Bugs
* validator: don't re-raise on unknown style. The second column_for_style
lookup (used to route persistent vs event) now sits in try/except so an
unknown style is recorded by _check_column_routing and skipped instead
of crashing the whole validation pass.
* general_vqa._target_cameras: when restrict_to_default_camera is set but
the configured camera_key isn't one the provider exposes, warn and fall
back to all cameras instead of returning a phantom key that KeyErrors
deep in frame decode.
* interjections: clamp interjection timestamps to frame_timestamps[0]
rather than a hardcoded 0.0 (datasets can start at non-zero t).
Docs / code drift
* annotation_pipeline.mdx: drop the phantom 'vocabulary discovery / phase
0 / --vocabulary.* / canonical_vocabulary.json' section (none of it
exists); describe the real describe->segment + coverage-stitch flow.
Soften the src/lerobot/tools/ + TOOL_REGISTRY reference to 'not part of
this PR' (matches tools.mdx, which already marks the runtime layer as
not-yet-implemented). Fix the --push_to_hub/--new_repo_id wording. Note
the default is now a single h200. Add a 'Contributing new modules'
section inviting module / prompt / quality contributions.
* executor docstring: six phases, no phantom phase 0.
run_hf_job.py
* add the Apache 2.0 license header (was flagged repeatedly).
* default to a single GPU: flavor=h200, parallel_servers=1, num_gpus=1
(scale to h200x4 noted in the docstring).
* pin the install to @main instead of the feature branch (won't break
after merge).
Naming / cleanup
* rename dest_repo_id -> new_repo_id across config / script / example /
test to match the LeRobot dataset edit tools.
* rename prompt templates module_N_*.txt -> descriptive (plan_*,
interjections_*, vqa.txt) and update every load_prompt() call.
* remove dead _messages_to_prompt (used only by the removed in-process
backends).
* declare _warned_decode_fail (frames) and _warned_no_camera (vqa) as
real init=False dataclass fields instead of getattr monkey-patches.
* scope bandit B607 to the two ffmpeg subprocess.run sites via
'# nosec B607' and drop it from the global skip list.
Tests
* fix stale canned-VLM markers ('ONE realistic interruption' ->
'compact interjection', 'Update the memory' -> 'compressed semantic
memory') and drop the dead 'concise hierarchical PLAN' plan responders
(plan generation is deterministic now) in run_e2e_smoke,
test_pipeline_recipe_render, test_modules.
* run_e2e_smoke now asserts interjection + speech rows are produced so a
stale marker can't silently pass again.
* drop remaining 'PR 1' / 'PR 2' references from test comments / names.
Verified: tests/annotations + tests/datasets/test_language +
tests/scripts/test_lerobot_annotate (31 passed); make-style E2E smoke
(interjections=1 speech_atoms=2); pre-commit (ruff, mypy, bandit,
prettier) clean.

Fast Pytest Tests failed at COLLECTION in the base '--extra test' tier
with 'ModuleNotFoundError: No module named datasets': tests/annotations/
conftest.py imported the fixture dataset builder (-> lerobot.datasets ->
the HF 'datasets' lib + pandas/pyarrow), which only ship under the
'dataset' extra, so the whole annotations package crashed.
Fix uses the repo's proven module-level guard pattern (see
tests/datasets/test_language.py), NOT a conftest-level importorskip —
verified empirically that pytest.importorskip raised during conftest
*import* is treated as a collection ERROR (exit 1), while module-level
importorskip is a clean SKIP.
* conftest.py: import build_annotation_dataset LAZILY inside the
fixtures so the conftest itself imports cleanly in every tier.
* test_modules / test_validator / test_writer / test_pipeline_recipe_
render: add module-level pytest.importorskip('datasets') +
('pandas') before the pyarrow / lerobot.* imports (# noqa: E402 to
match the existing convention). pyarrow-importing modules place the
guard before the pyarrow import.
* tests/scripts/test_lerobot_annotate.py: same guard (its _push_to_hub
path imports lerobot.datasets).
Result:
- base / hardware / viz tiers (no dataset extra): annotation tests
skip cleanly; the rest of the suite runs -> exit 0.
- dataset tier: datasets present -> guards pass through -> annotation
tests run with the stub VLM. The pipeline modules import only
stdlib + relative + lerobot.datasets (no module-level datatrove /
vllm / openai), so they import fine there.
