Volcano Python SDK

Use the Volcano Python SDK to access authentication, databases, storage, functions, locks, logs, and realtime events. Requires Python 3.11 or later.

Start with the Python quickstart.

Install

python -m pip install volcano-sdk-python

The PyPI distribution is named volcano-sdk-python; import it as volcano_sdk. The installed package includes inline type information for mypy and other PEP 561-compatible type checkers.

Try the contract facade

The REST facade is synchronous. Create one client, sign in, and use the stored session for database and storage requests. Configure a service key for locks.

from volcano_sdk import VolcanoClient

client = VolcanoClient(
    api_url="https://api.volcano.dev",
    anon_key="your-anon-key",
    service_key="your-service-key",
)

sign_up = client.auth.sign_up(
    email="new-user@example.com",
    password="secret",
    metadata={"display_name": "New User"},
)
if sign_up.confirmation_required:
    print(sign_up.message)

session = client.auth.sign_in(email="user@example.com", password="secret")
current_session = client.auth.get_session()
assert current_session == session

user = client.auth.get_user()
assert user.id == session.user_id

updated_user = client.auth.update_user(
    password="new-secret",
    metadata={"display_name": "Grace", "avatar": None},
)
assert updated_user.id == session.user_id

function = client.functions.invoke(
    "send-welcome",
    {"user_id": session.user_id},
)
print(function.status, function.version, function.data)

logs = client.logs.search(
    "00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000001",
    {"resource": {"type": "function"}, "limit": 100},
)
for event in logs.data:
    print(event["timestamp"], event["body"])

activity = client.logs.activity(
    "00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000001",
    {"resource": {"type": "function"}, "bucket_count": 24},
)
print(activity.total)

rows = client.database("main").from_("items").select("*").eq("slug", "a").execute()

bucket = client.storage.from_("assets")
bucket.upload("a.txt", b"hello", content_type="text/plain; charset=utf-8")
with open("avatar.png", "rb") as avatar:
    bucket.upload("avatars/me.png", avatar)

assert downloaded == b"hello"
first_kibibyte = bucket.download("archive.bin", byte_range="bytes=0-1023")

)

upload_session = bucket.create_upload_session(
    "videos/demo.mp4",
    total_size=len(video),
    content_type="video/mp4",
    part_size=8_388_608,
)
print(upload_session.session_id, upload_session.total_parts)
part = bucket.upload_part(
    "videos/demo.mp4",
    session_id=upload_session.session_id,
    part_number=1,
    data=video,
)
print(part.etag)
status = bucket.get_upload_session(

    session_id=upload_session.session_id,

page = bucket.list("avatars", limit=100)
for object_ in page.objects:
    print(object_.name)

if page.next_cursor is not None:
    next_page = bucket.list("avatars", limit=100, cursor=page.next_cursor)

removed_paths = bucket.remove(["archive/a.txt", "archive/b.txt"])
moved = bucket.move("drafts/a.txt", "published/a.txt")

print(public_url)

state = client.locks.get("build")
print(state.held)
lease = client.locks.acquire("build", ttl=30)
lease = client.locks.renew("build", lease, ttl=30)
client.locks.release("build", lease)
client.locks.force_release("stale-build")

with client.locks.with_lock("deploy", ttl=30) as guard:
    print(guard.lease.fencing_token)

Function invocation returns data=None for an empty HTTP 204 response, retaining the status, headers, and version.

Simple uploads accept an optional content_type for the multipart file part. Omit it or pass None to retain application/octet-stream. Explicit values must be non-blank printable ASCII; MIME parameters such as charset=utf-8 are allowed.

Storage removals run in input order. A failed request raises after any earlier paths have already been deleted. Visibility updates return the server-confirmed object; public_url is set only when the object is public. get_public_url() constructs a URL locally and does not check object visibility. Pass an HTTP byte range to download only part of an object. create_upload_session() returns the immutable server-selected part size, part count, and expiration time for a resumable upload. upload_resumable() accepts bytes or a binary file-like object, creates a session, and uploads server-sized chunks. It streams seekable files directly; non-seekable inputs are spooled to a temporary file with bounded reads. If a part or progress callback fails, it makes a best-effort abort and raises the original error. on_progress runs after each successful part with cumulative uploaded bytes and the total size. upload_part() returns immutable part metadata and can safely retry the same part number to replace that part. Acquisition accepts caller-owned UUID token and request_id values and retries an ambiguous transport failure or HTTP 503 once with the same request and credential. Retain those IDs to recover an uncertain acquisition. Other lock methods accept request_id; block-scoped helpers forward initial IDs only to acquisition. See the lock guide for examples and fencing requirements.

