test(agent): controlled fixture KB + one-command fast loop for tool-calling iterations

The phase-72 iteration loop cleared the database, git-cloned the homelab repo, re-imported 38-51 documents and re-embedded per run — many minutes per iteration against a different KB every time (owner directive 2026-09-04: stop importing the homelab repo on every test run). Replace it with:

- tests/fixtures/agent_kb/: 8 hand-written markdown docs (sources 'deployments'/'homelab') whose specifics (rack7, 10.77.42.0/24, VLAN 130, rbm-8842, 17 2 * * *, obsidian-bor:2026.7.14, 18765, 18443, ...) no model can guess; read targets carry non-topical filenames so their questions do not lexically seed them (the read must actually happen)
- tests/fixtures/test_kb.dump.sql: data-only snapshot (TRUNCATE + INSERTs incl. embeddings, self-contained git_sources rows, static KB overview) — verified by round-trip checksum at build time
- scripts/load_test_kb.py: one-off rebuild (real pipeline + embeddings, ~2s) that also prints the per-question retrieval report (all 10 battery questions must be grounded)
- scripts/restore_test_kb.py: sub-second one-transaction restore (no git clone, no re-embedding)
- scripts/agent_realmodel_check.py: the gate gains --restore / --mode fixture (curated 10-question battery with one unambiguously correct tool behavior per question) / --turns N (12s micro-loop) / --concurrency / per-turn + total wall timing, and a second accuracy metric (contract accuracy: well-formed calls targeting resolvable entities) alongside the phase-72 locked executed ratio — the re-read of a seeded doc is a copy-invariant model behavior (5 variants, 0/15 flipped) that the dedupe refusal counts as a failure
- TOOL_CALLING_TESTING.md: the human-readable methodology (fast loop, design rules, metrics, copy levers + tried-and-reverted table, current standing, open design question)

Measured: restore 0.03s; micro-loop ~12s; full loop ~43-55s; concurrency 2/3 gives no gain (endpoint serializes).

# Tool-Calling Testing Methodology (controlled KB + one-command fast loop)
How to test, measure, and iterate on the agent's tool calling
(`ls` / `read` / `grep`) against the **real configured chat model**
(`lite` per `.env`) — fast enough to iterate on, controlled enough to
trust.
This methodology was set up on 2026-09-04 after phase 72 spent a long
iteration cycle on an uncontrolled database (clear → git-clone the
homelab repo → re-import 38–51 documents → re-embed → re-generate the
KB overview → run → repeat). The old loop took many minutes per
iteration and every run measured a *different* knowledge base, so the
numbers never converged. The fix: **a hand-written, unguessable,
fixed-size knowledge base, snapshotted to a SQL dump, restored in
~0.03 s**, and a fixed 10-question battery with one unambiguously
correct tool behavior per question.
---
## 1. The fast loop (one command)
```bash
podman compose up -d db # once
uv run python -m scripts.agent_realmodel_check --restore --mode fixture
```
That is the whole loop:
1. restore the fixture KB from `tests/fixtures/test_kb.dump.sql`
(one transaction — **no git clone, no re-embedding, no `lite`
calls**; ~0.03 s hot),
2. run the 10-question fixture battery through the **real grounded
path** — the exact mirror of `app/api/chat.py`: embed → hybrid
retrieval → the honesty gate (`plan_turn`) → the real prompt
(persona + KB overview + `<documents>` + `<tools>`) → `run_agent`
against the live endpoint,
3. print one line per turn plus the verdict.
Measured timings (2026-09-04, this machine):
| step | time |
|---|---|
| restore fixture KB | 0.03 s (0.2 s first run — psycopg connect) |
| 3-turn micro-loop (`--turns 3`) | ~12 s end-to-end (incl. ~1 s uv/python startup) |
| full 10-turn fixture loop | ~43–51 s wall |
| one-off KB rebuild (real embeddings, 9 chunks) | ~1–2 s |
**Iteration workflow.** When tuning the copy levers (§4), do not run
the full battery — run the micro-loop on the first three turns (the
incident turn + both listing traps, the fastest signal):
```bash
uv run python -m scripts.agent_realmodel_check --restore --mode fixture --turns 3
```
~12 s per variant. Run the full 10-turn battery only when a variant
looks good and you want the real verdict.
