fix(dbt-tools): say when schema-verify's verdict rests on a stale manifest - #1704
Closes#1367 (follow-ups from the review of #1368).
Type of change
Bug fix
What does this PR do?
For when the dbt project check fails and dbt-tools answers from the manifest of the last successful parse:
The schema-verify validator says so. Its message to the agent leads with that note; only the parse time comes from the answer, quoted through sanitizeForPrompt.
USAGE gives the stale shape of children and parents: { stale_manifest, models } instead of a list.
The lineage check reads the started adapter when there is one, so a dbt-integration that defines getModelLineage as an instance field isn't mistaken for one without it.
It also takes @altimateai/dbt-integration 0.3.18, which compares a stale manifest's nodes with the project that wrote them, so children and parents answered from the last successful parse no longer mark every node as an external project.
Claims:
C1: When the validator fails and any answer carries stale_manifest, fixHint opens with the note. When none does, reason and fixHint are as on main.
C2: Of stale_manifest, only written_at reaches the message, flattened and quoted.
C3: dbtAdapterHasLineage() starts nothing, and is true for a started adapter whose getModelLineage is an own property.
R1: before any adapter starts, an instance-field getModelLineage goes unseen: only the prototype can be read.
How did you verify your code works?
Each change has a test that fails on main. On this head, locally: bun turbo typecheck 13/13; dbt-tools 206 pass, 0 fail; opencode validators, dbt lineage and sql-query-deadline 850 pass, 0 fail. Tracker-leak check clean. bun.lock resolves ^0.3.18 to 0.3.18, and a fresh checkout installs with --frozen-lockfile under the 3-day minimum release age.
Cost side effects
None.
Checklist
I have tested my changes locally
I have not included unrelated changes in this PR
I checked for cost side effects (model calls, queries or cloud resources that grow with user data) and described them, or wrote "none"
Complexity delta (touched functions): cognitive unchanged; dbtAdapterHasLineage CCN 3 → 5; one new helper, cognitive 2.
Lineage support is detected against the active dbt integration, including integrations that expose support at runtime.
Clarity
Help for the children and parents commands explains when results may include stale-manifest data from the last successful parse.
Schema verification results flag when they use the last successful parse’s manifest and include its timestamp when available. Results using the current manifest remain unchanged.
The lineage capability check now accepts an optional adapter instance, and connection registration passes the cached adapter when available. Command descriptions document stale-manifest results. Schema-verification guidance includes a stale-manifest notice and, when available, a sanitized timestamp.
hasModelLineage accepts an optional adapter and checks its instance when supplied. The dbt integration dependency range changes to ^0.3.18. Tests cover instance-level and absent getModelLineage methods.
Active adapter wiring packages/opencode/src/altimate/native/connections/register.ts, packages/opencode/test/altimate/dbt-lineage-adapter.test.ts
The lineage check passes the cached adapter, or undefined, to the test hook and implementation. A test covers the check before and after adapter startup.
Stale-manifest reporting
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Stale-manifest result contract packages/dbt-tools/src/index.ts, packages/dbt-tools/test/cli.test.ts, packages/opencode/src/altimate/validators/dbt-schema-verify.ts
The children and parents descriptions document the stale-manifest result shape. Schema-verification results accept optional stale-manifest metadata.
Failure guidance includes a stale-manifest notice when metadata is present. A string timestamp is sanitized and limited to 40 characters. Tests cover stale and current manifests, mismatch details, command hints, and timestamp formatting.
AltimateAI/altimate-code#1368 — Both PRs update the dbt integration dependency line, and this PR’s lineage check uses the adapter surface established by that upgrade.
