GitHubAGILab runbook (Agent Skill)
Use this skill when you need repo-specific “how we do things” guidance in agilab/: launching the native React interface, regenerating run-config wrappers, debugging installs, or preparing releases.
AGILab working rules (repo policy)
- Use
uvfor all runs so dependencies resolve in managed envs:uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python …uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run --extra ui python -m agilab --address 127.0.0.1
- No repo
uvx: do not runuvx agilabfrom this checkout (it will run the published wheel and ignore local changes). - Process ownership: treat existing terminals, Codex CLI sessions, dev servers, and other long-running processes as user-owned unless this turn started them. Do not use broad termination commands such as
pkill,killall,pkill -f, or port-basedkillpipelines that can match unrelated sessions. Stop only verified PIDs or tool sessions created for the active task. Do not use Codex CLI control shortcuts such as/stop, Esc interruption, or terminal-close actions to manage background terminals unless the terminal/session was created by this active task and its identity is verified. A status banner that says a background terminal is running is not ownership proof. If a port is busy, choose another port or ask before stopping its owner; do not try to "pause" another Codex CLI session from here. - Tokki terminal routing: when Tokki is available and the command can be executed faithfully, run ad-hoc terminal checks through
tokki run -- <command>so noisy output is digested and full logs stay in private artifacts. Use raw commands instead when a tool needs live streaming, TTY interaction, structured stdout, or exact unwrapped behavior. - High-frequency shortcuts: prefer
./dev <shortcut>for repeated local validation loops. The top shortcuts areimpactfor impact validation,bugfixfor impact plus a fast GA-selected regression run,testfor targetedpytest -q,regressfor GA-selected fast regression subsets,builtin-app-testsfor app-local built-in app pytest suites,flowfor one or more workflow parity profiles,badgefor the explicit release/pre-release coverage-badge guard, anddocsfor public docs integrity stamp refresh and verification.impacttells you what must be validated,testruns the narrow pytest slice,bugfixis the default low-load pre-push loop for normal code fixes,regressoptimizes a likely regression subset from changed files and optional JUnit timings,builtin-app-testsruns each built-in app's tests inside that app's ownuv --project .environment with pytest importlib collection,flowmatches local GitHub workflow profiles,badgechecks badge freshness when intentionally requested, anddocsverifies this checkout's public source integrity. Add--print-onlyto inspect the expanded commands. - Run config parity: after editing
.idea/runConfigurations/*.xml, regenerate wrappers:uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python tools/generate_runconfig_scripts.py
- PyCharm source-root switching: the JetBrains SDK named
uv (agilab)is global and should point to one AGILAB source checkout at a time. To intentionally switch PyCharm execution to another checkout, run from the target checkout:uv syncAGILAB_PYCHARM_ALLOW_SDK_REBIND=1 uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python pycharm/setup_pycharm.pyDo not rerun fullinstall.shjust to switch PyCharm roots; use it only when installer side effects are needed, such as app installation,.agilab-pathupdates, dataset seeding, or install-time tests.
