Summary

boxd 0.2 reshaped its Python SDK: the Compute/Box objects with methods became a flat AsyncBoxd client with machines.<verb>(id, ...) namespaces, where Machine records are plain data. This PR migrates the runtime provider, CLI, and tests to that surface and pins boxd>=0.2.7,<0.3 (we were on 0.1.2).

API mapping

boxd 0.1.x boxd 0.2.x
Compute() / compute.box.get/create AsyncBoxd() / client.machines.get/create
box.exec(...) machines.exec(id, [...])
box.write_file(blob, dest) machines.files.upload(id, dest, blob) (returns confirmed byte count)
box.set_proxy_port(port=...) machines.proxies.set_port(id, port)
box.suspend() / box.destroy() machines.pause(id) / machines.delete(id)
hand-rolled exec-readiness poll machines.wait_until_ready(id)
box.exec(..., stream=True) machines.stream_exec(id, command=...)

Behavior changes (all found by testing against real VMs)

  • Explicit resume on warm reuse. The 0.2.x SDK never resumes a suspended/hibernated/stopped machine implicitly, and wait_until_ready raises on "stopped" — so _resolve_vm now revives saved machines before redeploying. Without this, on_exit=suspend (the default) would break every subsequent deploy.
  • Name-lookup fallback. machines.get(name) resolves names only in the account's default org context; a machine living in another org raises NotFound while list() still shows it. This made deploys die with ConflictError and — worse — made on_exit("destroy") silently skip teardown, leaving a VM running and billing. _get_machine now falls back to an exact-name scan of machines.list().
  • Sizing is optional. boxd machines now come in fixed vCPU/memory pairs (1/4G, 2/8G, 4/16G) with an org-level default, and the server refuses per-machine disk sizing (per-machine disk sizing is not supported yet: every machine gets 100 GiB; omit disk). RuntimeConfig defaults for vcpu/memory/disk are now None; only explicitly-set values reach the create call. --disk stays wired for when boxd ships disk sizing.
  • Upload verification simplified. The sha256-verify-and-retry workaround for boxd 0.1.1's silent upload truncation (azin-tech/boxd#45) is gone: 0.2.x uploads stream in chunks and return the byte count the machine confirmed, which the provider checks instead.
  • bindu shell reimplemented. The old exec(interactive=True) convenience no longer exists; the CLI now bridges the local terminal to a stream_exec(tty=True) session (raw mode, stdin pump, SIGWINCH resize).
  • stream_logs still tails the agent log filemachines.logs is the VM console, which a detached nohup'd agent never writes to.

Docs (docs/runtime/boxd.md, quickstart.md) updated where they referenced the old API, sizing defaults, and the obsolete truncation workaround.

Testing

  • 1098 unit tests pass; runtime fixtures/tests rewritten for the new client shape, with new coverage for the resume-on-reuse path and the name-lookup fallback.
  • Real-VM e2e (BOXD_E2E=1) passes: create → ship source → pip install → start → /health 200 → agent card verified → destroy (~40s).
  • Separately validated the full warm-reuse lifecycle against real VMs: deploy → pause (status suspended) → redeploy resumes and goes healthy → destroy confirmed via machine listing. No orphaned VMs left behind.
  • Pre-commit clean (ruff, ruff-format, ty, bandit, secrets baseline, pydocstyle).

boxd 0.2 reshaped the client: Compute/Box objects with methods became a
flat AsyncBoxd client with machines.<verb>(id, ...) namespaces and
plain-data Machine records. Migrate the runtime provider, CLI, and tests
to that surface (pin boxd>=0.2.7,<0.3).

