Issue for this PR

Closes #1174

Type of change

  • New feature
  • Bug fix

What does this PR do?

Adds five deterministic completion-gate validators to the existing ALTIMATE_VALIDATORS_ENABLED lane, and closes a structural blind spot in that lane. Every check is answer-free — it asserts structure, invariants, or the task's own literal contract, never a known-correct output — so the gates work on unseen tasks.

Closes the zero-write blind spot. Both pre-existing validators key on "did the session modify models", so a session that authored nothing passed every gate by default. dbt-nothing-built is an inverse gate: in a dbt project, with no session-authored files and no fresh successful run artifact, the session is not done. It is deliberately conservative — appliesTo returns false unless a task document literally names required deliverables, or ALTIMATE_VALIDATORS_REQUIRE_ARTIFACTS=1 is set — so genuinely read-only/analysis sessions are unaffected.

New validators

Validator Catches
dbt-nothing-built Declared done without producing any deliverable
dbt-build-green Edited-but-never-built; artifact predating the session; fresh artifact where the model errored, is missing, or was edited after the build
dbt-deliverable-names Required model/relation names not produced; self-chosen substitutes. Diffs literal names against filesystem inventory ∪ manifest names/aliases
dbt-incremental-config merge/delete+insert without unique_key; missing is_incremental() guard where the task literally requires idempotency; non-deterministic calls inside the guard predicate
dbt-dialect-guard Unguarded warehouse-specific functions, only in projects that already use target.type guards (or opt-in via env)

Conservative by construction. No fuzzy matching anywhere — required names come from three literal tiers only. No discoverable source of required names means a silent skip, never a false failure. dbt_project.yml-inherited config is intentionally not resolved rather than guessed. Non-determinism outside an is_incremental() predicate is advisory detail, never blocking. Out-of-scope build failures are telemetry, not a block. Per the lane's existing contract, a validator that throws soft-passes, so a buggy check cannot brick a session.

Also adds docs/internal/deterministic-checks-engine-split.md, assessing two further candidate checks that need real SQL parsing rather than filesystem/regex analysis, and where each belongs relative to the engine's existing capabilities.

How did you verify your code works?

  • 103 new tests across 5 files, all passing. bun test test/altimate/validators/ → 532 pass, 132 skip, 0 fail.
  • Full suite: bun test test/session/ test/altimate/ → 5039 pass, 649 skip, 2 fail. Both failures are pre-existing and were confirmed by re-running them on a detached origin/main checkout: a 5s timeout in test/session/prompt.test.ts and a PostgreSQL driver E2E that requires a local database.
  • bun run typecheck clean; marker guard (--markers --base main --strict) clean.

Not verified, stated plainly:

  • These validators have not been exercised against a real dbt project end-to-end — only against synthetic fixtures. They are off by default (the lane requires ALTIMATE_VALIDATORS_ENABLED=1), and ALTIMATE_VALIDATORS_SHADOW=1 is the recommended first deployment: it runs every check and emits telemetry without enforcing, which is the right way to measure false-positive rate before anyone gates on them.
  • The lane's dispatch hook is still skipped when a step ends in compaction, so in compaction-heavy sessions these gates fire rarely. That is pre-existing behavior, out of scope here, and noted in the engine-split document.
  • No measurement of pass-rate impact is claimed. These are correctness gates; whether they improve end-to-end outcomes is a separate question requiring an A/B.

Repo note: script/upstream/analyze.ts fails out of the box in a fresh worktree with Cannot find package 'minimatch' (no longer a transitive dep since glob@13). Worked around transiently to run the marker check; worth fixing separately.

Screenshots / recordings

N/A — no user-visible surface; these run inside the completion-gate lane.

Checklist

  • Tests added for new behavior
  • Typecheck passes
  • Marker guard passes
  • No changes to default behavior (lane remains opt-in via env)

Note

Medium Risk
New completion gates can block agent sessions when ALTIMATE_VALIDATORS_ENABLED=1, though conservative appliesTo logic and opt-in/shadow deployment limit blast radius; false positives on regex lints or task parsing remain the main operational risk.