- Source/end-user path drift: if a source native Python UI run shows end-user paths such as
$HOME/agi-space/apps/builtin/<app>/.venvin the ORCHESTRATE header, treat it as a bootstrap/root-selection bug until proven otherwise. Check the active process root, PyCharm SDK binding,sys.path,~/.local/share/agilab/.agilab-path, and persisted~/.agilab/.envkeys such asAPPS_PATHandIS_SOURCE_ENV. Restart the native Python view host after fixing bootstrap code becausest.session_state["env"]andenv.active_appcan retain stale paths across reruns. - Worker data path resolution layer: in cluster and workflow execution, UI pages may
choose and persist
workers_data_path, but canonical share-root storage and appdata_in/data_outresolution belong to the shared worker runtime:runtime_misc_support.initialize_runtime_state,BaseWorker._resolve_data_dir, andagi_node.agi_dispatcher.base_worker_path_support. The canonical workflow share root passed asworkers_data_pathisclustershare/<user>/<workflow-id>/<session>. App module subdirectories are appended by app arguments, where the module is the project name without the_projectsuffix, yieldingclustershare/<user>/<workflow-id>/<session>/<module>/...for app data. Do not fix duplicated paths such as<module>/<module>/dataset, stale<project>/<session>/workers, or UI value re-aggregation in one app page only. Fix the shared resolver when the failure class is generic, keep UI fixes limited to default selection/persistence, and add regressions at bothtest_base_worker_path_support.pyandtest_base_worker.pyplus a focused UI test only when the default/persisted value changes. Do not preserve backward compatibility for the legacy/workerslayout unless an explicit migration request requires it. - Source UI launches must be non-mutating by default: if starting
agilab run (dev)printsUninstalled ...orInstalled ..., inspect both the outer run-config command and any launcher-spawned inneruv runcommand. The selected default app is not the cause; uv is reconciling the project environment or theuiextra. Runtime launchers should preserveUV_NO_SYNCand useuv run --no-syncfor the inner native Python UI command. Do dependency bootstrap explicitly withuv sync --extra uior a clearly named sync flag before launch, not silently during normal UI startup. - PyPI app management: promoted public apps can be managed through the PROJECT page
Install PyPI appflow oragilab app search/check/install/list/update/remove. This route installsagi-app-*packages into the selected Python environment and discovers apps fromagilab.appsentry points. It is separate fromAPPS_REPOSITORY, which remains the source-checkout route for editable app repositories. - Source app install/test is script-first: when the source checkout is
already installed and the task is only to install or test apps from
APPS_REPOSITORY, run the app installer directly fromsrc/agilab. UseAPPS_REPOSITORY=/path/to/apps-repo AGILAB_DEV_APPS_REPOSITORY=1 BUILTIN_APPS=__AGILAB_ALL_APPS__ ./install_apps.shfor all installable source apps and add--test-appsfor app tests. Use a comma-separatedBUILTIN_APPSvalue for a subset, even for repository apps, because this is the script's model-free selection contract. On Windows, use the matchinginstall_apps.ps1 -TestAppscommand with the same environment variables. Do not replace this with a root reinstall, hand-edited~/.agilab/.env, or manual pytest loops. - PyCharm module hygiene: treat
.idea/modules/,.idea/modules.xml, and.idea/pyProjectModel.xmlas local/generated IDE state. Tracked.idea/modules/*.imlfiles should be removed from Git and regenerated bypycharm/setup_pycharm.py. After setup, the aligned state is:- no root-level
.idea/*.iml - no duplicate
.idea/**/*@*.imlor.idea/**/*#*.iml modules.xmlonly references valid$PROJECT_DIR$/.idea/modules/*.imlfiles.idea/modules/exists locally but is ignored If PyCharm is open and recreates duplicate module descriptors, do not kill user-owned IDE/processes; rerun setup and remove only the stale root/numbered descriptors and theirmodules.xmlrefs.
- no root-level
- Local-first validation: do not jump to GitHub Actions when the same check can be run locally.
