Conversation
An ordinary PathQuery selects keys, so it cannot describe the other
thing an indexed tree answers: "the best k groups by aggregate". That
ordering lives in the per-axis secondary, which is keyed by
sort_key ‖ original_key and is not a path-addressable subtree, so no
path names it. Callers wanting an axis-ordered answer therefore left
the query language and called one of a dozen bespoke
indexed_{count,sum,avg}_* methods, hand-building the secondary's Merk
query when they wanted bounds.
AxisPathQuery gives that capability the shape everything else has: a
path plus an AxisQuery (which axis, TopK{k,offset} or
Bounded{lo,hi,limit}, direction), with one entry point to read it, one
to prove it, one to verify it. The bounds-to-Merk-query lowering moves
into AxisQuery::merk_query, so prover and verifier share it instead of
each carrying a copy — the kind of duplication that lets a proof
format disagree with itself.
This is vocabulary and dispatch, not a new proof shape: each entry
point routes to the existing indexed-axis primitive, and a test pins
that the emitted proofs are byte-identical to the primitive calls they
replace, on both traversals. Bincode for AxisQuery is hand-written so
the axis travels as its canonical tag byte.
Out of scope, stated in the module docs: merging sibling axis queries
(that is the branched-proof case) and embedding axis queries inside a
PathQuery's subquery branches (needs the general proof generator to
carry a secondary proof where it now carries only a root attestation).

82-122: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winShare one clamping helper between the read path and the lowering.
The read arms re-derive the clamped bounds that
AxisQuery::merk_queryalready computes. Two copies of the same clamp can drift, and thenquery_axis_path_queryandprove_axis_path_queryanswer different questions for one bounded query. The module doc states that a single lowering site is the point of this change.Add a bounds accessor on
AxisQueryand call it from both places.♻️ Proposed shared accessor
Add to
impl AxisQueryingrovedb/src/query/axis_path_query.rs:/// The bounded traversal's `lo`/`hi` clamped to the count axis domain. pub fn count_bounds(&self) -> Option<(u64, u64)> { let AxisTraversal::Bounded { lo, hi, .. } = self.traversal else { return None; }; Some((lo.max(0) as u64, hi.min(u64::MAX as i128) as u64)) } /// The bounded traversal's `lo`/`hi` clamped to the sum axis domain. pub fn sum_bounds(&self) -> Option<(i64, i64)> { let AxisTraversal::Bounded { lo, hi, .. } = self.traversal else { return None; }; Some((lo.max(i64::MIN as i128) as i64, hi.min(i64::MAX as i128) as i64)) }Then use the accessors here, and use them inside

137-166: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAdd a bounded traversal test for the Sum and Avg axes.
The bounded path is covered only on the Count axis. The Sum arm and the Avg arm use different clamping and different sort-key encodings. A bounded read/prove/verify test on the multi-axis fixture would cover the
i64clamp and would pin the Avg fixed-point bound unit, which is the open question raised ongrovedb/src/query/axis_path_query.rslines 319-322.As per coding guidelines: "When adding functionality, check GroveDB version compatibility, implement cost calculation, support proof generation and batch operations, and add comprehensive edge-case tests."

Why
An ordinary
PathQueryselects keys: its items name keys or key ranges in the Merk a path points at. It cannot describe the other thing an indexed tree can answer — "the bestkgroups by aggregate" — because that ordering lives in the tree's per-axis secondary, which is keyed bysort_key ‖ original_keyand is not a path-addressable subtree. The secondary is an internal structure of the element with its own storage prefix, so no path names it, and therefore noPathQuery(merged or not) can reach it.The practical consequence: a caller wanting an axis-ordered answer left the query language entirely and called one of a dozen bespoke
indexed_{count,sum,avg}_{top_k,top_k_paginated,range,range_aggregate}methods, each with its own argument list — and hand-built the secondary's Merk query when it wanted bounds. That last part is the real hazard: the bounds→Merk-query lowering is prover/verifier agreement material, and it was living in each caller (including downstream in Dash Platform) rather than in grovedb.What
AxisPathQuerygives axis-ordered reads the same shape everything else has — a path plus a description of what to read:with three entry points:
AxisQuery::merk_query()turns inclusive[lo, hi]into the secondary's byte range (inclusive atlo, exclusive at the successor ofhi, open-ended whenhiis the axis maximum). Both the prove and verify paths call it, so they cannot drift.k/limitof zero, inverted bounds, bounds wholly outside the axis domain, and empty paths are rejected — so a caller error surfaces as an error rather than an empty page that looks like real absence.i128bounds for every axis, matching the convention the existing aggregate-range entry points already use, clamped per-axis in the lowering.This is dispatch, not a new proof shape
Each entry point routes to the existing indexed-axis primitive and produces the existing envelope. A test pins that literally:
for both traversals. No proof bytes change, no verification rule changes, and every existing caller is untouched — this is purely additive.
Explicitly out of scope
Both are stated in the module docs so the boundary is on record:
PathQuery's subquery branches, so one proof could mix key-selected and axis-ordered layers. That needs the general proof generator to carry a secondary proof where it currently carries only a secondary root attestation (see theProofBytes::CountIndexedTreecomment ingenerate.rs, which redirects secondary-ordered callers elsewhere — this PR is the front door it should redirect to).Testing
axis_path_query_tests: read/prove/verify round trips for both traversals; all three axes through one vocabulary; bounded inclusivity on both ends; the lowering compared against a hand-built secondary query (including the open-ended maximum case); byte-identity with the primitives; the degenerate-query rejection matrix across read and prove; a proof failing to verify under a differentk/ offset / direction / traversal; and bincode round trips including rejection of an unknown axis tag.Full
