I'll review the code directly from the diff provided.

VERDICT: REQUEST CHANGES - Several critical bugs and missing test coverage

  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:57 - Critical bug: Variable schema_sql_normalized is used but never defined (should be schema_norm from line 53)
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:57 - Critical bug: Variable violations is used but never defined (should be violations = [] at line 53)
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:57 - Logic bug: Early return returns undefined violations instead of empty list
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:168 - Critical bug: Calls _extract_schema_tables() but function is named _extract_schema_tables() (defined at line 52) - wait, it's defined but at line 52 as _extract_schema_tables, let me re-check... Actually line 52 shows _extract_schema_tables but line 168 calls _extract_schema_tables - that matches. But wait, line 168 uses _extract_schema_tables(module_schema) but the function is defined at line 52 as _extract_schema_tables(schema_sql) - that matches.
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:173 - Bug: Calls _check_migrations_list but function is defined as _check_migrations_list at line 132 - matches, but wait, line 173 calls it with 6 args but function signature at line 132 takes 6 params - let me check... line 132: _check_migrations_list(migrations_node, string_constants, schema_tables, schema_norm, path, store_name) - 6 params. Line 173 calls with 6 args. OK.
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:178 - Bug: Same call at line 178 with 6 args - OK
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:193 - Bug: find_all_violations() has default root=STORES_ROOT but STORES_ROOT is defined at line 14 as REPO_ROOT / "tinyagentos" - but the repo root is computed as Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent. If this script lives at scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py, then REPO_ROOT = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent would be the repo root, and STORES_ROOT = REPO_ROOT / "tinyagentos" - but the repo structure shows /tmp/kilo/ is empty. This path assumption may be wrong for the actual repo structure.
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:193 - Missing test coverage: No test file exists for this security-critical migration guard script
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:199 - Missing test: main() function has no tests
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:199 - Exit code issue: Returns 0 on clean but prints "retrofit-migration-guard: clean" - should be consistent with error format "RETROFIT MIGRATION VIOLATION:"
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:14 - Path assumption bug: REPO_ROOT = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent assumes script lives at scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py (two levels deep). If script moves or repo structure differs, STORES_ROOT breaks silently
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:52 - Function name inconsistency: Function is _extract_schema_tables (plural) but called as _extract_schema_tables - wait, that's consistent. But line 52 defines _extract_schema_tables and line 168 calls _extract_schema_tables - wait, I see _extract_schema_tables at line 52 but at line 168 it calls _extract_schema_tables(module_schema) - that's the same. Let me re-read... line 52: def _extract_schema_tables(schema_sql: str) -> set[str]: line 168: schema_tables = _extract_schema_tables(module_schema) - OK that's fine.

Wait, I need to re-read the diff more carefully. The diff shows the entire file. Let me check the actual bugs more carefully:

Line 52: def _extract_schema_tables(schema_sql: str) -> set[str]:
Line 57: _check_migration_sql uses schema_sql_normalized (undefined) and violations (undefined)

Yes, those are the two critical bugs. Let me also check line 193 - find_all_violations() default arg root=STORES_ROOT - STORES_ROOT is defined at line 14, so that's fine if the path assumption holds.

Also missing:

  • No tests at all for this security-critical migration guard
  • No __main__ guard test
  • No test for the AST parsing edge cases (string constants, list constants, class-level vs module-level)
    I'll review the code directly from the diff provided.

