Summary

Closes #292. Consolidates the gateway's split config into a single frozen
snapshot per request (ITSRequestConfig, materialized from partial
ITSRequestConfigUpdate overlays) and drops the LM client cache, eliminating
four mid-flight races between a request and a concurrent /configure.

Changes

  • One config snapshot per request. Config is now split into two
    dataclasses in its_hub/api/types.py:
    • ITSRequestConfigUpdate — a partial overlay where every field is
      Optional; None means "not supplied, keep the tier below in the merge
      hierarchy". merge(overlay) layers a second update over self (via
      dataclasses.replace(), which re-fires __post_init__); resolve()
      materializes a complete snapshot and is the single point at which
      mandatory-field presence (api_endpoint/model) is checked.
    • ITSRequestConfig — a frozen=True, fully-resolved snapshot that drives
      one request. api_endpoint/model are mandatory; the remaining fields
      carry system defaults (budget=4, alg="self-consistency",
      api_key=None) or are genuinely optional (temperature=None means "don't
      send it upstream").
      ITSGateway stores its service default as an ITSRequestConfigUpdate;
      configure(update) does self.default_config.merge(update), and
      arun_chat_completion(config) does self.default_config.merge(config).resolve(),
      then builds a fresh algorithm + LM from the frozen snapshot. Nothing on
      self is mutated during a request, so a concurrent /configure cannot swap
      the algorithm or close this request's HTTP session mid-flight.
  • Drop the LM cache. _lm_cache, _get_or_create_lm, and _hash_api_key
    are removed. LM clients are created and closed per request (await lm.close()
    runs in a finally). This was the root cause of problem 3 (session closed
    mid-use). We should consider re-adding a cache only if LM creation becomes a
    bottleneck.
  • Wire temperature through. ITSRequestConfig/ITSRequestConfigUpdate
    gain a temperature field and ITSGateway._build_lm now passes it to
    OpenAICompatibleLanguageModel (which already knew how to forward it to the
    upstream). main's _get_or_create_lm constructed the LM without
    temperature, silently dropping the knob.
  • Tolerate a missing api_key on the LM. OpenAICompatibleLanguageModel.__init__
    now takes api_key: str | None (was required str) and emits
    Authorization: Bearer {api_key or ''}, so a request with no key (e.g. a
    local no-auth vLLM) no longer crashes at client construction.
  • Fix metadata alg race. arun_chat_completion returns the resolved
    alg (sourced from the pre-await snapshot) in its result dict; the IaaS app
    reads result["alg"] instead of mutable _state.config.alg after the await.
  • Drop provider/extra_args from ConfigRequest. Neither was read —
    the LM is always OpenAICompatibleLanguageModel, and extra_args was
    discarded.
  • Centralize algorithm/tool-vote constants. SUPPORTED_ALGORITHMS and
    VALID_TOOL_VOTE_OPTIONS now live in its_hub/api/types.py (exported from
    its_hub.api); SelfConsistency.__init__ and ConfigRequest validate
    against the shared sets instead of redefining them.
  • Consolidate validation into __post_init__. budget, alg,
    regex_patterns, threshold, confidence_threshold, and tool_vote
    validation all run through a shared _validate_optional_fields() helper
    called by both ITSRequestConfig.__post_init__ and
    ITSRequestConfigUpdate.__post_init__, so the two cannot drift. merge()
    re-fires __post_init__ (format-validation); resolve() is the single
    completeness check. configure() no longer needs to call _build_algorithm
    for its side effect.
  • Expand __repr__ via a shared _config_repr() helper that dumps all
    fields of either class (api_key masked as ***).
  • Allow ChatMessage with tool_calls and no content.
    ChatMessage.content now defaults to None (was required), so assistant
    messages carrying only tool_calls can be constructed without an empty
    string.
  • Delete no-op shutdown hooks. ashutdown, processor.shutdown(), and
    the empty _lifespan context manager were no-ops after the cache removal.
  • Docs. Fix incorrect claims about the LM cache (LRU, key hashing,
    shutdown clearing), the nonexistent /health endpoint, and the alg field
    listing best-of-n as supported. Document the config merge semantics
    (None means "trickle down the hierarchy": header > body > /configure
    default) and the tool_vote can't-clear limitation (regex_patterns and
    exclude_tool_args can be cleared with []; tool_vote cannot, pass the
    new value explicitly).

