Pull request overview
Adds truncation-aware nested list expansion to the declarative RecordExpander, enabling it to detect when an embedded list is only a first page (e.g., Stripe has_more: true) and optionally re-fetch the complete list via a configured retriever (including the retriever’s own pagination).
Changes:
- Extend
RecordExpanderwithtruncation_indicator_path+truncated_list_retrieverand fetching logic that exposes the parent record viastream_slice['parent_record']. - Wire the new fields through the declarative model schema + YAML schema and component factory.
- Add unit tests covering truncation fetching, no-call cases, fallback behavior, and validation errors.

2509-2518: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider a more specific name for the truncated-list retriever, wdyt?
create_record_expanderalways names the nested retriever"record_expander_truncated_list". That's consistent with how other auxiliary retrievers in this file are named (e.g."dynamic_properties"), so it's not a new problem. Still, if a manifest configurestruncated_list_retrieveron more than one stream or field, every one of them logs under that same identical name, which makes request logs and error messages ("Stream {name}: ...") hard to tell apart during troubleshooting.
model.parametersalready carries the propagated$parameters(often includingname). Would it help to fold that into the constructed name, something like:♻️ Possible tweak
truncated_list_retriever = None if model.truncated_list_retriever: + parent_name = (model.parameters or {}).get("name", "") truncated_list_retriever = self._create_component_from_model( model=model.truncated_list_retriever, config=config, - name="record_expander_truncated_list", + name=f"record_expander_truncated_list_{parent_name}" if parent_name else "record_expander_truncated_list", primary_key=None, stream_slicer=None, transformations=[], )Not blocking, just a thought for clearer debugging when this feature gets used across multiple Stripe streams. What do you think?

Retriever.read_recordsis typed to yieldStreamData, which includesAirbyteMessage, but this branch only unwrapsRecordand treats every other value as a nested child. A validCustomRetrieverthat emits a slice/log message will therefore send that protocol message through the outerRecordSelectoras a child record (or wrap it), instead of emitting it via the message repository. Restrict this option to record-only retrievers or handle non-record messages explicitly before yielding child data.

🚫 Not fixing. PaginatorTestReadDecorator is only wrapped in when emit_connector_builder_messages=True, and the Connector Builder handler forces concurrency_level.default_concurrency = 1 for every test read (airbyte_cdk/connector_builder/connector_builder_handler.py, create_source), so the nested paginator is never invoked from more than one thread while the decorator is present. Outside the Builder there is no decorator and the nested SimpleRetriever is as thread-safe as the stream's own retriever, which is likewise a single instance shared across partition workers.
Cloning a retriever per nested fetch would also duplicate the requester/session (and defeat use_cache) for a race that cannot occur under the current Builder wiring. If the Builder ever lifts the single-thread constraint, the stream-level paginator has the same exposure and should be fixed in PaginatorTestReadDecorator itself.

🚫 Not fixing. The single-channel behavior is intentional; the PR description was stale and has been corrected to match the code.
The previous revision logged through both the stdlib logger and the MessageRepository, and CodeRabbit flagged that every warning then appeared twice in the connector output (#1135 (comment)). In a connector process, MessageRepository messages are drained by the source and written to stdout as protocol LOG messages, which is the same channel the stdlib airbyte logger ends up in via AirbyteLogFormatter; the platform log stream therefore does not lose the warning when only the repository is used. The stdlib logger remains the fallback for direct RecordExpander usage without a repository.

- The
CustomRetrieverbranch does not receive the auxiliarylog_formatterused forSimpleRetriever. A custom retriever that inheritsSimpleRetriever(the supportedTestingCustomRetrieverpattern) therefore leaves its requester logs unformatted, so Connector Builder cannot classify these nested requests as auxiliary even though the new schema says configured retriever requests appear as auxiliary. Pass the same formatter through this branch without overriding manifest fields, or narrow that schema guarantee.

SimpleRetriever.read_records()can yield protocol payloads such as directAirbyteLogMessageobjects (the existingtest_simple_retriever_with_request_response_logsexercises this), not onlyAirbyteMessageenvelopes. Thiselsetreats any such non-Recorditem as a child, so nested request/response logs can be emitted as records and counted towardtotal_count, potentially suppressing the incomplete-fetch warning. Skip direct protocol payload messages as well (for LOG/TRACE/STATE/CONTROL), leaving only actual record data for expansion.

- This warning is emitted only after the nested iterator has yielded every fetched record.
DeclarativePartition.readstops consuming the iterator as soon as the Buildermax_recordslimit is reached, so a large fetched list can be cut off before this line executes and the promised incomplete-fetch warning never reachesStreamRead.logs. Emit or schedule the warning before yielding the fetched records (while retaining the count), or otherwise handle generator termination so the warning is not lost.

- The no-retriever warning is also placed after all embedded children have been yielded. When Connector Builder reaches its
max_recordscap in the middle of a large truncated list, the outer partition breaks without resuming this generator, so no warning is emitted even though the truncation is the behavior this option is meant to expose. Compute the embedded count and emit this warning before streaming the children, or guarantee it runs when the iterator is closed.

_fetch_complete_listis a lazy page/record generator, but converting it tolistmaterializes the entire nested list before emitting even the first child. A large truncated list (and every truncated parent in the stream) therefore incurs O(n) extra memory and loses the streaming behavior ofSimpleRetriever; preserve the iterator and redesign the incomplete-count warning so it does not require buffering all children (for example, emit that warning after the iterator is exhausted).

