Companion frontend PR: #2282 (feat/sql-ui-workbench-upgrade-final), which consumes the error text and the refresh_schema tool and degrades honestly when this PR is not deployed.

(backend) — branch fix/db-node-execute-error-text → develop

Motivation

_executeRawQuery swallowed SQLAlchemyError and execute returned "SQL execution failed (check server logs for details)" — the driver's message never reached any caller. The node's schema cache (IGlobal.db_schema) is written once in beginGlobal, so DDL run through the node is invisible to get_schema and to the NL→SQL prompt until the task restarts.

What changed (review rounds)

Original PR: execute raises RuntimeError('SQL execution failed: <driver message>') on both paths; all driver-text paths route through one formatter (_format_db_error) that strips SQLAlchemy/psycopg2/ClickHouse noise but passes through the primary sentence; new additive refresh_schema tool re-reflects under a lock and republishes both schema caches; _insertData's lazy rebuild is race-safe; generated PKs read from reflected metadata per row; explicit null on a database-owned column means "no value"; all four DB node READMEs document the contract.

2026-09-18 round — 18 commits since e46e85a9, answering review 5208033720 (asclearuc) and review 5215826786 (dylan-savage):

  • b9a255c8d — merge develop 4d1ec4ed73 (automerge, no conflicts)
  • cd4992aaf/526f247da/830f762db — cut ClickHouse's three statement-echo shapes
  • 12c289b16 — anchor PG DETAIL/HINT markers to line start; keep psycopg2's message unstripped
  • ce2058618/a3b1a54e2 — guard refresh_schema reflection; failure leaves caches untouched, names dropped table
  • caf5bc6e4 — explicit null now "omitted" on any db-owned column, not just PKs
  • 67383577b/3f75acb6e — reflection lock per-IGlobal not process-wide; named error if beginGlobal skipped
  • 333a7ea50 — pin the post-refresh supplied-id flip (characterisation test)
  • fd5e29eb7/275244acc/f99db95c4 — document trigger-populated-PK limitation; correct/extend READMEs (superseded by 21d64aeb4)
  • 470b465b1/563041cd9/7c959655b — format _validateQuery error, regen README params, handle ODBC pairs
  • 6e9805b31 — stop rebuilding IGlobal.schema from reflected pairs; reword snapshot comment

Follow-up (2026-09-18, b6fd97c):

  • 739718941 — recovery policy in the execute tool description (item 2)
  • 21d64aeb4 — database refuses a PK the node cannot see (item 6, reverses the earlier round)
  • 1464b7646 — one _isDbFailure predicate, one except arm per site (nit 2)
  • a07f2c277 — rebuild the insert-lane column map from the refresh's walk (nit 4b)
  • b6fd97cb4 — prose: omit-not-bind rationale, MySQL strict-mode residual

Per-item status and open questions: review-round comment.

Verification

Local at b6fd97cb4 (ai/tests at a07f2c277; b6fd97cb4 is prose-only), SQLite only (no PostgreSQL/MySQL/ClickHouse/ODBC; item 6's refusal shown via SQLite NOT NULL, trigger can't run there): DB suites 272 passed (267 before); whole packages/ai/tests 3090 passed / 123 skipped; nodes/test DB suites 432 passed / 1 skipped over eight paths (four last round); ruff/readme x4/docs clean, merge-tree clean.

CI: green on b6fd97cb4 — run 35352520952, 17/21 checks passed, 4 skipped by policy, 0 failed (previous head 830f762d: run 35337255729).

Compatibility / interactions

Open for maintainers

The four items previously listed here landed on b6fd97cb4. Open:

  • SAWarning for an unbound PK stays on, not silenced.
  • Item 6 residuals: auto-created table is DDL, survives rollback; MySQL's refusal is strict-mode.
  • writeAnswers still only logs it (here or follow-up?).

Limitations

  • No PostgreSQL/MySQL/ClickHouse/ODBC locally — every dialect shape is constructed, not observed.
  • No-diag (pymysql) path: a message starting a line with HINT:/DETAIL: is still cut there; only psycopg2's diag path is immune.
  • ClickHouse split relies on an uppercase-keyword lookahead; "in scope WITH …" prose still truncates. A lambda-body scope is not cut.
  • get_data still catches only SQLAlchemyError; on ClickHouse it raises instead of {valid: false, error} (pre-existing; follow-up).
  • Auto-created table's curated map has no id until first refresh_schema (333a7ea50 pins this).
  • Non-strict MySQL sql_mode: an omitted CHAR PK stores '' and collides with the next such row.

…sh_schema tool

Two gaps in the shared database node base, both scoped to stay out of the
way of the pull requests already open against this file.

_executeRawQuery caught every SQLAlchemyError, logged it, and returned
None, so execute() answered with the same 'check server logs for details'
string whether the statement had a typo, named a missing table, or was
refused for permissions. Its except clause now raises with the driver's own
message through IGlobal._format_db_error. Only that clause changes:
execute()'s `if result is None` branch becomes unreachable but is left in
place, with a comment saying so, because an open PR is rewriting that
region. Session-bound execute already re-raised the real exception, so the
two paths finally agree, and the max_execute_rows rollback is untouched.

IGlobal.db_schema is assigned exactly once, in beginGlobal, so get_schema
serves a task-start snapshot for the life of the task and a table created
through execute stays invisible until the pipeline restarts. The new
refresh_schema tool re-reflects and replaces it, returning the get_schema
shape plus a refreshed_at UTC timestamp so a caller can show how current
the schema it holds is. Reflection and publication run under a module-level
lock: concurrent callers would otherwise repeat the same full table walk
and race to publish the result. The tool is additive and lives entirely in
db_instance_base.py, since another open PR is adding to db_global_base.py.
It also fixes the natural-language path, which describes that same dict to
the LLM. get_schema's nested table formatter is lifted to a shared private
method so both tools render one shape.

Tests are a new module rather than an addition to test_db_base.py, which
two open PRs are both appending to. Eleven cases over an in-memory SQLite
engine cover the driver text reaching the caller, the gate still refusing
first, re-reflection seeing created and dropped tables, the timestamp
format, and four concurrent refreshes all returning.

Tool tables in the four node READMEs that inherit this surface list
refresh_schema and say in one sentence what get_schema's snapshot does not
show. services.json declares no tool list, so nothing to mirror there.

execute()'s stateless failure path now formats the driver error through
IGlobal, but this module builds IGlobal as a SimpleNamespace carrying only
the four fields the transaction tests needed. Nothing failed, because no
test here drove a bad statement through that path — the next one to try
would have died with AttributeError instead of the RuntimeError it was
asserting.

The stub borrows the real DatabaseGlobalBase implementation rather than a
lambda, so the message a test sees is the message a caller gets. A test for
the stateless failure path comes with it, so the fixture stays honest:
removing the one line makes it fail with AttributeError.

No behaviour change; this only narrows what the previous commit touched in
a file three open pull requests are editing.

get_schema's body is back to exactly what develop has, docstring aside: the
nested _format_table closure returns, and the _format_table static method
and _schemaPayload helper it had been lifted into are gone. Sharing them
was tidier, but it rewrote a method none of the open PRs needs to change,
and a few duplicated formatting lines cost less than that. That hunk is now
five added docstring lines instead of a 31-line rewrite.

refresh_schema moves to the end of the tool section, below dialect, so the
whole tool arrives as one appended block past the execute body PR rocketride-org#1908
rewrites rather than as an insertion ahead of it. It formats its own tables
inline, and the lock is now _REFLECT_LOCK.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The database tools now support locked schema refreshes, sanitized SQL errors, generated-key inserts, and consistent execution results. Node documentation and service descriptions reflect the updated tool contracts. Tests cover refresh, concurrency, error handling, and insert behavior.

Changes

Database tool behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Schema refresh and insert synchronization
packages/ai/src/ai/common/database/db_instance_base.py, packages/ai/src/ai/common/database/db_global_base.py, packages/ai/tests/ai/common/database/test_db_execute_errors.py
Adds locked refresh_schema, atomic schema publication, cache invalidation, generated-key handling, default-value inserts, and contiguous row grouping.
SQL error formatting and session cleanup
packages/ai/src/ai/common/database/db_global_base.py, packages/ai/src/ai/common/database/db_instance_base.py, packages/ai/tests/ai/common/database/test_db_base.py, packages/ai/tests/database/test_execute_session.py, packages/ai/tests/ai/common/database/test_db_execute_errors.py
Driver messages are preserved while SQL, parameters, stack traces, and other echoed details are removed. Failed sessions roll back, cleanup failures do not mask the original error, and execution returns a result or raises.
Tool and configuration contract updates
nodes/src/nodes/db_clickhouse/*, nodes/src/nodes/db_mysql/*, nodes/src/nodes/db_postgres/*, nodes/src/nodes/rocketride_sql/*
Documentation and service descriptions identify schema snapshots, refresh_schema, dialect, and the four raw-SQL tools. They document the updated questions-lane and disabled-call behavior.

Comment thread nodes/src/nodes/db_postgres/README.md Outdated
Comment thread nodes/src/nodes/rocketride_sql/README.md
Two review findings on the READMEs this PR touched, both in the section
the node README schema calls the agent-facing contract and holds to the
highest accuracy bar.

db_postgres listed four tool functions in the summary and in "As a tool",
then a separate table of three transaction tools — seven of the nine
@tool_function methods an agent actually sees on DatabaseInstanceBase.
`execute` appeared only as prose inside the transaction paragraph and
`dialect` only as the QuestionType.DIALECT lane behaviour, so an agent
author reading the inventory would not know either exists as a tool. The
count is now nine in both places, `dialect` joins the open table, and
`execute` joins what was the Transactions table, renamed "Raw SQL and
transactions" because a statement without a session_id is neither. That
table's gate sentence also said requests are "silently dropped" when
allow_execute is off; the four tools raise (db_instance_base.py:301,
339, 371), and it is the questions lane that logs and drops — the two
behaviours are now stated apart. The `execute` row records the driver
message and the rollback-on-overflow that this PR's own change produced,
rather than implying a truncated result set.

rocketride_sql named refresh_schema in its tool table but left its
contract out of the prose beneath, where that README already documents
every other non-obvious argument and return shape. It takes no arguments
(input_schema declares no properties) and returns {database, tables}
exactly as get_schema does, plus a refreshed_at UTC ISO-8601 timestamp
from datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat().

Docs only; no behaviour change. Both nodes still pass
scripts/validate-node-readme.py, and so does the whole corpus under
./builder docs:validate.

refresh_schema replaces only IGlobal.db_schema, but _insertData continues using the startup IGlobal.schema cache for the configured target table. After a target-table DDL change and refresh, writes can omit newly added columns or still reference removed ones. Refresh the target-table schema cache together with db_schema so subsequent writes use the reflected schema.

The new formatted SQL-error behavior is applied only when execute has no session_id; stateful calls still re-raise the raw SQLAlchemy exception after rollback. Apply the same formatted RuntimeError contract in the transaction-registry path, or clearly preserve/document a distinct stateful contract if that difference is intentional.

… text

`_format_db_error` only produced a clean `Error <code>: <msg>` when the
driver put an integer first in `orig.args` — the pymysql and
clickhouse-driver shape. psycopg2 and sqlite3 put a string there, so both
fell through to `str(exc)`, which for a SQLAlchemy StatementError is the
full repr: the executed statement in `[SQL: ...]` and the values bound
into it in `[parameters: ...]`.

That string is no longer log-only. `_executeRawQuery` re-raises it as a
RuntimeError that the `execute` tool returns to its caller, and rocketride-org#2282
wires a user-facing Refresh/Run UI onto exactly that path, so a failed
INSERT would hand the caller back the row it tried to write.

Unwrap each driver shape explicitly and keep only the primary message:
the numeric-code branch as before; psycopg2's `diag.message_primary`
(its `str()` also carries a `LINE n:` echo of the statement, which
psycopg2 has already interpolated the bind values into); and `args[0]`
for sqlite3 and the generic DBAPI shape. Every branch then runs through
`_strip_statement_detail`, which truncates at the first `[SQL:`,
`[parameters:`, `LINE n:`, `DETAIL:`/`HINT:`/`CONTEXT:` or sqlalche.me
marker, so a driver shape not enumerated here still cannot leak the
tail. DETAIL is dropped along with the rest because PostgreSQL uses it
to restate the offending key values.

The helper is module-level rather than a method so `_format_db_error`
keeps working when tests bind it onto a stub IGlobal.

Tests cover the real sqlite3 driver end-to-end through `execute`, plus
the psycopg2 (with and without `diag`), sqlite3 and pymysql shapes and a
bare StatementError repr.
`test_format_db_error_falls_back_to_str_when_args_not_int_first` pinned
the old leaking fallback, so it is replaced by an assertion that the
driver message — not `str(exc)` — is what comes back.

`_strip_statement_detail`'s degenerate case gets the same treatment. A
message that is nothing but detail markers left no primary sentence, and
the old fallback returned the first line — which on that input is the
`[SQL: ...]` echo the function exists to remove. It now returns a
neutral constant, so there is no input on which the helper hands back the
statement.

`refresh_schema` replaced `IGlobal.db_schema`, the database-wide
reflection the natural-language path describes to the LLM, and stopped
there. `IGlobal.schema` — the configured table's column map that
`_insertData` iterates to build every answers-lane INSERT — is a second
start-up snapshot, and it was left untouched, rebuilt only lazily when
falsy.

So the node was current on one path and stale on the other: after
running `ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN` and calling the refresh tool, the
LLM path saw the new column while the insert lane kept writing the
start-up column set and silently dropped it. The four db node READMEs
document both the insert lane and "re-reads the schema from the
database", so the documented contract overstated the code.

Invalidate the map inside the same reflection lock. Emptying it re-arms
the lazy rebuild already at the top of `_insertData`, which reflects
through the same `_getTableSchema` call `beginGlobal` uses, so the next
insert sees what a freshly started node would. Emptying rather than
re-reflecting here keeps the call cheap for a node with no answers lane
wired, and makes the write a single atomic rebind: a concurrent
`_insertData` either reads the old map or finds it falsy and rebuilds,
never a half-built dict.

Invalidating the map is only safe once `_insertData` stops binding a
generated primary key, so that is fixed in the same commit.
`_createTableFromData` curates `IGlobal.schema` down to the data columns
for an auto-created table, because the `id` it prepends is generated by
the database; a map built by reflection carries `id` instead. Since
`_insertData` binds NULL for any schema column the rows do not supply,
swapping the curated map for a reflected one would have started binding
`id=None` on every later insert — tolerated by SQLite's rowid alias, a
not-null violation against the `id SERIAL NOT NULL` Postgres renders for
the same column. `_insertData` now drops primary-key columns that no row
in the batch supplies, decided once per batch so every mapping handed to
executemany keeps an identical key set. The two maps therefore produce
the same INSERT and refreshing cannot change answers-lane behaviour
mid-task. It also fixes the same NULL bind on the path that always
reflected: a table that already existed when `beginGlobal` ran.

