}Expand description
Complete typed description of a containerd workload handed to yubaba over
RPC. This is also the payload of the kind = "container" variant of
Workload on disk.
Yubaba never accepts compose YAML on its RPC surface — agents, the desktop,
and operator CLIs all hand yubaba WorkloadSpec values. See the arch doc
for the validation layers and evolution rules.

@yah:gotcha(“Adding requires to WorkloadSpec is NOT a one-file change in practice: a new struct field makes every WorkloadSpec { .. } literal in the tree an E0063, across all four workspaces (root, oss/yah-base, oss/kamaji, oss/yubaba). 22 call sites needed a mechanical requires: vec![],. One of them is headscale_spec() in oss/yubaba/crates/yubaba/src/headscale_appliance.rs, a file @Ashguard:eclipse (session:83093d9d) is live in on R858 — left it in rather than break the camp build, notified both channels (party.chat + @yah:notify_on on R858).”)
@yah:gotcha(“R860-T3 does not exist (board_show: "ticket ‘R860-T3’ not found"). The first gotcha’s "R860-T3 (placement group)" is really R860-T4 ("Admission: place the transitive closure of local edges as one group"), and supply=self enforcement is R860-T6. The doc comments landed in lib.rs cite T2/T4/T6, not T3.”)
@yah:verify(“Baseline recorded BEFORE any edit (cargo test --manifest-path oss/yah-base/crates/workload-spec/Cargo.toml): lib 156 passed / 0 failed, integration "main" 98 passed / 0 failed. NB cargo test -p workload-spec does NOT work — the package is yah-workload-spec and it lives in the excluded oss/yah-base workspace, so -p from the camp root fails with "not a member of the workspace". Use –manifest-path.”)
@yah:handoff(“Decision made without asking (brief said to decide and record): "a provides spec’s own name/mesh ident must match its Requirement::ident" is enforced against expose.mesh.identity, NOT name. A requirement is written in mesh idents (same currency as depends_on) and the mesh identity is what makes the provider independently discoverable — W338’s "each member keeps its own mesh identity". The error message still prints the provider’s name so a mismatch is diagnosable from either side.”)
@yah:handoff(“Second decision: tests/round_trip.rs::full_spec() ("every field family populated") now populates requires with BOTH a bare prefer-local/wait entry and a local/self entry carrying a nested provider (new sidecar_spec() helper). That makes the three existing round-trip tests — JSON, postcard, and Workload::Container-over-postcard — carry the recursive Option<Box<WorkloadSpec>> rather than only the flat shape, which is the thing most likely to break silently on the kamaji UDS (cf. R590-B3).”)
@yah:handoff(“Third decision: Locality/Supply get hand-written impl Default rather than #[derive(Default)] + #[default]. Three derive macros (TS, JsonSchema, Serialize) sit on the same item and a bare #[default] variant attribute is only meaningful to one of them; the explicit impl removes any question about how the others parse it, at the cost of six lines.”)
@yah:gotcha(“THE TWO DRIFT GATES ARE STILL RED, and not because of drift. check-schema-drift.sh / check-workload-spec-ts.sh regenerate and then git diff --quiet the generated paths — so they fail for ANY uncommitted regeneration, in-sync or not. The artifacts ARE regenerated and correct in the working tree (.yah/schema/workload.toml.schema.json, .yah/schema/machine.toml.schema.json, packages/yah/workload-spec/index.ts); a pathspec-scoped git commit of exactly those three was attempted and DENIED by the approval gate. Commit those three paths and both gates go green — nothing else is needed.”)
@yah:gotcha(“Do NOT commit the SOURCE files alongside them in one shot. Several call sites the sweep touched — oss/yubaba/crates/yubaba/src/headscale_appliance.rs, oss/yubaba/crates/cloud/src/config.rs, oss/yubaba/crates/yubaba/src/deploy/mesh_resolve.rs — hold live peers’ in-flight hunks in the same files, and git cannot split uncommitted edits by author, so a pathspec commit on those paths sweeps a peer’s WIP in with mine.”)
@yah:handoff(“LANDED (uncommitted in the working tree). W338 requirement vocabulary in oss/yah-base/crates/workload-spec/src/lib.rs: Locality { Anywhere, PreferLocal, Local } (kebab-case wire: anywhere / prefer-local / local, default Anywhere); Supply { Wait, SelfProvision } (wire: wait / "self" via #[serde(rename)], default Wait); Requirement { ident: MeshIdent, locality, supply, provides: Option<Box<WorkloadSpec>> } with locality/supply/provides all #[serde(default)] and provides #[ts(optional = nullable)]. All three derive the LifecycleArchetype set (Debug/Clone/PartialEq/Serialize/Deserialize/TS + schemars::JsonSchema under json-schema); Locality/Supply also Copy/Eq.

Dedup by ident, requires wins, order = requires-first. Doc comment states callers MUST NOT read requires or depends_on directly. Vocabulary only — nothing branches on locality/supply yet, per the R572-F1 precedent.”)
@yah:handoff(“Validation: new check_requires() in src/validate.rs, called from shape() right after check_mesh_ports, plus a new FieldPath::Requires(usize) rendering as requires[i]. Four rules, each with an explicit message: (1) supply="self" requires provides Some / supply="wait" requires None, both directions; (2) a provides spec’s expose.mesh.identity must equal the Requirement::ident; (3) depth 1 — a provides spec may not itself carry a supply="self" requirement (nested "wait" IS allowed and is tested); (4) idents unique within requires, and none may equal the spec’s own mesh identity.”)
