From 86c8bf49921e91a375fe5992db4bee7ba1eeecd1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ducoterra Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2026 11:50:51 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] phase: 33_gateway_route_switching MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Phase 33 completion pass is done. Final report: ## Phase 33 — completion report **All 8 task files complete** (`.agents/phases/complete/33_gateway_route_switching/`), full gate green, docs verified. ### Work in this pass 1. **`tests/test_routectl.py` added** (17 tests, all green) — exercises the *real* helper binary unprivileged against a fake tree (`--root`), the real agent parser, the captured gateway fixtures, and stubbed `nginx`/`haproxy`/`systemctl` on `PATH`. Pins the full protocol (locate → state → dry-run → temp-file/fsync/`os.replace` write → checker → restore on checker failure → reload-never-restart → re-read proof → sidecar record), all three route shapes (haproxy `server`, nginx `proxy_pass`, nginx stream `map` via its sink-value id), `drift` / unknown-id / `map-default` refusals, `list`/`verify`, and the `--serve` peer gate (`SO_PEERCRED` uid check, one JSON line per request, exact body shape). 2. **Real helper defect fixed** — `deploy/dashboards-routectl.py`: `main()`'s early-return paths returned `({"ok": False, …}, EXIT_*)` tuples, so `sys.exit()` printed a Python repr instead of a JSON line (usage errors, agent-import refusal). Now prints `json.dumps(…)` and returns only the code, keeping the one-JSON-line contract. 3. **Documentation consistency fixes** (task 08 criterion 6): - `README.md`: garbled verdict-colour sentence on the switch ("green and to the position") → "in the **on** position and tinted `--gate-on`" (the existence-pair contract). - `README.md`: audit sentence now names all three event kinds — `route-disabled` / `route-enabled` / **`route-denied`** (the code stores one per refused call; dry runs store none). - `page-gateway.js`: replaced the stale pre-33 module docstring ("the switch is not wired") with the two-arm `GATEWAY_ALLOW_WRITES` contract. - `AGENTS.md`: every phase-33 claim re-verified against code (the ten gates, the 35 s/30 s budget pair, `gateway.writes_enabled`, `/api/summary`'s `disabled`, the 1.4.0 agent bullet, the gap list) — no changes needed. ### Verification - `uv run pytest --cov`: **1970 passed**, 18 skipped — coverage **98.74%** (floor 94%) - `ruff` clean · `pyright` 0 errors · `bash .agents/validate.sh` **exit 0** (incl. `node --check` on every page script) - Dev server running; all 10 sources `ok`; bundles exported ### Live infrastructure **No live changes made.** The live drill remains unexecuted per `data/logs/NOTES-33-switching.md` (no operator approval; checker binaries unavailable in the podman proxy units). All routes stay enabled, config hashes unchanged, and the sandbox rehearsal + backup tree are in place for the operator's own `DANGER` call. All changes are in the working tree only. --- .../33_gateway_route_switching/00_phase.md | 0 ...the_root_helper_edits_exactly_one_route.md | 0 ...ileged_peer_is_a_socket_not_a_sudo_line.md | 0

Non-empty → `list` = the rows verbatim (the fixture's shape is the contract; a row's fields render as-is, task 05), `source` = "radiance /stats". + - `stats` missing (the fetch failed — invariant 4: the poll itself is healthy) → fall back to the `/metrics` gauges `num_requests_running`/`num_requests_waiting` for the counts (they are real numbers, different provenance — the detail says `/stats` did not answer this poll), `queue_cap` `null` (never `0` — rule 2). + - `active` stays `metrics["num_requests_running"]["value"]` in every arm (one definition, the `/metrics` gauge). +4. `engine_result(engine, base_url, text, rates, *, slots=None, stats=None, now=None)` — the parser dispatch becomes the three-way map (gufo / vllm / radiance); a radiance poll attaches `payload["stats"]` = the small additive subset `{model, version, uptime_s, startup_s, total_requests, cards[]}` (each card `+ vram_used_pct` computed `used/total×100`, `derived: true` — the only derived number in the block; the raw bytes travel as the engine published them). The subset is **whitelisted from the fixture's shape**, so a radiance upgrade that renames a `/stats` key degrades to absent, not a crash (invariant 4's poll-body rule). +5. `HISTORY_METRICS` — **additive candidates only** (the existing keys and their candidate order are untouched): `queue_depth` → `("queue_depth",)`, `queue_cap` → `("queue_cap",)` (the `queue_cap` metrics key is the `/stats` passthrough), `decode_step_seconds_recent` → `("decode_step_seconds_recent",)`, `vram_used_pct` → `("vram_used_pct",)` (card 0, the engine's own view of the same card `/system` reads through the agent — different source, different host key, both honest). The existing keys already cover radiance: `decode/prompt_tokens_per_second` (the UI keys the precedence logic fills), `kv_cache_usage` (the `gpu_cache_usage` candidate), `requests_running`/`requests_waiting` (the `num_requests_*` candidates), `tokens_total`, `spec_accept_rate` (the gauge reuses gufo's key). The seven per-position ratios are **snapshot-only** (decision 2: a bounded store, rule 9). +6. `series_names(engine)` — the three-way branch; `fleet_totals(engines)` — the code needs **no change** (the aliases `num_requests_running`/`num_requests_waiting`, the `decode/prompt_tokens_per_second` keys, `tokens_total` and the `gpu_cache_usage` max all already cover a radiance payload); **only** the `seams` sentence is rewritten to state, briefly and honestly, the known asymmetries: gufo's prompt counter excludes cache-hit tokens; the summed throughput is per-engine provenance-labelled (native scheduler window vs measured Δ). It does not claim what radiance's `vllm:prompt_tokens_total` includes or excludes about cached tokens — the engine does not say, and neither does the dashboard (rule 2). + +## Testing & Quality +- Unit/integration in `tests/test_llm_source.py` (fixture-driven, the conftest skip pattern from task 01): + - the fixture parse: every mapped key resolves (shape + source strings), the name set equals the fixture's (task 01's pin), `spec_positions` is the ordered 7, `stats`-arm sessions as specced (empty / non-empty / missing, three fakes), the `payload["stats"]` whitelist (a fixture with a renamed `version` key degrades to absent, the poll still returns), the radiance history-sample names (`llm.queue_depth`, `llm.queue_cap`, `llm.decode_step_seconds_recent`, `llm.vram_used_pct`, …) appear and the gufo/vLLM sample names are untouched. + - rule 2, three arms: gauge present → source is the gauge name, `derived` false; gauge line removed from the fixture copy → measured Δ, `derived` true, the window (or the refused-window `n/a` + `Δ` label, a fresh-estimator fake); both absent → `n/a`, no `0` anywhere; `queue_cap` with `stats` missing → `null`, not `0`. + - the severity pass-through: the `gpu_cache_usage` cell carries a `severity` verdict from the existing table at a fixture value above the warn bound; `spec_accept_rate` carries **no** severity key (decision 4 pinned both ways — an absence-only assertion, so it is asserted on the payload). + - `fleet_totals` with a gufo + radiance payload: the running/waiting sums, the true max KV, `engines_live` 2, the seams copy names the provenance labelling. + - the gufo and vLLM parse functions are byte-behaviour-unchanged (their existing pins untouched). +- Coverage: **>90%** on `sources/llm.py`; the whole suite 100%; `ruff` + `pyright` clean. + +## Completion Criteria +- [ ] `parse_radiance_metrics` against the fixture returns every mapped key with its pinned source string; a series removed from a fixture copy answers `{"value": null}` — never `0`. +- [ ] the three throughput arms are proven in both directions (gauge wins / measured fills / `n/a` with the honest `Δ` label on a refused window). +- [ ] `spec_positions` is the ordered 7 from the fixture; `queue_cap` is `null` (not `0`) when `/stats` is absent; the KV cell carries the severity verdict and the spec cell carries none. +- [ ] `engine_result("radiance", …, stats=…)` carries the whitelisted `stats` block with the one computed `vram_used_pct`; a renamed stats key degrades to absent without raising. +- [ ] full test suite **100% passing** (every test in the project, not just this task's). +- [ ] README.md updated for anything user-visible this task changes (none expected — the payload surface is task 05's); AGENTS.md touched only if a statement in it became stale (the phase's final pass re-checks both) +- [ ] no behavior change in completed work (gufo and vLLM payloads, samples, alerts and pages behave exactly as before — the suite's existing pins untouched) diff --git a/.agents/phases/todo/34_radiance_llm_engine/04_the_radiance_job.md b/.agents/phases/todo/34_radiance_llm_engine/04_the_radiance_job.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..97c9fda --- /dev/null +++ b/.agents/phases/todo/34_radiance_llm_engine/04_the_radiance_job.md @@ -0,0 +1,33 @@ +# Task 04 — The `llm:radiance` job: a `/stats` sidecar that can fail without failing the poll + +**Phase:** `34_radiance_llm_engine` · **Story:** n/a + +## Objective + +`collectors.fetch_engine` fetches radiance's `/stats` **best-effort** — a dead or partial `/stats` degrades the session arm (task 03's missing-stats fallback) and never takes the `/metrics` poll down (invariant 4: a failed sidecar keeps the last good payload and marks nothing stale, while a dead `/metrics` is the real `UpstreamError`) — and `llm_jobs` (in the task-02 registry shape) builds the `llm:radiance` job with its own `Job` key, display name and the shared LLM cadence/estimator. + +## Work + +1. `src/dashboards/collectors.py` — `fetch_engine(…, with_slots=False, with_stats=False)`: + - The `with_stats` path, beside the existing `/slots` loop: one `GET {base_url}/stats` (no alias — radiance's own page uses exactly that path); on any `httpx.HTTPError` **or** a status ≥ 400 **or** a JSON that is not a dict, `stats` stays `None` and the function returns the metrics result with the missing-stats session arm.

