Hey, nice one, triggers + backfill is exactly what #96 was after, and the tests are solid 👍
Blocker: signed-out users will see 0 likes and no ratings. Anon can only read the prompts columns we grant it one by one (see 20260922130000_hide_prompt_text_from_signed_out.sql, new columns stay private on purpose). like_count, rating_count and rating_average aren't granted, so for signed-out visitors getLikeCounts / getPromptRatings get a permission error, return empty, and every card shows 0. Just add this to your migration:
grant select (like_count, rating_count, rating_average) on public.prompts to anon;
(profiles isn't restricted for anon, so follower counts are fine.)
Rebase needed: #112 just got merged, so database.types.ts and schema.sql conflict now. After rebasing, run npm run db:schema to regenerate the schema file instead of fixing it by hand.
Keep two old tests in ratings.test.ts: the rewrite dropped the "clamps out-of-range ratings to 1..5" test and the check that ratePrompt doesn't send updated_at. ratePrompt still does both, so please bring them back.
Also add Fixes #96 to the description so it links up.
Should be good after that!

Concurrent ratings can leave rating_average stale. handle_prompt_rating computes avg(rating) in a subquery inside the UPDATE that takes the prompts row lock. Under READ COMMITTED, that statement takes its snapshot before it waits for the lock. Consider two ratings on one prompt at the same time:
- The second writer waits for the first writer to release the row lock.
- The EvalPlanQual recheck then re-reads the
promptsrow. - The recheck does not re-run the subquery with a new snapshot, so the second writer's average does not include the first writer's rating.
rating_count stays correct because it uses rating_count + 1. rating_average stays wrong until the next rating on that prompt. The fix is to lock the prompt row with perform 1 ... for update in one statement, then compute both aggregates in a later statement. Each plpgsql statement gets a fresh snapshot, so the later statement sees the committed rating.

Recompute both prompts when prompt_id changes.
authenticated retains table-level UPDATE access to public.prompt_ratings. The RLS policy restricts user_id, but not prompt_id. Therefore, an owner can move a rating to another valid prompt when the unique constraint allows it.
The registered UPDATE trigger recalculates only NEW.prompt_id's average. It does not update either prompt's rating_count or recompute OLD.prompt_id. A move can leave the old count too high and the new count too low.
Suggested fix
elsif (tg_op = 'UPDATE') then
- update public.prompts
+ update public.prompts p
set
- rating_average = (select round(avg(rating)::numeric, 2) from public.prompt_ratings where prompt_id = NEW.prompt_id)
- where id = NEW.prompt_id;
+ rating_count = coalesce((select count(*) from public.prompt_ratings pr where pr.prompt_id = p.id), 0),
+ rating_average = (select round(avg(pr.rating)::numeric, 2)

+ where pr.prompt_id = p.id)

Nice, all sorted 🙌 Anon grant's in, rebase is clean, and the tests are back. Merging this in. Thanks for taking on the first triggers in the project @Devansh-18155 !

What does this change?
prompts.like_count,prompts.rating_count,prompts.rating_averageprofiles.follower_count,profiles.following_countSECURITY DEFINERtriggers to keep counters atomically synchronized in the database:handle_like_countonpublic.likes(INSERT / DELETE)handle_follow_countonpublic.follows(INSERT / DELETE)handle_prompt_ratingonpublic.prompt_ratings(INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE)likes.ts,follows.ts, andratings.tsservices to read directly from the denormalized columns onpromptsandprofilesinstead of transferring all relational rows over the wire to reduce/average in JavaScript.Why?
Previously, calculating like counts, follower counts, and rating averages performed unbounded relational scans (e.g.
getLikeCountsandgetPromptRatingsfetched every matching row inlikesandprompt_ratingsto count/average in JavaScript). For prompts with thousands of likes/ratings or creators with thousands of followers, this meant transferring thousands of rows over the network for every card in the feed.Moving this into denormalized counter columns maintained by database triggers ensures O(1) constant payload size per prompt/creator regardless of like, follow, or rating volume.