Overview
Adds five opt-in completion validators to the altimate dbt lane (registered before existing schema/test checks) so agents cannot declare done on empty work, stale builds, wrong names, or obvious config/portability mistakes.

dbt-nothing-built closes the zero-write hole: when a task document literally names deliverables (or ALTIMATE_VALIDATORS_REQUIRE_ARTIFACTS=1), it fails sessions with no authored project files and no fresh successful run_results.json. dbt-build-green requires a session-fresh artifact covering every edited model (missing/stale artifact, failures, not-built, post-build edits); out-of-scope failures are telemetry only. dbt-deliverable-names compares literal task names to filesystem ∪ manifest names/aliases. dbt-incremental-config and dbt-dialect-guard grep session-touched models for contradictory incremental config and unguarded warehouse-specific functions (dialect guard only when the project already uses target.type guards or env opt-in).

validator-utils.ts gains conservative helpers: task file discovery, three-tier extractRequiredDeliverables, run_results / target-path resolution, node inventory, and stripSqlComments. docs/internal/deterministic-checks-engine-split.md records that unguarded division can use existing engine lint L032 on compiled SQL, while in-query filter consistency still needs an engine rule.

~100+ new bun tests cover validators, helpers, and pinned registration order.

Summary by cubic

Closes #1174 by adding five deterministic completion gates to the altimate validator lane and closing its zero-write blind spot: previously the checks keyed on which models the session edited, so a session that wrote nothing passed every gate by default. The gates can now block sessions that declare done with nothing built, stale builds, missing deliverable names, contradictory incremental configs, or unguarded dialect-specific SQL — all answer-free, off by default, and conservative enough to skip rather than fail when evidence is ambiguous.

The gates

  • dbt-nothing-built blocks completion when the session wrote no project files and no fresh successful artifact exists, only when the task literally names required deliverables or ALTIMATE_VALIDATORS_REQUIRE_ARTIFACTS=1 is set.
  • dbt-build-green blocks when edited models aren't covered by a fresh successful build — no artifact, one predating the session, or one where the model errored, is missing, or was edited after the build.
  • dbt-deliverable-names diffs deliverable names stated literally in the task against the project's model, seed, and snapshot names; dbt-incremental-config flags merge/delete+insert without unique_key and missing idempotency guards; dbt-dialect-guard flags unguarded warehouse-specific functions in projects that already use target.type guards.
  • Ambiguous evidence always skips rather than fails — no fuzzy name matching, inherited config is not guessed, and a throwing validator soft-passes per lane contract.

Rollout and verification

  • All gates are off by default; run ALTIMATE_VALIDATORS_SHADOW=1 first to collect telemetry and measure the false-positive rate before enforcing.
  • Not yet exercised against a real dbt project, only synthetic fixtures; 103 new tests pass and the two full-suite failures reproduce on a detached origin/main checkout.
  • The lane's dispatch hook is still skipped when a step ends in compaction, so gates fire rarely there; pre-existing behavior assessed in the new docs/internal/deterministic-checks-engine-split.md, which scopes two future parse-level checks against the engine.
  • script/upstream/analyze.ts fails out of the box on a fresh worktree (Cannot find package 'minimatch'); pre-existing, needs a separate fix.

Written for commit 39781d8. Summary will update on new commits.

Both existing validators start from `modelsModifiedSince(sessionStartMs)`,
so a session that wrote nothing has an empty work list and passes every gate
trivially. Evaluation traces show empty-workspace-plus-confident-summary is a
dominant lost-session end state, so the lane needs an inverse gate.

`dbt-nothing-built` refuses to terminate when the workspace is a dbt project,
the session authored no project files, and no fresh successful
`run_results.json` exists.

Read-only/analysis sessions stay unaffected: `appliesTo` requires positive
evidence that artifacts were demanded — a task/instruction document that
literally names required models or files, or the explicit
`ALTIMATE_VALIDATORS_REQUIRE_ARTIFACTS=1` opt-in. Absent both, the validator
never inspects the session.

Shared helpers added to `validator-utils.ts`:
- `findTaskInstructionFile` — closed candidate list, `README.md` excluded
- `extractRequiredDeliverables` — three literal tiers (declaration marker,
  deliverables section, requirement lines); no fuzzy matching, returns null
  on an unknown contract
- `resolveDbtTargetPath` / `readRunResults` / `isFailedRunStatus`
- `collectProducedNodeNames` — union of fs inventory and manifest aliases
- `stripSqlComments`

38 tests covering extraction tiers, task-file discovery, artifact parsing and
every appliesTo/check branch.

