Summary

A wheels-v1 environment package could not start a GRPO job on a cluster with no egress: the closure only covered what the server's requirements.txt named, and missed everything Gym installs implicitly. Each gap failed the job at spin-up, before any rollout.

RL change - soluwalana/RL#22

Related Issue

Changes

scripts/grpo-examples/gym_to_env_package.py now vendors four things it previously did not:

  • pip : uv venv --seed installs it into every per-server venv before any dependency install, resolving it like any other package
  • setuptools>=61, setuptools-scm : Gym's build-system.requires. Servers that resolve into the Gym tree take uv's editable branch and build nemo-gym from source, which needs a PEP 517 build environment
  • Marker-conditional deps (greenlet, …) : pip download --platform overrides wheel tags but not environment markers, so a resolve on the build host silently drops linux-only dependencies
  • [dev] extra : The image's own servers require nemo-gym[dev] (simple_agent/requirements.txt, vllm_model/pyproject.toml), which pulls pre-commit, mypy, ruff and the pytest set

Testing

Sandbox pod can install all deps without internet. Deployed the helm chart with sandbox_allow_internet=false

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Offline Gym environment status is detected and passed through training configurations for consistent package resolution.
    • Sandbox configurations support offline environment package resolution.
    • Offline package preparation builds compatible pure-Python wheels while respecting build limits.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Offline Gym and GRPO environments now include pip in vendored wheel packages, preventing installation failures in seeded virtual environments.
    • Download failures unrelated to missing distributions continue to be reported instead of silently bypassed.
  • Documentation

    • Updated dependency guidance and examples to reflect the required pip package and supported offline installation workflow.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The wheel vending script now supports source-only packages and enforces build limits. NeMo-RL propagates offline status from environment manifests. Documentation now requires pip in offline wheels-v1 packages. The RL base image uses a new pinned NeMo-RL revision.

Changes

Offline GRPO environment packaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Source-distribution fallback
scripts/grpo-examples/gym_to_env_package.py
vendor_wheels limits source builds, supports source-only packages, includes local wheels in resolution, and targets CPython during downloads.
Offline environment configuration
services/rl/src/nmp/rl/tasks/training/backends/nemo_rl/grpo_config.py, services/rl/src/nmp/rl/tasks/training/backends/nemo_rl/sandbox_config.py, docker-bake.hcl
Manifest loading detects offline formats, applies effective sandbox paths, forwards environment_offline, and updates the pinned NeMo-RL revision.
Seeded offline requirements
docs/customizer/grpo-training.mdx, docs/customizer/tutorials/grpo-environment-packages.mdx, plugins/nemo-customizer/src/nemo_customizer/skills/nemo-customizer/references/gym-environments.md
The documentation requires pip in offline wheelhouses because uv venv --seed installs it before other packages. Examples now download pip.

Suggested reviewers: soluwalana, mckornfield

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 2f295

Offline GRPO package generation now targets the intended CPython platform while preserving the pinned RL image source contract. No concrete current-head merge-blocking risk remains.
