The collection block was chosen when the capability was built, so a run narrowed
through `state.sources` to one collection was still told how to attribute across
collections it could not reach, while its results correctly carried no
`Collection:` line.
`get_instructions` composes it per run instead, from `state.sources` where the
question narrowed the conversation and from the lent client or the scope
otherwise. Order is preamble, base instructions, collection block.
`format_for_agent` named the database whenever one was named, so a search over
a single named database carried a line with nothing to distinguish. It now takes
`include_collection` from the caller, which decides from the search selection
rather than from the hits: a search that could have drawn on two collections
names them even when everything came back from one.
`Collection:` at the model boundary, database in configuration and
administration. `source` on results, documents, citations and analysis
dictionaries is unchanged.
`resolve_citations` documented the behaviour it now rejects: a shared chunk id
resolving to whichever result came last.
The storage page ran two embedding checks together as if the second explained
the first. They are separate: each database against the configuration on open,
and the databases in a selection against each other, which raises in read-only
mode too and does not apply to full-text search.
`several` becomes `multiple` where it names the feature, matching the docs and
`covers_multiple`.
`_documents` took its owner clients inside an ephemeral connection and used
them after that connection closed, then stored them for the file reads that
follow, so every standalone multi-database read went through a closed database.
A sandbox covering a set now retains the client it opened until `close()`. One
database has no owners and keeps its connection no longer than the read that
opened it, so a write from elsewhere is still visible to the next read.
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.
`sessions_for` recorded what opened from `gather`'s results, which arrive only
when it runs to completion. Cancelling it discarded them, so a database that
opened while a sibling was still pending was never recorded and `aclose` never
closed it. `return_exceptions=True` covers a failing child, not a cancelled
parent.
`_open` now registers its own session, so what opened is reachable however the
fan-out ends.
`database_lines` reports through the connection the client already holds and
never calls `connect_lancedb`, so patching it detects nothing; `asked ==
[connection]` is what proves the reuse.
It was not merely dead. The patch was installed by name, and the next
`monkeypatch.setattr` triggered the first import of `haiku.rag.store.info`,
whose module body binds `connect_lancedb` — capturing the fake into a
namespace teardown does not restore, failing four `test_info` tests under
`-n0`.
Every load looked up the loading indicator, which only the first page has,
so pressing enter in the search box raised `NoMatches`. The indicator is a
child of the list `remove_children()` already clears.
A document's id and search text travel on a `DocumentCheckbox` instead of
being assigned onto a `Checkbox` behind type suppressions. The positional
widget ids are gone; nothing queried them.
Restructure the storage page into search and provenance, duplicate ids,
ranking, Python operations and CLI commands, and state each in reference
voice. `Several Databases` becomes `Multiple Databases`, with the anchor
carried through every referrer, and the instruction files follow the same
name. Example databases are `papers`, `wiki` and `notes`.
`AmbiguousCitationError` is raised for a cited chunk id held by more than one
selected database, not for any shared id.
`_rich_print_search_result` asked how many databases were configured, so
`--db-name alpha` labelled every line with the database the caller had just
named. Citations already ask the client what it covers, which is the same
question the scope answers.
`settings` printed each top-level block as one Python dict repr, so nesting
was invisible, long paths wrapped mid-token and `PosixPath(...)` leaked. It
renders as YAML now, which is what `haiku.rag.yaml` is written in.
`list` does not load content, which is where the docling blobs live, so the
`content:` header announced a field the command declined to fetch. A document
without a uri or metadata printed `uri: None` and `meta: {}`, where `title`
was already omitted when absent.
`--database` and `--db` read as one word abbreviated but take different
things, a configured name against a filesystem path, and they sit in
different positions: `haiku-rag --db /path info` fails with `No such option`.
The CLI already says "database" to the user everywhere it prints one, so the
name it selects by should say the same. Unreleased, so no deprecation.
Also: without a reranker, raise `search.limit` with the number of databases
searched, since each contributes its best matches to a list truncated back
to the limit.
`HaikuRAG.__init__` said an omitted `db_path` uses `storage.data_dir`, which
is the last of three; and that `sources` is ignored for a single `uri`, where
it raises, since only `lancedb.databases` names databases.
