Summary

  • Extract fresh/restore policy into LaunchPolicyResolver. Lifecycle retains reservation, retirement, recovery fences, retries and access publication. Independent MCP and Slack reads run concurrently after hard prerequisites; failure semantics stay intact.
  • Canonicalize Modal session serialization and introduce an opt-in v1 create/restore contract with strict known-field and runtime repository validation, extension preservation, published schema, and bounded version/outcome telemetry.
  • Decode legacy and v1 requests directly into one explicit internal launch command in provider-independent launch_contract.py; endpoints own auth, policy, logging and native orchestration.
  • Add real TypeScript sender -> Python receiver -> native-call-mocked manager -> runtime consumer tests and an always-running contract CI job.
  • Pin the deployed receiver's FastAPI/Pydantic dependency closure to the tested lockfile; add receiver-first rollout and rollback evidence gates.

Review remediation

Addressed all nine inline findings and the review-summary model-default nitpick after verifying them against current code:

  • Runtime repository semantics, scalar/list consistency, full-length SHA fixtures and consumer validation.
  • Unsupported-version telemetry without logging arbitrary input.
  • Required MCP identifiers/enabled flags and local-command/remote-URL semantics.
  • Positive finite CPU and positive integer memory validation, preserving null/default behavior.
  • Explicit default-off GitHub Actions rollout variable in both Terraform Plan and Apply.
  • Dedicated direct decoders without reparsing v1 as legacy.
  • Tested/deployed validator dependency parity.
  • Concurrent independent best-effort policy reads after hard prerequisites.
  • Modal fallback provider/model derived from the shared model catalog.

Regression tests reproduced the validation gaps before fixes. Replies include implementation commits and validation evidence.

Compatibility and rollout

Legacy remains the default. Node MODAL_LAUNCH_CONTRACT_VERSION=1, Terraform modal_launch_contract_v1_enabled=true, and the Actions repository variable MODAL_LAUNCH_CONTRACT_V1_ENABLED=true are opt-in only after receiver/runtime verification and authorized native canaries. No deployment, repository-variable activation or provider resources were created by this work. There is no automatic downgrade/retry after ambiguous responses.

This is an ephemeral resolved launch-input contract, not a cross-store atomic plan or a claim that provider mechanics are provider-neutral. Password generation, native secret attachment and retained-snapshot SCM behavior remain provider-owned. Activation and legacy retirement remain evidence-gated release operations.

Based on 232bb74c5, preserving #2014's state-retention protections. This overlaps #1809; its older extraction was inspected but not applied. Coordinate before merging either PR.

Validation

Final code revision: 97ae18280; final documentation revision: 04558dc6b59d8e18db303c99ecab3e156a0c6b58.

  • Control-plane: 321 files / 5,087 tests passed; all four type-check configurations passed.
  • Workerd lifecycle, alarm recovery, shutdown, core conformance and state retention: 5 files / 77 tests passed.
  • Combined launch contract: 5 TypeScript tests + 143 Python cases passed.
  • Modal: 368 passed, 2 skipped standalone; artifact-dependent cases run in the combined check.
  • Targeted lifecycle/policy: 200 passed; Terraform workflow contract: 2 passed.
  • Changed-file ESLint, Modal Ruff/formatting and whitespace checks passed.
  • Earlier implementation validation: Worker/Node builds and 112 targeted runtime tests passed; runtime implementation was unchanged during remediation.
  • New decoder/validation modules pass mypy. Existing web_api.py diagnostics decreased from 15 to 13, but whole-package mypy is not claimed clean. Earlier Knip baseline remains 32 unused exports / 10 unused exported types / 1 duplicate export; no fresh clean claim.

Exact-head CI

All applicable GitHub Actions checks passed at 04558dc6b59d8e18db303c99ecab3e156a0c6b58, including launch-contract, both control-plane integration shards, unit tests, Python checks, TypeScript lint/typecheck, web build/tests, bots, container smoke, both image contracts and Terraform validation. Terraform Plan/Apply were intentionally skipped. CodeRabbit re-review and approval are still pending; existing requested-changes reviews have not been dismissed. Passing CI does not establish native-provider canary or deployed receiver behavior.

Independent review

A sub-agent independently reviewed the complete remediation range 145daa021..97ae18280 and reported no remaining blockers. It verified direct-decoder legacy semantics and extensions, validation before native calls, redaction, lockfile/pin parity, independent policy reads, and both Terraform flag mappings. It independently reran 5 TypeScript + 143 Python contract tests and 2 workflow tests successfully.

