Pools created through POST /v1/pools could live at most one hour after their last renewal. Engineers who provision a pool for a service or a long evaluation had to keep a client renewing it. - With gateway auth on, where every pool write carries the admin token, SIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_TTL_S now defaults to 2592000 (30 days), and ttl_seconds also accepts "never": the pool has no lease and lives until it is deleted. With auth off the limit stays at one hour and "never" is refused with 403, so one unauthenticated request still cannot hold capacity for long. An explicit SIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_TTL_S overrides either default. The warm-floor budget and the live-pool cap apply to pools that never expire too. - Pool lifetime has one rule, read from the spec: the default pool and static Helm queue pools carry "never", so expiry, renewal, and Kubernetes Leases no longer special-case them by name. A pool without a lease gets no Lease; a stale one is dropped instead of collecting the pool, and a pool whose ConfigMap cannot be read is never deleted as an orphan. - An update that omits ttl_seconds keeps the pool's lifetime, so a client re-posting a pool at startup cannot shorten one an admin made permanent. Changing only ttl_seconds keeps the pool's assigned workers. - The admin token is accepted wherever a client token is, so one key can create a pool and send it traffic. - The Python and TypeScript SDKs expose ttl_seconds / ttlSeconds and do not renew pools that never expire. BREAKING CHANGE: PoolSpec.ttl_seconds in /v1/pools responses is now an integer, the string "never", or null; the default pool and static Helm queue pools report "never" instead of null. POST /v1/pools rejects ttl_seconds 0 with 400 (it used to expire the pool at the next sweep), and an update that omits ttl_seconds no longer resets the pool to the default lease. Finish a rolling upgrade before creating a pool that never expires or has a lease longer than one hour: an older replica cannot read the former, caps leases at one hour, and can delete such a pool from its stale copy.

- Line 934: Update the pool lifetime documentation around PoolSpec.ttl_seconds
to distinguish operations: on create, an omitted or explicit null value uses the
gateway’s default 1200-second lease; on update, omitting ttl_seconds preserves
the pool’s current lifetime, while explicitly sending null applies the default
1200-second lease. Keep the existing numeric and "never" semantics unchanged.

- Line 113: Update the README table entry for SIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_TTL_S so the
trailing zero-value statement explicitly refers to setting
SIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_TTL_S=0, and state that the default applies after it is

| A pool spec may also carry `pinned_models` (a per-pool set of always-loaded models, default empty), chosen from the models the gateway already tracks (`GET /v1/configs/models`); ids may be profile-qualified (`model-name:profile_name`, the registry's `{base}:{profile}` variant entries, with `model:default` folding to the base). The API validates each id against the registry and stores it canonicalized. Every 30 seconds the gateway emits the complete `sie.gateway.pool.pinned_model.loaded{pool,model}` snapshot through its canonical OTel facade: the value is `1` only when a healthy worker assigned to that logical pool reports the model loaded, and removed pools or pins are explicitly zeroed. Actually keeping the models loaded (worker preload) and lazy-load/LRU using spare capacity around the pinned set are worker-side and tracked separately. Default empty leaves lazy-loading unchanged. | ||

| Creating a usable custom pool has two supported shapes. For a dynamic logical pool over base capacity, call `POST /v1/pools` with the logical name and GPU requirements and omit `queue_pool`; it defaults to `default`, so no additional Helm worker group is required. Pool `name` is user/dynamic. Non-default `queue_pool` is infra/admin: it must name a Helm-rendered `queuePool`/`SIE_POOL` backing lane declared under `queueRouting.staticQueuePools`. For a dedicated physical queue, first add that worker group to Helm values and declare the same name under `queueRouting.staticQueuePools`, then create logical pools with `queue_pool` set to that queue. Lease-owned dynamic pools expire after their TTL unless renewed with `POST /v1/pools/{name}/renew`. The gateway bounds API-created pools independently of auth: a `minimum_worker_count` whose total across the pool's machine profiles, or `gpus` requirements whose sum, exceeds `SIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_MINIMUM_WORKER_COUNT` (default 4) and `ttl_seconds` above `SIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_TTL_S` (default 3600) are rejected with `400 INVALID_REQUEST`, and a create beyond `SIE_GATEWAY_MAX_POOLS` live API-created pools (default 64) is rejected with `403 POOL_OPERATION_FORBIDDEN`. Pools restored from Kubernetes or applied from another replica are held to the same TTL and warm-floor caps when their lease expiry and KEDA warm floor are computed. An API-created pool's active lease keeps at most its `gpus` requirement per machine profile warm, and at most `SIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_MINIMUM_WORKER_COUNT` in total, however many workers it is assigned; a stored pool's per-lane warm floor is capped so its total fits the same budget.

