34
+
35
+ A Dagster asset graph read as a **project format** for
36
+ [dex](https://github.com/exmergo/dex), and the tiered seam it proposes for
37
+ reading one.
38
+
39
+ Copyright 2026 David Anaya. Apache-2.0.
40
+
41
+ ```bash
42
+ pip install dagster-dex # the core: no orchestrator, no engine
43
+ pip install 'dagster-dex[dex]' # with the dex-core boundary
44
+ ```
45
+
46
+ Or from source, for `main` ahead of the last release:
47
+
48
+ ```bash
49
+ pip install 'git+https://github.com/catincloud-labs/dagster-dex'
50
+ pip install 'dagster-dex[dex] @ git+https://github.com/catincloud-labs/dagster-dex'
51
+ ```
52
+
53
+ Python 3.10+, matching Dagster's own floor. The `[dex]` extra needs 3.11+,
54
+ because the engine does: on 3.10 you can still reduce a graph and write an
55
+ artifact for a machine that has the engine to read it.
56
+
57
+ Once installed, dex can name this format directly:
58
+
59
+ ```yaml
60
+ # .dex/config.yml
61
+ project:
62
+ format: dagster
63
+ options:
64
+ assets: my_project.definitions:all_assets
65
+ ```
66
+
67
+ **dex** reads a project's declared structure (keys, joins, sources, semantics)
68
+ and reports where the warehouse has drifted from it. It reads dbt projects
69
+ natively. This package makes a Dagster asset graph readable the same way,
70
+ without the graph having to pretend to be a dbt project first.
71
+
72
+ ## What this is
73
+
74
+ A working sketch of a contract, not a finished integration. It exists to make a
75
+ design argument concrete enough to disagree with: an asset graph is a perfectly
76
+ good source of project truth, and reading one does not require it to pretend to
77
+ be a dbt project first.
78
+
79
+ ## The seam, in three tiers
80
+
81
+ | Tier | Adds | A format implements it when |
82
+ | --- | --- | --- |
83
+ | `ProjectSource` | `declarations()` | it can say what it declares |
84
+ | `FingerprintedProject` | `fingerprint()` | it can be a drift baseline |
85
+ | `EditableProject` | `propose_edits()` | its source of truth can receive an edit |
86
+
87
+ `DagsterProject` implements tiers 1 and 2, and **not** tier 3 - not by setting a
88
+ flag, but by not having the method. `isinstance(project, EditableProject)` is
89
+ False, so a caller finds out by asking rather than by receiving an empty result
90
+ that looks like success. A generated project is safe from stray writes today
91
+ only where a naming convention happens not to match; declining a tier makes that
92
+ structural.
93
+
94
+ ## Four model decisions worth arguing about
95
+
96
+ **A key is always a tuple of columns.** A single-column grain is the `n == 1`
97
+ case, not a different type. Modelling it the other way is what makes a composite
98
+ grain inexpressible until someone widens the type - and after widening, every
99
+ reader handles two shapes forever.
100
+
101
+ **There is no project directory.** A path is one format's way of locating
102
+ itself, not a property every project has.
103
+
104
+ **Freshness is a tri-state.** `FRESH` / `STALE` / `NOT_APPLICABLE`. A boolean
105
+ cannot tell "current" from "there is no such artifact here", so a format with
106
+ nothing to compile reports itself identically to one that just compiled.
107
+
108
+ **A required field is a refusal to invent.** `ExternalSource` requires a source
109
+ system because the consumer requires one; making it optional would only move the
110
+ moment of invention into the boundary code, where a fabricated value cannot be
111
+ told from a declared one. Where the consumer requires something a project may
112
+ genuinely lack, such as a file path, the field is optional here and the loss is
113
+ reported instead of filled in.
114
+
115
+ ## External sources: the edge a graph cannot see
116
+
117
+ Everything in `models` is something the project builds. `ExternalSource` is
118
+ where it stops and depends on a warehouse object somebody else keeps honoring.
119
+
120
+ These **cannot be derived from the asset graph**. A model that reads a table in
121
+ its own SQL, because the source system offers no other interface, draws no
122
+ dependency edge, so the read is invisible to any amount of traversal. It is
123
+ genuinely extra information and has to be declared, keyed by the model that
124
+ reads it. A format that inferred sources from dependencies would find none and
125
+ look like it had checked.
126
+
127
+ They are not decorative on the consumer side either: they drive a
128
+ `dangling_source` finding and the set of tables a project is understood to
129
+ cover. A format that reports none silently narrows its own blast radius.