Reviewer guide

  1. launch-policy.ts and lifecycle integration: ownership, prerequisites and independent best-effort reads.
  2. modal-launch-contract.ts, launch_contract.py, request_validation.py and thin web_api.py endpoints: compatibility and strict v1 validation.
  3. receiver_dependencies.py, contract tests/runner/workflow: dependency parity and real cross-language/runtime boundaries.
  4. docs/adr/0005-sandbox-launch-policy-and-wire-contract.md and docs/plans/sandbox-launch-contract-rollout.md: release gates and rollback.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds legacy and version 1 Modal sandbox launch contracts. It centralizes launch policy resolution, adds receiver validation and schema coverage, wires deployment controls, and adds cross-runtime contract tests in CI.

Changes

Sandbox launch contract

Layer / File(s) Summary
Centralized launch policy
packages/control-plane/src/sandbox/lifecycle/...
LaunchPolicyResolver now resolves fresh, restore, and resume inputs. The lifecycle manager delegates related lookups, settings parsing, and timeout handling to it.
Versioned TypeScript sender
packages/control-plane/src/sandbox/modal-launch-contract.ts, packages/control-plane/src/sandbox/client.ts, packages/control-plane/src/sandbox/provider-factory.ts, packages/control-plane/src/node/...
The control plane reads the configured contract version and encodes legacy or version 1 create and restore payloads. Request logs include the selected version.
Version 1 schema and receiver
packages/modal-infra/contracts/..., packages/modal-infra/src/...
The Modal API uses typed models and shared validation for legacy and version 1 requests. The health endpoint advertises both accepted versions.
Rollout controls and validation
terraform/..., .github/workflows/..., scripts/..., packages/.../tests/..., docs/...
Terraform and Actions configure the version 1 rollout flag. Cross-runtime tests validate schemas, payload semantics, rejection behavior, logging, and service startup behavior. Documentation records the policy and rollout sequence.

Extract the split-form Modal fallbacks into named constants.

sessionConfig defines the provider and model defaults inline. Add DEFAULT_MODAL_PROVIDER = "anthropic" and DEFAULT_MODAL_MODEL = "claude-sonnet-4-6" to the shared sandbox defaults module, then import them here. Do not use DEFAULT_MODEL, because it is the provider-prefixed value "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6".

Summary

PR #2017, Refactor sandbox launch policy and add a versioned Modal contract, by @ColeMurray changes 22 files (+2,093/-331). The policy extraction preserves the existing launch order and ownership cleanly, but the v1 receiver still accepts several semantically invalid known inputs, and the Terraform rollout flag is not reachable through the repository's deployment workflow.

Critical Issues

  • [Deployment correctness] terraform/environments/production/variables.tf:817 - The new opt-in variable is not passed by either the plan or apply job in .github/workflows/terraform.yml, so Actions-managed deployments always use the default false and cannot perform the documented Terraform canary/activation.
  • [Contract correctness] packages/modal-infra/src/web_api.py:179 - MCP fields required by the producer and runtime are optional, with no type-specific invariant, so local servers without commands and remote servers without URLs pass v1 validation and fail or diverge only during runtime boot.
  • [Contract correctness] packages/modal-infra/src/web_api.py:200 - Repository entries are type-checked but not validated with the runtime's path, duplicate-name, and SHA rules. A schema-valid request can therefore launch a provider resource that is guaranteed to fail during boot.
  • [Input validation] packages/modal-infra/src/web_api.py:214 - Known resource settings (cpuCores, memoryMib) are treated as unvalidated extensions even though the manager consumes them immediately; malformed values become a 500 or reach Modal instead of being rejected as a v1 400.

Suggestions

No additional non-blocking suggestions beyond the inline fixes.

Nitpicks

None.

Positive Feedback

  • The fresh/restore policy extraction retains the prior prerequisite order, degradation rules, and lifecycle ownership boundaries.
  • The no-downgrade behavior, correlated version telemetry, generated schema drift check, and cross-language test runner are strong compatibility safeguards.
  • Legacy remains the default and the rollout documentation clearly separates local contract evidence from provider canary evidence.

Questions

None.

Verification

The combined launch-contract suite passed 3 TypeScript and 72 Python tests; targeted lifecycle/policy tests passed 198 tests; control-plane typechecking and repository formatting checks passed. All reported PR checks are green.

