Description

Phase 2 of the annotations work (follows #911). Adds the models: AnnotationSet and the geometry and curve objects it hands out. Models only — the store/loader is phase 3 and the spool integration is phase 4, so there is no dc.annotations door and no edit verbs here.

An annotation set describes data — picks, events, noisy hours, vehicle lines — in the frame of the patches it was made on. Facts about the fiber belong to the inventory instead, in optical distance.

The set

dc.AnnotationSet(frame, dims=...) is immutable and dataframe-backed: one row per annotation, with Annotation models built as a lazy view of a row rather than held. Dimensions are spelled in the columns:

Spelling Means
<dim>_start / <dim>_end a half-open range [start, end)
bare <dim> a point
no column unconstrained

Spelling one dimension both ways, stating half a range (as a column pair or in a single row), or a range which ends before it starts are all refused at load — structural validation happens when the set is built, not when a row is later touched.

Unknown columns carry as per-annotation extras. An undeclared <name>_start/<name>_end pair raises instead, since that is a dimension the set forgot to declare rather than two unrelated extras.

Geometry

Region (per-dimension point-or-interval, subsuming point/span/box), Path and Polygon. Per the decision taken during review, paths and polygons keep their vertices in a separate tidy frame keyed by annotation id — id, seq, and one bare column per dimension — and an id is therefore required of those rows. Their bounding region is derived from the vertices, so table operations treat every geometry alike; a row stating a box which disagrees with its own vertices is refused rather than quietly corrected.

Line and Moveout form a tagged union (object_type, via the model registry) that a row may carry in a basis column, as either the model or its document. A basis is not a geometry: it is the curve the vertices were drawn from, and it can regenerate them at any resolution.

Every curve is stated in its dimensions' own coordinates — a time endpoint is a datetime64, a distance is metres — so it is anchored without a separate origin, and basis.vertices(n) produces values that drop straight into the vertices frame. Parameterizing in a dimension's raw numbers instead would put a moveout apex at 1.6e18 nanoseconds and its velocity in metres per nanosecond.

  • Line is two endpoints rather than a slope and intercept. A slope cannot spell a line of constant time across distance — an instant, a shot, a trigger — which is an ordinary thing to annotate, and endpoints are what a person draws when they drag from one place to another. The endpoints also name the dimensions, so nothing states them twice.
  • Moveout is physics rather than geometry, pinned to distance against time: apex_distance, apex_time, velocity in m/s, and a standoff (perpendicular distance from the fiber to the source) defaulting to zero. apex_time is both the earliest arrival and the curve's anchor. A source on the cable has no standoff and leaves the straight V of a wave running both ways at velocity; a standoff bends it into the hyperbola a point source makes.

Reused from phase 1

value_kind and normalize_value back the value rules: a group holds one kind of value (boolean before int, so 1 never becomes True), and a non-finite value is refused. Overlap is deliberately not checked — it only means anything where a set is projected onto a coordinate, so it stays deferred.

Assumptions worth a look

  • Ellipse was cut. The doc named it "day one", but it was filling out a trio: there is no DAS quantity it represents, its rotation mixes seconds against metres (so the shape depends on a plot's aspect ratio rather than on the data), and DerZug's ellipse is a screen gesture. A screen gesture belongs with the viz work, not in the data model.
  • Hyperbola became Moveout. It was named geometrically but parameterized physically (a velocity), drew only one branch, and would have accepted dims flipped to time→distance, at which point velocity stops meaning velocity.
  • Provenance is three existing concepts, not one free field. The design doc's source ("processing history, default acquisition_key") was the union of two ideas and could validate neither, so it is split along the precedents the repo already has: acquisition_key: str validated with validate_acquisition_key and capped at max_lens["acquisition_key"], exactly as PatchAttrs spells it; history: tuple[str, ...] in PatchAttrs.history's shape, since picks made on decimated or filtered data have coordinates which only mean something against that lineage; and creation_info, the inventory's existing model, identifying what produced the annotations (author="phasenet", version="2.1", agency_id="INERIS", or author="derrick" for a person). Anything further — a source file, a model checkpoint — goes in its extra_fields. No new concepts.
  • A set may span acquisitions, so acquisition_key is also a reserved column: a row naming its own overrides the set-level address, and a blank cell falls back to it. Row-level keys are validated the same way.
  • The doc's "default acquisition_key" is deliberately not implemented here — nothing at the model layer knows a patch. The fields exist, validated, defaulting empty; producers fill them, and phase 4 adds the patch-derived constructor (AnnotationSet.from_patch(patch, df)) which stamps both off patch.attrs. split_on consumes sets and stamps nothing.
  • Immutability is enforced where a caller can reach: frames are handed out as copies, models are frozen, and mutable cells are frozen when read into extra. A mutable object inside a cell of the frame returned by to_dataframe() is still shared with the set's own frame, which pandas cannot copy for us; this is documented rather than worked around.
  • Narrative docs are phase 5. The API reference picks up the docstrings automatically, and build_api_docs.py runs clean over the new module.

