ragradar-core 0.1.0

Shared schema, store, and target parsing for the ragradar observability system

ragradar-core

Shared kernel for the ragradar observability system: the run-record schema, the single SQLite store, and the sNrN target parser. ragradar-capture, ragradar, and ragradar-evaluate all depend on it — it depends on nothing.

You normally do not import this directly. Instrument pipelines with ragradar_capture, evaluate with ragradar_evaluate — both re-export the schema dataclasses. ragradar_core exists so those packages share one store contract instead of three copies of it.

Zero-dependency guarantee

ragradar_core imports only the Python standard library (sqlite3, dataclasses, json, re, pathlib, datetime). This is enforced by a test (tests/test_zero_deps.py) that imports the package in a subprocess and asserts nothing outside the stdlib was loaded.

What lives here

Module	Contents
ragradar_core.schema	RunRecord and its child dataclasses (ChunkRecord, TokenBudget, TokenUsage, Turn, CacheEvent, ToolCallRecord), all tolerant of unknown kwargs
ragradar_core.store	store location, schema + migrations, and every persistence primitive (runs, eval scores, benchmark, policies)
ragradar_core.targets	parse_target_id("s4r3") -> (4, 3) — the one sNrN parser

Environment setup contract

ragradar_core.store.connect() guarantees the environment before returning a connection:

1. ~/.ragradar/ exists (created if missing),
2. ~/.ragradar/runs.db exists (created if missing),
3. the schema is at the latest version — fresh databases are created directly at the latest version; databases written by older package versions are migrated in place.

Any entry point — a library call, a CLI command, an example script — works on a fresh machine with no prior CLI invocation.

Schema version + migration story

One constant, ragradar_core.store.SCHEMA_VERSION (currently "3"), recorded in the meta table. The migration chain walks old databases forward on first connect:

• v1 → v2: adds eval_scores / risk_score / evaluated_at columns to runs; creates the benchmark and policies tables.
• v2 → v3: creates the runs_fts FTS5 index over run queries (with insert/update/delete sync triggers, backfilled from existing rows) and drops the now-redundant idx_runs_query index.

A database reporting a version this package doesn't know raises RuntimeError rather than guessing.

DB location and layout

The store lives at ~/.ragradar/runs.db (SQLite, WAL mode).

Table	Columns
meta	key, value — holds schema_version
sessions	session_id, title, pipeline, created_at
runs	session_id, run_seq, query, pipeline, created_at, run_data (JSON RunRecord), eval_scores (JSON), risk_score, evaluated_at
benchmark	pipeline, factor, threshold, correlation, sample_count, updated_at
policies	pipeline, policy_data (JSON), updated_at
runs_fts	FTS5 index over runs.query

Runs are addressed as s{session_id}r{run_seq} (e.g. s2r3) everywhere — "run" is the data noun; capturing is the verb, and belongs to ragradar-capture.
