apply_local produced an invalid report

Error message

apply_local produced an invalid report: {problems}

What it means

Before returning, apply_local validates its own generated report against APPLICATION_REPORT_SCHEMA using schema.validate. If any problems are found, it raises ValueError — an internal invariant violation meaning the report builder and the schema are out of sync, not that user input was wrong.

Solutions

1. Read the problems list in the message; update the report construction in apply_local to satisfy the schema.
2. If the report is intentionally new, update APPLICATION_REPORT_SCHEMA to match.
3. Reinstall/align the package so apply.py and schema.py come from the same version.
4. Run the library's test suite for apply_local after any schema/report change.

Example fix

// before (report adds 'notes' but schema lacks it)
problems = schema.validate(report, schema.APPLICATION_REPORT_SCHEMA)

// after (schema.py)
APPLICATION_REPORT_SCHEMA = {
    ...,
    "notes": {"type": "list", "required": False},
}

try:
    report = apply_local(sp, media=clips)
except ValueError as e:
    if "invalid report" in str(e):
        logging.critical(f"library bug, report schema mismatch: {e}")
        raise  # do not retry; report/repair the package version
    raise

When it happens

Trigger: Any apply_local call whose internally built report fails schema validation — typically after modifying the report-building code without updating APPLICATION_REPORT_SCHEMA, or vice versa (version mismatch between modules).

Common situations: Patching apply.py's report fields (renaming/adding keys) while the schema still expects the old shape; a mixed install where schema.py and apply.py come from different versions; a plugin or subclass altering the report.