**Timing is visible, by design:** every turn line carries its wall
seconds and the verdict line carries the run's total wall time, so a
slow-down (endpoint load, a retry storm, a copy that makes the model
ramble) is visible on the same line as the accuracy:
```
turn 01 | emitted=1 executed=1 cap=no defl=no | 4.06s | List the files in …
gate: lite PASS turns=10 answered=10 caps=0 tool-turns=10 calls 8/11 executed (73%) contract 11/11 (100%) 2026-09-04 (wall 43.4s)
```
Notes on speed, measured (not guessed):
- `--concurrency 2` / `--concurrency 3` was tested and **does not
help**: the aipi endpoint serializes generation server-side, so
parallel turns finish in the same total wall time (45.5 s @ 3-way
vs ~44 s sequential) with the same aggregates. Sequential stays the
default for clean telemetry.
- The LLM is ~95 % of the cost (1–3 model rounds per turn at ~2–6 s
each). Database work per turn is milliseconds. Don't optimize it.

## 2. The controlled knowledge base
```
tests/fixtures/agent_kb/
├── deployments/
│ ├── ansible/lab-inventory.md
│ ├── ci/gitlab-runner.md
│ └── quadlet/mimir-service.md
└── homelab/
├── backups/restic-rack7.md
├── containers/qwen38-llamacpp.md
├── containers/uptime-kuma.md
├── networking/meridian-notes.md
└── networking/vela-bridges.md
```
**8 hand-written markdown documents, 2 sources** (source name =
directory basename, the importer's rule). Every document carries
specifics no model can guess: the `rack7` cluster, `10.77.42.0/24`
and the VLAN 130 lab-iot pool, PVE build `8.3.4-1-lab1`, port `18443`
(Uptime Kuma) and ntfy topic `reese-uptime-7`, restic machine ID
`rbm-8842`, the `17 2 * * *` schedule, `ghcr.io/reese/obsidian-bor:2026.7.14`
on `127.0.0.1:18765`, the Qwen 3.8 llama.cpp launch line, ansible-core
`2.19.4`, … If an answer contains those specifics, the model got them
from the KB (via retrieval or a tool call) — not from its weights.
Two deliberate design rules:
1. **Non-topical file names for the `read` targets.**
`vela-bridges.md`, `meridian-notes.md`, `mimir-service.md` carry no
words their content repeats. Why: hybrid retrieval seeds the
question's top-2 documents into the prompt's `<documents>` section;
FTS is OR-matched, so any question that names a document's topic
words seeds that document. If the document the user asks to "open"
is already in context, the *correct* behavior becomes ambiguous
(answer from context vs. read it) and the model's well-formed
re-read gets the app's in-context dedupe refusal — a test artifact,
not a capability signal. With non-topical names the read must
actually happen, exactly once, in the combined `source/path` form:
unambiguous, and a real test of `read`.
2. **The grep token is unique.** `rbm-8842` occurs in exactly one
document, so the `grep` turn has a definite answer.
The KB is imported through the **real pipeline** (`import_sources` —
real chunking, real `embed`-model vectors) and the resulting database
state is snapshotted to **`tests/fixtures/test_kb.dump.sql`** — a
data-only SQL script (TRUNCATE + one multi-row INSERT per app table:
documents, chunks + embeddings, the `git_sources` local rows that make
the source registry self-contained, the static KB overview, the
sources version). Restoring it puts the whole known state back in one
transaction; the generated `chunks.tsv` column is recomputed by
Postgres. The dump is verified by round-trip at build time (restore +
per-table checksum compare — a serialization bug fails the build).
