Removes all export database audit/recovery writes and read-time initialization. Adds package-owned exact Dolt2.2.2/2.2.3 write policy without user declaration files; unknown versions stay blocked. Selects optional database I/O policy from exact spec v0.5.0. Includes live SELECT-only SAV/ZSAV roundtrips/failure checks, supported default write service evidence, read-only review fixes and built-wheel smoke. Breaking: export result no longer has operation_id. Existing non-export write audits remain.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Released version 0.8.0 with SAV/ZSAV 1.0 support and updated specification metadata.
    • Exports and read-only operations no longer modify databases or create audit records; diagnostics are returned directly.
    • Added support for default Dolt writes on versions 2.2.2 and 2.2.3.
    • Added safeguards preventing missing SQLite databases from being created during reads.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved Dolt transaction handling, rollback behavior, and cleanup after failed operations.
    • Added validation for unsupported Dolt versions and invalid database URLs.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The 0.8.0 release updates specification metadata, separates read and write capability profiles, enables exact-version Dolt writes, makes reads and exports database-read-only, rejects missing SQLite files, and expands CI and service validation.

Changes

Release and database policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release contract and smoke workflows
.github/workflows/*, CHANGELOG.md, README.md, docs/*, pyproject.toml
The release selects specification v0.5.0, documents the 0.8.0 database I/O policy, pins Dolt writes to 2.2.2 and 2.2.3, and runs wheel and read-only CI checks.
Capability profiles and existing-database validation
src/openstatspec/api.py, src/openstatspec/sql/capabilities.py, src/openstatspec/sql/database_urls.py, src/openstatspec/sql/catalog_api.py, src/openstatspec/sql/workflow.py, tests/test_cli.py, tests/test_dolt_conformance.py, tests/test_sql_profiles.py
Read and write profiles now use separate Dolt rules. Missing SQLite files are rejected before read operations. Capability metadata reports the new adapter, policy, and specification values.
Read-only export and validation
src/openstatspec/spss/sav.py, src/openstatspec/sql/wide.py, tests/test_read_only_export.py, tests/test_loss_reports.py, tests/test_strict_catalog_review.py
SAV/ZSAV export no longer records database audit operations or returns an operation ID. Read and export tests verify unchanged database state and failure recovery.
Dolt writes and transaction boundaries
src/openstatspec/sql/inplace_transform.py, src/openstatspec/sql/wide.py, tests/test_sql_services.py, tests/test_review_transaction_boundary.py, tests/test_sql_profiles.py
Dolt mutations now start explicit transactions, classify owned table additions correctly, and validate import cleanup, atomicity, state preservation, and supported service versions.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 64310

Read-only derived validation can fail, and failed Dolt transformations can leave partially compensated state. These issues should be fixed before releasing 0.8.0.

P1 Badge Use a genuinely read-only engine for derived validation

validate_derived_dataset() still creates its connection through _workflow_engine(), whose SQLAlchemy begin listener executes BEGIN IMMEDIATE. The first validation query therefore requests a SQLite write reservation; when callers enforce read-only access with PRAGMA query_only = ON, validation fails with attempt to write a readonly database, contradicting the new read-only validation contract. Use an engine/transaction path that does not install the BEGIN IMMEDIATE hook for this operation.

Start a transaction explicitly in Dolt compensation.

When Dolt retains @@autocommit=1, _compensate_failed_apply can commit catalog deletes and ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN independently because engine.begin() does not issue the explicit BEGIN used by the apply path. Dolt uses SQLAlchemy's mysql dialect, so add the same safeguard:

♻️ Proposed change in `_compensate_failed_apply`
    with engine.begin() as connection:
        if connection.dialect.name in {"mysql", "mariadb"}:
            # Dolt may retain @@autocommit=1 despite PyMySQL's setting.
            connection.exec_driver_sql("BEGIN")

Export is database-read-only: no operation, fidelity, recovery, or Dolt-history records are written, even on failure. Loss diagnostics are returned to the caller. Dolt export identifies the server and validates the catalog and data without requiring write-conformance declarations; write entry points retain that requirement.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clarify the Dolt version scope.

docs/sav-profile.md still presents >=2.2.2,<2.3.0 as the core Dolt profile, while the README and release contract support writes only on 2.2.2 and 2.2.3. State that read-only validation and export do not use the write-version gate, including for versions rejected for writes. This document is linked as current feature-boundary guidance, so the ambiguity can lead users to attempt unsupported writes such as 2.2.4.

Use a read-only engine for derived validation

validate_derived_dataset uses _workflow_engine, whose begin listener executes BEGIN IMMEDIATE on the first SQL statement. This acquires a SQLite write lock for the validation transaction and fails for query_only and mode=ro connections. Keep the SQLite dialect gate, but create the engine without the workflow transaction listener.