Every pool has one lifetime rule, set by `PoolSpec.ttl_seconds`: a number of seconds is a lease that expires that long after the pool's last renewal; omitted (`null`) is the gateway's default 1200 s lease; `"never"` is no lease at all, so the pool lives until it is deleted. The `default` pool and static Helm queue pools carry `"never"` in their spec, so expiry, renewal, and the Kubernetes Lease follow the spec alone, with no per-kind special case: a pool with a lease gets a `coordination.k8s.io` Lease for crash-safe expiry, and a pool without one gets none (a leftover Lease is dropped rather than allowed to collect it). `POST /v1/pools/{name}/renew` restarts a lease and is a harmless no-op on a pool that never expires; the SDKs renew leased pools every 60 s while the client runs and do not renew pools that never expire. Changing only a pool's `ttl_seconds` keeps its assigned workers, and an update that omits `ttl_seconds` keeps the pool's current lifetime, so a client that re-posts a pool at startup cannot shorten one an admin made permanent; send a number to give it a lease again.

State which value the trailing "0 is ignored with a warning" sentence refers to.
This row describes two different zero values with opposite behavior:
- A request with
ttl_seconds: 0gets400 INVALID_REQUEST. The row says so earlier. - An environment value of
SIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_TTL_S=0is ignored with a warning, and the gateway uses the default.pool_limits_from_envinpackages/sie_gateway/src/config.rsdoes this.
The final sentence comes right after the "never" description and does not name its subject. A reader can take it to mean that a request with ttl_seconds: 0 is ignored, and that contradicts the 400 statement. Name the variable in that sentence.

Use a TTL-based interval for Python lease renewal.
The Python SDK accepts TTLs from 1 second, but both renewal loops wait 60 seconds before every renewal. The gateway accepts these TTLs and checks expiry every 60 seconds without enforcing a 60-second minimum. A pool with ttl_seconds below 60 can therefore expire while its client remains open.
Derive the renewal interval from the effective finite TTL, with a safety margin, for both sync and async renewal loops.

When ttlSeconds is 1–60, createPool accepts the value but waits 60 seconds before its first renewal. The gateway can expire the pool while this client remains open. Schedule renewals before the effective TTL expires, including after an update that shortens an existing pool’s TTL.

Why
Pools created through
POST /v1/poolscould live at most one hour after their last renewal (SIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_TTL_S, introduced in #393). An engineer who provisions a pool for a service, a demo, or a multi-day evaluation had to keep a client process renewing it. Infrastructure engineers set the compute envelope in Helm/Terraform (machine profiles, lanes, KEDAmaxReplicas); inside it, AI engineers should be able to provision pools that live as long as they need.What changes
Lifetime (with gateway auth on)
SIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_TTL_Sdefaults to2592000(30 days) instead of3600.ttl_secondsalso accepts"never": the pool has no lease and lives until it is deleted. SDKs do not renew it;POST /v1/pools/{name}/renewon it is a harmless no-op.ttl_seconds: 0is rejected with400(it used to delete the pool at the next sweep, the opposite of what someone sending0for "no expiry" means).ttl_secondskeeps the pool's current lifetime, so a service that re-posts its pool at startup (or usesSIEClient(pool=...)) cannot silently turn a permanent pool back into a 20-minute lease. Send a number to give a pool a lease again.Keeping #393's safety property where it matters
SIE_AUTH_MODE=token/static), every pool write already requires the admin token, soPoolLimits::for_pool_writes(true)allows"never"and the 30-day ceiling. With auth off (the Helm default), the ceiling stays at one hour and"never"gets403 POOL_OPERATION_FORBIDDEN, so one unauthenticated request still cannot hold warm capacity for long. An explicitSIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_TTL_Soverrides either default.SIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_MINIMUM_WORKER_COUNT, default 4) and count towardSIE_GATEWAY_MAX_POOLS(default 64).Simplification: one lifetime rule
PoolTtl = Seconds(u64) | NeverinPoolSpec.ttl_seconds. Thedefaultpool and static Helm queue pools now carry"never"in their spec, so a never-expiring API pool is the same kind of object as a static pool as far as lifetime goes.PoolManager::lease_seconds, decides expiry, renewal, and the Kubernetes Lease for every pool. The name-based "skip default / skip static" branches in the expiry sweep andrenew_poolare gone; the spec says it.coordination.k8s.ioLease. A leftover Lease (e.g. from before the pool became permanent) is dropped instead of being allowed to collect the pool. The orphan-Lease path reads the ConfigMap before deleting a pool this replica doesn't know, and leaves both alone if it cannot read it.ttl_secondson an existing pool no longer resets its assigned workers (it used to drop the pool topendingfor up to one reassignment cycle).lease_duration_s: f64field became au64constant.One key for pool management and traffic
SIE_ADMIN_TOKENwherever it accepts anSIE_AUTH_TOKENStoken. Before, a client that both created a pool and sent it traffic needed the admin token also listed inSIE_AUTH_TOKENS, because the SDKs carry one key. Admin-gated mutations still require the admin token only; an unset admin token adds no credential. This is a widening of what the admin token can do, not of who can do anything: only admin-token holders gain inference access they could already grant themselves.SDKs

