osp-provider-runtime

Thin, boring runtime harness for OSP providers.

This package handles RabbitMQ message plumbing so provider implementations can focus on business logic.

What it does

  • Parses a versioned request envelope.
  • Builds provider RequestContext/ProviderRequest and calls execute(...).
  • Dispatches optional read-only provider assessment RPCs without task execution.
  • Emits canonical asynchronous task updates and synchronous control-RPC replies.
  • Applies explicit ack/requeue/dead-letter decisions.
  • Emits structured logs for delivery decisions.
  • Supports explicit runtime knobs for prefetch/concurrency/retries/transport timeouts/DLQ.
  • Accepts wire-version-7 request envelopes with task identity and cleared Gate fingerprints separated from provider action payload.
  • Provides ProviderIdentity so providers derive the same RabbitMQ queue/binding, routing prefix, and lane name from PROVIDER, PROVIDER_INSTANCE, and optional PROVIDER_INSTANCE_ID.

Provider identity

Use a provider family for permissions and API requests, then add an instance only when you need a separate runtime lane:

from osp_provider_runtime import ProviderIdentity

identity = ProviderIdentity(
    provider="nrec",
    instance="pr",
    instance_id=37,
)

identity.routing_prefix   # "nrec.pr.37"
identity.request_queue    # "provider.nrec.pr.37"
identity.request_binding  # "nrec.pr.37"

The common case stays small: ProviderIdentity("vmware", "dev") gives the vmware.dev routing prefix. Instance IDs refine routing within a lane.

Result payload conventions

Provider results should keep ProviderResult.data focused on the resolved values for the task. The runtime builds the full update payload envelope:

  • success: provider outcome flag; false still represents a completed no-op or degraded outcome
  • resolved: your ProviderResult.data (after runtime normalization)
  • provenance: optional; extracted from ProviderResult.data["provenance"]
  • produced_resources: typed provider-native references produced by the operation

Raise a ProviderError when the task should enter a failed lifecycle state. ProviderResult(success=False) does not turn a completed outcome into a task failure.

Special keys in ProviderResult.data:

  • progress_events (list): lifted into the update payload and removed from resolved to avoid duplicate TaskEvent rows.
  • provenance (dict): lifted into the top-level provenance field.

Providers may opt into live updates by accepting a keyword-only progress argument on execute. Use ProgressReporter so the same action also works without live delivery:

from osp_provider_contracts import ProducedResource, ProviderResult
from osp_provider_runtime import ProgressReporter


def execute(self, request, context, *, progress=None):
    reporter = ProgressReporter(progress)
    reporter.report("Creating virtual machine", {"stage": "openstack_create"})
    vm = create_virtual_machine(request)
    return ProviderResult(
        success=True,
        message="Virtual machine created",
        produced_resources=(ProducedResource(kind="vm", target_ref=vm.id),),
        data={"progress_events": reporter.events},
    )

With a callback, the event is published live and reporter.events stays empty. Without one, the event is returned through progress_events and the runtime expands it from the terminal update. This keeps each event on one delivery path. The callback is best-effort and transport-owned. request.action is the sole action source.

Cancellation

Cancellation RPCs (.cancellation.rpc) use their own <request_queue>.cancellation queue, channel and one-worker executor, so a slow resource listing or console read never delays a cancel.

  • Not started: a task delivered to this runtime but still waiting for a task worker is revoked by the runtime itself; no provider hook is needed. The RPC answers supported=true with cancellation={"cancellable": true, "requested": true}. When a worker picks the delivery up it does not call execute(): it publishes the normal terminal cancelled update (TaskReporter.STATUS_CANCELLED) and ACKs the delivery.
  • Running: stopping live work needs provider support. The runtime forwards to the optional task_cancellation(task_ref) / cancel_task(task_ref) hooks, which recheck backend state and stop the work (cooperative checkpoints or a native backend cancel). Providers without the hooks report unsupported cancellation.
  • Unknown to this runtime (still in the broker, or held by another replica): treated like a running task.

requested=true only records the stop request. The task's terminal update is the confirmation: a revoked task's update follows once a task worker frees up, and a running task must finish with TaskCancelled(ProviderResult(...)) after confirmed termination, retaining any surviving resource references.

