Boolean columns were treated as numeric because bool subclasses int, so
`{"is_active": {"ne": true}}` coerced true to 1 and Postgres rejected
`boolean <> integer` at execute time. Confirmed against a live database:
every form except bare equality with a native boolean was a 500.
Boolean columns now get their own branch: native true/false bind as
booleans, and any other operand is a FilterError. SQLAlchemy types the
bind from the operand rather than the column, so "true" renders
`is_active = %(param)s::VARCHAR` and Postgres has no such operator — a
422 is the honest answer. String booleans have never worked, are absent
from the docs (every documented boolean is inside metadata, which is
JSONB containment and unaffected), and produced no Sentry events in 90
days, so nothing can depend on the current behavior.
Also corrects the previous commit. Coercing operands to exact ints made
SQLAlchemy render an ::INTEGER cast, so any value past int4 — not 2**53
— started failing with "integer out of range" where float() had silently
compared as a double. Decimal keeps the value exact and renders no cast,
matching what float() did. The `in` branch never went through coercion
at all, so {"token_count": {"in": [1, 2147483648]}} was a 500 before
this PR too; it now takes the same path.
Verified end to end against the live database, not just at compile time.
