DatabaseRef is a name and a location. The configuration places databases
through lancedb.databases alone; with none configured the default is the
entry haiku.rag under storage.data_dir, selectable like any other.
lancedb.uri is removed, and a config carrying it fails to load with the
replacement spelled out. A path passed from Python is valid where the
configuration places nothing and raises AmbiguousDatabaseError beside
lancedb.databases; haiku-rag --db and haiku-ingester --db construct the
scope directly, so a human's override keeps working. Every database
answers to a name, and a database given as a path keeps its own errors.
Store, connect_lancedb, gather_database_info and run_doctor take a
location, a path or a URI, and classify it with ConnectionMode.of.
SingleDatabaseSession owns the resolved DatabaseRef and passes its
location down. This removes DatabaseRef.connection(), default_db_path,
the placeholder path for URI-backed databases and the per-database
config copies, so the configuration a client holds is the one the caller
gave it. The chat hands its capabilities the scope it opened along with
the client it lends, and the v0.58.0 migration no longer checks local
free disk for a database behind a URI.
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.
They opened a client on `tmp_path / "unused"` with the bucket in the
configuration. An explicit path now selects the database, so the client
tests ran against the local disk and the two app tests failed. Nothing names
a path any more, and both helpers assert the connection is remote before
yielding, so a later precedence change cannot quietly localize them again.
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.
engine.py held four unrelated things: what the tables are, how to open a
connection, how to read a database's state, and the Store that coordinates
writes. At 1240 lines the Store's own concerns — locks, migrations, vacuum,
tags — were hard to find among them.
Table records, Arrow schemas, index_specs, ensure_indexes, REQUIRED_TABLES
and query_to_pydantic move to store/schema.py, which imports nothing from
haiku.rag: it describes the tables and never opens or mutates one.
gather_database_info, get_database_stats, DatabaseInfo and its result models
move to store/info.py. Nothing in Store calls them — they are read paths for
the CLI, doctor, inspector and ingester API — so info depends on engine and
not the reverse.
engine.py keeps the Store, ConnectionMode, connect_lancedb, the tag helpers
and the restore-order and retention constants. No re-exports: importers
point at the new modules.
test_app_info_uses_connect_lancedb_for_remote patched
haiku.rag.store.engine.connect_lancedb; gather_database_info now binds that
name in info.py, so the patch targets where the call is looked up.
Convert all LanceDB operations from sync calls wrapped in async
functions to the native async API (connect_async, AsyncConnection,
AsyncTable, AsyncQuery). Database I/O no longer blocks the event loop.
- Store and HaikuRAG use async context managers (async with). Store
initialization is deferred to __aenter__; direct construction
without async with is no longer supported.
- Index creation uses config objects (FTS, BTree, IvfPq) instead of
string-based index_type parameter.
- Upgrade callbacks are async.
- HaikuRAG tracks background vacuum tasks and awaits them in __aexit__
and before destructive rebuild operations to avoid races with
concurrent table mutations.
- temp_db_path fixture uses pytest's tmp_path for reliable async
cleanup.
