Summary

An agent can be deployed from a GitHub repository, and a repository moves. Until now a deployment did not record which commit it was actually running, so nothing could answer "is this agent up to date with its source?".

AgentDeployment now records the revision of the agent's source fileset it staged, and the mutable ref that revision came from.

Changes

  • AgentDeployment.spec_revision / spec_tracked_revision — the immutable id staged (a GitHub commit SHA) and the ref it was resolved from (main). Both empty when the backend pins nothing, or when the fileset was created from an immutable id.
  • spec_revision.pyread_spec_revision and stage_with_spec_revision, shared by the deployment-create path and both runner backends. The tracked-ref rule is read from the storage config rather than restated here.
  • DeploymentInfo.staged_spec, written onto the entity by the controller on every start.

Why it is not recorded once at create time

Both runner backends download the agent's fileset by name when they start a deployment, so a revision captured once at create time is a claim rather than a pin. A deployment restarted after the fileset is refreshed — a controller restart is enough — restages the newer commit while the entity still names the old one. That is precisely when the answer needs to be true.

Staging therefore reports what it resolved, and the controller rewrites the fields on every start. staged_spec = None means the backend staged nothing, which is deliberately distinct from staging a fileset that pins no revision, so a non-Fabric deployment keeps the value it was created with.

Known limitation

The download and the revision read are two calls, so a refresh landing between them would record a commit the deployment did not stage. Staging reads the revision either side of the download and stages again when it moved, which is as close to atomic as the current download path allows.

Closing it properly needs the fileset download to accept or report a revision, so staging can pin what it downloads instead of observing it. That is a files-service change and is not in scope here.

Type of Change

  • Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
  • Code change with documentation updates
  • Documentation only
  • Contributor tooling or automation
  • CI, build, or test infrastructure

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
  • Tests not applicable — justification:
  • Documentation updated for user-visible behavior
  • Documentation not applicable — justification: no user-facing surface changes; the two new fields are described in the generated OpenAPI spec.

Verification

  • Pull request title follows the repository's Conventional Commit format
  • Every commit includes an appropriate Signed-off-by: trailer
  • uv run pre-commit run -a passes, or any blocked checks are identified below
  • Targeted tests pass, or tests are marked not applicable above
  • No secrets, API keys, or credentials are included

Targeted validation:

  • pytest plugins/nemo-agents/tests — 1497 passed. Excludes test_container.py and test_fabric_package_validation.py, which need a dist/ directory this checkout does not have; both files and the container/ source are untouched here.
  • pytest services/core/files/tests — 669 passed, 51 skipped.
  • ruff check / ruff format --check — clean. ty passes via the pre-commit hook on every commit.
  • uv run pre-commit run -a — not run in full. helm-docs is not installed here and uv-lock requires uv 0.9.14 against 0.9.30 locally; both pass in CI. Every other hook runs on each commit.

Run each test directory separately. Passing several to pytest in one invocation silently collects only some of them — services/core/files/tests plugins/nemo-agents/tests collects 708 tests, which is the files suite alone. That is how a break in the runner tests went unnoticed while the combined command reported green.

Closes ASTD-604. Part of ASTD-519.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Deployments now record the staged agent specification’s pinned and tracked revisions.
    • Revision metadata is preserved across deployment staging and startup.
    • Specifications that change during staging are restaged once to verify consistent revision information.
    • Missing or unavailable revision data no longer blocks deployment; metadata defaults to empty values.
    • Optional file-service setup can now fail gracefully without preventing deployment.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for revision tracking, pinned specifications, changing filesets, and unavailable file services.

`AgentDeployment` gains `spec_revision` and `spec_tracked_revision`: the
revision its spec fileset resolved to, and the mutable ref that revision was
resolved from.

Both runner backends download the Ethos fileset by name when they start a
deployment, so a revision recorded once at create time is a claim, not a pin. A
deployment restarted after a fileset refresh — a controller restart is enough —
restages the new revision while the entity still names the old one, which is
exactly when a client asking "up to date or behind?" needs the answer to be
true. Staging therefore reports what it resolved, `DeploymentInfo` carries it,
and the controller writes it on every start. `staged_spec = None` means the
backend staged nothing, which is not the same as staging a fileset that pins no
revision, so a non-Fabric deployment keeps the value it was created with.

The download and the revision read are two calls, so a refresh landing between
them would record a revision the deployment did not stage. Staging reads the
revision either side of the download and stages again when it moved; pinning it
outright needs a revision-aware download path, which the files service does not
have today.

Reading the revision must never fail a deployment, so a files client that
cannot be built costs the deployment its recorded revision and nothing else.

Depends on the storage-config `pinned_revision` / `tracked_revision` accessors
from ASTD-592.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Deployment creation and staging now capture specification revisions and tracked references. The metadata is stored on AgentDeployment, exposed through OpenAPI, propagated by deployment backends, and validated by unit tests.

In `@plugins/nemo-agents/src/nemo_agents_plugin/api/v2/dependencies.py`:
- Line 20: Update the files-client adaptation around client_from_platform in the
dependency setup so adapter exceptions are handled best-effort instead of
escaping and preventing create_deployment from running. Preserve deployment when
adaptation fails, matching the optional behavior of spec_revision._files_client.

In `@plugins/nemo-agents/tests/unit/test_spec_revision.py`:
- Line 68: Update the revision handling around stage() so a revision changing
after the retry is not accepted as provenance: when settled differs from after,
return empty provenance or retry/fail instead of returning settled. Update the
assertion in test_spec_revision to require the rejected behavior.

Two paths contradicted the rule that recording a revision is best-effort.

`get_files_client` let a `client_from_platform` failure escape as a 500 and
block an otherwise valid deployment, while the runner treated the same failure
as simply having nothing to record. The dependency now returns None instead, and
`read_spec_revision` reports nothing when handed one.

Staging also returned the revision read after the retry even when it had moved
again — a third revision that neither staging pass produced. That is the failure
this function exists to prevent, so it now records nothing and says so. A wrong
revision is worse than none for a client asking whether a deployment is stale.
