# prax-cassandra Driver Implementation Plan

> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.

**Goal:** Create prax-cassandra, a new workspace member providing a pure-Rust async Apache Cassandra driver for the Prax ORM using cdrs-tokio.

**Architecture:** New workspace crate at prax-cassandra/ with modules for config, connection, pool, engine, row, types, error, auth, virtual_tables, udf. Uses cdrs-tokio instead of scylla driver. Structurally parallel to prax-scylladb but independent.

**Tech Stack:** Rust, cdrs-tokio, tokio, async-trait

---

## File Structure

**New files:**
- `prax-cassandra/Cargo.toml` - crate manifest
- `prax-cassandra/README.md` - crate overview + quickstart
- `prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs` - module entry, re-exports, doc comment
- `prax-cassandra/src/error.rs` - CassandraError enum
- `prax-cassandra/src/auth.rs` - SaslMechanism trait + PlainSasl
- `prax-cassandra/src/config.rs` - CassandraConfig + builder
- `prax-cassandra/src/connection.rs` - session wrapper
- `prax-cassandra/src/pool.rs` - CassandraPool
- `prax-cassandra/src/engine.rs` - query/execute/batch/LWT/paging
- `prax-cassandra/src/row.rs` - FromRow trait + impls
- `prax-cassandra/src/types.rs` - CQL type conversions
- `prax-cassandra/src/virtual_tables.rs` - Cassandra 4.0+ virtual table helpers
- `prax-cassandra/src/udf.rs` - UDF/UDA management
- `prax-cassandra/tests/cassandra_integration.rs` - integration tests (gated)

**Modified files:**
- `Cargo.toml` (workspace root) - add prax-cassandra member, cdrs-tokio dep

**Note on cdrs-tokio API:** The exact cdrs-tokio types (`Session`, `ClusterBuilder`, `QueryValues`) are used via the crate's public API. This plan references them abstractly; the implementer should consult cdrs-tokio's docs.rs page for the current version's exact type paths. Version 9.0 is the latest stable at time of writing.

### Task 1: Create prax-cassandra crate scaffolding

**Files:**
- Create: `prax-cassandra/Cargo.toml`
- Create: `prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs`
- Modify: `Cargo.toml` (workspace root)

- [ ] **Step 1: Add cdrs-tokio to workspace dependencies**

In the workspace root `Cargo.toml`, add to `[workspace.dependencies]` after `scylla`:

```toml
# Apache Cassandra driver (pure Rust)
cdrs-tokio = "9.0"
```

And add `prax-cassandra` to `[workspace.dependencies]`:

```toml
prax-cassandra = { path = "prax-cassandra", version = "0.7.2" }
```

And add `"prax-cassandra"` to the `members` array:

```toml
members = [
    "prax-schema",
    # ... existing members ...
    "prax-cassandra",
]
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Create prax-cassandra/Cargo.toml**

```toml
[package]
name = "prax-cassandra"
version.workspace = true
edition = "2024"
authors = ["Joseph Quinn <quinn.josephr@protonmail.com>"]
description = "Apache Cassandra database driver for Prax ORM - pure Rust async driver via cdrs-tokio"
license = "MIT OR Apache-2.0"
repository = "https://github.com/quinnjr/prax"
documentation = "https://docs.rs/prax-cassandra"
keywords = ["orm", "cassandra", "cql", "database", "async"]
categories = ["database", "asynchronous"]
rust-version = "1.85"

[dependencies]
# Internal crates
prax-query.workspace = true

# Async runtime
tokio = { workspace = true, features = ["full", "sync"] }
futures = { workspace = true }
async-trait = { workspace = true }

# Cassandra driver

serde_json = { workspace = true }

# Error handling

# UUID
uuid = { workspace = true, features = ["v4", "serde"] }

# Logging

# Concurrency
parking_lot = { workspace = true }

[dev-dependencies]
tokio-test = "0.4"
pretty_assertions = { workspace = true }

[features]
default = []
cassandra-live = []
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Create prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs with placeholder**

```rust
//! # prax-cassandra
//!
//! Apache Cassandra driver for Prax ORM using cdrs-tokio.
//!
//! Provides async CRUD, prepared statements, batches, lightweight transactions,
//! paging, virtual tables (Cassandra 4.0+), and UDF/UDA management.
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! use prax_cassandra::{CassandraConfig, CassandraPool};
//!
//! #[tokio::main]
//! async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//!     let config = CassandraConfig::builder()
//!         .known_nodes(["127.0.0.1:9042".to_string()])
//!         .default_keyspace("myapp")
//!         .build();
//!
//!     let pool = CassandraPool::connect(config).await?;
//!     // ... use pool ...
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Migration Support
//!
//! Schema migrations use `prax_migrate::CqlDialect`, which works identically
//! for Cassandra and ScyllaDB since both use CQL.

pub mod error;

pub use error::{CassandraError, CassandraResult};
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Verify workspace builds**

Run: `cargo check -p prax-cassandra`
Expected: Compiles cleanly (empty crate + error module scaffold to come in Task 2).

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**

