Summary

Serverless warehouses return ARROW_STREAM + INLINE results as base64 Arrow IPC in result.attachment rather than result.data_array. The previous code path discarded inline data for any ARROW_STREAM response (designed for EXTERNAL_LINKS), so these warehouses silently returned empty results.

This PR makes the analytics plugin work across classic and serverless warehouses by handling both dispositions for ARROW_STREAM, decoding inline Arrow IPC attachments server-side, and falling back to JSON_ARRAY when a warehouse rejects ARROW_STREAM + INLINE.

Changes

  • Format model collapsed to API enum names: two formats — JSON_ARRAY and ARROW_STREAM — replacing the prior JSON / ARROW / ARROW_STREAM triple. ARROW_STREAM now supports both INLINE and EXTERNAL_LINKS dispositions.
    • Note: these strings (JSON_ARRAY, ARROW_STREAM, INLINE, EXTERNAL_LINKS) are the verbatim values defined by the Statement Execution API — we no longer translate to/from local aliases. Confirmed against the Databricks SDK Go source: Format (JSON_ARRAY / ARROW_STREAM / CSV) and Disposition (INLINE / EXTERNAL_LINKS). See also the API reference.
  • Inline Arrow IPC decoding: _transformDataArray detects result.attachment and decodes via apache-arrow's tableFromIPC, producing the same row-object shape as JSON_ARRAY regardless of warehouse backend. apache-arrow@21.1.0 added as a server dependency.
  • Format fallback: ARROW_STREAM + INLINE requests automatically fall back to JSON_ARRAY if a classic warehouse rejects them. Explicit format requests are respected without fallback.
  • Default remains JSON_ARRAY for compatibility.
  • UI hooks updated to use json_array / arrow_stream naming in useAnalyticsQuery, useChartData, and chart types.

Tests

Added ~147 unit tests covering coverage gaps surfaced during the rework:

  • connectors/genie/tests/client.test.ts (new, 786 lines)
  • connectors/sql-warehouse/tests/client.test.ts (new, 286 lines) — uses real base64 Arrow IPC captured from a live serverless warehouse
  • context/tests/service-context.test.ts (new, 457 lines)
  • plugins/files/tests/upload-and-write.test.ts (new, 1245 lines)
  • stream/tests/stream-registry.test.ts (new, 582 lines)
  • plugins/analytics/tests/analytics.test.ts (+217)

Coverage deltas: service-context 7%→100%, stream-registry 32%→100%, genie connector 61%→97%, files plugin 69%→89%.

Test plan

  • Deploy an app against a serverless warehouse that returns ARROW_STREAM + INLINE attachments — verify useAnalyticsQuery returns rows
  • Deploy against a classic warehouse — verify JSON_ARRAY default works and ARROW_STREAM + EXTERNAL_LINKS still works
  • Verify automatic fallback when a warehouse rejects ARROW_STREAM + INLINE

Fixes #242

in theory arrow is the same as arrow_stream, so I'm not following what's the problem?

Important: The formats ARROW_STREAM and CSV are supported only with EXTERNAL_LINKS disposition. JSON_ARRAY is supported in INLINE and EXTERNAL_LINKS disposition.

so before changing anything this was already supporting arrow, can I know what's the case where this was failing? I would like to see it

Seeing that there's a case of Arrow + inline, let's refactor what we had instead of introducing a new format. Let's change the format "ARROW" to "ARROW_STREAM" and allow it to use both "EXTERNAL_LINKS" and "INLINE". Then for now let's keep JSON + inline as the default. This might require some UI hooks changes too

Hi Mario — thanks for the review, you were right on both counts. I've rebased and reworked the PR:

What's happening: Serverless warehouses return format: ARROW_STREAM with disposition: INLINE, putting base64 Arrow IPC data in result.attachment instead of data_array. The docs say ARROW_STREAM only works with EXTERNAL_LINKS, but serverless violates that — and the existing code silently returned empty results for these responses.

