Summary

NOTE: This PR implements additional milestones defined in the Design Doc: #5092

This is PR2 of the pluggable Machine Validation framework described in #5092.

PR1 (#5455) introduced the safe OCI plugin-runner foundation. This PR adds the control plane needed to safely configure and approve OCI validation plugins.

Scout does not select or execute plugins in this PR. Existing Machine Validation tests and execution behavior remain unchanged.

What is included

  • Versioned, digest-pinned OCI plugin definitions.
  • Site policy for permitted registries, privileged plugins, and full-host access.
  • A safe lifecycle: plugins start unverified and disabled.
  • Separate approval for the exact plugin revision requesting writable /host access.
  • API and CLI support to create, verify, approve, enable, disable, and view plugins.
  • Secure private-registry credential input through stdin rather than command arguments.
  • Coverage for plugin policy validation and approval lifecycle behavior.

Example flow

  1. A site admin permits the registry and required access profile in the Machine Validation site configuration.

  2. The site admin stores the private-registry credential using
     credential registry set --password-stdin.

  3. The site admin creates a digest-pinned plugin revision:

     nico-admin-cli machine-validation plugins create
       --name gpu-health
       --image registry.example.com/gpu-health@sha256:
       --entrypoint /usr/local/bin/validate
       --privileged
       --host-access-full

  4. The site admin reviews the exact revision, verifies it, approves full-host access when requested, and enables it.

  The plugin remains unavailable until all required steps are complete.

Compatibility

  •   This PR does not change existing Machine Validation test definitions, catalog behavior, or Scout execution behavior.
  • Legacy tests continue to use their existing selection and execution paths.
  •   Legacy startup test-selection configuration does not enable or modify plugin revisions.

Bigger picture

  The pluggable Machine Validation work is being delivered in compatible steps:

  1. PR1 (#5455): (Merged) Safe OCI runner and plugin-contract foundation.
  2. PR2 — this PR: Plugin definitions, site policy, verification/enablement, registry credentials, and full-host approval.
3. Next: Scout selects approved plugins, executes them through the OCI runner, records results, and streams execution logs.

Walkthrough

The change adds OCI plugin-backed machine-validation revisions with validation, approval, persistence, RPC, and CLI support. It also adds NIC lockdown credential rotation control and changes registry credential setup to read passwords or API keys from standard input.

Changes

Machine validation plugins

Layer / File(s) Summary
Plugin contracts and persistence
crates/rpc/proto/forge.proto, rest-api/proto/core/src/v1/..., crates/api-model/..., crates/rpc/src/model/..., crates/machine-controller/..., crates/api-db/...
Plugin configuration and full-host approval fields flow through RPC and domain models into JSONB database columns.
Plugin admission and revision lifecycle
crates/api-core/src/handlers/machine_validation.rs, crates/api-core/src/api.rs, crates/api-core/src/auth/..., crates/api-db/src/...
The service validates plugin registries, digests, parameters, privileges, timeouts, verification, approval, and enablement. Plugin revisions remain immutable and excluded from automatic startup selection changes.
Plugin CLI and integration validation
crates/admin-cli/src/machine_validation/..., crates/api-core/src/tests/..., crates/api-core/src/cfg/README.md
The CLI supports plugin creation, verification, full-host approval, enablement, and disablement. Tests cover approval sequencing, startup behavior, output fields, and default security settings.

NIC lockdown credential rotation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rotation RPC and authorization
rest-api/proto/core/src/v1/nico_nico.proto, crates/api-core/src/api.rs, crates/api-core/src/auth/internal_rbac_rules.rs
The API adds asynchronous set and clear requests for per-host NIC lockdown credential rotation. Forge authorization supports the operation.
Rotation state fixtures
crates/api-core/src/tests/common/api_fixtures/mod.rs, crates/api-core/src/cfg/README.md
Test fixtures include the rotation gate and preserve the rotating NIC lockdown state. Configuration documentation records the updated rotation key and component-manager requirements.

Registry credential input

Layer / File(s) Summary
Read registry credentials from standard input
crates/admin-cli/src/credential/registry/args.rs, crates/admin-cli/src/credential/registry/cmd.rs
Registry setup now requires --password-stdin, reads and trims the secret, rejects empty input, and tests parser behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to e0e8d

The generic machine-validation update path can mark an existing plugin revision verified and enabled without the required policy and full-host approval checks. That can persist an unsafe privileged/full-host state for later execution, so the PR is not merge-ready until this lifecycle bypass is closed; the documentation follow-up is minor.