@yah:handoff(“Tests: 15 new in lib.rs mod tests beside the effective_archetype ones — wire spellings (incl. the "self" rename), bare-ident defaults, recursive JSON round trip, the four effective_requirements cases (requires-only / depends_on-only / both-with-overlap / both-empty), and one per validation rule plus a positive case and the nested-wait-is-fine case. cargo test --manifest-path oss/yah-base/crates/workload-spec/Cargo.toml: lib 156 -> 171 passed, integration 98 -> 98 passed, 0 failed either side. cargo build for the crate clean.

None of appliance_ownership.rs, headscale_state.rs, litestream.rs, leader.rs or cluster_policy.rs was touched.”)

Confirmed with cargo check --manifest-path app/yah/desktop/Cargo.toml --no-default-features: runs to completion, only pre-existing unused-import/unused-variable warnings, zero errors. BLIND SPOT WORTH NAMING: the desktop crate is EXCLUDED from the root workspace, so cargo build --workspace never compiles it. Anyone adding a field to WorkloadSpec must check app/yah/desktop separately by manifest-path — the root workspace is not the full radius.”)
@yah:gotcha(“CORRECTION TO MY OWN EARLIER HANDOFF LINE "all four workspaces build –all-targets clean" — THAT CLAIM WAS WRONG. I ran those builds as cargo build ... | grep -E \"E0063|^error\" and read an EMPTY output file as success. It was not: those runs were being cut short, and a pipeline’s exit code is grep’s, not cargo’s, so nothing surfaced the failure. Re-run with an explicit ${PIPESTATUS[0]} marker, cargo check --workspace --all-targets returned ROOT_EXIT=101 with a real E0063 at crates/yah/hub/src/workload.rs. Lesson for anyone verifying a build behind a grep: print PIPESTATUS and a trailing DONE marker, or you cannot distinguish "clean" from "never finished".”)
@yah:handoff(“Sites 24-35, found by re-scanning after the desktop miss: 12 more WorkloadSpec literals needed requires: vec![],. crates/yah/hub/src/workload.rs (this one BROKE cargo check --workspace outright — it is a root-workspace member with the literal inside #[cfg(test)] mod tests); oss/kamaji/crates/kamaji/src/{containerd,docker,fake,native}.rs; oss/kamaji/crates/kamaji/tests/jit_lazy_fork.rs; oss/kamaji/crates/kamaji/examples/native_supervise.rs; oss/kamaji/crates/kamaji-bin/src/{containerd.rs, server.rs x2}; oss/kamaji/crates/kamaji-bin/tests/sibling_wire_e2e.rs; oss/kamaji/crates/kamaji-containerd-core/src/lib.rs. Running total: 35 call sites, all the same inert one-liner.”)
@yah:handoff(“FULL RADIUS for a WorkloadSpec field change, learned the hard way across three misses. It is FOUR cargo workspaces plus TWO excluded manifests, and --all-targets is not enough on kamaji because several backends sit behind non-default features: (1) cargo check --workspace --all-targets [root]; (2) --manifest-path oss/yah-base/Cargo.toml --all-targets; (3) --manifest-path oss/yubaba/Cargo.toml --all-targets; (4) --manifest-path oss/kamaji/Cargo.toml --all-targets --all-features; (5) --manifest-path app/yah/desktop/Cargo.toml --no-default-features (EXCLUDED from the root workspace — cargo build --workspace never sees it); (6) grep the tree directly for WorkloadSpec { literals rather than trusting any one build. A text scan is the only check that does not depend on feature flags or workspace membership.”)
@yah:handoff(“Verified after the 12-site fix, with explicit PIPESTATUS and a trailing DONE marker this time: cargo check --manifest-path oss/kamaji/Cargo.toml --all-targets --all-features -> KAMAJI_EXIT=0, fully clean. cargo check --workspace --all-targets -> ZERO E0063 remaining, so the R860-T1 sweep is complete for the root workspace; it still exits 101 on 2 errors in yah (lib) that are NOT E0063 and not from this ticket — being attributed separately, and @Ashguard:adacf33c is running cargo test -p yah --lib -- cloud:: against that same crate right now.”)
@yah:gotcha(“The root workspace still exits 101, but NOT from R860-T1 — attributed and it is a peer’s. app/yah/cli/src/keys_doctor.rs does not PARSE: 4331:1 "unknown start of token: \" and 4336:5 a /// doc comment not attached to an item, inside what reads as a mangled R856-T10/T11 annotation block.

@yah:handoff(“Sweep edits audited by content after @Ashguard:spade hit an over-escaped-heredoc bug in the same window: git diff -U0 across crates/yah/hub, oss/kamaji and app/yah/desktop/src/shell_host.rs yields exactly 14 added lines, all byte-identical requires: vec![], (10 at 12-space indent, 4 at 8-space) and nothing else. Worth doing rather than reasoning about — a quoted heredoc (<<‘PY’) passes backslashes through to python unexpanded, an unquoted one does not, and the difference silently lands a literal two-character \n in source. That is exactly what broke app/yah/cli/src/keys_doctor.rs:4331 (R856-T11, fixed by its owner). If you script a multi-site edit, diff the result and count the added lines.”)
@yah:handoff(“CORRECTION TO THIS TICKET’S OWN FIRST VERIFICATION CLAIM — the sweep was 35 call sites, not 22, and the \"all four workspaces build clean\" line recorded earlier was FALSE. Two independent verifications had reported clean without ever running: (a) cargo build … | grep -E \\\"E0063|^error\\\" was read as success on empty output, but a pipeline’s exit status is grep’s, not cargo’s, and those runs were being cut short — so \"no output\" meant \"never finished\"; re-run with ${PIPESTATUS[0]} and a trailing marker, the same command returned ROOT_EXIT=101. (b) An rg -l --glob cross-check was a silent no-op, because this shell’s rg is ugrep, which rejects --glob and returns zero files. One of the 13 missed sites (crates/yah/hub/src/workload.rs) was breaking cargo check --workspace outright and 11 more were latent in kamaji. All 13 are now patched with the same inert requires: vec![],.”)