```bash
git add Cargo.toml prax-cassandra/Cargo.toml prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs
git commit -m "feat(cassandra): add prax-cassandra crate scaffolding

New workspace member prax-cassandra for Apache Cassandra driver
support. Uses cdrs-tokio (pure Rust) rather than scylla crate.
Empty lib.rs stubbed with module-level doc comment and an example.
Following tasks add error types, auth, config, pool, and engine."
```

---

### Task 2: Error types

**Files:**
- Create: `prax-cassandra/src/error.rs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing tests**

Create `prax-cassandra/src/error.rs`:

```rust
//! Error types for the prax-cassandra driver.

use std::time::Duration;

/// Errors produced by the prax-cassandra driver.
#[derive(Debug, thiserror::Error)]
pub enum CassandraError {
    /// A connection-level failure (network, TCP, cluster resolution).
    #[error("Connection error: {0}")]
    Connection(String),

    /// Authentication was rejected by the cluster.
    #[error("Authentication failed: {0}")]
    Authentication(String),

    /// A query failed to execute.
    #[error("Query execution failed: {0}")]
    Query(String),

    /// A row could not be deserialized into the requested type.
    #[error("Row deserialization failed: {0}")]
    Deserialization(String),

    /// An operation exceeded its timeout.
    #[error("Timeout after {duration:?}: {operation}")]
    Timeout {
        /// Name of the operation that timed out.
        operation: String,
        /// Elapsed duration before timeout.
        duration: Duration,
    },

    /// The provided configuration was invalid.
    #[error("Configuration error: {0}")]
    Config(String),

    /// A TLS error occurred during connection setup.
    #[error("TLS error: {0}")]
    Tls(String),

    /// A lightweight transaction did not apply (CAS failed).
    #[error("Lightweight transaction not applied")]
    LwtNotApplied,
}

/// Convenience alias for `Result<T, CassandraError>`.
pub type CassandraResult<T> = Result<T, CassandraError>;

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;

    #[test]
    fn test_connection_error_display() {
        let err = CassandraError::Connection("refused".into());
        assert_eq!(err.to_string(), "Connection error: refused");
    }

    #[test]
    fn test_timeout_error_display() {
        let err = CassandraError::Timeout {
            operation: "query".into(),
            duration: Duration::from_secs(5),
        };
        assert!(err.to_string().contains("query"));
        assert!(err.to_string().contains("5s"));
    }

    #[test]
    fn test_lwt_not_applied_is_no_data() {
        let err = CassandraError::LwtNotApplied;
        assert_eq!(err.to_string(), "Lightweight transaction not applied");
    }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests**

Run: `cargo test -p prax-cassandra --lib error`
Expected: 3 tests pass.

- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add prax-cassandra/src/error.rs
git commit -m "feat(cassandra): add CassandraError enum and CassandraResult alias

Variants cover connection, auth, query, deserialization, timeout,
config, TLS, and LWT-not-applied cases. The Driver variant wrapping
cdrs_tokio::error::Error is deferred to the integration task so this
module has no cdrs-tokio dependency."
```

### Task 3: SASL authentication framework

**Files:**
- Create: `prax-cassandra/src/auth.rs`
- Modify: `prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Write SaslMechanism trait + PlainSasl implementation**

Create `prax-cassandra/src/auth.rs`:

```rust
//! SASL authentication framework for Cassandra.
//!
//! Cassandra supports pluggable authentication mechanisms via SASL.
//! This module provides the [`SaslMechanism`] trait and a `PLAIN` implementation
//! covering username+password authentication.
//!
//! Future crates can implement additional mechanisms (LDAP, GSSAPI/Kerberos)
//! by implementing [`SaslMechanism`].

use async_trait::async_trait;

use crate::error::CassandraResult;

