Summary

  • add supported source and Docker Compose paths for headless NVIDIA and ROCm workers
  • enroll and advertise capabilities from environment configuration alone
  • make persisted one-use join tokens restart-safe and expose enrollment-gated container readiness

Closes #1638

Changes

  • add worker-only worker-gpu and worker-rocm profiles with no published UI port
  • replace the nonexistent console command in worker docs and acceptance tooling
  • persist consumed-token markers atomically, validate damaged markers, and permit deliberate non-revoked moves with a fresh token
  • add an internal worker readiness endpoint and Compose healthchecks
  • update README, Docker/worker docs, Docker Hub overview, and changelog with reporter credit

Type

  • ✨ New feature
  • 🐛 Bug fix
  • 📝 Documentation
  • 🧪 Tests

Testing

  • fail-before: packaging tests reject the previous nonexistent command/missing profiles; readiness and damaged-token tests reject the previous generic-health and token-retry behavior
  • 718 worker/API/packaging/changelog tests passed offline; 59 auth/security/bind checks passed
  • 113 focused checks passed again after merging current main
  • NVIDIA and ROCm Compose configs validate; shell syntax, Python compile, docs validator, and diff checks pass
  • source uvicorn command reached application startup successfully; physical remote GPUs were not available in this environment

Checklist

  • I have tested this locally
  • I have updated relevant documentation
  • No local machine paths, logs, or personal env details in this PR
  • Version files are unchanged
  • Runtime fixtures remain covered by the cross-platform smoke gate

Adds headless NVIDIA and ROCm worker Compose profiles with persistent enrollment, one-use token handling, enrollment-gated readiness, healthchecks, and durable worker execution safeguards. Updates documentation, acceptance tooling, and tests for the supported worker startup flow and rollback behavior. Review enrollment, artifact persistence, and rollback paths because physical remote GPU validation was unavailable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds durable protocol-v2 worker enrollment, cancellation-safe worker lifecycle handling, artifact persistence and quota controls, scheduler transaction support, and headless NVIDIA and ROCm deployment profiles. Updates remote-worker documentation, startup commands, protocol checks, and regression coverage.

Changes

Headless worker operation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Enrollment, transport, and lifecycle
backend/worker/agent.py, backend/worker/inbound/*, backend/worker/transport/*, backend/worker/service.py, backend/worker/registry.py, backend/api/routers/workers.py
Enrollment uses a durable manifest and rollback. Registration activates readiness after control configuration. Transport, revocation, TLS, endpoint validation, and cancellation handling preserve durable and live state across failures.
Durable execution and artifact handling
backend/worker/executor.py, backend/worker/inbound/artifacts.py, backend/worker/task_store.py, backend/worker/scheduler.py, backend/worker/capacity.py
Execution drains blocking work before cancellation completes. Input and result artifacts use hashing, atomic publication, leases, quotas, acknowledgements, and crash-aware cleanup. Scheduler persistence precedes publication and reconnect reconciliation uses durable generations.
Headless deployment and validation
deploy/docker-compose.yml, docs/remote-workers.md, docs/install/docker.md, tests/*, scripts/verify-remote-worker.sh
Compose adds worker-only NVIDIA and ROCm profiles with readiness checks and persistent volumes. Documentation and verification use the supported Uvicorn command. Tests cover protocol-v2 enrollment, lifecycle behavior, durable storage, quotas, revocation, scheduling, and packaging.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f8af6

The PR adds headless worker packaging, enrollment persistence, readiness checks, and install cancellation behavior. A cancellation race can leave model downloads running after cancellation is reported, while enrollment state may remain inconsistent after a restart; merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

Local-First Guarantee ✅ Passed No new telemetry, cloud SDK, account, or API-key flow appears; worker TLS dialing is explicit worker-mode traffic to a user-supplied endpoint, and normal startup remains offline-safe.
Backward Compatibility ✅ Passed PR diff adds no backend schema or Alembic changes; worker state uses DATA_DIR/workers, existing services retain omnivoice-data and HF_HOME, and model-cache download logic is unchanged.

560-584: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Commit enrollment state as one durable generation.