The name is not the only identity leaving the configuration: results,
citations, model input and errors opening a named database carry it, while
`info`, `init` and `tag` print the location. `sources=[]` returns no search
results, but `ask` and `analyze` still answer, without evidence.
Trim the comments that still narrated a failure or an alternative to the
invariant they were there for.
Two files of 1,405 and 814 lines become seven: scope resolution, lifecycle,
search, documents, expansion, citations and capabilities. `_config`, `_seed`
and the rest move to `helpers.py`, importable by the sandbox tests that share
them, and the package points VCR back at `tests/cassettes/multi_db/`.
`covers_several_databases` had one line of body and two call sites.
`_db_path_given` guarded a default path manufactured in `__init__` and
overwritten in `__aenter__`; `_requested_db_path` is what the caller asked
for, and the effective path falls out of the resolved scope.
One sentence for the contract, one or two more only where an invariant is not
obvious. The reasons that stay are about correctness and ownership: which
database a result belongs to, who closes what, why assembly order is the
tiebreak. The ones that go narrated how the code got here.
`covers_a_set` is true for a mapping of one, which is a configured database
like any other; `uses_configured_databases` says that. Its population guard
said "several" for the same reason. Document evaluating the configured set
with `--skip-db`, against population, which writes one database and needs a
path.
Three groups, not two: `search`, `ask`, `analyze` and `chat` cover the set,
`settings`, `init-config` and `download-models` open no database, and every
other command works on one — or on a configured set of one, which is
unambiguous and keeps its name. A database named in `lancedb.databases` keeps
that name whether or not it is the only one covered; only `lancedb.uri` places
one without naming it.
Document ids repeat between copies of a database, where the sandbox refuses a
duplicate but the chat filter's `id IN (...)` matches the document in every
copy. `build_document_id_filter` claimed ids never widen a selection.
Document the facade: `covers_multiple`, `source_names`, `source`,
`reader_for`, `clients_for`, the lifetime of a borrowed client, and
`sources=None` against `sources=[]`.
Drop the vision callout from the README, which the features list already
covers.
`clients_for` hands back a client over a database the covering one owns, so
`async with` on it opened a second session and assigned it, and teardown
declined to close what this client did not open. Entry returns the client as
it stands.
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.
0.78.0 released `api_key` and two authorization fixes out of the section
this branch was still adding to, so the automatic merge filed every
multi-database entry under it and dropped the `0.77.0` heading, which both
sides had de-duplicated. Everything from `0.78.0` down is main's record
verbatim; the multi-database entries stay under Unreleased.
`resolve_db_path` manufactured the default path whenever `lancedb.databases`
was empty, and `covers_several_databases` read coverage back out of the
configuration, so a capability built without a client opened
`storage.data_dir/haiku.rag.lancedb` instead of what `lancedb.uri` placed.
The entry point resolves a `DatabaseScope` instead: instructions ask it what
it covers and `_ensure_rag` opens it through `HaikuRAG._covering`, so
coverage is decided once rather than encoded in a path and re-derived.
`Sandbox._covering` takes the scope the capability already resolved, beside
the public constructor that takes a path. The factory signatures are
unchanged.
Closes#582. `lancedb.databases` entries already classify a location by
whether it carries a scheme; `lancedb.uri` was taken as a URI whatever it
said, so a local path was opened as object storage and a mistyped one
became a new empty database instead of failing. Both settings now place a
database the same way, and `--db PATH` overrides either.
`list_documents()` reached into the ownership map for a name the document
already carries. The map is still built, so a document id two databases
claim is still refused before anything mounts. A listing over one named
database now reports that name, as in-code `search()` already does.
`Store` already parses the settings blob on open, so keep it: the
inspector's info modal was opening the settings table, querying it and
parsing the JSON a second time, and `doctor` was asking
`SettingsRepository` for it on a store it already held. Creating a
database refreshes it, so a new one reports the version init wrote.
`gather_database_info` keeps its own parse: it goes around `Store` so a
pre-migration database still reports what it can.