What I changed (per your suggestion):

  • Collapsed the three formats (JSON, ARROW, ARROW_STREAM) into two that match the API enums: JSON_ARRAY and ARROW_STREAM
  • ARROW_STREAM now supports both INLINE (with attachment decoding) and EXTERNAL_LINKS dispositions
  • Default remains JSON_ARRAY as you requested
  • Added format fallback: if ARROW_STREAM+INLINE is rejected by a classic warehouse, it falls back to JSON_ARRAY automatically
  • Updated the UI hooks to use json_array / arrow_stream naming

Also added 147 new unit tests covering major coverage gaps (service-context 7%→100%, stream-registry 32%→100%, genie connector 61%→97%, files plugin 69%→89%). All 1711 tests pass.

Cleaned up the branch — it's now TS-only, no unrelated changes.

Some serverless warehouses only support ARROW_STREAM with INLINE
disposition, but the analytics plugin only offered JSON_ARRAY (INLINE)
and ARROW_STREAM (EXTERNAL_LINKS). This adds a new "ARROW_STREAM"
format option that uses INLINE disposition, making the plugin
compatible with these warehouses.

Fixes #242
Tests verify:
- ARROW_STREAM format passes INLINE disposition + ARROW_STREAM format
- ARROW format passes EXTERNAL_LINKS disposition + ARROW_STREAM format
- Default JSON format does not pass disposition or format overrides
The server-side ARROW_STREAM format added in the previous commit was
not exposed to the frontend or typegen:

- Add "ARROW_STREAM" to AnalyticsFormat in appkit-ui hooks
- Add "arrow_stream" to DataFormat in chart types
- Handle "arrow_stream" in useChartData's resolveFormat()
- Make typegen resilient to ARROW_STREAM-only warehouses by
  retrying DESCRIBE QUERY without format when JSON_ARRAY is rejected

…compatibility

ARROW_STREAM with INLINE disposition is the only format that works
across all warehouse types, including serverless warehouses that reject
JSON_ARRAY. Change the default from JSON to ARROW_STREAM throughout:

- Server: defaults.ts, analytics plugin request handler
- Client: useAnalyticsQuery, UseAnalyticsQueryOptions, useChartData
- Tests: update assertions for new default

JSON and ARROW formats remain available via explicit format parameter.

When using the default ARROW_STREAM format, the analytics plugin now
automatically falls back through formats if the warehouse rejects one:
ARROW_STREAM → JSON → ARROW.

This handles warehouses that only support a subset of format/disposition
combinations without requiring users to know their warehouse's
capabilities. Explicit format requests (JSON, ARROW) are respected
without fallback.

Previously, _transformDataArray unconditionally called updateWithArrowStatus
for any ARROW_STREAM response, which discards inline data and returns only
statement_id + status. This was designed for EXTERNAL_LINKS (where data is
fetched separately) but broke INLINE disposition where data is in data_array.

Changes:
- _transformDataArray now checks for data_array before routing to the
  EXTERNAL_LINKS path: if data_array is present, it falls through to the
  standard row-to-object transform.
- JSON format now explicitly sends JSON_ARRAY + INLINE rather than relying
  on connector defaults. This prevents the connector default format from
  leaking into explicit JSON requests.
- Connector defaults reverted to JSON_ARRAY for backward compatibility with
  classic warehouses (the analytics plugin sets formats explicitly).
- Added connector-level tests for _transformDataArray covering ARROW_STREAM
  + INLINE, ARROW_STREAM + EXTERNAL_LINKS, and JSON_ARRAY paths.

Some serverless warehouses return ARROW_STREAM + INLINE results as base64
Arrow IPC in `result.attachment` rather than `result.data_array`. This adds
server-side decoding using apache-arrow's tableFromIPC to convert the
attachment into row objects, producing the same response shape as JSON_ARRAY
regardless of warehouse backend.