…ete nested list Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
Overview
👉 TL;DR: When an API embeds only the first page of a nested list inside a parent record, the low-code record expander can now fetch the rest of the list from its own endpoint, and when no such endpoint exists it logs a warning instead of silently dropping the missing items.
Specifically, this adds two optional fields to
RecordExpander:truncation_indicator_pathandtruncated_list_retriever(SimpleRetriever | CustomRetriever), plus an optionalmessage_repositoryfor Connector Builder visibility.Pairs with (connector consumer, stays in draft until a CDK release contains this change):
Requested by Zane Hyatt (ZaneHyattAB); investigation in https://github.com/airbytehq/oncall/issues/12975.
Changes
RecordExpander: whentruncation_indicator_pathis truthy andtruncated_list_retrieveris set, the retriever is invoked with the parent record asstream_slice['parent_record']and its records (all pages via its own paginator) replace the embedded ones. Fetched items are handled like embedded ones: mappings get parent context, scalars are yielded as-is or wrapped as{"value": item, "original_record": ...}underremain_original_record.RecordExpander: truthy indicator with no retriever expands the embedded items as before and logs one WARNING per stream instance naming the expansion path, indicator path, embedded count and (when an integertotal_countsibling exists) the expected total. No payload values. The sync never fails and no records are dropped.RecordExpander: a separate once-per-stream WARNING when a configured retriever returns fewer records thantotal_count(points at a missingpaginator/ wrong endpoint).RecordExpander: warnings are emitted through one channel: asAirbyteLogMessage(level=WARN)via theMessageRepositorywhen one is wired in (the factory always supplies one, so they reach the platform log stream and Connector BuilderStreamRead.logs), otherwise through the stdlibairbytelogger. Never both, so a warning is not printed twice. The no-retriever warning is emitted before the embedded children are yielded, so a consumer that stops iterating early (e.g. the Connector Builder record limit) still sees it; fetched children stay streamed, so the shortfall warning is emitted once the retriever is exhausted (a consumer that stops early cut the fetch short itself, so no shortfall can be reported).RecordExpander: items yielded by the nested retriever are unwrapped fromRecordorAirbyteMessage(type=RECORD); other protocol messages aCustomRetrievermay yield (LOG, TRACE, STATE, CONTROL, asAirbyteMessageenvelopes or as bareAirbyteLogMessage-style payloads) are skipped rather than treated as child records.RecordExpander: falsy/missing indicator is unchanged (no request, no warning); an empty retriever result falls back to the embedded items; retriever request failures propagate through itserror_handlerand fail the stream.truncated_list_retrieverrequirestruncation_indicator_path; dpath glob metacharacters (*,?,[) are rejected in the indicator path always and inexpand_records_from_fieldwhen a retriever is set, checked on the interpolated values at construction time;ValueErrorfrom dpath on a non-mapping segment is treated as not truncated.ModelToComponentFactory.create_record_expander: builds the nestedSimpleRetrieverwith namerecord_expander_truncated_list, an auxiliarylog_formatter(is_auxiliary=True), andmessage_repository; rejectspartition_router/pagination_reseton it; buildsCustomRetrieverfrommodel+configplus the same auxiliarylog_formatterso manifest values survive and nested requests are still classified as auxiliary.declarative_component_schema.yaml) and generated model: field descriptions cover the warnings, glob restriction, request amplification anduse_cache, paginator semantics,$parameterspropagation, failure semantics, unsupported nested fields, Builder auxiliary/test-read behavior, and the older-CDK compatibility note.HttpMockerend-to-end test module.Review Spotlight

Show/Hide Content
Why
Stripe's
/v1/eventspayloads embed only the first page (10 items) of nested list objects, withlines.has_more: trueandtotal_countreflecting the real size, verified by live measurement (invoices with 15/16/20 lines each embed exactly 10).RecordExpander(introduced in #859) had no way to follow that, so source-stripe's events-basedinvoice_line_itemsincremental path silently drops line items 11+ of any invoice with more than 10 lines. Stripe rejectsexpand[]=data.data.object.lineson/v1/events, so there is no request-side workaround.Survey results (generality)
A survey of certified/GA connectors for the same embedded-list-truncation pattern found no other connector that can adopt the retriever path today: source-stripe is the only connector with an embedded nested list, a truncation flag, and a dedicated complete-list endpoint. The closest real data-loss cousin is
source-intercomconversation_parts: Intercom embeds at most the 500 most recent parts of a conversation and exposes no endpoint to fetch the rest, so it can never usetruncated_list_retriever. That unrecoverable case is what the warn-on-truncation path covers: it converts silent data loss into visible data loss, and it is what makes this change generally useful beyond Stripe. Safe contrasts (nested pagination correctly followed): source-mondayitems_page.cursor, source-github GraphQLpageInfo.hasNextPage, and anylazy_read_pointer/LazySimpleRetrieveruser.Extend vs. new component
Patrick Nilan raised whether giving
RecordExpander(previously a pure in-memory dpath transform) a retriever, and therefore HTTP capability, fundamentally changes what the component is, and whether a brand-new component would be better. This PR takes the extend position; that decision is open to disagreement:SubstreamPartitionRouter,AsyncRetriever), so a component owning a retriever is not novel.RecordExpandertoday (source-stripe), so a new component would duplicate nearly all ofRecordExpander's surface for one user and add a deprecation/migration burden; the truncation config is generic (arbitrary dpath indicator + standardSimpleRetriever/CustomRetriever), not Stripe-specific.If reviewers prefer a new component anyway, the natural shape is a
TruncatedListExpandersuperset ofRecordExpanderin the samerecord_expanderslot.The alternative of rerouting the events path through
SubstreamPartitionRouter/lazy_read_pointer(which does follow nested pagination) was rejected:lazy_read_pointeris coupled to parent-stream partitioning and full-refresh child reads, and forcing the events stream into that shape would break the events cursor/state semantics andremain_original_recordtransformations.Summary by CodeRabbit