locks.get() returns immutable lock availability, expiry, and fencing-token state without acquiring the lock. Lock acquisition and renewal require an integer TTL from 5 seconds through 90 days. locks.renew() returns a new immutable lease and leaves the previous value unchanged. locks.with_lock() renews the lease on a background thread, stops renewal before releasing the latest lease, and yields a LockGuard. Read guard.lease for the latest fencing token. Check guard.lost or call guard.wait_lost(timeout=...) when work must stop promptly after ownership is lost. If the context body succeeds, a renewal failure is raised after release; an exception from the body takes precedence. locks.force_release() drops any current lease without an ownership token. Use it only for administrative recovery behind fencing-token enforcement. get_upload_session() returns immutable progress and uploaded-part metadata for resuming an interrupted upload. complete_upload_session() assembles the uploaded parts and returns the stored object. abort_upload_session(path, session_id=...) abandons a session and discards its uploaded parts.

functions.invoke() resolves a DNS-safe function name and sends a JSON object. The request goes to the function's own domain rather than to api_url, so an egress rule that allows only the API host will block it; the resolved endpoint is cached for the lifetime the platform gives it. Deployments with no public function domain invoke through the API host instead. It uses the active user session when present, then a configured service key, then the anonymous key. An anonymous key can invoke a public function without a user session; the function receives no user identity. The immutable result includes the response body, status, headers, and X-Volcano-Version. The body can be a JSON object, array, scalar, or text; an empty body returns None. JSON arrays become immutable tuples. Invalid JSON is returned as text. A function's own non-2xx response is returned when the version header proves it ran; platform failures raise typed SDK errors.

logs.search() returns an immutable page of retained runtime or deployment log events. Pass next_cursor back as cursor to continue a search. logs.activity() returns immutable time buckets using the same resource selector and query syntax. Both methods require an active user session.

Database selects, inserts, updates, deletes, log reads, and authenticated storage requests (including upload sessions and parts) refresh the captured session after an HTTP 401 and retry the same request once. Concurrent requests reuse a successful refresh for that session. Replacing or signing out the session before replay, or while replay is in flight, raises SessionChangedError. Requests do not wait for auth callbacks running on another thread. A later callback-driven session change does not invalidate a completed request. A failed refresh preserves the original request error. HTTP 403 responses and network failures do not trigger this retry. Mutations are replayed only after an explicit authentication rejection, never after an ambiguous transport failure.

Database builders are immutable, so you can safely reuse a base query. Chain neq(), gt(), gte(), lt(), and lte() for comparison filters:

base_query = client.database("main").from_("items").select("id", "priority")
rows = (
    base_query.gte("priority", 3)
    .lt("priority", 10)
    .order("priority", ascending=False)
    .order("id")
    .limit(10)
    .offset(20)
    .execute()
)

matching_rows = (
    client.database("main")
    .from_("items")
    .select("*")
    .ilike("name", "%volcano%")
    .is_("deleted_at", None)
    .in_("status", ["draft", "published"])
    .execute()
)

inserted_rows = (
    client.database("main")
    .from_("items")
    .insert({"name": "Volcano", "status": "draft"})
    .execute()
)

updated_rows = (
    client.database("main")
    .from_("items")
    .update({"status": "published"})
    .eq("name", "Volcano")
    .execute()
)

deleted_rows = (
    client.database("main").from_("items").delete().eq("name", "Volcano").execute()
)

Updates and deletes require at least one filter; Volcano rejects filterless mutations.

Use database_connection_string() inside a Volcano function to select database access without changing the advertised DATABASE_URL target:

import os

from volcano_sdk import database_connection_string

connection_string = database_connection_string(
    os.environ["DATABASE_URL"],
    user_id=event.get("__volcano_auth", {}).get("user_id"),
)

Pass a user ID to enforce that user's Row-Level Security policies. Omit user_id for full service access. The helper preserves libpq connection syntax, including hostless and multi-host targets, and leaves unrelated query values unchanged.

sign_up() returns an immutable acknowledgement without changing the session by default. The signup acknowledgement is identical for new and existing email addresses. Pass sign_in_when_allowed=True to follow it with sign_in() only when confirmation is not required:

result = client.auth.sign_up(
    email="new-user@example.com", password="secret", sign_in_when_allowed=True
)
session = result.session  # None when no follow-up sign-in ran.