This abstracts a Databricks internal implementation detail (different
warehouses returning different response formats) so app developers get a
consistent `type: "result"` response with named row objects.

Changes:
- Add apache-arrow@21.1.0 as a server dependency (already used client-side)
- _transformDataArray detects `attachment` field and decodes via tableFromIPC
- Connector tests use real base64 Arrow IPC captured from a live serverless
  warehouse, covering: classic JSON_ARRAY, classic EXTERNAL_LINKS,
  serverless INLINE attachment, data_array fallback, and edge cases

Fixes issues found by parallel review across Claude harsh-reviewer, GPT 5.4
xhigh, and Gemini 3.1 Pro on PR #256.

- Validate `format` at the route boundary (reject anything other than
  JSON_ARRAY / ARROW_STREAM with 400) so legacy `"JSON"` / `"ARROW"` callers
  fail loudly instead of silently falling through to ARROW_STREAM.
- Disable cache for ARROW_STREAM queries — EXTERNAL_LINKS pre-signed URLs
  expire much sooner than the default 1h TTL, so caching the statement_id
  hands out dead URLs on cache hits.
- Re-check `signal.aborted` before issuing the EXTERNAL_LINKS fallback —
  previously an aborted query would still bill a second statement that the
  client never reads.
- Replace fragile `msg.includes("ARROW_STREAM") || msg.includes("INLINE")`
  format-error detection with `_isInlineArrowUnsupported()` that requires
  both keywords plus a marker phrase, or a structured `error_code` of
  INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE / NOT_IMPLEMENTED. Reduces false-positives on
  legitimate SQL/permission errors that mention those words.
- Normalize BigInt values from `row.toJSON()` when decoding inline Arrow
  attachments — `apache-arrow` returns BigInt for INT64/DECIMAL columns,
  which JSON.stringify rejects when the SSE writer serializes the response.
- Cap inline Arrow attachment decode at 64 MiB and wrap decode in try/catch
  so malformed payloads surface a typed ExecutionError instead of a generic
  500.
- Detect external_links explicitly in `_transformDataArray` rather than
  treating any "no attachment + no data_array" response as EXTERNAL_LINKS.
  Previously an empty INLINE response would return a phantom statement_id
  the client could not fetch.
- Remove the typegen DESCRIBE QUERY fallback that retried without `format`
  and got ARROW_STREAM responses with no `data_array`, silently degrading
  generated types to `unknown`. The surrounding allSettled already converts
  thrown errors to `unknown` types via `generateUnknownResultQuery`.

useAnalyticsQuery({ format: "ARROW_STREAM" }) is typed as TypedArrowTable,
but the previous implementation decoded inline IPC attachments to row objects
on the server and emitted them as { type: "result", data: rows }. Same
requested format produced a TypedArrowTable for EXTERNAL_LINKS warehouses
and a plain Row[] for INLINE/serverless warehouses, breaking direct callers
that invoked Arrow Table methods.

This commit makes ARROW_STREAM always deliver an Arrow Table to the client:

- SQL connector forwards the base64 IPC attachment through unchanged (with
  a 64 MiB size cap) instead of decoding it server-side.
- Analytics route emits a new SSE message { type: "arrow_inline",
  attachment: <base64> } when ARROW_STREAM + INLINE returns an attachment.
- useAnalyticsQuery decodes the base64 payload via the existing
  ArrowClient.processArrowBuffer pipeline, producing a Table with the same
  runtime shape as the EXTERNAL_LINKS path.
- Drops apache-arrow from the appkit (server) dependencies — decoding now
  lives only in appkit-ui where Arrow was already loaded.

