Depends-On: genlayerlabs/genlayer-e2e#793

Summary

  1. Every Rust log record carries an audience tag: user (contract developer or caller), operator (node runner), introspector (GenVM debugging, the default). Emitted as the second JSON key, right after level
  2. Macro grammar: log_warn!(@user, kv...; "msg"), log_X_into!(@operator, &logger, ...), log_with_level!(level, @(expr), ...). @user sites compile only with scalar captures and clamp long values to 128 bytes; audience is a reserved kv key
  3. Manager sink evicts by audience under bounded capture: first overflow drops every introspector record and appends a marker, then keeps discarding introspector on arrival; the next overflow degrades to a plain queue. Records from v0.2.x executors and unparseable lines get an audience assigned by the manager
  4. Lua lib.log { audience = ... } is threaded through the default LLM script
  5. Call sites swept: 37 @user, 79 @operator, the rest default. Classification table with reasons is in the sweep notes of the PR author
  6. New impl-spec appendix page log-record describes the JSON shape, the audiences and the sink
  7. Also carries the clippy CI cell this branch was started for

Notes

  • Sites left introspector only because of the capture constraint: message.rs:93,112 (node:cd), 7 provider "ignores extra body fields" lines (extra:serde), llm/ctx.rs:72
  • Pre-existing: the log reader may push into the sink after drain() in finish_execution
  • needs-llm and fuzz cases were not run locally (no provider key); CI covers them

Tests

  • Rust: 107/107, logger 7 new, sink 9 new
  • Integration stable: 1648/1648, no golden changed

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Structured executor logs now identify their intended audience, including user, operator, and introspector messages.
    • Bounded log capture prioritizes user and operator records while limiting introspector output to preserve relevant diagnostics.
  • Developer Experience

    • Added documented formatting and Clippy checks, including automatic fix support.
    • CI now runs Clippy and reports applicable fixes directly in job results.
  • Documentation

    • Added documentation describing the JSON log format, audience handling, and retention behavior.
    • Documented path validation, runner limits, memory charges, and updated execution error conditions.

Review Change StackReview Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds audience-aware JSON logging with bounded eviction, updates manager log propagation, documents execution limits and runner accounting, and adds a Clippy CI cell that applies and reports machine-applicable fixes.

Changes

Audience-aware logging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Log record contract and specification
docs/website/src/impl-spec/..., executors/v0.2.x, executors/v0.3.x, install/lib/genvm-lua/lib-genvm.lua
The specification defines log fields, audience values, truncation, and audience-based eviction. Executor references and Lua API documentation were updated.
Log sink and manager propagation
implementation/src/common/mod.rs, implementation/src/manager/run.rs
Log records now preserve normalized audience metadata. The bounded sink removes introspector records first, then evicts older entries. Manager appenders and execution completion use the new drain path. The request bucket totals use a keyed map.
Audience classification at call sites
implementation/src/{main.rs,llm,manager,scripting,web}/..., install/config/genvm-llm-default.lua
Runtime, manager, LLM, web, and Lua log calls now assign operator or user audiences where specified.

Execution specification updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Execution limits and runner accounting
docs/website/src/spec/02-execution-environment/..., docs/website/src/spec/03-vm/03-ram-limiting.rst, docs/website/src/spec/appendix/internal-constants.rst
The specifications add path and runner-count limits, ZIP metadata load charges, revised emissions accounting, and updated constants.
VM and fee contract references
docs/website/src/spec/02-execution-environment/03-wasi_genlayer_sdk/02-gl_call.rst, docs/website/src/spec/03-vm/01-startup.rst, docs/website/src/spec/changelog.rst
Fee-metering outcomes, runner registration failures, VM references, and changelog entries are updated.
Specification documentation cleanup
docs/website/src/impl-spec/03-greyboxing/index.rst
The generated-reference section is removed.

Clippy CI pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Clippy targets and CI configuration
docs/contributing/howto/building/build.md, support/ci/pipelines/tests.py
The build documentation lists Clippy and formatting targets. The CI queue includes a Clippy cell.
Clippy execution and patch reporting
support/ci/ci_lib.py, support/ci/pipelines/checks.py
The handler runs Clippy through Ninja, applies fixes after failure, and reports the resulting patch in logs and the GitHub step summary.
Clippy handler validation
support/ci/unit_tests/test_cargo_clippy.py
Tests cover clean and failing runs, rewritten files, dirty worktrees, truncation, and summary-file behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 594f5

This change adds audience-tagged logging and a Clippy CI stage. A confirmed race condition can drop the final lines of an execution's log output before it is stored, which mainly affects debugging and introspection completeness rather than execution correctness. A separate, lower-impact issue can cause the new Clippy CI step to publish unrelated pre-existing changes as if they were machine-generated fixes. Neither issue blocks core execution behavior, but the log-completeness gap should be fixed before merge, and the CI patch-scoping issue is worth a quick follow-up.

E2E status was updated. Follow the current E2E and merge checks on this PR. Detailed diagnostics are available internally.

Every one of these pointed at a label the build never generates, so the page
either dropped the link or the term was simply wrong: two emission constants
that do not exist, a fee error spelled after a code that is not in the ABI,
two mistyped enum and error labels, an under-long heading underline, and a
generated Lua reference that is not part of the site.
Documents what the v0.3 executor now enforces: a per-sub-VM runner count cap
refused as an out-of-memory error, a length and separator bound on the path
argument of path_open and path_filestat_get, and the raised retained-data
charges. Bumps the executor gitlink to the commits that implement them.

Wait for the log reader before draining the sink.

read_log_pipe runs in a detached Tokio task. The stdout and stderr readers release their semaphore permits only after they reach EOF, but the log reader uses a separate pipe and has no corresponding permit. finish_execution can therefore drain exec.log_sink while read_log_pipe is still processing final records.

Retain the log-reader JoinHandle and await it after process exit and before this drain. Handle all early-return paths so the task cannot outlive result collection.

Do not publish pre-existing changes as a Clippy patch.

When pre_existing is non-empty, _worktree_diff() includes those edits. The summary still identifies the complete diff as machine-applicable. A user can copy unrelated changes from the summary.

Publish the patch only for a clean baseline. Otherwise, omit the summary patch or isolate the changes made by cargo/clippy/fix.
