Replace the eventfd/ring job bootstrap with one inherited arena descriptor, actor-owned sessions, sealed blob leases, awaitable inbox wakeups, and zero-copy Python mappings. Route VastAI mock provisioning through image-backed local Docker workers and preserve pinned child and controller routes across directory updates.
Add TOML job-file submission to the Fleet UI with generic started, running, and completed feedback, reusable remote job controller routing, cancellation and kill invariants, Tinygrad fixture and image support, and comprehensive Rust, Python, CUDA, and lifecycle-ordering coverage.
Architecture enforcement:
- Install a repository-owned rustc wrapper for ordinary cargo check,
build, and test commands. Resolve compiler item identities so renamed
imports and helper wrappers cannot hide spawning, timing, blocking,
polling, thread, or runtime-driving capabilities.
- Define the execution-owner crates and reject dependencies from those
substrates back into Myelin policy. Add compile-pass and compile-fail
contracts for actor helpers, execution owners, test waits, forbidden
capabilities, suppression attempts, and owner dependency inversions.
Execution ownership:
- Add engine-owned actor timers with cancellation and generation identity,
then migrate lifecycle deadlines and protocol ticks off application
tasks. Keep networking, process output, telemetry, and blocking provider
calls in their approved I/O substrates.
- Move process spawn, wait, signal, Unix listener, and output-following
mechanics into swactor-process. Isolate Vast.ai blocking HTTP mechanics
behind its adapter while actors retain retry, recovery, and provisioning
decisions.
Myelin control flow:
- Rework manual control, worker lifecycle, provisioning, provider recovery,
job deployment, distribution, edge orchestration, and shutdown as actor
state transitions and typed effects. Preserve durable provider adoption
and command outcomes across graceful and abrupt restarts.
- Replace controller loops and timer-forwarding tasks with actor messages;
leave substrate tasks as cancellable observation streams with no durable
policy state.
Properties and resource ownership:
- Add deterministic engine and component properties, a stateful mock-VastAI
lifecycle model, persisted regression cases, controlled fault injection,
and a bounded nightly workflow covering restart and teardown behavior.
- Terminate reply observers, cancel telemetry collectors, bound dashboard
projections, and release child observers, file descriptors, process
records, and inode-verified Unix sockets on every terminal path.
Verified with the compiler-policy contracts, 105 Myelin library tests, 32
swactor-process tests, telemetry cancellation contracts, randomized
stateful restart cases, cargo check, and formatting checks.
Add actor-backed manual node provisioning, control-plane endpoints, and fleet UI assets with durable provider lifecycle handling.
Simplify Myelin orchestration, node runtime, staging, and telemetry paths while removing obsolete engine-builder, dashboard-view, and local-mock implementations.
Align runtime delivery, data-plane, distribution, job-runner, process, telemetry, dashboard, Vast.ai integrations, and their tests with the revised actor and transport contracts.
Replace the single-purpose chat runtime with a persistent fleet daemon that provisions, adopts, and controls nodes through the dashboard.
Add distributed job-runner actors and provider-backed deployment so jobs can materialize workspaces, execute remotely, and return outputs over iroh.