130
+
131
+ ## Layout, and why the dependencies sit where they do
132
+
133
+ ```text
134
+ model.py the neutral model stdlib only
135
+ protocol.py the tiered seam stdlib only
136
+ declarations.py input parsing + pyyaml
137
+ project.py the Dagster reduction + dagster, lazily
138
+ conformance.py the importable contract + pytest
139
+ dex.py the dex-core boundary + exmergo-dex-core, lazily
140
+ ```
141
+
142
+ The engine coupling is one file. Everything else, including the conformance
143
+ suite, runs with dex-core uninstalled, which is what keeps the design from
144
+ being shaped by whatever the engine happens to look like today. `dex.py` imports
145
+ **public API only**; `tests/test_dex_bridge.py` asserts that with an AST walk
146
+ rather than trusting it.
147
+
148
+ ## Running it
149
+
150
+ From the repository root:
151
+
152
+ ```bash
153
+ # the core: no orchestrator, no engine
154
+ uv run --no-project --with-editable . \
155
+ --with pytest==8.4.1 \
156
+ python -m pytest tests \
157
+ --ignore=tests/test_dex_bridge.py \
158
+ --ignore=tests/test_upstream_contract.py
159
+
160
+ # with the engine, to exercise the boundary
161
+ uv run --no-project --with-editable . \
162
+ --with pytest==8.4.1 --with exmergo-dex-core==1.6.4 --with sqlglot==30.13.0 \
163
+ python -m pytest tests \
164
+ --ignore=tests/test_upstream_contract.py
165
+ ```
166
+
167
+ `--with-editable` is not optional: without it the package is never installed and
168
+ every test errors at collection on `No module named 'dagster_dex'`. These
169
+ are the two commands CI runs, and the first is a **control**: it is what holds
170
+ the engine coupling to one file, so an `exmergo_dex_core` import anywhere else
171
+ turns it red at collection.
172
+
173
+ The engine is pinned to `==1.6.4` here and in CI, which is **not** what the
174
+ `[dex]` extra publishes. The extra is `~=1.6.4`, so consumers are not forced onto
175
+ one patch release; the exact pin is where the demonstration lives, because a
176
+ claim about what passed should name the version it passed against.
177
+
178
+ ### Against dex-core's own contract
179
+
180
+ `tests/test_upstream_contract.py` runs this format against the conformance suite
181
+ **dex-core ships**, which is upstream's acceptance criterion for a second project
182
+ format (`exmergo/dex#144`). That suite ships in **v1.5.2**, released 2026-08-05,
183
+ via [`exmergo/dex#192`](https://github.com/exmergo/dex/pull/192) - our own PR, so
184
+ the criterion is now judged by upstream's released code rather than by a branch:
185
+
186
+ ```bash
187
+ DEX_UPSTREAM_CONTRACT_REQUIRED=1 \
188
+ uv run --no-project --with-editable . \
189
+ --with pytest==8.4.1 --with exmergo-dex-core==1.6.4 --with sqlglot==30.13.0 \
190
+ python -m pytest tests/test_upstream_contract.py
191
+ ```
192
+
193
+ `DEX_UPSTREAM_CONTRACT_REQUIRED=1` is what makes it a signal, and the release did
194
+ not change that. Without the variable the file skips itself when the contract is
195
+ unimportable, which is right at a developer's desk and wrong in CI, where an unrun
196
+ file and a passing file look the same. With it, a missing contract is a collection
197
+ error - which still matters against a release, because a yank or a bad bump lands
198
+ in exactly the same place a rewritten branch used to.
199
+
200
+ ## Using the contract on another format
201
+
202
+ ```python
203
+ from dagster_dex.conformance import FingerprintedProjectContract
204
+
205
+ class TestMyFormat(FingerprintedProjectContract):
206
+ def make_project(self, declarations, semantics, sources):
207
+ return MyProject(declaration_sources=declarations,
208
+ semantic_sources=semantics,
209
+ source_declarations=sources)
210
+ ```
211
+
212
+ The assertions that matter most are behavioural: `declarations()` must not raise
213
+ on an absent, empty, or malformed project. That is the property a second
214
+ implementation is most likely to get wrong, and a suite checking only shapes
215
+ will pass it.
216
+
217
+ `make_project` took two arguments before external sources landed. The third
218
+ is a **breaking change to this contract**, taken deliberately while the suite has
219
+ no outside implementers rather than carried forever as an optional hook that
220
+ could be skipped - and a skipped assertion is not a passing one.
