Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR standardizes CI on Python 3.12 and provisions it when needed, but the current implementation still allows an arbitrary uv version, executes mutable installer content with CI permissions, and has a test that can pass without verifying the required package installation. These bounded reproducibility, security, and validation risks should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

@slin1237, thanks for the detailed explanation. I verified the five paths. The inventory and the conditional guards are accurate.
The version pin addresses the reproducibility part of the finding. It does not address the integrity part. scripts/ci_setup_python_venv.sh still executes remotely fetched content without verification. The installer can also obtain an unverified uv binary.
I agree that a check at only this call site would not provide a repository-wide guarantee. A consistent solution must cover the installer and binary across all five paths, or replace these installation paths with a verified distribution method.
I will keep this thread open because the residual security risk remains in the changed code. The implementation can be deferred from this PR if it is tracked as a dedicated follow-up. Would you like me to create a GitHub issue for that work?

Learning: The SMG repository installs `uv` through five CI paths: `scripts/ci_setup_python_venv.sh`, `scripts/ci_install_vllm.sh`, `scripts/ci_install_sglang.sh`, `scripts/ci_install_tokenspeed.sh`, and `.github/workflows/nightly-tau2.yml`. A complete supply-chain remediation must use one consistent verified `uv` distribution method across all paths, because whichever path runs first can determine the installed `uv` binary for the job.

Thanks — addressed in 36a5a73. Two taken as-is, one taken partially. 1. Don't gate on a global You're right that the condition was testing the wrong thing. What this script needs is that Now it gates on the venv module alone, and repairs a pip-less venv with 2. Pin the uv installer — pinned; checksum verification declined, with a reason. Pinned the installer URL to I've not added checksum/signature verification, and I'd rather not in this PR. Verifying one of five is worse than verifying none: it reads as "this is handled" while four unverified paths install the same binary onto the same runners, and on a self-hosted runner the first one to install wins for the whole job anyway. So it buys the appearance of a guarantee without the guarantee. If we want it, it should land across all five call sites — including a story for keeping the checksum current — as its own change. Happy to write that separately if you want it; flagging rather than silently dropping. 3. Add test coverage — added.
It stubs I also wired One thing worth stating plainly for reviewers: this PR's CI run only exercises the no-op path. Every lane here already ships 3.12, so they take the host-matches branch and download nothing. The uv branch only fires on the bare-metal GPU runners, which |

🔴 Important — Enforce UV_VERSION for existing uv.
When uv is already on PATH, the versioned installer is skipped. uv python install does not change the uv executable version. Compare uv --version with $UV_VERSION and install the requested version when they differ. Add a hermetic test for this path.

🟡 Nit: The sandbox stubs python3 and uv but not sudo or curl. The file header promises hermetic tests ("no network, no apt"), and that holds today because no test exercises the venv-module-missing branch or the uv-not-installed branch. But if a future test sets STUB_VENV_MODULE_MISSING=1, the script will call the real sudo apt, breaking the hermetic contract.
A pair of no-op stubs here would close the gap:
printf '#!/bin/bash\nexit 0\n' > "$dir/bin/sudo"
printf '#!/bin/bash\nexit 0\n' > "$dir/bin/curl"
chmod +x "$dir/bin/sudo" "$dir/bin/curl"Not blocking — just a safety net for whoever adds a test for those branches next.

`ci_setup_python_venv.sh` created the venv with a bare `python3`, which resolves to whatever the host image ships: 3.12 in the containerised pools, 3.10 on the bare-metal GPU runners. Which Python a job ran on therefore depended on which machine it landed on, and nothing declared or checked it. Every engine setup (vllm, sglang, tokenspeed, trtllm) and every nightly funnels through this one script, so the drift reached all of CI. It is not theoretical. vLLM 0.27.1 pins a flashinfer build that cannot be imported on Python < 3.12, which took out every bare-metal leg of the tau2 nightly for five consecutive runs while regular CI stayed green -- regular CI never runs 3.10, so it could not have caught it. A nightly-only failure of that shape is indistinguishable from a nightly bug until someone thinks to compare interpreters. Pin to 3.12, matching what the green lanes already run and what the repo already assumes elsewhere (ruff target-version = py312). Where the host already ships it, use it directly -- that is a no-op for every currently green lane, adds no dependency and downloads nothing. Where it does not, provision it with uv rather than mutating the machine: a standalone CPython in the user cache, no sudo, system python untouched. `uv venv` ships without pip, and downstream steps call `python3 -m pip install` inside this venv, so seed it. Assert both the interpreter version and the presence of pip before returning; the whole point is to stop this being implicit, and an unchecked assumption here resurfaces much later as an unrelated-looking import error somewhere else.

