Background

The wheel Quick Start required users to derive an installation-specific runtime directory and pass --runtime-root. The CLI should locate its installed product and reject native libraries from another build. Isolated family qualification must load that same product consistently.

Exit Criteria

  • The wheel Quick Start runs without an explicit runtime root.
  • CLI, Core, Runtime, backend, family, and optional BYOK libraries belong to one exact product build.
  • Discovery checks the active Runtime directory, then TRTMC_RUNTIME_PATH, and stops after a selected-root failure.
  • --runtime-root DIR remains an exact override; the public C++ loader remains explicit-root-only.
  • Isolated qualification stages a complete product, and the current head passes TRTMC Internal CI / Automated premerge gate.

Implementation

  • Package wheel-native artifacts under tensorrt_model_connect/bin; a thin Python entry point replaces itself with the co-located CLI.
  • Validate root-local regular files and exact build identities before crossing native interfaces or invoking factories. Remove executable-prefix, Python-layout, working-directory, and PATH scanning.
  • Keep the generic C++ loader explicit-root-only. CLI, C API, and text server select default runtime roots at application boundaries; the server retains main's run_bundle_worker route.
  • Export versioned descriptors from all 130 family-owned runtime plugin entry points, including the newly merged depth_anything and yolos families.
  • Copy Core, Runtime, backend, the selected family, and any family CLI adapter into isolated E2E roots. Keep the production loader rejection of external symlinks.
  • Preserve main's family CLI support. Load CLI adapters with RTLD_NOW without requiring a Runtime factory descriptor; retain exact descriptor checks for backend, family, and BYOK plugins. Regressions retain unresolved-symbol rejection for both family and CLI libraries.
  • Start OpenFold3's separate qualification executable with the selected Core companion Runtime first in its child library path. Compiled regressions exercise conflicting loader paths and copied/symlinked staging.
  • Update package validation, architecture and loader/CLI regressions, extension guidance, and documentation for the product-root contract.

  • git diff --check github/main...HEAD: passed. Main is an ancestor of this head; all 20 commits retain author-matching DCO sign-offs.

Hardware, Environment, and Revisions

  • Rebased base: 0fec6d039722a61c67616003b73c3eba52975635.
  • Source/Python validation: Ubuntu x86_64, Python 3.12, CPU-only.
  • Native validation: existing trtmc-community-cpu:local image, CUDA compiler 13.3.73, GNU C++ 13.3, Release build; no GPU devices were exposed.
  • No production model checkpoints or qualification datasets were used. These tests establish source contracts, compilation, and selected CPU behavior, not inference parity or performance.

Not Run / Remaining Gaps

  • Current-head Community CPU CI, Stable Community CI coordinator, and Dev Community CI were initiated by the push and remain in progress. Previous-head CI results are not evidence for this head.
  • Internal premerge has not yet been triggered for this head; Community CPU / Required must first pass on the exact current head.
  • A complete wheel build/install, the full native test suite, optional BYOK execution, production-checkpoint inference, numerical parity, and performance remain for CI/hardware validation.

Contributor Self-Review

  • I have completed a self-review of this change.

Notes For Future Readers

  • Review build identity, loader, CLI, and packaging first, then isolated staging and OpenFold3 qualification. Rebuild all native artifacts together; mixed Runtime builds fail closed.
  • OpenFold3 needs its companion-Runtime selection because this PR introduces exact product-build checks.
  • LD_LIBRARY_PATH acts before main; TRTMC_RUNTIME_PATH is the post-startup discovery list. Explicit --runtime-root remains available.
  • Keep future family descriptor declarations beside the owning runtime plugin entry point; new checkpoint manifests within an existing family reuse its descriptor. Family CLI adapters use their separate C entry point, not the Runtime factory ABI.

Risk level

  • Low
  • Medium
  • High

Runtime selection affects every execution command. Exact build checks, explicit overrides, complete staging, and compiled loader regressions constrain the risk; successful current-head premerge qualification is required before merge.

📝 Summary

Summary

Adds automatic runtime-root discovery and wheel-native packaging.