`dbt-build-green` refuses to terminate a session unless a fresh successful
build artifact covers the models it edited. Catches three end-states seen in
evaluation traces as "declared done, nothing usable on disk": models edited
with no artifact at all, an artifact that predates the session, and a fresh
artifact in which the edited models errored, are missing, or predate the last
edit.

Filesystem-only — `<target>/run_results.json` plus model mtimes. No subprocess,
no warehouse, no knowledge of the expected output.

False-positive guards:
- edited nothing and no fresh artifact -> `nothing-to-gate` pass; that case
  belongs to `dbt-nothing-built`, which only fires when the task demanded
  artifacts
- failures on nodes the session did not touch are recorded in telemetry but
  never block, so a pre-existing broken model elsewhere cannot trap the loop
- when the fresh artifact holds no model nodes (a `dbt test` run overwrites
  `run_results.json` with test nodes only) build coverage is unknowable, so
  the coverage assertion is skipped rather than guessed
- 1s tolerance on the edited-after-build comparison for mtime granularity

16 tests over every branch, including custom `target-path` and malformed JSON.

A fully deterministic loss mode in evaluation traces: the work is functionally
reasonable but ships under self-chosen names — a prefix added, a plural
dropped, a `_v2` suffix — and the agent then self-verifies against its own
renamed output and reports success. The literal contract is never re-read.

`dbt-deliverable-names` re-reads it: the deliverable names the task document
states literally, diffed against the model, seed and snapshot names the
project actually defines. Missing name -> refuse to terminate.

Conservative by construction:
- required names come only from `extractRequiredDeliverables` (declaration
  marker, deliverables section, or requirement line; inline code span only;
  identifier- or path-shaped; stopword-filtered). No fuzzy matching.
- no discoverable required-names source -> `appliesTo` false, silent skip,
  never a false failure
- produced names are the union of the filesystem inventory and every
  `manifest.json` name/alias, so an aliased relation cannot read as missing
- comparison is exact (case-insensitive only); a near-miss name is reported
  as a possible substitute in the hint, never accepted as the deliverable
- required column names are deliberately out of scope: asserting a column
  exists means resolving `select *`, CTEs and upstream schemas, which is SQL
  analysis rather than a filesystem inventory

15 tests: nesting, aliases, seeds, literal path requirements, case folding,
substitute reporting and the silent-skip paths.

`dbt-incremental-config` flags configurations that contradict themselves, not
absences — dbt legitimately supports append-only and keyless incremental
models, so a missing `unique_key` is only a defect when the declared strategy
needs one.

Three inconsistencies, all grep-level over the edited model source with
comments stripped:
- `incremental_strategy='merge'` / `'delete+insert'` with no `unique_key`:
  dbt has nothing to match rows on, so the model silently appends duplicates
- no `is_incremental()` guard in an incremental model when the workspace task
  document literally asks for idempotent re-runs (and only then)
- a non-deterministic call (`current_timestamp`, `random()`, …) inside the
  `is_incremental()` predicate, which makes the selected row set differ run to
  run. The same functions elsewhere in the model — an audit column, say — are
  recorded as advisories in telemetry and never block.

Config inherited from `dbt_project.yml` is deliberately not resolved: doing it
properly means materialising dbt's config inheritance, and guessing it trades
a real check for false failures.

16 tests including the intentional-append, guarded-model and
advisory-not-blocking paths.

`dbt-dialect-guard` flags warehouse-specific SQL used in the models a session
edited without the project's prescribed `target.type` Jinja guard. The failure
it catches: reaching for a function known from one warehouse, which compiles
on the development target and breaks everywhere else.

Only speaks when the project actually prescribes the convention — `target.type`
must already appear under `models/` or `macros/`, or
`ALTIMATE_VALIDATORS_DIALECT_GUARD=1` must be set. A single-warehouse project
never sees this validator, because there warehouse-specific SQL is just
correct SQL.

Grep-level: comments stripped, `target.type`-guarded Jinja blocks blanked, then
a curated call-shaped function list (Snowflake / BigQuery / DuckDB / Redshift)
matched over what remains. Curated for precision rather than coverage; a
project macro sharing a name with a listed builtin is the known residual false
positive, which is why the message is advisory and names the guard to add.