Add static guard to block retrofit migrations in MIGRATIONS

✨ Enhancement 🕐 20-40 Minutes

Grey Divider

AI Description

• Add a static analysis script to detect retrofit ALTER/INDEX migrations on SCHEMA tables.
• Prevent baseline-at-latest migration stamping from silently skipping required schema changes.
• Fail the check with actionable output when violations are found.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Fold into existing schema guard (check_schema_migrations.py)
  • ➕ Single entrypoint for store schema/migration footgun checks
  • ➕ Reuse existing patterns and reduce duplicated AST-walking code
  • ➖ Mixes two distinct failure modes; output may be harder to interpret
  • ➖ Any future change risks breaking both checks at once
2. Enforce at runtime in run_migrations(_async) (warn/abort on detected retrofits)
  • ➕ Catches dynamic/callable migrations that static analysis can’t resolve
  • ➕ Guarantees protection even if CI gate is bypassed
  • ➖ Harder to reliably detect intent at runtime without more metadata
  • ➖ Adds production-path branching and potential false positives
3. Add targeted regression tests around baseline-at-latest + retrofit patterns
  • ➕ Executable proof that the hazard is prevented
  • ➕ Fits the PR card’s request for tests; protects behavior over time
  • ➖ Tests can miss new store-specific patterns unless kept up-to-date
  • ➖ More setup/fixtures than a static scanner

Recommendation: The PR’s static-guard approach is a good fit (fast, stdlib-only, and consistent with the existing check_schema_migrations.py gate). The main follow-up to consider is wiring it into CI/pre-commit so it actually enforces the invariant; optionally add a small regression test or CI job to address the card’s test expectation.

Add AST-based guard for retrofit migrations in MIGRATIONS

• Introduces a stdlib-only script that walks tinyagentos/ Python files, resolves SCHEMA/MIGRATIONS definitions, and flags MIGRATIONS SQL that ALTERs or adds indexes on tables already created in SCHEMA. Outputs actionable violation messages and exits non-zero to support use as a CI gate, while allowing safe patterns like MIGRATIONS = [(1, SCHEMA)] and CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS.

Reviewed by running it, not by reading it. A gate that has only ever been seen passing is unproven exactly where it counts, so I tested both directions plus the documented exemptions.

Green path. Against the repo as-is: retrofit-migration-guard: clean, exit 0. So it does not block the current tree.

Red path, violation shape 1. Planted a store with ALTER TABLE probe_things ADD COLUMN colour in MIGRATIONS against a table that also appears in SCHEMA:

RETROFIT MIGRATION VIOLATION: ... store 'ProbeStore', migration v2, table 'probe_things'
    -- ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN on a SCHEMA table
    detail: ALTER TABLE probe_things ADD COLUMN colour
    fix: move this migration into a guarded _post_init coroutine

exit 1. It names the store, the migration version, the table, the offending SQL and the fix, which is the difference between a gate someone acts on and one they rerun hoping it turns green.

Red path, violation shape 2. CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_probe_c_name ON probe_c(name) where probe_c is in SCHEMA is also correctly flagged.

Both documented exemptions hold, which matters more than the catches. A gate that fires on correct code blocks every PR:

  • CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS in MIGRATIONS for a genuinely new table: exit 0.
  • The bootstrap pattern MIGRATIONS = [(1, SCHEMA)], including a SCHEMA containing CREATE INDEX: exit 0.

One correction to my own testing, since it is the trap this repo documents. On the last case I printed exit=0 because I piped the script into head -3 and read $? from head, not from the script. The violation was detected; my measurement was wrong. Worth stating because it is the same shape as cmd | tail && echo OK, and I hit it while verifying a gate.

The mechanism is real and worth having. baseline-at-latest stamping a retrofit as applied without executing it is a false success on exactly the databases that need the migration, and static detection is the right layer for it since the failure is invisible at runtime.

Waiting on required CI before merge; no findings to fold.

