…tities Introduce the RFC-122 environment composition for agent deployments. An AgentDeployment can now reference an AgentEnvironment (ref | inline | None) composed of an EnvironmentSpec (the dependencies an agent reaches - env vars, secrets, model provider, MCP fulfillment, Fabric environment mirror) and a ComputeSpec (k8s-style resource requests/limits). Entities (all first-class with CRUD APIs): - agent_compute_spec, agent_environment_spec, agent_environment. - Inline BaseModels are shared so a field accepts a 'workspace/name' ref or the inline spec. Compile / snapshot at deploy time: - resolve_environment dereferences the environment + its specs. - merge_environment_spec_into_agent_config merges the EnvironmentSpec into the nemo-agents-spec-v1 config with Agent-config-wins precedence (spec is the fulfillment base; the Agent's explicit values are preserved). env, Fabric mirror fields, model_provider_override, and MCP fulfillment merge in; the harness workspace path is carried as workspace_path to avoid colliding with the entity's tenant workspace field. - AgentDeployment snapshots the raw environment (provenance) and the resolved compute; content is merged into config. A deployment is not kept in sync with the underlying entities after creation. - The translator forwards environment.env + mirror fields into FabricConfig.environment; the container backend compiles the compute snapshot into Container.resources (k8s passes both requests+limits, docker consolidates to limits). Subprocess ignores compute. Backward compatible: all new fields default to None/empty, so agent configs authored without an environment behave identically. Secret env vars declared on an EnvironmentSpec ride the generalized deployments-plugin secret injection from the parent PR. Signed-off-by: Ben McCown <bmccown@nvidia.com>
- deployments.py: return 422 (not 400) for EnvironmentResolutionError — the request is syntactically valid but references an environment/spec that cannot be resolved (semantic error). - entities.py/agent_config.py: drop internal RFC-122/RFC122 identifiers from shipped source comments/docstrings; keep the descriptive text. - entities.py: rename EnvironmentSpec field artifacts -> artifacts_path for symmetry with workspace_path; environment_resolution.py maps it onto the config's environment.artifacts (mirroring the workspace_path -> workspace mapping), so the Fabric-facing field name is unchanged. - Regenerate the agents plugin OpenAPI spec: adds the AgentEnvironment / EnvironmentSpec / ComputeSpec schemas + routes (previously not regenerated) and reflects the artifacts_path rename. Signed-off-by: Ben McCown <bmccown@nvidia.com>
Permission-id segments must match [a-z0-9]+(-[a-z0-9]+)* (no underscores); the EnvironmentSpec/ComputeSpec PermissionSets used underscored namespaces (agents.environment_specs / agents.compute_specs), which the authz bundle rejected as malformed permission ids and failed closed (hard_fail), 500ing the auth service and breaking platform startup in tests. Rename the namespaces to agents.environment-specs / agents.compute-specs (matching the hyphenated route paths). Covered by the existing plugins/nemo-agents/tests/test_authz.py derivation assertion (problems == []). Signed-off-by: Ben McCown <bmccown@nvidia.com>

…r vars A secret env var from the environment whose name matches a platform-generated container env var (NMP_WORKSPACE, NMP_AGENT_NAME, NMP_BASE_URL, AGENT_CONFIG_PATH, NAT_CONFIG_PATH) behaves inconsistently across substrates: docker applies the secret value over the generated one, while k8s ignores the colliding secret because explicit env entries take precedence over the managed Secret's envFrom. Reject the collision at compile time (ReservedSecretEnvVarError, surfaced as a failed deployment) instead of silently shadowing platform wiring. Adds docker + k8s coverage for each reserved name.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Reserve PYTHONPATH before compiling secret variables.
When k8s plugin wheels are enabled, Line 439 adds an explicit PYTHONPATH. A secret named PYTHONPATH is accepted here, but k8s ignores it because the generated value takes precedence. Docker does not add that value. Add PYTHONPATH to the reserved names, or validate it when plugin-wheel injection is enabled. Extend the parameterized test.
Proposed fix
_RESERVED_ENV_VAR_NAMES = frozenset(
{
"NMP_WORKSPACE",
"NMP_AGENT_NAME",
"NMP_BASE_URL",
_AGENT_CONFIG_PATH_ENV,

Summary
Add the RFC-122 environment composition to the nemo-agents plugin. An AgentDeployment can now reference an AgentEnvironment (
ref | inline | None) composed of an EnvironmentSpec (the dependencies an agent reaches — env vars, secrets, external model-provider override, MCP fulfillment, and the Fabric environment mirror) and a ComputeSpec (k8s-style resource requests/limits). At deploy time the environment is resolved and snapshotted onto the deployment, compiling into the agent.yaml /FabricConfigand, for container modes, the deployments-pluginContainer.resources.This is PR 2 of a stack. It targets
generalized-secret-injection/bmccown(PR #1378), which generalizes deployments-plugin secret injection so EnvironmentSpecsecretscan reach containers. Review/merge #1378 first.Related Issue
RFC-122 (environment/sandbox/harness specs). Sandbox spec is explicitly out of scope here.
Changes

All default toNone/empty → backward compatible.resolve_environmentdereferences the environment + its specs (missing ref → 400);merge_environment_spec_into_agent_configmerges the EnvironmentSpec into thenemo-agents-spec-v1config with Agent-config-wins precedence (the spec is the fulfillment base). Merges env vars, Fabric mirror fields,model_provider_override, and MCP fulfillment. The harness workspace path is carried asworkspace_pathto avoid colliding with the entity/tenantworkspacefield._perms.py+schema.py+service.py: CRUD routes for the three entities with mandatory@path_ruleauthz.Container.resources— k8s passes requests+limits, docker consolidates to limits, subprocess ignores it.EnvironmentConfig, forwarded (plus mergedenv, platform-injected values winning) intoFabricConfig.environment.A deployment is snapshotted at create time and is not kept in sync with the underlying environment entities afterward.