Provider changes beyond the mechanical mapping:

- Explicit resume on warm reuse: the 0.2.x SDK never resumes a
  suspended/hibernated/stopped machine implicitly, and wait_until_ready
  raises on "stopped", so _resolve_vm now revives saved machines before
  redeploying.
- Name-lookup fallback: machines.get(name) resolves names only in the
  account's default org context; a machine living in another org raises
  NotFound while list() still shows it. Deploys then died with
  ConflictError and on_exit teardown silently skipped, leaving the VM
  running (and billing). _get_machine now falls back to an exact-name
  scan of machines.list().
- Sizing is optional: boxd machines come in fixed vCPU/memory pairs
  with an org-level default, and the server refuses per-machine disk
  sizing ("every machine gets 100 GiB"). RuntimeConfig defaults for
  vcpu/memory/disk are now None; only explicitly-set values reach the
  create call. --disk stays wired for when boxd ships disk sizing.
- Dropped the sha256-verify-and-retry upload workaround for boxd 0.1.1
  truncation: 0.2.x uploads stream in chunks and return a confirmed
  byte count, which the provider checks instead.
- bindu shell: the old exec(interactive=True) convenience is gone;
  bridge the local terminal to a stream_exec(tty=True) session (raw
  mode, stdin pump, SIGWINCH resize).
- wait_until_ready replaces the hand-rolled exec-readiness poll;
  stream_logs uses stream_exec (machines.logs is the VM console, which
  a detached nohup'd agent never writes to).

Verified end to end against real VMs: fresh deploy -> healthy -> A2A
card, and the full pause -> resume -> redeploy -> destroy lifecycle.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The boxd runtime now targets SDK 0.2.x. It uses machine-based execution, optional organization-default sizing, verified uploads, streaming logs, lifecycle actions, and manual TTY handling for bindu shell.

Changes

Boxd runtime migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Machine API and configuration
bindu/runtime/boxd_provider.py, bindu/runtime/config.py, pyproject.toml, tests/unit/runtime/conftest.py, tests/unit/runtime/test_boxd_provider.py, tests/unit/runtime/test_config.py, bindu/cli/__init__.py, docs/runtime/boxd.md, docs/runtime/quickstart.md
The provider now uses AsyncBoxd and machines.* operations. Machine lookup supports organization-aware fallback and explicit revival. Runtime sizing fields are optional. Fixtures, tests, dependency constraints, and lifecycle documentation use the new API.
Deployment and agent execution
bindu/runtime/boxd_provider.py, tests/unit/runtime/conftest.py, tests/unit/runtime/test_boxd_provider.py, docs/runtime/boxd.md
Deployment verifies upload byte counts, waits for readiness, configures the proxy, installs dependencies, and starts the agent through machines.exec. Tests cover incomplete uploads, command failures, cleanup, and deployment variants.
Streaming shell, logs, and cleanup
bindu/cli/__init__.py, bindu/runtime/boxd_provider.py, tests/unit/runtime/test_cli_shell_logs.py, tests/unit/runtime/test_boxd_provider.py, docs/runtime/boxd.md
Log streaming uses machines.stream_exec. Exit actions use machines.pause and machines.delete. bindu shell forwards terminal input, output, EOF, and resize events through a TTY stream and restores terminal state during cleanup.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 022b4

This migration broadens machine lookup and can perform execution, resume, pause, or deletion against the first visible machine with a matching name rather than the machine originally deployed; duplicate names or cross-organization visibility could therefore affect the wrong VM. Partial failures and concurrent same-name deployments may also leave stale or interleaved runtime state, and piped shell input can hang. These merge-readiness risks should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Move fake_health to the runtime conftest module.

These changed tests use the module-local fake_health fixture. Move that fixture to tests/unit/runtime/conftest.py and import it through pytest fixture discovery.

As per coding guidelines, “Always use fixtures from tests/conftest.py in Python tests instead of creating custom setup/teardown.”

Forward and close piped stdin.

When stdin is not a TTY, this branch never reads stdin, calls stream.write, or calls stream.write_eof. Therefore, printf 'exit\n' | bindu shell <agent> does not deliver the command or EOF to bash and can remain blocked. Pump piped input into stream, send EOF, and drain output concurrently.
