Conversation
Columns and saved measures share one namespace but take opposite syntax: a column needs a colon suffix, a saved measure must not carry one. Neither error said which kind the name actually was, so a caller that guessed wrong was told to try the syntax that fails for the other kind. Observed in production. An agent asked for `csat`, which does not exist — the measure is `csat_pct`. The bare-name error told it to use colon syntax, so it retried `nps:avg`, then applied `:sum` to every field, which broke the saved measures that had been resolving correctly. Both messages now consult the other namespace before giving advice: * a bare name that is no saved measure suggests the closest one, rather than asserting that colon syntax is the fix; * `measure:agg` on a saved measure says to drop the suffix, instead of reporting the measure as a missing column; * an unknown column suggests the closest column or measure. Threading the saved-measure names into the parser also covers the transform and mixed-arithmetic paths, so the suggestion works at any nesting depth. Also drops the "`advanced_search` extra not installed" warning from search responses. It reports a deployment configuration the caller cannot act on, so it goes to the operator log instead.

Two findings from CodeRabbit on #315, both correct. `ModelMeasure.name` is optional, so building the close-match candidates from every `m.name` could sort `None` against strings. A model validator rejects unnamed measures at construction, but direct mutation of `model.measures` bypasses it — the same route an existing test uses. The candidate set now drops unnamed measures, via a helper both messages share. A third copy of the old wording lived in the mixed-arithmetic path, which this PR had missed: `round(amount, 2)` reached it and still reported "Bare measure name ... Use colon syntax". It now names what the column needs instead, and the two integration expectations follow. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Both CodeRabbit findings addressed in 0bd1462. Outside-diff finding on the mixed-arithmetic path — correct, and it caught a real gap. I had replaced two copies of the old wording in Rather than revert those expectations, I gave that site the same treatment as the other two — it has the model in scope, so it can say what the name actually is: The two integration matchers now expect Verification. I can't run the suite on this machine, so I exercised the paths directly: all six assertions produce the expected message, and all 45 formulas from a real customer semantic layer still parse unchanged. |
The missing-numpy branch reports the same packaging gap as the is_available() check, reached by a different route, so it belongs in the operator log rather than the response. The three warnings that survive are the ones a caller can act on: no embedding rows, embed failure, and dim mismatch. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The problem
Columns and saved measures share one namespace but take opposite syntax: a column needs a colon suffix (
revenue:sum), a saved measure must not carry one (aov). Neither error message said which kind the name actually was, so a caller that guessed wrong got pointed at the syntax that fails for the other kind.This is from a real production session. An agent asked for
csat— which does not exist, the measure iscsat_pct:csatBare measure name 'csat' is not valid. Use colon syntax (e.g., 'csat:sum', 'csat:avg').nps:avgColumn 'nps' not found in model 'mart_kpis_and_targets'cmrr_new_business:sumColumn 'cmrr_new_business' not found in model 'mart_kpis_and_targets'The first message is wrong twice over:
csatis not a measure at all, and colon syntax is not the fix. Following it, the agent added:avg, hit "column not found", escalated to:sumon every field, and broke the saved measures that had been resolving correctly. Eight failed calls before it recovered.The fix
Each message now consults the other namespace before giving advice:
csat'csat' is not a saved measure. Did you mean 'csat_pct'? Reference a saved measure by its bare name, or aggregate a column with colon syntax (e.g., 'csat:sum'). For COUNT(*), use '*:count'.aov:sum'aov' is a saved measure on model 'orders', not a column, so it takes no aggregation. Reference it as 'aov' instead of 'aov:sum'.revenu:sumColumn 'revenu' not found in model 'orders'. Did you mean 'revenue'?Suggestions use
difflib.get_close_matches, matching the existing pattern for unknown aggregation names a few lines below.Threading the saved-measure names into
_parse_nodealso carries them through_parse_mixed_arithmeticand_replace_calls_in_arith, so the suggestion works at any nesting depth (cumsum(x:sum) / aov_nett).Also: the
advanced_searchwarningEmbeddingRetriever.retrievereturned this to callers:That reports a deployment configuration the caller cannot act on, so it now goes to the operator log and the response carries no warning. The other three skip reasons (no embedding rows, embed failure, dim mismatch) still warn — those are actionable.
Testing
Existing assertions that matched
"Bare measure name"are updated to the new phrasing. Four new cases intest_named_measures.pycover the near-miss measure, the measure-with-suffix, the near-miss column, and the unchanged unknown-name path.I did not run the suite locally — this machine can't carry it. Verified by exercising the same code paths directly: all four new cases produce the expected message, the mixed-arithmetic and transform paths raise
ValueErrorrather thanNameError, and all 45 formulas from a real customer semantic layer still parse.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