14 tests including guarded usage, portable SQL, comment-only mentions and
same-named column references.

Answers whether the SQL engine already covers the two deterministic checks
that cannot live in the fs+regex validator tier.

- Unguarded division: already shipped and already wired. Lint rule `L032`
  (`division_by_column_no_guard`) is a real sqlparser expression-tree walk;
  guarded denominators are excluded structurally because `NULLIF`/`CASE`
  parse as non-identifier nodes. Reachable today via
  `Dispatcher.call("altimate_core.lint", …)` with an empty schema. No engine
  work; the only consumer cost is feeding it compiled model SQL, which
  sequences it behind the build-green gate.
- Filter consistency: the engine has a close cousin at the wrong granularity.
  `review::grain::extract_source_filters` compares WHERE-clause filters
  ACROSS models (already consumed by `siblingConsistencyLane`) but never
  looks inside projection expressions, so sibling aggregates carrying
  asymmetric CASE predicates in one SELECT are invisible. Needs one new
  analysis pass — best expressed as a lint rule alongside `L032`, since that
  path is already plumbed end to end — plus a napi export and a dispatcher
  entry. Rule-sized, not architecture-sized; the cost concentrates in
  structural predicate normalisation.

Includes the capability-to-consumer path (crate, npm package, version pin,
lazy dispatcher registration) so the engine ticket can be scoped.

`failed_out_of_scope` counted every failing node when the session edited
nothing, because the in-scope set was empty and out-of-scope was computed
independently of the "no edits means the whole run is ours" branch. Telemetry
therefore double-counted the same failures as both in and out of scope.

Compute both from one partition of the failing nodes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A validator that is written but never registered is invisible, and nothing
else in the suite would notice. Pins the registered names and their order,
asserts idempotence and the framework contract (appliesTo/check/description),
and checks that no validator fires against a directory that is not a dbt
project.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 39781

The new opt-in completion gates can mark sessions complete using mutable or ambiguous build evidence, while some Python, test-only, and similarly named models may bypass or satisfy build checks incorrectly. This creates a concrete risk that unverified work is accepted; the PR should not merge until build evidence is tied to the intended project and model and these coverage gaps are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Else branch treated as incremental predicate

High Severity

IS_INCREMENTAL_BLOCK_RE captures through the first endif, so the {% else %} / {% elif %} full-refresh branch is treated as the incremental predicate. Clock functions that belong only on the initial-load path are then raised as blocking nondeterministic-predicate findings and can refuse a correct incremental model.

Run-result names use last unique_id segment

Medium Severity

readRunResults takes the last unique_id segment as the node name. Versioned models use model.package.name.vN, so the recorded name becomes vN instead of the model name. dbt-build-green then cannot match edited files and treats a successful versioned build as not_built.

Requirements headings become deliverable contracts

High Severity

DELIVERABLES_HEADING_RE matches any heading that starts with required, with no trailing boundary. ## Requirements and ## Required columns are treated as a literal deliverable contract. Code-span column or package names then become required models, so dbt-nothing-built turns on and dbt-deliverable-names fails sessions that never promised those relations.

Adopt the documented tmpdir fixture in the three new validator test files. All three files declare a module-level let dir and create temp directories with os.tmpdir() plus afterEach cleanup. New test files in packages/opencode/test/altimate/ must scope temp directories per test through the fixture.

  • packages/opencode/test/altimate/validators/dbt-nothing-built.test.ts#L4-L18: replace the os import and module-level dir with import { tmpdir } from "../../fixture/fixture" and await using tmp = await tmpdir() inside each test; pass the fixture path to makeProject, writeModel, writeRunResults, and the context builders. Keep the process.env deletions in afterEach.
  • packages/opencode/test/altimate/validators/dbt-incremental-config.test.ts#L4-L9: apply the same fixture change and pass the per-test path into makeProject, writeModel, and ctx.

Separate the lint-rule and bespoke-API wiring paths.

If filter consistency is implemented as a lint rule, reuse the existing altimate_core.lint handler. Do not plan a new NAPI export or dispatcher key for that path. Require those steps only for the bespoke analysis API alternative. The existing registration in packages/opencode/src/altimate/native/altimate-core.ts Lines 102-111 already exposes lint results end to end.

