Background

Community CPU and Community GPU run as independent pull-request workflows on
main. Both start from the same event, so GPU authorization usually checks for
CPU evidence before that evidence exists. The old GPU executor also contains
the trust-boundary, JSON parsing, incomplete-result, and cleanup defects covered
by #1255 and #1261, and its referenced test paths do not exist.

Exit Criteria

Implementation

  • Add one exact-merge Community CI graph: trusted snapshot, parallel public
    CPU jobs, Community CPU / Required, trusted GPU impact classification, then
    optional GPU provisioning and Community GPU / Required.
  • Retain community-cpu.yml temporarily as a rollout bridge. This lets the
    current default-branch Internal CI bridge authorize this migration PR. The
    updated bridge accepts either that legacy run after validating its exact merge
    parents, or the successful CPU aggregate inside the combined workflow without
    waiting for GPU.
  • Preserve the pull_request_target labeled trigger, maintainer/admin
    authorization, and one-shot consumption of run-internal-ci. Community CI
    does not automatically trigger protected CI.
  • Replace obsolete path-only/py-only GPU execution with
    tools.community_gpu_ci: validate selection, discover explicit family-owned
    premerge cases, stage resolved Hugging Face revisions, build the CLI,
    TensorRT backend and selected family libraries, and run the existing
    E2ERunner JUnit contract that rejects omissions, skips, duplicates, and
    failures. Newly added families join shared-change coverage.
  • Skip Brev allocation for docs/none impact while still publishing a
    terminal success status. Serialize GPU reservations repository-wide, pin and
    checksum the Brev CLI, and run deterministic cleanup from a separate
    always() job so provision-job timeouts do not strand an instance.
  • Use sudo docker build and sudo docker run on the freshly reserved Brev
    instance, carrying fix(ci): use sudo for docker on freshly reserved GPU instances #1264's live fix for delayed Docker group membership into
    the replacement workflow.
  • Exclude manual dispatches from the ready-PR Slack path and revalidate the base
    SHA during polling.
  • Install jq in the hardened CPU image because the embedded bridge behavior
    regression executes the same JSON-based shell contract as GitHub Actions.

  • /tmp/actionlint -shellcheck= -pyflakes= (actionlint 1.7.12): passed for all workflows.
  • git diff --check github/main...HEAD: passed.
  • The focused fix(ci): use sudo for docker on freshly reserved GPU instances #1264 carry-forward regression passed: 47 tests, including
    assertions that both remote Docker commands use sudo.
  • docker build --file Dockerfile.community-cpu --tag trtmc-community-cpu:local requirements: passed, image sha256:2fdc9fa1e005007d4e8dcabe57e628c604a46a5797c5a81ac1bc44f5c8323f0f.
  • In that hardened CPU image, the exact previously failing bridge behavior regression passed (4 passed). The complete CPU gate equivalent then passed: 698 Python tests, all 1198 native build steps, and 143/143 non-GPU CTest tests.
  • docker build --file Dockerfile.dev.x86-gpu --tag trtmc-community-gpu-validation requirements: passed, image sha256:b49d9f2653303500216ee6bc42952b8ea31a1cbfbb7471ae9b6076d20ab057cc.
  • In that GPU image, CMake Release configuration and
    cmake --build ... --target trtmc trtmc_backend_trt trtmc_model_gpt2
    passed without a GPU driver. The resulting CLI/core/backend/family paths
    were asserted and the runner selected gpt2-125m from its manifest.
  • The first rollout Community CPU run found that the hardened image lacked
    jq; GitHub hosted runners had masked that workflow-shell dependency. The
    image and its regression were corrected without changing acceptance criteria.
  • Current GitHub head 84d68f42c73e4fe5da32c2f4451acc27aed93e34:
    refreshed rollout checks are running. The old default-branch Community GPU
    authorize job is expected to fail before provisioning for this migration PR.

  • No Brev instance was created by this PR and no GPU inference was executed.

Not Run / Remaining Gaps

The combined pull_request_target workflow is new, so GitHub cannot execute its
branch definition before it exists on the default branch. Its schema, embedded
shell behavior, container builds, complete CPU contract, and representative GPU
native compilation were validated, but the external Brev lifecycle and real GPU
E2E path were not. #1264 supplies live evidence for the sudo requirement on
the old workflow, while the replacement path still needs its first live run.