INDEX detection, and unreadable or syntactically invalid inputs. Exercise the

analyzer behavior.
- Around line 166-170: Update the source-loading and parsing logic in the
relevant migration-analysis function to stop treating OSError,
UnicodeDecodeError, and SyntaxError as an empty violation list: remove
errors="ignore", report or propagate an analysis error, and ensure main() exits
nonzero instead of printing clean when any store cannot be analyzed.
- Around line 172-191: Update the constant-resolution logic for each ClassDef to
build class-local string_constants and list_constants maps from that class body,
including direct string and list assignments and their aliases. Use these maps
when resolving that class’s SCHEMA and MIGRATIONS, while retaining module-level
constants separately so identically named class-local SQL constants do not leak
across classes.
- Around line 49-53: Update the retrofit detection logic around _ADD_COLUMN_RE
and its usages to recognize every ALTER TABLE statement, including column
renames, column drops, and table renames, rather than only ADD operations.
Preserve the existing migration handling while ensuring all supported ALTER

- Around line 113-115: Update _extract_schema_tables and the related table-name

Normalize and support legal SQLite table identifiers.

SQLite table names are case-insensitive, but captured names are compared case-sensitively: CREATE TABLE Users plus ALTER TABLE users ... bypasses the guard. Quoted identifiers such as "users" are legal too but do not match these regexes. Normalize identifiers before comparison and recognize quoted forms.

Also applies to: 136-151

Fail closed when a source file cannot be analyzed.

Line 169 converts read/parse failures into “no violations,” so main() can print clean while skipping a store entirely. Raise/report an analysis error and exit nonzero; also avoid errors="ignore", which can silently alter valid non-UTF-8 Python source before parsing.

Resolve constants within each class scope.

Class-level list constants are never added to list_constants, so MIGRATIONS = _MIGRATIONS is skipped. The shared string_constants map also lets identically named class-local SQL constants resolve to the first class encountered. Build separate symbol maps from each ClassDef.body before resolving that class’s SCHEMA and MIGRATIONS.

Also applies to: 220-235

VERDICT: The script has a solid design for static detection of retrofit migrations, but contains correctness gaps in SQL parsing, bootstrap detection, and AST resolution that will cause false negatives/positives. No tests exist.

  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:56-58_ADD_COLUMN_RE misses ALTER TABLE ... RENAME COLUMN and DROP COLUMN (SQLite 3.35+), though rare. More critically, it doesn't handle quoted table names ("table" or `table`).
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:64-66_CREATE_INDEX_RE requires an index name (\w+) after optional IF NOT EXISTS, but SQLite allows CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS ON table(col) without a name — this pattern won't match.
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:72-74_CREATE_TABLE_RE only captures tables from SCHEMA via regex; it misses CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE, CREATE TEMP TABLE, and tables created via AS SELECT. Tables in SCHEMA using these forms won't be in schema_tables, causing missed retrofit detection.
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:115-118 — Bootstrap detection uses full-string normalized equality. Fails if migration is SCHEMA minus trailing semicolon, or if SCHEMA has multiple statements and migration is a subset. Should compare statement-by-statement or use a proper SQL parser.
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:142-150_resolve_string doesn't handle f-strings (ast.JoinedStr), concatenation (ast.BinOp with +), or ast.Call (e.g., SCHEMA = load_schema()). Multi-line SQL using triple-quoted strings works (Constant), but any dynamic construction is silently skipped.
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:152-158_resolve_list_node doesn't handle list concatenation (ast.BinOp with +), ast.ListComp, or ast.Call returning a list. Migrations built dynamically are skipped without warning.
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:186-190 — Module-level constant collection only processes ast.Assign. Misses annotated assignments (ast.AnnAssign: SCHEMA: str = "...") and ast.AugAssign.
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:200-210 — Class-body constant collection uses ast.walk which visits nested functions/classes, potentially picking up unrelated local constants. Also overwrites module-level constants with same name (line 208 if target.id not in string_constants keeps first, but module-level processed first so class-level ignored — correct but fragile).
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:237-242 — Version resolution only accepts ast.Constant int. Misses ast.Name referencing a version constant (e.g., V1 = 1; MIGRATIONS = [(V1, sql)]).
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:1 — No test file exists. Critical for a guard script — cannot verify detection accuracy or prevent regressions.
  • scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py:289main() prints each violation with RETROFIT MIGRATION VIOLATION: prefix but the Violation.__str__ already includes path/store/version/table. Redundant prefix clutters output.

