Conversation
The restore step never checked that the pod it launched was admitted as a
restore. When it was not, the pod cold-started, served normally, passed
every downstream check, and the harness printed restore timings that were
really cold-start timings.
Rootfs/cachedir restore manifests carry nvsnap.io/restore-from:
"__CAPTURE_HASH__". Applying such a template without substituting leaves
the webhook nothing to resolve, so it injects no cache mount and no cache
env, and the workload fetches its model again. A 70B TP=4 "restore"
measured this way spent 8m47s downloading weights; the pod had no
/opt/nvsnap mount and HF_HOME still pointed at /root/.cache/huggingface.
The number looked plausible and was used to reason about restore
performance before the mistake surfaced.
Add two guards:
- refuse to apply a restore manifest that still contains __PLACEHOLDER__
- after creating the restore pod, assert the captured cache is mounted
and the cache env points into it; fail loudly when it is not
Both were checked against the saved spec of the pod that produced the bad
number, and both fire on it.
A restore benchmark that silently degrades to a cold start is worse than
one that fails, because the result is quotable.
Closes #964

Comment |
Four manifests declared nvsnap.io/path: "rootfs" while the agent, running with cachedir mode on, captured only the pod's cache mount. The label described a path that was not running. That mismatch is not cosmetic. Reading the annotation is the natural way to answer "which path did this use", and it gives the wrong answer, so analysis built on it is wrong from the start -- including a benchmark comparison this week that attributed a difference to capture path when both runs used the same one. Switch nim-qwen3-32b, vllm-tp2, vllm-70b and gpt-oss-120b to "cachedir", add that value alongside criu, and mark rootfs deprecated: no workload uses it. Also correct the descriptions that advertised whole-rootfs behaviour -- vllm-70b claimed to capture the overlay upperdir, which cachedir does not do. The annotation feeds the demo catalog and the criu conformance check; neither switches on "rootfs", so adding a value is safe. Co-Authored-By: Balaji Ganesan <bganesan@nvidia.com>
Capture ran whole-rootfs whenever --pod-cache-dir was unset. That path succeeds quietly: it produces a capture, restores work, and nothing looks wrong -- so a cluster that lost its cachedir setting keeps running while diverging from every workload and benchmark that assumes cachedir. The difference only surfaces later as restores that behave unlike the ones that were measured, which reads as a performance mystery rather than a misconfiguration. Refuse at startup instead, where an operator sees it, and say how to fix it: set --pod-cache-dir, or pass --allow-whole-rootfs to run that path deliberately. The override exists so this is a guard rather than a removal; a deployment that genuinely needs whole-rootfs is not blocked from a code change. Tests cover all three states: refusal without the flag, the opt-in getting past the guard, and capture-disabled staying a clean no-op so the guard cannot turn "no capture" into a startup failure.

Review found the guard could pass while the workload cold-started. It fell back to containers[0] when the named container was absent, so a decorated sidecar could vouch for a workload that was not restoring. It prefix-matched the cache path, so /opt/nvsnap-other satisfied a check for /opt/nvsnap. It treated missing cache env as acceptable, though a pod that inherited none of the stamped env is not restoring from anything. And it hardcoded /opt/nvsnap rather than reading the agent's configured --pod-cache-dir, so it asserted a default instead of the cluster's setup. Now: require the exact named container, require the configured cache dir to be mounted, require at least one cache variable, and accept a cache path only when it equals that dir or lies beneath it. Also use mktemp with an exit trap instead of a fixed /tmp path, which was open to a symlink swap, and drop a non-ASCII character from a log line. TestStartRootfsCapture_EnabledFailsWithoutKubeConfig was passing on the new whole-rootfs guard rather than the kube client it is named for. Give it a PodCacheDir so it reaches the kube client again, and assert it did not stop at the guard, so the coverage cannot vanish silently a second time. Verified against the saved spec of the pod that produced the bad measurement: still aborts, now for both the missing mount and the env pointing outside the cache dir.

Assert the kube-client error path directly.
The current assertion only rejects the whole-rootfs guard. A different early error could make this test pass without covering buildKubeClient. Assert that the error contains the existing rootfsonly: build kube client: prefix, or use a sentinel error if buildKubeClient provides one.

