Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds one-call guardrail deployment, SDK validation, Fabric skill compatibility, assistant stream telemetry, guarded virtual-model links, and chat run-activity presentation. It also updates gateway timeouts, Docker archive permissions, and Guardrails configuration validation.

Changes

Guardrail assistant workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guardrail execution contracts
agents/nemo-studio-assistant*/agent.yaml, agents/nemo-studio-assistant*/skills/guardrails/SKILL.md
Defines direct execution, guardrail deployment, validation, approval, routing, reporting, and failure rules.
Guardrail deployment runtime
agents/nemo-studio-assistant/src/nemo_studio_assistant/*, agents/nemo-studio-assistant/Dockerfile.fabric-local
Adds deploy_guardrail, SDK validation, model preflight, workspace handling, Studio link handling, and Fabric skill-path compatibility.
Guardrail workflow validation
agents/nemo-studio-assistant/tests/test_nemo_studio_assistant.py
Tests deployment, approvals, probes, routing, duplicate runs, circuit breakers, model preflight, and skill loading.

Platform runtime behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Streaming timeout and archive permissions
plugins/nemo-agents/.../gateway.py, plugins/nemo-deployments/.../backend.py, plugins/*/tests/unit/*
Streaming requests use unlimited idle read timeouts. Non-streaming requests use a finite default. Docker archives preserve configured permissions.

Guardrails API skill and validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
API-first guardrail skill
plugins/nemo-guardrails/src/nemo_guardrails_plugin/skills/guardrails-plugin/*, plugins/nemo-guardrails/tests/unit/test_skill.py
Documents and tests REST and SDK workflows for configuration, checks, middleware, routing, inference, and read-back.
Configuration update validation
services/guardrails/src/nmp/guardrails/*, services/guardrails/tests/*
Configuration updates now validate complete models. Invalid rails shapes return validation errors without changing stored configuration.

Studio assistant streaming

Layer / File(s) Summary
Assistant stream event handling
services/studio/src/nmp/studio/assistant*.py
Adds heartbeat and activity SSE events, tool outcome parsing, deployment run IDs, stream completion checks, and safe upstream error handling.
Studio assistant integration
services/studio/src/nmp/studio/studio_links.py, services/studio/tests/unit/test_assistant.py
Adds guarded virtual-model links and tests activity rendering, stream failures, deployment context, headers, and event ordering.

Assistant run telemetry UI

Layer / File(s) Summary
Run telemetry state
web/packages/studio/src/routes/agents/AssistantChatRoute/useAssistantChatRuntime.ts, types.ts, useAssistantChatRuntime.test.ts
Tracks run state, status, connection timing, activities, permissions, completions, and failures.
Activity event transport
web/packages/studio/src/routes/agents/AssistantChatRoute/{api,stream}.*, context/AssistantChatProvider.tsx
Parses heartbeat and activity events, labels tool actions, and warns before unloading during active runs.
Chat run presentation
web/packages/common/src/components/AssistantChat/*, web/packages/studio/src/routes/agents/AssistantChatRoute/*
Adds labeled elapsed-time indicators, composer status slots, activity history, and updated assistant landing text.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 08d4a

The PR adds guardrail execution and assistant activity handling, but unresolved paths can misreport successful checks, return unvalidated approved requests, permanently block deployment retries, or send updates with incorrect metadata. Merge should wait until these bounded correctness and availability issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

351-360: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial

Bound streaming requests outside the idle read timeout.

If an upstream accepts a streaming request and then stops sending data, read_timeout=None keeps the gateway task and connection open indefinitely. Verify that a separate maximum stream lifetime, concurrency limit, or load-shedding control protects the gateway.

Test a non-default file mode.

The assertion uses 0o644, so it also passes if the backend continues forcing every file to 644. Set the fixture's ConfigFile.mode to a non-default value, such as 0o600, and assert that value in the archive.

Swallowed error hides the real failure cause.

When runHadFailureRef.current is true, the catch returns COMPLETE_STATUS and never rethrows. Any transport or session error after a single failed tool activity is reported only as "Request completed with issues". The user does not see the cause, and onError never runs.

Record the error message as an activity detail before returning, so the cause stays visible.

Test the startup patch, not only the helper.

Bound the per-session module caches.

_api_error_streaks, _guardrail_check_failures, _preflighted_guardrail_models, and _guardrail_deployment_results are keyed by Studio session id and never evicted. The MCP server is long-lived, so these grow for the process lifetime. Use a bounded LRU or TTL cache.

- Line 795: Recompute is_guardrail_check after the approved resource and action
values replace the originals, before branching into guardrail-specific handling.
Update the flow around _is_guardrail_check and the approval-edit logic so an
approved resource='guardrail' and action='check' still executes
_preflight_guardrail_model and the guardrail status assertion.
- Around line 592-607: The pre-try setup in deploy_guardrail, including
_get_client, _guardrail_config_data, and _guardrail_virtual_model_data, can
raise before the in-flight marker is cleared. Move this setup inside the

Move the pre-try setup inside the guarded block, or clear the in-flight marker on failure.

Line 528 stores None as the in-flight marker for deployment_key. Lines 592-607 run outside the try at Line 608. If _get_client raises (invalid workspace, SDK constructor failure), the exception escapes deploy_guardrail without calling finish. The marker stays None, so every later call with the same deployment_run_id returns "duplicate guardrail deployment attempt prevented". The user cannot retry the deployment, even after the transient cause is fixed.

Recompute is_guardrail_check after approval edits.

Line 795 computes is_guardrail_check from the original resource and action. Lines 835-836 replace both values with the approved ones. The flag is not recomputed. An approved edit that changes the call into resource='guardrail', action='check' skips _preflight_guardrail_model and skips the status assertion at Lines 847-851, so an unvalidated guardrail result is returned as a normal success.

🐛 Proposed fix
             normalized_action = action.strip().lower()
+            is_guardrail_check = _is_guardrail_check(resource, action)

Non-JSON guardrail-check output is misreported as failed.

_structured_tool_output returns None when the output is neither JSON nor a Python literal. Then status is None and the branch returns "failed" with detail Guardrail check returned an unexpected status: None. A successful check that returns plain text is shown to the user as a failure.

Treat an unparsable output as completed without detail, and only fail on a parsed status that is not blocked/success.
