Issue for this PR

Closes #1419

Type of change

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Refactor / code improvement
  • Documentation

What does this PR do?

Why. A live ADE-Bench run showed the finish-time dbt validators and the altimate-dbt helper sending agents into repair loops over problems that did not exist (#1419).

Root cause and fix, per defect

  1. Schema verify told agents to remove or add columns, but YAML usually documents only some columns. Now it fails only on what dbt treats as an error (an enforced contract the built relation does not match; a tested column the model does not produce), names the declaring file, and never instructs a destructive change. Two skills that taught the old rule are rewritten.
  2. For a model with no tests dbt prints "Nothing to do" and no summary; the parser read that as an error. Now it is "nothing to check". Failing tests and real run errors still fail.
  3. altimate-dbt ran dbt deps on every start; concurrent runs re-extracted the same package directories. It now installs (from the adapter's create(), so every caller gets it) only when packages are missing, out of date or half-written, under a cross-process lock with a heartbeat and stale-lock handling.
  4. Validators run several altimate-dbt processes at once against one single-writer DuckDB file. An errored check is now retried once, on its own.
  5. Without the install staggering start-up, processes read dbt's manifest while it was rewritten (about 1 call in 9 with four at once). Reading it now retries up to six times with jittered backoff.

Dependency change. packages/dbt-tools/package.json adds yaml 2.8.3 as a direct dependency (used to read package declarations and dbt_project.yml), and the lockfile gains the one matching workspace line. The test script also runs the new test files.

Before and after (live, ADE-Bench, 75 tasks per arm, one trial each, origin/main against the fixed tree)

  • Sessions told "could not be tested": 63 to 0
  • Sessions told to remove or add columns: 12 to 0
  • Sessions graded on a broken packages directory: 6 to 0; using all three validator retries: 61 to 7
  • Mean cost per trial 0.43 to 0.28 USD; mean wall time 237 to 144 s
  • Packages stress test, 4 concurrent calls per round: 16 of 30 rounds with a broken directory before, 0 of 300 after

No pass-rate improvement is claimed. Passes were 55 of 75 against 59 of 75; paired difference +0.053, 95% interval -0.040 to +0.147, which includes zero. Four tasks passed only without the fixes (f1006.base, f1010.medium, f1011.base, intercom002.base); with one trial per task I have not established the cause of each.

Caveat. The live numbers were measured before the manifest retry (defect 5) was added; that change is verified by stress test only.

Deployment readiness. Self-contained; no migration, configuration or operator action.

Tenant and user impact. Two changes a user could notice. (a) Edits made inside the packages directory now persist until altimate-dbt deps is run; previously every call reinstalled pristine packages. (b) Validators stay silent where they used to speak: no "could not be tested" for untested models, and no column advice for undocumented columns.

Known limits, documented and not fixed. A paused lock owner resuming beside its replacement, or a killed owner leaving its dbt deps child; readers racing a user's explicit dbt deps; a raw dbt deps bypassing the lock. Windows and dbt Fusion untested. Installed package versions are not compared, because hub packages report stale versions in their own project file. When no manifest exists at all, each read now costs about 2 to 3 s of retries.

Pre-existing: the typecheck error in trace-context-loop.test.ts is not reported on this branch, rebased on the latest main.

How did you verify your code works?

  • Unit (ran): dbt-tools suite 144 pass, 0 fail; validators directory 846 pass, 132 skipped, 0 fail; both typechecks clean; upstream marker and tracker-leak checks pass.
  • Integration (ran): packages stress test on the rebased head, real dbt-duckdb and built altimate-dbt, 4 concurrent processes per round: 100 rounds (and 40 more on the final head), 0 broken package directories, 0 process failures.
  • Live benchmark (ran, earlier tree): see above.
  • Independent review (ran): its findings on the version comparison, lost deps error, non-directory entries and the CI test list are fixed in this PR; the orphaned-child lock case and manifest retry cost are the documented limits.
  • Not run: Windows, dbt Fusion, network filesystems. Remaining risk: lock behaviour there is unexercised.
  • Browser, HTTP and production observation: not applicable; no UI or route changed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Schema verification now flags missing columns only when required by an enforced contract or backed by a column test. Unlisted extra columns and untested YAML declarations no longer cause failures by themselves.
    • dbt test validation now distinguishes failed tests from runs with no tests selected, unmatched selectors, and run errors. Eligible parallel-run errors are retried serially.
    • Package installation is coordinated across concurrent commands, with interrupted installs detected and retried. Manifest reads retry when the file is temporarily unavailable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes revise dbt schema-verification findings, classify empty and failed test runs, retry eligible validator errors serially, coordinate package installation across processes, and retry manifest reads when parsing returns no result.

