Rate-limit actor census and activity telemetry while preserving immediate lifecycle transitions. Route managed-process output into Fleet node tails, bound explorer retention, aggregate SWIM probes, and make sampler health transition-based. Restore stable explorer synchronization and refine Fleet bulk controls.
Deny workspace warnings and lint suppressions, consolidate Rust and Python coverage under cargo xtask test with 60-second per-test limits, and remove stale flaky, stateful, Docker, and orphaned test artifacts.
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.
Define the spawn-time handoff a job process consumes before any
application code runs: two inherited descriptors named by
SWACTOR_ARENA_FD and SWACTOR_WAKE_FD, and a fixed 48-byte little-endian
header at arena offset 0 naming one control-ring region.
- Canonical header layout, shared parser, and a host writer that leases
the header region and control ring disjointly under the arena's own
placement law, zeroes the ring, stamps its generation, and returns the
handoff (env map, inheritable arena and wake descriptors, host wake
eventfd) only after every write completes.
- Python binding gains swactor.run(main): map the arena read-only, take
ground truth from fstat, validate through the shared parser, arm
FD_CLOEXEC on the wake descriptor, close the arena descriptor after
mapping, and drive main on asyncio with Context.data carrying the
resolved state. Fail-fast BootstrapError before main on any defect.
- Rewrite jobs/tiny_linear_inference.py against the approved path API and
record the slice, invariants, and remaining bridge work in the handoff
doc.
Verified with 12 new data-plane bootstrap guarantee tests (parser defect
table, fuzzed pages, writer round-trip), 29 binding tests across
in-process and exec boundaries, and full data-plane and iroh-driver
suites with no regressions.
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.
`cargo xtask provisioning-reconciler-demo [--port n] [--nodes n]` boots a
lightweight orchestrator for visual, human-checked E2E confirmation of the
provisioning reconciler: swactor engine + real ClusterDriver + demo
provider, with node children re-exec'ing the same xtask binary in node
role and joining the supervisor over real iroh connections.
- supervisor actor owns driver/provider/shape on a 250ms wall-clock tick,
mirroring the production ClusterReconciler poll semantics; emits
prov.reconciler.events/snapshot plus per-node lifecycle/status streams
- k8s-styled reconciler view: ready/desired header, node stage cards,
commands-out and events-in feeds
- dashboard `demo-control` feature: POST /control/{kill,provision,remove}
+ Fleet Control view; regular builds compile none of it (symbol-verified)
- fleet cards fold proc.<node>.lifecycle and node.status heartbeats into
per-node pid/state pills that stay live
- hardening: exe resolution survives binary replacement by rebuilds,
spawn failures feed back as BootstrapFailed so the reconciler retries
instead of wedging at SshReady, teardown skips exit waits for
never-started children
Verified in-browser: boot 3/3 converged with real joins; dashboard kill
dips and fully recovers with a replacement; provision +1 → 4/4; remove −2
graceful teardown → 2/2; child process count matches reconciler nodes.
The crate is the per-node metrics/logging pipe with a universal
subscriber endpoint, but "datastream" kept getting misread as a general
messaging plane. Rename crate, module paths, and public API
(`DatastreamEndpoint` → `TelemetryEndpoint`, etc.) so misuse is visible
on sight.
Renamed contracts (all in-repo producers/consumers migrated):
- env vars `MYELIN_DATASTREAM_*` → `MYELIN_TELEMETRY_*`
- artifact `datastream.ndjson` → `telemetry.ndjson`
- actor names `telemetry-publisher` / `telemetry-sink`
- wire ALPN `swactor/telemetry/0`
- `DATASTREAM_SPEC.md` → `TELEMETRY_SPEC.md`
Also fixes two latent test breaks: `process` and `iroh-driver` tests
imported `DatastreamEvent` from the crate root, which was never
re-exported; they now use the observer path `telemetry::frame::`.
Introduce a pure, level-triggered reconciler in `crates/provisioning`
that drives a declared cluster shape toward convergence over the
existing node lifecycle, replacing the edge-triggered imperative node
orchestration in `apps/myelin`.
- `reconcile`/`reconcile_node`/`observe`: pure decider and observation
folder with stable logical-node identity, per-attempt operation
identity, and deterministic retry backoff; `ClusterDriver` is the sole
writer of observed state, coalescing triggers, recording operations as
pending before dispatch, and scheduling timed requeues.
- `IdempotentEffectExecutor`: deduplicates submissions by
`(run_id, logical_node_id, attempt)` and runs provider work on the
engine-hosted blocking substrate, never blocking a reconcile pass.
- Myelin integration: `MyelinEffectBackend` bridges `ProvisionPlugin` to
the executor contract; `LocalProcessPlugin`/`LocalDockerPlugin`
provider adapters; `ProvisionedClusterGuard` pumps triggers,
observations, and due operations.
- Retire the imperative acquire/bootstrap/teardown sequencing across
`apps/myelin` orchestration, staging, observability, and provider
adapters in favor of the declarative driver.
- Move the reconciler specification to `docs/specs/archive`.