Tests cover the refreshed insert picking up a new column, the
pre-existing stale behaviour it fixes, a dropped configured table leaving
a falsy map, and — by asserting on the compiled INSERT rather than on
what SQLite tolerates — that an auto-created table's insert still carries
the data columns only after a refresh, that a reflected primary key the
rows do not supply is omitted, that one they do supply is still bound,
and that a primary-key-only table falls back to binding it.

The `Raw SQL and transactions` section said `allow_execute` is "the same
gate as `QuestionType.EXECUTE`" and contrasted the tools with "the
`questions` lane, which logs and drops the request". No SQL database
node implements that branch: `DatabaseInstanceBase.writeQuestions` does
not look at `question.type` at all, and `QuestionType` appears in
db_instance_base.py only at the import and in one unrelated
`Question(type=QuestionType.QUESTION, ...)` construction. The
dispatch-on-type behaviour belongs to the graph node
(`graph_instance_base.py` handles `DIALECT` and `EXECUTE`), and the
wording was carried across without being checked against this file.

Correct it wherever it appears in prose:

- db_postgres: the "Two special question types are handled on the
  questions lane" bullets are removed — the lane has one behaviour,
  translate-then-execute, and `dialect` / `execute` are the tool
  functions that reach those behaviours. The gate sentence now says
  what `allow_execute` gates (the four raw-SQL tools) and that it does
  not change the questions lane, which never runs raw SQL.
- rocketride_sql: same two claims, in the config and Notes sections.

Also make the refresh_schema wording match the code now that the tool
invalidates the answers-lane column map as well as the database-wide
schema, so "re-reads the schema from the database" is true end to end
rather than only for the LLM path.

The same claim lived in the generated config tables, whose source of
truth is the `allow_execute` field description in each node's
services*.json. Those five descriptions now name the four tool functions
the flag actually gates, and the generated regions are regenerated from
them, so db_postgres/README.md no longer contradicts itself between its
prose and its parameter table. Only the SQL nodes are touched: the graph
nodes do dispatch on `QuestionType.EXECUTE`, so their copy is correct as
it stands.

Two smaller instances of the same transposition: the new db_postgres
sentence named `db_neo4j`, a retired path that redirects to
`graph_neo4j`, and db_clickhouse/IInstance.py said its dialect string is
"surfaced via QuestionType.DIALECT" when only the `dialect` tool reaches
it.

Three fixes on top of the review round, head 28c461e3.

Execution errors no longer leak SQL or bind parameters. _format_db_error only produced a clean Error <code>: <msg> when orig.args[0] was an int — the pymysql/clickhouse shape. psycopg2 and sqlite3 put the message string there, so it fell through to str(exc): the full SQLAlchemy StatementError repr, including the executed statement and its bind parameters, which db_instance_base.py then raised to the caller. Detail that belonged in server logs was reaching whoever called the tool. Now stripped for those drivers too, with per-driver tests.

refresh_schema is honest end-to-end. It refreshed only IGlobal.db_schema; IGlobal.schema — the column map the answers/insert lane iterates — was untouched and only lazily rebuilt when falsy, so the node was not actually current after a refresh. The first attempt at this regressed auto-created answers tables, where _createTableFromData deliberately builds a data-columns-only map; that curated map is now preserved.

The READMEs describe the gate that exists. They asserted allow_execute was "the same gate as QuestionType.EXECUTE", but no SQL node implements a QuestionType.EXECUTE branch — writeQuestions has no question.type dispatch. Fixed at the generator's source (services.json) and regenerated, so the GENERATED:PARAMS tables agree.

A correction I owe @coderabbitai: my earlier reply on the questions-lane distinction endorsed the same wrong premise. The code, not that reply, is the reference.

Inline comments:
In `@nodes/src/nodes/db_clickhouse/README.md`:
- Around line 60-62: Update the README text describing cached column-map refresh
to remove the nonexistent “answers” insert lane reference, while preserving the
accurate description of schema refresh behavior and ensuring lane and connection
descriptions match the node’s declared inputs.

In `@nodes/src/nodes/db_postgres/README.md`:
- Line 80: Update the README description of get_schema and refresh_schema to
accurately state that get_schema serves the current cached IGlobal.db_schema
snapshot, while refresh_schema replaces that database-wide cache and invalidates
IGlobal.schema for lazy reconstruction on the next insert. Keep the description
aligned with the node implementation and configured service behavior.
- Line 64: Update the README description of the questions lane to state that
every question uses the natural-language processing path, but only valid
generated SQL is executed; when writeQuestions receives isValid: false, it
returns the prose answer without calling _executeSQLQuery. Remove the claim that
every question is executed while preserving the distinction from dialect and
raw-SQL tool functions.

In `@packages/ai/src/ai/common/database/db_global_base.py`:
- Around line 120-123: The raw execute error handling around _DB_ERROR_DETAIL
currently exposes driver-specific messages and submitted literals to callers.
Update _executeRawQuery to format failures with a generic safe fallback or
stable category, while retaining the complete exception details in server-side
logs; add regression coverage for PostgreSQL and MySQL errors containing
literals.

In `@packages/ai/src/ai/common/database/db_instance_base.py`:
- Line 457: Update _insertData to hold _REFLECT_LOCK across the falsy-schema
check, _getTableSchema rebuild, and schema snapshot copy, then use that copied
snapshot for all insert operations so concurrent inserts cannot observe a
partially rebuilt or mutating IGlobal.schema.
- Around line 897-901: Update the batch mapping logic around supplied_keys and
omit_columns to partition rows by whether generated primary-key columns are
present, then execute each homogeneous group with its consistent column set.
Ensure rows omitting generated keys exclude those columns so database defaults
apply, while rows supplying them retain the columns and values.
- Around line 902-905: Update the insert logic around the omit_columns fallback
so a table containing only a database-generated primary key uses a DEFAULT
VALUES insert instead of binding NULL. If that sole key is not generated, reject
the missing required value, and update
test_insert_binds_the_primary_key_when_it_is_the_only_column to cover the
revised behavior.

@nihalnihalani Thanks for the correction. I verified head 28c461e3.

_format_db_error now extracts driver messages and removes SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, and parameter detail before _executeRawQuery raises SQL execution failed: ....

refresh_schema now replaces IGlobal.db_schema and invalidates IGlobal.schema. The next insert rebuilds the column map. _createTableFromData still creates its data-columns-only map. The primary-key omission logic handles reflected maps.

You are also correct about the questions lane. DatabaseInstanceBase.writeQuestions does not inspect Question.type. The SQL nodes use the normal translate-and-execute path for every question. allow_execute gates the raw-SQL tool functions only. The updated services.json files and generated READMEs match this behavior.

I withdraw the earlier questions-lane concern.

Learning: In `packages/ai/src/ai/common/database/db_instance_base.py`, `DatabaseInstanceBase.writeQuestions` does not dispatch on `Question.type`. SQL database nodes process all questions through the natural-language SQL translation path. Raw SQL is available only through the `execute`, `begin`, `commit`, and `rollback` tool functions, which `allow_execute` gates.

Learning: In `packages/ai/src/ai/common/database/db_instance_base.py`, `DatabaseInstanceBase.refresh_schema` must update the database-wide `IGlobal.db_schema` cache and invalidate the answers-lane `IGlobal.schema` column map. `DatabaseGlobalBase._createTableFromData` intentionally keeps a data-columns-only schema map for auto-created tables, while reflected primary-key columns must be omitted from inserts when callers do not supply them.

Thanks @nihalnihalani — getting the database's own message to the execute caller is a real improvement, and _strip_statement_detail is the right shape for it: the caller learns "no such column: foo" while [SQL: ...] and [parameters: ...] stay in the server log. The refresh_schema tool is a sensible companion, and invalidating IGlobal.schema alongside db_schema shows you followed the second cache path rather than stopping at the one the tool returns.

Request changes

Three inline comments below. The blocking one: the new formatting covers only the sessionless half of execute. A statement run with a session_id still raises the raw SQLAlchemy exception, so the [SQL: ...] / [parameters: ...] tail reaches the caller through the same tool, behind the same allow_execute gate — and the one new test on that path covers only the half that was fixed.

CodeRabbit has three open Major findings on this diff that I checked against the code and agree with. Please address them too: the lazy schema rebuild race, mixed primary-key presence within one batch, and the generated-only table insert. The first one matters most: refresh_schema is what makes it reachable at runtime, and the code comment above self.IGlobal.schema = {} currently argues the opposite.

A raw statement run with a session_id went through
TransactionRegistry.execute, which has no try/except, and the existing
`except Exception` arm in execute() re-raised the SQLAlchemy exception
unchanged. str() of that exception ends in `[SQL: ...]` and
`[parameters: ...]`, so the same tool behind the same allow_execute gate
returned the statement and its bound values to the caller purely because
a session id was passed, while the sessionless half stripped them.

Add a `SQLAlchemyError` arm above the existing `except Exception` (the
max-rows RuntimeError is not a SQLAlchemyError, so its wording and its
rollback are untouched): log the full exception, release the session, and
raise `RuntimeError('SQL execution failed: ' + _format_db_error(e))`.
The fix lives in execute() rather than tx_registry because the registry
has no IGlobal and is shared with other callers.

Session release moves into _releaseFailedSession, shared by both arms.
A rollback that itself fails is logged and swallowed: previously an
exception raised inside the cleanup replaced the error the caller was
being told about (a monkeypatched rollback surfaced as 'boom').

Also drop the dead `result is None` branch in execute() and correct
_executeRawQuery's annotation to `-> dict`: the method has returned the
shaped dict or raised since it started carrying the driver's message, so
the branch could only ever have produced the opaque 'check server logs
for details' string this work exists to replace, and the annotation
contradicted the comment above the branch. execute() is its only caller.

…h_schema

refresh_schema rebuilt get_schema's nested _format_table line for line,
with `result` renamed to `entry`. Both tools promise callers the same
per-table shape -- their tool descriptions say so, and an LLM picks
between them on that sentence -- but the equality test compared the two
copies to each other, so it would have stayed green while a later change
added a key (an index list, a column comment, a nullable flag) to one
copy only.

Lift the formatter to a module-level _format_table and call it from
both; get_schema's body loses the nested definition, refresh_schema
loses the loop. The wire format is byte-identical, so the existing shape
tests pass untouched. The docstring paragraph calling the duplication
deliberate goes with it.

test_refresh_schema_matches_get_schema_shape now reflects a table with
both a primary key and a foreign key, so the two optional entries are
actually exercised on both sides, and _format_table gains a direct unit
test for the optional-key rules an equality check cannot see.

refresh_schema empties IGlobal.schema to re-arm the rebuild at the top of
_insertData, which is what makes this reachable at runtime: a second
insert can now arrive while the first is reflecting.

_getTableSchema published `self.schema = {}` and then grew it column by
column, and _insertData checked, rebuilt and then took a reference to
that same dict without a lock. A concurrent insert could therefore see
the empty map (falling into the "no schema cached" branch, which binds
the item's raw keys and skips the generated-key handling), or a truthy
but half-built one (silently dropping columns the caller had supplied),
or a dict changing size while the per-row loop iterated it. A reflection
that failed midway left the half-built map published for the next insert
to believe.

_getTableSchema now builds into a local dict and publishes it with one
assignment, so a failure leaves the previous map untouched. _insertData
holds _REFLECT_LOCK across the falsy check, the rebuild and a snapshot
copy, and builds the batch from the snapshot; the lock is released before
the Table reflection and before the INSERT, neither of which reads the
map. The comment above refresh_schema's invalidation no longer claims
the single rebind makes the rebuild atomic.

Tests hold a rebuild open inside the real column walk rather than
simulating the window: without the lock the second insert stored NULL in
a column it had supplied, an overlapping refresh left a one-column map,
and a failed reflection published a partial one.

The answers lane worked out which primary-key columns to leave unbound
once per batch, from the union of every row's keys. One row carrying
`id` therefore put `id` into every mapping, and the rows that omitted it
bound NULL into a key the database was supposed to generate. SQLite
tolerates that for a rowid alias; Postgres rejects the whole batch for an
`id SERIAL NOT NULL` column. The sole-primary-key table had the same
problem by construction: the `omit_columns = set()` fallback bound NULL
because omitting everything would have left an empty mapping.

Which primary keys the database generates is now read from the reflected
Table -- `autoincrement_column` (SQLAlchemy's own resolution, covering a
reflected `autoincrement=True` and the `'auto'` rule that recognises
SQLite's rowid alias), plus any primary-key column with a server_default,
an Identity, or an explicit autoincrement -- rather than assumed of every
primary key. Per row: a generated key the row omits is left out of that
row's mapping, a supplied value is bound, and an explicitly supplied None
is bound as NULL, so the three cases stay distinguishable. A primary key
the database does NOT generate and the row does not carry is a ValueError
naming the table, the columns and the row position, raised before the
transaction opens.

Rows are then executed as contiguous runs sharing a key set, all inside
one engine.begin(): contiguous rather than gathered, because generated
ids follow insertion order and regrouping would hand back ids in an order
the caller's rows never had, and one transaction because a batch must
stay all-or-nothing as a single executemany was. A run whose mapping is
empty gets a values-less `insert(table)` per row, which SQLAlchemy
renders as `DEFAULT VALUES` on PostgreSQL and SQLite and `() VALUES ()`
on MySQL.

test_insert_binds_the_primary_key_when_it_is_the_only_column pinned the
old fallback and is replaced by the default-values test, plus a
compile-only check of all three dialect renderings (no live PostgreSQL or
MySQL in this suite).

dylan-savage (review 5215826786, nit 5) flagged that the
ROCKETRIDE:GENERATED:PARAMS regions of the four DB node READMEs had been
hand-edited, which AGENTS.md:87-88 forbids, and that
rocketride_sql/README.md carried an EMPTY region even though this PR
changed its services.json.

Develop has since filled that region: e035c26 (rocketride-org#2285) regenerated it
from the pre-PR wording, so merging develop reinstated
"Permit QuestionType.EXECUTE callers to run raw SQL..." — the exact claim
this PR corrected at the source (services.json:125 now says "Permit the
execute, begin, commit, and rollback tool functions...").

Regenerated with the repo generator rather than by hand: a scratch
`git archive HEAD | tar -x` copy with a fresh `git init` (so the
branch-name gate at nodes/scripts/gen-node-tables.mjs:211 passes and the
source links resolve to the upstream fallbacks
rocketride-org/rocketride-server @ develop, not this fork's origin), then
`node nodes/scripts/gen-node-tables.mjs db_mysql db_postgres
db_clickhouse rocketride_sql`. Only rocketride_sql/README.md changed;
the generator reproduced the other three regions byte-for-byte, which
also settles dylan's hand-edit concern for them — they already match
generator output.

Verified: python3 scripts/validate-node-readme.py PASS on all four nodes.