@yah:verify(“POST-CORRECTION STATE, checked with explicit exit codes rather than grep-on-a-pipeline. cargo check --manifest-path app/yah/desktop/Cargo.toml --no-default-features → runs to completion, 0 errors (13 pre-existing warnings) — leader re-ran this independently. oss/kamaji –all-targets –all-features → KAMAJI_EXIT=0. cargo check --workspace --all-targets → zero E0063 remaining, sweep complete. THE RADIUS FOR A WorkloadSpec FIELD CHANGE IS SIX COMMANDS, NOT ONE: the root workspace excludes app/yah/desktop and each oss/ is its own workspace, so cargo build --workspace has a blind spot exactly the size of the excluded crates — which is how the desktop miss survived, and it was @Ashguard:dragon (R863) hitting the E0063 that surfaced it.”)
@yah:verify(“FINAL, all with explicit ${PIPESTATUS[0]} and a trailing DONE marker: cargo check --workspace --all-targets -> ROOT_EXIT=0 (green, once @Ashguard:spade fixed the keys_doctor.rs parse error); cargo check --manifest-path oss/kamaji/Cargo.toml --all-targets --all-features -> KAMAJI_EXIT=0; cargo check --manifest-path app/yah/desktop/Cargo.toml --no-default-features -> zero errors; cargo test --manifest-path oss/yah-base/crates/workload-spec/Cargo.toml -> lib 171 passed / integration 98 passed / 0 failed (baseline was 156 / 98 / 0).

Fields§
§name: StringDNS-friendly workload name, e.g. "noisetable-api". Regex:
^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?$, length ≤ 63.
image: ImageRefContainer image to pull.
tier: TierTagTier tag controlling admission control and mesh filtering.
tenant: TenantIdTenant isolation axis (W206). Separates operators’ workloads at the
network / DB / mesh-identity level. Defaults to TenantId::singleton
for specs that predate the axis, so single-tenant clusters keep every
isolation primitive a no-op. Orthogonal to Self::tier (class) and
Self::namespace (routing).
namespace: NamespaceIdNamespace routing/naming axis (W206). A pure naming key — never
affects isolation; disambiguates DNS names and selects config root /
provider zone within a tenant. Defaults to NamespaceId::singleton.
replicas: u32Target replica count. 0 registers the workload without deploying it.
Range: 0–100 (cluster-wide cap; operator can raise it).
command: Option<Vec<String>>Override the image’s CMD. None leaves the image default.
entrypoint: Option<Vec<String>>Override the image’s ENTRYPOINT. None leaves the image default.
workdir: Option<PathBuf>Working directory inside the container.
user: Option<String>User to run as, e.g. "1000:1000" or "appuser".
env: Vec<EnvVar>Environment variables. Values may be literals, secret refs, or mesh-address references resolved by yubaba at deploy time.
secrets: Vec<SecretMount>Secret mounts. Values never appear in the spec JSON — only references.
volumes: Vec<VolumeMount>Volume mounts.
resources: ResourceLimitsHard resource caps enforced by containerd/cgroups.
depends_on: Vec<MeshIdent>Mesh idents that must reach Ready before this workload starts.
Superseded by Self::requires (R860-T1 / W338) and kept as-is for
wire compatibility: every entry here means exactly
Locality::Anywhere + Supply::Wait. Callers MUST NOT read this
directly — use WorkloadSpec::effective_requirements, which folds
both fields into one list.
requires: Vec<Requirement>What this workload needs before it can run, with locality and supply
(R860-T1 / W338). The widened form of Self::depends_on.
Additive: this field did not exist before R860-T1, and a spec that omits
it is unchanged in meaning. Callers MUST NOT read this directly either —
WorkloadSpec::effective_requirements is the only supported read,
because a spec written against the old vocabulary carries its
requirements in depends_on and would otherwise look requirement-free.
Vocabulary only: nothing branches on locality or supply yet. The
deploy gate (R860-T2) and the placement group (R860-T4) are separate,
later tickets — this field alone changes no runtime behaviour, exactly
as Self::archetype landed in R572-F1.
healthcheck: Option<Healthcheck>Container liveness/readiness probe.
restart_policy: RestartPolicyWhat yubaba does when the container exits.
archetype: Option<LifecycleArchetype>Explicit lifecycle archetype (R572-F1 / W244): server, appliance,
or job. None means the spec predates this field (or the author
didn’t set it) — callers MUST NOT read this directly to decide
drainability; use WorkloadSpec::effective_archetype, which falls
back to the pre-R572 volumes/restart_policy inference so no
existing spec’s effective meaning changes.
Additive: this field did not exist before R572-F1. Reconciler (F4) and scheduler (F5) branching on the resolved archetype are separate, later tickets — this field alone changes no runtime behavior.
stop_policy: StopPolicyGraceful shutdown configuration.
expose: ExposeSpecNetwork exposure configuration — mesh, public, and operator channels are independent and can be set in any combination.
durability: Option<Durability>Where a second copy of this workload’s state lives, and how far behind
it may be (R850-P4). None means nobody said, which is a different
answer from a declared DurabilityTier::None — see
WorkloadSpec::durability, the only supported read, since it also
enforces the cross-field rules serde cannot.
