nnterp's nnsight-0.8 branch carries the port, and nnsightful's tools speak
nnterp's vocabulary rather than nnsight's, so neither repo needed a source
change -- but the pickled request carries the model wrapper, whose class is
nnterp.StandardizedTransformer, and NDIF ships neither library. Register it by
value alongside nnsightful; without it the server cannot read the payload and
reports ModuleNotFoundError dressed as a corrupt-payload error.

Also trust better-sqlite3 so bun builds its native binding -- without it
drizzle-kit push cannot open the local SQLite database at all.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A tool run took three legs: POST /start for a job id, the browser polling
NDIF's /response/{id} until COMPLETED, then POST /results/{id} to collect and
shape it. It is now one POST that stays open and answers in Server-Sent
Events -- each NDIF status as it lands, then the finished payload.

nnsight 0.8 ships AsyncRemoteBackend, which submits on the trace's exit and
then hands back the raw status updates instead of consuming them. That is the
whole mechanism: _api/sse.py turns those updates into `status` frames, calls
the tool's to_data_obj when the saved values arrive, and emits one `data`
frame. There is no custom backend subclass -- an earlier attempt at this
(feat/sse-remote-backend, against 0.7) needed 102 lines of one because 0.7 had
no async path.

What this buys, beyond the round trips:

* The browser no longer talks to NDIF at all, so config.ts has no NDIF URL and
  needs none -- one origin, and no second host to reach through a tunnel or an
  ingress. The hardcoded localhost:5001 goes with it; NDIF's API has been on
  8001 since long before 0.8.
* Status is pushed rather than sampled, so QUEUED position and the
  RUNNING->COMPLETED transition land when they happen rather than up to a
  second later.
* A collect step could find its model gone -- causal_mediation carried a 503
  for exactly that window. One connection, no window.

What it costs is that a run lives and dies with its connection: polling a job
id survived a reload, and this does not. NDIF still finishes the job, and the
result is still written by the caller's mutation, so what is lost is the
ability to rejoin a run in progress. Runs are seconds to a couple of minutes.

The routes lost their response_model, so the payload is encoded by hand --
through jsonable_encoder, because a payload is often a plain dict with pydantic
models nested inside it (a generation's `completion` is a list of Token).

Long silences are covered by a comment frame every 15s. A cold 70B deploy can
sit quiet for minutes, and an idle connection is what proxies reap; the
warmup path in deployApi used to poll on a 20-minute ceiling and now just holds
the stream open.

Errors split by when they happen. Before the stream opens -- a 403 for a model
the caller cannot use -- they stay ordinary HTTP failures. After, they can only
be an `error` frame, because the status line is long gone.

Verified against the self-hosted 0.8 NDIF: the logit lens streams QUEUED ->
DISPATCHED -> RUNNING -> COMPLETED and returns Paris for "The Eiffel Tower is
in the city of", and generation returns its completion. Typecheck and lint show
the same errors as before the change, none of them new.

process is called with the dict of saved values and hands back the payload;
every one of the seven is a plain def or lambda, so the isawaitable branch was
never taken. It came across from the earlier 0.7 attempt at this, and I wrote a
comment justifying it -- that a route might await a tokenizer call or a second
request -- which described nothing that exists.

The type said Union[BaseModel, dict, list, Any], which is Any with decoration.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Simpler without it, and the one deployment it would have protected is the
nginx-ingress preview path (60s proxy-read-timeout, not overridden). Prod does
not run behind Modal, so the 300s function ceiling that a heartbeat could not
have fixed anyway is moot.

If an idle stream does start getting cut, the annotation is the better lever
than a comment frame here; the docstring says where.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three notes from review.

No leading underscores on what this change added: _jsonify -> jsonify,
_stream_trace -> stream_trace, and lens's _stream is gone entirely. The
underscored names still in these files (_refresh_catalog, _format_lens,
_run_causal_mediation) predate it and are left alone.

stream_error was never called. It came across from the earlier 0.7 attempt at
this, like the await that went in the last commit.

And the local-vs-remote branch was written out four times -- in stream_tool and
in all three routes that do not use it -- each wrapping the same
StreamingResponse with the same media type and headers. That is now one
`stream(result, process)`, which dispatches on whether it was handed an
AsyncRemoteBackend or the saved values themselves. Dispatching on the object
rather than on state.remote keeps it in step with what the trace actually did,
since that flag is what decided the shape. Routes no longer import
MEDIA_TYPE, HEADERS, StreamingResponse or the two frame generators.