Reproduce with the narrowest local command first: targeted
pytest, isolated coverage commands,py_compile, Sphinx builds, or publish dry-runs. Reserve coverage badge generation for release/pre-release validation or badge tooling changes. Use CI only for GitHub-only behavior such as runner differences, OS/Python matrix coverage, permissions/secrets, or the final publish/deploy step. - Current-code planning guardrail: before answering "next move", "ready for release",
"release it", "sync HF", or any operational sequencing question, inspect the current
repo state and authoritative workflow/tooling files. For release sequencing, check
./dev --print-only release,.github/workflows/pypi-publish.yaml, andtools/release_plan.pybefore saying whether PyPI, GitHub release assets, Hugging Face sync, release proof, or docs updates are separate manual steps. If the workflow already performs a step, state its condition instead of adding a redundant manual follow-up. - Impact triage first: for non-trivial diffs, run
uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python tools/impact_validate.py --stagedbefore editing further or pushing. Use its output to decide:- whether the change is app-local or shared-core
- which targeted tests are required
- whether installer repros are mandatory
- whether generated artifacts must be refreshed
- Diff-aware pre-push guards: keep
git config core.hooksPath .githooksenabled. The hook usestools/pre_push_changed_files.pyto run public docs integrity checks only for docs inputs, release-proof checks only for release-proof inputs, and agent-instruction contract checks only for AGENTS/runbook/skill/discovery inputs. If classification fails, it runs all local guards. Coverage badge freshness remains an explicit./dev badgeor release/pre-release check. - Public style badge alignment: keep the code-style/style-guard signal in
README.mdandREADME.pypi.mdaligned with the actual repository guard. If the public badge moves to a Ruff changed-files guard or another style tool, update both README files, grep for staleBlack,black, orcode%20stylebadge text, and avoid advertising a tool that is not wired into the local validation path. - Install-log startup check: before launching flows after installer changes or a reported install
failure, inspect the latest installer log for errors. On macOS/Linux:
dir="$HOME/log/install_logs"; f=$(ls -1t "$dir"/*.log 2>/dev/null | head -1); [ -n "$f" ] && echo "Log: $f" && grep -Eai "error|exception|traceback|failed|fatal|denied|missing|not found" "$f" | tail -n 25 || echo "No logs found."On Windows PowerShell:($d = "$HOME\log\install_logs"); $f = Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath $d -File | Sort-Object LastWriteTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1; if ($f) { Write-Host "Log:" $f.FullName; Select-String -LiteralPath $f.FullName -Pattern '(?i)(error|exception|traceback|failed|fatal|denied|missing|not found)' | Select-Object -Last 25 | ForEach-Object { $_.Line } } else { Write-Host "No logs found." } - Windows compatibility contract: distinguish native Windows package support from source-checkout
convenience. The released package CLI first-proof and
repo-guardrailsclean install matrix are expected to work on Windows. The source checkout installer still includes POSIX shell paths, so prefer WSL2 for that path unless the task explicitly targetsinstall.ps1or native Windows parity. Do not remove the Windows classifier only because a sourceinstall.shpath needs WSL2. - Windows process and path handling: when touching native Python UI sidecars or app/page launch helpers,
prefer argv-list commands with
shell=False; avoid POSIX-onlyshlex.quotestrings for commands that may run on Windows. For clone/app-repository links, allow Windows directory junction fallback when symlink creation is denied, and treat missing link privileges as a recoverable condition where possible. - Windows network shares: never hard-code placeholder
net usecredentials.BaseWorkershould attempt network-drive mapping only whenAGILAB_WINDOWS_NET_USE_USERandAGILAB_WINDOWS_NET_USE_PASSWORDare set, withAGILAB_WINDOWS_NET_USE_DRIVEoptionally selecting the drive letter. Missing credentials should skip mapping with an informational log. - Clone policy: in the PROJECT page, keep two clone classes explicit:
- temporary clones may share the source
.venvby symlink for lightweight local experiments - working clones should detach
.venvand rerunINSTALLbeforeEXECUTEDo not treat a shared.venvclone as a durable environment, and do not leave renamed projects with.venvsymlinks pointing at the old project path.
- temporary clones may share the source
- Shared core approval gate: do not edit shared core technology without explicit user approval first.
This includes
src/agilab/core/agi-env,src/agilab/core/agi-node,src/agilab/core/agi-cluster,src/agilab/core/agi-core, shared installer/build/deploy code, and generic helpers reused across apps/pages. Prefer app-local fixes first. If a core edit looks necessary, stop and explain the required files, blast radius, and validation plan before making the change. - Higher-model fix review: when a product or code fix was designed or implemented with model assistance, request a review from a stronger model before closing, pushing, or merging when that is available. The review should challenge root cause, regression chain, blast radius, security risk, and test coverage. If no stronger model is available in the current environment, state that explicitly and still perform the normal local review and validation path.
