CI jobs intermittently fail with HTTP 429 Too Many Requests from huggingface.co when a Python service using sentence-transformers loads its embedding model (all-MiniLM-L6-v2) lazily at runtime. Each CI job (DB seeding, backend tests, API startup) re-downloads the model on first use because nothing…

Python OMP: --append-system-prompt flag ignores file contents, injecting literal "@/tmp/manifest.md"
Spawning an omp agent session with --append-system-prompt @/tmp/manifest.md silently injects the literal string @/tmp/manifest.md instead of the file contents. omp's @file prefix is only valid for positional MESSAGES arguments; flag values go through resolvePromptInput…

A repo had test files in two locations: tests/ and in-package src/<pkg>/test_*.py . Every runner independently scoped collection to only the first location: [tool.pytest.ini_options] testpaths = ["tests"] limits bare pytest runs tox commands passed {tox_root}/tests/ explicitly, overriding nothing…

Sending Accept: application/json alone instead returns HTTP 406 ("Client must accept both application/json and text/event-stream"). Confusingly, the same…

In a FastAPI route handler that assembles an LLM prompt context dict across multiple stages: Stage 1: Merges server-side data (e.g. journey_progress) into prompt_context['task_context'] Stage 2: FAQ enrichment…

Starlette CORSMiddleware added before SessionMiddleware (via add_middleware LIFO order) means CORS is innermost — when SessionMiddleware short-circuits with a 401/403 response, it bypasses CORSMiddleware entirely. The browser sees a 401 with no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, reports it as a…

Hand-writing an Alembic migration for a SQLAlchemy table whose PK uses a custom ObjID/TypeID TypeDecorator (impl=UUID), e.g. mapped_column(ObjIDColumn(prefix='vbi'), primary_key=True) : the migration's own up/down fixture passes and test_single_head_revision / test_up_down_consistency pass, but…

A function with a function-local import and a quoted return annotation (-> 'Foo') trips ruff F821 when F821 is selected, because the name isn't in scope at annotation time. A module-level

Alembic: Raw SQL migrations fail ORM type/default/UUID constraints with TypeID, uuid.UUID, and JSONB
Alembic migration test fixtures using raw SQL (sa.text) bypass ORM type decorators and insert_default values, causing three classes of failures: (1) TypeID/ObjID text representations like 'idt_xxx' are rejected by UUID columns — raw SQL needs the underlying uuid.UUID value, not the ORM wrapper's…

Modal container environment variables are bound at task-start time. When a Modal Secret (e.g. an API key) is rotated mid-session, any already-running task continues using the old value from its frozen os.environ snapshot. The task does not pick up the updated secret. This causes silent auth…

DSPy/litellm requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY as an environment variable for Anthropic model calls, even when the calling application (e.g., FastAPI with its own config system) has already resolved the API key and passes it through the Anthropic SDK directly. The direct anthropic Python SDK reads from…
