINAL to the count, since #444 removed FINAL from the cohort path because its dedup cannot spill to disk on large projects.

measured on a local clickhouse, 60 profiles written twice each: count(id) says 120, uniqExact(id) says 60, the FINAL list returns 60.

the where clause is now shared by both queries so they cannot drift apart again, and both builders are exported so they can be tested, same shape as buildProfileMetricsSql. the count test fails on main.

not fixed here: with a filter or search on a column that changes between versions, an old row can still match when the current one does not. separate and larger change, not what #279 is about.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved profile counts to avoid duplicate entries when profiles have multiple versions.
  • Profile lists and their counts now apply consistent filtering, including project and cursor-based filters.
  • Improved reliability of profile retrieval and counting across supported database query scenarios.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for profile filtering, pagination, deduplication, project identifiers, and database query validity.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Profile list and count SQL generation now uses shared filters and separate exported builders. Count queries use uniqExact(id) without FINAL, while list queries retain FINAL and pagination. New tests validate SQL shape and conditional ClickHouse execution.

Changes

Profile list SQL

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared filters and SQL builders packages/db/src/services/profile.service.ts	Adds shared profile-list filtering and exported builders for list and count SQL. Count queries use uniqExact(id) without FINAL; list queries retain pagination, ordering, and FINAL.
Service integration and SQL validation packages/db/src/services/profile.service.ts, packages/db/src/services/profile-list-sql.test.ts	Service methods execute the exported builders. Tests validate filters, escaping, pagination, deduplicated counts, FINAL, and conditional ClickHouse EXPLAIN checks.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c9670

The PR corrects inflated profile totals by counting distinct IDs, but its new database queries bypass the repository's required ClickHouse query API and exact counting may increase memory use for high-cardinality projects. Merge should wait until the query construction is aligned with the repository API or explicitly accepted, with the resource impact acknowledged.
