Read an inventory from a directory of object files - #889
Conversation
An inventory can now be laid out as a directory of YAML or JSON object files, which dc.inventory loads: file declares type, container agrees, name implies identity, envelope implies version. Names are addresses, so the nested tree materializes from a flat directory and a network or fiber array mentioned only by an address exists. Track CSVs and optical path epoch directories are refused by name until they can be read, rather than loading an entity which silently lacks the tracks its own directory states.
Two follow-ups to the loader. An unknown envelope key was the one error which reached the reader as a bare pydantic message, so it now names its file like the rest. And four registry tests asserted only inside a loop, so an empty registry would have passed them; each now pins how many things it checked.
A malformed network or fiber array token in a name failed when the entity it addresses was built, which is after every file mentioning it has been read, so the error named no file. The token is now checked where it is read.
A datetime64 wraps silently outside about 1678 to 2262, so '...@2500-01-01.yaml' read as 1915 and would have quietly misfiled every child of that epoch. The name is now refused. The wrap itself is older and wider than this loader -- Acquisition(start_time='2500-01-01') does the same -- so only the name is guarded here.
Five of seven findings, four of which could load a wrong inventory rather than raising: - An object filed inside an entity directory was silently dropped, since the stray scan skipped recognized containers wholesale and the entity reader ignored subdirectories. The scan now runs inside an entity too, skipping only its own attrs file. - Suffixes matched case-sensitively, so an inventory holding only DAS.L001..RAW.YAML loaded as empty. A case-insensitive filesystem holds one file there, not two spellings. - A child was placed by its start time alone, so an acquisition running past its fiber array's epoch went in the earlier one and became unreachable after the boundary, where resolution picks the later array. It is now refused, being a contradiction in the directory rather than a choice to make on the author's behalf. - An envelope value which would not validate reached the final build and surfaced as a bare pydantic error naming no file. - A type which is not a name at all, `type: [Acquisition]`, reached a hashed lookup and raised TypeError. Declined: folding case across the hierarchy join, since codes are case-sensitive to the models and to resolve, so a directory which folded them would disagree with what it loads; and ignoring a container subdirectory which holds no attrs file, since it is spelled exactly like an entity, and ignoring it would silently drop one whose attrs file was merely misnamed.
A child's address is exactly its parent's full address, which is what lets a flat directory nest. That was implicit, and the two places which relied on it had drifted into different spellings -- one grouping by `(*address, code)` and the other by `code` plus a filter -- which is how the two disagreed in the first place. `_full_address` states it, and the groupings either side of it are now visibly the same operation. Also: `_place` returns a list aligned with its parents rather than a dict keyed by their positions, so callers stop doing index arithmetic; and the containers whose names may carry an epoch are derived from the registry rather than restated as a literal list.
The worst of it was a file's own meaning depending on its neighbours. A container file could state the collection its directory supplies, and assembly replaced it: a network's inline stations vanished, and a fiber array's inline acquisitions survived only until some unrelated file addressed that array, at which point they disappeared. A file may now state only what nothing else supplies, which is the rule the envelope already followed. Containment was checked at one end. A child was refused for outliving its parent epoch but not for preceding it, and an unset start means the unbounded past, so a station valid only until 2020 sat under a network beginning in 2024. Both ends now, and the far end is tested against a real end time rather than only an unset one -- deleting that clause alone used to pass every test. Also silent, each loading an inventory missing something it names: - A shouted suffix. An inventory holding only DAS.L001..RAW.YAML loaded as empty, though a case-insensitive filesystem holds one file there. - An object filed inside an entity directory, which the stray scan skipped along with the rest of its container. - A hidden object file. Resource ids are free-form, so `.cable` is a legal one, and the file naming it disappeared. The two tests meant to cover this used `.DS_Store`, whose suffix is empty, so the suffix rule dropped it before the hidden-name branch was reached. - A directory holding no inventory at all, which read as an empty one, so a mistyped path loaded. - An epoch name finer than a nanosecond, which loaded as a different instant, its own restatement check comparing against the truncated value. Two beyond the loader. An unquoted `end_time: 2024-07-01` is a date to YAML, which `to_datetime64` refused outright -- and end times can only be stated inside a file, so every closed epoch in a hand-authored directory hit it, as did the single-file reader long before this branch. And the API doc indexer tested `base_address not in key`, a substring where a prefix was meant, so a module named after another claimed everything it imported: 24 entries were credited to inventory_loader, 21 of them belonging to inventory, with unsorted glob order picking which file survived. Three remain, which are its own. Declined: folding case across the hierarchy join, since codes are case-sensitive to the models and to resolve, and the rule here is about what a filesystem can hold rather than about identity; and a doc page, since the inventory has none yet by plan -- the docs migration is its own phase, and the format is documented in the spec repo meanwhile.

