Fixes #4059.

The generators write BAML declaration names straight into target-language identifier
positions without checking them against that language's reserved words, so a BAML name that
happens to be a keyword produces a generated SDK that does not parse. In TypeScript a BAML
enum import emits export enum import {, which is TS1359. In C++ an enum member named
and emits and = 0x...ULL inside an enum class, which is not an identifier at all. In
Python a class field named pass emits pass: str in a class body. This escapes the
identifier in the Python, TypeScript and C++ generators. Only the language spelling moves:
the BAML name still goes on the wire.

Commit What it changes
07e49ff python generator: escape reserved words in every remaining identifier site
9128520 python bridge: put BAML names on the wire for escaped fields and enum members
bdb6255 python: review response, generator-stamped wire-name marker and TypeVar allocator
013fbfe typescript generator: escape reserved words in declaration names
044a471 cpp generator: escape the alternative operator tokens

Escaping fires only on a name the target language reserves. Every other name is emitted
exactly as it is today, so a schema that names no reserved word of a given language renders
byte-identically in that language.

Why this is no longer Python only

I opened this as a Python fix and it is still mostly Python: 12 of the 18 files. The
end-to-end fixture is what widened it. harness_setup's discover_fixtures enrolls any
directory containing a baml_src/ across every SDK with no per-SDK opt-out, so
sdk_tests/fixtures/reserved_keywords/ also ran against the TypeScript and C++ generators,
and both emitted generated code that does not compile.

Those two gaps are pre-existing, not something the fixture introduced. Neither generator
changed behavior to produce them: both write declaration names the same way for any input,
and the escaping each already had was applied to other positions. reserved_keywords is the
only fixture under sdk_tests/fixtures/ that gives a class, enum or type alias a declaration
name reserved in one of these languages, which is why nothing had exercised either gap before.

I would rather fix them here than land a fixture that turns two other generators red. If you
would prefer them split into their own PRs, say so and I will split them. One cost worth
naming so the choice is informed: CI on this fork needs a maintainer to approve each run, so
three PRs means three approvals rather than one.

TypeScript

sdkgen_typescript_shared already had is_js_reserved and JS_RESERVED, but they were
applied only to parameters, free functions and child-namespace re-exports. Class, enum and
type-alias names were written raw, so a BAML enum import emitted export enum import {:
TS1359: Identifier expected. 'import' is a reserved word that cannot be used here, and the
parse error cascaded through the rest of the file.

The fix adds safe_decl_name beside safe_param_name and applies it at the two places that
name a binding: emit::build_emitted, where an IR name becomes an emitted symbol, and
translate_ty::render_name_ref, which re-derives every cross-reference from the IR rather
than reading the declaration back. Escaping one side alone would turn a parse error into a
dangling reference. Type parameters take the same escape in generic_decl. Escaping at
build_emitted also covers _typemap.ts, which indexes the module namespace through a
Record<string, unknown> cast; reading that cast, an unescaped symbol would resolve to
undefined at runtime with no compile-time signal. That last part is my reading of the code,
not a path I executed.

Only the positions JavaScript actually rejects are touched. Enum members and class properties
are IdentifierName, where reserved words are legal, so enum Kw still emits
import = "import", not = "not", try = "try" and so on, and tsc accepts every one. The
fixture's class None, enum True, type False and type lambda are also emitted raw,
because none of those is a JavaScript reserved word.

Wire identity is unchanged. Between the before and after trees, _typemap.ts differs by
exactly one line: the key "user.import" is untouched and only the symbol it resolves to
moves from ["import"] to ["import_"]. Dispatch still names the raw BAML FQN, and enum
member values, marshalling parameter names and the $generic / typeParams arrays all keep
their source spelling.

C++

CPP_KEYWORDS listed 65 tokens and omitted every alternative token from [lex.digraph].
Per [lex.digraph]/2 those behave as their primary token in all respects except spelling, so
they are not usable as identifiers, and a BAML enum with and, not or or members emitted
and = 0xe6f79719051ff286ULL, inside enum class Kw : uint64_t. gcc rejects it with
error: expected identifier before 'and' token, and because the enum never closes, the rest
of the header goes with it.

The fix adds the 11 alternative tokens plus the 16 other keywords the table was missing (the
four char*_t types, the four named casts, decltype, static_assert, thread_local,
consteval, constinit and the three co_ keywords), bringing it to the full 92 of C++23:
81 keywords from [lex.key] plus 11 alternative tokens from [lex.digraph]. A test asserts the
count and that the list stays sorted and duplicate-free. No call-site change was needed:
preferred_token already projects every NameRequest through project, which appends an
underscore on a hit.

Wire identity is unaffected. CppName stores wire separately from canonical and derives
it from the BAML FQN. The enumerator values are byte-identical across the change (they are
FNV-1a-64 hashes of the BAML wire string), and the generated codec still round-trips both
directions: case ::baml_sdk::Kw::and_: return "and"; and
if (value == "and") return ::baml_sdk::Kw::and_;.

import deliberately stays unescaped in C++: it is not a keyword, it is an identifier with
special meaning only at the start of a module directive. With gcc 13.3.0 on linux/aarch64 I
syntax-checked a translation unit including the generated header at both -std=c++17 and
-std=c++20, so enum class import is not a latent break for a consumer building at a newer
standard than the SDK's own cxx_std_17 pin.

Python

escape_python_keyword already exists in sdkgen_python_pydantic2 (emit/mod.rs) with the
full hard-keyword list, but it only runs on function names and method bindings. Enum
variants, class fields, class/enum/type-alias names and TypeVar names are emitted verbatim.
So BAML like this:

enum Cell {
    None,
    Filled,
}

class Step {
    pass string,
}

generates Python that fails to import with a SyntaxError. A field named lambda is worse:
lambda: int in a class body parses as a lambda expression, so the field silently vanishes
instead of erroring.

Two more things surfaced while fixing it:

  • Class methods are emitted as Callable-typed property annotations, which bypasses that
    method-binding escape, so keyword method names broke the same way.
  • Escaping identifiers is only half of it. Decode (engine to host) matches class fields by
    BAML wire name and enums by value, but encode (host to engine) was emitting the Python
    identifier: dict(value) field names and enum .name. Renaming pass to pass_ in the
    generator alone would fix imports and outputs while silently breaking inputs.

Same shape as the Go work in #4067: escape the Python spelling, never touch the BAML wire
identity.

