Summary

  • Detach Prism harness on the Lium pod (setsid + harness.log/harness.pid) so a control-plane restart does not SIGHUP training/eval.
  • Boot/periodic orphan reconcile is resume-first: alive pods with a restorable BYOK seal are requeued with pod_id kept (no terminate); orchestrator reattaches via resume_eval and continues to score.
  • Fail-closed (control_plane_restart / harness_detached) only when the pod is dead or unreattachable (expired seal + no operator fallback).
  • Operator + miner docs updated; pre-measure review/similarity checkpointed for durable resume.

Test plan

  • cargo test -p prism-lium -p prism-lium-harness -p prism-orphan -p prism-challenge --lib --tests
  • Resume path unit test: alive pod → requeue, terminate_attempts == 0
  • Dead-pod fail path unit test still marks control_plane_restart
  • xtask loc-cap + external-docs-check
  • Staging: bounce prism-challenge while a GPU job is mid-flight; confirm pod stays up and submission completes
  • Prod promote only when GPU-safe (or after confirming no mid-flight pods / seals present)

Residual gaps

  • Expired BYOK seal ⇒ cannot call Lium API ⇒ fail-orphan (miner must stop pod + resubmit).
  • Jobs started before this deploy still use the old SSH-streaming harness and may die on SSH drop; only new detached launches are resumable.
  • Public miner repo (BaseIntelligence/prism) should mirror docs/external-miner/prism.md + troubleshoot row when convenient.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Evaluations now continue after control-plane or SSH interruptions when the active pod remains available.
    • Detached evaluation monitoring supports progress tracking, asset readiness, completion, failures, and metric collection.
    • Active work can be resumed without unnecessarily terminating healthy pods.
    • Submission logs and harness status are available for recovery and troubleshooting.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Unrecoverable evaluations now fail safely with cleanup and clearer terminal handling.
    • Improved protection against ongoing charges from abandoned pods.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance for recovery, redeployment, billing safeguards, and troubleshooting.

Detach harness under setsid so GPU work survives master bounce; boot reconcile
reattaches when the pod is alive and the BYOK seal is present, failing closed
only when unreattachable.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR replaces streaming evaluation with detached harness execution, adds harness probing and resumption, changes orphan reconciliation to resume live pods, centralizes terminal handling, and updates orchestration documentation and tests.

Changes

Detached evaluation recovery

Layer / File(s)Summary
Detached harness runtime
crates/prism-lium-harness/*
The harness launches main.py independently of SSH, records state, probes progress, classifies logs, validates metrics, and supports reattachment.
Lium client resume flow
crates/prism-lium/src/client.rs, crates/prism-lium/src/lib.rs, crates/prism-lium/src/sim.rs, crates/prism-lium/src/ssh.rs
The client launches and polls detached evaluations, resumes attachable harnesses, validates terminal results, and removes the streaming SSH API.
Orphan reconciliation and finalization
crates/prism-orphan/*, crates/prism-pipeline/*
Live mid-pod rows are requeued with their pod IDs. Unreattachable rows fail closed. Shared helpers handle rejection, cleanup, termination, receipts, and payer removal.
Orchestrator screening and measurement
crates/prism-challenge/src/orchestrator.rs, crates/prism-challenge/tests/e2e_v3_wiring.rs, docs/*
The orchestrator reuses screening results, resumes measurements, delegates terminal paths, and documents detached harness recovery and operational handling.

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

Mergeability Score:🟠 High · up to 2ac5e

This PR changes restart handling to resume live jobs, but current behavior can terminate healthy jobs after transient API errors, assign incorrect scores when resuming, or crash while processing non-ASCII logs. It is not merge-ready until these correctness and availability risks are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Make the dead-harness branch explicit instead of using parse_metrics_output for its error.

let _ = parse_metrics_output(&log, 1, &log)?; is used only to propagate the parse error. If the parse succeeded, the code would discard a valid terminal result and still return an error. classify_log already parsed the same log in this iteration, so the success path is unreachable today, but the construct is fragile against future changes to classify_log.