P2 Badge Keep annotation IDs intact during basis validation

When a frame contains geometry, basis, and a non-empty parent, this assignment replaces the normalized annotation-ID series with a Boolean basis mask. The subsequent orphan check therefore compares parent strings against {True, False} and rejects even valid parent references, preventing hierarchies from being combined with basis-bearing geometries.

P2 Badge Validate basis cells when geometry defaults to region

When a frame contains a basis column but omits geometry, kinds is None and this validation is skipped even though the row defaults to a region. Construction consequently succeeds, but _geometry() returns a Region and silently discards the reserved basis data; this should be rejected just like an explicit geometry="region" row carrying a basis.

P2 Badge Reject dimensions that alias generated range columns

If one declared dimension is named like another dimension's generated bound, such as dims=("distance", "distance_start"), the same distance_start column is interpreted both as the start of the distance range and as a point on the distance_start dimension. This silently creates two constraints from one value and leaves no unambiguous way to encode the latter dimension, so colliding dimension spellings need to be rejected.

A span such as start=0.0, end=float("inf") passes _check_span, but np.linspace then produces non-finite sample coordinates, which propagate through every Line or Hyperbola generated from it.

P2 Badge Freeze array-valued extras before exposing them

When an extra dataframe cell contains a NumPy array, _freeze falls through and returns the same mutable array object. A caller can therefore mutate annotation.extra["name"] in place and change the set's internal dataframe despite the advertised immutable interface; array-like extras need an immutable copy or tuple conversion just like lists and mappings.

P2 Badge Validate vertex counts and lengths in geometry models

When a Path, Polygon, or containing Annotation is constructed directly from a document rather than through AnnotationSet, this field accepts empty coordinate mappings, too few vertices, and coordinate tuples of different lengths. The resulting model can report a length taken from one arbitrary dimension while other dimensions have no corresponding vertices, so the geometry model itself should enforce its minimum count and equal-length coordinate sequences.

P1 Badge Serialize datetime coordinates in geometry documents

For the common case of a time-constrained annotation, _read_bounds deliberately preserves endpoints as np.datetime64, but this Any-typed mapping has no JSON serializer for that NumPy type. Calling model_dump(mode="json") on the resulting Region therefore fails instead of producing the document promised by these models; datetime bounds need the same explicit conversion used by DASCore's datetime model types.

Confirmed and fixed; this was the most valuable of the set, since it meant the models could not produce the document they promise. Bounds and vertices now carry one mode-aware serializer: a json dump writes the string DASCore writes every datetime as, while a python dump keeps the datetime64, which is what equality and new rely on. Reading such a string back as a time is the phase 3 loader's job, since only it knows what each dimension holds.

When a caller passes the natural single-dimension form dims="time", this conversion produces ("t", "i", "m", "e"), and the resulting set silently declares four one-character dimensions.

Confirmed, and fixed by removing the class.

537-552: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider validating basis and acquisition_key cells when the set is built.

_check_ranges documents the rule that a structural problem refuses the set at load time. Two cell problems escape that rule and surface on row access instead:

  • an unreadable basis document raises ParameterError from _read_basis.
  • an invalid acquisition_key cell raises pydantic ValidationError from the Annotation model.

A set can therefore load and then fail on whichever operation touches the bad row, and callers must catch two exception types for the same class of problem. Add the basis and acquisition_key column checks beside _check_ids, and wrap the key failure in ParameterError.

Optional: precompute the vertex lookup by id.

_row_vertices maps _text over the whole vertices frame for every row that is read. Full iteration of a set with many paths costs O(rows × vertices) with a Python-level map per scan. The vertices frame is already sorted by id, so a dict of id to positional slice, built once in __init__, would make each lookup constant time.

Add a parent test that also states geometry and basis.

The current parent cases use only id and parent. The _check_ids implementation rebinds its stated variable when a basis column exists, so a frame that carries geometry, basis, and parent together rejects valid parents. A test with all four columns would catch it.

All 12 review comments from Codex and CodeRabbit are addressed in bd1cfe6f. Each was reproduced against the branch before being acted on; all 11 distinct findings were real.

The most serious was the one both reviewers found independently: _check_ids rebound stated from the annotation-id series to a boolean mask over basis, so any frame carrying geometry, basis and parent together rejected every valid parent. Renamed to has_basis; ids stay bound, and there is now a test whose frame states all three.

