# phoenix-sqlean
Vendored fork of [nalgeon/sqlean.py](https://github.com/nalgeon/sqlean.py).
## Bumping a bundled version
Pins live in `packages/phoenix-sqlean/Makefile`. Each has a partner that must move with it:
| Pin | Moves with |
|---|---|
| `SQLITE_VERSION` | `SQLITE_RELEASE_YEAR` (the URL embeds both, so a mismatch 404s) and `SQLITE_SHA256` |
| `SQLEAN_COMMIT` | `SQLEAN_VERSION` in the `Makefile` *and* in `setup.py` — the commit is what gets fetched, the strings only describe it |
| `SQLEAN_VERSION` | `setup.py`'s copy, compiled in as what `sqlean_version()` returns. Suffix `+<short sha>` iff `SQLEAN_COMMIT` sits ahead of the named tag |
| `XXHASH_TAG` | `XXHASH_COMMIT` + `XXHASH_SHA256`, and the tag sqlean's own `Makefile` fetches |
`check-sqlean-pin`, a prerequisite of `download-sqlean`, enforces the `SQLEAN_*` rows for one
`ls-remote`: suffix prefixes the commit, base is a real tag, suffix present iff ahead, `setup.py`
agrees. It cannot tell you the base names the *wrong* release — the single-commit fetch carries no
ancestry. `SQLITE_*` and `XXHASH_*` get no equivalent cross-check — only their hashes, at fetch.
sqlean is fetched over git by commit: GitHub's source archives are generated on demand and not
byte-stable, so they cannot be checksum-pinned, while git hashes every object it receives. Hence
`download-sqlean` needs `git` on PATH and no checksum. The other two arrive over plain HTTP, where
curl verifies nothing — `XXHASH_COMMIT` fixes which bytes are correct and `XXHASH_SHA256` proves
they are those. `src/test_windirent.h` needs neither; it is committed to this repo.
### With the script
`scripts/check-upstream.sh` resolves and rewrites every pin, hashes included:
```bash
cd packages/phoenix-sqlean
./scripts/check-upstream.sh sqlite # detection only, no downloads
./scripts/check-upstream.sh sqlite --apply # rewrite pins, print a Markdown summary
./scripts/check-upstream.sh sqlean [--apply] # also moves XXHASH_* if sqlean moved its own
```
### By hand
Resolve a tag to a commit with `git ls-remote <repo> 'refs/tags/<version>*'`, taking the peeled
`^{}` line when the tag is annotated. sqlean also carries a non-version tag (`incubator`), so
filter by shape before picking a latest.
For `SQLITE_SHA256`, confirm the download against the SHA3-256 in the `PRODUCT` line on
<https://sqlite.org/download.html> *before* recording the SHA-256 (`shasum` cannot do SHA3).
Skipping that makes the pin trust-on-first-use.
### Verify
```bash
cd packages/phoenix-sqlean
make prepare-src download-sqlite download-sqlean # always the full chain: download-sqlean
# APPENDS init.c, so alone it double-appends
python setup.py build_ext -i
python -m tests
```
## Staying current
Dependabot cannot see these pins — no custom-regex manager — and there is no Renovate here.
`phoenix-sqlean-upstream.yml` fills the gap: weekly, one draft PR per component, running
`check-upstream.sh --apply`, no model involved.
**It builds and tests nothing.** CI covers that on the PR; verifying inside the bump job would
re-run a subset of it, on the one platform where the likeliest failure — `patch(1)` on the MSVC
patch — cannot reproduce.
A failure of the script itself is different: upstream changed shape, so it exits before writing and
the job goes red with no PR, because there is no computed bump to review.
`XXHASH_*` is deliberately unwatched. sqlean drives it, and `download-sqlean` already fails when
sqlean moves its own pin.
## Gotchas
- **`src/test_windirent.h` is pinned at 3.50.4 — do not re-sync it.** SQLite removed it in 3.51.0
and no newer tag has it. Vendored deliberately, not downloaded.
- **sqlean >= 0.28 needs `crypto/xxhash.impl.h`, which sqlean does not ship.** Any new third-party
source needs a `THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES` section *and* its SPDX identifier in `license=`.
- **`patch(1)` failing on `src/sqlean-time-msvc.patch` is the intended tripwire**, not a breakage.