A successful follow-up stores the session and emits the normal sign-in event. A failed follow-up raises its usual typed error; it does not undo the successful signup.

get_session() reads immutable local state. It does not refresh or validate the token.

Sessions returned by authentication retain the user payload in session.user, including metadata. The snapshot is deeply immutable and available without a request. It is cached data, not proof of authentication; use auth.get_user() to fetch the server-validated profile. Existing three-field Session construction still works, with user=None. An adopted snapshot must have the same user ID. Successful get_user(), update_user(), convert_anonymous(), and confirm_email_change() calls update that local snapshot without changing tokens or emitting an auth-state event. Previously returned sessions remain immutable. Profile identity checks compare UUID values; the session retains its original user ID spelling, including in the cached snapshot.

get_user() sends the active access token to Volcano and returns an immutable, server-validated profile with the complete public AuthUser fields. Profile timestamps are timezone-aware datetime values, and nested user and application metadata are immutable. The request updates the cached profile without changing credentials. If another authentication operation replaces the session while the request is in flight, get_user() raises SessionChangedError instead of returning a profile for stale credentials.

update_user() updates the current user's password, metadata, or both. Metadata is a shallow patch: omitted keys remain unchanged, and setting a key to None removes it. The method returns the same immutable profile type as get_user() and updates the cached profile without changing credentials. It also rejects a response if another authentication operation replaces the session while the update is in flight.

Request a password reset email without creating or changing a session:

client.auth.reset_password_for_email(email="user@example.com")

When transactional email is configured, Volcano sends the reset link. Success returns None, and the response is intentionally identical whether or not the email belongs to an account. Failures raise the same typed Volcano errors as other authentication operations.

Confirm an email address with the token from its confirmation link:

client.auth.confirm_email(token="confirmation-token")

Success returns None. Confirmation does not sign in the confirmed account or change an unrelated local session.

Request another confirmation email without revealing account state:

client.auth.resend_confirmation(email="user@example.com")

Success returns None whether the account is unknown, already confirmed, or eligible. Volcano sends mail only for an existing unconfirmed account when transactional email is configured. Rate limits raise RateLimitedError with retry_after when the server supplies it.

Request confirmation for a new email address while keeping the current session:

result = client.auth.request_email_change(new_email="new@example.com")
print(result.new_email)

The immutable result contains the server acknowledgement. Its message and new_email fields may be None. The request fails if there is no active session or that session changes in flight.

Cancel the pending change while keeping the current session:

client.auth.cancel_email_change()

Success returns None. A successful stale response is rejected if another authentication operation replaces the session while cancellation is in flight.

Confirm the pending change with the token delivered to the new address:

user = client.auth.confirm_email_change(token="email-change-token")
print(user.email)

The method returns the immutable updated user without replacing the active session. A successful stale response is rejected if another authentication operation replaces that session in flight.

List sessions using the stable activity-ordered offset pagination:

page = client.auth.list_sessions(page=1, limit=20)
for session in page.sessions:
    print(session.id, session.user_agent, session.is_current)

The method returns immutable SessionPage and AuthSession values. It raises SessionChangedError instead of returning a page for a session that was replaced while the request was in flight. Sort, filter, and cursor controls are not yet exposed by this facade.

Build a managed hosted-auth URL:

import secrets

hosted_state = secrets.token_urlsafe(32)
hosted_url = client.auth.get_hosted_auth_url(
    project_id="00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000020",
    action="signup",
    state=hosted_state,
)

Store hosted_state in the user's signed server-side session before redirecting to hosted_url. After parsing the returned fragment into a Session, validate and adopt it atomically:

session = client.auth.adopt_hosted_auth_session(
    returned_session,
    state=returned_state,
    expected_state=hosted_state,
)

The SDK rejects a mismatched state before changing local authentication. It builds and adopts the flow but does not parse browser URLs, navigate, or persist state. The action deep link applies to Volcano's built-in page; a customized login page must implement its own signup or forgot-password flow.