Include Python dbt models in the edited-model scope.

modelsModifiedSince accepts only .sql files, so an edit to models/fct_orders.py leaves touchedPaths empty. With no fresh artifact, DbtBuildGreenValidator.check() returns nothing-to-gate without requiring a build. Update modelsModifiedSince and modelNameFromPath for .py files, and add a test fixture for this path.

Store statuses only for model nodes.

readRunResults derives r.name from the final segment of uniqueId. Therefore, test.t.stg_orders and model.t.stg_orders share the same key. Since statusByName stores every result, a test result can make an edited model appear built or overwrite its model status. Filter on r.uniqueId.startsWith("model.") before storing statuses.

WARNING: freshRun counts a test-only run_results.json as a fresh successful build artifact

dbt test (and dbt seed/dbt snapshot) overwrite run_results.json with non-model nodes, so this .some(...) returns true for a run that built zero models. A session that wrote no files and only ran dbt test passes the inverse gate despite producing no deliverable — the exact declared-done-but-nothing-built state this validator exists to catch. Mirror dbt-build-green's modelNodeNames and require a model.-prefixed node with a clean status.

WARNING: NONDETERMINISTIC_RE matches bare identifiers, not just function calls

The alternation matches \brandom\b, \bnow\b, \brand\b, \bnewid\b, \bsysdate\b, etc. without a trailing (. A column with one of these names inside an is_incremental() predicate (e.g. where random < 0.5) produces a blocking nondeterministic-predicate finding. This is inconsistent with dbt-dialect-guard, which deliberately uses call-shaped patterns (\biff\s*\() specifically so a same-named column cannot trigger them. Split the list: keyword-shaped clocks (current_timestamp, current_date, sysdate, getdate, localtimestamp) can stay bare, but function names (random, rand, now, uuid_string, gen_random_uuid, newid) should require a call shape.

SUGGESTION: -- inside a string literal is stripped as a comment

.replace(/--[^\n]*/g, ...) blanks from -- to end of line even when the -- sits inside a quoted literal (e.g. where name = 'a--b'), corrupting the rest of the line. This produces silent false negatives for both the dialect guard and the incremental-config lint — the real function/config on the remainder of the line is lost. A minimal guard would skip -- when preceded by an odd number of unescaped quotes on the line, or tokenize strings before stripping.

P1 Badge Include Python models in the touched-model set

When a session creates or edits a dbt Python model such as models/orders.py, modelsModifiedSince returns only .sql files, so touchedPaths is empty and this validator takes the nothing-to-gate path without requiring any build artifact. The other new gates can still see that an authored file/name exists, allowing an unbuilt Python model to pass the completion lane; custom model-paths outside a models/ ancestor are similarly invisible. Discover dbt model files using the project's configured model paths and include supported .py models.

P1 Badge Extract only the artifact name from requirement lines

When a normal task says, for example, Create the model fct_orderswith unique keyorder_id``, this adds every code span on the line, so both fct_orders and `order_id` are classified as required models. `dbt-deliverable-names` then blocks a correct implementation because no model named `order_id` exists. The same problem affects code-formatted config values under broad `## Requirements` headings; extraction needs to associate identifiers with the artifact noun rather than treating every inline identifier as a deliverable.

P2 Badge Ignore comments when detecting the dialect-guard convention

If the only target.type occurrence in a project is inside a SQL or Jinja comment, this raw-text probe still enables the validator for the entire project. An edited model using valid single-warehouse SQL such as iff() is then rejected even though the project never established a real guard convention. Apply the same comment stripping used by the model check before testing TARGET_TYPE_RE.

P2 Badge Exclude quoted literals from dialect-function matching

When an edited model contains a string value such as select 'safe_cast(' as example, the function regex matches text inside the literal and returns a blocking dialect finding even though no warehouse-specific function is executed. stripSqlComments does not remove or mask quoted SQL strings, so the check needs string-aware tokenization or literal masking before applying the call patterns.

P1 Badge Recognize modification tasks as artifact requirements

When a task is phrased as Update the model fct_orders`` or uses similarly common verbs such as fix, change, add, or rename, this requirement regex does not match, so no contract is extracted. If the session then writes nothing, dbt-nothing-built does not apply and the other model-scoped gates also pass, preserving the zero-write blind spot for modification tasks. Include verbs that require changes to existing artifacts, not only creation-oriented verbs.