On a headless host where _remember_endpoint() cannot use settings_store, this callback persists the certificate, ID, and token hash but not the endpoint; a matching environment token then skips legacy decoding and restart cannot select a control-plane endpoint. An interruption between these writes can also combine the new certificate with the previous worker_id, so persist and select one atomic enrollment generation containing the certificate, endpoint, ID, and hash, then add fresh-enrollment and crash-window restart regressions. As per coding guidelines, “Maintain backward compatibility” and “Root-cause the class … add a fail-before/pass-after regression test.”

tests/test_worker_upload_client.py (1)

188-188: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Patch the client module's open, not global builtins.open. The replacement lambda accepts exactly two positional arguments, so any unrelated open() call made anywhere in the process while the test awaits — logging handlers, lazy imports, worker threads — raises TypeError and makes this test flaky. tests/test_worker_upload_server.py already uses the narrow form (monkeypatch.setattr(server_module, "open", ..., raising=False)); apply the same here against the transport client module.

♻️ Narrower patch target
-    monkeypatch.setattr(builtins, "open", lambda path, _mode: ShortBlockingFile(path))
+    monkeypatch.setattr(
+        client_module, "open", lambda path, _mode: ShortBlockingFile(path), raising=False
+    )

As per path instructions: "Review as a test-infrastructure engineer."

Global installer state leaks when an assertion fails.

300-329: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

save_worker_key creates the directory without persisting its parent entry.

Line 301 uses os.makedirs(..., exist_ok=True), so a freshly created workers/ directory entry is never fsynced; the key file is fsynced into a directory that may not survive power loss, and the worker then loses the identity it enrolled with. Use the same durable creation the rest of this PR adopts (tls._durable_makedirs / agent._durable_makedirs) before opening the temporary file.

338-359: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Four identical copies of _fsync_parent_directory were added in this PR. The same errno-tolerant directory-fsync helper now exists in four modules, so a future durability fix must be applied four times or silently diverge.

  • backend/worker/identity.py#L338-L359: remove the local copy and import the shared helper.
  • backend/worker/tls.py#L444-L466: remove the local copy and import the shared helper.
  • backend/worker/agent.py#L514-L536: remove the local copy and import the shared helper; _durable_makedirs here also duplicates the one in tls.py.
  • backend/worker/inbound/artifacts.py#L1107-L1129: remove the local copy and import the shared helper.

Put one implementation in a shared module (for example next to worker/async_utils.py). Note that the existing tests monkeypatch tls._fsync_parent_directory and task_store._fsync_parent_directory by module attribute, so keep module-level names that those patches still resolve.

1032-1053: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Every cache hit now re-hashes the whole input file.

_already_held reads and SHA-256s the entire file whenever ref.sha256 is set, and _fetch_one_owned calls it twice per fetch (line 459, then again under the publication gate at line 490). For a multi-hundred-megabyte reference clip this turns a free cache hit into two full disk reads on every task. Consider caching the verified (path, size, mtime_ns, digest) generation so a repeat hit revalidates by stat and only re-hashes when the stat changes.

- Around line 338-359: Centralize _fsync_parent_directory in one shared worker
utility and replace the duplicate implementations with imports, preserving
module-level names so existing monkeypatches of tls._fsync_parent_directory and
task_store._fsync_parent_directory continue to resolve. Apply this in
backend/worker/identity.py lines 338-359, backend/worker/tls.py lines 444-466,
backend/worker/agent.py lines 514-536, and backend/worker/inbound/artifacts.py
lines 1107-1129; also reuse the shared _durable_makedirs implementation in
agent.py where applicable.

In `@tests/test_worker_capability_refresh.py`:
- Around line 289-329: Update
test_cancelled_remote_install_waits_for_its_background_task so
setup_download._install_tasks_by_repo and setup_download._cancelled are cleaned
up in a finally block, ensuring cleanup runs even when assertions or awaiting
the cancelled task fails.

In `@tests/test_worker_upload_client.py`:
- Line 188: Update the monkeypatch in the test setup around ShortBlockingFile to
replace open on the transport client module rather than builtins.open; use the
same narrow module-level patching approach as the worker upload server test and
preserve the existing lambda behavior.