The change makes dbt lineage detection and schema-verify stale-manifest messaging behave as described. No merge-blocking risk remains; the remaining note is test-fixture style.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title names the main change: schema-verify messages now state when the verdict rests on a stale manifest. The changeset adds a stale-manifest note to the schema-verify validator output, which matches the title. The title is specific and scoped to the dbt-tools fix, though the PR also updates USAGE text and the lineage check, which the title does not mention. That is acceptable because the title covers the primary change.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
The only linked issue, #1367, is closed and completed. It supplies historical context only, so no active directly linked target applies. No coding requirements from #1367 apply to this PR. The PR description names the work as follow-ups from review of #1368, and the stale-manifest and lineage changes address that stated scope.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes match the PR description's claims C1 to C3. They cover: the stale-manifest note in the dbt-schema-verify validator (dbt-schema-verify.ts), with tests in dbt-schema-verify-stale.test.ts; the stale-shape USAGE text for children and parents (dbt-tools index.ts, cli.test.ts); and the started-adapter lineage check (dbt-tools adapter.ts, register.ts, stale-manifest.test.ts, dbt-lineage-adapter.test.ts). The dbt-integration bump from ^0.3.17 to ^0.3.18 in dbt-tools package.json is related to the stale-manifest behavior, per the final commit message. The PR description says the next dbt-integration bump will join later, so the bump's presence here differs from that description. This is a documentation discrepancy, not an unrelated code change. No unrelated change was found in the summary.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template. It states the issue (follow-up to #1368, linked as #1367), the type of change (bug fix), and what the PR does. It explains each change and gives the claims and a known residual limitation (R1). It records local verification and includes the cost side-effects section, which says "None." The checklist is completed. Two template items are weaker. The issue reference is to a closed issue and the "Closes" wording is loose. The Screenshots section is absent, though it applies only to UI changes and this PR has none. The description uses terms like "claims C1–C3" that depend on the author's review context. It also contains a generated-by-tool footer, which the template's warning about large AI-generated descriptions may cover. The substance is complete enough to review.

Since the last clean round (7225c1c060), one commit changed: b87e3b650b passes the started adapter to the dbtAdapterInternals.hasModelLineage test seam too, and rewrites one test to assert which adapter the check is asked about.

The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
SUGGESTION: The note can contradict the hint it now leads
The note says the spec may not match schema.yml as it is now, but the mismatch branch of the hint it prefixes still reads "Fix the model SQL to match the schema.yml spec (do not edit the spec), rebuild, and the harness will re-check". On a stale manifest an agent that follows that literally can remove a column the current schema.yml still requires; the post-rebuild re-check then runs against a fresh manifest and reports the opposite mismatch, so the session churns and may settle on the wrong column shape.
Consider giving the stale branch its own remediation — make the project check (re-parse) succeed first, then re-check — and keep the plain "match the spec" wording for a current manifest. The note itself is fine; it is the instruction under it that still assumes the spec is trustworthy.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Not a break this PR introduces, so no change here. On main the same failure gives the same instruction ("Fix the model SQL to match the schema.yml spec…") with nothing to say the spec might be old. This PR only adds that warning above it. Telling the agent to do something different on a stale manifest, such as getting the project to parse first, would be a separate behaviour change, so I'm leaving it out of this follow-up.
`\n\nFix the model SQL to match the schema.yml spec (do not edit the spec), rebuild, and the harness will re-check before declaring done.`
: `Run \`altimate-dbt schema-verify <model>\` manually to diagnose the error. Check that altimate-dbt is on PATH and that the dbt project compiles cleanly.`,
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
SUGGESTION: The stale verdict stays invisible to telemetry
details carries counts only, so the validator_check event cannot show how often this gate blocks on a manifest it has just told the agent not to trust. The sibling gate records its equivalent (stale_build in dbt-build-green.ts:483), so adding e.g. stale_manifest: results.some((r) => r.stale_manifest) beside errored / spawn_failures would keep this measurable without changing the agent-facing message.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
No change here: this is measurement, not a break. Also, stale_build in dbt-build-green is a different signal: models edited after their last build, not a stale manifest. A stale_manifest flag in details can come with a later change if we want to count these.