Commit 1 (generator, sdkgen_python_pydantic2):

  • Escape every remaining identifier site: enum variants, class properties, class/enum/type-alias
    names (including cross-references through render_name_ref, __init__ re-exports, and
    .pyi stubs), and TypeVar names. The typemap and runtime FQNs keep the raw BAML names.
  • Escaped enum members keep their value verbatim (None_ = "None"), which is what keeps
    decode-by-value working.
  • An escaped field renders as pass_: T = pydantic.Field(alias="pass"), and any class with an
    escaped field gets populate_by_name=True. A class whose fields are all ordinary gains none
    of that field-level machinery: no alias, no populate_by_name, and no __baml_wire_names__
    marker. The class-name, reference, and TypeVar escaping described above still applies
    whenever the class name itself, or a name it references, is a keyword, so only a fully
    keyword-free schema renders byte-identically to today.
  • Collisions resolve per scope with a used set (declaring both pass and pass_ yields
    pass__ and pass_), plus a debug_assert at the render boundary so a keyword can never
    slip through unescaped.
  • Soft keywords (match, case, type) are left alone.

Commit 2 (bridge, baml_bridge/proto.py):

  • Class-field encode sends each field through its alias when present, falling back to the
    field name, so escaped fields go on the wire under the BAML name.
  • Enum encode sends value.value instead of value.name, matching decode (already
    cls(<wire value>)). Since name equals value for every non-escaped member, existing SDKs
    see no wire change.

Commit 2 touches the live encode path, so it deserves the closest review. Two structural facts
bound the risk: a generated enum member's value is always the BAML variant name
(baml_language/crates/baml_project/src/client_codegen.rs:363 hardcodes
value: v.name.to_string(), and variant aliases are not applied to codegen), and before this
PR the generator never emitted Field(alias=...), so the alias lookup falls back to the plain
field name across every existing SDK. Commit 2 initially consumed every alias and every enum
value on encode; review showed that regressed hand-written models with their own aliases and
custom enums, so the response commit replaces both paths with an explicit generator-stamped
marker.

Commit 3 (review response). One commit folds in the CodeRabbit findings plus three
further review passes I ran against my own branch:

  • Root-routed import anchors for keyword classes are escaped, so a non-root leaf emits
    from .. import None_ instead of the raw keyword (the actual site was record_name_routing
    in leaf.rs; render_name_ref already escaped the annotation, which is why the import line
    diverged from it). Callable-child signature imports are aggregated into the parent .pyi
    guarded block only when the referenced class required keyword escaping, so a keyword-free
    callable child leaves the parent stub unchanged.
  • TypeVars are allocated once per leaf instead of per scope: distinct raw TypeVar spellings
    never collapse to one emitted name, while identical spellings (the same binder reused across
    scopes, or two independently generic functions both spelling T) deliberately share one
    module-level TypeVar, which is sound because each scope is independently generic on it. A
    keyword-escaped TypeVar bumps past every leaf-level class, enum, alias, module import anchor,
    aggregated child-signature import, and child submodule binding it could collide with,
    order-independently; callable-child helper bindings need no reservation because keyword
    bumping only appends trailing underscores and can never produce an underscore-leading name.
    Static-method signatures resolve through the enclosing class map (BAML statics can carry
    class generics), and callback Protocols render under their owner's map and deduplicate on the
    rendered signature. Non-keyword type parameters still map to themselves and the
    callable-child stub aggregation is keyword-gated, so keyword-free schemas render
    byte-identically.
  • The bridge now chooses a wire identity only from an explicit provenance marker
    (__baml_wire_names__ on classes, __baml_wire_values__ on enums); it no longer infers
    provenance from an alias or enum-value shape. The generator stamps the marker on a class that
    has at least one escaped field, and on an enum that has at least one escaped member, and the
    marker lists only those escaped attribute or member names mapped to their raw BAML names, so
    the container's own name never drives emission. When the bridge finds no marker entry for an
    attribute or member, it wires that attribute or member name, which is the pre-PR behavior;
    ordinary hand-written models and custom enums carry no marker and take this fallback. The
    lookup is a getattr that honors only a dict-shaped marker (anything else under the marker
    name is ignored and the name fallback applies), so a hand-written type that deliberately
    declares a well-formed marker, or inherits one through the MRO, is honored on the same path.
    Because the marker values are generator-emitted string literals and a member's .value is
    never forwarded, an enum member whose value is a non-string object can no longer reach the
    protobuf string field, so the earlier encode-time TypeError cannot occur. The runtime shape
    inference (alias for classes, member value for enums) is deleted.
  • Corrects a false claim in two of my own earlier comments: BAML admits 24 of the 35 Python
    hard keywords as class/enum/alias names, not only None/True/False. The end-to-end
    fixture now drives lowercase keyword names (pass, import, lambda) through generate,
    import, and the engine.

Tests

  • sdk_tests/fixtures/reserved_keywords/baml_src/main.baml: an enum Kw whose members are
    keywords in several target languages, a class Fields with keyword-named fields, the
    keyword-named types None, True, False, pass, import and lambda, and round-trip
    functions over them. Soft-keyword negative controls included.
  • sdk_tests/crates/python_pydantic2/reserved_keywords/customizable/test_reserved_keywords.py:
    10 pytest cases round-tripping escaped enum members, class fields and keyword-named types
    through the engine.
  • sdks/python/tests/test_reserved_keywords.py (8 cases, one cross-checking the Rust keyword
    list against keyword.kwlist) and sdks/python/tests/test_bridge_alias_enum_compat.py
    (23 cases) pin hand-written models and custom string / integer enums to their pre-PR encode
    behavior, drive the marker consumption path for escaped fields and members including the
    collision-bumped case, and guard against re-regression.
  • TypeScript generator crate: safe_decl_name_escapes_only_reserved_words,
    generic_decl_escapes_reserved_type_parameters,
    reserved_declaration_name_is_escaped_and_wire_identity_is_preserved, and
    reserved_declaration_names_are_re_escaped_at_reference_sites.
  • C++ generator crate: test_alternative_operator_tokens_are_escaped and
    test_cpp_keywords_match_the_standard_table.
  • Python generator crate: the keyword tests loop over all 35 hard keywords for enum members and
    class fields (including the lambda presence check), plus name cross-reference, collision,
    soft-keyword and byte-identical controls, and the response commit's tests pin the leaf
    TypeVar allocator, the static and callback map threading, the keyword-gated parent-stub import
    aggregation, the import-anchor escape, and the wire-name marker emission and reservation.

What I ran, and where

Nothing below is a statement about your CI. Both workflows on this head are still sitting at
action_required, so upstream CI has never run on it. Everything here is work I ran myself.