When a bounded FiberArray embeds optical_paths in its object file, or a bounded Station embeds channels, _build accepts children whose validity starts before or ends after the parent. The _place path applies _escapes only to children loaded from separate containers, and the final model checks only overlapping identities, so such an inventory loads successfully even though the child is unreachable whenever its parent is ineffective. Apply the same containment validation to embedded time-ranged children.

Declined, though the asymmetry is real. Containment is checked where the loader chooses the placement: a child in its own container is matched to a parent epoch by time, and refusing one which escapes that epoch is part of making the choice honestly. A child a file nests directly has no such choice to make — the file says which parent holds it. Enforcing it there would make a directory refuse an inventory that FiberArray(optical_paths=...) accepts and that to_yaml/from_yaml round-trips, so the same content would be legal or not depending on how it reached the model. If parent/child containment should hold everywhere, it belongs in the models' own check(), where it would cover both routes; that is worth doing and is a larger change than this PR.

load_directory is a new public, non-underscore API, but its path parameter has no type annotation, contrary to the repository requirement that public functions be type hinted.

When an entity directory contains a valid attrs.yaml plus a direct field note such as notes.yaml with no inventory type (or even malformed YAML), this branch raises solely because the filename has an object suffix. That contradicts the loader's clean-miss behavior and differs from nested notes, which _refuse_stray_objects already ignores unless they declare a known model. Only reject a non-attrs file here when it actually declares an inventory object.

Fixed in e72e6c3. _attrs_file now refuses only a file which declares an inventory object, so a notes.yaml beside attrs.yaml is ignored exactly as the same note one directory deeper already was. A misnamed atrs.yaml which declares a type still raises, and one which declares nothing leaves the directory with no attrs file, which raises for that reason instead.

When to_datetime64 receives a Python date outside the representable datetime64[ns] range—for example directly, or from unquoted YAML such as 2500-01-01—constructing np.datetime64(..., "ns") silently wraps the value to a different century. The new handler therefore returns an instant other than the start of the supplied day and can corrupt inventory epoch placement; validate the range before returning, as the filename epoch parser already does.

Fixed in e72e6c3, and the range check reads the result back as text rather than converting through datetime64[D] — the first attempt did the latter and rejected 1677-09-22, which is representable but converts back as 2262-04-11. Note this leaves date deliberately stricter than str for the same day, since to_datetime64("2500-01-01") still wraps: that is the pre-existing behavior of every other spelling, now filed as #890 with the blast radius written down. Guarding the new handler was worth doing on its own; making the rest agree is its own change.
Five of eight, both bots having independently found the first: - The new date handler wrapped silently outside the nanosecond range, so an unquoted `end_time: 2500-01-01` read as 1915. It is refused now, by reading the result back as text rather than through datetime64[D], which is itself unreliable at the boundary: 1677-09-22 is representable and converts back as 2262-04-11. Every other spelling of a time still wraps, which is #890; this one is guarded because it is new, not because it is special. - A symlink pointing at the inventory root made a valid directory fail to load, since the walk found its own acquisition file a second time, in a place where nothing contained it. Symlinks are not part of the format and are stepped over. - An envelope stating only its own type read as no envelope at all, so a directory holding just inventory.yaml was refused as holding nothing. Absence is None now, rather than an empty mapping. - A field note beside an attrs file was refused for its suffix alone, while the same note one directory deeper was ignored. Only a file declaring an inventory object is misfiled there. - `load_directory` and `inventory` are public and now say what they take. Declined, with the reasons on the PR: adding `date` to `timeable_types`, which already omits `datetime` -- a spelling `to_datetime64` has long accepted -- so adding one and not the other would encode a new inconsistency in a public alias; and applying epoch containment to children stated inline in a file, since the loader checks containment where it chooses the placement, and doing so for content a file nests directly would make a directory refuse an inventory the models accept and `to_yaml` round-trips.
The test for two names differing only by case wrote both and expected a collision, which cannot happen on a filesystem that folds case: the second write replaces the first, so one file exists and nothing collides. Five macOS and Windows jobs failed on it, all with the same DID NOT RAISE, while the rule they were failing is the reason the guard exists -- an inventory authored where both names fit must not quietly lose one when it is copied somewhere they do not. The collision test now skips where it cannot be built, decided once at collection, and the half which can be checked anywhere -- that the two are reported as differing by case rather than as some other collision -- is pinned separately, so no platform is left without coverage of the rule.