Revocations live in memory. A revoked result enters the idempotency cache, so a redelivery of the same dispatch replays the cancellation. After a restart, unacknowledged deliveries return and run normally; the orchestrator still waits for a terminal update and a repeated cancel is safe.

Task logging

The runtime binds the task context once around execute() and emits one task.summary event when the delivery finishes. Provider log sinks must use JSON serialization so these fields are retained:

  • task_ref: stable provider execution UUID
  • dispatch_id: one delivery attempt
  • provider and task_type
  • step, outcome, and duration_ms
  • error.type, error.message, and error.code when applicable

Use task_step("external.operation") around meaningful external operations. It records the step in the summary trail and logs a full traceback before re-raising failures. Task code must not bind correlation fields itself.

from osp_provider_runtime import task_step

with task_step("openstack.create"):
    server = openstack.create_server(...)

Provider data is preserved inside result.resolved; its keys cannot override the shared result fields. Runtime extracts the existing progress_events and provenance metadata into their dedicated result fields.

The orchestrator already owns the original task request. Provider updates do not echo it; HTTP and CLI read models compose request and result when needed.

What it does not do

  • No provider framework.
  • No plugin system.
  • No workflow orchestration.

Install

pip install osp-provider-runtime

Development

env -u VIRTUAL_ENV uv sync --extra dev
hatch shell
hatch run dev:check
hatch run dev:build
hatch run dev:verify

Runtime Knobs

Set these via RuntimeConfig in your provider runtime_app.py:

  • prefetch_count (default 1)
  • concurrency (default 1)
  • max_attempts (default 5)
  • idempotency_cache_max_entries (default 1024)
  • snapshot_cache_ttl_seconds (default 3600)
  • dead_letter_exchange (optional)
  • dead_letter_routing_key (optional)
  • heartbeat_seconds (default 60)
  • blocked_connection_timeout_seconds (default 30)

Update Emission

Use TaskReporter for provider task lifecycle updates. The runtime keeps transport details compatible with orchestrator consumers.

Execution build evidence

The runtime adds payload.execution to live and terminal task updates. Each actual invocation gets a fresh attempt_id; cached duplicate deliveries replay the original update and identity. dispatch_id links the invocation to its orchestrator dispatch. Approval resumes and broker retries can run another build.

Deployment supplies OSP_IMAGE_DIGEST (registry manifest digest), OSP_GIT_COMMIT (the image's OCI revision label), and optional OSP_RELEASE_VERSION (a production release tag). Missing values are omitted, not inferred from moving tags or a package version. The progress callback captures the attempt evidence before it crosses worker-thread boundaries.

Providers with external data wrap execution in data_snapshot(path) and use pinned_data_dir() in their data path resolver. The deployment publisher writes .osp-revision into a retained immutable directory and switches its current symlink atomically. The runtime records that revision only when such a snapshot is used. Plain local working copies remain unversioned. This identifies code and provider data, not secrets, live infrastructure, inventory, or promotion state.

RuntimeConfig.control_concurrency sizes the independent control-RPC worker pool and its broker prefetch (default 1). Providers expose this as CONTROL_CONCURRENCY; 4 allows overlapping reads without increasing task execution concurrency. Delivery logs include worker wait, handler and finalization timings, correlated with the orchestrator by rpc_id.

Unexpected execution failures

unexpected_provider_error(exc, produced_resources=...) is the public conversion for adapter boundaries that must attach surviving resources before re-raising. It uses the runtime's task-step trail for failed_step, marks state uncertain, and forbids automatic retries. The transport catch-all uses the same function.