+## Route switching
+
+`/gateway` can change its own subject: each row's switch turns a route **off** and, the
+other way around, **back on**. Off is the helper's `#off` marker on the config line
+(a switched-off `map` entry is pointed at the helper's own sink `server` instead); on is
+the marker removed and the line's original text restored — but only if the line is
+unedited since (an edited line is a `drift` refusal and no byte moves). The switch is
+**a decision of its own**, off by default, and it is the application's second write path
+(the first is the UPS command buttons above).
+
+### Enabling it
+
+The write is the flag `GATEWAY_ALLOW_WRITES` (the same truthy rule as
+`NUT_ALLOW_ACTIONS`, and one flag does not carry the other) and it only exists on a
+host the operator installed `--allow-writes --with-routectl` on — the certificate-first
+gate on the agent and the socket-activated root helper beside it (*The host agent*
+section above). The install is the agent unit's one extra argument plus the helper and
+its two units, `dashboards-routectl.socket` and `dashboards-routectl@.service`; to undo
+everything, `sudo ./deploy/install-agent.sh --without-routectl` removes the helper and
+its units, **leaves the proxy configs and the state directory alone**, and prints the
+still-off routes first — those are yours to switch back on. With the flag off, every
+switch is a `disabled` reading with the flag's own sentence, and a click does nothing:
+no wire is touched, no request is sent.
+
+### Switching a route
+
+The press runs the flow the operator can see: the **dry-run diff first** — the
+helper's own word for what the change will do, before the operator is asked for the
+word — then the confirmation that carries the diff and a **typed `DANGER`** (both verbs
+ask for it: turning a route back on is a write to the fleet's only ingress, just as
+turning it off is), then **exactly one send** — one connection, one request, one
+answer, **no retry** (a retry of a write is a second reload). The answer's words are
+printed verbatim: `applied: true` flips the switch and the row's colour follows the
+**payload's** word on the next gateway poll — never the click's; `applied: false`
+flips nothing. Every call stores one audit event — `route-disabled`, `route-enabled`, or `route-denied`
+for the gates' and the helper's refusals (a dry run stores none: it changed nothing) —
+so the audit trail is one line per call with who and when — and a switch **outages the
+route on purpose: it will appear in the event feed**.
+
+The honest limits: the switch is one admin (the sign-in's one factor, no more), with no
+per-host kill switch and no scheduler; and there is no runtime `disable server` state —
+the marker is a config line, so a hand reload or a reboot does not undo it (a runtime
+switch would be quietly undone by the next reload).
+
+When the dashboard is the thing that is broken at 03:00, the recovery is on the box:
+`/usr/local/sbin/dashboards-routectl.py` (its operator page is
+`deploy/gateway-routectl-README.md`). `sudo /usr/local/sbin/dashboards-routectl.py list`
+says what is off (the state sidecar), `sudo … verify` checks the sidecar against the
+files (drift is reported, never repaired), and `sudo … enable --id ` puts one route
+back on through the same protocol — the write, the proxy's own checker, restore on a
+checker failure, the reload (never a restart), the state record.