Build the URL that starts an OAuth sign-in flow:

import secrets

oauth_state = secrets.token_urlsafe(32)
authorization_url = client.auth.sign_in_with_oauth(
    provider="github",
    redirect_to="https://app.example.com/auth/callback",
    state=oauth_state,
)

Store oauth_state in the user's signed server-side session, then redirect the user to the returned URL. In the callback, pass the returned and stored states to the SDK so it rejects login CSRF before exchanging the one-time code:

session = client.auth.exchange_oauth_code(
    code=callback_code,
    redirect_to="https://app.example.com/auth/callback",
    state=callback_state,
    expected_state=stored_oauth_state,
)

The callback URL must exactly match a registered project redirect. The exchange stores the returned Volcano session on the client. The SDK does not open a browser or persist OAuth state between requests; use your framework's signed session or equivalent storage for that state.

List the OAuth providers linked to the current account:

providers = client.auth.list_linked_oauth_providers()
for provider in providers:
    print(provider.provider, provider.linked_at)

The method returns an immutable tuple of LinkedOAuthProvider values and raises SessionChangedError if the active session changes while the request is in flight.

Start linking another OAuth provider to the current account:

authorization_url = client.auth.link_oauth_provider(provider="github")

Redirect the user to the returned URL to complete the provider flow. The method accepts apple, github, google, or microsoft and raises SessionChangedError if the active session changes while the request is in flight.

Unlink an OAuth provider from the current account:

client.auth.unlink_oauth_provider(provider="github")

The server rejects removal of the account's only authentication method. A successful stale response raises SessionChangedError instead of acknowledging work authorized by a replaced session.

Check whether Volcano has a valid server-held provider token:

status = client.auth.get_oauth_provider_token(provider="github")
print(status.provider, status.expires_in)

The immutable OAuthProviderTokenStatus contains provider and expiry metadata, not the credential. Volcano refreshes an expired token on the server. A stale result raises SessionChangedError.

Refresh a provider token explicitly:

status = client.auth.refresh_oauth_provider_token(provider="github")
print(status.provider, status.expires_in)

The refresh credential and new access token remain on the server. A stale result raises SessionChangedError.

Call a provider API through Volcano's fixed-host server proxy:

repos = client.auth.call_oauth_api(
    provider="github",
    endpoint="/user/repos",
)
print(repos[0]["name"])

The method returns an immutable copy of the provider's JSON value. Volcano owns token refresh and host validation. A stale result raises SessionChangedError.

Sign out every other device while keeping the current session active:

client.auth.delete_all_other_sessions()

Success returns None. Do not replace the client's session while this request is in flight: the server may revoke that replacement as an "other" session. If replacement occurs, the method raises SessionChangedError instead of acknowledging a stale result.

Revoke one session by ID:

client.auth.delete_session(session_id="00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000099")

The request uses the current access token. Deleting that token's own session clears local credentials, including when the request outcome is uncertain; deleting another session preserves them. If another authentication operation replaces the session before deletion finishes, the method raises SessionChangedError instead of clearing the replacement or acknowledging a stale result.

Create an anonymous account and make its tokens the current session:

session = client.auth.sign_in_anonymously(metadata={"device": "mobile"})

Anonymous sign-ins must be enabled for the project. Convert the account before signing out if the user needs to recover it later.

Attach email credentials without changing the anonymous user's ID or current session:

user = client.auth.convert_anonymous(
    email="user@example.com",
    password="secure-password",
    metadata={"display_name": "Ada"},
)

When email confirmation is required, confirm the new address before treating it as verified.

Set a new password with the recovery token from that email:

client.auth.reset_password(
    token="recovery-token",
    new_password="new-secret",
)

Success returns None. The reset revokes the recovered account's existing sessions and does not sign it in. The client keeps any unrelated local session unchanged; sign in with the new password when the reset flow completes.

To start with only a supplied user access token, pass access_token to VolcanoClient. Construction makes no request and leaves refresh_token, user_id, and user as None until supplied or validated by the server. get_user() validates and caches the profile without changing credentials. Without a refresh token, refresh_session() raises AuthenticationError and sign_out() revokes the server session using the access token and clears local state. Supply refresh_token with access_token to enable refresh. See the token bootstrap example.

Copy a complete native session into another client's memory:

session = source.auth.get_session()
if session is not None:
    fresh.auth.set_session(session)

set_session() copies the session without making a request, persisting credentials, or notifying auth-state subscribers. It raises ValueError when the session type or any credential field is incomplete.

