What

Schema ingestion now imports the textual metadata the database already carries, so agents see the DBA's documentation: column comments → Column.description, table comments → SlayerModel.description, and — BigQuery being the headline target — the dataset description → the datasource's description. Strictly fill-if-empty: hand-written descriptions are never overwritten, on first ingest or any re-ingest (DEV-1356 additive-only doctrine, no provenance tracking).

Core

  • IntrospectedColumn (Pydantic) replaces the positional 5-tuple introspection contract; carries comment end-to-end through the SQLite probe into _columns_to_model.
  • _safe_get_table_comment — Inspector get_table_comment(), all failures → None (SQLite raises NotImplementedError; comment loss is never an ingest failure).
  • _ingest_datasource_full(...) -> DatasourceIngestOutput — the sync core now also fetches the BigQuery dataset description inside the live engine session (skipped when the datasource already has a description; resolution: explicit --schema → dialect default dataset → schema_name). Public ingest_datasource stays a back-compat models-only wrapper. Wired into the idempotent path, MCP create_datasource(auto_ingest=True), and CLI datasources create --ingest.
  • Fallback comments — the information_schema fallback gains isolated per-dialect comment SQL: MySQL COLUMN_COMMENT, Snowflake COMMENT, ClickHouse system.columns, DuckDB duckdb_columns(), Postgres col_description(). DuckDB's comments arrive only via this path (its Inspector.get_columns crashes on the pg_catalog emulation). SQL Server/BigQuery fallbacks stay types-only — their Inspector paths already deliver.
  • Merge + report_additive_merge_existing fills empty descriptions (column + model level) and reports them: ModelAddition.described_columns / model_described (created models included), IdempotentIngestResult.datasource_described; CLI prints +descriptions: … / +model description / Created: orders (12 columns, 5 described). save_datasource failures isolate as IngestionError(model_name="") without aborting the pass.
  • dbt/OSI precedence — curated importer descriptions win over DB comments at creation time; DB comments fill only gaps (OSI already had or-precedence; dbt's column overlay changed from set-if-empty to curated-wins).

BigQuery coverage (two layers)

  • Credential-free driver-contract tests run the real BigQueryDialect reflection over a locally built Table — only client.get_table (the network call) is mocked — asserting field descriptions and the table description flow into a SLayer model with correct types.
  • New live suite tests/integration/test_integration_bigquery.py, wired into the CI bigquery-example job: creates a uniquely-named temp dataset (with a description) in the billing project, tables with commented/uncommented columns incl. a RECORD field, asserts import + dataset-description fill + preservation/re-fill on re-ingest + a newly added commented column, then deletes the dataset. Skips cleanly without GCP_PROJECT_ID/ADC; fails loudly if credentials lack dataset-create rights, so the CI SA needs roles/bigquery.user (or dataEditor), not just jobUser.

Test plan

  • 65 unit tests in tests/test_ingestion_comments.py (normalization, inspector path, table comments, probe preservation, per-dialect fallback SQL shape incl. schema binding + injection guards, real-DuckDB fallback e2e, idempotent fill/preservation/no-op, dataset-resolution order, save-failure isolation, report rendering, CLI wiring, BigQuery driver contract) + dbt/OSI precedence tests + an MCP create_datasource wiring test.
  • Comment DDL + assertions in every Tier-1 integration suite (Postgres, MySQL, ClickHouse, SQL Server sp_addextendedproperty, Snowflake, DuckDB; SQLite asserts no-op). Run locally and green: DuckDB, SQLite, Postgres, MySQL, ClickHouse.
  • Full non-integration suite: 7310 passed; ruff clean.
  • Docs: docs/concepts/ingestion.md (new Comments and descriptions section + idempotent contract update), docs/database-support.md (BigQuery/SQLite notes, Tier-1 table), overview skill, DECISIONS.md entry.
  • Reviewed by Codex at plan and test stages; all findings folded in.

…gestion

Column comments -> Column.description, table comments ->
SlayerModel.description, and (BigQuery only) the dataset description ->
DatasourceConfig.description. Strictly fill-if-empty: hand-written
descriptions are never overwritten, on first ingest or re-ingest.

