lab-executor-mcp 2.35.1

Backend-independent experiment execution runtime for AI agents (split from visa-mcp v1.11)

lab-executor-mcp

Backend-independent experiment execution runtime for AI agents. Split from visa-mcp at v2.0.

⚠ Upgrading from visa-mcp v1.x? First read docs/v2_migration.md. 実機 backend が必要な既存利用者は pip install --upgrade visa-mcp が 互換経路 (v2.0 では visa-mcp v2.0 release を待つ必要あり)。

Line-ending / raw display note (v2.5.1 強化):

Some third-party viewers and LLM-based fetchers occasionally report repository files as "1 line" / "collapsed" when reading raw.githubusercontent.com. This is a viewer-side artifact, not a repository defect. The repository stores all text as LF.

Ground truth lives in RELEASE_VERIFICATION.md — a tag-time generated manifest listing each critical file's exact bytes / LF / CR / BOM counts. Any reviewer can run:

git clone --branch v2.5.1 https://github.com/TECTOS-JP/lab-executor-mcp.git
cd lab-executor-mcp
python scripts/release_verification.py --check
# expect: "OK" + exit 0  (CR=0, LF>=10, no BOM for every critical file)

If your viewer disagrees with the manifest, your viewer is wrong. CI also enforces this via tests/test_v200_split.py::test_critical_files_are_multiline_and_lf_only.

What it provides

• DSL (ExperimentPlan, dsl_version=0.8) + validator + dry-run
• Job manager / state machine / scheduler / barrier
• Observation API (timeline / live_view / summary)
• Benchmark runner (MockBackend, PyVISA 不要)
• Definition pack ecosystem (extension init/install/check/package/...)
• Instrument authoring (instrument scaffold/promote-check/review-report)
• Export / bundle (deterministic reproducibility) — export_experiment_bundle
• MCP tool surface: Stable 43 + Experimental 7 = 50 (v1.0 から不変)

MCP API の安定性ポリシー (Stable / Experimental tool の区分、deprecation 方針) は docs/v1_stability_policy.md を参照。

Install

pip install lab-executor-mcp

PyVISA は 必須ではない。実機 backend が必要な場合は visa-mcp を install すると自動的に lab-executor-mcp も入る。

pip install visa-mcp     # PyVISA backend + lab-executor-mcp runtime

Extension path behavior (v2.4)

v2.4 introduces dual-path read for installed extension packs while keeping the write default unchanged (legacy ~/.visa-mcp/extensions/). Duplicate extension_id across both paths is not auto-resolved: it is reported as a warning (or error with --strict).

Aspect	v2.4 behavior
Read (catalog / check)	~/.lab-executor/extensions/ and ~/.visa-mcp/extensions/
Write (install) default	~/.visa-mcp/extensions/ (unchanged)
Duplicate extension_id	warning by default, error with --strict
Auto-precedence	none — duplicates are never silently resolved
Policy id	duplicate_policy = report_conflict_no_implicit_precedence

The default install target will be re-evaluated in v2.5+. v2.4 is a reporting phase — it sees both paths, but never picks one implicitly. Inspect the resolver state with:

lab-executor extension paths --json

v2.5 adds lab-executor extension migration-plan (plan only, no file changes) and the resolve_extension_by_id() API (duplicate extension_id raises ExtensionResolveError). See docs/extension_path_migration.md for the full migration guide and roadmap (v2.6 copy-plan → v2.7 controlled apply → v2.8 default switch).

How to start the server (v2.1+)

用途	コマンド	PyVISA	backend
Mock / dry-run / benchmark / validation	lab-executor serve --backend mock	不要	MockBackend
実機 (PyVISA 経由)	visa-mcp serve	必要	PyVisaBackend (visa-mcp 同梱)

Quick examples

# 1) Server を compose して tool 一覧を確認する (transport 起動なし)
lab-executor serve --backend mock --dry-run

# 2) 実 transport を起動 (Claude Code / MCP client から接続)
lab-executor serve --backend mock

# 3) Extension pack を検証
lab-executor validate extension my_pack/extension.yaml --strict
lab-executor extension doctor my_pack/

# 4) Package + verify
lab-executor extension package my_pack/ --output my_pack.visa-mcp-ext.zip
lab-executor extension verify-package my_pack.visa-mcp-ext.zip

