Descrição do PR

A execução em produção do pipeline falhou na etapa de metadados:

400 ... Unrecognized name: cycle at [3:18]

Run: ancient-bonobo (dd2de989-1066-4c65-aec3-29ea4ed525a8), Failed.

Motivação/Contexto: a coluna de partição foi renomeada cycle -> year em toda parte — arquitetura, modelos dbt, parquet, prefixo no GCS e backend — mas as três specs AllFree em flows.py continuaram com YearOnly(col="cycle"). register_table_materialization_task monta MAX(DATE(cycle,1,1)) a partir dessa coluna, e o BigQuery recusou.

Por que nada pegou antes de produção — esta é a parte que importa:

  • pyrefly não pega: "cycle" é uma string perfeitamente válida.
  • A execução de verificação em dev não pega: ela é disparada com update_metadata=False, o que pula justamente register_table_materialization_task — a única chamadora que lê essas colunas. A run de dev (ebony-fulmar) passou de ponta a ponta, 7/7 dbt run e 7/7 dbt test, com o defeito presente.

Ou seja: o portão de dev tem um ponto cego estrutural para as specs de cobertura.

Detalhes Técnicos

Principais alterações: YearOnly(col="cycle") -> YearOnly(col="year") nas três tabelas de cadastro (candidate, committee, candidate_committee_link).

A correção não é só de três linhas. tests/test_coverage_columns.py confere cada spec de cobertura contra os CSVs de arquitetura — que são a fonte de verdade dos nomes de coluna — e não precisa de BigQuery. Verifica também as duas direções do mapeamento ALL_TABLES <-> _COVERAGE: uma tabela atualizada sem spec vira KeyError no meio da run (a indexação é deliberada, ver #1845), e uma spec para tabela que o flow nunca atualiza é configuração morta.

Corrige ainda o docstring do módulo, que descrevia o caminho do blob como staging/<ds>/<table>/cycle=<CYCLE>/data.parquet.

Mudanças nos dados e no schema: nenhuma.

Teste e Validações

  • Testado localmente
  • Testado na Cloud

O teste foi validado reintroduzindo o defeito, para garantir que ele de fato pega e não apenas passa:

WITH THE BUG REINTRODUCED: 3 failed, 6 passed
exit code: 1 -> test CATCHES it
pytest pipelines/datasets/us_fec_campaign_finance/tests/ pipelines/utils/tests/metadata/ -q
151 passed

pyrefly check pipelines/datasets/us_fec_campaign_finance/
INFO 0 diagnostics (5 suppressed)

Estado de produção após a falha

A falha ocorreu na primeira chamada de registro (candidate, primeira em ALL_TABLES), então nada ficou pela metade:

  • Dados em produção estão íntegros e mais recentes. Uploads e dbt run/test com target=prod passaram antes: candidate 130.402 (+40), committee 298.071 (+10), candidate_committee_link 82.392 (+41). As quatro tabelas transacionais seguem iguais — a FEC não publicou transações novas desde o onboarding.
  • Nenhuma cobertura foi reescrita e nenhuma Row Access Policy foi emitida. O paywall continua não aplicado, exatamente como antes da run.
  • O Update da fonte foi gravado (2026-08-12), o que é correto e inofensivo.

Depois deste merge, a run de produção precisa ser disparada de novo para efetivamente aplicar a janela BD Pro.

Riscos e Mitigações

  • Riscos conhecidos: nenhum. A mudança faz as specs apontarem para a coluna que de fato existe.
  • Planos de rollback: reverter o commit.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Updated US FEC campaign finance data partitions to use year-based paths.
    • Improved coverage tracking by using each table’s year field.
  • Tests

    • Added validation to ensure refreshed tables have accurate coverage configurations.
    • Added checks confirming coverage columns match available table metadata.

…me `cycle` column

The prod run failed at the metadata stage:

    400 ... Unrecognized name: cycle at [3:18]

The partition was renamed `cycle` -> `year` across the architecture, the dbt
models, the parquet, the GCS prefix and the backend, but the three AllFree
specs kept `YearOnly(col="cycle")`. register_table_materialization_task builds
`MAX(DATE(cycle,1,1))` from that column, and BigQuery rejected it.

Nothing caught it before production:

- pyrefly cannot — "cycle" is a perfectly good string.
- The dev validation run cannot — it is triggered with `update_metadata=False`,
  which skips register_table_materialization_task, the only caller that reads
  these columns. The dev run went green end to end with the bug in place.

So the fix is not just the three lines. tests/test_coverage_columns.py checks
every coverage spec against the architecture CSVs, which are the source of
truth for column names, and needs no BigQuery. Reintroducing the bug makes 3 of
its tests fail, so it genuinely closes the gap rather than merely passing.

It also asserts the two directions of the ALL_TABLES <-> _COVERAGE mapping: a
refreshed table with no spec is a KeyError mid-run (that indexing is deliberate,
see #1845), and a spec for a table the flow never refreshes is dead config.

Also fixes the module docstring, which still described the blob path as
`staging/<ds>/<table>/cycle=<CYCLE>/data.parquet`.

Failure was confined to the first register call (`candidate`, first in
ALL_TABLES), so no coverage was rewritten and no Row Access Policies were
issued. The prod data itself is fine: uploads and dbt run/test at target=prod
all succeeded beforehand, and the registration tables picked up new rows
(candidate 130,402, committee 298,071, candidate_committee_link 82,392).

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The FEC campaign finance pipeline now uses year for staging partitions and registration-table coverage. New tests validate coverage columns, refreshed-table completeness, and table eligibility.

Changes

FEC coverage alignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update year-based coverage
pipelines/datasets/us_fec_campaign_finance/flows.py
The staging path uses year. Registration tables use YearOnly on year and retain AllFree coverage.
Validate coverage specifications
pipelines/datasets/us_fec_campaign_finance/tests/test_coverage_columns.py
Tests validate coverage columns against architecture metadata, require specs for refreshed tables, and reject specs for unrefreshed tables.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d2fda

The change corrects the three coverage specifications to use the existing year column and adds regression tests; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains, aside from a minor documentation and typing follow-up.
