fix(ci): pass HF_TOKEN through to Community GPU - #1272
Conversation
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 NVIDIA#1262/NVIDIA#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>

Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change hands the Hugging Face access token to the GPU test container, which runs code from the pull request under test. A maintainer must first enable the GPU smoke test, but when they do, contributed code could read and leak the token. Prefer downloading gated checkpoints in a trusted step and giving the container only the resulting files before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 9✅ Passed checks (9 passed)

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 Replaces the earlier families/bert payload (closed PR NVIDIA#1251, then superseded by the CI restructuring in NVIDIA#1262/NVIDIA#1268) to exercise the gated-model download path: facebook/sam3 requires Hugging Face authorization, so this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.

Sensitive Data Exposure
Reachability: External
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-522 — Insufficiently Protected Credentials
Do not expose HF_TOKEN to PR-controlled code.
When a maintainer enables the GPU path, the workflow checks out the exact PR merge, mounts it in the container, and runs tools.community_gpu_ci with HF_TOKEN. Fork PR code can read and exfiltrate the token. GitHub Actions masking only hides the value in logs. Stage gated checkpoints in a trusted step before the container starts and pass only staged artifacts, or use a credential broker.

Background
Community GPU currently downloads Hugging Face checkpoints with no
authorization token, so gated models (e.g. sam3) fail to download. This is
one of the issues flagged as found-but-not-yet-fixed after the recent CI
restructuring (#1262, #1268).
Exit Criteria
The `provision-and-test` job's docker invocation receives `HF_TOKEN` from
the `gpu-ci-dispatch` environment secret, and `huggingface_hub` inside the
container picks it up automatically for gated-checkpoint downloads.
Implementation
`huggingface_hub` reads `HF_TOKEN` from the process environment
automatically. Verified directly:
```
os.environ["HF_TOKEN"] = "dummy_test_value_123"
from huggingface_hub import get_token
get_token() == "dummy_test_value_123" # True
```
So no change is needed in `tools.community_gpu_ci` to consume it. This PR
only wires the `HF_TOKEN` secret (already added to the `gpu-ci-dispatch`
environment) through the trusted runner into the `docker run` invocation
that actually executes `tools.community_gpu_ci`.

Not yet re-verified against an actual gated model download inside the real
GPU CI flow; see Not Run below.
Hardware, Environment, and Revisions
Not applicable: environment-variable passthrough only, no runtime component
of its own.
Not Run / Remaining Gaps
CI run. Planned as a follow-up: swap the model in a test PR to a gated
one and manually dispatch `run_gpu_smoke`, to verify both `HF_TOKEN` and
the freshly rotated `BREV_API_KEY` in the same run.
family manifests (the "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 across many families, not a code change
bundled into this PR.

Notes For Future Readers
If tackling the revision-pinning half of this issue later: start from the
76-manifest list this PR's investigation produced (not included here since
it's just informational, not a diff), and expect it to need per-family
owner sign-off on the exact pinned commit for each checkpoint, not a single
mechanical PR.
Risk level
Purely additive environment-variable passthrough; empty/missing secret
behaves identically to today's behavior (no token).
