That would break the foreign key constraint, right?
PostgreSQL cannot allow that.
I believe the OP is disabling all triggers including system ones if I
follow
correctly and possibly running a foul of;
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-altertable.html
" Disabling or enabling internally generated constraint triggers requires
superuser privileges; it should be done with caution since of course the
integrity of the constraint cannot be guaranteed if the triggers are not
executed."
Exactly that. I learned this from pg_restore --disable-triggers, as a way
to speed-up insertion.
Since triggers are disabled, I assumed that postgresql shouldn't care
about referential integrity in TRUNCATE.
I'm going to say the depends on order of execution. Without seeing the
code changes you have done there is really no way to determine what the
exact issue is.