Three changes from review of the interpreter pin. Gate venv creation on the venv module rather than on a global pip3. Whether pip is installed system-wide has no bearing on whether a venv can be built or whether that venv gets pip from ensurepip, so the old check ran a pointless apt install on hosts that were already fine. Repair a pip-less venv with ensurepip instead, which is recoverable, and keep the assertion for the case that is not. Pin the uv installer URL. Every script that installs uv skips when it is already present, and this one runs first, so pinning here fixes the version for the whole job instead of inheriting whatever shipped that morning. Add scripts/tests/test_ci_setup_python_venv.sh, covering all six branches: host-matches (and that it does NOT reach for uv), uv provisioning, --seed being passed, interpreter mismatch, unrecoverable missing pip, ensurepip recovery, and the CI_PYTHON_VERSION override. It stubs python3 and uv on PATH, which keeps it hermetic -- no downloads, no network, no apt -- and is the only way to exercise the failure paths at all, since a real interpreter will not report the wrong version on request. Wire scripts/tests/*.sh into the lint job. Nothing ran them before, so both the new file and the existing test_ci_agentic_svc_deps.sh were dead weight.

build-wheel failed on the previous commit with:
Host python3 is 3.12 - creating venv with it
The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip
is not available
The pre-flight guard was changed to test `python3 -m venv --help` instead of
`command -v pip3`. On Debian the venv module and ensurepip ship in separate
packages, so `--help` succeeds on a host where creation will fail. The guard
did not fire, apt never ran, and creation died. The pip3 check it replaced
was a poor proxy but happened to be true exactly when the missing package was
missing, so removing it turned a working check into a broken one.
Stop guessing. Attempt the creation, and repair only if it actually fails:
install python3-venv/python3-pip and retry once. Attempting the operation is
the only test that cannot be wrong about whether the operation works, and the
repair costs nothing on hosts that were already fine because it runs solely
after a real failure.
Add the regression test that was missing. The stubs modelled a venv that
always created successfully, so no test could have caught this. The new case
makes creation fail until apt has run, and verified against the broken
version it fails on both assertions.

Simplification pass over the previous three commits; no behaviour change on any reachable path. Let venv creation's stderr flow instead of capturing it to a mktemp file and cat-ing it back out -- byte-identical for the reader, minus the bookkeeping. Drop the ensurepip repair on the host path. Stdlib venv cannot succeed without pip: when ensurepip is missing, creation itself fails, which is the Debian case the attempt/repair/retry already handles. The branch guarded an unreachable state, and if some host ever proves that wrong, the pip assertion still catches it loudly. Delete the stub knob for the pre-flight 'venv --help' probe the previous commit removed from the script, and the ensurepip test case along with the repair. Stub curl next to sudo and apt-get so the sandbox stays hermetic even for a future test of the uv-install branch (review nit). Compress the comment blocks that restated the PR description down to the constraints they were carrying. Signed-off-by: Alex McC <319643551+hello-alexmcc@users.noreply.github.com>

The suite stubbed python3, uv, sudo and apt-get to replay the script's branches against a hand-built model of the world. What it verified, the script now verifies about itself on every real run: the interpreter and pip assertions execute in every CI job, against real interpreters, which is a stronger check than any simulation of one. The blind spot is not hypothetical -- the Debian ensurepip breakage was caught by a real CI run, not by this suite, whose stub world had modelled venv creation as always succeeding. The workflow step goes with it: with the harness gone, its only remaining purpose was running a pre-existing unrelated test, which is not this PR's job. The PR is back to touching exactly one file.

🔴 Important — Enforce the uv version pin.
UV_VERSION="${UV_VERSION:-0.12.5}" allows callers to replace the installer version, despite the script stating that the toolchain is pinned. Set UV_VERSION=0.12.5, or define and validate an intentional override policy.

🟡 Nit — Distinguish a missing python3 from a failed version probe.
|| echo "none" hides every nonzero exit from the python3 -c probe. A broken interpreter then enters the uv provisioning path instead of failing the probe, which can mask the root cause and trigger an unnecessary download. Check command presence separately and fail on probe errors; use none only when python3 is absent.
As per coding guidelines: “Do not silently fall back to None or a default when configuration validation should fail loudly.”

🔴 Important — Make the apt stub require package installation.
Line 121 sets the repair marker for apt-get update. The production script calls update before install, so the test passes even if python3-pip python3-venv installation is removed or changed. Set the marker only for the required apt-get install command.

🟡 Nit: The comment's claim — "This script runs before the others that install uv and they all skip when it is present, so the pin holds for the whole job" — doesn't hold across workflow steps, because export PATH dies with this script's process.
ci_setup_python_venv.sh runs as its own step (nightly-tau2.yml:110, nightly-bfcl.yml:92, nightly-benchmark.yml:68, pr-test-rust.yml:141). Only .venv/bin is appended to $GITHUB_PATH (line 75) — $HOME/.local/bin is not. So in a later step, command -v uv in ci_install_vllm.sh:14, ci_install_sglang.sh:13, or ci_install_tokenspeed.sh:30 won't find the uv installed here unless the runner image happens to ship $HOME/.local/bin on the default PATH. When it doesn't, those scripts fall through to their unpinned installer (curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh) and overwrite the pinned binary — which is the "toolchain changes under the job between runs" that UV_VERSION exists to prevent, on the bare-metal 3.10 lane that is the only one reaching this branch.
The repo already uses the persisting form elsewhere (engine-version-watch.yml:45, nightly-triage.yml:44):
| # Version-pinned installer URL. This script runs before the others that | |
| # install uv and they all skip when it is present, so the pin holds for | |
| # the whole job. | |
| echo "Installing uv $UV_VERSION..." | |
| curl -LsSf "https://astral.sh/uv/${UV_VERSION}/install.sh" | sh | |
| export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" | |
| if ! command -v uv &> /dev/null; then | |
| # Version-pinned installer URL. Persisted to GITHUB_PATH, not just | |
| # exported, so the later steps that install uv (ci_install_vllm.sh and | |

