Summary

Move the managed vLLM model and hardware profile matrix into the compiled managed-inference catalog so runtime selection, profile listing, model preparation, and probe policy all derive from one declarative source instead of duplicated model-specific TypeScript branches.

This PR also refreshes the llama.cpp image curl package tuple to the Ubuntu revision currently available in the package repository, restoring both architecture builds.

The catalog migration preserves the existing supported matrix. It does not yet add generic Linux profiles for Muse Glimmer or Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, and it does not change vLLM or llama.cpp port behavior.

Design context: managed inference catalog and declarative profile migration.

Changes

  • Add versioned model YAML resources and schemas to the managed-inference catalog compiler.
  • Migrate the supported Spark, Station, N1x, and generic Linux vLLM profiles and recipes into YAML.
  • Derive the vLLM registry, runtime variants, defaults, preparation steps, orchestration references, and endpoint probe policies from compiled catalog data.
  • Route explicit provider/model intent through declarative requirements and materialize selected host-local recipes at the existing runtime boundary.
  • Add host architecture, compute capability, GPU memory, and unified-memory facts used during catalog qualification.
  • Add compiler, resolver, registry, materialization, profile-list, runtime-selection, and package-contract coverage, including a catalog-only test proving that new models and profiles can be discovered without editing the TypeScript registry.
  • Refresh build-stage and runtime-stage curl package pins for amd64 and arm64 llama.cpp images and keep the Dockerfile, image manifest, and exporter contract synchronized.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The managed inference catalog now supports reusable model definitions, catalog-backed vLLM runtime variants, platform-specific recipes and presets, readiness-based selection, direct-install policies, and Station-pair orchestration. The llama.cpp image pins advance to Ubuntu curl revision 8.5.0-2ubuntu10.12.

Catalog contracts and model definitions
managed-inference/schemas/*, src/lib/inference/serving/catalog.ts, src/lib/inference/serving/types.ts, managed-inference/models/*
The catalog adds ServingModel resources, model references, runtime constraints, orchestration settings, direct-install policies, validation metadata, and schema compatibility checks.
Recipes and platform presets
managed-inference/recipes/*, managed-inference/presets/*
The catalog adds model-specific vLLM recipes and hardware-qualified presets for DeepSeek, Muse, Nemotron, and Qwen deployments across DGX Spark, DGX Station, N1x, Linux arm64, and Linux amd64.
Catalog-backed runtime selection
src/lib/inference/vllm-models.ts, src/lib/inference/vllm.ts, src/lib/inference/serving/*, src/lib/readiness/host.ts
vLLM runtime resolution now uses catalog variants, architecture and GPU requirements, model aliases, readiness reports, install policies, and Station-pair orchestration.
Validation and integration coverage
src/lib/inference/**/*.test.ts, test/**/*.test.ts, package.json
Tests cover model schemas, catalog compilation, runtime selection, readiness checks, installation, package contents, lifecycle schema versioning, and model-file watch triggers.
Image and launch-contract updates
managed-inference/images/llama-cpp/*, scripts/checks/export-llama-cpp-image-config.mts, scripts/install.sh, src/lib/inference/vllm-station-cluster-lifecycle.ts
llama.cpp curl-related packages use Ubuntu revision 8.5.0-2ubuntu10.12. The dual-Station vLLM launch schema advances from 2 to 3.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 39699

The refactor centralizes model and hardware profile selection and refreshes llama.cpp package pins, with no supplied current-head failure in those changes. A bounded correctness concern remains because ambiguous catalog data may still produce an uncaught resume error instead of a structured failure, so merge is reasonable with explicit owner follow-up.

## Summary

Move the existing managed vLLM model and hardware profile matrix into
the compiled managed-inference catalog. Runtime selection, profile
listing, model preparation, and probe policy now derive from the same
declarative source instead of duplicating model-specific TypeScript
branches.