Introduce the swactor engine: a swactor-owned composite that retains a
selected execution substrate, drives the core runtime, and hosts the
async/blocking/timer work that backs actors. Integrations receive one
cloneable EngineHandle and never construct or borrow a raw Tokio
runtime/handle.
Engine crate (crates/engine):
- The contract: spawn / spawn_blocking / timer / interval / now, a
per-implementation capability model with construction-time binding
(require()), and engine-owned time. The engine owns all progression;
actor handlers stay synchronous and never .await.
- TokioBackend owns the Tokio runtime and schedules core ticks and
supporting futures on it; SteppingBackend is a single-threaded
deterministic scheduler with virtual time (the non-Tokio portability
proof). Core is driven through its existing tick() surface; a
self-rescheduling CoreDriver is installed at construction and is the
sole place permitted to call try_tick.
iroh-driver:
- Receives an EngineHandle instead of a raw Tokio Handle. Accepts,
reads, dials, writes, endpoint construction, and teardown schedule
through it; required capabilities (tasks/timers/io) are validated
before the endpoint binds. Engine-hosted interval pumps drive
actor-bridge, datastream, and edge ingress.
myelin:
- One node/orchestrator engine owns core, protocol tick injection, and
transport progression; the application loop only drains
integration-owned queues. Stage-shard process readers, delayed actor
messages, helper stdout/stderr, prompt RPC, and CPU sampling all
schedule through the engine (spawn_blocking / engine tasks / timers).
- Removed the split-engine APIs: install_actor_bridge_pump(period) and
spawn_protocol_ticker(period) use each component's stored engine;
deleted the no-op pump_network callback and its plumbing; deleted the
dashboard raw-Tokio/standalone-runtime conveniences.
Enforcement:
- A clippy disallowed-methods boundary forbids direct runtime/scheduling/
time/core-driving bypasses, denied in swactor-engine, iroh-driver, and
myelin. Retained excluded uses (VastAI provider, provider process
supervision/log capture, OS-signal/stdin/process-control sequencing)
carry narrow allowances with reasons.
Verification:
- Engine contract + unit tests (incl. the SteppingBackend portability
proof), iroh integration tests (capability rejection before binding,
multi-node actor behavior), and a production execution-composition
smoke test that observes engine-driven actor progress with no ambient
Tokio runtime and no manual tick/pump. Workspace all-target/all-feature
clippy and tests are green.
Specs co-located with their crates: ENGINE_SPEC.md in crates/engine,
IROH_DRIVER_SPEC.md in crates/iroh-driver. VastAI remains explicitly out
of scope pending its separate redesign.
Promote the `mvp-system` workspace library crate to a standalone application at `apps/myelin`, rebranding the MVP system along with its binaries, node image, and spec.

Promote the data-plane into its own crate with a swactor-facing DataPlaneNodeActor that owns wire-edge lifecycle, and move the edge/ring/egress/ingress machinery out of mvp-system into crates/data-plane.
- data-plane/src/actor.rs: add the 769-line DataPlaneNodeActor implementing ActorInterface, owning WireEdgeEndpoint provisioning and the EdgeEstablisher lifecycle and draining commands to arena/worker/transport actors (DataPlaneArenaMsg/WorkerMsg/TransportMsg) with DataPlaneReportMsg back to a report sink
- data-plane/src/lib.rs: expand the crate surface to expose actor, arena, edge_actor, edge_lifecycle, egress, and ingress alongside object_record/ring, and reframe it as actor-oriented wire-edge / ring / arena / object-movement contracts
- data-plane: move edge_actor and edge_lifecycle (from node/), egress (from worker/), and ingress (from node_data/) into the crate, and add ArenaSample (serde Record, ARENA_SAMPLE_CHANNEL/INTERVAL) to arena.rs
- data-plane: add DATA_PLANE_ACTOR_SPEC.md and the data_plane_actor_guarantees/edge_lifecycle_guarantees/egress_guarantees tests