- Docs source of truth: edit this public checkout's independently owned
docs/source. Reject private/external documentation sources; do not discover sibling docs automatically or copy them into public builds or publication. - Generated docs in this repo: treat
docs/html(includingdocs/html/_sources) as build output only. Do not hand-edit files indocs/html; always edit source first and regenerate from this checkout'sdocs/source.- Public docs validation/build command:
uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python tools/workflow_parity.py --profile docs
- Public docs validation/build command:
- Python view API: retained views import
agi_web.python_ui, typically asst; usest.rerun(). Do not introduce Streamlit imports. Native view tests useagi_web.testing.AppTest; direct views run throughpython -m agi_web.react_python_host VIEW.py --address 127.0.0.1, with view arguments after--. - No silent fallbacks: avoid runtime “auto-fallbacks” between API clients or parameter rewrites; fail fast with actionable errors.
- Generated WORKFLOW code: keep safe-action contracts as the default assistant path for dataframe transformations. The model should return versioned JSON, AGILAB validates it against the dataframe schema, and AGILAB converts it into deterministic pandas code. Treat raw Python generation as explicit advanced mode; reserve process/container/VM sandbox guidance for raw Python execution, untrusted apps, or shared sensitive deployments, not the normal lightweight path.
- Worker artifact evidence: do not create a new worker subclass just to record outputs.
BaseWorkerexposes the shared artifact contract, soDagWorker,PandasWorker,PolarsWorker, and app workers can callrecord_artifact(...),record_metric(...), andwrite_manifest(...)to produce standard worker evidence without adding dataframe or UI dependencies. - Skill placement guardrail: repo-managed skills under
.claude/skills/and.codex/skills/must stay AGILAB-specific, cross-repo reusable for AGILAB work, or directly support this repository’s workflows. Personal skills or skills for non-AGILAB domains belong in~/.codex/skills/or the relevant private repo. - Repository update requests: when the user asks to "update repos", "sync repos", or similar,
first show the exact command plan before executing it. The plan should be a fenced
bashblock with concretegit -C <repo>commands for each targeted checkout. In AGILAB maintenance, the default target set is the activeagilabcheckout plus the sibling../thales_agilabprivate docs/apps checkout when it exists; include both in the printed plan or explicitly say why one is missing, unsafe, or out of scope. Use the fast path by default:status --porcelain=v1 --untracked-files=no,fetch --prune,rev-list --left-right --count HEAD...@{u}, thenmerge --ff-only @{u}only for repos that are actually behind. This avoids a redundant fetch fromgit pulland avoids slow untracked scans. Group independent repo checks and fetches in parallel when the tooling allows it. If a checkout has tracked dirty paths, do not merge it until the dirty paths are reported and the update plan is adjusted. If a dirty feature checkout blocks direct update of a repo'smain, check whether a clean registeredmainworktree exists before omitting that repository from the update. - PR agent metadata: every AGILAB PR description must include an
Agent Metadatasection with the Tokki version (tokki --version, ornot used/unavailable), agent/runtime name and version when exposed, model name, reasoning effort, and whether/fastmode was used. Do not infer missing values; writeunknown,unavailable, ornot usedexplicitly. - PR evidence contract: PR descriptions must stay current through merge.
