Generate schemas in one merged, cached pass.

Description of your changes

Today, schemas are written into schemas/<lang>/ one source at a time. Each
source's output is copied on top of the tree, and nothing is ever removed.
The tree slowly goes stale, and the build never notices.

This issue resulted in workarounds as in modelplane modelplaneai/modelplane#170
where the schema directory is removed during every build, increasing build times.

This PR collects every source first, generates in two cached groups
(dependencies, and the project's own APIs), and swaps the finished tree
into place.

This work comes out of the TypeScript PR (#170) (which requires a single-pass
through the schema cache), and is broken out so that the TS-related changes are smaller.

Fixes #428.

What changes for users

You do this	Before	After
Rename or delete a kind in an XRD	The old model stays forever	It's removed
Remove a dependency	All its models stay	They're removed
Add a language	Dependencies get no models for it	They're generated
Remove a language, or delete schemas/<lang>/	The directory stays, or isn't regenerated	It's removed, or rebuilt
project build with no changes	apis/ regenerated every time (3.7s)	Nothing regenerated (1.5s)
Edit an XRD	apis/ regenerated (as on every build)	Only the APIs are regenerated; dependency output comes from the cache
Edit a Composition, or other non-XRD YAML in apis/	apis/ regenerated (as on every build)	Nothing regenerated
Delete or hand-edit a generated file	A dependency's model stays deleted or edited until that dependency changes	Restored from the cache on the next build, without running a generator
function generate in a fresh project	Only apis/ schemas; dependency models missing until a separate project build	Fetches dependencies itself and generates a complete tree; needs network on the first run, then uses the same caches

How it works

• Two groups. Dependencies (including transitive xpkg dependencies) and
  the project's APIs are each generated as a unit and cached in
  schemas/.cache/<group>/. A stamp file records what each cache was made
  from, and a group regenerates only when that changes. Each source is its
  own generator run, and the runs go in parallel (bounded by CPU count).
  A single combined run per group made cold builds three times slower than
  main on projects with many providers, because datamodel-codegen is
  single-threaded; the per-source runs restore main's parallelism.
• Safe swap. The tree is built in schemas/.staging/ and swapped in by
  rename. If anything fails, the previous tree stays in place, including
  when a swap fails halfway through.
• New lock format. .lock.json is now version 2. It records the
  languages, both groups' sources, and a generator fingerprint (the CLI
  version plus each generator's image and options). An old or damaged lock
  causes a regeneration instead of a failed build.
• Lock file behavior:
  • Reading is forgiving. A missing, damaged, or unknown-version lock
    reads as stale and the next build regenerates. The lock can never fail
    a build, and deleting it is a supported way to force regeneration.
  • Freshness is per group. The tree matches the lock only if the
    languages, the generator fingerprint, and both groups' source sets
    (with versions) are unchanged, and every generated file is still on
    disk unchanged (see the tree manifest below). A stale group regenerates
    only that group's cache; the tree is then reassembled by merging the
    cached parts.
  • Writes are atomic and last. The lock is written to a temp file and
    renamed into place after the tree swap succeeds. An interrupted write
    can only leave a truncated temp file; the lock itself stays the old
    one, describing the old tree, so the next run regenerates.
  • Upgrading from the old format causes a one-time full regeneration
    (the old lock has no version; it reads as stale).
  • Downgrading is safe: an older CLI reading a v2 lock sees no
    packages map, treats every source as stale, and regenerates
    everything. No failure, no wrong output.
• Every generated file is checked. Each assembly records the SHA-256
  of every file it wrote in schemas/.cache/tree.json. Each pass checks
  them, and reassembles the tree from the group caches if any is missing
  or different. Reassembly runs no generator. Files added to the tree are
  not checked, because tools write there: importing the Python models
  creates __pycache__ directories. The record is kept out of the lock,
  so projects that check schemas/ in don't commit a line per generated
  file.
• Only API definitions count. The project's APIs source hands the
  generators only XRD and CRD documents, and its version hashes exactly
  those, with their paths. Editing a Composition no longer regenerates
  the APIs group. A YAML document there that doesn't parse fails the
  pass and names the file, as it did when the generators parsed every
  file themselves.
• Conflicts are errors. If two parts produce the same file with
  different content, the build fails with a message naming the file. When
  the project's own APIs and a dependency disagree, it suggests removing
  one of the definitions. Before, the last copy won without any message.
• One write path. project build/run, render, dependency add,
  dependency update-cache and function generate all run the same pass.
• Run-level languages. A generator can implement schemaMerger to
  combine parts whose root files describe the whole run. Rust is the first
  (see below), and TypeScript (Project typescript support #170) is the next.