This foundation preserves the current supported matrix. It does not add
Linux Muse Glimmer or Nemotron 3.5 Lightning profiles and does not
change vLLM or llama.cpp port behavior.

Depends on #9660, which refreshes the llama.cpp image's Ubuntu curl
package tuple. This PR does not otherwise change the llama.cpp image.

Design context: [managed inference
catalog](#7636) and
[declarative profile
migration](#8379).

## Changes

- Add versioned model YAML resources and a model schema to the
managed-inference catalog compiler.
- Migrate the currently supported Spark, Station, N1x, and generic Linux
vLLM profiles and recipes into YAML.
- Derive the vLLM registry, runtime variants, defaults, preparation
steps, orchestration references, and endpoint probe policies from
compiled catalog data.
- Route explicit provider/model intent through declarative requirements
and materialize selected host-local recipes into the existing runtime
boundary.
- Add host architecture, compute capability, GPU memory, and
unified-memory facts used by catalog qualification.
- Add compiler, resolver, registry, materialization, profile-list,
runtime-selection, and package-contract coverage. The catalog-only model
test protects the requirement that a new model/profile can be discovered
without editing the TypeScript registry.

The compiler boundary is required because catalog resources are consumed
by the CLI, packaged artifact, profile list, resolver, and runtime
launcher. Keeping independent TypeScript model tables would allow those
consumers to drift and would continue requiring code changes for each
profile.

159-178: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

An ambiguous catalog now throws out of resume-intent parsing.

vllmStationPairForOrchestration throws when more than one runtime variant of the model claims vllm.station-pair-optional/v1 for station/arm64 (see src/lib/inference/vllm-models.ts Lines 478-482). getStationExpressResumeIntent calls this function at Line 994 without a guard, and it returns an IntentResult everywhere else. The sibling helpers stationModel and sparkModel already convert a lookup failure into null.

A catalog with two matching Station-pair variants therefore aborts the resume path with an uncaught exception instead of producing a structured failure message.

🛡️ Proposed guard
-  const stationPair = vllmStationPairForOrchestration(
-    model,
-    STATION_PAIR_OPTIONAL_ORCHESTRATION,
-    "station",
-    "arm64",
-  );
+  let stationPair;
+  try {
+    stationPair = vllmStationPairForOrchestration(
+      model,
+      STATION_PAIR_OPTIONAL_ORCHESTRATION,
+      "station",
+      "arm64",
+    );
+  } catch {
+    return null;

Assert the expected failure reason.

The title states that DGX Spark accepts the optimized Lightning recipe, but the test asserts { ok: false } and then checks only that one specific message is absent. Any other failure also satisfies both assertions, so the test can keep passing after a regression that changes where the install stops.

Add an assertion for the actual reason the install returns ok: false, and add a short comment that states why the success path is not reachable in this harness.

This assertion is now tautological.

The launch label is generated from DUAL_STATION_VLLM_LAUNCH_SCHEMA, and the expectation now reads the same constant. The assertion holds for any value of that constant, so it can no longer detect an accidental schema bump. A schema version is exactly the value that must change deliberately.

Keep the literal "3" in this assertion, and keep the constant in the fixture at Line 164. The fixture then models real container state while the assertion pins the wire value.

managed state and allow exact owned-container replacement under the lifecycle
lock, enabling preflight mutation and recovery of the pair. Preserve the foreign
classification for unknown or malformed schema labels, and keep the current

- Around line 1762-1776: Update the picker branch around
resolveHostLocalVllmSelection so a configured VLLM_EXTRA_ARGS_ENV does not
trigger the host-local environment-conflict rejection for the interactively
selected model; skip this re-selection or pass the picker choice through a
distinct non-conflicting intent, while preserving normal selection behavior when
extra args are absent.

