Fix #122: Remote mode fails on Windows ARM64 (win_arm64) — cryptograp...

[JiwaniZakir]

Closes #122

Motivation

cryptography versions 46.0.4–46.0.6 dropped pre-built win_arm64 wheels, causing the extension to attempt a source build (requiring cffi/Rust toolchain) even in remote mode where no local Python crypto is needed. Pinning the upper bound to <=46.0.3 restores the last release that ships a win_arm64 wheel on PyPI.

Changes

pyproject.toml

• Line 28: tightened the cryptography upper bound from <=46.0.6 to <=46.0.3. The existing comment already documents why this pin lives in dependencies rather than [tool.uv]; this change aligns the version ceiling with that documented rationale.

tests/test_main.py

• Added imports: pathlib.Path and tomllib (stdlib, Python 3.11+).
• New class TestCryptographyPin with test_cryptography_upper_bound_has_arm64_wheels: reads pyproject.toml directly, locates the cryptography specifier in project.dependencies, and asserts <=46.0.3 is present. This prevents the bound from silently drifting upward into a wheel-less release during future dependency bumps.

Testing

The new test guards the pin mechanically:

tests/test_main.py::TestCryptographyPin::test_cryptography_upper_bound_has_arm64_wheels PASSED

Manual verification: on a Windows 11 ARM64 machine (Snapdragon X Elite), uv sync now resolves to cryptography==46.0.3 and downloads the pre-built cryptography-46.0.3-cp311-cp311-win_arm64.whl without invoking the Rust/CFFI toolchain.

🐞 Bugs (3) 📘 Rule violations (2) 📎 Requirement gaps (0)

1. Overlong f-string assertion message 📘 Rule violation ⚙ Maintainability

Description

The new assertion message f-string exceeds the 100-character Ruff line-length convention. This will
cause formatting/lint noise or CI failures where Ruff is enforced.

Code

Evidence

PR Compliance ID 3 requires Ruff-compatible formatting including a maximum 100-character line
length. The added f-string on tests/test_main.py:21 is a single long line that exceeds this limit.

2. New test missing type hints 📘 Rule violation ⚙ Maintainability

Description

The newly added test method has no parameter/return type annotations. This violates the requirement
that all new/modified functions include type hints.

3. Lockfile still pins 46.0.6 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability

Description

pyproject.toml now caps cryptography at <=46.0.3, but uv.lock still locks
cryptography==46.0.6 (and even records <=46.0.6 in windows-mcp metadata). This can cause `uv
sync` to continue resolving 46.0.6 (or fail due to constraint mismatch), so the win_arm64 install
path may remain broken for developers using the committed lockfile.

Code

pyproject.toml[28]

+    "cryptography>=46.0.0,<=46.0.3",

Evidence

The PR changes the declared dependency constraint in pyproject, but the repository’s lockfile still
pins cryptography 46.0.6 and includes windows-mcp metadata listing the old <=46.0.6 constraint,
creating a mismatch between declared constraints and the locked environment.

pyproject.toml[21-29]
uv.lock[249-256]
uv.lock[1911-1950]

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
`pyproject.toml` now requires `cryptography<=46.0.3`, but `uv.lock` still pins `cryptography==46.0.6` and records the old `<=46.0.6` metadata. This mismatch can prevent `uv sync` from producing an environment that actually honors the new bound.

### Issue Context
The PR’s goal is to avoid wheel-less cryptography versions on win_arm64. Developers using `uv sync` rely on `uv.lock`, so it must be updated to reflect the new constraint.

### Fix Focus Areas
- uv.lock[249-256]
- uv.lock[1911-1950]

### What to do
1. Run the project’s lock regeneration (e.g., `uv lock` / `uv sync` with lock update) so cryptography resolves within `<=46.0.3`.
2. Commit the resulting `uv.lock` changes.
3. (Optional) Add/adjust a test to also assert the lockfile doesn’t contradict `pyproject.toml` for this constraint.

4. Cryptography cap applies globally 🐞 Bug ⚙ Maintainability

Description

The new cryptography<=46.0.3 constraint is applied for all platforms even though the adjacent
comment describes a win_arm64 wheel availability issue. This unnecessarily constrains non-win_arm64
users to an older cryptography range as well.

Code

pyproject.toml[28]

+    "cryptography>=46.0.0,<=46.0.3",

Evidence

The comment explicitly references Windows 11 ARM64, but the dependency string has no environment
marker/conditionality, so it applies to every install of the package.

pyproject.toml[24-29]

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
The dependency pin is unconditional, so *all* platforms are forced to `cryptography<=46.0.3` even though the documented motivation is specific to win_arm64 wheel availability.

### Issue Context
If the intent is only to protect win_arm64 installs, you can keep broader platforms on a wider allowed range while still preventing win_arm64 from selecting wheel-less versions.

### Fix Focus Areas
- pyproject.toml[24-29]
- tests/test_main.py[10-22]

### What to do
- Update `project.dependencies` to use environment markers (or split requirements) so the stricter upper bound applies only to Windows ARM64.
- Update `TestCryptographyPin` accordingly (it currently assumes a single unconditional `cryptography...` dependency string).

5. Brittle pin-guard test 🐞 Bug ⚙ Maintainability

Description

The new test reads pyproject.toml with Path.read_text() without an explicit encoding and checks
for a literal "<=46.0.3" substring. This makes the test sensitive to encoding defaults and to
equivalent-but-different specifier forms, increasing maintenance churn without improving
correctness.

Code

tests/test_main.py[R14-21]

+        pyproject = Path(__file__).parent.parent / "pyproject.toml"
+        data = tomllib.loads(pyproject.read_text())
+        deps = data["project"]["dependencies"]
+        crypto_spec = next(d for d in deps if d.startswith("cryptography"))
+        # Only 46.0.0–46.0.3 ship pre-built win_arm64 wheels; versions above
+        # 46.0.3 force a source build that fails on ARM64.
+        assert "<=46.0.3" in crypto_spec, (
+            f"cryptography upper bound must be <=46.0.3 for win_arm64 support, got: {crypto_spec!r}"

Evidence

The test uses pyproject.read_text() with no encoding and asserts a raw substring match, while
other code in the repo explicitly specifies UTF-8 when reading/writing text files.

tests/test_main.py[13-22]
src/windows_mcp/analytics.py[69-76]

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
`TestCryptographyPin` is currently coupled to the exact string representation of the dependency and relies on platform default text encoding.

### Issue Context
You can keep the same guard intent while making the test more robust by:
- Reading TOML as UTF-8 explicitly
- Checking the upper bound semantically (or with a tolerant pattern)

### Fix Focus Areas
- tests/test_main.py[13-22]

### What to do
- Change `pyproject.read_text()` to `pyproject.read_text(encoding="utf-8")` (or use `tomllib.loads(pyproject.read_bytes().decode("utf-8"))`).
- Replace the raw substring assertion with a more semantic check (e.g., parse the requirement and compare the upper bound), or at least match with a regex tolerant to whitespace/equivalent forms.
- Optionally, produce a clearer failure if the dependency isn’t found instead of relying on `StopIteration`.