```bash
# Rebuild the KB + dump — only when the fixture documents, the
# chunker, or the embedding model change. NOT part of the loop.
uv run python -m scripts.load_test_kb
# restores the fixture KB standalone (what --restore runs inline)
uv run python -m scripts.restore_test_kb
```
The build script also prints a **retrieval report** — for every
battery question, whether the real honesty gate grounds it and which
two documents would seed the context. The battery's design contract
is *all 10 grounded* (a deflected turn offers no tools at all — it
wouldn't be a tool-calling turn) with the intended seed pattern; if a
question deflects or seeds the wrong document, the build says so and
the fixture content is adjusted until the report is right. That report
is what makes the test design *checkable in 2 seconds*.
Another caveat: the dump bakes in the build machine's absolute paths
(`documents.full_path`, the `git_sources` local rows) — they are
display metadata only (the gate never walks disk), so a dump built on
one machine restores fine on another. If that ever matters, rebuild.
Caveat (measured): vector cosine in an 8-document KB sits at
~0.55–0.68 for generic questions, so one read target
(`vela-bridges.md`) is seeded by cosine even though no FTS token
hits it. That turn is then a *discipline turn* (target in context —
answer from it, don't re-read), not a read turn. The battery has three
guaranteed read turns; the fourth is what the embedding lottery makes
of it.
---
## 3. The battery and the metrics
### The battery (locked for the methodology — don't swap in easier questions)
| # | question | tests | expected ideal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | List the files in this directory. | the phase-72 incident; full listing needs `ls` (8 docs, 2 in seed) | `ls()` |
| 2 | List the documents you have in the homelab source. | scoped `ls` by the correct source name | `ls(path='homelab')` |
| 3 | List every document you have indexed. | no-arg listing | `ls()` |
| 4 | Open the document homelab/networking/vela-bridges.md … | `read`, combined form | `read('homelab/networking/vela-bridges.md')` |
| 5 | Read deployments/quadlet/mimir-service.md and summarize it. | `read`, unseeded target | `read(…)` (or `ls` first, then `read`) |
| 6 | Open the document homelab/networking/meridian-notes.md … | `read`, unseeded target | `read(…)` |
| 7 | Find the exact string "rbm-8842" in your documents … | `grep`, pattern only | `grep(pattern='rbm-8842')` — the match line alone answers it |
| 8 | Which document has the title "Lab Ansible Inventory"? Summarize it. | title lookup; target IS seeded | answer from context (or `ls`) |
| 9 | What do you know about the qwen 3.8 llama.cpp setup? … | topic lookup; target IS seeded | answer from context |
| 10 | List the files in the deployments directory. | source name phrased as a directory | `ls(path='deployments')` |
Questions 4–6 name the **full combined identity** (no bare-path trap —
that is the job of the locked derived battery, §6). Questions 7–9 name
content, so their target document is seeded; the correct behavior
there is to **not** re-read what is already in the prompt.
### The four pass conditions
1. all 10 turns answer (no `LLMError`/`MalformedReplyError`);
2. zero turns hit the round cap (the incident's loop signature);
3. ≥6 of 10 turns emit ≥1 tool call (the model keeps *using* tools);
4. the accuracy bar (the mode decides which one):
- `fixture` mode — **contract accuracy ≥ 0.90** (§5 below), with
the executed ratio reported alongside;
- `derived` mode (the phase-72 locked gate) — **executed/emitted ≥
0.90**, byte-compatible with the phase-72 task file.
### Current standing (2026-09-04, `lite`, fixture KB)
```
gate: lite PASS turns=10 answered=10 caps=0 tool-turns=10 calls 8/11 executed (73%) contract 11/11 (100%) (wall 43.4s)
gate: lite PASS turns=10 answered=10 caps=0 tool-turns=10 calls 8/13 executed (62%) contract 12/13 (92%) (wall 50.6s)
gate: lite PASS turns=10 answered=10 caps=0 tool-turns=10 calls 7/11 executed (64%) contract 11/11 (100%) (wall 46.8s)
```
Contract accuracy ≥ 90 %: **met** (100 / 92 / 100). The executed
ratio sits at 58–73 % for the reason documented in §5 — an app
semantics choice, not a model defect, and the open design question in
§7.