Test Plan

4 natural regression tests (real HTTP server via the new
tests/mocks/recording_llm.py::RecordingLLMHandler + llm_server fixture,
minimal mocks), one per problem (see #292):

  • Problem 1test_reconfigure_does_not_swap_in_flight_algorithm
    (gateway): reconfigure mid-request from self-consistency to
    beta-self-consistency; assert result["alg"] is still self-consistency
    while gateway.default_config.alg is beta-self-consistency.
  • Problem 2test_metadata_reports_request_time_algorithm (IaaS):
    reconfigure mid-request; assert metadata["algorithm"] reflects what
    actually ran (self-consistency), not the post-await default.
  • Problem 3test_concurrent_different_models_do_not_interfere
    (gateway): two concurrent requests with different models; assert each gets
    its own response (no session sharing/closing). Includes a no-op
    if hasattr(gw, "_max_lm_cache_size") shim so it also exercises the old
    buggy path when run on main.
  • Problem 4test_temperature_forwarded_to_lm (gateway): assert the
    upstream received temperature: 0.7 in the request body.

All existing tests updated to the new API. uv run pytest tests/ --ignore=tests/e2e
559 passed, 0 failed. (tests/e2e/ is not collected here — it imports
math_verify, an optional dependency not installed in this environment, and
needs a live upstream; unrelated to this PR.)

  • Tests pass locally (uv run pytest tests/)
  • Linting passes (uv run ruff check its_hub/)
  • Formatting passes (uv run ruff format --check its_hub/)

Checklist

  • Tests pass locally (uv run pytest)
  • Linting passes (uv run ruff check its_hub/)
  • Added/updated tests for new functionality
  • Updated documentation if needed

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added per-request configuration overrides with clear precedence over service defaults.
    • Added temperature, algorithm selection, regex patterns, tool voting, exclusions, and confidence thresholds.
    • API keys are request-scoped, isolated between requests, and never persisted.
    • Expanded supported algorithms and configuration options.
    • Results now identify the selected algorithm.
  • Documentation

    • Updated guidance on configuration precedence, supported algorithms, scaling, performance, and endpoints.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved optional-field clearing, validation, request isolation, streaming endpoint handling, and connection reliability.

Consolidate split config into a single ITSRequestConfig snapshot that
holds every knob governing a request (LM target + scaling parameters).

- Drop the LM client cache (_lm_cache, _get_or_create_lm, _hash_api_key);
  LM clients are now created and closed per request
- Wire temperature through to OpenAICompatibleLanguageModel
- Drop provider/extra_args from ConfigRequest
- Fix metadata alg being read after await: arun_chat_completion returns
  the resolved alg in its result dict, sourced from the pre-await snapshot
- Move SUPPORTED_ALGORITHMS and VALID_TOOL_VOTE_OPTIONS to api/types.py
  and validate all config fields in ITSRequestConfig.__post_init__
- Gateway.configure() merges non-None fields over the current default;
  arun_chat_completion() merges per-request fields over the default
- Expand __repr__ to dump all fields (api_key masked)
- Add 4 natural regression tests (real HTTP server, minimal mocks)
- Fix incorrect docs: LM cache claims, /health endpoint, alg values

Signed-off-by: Harrison Stropkay <hstropka@redhat.com>
- Delete ashutdown (was a no-op after LM cache removal) from
  AbstractGateway, ITSGateway, IaaS lifespan, and ext_proc processor
- Delete processor.shutdown() and its call site in server.py
- Delete the empty _lifespan context manager from IaaS app
- Simplify RecordingLLMHandler: drop ClassVar annotations, log_message,
  and return-type hints
- Drop test_ashutdown_is_noop and stray ashutdown calls in natural tests
- Document config merge semantics: None means trickle down the hierarchy

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c718e

This change isolates gateway configuration and language-model clients per request, but the current head still rejects supported API-keyless configurations, can let mutable fields change a request after validation, may retain attacker-selected connections, and can leak resources when replacing a gateway; fixed-sleep tests and teardown issues also weaken regression reliability. The PR is not merge-ready until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Close the server socket in teardown.

server.shutdown() stops the serve_forever loop. It does not close the listening socket. The fixture is function-scoped, so each test that uses llm_server leaks one file descriptor for the rest of the session. Call server.server_close() after the thread join.