…message_primary

dylan-savage (review 5215826786, item 4) showed that _DB_ERROR_DETAIL
matched DETAIL:/HINT:/CONTEXT:/QUERY:/STATEMENT: as bare substrings with
.search(), so the stripper truncated messages that merely contain one of
those words, and that every branch — psycopg2's already-clean
diag.message_primary included — ran through it. All three of his shapes
reproduced on the PR head:

  RAISE EXCEPTION 'Order rejected. HINT: contact billing'
      -> 'Order rejected.'
  pymysql (1644, 'Invalid QUERY: missing tenant filter')
      -> 'Error 1644: Invalid'
  a message whose first token is 'HINT:'
      -> 'Database error'

The five PostgreSQL blocks are separate LINES of the server message, so
they are now matched only after a newline (\n[ \t]*), while the tails a
library appends — [SQL:, [parameters:, [cached since, [generated in,
(Background on this error, LINE n:, Stack trace:, failed at position —
stay unanchored, because those genuinely appear mid-string and anchoring
them would reopen the leak this PR exists to close.

The anchor is \n rather than (?m)^ on purpose: ^ also matches at position
0, which is what turned a message beginning with 'HINT:' into
all-detail and degraded it to the fallback constant.

_format_db_error now returns diag.message_primary without the stripper.
psycopg2 splits DETAIL/HINT/CONTEXT/QUERY/STATEMENT and the LINE n: echo
onto their own diag fields, so that string carries no tail to cut and a
marker firing in it could only be truncating the application's own
wording.

Tests (tests/ai/common/database/test_db_base.py): the three shapes above
plus a message whose inline HINT: is followed by a real DETAIL: line
(only the line goes), and test_format_db_error_still_cuts_a_real_postgres_detail_block,
which pins that the anchoring does not let a genuine DETAIL block
through on the no-diag path. Against the pre-fix code the four new
assertions failed: "4 failed, 1 passed, 65 deselected in 0.52s".

No live PostgreSQL or MySQL is available here, so each case is a
constructed exception shape reproducing what the driver hands SQLAlchemy;
every new test's docstring says so.

Verified: 243 passed (tests/database + tests/ai/common/database), ruff
check + format clean.

dylan-savage (review 5215826786, item 3) pointed out that _DB_ERROR_DETAIL
knew only ClickHouse's `Stack trace:` and `failed at position` tails, and
that ClickHouse does not always append its statement echo — code 47
(UNKNOWN_IDENTIFIER) splices the whole query into the MIDDLE of the
sentence. Reproduced on the PR head by running the module's own regex:

  Code: 47. DB::Exception: Missing columns: 'secret' while processing
  query: 'SELECT secret FROM users WHERE token = ''hunter2''', required
  columns: 'secret'. Stack trace:…

was cut only at `Stack trace:`, so the statement — with the bound value
already inlined — reached the caller. The analyzer's `in scope <sql>`
form leaked the same way.

Three markers added: `while processing query:`, `, required columns:`,
and `in scope `. The first two are distinctive enough as bare
substrings; `in scope ` carries a lookahead for an uppercase statement
keyword, because ClickHouse formats the echoed query back out of its AST
(so the phrase is always followed by SELECT/INSERT/… there) while in
prose — "not in scope for this trigger" — it is not. That is the same
lesson as the DETAIL/HINT anchoring in the previous commit: a marker that
can fire inside an application's own sentence will.

This dialect is the one where the echo genuinely carries user data:
clickhouse-driver sends no server-side parameters by default, so it
interpolates binds client-side and the repeated statement contains the
caller's literal rather than a placeholder. The docstring is reconciled
accordingly — its opening line no longer claims "never the statement or
its parameters" flatly but points at the REMOVED / PASSED THROUGH
section, the ClickHouse bullet now names the two in-message echoes and
the client-side interpolation, and the "every branch runs through the
stripper" sentence now excepts the diag.message_primary branch the
previous commit took off it.

Tests (tests/ai/common/database/test_db_base.py): the code-47 shape on
both connectors — clickhouse_driver.dbapi's OperationalError(
ServerException) and clickhouse-sqlalchemy's DatabaseException, which is
what the db_clickhouse node's `clickhouse+native://` URL actually raises
— plus a lone `, required columns:` tail and a guard that prose
containing "in scope" is not truncated. Against the pre-fix code:
"3 failed, 1 passed, 70 deselected in 0.57s" (the fourth is a guard and
passed before too).

No live ClickHouse server is available here and neither clickhouse-driver
nor clickhouse-sqlalchemy is installed, so both connector shapes are

dylan-savage (review 5215826786, nit 1) noted that _validateQuery's
`except Exception as e: return False, str(e)` made the PR description's
security claim false. The EXPLAIN failure does not stop at the retry
loop: _buildSQLQuery carries it into `result['error']`, get_sql returns
that as its `error` field, and get_data returns get_sql's dict
unchanged. Neither tool consults IGlobal.allow_execute — the gate exists
only in execute() — so `str()` of a SQLAlchemy StatementError, tail and
all, reached callers who were never granted raw SQL. On the pre-fix code
the string was:

  (sqlite3.OperationalError) no such table: no_such_table
  [SQL: EXPLAIN SELECT secret FROM no_such_table WHERE token = 'hunter2']
  (Background on this error at: https://sqlalche.me/e/20/e3q8)

Now `self._format_db_error(e)`, the same formatter execute() uses, and
the full exception is logged with warning() first so the statement stays
in the server log where the retry loop's own log line used to keep it.

Tests (tests/ai/common/database/test_db_execute_errors.py): the helper
directly, then both ungated lanes — get_sql and get_data with
allow_execute switched OFF and a stubbed _buildSQLQueryOnce that keeps
proposing a query against a missing table — asserting the driver's
sentence survives while '[SQL:', '[parameters:' and the bound literal do
not. Plus the success half, `(True, '')`, which is unchanged. Against
the pre-fix code: "3 failed, 1 passed, 40 deselected in 0.55s".

dylan-savage (review 5215826786, item 7) pointed out the asymmetry the
previous round left behind: the OMITTED branch skips a generated key AND
anything carrying a server default or identity, while the EXPLICIT-null
branch only skipped generated keys. So `{'created_at': None}` against
`created_at timestamptz NOT NULL DEFAULT now()` fell through to
`prepare_value(None)` and bound NULL. Reproduced on SQLite, which raises
the same class of error:

  sqlite3.IntegrityError: NOT NULL constraint failed: notes.created_at
  [SQL: INSERT INTO notes (label, created_at) VALUES (?, ?)]
  [parameters: ('a', None)]

and on the answers lane writeAnswers only logs, so the batch vanished
with one line — the exact failure mode the generated-key rule was added
to prevent.

The condition now reads `lowered in generated_pk_columns or lowered in
generated_defaults`, i.e. the same column set as the omitted branch.
Splitting the rule by nullability or by key-ness would make one emitted
row land differently depending on a column attribute its sender — an LLM
node or a JSON mapper that emits every schema key — cannot see.

The three insert-lane README paragraphs said "a null on any other column
is inserted as NULL as given"; they now say a null on any column the
database fills in counts as not carried, and a null on a column with
nothing behind it is inserted as given. Hand-written prose only; the
GENERATED:PARAMS regions are untouched (validate-node-readme passes on
all four DB nodes).

This is a behaviour change for a pipeline that deliberately writes NULL
into a column that happens to carry a DEFAULT — it now gets the default
instead. The `execute` tool is a different contract and is unaffected.

Tests (tests/ai/common/database/test_db_execute_errors.py): the NOT NULL
DEFAULT case dylan named, the nullable-default case, a column with
nothing behind it still binding NULL, and one showing the run-splitting
this collapses — a batch alternating an explicit null and an omission is
now a single executemany instead of one run per row. The narrow-rule pin
test_insert_still_binds_an_explicit_null_on_a_non_key_column is removed:
it asserted the behaviour this item reverses, and the two new cases cover
both halves of what replaced it. Against the pre-fix code:
"3 failed, 3 passed, 42 deselected in 0.78s".

Verified: 254 passed (tests/database + tests/ai/common/database), ruff

…ilure

dylan-savage (review 5215826786, item 5) pointed out that
`self.IGlobal.db_schema = self.IGlobal._getDatabaseSchema()` ran
unguarded inside the locked block. _getDatabaseSchema has no per-table
try/except — one `inspector.get_columns(table)` the database refuses (a
revoked grant, a lock timeout, a table dropped mid-walk) propagates out
of the whole walk — so refresh_schema was the one tool in this file
whose failure still reached the caller as the SQLAlchemy repr, tail
included, and this tool has no allow_execute gate in front of it.

The reflection now runs in a try/except: the full exception goes to the
log with error(), and the caller gets
`RuntimeError('Schema refresh failed: ' + _format_db_error(e))` with
`from None`, matching execute()'s shape.

Publication is all-or-nothing, and the docstring now says so and why.
The result is assigned only after the walk returns, so a failure leaves
db_schema AND IGlobal.schema exactly as they were — the node keeps
serving the schema it has instead of publishing a half-walked database,
and IGlobal.schema is not emptied, which would otherwise re-arm the
insert lane's lazy rebuild against a database that just refused to be
reflected. Skipping the offending table and continuing (what
_getTableSchema does for a single table) is rejected explicitly: the LLM
path cannot tell a table that vanished from one that could not be read,
and would write queries as if it were gone.

Tests (tests/ai/common/database/test_db_execute_errors.py): a patched
inspector whose get_columns raises a wrapped driver error for one table
— injected, since no PostgreSQL is available here to revoke a grant on,
and injected after get_table_names so the walk fails part-way as a real
one would. Three cases: the message carries the driver's sentence and
neither '[SQL:' nor the reflection statement; both caches are byte-equal
to their pre-refresh values and a table created in between does not
appear; and _REFLECT_LOCK — process-wide, so a leak would wedge every
node in the engine — is free afterwards and the next refresh succeeds.
Against the pre-fix code: "3 failed, 1 passed, 46 deselected in 0.65s".

… the code

dylan-savage (review 5215826786, nit 6) noticed that the generic
`args[0]` branch returns the SQLSTATE alone for a driver that reports
`('42S02', 'Base table or view not found')` — pyodbc and the other
ODBC-backed drivers put a five-character SQLSTATE where pymysql puts an
integer errno, so the integer branch misses them and the caller gets the
half of the pair they cannot act on. The str(exc) fallback test this PR
removed used to cover the shape incidentally.

A branch before the generic one formats it as `Error <sqlstate>:
<message>`, matched strictly against `\A[0-9A-Z]{5}\Z` and requiring a
non-empty string second entry, so a driver that merely happens to put
two strings in `args` keeps the old behaviour. The result still runs
through the stripper.

dylan notes correctly that no node in this repo uses such a driver today
(there is no pyodbc dialect under nodes/src/nodes), so this is hardening
for a shape we do not ship rather than a live bug; the docstring bullet
says as much.

Tests (tests/ai/common/database/test_db_base.py): the pair formatted, the
stripper still cutting a STATEMENT block inside it, a two-string `args`
that is not a SQLSTATE left alone, and the single-argument sqlite3 shape
unchanged. Constructed shapes — no ODBC driver is installed here. Against
the pre-fix code: "2 failed, 2 passed, 74 deselected in 0.46s" (the two
guard cases passed before, which is the point of them).

dylan-savage (review 5215826786, item 8): `_REFLECT_LOCK` was module-level
and held across `refresh_schema`'s full-database inspector walk, which runs
on an engine with no statement timeout. `_insertData` took the same lock
unconditionally on every batch, just to evaluate `if not IGlobal.schema`. So
one node refreshing a wide database stalled the answers lane of every other
DB node in the same engine process -- cross-node blocking the pre-PR code
never had, since two nodes share no cache and have nothing to race on.

The lock is now per-IGlobal, created in `beginGlobal` (`reflect_lock`,
declared `None` on the class so a global that never ran `beginGlobal` fails
loudly instead of silently sharing class state). Both writers rebind
`schema` / `db_schema` wholesale and neither reads the other node's, so the
state the lock guards is exactly one node's.

`_insertData` still takes the lock on every batch, and the comment now says
why that is the deliberate choice: an uncontended acquire is nanoseconds
against an insert about to do network I/O, while a check-then-lock fast path
needs the map read once into a local and snapshotted from THAT -- read twice,
a `refresh_schema` landing between the two hands the batch an empty map --
which is a second path no test pins. What made the unconditional acquire
expensive was its process-wide scope, and that is what changed.

Also item nit 4 (DS-N4), first half: `refresh_schema` rendered the tool
payload inside the lock. It is pure formatting, so it now runs after the
release, over the local `refreshed` map rather than `IGlobal.db_schema` --
a refresh that overtook this one has already published its own map, and this
call still owes its caller the schema it reflected. The second half of that
nit (rebuilding `IGlobal.schema` from `db_schema[table]['columns']` instead
of emptying it) is left alone: it changes the map's value shape and the
table-is-gone case that `test_refresh_schema_empties_the_column_map_when_the_table_is_gone`
pins, so it is not a nit-sized change.

Test: `test_a_refresh_does_not_block_another_nodes_insert` builds two
globals over two separate SQLite files, pauses one node's refresh inside the
column walk, and asserts the other node's insert completes while it is held.
Against the pre-fix code it fails with "the second node's insert waited for
the first node's refresh" (1 failed, 50 deselected in 5.63s). The five
existing deterministic concurrency tests are unchanged in substance; the two
that assert the lock is not stranded now acquire the node's own
`reflect_lock`, and the fixture builds one per global the way `beginGlobal`
does.

dylan-savage (review 5215826786, item 9): the comment in `refresh_schema`
concedes that on an auto-created table the curated column map has no `id`, so
a row carrying one has it dropped, while after a refresh the reflected map
binds it -- and asks for that flip to be either removed or pinned by a test.
Nothing exercised it: `test_insert_after_refresh_does_not_bind_the_generated_primary_key`
only inserts rows that OMIT `id`.

`test_a_supplied_id_is_dropped_before_a_refresh_and_bound_after` auto-creates
through the real path, asserts the compiled column list of an insert that
supplies `id` before the refresh ({q, a}) and after it ({id, q, a}), and
checks the stored rows. Its docstring names the consequence the SQLite
fixtures cannot show: PostgreSQL advances a SERIAL sequence only for rows
that take the DEFAULT, so a bound `id` of 501 leaves the sequence at 3 and
the next generated row collides on the primary key, which `writeAnswers`
logs and drops.

No behaviour change -- this is characterisation only. Curating `id` into
`_createTableFromData`'s map so both maps agree is the alternative dylan
offers; it is a product decision about what an auto-created table promises
and is not taken here.

…tion

dylan-savage (review 5215826786, item 6): `_insertData` rejects a row that
omits a primary key with no reflected `server_default` / identity /
autoincrement. A `CHAR(36)` key filled by a `BEFORE INSERT` trigger -- the
standard MySQL UUID idiom before 8.0.13, same shape on PostgreSQL -- reflects
exactly that way, so the batch is refused before the trigger can run, and
`writeAnswers` turns that `ValueError` into one log line and drops every row.
He asks for this to be documented at minimum.

