Summary

  • Add a primary Build seed action in Templates → System templates, following the layout introduced by ui: split the Templates page into a searchable list and a page per template #1525.
  • Open a confirmation modal with catalog-driven, readable runtime/kernel pairs instead of independent, potentially incompatible version dropdowns.
  • Keep the selected reference and idempotency key for request retries, without adding local-storage state or hand-written digest parsing. Display names come from the server catalog; the API validates references.
  • Build, test, and promote seed independently. Promote seed opens the existing tag-assignment dialog for that exact seed release. No other template is built or promoted.
  • Do not show code-runtime as an expected template on clusters where it does not exist. Preserve the existing full rebuild UI only for clusters that already have code-runtime.
  • Building does not move seed:latest. A reload leaves the job running and links operators to seed build history.
  • Guard loading, errors, and stale cluster/user responses.

Depends on the qualified-pair build API, #1579. The base is main; Abhinav's Templates redesign has merged.

Runtime proof

The opt-in typed Python scenario local.console_seed_runtime_pair uses Chromium against the real admin UI and an isolated KIND test cluster, where only seed is registered. It submits the actual build request, waits for completion, creates a sandbox pinned to the newly built seed, inspects the running process's executable version, executes guest commands, writes a file, suspends/restores the VM, and verifies the kernel, runtime version, and file again. It also opens and cancels the independent seed promotion dialog, verifying that code-runtime is not part of that promotion.

The fixture deletes its owned sandbox and newly registered unpromoted release. It also asserts that all existing latest tags are unchanged.

Final run: verdict: pass, no unexpected browser errors, and no cleanup failures. The build/boot/guest/lifecycle phase took 49.7 seconds on the warm bench.

Job: 01a1adf2-e2e4-713e-9ab9-829e769498a1
Seed: blake3:01f3095c15629ab617d44db0f2db94f58f79c98dc73593c1dc8782773e25b909
Actual runtime executable: Firecracker v1.17.0
Guest kernel before suspend: 6.1.155+
Guest kernel after restore: 6.1.155+
Guest command exit codes: 0 / 0
Filesystem marker before/after: seed-runtime-4b383a256ea0

A post-run catalog read confirmed only the original seed:latest remained. The KIND cluster and production UI server are left running for further review; no production cluster was changed.

Validation

  • TypeScript: npx tsc --noEmit passed.
  • Production Next.js build passed.
  • Python syntax and new scenario Ruff checks passed. Touched framework modules retain pre-existing Ruff findings; no broad unrelated cleanup is included.
  • No added UI unit tests or checked-in screenshot files. The typed real-UI smoke remains.
  • Review follow-up: all 697 framework smoke tests pass after excluding the opt-in scenario from default browser selection expectations and updating the console scenario inventory. Runtime inspection now rejects ambiguous or non-running pod placement, and guest execution uses the configured data-plane URL by default. The real KIND/browser proof above was from the original implementation; it was not rerun for these follow-up changes.
  • The full Python CI entrypoint could not pass in the follow-up sandbox: Docker is unavailable, and the optional-dependency run encountered missing Helm tooling. Full-suite CI on the new head remains the validation gate.
  • After rebasing onto the merged API: TypeScript checking passed, all 339 UI library tests passed under Node 22, and all 697 smoke-framework tests passed. One process-cleanup test raced on the first run; its isolated rerun and the repeated complete smoke-framework run passed.

Severity and risk

Severity: operational feature, not an incident fix. Risk: the new seed-only admin workflow and its opt-in smoke may fail if the companion API or qualified artifacts are unavailable. Deploy the companion API first; builds do not promote latest. Roll back the UI change to remove the new action.

AI assistance: Computer (GPT) updated smoke expectations, adapter guards, and this description during review follow-up.

Screenshots

Screenshots were captured during the isolated KIND proof but are not publicly accessible. Private task links have been omitted from this public description; no screenshot binaries are committed.

Walkthrough

The dashboard adds a seed builder that loads qualified runtime/kernel pairs, submits and tracks builds, and supports testing and promoting releases. The smoke-test harness adds sandbox attachment and runtime-version inspection. A new opt-in console scenario builds a seed with a qualified pair and checks its runtime, kernel, and persistence across suspend and wake.

Check name Status Explanation
Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test Passed This PR adds a seed-build feature. The UI changes do not fix a stated application defect. The fix commit addresses smoke-test coverage and runtime lookup outside the application paths.
Weakened Safeguards Are Justified Passed The browser test inventory now excludes opt-in scenarios from default-selection expectations. The description explains this change, and the new scenario states its required runtime and kernel pair.
Title check Passed The title describes the main UI change and meets the required format.

Matching overrides (numbered as in the resolved configuration):

Any matching disabled override withholds approval, regardless of risk. Otherwise, the strictest explicitly set limit wins for each score. Limits omitted by all matching overrides inherit the global configuration.

Not set means no limit was configured after inheritance. Use @coderabbitai configuration to inspect the resolved settings and their sources.

console_runtime_version to select from sandbox_pods(sandbox_id), keeping only
non-deleting pods in phase Running with a node name, and use the node only when
exactly one matches. Preserve the existing runtime identity error when there is
not exactly one match or the PID is invalid, and use the selected node for the
command.
- Line 4971: Update the data_plane_url argument in console_sandbox to fall back
to the KindHarness configuration’s data_plane_url when ECW_DATA_PLANE_BASE_URL
is unset, while preserving the environment override. Keep this change scoped to
command streaming; leave suspend and wake control requests unchanged.
