Comments and docstrings across the branch narrated rejected
alternatives, consequences and history; each now states the current
contract. Renames test_a_legacy_uri_client_keeps_its_error to
test_an_unnamed_database_keeps_its_error. Documents the Sandbox
connection paths, the citation header's database segment, both
AmbiguousDatabaseError conditions on create_app, and run_inspector's
scope parameter. Doc paragraphs added by the branch in python.md,
storage.md and cli.md are one physical line each.
A URI-backed database is constructed with a local `db_path` nothing connects
to, and the info modal reported that, so `--db-name` on an S3 database named a
local directory. `location` reads the configuration instead, and the modal
labels it as one.
`InfoModal`'s `db_path` argument is gone: both callers passed None, so only a
test reached the branch that used it.
The CLI decides only what it knows — that --db and --database are the same
thing said twice, and whether a command reads more than one — and hands the
resolved scope down. Nothing rewrites the configuration, so a named database
keeps the name results and citations carry, and a remote one opens the URI
it was configured with rather than the local path standing in for it.
HaikuRAGApp, ChatApp and InspectorApp take that scope and nothing else.
Selection reaches the client through a private constructor, so the public
signature still takes a path or names.
Sixty-three comments said what the next statement already said: # Connect to
LanceDB above connect_lancedb, # Path object above isinstance(source, Path),
# Get page numbers from provenance above the prov loop, # Clear and populate
results above list_view.clear(). They cost a read and carry nothing.
The line is whether a comment restates one statement or labels a phase. Phase
labels stay: the migrations keep # Create staging table with new schema and
# Copy from staging to final table in batches, each heading ten lines of a
long procedure. So do comments carrying a fact the code cannot: the
merge_insert update-only note on document_meta, why the poller builds sources
eagerly, why create_document_from_source returns a list for directories, that
indexes need training data, the field-group markers in the config models, and
the file:// URL-encoding note in create_document_from_source.
capabilities/ is untouched. Its docstrings sit next to prompt surface, and
changing them needs an eval to back it.
The cassette-recording docs were wrong three ways. They named
tests/test_qa.py::test_qa_anthropic, which no longer exists; they targeted
whole modules, so a rewrite would re-record cassettes for services the
recorder is not running; and they used COHERE_API_KEY where the SDK reads
CO_API_KEY. docs/development.md now names exact tests with -n0, and the keyed
example is test_cohere_reranker, which owns the one cassette recording
api.cohere.com.
ChatApp and InspectorApp assigned self.client before __aenter__
completed, so a failed open was masked by an AttributeError from
on_unmount tearing down the never-opened client.
