Why

Pools created through POST /v1/pools could 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, KEDA maxReplicas); 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_S defaults to 2592000 (30 days) instead of 3600.
  • ttl_seconds also accepts "never": the pool has no lease and lives until it is deleted. SDKs do not renew it; POST /v1/pools/{name}/renew on it is a harmless no-op.
  • ttl_seconds: 0 is rejected with 400 (it used to delete the pool at the next sweep, the opposite of what someone sending 0 for "no expiry" means).
  • An update that omits ttl_seconds keeps the pool's current lifetime, so a service that re-posts its pool at startup (or uses SIEClient(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

  • Long-lived pools are an authenticated feature. With gateway auth on (SIE_AUTH_MODE=token/static), every pool write already requires the admin token, so PoolLimits::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" gets 403 POOL_OPERATION_FORBIDDEN, so one unauthenticated request still cannot hold warm capacity for long. An explicit SIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_TTL_S overrides either default.
  • Pools that never expire are still held to the warm-floor budget (SIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_MINIMUM_WORKER_COUNT, default 4) and count toward SIE_GATEWAY_MAX_POOLS (default 64).

Simplification: one lifetime rule

  • New PoolTtl = Seconds(u64) | Never in PoolSpec.ttl_seconds. The default pool 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.
  • One function, 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 and renew_pool are gone; the spec says it.
  • A pool without a lease gets no coordination.k8s.io Lease. 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.
  • Changing only ttl_seconds on an existing pool no longer resets its assigned workers (it used to drop the pool to pending for up to one reassignment cycle).
  • The unused lease_duration_s: f64 field became a u64 constant.

One key for pool management and traffic

  • The gateway now accepts SIE_ADMIN_TOKEN wherever it accepts an SIE_AUTH_TOKENS token. Before, a client that both created a pool and sent it traffic needed the admin token also listed in SIE_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

  • Python: create_pool(..., *, queue_pool=None, ttl_seconds=None) (sync and async), PoolTtl = int | Literal["never"] exported, PoolSpec/PoolSpecResponse gain ttl_seconds. Invalid values raise ValueError before any request.
  • TypeScript: CreatePoolOptions.ttlSeconds?: number | "never", PoolTtl exported, PoolSpec.ttl_seconds?: PoolTtl | null. Invalid values throw RangeError.
  • Both decide renewal from the gateway's response: a pool whose spec says "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_count is only the always-on floor. Each worker lane's KEDA ScaledObject (deploy/helm/sie-cluster/templates/keda-scaledobject.yaml) runs between minReplicaCount (line 168) and the lane's Helm maxReplicaCount (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.rs queue_pool_for_request), so it counts toward that lane's queue depth. A pool without gpu_caps is assigned every worker on its lanes (state/pool_manager.rs assign_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_seconds is now an integer, "never", or null, and the default pool and static Helm queue pools report "never" instead of null. The SDKs' types accept it; strictly typed third-party clients should regenerate from openapi.json. ttl_seconds: 0 is rejected.

An update that omits ttl_seconds now 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 and cloud-storage features, against ephemeral NATS): 1850 / 1861 unit tests plus integration tests pass. New tests cover the wire format and stored-JSON round trip of PoolTtl, 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 (regenerated openapi.json).
  • Python SDK: 1727 tests, ruff, ty (mise run typecheck -- packages/sie_sdk), mise run lint.
  • TypeScript SDK: 825 tests, biome, tsc typecheck, mise run ts -- build; mise run test-integrations.
  • Helm: mise run helm -- lint, tools/ci/tests/test_helm_render.py (552 passed).
  • An adversarial security review of the auth and lifetime changes ran before this PR. No blocking findings. Its should-fix items are addressed: the auth-dependent TTL ceiling, keeping the lifetime on updates that omit 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 the pool_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.
  • No GPU or cloud runs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Create pools with a positive lease duration or "never" for non-expiring pools.
    • Pool updates preserve existing expiration settings when omitted and stop renewal for non-expiring pools.
    • Gateway admin tokens can authenticate regular client requests.
    • Python, TypeScript, and asynchronous SDKs support pool expiration settings and lifecycle handling.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Invalid, zero, and over-limit lease durations are rejected with clear authorization or validation errors.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified pool limits, warm capacity, lease renewal, authentication, and static pool behavior.

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.

📝 Walkthrough

The gateway and Python and TypeScript SDKs now support finite-duration and non-expiring pools. The gateway validates TTL values and applies authentication-dependent limits. SDK clients send TTL settings and manage lease renewal according to the pool’s expiration state.