One resource-policy conflict remains and is intentionally not hidden by weaker
criteria: shared changes currently select qwen3_8, whose only premerge case is
Qwen3.8-27B with FP16 build precision, FP32 reference precision, and tensor
parallel size 1. The model weights alone exceed a single 48 GB L40, which is the
instance this workflow requests. A maintainer must choose either a smaller
representative shared-change smoke family/case or a GPU class that can execute
the existing Qwen3.8 contract. Until then this PR remains draft.

Contributor Self-Review

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

The CPU-to-GPU dependency, exact-snapshot authorization, label bridge, untrusted
execution boundary, outcome matrix, timeout cleanup, docs/no-impact path, new
family discovery, Slack polling, fresh-instance Docker permissions, and rollout
compatibility path all have focused regressions. No model criterion, precision,
threshold, or expected result was changed to make CI pass.

Notes For Future Readers

Risk level

  • Low
  • Medium
  • High

This changes orchestration capable of allocating paid GPU resources. The trust
and cleanup boundaries are tested, but the first default-branch live run remains
operational evidence that cannot be produced from this PR branch.

📝 Summary

Summary

This PR replaces the separate Community CPU and Community GPU workflows with one ordered Community CI workflow.

The workflow validates exact revisions and synthetic merges. It runs CPU checks before GPU authorization. It classifies GPU impact from trusted base code. It reserves GPU capacity only after Community CPU / Required succeeds. It validates the exact merge commit with family-owned premerge cases and verified checkpoints.

The PR adds fail-closed status handling, deterministic Brev cleanup, repository-wide GPU reservation serialization, the sudo Docker fix, and apache-tvm-ffi==0.1.12 validation. It preserves the one-shot maintainer-authorized run-internal-ci flow and retains the legacy CPU workflow as a rollout bridge.

The PR also updates Slack alerts, contributor guidance, agent guidance, Docker dependencies, and regression coverage.

PASS: Automated validation passed, including 160 focused tests, Ruff, formatting, actionlint, diff checks, image builds, CPU tests, native builds, non-GPU CTest tests, and representative GPU compilation.

HUMAN REVIEW REQUIRED: Live Brev provisioning, GPU reservation contention, cleanup, and GPU inference were not executed. The selected qwen3_8 case exceeds the requested 48 GB L40 capacity.

Changed shared surfaces

  • Pull request triggers and required-check names.
  • Commit status publication.
  • GPU authorization, reservation, and cleanup.
  • Brev instance lifecycle.
  • Internal CI authorization.
  • Slack readiness alerts.
  • CPU and GPU Docker image dependencies.
  • Contributor and automation guidance.

New dependency directions

  • GPU execution depends on successful CPU validation and trusted impact classification.
  • GPU execution depends on family manifests, immutable checkpoint revisions, native artifacts, and the existing E2E JUnit contract.
  • GPU provisioning depends on the pinned and verified Brev CLI.
  • CPU images depend on jq.
  • GPU image validation depends on apache-tvm-ffi==0.1.12.
  • Internal CI depends on an exact matching successful Community CI CPU gate.
  • Slack alerts depend on workflow titles containing the PR number, head SHA, and base SHA.

Affected consumers

  • Pull requests consume the unified Community CPU / Required gate and later GPU results.
  • Maintainers consume the protected run-internal-ci label flow.
  • Slack consumers receive Community CI readiness alerts.
  • Internal CI consumes exact Community CI run metadata.
  • PR babysitter and review automation consume updated workflow names and evidence tiers.
  • GPU family owners consume the family-plan and premerge-case contract.

Unresolved blast-radius questions

  • The combined workflow lifecycle remains untested with live Brev provisioning.
  • GPU inference, reservation contention, and cleanup remain operational risks.
  • The rollout bridge needs validation after the new required job runs from main.
  • Family manifests, checkpoint availability, and selected tests may not cover all GPU consumers.
  • Commit status and Slack parsing remain sensitive to workflow title and revision formats.

HUMAN REVIEW REQUIRED: The changes affect authorization, credentials, GPU capacity, commit status publication, dependency installation, and cleanup. Automated validation does not establish operational safety.

Walkthrough

The PR replaces separate Community CPU and GPU workflows with one authorized Community CI workflow. It adds exact-revision CPU gating, trusted GPU classification, isolated GPU testing, status publication, cleanup, integration updates, documentation, tooling, and regression coverage.

