Pull Request Description

What

• Keep every successful phase's explicit build requirements in the same build environment's later uv pip install --upgrade calls. Preserve separate specifiers rather than replacing them by package name.
• Report earlier bounds when a later install conflicts; only record requirements after a successful install.
• Cover phase accumulation and conflict reporting with focused regressions, and document the build-environment invariant.

Why

Closes #1353. An initial setuptools<82 bound can otherwise disappear from the later setuptools_scm<8 install, allowing uv to upgrade setuptools past the build system's supported range.

How tested

• RED: uvx --from hatch hatch run test:test tests/test_build_environment.py::test_install_keeps_earlier_explicit_bounds_across_phases -q --no-cov --tb=short — 1 expected assertion failure (:all: instead of the earlier setuptools<82 bound).
• RED: same command targeting ::test_failed_later_install_reports_earlier_bounds — 1 expected failure (error listed only setuptools>=82).
• Review follow-up RED: in that test, assertion resolve.call_count == 1 failed (2 == 1): reporting prior bounds performed redundant resolver lookups. GREEN after follow-up: prior bounds are printed separately and only current-phase requirements are resolved.
• GREEN: uvx --from hatch hatch run test:test tests/test_build_environment.py tests/test_dependencies.py tests/test_bootstrapper_iterative.py -q --no-cov --tb=short — 148 passed, 2 skipped.
• uvx --from hatch hatch run mypy:mypy -p fromager — 77 source files clean.
• uvx --from hatch hatch run lint:fix src/fromager/build_environment.py tests/test_build_environment.py and uvx --from hatch hatch run lint:check — passed; git diff --check — passed.
• Documentation presence check failed before the doc edit and passed after. No full e2e suite was run (repository guidance reserves it for explicit requests).

Walkthrough

BuildEnvironment now retains explicit requirements from successful installation phases and includes them in later install commands. Failed installs report both earlier and current requirements. Tests cover cumulative installs and failed-install reporting. Documentation describes the cross-phase resolution behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 51899

No merge-blocking issue was identified. The failure-report test could more precisely verify which requirement is resolved.

Explanation

Issue #1353 requires later build dependency installs to retain earlier explicit bounds, preserve separate specifiers and shared constraints, keep --upgrade, and update requirements only after successful installs. BuildEnvironment.install() accumulates requirements in a per-instance tuple, passes the full tuple to uv pip install --upgrade, and updates the tuple only after run() succeeds. _safe_install() reports earlier requirements as earlier bounds and resolves only the current phase requirements. The regression tests verify accumulated specifiers, both sides of a conflict, and one resolver call. The documentation records the invariant. The phase-specific dependency files and graph classifications remain separate from installation accumulation.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes in src/fromager/build_environment.py, tests/test_build_environment.py, and docs/concepts/bootstrapper-architecture.rst directly implement or document issue #1353. The tests support the implementation. No unrelated changes are identified.

build_env._installed_requirements + deps to print earlier installed requirement
bounds separately, and resolve only the current phase’s requirements. Keep
earlier bounds in the report without triggering additional sequential PyPI

CI follow-up on 9f73993: pre-commit failed while building the editorconfig-checker hook because its binary download returned HTTP 504 Gateway Time-out (job 128695487524), before it checked the patch. On this same head, uvx --from hatch hatch run lint:precommit passes all 12 hooks, including editorconfig, Ruff, mypy, and Mergify lint; related unit tests: 148 passed / 2 skipped. gh run rerun 42469117207 was denied ("workflow file may be broken"), so a maintainer rerun is needed if GitHub does not retry automatically.

This should be 0.104.0, 103 was already released.

[kocaemre]

Thanks for catching the release marker. I changed only the new build-bound note to .. versionchanged:: 0.104.0; the earlier 0.103.0 note remains unchanged. Confirmed 0.103.0 is the latest published release. RED: the scoped 0.104.0 presence check failed on the prior head. GREEN: the same check passed; uvx --from hatch hatch run test:test tests/test_build_environment.py tests/test_dependencies.py tests/test_bootstrapper_iterative.py --no-cov -q --tb=short passed (148 passed, 2 skipped); uvx --from hatch hatch run lint:precommit passed all 12 hooks; git diff --check passed. New CI is pending; re-review welcome.

Assert which requirement the failure report resolves.

The mock accepts any requirement. call_count == 1 still passes if MissingDependency resolves the earlier setuptools<82 requirement instead of the failing setuptools>=82 requirement. Check the call argument so this test guards the intended behavior. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Proposed test change

     assert resolve.call_count == 1
+    assert resolve.call_args.kwargs["req"] == Requirement("setuptools>=82")

Based on learnings: flag argument-insensitive mocks when outcome assertions do not check the relevant call arguments. As per path instructions: “Verify test actually tests the intended behavior.”

Review comment at @tests/test_build_environment.py at line 69:
Update the assertion in the test around `resolve.call_count` to verify that the
resolver was called with the failing `setuptools>=82` requirement, not merely
that it was called once. Preserve the existing call-count assertion and use the
test’s established requirement representation.