Tests:
- Updated client.test.ts to assert the connector preserves the attachment.
- Added a size-cap test for oversized inline attachments.
- Added analytics.test.ts coverage for: arrow_inline SSE emission, format
  validation rejecting unknown values with 400, and aborted-signal
  short-circuit before fallback retry.
- Added use-analytics-query.test.ts (new) covering arrow_inline decoding,
  decode-failure error path, and JSON_ARRAY result handling.

Some serverless warehouses reject JSON_ARRAY + INLINE for DESCRIBE QUERY
and return ARROW_STREAM by default. The previous behavior just removed
the broken fallback, which meant typegen produced `unknown` types for
those warehouses' queries.

This restores the fallback (retry without explicit format if JSON_ARRAY
is rejected) and teaches `convertToQueryType` to decode an inline base64
Arrow IPC attachment when `data_array` is empty. The DESCRIBE QUERY
result is itself a table with rows shaped (col_name, data_type, comment),
so the decode reads `table.toArray().map(r => r.toJSON())` rather than
`table.schema.fields` — reading the schema would yield bogus types
(every query would come out shaped like the metadata columns).

Re-adds apache-arrow as an appkit dependency (only the typegen uses it;
the runtime SDK does not).

Tests cover: schema extraction from data rows, lowercase type
normalization, data_array taking precedence when both are present, and
graceful degradation on malformed attachments.

Supersedes #316.

Tightens correctness gaps surfaced by the second ACE review pass
(GPT 5.4 + Gemini 3.1 Pro + Claude harsh-reviewer):

- _isInlineArrowUnsupported now requires both INLINE and ARROW_STREAM in
  the message regardless of whether a structured error_code is present.
  The previous shape would fall back on any INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE that
  mentioned just one keyword.
- useAnalyticsQuery validates that arrow_inline messages carry a
  non-empty string attachment before invoking atob, so a malformed
  payload surfaces a clear error instead of a confusing decode crash.
- ARROW_STREAM cache TTL is capped at 600s rather than disabling the
  cache outright. Pre-signed EXTERNAL_LINKS URLs typically expire in
  ~15min, so 10min is a safe upper bound that still preserves caching
  for INLINE attachment responses.
- Type generator's JSON_ARRAY-rejection retry now (a) requires both
  JSON_ARRAY and a marker phrase before retrying, mirroring the
  analytics-plugin tightening, and (b) explicitly requests
  ARROW_STREAM + INLINE on the retry rather than letting the warehouse
  default kick in. Previously the warehouse default could return
  EXTERNAL_LINKS, in which case neither data_array nor attachment were
  populated and types silently degraded to `unknown`.
- _validateArrowAttachment strips whitespace and accounts for `=`
  padding so the size check is exact rather than an upper bound. Also
  uses `Math.floor` so the cap matches the actual decoded byte count.

Tests:
- New: structured error_code path triggers fallback when both keywords
  are present.
- New: regression — error mentioning only one of INLINE / ARROW_STREAM
  must not escalate to EXTERNAL_LINKS even if the retry interceptor
  attempts the query multiple times.
- New: hook rejects arrow_inline with attachment values that are
  undefined / null / empty / non-string / object, never invoking
  atob or processArrowBuffer on bad input.

The hook is typed `TypedArrowTable` for ARROW_STREAM, but empty results
(zero rows / no inline attachment / no external_links) previously fell
through to `{ type: "result", ...result }` with no `data` field. Direct
useAnalyticsQuery callers expecting a Table would crash on `.numRows`
or `.getChild()`.

This commit makes ARROW_STREAM truly contract-consistent: when the
response has a manifest schema but no row payload, the connector
synthesizes a zero-row Arrow IPC stream from the schema and stashes it
in `result.attachment`. The existing arrow_inline path emits it to the
client, which decodes it as a real Arrow Table — same shape as a
non-empty result, just with `numRows === 0` and empty vectors per
column.

