I think you need to
a) Determine the user-id at planning time, and insert the matching RLS clause
b1) Either re-plan the query if the user-id changes between planning and execution time, which means making the
user-ida part of the plan-cache key.
b2) Or decree that for RLS purposes, it's the user-id at planning time, not execution time, that counts.
