From d863d86e94e6efaf0640e4791bb1d7d3f1294ce8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 07:27:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Pin the dependency set, replace the dead profiler, stop a test destroying data Three things, all found by actually installing and running rather than reading. requirements.txt was entirely unpinned on a repository marked Stable. The maintenance policy asks that a clone still run years from now, and an unpinned set nobody is watching is a CI failure waiting for a quiet week. Every version here was resolved together and verified on Python 3.11 with the suite green. pandas-profiling is worse than deprecated. The maintainers renamed it to ydata-profiling at version 4 and no longer publish the old name; on Python 3.11 it fails to install outright, because its htmlmin dependency cannot build a wheel. CI survived only because it pinned Python 3.10. eda/profile_data_quick.py imported it at module scope, so that module was one Python bump from being unimportable. Swapped for ydata-profiling 4.18.4, verified installing and importing in a clean virtualenv, and the workflow moves to 3.11 so what CI runs is what was tested. tests/test_read_large_csv_chunked.py opened sample_data/gender_sample.csv in write mode and overwrote the committed sample data with "a,b\n1,2\n3,4\n5,6". Every run of the suite destroyed it. It survived only because nobody committed the damage; I found it staged in my own working tree. It now writes to pytest's tmp_path, and a second test asserts the sample file's hash is unchanged after a run, so this cannot come back quietly. test_export_formatted_excel.py wrote into the repository root and removed the file afterwards, which leaves it behind whenever the assertion fails. Also moved to tmp_path. Also here: the regression test pinning survey_estimation to R's survey 4.2.1. The cross-validation was run last session and agreed to twelve significant figures, but the commit that landed did not include the test, so main carried the claim without the guard. It does now, against a dataset built with no random number generator so the reference values stay valid across library versions. README claimed scikit-learn as a key dependency; it is neither declared nor imported anywhere. Corrected, along with the rest of that list. 26 tests green against the exact pinned file. CLAUDE.md records the pinning rationale, the pydantic @validator deprecation that will bite whoever raises pydantic to 3, the invariants that must be re-run before touching the estimator, and the owner's design reference for UI work.
