feat(deploy): lab-grade deployment — pinned digests, lockfile, SBOM, offline mode, profiles, executed 500k–1M benchmarks

[Zhang1178]

Summary

Completes lab-grade deployment after #26: the container/lockfile/SBOM/offline/profiles stack top-tier labs expect, plus really executed 500k and 1M cell scale benchmarks with committed reports — replacing the previous "harness only, cluster reference not runnable" state. Independent of #28.

Reproducible image (digest pin + lockfile)

• container/apptainer.def: base image pinned by OCI digest — python:3.11-slim-bookworm @ sha256:0bee7276f83efd4a1ee05bbbf4281d95ed28e079220a9457f25a93e3f1e3c31b (real digest resolved from Docker Hub, 2026-08-30). CI re-resolves the tag every build and fails on drift.
• container/requirements-lock.txt: 208 packages pinned to exact versions with wheel SHA-256 hashes (uv pip compile --python-version 3.11 --generate-hashes; command recorded in the manifest). pip hash-checking mode verifies every wheel at install — which is also the offline supply-chain control. Source tree installs with --no-deps -e . on top.

SBOM

• container/sbom-python.json: CycloneDX 1.5, 209 components, exact locked versions (scanpy 1.11.5, squidpy 1.8.2, torch 2.13.0, pydeseq2 0.5.4, …) via scripts/generate_sbom.py --from-lockfile (new mode; the old pyproject mode emitted placeholders).
• CI regenerates the SBOM inside the built image and asserts component-level equality with the committed file — SBOM drift fails the build.

Deployment manifest

• container/DEPLOYMENT_MANIFEST.json: single ledger — base digest, lockfile/SBOM SHA-256, CPU/GPU/offline profiles, Slurm reference profiles, benchmark evidence with machine-class labels, and an explicit evidence/adoption boundary. Digest consistency is test-enforced.

Offline mode (air-gapped labs / HPC)

• BIONEXUS_OFFLINE=1 forces OFFLINE_STRICT egress (zero hosted endpoints) regardless of any other configuration and cannot be relaxed at runtime (set_mode refuses).
• New gates: bionexus offline-check [--enforce] and bionexus doctor --offline / --require-offline (fail-closed, zero network requests; verifies replay eval provider + local zero-key MCP tools + policy-level endpoint refusal). Runs in the image %test and the Slurm profiles.

CPU / GPU profiles

• One SIF, two run profiles: CPU apptainer exec (CI-validated end to end) and GPU apptainer exec --nv with a node-level torch.cuda.is_available() assertion — honestly documented as not CI-validatable (no GPU in CI).

Slurm reference profiles (cluster/slurm/profiles/)

• hpc-cpu.sbatch (doctor → offline gate → three-gate chain), hpc-gpu.sbatch (--nv + CUDA evidence), run_scale_benchmark.sbatch (HPC reproduction of the committed evidence). Live-scheduler submission remains site adaptation — stated, not hidden.

Scale benchmark: actually executed, honestly labeled

Reworked evals/scale_benchmark.py to be memory-bounded by construction (chunked zero-inflated sparse generation at controlled structural density, in-place CPM/log1p, streaming HVG) + Windows peak-memory reporting (psutil peak_wset / GetProcessMemoryInfo). The old harness's 500k-cell "cluster reference" was a ~78%-dense Poisson draw (~350 GB at the default 20k genes) — not runnable anywhere; this PR's committed evidence is.

Committed executed reports (machine fingerprint, per-stage wall, peak memory + method, observed density):

Report	Scale	Machine	Result
scale_benchmark_30k_5g.json	30k × 5k @ 8%	8 cores / 8 GB (Windows)	16.6 s, peak 0.87 GB
scale_benchmark_500k_5g.json	500k × 5k @ 8%	8 cores / 8 GB	278 s, peak 3.75 GB
scale_benchmark_1000k_5g.json	1M × 5k @ 5%	8 cores / 8 GB	482 s, peak 4.13 GB

Honesty: these are real runs of the committed harness, labeled as single small-node runs — not HPC numbers. The 500k–1M runs prove the pipeline is memory-feasible on commodity nodes; top-lab HPC evidence is produced by running run_scale_benchmark.sbatch on the target cluster and committing the node's report (the harness records the machine fingerprint, so the report is the evidence).

Test plan

• tests/unit/test_lab_grade_deployment.py: 18 tests — offline enforcement/refusal/CLI gates, harness density + memory-method, manifest/lockfile/SBOM digest and component consistency, container digest pin, Slurm profile content.
• Full unit suite at exact failure parity with pristine baseline HEAD (23 pre-existing environment failures verified on a clean worktree; 896 passed; zero new failures).