Verdict

Request Changes: the four issues above should be addressed before enabling or merging the versioned contract.

[Contract correctness] The producer's McpServerConfig requires id and enabled, and its input schema requires a non-empty command for local servers or a valid url for remote servers. Here all of those are optional and there is no type-specific validation, so {name, type: "local"} passes v1 validation, launches the sandbox, and gives OpenCode an empty command (while Claude silently skips it). Could this use a discriminated union or model validator that enforces the current local/remote invariants while retaining extra="allow" for future extensions? Please cover missing/empty fields as well as malformed field types.

Fixed in 74b955a: v1 now requires id/enabled and validates nonempty local commands or valid remote URLs, while preserving extensions and URL spelling. Twenty-two missing/empty semantic cases reproduced the gap before the fix. All 34 MCP cases now pass on both endpoints; legacy handling is unchanged.

[Contract correctness] RestoreRepositoryRequest only validates field types, so the published v1 schema accepts unsafe owner/name values, duplicate checkout names, and malformed base_sha values. The new fixture's abc123 SHA is one example: the contract tests pass because they inspect the raw session dictionary, but parse_repositories rejects it during actual boot, after a provider resource has already been created. Could v1 run the same repository validation before invoking SandboxManager (including scalar/list consistency), and update the fixture to a valid full SHA so this runtime boundary is exercised?

Fixed in 0ba5590 alongside the overlapping repository finding. Both representations are validated independently before launch, primary identity/branch/revision consistency is checked, and the full-SHA fixture exercises the actual runtime parser. Invalid owner/name, duplicate checkout names, malformed SHA, empty entries and inconsistent scalar/list cases are covered for create and restore.

[Input validation] cpuCores and memoryMib are already known Modal launch settings, not future extensions, but neither is declared here. Consequently cpuCores: "invalid" passes the v1 model and later becomes a 500 in float(cpu_cores), while an invalid memoryMib can reach the native create call. Could these be modeled with their current positive/null semantics so malformed known values are rejected with 400 before provider work?

Fixed in b42cf7b: v1 accepts finite positive CPU, positive integer memory, or null for provider defaults. Twenty malformed-resource cases reproduced the issue before the fix; all now reject with 400 before native work. Positive/null mapping is also tested on create and restore. Provider limits and legacy behavior are unchanged.

[Deployment correctness] This variable is wired into the Worker binding, but the standard plan/apply workflow never sets TF_VAR_modal_launch_contract_v1_enabled. Since that workflow explicitly maps deployment variables, setting a repository variable cannot activate the documented Terraform canary and every Actions deployment remains on the default false. Please pass a MODAL_LAUNCH_CONTRACT_V1_ENABLED value (defaulting to false) in both jobs and include it in the deployment variable documentation/example.

Fixed in da23ab5: Plan and Apply both map MODAL_LAUNCH_CONTRACT_V1_ENABLED to the Terraform flag, defaulting to false. Added the deployment-variable reference, local tfvars example, rollout instructions and a two-job workflow regression test. No repository variable or deployed configuration was changed.

Requesting changes on maintainability and contract-boundary grounds. The launch-policy extraction removes substantial orchestration from the lifecycle manager and preserves its ownership boundaries, but the receiver implementation moves too much responsibility into web_api.py: the file grows from 901 to 1,019 lines and now owns v1 transport models, version dispatch, legacy adaptation, endpoint orchestration, and telemetry. The v1 path is also validated and then dumped/reparsed through legacy request models, so the new contract has two schema owners instead of one canonical mapping.

The published schema check is not deterministic with production: CI validates against the frozen uv environment, while the Modal function image installs pydantic>=2.0 and unpinned FastAPI. An image rebuild can therefore change receiver validation and generated-schema behavior without changing this repository or failing the contract check.

There is also avoidable orchestration complexity in LaunchPolicyResolver: MCP and Slack are independent best-effort reads, yet mode exists partly to serialize them in opposite orders. That preserves incidental call history rather than expressing a domain dependency and makes the extracted policy harder to reason about than necessary.

Please decompose the receiver contract into a focused module that maps each wire version directly to one internal launch command, make deployed validator dependencies match the locked environment, and remove the mode-specific sequencing unless a real dependency can be documented. The independently reproducible MCP/repository/resource validation gaps and unreachable Terraform rollout flag also remain blockers.

