feat(DEV-1809): import column/table/dataset comments during schema ingestion - #317
Conversation
…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.

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.”

@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()).

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'sdescription. 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; carriescommentend-to-end through the SQLite probe into_columns_to_model._safe_get_table_comment— Inspectorget_table_comment(), all failures →None(SQLite raisesNotImplementedError; 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). Publicingest_datasourcestays a back-compat models-only wrapper. Wired into the idempotent path, MCPcreate_datasource(auto_ingest=True), and CLIdatasources create --ingest.information_schemafallback gains isolated per-dialect comment SQL: MySQLCOLUMN_COMMENT, SnowflakeCOMMENT, ClickHousesystem.columns, DuckDBduckdb_columns(), Postgrescol_description().
