Problem

The BlueLabs Activity Insights surface needs a daily engagement trend for each user. Write a PostgreSQL query that calculates a rolling three-calendar-day average of activity.

Requirements

  1. Aggregate interaction counts by user and calendar date.
  2. Include every BlueLabs user and every date between the earliest and latest interaction, treating missing activity as zero.
  3. Use a window function to calculate the three-day average for each user, including the current date and two preceding calendar days.
  4. Return user_id, user_name, activity_date, and the rounded average, ordered by user and date.