Additive and defaulted: a peer that predates the field sends no
declaration, which is exactly what it meant (R896-F3). It replaced the
yah.durability.* annotation family; a spec still carrying one of
those keys is refused rather than read as undeclared.
db: Vec<WorkloadDb>Databases this workload declares for the data workbench (R960-F6, W358
decision 7). Each row with workbench != none surfaces in the camp’s
catalog as fleet:<workload>:<name>; the row itself starts no
connection. Read through WorkloadSpec::db_rows, which also enforces
the cross-field rules serde cannot.
Additive and defaulted: a peer that predates the field ignores it (no
deny_unknown_fields), which is safe — db only feeds the camp-side
catalog, never a node’s behaviour.
Always serialized, even when empty. skip_serializing_if would be
the obvious way to keep an empty db out of the kamaji spec digest, but
this struct rides positional postcard too (tests/round_trip.rs), where
it misaligns the frame. The digest strips an empty db itself — see
kamaji_proto::digest::spec_digest.
capabilities: Vec<WorkloadCapability>What this workload offers the mesh, each bound to one of its named
expose.mesh.ports (R960-F8, W358). The node running it publishes
these on GET /services. A vend WorkloadDb row adds its own
sql.hrana capability; it is not repeated here. Read through
WorkloadSpec::served_capabilities.
Always serialized, and stripped from the kamaji digest when empty, for
the same postcard reason as Self::db.
labels: HashMap<String, String>OCI-style labels, passed through to the container. Opaque to yubaba.
annotations: HashMap<String, String>Yah-specific metadata, conventionally prefixed yah.*. Opaque to
yubaba beyond yah.forge=true which suppresses the Never-restart guard.
files: Vec<InlineFile>Config files the node writes out before the workload starts, and rewrites on every redeploy (R870-F23).
The case this exists for is a workload whose configuration is derived
from the control plane’s own config rather than baked into an image or
expressible as an env var: R870’s inner door reads its mount table from
a JSON file (PASSWAY_PATH_ROUTES_FILE), because a mount carries an
upstream set and a header map and an env var would have to invent two
nesting levels inside one string.
Why this belongs to the spec and not to a separate materialization
step. The file’s content is a pure function of the same plan that
produced this spec, so it has to change at exactly the moment the spec
does. Carrying it here makes that true by construction: one deploy
writes the file and starts the process that reads it, and a redeploy
rewrites it and re-execs. A separate “write the config, then deploy”
step is two owners of one fact, and the seam between them is a door
serving a stale route table for however long the two are out of step —
the failure mode CLAUDE.md’s R858 entry is the standing example of.
Not a secret channel: content is stored in the spec in the clear and
travels wherever the spec travels. Secrets go through
SecretMount, which resolves by reference at the node.
Appended last, #[serde(default)], no skip_serializing_if: the
postcard codec is positional, so the field is always encoded and every
spec that predates it decodes to an empty vec — i.e. unchanged.

image: ImageRef,
tier: TierTag,
ports: Vec<u16>,
) -> Self
pub fn for_forge( forge_id: &str, image: ImageRef, tier: TierTag, ports: Vec<u16>, ) -> Self
Build a WorkloadSpec for a forge run.
Sets the conventional forge fields in one place so callers cannot forget any of them:
restart_policy = Neverarchetype = Some(LifecycleArchetype::Job)— a forge run is exactly thecontainer-kind instance of the job archetype (W244); set explicitly rather than left to infer since this constructor knows its own shapeexpose.public = None,expose.operator = Noneexpose.mesh.identity = "forge.<forge_id>"annotations["yah.forge"] = "true"(suppresses the shape warning)tierandimagecome from the caller;portsbecomes the mesh port list (empty is valid — forge jobs often don’t expose ports)
All other fields are set to safe defaults. Callers can mutate the
returned value to fill in command, env, resources, etc.
Sourcepub fn wants_host_network(&self) -> bool
pub fn wants_host_network(&self) -> bool
Whether this workload requests the host network namespace rather than an isolated one.
Opt-in via annotations["yah.network"] == "host" (see
HOST_NETWORK_ANNOTATION / HOST_NETWORK_VALUE). Default is the
isolated netns every other workload gets — host networking is a
privileged escape hatch for the few infra workloads that must bind a
host port so an on-host ingress (e.g. a Cloudflare tunnel reaching
127.0.0.1:<port>) can route to them without CNI/bridge plumbing.
The backend (kamaji) is responsible for guarding this: host
networking is only honoured for tier == "infra" workloads; a
non-infra workload that sets the annotation is rejected at deploy. See
validate_spec_for_constable.
Sourcepub fn effective_archetype(&self) -> LifecycleArchetype
pub fn effective_archetype(&self) -> LifecycleArchetype
Resolve the lifecycle archetype (R572-F1 / W244): the explicit
Self::archetype if set, otherwise the pre-R572 inference from
volumes/restart_policy this field replaces.
This is the one seam callers should use to ask “can I kill and
reschedule this?” — it is intentionally the only place that
implements the fallback, so behavior for pre-existing specs (no
archetype on disk) is identical to what it was before this field
existed. Consumers (reconciler R572-F4, scheduler R572-F5) branch on
the return value; this crate does not itself change any reconciler or
scheduler behavior.
Sourcepub fn effective_requirements(&self) -> Vec<Requirement>
pub fn effective_requirements(&self) -> Vec<Requirement>
Resolve what this workload needs (R860-T1 / W338): Self::requires,
then every Self::depends_on ident not already named there, folded
into the Anywhere + Wait requirement that a bare depends_on entry
has always meant.