Changes: Pool lifetime management

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gateway TTL contract and authorization
packages/sie_gateway/src/types/pool.rs, packages/sie_gateway/src/handlers/pools.rs, packages/sie_gateway/src/config.rs, packages/sie_gateway/src/main.rs, packages/sie_gateway/src/middleware/auth.rs, packages/sie_gateway/src/server.rs, packages/sie_gateway/openapi.json
The gateway accepts positive integer TTLs or "never". It rejects zero and over-limit values, and requires token authentication for "never". The configured admin token also authenticates client requests.
Gateway lease and pool lifecycle
packages/sie_gateway/src/state/pool_manager.rs, packages/sie_gateway/src/state/k8s_pool_backend.rs, deploy/helm/sie-cluster/README.md, deploy/helm/sie-cluster/values.yaml, packages/sie_gateway/README.md, packages/sie_gateway/docs/architecture-guide.md
The pool manager synchronizes finite leases and removes leases for non-expiring pools. TTL-only updates preserve worker assignments, and omitted TTLs preserve the existing lifetime. Default and static pools use non-expiring TTLs. Documentation describes the limits, scaling behavior, and upgrade compatibility warning.
Python SDK pool TTL support
packages/sie_sdk/src/sie_sdk/types.py, packages/sie_sdk/src/sie_sdk/__init__.py, packages/sie_sdk/src/sie_sdk/client/_shared.py, packages/sie_sdk/src/sie_sdk/client/async_.py, packages/sie_sdk/src/sie_sdk/client/sync.py, packages/sie_sdk/tests/client/*
The Python SDK accepts and validates TTL settings, includes them in pool creation requests, and skips or stops renewal for non-expiring pools. Tests cover TTL validation, concurrent creation, and renewal cleanup.
TypeScript SDK pool TTL support
packages/sie_ts_sdk/src/types.ts, packages/sie_ts_sdk/src/index.ts, packages/sie_ts_sdk/src/client.ts, packages/sie_ts_sdk/tests/client.test.ts
The TypeScript SDK accepts and validates TTL settings, sends them in pool creation requests, and stops renewal for non-expiring pools. Tests cover invalid TTLs and renewal behavior.

Pools with finite and non-expiring lifetimes work as described. However, the Python and TypeScript SDKs accept lease durations shorter than one minute but renew only once per minute, so such a pool can disappear while its client is still running. Choosing a TTL of at least a few minutes avoids this. Two documentation passages also describe zero and omitted TTL values ambiguously. The change is mergeable once these are understood or addressed.

- Line 934: Update the pool lifetime documentation around PoolSpec.ttl_seconds
to distinguish operations: on create, an omitted or explicit null value uses the

the pool’s current lifetime, while explicitly sending null applies the default
1200-second lease. Keep the existing numeric and "never" semantics unchanged.

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. The live-pool cap is checked by the replica serving the create against every pool it knows, so concurrent creates on different replicas can briefly exceed it. `POST /v1/pools` refuses the name `default` with `403 POOL_OPERATION_FORBIDDEN`. The `default` pool and static Helm queue pools are operator-owned and exempt. Clients target either shape with an explicit `X-SIE-POOL` header, for example `X-SIE-POOL: customer-acme`, or SDK `gpu="customer-acme/l4"`. The `default` pool is protected and cannot be deleted. Missing named pools intentionally fail closed so capped/dynamic pool isolation is not weakened by a silent fallback.

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. The gateway accepts `"never"` only with gateway auth on (`SIE_AUTH_MODE=token`), where every pool write carries the admin token; with auth off it refuses it with `403 POOL_OPERATION_FORBIDDEN`, so one unauthenticated request cannot hold warm capacity indefinitely. A stored pool that never expires is kept by every replica, including one restored from Kubernetes. 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), a numeric `ttl_seconds` above `SIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_TTL_S` (by default 2592000, 30 days, with gateway auth on and 3600 with it off), and a `ttl_seconds` of `0` are rejected with `400 INVALID_REQUEST`, and a create beyond `SIE_GATEWAY_MAX_POOLS` live API-created pools (default 64, pools that never expire included) 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.

The lease of any stored pool with a lease, including one restored from Kubernetes, expires no later than this many seconds after its last renewal. `ttl_seconds: "never"` is outside this limit: it creates a pool without a lease that lives until it is deleted, and the gateway accepts it only with gateway auth on (`SIE_AUTH_MODE=token`, so the request carries the admin token); with auth off it is refused with `403 POOL_OPERATION_FORBIDDEN`. `0` is ignored with a warning |

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: 0 gets 400 INVALID_REQUEST. The row says so earlier.
  • An environment value of SIE_GATEWAY_POOL_MAX_TTL_S=0 is ignored with a warning, and the gateway uses the default. pool_limits_from_env in packages/sie_gateway/src/config.rs does 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.

Review comment at @packages/sie_gateway/README.md at 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 ignored with a warning. Preserve
the separate request behavior where ttl_seconds: 0 returns 400 INVALID_REQUEST.

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.

460 - 486:
Update both synchronous and asynchronous lease-renewal loops to derive their
wait interval from the pool’s effective finite TTL, using a safety margin so
renewal occurs before expiration; retain the existing 60-second default for
longer TTLs and skip renewal for POOL_TTL_NEVER pools. Locate the loop
implementations and reuse validate_pool_ttl’s accepted TTL semantics.

Schedule renewals before the accepted TTL expires.

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.

Review comment at @packages/sie_ts_sdk/src/client.ts at line 2378:
Update createPool and the renewal scheduling logic around ttlSeconds so the
first and subsequent renewals occur before the effective TTL expires, including
when an update shortens an existing pool’s TTL. Preserve validation for integer
TTL values of at least one second while deriving the renewal delay from the
current effective TTL rather than a fixed 60-second interval.