- Introspection contract: positional 5-tuples -> Pydantic IntrospectedColumn.
- Sync core becomes _ingest_datasource_full(...) -> DatasourceIngestOutput
  (public ingest_datasource stays a models-only wrapper), so the BigQuery
  dataset description is fetched inside the live engine session. Wired into
  the idempotent path, MCP create_datasource, and CLI datasources create
  --ingest.
- Inspector path carries comments for Postgres/MySQL/SQL Server/Snowflake/
  ClickHouse/BigQuery; the information_schema fallback gains per-dialect
  comment SQL (MySQL, Snowflake, ClickHouse, DuckDB, Postgres). DuckDB's
  comments come only via the fallback (its Inspector.get_columns crashes on
  the pg_catalog emulation). SQLite has no comments. All fetching is
  best-effort - never a failed ingest.
- Report: ModelAddition.described_columns / model_described,
  IdempotentIngestResult.datasource_described (created models included);
  save_datasource failures isolate as IngestionError(model_name="").
- dbt hidden-model import: curated descriptions win over DB comments at
  creation time; DB comments fill gaps (OSI already had or-precedence).
- Tests: unit suite incl. real-DuckDB fallback e2e and credential-free
  BigQuery driver-contract tests (real BigQueryDialect reflection, only
  client.get_table mocked); comment assertions in every Tier-1 integration
  suite; new live BigQuery integration suite (temp dataset in the billing
  project) wired into the CI bigquery-example job.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ff4c1

This PR adds database comment and description ingestion, but unresolved paths can lose metadata, overwrite a curated datasource description, fail for MariaDB, or delete models after partial introspection failures. These current-head correctness risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Close the client on unexpected dataset-creation errors.

client.close() runs only on the Forbidden path and in the teardown finally. If create_dataset raises another error (for example a transient ServiceUnavailable), the client stays open and the test session leaks the connection pool.

Avoid mutating the module-scoped fixture table.

bq_dataset has module scope. This test permanently adds a discount column to the shared orders table. Later tests in the module then observe a different schema than the fixture docstring describes. No current assertion breaks, but the suite becomes order-dependent.

Create a dedicated table inside this test instead.

♻️ Suggested isolation
-        table = client.get_table(f"{_PROJECT}.{dataset_id}.orders")
-        table.schema = list(table.schema) + [
-            bigquery.SchemaField("discount", "FLOAT", description="Discount applied"),
-        ]
-        client.update_table(table, ["schema"])
+        # Own table so the shared module-scoped `orders` schema stays stable.
+        client.create_table(bigquery.Table(
+            f"{_PROJECT}.{dataset_id}.extras",
+            schema=[bigquery.SchemaField("id", "INTEGER")],
+        ))
+        await ingest_datasource_idempotent(
+            datasource=ds, storage=storage, schema=dataset_id
+        )

144-150: 🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

Consider a sweeper for orphan test datasets.

The step is wired correctly: GCP_PROJECT_ID is injected and GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS is already in $GITHUB_ENV from line 115.

If the step reaches the 10-minute timeout or the job is cancelled, the fixture teardown does not run, and a slayer_test_<uuid> dataset stays in the billing project and accrues storage cost. Add an if: always() cleanup step that deletes leftover datasets matching that prefix.

- Line 15: Update the Ingestion entry to describe direct foreign-key joins with
multi-hop paths resolved at query time, removing the claim that ingestion
generates rollup-style denormalized LEFT JOINs. Align the wording with the join
contract in docs/concepts/ingestion.md while preserving the surrounding
ingestion behavior details.

- Around line 113-116: The MCP ingest renderer’s updated/unchanged
classification must recognize description and widening changes. Update the
classification logic in the MCP server to include described_columns,

- Around line 144-150: After the “Run BigQuery integration tests” step, add an
always-run cleanup step that uses the configured GCP credentials and project ID
to find and delete leftover BigQuery datasets whose names begin with
slayer_test_. Ensure it runs even when tests time out, fail, or are cancelled,
without changing the existing test step.

In `@slayer/engine/ingestion.py`:
- Around line 518-531: Update _safe_get_table_comment to emit a debug-level log
in its exception handler, including the table and failure details while still
returning None. At all call sites, including the locations invoking it near
lines 810, 935, and 958, pass table_name and schema as keyword arguments.
- Around line 865-978: Refactor _ingest_datasource_full to merge the duplicated
referenced-table and simple-table model construction paths: keep the
branch-specific column introspection and optional joins setup, then call
_columns_to_model once after the branch, passing joins only when applicable.
Preserve all existing introspection, descriptions, and model fields while
reducing cognitive complexity below the configured threshold.
- Around line 1087-1160: The _additive_merge_existing function currently returns
and callers unpack a six-element tuple; replace this positional return contract
with a dedicated Pydantic result model containing the existing merged model,
column/join/report fields, and model_described flag, then update every caller to
access the named fields while preserving all current values and behavior.
- Around line 819-847: The _fetch_bigquery_dataset_description function
currently accesses the private conn.connection._client handle; replace this with
the supported client-injection flow by retaining the
google.cloud.bigquery.Client during engine creation, passing it via connect_args
with user_supplied_client=True, and reusing that client for get_dataset().