P1 Badge Resolve versioned model identities from the manifest

For a dbt versioned model, the run-result unique ID has a version suffix such as model.project.dim_accounts.v2; taking only the final segment records its name as v2. The touched file is instead identified by a filename such as dim_accounts_v2, so dbt-build-green cannot match the successful result and reports the versioned model as never built. Map run-result unique IDs through manifest.json or compare stable unique IDs/original file paths rather than deriving names from the last dotted segment.

P2 Badge Inspect the incremental filter rather than the whole Jinja block

When a non-deterministic projected expression is conditionally emitted inside an is_incremental() block—for example , current_timestamp as loaded_at—the entire block body is treated as the incremental predicate and produces a blocking nondeterministic-predicate finding. This does not make row selection non-reproducible and contradicts the validator's intended advisory treatment for projected expressions. Restrict the blocking check to the actual filter predicate instead of every expression inside the guard.

P1 Badge Account for ephemeral models in build coverage

When an edited model is materialized as ephemeral and the session successfully builds a downstream model that uses it, dbt does not emit a standalone run-result row for the ephemeral node. Because the artifact contains other model nodes, coverage is considered assertable and this line marks the ephemeral model as not_built, permanently rejecting a valid build. Consult the manifest's materialization metadata and verify ephemerals through compilation or built dependents rather than requiring their own run-result status.

P2 Badge Parse nested target guards before stripping them

When a target.type guard contains a nested Jinja if, this non-greedy regex stops at the nested block's first endif rather than the matching outer endif. Any warehouse-specific call later in the still-guarded outer block remains in the scanned SQL and is incorrectly reported as unguarded. Use nesting-aware Jinja parsing, or at least balanced block matching, before applying the dialect-function patterns.

P2 Badge Recognize idempotence in task contracts

When the task says that reruns must provide idempotence, this regex does not match that standard noun form, so idempotencyDemanded remains false and an incremental model without any is_incremental() guard passes. Extend the literal keyword matcher to include idempotence so equivalent task wording receives the promised consistency check.

<violation number="1" location="packages/opencode/src/altimate/validators/dbt-deliverable-names.ts:99">
P2: When a dbt project configures a non-default `model-paths` such as `analytics`, this inventory misses existing models and reports their required names as absent.

<violation number="1" location="packages/opencode/test/altimate/validators/registration.test.ts:62">
P3: The final test asserts only that no validator returns ok:false, but its name claims "no validator applies to a directory that is not a dbt project." Because runAll pushes an entry only when appliesTo returns true (and wraps appliesTo/check throws into {ok:true} soft-passes), a validator that wrongly applies and returns ok:true — the exact regression the test name promises to guard — would still pass. Assert `results` is empty to actually pin the appliesTo contract.</violation>

P2: When a `target.type` block contains a nested Jinja `if`, this non-greedy match ends at the nested `endif`, leaving later guarded SQL visible and falsely rejecting it. Use a balanced Jinja block scan before matching dialect functions.</violation>

<violation number="3" location="packages/opencode/src/altimate/validators/dbt-dialect-guard.ts:123">
P2: Any raw `target.type` text, including a comment or literal, activates this validator, so a single-warehouse project can start failing on `iff()` without establishing the guard convention. Detect an actual Jinja `if target.type` guard after removing comments.</violation>

<violation number="4" location="packages/opencode/src/altimate/validators/dbt-dialect-guard.ts:173">
P2: When an edited model contains a quoted value such as `'safe_cast('`, the dialect regex treats text inside the literal as a function call. Mask or tokenize quoted SQL strings before applying the dialect-function patterns.</violation>

<violation number="1" location="packages/opencode/test/altimate/validators/dbt-incremental-config.test.ts:222">
P3: The test titled "tolerates an unreadable model file without throwing" does not exercise the case it claims. It creates a directory named `weird.sql`, and `modelsModifiedSince` (via `fs.readdir` with `withFileTypes`) treats it as a directory and recurses into it, so it is never statted as a model and the `fs.readFile` / `continue` unreadable-file branch in `check` is never reached. The test only verifies that a misleadingly-named directory doesn't crash the scan. Either rename the test to describe that scenario, or exercise the actual unreadable-model-file path (a `.sql` file that passes discovery but fails `readFile`) if the tolerance is the intent.</violation>