  • Discovers the active Runtime directory, then TRTMC_RUNTIME_PATH.
  • Keeps --runtime-root DIR as an exact override.
  • Packages native artifacts under tensorrt_model_connect/bin.
  • Enforces one exact product-build identity across native components.
  • Adds plugin descriptors, root-local DSO validation, BYOK loading, and mismatch tests.
  • Registers family plugins through the V1 descriptor interface.
  • Updates CI, isolated E2E staging, OpenFold3 qualification, regressions, and documentation.

Architecture impact

  • Family-owned files: Family plugins publish V1 descriptors. BART changes local buffer management. OpenFold3 adds qualification fixtures and tests.
  • Shared surfaces: Runtime Loader APIs, plugin ABI, CLI discovery, CMake metadata, wheel packaging, CI validation, and documentation.
  • Dependency directions: The CLI selects one runtime root. The Runtime Loader validates and loads native components from that root. Plugins depend on the shared descriptor ABI. The Python entry point launches the co-located native executable.
  • Affected consumers: Execution commands, native C++ consumers, wheel users, BYOK paths, plugin authors, CI workflows, and OpenFold3 qualification.
  • Unresolved blast radius: Full wheel integration, optional BYOK, production-checkpoint inference, numerical parity, performance testing, GPU qualification, Community CPU CI, and internal premerge validation remain outstanding.

Review status

HUMAN REVIEW REQUIRED

No current review findings or severity counts were supplied. Reported source-quality, selected architecture, loader, and integration tests passed. The available evidence does not resolve all shared-consumer and hardware-validation questions.

Walkthrough

The change adds generated product-build identities and version-one plugin descriptors. The Runtime Loader validates explicit runtime roots and plugin metadata. The CLI discovers compatible roots when no root is specified. Packaging, tests, server behavior, and documentation are updated to use these runtime selection and validation rules.

Changes

Runtime plugin discovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build identity and plugin registration
CMakeLists.txt, cmake/product_build.h.in, core/runtime/include/..., core/runtime/*, families/*/runtime/plugin.cpp
CMake generates a 32-character lowercase hexadecimal build identity. Core, backend, runtime-extension, family, and fixture libraries publish version-one descriptors with build metadata. Family runtime sources and test fixtures add family descriptors.
Runtime Loader validation
core/runtime/loader/family_loader.cpp, core/runtime/include/trtmc/runtime/*, core/runtime/tests/*
The loader requires an explicit canonical runtime root. It checks root-local libraries, descriptor fields, and build identities before resolving plugin factories. Runtime-root checks include required bundle libraries and optional BYOK support.
CLI runtime selection and execution
apps/cli/*, apps/server/main.cpp, apps/cli/tests/test_cli.cpp, CMakeLists.txt
The CLI checks Runtime and Core build identities, then searches the loaded Runtime directory and TRTMC_RUNTIME_PATH when no explicit root is provided. The server uses the loaded Runtime directory when its runtime root is empty.
Packaging and qualification validation
tools/ci/*, tools/tests/*, core/builder/*, families/openfold3/tests/*, examples/*
Packaging validates native build identities and plugin descriptors. The wheel includes a native CLI adapter. Tests cover runtime isolation, CLI execution, and product-build selection during OpenFold3 qualification. Runtime fixture setup copies libraries into isolated layouts.
Runtime documentation and examples
README.md, website/docs/*
Documentation describes ordered runtime discovery, exact-root loading, descriptor validation, and product-build matching. Command examples no longer require an explicit runtime root.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 32e73

Installed-wheel validation can fail for every qualifying wheel, and plugins built from installed headers cannot carry the matching build identity. Resolve these issues before merging.

61-66: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Document the BYOK requirement for automatic discovery.

The completeness rule here lists only core, runtime, backend, and family libraries. Discovery applies a stricter rule when a BYOK option is used: the selected directory must also contain libtrtmc_byok_tvm_ffi.so. apps/cli/tests/test_cli.cpp asserts this at Lines 505-510. A user who passes --byok-library can hit a discovery failure that this page does not explain.

