Summary

Fix the Customizer container regressions exposed by Platform-Deploy by running Customizer task steps on the selected container execution profiles, tolerating job-storage path skew between compiled configs and runtime mounts, and preserving persistent job storage until the final platform step. Before, a successful intermediate download step could be cleaned up and delete the shared job directory before training; after, task storage remains per-step while persistent job storage is removed only when final-step cleanup is eligible.

Rebase note: the earlier model-spec serialization commit was dropped during the rebase because Aaron Gabow's merged PR #1747 (fix: address model spec crash) now covers that issue on main.

Changes

  • Forward Automodel compile profile into the canonical compiler and apply resolved profiles to Automodel task steps.
  • Apply the resolved Unsloth profile to download, training, upload, and model-entity task steps.
  • Add shared customization path helpers that read current and legacy job-storage env vars and remap known job-storage roots to the mounted runtime path.
  • Normalize Automodel and Unsloth training config paths before training consumes them, including compatible storage env lookup in the Unsloth entrypoint.
  • Add persistent-storage cleanup eligibility so Docker, Kubernetes Job, and Volcano cleanup cannot delete shared job storage from an intermediate successful step.
  • Centralize step-spec-name lookup and final-step detection in jobs entities so cleanup code does not duplicate controller step-order logic.
  • Add regression tests for task-step profile propagation, path skew handling, compatible storage env aliases, and final-step-only persistent storage cleanup.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change converts core ModelSpec instances before plugin validation, propagates execution profiles to generated task steps, remaps current and legacy job-storage paths, and restricts persistent-storage cleanup to eligible job steps.

Changes

ModelSpec conversion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add ModelSpec conversion helper
services/core/models/src/nmp/core/models/tasks/model_spec/run.py, services/core/models/tests/unit/tasks/model_spec/test_run.py
The helper serializes a core ModelSpec before constructing a plugin ModelSpec. Model updates use the helper, and tests verify validation and field preservation.

Compiler profile propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve profiles in the AutoModel compiler
services/automodel/src/nmp/automodel/compile.py, services/automodel/src/nmp/automodel/app/jobs/compiler.py, services/automodel/tests/test_compiler.py
The compiler forwards optional job_name and profile values, resolves the requested or default profile, and applies it to generated task steps.
Resolve profiles in the Unsloth compiler
services/unsloth/src/nmp/unsloth/app/jobs/compiler.py, services/unsloth/tests/test_compiler_validation_path.py
The compiler applies the requested or default profile to download, training, upload, and model-entity steps. The test verifies propagation.

Storage path normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve and remap job storage paths
packages/nmp_customization_common/src/nmp/customization_common/service/path_utils.py, packages/nmp_customization_common/src/nmp/customization_common/service/context.py, packages/nmp_customization_common/src/nmp/customization_common/tasks/file_io_utils.py, packages/nmp_customization_common/tests/tasks/test_file_io_utils.py, services/automodel/tests/test_job_context.py
Shared utilities resolve current and legacy environment variables and remap recognized job-storage roots. Job context and safe-path validation use the resolved paths.
Normalize AutoModel training paths
services/automodel/src/nmp/automodel/tasks/training/runner.py, services/automodel/tests/tasks/training/test_runner.py
Training configuration loading remaps model, dataset, teacher-model, workspace, and output paths. Tests verify the normalized configuration.
Normalize Unsloth training paths
services/unsloth/src/nmp/unsloth/tasks/training/__main__.py, services/unsloth/tests/test_main.py
The training entrypoint remaps model, dataset, validation, and output paths before calling train_sft. Tests verify the runtime paths.

Persistent-storage cleanup eligibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add step-aware cleanup eligibility
services/core/jobs/src/nmp/core/jobs/controllers/backends/base.py
JobBackend permits persistent-storage cleanup for missing entities, jobs without configured steps, and final configured steps after terminal-state checks. Intermediate steps remain protected.
Apply eligibility across backends
services/core/jobs/src/nmp/core/jobs/controllers/backends/docker.py, services/core/jobs/src/nmp/core/jobs/controllers/backends/kubernetes/...
Docker, Kubernetes, and Volcano cleanup paths use step-aware eligibility checks and include step names in skip logs.
Validate backend cleanup behavior
services/core/jobs/tests/controllers/test_docker_backend.py, services/core/jobs/tests/controllers/test_kubernetes_backend.py, services/core/jobs/tests/controllers/test_volcano_backend.py
Tests cover intermediate-step retention, final-step cleanup, orphaned entities, and step-specific eligibility calls.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 21089

The PR prevents normal intermediate steps from deleting shared job storage, but certain missing-step and cleanup-failure paths can still remove the workload without reliably proving final-step ownership or preserving a recovery path. This can cause premature loss of training data or leave persistent job data behind, so merge requires explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

- Around line 471-473: Update the cleanup logic around
check_job_persistent_storage_cleanup_allowed so a False result caused by the
aggregate job not yet being terminal preserves a retryable cleanup record for
the final step before deleting the Volcano job. Continue denying cleanup without
retaining a retry record for genuinely non-final steps.