A new module `connectors/sql-warehouse/arrow-schema.ts` parses
Databricks SQL `type_text` values into Apache Arrow `DataType`s. It is
fully exhaustive:
  - Scalars (STRING, BIGINT, DECIMAL, TIMESTAMP, BOOLEAN, …)
  - Parameterized: DECIMAL(p,s), VARCHAR(n), CHAR(n)
  - Nested: ARRAY<T>, MAP<K,V>, STRUCT<f1:T1, f2:T2 COMMENT '…', …>
  - INTERVAL year-month and day-time variants
  - Backtick-quoted struct field names (incl. `` `` `` escapes)
  - Recursive nesting (verified up to MAP<STRING,ARRAY<STRUCT<…>>>)
  - NOT NULL annotations on struct fields

Unknown / unparseable types degrade to Utf8 rather than throwing, so
future Databricks types don't crash empty-result handling.

Tests: 72 cases covering every scalar, parameterization edge case,
deeply nested combinations, struct field annotations / comments /
backtick escapes, INTERVAL variants, and IPC round-trip. 7 connector
tests covering attachment synthesis + the cases where it must NOT
synthesize (external_links present, schema absent).

The previous SSE event-size limits (1 MiB on both server and client)
were below the connector's 64 MiB cap on inline Arrow IPC attachments.
Anything between 1 MiB and 64 MiB would pass the connector check but
get rejected at the SSE layer with a confusing "Buffer size exceeded"
error. The 64 MiB cap was effectively unreachable.

This commit aligns all three caps at 8 MiB:

- `streamDefaults.maxEventSize` (server SSE event cap)
- `connectSSE.maxBufferSize` (client SSE buffer cap)
- `MAX_INLINE_ATTACHMENT_BYTES` (connector inline attachment cap)

8 MiB is well above what analytics queries return in practice (most are
well under 1 MiB), gives ~3x headroom for compact ARROW_STREAM payloads,
and stays below the Databricks Statement Execution API hard limit on
INLINE disposition (~25 MiB). Anything larger than 8 MiB now fails fast
at the connector with a typed `ExecutionError`, and ARROW_STREAM falls
back to EXTERNAL_LINKS which has no size pressure.

A follow-up draft PR explores stash-and-serve via /arrow-result/:jobId
as a stronger architectural solution that removes the SSE size cap
entirely.

jamesbroadhead added a commit that referenced this pull request Apr 28, 2026
DRAFT proposal. Replaces the `arrow_inline` SSE message type from #256
with an out-of-band delivery mechanism. Motivation: remove the SSE
event-size cap as a constraint on inline Arrow result size.

Architecture
------------
ARROW_STREAM responses are now delivered uniformly:
1. The connector returns the base64 Arrow IPC attachment in
   `result.attachment` for INLINE responses (unchanged from #256).
2. The analytics route base64-decodes it once, stashes the resulting
   buffer in `InlineArrowStash` (bounded LRU + TTL), and emits the
   same `{ type: "arrow", statement_id }` SSE message that
   EXTERNAL_LINKS already uses — with a synthetic id prefixed
   `inline-`.
3. The client (unchanged from main) calls `/arrow-result/:jobId` for
   any `type: "arrow"` message.
4. The route handler checks the stash first; if the id has the
   `inline-` prefix and is still present, it serves the bytes from
   memory. Otherwise it falls through to the existing warehouse
   fetch path for real EXTERNAL_LINKS statement_ids.

The `arrow_inline` SSE message type, the client-side base64 decode
helper, and the SSE buffer-size bumps from #256 all go away.

Reasoning
---------
SSE was designed for streams of small control messages. Pushing
multi-MB Arrow IPC bytes through it has two unavoidable costs:
- single-event memory ceiling on both server and client,
- proxy/load-balancer compatibility issues for large events.

