Agent hacking Postgres
Agent-assisted patch work around the wait-event timing submission.
session summary
The group reviewed Kirk Wolak's pg_dump patch for keeping loadable placeholders when table data is excluded, grounding the discussion in his large-table restore workflow. They debated a positive interface, filter-file actions, arbitrary dump queries, PII transformation, and referential-integrity risks, then posted supportive review feedback to pgsql-hackers. The final segment examined Salma El-Sayed's B-tree leaf-page merge design, including merged-page markers, scan correctness, vacuum cleanup, and review plans.