The fixture on three platforms

I put this PR's exact tree on a branch on my public fork with one extra file, a workflow that
runs the sdk_tests harness on ubuntu-latest, windows-latest and macos-latest, and ran
it. That branch is one commit ahead of this PR head and the only file that differs anywhere in
the tree is the workflow YAML, so the results describe this code. Two things to know before the
numbers: it is not your CI configuration (it deliberately carries no mise, no direnv and no
Infisical), and it writes every cell's exit code and every nextest summary to a file instead of
failing the job, so the run's green badge is not the evidence. The numbers below are read out of
those files. Run:
https://github.com/addiplus/baml/actions/runs/31695117485

38 reserved_keywords cells passed. No cell produced a compiler or test failure. Two did not
start at all, for the infrastructure reason below.

Cell macOS arm64 Ubuntu x86_64 Windows x86_64
cpp compile, run pass pass did not run, see below
typescript tsc_node, esm_node pass pass pass
typescript_web tsc_web, tsc_workers, esm_web, esm_workers pass pass pass
rust fmt, clippy, cargo_test pass pass pass
python_pydantic2 ruff, pyright, pytest not scheduled pass pass
swift swift_test pass not scheduled not scheduled

Windows TypeScript is the leg I most wanted, because the fixture had never run there:
SETUP PASS [864.236s] typescript_pnpm_win on the Windows-native setup.ps1 path, then
esm_node and tsc_node, 2 tests run: 2 passed, 17 skipped. So tsc --noEmit accepts the
generated TypeScript on x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.

C++ on Windows did not run, and I am claiming nothing there. The fixture driver shells out to
bash test.sh compile, bash resolved to WSL's, and the runner reported
Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions. Both cells died in 0.24 seconds,
before any compiler started. The C++ SDK itself built on that leg. Unverified, not failing.

macos-latest is arm64, so this gives no x86_64 macOS coverage, and Python is not scheduled on
that leg. Every build_diagnostics.txt came back empty on all three legs: zero codegen
soft-failures for any SDK on any platform.

Generated output is identical across those platforms

I hashed every file under sdk_tests/crates/*/reserved_keywords/generated/. macOS arm64
against Ubuntu x86_64: 270 files compared, 270 byte-identical raw, no normalization of any
kind. Against Windows, 229 of the 270 match raw; 37 of the remainder differ only in line
endings and are vendored or scaffold files (C++ SDK headers, protobuf, Package.swift,
tsconfig*.json), and the last 4 are package.json and pnpm-lock.yaml, differing in a path
separator inside a local dependency the test harness writes. Every BAML-emitted file is
identical on all three platforms. I did not preserve the aarch64 tree, so I cannot extend that
comparison to a fourth platform.

Swift

The Swift cell is #[ignore]d in the harness, so I forced it with --run-ignored all and it
executed rather than being skipped: PASS [159.297s] sdk_test_swift reserved_keywords::swift_test, 1 test run: 1 passed (1 slow), 7 skipped. swift test builds
the package first, so the generated Swift package compiles under Swift 6.3.3 on
arm64-apple-macosx26.0. This PR does not touch the Swift generator; I ran it because the fixture
auto-enrolls there and I wanted to know. One thing worth recording, because it looks wrong at a
glance: the generated Swift carries a bare unescaped case async and public var async: Swift.Int in the same file as func round_trip_fields_async(...) async throws, and that is
correct, because async is contextual in Swift. Four true reserved words are backtick-escaped
and no others. macOS arm64 only.

The same fixture on linux/aarch64

With gcc 13.3.0, TypeScript 5.9.3 on node 22.23.2 and cargo 1.93.0:

PASS [  18.526s] sdk_test_cpp              reserved_keywords::compile
PASS [ 136.543s] sdk_test_cpp              reserved_keywords::run
PASS [   1.438s] sdk_test_typescript       reserved_keywords::tsc_node
PASS [   0.032s] sdk_test_typescript       reserved_keywords::esm_node
PASS [   2.484s] sdk_test_typescript_web   reserved_keywords::tsc_web

PASS [   0.722s] sdk_test_python_pydantic2 reserved_keywords::pytest
PASS [   2.309s] sdk_test_python_pydantic2 reserved_keywords::pyright

Package totals in the same run: sdk_test_cpp 14/14, sdk_test_typescript 19/19,
sdk_test_typescript_web 34/34, sdk_test_python_pydantic2 20/20, sdk_test_rust 20/20.

A control that fails

A green gate that cannot detect the defect is worth nothing, so I ran the same gates on a
before control at bdb62555, the commit that carries the fixture but neither generator fix:

  • C++ test.sh compile fails with
    generated/baml_sdk/include/baml_sdk.h:811:3: error: expected identifier before 'and' token.
  • TypeScript, running the exact command the harness issues
    (tsc --noEmit --project tsconfig.web.json), fails with
    web/baml_sdk/index.ts(161,13): error TS1359: Identifier expected. 'import' is a reserved word that cannot be used here. On the fixed tree the same command reports no syntax errors.

Generator crates and regression sweep, on linux/aarch64

  • cargo check -p sdkgen_typescript_shared -p sdkgen_cpp: exit 0 on a forced recompile of every
    file the two new commits touch.
  • cargo clippy -p sdkgen_typescript_shared -p sdkgen_cpp --all-targets: zero warnings.
  • cargo test -p sdkgen_typescript_shared -p sdkgen_cpp: 69 passed, 0 failed, 1 ignored. That
    ignored test predates this PR.
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check: exit 0. cargo check over the workspace: exit 0, excluding
    sdk_test_go, whose codegen step needs gofmt, which is not installed on the box I used.
  • All six C++ fixtures still compile (docstrings_etc, function_calls, llm_functions,
    reserved_keywords, type_shapes, unsupported_only). The CPP_KEYWORDS change is global
    to that generator, so that is the blast radius.
  • I swept both generated TypeScript trees, node and web, for any of the 46 ES reserved and
    strict-mode reserved words in declaration position. No matches.

I am not making any claim about the Java, C# or Go generators.