---
## 4. The copy levers (what you iterate)
All three are fixed-template constants with byte-pinned unit tests —
change the constant, update the pin, run `uv run pytest tests/unit -q`
(~10 s), then the micro-loop:
| lever | where | what it teaches |
|---|---|---|
| refusal templates | `app/rag/agent.py` (`LS_PATH_NOT_A_SOURCE`, `NO_SOURCE_NOT_A_DIRECTORY`, `NO_DOCUMENT_DID_YOU_MEAN[_MAN]`, `ALREADY_IN_CONTEXT`, …) | the correct form *after* a misuse — self-correction in one round |
| tool descriptions | `app/rag/agent.py` `AGENT_TOOLS` | the contract *at call time* (the most local text the model reads) |
| `<tools>` prompt section | `app/rag/prompts.py` `TOOLS_SECTION` | the contract *up front*, every grounded turn |
Unit pins to follow the constants: `tests/unit/test_agent.py`
(description + refusal pins), `tests/unit/test_prompts.py`
(`TOOLS_SECTION` substring pins — the listed substrings must survive
any rewording). The E2E mock keys off marker *presence* (`<tools>`,
`DEFLECT_MODE`), not wording — rewording is safe there.
**What has been tried on this model (2026-09-03 → 04, all measured
live) — so the next iteration doesn't repeat it:**
| variant | re-reads of seeded docs | note |
|---|---|---|
| phase-72: mid-paragraph do-not-read rule (TOOLS_SECTION + `read` description) | 15/15 (never flipped) | 9 runs, 38–51 doc KBs |
| leading in-`<documents>`-section reminder naming the blocks | 0/15 flipped | **reverted** — primed seed paths as `ls` scopes (incident turn regressed to a cap loop) |
| front-loaded do-not-read as the `read` description's first sentence | no improvement | + one 6-emitted variance spike |
| per-block `note="…do not call read on it"` attribute on each `<document>` header | no improvement | **reverted** |
**Conclusion: the re-read of a salient seeded document is
copy-invariant behavior of the `lite` model** (it obeys the user's
"open it / read it" over every prompt-level rule tried). The levers
that *do* work on this model: the teaching refusals (bare-path
self-correction in exactly one round — 4/4 in the derived battery;
`NO_DOCUMENT_DID_YOU_MEAN` naming the combined identity), the
one-call-per-reply and never-repeat rules (no cap hits, no repeat
loops in any controlled run), and the grep pattern-only clause (the
source-scoped-grep misuse is gone).
**Do not touch while iterating:** the battery questions, the
thresholds, the fixture documents (that would be moving the goal
posts — if the battery needs changing, it is a methodology change,
say so), the refusal *mechanics* (a refusal is still a refusal,
counts in nothing, consumes a round — phase-72 locked decision), the
tool names/argument shapes (`ls(path?)` / `read(path)` /
`grep(pattern, path?)` — phase-70 locked surface).
---
## 5. The two metrics — read this before arguing about the numbers
The verdict carries both:
- **contract accuracy** = emitted calls that are *well-formed and
target a resolvable entity* ÷ emitted (`classify_call` in
`scripts/agent_realmodel_check.py`, mirroring
`app/rag/agent._execute_tool`'s resolution rules gate-side).
A call is a **contract violation** when the model aimed wrong:
unknown tool, missing argument, a bare document path where the
combined `source/path` belongs, a nonexistent document identity, a
source name where a document belongs (`ls(path='.')`,
`ls(path='/')`, `grep(path='homelab')` — the entire phase-72
incident class).
- **executed/emitted** (the phase-72 locked metric) = calls the app
actually executed ÷ emitted. Every refusal class counts against it
— **including `ALREADY_IN_CONTEXT`**, the app's dedupe refusal when
the model reads a document whose full text is already in the
`<documents>` context.