Changes

Schema Verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Schema finding rules
.opencode/skills/dbt-develop/SKILL.md, .opencode/skills/dbt-schema-verify/SKILL.md, docs/docs/data-engineering/validators.md, packages/dbt-tools/src/commands/schema-verify.ts, packages/dbt-tools/test/schema-verify.test.ts, packages/dbt-tools/test/build.test.ts
The verifier reports findings for enforced-contract column differences and missing declared columns with attached tests. Other differences remain notes or raw diff data. The response adds declaration details, findings, and notes. Guidance and tests reflect these rules.
Validator enforcement and reporting
packages/opencode/src/altimate/validators/dbt-schema-verify.ts, packages/opencode/test/altimate/validators/dbt-schema-verify.test.ts, packages/opencode/test/altimate/validators/e2e-real-dbt-5.test.ts, packages/opencode/test/altimate/validators/fake-altimate-dbt.helper.ts
The OpenCode validator requires evidence-bearing findings to count a mismatch. It retries eligible errors serially and reports evidence without prescribing column edits.

dbt Test Outcomes

Layer / File(s) Summary
No-test classification and serial retries
packages/opencode/src/altimate/validators/validator-utils.ts, packages/opencode/src/altimate/validators/dbt-tests-pass.ts, packages/opencode/test/altimate/validators/dbt-tests-pass-check.test.ts, docs/docs/data-engineering/validators.md
The validator distinguishes no tests selected, unmatched selectors, test failures, and run errors. It retries eligible run errors serially and includes no-test and retry details in results.

Package Installation and Manifest Reads

Layer / File(s) Summary
Package checks, locking, and installation
packages/dbt-tools/src/packages.ts, packages/dbt-tools/package.json, packages/dbt-tools/test/packages.test.ts, packages/dbt-tools/test/fixture/packages-worker.ts, packages/dbt-tools/test/packages-real-dbt.test.ts, docs/docs/data-engineering/tools/dbt-tools.md
The CLI checks package state and coordinates installs with a project-scoped lock. Tests cover install decisions, interrupted installs, and concurrent calls. Documentation describes package and lock behavior.
CLI wiring and manifest retries
packages/dbt-tools/src/index.ts, packages/dbt-tools/src/commands/deps.ts, packages/dbt-tools/src/adapter.ts, packages/dbt-tools/src/manifest-retry.ts, packages/dbt-tools/test/manifest-retry.test.ts
The CLI checks packages before adapter creation and routes explicit dependency commands through the shared lock. Manifest parsing retries undefined results, up to six attempts by default.

…re-read the manifest

`altimate-dbt` ran `dbt deps` on every start, and concurrent invocations
corrupted `dbt_packages`. Packages are now installed only when missing, out of
date or half-written, under a cross-process lock with a heartbeat and
stale-lock handling. `deps` and `add-packages` take the same lock.

With the install no longer staggering start-up, concurrent processes could read
`target/manifest.json` while dbt rewrote it, so reading the manifest now
retries with jittered backoff.

`schema-verify` now fails only on what dbt treats as an error (an enforced
contract the built relation does not match, a declared column with a test that
the model does not produce) and never tells the agent to remove columns.

Adds `yaml` as a direct dependency of `dbt-tools` (already in the lockfile
through other workspaces) for reading `packages.yml` and `dbt_project.yml`.

…tests-pass`

- `dbt-schema-verify` no longer instructs the agent to remove or add columns so
  a model matches its YAML; it reports only real dbt errors, names the file
  that declares the column, and suggests no destructive change.
- `dbt-tests-pass` treats dbt's "Nothing to do" (a model with no tests) as
  "nothing to check" rather than "could not be tested". Failing tests and real
  run errors still fail.
- An `altimate-dbt` check that errors is retried once on its own, because the
  validators run several processes against one single-writer DuckDB file.
- Rewrites the `dbt-schema-verify` and `dbt-develop` skills that taught the old
  rule, and updates the validator and dbt-tools docs.