This is the documentation half. The three insert-lane sections (db_postgres,
db_mysql, rocketride_sql; db_clickhouse has no answers lane) now name the
trigger case, say that the answers lane logs and drops the batch rather than
reporting it, and give the workaround: a real column default
(`DEFAULT (uuid())` on MySQL 8.0.13+, `DEFAULT gen_random_uuid()` on
PostgreSQL) reflects and is honoured. db_mysql's paragraph also gained the
rejection sentence itself, which only the other two READMEs carried. All
edits are hand-written prose; no GENERATED:PARAMS region is touched.

`_generated_primary_keys`'s docstring gains the same paragraph, stated as the
false positive it is: reflection describes columns, not triggers.

The stronger option dylan offers -- drop the pre-flight rejection, bind
nothing, let the driver's error come back through `_format_db_error` -- is
not taken here. It costs the guarantee that a refused batch leaves nothing
behind, which is what makes the current rejection safe, so it is put to him
as a question on the thread rather than decided here.

Verified: validate-node-readme.py PASS for all four DB nodes; 263 passed in

dylan-savage (review 5215826786, nit 3), two parts.

`_getTableSchema` already assigns `self.schema` and then returns the same
columns as pairs; `beginGlobal` and `_insertData` rebuilt the map from those
pairs and assigned it again, comment-less. The rebuild was not a no-op only
in that it replaced each reflected column comment with '' -- and this map is
read exclusively by `_insertData`, by key. Both rebuilds are gone; the two
call sites now test the return value and say why there is nothing to assign.
`beginGlobal` keeps its one real assignment, `self.schema = {}` for a table
that does not exist yet, which is the case `_getTableSchema` leaves untouched.
Behaviour for every reader is unchanged: same keys, same order, in the same
single atomic rebind.

The comment above the `dict()` snapshot claimed it guarded an in-place
mutation. No publisher mutates in place any more -- both build a map and
rebind it, which is what they were fixed for earlier in this PR -- so the
comment now says what the snapshot actually buys: binding the map to a local
is what stops a `refresh_schema` mid-batch swapping the map the per-row loop
is walking, and copying it is what keeps that true if a publisher ever fills
one in place again.

No behaviour change. 263 passed in packages/ai/tests/database +
packages/ai/tests/ai/common/database.

The `in scope ` marker's lookahead required the uppercase statement
keyword to follow the phrase immediately, so it fired on the analyzer's
`in scope SELECT ...` echo but not on `in scope (SELECT ...)`.
ClickHouse formats a scope that is itself a subquery or a CTE body
through ASTSubquery, which parenthesises it, and clickhouse-driver
interpolates bind values client-side -- so that form carries the
caller's literal straight through the stripper.

The lookahead now allows one optional `(` before the keyword. Added
test_format_db_error_clickhouse_cuts_a_parenthesised_subquery_scope,
which fails against the previous regex with the whole subquery (and its
bound literal) still in the message. No live ClickHouse server or driver
is available here, so the shape is constructed from the documented
message form, as the neighbouring cases are; the test docstring says so.

`refresh_schema`'s guard formats every reflection failure through
`_format_db_error`, which reads the driver's own sentence. The one case
dylan-savage's item 5 names that has no such sentence is a table dropped
between `get_table_names` and its `get_columns`: SQLAlchemy raises
`NoSuchTableError`, built from the table name alone and carrying no
`.orig`, so the generic branch returned `args[0]` and the caller saw
"Schema refresh failed: ghost" -- a bare noun with no verb.

A `NoSuchTableError` arm before the generic one now says what happened
("table \"ghost\" disappeared while it was being reflected") and logs the
same sentence server-side. The all-or-nothing publication is unchanged:
the arm raises before either cache is assigned.

Added test_refresh_schema_names_a_table_dropped_mid_walk, which fails
against the previous code with the bare table name. The drop is injected
through the inspector rather than raced against a live server, and the
docstring says so.

`reflect_lock` defaults to None on DatabaseGlobalBase so that a global
built without `beginGlobal` cannot silently share one lock across every
node in the process. The failure it produced was loud but anonymous:
`with None:` raises "'NoneType' object does not support the context
manager protocol", naming neither the attribute nor the call that
creates it, and on the answers lane `writeAnswers` reduces any exception
to a single log line -- the quiet failure this PR removes elsewhere.

`_insertData` and `refresh_schema` now take the lock through
`_reflectLock()`, which raises RuntimeError('reflect_lock is created in
beginGlobal; this global never ran it'). No production path reaches it:
no DB node overrides `beginGlobal`. Added
test_a_global_that_never_ran_begin_global_names_the_missing_lock, which
fails against the previous code with the bare TypeError.

The docstring still described the pre-item-7 rule -- "anywhere else a
supplied null is bound as given" -- which caf5bc6 made false when it
widened the explicit-null branch to every server-default and identity
column, and the trigger-limitation paragraph added in fd5e29e had been
stitched onto that sentence, leaving a 130-character line.

The paragraph is now its own, and states the live rule: the generated
keys this returns plus the server-default / identity columns _insertData
reads off the reflected table are one set, and an explicit null on any of
them means "no value". Documentation only; no behaviour change.

ce20586 gave the refresh_schema tool a public failure contract -- a
reflection the database refuses raises `Schema refresh failed:` and
leaves both cached schemas untouched, rather than publishing a
half-walked database -- and a3b1a54 named the table for the
dropped-mid-walk case. None of the four node READMEs said so, which
AGENTS.md's documentation rule requires of a contract change.

One sentence per refresh_schema paragraph in db_postgres, db_mysql,
db_clickhouse and rocketride_sql. Hand-written prose only: no
ROCKETRIDE:GENERATED:PARAMS region is touched. db_clickhouse's sentence
says "the cached schema" rather than "both cached schemas" because that
node has no answers lane and its README never introduces the second
cache. validate-node-readme.py PASSes on all four.

cd4992a and 526f247 matched `in scope ` case-sensitively, which
covers only the two or three analyzer messages per release that splice
the phrase into the middle of a sentence ("Unknown expression identifier
'{}' in scope {}"). The analyzer's common form ends the sentence first
and starts a new one -- "There are no table sources. In scope {}",
"Compound identifier '{}' cannot be resolved as {}. In scope {}",
"Multiple expressions with the same alias {}. In scope {}" -- and that
capitalised form appears in dozens of messages per release across 24.3
through 26.8. Both substitute the same `formatASTForErrorMessage`
output, so both hand back the statement with the caller's bind values
already inlined by clickhouse-driver; matching only the lowercase form
left the majority of the analyzer's messages echoing the query.

The marker becomes `[Ii]n scope ` with the same uppercase-keyword
lookahead, so prose is guarded exactly as before: "not in scope for this
trigger", "In scope for this policy", "in scope select 1" and "in scope
SELECTION" all pass through untouched. The residual is unchanged in
kind and now applies to either case -- an application's own text with an
uppercase SQL keyword right after the phrase ("in scope WITH respect
to") is still cut.

Adds test_format_db_error_clickhouse_cuts_a_sentence_initial_in_scope_echo
on the released `There are no table sources. In scope {}` shape through
the connector db_clickhouse uses; it fails against the previous regex
with the whole statement and the literal present. The prose guard test
is unchanged and still passes.

Also rewraps the refresh_schema docstring paragraph a3b1a54 left
ragged; no wording change there.

dylan-savage, review item 2: "whichever policy wins should be stated in the
error message". The policy that won at the develop merge is rocketride-org#1908's — a failed
statement leaves the session open and the client recovers — but it cannot go
in the error message: asclearuc's contract is that the two execute paths
report a driver failure with identical bytes, and
`test_both_execute_paths_report_a_driver_failure_identically` pins it. A
session-only suffix would break that invariant.

Option (b), offered in the PR thread and taken here: state the policy where
callers actually read it, and pin it with a test so it cannot drift.

- `execute`'s tool description now carries it: a failed statement inside a
  `session_id` rolls nothing back and leaves the session open; recover with
  `rollback`, or `rollback to savepoint <name>`, before sending more work on
  that session; on PostgreSQL the transaction stays aborted until then and
  `commit` is refused. Every agent reads this string before calling the tool.
- `rocketride_sql` and `db_clickhouse` READMEs gain the same paragraph in
  their `execute`/session prose; `db_postgres` (:97) and `db_mysql` (:95-102)
  already state it and are unchanged.
- The comment on the session error arm now says why the message is silent and
  where the policy lives instead.

The behaviour and every error string are unchanged; the error text stays
byte-identical on both paths.

Test: `test_the_execute_tool_description_states_the_session_recovery_policy`
reads `execute.__tool_meta__['description']` and asserts the three clauses.
Fails before this commit (the description was two sentences long).

BEHAVIOUR CHANGE, and it reverses an earlier round of this PR.

dylan-savage, review item 6: `_insertData` raised a ValueError for a row that
omitted a primary key with no reflected server_default / identity /
autoincrement. Reflection describes columns, not triggers, so the standard
pre-8.0.13 MySQL UUID idiom -- a CHAR(36) key filled by a BEFORE INSERT
trigger, same shape on PostgreSQL -- reflected exactly like a key nobody
supplies. The row was refused before the transaction opened, so the trigger
never ran, and on the answers lane `writeAnswers` reduces any exception to one
log line: the whole batch disappeared silently. He offered documenting the
limitation or letting the database enforce it; the stronger option is taken.

The node no longer decides. An omitted primary key it cannot see a generator
for is left OUT of the INSERT (never bound NULL -- an explicit NULL suppresses
a trigger value and a server default alike), so a trigger or a default the
reflection missed can fill it. Where nothing does, the database refuses the
row, and:

- its own message comes back through `_format_db_error`, as
  `Insert into "<table>" failed: <driver sentence>`, with SQLAlchemy's
  `[SQL: ...]` / `[parameters: ...]` echo stripped the same way `execute`
  strips it. A failure that is not a database failure is re-raised untouched.
- nothing of the batch is written. Every run shares one `engine.begin()`, so
  the rollback covers the rows that had already gone out. (A table
  auto-created earlier in the same call is DDL and does survive.)
- on the `answers` lane `writeAnswers` still only logs it -- unchanged, and
  now the log carries the driver's reason instead of the node's guess.

SQLAlchemy emits a SAWarning for a statement that leaves a primary key
unbound. It is correct and is not silenced; it lands in the server log.

Docs: `_generated_primary_keys` docstring, the loop comment and the
insert-lane paragraphs of db_postgres, db_mysql and rocketride_sql READMEs
lose the "rejected" wording and describe the new behaviour and the trigger
case. No services.json changed, so no GENERATED:PARAMS region moved.

Tests (tests/ai/common/database/test_db_execute_errors.py): the three that
pinned the rejection are replaced --
`test_insert_omits_a_text_primary_key_a_trigger_might_fill` (the trigger shape:
TEXT PK, no default, column omitted and left to the database),
`test_insert_leaves_a_sole_primary_key_the_database_does_not_generate_to_the_database`,
`test_insert_omits_a_composite_primary_key_column_the_row_does_not_carry` --
plus `test_insert_surfaces_the_drivers_refusal_of_an_ungenerated_primary_key`
(NOT NULL PK: the driver sentence surfaces formatted, no row survives) and
`test_insert_still_lets_an_integer_primary_key_generate_itself`. The four new
behaviours fail before this commit with the old ValueError.

…arms

dylan-savage, review 5215826786 nit 2: "The driver-error -> RuntimeError
conversion and the .orig duck-test are copy-pasted into four except arms and
already drift in log wording. One _isDbFailure(e) predicate with a single
except Exception arm per site is behaviourally identical."

The log wording does NOT drift within a site — both arms of `execute`'s
session block logged `Error executing raw SQL in session {session_id}` and
both arms of `_executeRawQuery` logged `Error executing raw SQL query`; the
difference is BETWEEN the two sites and is deliberate. The duplication is
real, and this takes the refactor.

`_isDbFailure(exc)` is a module-level predicate next to the other helpers:
True for a SQLAlchemy exception or for anything carrying `.orig` (the
`clickhouse+native://` connector's unwrapped `DatabaseException`), False for
everything else. Each site now has ONE `except Exception as e:` arm that
re-raises when the predicate says no and formats when it says yes. Three
sites, not two: `_insertData`'s arm asks the same question since the previous
commit, so it uses the same predicate.

Behaviour-preserving by construction and by the existing tests:

- the `max_execute_rows` RuntimeError is not a SQLAlchemyError and has no
  `.orig`, so it is still re-raised with its pinned wording and its rollback;
- the two log prefixes are unchanged;
- `except KeyError -> ValueError('unknown or expired transaction session')`
  stays ahead of the collapsed arm;
- the error strings are identical, so
  `test_both_execute_paths_report_a_driver_failure_identically` is untouched.

The proof is that every existing test passes unchanged. Added only
`test_is_db_failure_answers_for_every_shape_the_except_arms_used_to_test`,
which pins the four cases the old arms distinguished; it fails before this
commit with ImportError.
270 -> 271 passed across tests/database + tests/ai/common/database.

dylan-savage, review 5215826786 nit 4 (second half): "refresh_schema ... empties
IGlobal.schema after _getDatabaseSchema already reflected the configured table;
rebuilding from db_schema[table]['columns'] avoids the extra round trips on the
next insert." (The first half -- rendering the payload outside the lock -- was
already done in an earlier commit on this branch.)

`refresh_schema` now publishes
`{name: (type, '') for name, type in refreshed[table]['columns']}` instead of
`{}`. That is exactly the value shape `_getTableSchema` publishes and
`_insertData` consumes, with the comment slot empty because
`_getDatabaseSchema` does not collect comments and `_insertData` only ever
reads this map by key -- so the key set, which is all that reaches the INSERT,
is identical to what the lazy rebuild produced. The next answers-lane batch no
longer re-reflects a table the walk just read.

The table-is-gone case is unchanged: a configured table the walk did not find
(dropped, renamed, or never configured) still publishes `{}`, which re-arms the
lazy rebuild for a table that comes back.
`test_refresh_schema_empties_the_column_map_when_the_table_is_gone` is
untouched and green. The rebind stays inside `reflect_lock`, and the payload
rendering stays outside it.

Tests: `test_refresh_schema_invalidates_the_insert_lane_column_map` becomes
`test_refresh_schema_rebuilds_the_insert_lane_column_map` and asserts the
rebuilt map equals what `_getTableSchema` would publish; new
`test_an_insert_after_a_refresh_does_not_reflect_the_table_again` patches
`_getTableSchema` and asserts it is never called. Both fail before this commit.
Prose in the refresh_schema docstring, the `_insertData` comments and the
db_postgres / db_mysql / rocketride_sql READMEs now says "rebuilds" rather
than "invalidates".
271 -> 272 passed across tests/database + tests/ai/common/database.

…ct-mode residual

Prose only; no behaviour, test logic or generated region touched.