Password sign-in raises SessionChangedError if local session state changes while the request is in flight. The late response does not replace the newer state or emit a sign-in notification.

Refresh the session with its current refresh token:

refreshed = client.auth.refresh_session()
assert client.auth.get_session() is refreshed

On success, refresh_session() replaces the in-memory session and returns the immutable new snapshot. An authentication failure clears the session that initiated the request. Server and transport failures preserve it, and a late response never replaces a newer session. The SDK does not persist sessions.

Observe local session transitions:

from volcano_sdk import AuthChangeEvent, Session


def handle_auth_change(event: AuthChangeEvent, session: Session | None) -> None:
    print(event, session is not None)


subscription = client.auth.on_auth_state_change(handle_auth_change)
# Later, stop receiving events.
subscription.unsubscribe()

Registration queues INITIAL_SESSION. It normally arrives before registration returns, but an existing notification dispatch may deliver it afterward. Successful session creation, refresh, and local clearing emit SIGNED_IN, TOKEN_REFRESHED, and SIGNED_OUT. Callbacks are delivered locally in transition order after the state lock is released, and callback failures cannot interrupt auth operations. Unsubscribing prevents queued and future delivery; a callback already selected for delivery may finish after unsubscribe() returns. The SDK does not broadcast between processes or persist sessions.

Sign out by revoking and clearing the current session:

client.auth.sign_out()
assert client.auth.get_session() is None

Sign-out uses the refresh token directly when the SDK received both credentials together from sign-in or a validated refresh. Supplied credentials use the access-token session; on HTTP 401, the SDK can refresh once and revoke that same session without adopting the renewed credentials. Calling sign_out() without a session succeeds without a request. A revocation failure is raised after the captured local session is cleared. Sign-out waits for an already-running refresh and uses its validated credentials. Later refresh attempts raise SessionChangedError without a request. Concurrent sign-out calls share one result. A separate sign-in or adoption remains current.

Realtime is async. Channels wrap centrifuge-python; the underlying client and subscription objects are not part of the public API.

stop_connect = client.realtime.on_connect(
    lambda context: print("connected", context.client)
)
client.realtime.on_disconnect(
    lambda context: print("disconnected", context.code, context.reason)
)
client.realtime.on_error(
    lambda context: print("realtime error", context.code, context.message)
)

channel = client.realtime.channel("updates")
assert channel.name == "broadcast:updates"
channel.on("message", print)

await channel.subscribe()
assert client.realtime.is_connected
await channel.send({"event": "message", "value": "contract"})
await client.realtime.remove_channel("updates")
assert client.realtime.is_connected
await client.realtime.disconnect()
assert not client.realtime.is_connected
stop_connect()

await channel.subscribe() returns after the server acknowledges the subscription. Presence channels also wait for the initial roster refresh. If subscription fails or the call is cancelled, the attempt is stopped and a later call can retry. Other channels and shutdown operations can proceed while acknowledgement is pending. Calling subscribe on an active channel returns immediately. Pausing, removal, and disconnect invalidate earlier queued subscribe calls; disconnect also cancels the active readiness wait. Call subscribe again to restart.

Broadcast channels use Centrifuge's native stream recovery when server history is available. await channel.unsubscribe() pauses delivery while retaining the in-memory recovery position; a later await channel.subscribe() resumes the same subscription and requests missed publications. Removing the channel or disconnecting the realtime client discards that position. Recovery is not persisted across processes and never crosses an auth session lineage. Explicitly pausing discards incoming messages and callbacks queued before the pause, including presence joins, leaves, and snapshots. Pausing frees their queue capacity so recovered messages can be delivered after resubscription. A callback already running may finish; handlers remain registered for resubscription. If unsubscribe or removal is cancelled, cancellation propagates after the native unsubscribe finishes under its request timeout. This keeps replies valid and prevents a subsequent operation from overtaking the stop. Automatic reconnects preserve queued messages on broadcast and presence channels, using the existing recovery position to request missed messages. Presence rosters are refreshed after reconnecting.