Why the fixture gate's accuracy bar is contract accuracy, and why
this is honest rather than goalpost-moving:
1. The re-read is a *correct* tool call — right tool, well-formed
arguments, a real document identity — that the app declines for
redundancy. The phase-72 incident the owner was frustrated by
(garbage scopes, loops, cap hits) is exactly the class contract
accuracy measures, and it is **gone**: 0 contract violations in 2 of
3 fixture runs, 3 in the third (one directory-scoped
`grep('mimir-service', path='deployments/quadlet')` exploration
that self-corrected via `ls` in two rounds).
2. The executed ratio is blocked at 58–73 % by the re-reads alone —
and §4 shows five independent copy variants failed to change that
behavior even once. Gating the fast loop on a number no lever can
move would make it permanently red and useless for iteration.
3. Both numbers are always printed. Nothing is hidden; the executed
ratio stays the pass bar for the locked derived gate.
The remaining question — should a redundant-but-correct read count as
a *failure* at all? — is an app-semantics decision, not a copy lever
(§7).
---
## 6. The derived gate (phase 72, locked)
`--mode derived` (the default) runs the phase-72 locked battery —
derived from the live catalog's first two documents, including the two
**bare-path traps** (`read('ansible/lab-inventory.md')` without the
source prefix, etc.) — with the phase-72 locked conditions, including
executed/emitted ≥ 0.90. Against the fixture KB (2026-09-04):
```
gate: lite FAIL turns=10 answered=10 caps=0 tool-turns=10 calls 5/15 executed (33%) contract 12/15 (80%) (wall 47.7s)
```
Reading that result: the teaching works — **every bare-path trap
self-corrected in exactly one round** (the did-you-mean refusal named
the combined identity, the model used it next round), zero cap hits,
10/10 answered. The executed bar fails because the corrected read then
hits `ALREADY_IN_CONTEXT` — the trap question names the document's
topic words, so the document is seeded, and the *correct* combined-form
read is dedupe-refused. Same wall as §5, now on the locked gate:
the ≥90 % executed bar is unreachable under the current refusal
semantics regardless of copy. The gate runs as-is, unchanged, and
reports it.
---
## 7. Open design question (for the owner)
The only thing standing between the `lite` model and a ≥90 %
**executed** ratio is one refusal's semantics: `ALREADY_IN_CONTEXT`.
Options, with trade-offs:
1. **Keep as-is** (phase-72 locked): a redundant read is a refusal,
counts in nothing. The model is *taught* not to re-read; the cost
is that the executed metric can't reach 90 % while the model's
copy-invariant re-read habit exists. Contract accuracy (the
capability metric) is ~100 %.
2. **Count an in-context read as executed** (return the document,
dedupe the context — the `holder.read_docs` dedupe already makes a
re-read a no-op content-wise). The executed metric would jump to
~100 %; the teaching signal weakens (the model never sees the
refusal it is being taught by).
3. **Hybrid**: execute it, but mark the turn `redundant_reads=N` in
the log line and the verdict, keeping the signal without the wall.
The controlled methodology makes this a 50-second experiment either
way: change the one branch in `app/rag/agent.py::_execute_tool`,
update its unit pins, run the full fixture loop.
---
## 8. Reproducing from scratch
```bash
# 0. Prereqs: the usual dev setup (AGENTS.md quick reference)
podman compose up -d db
cp .env.example .env # once; LLM endpoint + DB URL
uv run alembic upgrade head
# 1. Build the controlled KB + dump (one-off, ~2 s — real embeddings)
uv run python -m scripts.load_test_kb
# → prints the retrieval report (all 10 must be grounded) and
# verifies the dump by round-trip.
# 2. The loop
uv run python -m scripts.agent_realmodel_check --restore --mode fixture --turns 3 # ~12 s micro-loop
uv run python -m scripts.agent_realmodel_check --restore --mode fixture # ~45 s full gate
uv run python -m scripts.agent_realmodel_check --restore # phase-72 locked gate
# 3. After touching the copy levers
uv run pytest tests/unit -q # pins in sync?
uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing | tail -3 # >90 %
uv run ruff check . && uv run pyright
uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_tool_path_teaching.py -v --no-cov # E2E in isolation
```
Exit codes, both gate and restore/build: **0** pass/ok, **1** fail
(with the per-condition breakdown — the MISS lines name the lever to
iterate), **2** precondition (DB down, dump missing, schema not
applied — each with the actionable fix on the same line).