Include
Review Evidencewhen model or sub-agent review was used, naming the reviewer model, result, and whether findings were addressed. If sub-agents were used, state their role/model and whether they edited files or reviewed only. Bugfix PRs must includeRepro,Root Cause, andRegression Testsections; if automation is impractical, say why and name the closest validation. Any skipped check must include a reason such asnot applicable,GitHub skipped, ormanual validation only. Before marking a PR ready or merging, update the body if review, CI, validation, or skip status changed after PR creation. - External AGILAB core pointer merges: when a private app or integration repository
points
.external/agilabat a stale AGILAB core branch and GitHub reports that the branch has no history in common with currentmain, do not force-merge or preserve the stale branch by default. Fetch the public AGILAB remote, check whether the intended fix already exists onorigin/main, move the external pointer to the current publicorigin/mainwhen it does, rerun the full private app-local validation against that pointer, then commit only the pointer update in the integration repository. After the pointer commit is pushed and validated, delete the stale unmergeable public branch. - Task cleanup: follow the task cleanup checkpoint for temporary workspaces, caches, previews, and worktrees. Preserve dirty worktrees; a binary diff and status snapshot do not preserve staged, untracked, or ignored contents. Keep unrelated branch/history maintenance outside task closeout.
Git footprint maintenance
- Distinguish clearly between:
- working-tree footprint (
.venv, caches, build artifacts) - local Git footprint (
.git/objects,.git/lfs) - remote repository history size
- working-tree footprint (
- If the user asks to reduce
.gitonly, do not touch.venv. - Measure before acting:
du -sh .git .git/objects .git/lfsgit count-objects -vHgit lfs prune --dry-run
- Prefer the safest local win first:
- run
git lfs prunewhen the dry-run shows meaningful reclaimable space - this reduces local
.git/lfswithout rewriting history
- run
- For actual history reduction:
- use
git filter-repo, never ad hoc low-level object surgery - work in an isolated
--mirrorclone, not in the main checkout - create a backup bundle before rewriting:
git bundle create /tmp/<repo>-pre-rewrite.bundle --all - preserve any uncommitted local files outside the checkout before realigning branches
- rewrite only the intended refs/paths; avoid touching
gh-pagesor unrelated refs unless requested - after force-pushing rewritten refs, realign the local checkout to the new
origin/*history and run:git reflog expire --expire=now --allgit gc --prune=now
- use
- Typical low-value history targets:
- generated
docs/html/** .idea/shelf/**- obsolete legacy paths or duplicated archives
- generated
- Do not promise a smaller remote repository from local pruning alone. Local LFS prune and local GC only affect the clone on disk.
Common commands (from the runbook matrix)
- Impact triage:
cd "$PROJECT_DIR" && uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python tools/impact_validate.py --staged
- Impact triage for planned paths:
cd "$PROJECT_DIR" && uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python tools/impact_validate.py --files src/agilab/orchestrate_execute.py test/test_orchestrate_execute.py
- Dev UI:
cd "$PROJECT_DIR" && uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run --extra ui python -m agilab --address 127.0.0.1 --apps-path src/agilab/apps - Apps-pages smoke:
cd "$PROJECT_DIR" && uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python tools/smoke_preinit.py --active-app src/agilab/apps/builtin/flight_project --timeout 20 - Apps-pages regression (AppTest):
cd "$PROJECT_DIR" && uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run pytest -q test/test_view_maps_network.py - First-adoption handoff:
- run
agilab first-proof --json --with-uior the equivalent source command to create~/log/execute/flight_telemetry/run_manifest.json - run
agilab adoption-reportfor the human checkpoint, oragilab adoption-report --json --strictfor automation - treat
safe_to_expand=trueas permission to try the next demo/notebook lane, not as production, shared-workstation, secrets, public-exposure, or cluster approval - for team handoff, keep the manifest, exported
agi-corenotebooks/lab_stages.ipynb, compatibility-report output, and redacted strict security-check output together. The notebook handoff removes dependence on the AGILAB UI/distributed-worker layer, but it still relies on the stable core runtime and the exported project's dependencies.