Changes

Community CI consolidation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Authorization and CPU gate
.github/workflows/community-ci.yml, .github/workflows/community-cpu.yml, Dockerfile.community-cpu, Dockerfile
Community CI validates repository, pull request, commit, and dispatch context before running CPU checks. The legacy CPU workflow remains temporarily for rollout compatibility. Required image utilities are installed.
GPU classification and execution
.github/workflows/community-ci.yml, .github/workflows/community-gpu-ci.yml
Successful CPU checks trigger trusted GPU-impact classification, conditional L40 provisioning, selective smoke tests, status publication, log upload, and cleanup. The separate GPU workflow is removed.
GPU planning and E2E runner
tools/community_gpu_ci.py, tools/tests/test_community_gpu_ci.py, Dockerfile.dev.x86-gpu
The GPU runner validates family metadata, stages immutable checkpoints, builds the native runtime, and runs selected offline E2E cases. Tests cover selection, manifests, revisions, runtime artifacts, orchestration, and GPU image dependencies.
Workflow integrations and guidance
.github/workflows/internal-ci-bridge.yml, .github/workflows/community-activity-slack-alert.yml, CONTRIBUTING.md, plugins/trtmc-agent-skills/skills/*
The bridge and Slack alerts require exact Community CI revisions. Contributor and agent guidance describes the unified CPU and GPU stages.
Workflow regression coverage
tools/tests/test_community_ci.py, tools/tests/test_new_ci.py, tools/tests/test_architecture.py
Tests cover authorization, CPU-to-GPU sequencing, trusted-base analysis, status outcomes, cleanup, bridge triggering, alert formatting, image dependencies, and tool-file registration.

Align the workflow_dispatch title with the PR snapshot

The pull_request_target title matches both consumers. The workflow_dispatch path instead uses github.sha for both head and base. The bridge builds its title from the PR API values and only searches pull_request_target runs, so a manually dispatched Community CI run cannot satisfy the bridge. Slack accepts the title format but can skip the alert when the parsed SHA differs from the PR. Supply the actual PR head and base SHAs for dispatch runs, and include those runs in the bridge lookup if this path must support protected CI and readiness alerts.

Add a repository-wide GPU concurrency limit.

This concurrency group only cancels runs for the same pull request. Different pull requests can reserve L40 instances concurrently without a repository-wide limit.

Add a separate concurrency group to provision-and-test, or enforce a bounded reservation quota in the provisioning service. This prevents capacity exhaustion and uncontrolled cost.

site:docs.github.com REST API workflow runs head_sha pull_request_target GITHUB_SHA base commit

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the GITHUB_SHA and head_sha context behave differently depending on the trigger, particularly for pull_request and pull_request_target events [1][2]. For a pull_request event, the GITHUB_SHA is the merge commit of the pull request (the commit that would result if the pull request were merged) [1][3]. In contrast, for a pull_request_target event, the GITHUB_SHA refers to the commit SHA of the base repository's branch that triggered the workflow, as this event runs in the context of the base repository's default branch [2]. When interacting with the GitHub REST API for workflow runs, the head_sha parameter refers to the commit SHA that triggered the workflow [4]. If you are looking to identify the specific commit from the pull request branch (the source or head of the PR) regardless of the event, you should access github.event.pull_request.head.sha within your workflow, rather than relying solely on the environment variable GITHUB_SHA [5][2]. Key distinctions to note: 1. GITHUB_SHA: Dynamically changes based on the event. For pull_request_target, it is the head commit of the base branch; for pull_request, it is the merge commit [1][2]. 2. pull_request_target Context: This event runs in the context of the base repository's default branch for security reasons [5][2]. It is specifically designed to allow workflows (like those adding comments or labels) to execute safely with elevated permissions, as the workflow code itself is pulled from the base branch, not the untrusted fork [5][2]. 3. REST API: When using the workflow-runs API endpoint, the head_sha field in the response will represent the commit associated with the run, consistent with the trigger's behavior [4].

Citations:


Remove the head_sha filter for pull_request_target runs.

For pull_request_target, the workflow run head_sha is the base revision, while this workflow’s display title contains github.event.pull_request.head.sha. The filter can exclude the successful Community CI run before the exact title check. Keep the exact display-title and success checks.

Introduce a single exact-merge pipeline that authorizes GPU work only after the CPU aggregate succeeds. Preserve the CPU-gated run-internal-ci label bridge and retain the standalone CPU workflow only for rollout compatibility.

Run explicit family-owned premerge E2E with native artifacts, staged checkpoints, fail-closed status and cleanup, and repository-wide GPU serialization.