Add one sentence to the completeness paragraph.

📝 Proposed addition
 directories, and the CLI prints the automatically selected directory. If more
 than one installed wheel runtime matches, select one with `--runtime-root DIR`.
 An explicit root bypasses discovery.

Include the captured CLI output in the discovery failure.

The check captures stdout and stderr but discards them. When wheel discovery regresses, CI reports only a generic message. Add the observed exit code and stderr to the error, as load_native_libraries already does.

In `@apps/cli/cli.cpp`:
- Line 863: Update the candidate handling around append_candidate so the current
working directory is not searched by default for runtime DSOs. Only accept it
when it meets the required ownership and permission checks, or when the user
explicitly opts in via the existing runtime-root option; preserve normal
installed-location resolution.
- Around line 879-884: Update the loader’s public contract to expose required
runtime library filenames and validate BundleInfo::family and
BundleInfo::backend, then make load_task consume that API instead of
constructing names or duplicating validation in resolve_runtime_root. Remove the
duplicate runtime naming and ID-validation rules while preserving the existing
library-loading behavior.

In `@apps/cli/tests/test_cli.cpp`:
- Around line 457-463: Update the test fixtures used before the ordering
assertion so both TRTMC_RUNTIME_PATH entries, including first_optional, contain
the complete cohort with libtrtmc_core.so. Keep the candidates otherwise
distinct and assert resolve_runtime_root selects the expected first entry,
ensuring the test exercises directory ordering rather than rejecting an
incomplete candidate.

In `@CMakeLists.txt`:
- Around line 15-17: Update the TRTMC_BUILD_COHORT_ID generation block to
persist a newly generated ID in the CMake cache, while preserving any existing
cached value on later configures so the build tree retains one cohort identity.

In `@tools/ci/package.py`:
- Line 381: Update the runtime-discovery fixture setup to derive fixture_family
from sorted(expected)[0], pass it to BundleWriter, and compare the inspected
family against fixture_family. Remove the text_generation assertion; retain only
the check that discovery selects the packaged runtime.

According to the documentation for Binutils 2.35 and later, the behavior of this option depends on whether the linker is creating an executable or a shared library [2][3][4]. When creating a dynamically linked executable, symbols matching the specified glob pattern are added to the dynamic symbol table, making them visible to dynamic objects loaded at run time [2]. When creating a shared library, the option dictates that references to symbols matching the glob pattern will not be bound to definitions within the shared library itself [2]. This effectively forces those symbols to be resolved at run time (e.g., via the dynamic linker) rather than being bound at link time. This specific functionality is a no-op when creating a shared library unless either -Bsymbolic or --dynamic-list is also specified [2]. The option is only applicable to ELF-based platforms that support shared libraries [2].

site:sourceware.org/binutils/docs ld --defsym --export-dynamic-symbol shared library .dynstr

💡 Result:

The linker options --defsym and --export-dynamic-symbol serve distinct purposes in GNU ld. --defsym=symbol=expression This option creates a new global symbol in the output file at a specific address defined by the expression [1][2]. The expression can be a hexadecimal constant, the name of an existing symbol, or basic arithmetic (+/-) involving these [1][2]. It effectively defines a symbol as if it were present in the source code or a linker script [1][2]. --export-dynamic-symbol=glob This option controls which symbols are included in the dynamic symbol table (.dynsym) [1][3][4]. - When creating a dynamically linked executable, it adds symbols matching the specified glob pattern to the dynamic symbol table, making them visible to dynamic objects at runtime [1][3][4]. - When creating a shared library, it prevents references to symbols matching the glob pattern from being bound to definitions within the shared library itself [1][3][4]. This behavior is generally a no-op unless -Bsymbolic or --dynamic-list is also specified [1][3][4]. These options are independent. While --defsym can be used to inject a symbol definition, --export-dynamic-symbol (or --export-dynamic) is what determines whether that symbol—or any other—is exposed in the dynamic symbol table for runtime visibility [1][3][4]. Note that these options are specific to ELF-targeted ports of the linker [1][3][4].

