Two fixes for errors found in Maple's own error tracker.

1. maple start fails on macOS arm64: bump libchdb to v26.7.3

The pinned chdb v26.1.0 macos-arm64 libchdb.so puts its LC_SYMTAB string pool at file offset 0x13148434, which is not 8-byte aligned. Newer dyld refuses to load it:

dlopen(.../libchdb.so): tried: '.../libchdb.so' (mis-aligned LINKEDIT string pool, fileOffset=0x13148434)

This was ~205k maple-cli ServerError events on 2026-10-03, from CLI 0.0.11 (Homebrew), 0.0.18 and 0.0.22. Most of the volume is one install whose supervisor relaunches maple in a loop, but every macOS arm64 user on that dyld is affected.

  • The misalignment is in the upstream tarball itself, not introduced by our ad-hoc codesign. The x86_64 dylib was never misaligned.
  • v26.7.3 is aligned on both macOS arches and stays aligned after codesign --force --sign -. It also dlopens fine.
  • All four sha256 pins come from the GitHub release digests. I checked the macos-arm64 one against a local download.
  • A comment in build-local-binary.sh explains the alignment check to run before pinning a future release.

Upgrade impact: existing local stores were written by v26.1.0, so after updating, the store-version gate asks users to run maple start --reset, which wipes their local data. Worth a line in the release notes.

Tested: I ran the server from source against the v26.7.3 lib with a temp data dir:

  • fresh schema bootstrap
  • reopening the existing store
  • OTLP/JSON ingest
  • maple services / maple errors returning the ingested span
  • first checkpoint
  • clean stop

I did not run the apps/cli/test/native-*.sh probes.

2. Agent tool failures the model recovers from no longer open error issues

The agent engine closes every failed execute_tool span as Error, and error_events_mv turns each one into an error-issue occurrence. Most were the model writing bad SQL and correcting itself on the next call (effect_agent.tool.failure_handling = returned-to-model): 437 ToolCallFailed occurrences on maple-chat since 2026-10-01.

The chat turn runtime now wraps its tracer (ReturnedToolFailuresOkLayer in apps/ai/src/platform/genai-spans.ts):

  • A failed execute_tool span whose failure went back to the model exports as Ok with error.type = ToolCallFailed.
  • error.type keeps the call counted as failed in Agent Sessions and the tool overview, because the ingest gateway stamps maple_ai.error from it.
  • Failures that propagate out of the run (failure_handling = propagated) keep their Error span.
  • The engine writes failure_handling onto the host span before it ends it. Its tool-span tracer is built from the ambient Tracer, which in the turn runtime is now the wrapped one.

Also: run_sql's description now says spans live in traces. otel_spans, otel_traces and spans were the most common guessed table names in failed calls.

Tested: new cases in genai-spans.test.ts cover returned, propagated, and non-tool spans. apps/ai typecheck and the MCP registry contract test pass.

Not changed

  • Hazel AlertDeliveryError timeouts: delivery already runs through a leased, retrying queue, 5 at a time with a 15s cap, so a slow endpoint doesn't hold up other deliveries. The timeouts were Hazel's endpoint failing in two bursts.
  • Alert WarehouseQueryError timeouts: they hit one org's own ClickHouse, which didn't respond within the client timeout. That's the server's side, not ours.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Tool failures returned to the model no longer mark the corresponding tool execution trace as failed. Other failures continue to be reported as failures.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified where to find traces and logs, and what table details the warehouse description tool provides.
  • Chores

    • Updated the default libchdb version used by local builds and related probes.

v26.1.0's macos-arm64 libchdb.so has its LC_SYMTAB string pool at file
offset 0x13148434, which is not 8-byte aligned. Newer dyld refuses it
("mis-aligned LINKEDIT string pool"), so `maple start` fails before it
opens chDB. This was ~205k maple-cli ServerError events on 2026-10-03,
across 0.0.11 (Homebrew), 0.0.18 and 0.0.22.

v26.7.3's string pool is aligned on both macOS arches and stays aligned
after the release workflow's ad-hoc codesign. Smoke-tested from source
on the new lib: fresh bootstrap, reopen of an existing store, OTLP
ingest, services/errors queries, first checkpoint, clean stop.