Keep both public and protected hardened CPU images capable of executing embedded workflow shell regressions, including their jq dependency. Carry the live Brev Docker permission fix by using sudo on freshly reserved instances.

Extract the duplicated Brev CLI installation.

provision-and-test and cleanup repeat the same 15 line install block, including the pinned version and checksum. Two copies can drift, and a stale checksum in one copy breaks only one job.

Move the block to a composite action under .github/actions/, or read the version and checksum from one workflow-level env map.

Fetch the pull-request head ref instead of a bare SHA.

For a fork pull request, HEAD_SHA can be unadvertised by the base repository. git fetch origin "$HEAD_SHA" can then fail before gpu-authorize produces its classification outputs. Fetch the published pull-request ref and verify that HEAD_SHA exists.

Expose a public E2E execution method.

tools/community_gpu_ci.py calls E2ERunner._run across the module boundary. This couples Community GPU CI to a private name and signature. Its test also fakes _run, so it does not protect the public interface. Add a public method that accepts the family and testcase tuples, call it here, and update the fake accordingly.

Increase provision-and-test's timeout or reduce the inner limits.

The workflow does not override the tool defaults. The job runs Brev setup, instance reservation, repository checkout, Docker build, native build (30m), and each selected family's E2E run (40m) under timeout-minutes: 60. A full run can exceed 60 minutes. GitHub cancels all remaining steps on a job timeout, including Record the step conclusion despite if: always(). Set the job timeout above the worst-case setup and test duration, or set explicit inner limits that fit within 60 minutes.

SHARED_SMOKE_FAMILIES hardcodes a model list that the provisioned GPU cannot run.

This shared tooling module fixes a model-family list. Scope all always expands to this full set at Line 59, so any shared-code change selects qwen3_8. The pull-request description states that the qwen3_8 case exceeds the capacity of the requested 48 GB L40 GPU. Every shared-scope GPU run will then fail on memory, not on the change under test.

Two problems follow from the same root cause:

  1. The smoke set is not model-agnostic. Shared infrastructure encodes which families run and, implicitly, how much GPU memory the gate needs.
  2. There is no link between a family and the instance type. The workflow hardcodes -g L40 at .github/workflows/community-ci.yml Line 490, while the family list lives here.

Declare the smoke membership and the GPU capacity requirement in family-owned metadata, then derive both the selection and the instance type from it. If the list must stay here for now, remove qwen3_8 until an instance with sufficient memory is available, so the gate produces a real signal.

As per path instructions: "Treat tools as shared infrastructure. Flag model/family branches, model-specific tensor or output semantics, datasets, task metrics, thresholds, probes, reference behavior, aggregation policy, or runtime strategies. Require a concrete model-agnostic need for shared changes."

Remove the rollout compatibility workflow now that Community CI is live on main. Keep trusted GPU authorization after the exact CPU aggregate, but disable Brev execution by default and leave GPU validation outside the merge gate.

Preserve the maintainer-only run-internal-ci label as the path to required Internal CI, and update setup-node to its Node 24-based v7 release.

No functional change. Replaces the earlier families/bert payload
(closed PR NVIDIA#1251, then superseded by the CI restructuring in
NVIDIA#1262/NVIDIA#1268) to exercise the gated-model download path:
facebook/sam3 requires Hugging Face authorization, so this verifies
HF_TOKEN (NVIDIA#1272) and the freshly rotated BREV_API_KEY in the same
live run.

zhenshanx-nv added a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 11, 2026
Community GPU currently downloads Hugging Face checkpoints with no
token, so gated models (e.g. sam3) fail to download, one of the
issues flagged as found-but-not-yet-fixed after the CI restructuring
in #1262/#1268.

huggingface_hub reads HF_TOKEN from the process environment
automatically (verified directly: setting os.environ["HF_TOKEN"] and
calling huggingface_hub.get_token() picks it up), so no change is
needed in tools.community_gpu_ci to consume it. This only wires the
existing HF_TOKEN secret (added to the gpu-ci-dispatch environment)
through the trusted runner into the docker run invocation that
actually runs tools.community_gpu_ci.

Deliberately not attempted here: making hf_revision mandatory in
family manifests, which would address the separate "no fixed
revision pinning" half of the same complaint. Checked first: 76 of
the ~85 premerge manifests have no hf_revision set today (including
bert), so requiring it in code would immediately break nearly every
family's GPU test rather than being a narrow fix. That needs a
separate, family-owner-reviewed effort to backfill real pinned
revisions, not a code change bundled here.