Fix cohort marker export before adding a linker compatibility guard.

read_build_cohort reads only .dynstr. --defsym creates a global symbol, but --export-dynamic-symbol does not export that symbol from a shared library unless -Bsymbolic or --dynamic-list is also used. The loader can therefore receive an empty cohort ID. Older GNU ld versions also reject this option.

Use a marker mechanism that populates .dynstr, or change the reader to inspect the symbol table. Then require or detect the linker support. Do not conditionally omit the export flag without replacing the marker mechanism.

437-437: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Derive the fixture family from the packaged family set.

The fixture pins the family to gpt2. The wheel-discovery assertion at Lines 456-465 requires libtrtmc_model_gpt2.so in bin_dir. If gpt2 is renamed or removed, discovery throws before the CLI prints Using TRTMC runtime:, and the validator reports a runtime-discovery failure for an unrelated cause.

Use a family from expected, which is already computed at Line 378.

♻️ Proposed fix
-                    "writer.set_header(family='gpt2', task='text_generation', backend='trt'); "
+                    f"writer.set_header(family='{fixture_family}', task='text_generation', backend='trt'); "

Add near Line 428:

fixture_family = sorted(expected)[0]

Then compare the inspected metadata against fixture_family at Line 454.

runtime_root_contains_bundle validates safe IDs and required root-local DSOs. The Runtime Loader validates build identities when it loads the selected DSOs. The CLI owns candidate enumeration and rejects ambiguous wheel roots. Assign each check to the correct layer.

Install the configured product_build.h with the public runtime headers.

plugin_abi.h falls back to "unconfigured" when this header is absent. TRTMC_DEFINE_PLUGIN_DESCRIPTOR_V1 embeds that value in independently built plugins, and family_loader.cpp rejects descriptors whose build ID differs from the active configured build. Install ${_trtmc_generated_include_dir}/trtmc/runtime/product_build.h under ${CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR}/trtmc/runtime; the exported target already provides the correct install include path.

Avoid binding this shared CI test to the gpt2 family.

This test uses the real repository inventory and the specific family gpt2, including libtrtmc_model_gpt2.so at Line 425. If gpt2 is renamed or removed, this shared tooling test fails for a reason unrelated to _run fail-closed behavior. The other tests in this file use synthetic families, which keeps them model-agnostic.

Use a synthetic family repository, or derive the family from the inventory instead of naming one model.

Validate both output destinations before the first write.

If --output-json names the same path as --output, opening the metadata stream truncates the structure output. If the metadata parent does not exist, the command can fail after writing the structure output. Resolve both paths, reject identical destinations, and create both parent directories before opening either file.

Allow the dynamic KV-cache path to reach create().

Line 244 rejects every nonzero kv_cache_size_bytes. This prevents the dynamic-cache path in create() and runtime_cache_rows() from running. A bundle built with --dynamic-kv-cache still fails for every --kv-cache-size request.

Remove this wrapper check. Keep the compatibility validation in create().

Assert the CMake operation, not a source phrase.

This assertion passes if the phrase is renamed or removed while the fake-runtime DSO copy command remains. The test can then miss the regression it is intended to prevent. Assert against the actual CMake copy operation or a stable structured marker.

This is an automated Internal CI result; no review from an individual maintainer is requested.

TRTMC Protected CI result
=========================

Status: FAILED
Pull request: #1190
Head commit: 922143cf0edd748957d893a18c1f95b502887a56
Reason: Automated internal CI failed; details withheld

Protected failure details are not transferred to the public repository.

Open the public Source Actions run from the automated status link above.

Let execution commands resolve a complete runtime cohort from the current directory, the active CLI installation, or TRTMC_RUNTIME_PATH when --runtime-root is omitted.