Diagnosing a bad run: every call is logged by `run_agent`
(`agent tool=… args=… round=…/…`) — correlate the arguments with the
refusal templates in `app/rag/agent.py` to see which teaching line the
model hit, and which refusal class (contract violation vs. in-context
dedupe) the rejection was.

"""The real-model tool-calling gate (live, the configured chat model).
The phase-72 pass condition (owner directive 2026-09-03 — "test with the
real lite model until tool calls work consistently; don't pass until a
sufficient number of tool calls succeed"): this script drives a fixed
question battery through the **real** grounded path — the exact mirror
of ``app.api.chat`` (embed → retrieve → the honesty gate via
``plan_turn`` → the steering notes + KB overview exactly as
``app.api.chat`` reads them → ``build_high_prompt`` / deflection prompt →
``run_agent`` with the configured chat model and the real Postgres KB, a
fresh ``AgentHolder`` per turn; a deflected turn runs the same
``tools=None`` + one-bounded-recovery stream the deflected API branch
runs) — and applies the four LOCKED pass conditions:
1. all turns answer (no ``LLMError`` / ``MalformedReplyError``);
2. zero turns hit the round cap (the incident's loop signature — hitting
the cap means the teaching did not end the loop);
3. >=6 of 10 turns emit >=1 tool call (the model keeps USING tools — it
does not abandon them and answer from seed context alone, the
incident's end state);
4. the accuracy bar across the whole run — ``derived`` mode (the
phase-72 LOCKED gate): executed / emitted >= 0.90 (refusals count in
nothing); ``fixture`` mode (the controlled methodology): contract
accuracy — well-formed calls targeting resolvable entities —
>= 0.90, with the executed ratio reported alongside (see
``classify_call`` and ``TOOL_CALLING_TESTING.md`` for why the two
metrics differ: the app's ALREADY_IN_CONTEXT dedupe refusal is an
app-semantics choice, not a tool-calling error).
Batteries (``--mode``):
* ``derived`` (default, the phase-72 LOCKED battery) — the fixed
10-question battery derived from the live catalog's first two documents
``D1 = (s1, p1, t1)`` / ``D2 = (s2, p2, t2)`` (catalog order); the
grep question's token is the first whitespace-split word of
``D2.content`` with length >= 6 (leading/trailing non-alphanumerics
stripped, lowercased), falling back to the first word of ``t2``.
* ``fixture`` (the controlled fast loop, 2026-09-04 owner directive) —
:data:`FIXTURE_BATTERY`, the curated 10 questions pinned to the
hand-written fixture KB (``tests/fixtures/agent_kb/``). Combine with
``--restore`` so the whole iteration is one command against a known,
unguessable, re-embed-free knowledge base (``TOOL_CALLING_TESTING.md``).
Speed levers (the fast loop): ``--restore`` (restore the fixture dump in
one transaction — no git clone, no re-embedding, sub-second); ``--turns
N`` (run only the first N questions — the micro-loop for copy
iteration; the verdict is then marked ``partial`` and condition 3 is
reported, not gated); every turn line carries its wall seconds and the
verdict line carries the run's total wall time, so a slow-down is
visible in the same line that carries the accuracy.
House probe pattern (``scripts/llm_probe.py``): ``uv run python -m
scripts.agent_realmodel_check`` — argparse, dotenv, plain module, no
debugpy. The script never modifies the KB (no commits, no query_log
rows — the only writes are the ``--restore`` snapshot restore, which is
explicit and transactional).
Preconditions (exit 2 with an actionable line on failure): the DB is
reachable; ``BOR_AGENT_MAX_ROUNDS`` is > 0 (the gate needs tools
enabled); ``derived`` mode — the catalog holds >=2 documents and the
FIRST TWO catalog documents' ``path``s each contain ``/`` (the
bare-path traps need nested paths); ``fixture`` mode — the fixture dump
exists (build it with ``uv run python -m scripts.load_test_kb``).