♻️ Proposed refactor

if !probe.pid_alive && probe.has_log && !probe.terminal {
// Process died without terminal markers.

Add a unit test for the dead-harness classification path.

The tests cover probe parsing, NeedsAssets, Done, and cap handling. They do not cover the state that the recovery feature depends on: a probe that reports alive=0 done=0 log=1. That combination drives the failure branch in crates/prism-lium/src/client.rs (lines 552-560).

A small test on parse_harness_probe plus attachable() for that flag set would pin the contract that the client relies on.

Consider bounding repeated resume attempts.

try_resume requeues the row without touching retry_count. While the Lium pod stays alive, each periodic reconcile can requeue the same row again after the worker exits without a terminal state. The pod keeps billing during that time. A counter or a resume-attempt event check would make the loop bounded and observable.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Persist the pre-measure checkpoint when a mid-pod row re-screens.

The guard on Line 645 uses mid_pod_resume(row), not the source of the verdicts. A mid-pod row that lacks stored similarity or review (a row created before this change, or a row whose checkpoint write failed) falls through to pre_pod_screens on Line 644, and then skips the checkpoint write. The next control-plane restart re-runs the copy gate, the similarity call, and the LLM review for that row again, and spends OpenRouter budget again.

Key the checkpoint write on whether the verdicts were reused instead.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

truncate can panic on multi-byte log tails.

s[s.len().saturating_sub(max)..] slices by byte offset. Harness logs contain arbitrary miner output, so the offset can land inside a multi-byte UTF-8 sequence and String slicing panics. This function runs on every terminal parse and every classify_log failure path, so a single non-ASCII character near the cut point aborts the poll task.

truncate_tail in crates/prism-lium/src/ssh.rs (lines 345-354) already advances to a char boundary. Apply the same guard here.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The poll loop performs a pod API call plus two SSH sessions every 20 seconds.

harvest_logs_inner calls resolve_ssh_target, which issues GET /pods/{instance_id}, and then opens its own SSH session. The probe opens a second SSH session. For a train cap of several hours this is thousands of Lium API calls and SSH connections per submission, and the cost scales with concurrent submissions. Lium rate limiting already required the RentPool and 429 backoff in this file, so added API pressure raises the risk of 429 storms.

target and key are already available in this function. Reuse them for the log tail and merge the probe and tail into one SSH command.

♻️ Proposed refactor: one SSH round trip, no pod API call per iteration
- let probe_out = ssh_exec_allow_fail(target, key, HARNESS_PROBE_CMD, 1, rty, 45).await?;- let probe = parse_harness_probe(&probe_out.stdout);+ let cmd = format!(+ "{HARNESS_PROBE_CMD}\ntail -c {HARNESS_LOG_RETAIN_BYTES} /tmp/prism_eval/harness.log 2>/dev/null || true"+ );+ let out = ssh_exec_allow_fail(target, key, &cmd, 1, rty, 45).await?;+ let probe = parse_harness_probe(&out.stdout);

Consider also increasing period for long runs, for example a 20 second period for the first few minutes and 60 seconds afterwards.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Transient API failures report a live pod as not running, which terminates recoverable jobs.

instance_running_live maps every LiumError::Api to Ok(false). request returns LiumError::Api for any non-success status, including 429 after the retry budget and 5xx. The consumer in crates/prism-orphan/src/reconcile.rs (lines 164-168) treats false as "pod gone": try_resume returns Ok(false), the reconciler then calls terminate, and fail_orphan marks the submission failed. A single 429 during boot reconciliation therefore destroys a running pod and its in-flight measurement.

Only 404-style "not found" answers should mean "not running". Propagate other API errors so the reconciler logs the probe failure and leaves the row alone.

