[NOT-799] Validate raw payloads in StructuredData.get() instead of unwrapping them#896giordano-lucas wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
`get()` is annotated `-> TBaseModel`, but a payload that arrives as raw JSON is stored wrapped in a `DictBaseModel` (`RootModel[Any]`) by the `wrap_dict_in_root_model` before-validator, and `get()` returned `self.data.root` — a plain dict, not a model. The `# type: ignore[attr-defined]` hid it. The annotation was right; the unwrapping was the bug. Validate the root back into the schema the `StructuredData` was parametrized with, recovered from pydantic's generic metadata, so `StructuredData[Profile](...).get()` returns a `Profile`. When no schema is known — `StructuredData[BaseModel]` (what `DataSpace.structured` is) or the unparametrized form — there is nothing to validate against, and `BaseModel.model_validate` raises `PydanticUserError`. In that case return the `RootModel` wrapper itself: it is a `BaseModel`, so the annotation holds, and the raw payload stays reachable through `.root` / `model_dump()`. Unwrapping therefore moves to the two call sites that promise `dict[str, Any]` for instructions-only scrapes (pinned by typing_cases/scrape_overloads.py): `PageClient.scrape` and `NotteSession.ascrape`. The async `ascrape` instructions-only overload said `-> BaseModel` while its sync sibling said `dict[str, Any]`; it now matches. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

### Issue 1
tests/test_structured_data.py:15-19
**Integration regression coverage missing**
This backend bug fix adds direct unit coverage and updates an existing pipe assertion, but the repository requires a new integration test for bug fixes. Without one covering the public scrape flow, regressions across serialization, API deserialization, and the browser/SDK return path can pass this unit suite.

Pydantic v2 RootModel model_dump list root returns root value official documentation
💡 Result:
In Pydantic v2, when you call model_dump on a RootModel that holds a list (e.g., RootModel[list[T]]), the method returns the list object directly, not a dictionary wrapped in a 'root' key [1][2]. Unlike standard BaseModel objects, which are converted to dictionaries when using model_dump, RootModel is designed to dump the underlying root value directly [3]. For example, if you define a model as RootModel[list[str]], calling model_dump on an instance of this model will return the list of strings (e.g., ['dog', 'cat']) [2][4]. Regarding technical documentation and type checking: The official Pydantic documentation and source code specify the return type of model_dump as Any for RootModel subclasses [5][6]. This is intentional, as the return type depends on the specific root type defined in the RootModel (e.g., a list, a dict, or a primitive) [5][6]. While some earlier versions or IDE static analysis tools might have displayed misleading type hints, the runtime behavior consistently returns the raw root object [1][2]. If you find the type hinting for your specific use case to be insufficiently precise, Pydantic maintainers suggest that you can override the model_dump method in your subclass or use an if TYPE_CHECKING: block to explicitly specify the expected return type [1].

Represent list payloads in instruction-only scrape return types.
StructuredData preserves raw list roots, and RootModel.model_dump() returns the raw list. Update the instruction-only overloads and concrete return annotations for NotteSession.ascrape, NotteSession.scrape, PageClient.scrape, NotteClient.scrape, and RemoteSession.scrape to include list[Any] alongside dict[str, Any]. Update typing_cases/scrape_overloads.py and add runtime coverage for an instruction-only list payload.

Supersedes #895, which fixed this the wrong way round — it widened the annotation to
TBaseModel | dict[str, Any]to match the unwrapping. The annotation was right; the unwrapping is the bug.The bug
A payload that arrives as raw JSON is wrapped in a
DictBaseModel(RootModel[Any]) by thewrap_dict_in_root_modelbefore-validator, andget()returnedself.data.root— a plain dict, not a model, despite the-> TBaseModelannotation. The# type: ignore[attr-defined]sat on exactly that line and hid it.The fix
packages/notte-core/src/notte_core/data/space.py— validate the root back into the schema theStructuredDatawas parametrized with, recovered from pydantic's generic metadata (__pydantic_generic_metadata__["args"]).When no schema is known there is nothing to validate against, and
BaseModel.model_validate(...)doesn't merely lose the fields — it raisesPydanticUserError: BaseModel cannot be instantiated directly. That covers two real cases:StructuredData[BaseModel], which is whatDataSpace.structuredis, so every API-deserialized response lands hereStructuredData(...)In that case
get()returns theRootModelwrapper itself: it is aBaseModel, so the annotation holds, and the raw payload stays reachable through.root/model_dump().Verified at runtime across all six shapes — parametrized schema,
StructuredData[BaseModel]from an API-shaped body,StructuredData[DictBaseModel](whatSchemaScrapingPipeproduces), list root, model payload, bare — plus schema mismatch →ValidationError. Serialization round-trips unchanged.Knock-on changes