Bumping the SSE buffer (5b in the design discussion) raises both
caps but doesn't fix the architectural mismatch. This PR moves bulk
bytes to HTTP, where they belong:
- HTTP/2 streaming, gzip, and browser background-fetch all work
  naturally.
- SSE buffer can stay at the conservative 1 MiB default.
- The wire protocol unifies INLINE and EXTERNAL_LINKS — the client
  has a single code path for ARROW_STREAM data.
- Inline result size cap goes back up to the Databricks API limit
  (25 MiB) instead of being constrained by SSE.

Tradeoffs
---------
- Server holds IPC buffers in memory until the client fetches them
  (one-shot `take()` removes on read; passive TTL evicts otherwise).
  For 100 entries × 25 MiB worst case, that's 2.5 GiB peak — but
  steady state is much smaller because entries are removed as soon
  as the client fetches.
- Single-process only. A multi-server deployment would need a
  shared store (Redis or equivalent) keyed on the synthetic id. The
  stash interface is small enough to swap implementations.
- One-shot reads mean the client cannot retry a failed fetch.
  Acceptable for our use case (warehouse query returned data, the
  hook either succeeds in fetching or surfaces a generic error).

Status
------
DRAFT: opened to discuss the architectural direction before landing.
#256 ships with the simpler 5b SSE-buffer-bump approach (8 MiB) which
is sufficient for the realistic analytics range. This proposal is the
cleaner long-term solution if the team wants to invest in the
server-side state.

#2 — replace Object.defineProperty(signal, "aborted", ...) with
vi.spyOn(signal, "aborted", "get").mockReturnValue(true). The native
AbortSignal.aborted is a non-configurable getter; the previous form
worked under vitest's Node env but could throw "Cannot redefine
property" on stricter engines. The getter spy is vitest's idiomatic
way to mock non-configurable accessors and works regardless of
configurability.

#3 — defensive client-side size cap on arrow_inline attachments
(8 MiB), mirroring the connector cap. Prevents a misconfigured proxy
or future server bug from pushing the browser into allocating an
unbounded Uint8Array. Both caps carry a comment pointing to PR #320
which removes the arrow_inline SSE path entirely; that PR can drop
the client cap and raise the connector cap to the API's 25 MiB hard
limit when it lands.

Tests: 1 new — hook rejects oversized arrow_inline payloads before
decodeBase64 or processArrowBuffer is called.

The fallback decision in analytics.ts previously depended on substring-
matching warehouse error messages, which is brittle against any change
in error wording from the SDK or warehouse.

The SDK already exposes a structured ApiError with `errorCode`, and the
warehouse's `status.error.error_code` is a typed enum on the SDK's
ServiceError. Both signals were being thrown away when we wrapped them
into ExecutionError. This commit propagates the code through:

- ExecutionError gains a `readonly errorCode?: string` field and
  `statementFailed(message, errorCode?)` accepts it.
- The connector forwards `status.error?.error_code` at both Path B
  sites (initial SUCCEEDED/FAILED switch and the polling loop).
- The connector's catch-all wrap detects an SDK ApiError-shaped object
  via duck-typing on `errorCode` and forwards it through Path A too.
- _isInlineArrowUnsupported now checks
  `err instanceof ExecutionError && err.errorCode === "INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE"`
  as the primary signal. The substring backstop remains for legacy SDK
  builds that don't surface structured codes, but it's secondary.

Net effect: format-rejection detection becomes a structured-code check
that's stable across error-message wording changes. Substring matching
shrinks to a backstop role.

Tests: new — assert the route falls back correctly when the connector
hands up a structured ExecutionError, not just a substring-matchable
message.

Replaces the loosely-typed Promise<{ type: string; [key: string]: any }>
return type with a Zod-validated discriminated union shared between the
server and the client.

The schema lives in `shared/src/sse/analytics.ts` and is the single
source of truth for what messages can flow over /api/analytics/query:
  - result        — JSON_ARRAY rows (or empty results)
  - arrow         — ARROW_STREAM via /arrow-result/:jobId
  - arrow_inline  — ARROW_STREAM with base64 IPC bytes inline

Server side:
  - _executeWithFormatFallback now returns AnalyticsSseMessage.
  - makeResultMessage / makeArrowMessage / makeArrowInlineMessage
    builders enforce required fields at construction time. A typo on
    a key fails to compile.