This is the one seam callers should use to ask “what does this workload
need?” — it is intentionally the only place that implements the fold,
so a spec written before requires existed keeps its exact previous
meaning. Callers MUST NOT read Self::requires or
Self::depends_on directly: reading either alone silently drops half
the requirements of any spec that uses both.
Deduplicated by ident, and requires wins — an ident named in both is
the author restating a dependency with a locality, not two separate
edges. Consumers (the deploy gate R860-T2, the placement group R860-T4)
branch on the return value; this crate does not itself change any
deploy or placement behaviour.
Sourcepub fn fq_mesh_identity(&self) -> String
pub fn fq_mesh_identity(&self) -> String
Fully-qualified mesh identity <tenant>/<namespace>/<name> (W206 /
R558-F3), where <name> is this workload’s MeshExpose::identity.
Within a tenant, workloads still address each other by the short
identity (namespace disambiguates only on collision); the FQN is what
makes the identity unambiguous across tenants and is exactly what a
MeshPeer::CrossTenant grant names.
Sourcepub fn requires_taint(&self) -> Option<&str>
pub fn requires_taint(&self) -> Option<&str>
The taint this workload requires its node to carry, if any (R594-F2 / W267 sovereign public ingress).
Opt-in via annotations["yah.placement.requires-taint"] = "<taint name>" (see REQUIRES_TAINT_ANNOTATION) — same annotation-based,
zero-blast-radius shape as Self::wants_host_network, chosen so
declaring this requirement does not force a struct-literal edit at
every existing WorkloadSpec { .. } construction site the way a new
plain field would (see R572-F1’s handoff: ~26 sites for one field).
Both halves have since landed: MachineConfig.taints (R572-F3) and the
scheduler’s affinity check in cloud::config::RequiredSpec::matches
(R572-F5), which requires the key in the node’s taints or
mesh_tags.
A key named here is one of only two ways a node taint can influence
placement — the other is the no-<archetype> repulsion form. W305/
R742-T4 makes yah cloud validate reject any node taint that is
neither, so a new affinity key must be added to
cloud::config::AFFINITY_TAINT_KEYS alongside the workload that
requires it.
The public-ingress appliance (W267) is the first user: a
kind = "container" workload with archetype = Some(LifecycleArchetype::Appliance) and
requires_taint() == Some(PUBLIC_IP_TAINT), so yubaba may one day
place it only on machines carrying the "public-ip" taint and kamaji
supervises it like any other container (no new Workload variant —
see Workload::Container’s doc comment).
Sourcepub fn memory_request_mb(&self) -> u32
pub fn memory_request_mb(&self) -> u32
The memory (MiB) a scheduler must find on a node before placing this
workload — its request, as distinct from ResourceLimits::memory_mb,
which is a ceiling the backend turns into a cgroup memory.max.
Opt-in via ResourceLimits::memory_request_mb; absent falls back to
resources.memory_mb, so every spec that does not set it is admitted
exactly as it was before the request existed.
§Why the two numbers must not be the same one
A limit answers “kill it past here”; a request answers “don’t start it somewhere smaller than here”. Generous is the safe direction for the first and the unschedulable direction for the second, so one field serving both makes a deliberately-roomy ceiling into an admission floor.
That is not hypothetical: WorkloadSpec::for_forge sets a 32 GiB
ceiling explicitly reasoned as “above physical RAM on smaller
build-workers ⇒ effectively unlimited there” (R590-B10), and
CloudConfig::admit_workload fed that same 32768 in as the R572-F5
capacity floor. Every build-worker under 32 GiB — the three 8 GiB Pi-5s
and the 16 GiB us-west-003 — became structurally unadmittable for any
offloaded qed step, leaving one 47 GiB node as the fleet’s only legal
target for remote CI. This is R590-B10’s own recorded follow-up
(“thread a per-step memory request … instead of a blanket forge
default”), reduced to the seam that closes the bug.
Sourcepub fn cpu_limit_millis(&self) -> Option<u32>
pub fn cpu_limit_millis(&self) -> Option<u32>
The hard CPU ceiling (millicores) a backend may enforce, if the workload
declares one — the exact mirror of Self::memory_request_mb, which
adds the missing request beside a field that is a ceiling. Here the
field (ResourceLimits::cpu_millis) is the request and this adds the
missing ceiling.
Opt-in via ResourceLimits::cpu_limit_millis. Absent or 0 means no
ceiling: the workload gets its declared share of a contended node and
may burst to the whole box on an idle one. That is the default because
cpu_millis is documented as a request, and every backend but one has
always rendered it as a relative weight
(ResourceLimits::cpu_shares).
§Why this exists (R885-B5 / W344 Finding 5)
R885-B1 wired the cgroup v2 driver onto the live native deploy path, and
that driver rendered cpu_millis into cpu.max — a hard quota. Measured
on us-east-001 on 2026-09-11: four native workloads at
cpu.max = 25600 100000, i.e. capped at 0.256 of a core even on an idle
node, where before the wiring they could burst to the whole machine. A
request rendered as a ceiling is a semantic bug, not a missing feature.
Sourcepub fn pids_limit(&self) -> u32
pub fn pids_limit(&self) -> u32
The hard process-count ceiling (cgroup v2 pids.max) a backend
enforces on this workload’s leaf — R885-T2 (W344 Finding 3: “no bound
on a fork bomb, accidental or otherwise”).
