📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

Telemetry configuration now uses tri-state enablement. Execute-agent jobs configure Intake ATIF telemetry by default, forward authentication headers, and collect bounded failure diagnostics. Fabric and Insights analyst paths activate Relay telemetry when supported. End-to-end tests poll Intake for recorded spans.

Telemetry configuration forwards delegated credentials through the agent execution environment. Agent-controlled subprocesses may read those credentials, creating an unresolved credential-exposure risk that should be addressed before merge.

64-64: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

A non-dict telemetry section is silently replaced, not left alone.

The docstring at lines 66-69 states an unrecognized section stays exactly as found. That holds for a dict with a bad key, because extra="forbid" raises. It does not hold for a non-dict value: telemetry: true or telemetry: "on" validates {} instead, and line 97 then overwrites the user's value with a wired section. The deployments path never validates the config, so the replacement is not reported anywhere.

Treat a non-dict section the same as a validation failure.

Two gaps the unit tests around configure_intake_atif_export cannot close.

The translator test puts the wired config through the real translator, so the
dict has to be a shape Fabric accepts rather than a plausible one: it must
parse into RelayHttpStorageConfig, keep header_env, and leave headers empty.
The shared fixture opts out of telemetry, which under the tri-state now means
something, so the test drops that key to describe a config that does not.

The e2e asserts the point of the feature: a job nobody configured an export
for still lands its trajectory in this workspace's Intake. It polls, because
ingest is asynchronous -- a job reporting completed does not mean the spans
are queryable yet.

Auto-wiring assumed every adapter could be instrumented by Relay. Fabric
rejects a relay config outright for one that cannot -- "adapter
`nvidia.fabric.insights-analyst` does not support `telemetry.providers` value
`relay`" -- so the feature turned "this agent cannot be traced" into "this
agent cannot run". The insights e2e caught it; a third-party adapter would
have hit the same wall.

Adapters advertise support in their descriptor's telemetry.providers block, so
read it from the plan before wiring. A plan that fails leaves the agent
untraced rather than guessing: the invocation reports that failure moments
later with its own diagnostics.

The second _validate_agent_config call reads as a stray assignment inside a
conditional. It is a re-validation: wiring mutates the config mapping, not the
model validated above, so without it the export would never reach what Fabric
is handed.

The adapter discarded its RuntimeContext, so it never saw the telemetry
Fabric prepared for it. Declaring relay support in the descriptor alone had
no effect: Relay is opt-in per adapter, and each bundled one integrates
differently -- hermes enables a plugin, claude runs a gateway and installs
hooks, codex merges the env into its subprocess. The Analyst is a fourth
shape, an in-process Nooa agent, and Nooa ships middleware for exactly this.

The adapter now activates the plugin config Fabric resolved and names the
scope; run_analyst_change_set wraps the agent run in it, because the scope
needs the agent object and that only exists there. Nothing about the
destination is decided in insights any more: the agents plugin wires the
export, Fabric resolves endpoint and credentials into a config file, and the
adapter activates it.

The direct-to-Intake self-observability path is deliberately untouched, so the
two can be compared before either is removed. It stays off for analysis runs.

Two tests arriving with the rebase pass None as the context, which only
worked while invoke discarded it. It now reads context.telemetry to decide
whether Relay is instrumenting the run, so None raises before the failure
they are actually asserting on.

They care about error logging, not telemetry, so hand them the same minimal
context the other tests build.

Three fixes from PR review, each verified by reverting the fix and watching a
test fail.

Deployments: configure_intake_atif_export mutated the config it was handed,
which is the caller's deployment entity. Since the wiring keeps an ATIF
endpoint it finds already present, a second deployment of the same entity
would have exported to the first one's workspace. Copy first, as the adjacent
rewrite_fabric_config_base_urls already does.

Insights adapter: the invocation's telemetry environment was applied and never
removed. The runtime is long-lived, so a leftover FABRIC_RELAY_CONFIG_PATH is
exactly the ambient-config hazard the bundled adapters guard against by name.
Apply it in a restoring scope.

Tests: the header variable written by _configure_intake_telemetry leaked into
every later test in the session, because monkeypatch can only restore what it
saw first. Register it before the call.

Workload-identity jobs will not authenticate this Relay request correctly. get_forwarding_headers() only copies the SDK's configured headers, while the workload-identity bearer token is added dynamically by the SDK's auth handler. As a result, this returns only X-NMP-Internal, and Relay's raw request to Intake will not include Authorization.

Could we provide Relay an equivalent workload-identity authentication path and add a test covering telemetry export with NMP_WORKLOAD_IDENTITY_TOKEN_FILE set?

The request field documents telemetry: false as “run untraced,” but this condition only disables automatic wiring. If the agent config already contains enabled telemetry, it is passed unchanged to Fabric and Relay still exports the trajectory.

Could we explicitly disable telemetry in the effective agent config when the request-level option is false, or change the documented contract if this is intended to mean only “disable auto-wiring”?

More of a nit but my agent called this out, this overrides an explicit ATIF opt-out. For example:

telemetry:
  enabled: true
  atif:
    enabled: false

is rewritten with atif.enabled: true and an Intake destination. Since the helper is intended to preserve explicitly declared telemetry configuration, could we return without wiring when telemetry.atif.enabled is explicitly false?

Suggested change
atif = dict(telemetry.atif or {})
atif = dict(telemetry.atif or {})
if atif.get("enabled") is False:
return False
atif["enabled"] = True

# config is the caller's deployment entity; rewrite_fabric_config_base_urls
# deep-copies for the same reason, and wiring runs before it.

This auto-wires Relay into every Fabric deployment without checking whether the selected adapter supports Relay and ATIF. Fabric rejects that telemetry configuration for adapters whose descriptors do not advertise those capabilities, so an otherwise valid custom adapter can become undeployable by default.

Could we apply the same capability guard used by the execute-job path here, including verifying that providers.relay.outputs contains atif, before modifying the configuration?

This introduces a direct runtime import of nemo_relay, but nemo-insights-plugin does not declare nemo-relay as a dependency. It is currently available only transitively in full platform environments through nemo-agents-plugin, so installing Insights independently can fail while importing this adapter.

Could we add the Relay package to plugins/nemo-insights/pyproject.toml, or make this an optional/lazy import if Relay support is intended to remain optional?