cd "$PROJECT_DIR" && uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python tools/pypi_publish.py --repo testpypi --dry-run --verbose - Publish to PyPI:
cd "$PROJECT_DIR" && uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python tools/pypi_publish.py --repo pypi --verbose --git-tag --git-commit-version --git-reset-on-failure- Real PyPI publishes now require the GitHub CLI (
gh) becausetools/pypi_publish.pycreates or updates the matching GitHub Release after pushing the tag. - Real PyPI does not auto-select
.postNwhen the date version already exists. Normal public releases should move to a deliberate new date-based version or a release candidate/TestPyPI rehearsal first. Public.postNreleases are forbidden for new AGILAB publications; userelease_mode=hotfixwithYYYY.MM.DD.Nfor a same-day public fix. - On publish retries, the top-level
agilabartifact may already exist while split runtime/app/page packages still need publication. Let the preflight/release plan decide what remains instead of checking only the root package. - Add
--delete-former-github-releaseonly when the public release page should keep a single current GitHub Release. This deletes the previous GitHub Release entry after the new one is created, but keeps the previous git tag and PyPI files. - Publication never runs cleanup. Plan separate local maintenance with
tools/pypi_release_retention.py --delete-release 'package==version'for explicitly reviewed targets, complete verified distribution backups, and local confirmation. The manual retention workflow only creates a read-only plan. Followdocs/pypi-cleanup-maintainer-guide.md; legacy publisher deletion and purge options fail with guidance. - PyPI "confirmed device" state is browser/account state, not a CLI or macOS-wide setting.
For web cleanup flows, log into
https://pypi.org/from a normal browser profile on the maintainer machine, keep PyPI cookies/site data, and add the Mac Touch ID/passkey under PyPI account two-factor security-device settings if needed. Do not commit passwords, recovery codes, cookies, browser profiles, or PyPI session material.
- Real PyPI publishes now require the GitHub CLI (
CI and badge checks
- Prefer local reproduction before rerunning workflows:
- if a failing step has a local command equivalent, run that first and fix locally
- only rerun a workflow after the local equivalent is green or when the issue is GitHub-specific
- If a workflow is
cancelled, fetch and compare the cancelled run head SHA with currentorigin/mainbefore debugging. A newer push often supersedes coverage onmain; follow the current head's run instead of fixing a cancelled predecessor unless the same failure reproduces on the latest head. - CI badge is pinned to
main:https://github.com/ThalesGroup/agilab/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg?branch=main
- When checking recent workflow state, prefer the GitHub Actions runs API:
uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python - <<'PY' ... https://api.github.com/repos/ThalesGroup/agilab/actions/workflows/ci.yml/runs?per_page=10 ... PY
- Public job logs may not be directly retrievable without auth. Use the runs/jobs API first to identify the failing step, then reproduce that exact command locally.
- For AGILAB specifically, the GitHub README now uses a static, versioned PyPI badge committed under
badges/:https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ThalesGroup/agilab/main/badges/pypi-version-agilab.svg
- The live PyPI page can still lag until a new package is actually published; do not infer package publication from the GitHub badge alone.
- After a release, verify all four surfaces separately before trusting version state:
- PyPI JSON:
https://pypi.org/pypi/agilab/json - PyPI simple index:
https://pypi.org/simple/agilab/ - GitHub Release:
gh release list --limit 5andgh release view <tag> - GitHub static badge:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ThalesGroup/agilab/main/badges/pypi-version-agilab.svg - If PyPI JSON is current but clean installs still resolve an old version, check
the Simple API and use
uv --refresh-package agilabor a fresh cache before declaring the publish broken.