Not covered here (follow-ups)

  • Function and method parameter names. The _define_function string lists are both the
    accepted kwargs and the wire keys, and optional host-callable params arrive keyed by the BAML
    name, so renaming params needs a Python-name-to-wire-name map, not a spelling change. Today a
    keyword param breaks only the .pyi stub, not the import.
  • The module-segment TODO in routing.rs (assert to assert_ for leaf paths) is a separate
    concern, untouched.
  • One pathological corner: declaring both None and None_ as top-level type names in the
    same namespace. Type NAME escaping is stateless (definition and reference sites resolve
    independently through render_name_ref, with no shared state), so that pair collides after
    escaping. Today that source is already unimportable (class None: is emitted verbatim), so
    it is not a regression; a full fix needs the Go generator's allocator-style name projection,
    which felt like scope creep here. Field-versus-field and enum-member collisions, and (since
    the response commit) TypeVar collisions, are resolved.
  • TypeScript has the same twin corner, and CodeRabbit has flagged it on this PR, so I should
    state where I land. safe_decl_name is stateless for the same reason the Python type-name
    escape is: render_name_ref re-derives every cross-reference from the IR rather than reading
    the emitted declaration back, so the escaped spelling has to be reproducible from the bare
    BAML name alone. A leaf declaring both import and import_ therefore emits
    export enum import_ twice. Before this PR that same file emitted export enum import,
    which is TS1359 and takes the whole generated file with it, so it is broken before and broken
    after, differently. The half I do think is worth fixing is generic binders: generic_decl
    maps each type parameter through the same stateless escape, while the Python side of this PR
    allocates TypeVars leaf-globally against a reserved set. That asymmetry is inside my own diff.
    The fix is mirroring the Python allocator into generic_decl, plus a {package, package_}
    test. I kept it out of this PR to hold the diff to the cases that break parsing.
  • A field and a method whose escaped spellings collide (field pass plus method pass_, or
    the mirror image) emit two class members with the same name, and the module still imports:
    the later method assignment clobbers the field's pydantic.Field(alias=...), so the raw wire
    key stops validating and the method object silently replaces the field. A static method
    collides the same way. Both spellings pass baml check; the same raw name on both members is
    rejected at source, so the trigger is specifically distinct raw names whose escaped spellings
    collide. Neither direction produces working output on the base revision, and the two
    directions differ. Non-keyword field plus keyword method collides identically on the base
    revision, because expand_methods already ran method names through escape_python_keyword
    there while class properties were emitted raw; this PR does not change that case. Keyword
    field plus non-keyword method does not import at all on the base revision, since the raw
    keyword field is a SyntaxError; this PR makes that module import and then be silently wrong,
    which is a worse failure shape even though it is not a regression from working output.
    Confirmed with a generator-level repro plus a real pydantic import. The fix is allocating
    field and method final names against one shared per-class set.
  • An ordinary-identifier class that shadows a same-named module TypeVar (class T next to a
    generic <T> in one leaf) already produces un-importable output on canary today; this PR
    neither fixes nor worsens it, and keyword-escaped TypeVars now bump around such classes.
  • A callable child returning an ordinary (non-keyword) root class leaves that class unbound in
    the parent .pyi on the base revision today. The stub aggregation is deliberately
    keyword-gated to keep keyword-free output byte-identical, so the ordinary-name case is left as
    a follow-up.
  • The same stub aggregation anchors only root-routed keyword classes: a callable child returning
    a keyword-named class that lives on a nested (non-root) module path still emits its escaped
    annotation unbound in the parent .pyi, in both bare and dotted reference forms. baml check
    and baml generate accept the trigger schema. The impact is type-checker-only; the runtime
    .py never references the name, so nothing breaks at import or runtime. Confirmed with a
    generator-level repro.
  • The source-level reserved-name checks in baml-lib are gated on GeneratorOutputType, which
    has no variant for this generator, so nothing fires before emission. Worth naming the tension
    rather than asserting my way past it: Detect reserved keywords in specific generator languages #759 asked for exactly this, detection in the static
    analyzer, and fix: enum validation to disallow reserved names as enum values #1955 delivered it, but RESERVED_NAMES_TYPESCRIPT is empty under a comment
    that TypeScript is flexible about the key names it allows, and the position this PR fixes is a
    declaration name, not a key. I read escaping and source-level detection as complements rather
    than alternatives, and which of them you want is your call.

Known limitations and disclosures

  • Marker values are trusted, not validated. The bridge derives wire identity only from the
    generator-stamped marker. The supported contract is narrow: a class or enum either carries no
    marker and wires its plain attribute or member names, or it carries a dict[str, str] mapping
    each escaped Python name to its raw BAML wire name. Generated code only ever emits that second
    form. The bridge checks only that the marker is a dict and ignores anything else (the name
    fallback applies); it does not validate the value types, so a hand-crafted dict whose values
    are not strings, which the generator never emits, can still raise or reshape wire keys at
    encode time. Validating the marker values at the bridge boundary is a reasonable future
    hardening; I kept the encode path a guarded dict lookup here.

  • The Python SDK test setup refreshes baml_language/sdks/python/uv.lock. The checked-in lock
    is stale against pyproject.toml (the lock pins baml-bridge 0.15.0 while the project is at
    0.16.0), so running the SDK test setup rewrites it. That staleness is pre-existing and
    present identically on the base revision; this PR leaves that lock file byte-identical to the
    base and does not bundle a lock refresh, and my test gate restores the file after setup. I
    left the refresh out because it would pull an unrelated dependency bump into a
    keyword-escaping change.

  • Mixed generator/runtime versions fall back to escaped names. The bridge derives wire identity
    only from the generator-stamped marker, so a client generated before this change carries no
    marker. Pairing such an older generated client with a runtime that includes this change makes
    the encoder fall back to the escaped Python name (pass_, None_) on the wire, which can
    mismatch the engine's raw BAML name. baml ships the generator and the Python runtime from one
    release and expects them regenerated in lockstep, so after upgrading the runtime you
    regenerate your client and the markers are present. I did not add a cross-version shim,

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Python Pydantic2 generation now escapes hard-keyword identifiers, preserves raw BAML names for wire encoding, propagates scoped TypeVars and callback identities, and adds TypeScript, C++, bridge, fixture, and end-to-end regression coverage.

