Summary

Preloads every declared Rails configuration before application readiness, then
lets each buffered or streaming request select an already-initialized checker.

Why

Provider composition and transport routing do not determine which Rails should
inspect a request. Applications need a separate configuration decision based on
trusted request context, provider instance, and operation.

How it works

The application declares a fixed catalog of ConfigEntry IDs and validated
configuration directories. A sync or async resolver receives request context
and server-supplied provider and operation identity, then returns a declared ID.
An application with one configuration can use the automatic static resolver.

GuardrailsRepository initializes the entire fixed catalog before serving,
including configurations the resolver never selects. Requests perform a lookup
of ready checkers; they do not parse configuration files or initialize engines.
Each request uses the selected policy for input inspection, output inspection,
and response representation in either response mode.

Configuration parsing runs in a worker thread. Engine construction and startup
run on the application loop. An initialization failure prevents readiness and
triggers cleanup attempts for completed checkers and the shared HTTP client.

Unknown IDs, resolver failures, invalid results, and unsupported rail types fail
before upstream dispatch through the provider's native error mapping. Checker
and HTTP cleanup are attempted independently with cooperative budgets.

What Changed

  • Adds configuration catalog entries and trusted resolver context.
  • Initializes every declared configuration before readiness; request lookup performs no lazy loading.
  • Keeps configuration parsing off the application loop and engine startup on it.
  • Prevents readiness on initialization failure and attempts cleanup of completed resources.
  • Bounds checker and HTTP cleanup independently without claiming guaranteed release.
  • Connects request-scoped checker resolution to buffered and streaming execution.
  • Preserves original request bytes and reviewed stream bindings; selected Rails do not widen the accepted content profile.
  • Maps configuration failures to stable provider-native errors.
  • Documents and tests selection, isolation, failure ordering, and lifecycle behavior.

Review Notes

Review that resolver results are validated against the application catalog and
that callers cannot select arbitrary paths. Request headers and payload fields
remain untrusted unless the application authenticates and normalizes them.
Destination routing and Rails selection remain independent mechanisms.

Preloading increases startup time and consumes resources for every declared
configuration, including unused ones. One initialization failure prevents the
whole application becoming ready. Loading a configuration does not establish
support for every endpoint or streaming mode; those capability checks remain
part of request resolution.

Review cancellation during startup and recovery after interrupted shutdown
through the real core lifecycle. Cleanup budgets cannot forcibly stop blocking
or cancellation-suppressing code.

The catalog is fixed at assembly time. Native server configuration discovery,
hot reload, configuration CRUD, and a public application API are separate work.

Local stack validation: 1,773 server tests passed, 10 skipped; 10 replay-only
recorded/inventory checks passed; pre-commit passed.

AI tools assisted with implementation and review.

RetriggerView in GreptileConfidence Score: 5/5

[Medium impact] The PR appears safe to merge; the previous cleanup finding is fixed and no new actionable issues remain.

Summary

Preloads the declared Rails catalog before readiness and selects an initialized checker for each guarded request.

  • The proxy starts every declared Rails checker before it serves requests.
  • Each guarded request uses the Rails checker chosen for its context.

No new actionable issues were found. This assessment does not rely on a fix in a higher dependent PR.

📝 Walkthrough

The proxy application now loads declared Rails configurations at startup and resolves a content checker for each request. The resolved checker’s inspection policy controls provider dispatch, including streaming requests. The change also adds configuration validation, lifecycle cleanup, error mappings, and tests.

Reject configured tool rails before provider dispatch so requests cannot bypass the declared policy. Add a safe diagnostic for resolver failures. These issues should be addressed before merging.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 20.49% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 122 functions across 17 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Full details: Test Results For Major Changes

Explanation

The PR is a major change: the diff adds 19 files and 1,621 lines, including full Rails configuration preloading. The description documents test results (1,773 server tests passed, 10 skipped, and 10 replay-only checks passed). However, it also states that preloading increases startup time and resource use, so the performance clause applies. The description provides no before-and-after performance numbers or measurement configuration/context.

Resolution

Add before-and-after measurements for the affected startup and resource behavior, including the number of declared configurations, configuration sizes, hardware/runtime context, and measurement method. Report comparable startup latency and resource-use results, or document why no measurable performance impact exists.

Log resolver failures before rendering config_resolution_failed.

The broad except Exception turns every resolver failure into a 502 config_resolution_failed response. Unknown IDs, resolver bugs, and authorization-service errors all take this path. The handler does not log the failure. Operators then cannot tell a misconfigured catalog from a crashing resolver.

Log the exception type and the provider and operation identity at warning level. Do not log the exception message, because a resolver can put request data or credentials into it. nemoguardrails/AGENTS.md requires a module-level log = logging.getLogger(__name__).

Reject canonical tool rails before dispatch.

Guardrails accepts valid canonical tool_call and tool_result rails through IORails. The adapter does not reject them, and its checks request only RailType.INPUT or RailType.OUTPUT. The buffered path can therefore dispatch a provider request without running the configured tool rails.

P1 Failed engines lose cleanup

GuardrailsRepository.startup() saves the engine only after rails.startup() succeeds. If startup fails or is cancelled and the core's cleanup times out or raises, the core retains unfinished resources for another shutdown() call. The repository drops that engine, so neither rollback nor later close() calls can retry its cleanup.

Save the checker before awaiting startup, while keeping lookups disabled until the whole catalog is ready.

Resolve configuration after projection validation and before checking or dispatch. Preserve original request bytes, select response encoding from the resolved inspection policy, and compose fresh streaming adapters through the reviewed bindings.

Parse configuration files off the event loop while keeping engine construction and startup on their application loop. Preserve lazy selection and shared startup ownership when an individual caller is cancelled.

Reject new work during shutdown, cancel unfinished startup, and independently bound and shield each checker cleanup. Retain incomplete checker cleanup for retry and always attempt separately bounded HTTP cleanup without masking primary failures. Cover stalled startup, close failures, cancellation, concurrent close, and event-loop responsiveness.

Signed-off-by: Pouyanpi <13303554+Pouyanpi@users.noreply.github.com>
Initialize every entry in the fixed trusted catalog during lifespan startup. Requests now perform synchronous lookup of already-started checkers, removing request-owned startup tasks and cached lazy failures.

Fail readiness if any configuration cannot initialize, roll back previously started checkers, and close the shared HTTP client. Retain off-loop file parsing and bounded cleanup, and clear runtime state on shutdown. Document the startup/resource tradeoff and test full-catalog readiness, partial failure, cancellation, and repeated lookup.

Validation: 1,773 server tests passed with 10 skipped; 10 replay-only recorded/inventory tests passed; pre-commit passed.