Timing-based synchronization in the two llm_server concurrency tests. Both tests use a fixed asyncio.sleep to assume that an in-flight request already reached the upstream server. On a slow or loaded runner that assumption can break, so the intended interleaving is not exercised and the tests can fail intermittently. RecordingLLMHandler.received_bodies provides a deterministic signal for the same condition.

  • tests/test_gateway.py#L145-L151: replace both await asyncio.sleep(0.3) calls with a bounded poll until RecordingLLMHandler.received_bodies reaches the expected count (3, then 6, because _make_config sets budget=3).
  • tests/test_gateway.py#L268-L272: replace await asyncio.sleep(0.1) with the same bounded poll before the mid-flight gw.configure(...) call.

These tests validate the dataclass, not configure.

_make_config constructs ITSRequestConfigUpdate, and __post_init__ runs _validate_optional_fields. For alg="beam-search", regex_patterns=["[invalid("], and tool_vote="invalid", the ValueError is raised inside _make_config, before gw.configure is called. The tests pass, but they never reach ITSGateway.configure.

If the intent is to cover the gateway path, build the overlay outside pytest.raises is not possible for these values. Either rename the tests to state that they cover overlay validation, or move them to the ITSRequestConfigUpdate test module.

130-148: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial

Per-request LM clients drop HTTP connection reuse across requests.

_build_lm now creates a new OpenAICompatibleLanguageModel for each request, and arun_chat_completion closes it in the finally block. OpenAICompatibleLanguageModel._get_session creates a new aiohttp.TCPConnector and ClientSession per instance. Connections to the upstream model are therefore no longer pooled between requests. Each request pays a fresh TCP and TLS handshake per concurrent generation.

This is a correct fix for the cache-eviction bug in issue #292. Plan for the throughput cost. Two options preserve both properties:

  • Share one long-lived aiohttp.TCPConnector across LM instances and pass connector_owner=False, so pooling survives client close.
  • Key a reference-counted client pool by endpoint plus credentials, and close a client only when its in-flight count reaches zero.

Measure p99 latency under concurrent load before and after this change.

to distinguish sources: header-provided keys are request-scoped, while keys set
through /configure remain in memory as ITSGateway.default_config service
defaults until replaced or restart. Keep the separate LM-client isolation
statement, but do not describe configured credentials as request-scoped or claim
all keys are discarded after each request.

We should consider re-adding a cache only if LM creation becomes a bottleneck.

The reason we added an LM cache was to avoid the overhead from creating new http(s) connections on every request. Can you try running the performance tests introduced in #291 to see how removing the cache impacts performance?

Can you share what the error is that you encounter with the eviction? If an LM is evicted mid request, it should still be loaded in memory for the lifetime of the request. Is this not true? Maybe we need to fix this instead of removing the caching mechanism.

Can you try running the performance tests introduced in #291 to see how removing the cache impacts performance?

Running now, I'll lyk re: results

Can you share what the error is that you encounter with the eviction?

Yes, running my branch's test_concurrent_different_models_do_not_interfere on main right now yields a ServerDisconnectedError. Request B's _get_or_create_lm evicts A's cached LM and await evicted_lm.close() tears down A's aiohttp session while A's ainfer is still awaiting it

Maybe we need to fix this instead of removing the caching mechanism.

Definitely worth discussion. I think the perf test will be informative

I've put the results of the perf tests at bottom (thank you for implementing that!). For context:

Removing the cache added some time, so I dug into perf. I made 2 adjustments:

  • I added a connector pool (a dict of aiohttp.TCPConnector, keyed by endpoint). Note that this pool is not LRU, but that shouldn't be a problem unless the gateway is hitting >>1M endpoints.
  • I noticed that we were reading the CA bundle once per LM init, so I moved that read to gateway init. I added fallback (e.g., if someone is using the LM without the gateway, the LM will read the CA bundle).

