You probably already know this part, but let me explain it just in
case it's not clear.

The pushdown of the qual from the top-level query into the subquery,
or function, in this case, is only legal when the qual references a
column that's in the PARTITION BY clause of all window functions in
the subquery. The reason for this is, if we filter rows before
calling the window function, then it could affect which rows are in
see in the window's frame. If it did filter, that could cause
incorrect results. We can relax the restriction a bit if we can
eliminate entire partitions at once. The window function results are
independent between partitions, so we can allow qual pushdowns that
are in all PARTITION BY clauses.

As for the reason you're having trouble getting this to work, it's
down to the way you're using whole-row vars in your targetlist.

A slightly simplified case which shows this problem is:

create table ab(a int, b int);
explain select * from (select ab as wholerowvar,row_number() over
(partition by a) from ab) ab where (ab.wholerowvar).a=1;

The reason it does not work is down to how this is implemented
internally. The details are, transformGroupClause() not assigning a
ressortgroupref to the whole-row var. It's unable to because there is
no way to track which actual column within the whole row var is in the
partition by clause. When it comes to the code that tries to push the
qual down into the subquery, check_output_expressions() checks if the
column in the subquery is ok to accept push downs or not. One of the
checks is to see if the query has windowing functions and to ensure
that the column is in all the PARTITION BY clauses of each windowing
function. That check is done by checking if a ressortgroupref is
assigned and matches a tleSortGroupRef in the PARTITION BY clause. In
this case, it does not match. We didn't assign any ressortgroupref to
the whole-row var.

Unfortunately, whole-row vars are a bit to 2nd class citizen when it
comes to the query planner. Also, it would be quite a bit of effort to
make the planner push down the qual in this case. We'd need some sort
of ability to assign ressortgroupref to a particular column within a
whole-row var and we'd need to adjust the code to check for that when
doing subquery pushdowns to allow it to mention which columns within
whole-row vars can legally accept pushdowns. I imagine that's
unlikely to be fixed any time soon. Whole-row vars just don't seem to
be used commonly enough to warrant going to the effort of making this
stuff work.

To work around this, you should include a reference to the actual
column in the targetlist of the subquery, or your function, in this
case, and ensure you use that same column in the PARTITION BY clause.
You'll then need to write that column in your condition that you need
pushed into the subquery. I'm sorry if that messes up your design.
However, I imagine this is not the only optimisation that you'll miss
out on by doing things the way you are.