Distribute only each stage's GGUF layer slice over HTTP, add sampler and weight-load health telemetry, and harden node-image build, orchestrator provisioning, and the VastAI lease/search path.
- gguf_shard (new): StageShardPlan and plan_stage_shard parse the GGUF directory and compute coalesced per-stage tensor byte ranges; materialize_stage_shard_http fetches only those ranges (plus the header) to build a stage-local GGUF, with planned_fetch_bytes accounting.
- orchestrator_app: build a BTreeMap<u32, StageShardPlan> from the run plan for HuggingFace sources, thread stage_shard_plan through StageProvisionWire and weight-load, emit stage_shard_plan summaries, and add liveness phases (prefetching/fetching_stage_shard, cache_ready, stage_shard_ready).
- worker_node: add a stage-shard-fetcher subcommand and materialize_stage_shard_with_process that spawns the fetcher, streams its stdout/stderr as stage_shard_fetch events (StageShardCacheReady/StageShardReady), caches under MVP_MODEL_CACHE_DIR, and feeds the local shard path into load_weights.
- worker_node: add NODE_SAMPLER_CHANNEL and SamplerHealth telemetry (gpu/cpu/net samplers emit started/waiting/ready/failed) plus structured helper stdout/stderr streaming (wait_for_helper_event/drain_worker_stderr).
- node_image: expand node-image build/push handling for the deploy path.
- tools/vastai: extend lease, search, and types and drop unused pricing code.

Turn mvp-chat-check into a benchmarking harness with per-stage latency capture, a run envelope, summary artifacts, and a mvp-chat-compare command for delta analysis.
- xtask: add mvp-chat-compare <baseline> <candidate> that checks comparability (schema/scenario/workload/model/provider/pipeline_stages) and prints deltas for total, prepare, standup-to-RPC, and per-prompt roundtrip/first-token/decode/text-decode ms.
- xtask: build_benchmark_summary now writes stdout/stderr/prompts/redacted-config/summary artifacts with per-artifact byte counts and a vastai summary section; rename the dump log to datastream.ndjson.
- xtask: add write_failure_artifacts so failed checks still emit a failure summary with the prompt-corpus blake3 and artifact sizes.

Replace the driver/session/action/event abstraction with a single OS-process supervisor thread and a minimal lifecycle-only public API.
- supervisor: add a dedicated swactor-process-supervisor thread that owns the child, runs it with null stdio, wakes via an eventfd plus poll(2), reaps with waitpid(WNOHANG), and escalates SIGTERM to SIGKILL after a deadline, reporting only lifecycle ThreadEvents over a SegQueue plus wake channel
- actor: collapse ProcessActor<D> into a non-generic state machine (Spawning/Running/Stopping/Done) that owns the supervisor handle, drains events on SupervisorWake, forwards lifecycle as ProcessOutput, and triggers shutdown_now in on_stop
- lifecycle: add ProcessOutputConfig (Disabled/DatastreamMirror) with a JSON proc.<label>.lifecycle mirror (schema swactor_process.lifecycle.v1), command-basename label derivation/sanitization, and an RAII reservation registry preventing duplicate channels
- message/types/spawn/lib: trim the API — ProcessCommand is now only Stop { kill_after }, ProcessOutput covers Started/SpawnFailed/Exited/Error, ProcessSpec keeps command/args/env/working_dir/label; re-export spawn_local_process/send_process_command and drop the custom-driver spawn_process
- removed: delete the action/event/local/mock/session modules and the ProcessDriver/ProcessWaker/EventQueue/PtySize/ProcessMode types plus the old test suite (actor_scenarios, e2e_process, local_driver, proptest_session, session_scenarios); add public_api_stage1/2 tests and the SWACTOR_MANAGED_PROCESS_SPEC.md

Trim the datastream crate to its dumb-pipe core: drop the frame-timing sidecar, make mux positions gap-free for accepted frames, and simplify the endpoint fanout.
- mux: defer position assignment from submit to drain so an overflowed submission no longer consumes a position (no synthetic gaps); submit now returns bool and the Mutex<Receiver> is removed since positions are assigned only to accepted frames
- endpoint/mux: switch from std::sync::mpsc to crossbeam-channel and drop per-event event_matches_request filtering — request filters now apply only to the initial catalog snapshot, and future events broadcast to all subscribers
- endpoint (DeliveryFanout): snapshot sender handles under the lock and deliver outside it via FanoutTarget/FanoutReport, so large batches or slow subscribers no longer block subscribe/snapshot control-plane ops
- emit/endpoint/producer: drop set_frame_timing_enabled/frame_timing_enabled and the Position return from submit_record/submit_text/submit_bytes, and add submit_text_owned taking owned String
- timing/lib/spec: delete the timing module and FRAME_TIME_CHANNEL/FRAME_TIME_CHANNEL_ID/FrameTimeSample re-exports (including the auto-registered timing channel in ChannelCatalogState) and renumber the DATASTREAM_SPEC.md section references across frame/ingest/store/mux
- tests: remove the 567-line shared datastream_support/mod.rs harness