Two findings changed design rather than just patching the symptom:

  • Datetime bounds could not be serialized (P1). Region.model_dump(mode="json") raised on np.datetime64. There is now one mode-aware serializer on the coordinate mappings: a json dump writes the string DASCore writes every datetime as, a python dump keeps the datetime64 (which is what equality and new rely on). Reading such a string back as a time is the phase 3 loader's job, since only it knows what each dimension holds.
  • Ellipse.vertices() repeated its first point, which both made count=3 degenerate and contradicted Polygon, where closure is implied and the last vertex is not the first repeated. It now samples with endpoint=False, so an ellipse's vertices can fill a polygon without doubling a point.

The rest: basis validation no longer skips a frame with no geometry column; a dimension may not alias another's range column (dims=("distance", "distance_start")); curve spans and parameters are finite and their two dimensions must differ; Path/Polygon built straight from a document now check for empty, ragged and too-few vertices; numpy-array extras are frozen like lists and mappings; dims="time" is one dimension rather than four one-character ones; and a basis may not name dimensions the set does not declare.

Module is at 100% line coverage (519 statements, 142 tests); full suite, doctests and pre-commit all pass.

Add match to these two pytest.raises(ValidationError) calls.

test_moveout_velocity_positive and test_moveout_standoff_not_negative accept any ValidationError. A future unrelated field change can still raise ValidationError and keep these tests green. Every other validation test in this file pins the message.

1111-1115: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

_row_vertices rescans the whole vertices frame for each annotation.

Line 1113 filters the full frame and applies _text to every vertex id on each call. Iterating a set of N annotations over V vertices costs O(N·V). Building the id-keyed groups once in __init__ makes each lookup constant time.

♻️ Optional refactor

+            )
+        } if not self._vertices.empty else {}

Then read self._vertex_groups.get(_text(identity)) in _geometry instead of scanning.

141-153: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Normalize Point coordinates so Line vertices match Moveout vertices.

Point values keep type Any. If a caller states a Line endpoint as datetime.datetime or pd.Timestamp, _interpolate skips the np.datetime64 branch and returns an object-dtype array of Python datetimes. Moveout.vertices returns datetime64 for the same dimension, so the two bases feed different types into the vertices frame. Normalizing the point values at validation keeps one type per dimension.

♻️ Proposed refactor
+def _place(value):
+    """Read a point, keeping one type per coordinate."""
+    return {k: _scalar(v) for k, v in dict(value).items()}
+
+
 Point = Annotated[
     Mapping[str, Any],
+    BeforeValidator(_place),
     _freeze_map,
     PlainSerializer(_serialize_place, return_type=dict),
 ]

_scalar already converts datetime.datetime, datetime.date, and pd.Timedelta, and leaves other values alone.

Comment thread dascore/core/annotations.py
Phase 2 of the annotations work. An annotation set describes patch data
-- picks, events, noisy hours -- in the frame of the patches it was made
on, where the inventory describes the fiber.

A set is dataframe-backed and immutable: one row per annotation, columns
naming the dimensions it constrains, and model objects built as a lazy
view of a row. `<dim>_start`/`<dim>_end` state a half-open range, a bare
`<dim>` states a point, and an unnamed dimension is unconstrained.

Paths and polygons keep their vertices in a second tidy frame keyed by
annotation id, which is why an id is required of them; their bounding
region is derived from those vertices so table operations treat every
geometry alike. Curves (Line, Hyperbola, Ellipse) are a tagged union a
row may carry beside the vertices they generated, not a geometry of
their own.

Addressed in the latest push, along with the curve rework discussed offline.

The dtype finding is real and worse than minor. On pandas 3 a plain text column has dtype str, so the most obvious declaration a user would write produced a self-contradictory rejection:

The column 'note' states dtype str but holds str.

Now resolved with pd.api.types.pandas_dtype as suggested. I compare by dtype.name rather than is_dtype_equal, because a column documented as category says it is categorical, not which categories it holds — pandas_dtype("category") carries no categories, so is_dtype_equal rejects every real categorical column. Names still tell a datetime64[ns] from a datetime64[us], and there are tests for str, category, Int64, the unit distinction, and a genuine mismatch.

Separately, the curve union was reworked after review with the maintainer, which supersedes the earlier Line/Hyperbola/Ellipse shapes:

  • Curves are now stated in their dimensions' own coordinates, so a curve is anchored without a separate origin and basis.vertices(n) output drops straight into the vertices frame. The previous version returned floats for a datetime dimension, so the one behaviour the design specified — regenerating vertices — did not actually hold.
  • Line is two endpoints rather than slope/intercept: a slope cannot express a line of constant time across distance (an instant, a shot, a trigger).
  • Hyperbola became Moveout, pinned to distancetime, with apex_distance, apex_time, velocity (m/s) and standoff (perpendicular metres to the source, default 0, which leaves the straight V).
  • Ellipse was cut: no DAS quantity it represents, and its rotation mixed seconds against metres, making the shape depend on a plot's aspect ratio rather than on the data.