The justification for leaving an ungenerated primary key out of the INSERT
claimed an explicit NULL "suppresses both a trigger's NEW-value default and a
server default". For the idiom this change targets that is wrong: a BEFORE ROW
trigger fires before the NOT NULL check on PostgreSQL and on MySQL 5.7+, sees
the bound NULL and fills it. What an explicit NULL does override is a column
DEFAULT, and where no trigger exists it is a NOT NULL violation -- which is
still sufficient reason to omit, so the decision stands and only the stated
reason changes. Corrected in the `_insertData` pk_names arm and in the
db_mysql and rocketride_sql READMEs; the db_postgres README and the
`_generated_primary_keys` docstring never made the trigger claim.

Three further wording fixes from the same pass:

- The `_generated_primary_keys` docstring still said a row omitting
  `id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY REFERENCES parent(id)` "is rejected". Since an
  unreflected key is simply left out of the INSERT, SQLite still generates the
  rowid; the only cost is the SAWarning.
- The db_mysql README's "MySQL refuses the row itself" now names the condition:
  strict mode (STRICT_TRANS_TABLES, the default since 5.7). Under a non-strict
  sql_mode MySQL stores the implicit default instead, so an omitted CHAR key
  lands as an empty string and the next such row collides with a duplicate-key
  error. The matching test docstring gains the same qualifier.
- The SAWarning is emitted through Python's `warnings` module -- stderr under
  the default filter, once per distinct message per process -- and never
  reaches the tool response; rocketlib routes no warnings through its logger.
  "It lands in the server log" and the READMEs' "SQLAlchemy logs a warning"
  said otherwise.

Finally, the `_insertData` lazy-rebuild comment argued against "a second
publisher for no gain" while `refresh_schema` now publishes the same
comment-less shape from its own walk. One reconciling clause: that is fine for
a map read by key; what this block avoids is a THIRD publisher, on every batch.

@dylan-savage — you hadn't answered last round's two questions, so I took my recommended option for item 2 (tool description + READMEs) and your stronger option for item 6; each one git revert away.

  • Item 2 (739718941) — recovery policy added to the execute tool description (PostgreSQL aborts, ClickHouse doesn't) and the db_clickhouse/rocketride_sql READMEs; error text unchanged.
  • Item 6 (21d64aeb4) — behaviour change, reverses the earlier round: pre-flight PK rejection removed; a PK the node sees no generator for is omitted (never NULL) so a trigger/default can fill it; otherwise the driver refuses and the batch rolls back. test_insert_rejects_a_text_primary_key_without_a_default + 2 siblings → test_insert_omits_a_text_primary_key_a_trigger_might_fill + 2 + a driver-refusal test. SAWarning stays on (stderr only, never in the tool response); silence it if you prefer.
  • Nit 2 (1464b7646)/4b (a07f2c277) — one _isDbFailure(e) predicate, one except arm per site; refresh_schema rebuilds IGlobal.schema from its own walk.
  • b6fd97cb4 — prose: omit-not-bind rationale, MySQL strict-mode residual, SAWarning wording.

Verified: 272 DB-suite (267 before), 3090/123 skipped ai/tests (at a07f2c277; b6fd97cb4 is prose-only), 432/1 skipped nodes suites over eight paths (up from four). SQLite only (no PG/MySQL/ClickHouse/ODBC); item 6 shown via SQLite NOT NULL, trigger can't run there. CI green on b6fd97cb4 — run 35352520952: 17/21 checks passed, 4 skipped by policy, 0 failed.

Open (item 6 residuals): auto-created table is DDL, survives rollback; MySQL refusal is strict-mode (non-strict stores '' for an omitted CHAR key); writeAnswers still only logs it.

Thanks @nihalnihalani — this round is the most disciplined response to a review I have read on this repo. Every item of @dylan-savage's review 5215826786 has a commit against it, each one naming the item it answers, and the fixes are real rather than cosmetic: the PostgreSQL markers are anchored to a newline, refresh_schema's reflection is guarded and keeps both caches on failure, each node has its own reflection lock, and the trigger-populated primary key is left to the database instead of being rejected up front.

I re-ran the formatter at head b6fd97cb against @dylan-savage's three item-4 examples and all three now come back whole: Order rejected. HINT: contact billing, Error 1644: Invalid QUERY: missing tenant filter, and a message that begins with HINT:. The ClickHouse echoes are cut in all four shapes, including the parenthesised In scope (SELECT ...).

I am withdrawing my own previous finding, and I was wrong. I claimed a column dropped before a refresh_schema would fail the whole insert batch with CompileError: Unconsumed column names. That is SQLAlchemy 1.4 behaviour. This repo pins SQLAlchemy>=2.0,<2.1, and 2.0 silently ignores a key the reflected table does not have — I checked it on 2.0.54 with one row, two rows, and a non-null value, and every shape inserted cleanly. So the dropped-column case degrades exactly like the added-column case your test already pins. There is nothing to fix and no test to add. I have resolved that thread.

Approve

One new should fix is inline: a fourth ClickHouse echo shape the marker set does not cover. It is a residual of @dylan-savage's item 3 rather than a new class of problem, and it does not block the merge.

CodeRabbit has no unresolved threads left here — both of its findings on this head were withdrawn or answered. @dylan-savage's review is still formally open; from what I can verify it is answered, but that is theirs to clear.

* docs(agents): Drizzle in the agent bundle + restore the task battery (#2298)

* docs(agents): restore the user task battery beside the agent docs it grades

The 256-item acceptance sheet for the ROCKETRIDE_* context docs was dropped
by the docs revamp (#2139). Bring it back at docs/agents/task-battery.md,
outside context/ so the /client/docs bundle does not ship it, point its
scoring-pass note at the post-revamp paths, and describe it in the README.

* docs: surface the Drizzle ORM driver in the agent bundle and SDK references

The Drizzle-over-pipes driver (#1908) updated the public guide pages but
not the agent-facing context, the pipeline-skill doc map, or the SDK
reference tables, which still steered readers to the deprecated
Sequelize binding.

- ROCKETRIDE_typescript_API.md: add a `drizzle()` subsection, mark
  `sequelize()` deprecated, document `rowMode` on `query()`
- ROCKETRIDE_DOC_MAP.md: link the Drizzle page
- typescript/reference.md: add `drizzle` row and types, flag Sequelize
  as deprecated, add `rowMode` to the `query` signature
- python/reference.md: point the cross-reference at Drizzle

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: address review on the Drizzle agent-doc surfacing

- Point the agent bundle at the absolute docs-site URL for the Drizzle
  guide; the bundle ships into user workspaces where repo paths do not
  resolve
- `debug` is an npm package, not a Node built-in: name `util` and the
  `tty`/`util` pulled in via `debug` as the actual browser-bundle blockers
  (agent doc and public Sequelize guide)
- Note the `unknown[][]` return shape under `rowMode: 'array'` and that
  `rowMode` is TypeScript-only

* fix(nodes): stop four nodes passing raw input downstream (#2304)

After a Python lane handler returns normally, the engine also forwards the handler's input on the same lane. Only `preventDefault()` stops that. Four nodes returned normally, so downstream received the raw input next to the node's own output.

- `context_optimizer`: both exits of `writeQuestions` now end in `return self.preventDefault()`. Downstream no longer gets the untrimmed original next to the trimmed question.
- `summarization`: `writeText` and `writeTable` collect the text, then suppress the forward. Only the summary from `closing()` goes on.
- `tool_guild`: `writeText`, `writeQuestions` and `writeDocuments` collect, then suppress. The docstring claiming "overriding suppresses raw passthrough" is corrected.
- `tool_n8n`: the same for `writeText`, `writeQuestions`, `writeDocuments`, and every `writeImage` / `writeAudio` / `writeVideo` chunk.
- Missing docstrings added in the four node files.

Tests:

- `test_lane_forward_once_nodes.py`: delivery-count cases for every changed handler.
- New `summarization/test_summarization.py`: the node had no unit tests.
- `context_optimizer/test_all.py` and `test_tool_n8n.py`: direct handler calls now require the `PreventDefault` exception.

* fix(memory_persistent): prevent double-forward of questions and answers (#1682)

* fix(memory_persistent): prevent double-forward of questions and answers

* test(memory_persistent): assert preventDefault is called on explicit forwards

* docs(memory_persistent): note preventDefault() unreachability and test stub caveat

* fix(memory_persistent): cover all six exits with delivery-count tests

- Every exit of `writeQuestions` and `writeAnswers` now ends in `return self.preventDefault()`. The separate `return` after `preventDefault()` could never run, because `preventDefault()` raises.
- `test_node.py`: two tests for the invalid `session_id` paths, which no test reached before. Removing `preventDefault()` from either path now fails a test.
- `test_lane_forward_once_nodes.py`: six delivery-count cases, one per exit (no store, invalid session, normal path), under the engine's forward rule. On the normal path, only the enriched or stored copy reaches downstream, never the original.
- Docstrings in `IInstance.py` now document their arguments.

* fix(audio_player): accept stop()'s leftover sentinel in the drain test (#2306)

`stop()` queues its own `None` sentinel when it starts waiting before the audio callback has reached the decoder's. The callback stops at the first `None`, so the second one stays in the queue. `test_begin_write_end_still_drains_normally` still required an empty queue, so it failed whenever `stop()` won that race, which happens on a loaded CI runner.

- The drain test now accepts `[]` or `[None]` as the leftover. Unplayed audio still fails it.
- New `test_stop_waiting_before_the_callback_leaves_only_its_own_sentinel` forces the `stop()`-first order. It requires exactly `[None]` to be left, all audio played, and `stop()` returned.
- The shared setup moved into `_player_with_queued_audio()` and `_start_simulated_hardware()`.

* fix(ci): open the model-sync PR with the release-bot App token (#2312)

Mint a release-bot GitHub App token and pass it to create-pull-request so the weekly Sync LLM Models PR triggers CI on its own instead of waiting for a manual approve. Falls back to github.token if the token can't be minted. release-bot was granted Pull requests: write on the org install. Fixes #2311.

* feat(profiler): per-thread breakdown and a call tree that keeps real work (#2299)

* feat(ai): break the profiler report down by thread

stop() now also captures the session per yappi context, next to the flat
capture and before clear_stats(). threads() lists them busiest first with
their counts, and report_tree() takes an optional thread id; without one it
behaves as before. DAP: new rrext_cprofile_threads, plus an optional thread
argument on rrext_cprofile_report_tree, in the engine subprocess and the
task-server proxy.

Two yappi traps shape the capture:
- get_func_stats(ctx_id=...) tests the id for truthiness, so thread 0 would
  silently get every thread's functions. The filter goes in as a dict.
- The default context name is the thread's class, so workers read 'Thread'
  and engine workers '_DummyThread'. start() installs a callback reading
  Thread.name from threading._active; current_thread() would deadlock when
  the profiled call is _active_limbo_lock.acquire() (yappi #48). yappi keeps
  the first name it gets, so the thread ident is reported as well.

Cost on a parse -> preprocessor pipeline over 12 and 36 documents: the
per-thread copy holds 2.1-3.5 MB against 0.5 MB flat (13-25 threads), and
the capture under _lock grows from ~117 ms to ~250-275 ms.

* perf(ai): cache _relativize_path

stop() calls it under _lock for every entry and callee of each capture:
about 5,900 calls per stop on a parse pipeline over 12 documents, since the
per-thread capture repeats the flat one's paths, over a few hundred
distinct paths. The result depends only on the path, so cache it.

On the same pipeline the capture under _lock drops from ~250-275 ms to
~160-170 ms, against ~117 ms before the per-thread capture existed. Memory
drops only ~10%: every entry of a path now shares one string, but the
per-entry dicts are most of the size.

* fix(ai): stop the call tree from pruning away real work

report_tree() dropped every node whose own time fell under min_pct, and with
it the whole subtree. Two kinds of node read light while real work hangs
below them: frames still running at stop() (thread entry points, executor
worker loops) read ~0 because yappi books time on return, and the event
loop step that resumes a coroutine is short while the coroutine is booked
its whole lifetime. On a parse pipeline this emptied the merged tree, the
event-loop thread and every executor thread started mid-session; threads
that predated the session survived only because their zero-time frames sat
at depths 0 and 1, which are never pruned.

A node is now pruned only when nothing reachable below it reaches the
threshold either. The threshold was also inflated: total_time summed ttot,
counting nested calls again (a 5 s session summed to 412 s). It is now the
time the threads ran, as yappi measures it per thread - the selected one,
or all summed - falling back to the sum of self times without thread data.

Same session after the fix: project code shows in every view at the
default threshold, and trees stay at 4-168 nodes, built in under 60 ms.

* feat(client): list profiled threads and fetch one thread's tree

Python: cprofile_threads() and a thread parameter on cprofile_report_tree().
TypeScript: cprofileThreads() and a trailing thread parameter on
cprofileReportTree(), with CProfileThreadInfo / CProfileThreadsResponse.
Thread 0 is a real id, so both clients test for absence, not truthiness.

The shell re-exports the SDK's types, so the two new ones are new shell-api
names and shell:check fails until they are frozen: this freezes shell-api
v4. Its delta over v3 is exactly these types and the two method signatures.

The contract test runs data through a task's pipeline and checks that no
thread carries yappi's class-based names, that one thread's tree totals that
thread's calls, and that an unknown id is refused, which proves the
argument reached the engine.

test-ui's API sweep and the SDK references list the new method; the Python
reference also claimed include_system defaults to False, which it never did.

* feat(profiler-ui): pick a thread to visualise

A Thread dropdown heads the viz controls: all threads (the old view) or one,
labelled with name, thread id and time, since names repeat. The views get
the same tree shape either way. The list is refetched with the report, a
selection missing from the new list falls back to all threads, and a server
without rrext_cprofile_threads just hides the dropdown. Start clears the
list, since ids are per session.

Bumps the app to 1.3.0: an OSS server reseeds a built-in app only when its
apps.json version changes, so an upgraded server would keep serving the
old profiler otherwise.

* fix(profiler-ui): prune the charts by subtree weight

The client-side cutoff compared a child's own cumtime with its parent's,
so a zero-time frame the server now keeps was dropped again at the root,
taking the work under it along. It now compares the largest cumtime in
each subtree, and runs before the depth limit so that weight covers the
whole subtree.

* fix(profiler-ui): clear the two type errors tsc reports

initConnectionStore took the shell's settings as Record<string, string>,
but they are Record<string, SettingValue>, and a port setting may well be
a number; the seeded host and port are now coerced to strings. The
sunburst filtered on x0/x1 before casting to HierarchyRectangularNode,
which the flame graph already does first. Neither changes behaviour: the
app build does not type-check, which is how both went unnoticed.

* fix: CodeRabbit

* fix(mcp): make the HTTP MCP server testable end to end (auth, routing, engine URI, tools) (#2315)

* fix(mcp): refuse query-string credentials on /mcp and never fall back to the shared client for authenticated callers

AuthMiddleware falls back to `?auth=` when no Authorization header is sent,
but auth.authorize() only read the header. `POST /mcp/?auth=<key>` therefore
passed the middleware, skipped every /mcp check (tk_/pk_/cd_ refusal, JWT
signature, issuer, audience) and ran tools on the server's shared engine
client.