| echo "Installing uv $UV_VERSION..." | |

🟡 Nit (on this push dropping scripts/tests/test_ci_setup_python_venv.sh): the runtime assertions at lines 61–69 don't substitute for the deleted suite on this branch specifically.
The self-assertion argument is sound where the assertions actually execute. But which branch runs is decided by the host: every green PR-CI lane ships 3.12, takes the if at line 22, and never enters this else. So after the deletion, the uv provisioning path — the new code that fixes the reported bug — is exercised by no PR-level check at all. Its first execution is the nightly bare-metal leg.
That's the same shape as the failure this PR is fixing: a configuration only the nightly tests, so a break in it surfaces there and looks like a nightly bug. A typo in --seed, a uv venv flag rename, or the PATH issue flagged above would all reach main green and fail in the nightly.
Two ways to close it without bringing the stubs back, both consistent with "the script asserts itself at runtime":
- add a PR-CI job that runs this script with
CI_PYTHON_VERSIONset to something the container doesn't ship (e.g.3.13), so theelsebranch runs against a real uv and the existing assertions verify it; or - keep it green-path-only but say so, and note that the uv branch is nightly-covered.
Not blocking — the deletion is defensible, but the coverage claim in the commit message is stronger than what the branch structure delivers.

Description
Problem
ci_setup_python_venv.shbuilt the venv with a barepython3:That resolves to whatever the host image ships — 3.12 in the containerised pools, 3.10 on the bare-metal GPU runners. Which Python a job ran on depended on which machine it landed on, and nothing declared or checked it.
This one script is the chokepoint for all of CI: every engine setup (
setup-vllm,setup-sglang,setup-tokenspeed,setup-trtllm), every nightly, andpr-test-rust. So the drift reached everything.It has already cost us a week of nightly. vLLM 0.27.1 pins
flashinfer-python==0.6.16.post3, whosefd_exchange.py:55evaluatesarray.array[int]in an annotation with nofrom __future__ import annotations.array.arrayonly gained__class_getitem__in CPython 3.12, so the import dies on 3.10. Every bare-metal leg of the tau2 nightly failed for five consecutive runs while regular CI stayed green.The control is inside a single tau2 run — same script, same pin, same package version:
Regular CI could not have caught it, because regular CI never runs 3.10. That is the real defect: the nightly was validating a configuration nothing else tested, so an upstream incompatibility surfaced there and looked like a nightly bug.
Solution
Pin the interpreter to 3.12 — what the green lanes already run, and what the repo already assumes (
ruff.tomlsetstarget-version = "py312").Two branches, chosen by what the host has:
uvrather than mutating the machine. uv fetches a standalone CPython into the user cache: no sudo, system python untouched, and no reprovisioning of hosts whose distro python is too old to upgrade in place.Then assert the result instead of trusting it — both the interpreter version and the presence of pip.
Changes
scripts/ci_setup_python_venv.sh— pin viaCI_PYTHON_VERSION(default3.12), provision with uv when the host disagrees, and assert the outcome.Two details worth calling out for review:
--seedis load-bearing. Auv venvships without pip, and downstream steps callpython3 -m pip installinside this venv (ci_install_e2e_deps.sh:13,17,39) andpip install wheel/*.whlfrom the workflows. Without it they fail with a missing-module error that looks nothing like its cause.The assertions are the point. This script existed to make the interpreter implicit; leaving the new invariant unchecked would just move the silence. A wrong-interpreter venv surfaces much later, in a different script, as an unrelated-looking import error — which is exactly how the tau2 breakage presented.
Test Plan
Exercised both branches locally against a 3.14 host, with
HOMEredirected so nothing leaked onto the machine:bash -npasses. Path 1 confirms the no-op claim: with a matching host it takes the original code path and downloads nothing.Trade-off you should weigh
The bare-metal runners are currently the only thing exercising Python 3.10, and
grpc_servicerclaims 3.10+ support (ruff.toml: "grpc_servicer supports Python 3.10+ — don't upgrade to 3.11+ syntax"). This pin removes that coverage.That coverage is accidental — a side effect of which machine a job lands on, not a deliberate lane — and accidental coverage that silently breaks the nightly is worse than none. But if 3.10 support is a real commitment, it deserves an explicit lane: this script honours
CI_PYTHON_VERSION, so a job can setCI_PYTHON_VERSION=3.10and test it on purpose. Happy to add that lane here if you want them landing together.Checklist