Outside diff comments:
In `@src/lib/onboard/station-express-resume.ts`:
- Around line 159-178: Update getStationExpressResumeIntent to guard its
vllmStationPairForOrchestration call, converting lookup exceptions into the
existing structured failure result instead of allowing them to escape. Match the
null/error-handling behavior used by the sibling stationModel and sparkModel
helpers, while preserving normal resume-intent parsing for unambiguous catalogs.

Nitpick comments:
In `@src/lib/inference/vllm-models.test.ts`:
- Around line 85-143: Update the synthetic catalog fixture in the test around
vllmModelsFromCatalog so the cloned addedRecipe does not retain the source
modelRef after replacing recipe.spec.model. Remove the inherited modelRef from
addedRecipe, or instead provide a matching model definition and modelRef so the
catalog remains internally consistent.

In `@src/lib/inference/vllm-models.ts`:
- Around line 768-822: The Station-pair configuration around rewriteVllmArgs
must tolerate recipes that omit --max-num-seqs or --gpu-memory-utilization.
Update this override flow to validate those required arguments and append the
expected values when absent, while preserving replacement behavior when present.

In `@src/lib/inference/vllm-station-cluster-lifecycle.test.ts`:
- Line 308: Update the assertion in the test to compare the launch label against
the literal wire value "3" instead of DUAL_STATION_VLLM_LAUNCH_SCHEMA, while
preserving DUAL_STATION_VLLM_LAUNCH_SCHEMA in the fixture setup so the test
models container state and detects unintended schema changes.

In `@src/lib/inference/vllm-station-cluster.ts`:
- Around line 47-63: Defer catalog resolution until the relevant vLLM runtime is
requested: in src/lib/inference/vllm-station-cluster.ts lines 47-63, move the
lookups and validation throws into a memoized accessor and update
DUAL_STATION_VLLM_RUNTIME consumers to call it; in src/lib/inference/vllm.ts
lines 287-326, construct SPARK_PROFILE, N1X_PROFILE, and STATION_PROFILE lazily
inside detectVllmProfile so defaultVllmRuntimeForPlatform runs only for the
selected platform.

In `@src/lib/inference/vllm.test.ts`:
- Around line 756-777: Strengthen the test around installVllm by asserting the
specific expected failure reason behind result.ok being false, rather than only
checking the result shape and absence of the DGX Spark message. Add a brief
comment explaining why the successful installation path is unreachable in this
harness, while preserving the existing Lightning recipe and image assertions.
- Around line 649-654: Remove the runtime-less fallback from the test fixture
built around detectVllmProfile, and update both fixtures to use catalog-shaped
models with requireRuntimeVariant enabled. Preserve the existing profile-image
and run-flag checks before runtime resolution.

Requesting changes on da9cef9:

  • managed-inference/schemas/recipe.schema.json:28 accepts modelRef globally, while the llama.cpp branch only forbids bindings at line 1617. A negative validation probe added modelRef, runtime.minimumGpuMemoryBytes, execution.orchestrationRef, and serve.directInstall to a llama.cpp recipe; validation still returned valid: true. Reject backend-inapplicable fields and add negative schema tests.
  • src/lib/inference/vllm-station-cluster-lifecycle.ts:63 changes launch schema 2 to 3, while inspection at line 752 classifies every older schema as foreign. Existing owned schema-2 Station pairs then fail preflight, cleanup, and base-URL recovery. Recognize schema 2 as stale owned state and cover replacement and recovery.
  • src/lib/inference/vllm.ts:1762 turns an interactive picker choice into NEMOCLAW_VLLM_MODEL, then host-local-vllm-selection.ts:198 rejects it whenever NEMOCLAW_VLLM_EXTRA_ARGS_JSON is set. A focused executable probe reproduced one prompt followed by { ok: false }. Preserve picker plus extra arguments and add a regression test.

Focused checks at this commit: catalog validation, CLI typecheck, 322 focused CLI tests, and 53 focused integration tests passed. The three negative paths above remain uncovered.

