Summary

uv tool install nemo-platform[all] did not install the Insights, Experimentalist, or Eval Author plugins. [all] resolves to [services][plugins], and [plugins] is generated by make vendor from [tool.bundle-package], which had no entry for these three. They were reachable only through the root enabled-plugins dependency group, so local syncs and container images had them while the published wheel did not.

Nothing excluded them on purpose. The blocker was nooa, which the workspace pinned to a git commit because the callable @strategy(llm=...) support that coder.py needs landed after v0.0.8. nooa 0.0.9 published on 2026-08-18 and contains that commit (the tag is 51 commits ahead of the pin, 0 behind), so the pin can go and the plugins can ship.

Please look hard at this

Bundling Insights brings more than CLI commands. It also carries its nemo.services, nemo.controllers, and nemo.jobs entry points into the wrapper, so a wheel install of nemo-platform[all] will now discover an insights service and an insights-analysis controller. That is a behavioural change, not just a packaging one.

I believe it is the right behaviour, because it makes the wheel match what container images already do — core-services includes enabled-plugins, which has listed all three for a while, so images have been starting these all along and only the wheel disagreed. But it is the judgement call in this PR most worth a second opinion, and it is easy to reverse: dropping the nemo.services inheritance for the insights bundle entry would ship the CLI without the service.

Related Issue

None.

Changes

Split so the dependency swap can be reverted independently of the packaging change.

  • build(nooa) — drop the nooa git pin from the root and the tau3 example [tool.uv.sources]; declare nooa>=0.0.9 on the three plugins. The bare nooa was only safe while [tool.uv.sources] overrode it. In a wheel it resolves to 0.0.8, installs cleanly, imports cleanly, and then fails mid-generation: 0.0.8's actor.py does llm_client = call_llm or plan_llm or ..., assigning the lambda straight in as a model client, and the only guard there (if llm_client is None) does not fire because a lambda is truthy. 0.0.9 added nooa/method_llm.py to validate at decoration time and resolve at call time. Also updates the smoke-agent task image, which installed nooa by git URL, and the two docs that quoted the revision.
  • feat(packaging) — add three [tool.bundle-package] entries and run make vendor. That is the whole change: it generates the three extras, grows [plugins] from 10 entries to 13, and inherits the entry points.
  • build — relock, since the wrapper's new extras change the nemo-platform[all] closure.
  • test(experimentalist) — the skills entry-point test asserted len(eps) == 1. Bundling means a source checkout has two providers for that name. Every other bundled plugin (agents, anonymizer, auditor, data-designer, evaluator, guardrails, safe-synthesizer) has had two entries all along, so that assertion was really asserting "not bundled yet". It now checks that all providers name one target that loads and holds the skills, which is the property that catches a wrapper going stale against a renamed skills_dir. That absorbed the sibling test covering the same ground by direct import.

One judgement call left open: the floors are >=0.0.9 with no upper bound, matching how nemo-fabric is handled. nooa is pre-1.0 and just changed a signature between 0.0.8 and 0.0.9, so a cap is defensible — at the cost of a repo change per nooa release.

Two diff entries that are consequences rather than intent: the smoke-agent image tag is content-addressed, so editing its Dockerfile re-stamps the tag and the rendered-task-tree hash; and third_party/requirements-main.txt picks up four stale # via lines that predate this branch and appear on any regeneration.

Type of Change

  • Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
  • Code change with documentation updates
  • Documentation only
  • Contributor tooling or automation
  • CI, build, or test infrastructure

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
  • Tests not applicable — justification:
  • Documentation updated for user-visible behavior
  • Documentation not applicable — justification:

Docs touched are the two that quoted the old pin: plugins/nemo-experimentalist/AGENTS.md and framework-skills/nooa/SKILL.md.

Verification

  • Pull request title follows the repository's Conventional Commit format
  • Every commit includes an appropriate Signed-off-by: trailer
  • uv run pre-commit run -a passes, or any blocked checks are identified below
  • Targeted tests pass, or tests are marked not applicable above
  • No secrets, API keys, or credentials are included

Targeted validation:

  • Built the wheel from this branch and installed nemo-platform[all] into an empty venv: nooa 0.0.9 with no direct_url.json, all three plugin modules importable, nemo agents --help listing analyst / eval-author / experimentalist, nemo insights present, and nemo agents experimentalist components resolving all ten components including proposer.code-change (the coder.py needing the callable llm=).
  • Wheel METADATA carries Provides-Extra for all three, and the build hook rewrote the Experimentalist ↔ Eval Author cycle into nemo-platform[...] self-referencing extras, so no unresolvable workspace name reaches Requires-Dist.
  • make test-unit → 14112 passed, 7 failed. The 7 are packages/nemo_evaluator_sdk/tests/agent_eval/test_*_live.py cases pulling images from docker.io, which this sandbox resets. The identical 7 fail on an unmodified origin/main checkout, so they are environmental — and CI's own Python unit tests job passes.
  • pytest on the three plugin suites plus the vendor and build-hook tests → 1687 passed, 45 skipped.
  • uv run --frozen ty check → 716 diagnostics, byte-identical to the origin/main baseline; none in the changed files.
  • ruff check / ruff format --check clean; uv lock --check in sync; make vendor run twice is a no-op, so CI regenerates the same bytes.

