From f721d43f435f3eb05b13022273c6fb5a8b056ddc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Manning Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2026 23:39:18 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Add examples/supported/: examples tested as product behaviour (#104) `examples/` holds 111 pipelines of which 3 compile. They are the project's primary documentation surface, so a reader has no way to tell which parts of the syntax are real. examples/supported/ is the answer: a small set that is tested as product behaviour. Every file in it must validate, execute through the CLI, execute through the Python API, produce the same normalised result document from both surfaces, and produce the artifacts and declared outputs its expectations record. tests/test_supported_examples.py enforces all five and fails if a file is added without an entry declaring what it should do, so the set cannot grow past its coverage. Five to start, each exercising semantics pinned in the preceding PRs: typed parameters and declared outputs; parallel fan-out with a dependent join; `condition:` with `on_false` routing and skipped steps; timeout, bounded retry and `on_failure: continue`; step-result references. 06_failure_policy exits 1 on purpose. Not every supported example is a success case, and the expectations table records the intended exit code rather than assuming zero -- a pipeline containing a failing step is supposed to say so. Writing 04_conditions found two validator defects, both of which would have hit any user writing the documented conditional syntax: - `{{ content | length > 10 }}` was reported as an unknown filter called "length > 10". The filter name was taken as everything after the pipe up to a parenthesis, so any operator following a filter became part of its name. It is now the leading identifier. - A condition referencing a pipeline *parameter* was reported as a dependency on a non-existent task. The dependency validators only ever received the task list, so they could not know that `content` was a declared parameter rather than a missing step. Declared parameter, input and loop-variable names are now passed in. Neither fix moved the existing catalog: still 108 failing, now out of 116. Those failures are elsewhere, and this PR does not claim otherwise. 10_model_fallback from the planned set is deliberately absent. There is no model fallback -- select_model raises rather than substituting a model the pipeline did not ask for -- and an example must not be written for behaviour that does not exist. The README records why, along with the other planned-but-absent numbers, so the gaps read as deliberate. Blocking suite 515 -> 541 passed, 13 skipped, 0 failed, 0 xfailed. Collection 3310 -> 3336.