🐛 Proposed fix
 async fn instance_running_live(&self, instance_id: &str) -> Result<bool, LiumError> {
match self.status(instance_id).await {
Ok(inst) => {
let st = inst.status.to_ascii_uppercase();
Ok(RUNNING_STATUSES.iter().any(|s| st == *s))
}
- Err(LiumError::Api(_)) => Ok(false),+ // Only an explicit "absent" answer means the pod is gone; 429/5xx+ // must not be read as termination (the caller stops the pod).+ Err(LiumError::Api(msg)) if msg.contains("404") => Ok(false),

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

resume_eval returns a bpb that is unrelated to the submission.

exec_eval derives the deterministic bpb from sha256(architecture_py || training_py || tree_blob). resume_eval passes the literals "resume" and "resume", so every resumed submission receives the same constant bpb, independent of the miner source. Local and staging sim E2E runs of the resume path then score submissions with a value that does not correspond to their code, and two different miners resume to identical scores.

Record the inputs at exec_eval time and replay them on resume.

🐛 Proposed fix: replay the recorded submission inputs

Add a per-pod input record next to pods:

// struct SimLiumBackend
last_inputs:Mutex<HashMap<String,(String,String,Option<Vec<u8>>)>>,

Store it in exec_eval (change _instance_id to instance_id):

ifletOk(mut m) = self.last_inputs.lock(){
m.insert(
instance_id.to_owned(),(architecture_py.to_owned(), training_py.to_owned(), tree_blob.map(<[u8]>::to_vec)),);}

Then replay it:

 async fn resume_eval(&self, instance_id: &str) -> Result<RemoteExecResult, LiumError> {
if !self.instance_running(instance_id).await? {
return Err(LiumError::Exec(format!(
"{}: sim pod gone",
crate::HARNESS_ABSENT
)));
}
- // Sim has no detached log; treat resume as a fresh deterministic eval.- self.exec_eval(instance_id, "resume", "resume", None).await+ // Sim has no detached log; replay the recorded inputs so the resumed+ // bpb matches the submission under test.+ let recorded = self+ .last_inputs+ .lock()+ .map_err(|_| LiumError::Api("sim lock poisoned".into()))?+ .get(instance_id)+ .cloned();+ let Some((arch, train, tree)) = recorded else {+ return Err(LiumError::Exec(format!(+ "{}: sim pod has no recorded harness inputs",+ crate::HARNESS_ABSENT+ )));+ };+ self.exec_eval(instance_id, &arch, &train, tree.as_deref())+ .await
}

The HARNESS_ABSENT fallback in crates/prism-challenge/src/orchestrator.rs (lines 725-731) then re-runs exec_eval with the real submission when no record exists, which keeps the sim path faithful to the live path.

As per coding guidelines: "Challenge verification must simulate an end-to-end submission, including happy-path intake, failure probes, challenge-specific validation, leaf emission, raw weight submission, sealing, and confirmation of sealed: true; process health checks alone are insufficient."

Persist missing pre-measure checkpoints before reattaching.

mid_pod_resume returns true when pod_id is set, even if review or similarity is missing. In crates/prism-challenge/src/orchestrator.rs, Lines 634-664, that state reruns pre_pod_screens but skips persistence because !mid_pod_resume(row) is false. The row can repeat screening after every restart without receiving durable checkpoints.

Persist fresh screening results whenever either checkpoint is missing, or tighten this predicate so it returns true only after both checkpoints exist. Add a regression test for a pod row with missing review and similarity.

The supplied orchestrator context confirms this cross-file behavior.

Record the pending staging validation for the resume path.

The row keeps the status done, which the legend defines as "Implemented, tested, wired into a running binary." The PR states that staging validation and production promotion are still pending, and that jobs launched before this deployment stay non-resumable over SSH disconnects. Add that caveat to this row or to the "Known gaps" table so the matrix stays honest.

As per coding guidelines: "Treat normative documentation—including architecture files, frozen specifications, threat and operator-security documents, completeness status, runbooks, and external-miner/—as the source of truth for contracts, operations, and status."