test-bench.sh had the same blind spot as test-e2e.sh: it substituted the
capture hash, applied the manifest, and measured whatever started. A pod
the webhook declined cold-starts, serves, and passes every check, so the
run produces restore timings for a cold start.
It matters more here. test-bench.sh appends its numbers to
docs/PDF-BENCH-RESULTS.md, including a "Restore: Model DL" column -- so a
cold start does not just mislead the operator, it gets published as a
benchmark row and quoted later.
Move the checks into scripts/lib/restore-guard.sh and source it from both
scripts, so the contract has one implementation rather than two that can
drift:
- assert_no_placeholders: refuse a manifest still carrying __PLACEHOLDER__
- agent_pod_cache_dir: read the deployed --pod-cache-dir instead of
assuming a default
- assert_restore_admitted: require the exact named container, the
configured cache dir mounted, and cache env
pointing at or beneath it
Verified against the saved spec of the pod that produced the bad
measurement: refuses for the missing mount and for the env pointing
outside, and refuses on an unconfigured cache dir or a wrong container
name.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Parse --pod-cache-dir as one argument.
The JSONPath expression renders the full args array. Line 38 captures all text after --pod-cache-dir= until a double quote. For example, [--pod-cache-dir=/opt/nvsnap --log-level=info] produces /opt/nvsnap --log-level=info].
assert_restore_admitted then fails its exact mount-path check for a valid restored pod. Render one argument per line, then select the exact --pod-cache-dir= argument.

Someone handed this suite had to read both scripts to learn which one to run, what the capture paths mean, why a run refuses to start, and how to force a re-capture. Write it down. The guards table is the part worth having: each entry exists because that check silently produced a wrong result before, so a guard firing is information rather than an obstacle. Documents only what this branch carries -- the capture-timeout guard belongs to a separate change and is left out until it lands. Also finish the refactor: test-e2e.sh still had its own copy of the placeholder check rather than calling the shared one, which was the duplication the shared lib was meant to remove.

Document the full restore-guard contract. The shared implementation in src/compute-plane-services/nvsnap/scripts/lib/restore-guard.sh:19-106 rejects any unresolved token matching __[A-Z_]+__, not only __CAPTURE_HASH__. It also fails when neither HF_HOME nor NIM_CACHE_PATH is present. Add both conditions to this table so operators can interpret guard failures correctly.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Use the deployed agent configuration and the relevant node in this diagnostic command. The shared helper reads --pod-cache-dir, but this command hardcodes /var/lib/containerd/nvsnap-cache. It also selects an arbitrary agent pod with head -1, while the README states that checkpoint data is node-local. On a cluster with a custom cache path or multiple agent pods, this can inspect the wrong location. Derive the cache directory from the DaemonSet and select the agent on the workload node.

…ituted The placeholder guard scanned the whole manifest, so a template that names its own placeholder in an explanatory comment failed even when every value was substituted correctly: 25: # test-e2e.sh substitutes __NODE_NAME__ from the source pod's status. ERROR: unsubstituted placeholder(s) above That rejected a correct vllm-small restore and failed a run that would otherwise have passed. A guard that blocks good runs is worse than the problem it was added for, and this one was caught by the first suite run rather than by me. Strip comments before matching. Verified both directions: a placeholder named only in a comment passes, a real unsubstituted value still fails, including when a comment on the same line mentions one.

Why
The restore step never checked that the pod it launched was actually admitted as a restore. When it was not, the pod cold-started, served normally, passed every downstream check, and the harness printed restore timings that were really cold-start timings.
Rootfs/cachedir restore manifests carry
nvsnap.io/restore-from: "__CAPTURE_HASH__", whichtest-e2e.shsubstitutes. Anything that applies the template without substituting -- a probe script, a manualkubectl apply, a future path that skips the sed -- leaves the placeholder. The webhook then has nothing to resolve, injects no cache mount and no cache env, and the workload fetches its model again.This is not hypothetical. A 70B TP=4 "restore" measured this way spent 8m47s downloading weights:
The pod had no
/opt/nvsnapmount andHF_HOMEstill pointed at/root/.cache/huggingface. The number looked plausible and was used to reason about restore performance before the mistake surfaced.What changed
Two guards in
test-e2e.sh:__PLACEHOLDER__text./opt/nvsnap, andHF_HOME/NIM_CACHE_PATHpointing into it. Fail loudly otherwise, printing the unresolvedrestore-fromannotation.The second guard is the important one: a placeholder is only one way to end up undecorated.
Customer Release Notes
Not customer visible.
Plan Summary
Not applicable.
Usage
No change to how the suite is invoked. A restore that is not a real restore now fails the run instead of reporting a time.
Testing
Both guards were verified against the saved pod spec that produced the bad measurement, and both fire on it:
bash -nclean. Not yet exercised against a live passing restore -- the next e2e run will confirm the guard does not false-positive on a correctly decorated pod. Flagging that rather than implying it is fully validated.Notes
The guard is scoped to the rootfs/cachedir path, where the injected-mount signature is well defined. The CRIU path has a different restore mechanism and is left alone.
This is the third issue this week with the same shape: a check that reports success while measuring or recording the wrong thing (the flat capture timeout, the zero-file capture commit, and now this). A restore benchmark that silently degrades to a cold start is worse than one that fails, because the result is quotable.