Generator fixes (first commit)

The merged pass compares shared files byte for byte, which exposed four
places where generators produced different output for the same input. All
four also affect main:

• Go: constant names in io/k8s/authentication/v1 sometimes changed
  between runs (about 1 in 5), because of random map order. They're now
  stable.
• KCL: imports came out in random order. They're now sorted.
• KCL: the OpenAPI path wrote kcl.mod with edition v0.10.0, while the
  CRD path wrote v0.11.2. Both now use v0.11.2.
• Python: each model's header named its input file, so shared models
  differed by one line. That line is removed.

Adopted from #435

#435 takes a different approach to #428. These pieces of it fit this
design without any CLI change, so I've brought them over:

• Per-file checks: see "Every generated file is checked" above. feat: Enhance schema generation and dependency handling #435
  records per-file hashes in its lock. Here they live in the cache
  directory instead, and files added to the tree are ignored, because
  modelplane checks schemas/ in and has __pycache__ directories
  inside schemas/python/.
• Definitions-only APIs hashing: see "Only API definitions count"
  above.
• No empty JSON index: a project with no JSON schemas no longer gets an
  empty index.schema.json.

Rust (#374)

Rust support landed on main after this PR's base, so this PR is rebased
onto it and the Rust generator is fitted to the merged pass:

• Rust is run-level. Each source's crate declares only its own
  modules, in src/lib.rs, the mod.rs files and Cargo.toml. On
  main the last source's copy wins, and the manager then rebuilds those
  files. This pass rejects two different copies of a file, so any project
  with more than one source failed with conflicting generated file models/Cargo.toml. The Rust generator now implements
  MergeGeneratedSchemas: it copies every source's models, which must
  match where two sources share one, and rebuilds the module tree once
  for the merged crate.
• Run-level output is stripped of models/. Merged run-level output
  kept the models/ prefix that every other language has removed, so the
  crate landed in rust/models/. Assembly now strips it for run-level
  languages too.
• Rust generator fingerprint: empty, since it runs in-process with no
  options.

Things reviewers should know

• One-time regeneration: every project regenerates once after
  upgrading, because the old lock format reads as stale. In a project that
  checks schemas/ in, this shows up as a large one-time diff: in
  modelplane, 1,133 Python files each lose their header line.
• Small output changes:
  • Python models lose the # filename: header line;
  • an OpenAPI-only project's kcl.mod edition moves to v0.11.2.
• Hand-placed files under schemas/<lang>/ are removed whenever the
  tree is reassembled, which now also happens when a generated file was
  deleted or edited. Between reassemblies they're left alone.
• dependency add contacts the registry for every dependency, not just
  the new one (about 1.5s for one dependency with a version range). The
  tree has to describe the whole project, so it needs every dependency's
  version.
• Two caches. The CLI already had a per-user package cache outside
  the project (os.UserCacheDir()/crossplane/xpkg, e.g.
  ~/Library/Caches/crossplane/xpkg on macOS): package downloads are
  shared across projects, PullIfNotPresent style, and dependency clean-cache empties it. This PR adds a per-project output cache in
  schemas/.cache/<group>/<lang>/: the generated schema trees each source
  group produced, keyed by source versions and generator fingerprint. The
  output cache holds a second copy of the tree, so schemas/ takes twice
  the disk space; .cache/ and .staging/ each contain a .gitignore,
  so projects that check schemas/ in don't pick them up. The two solve
  different problems — one avoids re-downloading packages, the other
  avoids re-running generators — and dependency clean-cache removes both.
  Moving the output cache to the user cache directory is possible; I'd
  like your input.
• Duplicate versions get a warning: if two dependencies resolve one
  package to different versions, a warning names both.

Testing

Unit tests, with mock generators unless noted:

• Regeneration rules:
  • an XRD edit regenerates only the APIs group;
  • a dependency change regenerates only the dependencies;
  • a language change, a removed dependency, a deleted language
    directory, or a fingerprint change triggers regeneration.
• Failure handling:
  • a failed generation, a failed swap, or a failure after one group
    finished leaves the previous tree correct;
  • a damaged or old lock regenerates instead of failing.
• Conflicts and merging:
  • conflicts between groups, and within a group, report an error;
  • the merger runs both within and across groups.
• Commands and sources:
  • a failed dependency add doesn't change the project file;
  • apis: . reads only the project's own YAML;
  • the duplicate-version warning;
  • readable error messages.
• Generators (real code, not mocks): Go output is identical across
  repeated runs; KCL imports are sorted; the kcl.mod edition matches the
  image; the Python header is stripped.
• Per-file checks and API definitions: an edited or deleted generated
  file is restored without running a generator; an added file is left
  alone; a missing manifest reassembles; Composition edits don't change
  the APIs version, and moving an XRD to another file does.
• Proven against old code: the regression tests for the stamp file,
  in-group merging, the swap rollback, Go and KCL determinism, per-file
  checks, definitions-only hashing and the empty JSON index fail on the
  previous code.
• Rust: the real Rust generator on three sources, two of which share
  a module, through the merged pass; and the Rust merger's own conflict
  check. Without the merger the first fails with conflicting generated file models/Cargo.toml, and without the models/ fix rust/src/lib.rs
  is missing.
• Review fixes: a YAML syntax error in an XRD fails, naming the file;
  a conflict between the project's APIs and a dependency suggests removing
  one of the definitions.
• Race detector: passes on the schema and dependency packages.

Manual testing, real generators (Go, JSON, KCL, Python; Docker images
already pulled). The project was function-auto-ready, k8s v1.35.0 and one
XRD, compared against main:

• The tree has the same file paths as main, and shared files are
  identical apart from the generator fixes above. The tree also contains
  the XRD's models, which main's dependency add leaves out.
• Removing the k8s dependency cleans the tree from 810 files to 47.
  main keeps all 810.
• An XRD edit regenerates only the APIs group, and a node_modules change
  regenerates nothing.
• Eight cold runs produced identical trees.
• dependency add failures (unreachable URL, missing package, bad k8s
  version) leave crossplane-project.yaml unchanged.

Manual testing on modelplane
(13 providers plus their family providers, 16 dependency sources in all,
one git CRD source, about 14 XRDs; Python only):

• Starting from modelplane's checked-in schemas/, the first build
  regenerates once. git status then shows only the lock file and 1,133
  Python files, each missing its # filename: line, and nothing else.
  .cache/ and .staging/ don't appear.
• The tree is identical to main's regenerated output, apart from that
  header line.
• No conflicts between the providers, and no duplicate-version warnings
  (they all resolve to one version).
• Per-file checks (with dependency update-cache, on 2,004 Python
  files):
  • a no-op pass takes as long as without them, 13-15s, almost all of it
    dependency resolution;
  • after python -m compileall, the 2,003 .pyc files are left alone;
  • a hand-edited model is restored byte for byte.
• Composition edit: with this PR the APIs group isn't regenerated
  (13.4s). Before the definitions-only change, it was (18.4s).
• Rust (languages: [rust], rebased onto main): 2,203 files from
  the 16 sources with no conflicts, in 15.7s. The tree is identical to
  main's, except that this PR also generates the project's own XRDs:
  src/ai/, plus its pub mod ai; line and two Cargo features.
  cargo check --all-features compiles the merged crate.

Timing (median of three runs, Docker images already pulled):

	main	This PR
Small project: project build, no changes	3.7s	1.5s
Small project: project build after an XRD edit	3.5s	3.6s
Small project: dependency add, cold	6.8s	7.6s (also generates the XRD)
Small project: dependency add, no changes	0.1s	1.5s (registry calls)
modelplane: project build, cold	92s	94s
modelplane: project build, no changes	10.6s	10.3s
modelplane: project build after an XRD edit	8.8s	11.0s

The modelplane rows are single runs from 2026-10-15 (the small-project rows
are medians of three). The XRD-edit row is the PR's promised behavior in
action: only the APIs group regenerates and the 16 dependency sources come
from the cache; on main an XRD edit costs about the same only because
main regenerates apis/ on every build while caching dependencies
per source. In both branches a no-change build is dominated by registry
calls (16 packages, ~5s when warm, ~90s when the CLI's package cache is
cold), not schema generation.

A no-change modelplane build is almost all registry calls (16 packages),
so it doesn't get the small project's speedup. modelplane deletes schemas/ before every
build to work around the stale models (commit a3e9ba9), which makes every
build cold. It can drop that step once this lands.

Manual testing of render (the small project plus a Python function
from function generate that builds a Deployment from the XRD's model and
the k8s models):

• The output is identical to main's.
• A no-change re-render regenerates nothing (stamps and lock untouched).
• Renaming an XRD field regenerates only the APIs group. The model gets the
  new field, the old one is gone, and the function builds against it.

Not tested yet:

• project run with real generators;
• a first run with no images pulled;
• TypeScript, which is covered when Project typescript support #170 is rebased onto this PR. Its
  commit applies cleanly on top, its tests pass (including the Docker
  test), and a project with several dependencies per group compiles with
  tsc.

