From 4b41a51f75247d142a3b3c64df6e5353975c4ddf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rohit Ghumare Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 11:56:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] feat(sandbox-modal): scaffold Modal sandbox provider worker MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Modal is gRPC-only — no public REST surface — so this Python worker imports the official 'modal' SDK as transport. The SDK is an implementation detail; callers see only sandbox::modal::* trigger ids matching the canonical sandbox ABI. Six functions registered (create, exec, stop, list, snapshot, expose_port). fs::read/write deferred for v0 (Modal's open() handle API doesn't map cleanly to channel-shaped FS ops). Async concurrency tracking via asyncio.Lock. S-code error mapping via map_modal_error which resolves Modal exception class names without forcing the modal package import path during tests. 6/6 pytest cases pass; ruff check + format clean.

Implementation notes: - Lazy import: `modal` loads inside each method (asyncio.to_thread) so the worker module imports cleanly without Modal credentials. Tests mock ModalClient and never trigger the import. - Handle registry: a sandbox_id (= modal.Sandbox.object_id) maps to the live Sandbox handle in an asyncio.Lock-guarded dict. Modal's SDK doesn't ship a server-side list-all primitive, so we list what the worker has tracked locally; do_list reconciles to that length. - Idempotent stop: an unknown sandbox_id, or a Modal NotFoundError, is treated as already-gone. Matches the family-wide stop contract. - exec returns {stdout, stderr, exit_code} pulled from the modal Process object (`proc.stdout.read()`, `proc.wait()`). - expose_port surfaces a clear S502 if the port wasn't declared via `encrypted_ports=[port]` at create time — Modal requires up-front declaration and there's no per-port reconfigure. - snapshot returns the Modal Image object_id from `sb.snapshot_filesystem()`. Test `test_stop_rolls_through_stub_client` retired in favour of `test_stop_is_idempotent_when_sandbox_unknown` which pins the new semantics. 6/6 tests pass; ruff check + format clean.