Shaped like Self::cpu_limit_millis (an opt-in override), but its
default runs the OPPOSITE direction on purpose. An absent
cpu_limit_millis correctly means “no ceiling”, because cpu_millis
already has a well-defined request-only meaning without it. There is no
such fallback for pids: “unbounded” is precisely the bug R885-T2 closed,
not a feature to preserve, so absent or 0 both fall back to
DEFAULT_PIDS_MAX instead of to “unset”.
DEFAULT_PIDS_MAX’s doc comment records where the number comes
from and why it does not need to be tight to be useful.
Opt-in override via ResourceLimits::pids_max for a workload that
legitimately needs a different bound.
Sourcepub fn scratch_floor_mb(&self) -> Option<u32>
pub fn scratch_floor_mb(&self) -> Option<u32>
A floor on the microVM scratch disk in MiB — the smallest workspace
this workload is willing to be given, or None for “the backend’s own
floor is fine”.
Opt-in via ResourceLimits::scratch_floor_mb. Absent or 0 both mean
no declared floor; the microVM backend still applies its own
(microvm::WORKSPACE_MIN_BYTES), which is what actually sizes every
workload in this tree today.
§Why this replaced a field (R885-T6 / W344)
It is the successor to ResourceLimits::ephemeral_storage_mb, which was
deleted rather than renamed because the field lied. Its doc comment
called it a “cap on the writable layer + tmpfs footprint” and no backend
ever enforced it as one — not the OCI resources block, not docker’s
argv, and deliberately not the cgroup v2 driver. Its single live
consumer, microvm::workspace::disk_size_bytes, read it as a
floor, i.e. the exact opposite. for_forge then set it to 512 MiB,
a number that as a cap would have failed every build at its first
checkout and as a floor was simply ignored.
A field that means one thing at its definition and the reverse at its
only use is not a field to keep compatible with, so per the pre-1.0
doctrine in CLAUDE.md the design changed instead of being taped: the
floor is now spelled floor.
Sourcepub fn wants_native_exec(&self) -> bool
pub fn wants_native_exec(&self) -> bool
Whether this workload must be run by kamaji’s native (fork+exec) backend on the node’s own userland, rather than by a container backend (R577-T1 / W254).
Opt-in via annotations["yah.exec"] == "native" (see
NATIVE_EXEC_ANNOTATION / NATIVE_EXEC_VALUE) — the same
annotation-shaped, zero-blast-radius marker as
Self::wants_host_network and Self::requires_taint, chosen over
a new plain field for the reason R572-F1 recorded: a field forces a
struct-literal edit at every existing construction site and an
exhaustive-match update in kamaji-proto’s codec, and this marker
needs neither.
§Why an annotation and not a runtime enum on the wire
The remote-execution wire already carries exactly one workload shape —
Workload::Container(WorkloadSpec) — and every layer between the
dispatcher and the node (yubaba admission, mesh assignment, log
ingest, produced-file retrieval, teardown) is written against it. A
Darwin build differs from a Linux build in one respect: there is no
container that can host it, because you cannot containerize the Darwin
kernel. Marking that one difference keeps the rest of the path shared
instead of growing a parallel exec_native RPC that would have to
re-implement all of it.
image stays populated for a native workload and is identity
metadata only — nothing is pulled; the native backend resolves argv
from entrypoint + command (container semantics) and execs it on
the host.
Sourcepub fn wants_resume_after_restart(&self) -> bool
pub fn wants_resume_after_restart(&self) -> bool
Whether this workload asks its node’s kamaji to replay it after kamaji
restarts. See RESUME_AFTER_RESTART_ANNOTATION for why it is opt-in.
Sourcepub fn wants_float(&self) -> bool
pub fn wants_float(&self) -> bool
Whether this workload is a cluster floater. See FLOAT_ANNOTATION.
Sourcepub fn wants_microvm(&self) -> bool
pub fn wants_microvm(&self) -> bool
Whether this workload must be run by kamaji’s microVM backend — booted in its own KVM guest with its own kernel, rather than sharing the host kernel with every other workload on the node (R605-F8 / W325 §5).
Opt-in via annotations["yah.exec"] == "microvm" (see
NATIVE_EXEC_ANNOTATION / MICROVM_EXEC_VALUE).
§Why the same key as native exec, not a new one
W325’s Shape A calls this “a sibling branch on a new annotation value”,
and the value — not the key — is the whole point. yah.exec names the
execution substrate, and a workload has exactly one:
yah.exec | substrate | kernel | isolation |
|---|---|---|---|
| (absent) | container backend | host’s | namespaces + cgroup |
native | fork+exec on the host | host’s | none |
microvm | KVM guest | its own | hardware |
A second key (yah.isolation = microvm, say) would make
yah.exec = native + yah.isolation = microvm expressible, and
therefore something a dispatcher could emit and a backend would have to
refuse — exactly the refusal validate_native_exec_spec already has to
carry for the yah.sandbox pair, and for the same avoidable reason. A
map key holds one value, so on this key the three substrates are
mutually exclusive by construction: there is no spec on which both
this and Self::wants_native_exec return true, and
exec_substrate_markers_are_mutually_exclusive_by_construction pins
that.
§What the marker does and does not promise
Like every marker on this struct it is inert metadata — it declares
intent and nothing more. Whether a node can honour it is a node
capability question (/dev/kvm, a guest kernel, a rootfs; see W325 §4),
and a node whose kamaji has no microVM backend configured refuses
the deploy rather than falling back to a container. That refusal is
deliberate and mirrors R577-T1’s: a caller asking for microVM isolation
is asking for the one property a container cannot provide, so silently
downgrading it would return success while delivering the thing the
caller specifically declined.
image is identity metadata only, as it is for native exec — nothing is
pulled. The guest’s root filesystem comes from the node’s configured
rootfs image, and argv is resolved from entrypoint + command with
container semantics, so one spec shape drives all three substrates.
