Read an inventory's track tables and optical path epochs - #894
Conversation
The other half of the authoring format, and the end of the seam guard (a) put in its place. An entity directory's CSVs now fill the attribute each one is named for, and a fiber array's `path*` directories are the optical path epochs which hold them. Tables come in the two shapes the attribute decides. A row is one object for components, coupling and annotations; a row is one control point for geometry, which groups its points into segments, and for a distance map, which is the single object every point belongs to. Rows are read in the order their own column states rather than the order they sit in, so re-sorting a spreadsheet is harmless. A cell's value is the field's to interpret, except an annotation's, which a CSV cannot type and whose text therefore decides it -- and a group holds one kind, since the kind is what decides the group's shape. Coordinates are stored on the canonical axes while a geometry table names them the way its frame does, so the envelope is read first: it is what says which headers are legal and what each one means. A path directory is an entity like any other, with its name carrying its location and the instant it starts. Each location is its own lineage: sorted by start, an epoch runs until its successor and the last is ongoing. An epoch may state an earlier end itself -- a dark interval -- but not a later one, which would claim time its successor already holds. Three things pandas does quietly, which a format about being loud cannot keep: - A row wider than its header pushes the first column into the index, so every value lands one field left of its meaning: `0,340,conduit,extra` loaded as start_distance=340, end_distance=conduit. Neither the default nor index_col=False refuses it, so row widths are checked against the header before the frame is built. - A repeated header is renamed rather than refused, so the second coupling_type became `coupling_type.1` and reached the model as an unknown field. The header is read once by itself, before pandas sees it, which is also where the no-columns case can say what it expected. - The default null values read a cell holding NA or null as empty. Only a truly empty cell is unset here, because an empty cell means unset and a document which writes NA means the string.
Components tile the path, each starting where the previous ends, so two rows sharing a sequence are ordered by where they happen to sit in the file -- which is the one thing that column exists to stop deciding anything. It loaded silently; the spec has always said it raises. Its neighbour rule needed no code: a cell which does not pertain to its row's type, a fiber colour on a splice, is refused by the model, which declares no such field. Pinned by a test rather than restated here.
Four could load a wrong inventory rather than raise, and every one of them was a row quietly leaving the table: - A blank grouping cell took its row out of every group, because that is what a null key does to `groupby`. A geometry table whose points all left `segment` empty loaded as no geometry at all. - A blank ordering cell sorted last and passed the duplicate check, a lone null being unique, so a component with no stated sequence was placed at the end of the tiling instead of saying it had no place. - Each column dropped its own nulls and the survivors were re-zipped by position, so `5,` above `,100` mapped channel 5 to a distance the file never gave it -- the same defect as a row wider than its header, one axis over. - An optical path epoch was read before its fiber array's own name was, so the bare `path` directory kept an unset start and claimed the unbounded past, beginning before the array which holds it. A column a table is read by must now be stated by every row, and a column read as a parallel array must be stated by every point or by none. Three legs found the epoch one, three the sequence column dropped from tables which never had one, and three the comment claiming a test pinned the table registry -- which no test did. That test exists now, and it is what would have caught a typo'd key being reported as "not a row-shaped attribute", confidently and wrongly. Also: an int and a float are one kind to an annotation group, as they are to the model, rather than one kind or two according to which row was written first; `1e3` is integral, which only the number knows and the text refuses; both readers decode alike, since a locale-encoded header disagrees with pandas' UTF-8 and a byte order mark reaches only one of them; `_times_equal` decides whether two epochs start together, because NaT equals nothing and two undated epochs of one lineage would never collide; and a lineage error names the file it means rather than a suffixless `attrs` which does not exist. Ten mutations the suite used to survive now fail it, including grouping ignored entirely, the two lineages pooled into one, and `NA` read as empty rather than as what the author wrote.

Windows strips a trailing dot from a name, so `path.` and `path` are one directory there and the blank location cannot be spelled twice -- the collision the test builds is unbuildable, and it failed with DID NOT RAISE on both Windows jobs. The same shape as the case-folding skip already here, and the same remedy: the directory test skips where the directories cannot exist, decided once at collection, and the comparison it exists to pin -- that two undated epochs of one lineage collide even though NaT equals nothing, itself included -- is pinned directly, where every platform runs it.

When a fiber-array directory represents a bounded epoch, this loads and attaches every nested path without checking that the path's interval fits inside the array's interval. For example, an array ending in June can contain path@2025-01-01, and the last path in a lineage can remain ongoing past the array's end; unlike acquisitions, these paths never pass through _place/_escapes. The resulting inventory silently contains path metadata outside its parent epoch and that metadata is unreachable through time-based resolution, so validate both path bounds against the containing array before assigning the lineage.

Declined, and this is the same answer given on #889 rather than a new one. Containment is checked where the loader CHOOSES the placement: an acquisition is matched to a fiber array epoch by time, and refusing one which escapes that epoch is part of making the choice honestly. A path directory states its own nesting, so there is no choice to make — and refusing it here would mean a directory rejects 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. Note the branch does fill the bare path start from its array, which is the opposite case: an unstated fact taken from the address, exactly as every name in this format supplies one. If parent/child containment should hold everywhere it belongs in the models check(), where it would cover both routes — worth doing, and larger than this PR.

When distance_map.csv contains a valid header but no data rows, _point_rows returns an empty list and this expression raises a bare IndexError. That bypasses the loader's InvalidInventoryError contract and provides no file-specific diagnostic for an invalid inventory; explicitly reject an empty single-object table before indexing it.

