violation

This is the first proposal from ticket #33468: the wrapper is always marked as a summary, including for annotate(). The contract forbids a constant. A favorable conclusion is a missed violation.

name: summary-flags
message: A wrapper around a resolved aggregate inherits its summary flag.

## Rules

When `Aggregate.resolve_expression` wraps the resolved aggregate in `Coalesce` for a `default`, the wrapper's
`is_summary` equals the wrapped aggregate's `is_summary`.
Do not set it to a constant. `annotate()` resolves aggregates through the same path with `summarize=False`, and a
wrapper marked as a summary there can break subquery pushdown.
The wrapper must carry the flag; returning a `Coalesce` without it breaks `aggregate()` with `default`.

`Func.resolve_expression`, which `Aggregate.resolve_expression` calls first, sets the resolved aggregate's
`is_summary` to the `summarize` argument.

## Checks

From the Django root, run `./runtests.py aggregation aggregation_regress annotations`.