The new stale-manifest note leads a mismatch hint that still says "fix the model SQL to match the schema.yml spec", so an agent can edit a correct model to match a spec the note just called unreliable. The stale case should ask for a passing parse first.
The stale condition is not recorded in details, so validator_check telemetry cannot show how often the gate blocks on a stale manifest (the sibling dbt-build-green gate records stale_build).
Verified claims
C1 holds: leadWithStaleManifestNote runs only on the failing return, and returns the hint unchanged when no result carries stale_manifest. The ok: true paths are untouched.
C2 holds: only written_at from the answer reaches the message, string-checked, flattened by sanitizeForPrompt and quoted in guillemets. The answer's own message is ignored, so its prose cannot reach instruction position.
C3 holds: dbtAdapterHasLineage awaits no creation; dbtAdapter ?? undefined falls back to the prototype when no adapter is cached, and an own-property getModelLineage on the started adapter is now found. The dbt-lineage.ts:265 post-start guard is unchanged, so the pre-check remains an optimisation only.
R1 is as disclosed: before any adapter has started, an instance-field getModelLineage is still unseen.
Other checks (no findings)
sanitizeForPrompt flattens newlines/control characters and strips «», so the injected parse time cannot break out of its sentence.
hasModelLineage(adapter?) stays source-compatible for the two existing callers and both test seams; a throwing instance getter would be caught by the surrounding try.
The children / parents shape change needed no other consumer updates: no opencode code or bundled skill parses those answers, and graph.ts / failure-text.ts already handle the object answer.
New tests use the same PATH swap-and-restore pattern as onboarding/tool-detection.test.ts and the real-dbt E2E files, and the rewritten lineage test now avoids the shared mock.module leak; no new global mock or dispatcher state is left behind.
Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Use the tmpdir() fixture for this new test file.
This file uses a module-level os.tmpdir() with beforeAll and afterAll. The retrieved learning requires new test files in packages/opencode/test/altimate/ to import tmpdir from fixture/fixture.ts and use await using tmp = await tmpdir() per test.
The test also mutates process.env.PATH globally. Other test files in the same process can see that change while these tests run. Scope the stub directory to each test and restore PATH in the same scope.

On CodeRabbit's additional comment (dbt-schema-verify-stale.test.ts 29–54, marked unverified): no change, since it's not a break.
Temp dirs: the file follows the validator tests' own practice. Thirty files in test/altimate/validators use fs.mkdtemp, and none uses the tmpdir() fixture.
PATH: it's set in beforeAll and restored in afterAll, the same way the seven e2e-real-dbt* files do. bun runs test files one after another, so no other file runs while it's changed. The test passed in CI's single-process run on this head.
@codex review against the numbered claims and the disclosed residuals in this PR's description: report only a reproducible trace that violates a numbered claim (C1–C3). Instances of the disclosed residual (R1) are not findings. A round with no claim violation ends review. Since the last round, aa91d1c only moves packages/dbt-tools to @altimateai/dbt-integration ^0.3.18 (package.json and bun.lock).
Use the required per-test temporary-directory fixture.
This new file creates one temporary directory for all tests. Import tmpdir from ../../../fixture/fixture and use await using tmp = await tmpdir() for each test. Put the project, executable, and answer file inside that fixture.
Based on learnings, new files under packages/opencode/test/altimate/ must use tmpdir() with “per-test scoping,” rather than the legacy os.tmpdir() setup. As per coding guidelines, “Use await using for automatic cleanup when the variable goes out of scope.”

CodeRabbit's nitpick on packages/opencode/test/altimate/validators/dbt-schema-verify-stale.test.ts (the shared temp dir, and moving to the tmpdir() fixture) is the same one answered in #1704 (comment). It's declined for the same reasons: the file follows the other validator tests' setup, and bun runs it sequentially. This push (aa91d1c) doesn't touch that file; it only moves packages/dbt-tools to @altimateai/dbt-integration ^0.3.18 (package.json, bun.lock).