P1 Badge Render plugin details before allowing revision approval

The existing machine-validation tests show path is the only CLI view for these revisions, but this formatter never renders test.plugin; it only adds the approval boolean. Consequently an administrator cannot inspect the image digest, entrypoint, parameters, or requested privilege/host-access flags before running the new verify and approval commands, undermining the revision-scoped review workflow. Include the populated and empty plugin fields in the public command output and exercise that output in a command-level test.

P2 Badge Select the latest revision numerically

When a plugin family reaches revision 10, tests.first() is no longer reliably the latest revision because find() orders the serialized version text lexicographically (V9-... sorts above V10-...). Every subsequent create can therefore increment revision 9 again, producing multiple distinct V10 revisions distinguished only by timestamps instead of a monotonically increasing revision sequence. Determine the maximum parsed ConfigVersion numerically, or order by extracted numeric revision data.

P1 Badge Add worked help examples for plugin lifecycle commands

The new verify and approve-full-host leaf commands are backed by RevisionArgs, which has no after_long_help, so their long help contains only flags and no copy-pasteable invocation; the same omission affects enable and disable. Add an EXAMPLES: section to every leaf action as required for admin CLI commands.

P1 Badge Use a valid digest in the plugin creation examples

Both rendered create examples use sha256:REPLACE_WITH_DIGEST, but the API requires the suffix to decode as exactly 32 bytes of hexadecimal, so copying either advertised command always fails validation. Replace this token with a valid 64-character hexadecimal placeholder and retain the required help-block formatting so the examples are actually executable.

345-348: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Document the changed enable_disable contract and its silent coercion.

The signature now takes is_plugin, and line 348 silently downgrades a requested enablement to false when a plugin revision is not verified. The caller receives Ok with the opposite of the requested state. Add a doc comment that states this behavior, so callers do not assume the request was applied.

The coding guidelines require documentation when a change alters an existing public contract.

📝 Proposed documentation
+/// Set the enablement state of one machine validation test revision.
+///
+/// For plugin revisions (`is_plugin`), enablement requires `is_verified`;
+/// an unverified plugin is persisted as disabled instead of returning an
+/// error. Enabling a plugin revision also disables every other enabled
+/// plugin revision of the same `test_id`.

Add complete worked examples to plugin command help.

Use a valid digest-pinned image example and add an EXAMPLES: section covering realistic create, verify, approve-full-host, enable, and disable commands. The examples should show the required four-space indentation, repeated entrypoint arguments, JSON parameters, and approval before enablement.

The same examples should be exposed through the plugin command surface in crates/admin-cli/src/machine_validation/mod.rs.

Define the plugin timeout default as a named constant.

validate_plugin_timeout and the persistence layer both apply 7200 when timeout is omitted. Define DEFAULT_PLUGIN_TIMEOUT_SECONDS next to MAX_PLUGIN_TIMEOUT_SECONDS and replace the handler’s bare literal to prevent future drift.

Correct the update-payload contract.

update_machine_validation_test rejects every request with payload.plugin. The current text says that this field replaces the plugin configuration. State that plugin revisions are immutable and this field must be unset, or remove the field if the conversion layer does not require it.

As per coding guidelines, “When a change alters an existing public contract, add or update its documentation in the same change.”

In `@crates/api-model/src/machine_validation.rs` around lines 76 - 77, Update the
documentation for the plugin field in MachineValidation so it reflects the
update_machine_validation_test contract: plugin revisions are immutable and
payload.plugin must be unset; if the conversion layer does not require this
field, remove it instead.

Document the remaining public plugin field contract.

The new RPC comments describe the high-level lifecycle, but MachineValidationPlugin does not define the behavior of privileged, host_access_full, or omitted required values. Document the digest requirement, non-empty entrypoint requirement, JSON-object requirement, false defaults for capability flags, site-policy checks, and exact-revision full-host approval. Document the approval request fields and response semantics too.

  • crates/rpc/proto/forge.proto#L7434-L7445: add authoritative comments for every plugin field and approval message field.
  • rest-api/proto/core/src/v1/nico_nico.proto#L7194-L7203: keep the mirrored API documentation equivalent.

As per path instructions, “document public RPCs, messages, and fields—including omission/default behavior, immutable revisions, verification/enablement rules, and separate full-host approval—in protobuf comments.”