📝 Walkthrough

The PR collects dependency and project API sources before schema generation. It adds grouped caching and generator fingerprints, makes output deterministic in several generators, and updates project build and function-generation paths to use the combined sources.

Changes: Schema generation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Source collection and dependency traversal internal/schemas/manager/source.go, internal/schemas/manager/source_test.go, internal/dependency/manager.go, internal/dependency/manager_test.go	Filesystem API sources filter eligible YAML resources and exclude configured project directories. The dependency manager collects direct and transitive sources, reuses fetched packages, and reports multiple resolved versions.
Generator fingerprints and output consistency internal/schemas/generator/*	Generators expose fingerprints for output-affecting configuration. Go and KCL generation use sorted output order. KCL uses its pinned image edition. Python finalization removes generated filename headers.
Grouped schema cache and assembly internal/schemas/manager/lock.go, internal/schemas/manager/manager.go, internal/schemas/manager/manager_test.go, internal/schemas/generator/rust.go, internal/schemas/generator/rust_merge_test.go	The schema manager caches dependency and API groups separately. Freshness checks include source versions, languages, and generator fingerprints. It assembles language trees, merges Rust outputs, handles conflicting generated files, and writes a versioned lock.
Build and function-generation integration internal/project/build.go, cmd/crossplane/function/generate.go	Project builds and function schema generation pass collected dependency sources and project APIs to combined schema generation. Function generation constructs a dependency manager from project configuration and a package client.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d7b1a

Schema generation now fails on overlapping definitions between a project's APIs and its dependencies, and its documentation says the opposite. A malformed XRD can also be skipped without any message. Both are bounded issues that deserve owner attention, and neither should block the merge.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The PR meets the coding requirements in #428. GenerateFromMultipleSources collects dependency and API sources, including transitive dependencies, and generates separate cached groups. The v2 lock records languages, group source maps, and generator fingerprints. Stale groups, missing or changed generated files, old locks, and damaged locks trigger regeneration or reassembly. Staging and swap logic removes stale output and preserves the prior tree on failure. API hashing excludes non-definition YAML. Command integration uses the same generation path, and tests cover these behaviors. TypeScript remains a follow-up as described by #428 and does not block this PR.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within #428. Dependency source collection, lock handling, cache validation, staging, conflict detection, generator determinism fixes, and Rust schema merging support the merged schema-generation design. The command changes make all required generation paths use that design. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Full details: Breaking Changes

Explanation

No breaking change matching the check is present. The PR changes no files under apis/**. In cmd/crossplane/function/generate.go, the public fields and flags Name, PipelinePath, Language, and ProjectFile keep the same names, tags, defaults, and options. The command still generates project API schemas; it now also collects dependency sources through an internal helper. No public field or flag was removed, renamed, or made newly required, and no existing command behavior was removed.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The pull request description clearly describes the merged, cached schema-generation changes, including dependency and API grouping, lock handling, caching, conflict detection, rollback, generator updates, testing, and known limitations.

Full details: Feature Gate Requirement

Explanation

The pull request introduces a significant, unconditional schema-generation behavior change. internal/project/build.go:265-280 replaces per-source generation with CollectSources and GenerateFromMultipleSources; cmd/crossplane/function/generate.go:201-216 also fetches dependencies and uses the merged path. The schema manager adds caching, stale-output removal, atomic swaps, and lock behavior. The reviewed diff changes no configuration or feature-gate files. Existing flags only control Go generator options or command maturity, and no caller selects a legacy path.

Resolution

Add a dedicated feature flag in internal/config/config.go, expose it in cmd/crossplane/config/set.go and help, and pass it through build, function generation, dependency operations, render, and other affected callers. Use the existing source-by-source generation path when the flag is disabled. Default the new merged path off until it is stable.

199-208: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Document the new remote-dependency behavior of function generate.

Can you confirm that this behavior is intended? The command previously generated schemas from local APIs only. It now collects all configured dependencies before scaffolding the function. An uncached xpkg dependency, Git source, HTTP source, or Kubernetes source can require registry or network access and can cause generation to fail. Exact or cached xpkg references may not need registry access, so this is not an unconditional requirement.

If this behavior is intended, document it in the command help. Multiple-version warnings also use os.Stderr, which is the spinner's output stream, so they can interleave with the spinner.

Suggested help text

 The `function generate` command creates an embedded function in the specified
 language under the project's `functions/` directory. It optionally idempotently
 adds the new function to the end of a Composition's pipeline when given a
 Composition path.
+
+The command also regenerates schemas for all configured project dependencies.
+Some dependencies require registry or network access.

