Thales Maciel 6e16e74fd5 Harden default environment pull behavior
Fix the default one-shot install path so empty bundled profile directories no longer win over OCI-backed environment pulls or leave broken cached symlinks behind.

Treat cached installs as valid only when the manifest and boot artifacts are all present, repair invalid installs on the next pull, and add human-mode phase markers for env pull and run without changing JSON output.

Align the Python lifecycle example and public docs with the current exec_vm/vm_exec auto-clean semantics, and validate the slice with focused pytest coverage, make check, make dist-check, and a real default-path pull/inspect/run smoke.

Public Contract

This document defines the supported public interface for pyro-mcp 2.x.

Package Identity

  • Distribution name: pyro-mcp
  • Public executable: pyro
  • Public Python import: from pyro_mcp import Pyro
  • Public package-level factory: from pyro_mcp import create_server

CLI Contract

Top-level commands:

  • pyro env list
  • pyro env pull
  • pyro env inspect
  • pyro env prune
  • pyro mcp serve
  • pyro run
  • pyro doctor
  • pyro demo
  • pyro demo ollama

Stable pyro run interface:

  • positional environment name
  • --vcpu-count
  • --mem-mib
  • --timeout-seconds
  • --ttl-seconds
  • --network
  • --allow-host-compat
  • --json

Behavioral guarantees:

  • pyro run <environment> -- <command> defaults to 1 vCPU / 1024 MiB.
  • pyro run fails if guest boot or guest exec is unavailable unless --allow-host-compat is set.
  • pyro run, pyro env list, pyro env pull, pyro env inspect, pyro env prune, and pyro doctor are human-readable by default and return structured JSON with --json.
  • pyro demo ollama prints log lines plus a final summary line.

Python SDK Contract

Primary facade:

  • Pyro

Supported public entrypoints:

  • create_server()
  • Pyro.create_server()
  • Pyro.list_environments()
  • Pyro.pull_environment(environment)
  • Pyro.inspect_environment(environment)
  • Pyro.prune_environments()
  • Pyro.create_vm(...)
  • Pyro.start_vm(vm_id)
  • Pyro.exec_vm(vm_id, *, command, timeout_seconds=30)
  • Pyro.stop_vm(vm_id)
  • Pyro.delete_vm(vm_id)
  • Pyro.status_vm(vm_id)
  • Pyro.network_info_vm(vm_id)
  • Pyro.reap_expired()
  • Pyro.run_in_vm(...)

Stable public method names:

  • create_server()
  • list_environments()
  • pull_environment(environment)
  • inspect_environment(environment)
  • prune_environments()
  • create_vm(...)
  • start_vm(vm_id)
  • exec_vm(vm_id, *, command, timeout_seconds=30)
  • stop_vm(vm_id)
  • delete_vm(vm_id)
  • status_vm(vm_id)
  • network_info_vm(vm_id)
  • reap_expired()
  • run_in_vm(...)

Behavioral defaults:

  • Pyro.create_vm(...) and Pyro.run_in_vm(...) default to vcpu_count=1 and mem_mib=1024.
  • allow_host_compat defaults to False on create_vm(...) and run_in_vm(...).
  • Pyro.exec_vm(...) runs one command and auto-cleans that VM after the exec completes.

MCP Contract

Primary tool:

  • vm_run

Advanced lifecycle tools:

  • vm_list_environments
  • vm_create
  • vm_start
  • vm_exec
  • vm_stop
  • vm_delete
  • vm_status
  • vm_network_info
  • vm_reap_expired

Behavioral defaults:

  • vm_run and vm_create default to vcpu_count=1 and mem_mib=1024.
  • vm_run and vm_create expose allow_host_compat, which defaults to false.
  • vm_exec runs one command and auto-cleans that VM after the exec completes.

Versioning Rule

  • pyro-mcp uses SemVer.
  • Environment names are stable identifiers in the shipped catalog.
  • Changing a public command name, public flag, public method name, public MCP tool name, or required request field is a breaking change.