One blocker remains on commit efd960ac: the new picker/extra-arguments test stops at Continue? and never exercises launch. I changed only that test to answer yes and assert the Docker command; it failed because the command kept the recipe value --max-model-len 262144 and omitted the requested --max-model-len 32768. installVllm() parses and logs the arguments from process.env, but startContainer() builds the serve command from the sanitized Docker environment, which does not retain NEMOCLAW_VLLM_EXTRA_ARGS_JSON. Please carry the validated arguments explicitly into the launch builder and make this test continue through dockerRunDetached and assert the resulting command.

Approved latest PR commit 98f9a5f. The reproduced blockers are resolved: llama.cpp rejects vLLM-only fields, schema-2 Station pairs remain owned but non-reusable and are replaced safely, and the interactive picker now preserves extra vLLM arguments through launch; the focused launch test proves --max-model-len 32768 reaches the Docker command. CLI build and type-check, catalog consistency, 399 focused CLI tests, and 57 integration tests passed. Security review passes all nine categories: the validated and shell-quoted arguments affect command construction only, with no credential, dependency, authorization, or containment change. Product scope remains the accepted catalog foundation; #9673 is still a separate dependent profile slice and #7127 behavior is preserved.

## Summary

When exact managed llama.cpp cleanup failed, `nemoclaw uninstall`
stopped before unrelated teardown and a generic cleanup path could retry
the ambiguous runtime. Uninstall now preserves the failed gateway-scoped
llama.cpp authority for retry, skips other managed-model cleanup,
continues unrelated state and binary removal, and returns exit status 1.
Docker cleanup now leases the lifecycle transaction, then stops and
proves its exact private bridge before revalidating persisted engine
authority.

## Related Issue

Fixes #9575

## Changes

- Pass the uninstall runtime environment to gateway-scoped managed
llama.cpp cleanup and inventory every exact cleanup target before
mutation.
- Treat a known llama.cpp cleanup failure as a partial uninstall
failure: preserve its ownership state, skip generic managed-model
cleanup, continue unrelated steps, and return 1. Unsafe ownership
inventory and non-llama managed-runtime failures remain fatal.
- Acquire the lifecycle execution lease after validating private owner,
journal, and receipt state, then stop and assert the exact Docker
private bridge before reconstructing Docker engine authority. A live
lease prevents bridge and Docker mutation; changed engine authority
still prevents every Docker inspection and mutation and retains state
for retry.
- Inject the private bridge controller in cleanup tests while creating
the production controller only on Linux.
- Add regression coverage for final-step continuation, unrelated-state
removal, managed-state preservation, generic-cleanup suppression,
nonzero exit, exact bridge shutdown, changed engine authority, and zero
Docker calls.
- The earlier incomplete portable-session gate is handled by merged PR
#9597, now included through current `main`; this change remains focused
on the subsequent managed llama.cpp failure.
- The compiled CLI documentation-parity crawl repeatedly exceeded its
120-second subprocess budget on hosted CI, including an isolated
failed-only rerun. Increase only that test's kill budget to 240 seconds
while retaining every command and flag parity assertion.
- Compile the managed inference catalog before the portable CPU
delegation proof because its live test now imports catalog-backed
onboarding code; retain the existing shared-policy build.

The escaped defect had two root causes: the uninstall plan modeled every
model-cleanup error as fatal, and llama.cpp cleanup rebuilt Docker
authority before stopping the receipt-bound private bridge. Existing
tests covered all-or-nothing cleanup and engine mismatch independently,
but not partial uninstall continuation with retained authority,
lease-before-bridge ordering, or bridge-before-engine ordering.

