`create_mcp_server` promised one database and accepted a scope covering a set,
where the write tools exist and fail on use. It refuses that now.
Resolving is the public factory's job, as it is `HaikuRAG`'s: `_covering` takes
a scope someone already resolved, so the configured name survives without a
`DatabaseScope` reaching the public signature.
The test that a scope decides the database asserted `all(...)` over a search
that could return nothing, which held whatever the server read. It reads the
listing instead, so alpha's documents being present and beta's absent both have
to be true.
`run_mcp` derived a path and a configuration for the server, and deriving drops
the configured name: MCP results and citations carried `source=None` where the
same database named through any other path carried "alpha".
`create_mcp_server` takes the resolved scope and opens through it, so the name
survives. Passing a path and configuration still works and resolves to the same
place.
`run_mcp` passed `_path`, the local stand-in a URI-backed ref resolves to for
display. A path overrides `lancedb.uri`, so `--db-name` on an S3 database
served the local default. It passes the ref's own path now, None where a URI
placed the database, and `create_mcp_server` accepts that.
The client opened around the server is gone. It never served a request, and it
opened the scope rather than the derived path, so startup validated the remote
database while the server read the local one.
The CLI reports this error, and importing it from the settings repository
pulled lancedb onto the CLI's import path. Deferring the import into cli()
bought nothing, since cli() runs on every invocation: it cost about 1.9
seconds on a cold start, `--help` included.
It now sits beside the other store exceptions, in a module that imports
nothing, and every importer points there.
haiku.rag.config exported two configuration instances: the lazy _config
behind get_config/set_config, and Config, loaded at import time. Nothing
linked them, and eleven signatures captured Config as a default argument,
so set_config could not reach the factories, the client, the store or the
MCP server. reranking/base.py went further and snapshotted the configured
reranker name into a class attribute at import.
Config is removed. Internal defaults are config: AppConfig | None = None,
resolved through get_config() per call. RerankerBase._model is None and
CohereReranker takes its model name as an argument, like every other
reranker.
The suite patched attributes on Config while production read the instance
get_config() returns, a different object, so those patches were no-ops
waiting to happen. They now go through get_config().
All ten tool bodies opened their own `HaikuRAG`, so every tool call paid a
connection open and, on object storage, refetched the index the previous call had
just cached. The client is now opened once, lazily so that calling a tool
function directly still works, and eagerly from the lifespan so an unopenable
database fails startup instead of every call. Teardown clears the cached client
in a finally, since `_lifespan_manager` can be re-entered and would otherwise
hand out a closed connection, including when the close itself fails.
`delete_document` no longer opens its own connection with `skip_validation=True`.
Keeping it separate broke consistency once connections became long-lived: the
delete committed on one connection while reads served from another, which with a
30s consistency interval showed the deleted document as still present. A
connection always sees its own writes, so sharing one is what makes delete
visible to the next read.
So the server no longer opts out of embedding-config validation. Drift that
validation rejects now fails MCP startup, where before the server started and
only `delete_document` worked while every read returned empty. Same-dimension
identity drift still starts a read-only server, matching every other read verb.
Delete under drift is now a CLI operation; CLAUDE.md and the CHANGELOG record it.
Add tests for the MCP tools' degradation contracts, malformed WebDAV
multistatus bodies, dry-run poller sweeps including the circuit-open and
discover-failure paths, FS source scheme and symlink handling, docling-serve
zip parsing, and the remaining embedding and reranker helpers. Parametrize
_strip_etag.
Drop the misplaced pragma on the analyze handler, which sat on the return and
left the except uncovered. Add one on the FS symlink OSError guard, which
resolve(strict=False) absorbs for every real link.