Changes

Reserved-name SDK support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Python keyword-aware emission
baml_language/sdks/python/rust/sdkgen_python_pydantic2/src/emit/*
Python declarations, fields, enum variants, aliases, and generic parameters use escaped names with collision handling.
Python type rendering and routing
baml_language/sdks/python/rust/sdkgen_python_pydantic2/src/{leaf.rs,translate_ty.rs,lib.rs}
Generated .py and .pyi output preserves escaped references, scoped TypeVars, callback Protocols, and routed imports.
Wire markers and bridge encoding
baml_language/sdks/python/src/baml_bridge/proto.py, baml_language/sdks/python/tests/*
The bridge uses generated markers for raw field and enum names, with fallback, malformed-marker, inheritance, and collision tests.
Fixture and engine coverage
baml_language/sdk_tests/fixtures/reserved_keywords/..., baml_language/sdk_tests/crates/python_pydantic2/...
Fixtures and tests cover hard keywords, soft-keyword controls, importability, raw wire values, and engine round trips.
TypeScript and C++ reserved-name coverage
baml_language/sdks/typescript/..., baml_language/sdks/cpp/...
TypeScript uses safe declaration and reference names. C++ expands its keyword table and validates escaping.
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8c5a3

The change fixes reserved-word parsing across generated SDKs, but TypeScript names can still collide when a schema contains both a reserved name and its underscore form, potentially producing duplicate declarations or generic binders and breaking SDK compilation. Merge should wait for collision-safe naming or explicit owner acceptance.

@coderabbitai Thanks for the re-review and the two outside-diff findings. I verified both against bb50174 with executable repros before responding, and both are real. I have updated the PR body: the follow-up list now carries both cases, and the collision sentence in the pathological-corner bullet is scoped to field-versus-field.

Field and method escaped names collide (emit/mod.rs). Confirmed, and the failure is nastier than a rendering issue because the module still imports. A class with field pass and method pass_ passes baml check and emits pass_: int = pydantic.Field(alias="pass") immediately followed by pass_ = _define_function(...), so the method assignment clobbers the field's FieldInfo: the alias is lost, model_validate({"pass": 7}) fails, and the method object replaces the field with no error at import time. The mirror case (field pass_, method pass) silently turns a required field into one carrying a function default, and a static method collides the same way. The same raw name on both members is rejected at source, so the trigger is specifically distinct raw names whose escaped spellings collide. Your suggested shape looks right to me: allocate field and method final names against one shared per-class set, preserving a bumped field's raw name through its alias and marker entry. The marker-name reservation in this PR already does exactly that, but only for the marker token.

Callable-child annotations with non-root routed keyword types (leaf.rs). Confirmed, with one scope note in each direction. The mechanism is as you describe: record_keyword_escaped_name_routing anchors only when the routed segment list is empty, and the child protocol renders under the child leaf context, so a keyword class on a nested module path emits an unbound escaped annotation in the parent .pyi (bare and dotted reference forms both reproduce). The root-routed case is bound, as the PR states, so this is strictly the non-root extension. On impact: the runtime .py never references the name, so this is type-checker-only (pyright flags it; nothing breaks at import or runtime), which is why I would scope it as a follow-up rather than grow this PR further.

On your question: yes, please open follow-up issues for the two disclosed adjacent cases (the ordinary-identifier class shadowing a same-named module TypeVar, and the keyword-free callable child leaving an ordinary root class unbound in the parent .pyi), and please open issues for the two confirmed findings above as well.

## Summary
A generated ordinary class can shadow a same-named module-level \`TypeVar\` binding, leaving generic references ambiguous or incorrect in the Python Pydantic v2 SDK output.

## Required change
Update the Python Pydantic v2 generator's leaf-global name allocation so generated class/module bindings and allocated module \`TypeVar\` names cannot collide. Ensure declarations and all type references use the final, collision-free spelling consistently in both \`.py\` and \`.pyi\` output.

## Affected area
- \`baml_language/sdks/python/rust/sdkgen_python_pydantic2/src/leaf.rs\`
- Related TypeVar allocation and type translation paths

## Acceptance criteria
- A schema containing an ordinary identifier class and a module-level \`TypeVar\` with the same emitted name produces distinct legal Python bindings.
- References resolve to the intended class or \`TypeVar\` in generated runtime and stub output.
- Regression coverage verifies the generated files are valid and preserves non-colliding output behavior.

## Summary
A keyword-free callable child can leave an ordinary root class unbound in the parent generated \`.pyi\` file. The runtime \`.py\` does not reference the name, but static type checkers report the parent stub annotation as unresolved.

## Required change
Ensure parent stubs import or otherwise bind ordinary root-routed types referenced by callable-child protocol annotations, independently of whether keyword escaping is involved.

## Affected area
- \`baml_language/sdks/python/rust/sdkgen_python_pydantic2/src/leaf.rs\`
- Callable-child dependency/import aggregation and \`.pyi\` protocol rendering

## Acceptance criteria
- Parent \`.pyi\` output binds ordinary root class references used by keyword-free callable-child annotations.
- Bare and applicable qualified annotation forms resolve under a static type checker.
- Generated runtime output remains unchanged when it does not need the reference.
- Regression coverage covers the unbound ordinary root-class scenario.

issue_3_body=$(cat <<EOF
## Summary
Within a generated class, distinct raw member names can collide after Python keyword escaping across fields and methods. For example, field \`pass\` becomes \`pass_\`, which collides with a method already named \`pass_\`. The subsequent method assignment overwrites the field's \`pydantic.Field(alias="pass")\` metadata without an import-time error. The inverse ordering can silently give a required field a function default; static methods are also affected.

## Required change
Allocate emitted field and method names from a shared per-class namespace after keyword escaping. Preserve a bumped field's original BAML wire name in its Pydantic alias and generated wire-name marker. Apply equivalent collision handling to instance and static methods.

## Affected area
- \`baml_language/sdks/python/rust/sdkgen_python_pydantic2/src/emit/mod.rs\`
- Class member emission and generated Pydantic field wire-name markers

## Acceptance criteria
- Fields and methods with distinct raw names that map to the same escaped Python identifier receive distinct final emitted names.
- \`model_validate\` accepts the original field wire key and encoding preserves it.
- Neither instance nor static method generation overwrites field metadata or changes required-field semantics.
- Regression tests cover both field/method ordering directions and keyword/non-keyword collision pairs.

## Context

issue_4_body=$(cat <<EOF
## Summary
Callable-child protocol annotations can emit an unbound escaped keyword type in a parent \`.pyi\` when the referenced type is routed through a non-root module path. Root-routed keyword types are anchored correctly, but the current routing logic only anchors escaped names when the routed segment list is empty. This is a static-typing-only issue: generated runtime \`.py\` imports successfully, while pyright reports unresolved annotations in the parent stub.

## Required change
Extend callable-child stub dependency routing/import anchoring so escaped keyword types on non-root routed module paths are bound in parent \`.pyi\` annotations. Support both bare and dotted reference forms produced by the type renderer.

