Description

Editing a Jinja macro used by a standalone audit now changes the audit's fingerprint.

Before this change, StandaloneAudit.metadata_hash ignored the audit's Jinja macro registry. If you changed only a macro body, the rendered audit query changed but sqlmesh plan did not list the audit. Models already hash their registry in _data_hash_values_no_sql. This gap came up in review of #6120.

The fix adds jinja_macros.data_hash_values to the hash only when the registry holds macros: any root_macros, or a package that contains macros. An empty registry still produces '{}' from its refs, sources and vars. Trimming can also leave an empty package behind, such as target from {{ target.name }}. Counting either of those would rehash audits that use no macros.

With this condition:

• Audits without Jinja macros keep the same hash. This includes audits that only read attributes such as {{ target.name }}.
• A change to a macro that the audit does not reference doesn't change the hash.
• When the registry holds macros, the hash also includes its refs, sources and vars, as it does for models.

dbt vars that JSON can't represent

dbt loads an unquoted YAML date, such as cutoff: 2024-01-02 in dbt_project.yml, as a date object. JinjaMacroRegistry.data_hash_values passed it to json.dumps, which raised TypeError. On main, a dbt model that uses such a var already fails to load. With the audit change alone, dbt data tests that use one would fail too.

data_hash_values now hashes each value that JSON can't represent as its type name and string form, for example {"__type__": "datetime.date", "value": "2024-01-02"}. Keeping the type means a date and its ISO string hash differently, because a macro can tell them apart. The fallback only applies to values JSON can't represent, so every hash that works today stays the same. This change is in shared code, so it also fixes the existing failure for dbt models.

Upgrade impact

The PR adds an empty migration, v0103_include_jinja_macros_in_standalone_audit_fingerprint.py, the same way #5758 did for its hash change. The migration bumps the schema version, so sqlmesh migrate recomputes the stored fingerprints of standalone audits that use Jinja macros. After migrating, sqlmesh plan shows no changes for them.

This mostly affects dbt projects. Each dbt data test references the get_where_subquery and should_store_failures macros (sqlmesh/dbt/manifest.py), so its registry is never empty.

This change doesn't touch model audits. load_audit sets jinja_macros only for standalone audits, so a model audit's registry is always empty.

Test Plan

New tests in tests/core/test_audit.py:

Test	What it checks
test_standalone_audit_metadata_hash_includes_referenced_jinja_macros	A change to a root macro body changes the hash. It fails on main.
test_standalone_audit_metadata_hash_includes_referenced_package_macros	A change to a package macro body changes the hash. It fails on main.
test_standalone_audit_metadata_hash_ignores_unreferenced_jinja_macros	A change to an unreferenced macro doesn't change the hash.
test_standalone_audit_metadata_hash_unchanged_without_jinja_macros	The hash of an audit without macros matches its value on main.
test_standalone_audit_metadata_hash_ignores_global_objs_without_macros	The hash of an audit with globals but no macros matches its value on main.
test_standalone_audit_metadata_hash_ignores_attribute_only_jinja	The hash of an audit that uses {{ target.name }} matches its value on main.
test_standalone_audit_metadata_hash_with_date_var	An audit with macros and a date var hashes without an error.

If the fix adds the registry unconditionally, the three "ignores" and "unchanged" tests that pin main values fail. If it counts empty packages, the attribute-only test fails.

New test in tests/utils/test_jinja.py:

• test_macro_registry_data_hash_values_with_non_json_vars checks three things:
  • A date var hashes with its type.
  • A date and its ISO string produce different hash values.
  • A registry with only JSON values produces the same hash values as before.

Both date tests fail on main with TypeError: Object of type date is not JSON serializable. With a plain default=str fallback, the date-versus-string check fails.

I also checked a copy of sushi_dbt with cutoff_date: 2024-01-02 in its vars:

• A singular data test that uses the var loads on main but fails with TypeError on the audit change alone. With the fallback, it loads.
• A model that uses the var fails to load on main with the same TypeError. With this branch, it loads and renders '2024-01-02'.

I ran the steps of .github/scripts/test_migration.sh for sushi_dbt by hand. I planned the project with sqlmesh 0.236.4, then ran sqlmesh migrate and sqlmesh diff prod with this branch:

• Without the migration, the schema version stays at 102 -> 102, and diff prod lists 9 dbt tests under Metadata Updated. This matches the CI failure on an earlier commit.
• With the migration, the schema version goes 102 -> 103, and diff prod reports no changes.

tests/core/test_audit.py, tests/utils/test_jinja.py and tests/core/state_sync pass, except test_model_inline_audits, which needs BigQuery libraries I don't have installed. In tests/dbt (not slow), the same 12 tests fail on this branch and on main, all on missing adapter libraries. ruff and mypy report no problems in the changed files.