### Issue description
`scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py` only processes `ast.Assign` nodes when collecting constants and when locating `SCHEMA` / `MIGRATIONS`. In this repo, several stores declare `MIGRATIONS` using annotated assignment syntax (`MIGRATIONS: list = [...]`), which parses as `ast.AnnAssign` and is therefore skipped. This creates false negatives where the guard reports clean even when violations exist.

### Issue Context
You need to treat both `ast.Assign` and `ast.AnnAssign` consistently in:
- collecting `string_constants` and `list_constants`
- detecting module-level `SCHEMA` / `MIGRATIONS`
- detecting class-level `SCHEMA` / `MIGRATIONS`

Blocker, and it is the one thing my earlier review did not check: nothing runs this script.

The PR is +296/-0 in a single file, scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py. No workflow is touched. I grepped .github/ on both dev and this branch: check_retrofit_migrations appears in no workflow at all. Every sibling guard is wired into doc-gate.yml:

scripts/check_doc_gate.py          -> .github/workflows/doc-gate.yml
scripts/check_manifests.py         -> .github/workflows/doc-gate.yml
scripts/check_schema_migrations.py -> .github/workflows/doc-gate.yml

This one is not. So it merges green, it is correct, and CI will never execute it.

That is worse than not having the gate, for the same reason a dropped parameter is worse than a missing feature: everyone downstream believes retrofit migrations are now caught, and the next one lands silently on exactly the pre-existing databases baseline-at-latest skips. A guard nobody invokes is a comment.

Fix is one step, next to its sibling at line 34:

      - name: Retrofit-migration guard (tsk-gqsuah)
        run: python scripts/check_retrofit_migrations.py

Everything else about this holds up, and I verified it by running it rather than reading it, so this is a wiring blocker and not a rewrite:

  • clean against the repo as-is, exit 0
  • red on a planted ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN against a SCHEMA table, exit 1, naming store, migration version, table, SQL and the fix
  • red on a planted CREATE INDEX against a SCHEMA table
  • both documented exemptions hold: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS for a new table, and the bootstrap MIGRATIONS = [(1, SCHEMA)] pattern, both exit 0

Add the workflow step and this is ready. Worth adding a line to the docstring's Usage section noting which workflow invokes it, so the next person can tell at a glance that it is wired.

Reviewed at code level, including running the guard against extracted fixtures. BLOCKED. @hognek fix-forward on the existing branch.

  1. The guard is blind to every real store in the repo. It only collects SCHEMA/MIGRATIONS from ast.Assign nodes, but the repo style is annotated assignment (MIGRATIONS: list = [...], i.e. ast.AnnAssign): base_store.py:33, worker_heartbeat.py:49, mesh_sync.py:56, invite_store.py:39. Verified empirically: a synthetic retrofit in plain-Assign style is caught, the identical violation in the repo's actual AnnAssign style passes clean, exit 0. The gate ran green on CI because it analyzed nothing. Handle AnnAssign everywhere Assign is handled, module and class level, including the constant collection.

  2. Nothing invokes the script. doc-gate.yml runs only check_schema_migrations.py. Wire this one in next to it, like tsk-mjiicy [OPEN] CI check: detect a PR that silently DELETES merged #2180 does for its gate.

  3. No tests, against the card's explicit criteria. Add tests/test_check_retrofit_migrations.py with at least one repo-style AnnAssign violation fixture, prove it red before the fix.

Ignore the nemotron-kilo review claiming schema_sql_normalized and violations are undefined: hallucinated, both are defined. The qodo and coderabbit findings are real; the fix-text-vs-kind mismatch (CREATE INDEX gets the ADD COLUMN remedy) and fail-open on SyntaxError/OSError can go to a follow-up card.