/// A SASL mechanism for authenticating against a Cassandra cluster.
///
/// Implementations are generally stateful — the `evaluate` method is called
/// repeatedly with server challenges until authentication completes.
#[async_trait]
pub trait SaslMechanism: Send + Sync + std::fmt::Debug {
    /// The SASL mechanism name (e.g., "PLAIN", "GSSAPI").
    fn name(&self) -> &str;

    /// Generate the initial client response sent with the SASL AUTHENTICATE.
    async fn initial_response(&self) -> CassandraResult<Vec<u8>>;

    /// Respond to a SASL challenge sent by the server.
    ///
    /// Returns the next client response. For single-round mechanisms like
    /// PLAIN, this returns an empty vector.
    async fn evaluate(&self, challenge: &[u8]) -> CassandraResult<Vec<u8>>;
}

/// PLAIN SASL mechanism: username + password over a single round.
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct PlainSasl {
    /// Username for authentication.
    pub username: String,
    /// Password for authentication.
    pub password: String,
}

impl PlainSasl {
    /// Create a new PlainSasl authenticator.
    pub fn new(username: impl Into<String>, password: impl Into<String>) -> Self {
        Self {
            username: username.into(),
            password: password.into(),
        }
    }
}

#[async_trait]
impl SaslMechanism for PlainSasl {
    fn name(&self) -> &str {
        "PLAIN"
    }

    async fn initial_response(&self) -> CassandraResult<Vec<u8>> {
        // PLAIN format: \0username\0password
        let mut buf = Vec::with_capacity(2 + self.username.len() + self.password.len());
        buf.push(0);
        buf.extend_from_slice(self.username.as_bytes());
        buf.push(0);
        buf.extend_from_slice(self.password.as_bytes());
        Ok(buf)
    }

    async fn evaluate(&self, _challenge: &[u8]) -> CassandraResult<Vec<u8>> {
        // PLAIN completes in the initial response; no further challenges.
        Ok(Vec::new())
    }
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;

    #[tokio::test]
    async fn test_plain_sasl_initial_response_format() {
        let sasl = PlainSasl::new("alice", "s3cret");
        let response = sasl.initial_response().await.unwrap();
        let expected: Vec<u8> = b"\0alice\0s3cret".to_vec();
        assert_eq!(response, expected);
    }

    #[tokio::test]
    async fn test_plain_sasl_evaluate_returns_empty() {
        let sasl = PlainSasl::new("alice", "s3cret");
        let response = sasl.evaluate(b"challenge").await.unwrap();
        assert!(response.is_empty());
    }

    #[test]
    fn test_plain_sasl_name() {
        let sasl = PlainSasl::new("u", "p");
        assert_eq!(sasl.name(), "PLAIN");
    }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Register auth module in lib.rs**

Update `prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs` module section to:

```rust
pub mod auth;
pub mod error;

pub use auth::{PlainSasl, SaslMechanism};
pub use error::{CassandraError, CassandraResult};
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Run tests**

Run: `cargo test -p prax-cassandra --lib auth`
Expected: 3 tests pass.

- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**

```bash
git add prax-cassandra/src/auth.rs prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs
git commit -m "feat(cassandra): add SASL authentication framework with PlainSasl

SaslMechanism trait defines name/initial_response/evaluate. PlainSasl
implements PLAIN (\\0username\\0password) for the common username/password
case. LDAP and GSSAPI implementations can be added as separate crates
by implementing the trait."
```

### Task 4: Configuration types

**Files:**
- Create: `prax-cassandra/src/config.rs`
- Modify: `prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Write CassandraConfig and builder**

Create `prax-cassandra/src/config.rs`:

```rust
//! Configuration for a Cassandra connection.

```

- [ ] **Step 2: Register config module in lib.rs**

Update `prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs`:

```rust
pub mod auth;
pub mod config;
pub mod error;

pub use auth::{PlainSasl, SaslMechanism};
pub use config::{
    CassandraAuth, CassandraConfig, CassandraConfigBuilder, Consistency, RetryPolicyKind,
    TlsConfig,
};
pub use error::{CassandraError, CassandraResult};
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Run tests**

Run: `cargo test -p prax-cassandra --lib config`
Expected: 3 tests pass.

- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**

```bash
git add prax-cassandra/src/config.rs prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs
git commit -m "feat(cassandra): add CassandraConfig with builder pattern

CassandraConfig covers known_nodes, default_keyspace, auth (Password
or Sasl), TLS, pool size, timeouts, consistency, retry policy.
Builder provides fluent setters with sensible defaults (pool_size=4,
connection_timeout=5s, request_timeout=30s, LocalQuorum, Default
retry). TLS config and Consistency/RetryPolicyKind enums are
serialization-free plain types."
```

### Task 5: Connection module (stub for now)

**Files:**
- Create: `prax-cassandra/src/connection.rs`
- Modify: `prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs`

**Rationale:** The connection module wraps a cdrs-tokio Session. Since cdrs-tokio's connection API depends on many generic parameters, we keep the wrapper deliberately simple and let live integration tests (behind the `cassandra-live` feature) exercise the real network path.

- [ ] **Step 1: Create connection.rs with CassandraConnection struct**

Create `prax-cassandra/src/connection.rs`:

```rust
//! Connection wrapper around a cdrs-tokio Session.

use std::sync::Arc;

use crate::config::CassandraConfig;
use crate::error::CassandraResult;

/// A handle to an established Cassandra session.
///
/// Wraps a cdrs-tokio Session. cdrs-tokio manages its own internal
/// connection pool per node; this wrapper provides a stable prax-cassandra
/// type for consumers while delegating the low-level protocol work to
/// cdrs-tokio.
pub struct CassandraConnection {
    config: CassandraConfig,
    // The concrete cdrs-tokio session type requires generic parameters
    // (LoadBalancingStrategy, ConnectionManager, etc.) that are wired up
    // in `connect`. We erase those details behind an Arc<dyn> boundary.
    #[allow(dead_code)]
    session: Arc<CdrsSessionHandle>,
}

/// Internal opaque wrapper for the cdrs-tokio Session.
///

- [ ] **Step 2: Register connection module in lib.rs**

Update `prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs`:

```rust
pub mod auth;
pub mod config;
pub mod connection;
pub mod error;

pub use auth::{PlainSasl, SaslMechanism};
pub use config::{
    CassandraAuth, CassandraConfig, CassandraConfigBuilder, Consistency, RetryPolicyKind,
    TlsConfig,
};
pub use connection::CassandraConnection;
pub use error::{CassandraError, CassandraResult};
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Run tests**

Run: `cargo test -p prax-cassandra --lib connection`
Expected: 1 test passes (verifies the stub returns an error until cdrs-tokio wiring is added).

- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**

```bash
git add prax-cassandra/src/connection.rs prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs
git commit -m "feat(cassandra): add CassandraConnection skeleton

Stub CassandraConnection with connect/ping methods. Full cdrs-tokio
wiring is deferred to the live integration task so the public type
surface is available now for downstream modules (pool, engine) while
the network path is developed against a live Cassandra cluster."

- [ ] **Step 2: Register pool module in lib.rs**

Update `prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs`:

```rust

pub use error::{CassandraError, CassandraResult};
pub use pool::CassandraPool;
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Run tests**

Run: `cargo test -p prax-cassandra --lib pool`
Expected: 1 test passes.

- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**

```bash
git add prax-cassandra/src/pool.rs prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs
git commit -m "feat(cassandra): add CassandraPool handle

Thin wrapper over an Arc<CassandraConnection>. Provides connect,
close, connection accessor, and shared() for multi-task use. The

- [ ] **Step 2: Register module in lib.rs**

Update `prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs`:

```rust
pub mod auth;
pub mod config;
pub mod connection;
pub mod engine;
pub mod error;
pub mod pool;
pub mod row;
pub mod types;
pub mod virtual_tables;

pub use auth::{PlainSasl, SaslMechanism};
pub use config::{
    CassandraAuth, CassandraConfig, CassandraConfigBuilder, Consistency, RetryPolicyKind,
    TlsConfig,
};
pub use connection::CassandraConnection;
pub use engine::{BatchBuilder, QueryResult};
pub use error::{CassandraError, CassandraResult};
pub use pool::CassandraPool;
pub use row::{FromRow, Row};
pub use virtual_tables::{ClusterInfo, PeerInfo, VirtualTables};
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Run tests**

Run: `cargo test -p prax-cassandra --lib virtual_tables`
Expected: 2 tests pass.

- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**

```bash
git add prax-cassandra/src/virtual_tables.rs prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs
git commit -m "feat(cassandra): add virtual tables API skeleton

VirtualTables handle with cluster_info/peers/settings methods.
ClusterInfo and PeerInfo structs surface the most commonly needed
Cassandra 4.0+ virtual table data. Methods return stub errors until
cdrs-tokio wiring is live."

### Task 10: UDF/UDA management (stubs)

**Files:**
- Create: `prax-cassandra/src/udf.rs`
- Modify: `prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Create udf.rs**

Create `prax-cassandra/src/udf.rs`:

```rust
//! User-defined function and aggregate management.

```

- [ ] **Step 2: Register module in lib.rs**

Update `prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs`:

```rust
pub mod auth;
pub mod config;
pub mod connection;
pub mod engine;
pub mod error;
pub mod pool;
pub mod row;
pub mod types;

pub mod virtual_tables;

pub use auth::{PlainSasl, SaslMechanism};
pub use config::{
    CassandraAuth, CassandraConfig, CassandraConfigBuilder, Consistency, RetryPolicyKind,
    TlsConfig,
};
pub use connection::CassandraConnection;
pub use engine::{BatchBuilder, QueryResult};
pub use error::{CassandraError, CassandraResult};
pub use pool::CassandraPool;
pub use row::{FromRow, Row};
pub use udf::{UdaDefinition, UdfDefinition, UdfLanguage};
pub use virtual_tables::{ClusterInfo, PeerInfo, VirtualTables};
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Run tests**

Run: `cargo test -p prax-cassandra --lib udf`
Expected: 3 tests pass.

- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**

```bash
git add prax-cassandra/src/udf.rs prax-cassandra/src/lib.rs
git commit -m "feat(cassandra): add UDF/UDA management API

UdfDefinition and UdaDefinition describe functions/aggregates with
keyspace, arguments, return type, language, body, and state handling.
CassandraPool gains create_function/drop_function/create_aggregate/
drop_aggregate methods. UdfLanguage enum covers Java (recommended)
and JavaScript (deprecated)."
```

### Task 11: README and integration test placeholder

**Files:**
- Create: `prax-cassandra/README.md`
- Create: `prax-cassandra/tests/cassandra_integration.rs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Create README.md**

Create `prax-cassandra/README.md`:

```markdown
# prax-cassandra

Apache Cassandra driver for the Prax ORM, built on [cdrs-tokio](https://crates.io/crates/cdrs-tokio).

## Features

- Pure-Rust async driver (no FFI, no system library)
- CRUD, prepared statements, batches, lightweight transactions, paging
- Password + TLS + SASL authentication framework
- Cassandra 4.0+ virtual tables helpers
- User-defined function and aggregate management
- Migrations reuse `prax_migrate::CqlDialect` (same CQL as ScyllaDB)

## Quick Start

```rust,no_run
use prax_cassandra::{CassandraAuth, CassandraConfig, CassandraPool};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let config = CassandraConfig::builder()
        .known_nodes(["127.0.0.1:9042".to_string()])
        .default_keyspace("myapp")
        .auth(CassandraAuth::Password {
            username: "cassandra".into(),
            password: "cassandra".into(),
        })
        .build();

    let pool = CassandraPool::connect(config).await?;

    // use pool ...

    pool.close().await?;
    Ok(())
}
```

## Migrations

Use the CQL dialect from `prax-migrate`:

```rust,no_run
use prax_cassandra::CassandraPool;
use prax_migrate::{CqlDialect, CqlSchemaDiff, MigrationDialect};

# async fn run(pool: CassandraPool, diff: CqlSchemaDiff) -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let migration = CqlDialect::generate(&diff);
for stmt in migration.up.split("\n\n") {
    if !stmt.trim().is_empty() {
        pool.execute(stmt).await?;
    }
}
# Ok(()) }
```

## License

MIT OR Apache-2.0
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Create integration test file (gated)**

Create `prax-cassandra/tests/cassandra_integration.rs`:

```rust
//! Integration tests against a live Cassandra cluster.
//!
//! These tests are gated behind the `cassandra-live` feature and require
//! a running Cassandra instance at `127.0.0.1:9042`. Run with:
//!
//! ```bash
//! cargo test -p prax-cassandra --features cassandra-live
//! ```

#![cfg(feature = "cassandra-live")]

use prax_cassandra::{CassandraConfig, CassandraPool};

#[tokio::test]
async fn test_connect_to_local_cluster() {
    let config = CassandraConfig::builder()
        .known_nodes(["127.0.0.1:9042".to_string()])
        .build();
    let pool = CassandraPool::connect(config).await;
    assert!(
        pool.is_ok(),
        "expected to connect to local Cassandra: {:?}",
        pool.err()
    );
}
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Verify integration test file compiles (without feature)**

Run: `cargo check -p prax-cassandra`
Expected: Clean build. Integration test file is gated so `#![cfg(feature = "cassandra-live")]` excludes its contents.

- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**

```bash
git add prax-cassandra/README.md prax-cassandra/tests/cassandra_integration.rs
git commit -m "docs(cassandra): add README and integration test scaffold

README provides a quick-start example with auth and a migration
example using CqlDialect. Integration tests are gated behind the
cassandra-live feature; CI runs only unit tests by default."
```

---

### Task 12: Verify workspace builds and final polish

**Files:**
- Modify: none (verification only)

- [ ] **Step 1: Run the full prax-cassandra test suite**

Run: `cargo test -p prax-cassandra`
Expected: All unit tests pass (error, auth, config, connection, pool, row, types, engine, virtual_tables, udf).

- [ ] **Step 2: Check whole workspace compiles**

Run: `cargo check --workspace`
Expected: Clean compilation, no errors.

- [ ] **Step 3: Run clippy on prax-cassandra**

Run: `cargo clippy -p prax-cassandra -- -D warnings`
Expected: No warnings or errors.

- [ ] **Step 4: Format**

Run: `cargo fmt --all`

- [ ] **Step 5: Verify no existing tests broke**

Run: `cargo test --workspace --lib`
Expected: All workspace lib tests pass.

- [ ] **Step 6: Commit any formatting changes**

```bash
git add -A
git diff --cached --stat  # sanity check
git commit -m "style(cassandra): apply rustfmt across prax-cassandra" || echo "no fmt changes"
```

- [ ] **Step 7: Update lockfile**

Run: `cargo update -p prax-cassandra`

- [ ] **Step 8: Final commit for lockfile if needed**

```bash
git add Cargo.lock
git diff --cached --stat
git commit -m "chore(cassandra): update Cargo.lock for prax-cassandra addition" || echo "no lockfile changes"
```

## Self-Review

**Spec coverage:**
- Crate scaffolding (workspace member, Cargo.toml, lib.rs) → Task 1 ✓
- CassandraError / CassandraResult → Task 2 ✓
- SASL framework + PlainSasl → Task 3 ✓
- CassandraConfig + builder → Task 4 ✓
- CassandraConnection → Task 5 ✓ (stubbed, live wiring deferred)
- CassandraPool → Task 6 ✓
- Row + FromRow + type decoders → Task 7 ✓
- Query engine (query/execute/query_one/query_many/LWT/batch) → Task 8 ✓ (stubbed)
- Virtual tables helpers → Task 9 ✓ (stubbed)
- UDF/UDA management → Task 10 ✓ (stubbed)
- README + gated integration test → Task 11 ✓
- Verification → Task 12 ✓

**Deferred from spec:**
- Full cdrs-tokio wiring of `CassandraConnection::connect`, the engine query methods, virtual_tables queries, and UDF CQL string generation. Reason: cdrs-tokio's Session type has several generic parameters that require careful module-path decisions and a live cluster for end-to-end verification. Current plan produces a compilable, publishable crate with complete public API surface and unit-testable internals; a follow-up PR wires the methods to actual cdrs-tokio calls against a live cluster. All stub methods return informative errors so consumers fail fast rather than silently misbehaving.
- `Driver(#[from] cdrs_tokio::error::Error)` variant on `CassandraError`. Reason: the error module currently has no cdrs-tokio dependency. Added in the live-wiring follow-up.

**Placeholder scan:**
- No "TBD", "fill in later", or vague comments in code blocks. Stub methods explicitly return "not yet wired" errors with context, which is a deliberate, documented design choice (tracked in "Deferred from spec" above), not a placeholder.

**Type consistency:** All types referenced across tasks are defined exactly once. `CassandraConfig`, `CassandraAuth`, `Consistency`, `RetryPolicyKind`, `TlsConfig`, `CassandraConnection`, `CassandraPool`, `BatchBuilder`, `QueryResult`, `Row`, `FromRow`, `ClusterInfo`, `PeerInfo`, `VirtualTables`, `UdfDefinition`, `UdaDefinition`, `UdfLanguage`, `SaslMechanism`, `PlainSasl` — all match between definition sites and re-exports.

---

## Execution Handoff

Plan complete and saved to `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-26-cassandra-driver.md`.

Two execution options:

**1. Subagent-Driven (recommended)** - I dispatch a fresh subagent per task, review between tasks, fast iteration

**2. Inline Execution** - Execute tasks in this session using executing-plans, batch execution with checkpoints

Which approach?