- authorize() now refuses any request carrying an `auth` query parameter
  (parsed as Starlette parses query_params), per the MCP authorization spec.
- Defence in depth: a request the middleware authenticated
  (scope['state']['account']) that carries no header credential is refused
  instead of served by the shared client. The credential-less dev bypass
  (public route, no account) is unchanged.

* fix(mcp): reserve /mcp for the MCP API — move the shell page to /mcp-server and route bare /mcp to the handler

The shell registered a public GET page at /mcp. The MCP endpoint is a
Starlette Mount, which only matches /mcp/..., so the page won the bare
path: POST /mcp answered 405 with no WWW-Authenticate challenge (spec
clients POST to the advertised resource .../mcp and never saw the OAuth
challenge), and AuthMiddleware treated every /mcp request as public.
add_route's duplicate check never saw the clash because the Mount goes
straight onto the router.

- shell: the MCP marketing page moves to /mcp-server (still unlisted).
- mcp: an exact, method-agnostic Route serves bare /mcp alongside the
  Mount, so /mcp and /mcp/ reach handle_mcp identically (no 405/307).
- mcp: initModule refuses to start if any route already claims /mcp or
  /mcp/*, or a public pattern matches the endpoint.
- mcp: MCP_DEV_NO_AUTH now opens exactly /mcp and /mcp/ (loopback only).

* feat(mcp): default the engine URI to the public MCP origin, or the local address on loopback binds

ROCKETRIDE_URI had no default, so on staging/prod every MCP tool call
raised "Missing engine URI". The URI is now resolved once in initModule
and injected into the config every engine client is built from, and it
also drives the widget CSP origin and the upload/dropper links:

1. explicit: config rocketride_uri / env ROCKETRIDE_URI, used as-is
2. loopback default: ws://127.0.0.1:<port> (ws://[::1]:<port>) so a
   laptop engine never silently calls RocketRide's cloud
3. public default: the MCP_RESOURCE_IDENTIFIER origin, https->wss /
   http->ws (default wss://api.rocketride.ai)

One startup log line names the resolved URI (userinfo/query stripped)
and the rule that chose it. ROCKETRIDE_AUTH/APIKEY handling is unchanged.

* fix(mcp): only offer send_files on loopback-bound engines — it reads paths on the engine host

The SDK's send_files checks and opens each caller-supplied path on the
machine running the MCP module. On a deployed engine that is our server, so
any authenticated caller could probe file existence ("File not found") and
upload server files into their own pipeline.

initModule now decides local_engine = is_loopback_bind(bind_host) once and
passes it to build_mcp_server -> ToolRegistry(local_engine=...). Tools
registered local_engine_only (send_files) are neither listed nor dispatched
on a deployed engine: a call by name gets an Unavailable refusal that ignores
the client and arguments. The registry defaults to the deployed surface.
Loopback binds are unchanged.

Also corrects the send_files description (engine-host paths, not
store-relative), drops the stale "or filepath" from run_pipeline, and
updates the MCP docs and agent skill contract.

* fix(mcp): send no SDK env from deployed engines so caller secrets keep precedence

WsEngineClient built RocketRideClient(uri, auth) with no env, so the SDK
loaded os.environ plus ./.env and use() forwarded every ROCKETRIDE_* var as
the run's env. The engine applies caller env last, over org/team/user
secrets, so on a deployed engine the server's own ROCKETRIDE_* vars
overrode a customer's same-named secrets for MCP-started runs.

initModule injects local_engine (the same loopback decision that gates
send_files) into config alongside the resolved URI; make_engine_client
builds the client with env={} unless it is set. Loopback binds keep the SDK
default. Explicit uri/auth are unaffected.

* fix(mcp): rewrite deploy tools against the current SDK deploy API

The MCP deploy tools (#1880) were written against a Python SDK deploy API
that deploy-2 (#1764, 0dfdc8b44) had already removed. In production every
call failed: deploy_add passed a `schedule` kwarg add() no longer takes,
deploy_status/deploy_update called methods that no longer exist,
deploy_remove omitted the now-required team_id, and deploy_list counted
the keys of the {rows,total,page,pageSize} envelope. The suite stayed
green because FakeEngine and the seam tests mirrored the old API.

The seam (WsEngineClient) is now one keyword-argument passthrough per
DeployApi method, and the tools are thin wrappers in the
teams-as-environments model:

- deploy_add -> add (pipeline, comment, deploy_to)
- deploy_list -> list (team_id, paging, search, filters, sort); returns
  deployments + count/total/page/pageSize
- deploy_status -> get (project_id, team_id)
- deploy_versions -> versions (project_id, paging)
- deploy_to_team -> deploy (project_id, version, team_id)
- deploy_set_schedule -> set_schedule (project_id, source_id, schedule,
  team_id, ttl)
- deploy_enable / deploy_disable / deploy_remove -> enable / disable /
  remove (project_id, team_id)

deploy_update is gone; its operations are deploy_add + deploy_to_team and
deploy_set_schedule. The rocketride://pipelines resource returns the
unwrapped envelope. Tool count: 33 (32 on a deployed engine).

Drift guard: test_engine.py calls every deploy_* seam method against a
recording fake and binds each recorded call to the real
rocketride.deploy.DeployApi signature (method must exist, arguments must
bind, every seam argument must arrive under the same name). It fails on
the old seam code. A second test pins the EngineClient protocol and the
conftest FakeEngineClient to the seam's deploy signatures.

* fix(task_http): don't re-send engine env as caller env from task_Execute on deployed engines

task_Execute built RocketRideClient(uri, auth) with no env, so the SDK
snapshotted os.environ plus ./.env and use() forwarded every ROCKETRIDE_*
var as the run's caller env. The engine applies caller env last, over the
org/team/user secrets from get_merged_env, so on a deployed engine the
server's own ROCKETRIDE_* vars overrode a user's same-named secrets for
runs started via POST /task.

Apply the rule MCP already uses (76708650a): the client is built with
env={} unless the server's configured bind host is loopback
(ai.modules.mcp.auth.is_loopback_bind, falling back to the same
CONST_DEFAULT_WEB_HOST WebServer binds with). Loopback binds keep the SDK
default so a local developer's .env still applies. The MCP import is
deferred so loading task_http doesn't pull in the MCP package.

* fix(mcp): close the credential-less auth hole and harden the MCP boundary (#2315)

Addresses the four review findings on PR #2315.

1. Log the resolved bind mode at startup. `is_loopback_bind` judges the
   CONFIGURED host and `CONST_DEFAULT_WEB_HOST` is 'localhost', so a
   deployment that never sets `host` silently runs as a local engine.
   `is_loopback_bind` is unchanged (as the reviewer asked); instead the first
   lines of the log now state the mode, the host it was judged from, and what
   that grants (dev-bypass eligibility, `send_files`, caller-env forwarding),
   with a WARNING when the bind is loopback only by fallback.

2. Refuse credential-less MCP requests. A public route pattern matching an
   MCP descendant (`/mcp/{path}`) makes AuthMiddleware skip the request while
   the Mount still forwards it to `handle_mcp`, where `authorize()` used to
   return None and run tools on the shared, server-identity engine client.
   Both ends are fixed: `authorize()` now refuses a request with no credential
   unless the loopback dev bypass is genuinely active, and the startup guard
   probes representative descendant paths through `is_public_route`, not just
   `/mcp` and `/mcp/`. The bypass rule itself lives in one place --
   `auth.dev_bypass_active` -- used by both `initModule` and `authorize`.

3. Require encrypted engine transport on a non-loopback bind. `handle_mcp`
   hands the caller's credential to `WsEngineClient`, which sends it in the
   first DAP `auth` message, so a `ws://`/`http://` engine URI (explicit or
   derived from the MCP resource identifier) now fails boot with a message
   naming the value and the variable it came from. Loopback binds keep
   cleartext; the https staging/prod defaults are unaffected.

4. Reconcile MCP_TOOL_CONTRACT.md with the registrations. The tables listed
   ~23 of the 33 registered tools: `resolve_config` and `scaffold_node` were
   undocumented and grouped capability rows hid individual tools. Every tool
   now has its own row derived from its real schema and result, and the stale
   `origin/develop @ eb67ddea` pin is replaced with what is accurate now.

Test-first: 27 new tests fail against the previous implementation. Three
existing tests encoded behaviour findings 2 and 3 deliberately change and were
updated; the WebServer-backed route tests now clear ROCKETRIDE_URI /
MCP_RESOURCE_IDENTIFIER after construction so a developer's dist/server/.env
no longer decides what they resolve.

717 passed, 0 skipped (was 683).

* fix(mcp): key the startup guards on patterns and targets, not probes and binds (#2315)

Three follow-ups to the review findings on PR #2315.

1. The startup guard now inspects the registered public PATTERN STRINGS, not
   just probe literals. Public entries are compiled with `compile_path`, so a
   converter-typed pattern (`/mcp/{id:int}`, `/mcp/{x:uuid}`) narrows the regex
   to values no fixed probe satisfies -- the guard missed it while
   AuthMiddleware still skipped auth for every `/mcp/<digits>` the Mount
   forwards. `_registered_public_patterns` reads `_public_paths` (real
   WebServer) and `public` (test double), the same pair the dev bypass already
   writes to, and degrades to nothing when neither is present.
   `_claims_mcp_pattern` normalises (whitespace, trailing slashes) and refuses
   only a whole-segment match, so `/mcp`, `/mcp/` and `/mcp/{...}` trip while
   `/mcpx` and `/mcp-server` do not. Message shape and per-claimant naming are
   unchanged.

2. The cleartext refusal now keys on the engine URI's TARGET HOST rather than
   the bind. A credential sent to `ws://127.0.0.1:5565` never reaches a wire
   anyone can tap, and the bind-keyed rule was a deployment hazard:
   `WebServer.__init__` loads `dist/server/.env`, `.env.template` ships
   `ROCKETRIDE_URI=http://localhost:5565`, and `docker/Dockerfile.engine`
   copies `dist/server/` into the image, so a pod carrying that file would have
   failed to boot. `auth.is_loopback_bind` judges a configured bind string
   against exact literals and does not fit a URI netloc (userinfo, port, IPv6
   brackets, the whole 127.0.0.0/8 range), so a small `_targets_loopback_host`
   helper was added next to the rule instead of bending it; it still reuses
   `auth.LOOPBACK_HOSTS` for the by-name allowlist. Non-loopback targets fail
   boot as before, with the same redaction.

3. `MCP_TOOL_CONTRACT.md`'s `scaffold_node` row described only
   `local_nodes/<name>/...`, so a contract-following client omitted the
   `local_nodes/__init__.py` package marker `_scaffold_node` also returns and
   the engine could not import `local_nodes.<name>`. The row now names the
   marker and says to write every returned path; `docs/public/mcp/http/tools.md`
   carried the same omission and is corrected too. The engine-module doc now
   states the target-keyed transport rule.

Test-first for 1 and 2: 46 new tests fail against the previous implementation.
No existing test encoded the old bind-keyed rule (every refusal case already
used a non-loopback target), so none needed updating.

763 passed, 0 skipped (was 717).

* fix(mcp): refuse a cleartext engine URI on every bind, not just a public one (#2315)

Closes the gap the previous commit left in `_resolve_engine_uri`. That commit
moved the cleartext refusal onto the engine's TARGET host
(`_targets_loopback_host`), but the explicit branch still guarded the call with
the BIND:

    if explicit:
        if not loopback:
            _refuse_cleartext_engine_uri(...)

so a loopback-bound MCP server with `ROCKETRIDE_URI=ws://engine.remote:5565`
skipped the check entirely and sent the CALLER's credential over the network in
the clear -- `handle_mcp` binds it to the per-request engine client and
`WsEngineClient` puts it in the first DAP `auth` frame. The bind says nothing
about whether the wire is exposed; only the target does.

`_refuse_cleartext_engine_uri` now runs for every explicit URI, on any bind,
with the same `rocketride_uri` / `ROCKETRIDE_URI` source naming and the same
redaction. Loopback TARGETS stay allowed inside the helper, so the shipped
`dist/server/.env` (`ROCKETRIDE_URI=http://localhost:5565`) still boots. The
local `loopback` variable is gone: `auth.is_loopback_bind` is now read inline
where it genuinely selects the DEFAULT URI, so no bind-keyed condition is left
anywhere near the encryption rule. The `loopback default` branch resolves
`ws://127.0.0.1:<port>`, a loopback target, and the `public default` branch
already called the helper.

Docs and docstrings that stated the old bind-keyed rule now say the check keys
on the target host: `_resolve_engine_uri`, `initModule`,
`_refuse_cleartext_engine_uri`, and `docs/development/engine/mcp-module.md`.
`docs/public/mcp/http/self-hosting.md` never stated the rule at all even though
it fails an operator's boot, so its guard list now carries it.

Test-first: 8 new cases fail against the previous implementation (explicit
`ws://` and `http://` remote targets on `127.0.0.1` / `localhost` / `::1`
binds, from env and from config, redaction included), plus explicit `wss://`
accepted on any bind and the loopback-target cases extended over loopback
binds. Two existing tests used an explicit remote `ws://` URI incidentally --
one for dropper-link origins, one for `engine_origin` threading -- and now use
`wss://`; neither was asserting the transport rule.

794 passed, 0 skipped (was 763).

* fix(ai): accept the single-component validation payload the node panel sends (#2346)

* fix(ai): accept the single-component validation payload the node panel sends

The node config panel validates one component on save and sends
`{version, component}` — the `IComponentValidatePayload` shape the shell
contract declares this endpoint accepts (shell/src/types/project.ts:308). The
engine validates pipelines and requires `components`, so every save answered
"'pipeline.components' must be an array", whatever the node.

The component now travels as a one-item `components` list, built before the
source is inferred so `resolve_implied_source` sees it. A config that already
carries `components` is untouched.

Reachable since #1573: until then `rrext_validate` failed on every call with
"'pipeline' is missing or invalid", so this payload never reached the
validator. The panel has sent this shape since #1843 (7 Aug).

Removing the four lines fails the two new tests, and the engine itself answers
the reported message:

    validatePipeline({'pipeline': {'version': 1, 'component': c}})    -> "'pipeline.components' must be an array"
    validatePipeline({'pipeline': {'version': 1, 'components': [c]}}) -> 0 errors

* docs(clients,ai): document the single-component validate payload

The endpoint now accepts {version, component} as well as a full pipeline, which
is a public-contract change: both SDK references say so, and on_rrext_validate's
Args: block does too — the inline comment explained it, but the docstring is
what a reader hits first.

Also states that a payload carrying both keys keeps 'components' and drops the
stray 'component', so the next reader does not have to derive that it is
deliberate.