A chunk id is unique within a database and says nothing across them, so a
database copied from another holds the same ids. `qualified_id` keys the
two in-memory identity sites on the database and the id together:
`merge_results` was dropping the second database's result when a query
repeated, and the arrival map that breaks fused score ties was ranking one
of the pair as the other.
Everything serialized records the id alone, so there ambiguity is refused
rather than qualified. `resolve_citations` raises `AmbiguousCitationError`
for a cited id held by two of the databases searched, where it used to
resolve to whichever result came last; `_register_citations` raises for one
already cited from another database in an earlier question. `_cite` turns
both into a `ModelRetry` asking for other evidence. The direct-id fallback
asks every database the question covers instead of taking the first that
answers, so an id no search returned is refused on the same terms.
`all_found` collects them and `first_found` reads its first, which document
reads keep doing on purpose.
Also drop a duplicated 0.77.0 heading from the changelog.
Expansion branched on whether the client covered a set, so the
single-database half reached for repositories through a facade that may
have none. `expand_sources` groups results by database and hands each
group the session that owns it; `expand_context` and `visualize_chunk`
take that session, so `visualize_chunk` stops narrowing to one database
and discarding the result.
Inline `_fetch`, a pass-through to the chunk repository.
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.
covers_multiple, source_names, source and reader_for replace the private
state seven modules were reading to work out how many databases they had.
The configured selection is kept intact, so entering a client twice derives
the same database rather than the last derivation.
Every implementation in documents.py and rebuild.py takes the session it
writes to, so a set cannot reach one: the facade narrows once and passes the
database on, rather than checking and carrying a union. Tests calling an
implementation directly go through `writing()`.
One session field, whichever kind it is, with the covered databases derived
from it rather than kept beside it. `_single_session` returns the database a
write works on in place of ten guards that only asserted one existed, and the
single-database operations move to the session that owns them.
FederatedSession opens the databases a query covers and owns their
teardown; the client keeps the wrappers it hands out. A wrapper releases
what it built and never closes the database it borrowed.
SingleDatabaseSession owns the store, the repositories and the vacuum
machinery, so nothing above has to ask whether it has a store. The client
keeps every name callers already use.
DatabaseScope.resolve reads configuration and at most one selector; a
DatabaseRef carries the configured name and a location already resolved to
a URI or a path, so a path a caller names is never reinterpreted. Nothing
consumes it yet.
An embedder is a function of configuration, not of a database, and the
databases in a selection share one, so a client covering a set builds it
on first use and closes it on teardown. Operations that need one database
say so instead of surfacing a missing store.
An image query has no text to match, so it is vector-only whatever the
caller asked for, and full-text search embeds nothing, so it needs no
agreement on embedders.
`first_found` replaces the client's private version and the capability's
sequential one. The info modal reports through the connection the client
already holds.
A title repeats within a corpus and across databases, so a substring
match on the displayed name widened the filter to documents the user did
not pick. The label names the database.
Each database owns an embedder, so embedding per database cost a round
trip each. One database still embeds inside the repository, which returns
early for a filter that matches nothing.
A blank name is falsy, so source routing reads it as absent, and a blank
location resolves to the working directory. `is_read_only` reports the
mode the client was opened with, which a client covering a set can answer
without a store.
Document.source names the configured database, as SearchResult and
Citation already do. A listing spanning databases is unreadable
without it, and `--database NAME list` could not name the one it
opened.
`get_document_by_id`, `get_document_by_uri` and `get_chunk_by_id` read
through repositories a client covering a set does not have, so a lookup by
identifier raised AttributeError and `resolve_document` with it. An
identifier says nothing about which database holds it, so every database is
asked at once and the first that has it, in configured order, answers.
On the evaluation side, `--db` overrides the configured set as the CLI
documents, and population refuses a set rather than ingesting into a
database the run would not read. A case filter matching nothing raises
instead of reporting 0.0000 as though it were a score.
Reciprocal rank fusion compares ranks, so every database contributes its
own best matches whether or not they answer the question, and results from
databases holding nothing relevant displace better ones. Measured on one
corpus split three ways over 3,045 queries: retrieval MAP 0.6044 without a
reranker against 0.9798 for the same corpus in a single database, and
0.9918 against 0.9914 with one.