Sourcepub fn exec_substrate(&self) -> ExecSubstrate
pub fn exec_substrate(&self) -> ExecSubstrate
The substrate this spec selects, as an ordered value (R894-F1).
The same reading Self::wants_native_exec and Self::wants_microvm
perform, collapsed into one total function so that “which substrate is
this” has a single answer rather than two booleans a caller re-combines.
Every existing if wants_native_exec() … else if wants_microvm() …
ladder in the tree is that re-combination, and R605-F8’s own doc notes
that a duplicated ladder is exactly what drifts when a fourth substrate
arrives.
An unrecognised yah.exec value reads as ExecSubstrate::Container,
preserving what both predicates already do. That is the fail-closed
direction for the trust check in Self::trust’s consumers: a typo’d
microvm on an untrusted spec reads as a container and is refused,
rather than reading as the microVM the author meant to ask for.
Sourcepub fn trust(&self) -> Result<TrustLevel, TrustDeclError>
pub fn trust(&self) -> Result<TrustLevel, TrustDeclError>
How far this workload’s code is trusted, from TRUST_ANNOTATION
(R894-F1).
Absent means TrustLevel::Trusted — see that type’s docs for why that
default is safe only because of where the untrusted marker is stamped.
An unrecognised value is an Err, never a fallback to either side.
Sourcepub fn stamp_untrusted(&mut self)
pub fn stamp_untrusted(&mut self)
Stamp this spec as carrying code the operator did not write, and raise its substrate request to the minimum that trust level requires.
This is the choke-point verb. Any constructor that turns third-party
bytes (a tenant image, a vended camp, a user-supplied argv) into a
WorkloadSpec calls it in the same function that takes those bytes, so
the marker cannot be lost by a caller who forgets. R823 is the first such
path.
It raises the substrate rather than only marking trust because the two halves belong to the same decision and splitting them across two call sites is how one of them goes missing. Raising is one-directional: a caller that already asked for something at least as strong keeps its own request, so stamping a spec that explicitly wants a microVM is a no-op and stamping is idempotent.
A spec that had asked for native becomes microvm. That is not a
silent downgrade — it is a widening of isolation, the safe direction —
and it happens at the moment the untrusted origin is established, not at
admission, where the same mismatch is a refusal.
Sourcepub fn wants_nested_sandbox(&self) -> bool
pub fn wants_nested_sandbox(&self) -> bool
Whether this workload builds its own unprivileged container sandbox
inside the one the backend gives it, and therefore needs the two
capabilities plus the no_new_privs relaxation that setting up a
user namespace requires (R636-B2).
Opt-in via annotations["yah.sandbox"] == "nested" (see
NESTED_SANDBOX_ANNOTATION / NESTED_SANDBOX_VALUE) — the same
annotation-shaped, zero-blast-radius marker as
Self::wants_host_network and Self::wants_native_exec.
§What it actually grants, and why exactly that
Rootless BuildKit (the only user today: remote build-image steps
dispatch moby/buildkit:*-rootless) boots through rootlesskit, which
must map a range of sub-uids into a fresh user namespace. It does that
by exec’ing the setuid-root helpers newuidmap / newgidmap, so
it needs CAP_SETUID + CAP_SETGID in the bounding set and
noNewPrivileges = false (with no_new_privs on, the kernel silently
strips the setuid bit and the helper fails with “Could not set caps”).
Each of those three was measured on us-west-002 to be individually
necessary — dropping any one of them puts rootlesskit back to
failing before the first layer:
| grant | rootlesskit result |
|---|---|
baseline (CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE only, nnp on) | fork/exec /usr/bin/newuidmap: operation not permitted |
+CAP_SETUID only, nnp off | fork/exec /usr/bin/newgidmap: operation not permitted |
+CAP_SETUID +CAP_SETGID, nnp on | newuidmap: Could not set caps |
+CAP_SETUID +CAP_SETGID, nnp off | starts; build runs to completion |
It is deliberately not CAP_SYS_ADMIN: a non-rootless buildkitd
would need that instead, which is a far wider grant. Emptying
/etc/subuid to force rootlesskit’s single-mapping path does not
avoid the helpers either — it just fails earlier with “No subuid
ranges found”.
The backend guards this. Like host networking, it is honoured only
for tier == "infra" workloads; a non-infra workload that sets the
annotation is rejected at deploy. Every other workload keeps the
CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE-only, no_new_privs baseline.
§Mutually exclusive with Self::wants_native_exec
This grant is defined in terms of an OCI process spec — a
capability set and a noNewPrivileges bit. A native (fork+exec)
workload has no OCI spec, so there is nothing to apply it to; kamaji
refuses a spec carrying both markers rather than accepting a request
for widened privileges and silently dropping it (R577-T1 owns that
refusal). The two are independent annotations — neither implies the
other, which is what
nested_sandbox_marker_is_independent_of_the_other_markers pins — but
they are not a legal pair.
If a future runtime does have a sandbox worth widening (a MacVM under
W254, say), give it its own annotation rather than relaxing that
refusal. The grant this marker names is CAP_SETUID + CAP_SETGID +
no_new_privs off and nothing else; letting it mean a different
privilege set per backend would make “what does yah.sandbox=nested
grant?” unanswerable without knowing which backend received it, which
is precisely what a security-relevant marker must not be.