<violation number="1" location="packages/opencode/test/altimate/validators/dbt-nothing-built.test.ts:307">
P3: Tests mutate process-wide `ALTIMATE_VALIDATORS_*` / `DBT_TARGET_PATH` env vars but the `afterEach` only `delete`s them; a value present before the test run is not restored. If a developer or harness runs the suite with one of these opt-in vars pre-set, the run behaves unexpectedly and the var is left deleted afterward. Save the prior value and restore it (or delete when absent) in `afterEach`, matching the repo's test-env isolation convention.</violation>

<violation number="2" location="packages/opencode/test/altimate/validators/dbt-nothing-built.test.ts:360">
P2: The "an all-failed fresh run artifact does not count as a build" test passes for the wrong reason: it uses `ctxFuture()` (sessionStartMs = now+60s), so `run_results.json`'s mtime is *before* the session start and `fresh_run_results` is false due to staleness — identical to the preceding "stale run artifact" test, which also uses `ctxFuture()`. The error status never factors in, and the case the name claims to cover (a *fresh* artifact that is all-failed) is never exercised. Use `ctxPast()` so the artifact is fresh, and assert `details["fresh_run_results"]` is true while `ok` is false, confirming the all-failed status (not staleness) drops it to not-a-build.</violation>

<violation number="1" location="packages/opencode/src/altimate/validators/dbt-build-green.ts:87">
P1: When a session edits a dbt Python model, `modelsModifiedSince` returns no touched path, so `dbt-build-green` takes the `nothing-to-gate` path without requiring a build artifact. Discover touched models from configured model paths and include supported `.py` files.</violation>

<violation number="4" location="packages/opencode/src/altimate/validators/dbt-build-green.ts:153">
P3: The docstring promises "Failures on nodes the session did not touch are reported in telemetry but never block, so a pre-existing broken model elsewhere in the project cannot trap the session in a retry loop," but when the session edited nothing and a fresh artifact exists, `failedInScope` is `allFailed` — every failing node blocks, including nodes the session never touched. A session that only ran `dbt build`/`dbt test` against a project with a pre-existing broken model or failing test is blocked exactly as the docstring says it cannot be. The test `with no edits of our own, every failure in the fresh artifact is in scope` pins this behavior, so either the docstring or the code is wrong; align them — e.g., scope failures to model nodes (or to nothing) when `touchedPaths.length === 0`, or update the docstring to state that an untouched-session build failure does block.</violation>

P2: `NONDETERMINISTIC_RE` matches names without requiring call syntax, so a `random` column or a literal `'now'` inside the filter falsely fails the completion gate. Distinguish SQL function calls from identifiers and literals before reporting.</violation>

P3: The test titled "tolerates an unreadable model file without throwing" does not exercise the case it claims. It creates a directory named weird.sql, and modelsModifiedSince (via fs.readdir with withFileTypes) treats it as a directory and recurses into it, so it is never statted as a model and the fs.readFile / continue unreadable-file branch in check is never reached. The test only verifies that a misleadingly-named directory doesn't crash the scan. Either rename the test to describe that scenario, or exercise the actual unreadable-model-file path (a .sql file that passes discovery but fails readFile) if the tolerance is the intent.

P3: The docstring promises "Failures on nodes the session did not touch are reported in telemetry but never block, so a pre-existing broken model elsewhere in the project cannot trap the session in a retry loop," but when the session edited nothing and a fresh artifact exists, failedInScope is allFailed — every failing node blocks, including nodes the session never touched. A session that only ran dbt build/dbt test against a project with a pre-existing broken model or failing test is blocked exactly as the docstring says it cannot be. The test with no edits of our own, every failure in the fresh artifact is in scope pins this behavior, so either the docstring or the code is wrong; align them — e.g., scope failures to model nodes (or to nothing) when touchedPaths.length === 0, or update the docstring to state that an untouched-session build failure does block.

P3: Tests mutate process-wide ALTIMATE_VALIDATORS_* / DBT_TARGET_PATH env vars but the afterEach only deletes them; a value present before the test run is not restored. If a developer or harness runs the suite with one of these opt-in vars pre-set, the run behaves unexpectedly and the var is left deleted afterward. Save the prior value and restore it (or delete when absent) in afterEach, matching the repo's test-env isolation convention.