## Affected area
- \`baml_language/sdks/python/rust/sdkgen_python_pydantic2/src/leaf.rs\`
- \`record_keyword_escaped_name_routing\` and callable-child protocol/stub rendering
- Related type-reference translation paths

## Acceptance criteria
- Parent stubs bind escaped keyword class references routed through nested/non-root module paths.
- Both reproduced bare and dotted annotation forms pass static type checking.
- The existing root-routed behavior remains correct.
- Runtime \`.py\` behavior remains unchanged.
- Regression tests cover non-root routing specifically.

Hi @hellovai. After we talked about this at the meetup, I went back and re-checked it against the latest main: generated class, field, and enum names still go out unescaped, so the fix here is still needed. My branch is ready and I can rebase it the same day if anything is requested. If you can approve the first-time contributor CI run, I will take it from there. Thanks!

addiplus and others added 5 commits August 13, 2026 00:06
The pydantic2 SDK generator emitted BAML identifiers verbatim, so an
enum member `None`, a class field `pass`, or a keyword class/enum/alias
name produced Python that fails to import with a SyntaxError (issue
BoundaryML#4059). Only free-function and method names were escaped previously.

Generalize the existing `escape_python_keyword` helper to every
Python-visible identifier site, mirroring the Go generator (PR BoundaryML#4067):
keep the raw BAML name on the wire, escape only the language-facing
spelling.

- enum members: `None` renders `None_ = "None"` (value stays the wire
  identity, so decode by value keeps working with no alias needed).
- class fields: `pass` renders `pass_: T = pydantic.Field(alias="pass")`
  and the class gains `populate_by_name=True` so it validates from both
  the escaped attribute and the raw JSON/wire key. Classes with no
  escaped field render byte-identically to before.
- class / enum / type-alias names, plus TypeVars, escape at the
  definition site AND at every cross-reference (translate_ty
  render_name_ref, Ty::TypeVar) so references stay in lockstep.
- collisions inside one scope resolve deterministically: a class or
  enum declaring both `pass` and `pass_` yields `pass__` and `pass_`.
- a debug-assert render-boundary guard panics on any identifier that
  reaches the emitter still a hard keyword (mirrors Go's assertion).

Out of scope (documented follow-ups): function/method parameter
renaming (wire-coupled, needs bridge alias plumbing) and routing.rs
module-segment generalization.

Adds exhaustive 35-keyword unit tests for enum members and class
fields, name/typevar escape + cross-reference agreement, collision
resolution, soft-keyword controls, and a byte-identical no-keyword
control. Keeps all 117 existing tests green (128 total).

… enum members

The pydantic2 generator now escapes Python reserved words in SDK
identifiers (fix(python), BoundaryML#4059), keeping the raw BAML name as a
`pydantic.Field(alias=…)` on class fields and as the enum member value.
The bridge encode path still sent the Python identifier, so an escaped
field or enum member would go on the wire under a name the engine does
not recognize. Align encode with the (already value-based) decode path.

- class fields: encode by the field's `alias` when present. `dict(value)`
  yields the Python attribute name (`pass_`); look up
  `type(value).model_fields[k].alias` so the raw BAML key (`pass`) goes
  on the wire. Non-escaped fields have `alias is None` and are unchanged.
- enum members: send `value.value` instead of `value.name`, for both the
  scalar and map-key encode paths. Decode is already `cls(enum_value.value)`
  by value, and codegen keeps the member value equal to the BAML wire
  identity even when the member name is escaped (`None_ = "None"`). For
  every non-escaped member name == value, so existing SDKs are unaffected.

Adds `sdks/python/tests/test_reserved_keywords.py` (proto encode helpers
in isolation, plus a `keyword.kwlist` cross-check against the generator's
escape set) and an end-to-end `reserved_keywords` sdk-test fixture
(keyword enum members, class fields incl. `lambda`, and keyword class /
enum / type-alias names) with a round-trip pytest that imports the
generated SDK and drives escaped members/fields through the engine.

Fixes BoundaryML#4059

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <[email protected]>
…ith generator-stamped provenance

Folds the CodeRabbit round-1 review and three further review passes against
this branch into a single response commit for the reserved-keyword codegen
fix (BoundaryML#4059). The
generator now reserves every reachable module binding when it allocates
TypeVars, keyword-gates its callable-child stub aggregation, and stamps an
explicit wire-name provenance marker on escaped artifacts. The marker is
emitted as a plain unannotated assignment in the class body, and its own
name is reserved against any colliding field or method so a same-named
member is renamed off the marker rather than shadowing it. The bridge encoder consumes only that marker instead of
inferring provenance from runtime shape.