Verification: npm run test:launch-contract passed (3 TypeScript tests and 72 Python cases); all reported PR checks are green. These findings concern contract determinism and code structure that the current tests do not cover.

[deep review] This pushes web_api.py from 901 to 1,019 lines and gives an already broad endpoint module another full responsibility: versioned contract definition. The problem is larger than file length: the endpoints validate v1, dump it to dictionaries, and then parse those dictionaries through the legacy request models, so one request has two schema owners. This refactor moves complexity around rather than deleting it. Please extract the contract models/version dispatch into a focused module and have each decoder map directly to one typed internal launch command consumed by the endpoints. That would keep legacy compatibility isolated, eliminate the dump/reparse adapter, and bring this file back below the 1k boundary.

Fixed in d6b0f37: launch_contract.py owns interactive models, version dispatch and direct decoding into LaunchCommand; request_validation.py owns shared redacted validation errors. Endpoints retain authentication, URL policy, telemetry and native orchestration. V1 no longer dumps/reparses through legacy models, and web_api.py is 740 lines. Legacy wire output remains covered. Full Modal suite: 367 passed; combined contract: 3 TS + 142 Python cases. Both new modules pass mypy; pre-existing endpoint diagnostics remain.

[deep review] This freezes the test environment, but the deployed Modal function image still installs pydantic>=2.0 and unpinned fastapi in src/app.py. The exact validator/schema behavior tested here can therefore differ from production after an ordinary image rebuild, while this check remains green. A versioned wire contract needs a deterministic receiver boundary: build the function image from the same lock or pin exact shared versions rather than treating production-version capture as a rollout checklist item.

Fixed in 7334ade: the function image installs exact versions for the transitive FastAPI/Pydantic dependency tree from receiver_dependencies.py. The contract suite checks that entire pin set against uv.lock, the same frozen environment used by the combined runner. Dependency updates cannot silently drift between tested and deployed receiver declarations. Deployed artifact verification remains a release gate, not a substitute for pinning.

[deep review] This extracted policy preserves an incidental ordering difference by adding a mode-specific branch for two independent best-effort lookups. Both helpers contain their own degradation behavior, so serializing MCP then Slack for fresh launches and Slack then MCP for restores buys no domain invariant; it only expands the state space and makes tests lock in call history. After the hard secret/repository prerequisites, resolve these independent inputs together and delete this branch. If one truly depends on the other, make that dependency explicit rather than encoding it as opposite sequencing.

Done in aa684ac. Verified MCP reads/decrypts its own configuration while Slack reads integration settings; neither consumes the other result or writes shared state. Both now resolve together after the existing secret/repository/image prerequisites, retaining independent degradation. Tests assert the hard failure gate and concurrent starts instead of opposite call histories; all 200 lifecycle/policy tests pass. ADR and rollout notes reflect this reviewed change.

Addressing the split-defaults nitpick in review 5275678449: done in 97ae182 with catalog-derived DEFAULT_MODAL_PROVIDER / DEFAULT_MODAL_MODEL constants local to the encoder. There is no existing shared sandbox-defaults module; deriving from the single catalog default avoids another literal that could drift. The model is split with extractProviderAndModel, never sent as the provider-prefixed DEFAULT_MODEL. Both legacy/v1 fallback tests pass; combined suite: 5 TS + 143 Python cases.

🟠 Major · Make the published MCP schema match receiver validation. · launch-v1.schema.json:131-156

packages/modal-infra/contracts/launch-v1.schema.json:131-156
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Make the published MCP schema match receiver validation.

The schema accepts local servers without a nonempty command. It also accepts arbitrary strings for a remote url. The Python receiver rejects both payloads.

A schema-valid client request can therefore receive HTTP 400. Model local and remote servers as discriminated schemas, or customize schema generation to express these constraints.

Update the schema around the command and url properties to match receiver
validation: require a nonempty command for local servers, and constrain remote
url values to the same accepted URL format. Model the local/remote alternatives
as mutually exclusive discriminated schemas, or apply equivalent conditional
constraints, so every schema-valid request passes receiver validation.

Require HTTPS for remote MCP URLs.

AnyUrl validates syntax but does not restrict the scheme. An authenticated launch request can therefore provide an http:// MCP URL. Both Claude and OpenCode preserve that URL and copy credential headers into their transport configuration without a scheme guard. No documented localhost or development exception applies to remote MCP URLs.

Enforce HTTPS during transport validation