Addressing the remaining CodeRabbit nitpick about function generate's remote-dependency behavior:

Before this PR, function generate generated schemas from apis/ alone — dependency models were missing until a separate project build ran. It now collects every dependency declared in the project file, like project build: the generated function's imports need those models.

Behavioral consequences, now documented in the PR description:

• The first function generate in a project needs network access (or a warm per-user package cache at ~/Library/Caches/crossplane/xpkg); CollectSources resolves and fetches every declared dependency.
• Later runs reuse the same two caches: the per-user package cache (downloads) and the new project-local schemas/.cache/ (generator output), so warm repeat runs do not re-run generators.

The PR description now also explains the two-cache split: package cache (per-user, PullIfNotPresent, dependency clean-cache clears it) vs output cache (per-project, keyed by source versions + generator fingerprint). A code comment sits at the CollectSources call in 1d5533e.

Open the PR description's cache bullet for reviewer input: whether the per-project output cache should move into the per-user cache directory (shared across projects, no duplicated tree inside checked-in schemas/, at the cost of per-machine rather than portable state).

[stevendborrelli]

This is what the v2 lock file looks like with modelplane:

It tracks changes in:

• languages
• hash of the the CLI build + language generarators
• apis directory
• dependencies

40-63: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Use cmp.Diff with cmpopts.EquateErrors() for the error case.

The table structure, the reason fields and the PascalCase case names look good. The error case uses strings.Contains(err.Error(), ...). The path instructions require "use cmp.Diff with cmpopts.EquateErrors() for error testing". MergeGeneratedSchemas builds the error with errors.Errorf, so the test cannot compare it to a sentinel value. One option is a want.err field compared with cmpopts.AnyError. Another option is to keep the substring check and add a short comment that explains why. Which do you prefer?

As per path instructions: "Enforce table-driven test structure: ... use cmp.Diff with cmpopts.EquateErrors() for error testing."

Also applies to: 74-79

@coderabbitai Following up on two nitpicks from your review summaries, both addressed in c6d8737:

function generate remote-dependency behavior (review of 5146ddc)

• The command's help (help/generate.md) now says that it generates schemas for the project's APIs and every dependency, and that the first run in a project may need network access and registry credentials.
• The multiple-version warning no longer goes straight to stderr during source collection, where the spinner draws. The dependency manager records it. Each of the eight commands that collect sources (function generate, dependency add, dependency update-cache, render xr, render op, composition generate, project build, project run) prints it once its spinner has stopped. It is printed even when the step failed, because the warning can explain the failure.

Error assertions in rust_merge_test.go (review of d7b1aee)

• The error case now uses cmp.Diff(tc.wantErr, err, cmpopts.EquateErrors()) with cmpopts.AnyError.
• It keeps one substring check on the message, with a comment saying why: the error is built with errors.Errorf, so there is no sentinel, and the message naming the conflicting file is the behavior under test.

@stevendborrelli Thanks for the fixes and the explanation. I inspected c6d8737. Both review points are addressed:

• function generate help now documents dependency schema generation and possible network and registry credential requirements.
• All eight commands print collected warnings after their spinner stops, including on failure.
• rust_merge_test.go now uses cmp.Diff with cmpopts.EquateErrors() and cmpopts.AnyError. The substring check is appropriate because it verifies that the diagnostic names the conflicting file.

No further changes are needed for these points. I did not run tests.

Timestamp: 2026-10-21T09:06:44.042Z
Learning: In crossplane/cli, internal/dependency/manager.go collects multiple-version warnings instead of printing them during source collection. Commands must call Manager.PrintWarnings after their spinner stops and before returning a step error, because warnings can explain failures and must not interfere with spinner output.

Learnt from: stevendborrelli
URL: https://github.com/crossplane/cli/pull/430

Timestamp: 2026-10-21T09:06:44.042Z
Learning: In crossplane/cli, internal/schemas/generator/rust_merge_test.go intentionally retains a substring assertion for the conflicting-file diagnostic alongside cmp.Diff with cmpopts.EquateErrors() and cmpopts.AnyError. The error uses errors.Errorf without a sentinel, and naming the conflicting file is behavior under test.

Timestamp: 2026-10-21T08:48:59.838Z
Learning: In crossplane/cli, `function generate` and `project build` use the same dependency resolution path. Resolving dependency version ranges requires listing registry tags even when package contents are cached. Do not recommend running `crossplane project build` to fix an offline dependency-resolution failure in `function generate`.