- PyPI JSON:
- Also verify the GitHub deployment environments, not only the workflow conclusion:
- the split-package publisher now publishes runtime components, UI components,
page bundles, app-project payloads, the
agi-pages/agi-appsumbrellas, and the top-levelagilabpackage. Do not check onlypypi-agi-appsorpypi-agi-pages; a green umbrella publish can still hide a missing payload such aspypi-agi-app-flight-project. - the legacy
/deployments/pypipage can stay red from older releases because the current Trusted Publisher/OIDC claim intentionally no longer uses the genericpypiGitHub environment - derive the authoritative package/environment list from the release plan:
uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python tools/release_plan.py --check-workflow .github/workflows/pypi-publish.yaml - for a focused deployment-status check, query the environment names emitted by the release plan instead of maintaining a separate hard-coded list
- before retiring a stale generic
pypideployment, confirm it has no rules, secrets, or variables:gh api repos/ThalesGroup/agilab/environments/pypi,gh secret list --repo ThalesGroup/agilab --env pypi, andgh variable list --repo ThalesGroup/agilab --env pypi - if the generic
pypienvironment is only stale legacy status, mark its latest failed deploymentinactiveand point the status at the successfulpypi-publishrun; do not rewrite a genuinely failed deployment assuccess
- the split-package publisher now publishes runtime components, UI components,
page bundles, app-project payloads, the
- Verify the published wheel from outside the repo checkout so imports cannot resolve to local source:
cd /tmp && uv run --refresh-package agilab --no-project --with agilab==<version> python -c "import importlib.metadata as m; print(m.version('agilab'))"cd /tmp && uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run --refresh-package agilab --no-project --with 'agilab[examples]==<version>' python -m agilab.lab_run first-proof --json --max-seconds 60- Use
agilab[examples]for packaged first-proof smoke; the baseagilabwheel is intentionally lean and may not install demo payload dependencies.
- The public PyPI release workflow includes the
sync-hf-spacejob after GitHub release assets. It deploys the Hugging Face Space, runs the hosted smoke test, and records the Space commit in release proof whenneeds.release-plan.outputs.umbrella_selected == 'true',needs.release-approval.result == 'success', andneeds.publish-release-assets.result == 'success'. Do not add a separate manual HF sync step to a release plan unless that job failed, was skipped by selected package scope, or the user explicitly asks for an out-of-band Space redeploy. - If the version changes, update the static badge and GitHub Release in the same commit series as the version bump so
main, PyPI, the README, and release metadata stay aligned.
CI workflow lessons
- The root
src/agilab/teststep is more stable when run from the source tree instead of the full project environment:PYTHONPATH='src' COVERAGE_FILE=.coverage.agilab uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run --no-project --with pytest --with pytest-cov --with toml --with packaging python -m pytest ... --ignore=src/agilab/test/test_model_returns_code.py src/agilab/test
- The integration-only
src/agilab/test/test_model_returns_code.pyshould be ignored in CI collection, not merely deselected by marker, because import-time behavior can still break collection. - Core package coverage steps are more reliable when each step uses an isolated no-project env with explicit editable core packages and test-only extras, instead of relying on the monorepo root env.
agi-envtests need:- editable
./src/agilab/core/agi-env - editable
./src/agilab/core/agi-node sqlalchemy
- editable
- Shared core tests (
src/agilab/core/test) need:- editable
./src/agilab/core/agi-env - editable
./src/agilab/core/agi-node - editable
./src/agilab/core/agi-cluster - editable
./src/agilab/core/agi-core sqlalchemypytest-asyncio
- editable
- Coverage combine/XML generation should use an isolated coverage toolchain too:
uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run --no-project --with coverage --with pytest-cov python -m coverage ...
- Internal package exact-pin tests must account for valid environment markers. If an app
package raises its Python floor, keep the umbrella dependency marker such as
; python_version >= '3.13'instead of downgrading the app or broadening unsupported Python versions. Tests should parse requirements or compare the unmarked exact pin plus marker validity, not raw strings only.
