Closes #101

Summary

  • Split SessionMetadataDict from all-NotRequired (total=False) into required + optional fields based on the JSONL parser contract
  • Required keys: session_id, models_used, first_timestamp (value may be None when the file has no timestamps)
  • Extended accounting/activity fields remain NotRequired for partial or stub data
  • Add _finalize_session_metadata() in utils/jsonl_parser.py as the single typed construction site
  • Add docstring on SessionMetadataDict explaining which fields are required and why
  • Minimal test fixture updates in test_jsonl_validation.py and test_exclusion_helpers.py

Sprint item #9 (5 pt). Companion Wednesday PR 2 (YAML escape #6) is independent.

Problem

SessionMetadataDict declared every field as NotRequired, so mypy provided no shape enforcement — any key could be absent and type-checking still passed.

Changes

File Change
models/session.py Promote core identity fields to required; mark extended fields NotRequired; add docstring
utils/jsonl_parser.py Add _finalize_session_metadata(); route parse_session() output through it
utils/export_engine.py Use meta["first_timestamp"] directly (required key)
tests/test_jsonl_validation.py Supply required metadata fields in _valid_payload()
tests/test_exclusion_helpers.py Supply required metadata fields in _session() stub

Out of scope

  • MessageDict shape splitting (horizon)
  • ExportStateDict casing alignment (horizon)
  • file_activity hardcoded strings (deferred)

Test plan

  • mypy api utils models (strict) — 33 files, no issues
  • pytest -q — 419 passed, 13 skipped
  • ruff check . — all passed
  • Manual: remove a required field in _finalize_session_metadata() — confirm mypy error, then revert

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Strengthened session metadata validation to require session_id and models_used, and to require first_timestamp to exist (allowing null).
    • Improved JSONL parsing and export timestamp logic so first_timestamp/last_timestamp update only from valid values, including fallback for file-history-snapshot.
    • Ensures consistent, deterministic ordering of session metadata derived from collected sets.
  • Tests

    • Updated session test helpers and expanded validation tests for missing/invalid metadata fields, including precise error paths.
    • Added tests to confirm JSONL metadata key sets match and that snapshot timestamp fallback works end-to-end.

Promote session_id, models_used, and first_timestamp to required TypedDict keys; keep extended accounting fields as NotRequired. Add _finalize_session_metadata() as the single typed construction site and document the required/optional contract.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Session metadata now requires session_id, models_used, and first_timestamp, with parser finalization, runtime validation, direct consumer access, and tests updated for the new shape.

Changes

Session metadata contract tightening

Layer / File(s) Summary
SessionMetadataDict required fields
models/session.py
SessionMetadataDict now requires session_id, models_used, and first_timestamp, marks remaining fields NotRequired[...], adds supported-key constants, and changes builder accumulator fields to sets.
Parser finalizes metadata
utils/jsonl_parser.py, utils/tool_dispatch.py, tests/test_jsonl_parser.py
jsonl_parser builds typed mutable metadata, finalizes it into SessionMetadataDict, updates timestamp extraction, and passes finalized metadata into validation; tool_dispatch uses the builder type for file activity tracking; parser tests cover key parity and snapshot timestamp fallback.
Validation enforces metadata shape
utils/validation.py, tests/test_jsonl_validation.py, tests/test_exclusion_helpers.py
Validation adds helpers for optional string-or-null values and metadata checks, while tests cover missing metadata keys, first_timestamp: None, models_used element typing, and updated helper payloads.
Export engine reads first_timestamp directly
utils/export_engine.py
_resolve_first_timestamp now reads meta["first_timestamp"] directly and trims it before falling back to the modified timestamp.

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Linked Issues check ⚠️ Warning The PR tightens metadata typing, but it makes the final SessionMetadataDict fully required instead of keeping truly optional fields NotRequired as requested.

73-105: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Field list duplicated across three sites; consider a parity guard.

_finalize_session_metadata mirrors the full key set of the raw metadata initializer in parse_session (lines 114-152) and the SessionMetadataDict definition. Since raw is dict[str, Any], mypy can't catch a forgotten field here if someone later adds a key to the initializer/TypedDict but not this function — it would silently drop from the output instead of erroring.

A lightweight regression test asserting set(_finalize_session_metadata(raw).keys()) == set(raw.keys()) (or equivalent) would guard against silent drift.

154-161: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fallback to snapshot.timestamp when the top-level timestamp is invalid, not just falsy.

After Line 161, a truthy non-string entry["timestamp"] skips the file-history-snapshot fallback and then gets ignored, so first_timestamp/last_timestamp stay unset even when snapshot.timestamp is valid.

Proposed fix
-            if not ts and entry_type == "file-history-snapshot":
+            if entry_type == "file-history-snapshot" and (
+                not isinstance(ts, str) or not ts
+            ):
                 snap = entry.get("snapshot")
                 if isinstance(snap, dict):
                     ts = snap.get("timestamp")

86-88: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The new construction site still sidesteps the mypy guarantee.

metadata remains dict[str, Any] all the way through parsing, and cast(SessionMetadataDict, finalized) suppresses type checking instead of proving the contract. A typo or wrong value type in _process_user() / _process_assistant() would still pass mypy, so this only centralizes the shape at runtime.

Also applies to: 121-129

In `@utils/validation.py`:
- Around line 51-54: The `validate_session_dict()` check for
`metadata.models_used` only verifies that the field is a list, so non-string
entries can still pass through. Update the validation in `utils/validation.py`
around `_require_field(..., "models_used", list, ...)` to also inspect each item
in `models_used` and require every entry to be a string, matching the
`SessionMetadataDict` contract. Keep the existing `first_timestamp` validation
as-is and use the same `SessionValidationError` path/reporting style for any
invalid `models_used` element.
