sqlite-utils 4.0rc2, mostly written by Claude Fable (for about $149.25)

Simon Willison released sqlite-utils 4.0rc2, with most code written by Anthropic's Claude Fable model for about $149.25. Fable identified a critical bug in delete_where() that caused data loss by never committing transactions. Willison then had GPT-5.5 review Fable's changes, finding an additional side-effect issue where db.query() auto-commits writes before raising an error.

The release fixes a critical data-loss bug and demonstrates cross-model code review catching subtle side effects.

Better Models: Worse Tools

Armin Ronacher reports that newer Claude models (Opus 4.8, Sonnet 5) sometimes call Pi's edit tool with extra, invented fields in the edits[] array, causing tool call rejection. This issue is absent in older models, indicating that SOTA models are worse at this specific tool schema. The problem stems from unconstrained decoding allowing invalid keys.