Five of six, three of which lose or invent what a file said: - A symlinked `path` directory was read as an epoch, so an entity could pull its optical path from outside the inventory root. is_dir follows a link and the stray walk steps over one, which left this the only reader looking through it. - Two path directories differing only by case loaded as two lineages, and one of them disappears the moment the inventory is copied somewhere they are the same directory -- the portability rule every top-level identity already follows. - A table with a header and no rows built one object out of no points, which reached the model as a distance map missing every field it requires. It states no track and is refused as such. Also: the parallel-column error counted positions inside a group of a frame which had been sorted and split, so it named a line the reader would open and find something else on; it carries the frame's own index now. And the row-width check streams rather than listing the file, since a track table is the part of this format meant to grow and holding every cell beside the frame pandas builds costs several times what the frame does. Declined: constraining a path epoch to the fiber array epoch holding it. Containment is checked where the loader CHOOSES the placement -- an acquisition is matched to an array epoch by time, and refusing one which escapes is part of choosing honestly. A path directory states its own nesting, so there is no choice to make, and refusing it here would make a directory reject an inventory `FiberArray(optical_paths=...)` accepts and `to_yaml` round-trips. Filling the bare `path` start from the array, which this branch does, is the opposite case: an unstated fact taken from the address, as every name in this format supplies one. If the rule should hold everywhere it belongs in the model's own check, covering both routes; that is the same answer given on #889.

Description
An inventory can now be laid out as a directory of YAML or JSON files, which
dc.inventoryloads:This is the first half of the authoring format: small heterogeneous objects, which fit a file each. The other half — the track tables a field crew maintains as spreadsheets, and the optical path epoch directories which hold them — follows next, and until it lands both are refused by name rather than ignored, so a directory can never load an entity which silently lacks the tracks it states.
The contract, in one line: file declares type, container agrees, name implies identity, envelope implies version.
Names are addresses
The hierarchy is never built by nesting; it materializes from names, the same convention hive-style archives already use.
acquisitions/DAS.L001..RAW.yamlis networkDAS, fiber arrayL001, blank location, acquisitionRAW— so that one file is a loadable inventory, and the network and array it names exist because it named them. An@suffix names an epoch (...RAW@2024-06-01.yaml), and a child is placed in the container epoch effective when it started; falling in no epoch is misfiled and falling in several is ambiguous, both of which raise rather than pick one.An address may be restated inside the file, and a restatement which disagrees raises. There is never a precedence rule between two spellings of one fact — including the epoch suffix, which is checked against the file's own
start_timewhen it states one and fills it when it does not.Type is declared, and the container only checks it
Every object file states what it is. The container is never the source of that statement: a
type: Acquisitionfile underfiber_arrays/is misfiled rather than reinterpreted, and a file which declares nothing has not participated in the format.Only the five models sharing the resource union carry
typeas a real discriminating field. Everywhere else it belongs to the format rather than the model — inventory models areextra="forbid"— so the loader consumes it. Two tests pin that split to the models rather than to this reading of them.Strict near-miss, indifferent clean-miss
A typo like
aquisitions/must not quietly load an inventory with no acquisitions, so a model-declaring file which nothing contains raises. Everything which does not participate — photos, field notes, deployment logs, dotfiles — is ignored where it lies, including a YAML file which declares no type or does not parse at all. Errors name their file.One identity is spelled once: two extensions of one stem, two names differing only by case, and a name spelled as both a file and a directory each raise, as do two epoch names resolving to one instant (
@2024-06-01and@2024-06-01T000000), which is textually two things and temporally one.Where it lives
The loader is a new module rather than more of
core/inventory.py, which is the model layer and already long. The publicinventory()factory moves there with it, since routing a source to the right reader is a loading concern and keeping it beside the models would have made the dependency circular.Inventory.from_yamlstays on the model, anddc.inventoryis unchanged for every caller.Two fixes outside the loader
An unquoted
end_time: 2024-07-01is adateto YAML, andto_datetime64refused one outright. End times can only be stated inside a file, so every closed epoch in a hand-authored directory hit this — as didInventory.from_yaml, long before this branch. Adateis now the instant its day starts;datetime, being a subclass, keeps its own handler.The API doc indexer tested
base_address not in key, a substring where a prefix was meant, so a module named after another claimed everything it imports. Measured on this branch: 24 entries credited toinventory_loader, 21 of them belonging tocore.inventory, with unsortedgloborder deciding which.qmdsurvived and link validation staying green throughout. After the fix, the three that are genuinely its own. Any futurefoo_bar.pybesidefoo.pywould have hit this.Tests
Each rule has a test which fails without it, and the assembly tests pin both sides: an acquisition landing in the second array epoch also asserts the first has none, so an implementation which put every child everywhere would not pass. Three tests pin the container registry to the models — the identity tokens, the resource union, and which models carry a
typefield — so a new model or a renamed field fails here rather than silently narrowing what can be authored.Guards are checked one clause at a time rather than whole. Disabling
_escapesentirely failed a test while deleting either single end of it did not, which is how the far end came to be tested against an unset end time and no other.Review
Six reviewers, in parallel and blind to each other: five subagents by lens (correctness, test vacuity, blast radius, redundancy, prose) and Codex as the non-Claude perspective. 24 correctness findings. Two arrived independently from Codex and the correctness lens — the collection-replacement defect — and three converged on the hidden-file branch from different directions, which turned out to be both wrong and untestable by the tests written for it.