Mark native artifacts with a configure-scoped cohort identity so discovery cannot combine core, runtime, backend, family, or BYOK DSOs from different builds. Keep explicit roots and the public loader contract unchanged.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
Format the runtime cohort predicate with clang-format 22.1.8, matching the version enforced by Community CPU source quality.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
Move DSO naming, safe-ID, and build-cohort validation behind a model-agnostic runtime-root contract. Keep the CLI responsible only for candidate enumeration and search order.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
Move plugin-root structure and load validation into the Runtime Loader. Replace discovery-time ELF inspection with exact build, kind, and ID descriptors while preserving one-product-build and no-fallback behavior.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
Co-locate the wheel's native CLI, Core, Runtime, and plugins, and replace the installed console command with a thin exec adapter.

Limit discovery to the active Runtime and TRTMC_RUNTIME_PATH, validate executable/Core/Runtime identity before crossing C++ interfaces, and keep selected-root loading exact and fail-closed.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
The family E2E harness staged TRTMC libraries as symlinks to the installed wheel, so root canonicalization correctly rejected every isolated runtime as escaping its selected directory.

Copy the selected Core, backend, and family DSOs into the temporary root while retaining symlinks only for third-party RUNPATH dependencies.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
Add plugin ABI descriptors to families merged after this branch diverged.

Keep shared package and E2E validation model-agnostic so future family additions do not require central CI edits.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
Include libtrtmc_runtime.so in isolated E2E roots so source-built qualification helpers cannot mix their Runtime with a wheel-provided Core.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
Preserve the existing positive operational invariants while reporting the exact field and value that violates them.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
Main added six families after the runtime-root descriptor migration. Export each family's descriptor from its own plugin entry point so the exact-build loader contract and architecture gate cover the merged product.

The existing architecture test reproduces all six missing descriptors before the change and passes afterward. No test criteria or family execution behavior changes.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
Load the selected OpenFold3 product companions, restore Wan shared input embeddings, and request PIL reference frames. Validate every Sana output frame after the official refiner removes its input anchor.

Cover the loader mismatch with compiled product fixtures and exercise real Wan checkpoint loading. Add plugin descriptors for the three families merged into main since the previous validation.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
Use the same Wan, Sana, and LFM2 adapters and regression controls as NVIDIA#1219 to remove duplicate variants and minimize overlapping edits. Keep its reporting assertions when combining the Sana reference test.

Remove the LeRobot diagnostic follow-up: its error-message test conflicts with the observation-based memory contract in NVIDIA#1219. Retain OpenFold3 product-loader selection and all strict runtime build checks.

API and control fixtures were built without the generated product identity, so exact-build validation rejected them as unconfigured. Publish the runtime-extension descriptor on the BYOK fixture and build each test plugin with the generated identity.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
Exact-build validation now checks every loaded family DSO, but the API and benchmark fixtures did not publish plugin descriptors. Identify each fixture with its bundle family ID and add a fast architecture regression for future test factories.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
The auto-discovery example checks modeled an installed runtime with symlinks back into the build tree, so exact-root validation correctly rejected the plugins as escaping the selected root. Copy the DSOs into the temporary layout to exercise a real single-root installation.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
Keep runtime DSO discovery at the application boundary while requiring the generic loader to receive one selected root. The text server now derives its omitted root from the active runtime library before loading a bundle.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
Remove the stale automatic-root fixture copy inherited from main. It made the active runtime directory structurally complete and prevented the CLI regression from exercising TRTMC_RUNTIME_PATH under the explicit-root loader contract.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
Main added depth_anything and yolos after the runtime-root descriptor migration. Publish their family-owned descriptors so the exact-build loader accepts both plugins without changing validation criteria.

Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
Main now packages family CLI adapters with a C ABI but no Runtime plugin descriptor. Keep RTLD_NOW loading for every installed DSO and apply exact descriptor validation only to Runtime plugins.

Restore the valid family fixture before injecting an unresolved CLI symbol, so both parameterized regressions exercise their intended failure.

Collaborator Author

Superseded by #1701. Since #1226, the wheel trtmc entry point passes its packaged runtime directory. #1701 makes the native CLI default existing bundle modes to the directory containing the loaded libtrtmc_runtime.so, which is the remaining part of this PR's goal. Product-build identity checks and runtime search paths are out of scope there and can be proposed separately if needed.