Existing local stores were written by v26.1.0, so the store-version gate
asks for `maple start --reset` on first start after updating.
…or issues

The agent engine closes every failed execute_tool span as Error, and
error_events_mv turns each into an error-issue occurrence. Most were the
model writing bad SQL and correcting itself (failure_handling =
returned-to-model): 437 ToolCallFailed occurrences on maple-chat since
2026-10-01.

The chat turn runtime now wraps the tracer so a returned tool failure
exports as Ok with error.type set. error.type keeps it counted as a
failed call in Agent Sessions and the tool overview (the gateway stamps
maple_ai.error from it). Propagated failures keep their Error span.

Also name the traces table in run_sql's description: otel_spans,
otel_traces and spans were the most common guessed table names.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds tracer handling for tool failures returned to the model, updates warehouse table guidance, and changes libchdb build and probe defaults from v26.1.0 to v26.7.3.

Changes

Tool failure span handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Returned tool failure span handling
apps/ai/src/platform/genai-spans.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/turn-runner.ts, apps/ai/src/platform/genai-spans.test.ts
A tracer wrapper ends failed execute_tool spans marked returned-to-model with a successful exit and preserves or sets error.type to ToolCallFailed. The chat runtime composes this wrapper with telemetry. Tests cover returned failures, propagated failures, and failures on other span names.

Warehouse tool guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
run_sql warehouse description
apps/ai/src/mcp/tools/run-sql.ts
The description identifies traces and logs as the relevant tables and says the warehouse-description tool provides every table’s columns.

libchdb version update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Version defaults and asset pins
scripts/build-local-binary.sh, apps/cli/test/native-archive-crash-recovery-probe.sh, apps/cli/test/native-archive-gc-probe.sh, apps/cli/test/native-local-store-migration.sh
The build script and CLI probe fallbacks use libchdb v26.7.3. The build script updates the four platform asset SHA-256 values and documents the v26.1.0 macOS ARM64 LINKEDIT alignment issue.

Preserve existing stores before changing the default.

An installation with a v26.1.0 store must use maple start --reset after this upgrade, and that reset wipes local data. Provide a non-destructive migration or recovery path before making v26.7.3 the default.

The PR objective states that existing stores require reset and that reset wipes local data.

Comment thread scripts/build-local-binary.sh Outdated
LIBCHDB_VERSION can be overridden from the environment, but the sha256
was selected by platform asset only, so any other version was checked
against the default release's hash and always failed. Key the case on
version/asset and reject an unpinned pair before downloading.

Maple review

🟢 Confidence 4/5 · likely safe to merge
The only change since the last review is the version-keyed checksum table in the build script; the four v26.7.3 digests themselves are external data I cannot re-derive here.
quality 100/100 · no findings · tests not needed · risk medium

Bumps the pinned libchdb to v26.7.3 in the local-binary build and keys its checksum table on version/asset, and stops agent tool failures the model recovers from being exported as Error spans. Only the build-script hunk is new since the previous review and it holds up.

  • build-local-binary.sh defaults LIBCHDB_VERSION to v26.7.3 and pins per-version/asset sha256
  • ReturnedToolFailuresOkLayer exports returned execute_tool failures as Ok + error.type
  • run_sql description now names traces and logs as the span/log tables
What was checked
  • case "$LIBCHDB_VERSION/$ASSET" falls through to the * branch and exits before curl for any unpinned pair (scripts/build-local-binary.sh:72-78)
  • The version-keyed table is the only place LIBCHDB_VERSION is set; no workflow or script passes a different value
  • Checksum still verified with sha256sum/shasum before tar extraction (scripts/build-local-binary.sh:88-95)