Generator (sdkgen_python_pydantic2):
- Root-routed import anchors for keyword classes are keyword-escaped, so a
  non-root leaf emits `from .. import None_` instead of the raw
  `from .. import None` (a SyntaxError that also left the name unbound).
- TypeVars are allocated once per leaf against a single leaf-global
  reservation set rather than per scope. Distinct raw TypeVar spellings never
  collapse to one emitted name; identical spellings (the same binder reused
  across scopes, or two independently-generic functions both spelling `T`)
  deliberately share one module-level TypeVar, which is sound because each
  scope is independently generic on it. A keyword-escaped TypeVar bumps
  (`None` -> `None_` -> `None__` ...) past every leaf-level class, enum,
  alias, module import anchor, and raw TypeVar name it could collide with.
  Callable-child helper bindings (`_{name}_namespace` and the like) need no
  reservation: keyword bumping only appends trailing underscores, so it can
  never produce an underscore-leading name and can never collide with a
  helper.
- The reservation set is completed with two module-level binding categories a
  bumped keyword TypeVar could otherwise overwrite. First, immediate
  child-package and submodule names: a leaf that owns a child module `None_`
  now forces its own generic raw `None` to bump to `None__`, leaving `None_`
  bound to the child module so a cross-leaf `import baml_sdk.<child>`
  resolves. Second, the keyword-escaped anchors that the callable-child stub
  aggregation imports into a parent `.pyi`: reserving them makes a bumped
  keyword TypeVar structurally unable to shadow a `from .. import None_`
  anchor in the same stub. Both categories are collected in a read-only
  pre-pass over the built bodies and child map before the allocation loop, so
  the render path and allocation stay consistent.
- Non-keyword raw names still map to themselves, unconditionally, so
  keyword-free schemas are byte-identical with respect to TypeVar allocation.
- Static-method signatures resolve their annotations through the enclosing
  class TypeVar map (BAML statics can carry class generics).
- Callback Protocols render under their owner scope's TypeVar map and
  deduplicate on the rendered signature, so owners whose maps spell a binder
  differently get distinct Protocols while identical renderings still share
  one.
- Callable-child signature imports are aggregated into the parent `.pyi`
  guarded TYPE_CHECKING block only for keyword classes: the aggregation now
  fires only when the referenced class required keyword escaping. A
  keyword-free callable child returning an ordinary root class therefore
  leaves the parent stub byte-identical to before, so keyword-free schemas
  render byte-identically (verified by digest comparison over four generated
  fixture trees and by a pinned keyword-free negative-control test).
- Escaped artifacts carry an explicit wire-name provenance marker for the
  bridge encoder. A generated class with at least one keyword-escaped field
  emits a plain dunder assignment `__baml_wire_names__ = {...}` mapping each
  escaped Python attribute name to its raw BAML wire name; a generated enum
  with at least one keyword-escaped member emits a plain dunder dict
  `__baml_wire_values__` mapping each escaped member name to its raw variant
  name. Both markers are plain unannotated assignments so the dunder
  spelling stays a class attribute rather than a pydantic field. Both are
  emitted only when a symbol is escaped, so keyword-free output is
  byte-identical, and both live in the `.py` only (the `.pyi` stub carries no
  runtime detail, mirroring `Field(alias=...)`). Decode alias emission
  (`pydantic.Field(alias=...)` plus `populate_by_name`) is unchanged.
- The class marker name is itself a reserved binding on any class that emits
  it: a user field or method spelled `__baml_wire_names__` is renamed off the
  marker. A colliding method is bumped one trailing underscore (to
  `__baml_wire_names___`), which renders as a bare class-body assignment; a
  colliding field is projected to a leading-underscore-free spelling
  (`baml_wire_names___`), since pydantic refuses a model field whose name
  starts with an underscore and would raise at class creation. The renamed
  field records its raw alias in the marker, so the marker survives as the
  mapping dict and the escaped member keeps its wire identity. This
  reservation fires only when the class emits a marker, so keyword-free and
  marker-free classes are untouched.
- Corrects a false grammar claim in a code comment and in the fixture: BAML
  admits 24 of the 35 Python hard keywords as class/enum/alias names, not
  only None/True/False. The end-to-end fixture is extended with lowercase
  keyword names (pass, import, lambda) driven through generate and import.

Bridge (baml_bridge/proto.py):
- The encoder consumes only the generator-stamped marker to choose a wire
  identity; it no longer infers provenance from an alias or member value
  shape. A class field wires `__baml_wire_names__.get(attr, attr)` and an enum
  member wires `__baml_wire_values__.get(member.name, member.name)` at both
  the scalar and map-key sites. A model or enum with no marker entry for a
  given attribute or member wires that attribute or member name, which is the
  pre-PR behavior; ordinary hand-written models and custom enums carry no
  marker and take this fallback. This resolves the ambiguity between a
  generated keyword escape and an ordinary BAML identifier that happens to
  look escaped: the two are indistinguishable from runtime shape alone, and
  provenance now rides explicitly on the generated class instead of being
  guessed. The runtime shape inference (alias for classes, member value for
  enums) is deleted.
- Because the marker values are generator-emitted string literals and a
  member's `.value` is never forwarded, an enum member whose value is a
  non-string object (for example an `int` subclass whose `__str__` returns a
  keyword) can no longer reach the protobuf string field, so the previous
  encode-time `TypeError` on such members cannot occur.
- The marker is inherited through the MRO, so a user subclass of a generated
  model keeps correct wire identity for free. Decode paths are
  unchanged (class decode by wire name plus `populate_by_name`; enum decode
  by value, since a generated escaped member keeps `value == raw name`).

Tests:
- Generator tests pin the leaf allocator, the static and callback map
  threading, and the keyword-gated parent-stub aggregation. New regression
  tests pin the two completed reservation categories: a keyword TypeVar bumps
  past a child module name (`None_` child retained, TypeVar emitted `None__`),
  and past an aggregated keyword-escaped child import anchor (the stub keeps
  `from .. import None_` denoting the class). A keyword-free negative control
  proves a callable child returning an ordinary root class leaves the parent
  stub byte-identical, so the keyword-free byte-identity guarantee is
  falsifiable. Further tests pin the plain `.py`-only marker assignment and
  its absence from the `.pyi`, the class whose user method collides with the
  marker name (marker and bumped method coexist, wire identity preserved), and
  the exact plain-assignment marker line.
- Bridge tests pin a hand-written model and enum whose escaped-looking names
  wire their attribute and member names (pre-PR identity), the marker path
  for generated-style classes and enums, an enum member with a non-string
  value that wires its member name without error, dunder safety (the enum
  marker is not a member and the class marker is not a pydantic field and does
  not appear in `model_json_schema()`), inheritance through a user subclass,
  a non-dict value under the marker name that is ignored in favor of the name
  fallback so encode cannot crash, resolution of a marker-bearing class's type
  hints in a module that rebinds `dict`, and the pre-PR non-keyword alias and
  value controls.

Disclosed, not fixed here:
- A callable child returning an ordinary (non-keyword) root class leaves that
  class unbound in the parent `.pyi` on the base revision today. This PR's
  stub aggregation is deliberately keyword-gated to keep keyword-free output
  byte-identical, so the ordinary-name case remains and is offered as a
  follow-up.
- An ordinary-identifier class that shadows a same-named module TypeVar is
  pre-existing on the base revision. The new reservation entries fix the
  keyword-escaped cases; the ordinary-name collision family stays disclosed.
- Two independently-generic functions that spell a binder identically share
  one module-level TypeVar, which is sound because each is independently
  generic on it.
- The bridge checks only that a wire marker is a dict and ignores anything
  else (name fallback); it does not validate the value types, so a
  hand-crafted dict whose values are not strings (never generator output)
  can still misencode, and validating the values is a future hardening.
- Pairing a pre-marker generated client with this runtime falls back to the
  escaped Python name on the wire; regenerating the client in lockstep with
  the runtime is the supported path, matching how baml releases the two
  together.
- `setup.sh` refreshes the tracked `sdks/python/uv.lock` during environment
  provisioning because the checked-in lock is stale against `pyproject.toml`,
  a pre-existing upstream mismatch present identically on the base revision.
  The gate restores the file with `git checkout -- sdks/python/uv.lock` after
  setup; this PR does not bundle a lock refresh.
- A top-level keyword NAME twin and keyword escaping of routing module-path
  segments remain disclosed follow-ups.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <[email protected]>
`sdkgen_typescript_shared` wrote class, enum and type-alias names raw, so a
BAML `enum import` emitted `export enum import {` and the whole generated
file failed to parse (TS1359). `is_js_reserved` and `JS_RESERVED` already
existed but were applied only to parameters, free functions and
child-namespace re-exports.