## Type of Change

- [x] Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
- [ ] Code change with doc updates
- [ ] Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
- [ ] Doc only (includes code sample changes)

## Quality Gates

- [x] Tests added or updated for changed behavior
- [ ] Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
- [ ] Tests not applicable — justification:
- [x] Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight,
onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
- [x] Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver
recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification: Self-review completed
against the cleanup state matrix. Unknown ownership and non-llama
failures still fail closed; a known llama failure preserves private
owner/journal/receipt evidence; a live lifecycle lease permits no bridge
or Docker mutation; changed engine authority permits no Docker
inspection or mutation; no credential values are logged or changed.
- [ ] Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer —
check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

## DGX Station Hardware Evidence

- [ ] Tested on DGX Station
- Tested commit: Not applicable; this change does not modify
`scripts/prepare-dgx-station-host.sh`.
- Station profile/scenario: Not applicable.
- Result: Not applicable.
- Supporting evidence: DGX Spark read-only inspection retained the live
issue scenario: OpenShell on 8080 and managed llama.cpp on 8081. No live
uninstall or manual cleanup was run because it would mutate the
preserved authority evidence.

## Verification

appears as `Verified` in GitHub
- [x] Normal `pre-commit`, `commit-msg`, and `pre-push` hooks passed, or
`npm run validate:pr` passed after refreshing `origin/main` when hooks
were skipped or unavailable
- [x] Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests

src/lib/actions/uninstall src/lib/inference/local-model-profile` (25
files, 361 tests before the #9660 base update).
- [ ] Applicable broad gate passed — `npm test` for broad
runtime/test-harness changes; `npm run check` for repo-wide
validation/coverage changes — command/result: `npm test` built both
packages, then reported 98 failed files/462 failed tests across
unrelated pairing, onboarding, package-contract, installer, and E2E
fixtures. A pre-existing `/tmp/package.json` containing
`{"type":"module"}` caused Node 24 to reinterpret temporary CommonJS
fixtures as ESM. Re-running representative affected fixtures under an
isolated `TMPDIR` passed; the remaining isolated failures were unrelated
DGX platform-qualification cases on current `main`. CI runs in a clean
environment and is the authoritative broad result.

## Summary

Add explicit-only Linux amd64 managed-vLLM profiles for Muse Glimmer 30B
and NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B-A3B.

This is the scoped experimental implementation authorized by #9673 and
is stacked on the declarative catalog foundation in #9660.

## Changes

- Add Linux x86_64 NVIDIA GPU presets for Muse and Lightning.
- Add pinned amd64 vLLM recipes with model-specific images, memory
floors, compute-capability floors, and serve arguments.
- Keep both profiles explicit-only and experimental; no automatic
support promotion or generic fallback is introduced.
- Preserve the optimized DGX Spark recipes as the more specific
selection.
- Test catalog compilation, direct model selection, amd64/arm64
rejection, insufficient-memory rejection, runtime materialization,
compute floors, and Spark precedence.

## Scope boundaries

- No port configuration changes; vLLM port work remains in #9655.
- No llama.cpp port or lifecycle changes; those remain separate in
#9644.
- No support-state promotion, default-model change, or arbitrary-model
escape hatch.
- No TypeScript model-specific routing branches; the additions are
declarative catalog data.

- Accepted implementation scope and ownership: #9673
- Declarative catalog foundation: #9660
- Related design direction: #7636

- [x] Sensitive-path review completed: selection remains explicit-only,
images and revisions are pinned, architecture/memory/compute constraints
are checked before materialization, and shipped recipes do not enable
remote model code.
- [ ] Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer

## Verification

- [x] `npm run catalog:check`
- [x] 67 focused compiler, resolver, and runtime-selection tests
- [x] `npm run typecheck:cli`
- [x] Focused Oxlint and formatting checks
- [x] `npm run validate:pr`
- [x] `git diff --check`

## Hardware evidence

The earlier prototype completed managed onboarding for both models on a
Brev RTX PRO Server 6000, including authenticated discovery, chat, tool
calling, loopback binding, restart, and recovery. Current head
`7d5d455f01db72919eab166450e060dedfbe3727` retains the validated runtime
images and serve arguments; independent final-head validation remains
pending.