Invalid values throwRangeError."never"is not renewed, and re-posting an existing pool as"never"stops its renewal loop.Warm floor vs. autoscaling (confirmed from code)
minimum_worker_countis only the always-on floor. Each worker lane's KEDA ScaledObject (deploy/helm/sie-cluster/templates/keda-scaledobject.yaml) runs betweenminReplicaCount(line 168) and the lane's HelmmaxReplicaCount(line 172); the HPA takes the largest of its triggers, so the warm-floor trigger (line 243) keeps N machines up while the pending-demand (line 209) and queue-depth (lines 217-224) triggers scale above it. Logical pool traffic is published onto its physical lane (handlers/proxy.rsqueue_pool_for_request), so it counts toward that lane's queue depth. A pool withoutgpu_capsis assigned every worker on its lanes (state/pool_manager.rsassign_workers,let take = workers.len().min(cap)), so it grows with the lane. The 4-worker budget caps the floor (check_pool_spec_limits,fit_warm_floor_to_budget) and the active-lease warm signal (leased_workers), not the scale-up. Documented in the gateway README, architecture guide, Helm README, and SDK docstrings.Compatibility
BREAKING CHANGE(per COMPATIBILITY.md, a response field's type changes):PoolSpec.ttl_secondsis now an integer,"never", ornull, and thedefaultpool and static Helm queue pools report"never"instead ofnull. The SDKs' types accept it; strictly typed third-party clients should regenerate fromopenapi.json.ttl_seconds: 0is rejected.An update that omits
ttl_secondsnow keeps the pool's lifetime instead of resetting it to the default lease.Rolling upgrade: an older gateway replica cannot parse a stored pool with
"never", so it keeps its previous in-memory copy of that pool, and it caps every lease at one hour. Its expiry sweep can therefore delete a pool that was just made permanent, or given a lease longer than an hour, once its stale copy lapses, and the ConfigMap deletion propagates to every replica. Finish the rollout before using either (upgrade note in the Helm README). A rollback leaves never-expiring pools' ConfigMaps in place, unread; re-upgrading restores them.Tests
mise run gateway-test(default andcloud-storagefeatures, against ephemeral NATS): 1850 / 1861 unit tests plus integration tests pass. New tests cover the wire format and stored-JSON round trip ofPoolTtl, never-expiring pools surviving the sweep and renewal, auth gating of"never"and of the TTL ceiling (unit and through the router), zero TTL, 7/30-day TTLs, updates without a TTL keeping the lifetime, TTL-only updates keeping workers, stored never-pools honoured on every replica, operator pools carrying"never", and the admin token on client routes (and an unset admin token adding no credential).cargo clippy --all-targets -D warnings,cargo fmt --check,mise run openapi(regeneratedopenapi.json).ruff,ty(mise run typecheck -- packages/sie_sdk),mise run lint.biome,tsctypecheck,mise run ts -- build;mise run test-integrations.mise run helm -- lint,tools/ci/tests/test_helm_render.py(552 passed).ttl_seconds, never deleting a pool whose ConfigMap cannot be read, and an accurate rolling-upgrade note. Its nits are addressed in the docs: use a client token for services that only send traffic, and thepool_limits_from_env(admin_gated)contract for library users. Not addressed: if someone else converts a"never"pool back to a finite TTL, a client that only ever saw it as"never"does not start renewing it.Summary by CodeRabbit
