PR 2 used to write a top-level ``tools`` column on every parquet shard
holding the JSON schema for the ``say`` tool, broadcast identically
across every row. That extends PR 1's schema for no real information
gain — the schema is a fixed code constant, parquet's RLE/dict encoding
collapses it on disk anyway, and HF/TRL chat-template consumers can
just import the constant directly.
PR 2 should fill in PR 1's existing schema, not add to it. So:
- ``writer.py``: stop emitting the ``tools`` column. Strip any legacy
``tools`` column from older shards on rerun so the schema converges to
v3.1. ``SAY_TOOL_SCHEMA`` stays as a public constant (now joined by
``DEFAULT_TOOLS = [SAY_TOOL_SCHEMA]``); chat-template policies and the
visualizer import them directly.
- ``test_writer.py``: replace the "tools column present" assertion with
one that explicitly checks the column is absent, plus a new test
asserting the constant's shape.
- ``test_pipeline_recipe_render.py``: drop the tools-column read; assert
it's not present in the rewritten parquet.
- ``annotation_pipeline.mdx``: update the writer description to note the
parquet stays small and the schema lives as a code constant.
If multi-tool-set support ever becomes real (datasets with different
tool inventories), the right home is ``meta/info.json["tools"]`` —
adding it later is non-breaking; ripping out a parquet column already
shipped is not.