# 5) Install + lifecycle (v2.3+)
lab-executor extension install my_pack.visa-mcp-ext.zip --dry-run
lab-executor extension install my_pack.visa-mcp-ext.zip
lab-executor extension catalog          # installed pack 一覧
lab-executor extension check            # checksum / manifest 検査
lab-executor extension paths            # install path resolver 状態

Exit code policy (v2.1.1)

Subcommand	exit 0	exit 1	exit 2
serve	server 起動 / --dry-run 成功	—	--backend 未指定 / 不正
validate {instrument,extension}	errors == 0	errors > 0	usage error
extension doctor	status == "ok"	warnings / errors あり	usage error
extension package	package 成功	失敗	usage error
extension verify-package	checksums OK	mismatch / 不正	usage error
extension init	pack 生成成功	失敗	usage error
extension install	install 成功 / --dry-run 成功	verify 失敗 / 書き込み失敗	usage error
extension check	OK (warning も exit 0)	error あり、または --strict で warning	usage error
extension catalog	一覧出力 (空でも exit 0)	内部 error	usage error
extension paths	出力成功	—	usage error
instrument scaffold	YAML 生成成功	失敗	usage error
instrument review-report	markdown 出力成功	file 不在等の error	usage error
diagnose tool-surface	status == "ok" または warning + --strict 無し	warning + --strict	usage error

doctor は warning だけでも exit 1 になります (CI で fail させる 強い gate として設計)。warning を許容したい場合は doctor 出力を --json で取り、errors のみを判定してください。

Notes

• lab-executor serve は --backend mock が必須 (引数なしは exit 2 で visa-mcp serve への案内)
• 他 backend (REST / replay / plugin) は v2.2+ で検討
• runtime 内部の JobManager は v2.1 時点で visa= 引数名を受け取る (v1.x からの互換維持)。v2.2+ で backend= への rename を検討予定

CLI status in v2.3

v2.3.1 までに活性化された範囲:

v2.1.0:

• lab-executor --version / --help
• lab-executor serve --backend mock (MockBackend で MCP server 起動)
• lab-executor serve --backend mock --dry-run
• lab-executor validate instrument <path>
• lab-executor validate extension <path>
• lab-executor extension doctor <pack_dir>
• lab-executor extension package <pack_dir>
• lab-executor extension verify-package <zip>

v2.2.0:

• lab-executor extension init <dir> (pack scaffold 生成)
• lab-executor instrument scaffold <category>
• lab-executor instrument promote-check <yaml>
• lab-executor instrument review-report <yaml>
• lab-executor diagnose tool-surface (Stable 43 + Experimental 7 検査)

v2.3.0:

• lab-executor extension install <zip> (--dry-run / --force / --skip-verify)
• lab-executor extension check (--extension-id / --strict)
• lab-executor extension catalog (install 済 pack 一覧)
• lab-executor extension paths (path resolver 状態 / --json)

--skip-verify の取り扱い (重要)

extension install --skip-verify は test 用途専用。信頼できない 配布物 (第三者 zip / 外部レジストリ pull) には 絶対に使わないこと。 checksum 検証を skip するため、tampering 検出ができなくなる。

--dry-run semantics (v2.3)

extension install --dry-run は v2.3 時点で package verify のみ を 実行する。install 済 extension_id の重複検査や install path への 書き込み権限確認は行わない (v2.4+ で検討)。

v2.4+ で port 予定 / 検討中

• extension uninstall (.install_meta.json ベースの安全削除)
• extension list-installed (catalog のエイリアス整理)
• 他 backend (REST / replay / plugin) の --backend choice 追加
• default_extensions_dir の source of truth を extension_paths .get_extension_paths().current_default に統合 (現状は 2 系統存在)

実機 backend を起動する経路は引き続き visa-mcp serve (visa-mcp v2.0+ を install)。

v2.0 split

• v1.x までは visa-mcp 1 リポジトリで提供されていた
• v2.0 で backend (visa-mcp) と runtime (lab-executor-mcp) を分離
• MCP tool / DSL schema / extension pack 形式は完全互換
• 旧 from visa_mcp.extension import ... は v2.0 で DeprecationWarning 付きで動作