221
+
222
+ ## Status
223
+
224
+ **Alpha, and the contract may move before 1.0.** The tiered seam is a proposal,
225
+ not a settled interface: it exists to be argued with, and the argument may change
226
+ it. Pin the minor if you depend on it.
227
+
228
+ **The entry point stopped being inert on 2026-08-08.** This section used to end:
229
+ *"nothing resolves it today, and an entry point nobody looks up is inert."*
230
+ dex-core **1.6.0** added resolution for exactly the `exmergo_dex_core.projects`
231
+ group this package has declared since `0.1.0` - a format can now be named from
232
+ `.dex/config.yml`, from a dotted `mypkg.projects:my_project` path, or from that
233
+ entry-point group, with `--project-format` overriding on the CLI.
234
+
235
+ That arrived through [`exmergo/dex#171`](https://github.com/exmergo/dex/issues/171),
236
+ which this package's own constraint shaped: a host reaching dex as a subprocess
237
+ cannot hand an object in, so name resolution was the only door that worked.
238
+
239
+ **And it was registered wrong.** That paragraph originally ended *"what is left
240
+ between here and a resolvable format is packaging, not design"*, written before
241
+ anyone had run it. Resolution found the entry point immediately and then refused:
242
+ it named the **class**, and dex-core's `ProjectFactory` calls what it resolves
243
+ **with a `ProjectContext`**, so the context bound to `models`. A second gap sat
244
+ behind it: a bare `DagsterProject` is refused as *"missing name, definitions"*,
245
+ because this package says `format`/`declarations()` where the seam says
246
+ `name`/`definitions()`.
247
+
248
+ => The lesson is worth more than the fix: **a declared-but-unresolved extension
249
+ point is not evidence that registration works.** It was inert from `0.1.0`, so
250
+ there was no moment before 2026-08-08 at which it could have failed.
251
+
252
+ Both are fixed. The entry point names `dex:project_from_context`, which takes a
253
+ context and returns a `DexProject`, and a regression test asserts the registration
254
+ *and* that it loads to the callable.
255
+
256
+ **This paragraph used to end with a hand-counted end-to-end result** - a model
257
+ count, a source count, semantic models and metrics, from dex driven as a
258
+ subprocess against a private asset graph. It was true where it was written and it
259
+ is unverifiable here: nobody outside can run it, and it was four numbers in a
260
+ document, which is the thing this project's own rules forbid. What replaces it is
261
+ smaller and checkable by anyone:
262
+
263
+ | Verified in CI, every commit | Where |
264
+ | --- | --- |
265
+ | The suite passes with the engine uninstalled | control step |
266
+ | The suite passes against the engine | boundary step |
267
+ | The format passes dex-core's own project contract | criterion step |
268
+ | The reduction works on real Dagster objects | reduction step |
269
+ | The annotations type-check at the floor | type check |
270
+ | The built wheel imports, declares its entry point, ships `py.typed` | release workflow |
271
+
272
+ Everything above runs from a clean checkout with two commands and no access to
273
+ anything private, which is the property the old sentence did not have.
274
+
275
+ ### Two ways to name the project, and the reason there are two
276
+
277
+ `assets:` reduces a live asset graph in the calling process. That is the honest
278
+ form, and on a real project it costs **~2.6 s** - almost entirely the import of
279
+ the code location, which is not something laziness or caching can reach, because
280
+ a host that builds a project per command never holds one long enough to amortize
281
+ it.
282
+
283
+ `artifact:` is the answer for a host that cannot pay that: the side that already
284
+ has the graph reduces it once and writes the result down, and the side that
285
+ answers requests reads it back.
286
+
287
+ ```yaml
288
+ project:
289
+ format: dagster
290
+ options:
291
+ artifact: project/my_project.json # written by dagster_dex.artifact.dumps
292
+ ```
293
+
294
+ Exactly one of the two is required, and naming both is refused rather than
295
+ resolved: a snapshot and a live graph disagree by design. An artifact carries
296
+ its own declarations and its own name, so `declarations:`/`semantics:`/`sources:`
297
+ and `name:` are refused beside it rather than silently ignored.
298
+
299
+ **A missing artifact is refused, not read as an empty project.** An empty
300
+ project is a valid one, so the tolerant reading would report a broken deploy as a
301
+ warehouse with nothing declared, quietly, and for as long as it lasted.