In `@slayer/engine/introspect_utils.py`:
- Around line 202-205: Update _get_columns_fallback to reuse its existing open
connection when retrieving comments, rather than opening a second connection
through _get_column_comments_fallback; pass the connection and other
multi-parameter arguments by keyword, while preserving the current comment
assignment and result behavior.

In `@tests/integration/test_integration_bigquery.py`:
- Around line 45-59: Ensure the dataset-creation flow around
client.create_dataset closes the BigQuery client for unexpected exceptions as
well as Forbidden, while preserving the existing failure and teardown behavior.
Update the try/except structure so client.close() is guaranteed before
propagating or failing on non-Forbidden errors.
- Around line 209-234: Create a dedicated BigQuery table within
test_new_commented_column_arrives_with_description instead of modifying the
module-scoped bq_dataset orders table. Update the ingestion setup and subsequent
assertions to target the dedicated extras table, including model_name, column
lookup, and loaded-model retrieval, while preserving the discount description
checks.

In `@tests/test_osi_converter.py`:
- Around line 121-147: Move the slayer.osi.converter import used by
test_db_comments_fill_gaps_curated_wins to the module-level import section, and
remove the duplicate local import from the test body.

Do not treat an individually failed introspection as a deleted table.

If one object fails at Line 1700 while another succeeds, out omits only the failed object. _collect_sql_table_diffs then resolves that model to None and creates a WholeModelDelete. --force-clean can delete a valid model after a transient metadata failure. Return failed object names and skip their diffs, or suppress the entire drift verdict when any object cannot be introspected.

Run the comment fallback after incomplete reflection.

_get_column_comments_fallback runs only inside _get_columns_fallback, but _safe_get_columns calls that path only when Inspector.get_columns() raises. If a dialect returns columns but omits comment, supported fallback queries never run and descriptions are lost. Merge fallback comments into successfully reflected rows that have no normalized comment.

Only persist the datasource description after the copy succeeds.

ds is reassigned inside the try block. If save_datasource raises, the in-memory ds still carries the imported description while storage does not. The remaining code uses ds.name only, so there is no current defect, but a later read of ds.description in this function would see an unpersisted value.

Make the datasource description fill atomic.

A concurrent writer can save a curated description after Line 2089 and before Line 2091. This save then overwrites that description with the imported dataset text. Add a storage-level compare-and-set or serialized fill_description_if_empty operation.

Based on learnings: “existing metadata is never overwritten.”

Ensure it updates the datasource only when the persisted description is still
empty, preserving any concurrent curated description and the existing “metadata
is never overwritten” behavior.

@coderabbitai Partially addressed: the save now re-loads the stored datasource immediately before the fill-if-empty check and copies onto that freshly-loaded object (see the stored = await storage.get_datasource(...) guard), so a stale caller config can no longer clobber a persisted description; only the microsecond window between that read and the save remains. A fully atomic conditional write needs a compare-and-swap primitive on StorageBackend (YAML file locking + SQLite conditional UPDATE), which is a storage-API change out of scope for this ingestion PR — the ingest is a one-shot admin operation, so we accept the residual window for now.

@ZmeiGorynych, thanks for the clarification.

The reload protects against stale caller state. The read-then-save sequence still cannot protect a concurrent curated update after the reload.

I agree that an atomic conditional update requires a StorageBackend API change and backend-specific implementation. Since that work is out of scope for this PR, I will keep this finding open as a deferred concurrency risk.

Would you like me to create a follow-up GitHub issue for an atomic fill_description_if_empty operation?

Learning: In `slayer/engine/ingestion.py`, datasource-description ingestion reloads the persisted `DatasourceConfig` before `StorageBackend.save_datasource(...)` to avoid overwriting descriptions from stale caller state. A fully atomic fill-if-empty operation requires a `StorageBackend` compare-and-set or serialized update that supports both YAML and SQLite backends; this storage API work is out of scope for PR `#317`.

Codex review: with no explicit schema, a same-named table in another
schema could cross-assign its comments. Each dialect's fallback query now
scopes to the connection's current schema (DATABASE() / CURRENT_SCHEMA() /
current_schema() / pg_table_is_visible; ClickHouse already used
currentDatabase()).

- A datasource-only description import is no longer swallowed by the
  'already in sync' early return (CodeRabbit); rendered + unit-tested.
- Extract _addition_update_details and simplify the new-columns append
  to bring _render_updated_section and _additive_merge_existing under
  the S3776 cognitive-complexity limit.