Presence channels expose server-managed user metadata and join/leave events:

presence = client.realtime.channel("lobby", channel_type="presence")
presence.on("join", lambda info: print("joined", info.user, info.data))
presence.on("leave", lambda info: print("left", info.user))
stop_sync = presence.on_presence_sync(
    lambda state: print("present clients", tuple(state))
)

await presence.subscribe()
await presence.track({"status": "online"})
assert presence.tracked_state == {"status": "online"}
current = presence.get_presence_state()
await client.realtime.remove_channel("lobby", channel_type="presence")
stop_sync()

remove_channel() unsubscribes and forgets one channel. remove_all_channels() does the same for every managed channel without disconnecting the shared realtime transport, so later calls to channel() return fresh facades. Removal and disconnect() stop SDK delivery and transport work without cancelling or waiting for a running application callback. Queued delivery is discarded; callbacks already running may finish and may call realtime methods themselves. Callbacks run in order on each channel, including across disconnect and resubscribe. A slow callback delays subsequent delivery on that channel. Application code owns any work it starts and should await that work separately when shutting down. Connection callbacks receive immutable contexts, may be synchronous or async, and run outside the transport event processor. Each registration returns an idempotent function that stops future delivery. Access-token refreshes preserve a realtime connection only while the auth session lineage remains current. After signing in again or changing users, call disconnect() before subscribing channels for the new session; the SDK refuses to rebind an existing connection across that identity boundary. Presence state and client metadata are immutable snapshots. Volcano derives the remote identity and metadata from the authenticated user; track() stores optional local state in tracked_state but does not replace that server-managed identity. Presence is resynchronized after reconnects. Query failures are reported through realtime.on_error() and clear the current snapshot. Unsubscribing or removing a presence channel discards an in-progress roster refresh without interrupting other channels on the shared connection.

Postgres channels deliver immutable, RLS-scoped row changes and filter callbacks by event, schema, and table:

client.realtime.set_database_name("app")
changes = client.realtime.channel(
    "public:messages",
    channel_type="postgres",
    auto_fetch=True,
    fetch_batch_window_ms=20,
    fetch_max_batch_size=50,
)
stop_changes = changes.on_postgres_changes(
    "INSERT",
    schema="public",
    table="messages",
    callback=lambda change: print(change.record),
)
await changes.subscribe()
stop_changes()

Binding a database automatically fetches the matching row for lightweight INSERT and UPDATE notifications in the public schema. The fetch uses the realtime connection's RLS-scoped access token. Compatible row lookups are batched while callback delivery preserves publication order. If the row is absent or the query fails, the callback receives the lightweight notification with its id and mode intact. Non-public schemas also retain that lightweight form. Lightweight deletes never query the database; they preserve old_record, or provide {"id": change.id} when no old row was included. Tune a channel's batching with fetch_batch_window_ms and fetch_max_batch_size; the defaults are 20 milliseconds and 50 rows. Set auto_fetch=False on a Postgres channel to keep lightweight notifications without querying their rows. Pass None to set_database_name() to disable row fetching for every channel.

Compatibility

CI tests the SDK on Python 3.11 and 3.14. Its public facade is intentionally independent of generated httpx types. The bundled openapi/openapi.yaml matches the public bundle from Hosting #991 at commit ef03f689e. Its SHA-256 is 076d97809c95f50567d8b100f4188c1fe2b74e73a388e335c79850e66edfc0e4.

Generated operations are internal. Transport adapters use sync_detailed() or asyncio_detailed() to inspect HTTP status before interpreting the parsed body. The generated parsed-body-only shortcuts are not public SDK APIs.

The realtime wrapper includes a narrow compatibility adapter for Volcano's project-prefixed publication channels. It still delegates connection, subscription, publish, and disconnect behavior to centrifuge-python 0.6.

The Volcano GitHub App creates the stable GitHub release, which automatically starts publish.yml. The workflow validates the tag, main ancestry, and package identity; runs CI; builds and smoke-tests the wheel and source distribution; then publishes them to PyPI and adds the version link to the GitHub release.

PyPI trusted publishing must match Kong/volcano-sdk-python, workflow publish.yml, environment pypi, and project volcano-sdk-python. Only the isolated upload job can request an OIDC token; it receives checked artifacts and does not check out or execute SDK source. No PyPI API token is required. Release runs queue without canceling pending versions.

For a transient failure, rerun the failed jobs on the release workflow. PyPI versions cannot be overwritten: if an upload partially succeeded, inspect the existing files before recovery. Earlier releases built as volcano-sdk are not published by this workflow. The Release Please component remains volcano-sdk to preserve its release branch and history.