Regenerate it against the new sqlean sources.
- **"sqlean fetches xxHash X, but XXHASH_TAG is Y" is the other one.** Move all three `XXHASH_*`
pins, and the version named in `THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES`.
- **The `sqlean_version()` test is a tautology on its own** — it compares the compiled macro to
`setup.py`'s own constant, proving only that the binary is not stale. `check-sqlean-pin` is what
ties that constant back to `SQLEAN_COMMIT`.
- **Changing `SQLEAN_VERSION` alone does not trigger a recompile.** It only moves a `-D` flag, and
`build_ext` keys on source mtime. `touch src/sqlean.c` after editing, or the version test fails
against a merely stale build.
- **Keep the package version plain SemVer.** release-please's version regex is unanchored, so
`1.2.3.1` and `1.2.3.post1` truncate to `1.2.3` and collide with an existing tag, silently.
For the same reason `VERSION` must stay above `SQLEAN_VERSION` in `setup.py`. The package version
is intentionally independent of the bundled SQLite version.
## Wheels and publishing
- Settings are in `cibuildwheel.toml`; runners and steps are in `phoenix-sqlean-build.yml`, a
`workflow_call` workflow that `build-sqlean` in `publish.yaml` and CI's `wheels` job both invoke
with no overrides. A PR runs the exact build a release runs — keep it that way rather than
narrowing CI's copy.
- The wheel matrix is every CPython `python_requires` admits × the toml's `build` platforms ×
the build workflow's runners, minus the toml's `skip`, plus an sdist of the C sources. Read it
there rather than restating it.
- **Every wheel is tested by cibuildwheel, which needs one runner per Linux/Windows arch.** Those
archs are `native`; cibuildwheel skips testing a cross-compiled `win_arm64`, and `auto` on
Windows AMD64 adds 32-bit x86. macOS builds both arches on one arm64 runner and tests x86_64
under Rosetta. Free-threaded builds are excluded by the toml's `skip`; cibuildwheel would
otherwise build them by default.
- **`scripts/check-wheelhouse.py` gates the merged set** in the build workflow's `check` job, so
both CI and publish run it: exactly one wheel per CPython that `python_requires` admits on each
of its `PLATFORMS`, plus one sdist. Adding or dropping a platform means editing `PLATFORMS`
alongside the runners and `archs`.
- **The supported Python range is `python_requires` in `setup.py`, and nothing else.**
cibuildwheel reads it to pick CPythons, and the wheelhouse check expects exactly its versions.
It must stay a string literal keyword in the `setuptools.setup(...)` call under
`if __name__ == "__main__"` — cibuildwheel parses that statically, and silently builds every
CPython it knows if it cannot find one (the wheelhouse check would then fail).
- **Admitting a new CPython can fail two ways, both loudly.** cibuildwheel may still gate it as a
prerelease, so its wheels are missing and the wheelhouse check fails — bump cibuildwheel. Or it
may have removed private C API the driver uses, which fails that version's wheel builds.
- **Source preparation is the build workflow's first job**, on Ubuntu because Windows runners lack
make/curl/unzip. Its `ref` input selects what to build: CI leaves it empty (the PR's commit),
publish passes the release tag. Callers pass nothing else.
- **`test-sources` resolves against cibuildwheel's working directory, not `package-dir`** — hence
the build legs unpack the sources at the workspace root.
- Publishing is gated on the tag `arize-phoenix-sqlean-v<manifest version>`. Until release-please
creates it, `sqlean-release` skips and nothing builds.
- **sqlean publishes until PyPI holds every distribution, not just the version.** The generic
"version on PyPI" gate in `list-python-packages` skips sqlean; `sqlean-release` runs on every
release and runs `check-wheelhouse.py --missing-only` on PyPI's file list for that version. A
release interrupted mid-upload is finished by re-running publish, which rebuilds from the tag and
uploads with `skip-existing`.
- **`check-wheelhouse.py` always comes from the commit running the workflow; `python_requires`
comes from the sources being built.** `PLATFORMS` must match the runners, which also come from
that commit, and older release tags predate the script.
- PyPI uses trusted publishing with **no** GitHub environment; the publisher's Environment field
must stay blank to match.