+* **The one write is a forward, not a file edit.** `POST /route` (1.4.0) is the only non-GET
+  path and the only thing this process ever sends to an upstream. The order is the design:
+  the client certificate (the handshake is the identity — a bearer token never gets this
+  path), then `--allow-writes` (the operator's decision, off by default), then the body
+  (exactly `{id, action, dry_run}`, ≤ 4096 bytes, an `action` of `disable`/`enable`, an
+  `id` of at most 256 characters — a refused body never reaches the peer), then the
+  helper's socket. The dial is `AF_UNIX` with a 30 s budget (the helper may run `nginx -t`
+  and a reload), one newline-delimited request, one line back, and **never a retry — a
+  retry of a write is a second reload**: every failure is a 502 (an unreadable or
+  oversized answer, a timeout, or the errno word) and the helper's JSON is passed through
+  verbatim, refusal included. Without `--routectl-socket` (the flag's value set empty) the
+  answer is `503 no route helper on this host`. The bytes are written by the socket-
+  activated root helper (`deploy/dashboards-routectl.py`); this process opens no config

+"""dashboards-routectl — the route-switch root helper (phase 33, task 01).
+
+Turns one `connections[].id` off or back on in one of the gateway's two proxy configs,
+validates the file with the proxy's own checker, reloads that one proxy, and refuses
+everything else. This process is the phase's only writer: the dashboard's
+`POST /api/gateway/route` reaches a config file only through it (via the agent's
+`POST /route`, which reaches this helper only through the systemd-activated socket,
+task 02). Run by hand on the gateway it is the operator's rehearsal: `diff` shows
+what the dashboard would do, and `disable --id ID` without `--apply` is a dry run.
+
+It never `restart`s anything. A restart severs every live connection through the
+fleet's only ingress, and a reload does not, so the only verb this file executes is
+`systemctl reload `; a failed reload leaves the applied file in place and says
+so in the answer (`reloaded: false` + the unit's status line) — the config is right,
+the reload is the operator's next action.
+
+The one write protocol (the order is the safety property):
+
+1. re-read the file, index it with the agent's parser, map the `id` to the line
+   (an unknown id is a refusal that writes nothing);
+2. already in the requested state → `{"applied": false, "changed": false}`, no reload;
+3. `--apply` absent (or the wire's `dry_run: true`) → answer with the unified `diff`
+   only — no write, no checker, no reload, no state change;
+4. write the new text to a `mkstemp` in the same directory, `fsync`, `os.replace`;
+5. run the proxy's own checker (`nginx -t` / `haproxy -c -f `); on failure
+   `os.replace` the previous bytes back and answer
+   `{"applied": false, "validated": false, "restored": true}` with the checker's own
+   first line — and reload nothing;
+6. `systemctl reload `; a failure is `reloaded: false` with the status line;
+7. re-read and re-index the file to prove the marker state is live; record the state.
+
+Per-kind edit (decision 5; a fourth arm is a new decision, not a fall-through):
+
+* a haproxy `server` line is commented with the marker (`#off `): the backend
+  stops receiving, and the marker keeps the original restorable by eye and by
+  machine;
+* a vhost `proxy_pass` line is commented the same way: the vhost keeps `listen` +
+  `server_name` and gains no target, a shape the dashboard's warnings already treat
+  as quiet, so "off" does not read as "broken";
+* a stream `map` entry is **rewritten to the sink address** and marked: commenting
+  it would fall through to the map's `default` and mis-route the domain instead of
+  blocking it. The sink file is created on first need (the marker's header, a stream
+  `server` on `127.0.0.1:44450`), is loaded by the main config's existing
+  `stream { include /etc/nginx/stream.d/*.conf; }` glob, and the **main config is
+  never edited**; it is removed only when this helper wrote it (its header present)
+  and no `map` entry still points at it;
+* the `map` `default` entry is **refused** (`"refused": "map-default"`): it is the
+  fallback for every unmapped SNI, not a service.
+
+`enable` restores **only** when the current line is byte-identical to the line this
+helper wrote (the state sidecar's `written` row, recorded at write time); a hand edit
+in the meantime is `{"applied": false, "drift": true}` and no byte changes. The map
+arm's original value is not in the file after a disable (it was rewritten), so the
+sidecar also carries the `original` line.
+
+Nothing in this file takes a path, a line number, a pattern, or a command from the
+wire. `--serve` accepts exactly the keys `{id, action, dry_run}` and every other key
+is a refusal; the checker and unit names come from the flags the operator installed,
+never from a request; every subprocess call is a fixed argv list (no `shell=True`),
+and a `--file` option does not exist. The config parser is the agent's:
+`--agent-module` is imported by file path (the helper is installed beside it at
+/usr/local/lib/dashboards-agent/) and a helper that cannot import it refuses to run
+at all — two parsers reading one config are two opinions about one file.