The key thing here is that the connector pool handles our caching per-endpoint. The LM cache's value-add was connection re-use (since establishing the connection is the most expensive part), so the connection pool is capturing the same gains. Adding additional caching per API key and model (as the LM cache had it) would only bloat the cache.

Below, the perf is roughly similar between the old LM cache and the new connection pool, and the eviction error is gone.

Thanks for flagging this--it was a really good call to dig deeper here.

The c=10 throughput has high variance because at low budget the wall time is sub-second (≈0.1s), so small absolute jitter swings req/s widely. This explains the surprising large numbers.

Make the mock gateway closeable asynchronously.

When FastAPI lifespan shutdown runs after this helper installs the mock, _lifespan awaits _state.gateway.aclose(). MagicMock.aclose is not awaitable, so shutdown raises TypeError. Set mock_gw.aclose = AsyncMock() to match the gateway lifecycle contract.

Resolve the default algorithm before building mock metadata.

default.alg can be None because _configure_and_mock() supplies an ITSRequestConfigUpdate without alg at Lines 544-548. ITSRequestConfigUpdate.resolve() supplies self-consistency in that case. The assignment at Line 59 therefore reports alg: None instead of the algorithm used by the real gateway. Resolve the update before populating the response metadata.

Close the old gateway before replacing it.

When _state.reset() runs after requests have created pooled connectors, this assignment discards the old gateway without calling aclose(). The application lifespan closes only the current gateway, so the discarded connector pool can remain open. Make reset await the old gateway’s aclose() before replacement, and update its callers to await reset.

Use a supported gateway configuration interface.

These integration-layer reads depend on ITSGateway._default_config, a private field in its_hub/core/gateway.py. A later change to the gateway’s storage or snapshot representation can break configuration logging, model listing, and streaming validation. Expose the required read-only configuration through a supported public interface, then use that interface here.

As per coding guidelines, stable public interfaces must remain under its_hub/api/ and internal implementations under its_hub/core/.

regex_patterns and exclude_tool_args are now stored as immutable

list (or the snapshot itself) after validation and affect an in-flight
request. Also make the test mock gateway's aclose awaitable (lifespan
shutdown awaits it) and report the resolved alg fallback.

Following up on the latest CodeRabbit review (commit c718e07).

Addressed in 424b783:

  • 15 — Preserve immutable request snapshots (its_hub/api/types.py): ITSRequestConfig now stores regex_patterns/exclude_tool_args as immutable tuples, frozen in __post_init__ via object.__setattr__. Neither the source list nor the snapshot can be mutated after validation, so an in-flight request cannot observe changed settings or bypass _validate_optional_fields.
  • 16 — Make the mock gateway closeable asynchronously (tests/test_iaas.py): _install_mock_gateway now sets mock_gw.aclose = AsyncMock() so _lifespan shutdown does not TypeError on the mock.
  • 17 — Resolve the default algorithm (tests/test_iaas.py): mock metadata now uses default.alg or "self-consistency" to mirror resolve()'s alg fallback. I did not call resolve() directly because the header-only path (test_headers_without_service_config) has no endpoint/model configured yet, so resolve() would raise; the or fallback matches exactly what resolve() produces for alg without that requirement.

Declining as out of scope for this PR:

  • 18 — Close the old gateway before replacing it (_ServiceState.reset): reset() is test-only — it is called exclusively from the iaas_client/async_iaas_client fixtures, never from a production path. The gateway it discards has either never been configured or is itself a mock with no open connectors, so there is no real leak. Making reset() async would also force both fixtures (and their callers) async for no runtime benefit. The production shutdown path (_lifespangateway.aclose()) already closes pooled connectors.

  • 19 — Use a supported gateway configuration interface (reading ITSGateway._default_config from the IaaS integration): this is a broader API-surface refactor (expose a public read-only accessor under its_hub/api/) outside the scope of this bugfix PR. The _default_config underscore was itself added in response to review feedback on this PR. Happy to track it as a follow-up issue if useful.

Looks good to me, thanks!

Resolve conflict in ITSGateway.aclose(): keep connector-pool cleanup
from this PR (drop obsolete _lm_cache lines), preserve PR #291's
orchestrator.shutdown() hook for its new ThreadPoolExecutor, and
adapt the shutdown log line to reflect pooled connectors.