…bt's own deps error

Findings from the independent review:

- Hub packages do not keep `version:` in their `dbt_project.yml` in step with
  the release (a package locked at 1.3.0 reports 0.1.0), so comparing it with
  the lock reinstalled on every start. Installed packages are now checked by
  name and completeness; a stamp from our own install still detects changed
  declarations.
- A failed explicit `altimate-dbt deps` on an empty directory returns dbt's
  error result instead of a generic "incomplete" exception.
- Plain files and dangling links in the install path are not counted as
  incomplete packages.
- The "after waiting for the lock" reason was inverted.
- The dbt-tools `test` script now also runs `schema-verify.test.ts` and
  `build.test.ts`.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ator retries

- Install packages from `create()` so every caller of the dbt adapter (including
  the in-process SQL path) gets the install check; a lock wait timeout is now
  fatal rather than continuing against packages being rewritten.
- Treat a truncated `dbt_project.yml` as an incomplete package, fall back to
  `packages.yml` when `package-lock.yml` is empty, recreate the state directory
  before writing the dirty marker, and make lock release best-effort.
- Find the tested model through `depends_on` for manifests without
  `attached_node`.
- `dbt-tests-pass`: a passing summary next to dbt abort text is an error, a
  zero-test summary is not counted as passed, and a retry that cannot start
  keeps the first error.
- Sanitize schema-verify evidence and error text before they reach the prompt.
- Correct the skill and validator docs, and tighten test assertions.

…and adapter

- Include the resolved `packages-install-path` in the install stamp, so changing
  it no longer leaves a stamp that vouches for another directory.
- Dispose the initialised adapter when the manifest read in `create()` throws.
- Scan the project's tests for tested columns only when a declared column is
  missing and no contract is enforced.
- Allow 1200 characters of schema-verify evidence so a model with many missing
  tested columns keeps all of them in the message.
- Make the dbt-tools no-destructive-guidance assertion case-insensitive.

The stamp hashed the absolute install path, so reaching one project through a
symlink and through its real path gave two fingerprints and a needless
reinstall. Hash the path relative to the project instead.

…stall paths, skip real-dbt suite on Windows

- `dbt-schema-verify` now names models that could not be verified, with the
  first error, when other models also have findings.
- The package stamp keeps an install path outside the project as written
  instead of hashing a path relative to the project root.
- The real-dbt package tests use POSIX shell fixtures and skip on Windows.

🟡 Minor · Reject mismatches from producers without findings as unsupported. · dbt-schema-verify.ts:65-67

packages/opencode/src/altimate/validators/dbt-schema-verify.ts:65-67
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject mismatches from producers without findings as unsupported.

When altimate-dbt resolves to an older build, an enforced-contract or tested-column mismatch can arrive as verdict: "mismatch" without findings. establishedFindings discards that result. If no other model errors, the validator can return ok: true. Treat this response as an unsupported-producer error instead of a clean result.

Suggested fix
       const parsed = parseSchemaVerifyOutput(stdout)
       if (parsed) {
-        resolve(parsed)
+        if (parsed.verdict === "mismatch" && !Array.isArray(parsed.findings)) {
+          resolve({
+            ...parsed,
+            error: parsed.error ?? "Unsupported altimate-dbt output: mismatch has no findings; update altimate-dbt",
+          })
+        } else {
+          resolve(parsed)
+        }
       } else if (stderr) {

Reply to CodeRabbit's outside-diff comment on dbt-schema-verify.ts (lines 65-67, "reject mismatches from producers without findings as unsupported"):

Not changed, deliberately. A mismatch verdict without findings can only come from an older altimate-dbt, where mismatch meant "the model's columns differ from the YAML listing". That is the signal this pull request stops acting on, because project YAML commonly documents only some columns. Turning it into a validator error would bring back a false alarm for exactly those builds. The two cases that are real errors do not depend on this path: an enforced contract that the model violates fails dbt build itself, which dbt-build-green reports, and the CLI and the validators ship in the same release, so the classifying altimate-dbt is the one normally resolved. The count of such unclassified results is still recorded in the validator's result for diagnosis.
