When an export reaches any entry in TASK_NESTED_EXPORT_COLLECTIONS, this now executes a collection-group query for events, goal_history, artifact_refs, or continuation_checkpoints, but none of those collection groups has an explicit index in firestore.indexes.json; python3 backend/scripts/firestore_query_coverage.py --check-ratchet also reports this exact query as a new unsupported serving shape. In an environment without manually created indexes, the nested export query will fail instead of producing the archive, so register and deploy the required index-backed query shapes or retain a non-collection-group implementation.

Every nested export now performs new Firestore operations through the legacy database_client.db proxy, which bypasses the repository's required call-time client acquisition and leaves this helper without the injectable client seam used to verify project and query behavior. Obtain one client with get_firestore_client() at the call boundary (and expose the documented keyword-only injection seam where appropriate) and use it for the bounds and query.

Thanks @undivisible — the direction here is right: collapsing the per-parent subcollection streams in _iter_user_nested_subcollection into a single scoped collection-group query is a real N+1 fix, and deriving parent_id from path_parts[-3] matches the documented snapshot layout. A few verified items block merge right now.
1. The firestore-query-coverage ratchet fails on this head. I ran python3 backend/scripts/firestore_query_coverage.py --check-ratchet on this branch:
ERROR: new unsupported serving compound query shape(s): 88993717752d1c6f
The shape is backend/services/users/data_export.py:184 in _iter_user_nested_subcollection. Because child_collection_name is a parameter, the analyzer cannot bind it to a literal collection group, so the new serving query is classified unsupported, and the ratchet rejects new unsupported debt. The registry's own doctrine (_query_spec_index_requirements in backend/database/firestore_index_registry.py) already treats __name__ range filters as compound serving queries that must be registered. Preferred fix: restructure so each call site uses a literal collection-group id that can be registered as a FirestoreQuerySpec (query_scope='COLLECTION_GROUP', filters __name__ >= / __name__ <=) — a dated waiver entry also unblocks CI, but registration is the path that carries the index contract.
2. No index provisioning for the new query. firestore.indexes.json has no COLLECTION_GROUP-scope entries for events, goal_history, artifact_refs, or continuation_checkpoints (only memory_items has collection-group indexes today). A collection-group query with __name__ bounds needs that contract registered and the manifest regenerated (backend/scripts/generate_firestore_indexes.py); otherwise the export risks FAILED_PRECONDITION at request time in production. The green hermetic E2E can't prove this — the emulator does not enforce this index contract the way the server does.
3. Hygiene is failing on the PR body, not the code. product-invariants requires a citation because backend/services/users/data_export.py is a locked memory-invariant path. Paste the block the check prints into the PR body:
## Product invariants affected
- INV-MEM-3
4. Test gap in backend/tests/services/users/test_data_export.py. The rewritten mock asserts collection_group('events') is called and that parent_id parses from the path, but nothing asserts the two FieldFilter bounds are built from users/uid1/workstreams/ (plus the ' ' marker) through \uf8ff. Those bounds are the correctness-critical piece — they are what keeps the query inside one user's parent collection, and a wrong parent_path would silently widen the export across users. One assertion on the constructed bounds would guard it.
One behavior note, not blocking: a collection-group scan returns child documents even when the parent document no longer exists (orphaned subcollections), which the old parent-iteration skipped. For a portability export that is arguably more complete, but nested task_data rows can now appear under deleted parents — worth a conscious maintainer OK on this INV-MEM-3-locked file.
Once the query shape is registered, the index manifest regenerated, the INV-MEM-3 citation added to the body, and the bounds asserted in the test, this should be in good shape.

Thanks @undivisible — the follow-up commits are appreciated, and the core approach still holds: the scoped collection_group query in _iter_user_nested_subcollection (backend/services/users/data_export.py:179-199) is the right shape for the N+1, path_parts[-3] correctly recovers the owning parent, and the helper refactor (_yield_conversations_and_photos, _yield_task_data) is behavior-preserving on the final head, including the StopIteration.value photo-count threading (backend/services/users/data_export.py:326-332). A few verified items still block merge.
1. The ratchet was silenced, not satisfied (backend/scripts/firestore_query_coverage_baseline.json + backend/scripts/firestore_query_coverage_waivers.json). I ran python3 backend/scripts/firestore_query_coverage.py --format json against the head files: the new shape classifies as unsupported (collection_group: null, because the collection id is a parameter), and the report shows waived=0. The waiver entry cannot apply for two reasons: waivers only match raw_unregistered shapes, and the entry's query_id must equal the shape's 16-hex fingerprint — perf-export-n-plus-1 is not 88993717752d1c6f. What actually unblocks the ratchet is the appended fingerprint in the baseline's unsupported list — i.e. growing exactly the debt the check exists to reject (with main's baseline this head still errors: new unsupported serving compound query shape(s): 88993717752d1c6f). The registry already models __name__ range filters (e.g. the users [onboarding.completed ==, __name__ >] spec at backend/database/firestore_index_registry.py:630), so the established path is: restructure the call sites to literal collection-group ids (events, goal_history, artifact_refs, continuation_checkpoints), register them as FirestoreQuerySpecs with query_scope='COLLECTION_GROUP', and regenerate firestore.indexes.json. A baseline append plus an inert waiver isn't a mergeable state.
2. Hygiene still fails — the invariant IDs are in the commit messages, but the check reads the PR body. Please paste this into the PR description:
## Product invariants affected
- INV-MEM-3
- INV-MEM-4
- INV-MEM-1
(INV-MEM-4/INV-MEM-1 are pulled in by the new file in item 4.)
3. The bounds are still unasserted (backend/tests/services/users/test_data_export.py:509-535). The rewritten test verifies collection_group('events') is called and that parent_id parses from the path, but nothing asserts the two FieldFilter('__name__', ...) bounds are built from users/uid1/workstreams with the ' ' / \uf8ff markers. Those bounds are the user-scoping correctness-critical piece — a wrong parent_path would silently widen the export across users. One assertion on the constructed start/end keys would guard it.
4. backend/utils/memory_ingestion/ARCHITECTURE.md looks unrelated. It's a 3-line generic directory description added by the follow-up commits; it carries no technical content, and it is what drags in the INV-MEM-4/INV-MEM-1 citation requirements. Unless it's wanted separately, dropping it keeps this PR to its actual purpose.
Two smaller notes: the description's "1 read vs 101 reads" overstates it — the real win is 101 queries → 1 query (round-trips/latency); streamed child documents still count as reads server-side. And the intermediate commits briefly added scratch files (backend/test_hash.py, root new_baseline.json); fine since the final tree is clean, just worth avoiding on push.
Once the query shape is registered (and the manifest regenerated), the body section is added, and the bounds are asserted, this should be in good shape for maintainer sign-off on the INV-MEM-3-locked export behavior — noting the conscious decision that collection-group scans now include children of deleted parents, which the old parent-iteration skipped.
by AI on behalf of David. Leaving for human maintainer review: a ruling is needed on registering the four collection-group query specs (with index provisioning) versus carrying unsupported-query debt in the baseline, on an INV-MEM-3-locked export path.

💡 What: Replaced the nested iteration loop in
_iter_user_nested_subcollectionwith a single, scopedcollection_groupquery. The new query uses__name__bounds (\uf8ff) to restrict results exclusively to children belonging to the specified parent collection for that user.🎯 Why: The previous implementation suffered from an N+1 query issue, iterating sequentially through parent documents to stream their child subcollections. This was highly inefficient for users with large histories.
📊 Measured Improvement: In a local benchmark script simulating 100 parents and 10 children each:
This dramatically reduces database read operations and round-trip latency.