Blocked locally, not by the change (all covered by CI, which is green):

  • uv run pre-commit run -auv-lock and uv-lock-check pass. Helm Docs needs a container image this sandbox cannot pull, and Fix copyright headers flags three pre-existing files under packages/garak_api/garakapi/. Neither hook's inputs appear in this diff. That hook also rewrites ~40 unrelated files repo-wide; those edits were reverted rather than committed.
  • make update-licenses needs osv-scanner, which ships via Flox. third_party/requirements-main.txt was regenerated with the same uv export the generator runs, then passed through the generator's own _sanitize_requirements_file. CI's Lint all accepts the result.
  • docker build of the smoke-agent image — ghcr.io is blocked. Tags were stamped with build_image.py --skip-build, and the new requirement was verified by installing nooa[tracing]>=0.0.9 with the image's other pins into a clean venv.

cursoragent and others added 4 commits August 18, 2026 16:27
nooa 0.0.9 is the first release carrying the callable `@strategy(llm=...)`
support that Experimentalist's `coder.py` depends on, so the workspace no
longer needs to pin a commit past v0.0.8. The tag contains the commit that
was pinned (51 ahead, 0 behind).

Declare `nooa>=0.0.9` on the three plugins that use it rather than a bare
`nooa`. The bare requirement was only safe while `[tool.uv.sources]`
overrode it inside this workspace; once these plugins ship in a wheel it
would resolve to 0.0.8, install cleanly, and then fail at the call site.

The smoke-agent task image installed nooa by git URL too. Its guard test
asserted a 40-hex revision matching the root pin, so it now compares the
image's version specifier against the plugin's own instead -- the point of
the test is that image and plugin resolve the same range. Re-stamping the
content-addressed image tag moves the rendered-task-tree hash with it.

`tools/check_nooa_import_surface.py` walks the plugins' nooa imports against
the installed package, so a floor bump that drops or renames a symbol is one
command rather than an import error deep into an agent run.

…all]

`uv tool install nemo-platform[all]` did not install these three plugins.
`[all]` resolves to `[services]` -> `[plugins]`, and `[plugins]` is generated
by `make vendor` from `[tool.bundle-package]`, which had no entry for them.
They were only ever reachable through the root `enabled-plugins` group, so
local syncs and container images had them while the published wheel did not.

Adding the bundle entries is the whole change; `make vendor` regenerates the
three extras, grows `[plugins]` from ten to thirteen, and inherits the
entry points. Nothing pinned these plugins out on purpose -- the blocker was
`nooa`, which only reached PyPI as of 0.0.9.

Verified against a wheel built from this branch and installed into a clean
venv: `nemo agents --help` lists analyst, eval-author, and experimentalist,
`nemo insights` is present, and `nemo agents experimentalist components`
resolves every component. The build hook rewrites the Experimentalist
<-> Eval Author cycle into intra-wheel extras, so no unresolvable workspace
name reaches Requires-Dist.

`make vendor` added the extras but the root lock still described the old
`nemo-platform[all]` closure, so the uv.lock drift check failed.

…ntry point

Bundling the plugin into `nemo-platform` means a source checkout has two
distributions advertising `experimentalist` in `nemo.skills`: the editable
plugin and the wrapper. Every other bundled plugin -- agents, anonymizer,
auditor, data-designer, evaluator, guardrails, safe-synthesizer -- has had
two entries all along, so the old `len(eps) == 1` assertion was really
asserting "not bundled yet" rather than anything about the skills contract.

Assert what matters instead: at least one provider, all providers naming the
same target, and that target loading to a callable whose directory holds the
skills. That absorbs the `terminator` check from the sibling test, which was
covering the same ground through a direct import.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b3ef7

The smoke-agent image accepts any nooa release at or above 0.0.9 rather than the exact version validated for this PR, so a future upstream release could change behavior or break the example; the change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a follow-up to constrain that dependency.

It was scaffolding for the 0.0.9 migration and has already served that
purpose. Nothing runs it: no CI job, no pre-commit hook, no Makefile target.
The three plugin suites import these modules for real, so a nooa release that
drops or renames a symbol fails there anyway, and fails on behaviour changes
this script could never see.

The line this replaced installed nooa from an immutable commit SHA, and
swapping it for `>=0.0.9` quietly gave up reproducibility in the one place
that cannot afford it. This image's tag is `sha256(Dockerfile, records.json)`,
so a range lets the installed nooa drift while the tag stays fixed -- the
"container quietly running against stale data" that build_image.py says the
content-addressed tag exists to prevent. An exact pin restores the coupling:
bumping nooa changes the Dockerfile bytes, so the tag moves with it. It also
matches the repo's only other Dockerfile dependency, `nvidia-nat[most]==...`.

The guard test compared the image's specifier string against the plugin's,
which forbids exactly this pin. It now checks the two properties that matter
-- the image names one `==` version, and the plugin's range accepts it -- via
`packaging` rather than regex, so extras and whitespace are the parser's
problem. Both failure modes were confirmed to fail loudly.

Hash-checked installs were considered and skipped. That needs nooa's whole
transitive closure pinned in an image-local artifact, regenerated on every
floor bump, to protect a fixture that is never published and whose tests skip
by default.