Troubleshooting reminders
- Source run unexpectedly points to
$HOME/agi-space:- confirm the launched script path is the current checkout, not the packaged install
- confirm the PyCharm SDK was rebound to the intended checkout when switching roots
- inspect
~/.local/share/agilab/.agilab-pathand~/.agilab/.envbefore trusting UI headers - reproduce with a cold
agi_web.testing.AppTestsession; a warm session can keep a staleenvobject even after the source code is fixed
- Missing import: check both manager and worker
pyproject.tomlscopes (src/agilab/apps/<app>/pyproject.tomlandsrc/agilab/apps/<app>/src/<app>_worker/pyproject.toml). - Installer pip issue: run
uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python -m ensurepip --upgradeonce in the target venv. - Cluster inventory/status mismatch:
- Start with fresh discovery, not remembered LAN addresses:
uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run --no-sync python tools/cluster_flight_validation.py --discover-lan --remote-user <user> --json --no-discovery-cache. Treat nodes withstatus="no-ssh-port"or missing ARP as stale candidates; do not use them for validation until a fresh SSH probe succeeds. - If the UI shows a worker as unreachable but
ssh <user>@<ip> 'echo ok'works, reproduce the exact non-interactive probe path used by AGILAB before changing UI display code. - Check remote PATH and required tools with SSH, not an interactive shell:
ssh <user>@<ip> 'printf "path=%s\n" "$PATH"; command -v python3; command -v nvidia-smi || true; uname -a'. - Validate the same account can reach the scheduler and shared storage from the worker:
ssh <user>@<ip> 'ssh -o BatchMode=yes <scheduler_user>@<scheduler_ip> hostname'and the configured cluster-share mount/read-write sentinel. - Treat a display of "+ 1 worker unreachable" as an inventory/probe failure until the exact probe command succeeds; a bare SSH success only proves authentication.
- Start with fresh discovery, not remembered LAN addresses:
- For a reinstalled cluster node, separate host-key repair from auth repair:
- rediscover the worker IP first; examples must use
<ip>placeholders, not LAN addresses remembered from an earlier session - host key changed:
- obtain the expected Ed25519 fingerprint from the worker console or another authenticated out-of-band channel; a changed key is not proof of a reinstall
- collect the replacement without trusting it:
ssh-keyscan -H -t ed25519 <ip> > <candidate-host-key-file> - inspect it with
ssh-keygen -lf <candidate-host-key-file>and compare the fingerprint exactly with the independently verified expected fingerprint - if verification fails or the expected fingerprint is unavailable, stop;
preserve the existing
known_hostsentry and do not weaken SSH checking - only after verification, back up
~/.ssh/known_hosts, runssh-keygen -R <ip>, then append the verified candidate withcat <candidate-host-key-file> >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
- user key missing on remote:
ssh-copy-id agi@<ip>- or recreate
~/.ssh/authorized_keyswith0700/0600permissions
- rediscover the worker IP first; examples must use
- If cluster mode depends on shared storage, restore the node’s
.agilab/.envand remount the share before blaming AGILAB:- Linux node example:
worker_home="<worker-home>"AGI_CLUSTER_SHARE="$worker_home/clustershare"AGI_LOCAL_SHARE="$worker_home/localshare"sshfs <manager-user>@<manager-ip>:/path/to/manager/clustershare "$worker_home/clustershare"
- Linux node example:
- For macOS SSHFS workers:
command -v brewcan miss Intel Homebrew; check/usr/local/Homebrew/bin/brewbefore assuming Homebrew is absent.- Prefer an interactive package install of FUSE-T SSHFS or macFUSE plus SSHFS; the package step may need an admin password.
- Confirm non-interactive SSH can find
sshfs:ssh <user>@<worker> 'command -v sshfs'. - If
sshfsis under/usr/local/binbut not found over SSH, add/usr/local/binin the remote user’s~/.zshenv. - Validate reverse SSH too:
ssh <user>@<worker> 'ssh -o BatchMode=yes <manager_user>@<manager_ip> hostname'. - Fix worker-side
known_hostsfirst, then add the worker public key to the manager account if reverse auth fails.
- After a reinstall, validate both directions explicitly before rerunning installs:
ssh agi@<ip> 'echo ok'ssh agi@<ip> 'ssh -o BatchMode=yes agi@<scheduler_ip> hostname'