The 403 was also written twice, so it moves to auth.require_model_access next
to the predicate it wraps; models.py still logs the denial, which is the only
thing it did differently.

A lens v1 route is now its access check and one line. Same four statuses and
the same Paris from hakone; the frontend is untouched.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The backend replaces start-and-poll model operations with streamed /run endpoints. Shared SSE helpers support local and remote execution. The frontend parses SSE responses through runAndStream, and deployment warmup now uses one streamed generation request.

Changes

SSE execution migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Authorization and backend contract
workbench/_api/auth.py, workbench/_api/routes/__init__.py, workbench/_api/state.py
Remote requests now validate model access and create AsyncRemoteBackend instances. nnterp is registered with nnsight.ndif.
SSE response protocol
workbench/_api/sse.py
Shared helpers emit status, data, and error events for remote runs, and one data event for local runs.
Streaming API routes
workbench/_api/routes/*.py
Model operations now use single streamed run endpoints. Remote executions stream backend results, while local executions process saved values.
Frontend streaming client and API wiring
workbench/_web/src/lib/runAndStream.ts, workbench/_web/src/lib/config.ts, workbench/_web/src/lib/api/*
The frontend parses SSE frames and uses run endpoints instead of start-and-poll workflows.
Deployment warmup integration
workbench/_web/src/lib/api/deployApi.ts, workbench/_web/src/stores/useModelDeployment.ts, workbench/_web/package.json
Deployment waits for one streamed generation request and removes job ID polling. better-sqlite3 is added to trusted dependencies.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 4508b

This change is not merge-ready: the service may fail to start because it imports a dependency symbol unavailable in the runtime, and several streaming endpoints can bypass model-level authorization. Additional SSE and failure-handling defects can cause valid runs to fail or leave stale job state, so the blocking issues should be fixed before merge.

type="NEXT_TOKEN" is hardcoded for both routes.

stream_trace serves /run-prediction with method="PREDICTION" and /run-generate with method="GENERATE", but every telemetry point is tagged type="NEXT_TOKEN". Generation records are then mislabeled in InfluxDB. Pass the type as a parameter.

Enforce model access on every streamed execution path.

These routes require only the caller identity and do not call require_model_access before resolving or streaming the requested model. A caller without access can therefore run gated remote models through activation patching, causal mediation, j-lens, and logit-lens endpoints.

Call require_model_access(state, user_email, model_name) before model resolution or stream_tool in each route so denied requests return a 403 before streaming begins.

Forward include_entropy to j_lens. j_lens uses this option, but run_j_lens does not pass it to stream_tool, so client settings are ignored. Add include_entropy=req.include_entropy at lines 27–33.

LensStatistic.ENTROPY reaches this endpoint and fails.

LensLineRequest.stat accepts ENTROPY, but line() assigns _compute_func only for PROBABILITY and RANK. An ENTROPY request raises UnboundLocalError inside line(req, state) at Line 122. The call happens before stream(...), so the client receives a 500 instead of an SSE error frame. Reject the unsupported statistic with a 422, or restrict the field type.

Record aborted SSE requests

finish runs before the final data frame is yielded. A client disconnect before that point closes backend_frames and skips finish. Add close or cancellation handling that records an appropriate terminal status.

Remove the unsupported AsyncRemoteBackend dependency.

nnsight v0.7.0 and main expose RemoteBackend, not AsyncRemoteBackend. The import fails before FastAPI starts because _api/main.py imports AppState during application creation. Use a source that exports AsyncRemoteBackend, or adapt both modules to the 0.7 RemoteBackend API.

Add SSE heartbeats for cold deployments.

Cold runs can exceed the preview nginx ingress’s 60-second proxy-read-timeout without sending a frame. runAndStream then throws "The run ended before returning a result". Emit heartbeats below the timeout or provide a reconnect/resume contract.

Support CRLF SSE frame delimiters.

parseSSE only detects \n\n. A valid SSE stream can use \r\n\r\n. Those frames remain buffered, so data stays null and the request fails when the stream closes.

Split frames and fields on CRLF, LF, and CR delimiters. Add parser tests for CRLF frames and chunk boundaries.

Set the job status when transport failures occur.

A rejected fetch or a stream-reader error exits runAndStream before the existing error status paths. The workspace can remain queued or running after the mutation has failed.

Wrap the fetch and stream loop in try/catch, call setJobStatus("Error"), and rethrow the error.