* fix(ai,nodes): surface database error text from execute and add refresh_schema tool (#2283)

* fix(ai,nodes): surface database error text from execute and add refresh_schema tool

Two gaps in the shared database node base, both scoped to stay out of the
way of the pull requests already open against this file.

_executeRawQuery caught every SQLAlchemyError, logged it, and returned
None, so execute() answered with the same 'check server logs for details'
string whether the statement had a typo, named a missing table, or was
refused for permissions. Its except clause now raises with the driver's own
message through IGlobal._format_db_error. Only that clause changes:
execute()'s `if result is None` branch becomes unreachable but is left in
place, with a comment saying so, because an open PR is rewriting that
region. Session-bound execute already re-raised the real exception, so the
two paths finally agree, and the max_execute_rows rollback is untouched.

IGlobal.db_schema is assigned exactly once, in beginGlobal, so get_schema
serves a task-start snapshot for the life of the task and a table created
through execute stays invisible until the pipeline restarts. The new
refresh_schema tool re-reflects and replaces it, returning the get_schema
shape plus a refreshed_at UTC timestamp so a caller can show how current
the schema it holds is. Reflection and publication run under a module-level
lock: concurrent callers would otherwise repeat the same full table walk
and race to publish the result. The tool is additive and lives entirely in
db_instance_base.py, since another open PR is adding to db_global_base.py.
It also fixes the natural-language path, which describes that same dict to
the LLM. get_schema's nested table formatter is lifted to a shared private
method so both tools render one shape.

Tests are a new module rather than an addition to test_db_base.py, which
two open PRs are both appending to. Eleven cases over an in-memory SQLite
engine cover the driver text reaching the caller, the gate still refusing
first, re-reflection seeing created and dropped tables, the timestamp
format, and four concurrent refreshes all returning.

Tool tables in the four node READMEs that inherit this surface list
refresh_schema and say in one sentence what get_schema's snapshot does not
show. services.json declares no tool list, so nothing to mirror there.

* test(ai): give the execute-session IGlobal stub a real _format_db_error

execute()'s stateless failure path now formats the driver error through
IGlobal, but this module builds IGlobal as a SimpleNamespace carrying only
the four fields the transaction tests needed. Nothing failed, because no
test here drove a bad statement through that path — the next one to try
would have died with AttributeError instead of the RuntimeError it was
asserting.

The stub borrows the real DatabaseGlobalBase implementation rather than a
lambda, so the message a test sees is the message a caller gets. A test for
the stateless failure path comes with it, so the fixture stays honest:
removing the one line makes it fail with AttributeError.

* refactor(ai): shrink the refresh_schema diff in db_instance_base

No behaviour change; this only narrows what the previous commit touched in
a file three open pull requests are editing.

get_schema's body is back to exactly what develop has, docstring aside: the
nested _format_table closure returns, and the _format_table static method
and _schemaPayload helper it had been lifted into are gone. Sharing them
was tidier, but it rewrote a method none of the open PRs needs to change,
and a few duplicated formatting lines cost less than that. That hunk is now
five added docstring lines instead of a 31-line rewrite.

refresh_schema moves to the end of the tool section, below dialect, so the
whole tool arrives as one appended block past the execute body PR #1908
rewrites rather than as an insertion ahead of it. It formats its own tables
inline, and the lock is now _REFLECT_LOCK.

* docs(nodes): complete the agent tool contract in the db READMEs

Two review findings on the READMEs this PR touched, both in the section
the node README schema calls the agent-facing contract and holds to the
highest accuracy bar.

db_postgres listed four tool functions in the summary and in "As a tool",
then a separate table of three transaction tools — seven of the nine
@tool_function methods an agent actually sees on DatabaseInstanceBase.
`execute` appeared only as prose inside the transaction paragraph and
`dialect` only as the QuestionType.DIALECT lane behaviour, so an agent
author reading the inventory would not know either exists as a tool. The
count is now nine in both places, `dialect` joins the open table, and
`execute` joins what was the Transactions table, renamed "Raw SQL and
transactions" because a statement without a session_id is neither. That
table's gate sentence also said requests are "silently dropped" when
allow_execute is off; the four tools raise (db_instance_base.py:301,
339, 371), and it is the questions lane that logs and drops — the two
behaviours are now stated apart. The `execute` row records the driver
message and the rollback-on-overflow that this PR's own change produced,
rather than implying a truncated result set.

rocketride_sql named refresh_schema in its tool table but left its
contract out of the prose beneath, where that README already documents
every other non-obvious argument and return shape. It takes no arguments
(input_schema declares no properties) and returns {database, tables}
exactly as get_schema does, plus a refreshed_at UTC ISO-8601 timestamp
from datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat().

Docs only; no behaviour change. Both nodes still pass
scripts/validate-node-readme.py, and so does the whole corpus under
./builder docs:validate.

* fix(ai): keep SQL statements and bind parameters out of execute error text

`_format_db_error` only produced a clean `Error <code>: <msg>` when the
driver put an integer first in `orig.args` — the pymysql and
clickhouse-driver shape. psycopg2 and sqlite3 put a string there, so both
fell through to `str(exc)`, which for a SQLAlchemy StatementError is the
full repr: the executed statement in `[SQL: ...]` and the values bound
into it in `[parameters: ...]`.

That string is no longer log-only. `_executeRawQuery` re-raises it as a
RuntimeError that the `execute` tool returns to its caller, and #2282
wires a user-facing Refresh/Run UI onto exactly that path, so a failed
INSERT would hand the caller back the row it tried to write.

Unwrap each driver shape explicitly and keep only the primary message:
the numeric-code branch as before; psycopg2's `diag.message_primary`
(its `str()` also carries a `LINE n:` echo of the statement, which
psycopg2 has already interpolated the bind values into); and `args[0]`
for sqlite3 and the generic DBAPI shape. Every branch then runs through
`_strip_statement_detail`, which truncates at the first `[SQL:`,
`[parameters:`, `LINE n:`, `DETAIL:`/`HINT:`/`CONTEXT:` or sqlalche.me
marker, so a driver shape not enumerated here still cannot leak the
tail. DETAIL is dropped along with the rest because PostgreSQL uses it
to restate the offending key values.

The helper is module-level rather than a method so `_format_db_error`
keeps working when tests bind it onto a stub IGlobal.

Tests cover the real sqlite3 driver end-to-end through `execute`, plus
the psycopg2 (with and without `diag`), sqlite3 and pymysql shapes and a
bare StatementError repr.
`test_format_db_error_falls_back_to_str_when_args_not_int_first` pinned
the old leaking fallback, so it is replaced by an assertion that the
driver message — not `str(exc)` — is what comes back.

`_strip_statement_detail`'s degenerate case gets the same treatment. A
message that is nothing but detail markers left no primary sentence, and
the old fallback returned the first line — which on that input is the
`[SQL: ...]` echo the function exists to remove. It now returns a
neutral constant, so there is no input on which the helper hands back the
statement.

* fix(ai): refresh the answers-lane column map in refresh_schema

`refresh_schema` replaced `IGlobal.db_schema`, the database-wide
reflection the natural-language path describes to the LLM, and stopped
there. `IGlobal.schema` — the configured table's column map that
`_insertData` iterates to build every answers-lane INSERT — is a second
start-up snapshot, and it was left untouched, rebuilt only lazily when
falsy.

So the node was current on one path and stale on the other: after
running `ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN` and calling the refresh tool, the
LLM path saw the new column while the insert lane kept writing the
start-up column set and silently dropped it. The four db node READMEs
document both the insert lane and "re-reads the schema from the
database", so the documented contract overstated the code.

Invalidate the map inside the same reflection lock. Emptying it re-arms
the lazy rebuild already at the top of `_insertData`, which reflects
through the same `_getTableSchema` call `beginGlobal` uses, so the next
insert sees what a freshly started node would. Emptying rather than
re-reflecting here keeps the call cheap for a node with no answers lane
wired, and makes the write a single atomic rebind: a concurrent
`_insertData` either reads the old map or finds it falsy and rebuilds,
never a half-built dict.

Invalidating the map is only safe once `_insertData` stops binding a
generated primary key, so that is fixed in the same commit.
`_createTableFromData` curates `IGlobal.schema` down to the data columns
for an auto-created table, because the `id` it prepends is generated by
the database; a map built by reflection carries `id` instead. Since
`_insertData` binds NULL for any schema column the rows do not supply,
swapping the curated map for a reflected one would have started binding
`id=None` on every later insert — tolerated by SQLite's rowid alias, a
not-null violation against the `id SERIAL NOT NULL` Postgres renders for
the same column. `_insertData` now drops primary-key columns that no row
in the batch supplies, decided once per batch so every mapping handed to
executemany keeps an identical key set. The two maps therefore produce
the same INSERT and refreshing cannot change answers-lane behaviour
mid-task. It also fixes the same NULL bind on the path that always
reflected: a table that already existed when `beginGlobal` ran.

Tests cover the refreshed insert picking up a new column, the
pre-existing stale behaviour it fixes, a dropped configured table leaving
a falsy map, and — by asserting on the compiled INSERT rather than on
what SQLite tolerates — that an auto-created table's insert still carries
the data columns only after a refresh, that a reflected primary key the
rows do not supply is omitted, that one they do supply is still bound,
and that a primary-key-only table falls back to binding it.

* docs(nodes): describe the raw-SQL gate the db nodes actually have

The `Raw SQL and transactions` section said `allow_execute` is "the same
gate as `QuestionType.EXECUTE`" and contrasted the tools with "the
`questions` lane, which logs and drops the request". No SQL database
node implements that branch: `DatabaseInstanceBase.writeQuestions` does
not look at `question.type` at all, and `QuestionType` appears in
db_instance_base.py only at the import and in one unrelated
`Question(type=QuestionType.QUESTION, ...)` construction. The
dispatch-on-type behaviour belongs to the graph node
(`graph_instance_base.py` handles `DIALECT` and `EXECUTE`), and the
wording was carried across without being checked against this file.

Correct it wherever it appears in prose:

- db_postgres: the "Two special question types are handled on the
  questions lane" bullets are removed — the lane has one behaviour,
  translate-then-execute, and `dialect` / `execute` are the tool
  functions that reach those behaviours. The gate sentence now says
  what `allow_execute` gates (the four raw-SQL tools) and that it does
  not change the questions lane, which never runs raw SQL.
- rocketride_sql: same two claims, in the config and Notes sections.

Also make the refresh_schema wording match the code now that the tool
invalidates the answers-lane column map as well as the database-wide
schema, so "re-reads the schema from the database" is true end to end
rather than only for the LLM path.

The same claim lived in the generated config tables, whose source of
truth is the `allow_execute` field description in each node's
services*.json. Those five descriptions now name the four tool functions
the flag actually gates, and the generated regions are regenerated from
them, so db_postgres/README.md no longer contradicts itself between its
prose and its parameter table. Only the SQL nodes are touched: the graph
nodes do dispatch on `QuestionType.EXECUTE`, so their copy is correct as
it stands.

Two smaller instances of the same transposition: the new db_postgres
sentence named `db_neo4j`, a retired path that redirects to
`graph_neo4j`, and db_clickhouse/IInstance.py said its dialect string is
"surfaced via QuestionType.DIALECT" when only the `dialect` tool reaches
it.

* fix(ai): apply the same execute error contract to the session path

A raw statement run with a session_id went through
TransactionRegistry.execute, which has no try/except, and the existing
`except Exception` arm in execute() re-raised the SQLAlchemy exception
unchanged. str() of that exception ends in `[SQL: ...]` and
`[parameters: ...]`, so the same tool behind the same allow_execute gate
returned the statement and its bound values to the caller purely because
a session id was passed, while the sessionless half stripped them.

Add a `SQLAlchemyError` arm above the existing `except Exception` (the
max-rows RuntimeError is not a SQLAlchemyError, so its wording and its
rollback are untouched): log the full exception, release the session, and
raise `RuntimeError('SQL execution failed: ' + _format_db_error(e))`.
The fix lives in execute() rather than tx_registry because the registry
has no IGlobal and is shared with other callers.

Session release moves into _releaseFailedSession, shared by both arms.
A rollback that itself fails is logged and swallowed: previously an
exception raised inside the cleanup replaced the error the caller was
being told about (a monkeypatched rollback surfaced as 'boom').

Also drop the dead `result is None` branch in execute() and correct
_executeRawQuery's annotation to `-> dict`: the method has returned the
shaped dict or raised since it started carrying the driver's message, so
the branch could only ever have produced the opaque 'check server logs
for details' string this work exists to replace, and the annotation
contradicted the comment above the branch. execute() is its only caller.

* refactor(ai): share one table formatter between get_schema and refresh_schema

refresh_schema rebuilt get_schema's nested _format_table line for line,
with `result` renamed to `entry`. Both tools promise callers the same
per-table shape -- their tool descriptions say so, and an LLM picks
between them on that sentence -- but the equality test compared the two
copies to each other, so it would have stayed green while a later change
added a key (an index list, a column comment, a nullable flag) to one
copy only.

Lift the formatter to a module-level _format_table and call it from
both; get_schema's body loses the nested definition, refresh_schema
loses the loop. The wire format is byte-identical, so the existing shape
tests pass untouched. The docstring paragraph calling the duplication
deliberate goes with it.

test_refresh_schema_matches_get_schema_shape now reflects a table with
both a primary key and a foreign key, so the two optional entries are
actually exercised on both sides, and _format_table gains a direct unit
test for the optional-key rules an equality check cannot see.

* fix(ai): make the lazy schema rebuild safe for concurrent inserts

refresh_schema empties IGlobal.schema to re-arm the rebuild at the top of
_insertData, which is what makes this reachable at runtime: a second
insert can now arrive while the first is reflecting.

_getTableSchema published `self.schema = {}` and then grew it column by
column, and _insertData checked, rebuilt and then took a reference to
that same dict without a lock. A concurrent insert could therefore see
the empty map (falling into the "no schema cached" branch, which binds
the item's raw keys and skips the generated-key handling), or a truthy
but half-built one (silently dropping columns the caller had supplied),
or a dict changing size while the per-row loop iterated it. A reflection
that failed midway left the half-built map published for the next insert
to believe.

_getTableSchema now builds into a local dict and publishes it with one
assignment, so a failure leaves the previous map untouched. _insertData
holds _REFLECT_LOCK across the falsy check, the rebuild and a snapshot
copy, and builds the batch from the snapshot; the lock is released before
the Table reflection and before the INSERT, neither of which reads the
map. The comment above refresh_schema's invalidation no longer claims
the single rebind makes the rebuild atomic.

Tests hold a rebuild open inside the real column walk rather than
simulating the window: without the lock the second insert stored NULL in
a column it had supplied, an overlapping refresh left a one-column map,
and a failed reflection published a partial one.

* fix(ai): decide generated primary keys per row, not per batch

The answers lane worked out which primary-key columns to leave unbound
once per batch, from the union of every row's keys. One row carrying
`id` therefore put `id` into every mapping, and the rows that omitted it
bound NULL into a key the database was supposed to generate. SQLite
tolerates that for a rowid alias; Postgres rejects the whole batch for an
`id SERIAL NOT NULL` column. The sole-primary-key table had the same
problem by construction: the `omit_columns = set()` fallback bound NULL
because omitting everything would have left an empty mapping.

