ci: retire standalone CPU and pause GPU - #1268
Conversation
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. Refs: NVIDIA#1262 Signed-off-by: chaofengw <chaofengw@nvidia.com>
📝 SummarySummaryCommunity CI is now the only pull-request workflow. It runs the required CPU aggregate before GPU authorization and impact classification. Brev GPU execution is disabled by default. A maintainer can enable a non-gating GPU smoke test through workflow dispatch after CPU validation passes. The workflow reports the active GPU policy and skips GPU provisioning, testing, cleanup, and result publication when disabled. The Internal CI bridge now accepts only the exact successful GPU execution now runs each selected family independently. Architecture impact

344-350: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winMove this family-specific version assertion out of the shared tools test suite.
This test hardcodes the
eagle_vlmfamily name and the exact pinrequests==2.32.5in shared infrastructure. Every bump of that family-owned pin then requires an edit to a sharedtools/testsfile. Place the assertion in the family's own test suite, or assert the model-agnostic property that a selected family'srequirements.txtparses, without pinning a version in shared code.The docstring also states that the processor "can import its requests dependency". The assertion only reads a text file, so it does not prove importability. Align the docstring with the check.
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."

Retain only marker lines from Brev output
execute() receives output from the remote tools.community_gpu_ci command. Its CMake and pytest commands inherit stdout and stderr, so output can continue for the 60-minute GPU job limit. lines retains every line, although parse_remote_status() uses only lines whose stripped value starts with marker. Large output can therefore consume runner memory.

Fit the per-family timeouts within the 60-minute GPU job limit. For scope=all, five families run sequentially. Each family can consume up to 10m for requirements, 30m for its C++ build, and 40m for E2E. The job can therefore time out before the loop reaches later families or its final failure aggregation. Derive per-family limits from the remaining job time or set an overall budget below the job limit.

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. Signed-off-by: Zhenshan Xie <zhenshanx@nvidia.com>
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. Signed-off-by: Zhenshan Xie <zhenshanx@nvidia.com>

Background
#1262 introduced one ordered Community CI workflow but intentionally retained
the standalone Community CPU workflow during rollout. Validation on #1267
confirmed the combined CPU aggregate and showed that the compatibility workflow
duplicates CPU work. Community GPU runs also exposed a missing Eagle VLM Python
dependency, Brev retrying failed applications, fail-fast family execution, and
a result job that could disagree with the underlying test.
The immediate rollout goal is to keep contributor pull requests moving while
Community GPU remains experimental. Checkpoint