+
+`--serve` (the socket-activated mode, task 02's `StandardInput=socket`): the chosen
+idiom is the connected socket on **stdin** — systemd's `StandardInput=socket` dups
+the per-connection socket onto fd 0 (and `StandardOutput=socket` onto fd 1), so the
+process wraps fd 0 (or fd 3, the classic socket-activation fd, when the platform
+hands the connection there instead — the live box put it on fd 0), checks
+`SO_PEERCRED` against `--allow-uid` (the **second** look: the socket file's `0600`
++ `SocketUser` is the first) — the uid is read at the field slot a same-process
+probe calibrates on this kernel, because the 12-byte ucred buffer's field order is
+not portable (the live box's el10 kernel delivers it as `{pid, uid, gid}`, the
+classic layout reversed; in the root service the calibration shifts the probe's
+own uid with `setuid` while the gid stays 0 — a privilege drop, restored before
+any state file is touched — so a matching gid on a foreign-uid caller cannot
+open the gate; an unshifted `euid == egid` probe requires both remaining fields
+to match) — reads one newline-delimited JSON request, dispatches
+one verb, writes one JSON line back to the socket, and exits. One request per
+activation is the whole threading policy: the socket's `Accept=yes` spawns the
+template instance per connection, so there is no accept loop, no thread, no timeout
+to invent.

+# The route-switch helper (gateway hosts)
+
+The dashboard's one narrow write is a route switch: one named connection on the
+ingress goes `#off` (a marker the agent's own parser reads) or comes back. It is
+not a sudoers line. The grant is a **file mode systemd enforces**: the socket the
+agent talks to is `0600` and owned by the agent's own user, and the helper's
+peer check (`--allow-uid`) is the second look. No account on the host — `ops`
+included — can reach the write; only the agent's uid can connect, and only that
+uid is accepted on the other end.
+
+## The two units
+
+| unit | what it is |
+| ---- | ---------- |
+| `dashboards-routectl.socket` | a systemd-activated stream socket at `/run/dashboards-routectl.sock`, `0600`, owned by `dashboards-agent` |
+| `dashboards-routectl@.service` | the helper, **root**, one instance per connection (the connected socket on stdin), answers one request and exits |
+
+The service unit's `ReadWritePaths` lists exactly the directories whose file the
+helper replaces — `/etc/haproxy`, `/etc/nginx/conf.d`, `/etc/nginx/stream.d` —
+and nothing else. There is never a long-lived privileged process: each request
+spawns a fresh instance that exits after its one answer.
+
+## See them
+
+```
+systemctl status dashboards-routectl.socket
+systemctl status 'dashboards-routectl@*.service'
+journalctl -u 'dashboards-routectl@*'
+```
+
+## Run the helper by hand on the box
+
+The installed copy is `/usr/local/sbin/dashboards-routectl.py`. It takes its
+agent parser by file path and refuses to run without one:
+
+```
+# what is off (the state sidecar)
+sudo /usr/local/sbin/dashboards-routectl.py list
+
+# preview one route without writing a byte (no checker, no reload, no state)
+sudo /usr/local/sbin/dashboards-routectl.py diff --id nginx:443->127.0.0.1:44450 --action enable
+
+# verify the sidecar against the files (drift is reported, never repaired)
+sudo /usr/local/sbin/dashboards-routectl.py verify
+```
+
+A manual `disable --apply` runs the whole protocol: write, the proxy's own
+checker (`nginx -t` / `haproxy -c -f`), restore the previous bytes on a checker
+failure, `systemctl reload` (never `restart`) on success, then record the state.
+
+## Undo it all
+
+```
+sudo ./deploy/install-agent.sh --without-routectl
+```
+
+That disables and removes the helper and its two units, **leaves the proxy
+configs and the helper's state directory alone**, and prints the list of
+still-off routes first — those are yours to switch back on.
+
+## The one safety sentence
+
+No sudoers line is involved. The agent's unit keeps every one of its security
+directives (`NoNewPrivileges=true`, `ProtectSystem=strict`, …); the read-only
+collector stayed read-only in its sandbox and talked to a peer outside it. The
+grant is the socket's mode and ownership, enforced by systemd.

+markers. Three facts, never conflated: a route **never declared** is absent from the payload, a

+`enabled: false` line that is still drawn and still counted — the kernel does not know markers, so