Client side (useAnalyticsQuery):
  - Validates the parsed JSON via AnalyticsSseMessage.safeParse before
    dispatching to a handler. Type narrows correctly across branches —
    no more `parsed.attachment as string` casts.
  - A malformed payload (server bug or version skew) surfaces a clear
    error instead of allocating a buffer from `undefined` or treating
    a missing field as data.

Adds zod 3.23.8 to `shared`. CLAUDE.md already lists zod as a key
dependency for runtime validation, but the codebase didn't actually
use it anywhere — this lands the first instance.

Tests:
  - 13 new schema tests in shared (each variant accept/reject, builder
    round-trips).
  - Existing analytics route + hook tests pass unchanged because the
    schema accepts the message shapes the route was already producing.
  - One hook test was rewritten: bad-attachment cases now hit the
    schema validator (which rejects non-string / empty / null) and
    surface the same generic error as before.

The "logs a warning and yields no columns on malformed attachment"
test name promised a logger.warn assertion but only checked
hasResults === false. A regression that silently produced empty types
(no telemetry signal) would still pass.

Mock the logger module via vi.hoisted + vi.mock and assert:
  - logger.warn fires with the expected message,
  - the generated type is the unknown-result fallback (contains
    "unknown"),
  - DESCRIBE QUERY metadata column names ("col_name", "data_type")
    don't leak into the user-facing type — that would mean the parser
    swallowed the failure and produced bogus columns from misinterpreted
    IPC bytes instead of degrading cleanly.

Two CI failures in the previous run, both behind-the-scenes regressions
from recent commits:

1. Playground integration tests timed out because chart canvases
   never rendered. Root cause: pnpm resolved zod 4.1.13 (rather than
   the 3.23.8 specified in package.json — peer/dedup behavior), and
   zod 4 changed `z.record()` to require both key and value type
   arguments. The single-arg form `z.record(z.unknown())` from the
   AnalyticsResultMessage schema crashed at runtime when validating
   any payload with a `data` array, the safeParse returned
   success:false, the hook treated every mock SSE response as
   malformed, and the chart loading state never cleared.

   Fix: switch to the two-arg form `z.record(z.string(), z.unknown())`
   which is valid in both zod 3 and zod 4.

2. Docs build sync check failed because Class.ExecutionError.md was
   stale relative to the new `errorCode` field added in 3d32491.
   Regenerated via `pnpm docs:build`.

No new tests needed — the existing analytics route + hook tests now
exercise the corrected schema, and the regression would have been
caught earlier had the schema test been driven through the SDK's
JSON.stringify → JSON.parse roundtrip the way the integration test
does. Worth a follow-up to add an integration-style schema test that
asserts a sample mock payload validates successfully.

Hi — Claude here, on James's behalf.

Closing in favour of a 3-PR stack carved out of this branch. Same end-state, easier to review:

  1. test: backfill coverage for genie connector, service context, stream registry #327test: backfill coverage for genie connector, service context, stream registry (pure test additions, ~1825 lines)
  2. refactor: rename AnalyticsFormat to API enum names (JSON_ARRAY, ARROW_STREAM) #328refactor: rename AnalyticsFormat to API enum names (mechanical JSON/ARROWJSON_ARRAY/ARROW_STREAM)
  3. feat: decode inline Arrow IPC + warehouse-compat fallback #329feat: decode inline Arrow IPC + warehouse-compat fallback (the actual fix — arrow-schema.ts, inline IPC decode, format fallback, zod-validated SSE wire protocol)

Merge order: #327#328#329. Verified the sum of the three branches matches the PR-touched files on this branch exactly (0 diffs across all 30 files).