Checklist

• I have run make style and fixed any issues (I ran ruff and mypy on the changed files.)
• I have added tests for my changes (if applicable)
• All existing tests pass (make fast-test) (I ran the core audit, Jinja utility, state sync and dbt tests.)
• My commits are signed off (git commit -s) per the DCO

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Audit metadata now changes when a referenced root or package Jinja macro changes, while changes to unreferenced macros do not affect it.
  • Audits without macros retain their existing metadata hashes, including those using attribute-only Jinja expressions.
  • Global values, including dates and other non-JSON values, are handled consistently when calculating metadata hashes. Identical inputs continue to produce stable hashes.

Walkthrough

Standalone audit metadata hashes now include Jinja macro registry hash values when root macros or package macros exist. Registry hash values support non-JSON-serializable globals. Tests cover macro references, global objects, and audits without macros.

Changes: Standalone audit macro hashing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Jinja registry hash values sqlmesh/utils/jinja.py, tests/utils/test_jinja.py	The registry uses a fallback representation containing the fully qualified type and string form for globals that JSON cannot serialize. Tests check date-valued globals and confirm JSON-serializable values retain their expected hash values.
Macro-aware audit metadata hashing sqlmesh/core/audit/definition.py, tests/core/test_audit.py, sqlmesh/migrations/v0103_include_jinja_macros_in_standalone_audit_fingerprint.py	The metadata hash includes registry hash values when root macros or package macros exist. Tests cover referenced and unreferenced macros, global objects, audits without macros, attribute-only Jinja, and deterministic hashes. The migration module defines no-op schema and row migration functions.

Merge Risk: Low · up to a4483

Standalone audits with Jinja macros now include macro content in their metadata hash, and dbt date variables no longer break hashing. A narrow gap remains: date-valued variables are stored as plain strings when snapshots are saved and reloaded. A macro that uses date attributes on such a variable could then behave differently. This is unlikely to affect most projects, so the merge risk is low.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to a4483

The change improves detection of audit changes without establishing a new privilege or execution path. The main residual risk is that newly supported date-valued settings may not retain identical meaning after snapshots are saved and restored.

Retained concerns

• Low · reliability · inferred: Newly accepted date-valued model globals do not preserve their typed hash representation through snapshot JSON persistence. Fresh and recovered nodes can therefore produce different registry hash inputs. Type-sensitive macros may also render differently on cold recovery or rollback, weakening snapshot reproducibility. Ordinary reads restore cached fingerprint fields rather than validating this discrepancy; the downstream rendering effect has not been demonstrated.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated propagation scope is project audit and SQL model fingerprints, plus snapshot identities in their configured state store. The inspected changes do not establish increased tenant reach, credentials, IAM authority, or network exposure.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — No PR-introduced authorization or code-execution bypass was established in the traced hashing paths. Macro text and selected globals become fingerprint inputs; rendering remains a separate consumer. This conclusion is limited to the inspected paths, not a claim of complete security coverage.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• inferred — The new str conversion can invoke behavior on custom in-process objects, but the inspected dbt producer supplies configuration values and relation metadata. No remote route to attacker-defined Python objects or newly granted execution authority was identified.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Existing migration containment includes a transaction wrapper, snapshot-row locking, checks before inserting migrated identities, and backup rollback on caught exceptions unless backups were skipped. These controls are counterevidence to an unqualified partial-migration concern; they do not establish guarantees for every database adapter or concurrent migration.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Preserve equivalent typed-global semantics across snapshot persistence, and verify fingerprint and rendered-query stability through cold restoration, migration, and rollback for date-valued settings.

Pass the registry to the final audit.

load_multiple_audits omits jinja_macros from its final load_audit call. The project loader uses this path, so the last standalone audit in each file gets an empty registry and cannot benefit from the new hash. Pass the registry here, as in the preceding call, and cover the project-loading path. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Preserve date types through snapshot serialization.

The new hash fallback lets SQL models with date-valued vars reach snapshot persistence. Snapshot JSON serializes those dates as strings, and _validate_global_objs does not restore them. After reload, a macro using var('cutoff').year can therefore render differently or fail. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Encode and restore supported non-JSON types in registry persistence, and test a snapshot round trip.

Preserve date types when snapshots are restored.

The new fallback allows date-valued variables to be fingerprinted, but snapshot persistence writes them as JSON strings. parse_snapshot then restores those strings without converting them back to dates. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

The restored registry has different hash values. A macro that uses var('cutoff').year can also fail after restoration. Preserve the type in snapshot serialization and restore it in the validator.

Update the global_objs serializer and the validator used by parse_snapshot to
preserve and restore date values as dates rather than plain JSON strings. Ensure
restored values retain their original types so registry fingerprints remain
stable and date attributes such as year remain usable.