Which primary keys the database generates is now read from the reflected
Table -- `autoincrement_column` (SQLAlchemy's own resolution, covering a
reflected `autoincrement=True` and the `'auto'` rule that recognises
SQLite's rowid alias), plus any primary-key column with a server_default,
an Identity, or an explicit autoincrement -- rather than assumed of every
primary key. Per row: a generated key the row omits is left out of that
row's mapping, a supplied value is bound, and an explicitly supplied None
is bound as NULL, so the three cases stay distinguishable. A primary key
the database does NOT generate and the row does not carry is a ValueError
naming the table, the columns and the row position, raised before the
transaction opens.

Rows are then executed as contiguous runs sharing a key set, all inside
one engine.begin(): contiguous rather than gathered, because generated
ids follow insertion order and regrouping would hand back ids in an order
the caller's rows never had, and one transaction because a batch must
stay all-or-nothing as a single executemany was. A run whose mapping is
empty gets a values-less `insert(table)` per row, which SQLAlchemy
renders as `DEFAULT VALUES` on PostgreSQL and SQLite and `() VALUES ()`
on MySQL.

test_insert_binds_the_primary_key_when_it_is_the_only_column pinned the
old fallback and is replaced by the default-values test, plus a
compile-only check of all three dialect renderings (no live PostgreSQL or
MySQL in this suite).

* test(ai): pin the caller-facing error policy for Postgres and MySQL

CodeRabbit's security finding asks for a generic message or a stable
category instead of the driver's own words. That is not adopted: the
maintainer's review endorses the primary-message contract precisely
because "no such column: foo" is what lets a caller fix their statement.
What was missing was the policy written down and held in place by tests.

_format_db_error's docstring now states the residual it accepts: a
driver's primary sentence may quote a value from the statement being
reported (Postgres `invalid input syntax for type integer: "abc"`, MySQL
`Duplicate entry 'x' for key 'users.email'`). That value was submitted by
the caller now reading the message, who also holds allow_execute; values
belonging to other rows appear only in DETAIL / HINT / CONTEXT, which are
stripped. Blanking quoted tokens generically is rejected because MySQL
quotes identifiers with single quotes too, so the redaction would delete
"which column" from the message that most needs it.

The tests build real DBAPIError wrappers via DBAPIError.instance, so
str(exc) genuinely carries the `[SQL: ...]` / `[parameters: ...]` tail and
the assertions bite: a Postgres duplicate-key whose DETAIL restates the
email, the same without .diag so the LINE echo is exercised, the MySQL
duplicate entry that documents the accepted residual, and the MySQL
unknown-column that documents why redaction is refused. One more drives
both shapes through BOTH execute paths and asserts the two messages are
identical -- against the pre-fix source the session-bound half raised the
raw DBAPIError with the bound 'ada@example.com' attached.

Mock-based by necessity: no live PostgreSQL or MySQL in this suite, so
the driver exception shapes are reproduced rather than provoked. No
behaviour change.

* docs(nodes): correct the lane, cache and error prose in the four SQL READMEs

All four checked against the node code and services.json rather than
against each other.

db_clickhouse declares only a `questions` lane (services.json
`lanes: {questions: [...]}`), so the sentence about schema refresh
reaching the `answers` insert lane described a lane the node does not
have; it is removed. db_mysql, db_postgres and rocketride_sql do declare
`answers`, so theirs stays — reworded, because refresh_schema
invalidates that column map rather than rebuilding it, and the rebuild
happens on the next insert.

"Return the schema reflected when the node started" was wrong in all
four after refresh_schema shipped: get_schema serves whatever snapshot
the node currently holds, which is the start-up reflection until a
refresh replaces it.

db_postgres said every question on the `questions` lane is translated to
SQL and executed. When the LLM reports the question is not a database
query (`isValid: false`), writeQuestions emits its prose answer and
nothing runs against the database, so the lane is described as the
natural-language path with only valid generated SQL executed.

Each README now states the execute error contract the code enforces: a
failure raises `SQL execution failed:` plus the driver's primary
message, identically with and without a session_id, with the statement
and bound parameters kept to the server log — and with the residual
named, since a driver's primary sentence can quote a value the caller
itself submitted.

scripts/validate-node-readme.py passes for all four nodes; no GENERATED
block touched.

* fix(ai): publish the auto-created table's column map in one assignment

_createTableFromData is the second writer of IGlobal.schema and still had
the publish-then-fill shape B4 removed from _getTableSchema: it created
the table, assigned `self.schema = {}`, then added one key per column,
all outside _REFLECT_LOCK. By the time that loop runs the table exists,
so a second first-batch can already be inside _insertData; it takes the
lock, finds a truthy one-column map, snapshots it and silently drops
every other column its row carried. Reproduced by pausing the real fill
loop: the second row landed as {'label': 'b', 'size': None,
'colour': None} for input that supplied all three.

The map is now built in a local dict and published in a single
assignment. The lock is NOT widened over table creation, so the
pre-existing double-create race is untouched and still out of scope.

Also seeds a stale map into a direct _getTableSchema failure test: the
existing rebuild-failure test starts from {}, which cannot tell "previous
map left untouched" from "map reset to {}". Against the pre-B4 source
that new test fails with the stale entry replaced by a partial one.

* fix(ai): cut the clickhouse stack trace and position echo from execute errors

The formatter's docstring claimed "pymysql / clickhouse-driver put
(errno, message) in .orig.args". Only pymysql does. clickhouse-driver's
DBAPI layer raises OperationalError(ServerException), so .orig.args holds
one exception object, every branch falls through to str(orig), and what
reached the caller was the driver's full string form: "Code: N.\n
DB::Exception: <message>. Stack trace:\n\n0. DB::Exception::Exception(...)
@ 0x..." — server internals the caller cannot act on — plus, for a syntax
error, the failing statement fragment quoted after "failed at position N
('...')", which is the same class of statement echo as psycopg2's
"LINE n:".

_DB_ERROR_DETAIL gains "Stack trace:" and "failed at position" as
markers, so both are cut by the stripper that already handles the other
drivers rather than by a new branch. Neither phrase can misfire on the
shapes the other drivers produce.

The docstring now states the real clickhouse-driver shape instead of
claiming the pymysql one. Two constructed tests cover it, labelled in
their docstrings as reproduced from the driver's documented behaviour:
clickhouse-driver is not installed in this engine, so the shape cannot be
provoked here.

* docs(ai): state the real execute error contract and schema-cache wording

Three corrections to text, no behaviour change.

The error-contract paragraph overclaimed. It said values belonging to
other rows appear only in DETAIL / HINT / CONTEXT, which are stripped.
Both halves of that are wrong: a real SQLite run returns
`SQL execution failed: near "'hunter2'": syntax error` — the statement
fragment the parser stopped on is in the primary sentence — and
PostgreSQL's `invalid input syntax for type integer: "<value>"` names a
row value an INSERT ... SELECT or a CAST merely touched, which can come
from another table. pymysql and psycopg2 interpolate binds client-side,
so such a fragment can carry a bound value too. The docstring now lists
what is removed (the SQLAlchemy tail, LINE n:, DETAIL/HINT/CONTEXT/
QUERY/STATEMENT, the ClickHouse stack trace and position echo) and what
is passed through, and rests the policy on the argument that actually
holds: the recipient has allow_execute and can already read the same data
with a SELECT, so the error channel does not widen read access. Two tests
(one per execute path) pin the syntax-error shape on a real SQLite run.

get_schema's docstring said the schema is "reflected once in beginGlobal"
and refresh_schema's tool description — the sentence an LLM reads when
choosing between the two tools — said get_schema serves the snapshot
reflected when the node started. Both became false the moment
refresh_schema shipped, and both contradicted the READMEs corrected for
exactly that in c258211d.

_generated_primary_keys gains a paragraph recording the SQLite-only
residuals of SQLAlchemy's 'auto' rule: INT/BIGINT/INTEGER-DESC primary
keys are treated as generated although SQLite does not alias them to the
rowid, and an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY that is also a foreign key is treated
as required although it is an alias. PostgreSQL and MySQL reflection set
autoincrement explicitly, so production nodes resolve exactly.

* docs(nodes): correct the error-contract and remaining schema wording

Two corrections, both to sentences this PR itself introduced or left
behind.

The error sentence in all four READMEs promised that "the statement text
and the bound parameter values are never part of it". That is not what
the code does: a real run returns `SQL execution failed: near
"'hunter2'": syntax error`, and PostgreSQL's `invalid input syntax for
type integer: "<value>"` names a value an INSERT ... SELECT or a CAST
read from another table. Each README now says what is actually removed
(SQLAlchemy's `[SQL:]`/`[parameters:]` echo, and per engine: PostgreSQL's
LINE n:/DETAIL/HINT/CONTEXT, ClickHouse's server stack trace and its
`failed at position` echo) and that the primary sentence is passed
through as the database wrote it, so it can name a value the statement
carried or touched — resting the policy on the argument that holds, that
reaching this tool requires Allow direct query execution and such a
caller can read the same data with a SELECT. The full text stays in the
server log. db_postgres moves that contract out of the already-long
`execute` table cell into prose below the table, as the other three do.

The intro sentences in db_clickhouse and db_mysql still said
"startup-reflected schema", the wording corrected everywhere else in
c258211d; both now describe the cached snapshot and name refresh_schema.

scripts/validate-node-readme.py passes for all four; no GENERATED block
touched.

* fix(ai): leave every database-owned column to the database on the insert lane

Two ways an explicit NULL still reached a column the database was meant
to fill, both silent because writeAnswers only logs, and one comment that
claimed neither could happen.

_generated_primary_keys skipped primary-key columns only, so any other
newly reflected column was bound NULL — and an explicit NULL overrides a
server default. The sequence the refresh tool invites: answers is
auto-created as (id, q, a) with the curated map {q, a}; an agent runs
ALTER TABLE answers ADD COLUMN created_at ... NOT NULL DEFAULT now(); the
tool description tells it to call refresh_schema, so the next batch
rebuilds the map by reflection, binds created_at = NULL, and the batch
that worked a moment earlier is dropped with one log line. Reproduced on
SQLite: NOT NULL constraint failed: answers.created_at, parameters
('how', 'like this', None). _insertData now also reads
generated_defaults — every column with a server_default or an identity —
off the reflected table and omits those the row does not supply.

An explicit null on a generated key was bound as NULL. On the execute
tool that is right: a person wrote the statement. On the insert lane the
caller is an upstream node, and an LLM node or a JSON mapper emits every
schema key, writing null for the ones it has no value for — the same
intent as omitting it. Postgres rejects that NULL for a SERIAL column;
MySQL and SQLite generate a value, so the failure is dialect-dependent as
well as silent. A supplied null on a generated primary key is now treated
as omitted; everywhere else it is still bound as given.

The comments at refresh_schema's invalidation and above the binding loop
said the invalidation cannot change answers-lane behaviour. This PR's own
test shows it can, and that half is the point of the tool. They now state
the guarantee that actually holds: the columns present only in the
reflected map are omitted rather than bound NULL, so the database still
fills in what it owns.

Also drops the unreachable "no schema cached" branch: after the locked
block IGlobal.schema is populated or the method has raised, so the
snapshot is always truthy. The empty-map half of the lock rationale went
with it; the half-built-map half, which the concurrency test proves,
stays.

* fix(ai): format driver errors the dialect did not wrap in a SQLAlchemy exception

The error contract this PR documents was not delivered on the ClickHouse
node at all. db_clickhouse connects with `clickhouse+native://`, which is
clickhouse-sqlalchemy's own connector; its Cursor.execute raises
`clickhouse_sqlalchemy.exceptions.DatabaseException`, a plain Exception
subclass carrying the driver's ServerException in `.orig`. SQLAlchemy
does not wrap a non-DBAPI exception, so `except SQLAlchemyError` never
fired on EITHER execute path, `_format_db_error` never ran, and the
caller got `Orig exception: Code: 62.\nSyntax error: failed at position
21 ('hunter2') ... Stack trace:\n\n0. DB::Exception::Exception(...)` —
raw, on both paths. The markers added in 27a04f68 were verified against
clickhouse-driver's own DBAPI layer, which this node does not use, so
they were unreachable for the node they were added for.

Both paths now handle a non-SQLAlchemy exception that carries a driver
`.orig`: log it and raise the same `SQL execution failed: <formatted>`
RuntimeError, releasing the session on the session path as before. Duck
-typed on `.orig` rather than importing clickhouse modules into the
shared base — a driver error carrying its original is precisely the shape
being handled, and the base must not depend on one node's driver.
Anything without `.orig` is re-raised untouched, so the max_execute_rows
RuntimeError keeps its wording and rollback and a programming error still
surfaces as itself.

_format_db_error also reads `.code` and `.message` off the original when
they are an int and a string: clickhouse-driver's ServerException puts
the code there rather than in args, so the numeric branch missed it and
the caller lost the code. ClickHouse now reads like pymysql —
`Error 60: Table default.widgets doesn't exist` — and the message still
runs through the stripper, so the stack trace and the `failed at
position` fragment inside it are cut.

The two existing clickhouse formatter tests are relabelled: they cover
clickhouse_driver.dbapi's shape, which this node never produces. New
tests cover the connector's real shape at the formatter and drive it
through both execute paths, asserting no stack trace, no statement
fragment, and a released session; two more assert that an exception
without `.orig` is not swallowed. All labelled as constructed shapes —
clickhouse-sqlalchemy is not installed in this engine.

* fix(ai): reject a malformed params argument instead of misreporting it

`to_sqlalchemy_text` turns `$n` into a bind by indexing `params[n - 1]`,
so a JSON object for `params` raised `KeyError: 0` and a short list an
`IndexError`, both from inside the rewriter. The sessionless path leaked
those bare; worse, on the session path the `KeyError` was caught by the
arm that maps a missing session id, so `execute` reported "unknown or
expired transaction session: <sid>" for a session that was still open and
still usable — the caller was told to abandon a live transaction because
they passed the wrong JSON type.

`execute` now validates before dispatching anything: `params` must be
absent or an array, and every `$n` the statement references must have a
value, with the offending placeholder named. tx_registry.py is untouched
— the check lives in `execute` and imports the placeholder pattern from
the module that owns it so it cannot drift from the rewriter it guards.

An empty list keeps its current meaning of "no binds", the same as
omitting `params`, because a statement carrying a literal `$n` inside a
string body relies on the rewriter leaving it alone.

* docs(nodes): document the insert-lane null rule and the clickhouse error layer

The three nodes that declare an `answers` lane now state, beside the
existing insert prose, what the code does with a value the row does not
carry: a column with a generated key or a DEFAULT is left out of the
statement so the database supplies it, rather than bound as an explicit
NULL that wou…