Sourcepub fn writable_paths(&self) -> Result<Vec<PathBuf>, WritablePathsDeclError>
pub fn writable_paths(&self) -> Result<Vec<PathBuf>, WritablePathsDeclError>
The host paths this workload declares it writes to (R885-B11 / W344),
from WRITABLE_PATHS_ANNOTATION. Empty when nothing is declared.
This is the input to kamaji’s native filesystem confinement: a native
workload is a plain fork+exec on the host, so the only description of
what it may write is the one its spec carries. kamaji::sandbox unions
these with the spec’s Bind volumes and denies writes everywhere else —
and confines only a workload that declares one or the other, so a
spec that says nothing about its writes is not silently guessed at.
§Why an annotation rather than a field
It qualifies the substrate markers (yah.exec, yah.sandbox) that
already ride the annotation map, and it is a policy hint for the
sandbox rather than a fact about the workload’s shape. (The original
reason — a positional postcard wire on which every new field was a
protocol bump — stopped holding at kamaji-proto V13, R896-F2.)
[annotations]
"yah.writable-paths" = "/var/lib/yah/qed,/tmp"§What is refused, and why refused rather than normalized
A relative entry, a ./.. component, an empty entry (a stray comma),
or a duplicate. Each of these would otherwise turn into a grant — a
landlock rule is PathBeneath, so a mis-resolved path does not fail
closed, it opens a subtree nobody asked for. Normalizing silently is how
you grant write access to the wrong directory and never hear about it.
Note that a declared path is a ceiling, not a mount: nothing here creates a directory. A path that does not exist on the node is skipped (with a warning) when the ruleset is built.
Sourcepub fn db_rows(&self) -> Result<&[WorkloadDb], DbDeclError>
pub fn db_rows(&self) -> Result<&[WorkloadDb], DbDeclError>
The durability tier this workload declares for its own state, if it declares one at all (R850-P4).
Ok(None) and Ok(Some(tier: DurabilityTier::None)) are different
answers and must stay different: the first is “nobody said”, the
second is “somebody looked and decided not to”. A named volume with no
declaration is the shape that loses every byte when its node dies, and
collapsing the two would let the analyzer report that case in the same
words as a deliberately-ephemeral cache.
[durability]
tier = "stream" # none|snapshot|dedup|stream
engine = "turso" # required by every tier but "none"
store = "s3://yah-backups/noisetable-account"
subjects = ["accounts.db", "passkeys.db", "sessions.db"]
rpo_seconds = 120 # stream only§Read this, not the field
Serde refuses an unknown tier or engine and a non-numeric RPO, but it
cannot see the rules that span fields — a shipping tier with no store,
an RPO on a snapshot tier, a subject that escapes its volume. Those are
Durability::check, and this accessor is the one read that applies
it, so a malformed declaration refuses at every consumer rather than only
at the ones that remembered to validate.
§The retired annotations (R896-F3)
This declaration was the yah.durability.* annotation family until
kamaji-proto V13 made a field addition cross a skew. Any surviving key
of that family is DurabilityDeclError::RetiredAnnotation, never
ignored: an ignored annotation is indistinguishable from an absent one,
and “absent” here means “this database has no backup”.
§Why engine and subjects are not optional (R850-F1)
The tier vocabulary is turso-backup-shaped, and P4 shipped it on a
generic WorkloadSpec — so a Postgres appliance could declare tier = "stream" and mean something no code in this tree can do. engine makes
that claim explicit and refusable at parse time rather than at 3am.
subjects exists because a restore has a file as its unit and a
workload has a volume. The driving case (R850) is one process with
three turso databases inside one named volume; “restore the volume” is
not a thing turso-backup can do, and guessing which files in a directory
are databases is guessing about the only copy of somebody’s data. Paths
are volume-relative — the same string the analyzer prints and the
hydrate helper joins onto the host volume root — and are validated
against traversal, because they name a host path something will write to.
§What is and is not wired
This accessor plus validate::shape’s check on it is the whole of the
runtime effect today: declaring a tier does not yet cause a backup to
happen. turso-backup implements all three tiers
(DurabilityTier::Snapshot = its tier 1a, DurabilityTier::Dedup =
1b, DurabilityTier::Stream = 2 with restore-by-frame-replay) and,
since R850-F1, the fencing epoch a hydrate must hold
(turso_backup::claim). Nothing in yubaba’s reconciler calls into any of
it yet.
Until that lands, the declaration’s value is exactly that
cloud::topology can tell an operator, before the topology is
committed, which of their stateful workloads has no second copy of its
bytes anywhere.
The [[db]] rows, after the rules serde cannot enforce: names are
non-blank and unique, and a snapshot row needs a [durability] whose
subjects include its subject. A vend row needs a mesh port named
sql and a verify-key secret mount (R960-F8), and every
capabilities row must name a declared mesh port.
Sourcepub fn served_capabilities(&self) -> Vec<ServedCapability>
pub fn served_capabilities(&self) -> Vec<ServedCapability>
Everything a node running this spec publishes on GET /services:
the declared Self::capabilities, then one sql.hrana row per
vend WorkloadDb on the sql port.
pub fn durability(&self) -> Result<Option<&Durability>, DurabilityDeclError>
Sourcepub fn retired_annotation(&self) -> Option<(&str, &'static str)>
pub fn retired_annotation(&self) -> Option<(&str, &'static str)>
The first annotation (in key order) this spec still carries from a
family R896-F3 moved into typed fields, paired with the field that
replaced it. None for every spec written against the fields.
validate::shape refuses on it. It exists because nothing reads
those keys any more, and a key nothing reads fails silently: a
yah.limits.pids-max would quietly fall back to the default bound, and
a yah.durability.tier would quietly mean “no backup”.