Add `safe_decl_name` beside `safe_param_name` and apply it at the two places
that name a binding: `emit::build_emitted`, where an IR name becomes an
emitted symbol, and `translate_ty::render_name_ref`, which re-derives every
cross-reference from the IR rather than reading the declaration back.
Escaping one side alone would turn a parse error into a dangling reference.
Type parameters take the same escape in `generic_decl`.

Escaping at `build_emitted` also covers `_typemap.ts`, which indexes the
module namespace through a `Record<string, unknown>` cast and so would have
resolved to `undefined` at runtime with no compile-time signal.

Only the TypeScript identifier moves. Wire identity is unchanged: dispatch
still uses `baml_fqn`, the type map is still keyed on the raw BAML FQN, and
enum member values, marshalling parameter names and the `$generic` /
`typeParams` arrays all keep their source spelling.
…iers

`CPP_KEYWORDS` listed 65 tokens and omitted every alternative token from
[lex.digraph]. Per [lex.digraph]/2 those behave as their primary token in all
respects except spelling, so they are not usable as identifiers, and a BAML
enum with `and`, `not` or `or` members emitted `and = 0xe6f79719051ff286ULL,`
inside `enum class Kw : uint64_t`, which does not compile.

Add the 11 alternative tokens, plus the 16 other keywords the list was
missing (the four `char*_t` types, the four named casts, `decltype`,
`static_assert`, `thread_local`, `consteval`, `constinit` and the three `co_`
keywords), bringing the table to the full 92 of [lex.key] plus [lex.digraph].
A test asserts the count and that the list stays sorted and duplicate-free.

No call-site change is needed: `preferred_token` already projects every
`NameRequest` through `project`, which appends an underscore on a hit.

Wire identity is unaffected. `CppName` stores `wire` separately from
`canonical` and derives it from the BAML FQN, so `and` now declares as `and_`
while its wire value and its FNV-1a-64 enumerator value are unchanged.

Allocate escaped identifiers with collision resolution.

safe_decl_name("import") and safe_decl_name("import_") both produce import_. The same collision occurs for package and package_. This emits duplicate module declarations and duplicate generic binders. translate_ty also renders both colliding TypeVar and named-type references as the same identifier.

Allocate unique emitted names per module and generic scope. Reuse each raw-to-emitted mapping for declarations and references. Add tests for import/import_ and package/package_. Run cargo test --lib.

@addiplus addiplus changed the title fix(python): escape Python reserved words in generated SDK identifiers fix(codegen): escape reserved words in generated Python, TypeScript and C++ identifiers Aug 13, 2026
CodeRabbit review 4925862155 flagged that this assertion checked only that a
field named `p` exists, so it passed even if the cross-reference annotation
regressed. Assert the resolved annotation instead, which is what the comment
directly above it already claimed.

Test-only. No generator, bridge, or fixture change, so generated output is
byte-identical.

Thanks for the review. Four findings, one fix, three answers.

test_reserved_keywords.py:43-44, assert the annotation, not only the field name.
Correct, fixed in 8c5a3c6, using your suggestion verbatim. That line is the only assertion
about PassHolder anywhere in the repo, so the gap was real.

naming.rs:355-360, add contract_assert. The table is the 81 keywords of [lex.key] plus
the 11 alternative tokens of [lex.digraph], which is the 92 that
test_cpp_keywords_match_the_standard_table pins. You have it right that contract_assert is
C++26, and that is why adding it alone would leave the contents disagreeing with both the count
and the doc comment. I am taking your second option: the doc comment cites the clauses but not
the revision, and it should name it. Separate commit, since touching the table changes
generated output.

leaf.rs:347-352, allocate escaped identifiers with collision resolution. Mechanism and
line numbers are right; I am splitting it. Module-scope declarations stay stateless on purpose:
render_name_ref re-derives every cross-reference from the IR rather than reading the emitted
declaration back, so the spelling has to be reproducible from the bare BAML name alone. Same
design as the Python side of this PR. A leaf declaring both import and import_ emitted
export enum import before this PR, which is TS1359 and takes the whole generated file with
it, so it is broken before and broken after, differently, rather than regressed. Generic
binders are a fair hit, and the asymmetry is mine: generic_decl uses that stateless escape
while Python allocates TypeVars leaf-globally. That plus a {package, package_} test is a
follow-up. Both halves are in the PR body.

test_bridge_alias_enum_compat.py:448-456 (nitpick), exact equality in get_type_hints.
I ran it. pydantic v2 keeps BaseModel's ClassVar annotations behind if TYPE_CHECKING, so
nothing leaks in and the call returns exactly {'pass_': int} on pydantic 2.13.4. The SDK pins
pydantic>=2 with no upper bound, so that is one observed version; I will loosen the assertion
if it stops holding.

Separately, for a maintainer rather than for CodeRabbit: could someone approve the workflow
runs? My author_association is NONE, so both workflows sit at action_required and no run
has started.

To make approving cheap rather than a gamble: in a fork run of this repository's own workflow
(31695117485), 38 reserved_keywords sdk_tests cells passed across macOS arm64, Ubuntu x86_64
and Windows x86_64, covering Rust, TypeScript (node, web, workers), Python and C++, with
nothing failing on the generated code. The same fixture passes on linux/aarch64. Seven cells
produced no result and I am not counting them: C++ on Windows died in 0.24s before any compiler
ran (no WSL distribution on the runner, so bash test.sh resolved to WSL's bash), the macOS
leg schedules no Python, and Swift runs only on macOS. On output, 270 generated files are
byte-identical raw between macOS arm64 and Ubuntu x86_64, with no normalization; against
Windows the only differences are CRLF on vendored files and a path separator in four
harness-written npm manifests.

If the size of the diff is the blocker, the PR body has a split I am happy to take.

Mirrors upstream commit 8c5a3c6 verbatim (git apply of its format-patch,
apply --check clean). Revision 1 of this probe branch forked at 044a471,
one commit behind the PR head, and the single missing commit is exactly a
python reserved_keywords assertion:

  assert p in PassHolder.model_fields
  ->
  assert PassHolder.model_fields[p].annotation is pass_

Revision 2 adds the macOS python cell, so reporting a macOS python result
against the weaker assertion would answer a different question than the one
asked. With this commit the probe tree matches PR head for every file the
python cells touch.