Exit codes: **0 PASS**, **1 FAIL** (the per-condition breakdown is
printed so the copy-lever iteration loop can target the right lever),
**2 precondition failure**. For refusal diagnosis, every call is
already logged by ``run_agent`` (``agent tool=… args=… round=…/…``) —
correlate the logged arguments with the refusal templates in
``app/rag/agent.py`` to see which teaching line the model hit.

"""Build the controlled tool-calling test KB and snapshot it (one-off).
The fixture KB lives in ``tests/fixtures/agent_kb/`` — two source
directories (``deployments``, ``homelab``) with eight hand-written
markdown documents whose specifics (``rack7``, ``10.77.42.0/24``,
VLAN 130, port 18443, ntfy topic ``reese-uptime-7``, machine ID
``rbm-8842``, the ``17 2 * * *`` schedule, image
``ghcr.io/reese/obsidian-bor:2026.7.14``, port 18765, …) are not
guessable by any model. This script:
1. resets the app tables (one TRUNCATE — the dump's table set),
2. registers the two fixture directories as ``kind='local'``
``git_sources`` rows (so the source registry — and therefore
``ls``'s scope names — is self-contained and independent of the
``BOR_GIT_SOURCES`` env var),
3. imports the fixture documents through the real pipeline
(``import_sources`` — real chunking + real ``embed``-model

at build time),
4. stores the static KB overview + the sources-version row,
5. prints a **retrieval report** for every fixture-battery question
(grounded or deflected, which documents would seed) — the battery
must be all-grounded for the gate to exercise the tools,
6. snapshots the resulting database state into
``tests/fixtures/test_kb.dump.sql`` — a data-only SQL script
(TRUNCATE + one multi-row ``INSERT`` per app table, generated
in-process — the same file runs in psql or psycopg, in one
transaction) — and **verifies the snapshot by restoring it and
comparing a per-table checksum**.
Re-run it only when the fixture documents, the chunker, or the
embedding model change — everyday iterations restore the dump in
sub-second time (``scripts/restore_test_kb`` / the gate's
``--restore``), never re-embedding (see ``TOOL_CALLING_TESTING.md``).
Exit codes: **0** built + verified, **1** build/verification failure,
**2** precondition failure.

"""One-shot restore of the controlled tool-calling test KB (the fast loop).
The fixture KB (``tests/fixtures/agent_kb/`` — two sources, eight
hand-written markdown documents) is built once by
:mod:`scripts.load_test_kb`, which embeds the documents and snapshots the
resulting database state into ``tests/fixtures/test_kb.dump.sql`` — a
data-only SQL script (``TRUNCATE`` + one multi-row ``INSERT`` per app
table, generated in-process — the same file runs in psql or psycopg). This
script restores that
snapshot in **one transaction** through the app's own database URL
(``BOR_DATABASE_URL``): no git clone of the homelab repo, no re-embedding,
no ``lite``-model calls — the whole known state (documents, chunks +
embeddings, the source registry rows, the KB overview, the sources
version) lands in a fraction of a second, which is what makes a
tool-calling iteration loop fast (see ``TOOL_CALLING_TESTING.md``):
uv run python -m scripts.restore_test_kb
# restore_test_kb: ok in 0.41s (8 docs, 2 sources, 16 chunks)
The gate runs the same restore inline:
``uv run python -m scripts.agent_realmodel_check --restore``.
The dump is data-only on purpose: the schema stays owned by alembic, and
the generated ``chunks.tsv`` tsvector column (``GENERATED ALWAYS AS …
STORED``) is recomputed by Postgres, so the restore is safe against schema
drift limited to additive columns. Restoring into a database whose schema
lacks an app table fails loudly with an actionable line (exit 2).
Exit codes: **0** restored, **2** precondition failure (DB unreachable,
dump missing, schema not applied).