Fixed in 751d377, and the first attempt was wrong in a way worth recording: guarding built[0] did nothing, because with no grouping column _point_rows yields ONE group even for an empty frame, so built was [{}] rather than [] and the model raised about a missing field instead. The check is now on the frame — a header with nothing under it claims a track and states none, for either shape.

For the large track tables this format is intended to support, converting the entire csv.reader to a list retains every cell as Python objects while pd.read_csv reads and allocates the same table again. A geometry or distance-map CSV with millions of rows can therefore consume several times its eventual DataFrame size and be killed for memory even though pandas alone could load it. Read the header with next() and validate subsequent row widths in a streaming loop so only the DataFrame remains resident.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Fixed in 751d377. The header is read with next() and the widths validated in a streaming loop, so only the frame stays resident. A 2000-point geometry table is pinned as a test, mostly to keep the streaming form from being quietly reverted to a list.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When an entity contains a symlink named path or path.<location>, Path.is_dir() follows it, so _is_path_dir accepts it; _refuse_stray_objects then deliberately skips the symlink, but _merge_paths subsequently reads its attrs and tables from outside the inventory root. This contradicts the loader's existing rule that symlinks are not part of the authoring format and can silently import unrelated external metadata. Exclude child.is_symlink() here before recognizing a path directory.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed in 751d377. is_dir() follows the link and _refuse_stray_objects deliberately steps over symlinks, which left _merge_paths the only reader looking through one — so a symlinked path pulled an epoch in from outside the inventory root with nothing having inspected it. It is now excluded where the directory is recognized, matching the rule the stray walk already follows.

On a case-sensitive host, directories such as path.aa and path.AA are both collected and then treated as separate location lineages, so the inventory loads successfully. Copying that inventory to Windows or a typical macOS filesystem cannot preserve both directories and silently loses one path, even though _container_entries already rejects this exact portability hazard for every top-level identity. Apply the same case-folded collision check to optical-path directory names before loading them.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed in 751d377 — and thank you for framing it as the portability hazard, which is what makes it worth refusing rather than a nicety. _container_entries applies exactly this rule to every top-level identity, and path lineages had simply been missed. The test skips where the filesystem folds case, since the two directories cannot exist there; that pattern is already in this file for the same reason.
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.
Station.channels is as row-shaped as anything this format reads and still has no table, so the message refusing channels.csv was stating something false about the model the author is looking at. It now says what is true: this format does not read that attribute as a table.

Description
The other half of the authoring format, and the end of the seam guard #889 put in its place. An entity directory's CSVs now fill the attribute each is named for, and a fiber array's
path*directories are the optical path epochs which hold them — so the tree inAPI/authoring.qmdloads whole:Tables come in the two shapes the attribute decides
A row is one object for components, coupling and annotations; a row is one control point for geometry, which gathers its points into segments, and for a distance map, which is the single object every point belongs to. A table is matched to the model purely by name, so a stem naming no attribute is a typo rather than a new track, and an attribute stated both inline and as a table is one fact spelled twice.
Rows are read in the order their own column states rather than the order they sit in, so re-sorting a spreadsheet is harmless. A cell's value is the field's to interpret, except an annotation's, which a CSV cannot type and whose text therefore decides it — and a group holds one kind, since the kind is what decides the group's shape. An int and a float are one kind there, as they are to the model.
Coordinates are stored on the canonical axes while a geometry table names them the way its frame does, so the envelope is read first: it is what says which headers are legal and what each one means.
Path epochs are entities, and a location is a lineage
A
path*directory is an entity like any other, its name carrying its location and the instant it starts. Each location code is its own lineage: sorted by start, an epoch runs until its successor and the last is ongoing. An epoch may state an earlier end itself — a dark interval — but not a later one, which would claim time its successor already holds. The barepathdirectory is the first epoch and starts where its fiber array does; left unset it would claim the unbounded past, beginning before the array which holds it.What pandas does quietly, which a format about being loud cannot keep
Four behaviours had to be overridden rather than inherited, each of which silently changed or lost what a file said:
0,340,conduit,extraloaded asstart_distance=340, end_distance=conduit. Neither the default norindex_col=Falserefuses it — the latter drops the surplus cell with a warning — so row widths are checked against the header before the frame is built.coupling_typebecamecoupling_type.1and reached the model as an unknown field. The header is read once by itself, before pandas sees it.groupbydefaults todropna=True, so a geometry table whose points leftsegmentempty loaded as no geometry at all.NAornullas empty. Only a truly empty cell is unset here, because an empty cell means unset and a document which writesNAmeans the string.Review
Six reviewers, in parallel and blind to each other: five subagents by lens and Codex as the non-Claude perspective. Four findings could load a wrong inventory rather than raise, and every one was a row quietly leaving the table — the blank grouping cell above, a blank ordering cell placed last instead of refused, per-column compaction pairing values which never shared a row (
5,above,100mapping channel 5 to a distance the file never gave it), and the path epoch read before its array's own name was.Three legs independently found the epoch defect, three the
sequencecolumn dropped from tables which never had one, and three a comment claiming a test pinned the table registry — which no test did. That test exists now, and it is what would have caught a typo'd key being reported as "not a row-shaped attribute", confidently and wrongly.The test-vacuity leg ran 60 single-clause mutations with a no-op control and a known-real mutation, so its harness was shown to discriminate before its findings were trusted. Ten mutations the suite used to survive now fail it, including grouping ignored entirely, two lineages pooled into one, and
NAread as empty.Declined, with reasons: folding
_load_pathinto_load_entrythrough a nested container, and splitting the module in two. Both are defensible and neither prevents a defect that is not fixed directly here; the specific bug the first would have avoided is fixed on its own.Changelog
