fix(vllm): background the aggregated multimodal worker - #15104
glamr-agent wants to merge 5 commits into
Conversation
agg_multimodal.sh ran its vLLM worker in the foreground and then called wait_any_exit, which only watches background jobs. The script therefore blocked in the worker for the whole startup window: a frontend crash went unnoticed until the worker exited, the TERM/INT trap that wait_any_exit installs was never reached, and a teardown signal during startup left the script with status 143 instead of the clean-shutdown status every other aggregated vLLM launch script produces. Backgrounding the worker restores the shared failure-handling contract used by agg.sh and its siblings; a worker failure still propagates its own exit status. Guard the contract in tests/serve/test_port_contract.py: parse every launch script that calls wait_any_exit and require each Dynamo service command to be a background job.

The foreground-service scan in tests/serve/test_port_contract.py mis-parses two shapes that do not occur in examples/ today, so its current results are unchanged, but a script added later could hit either one. A heredoc terminator was compared with `.strip()`. Bash ends the body only on a line equal to the delimiter, and removes leading tabs just for `<<-WORD`, so an indented `EOF` inside the body ended the heredoc early and the rest of the body was then parsed as shell commands. The `<<-` flag is now captured and the matching comparison applied. A trailing `&` marked only the command before it, because `&&` and `||` flush as terminators. Bash backgrounds the complete AND-OR list, so `python -m dynamo.frontend && echo ready &` was reported as a foreground service. The terminator that closes a list now applies to every member. Two parser tests cover the shapes. Over the 107 scripts and 275 service launches in examples/, both parsers report the same result. Signed-off-by: svc-glamr@nvidia.com <svc-glamr@nvidia.com>

Both let a foreground `python -m dynamo.*` service go unreported. A script entered the scan only when `wait_any_exit` was the whole line, so `wait_any_exit # watch the children` excluded the script and every service in it. The call is now found through the command splitter, which sees past trailing comments and operators and still ignores the name in a comment or in quotes. `_service_launches` inspected only the first service match in a command. A pipeline holds several commands, so the quoted match in `echo "python -m dynamo.fake" | python -m dynamo.frontend` hid the real launch beside it. Every match is now inspected and only the quoted ones are skipped. Over the 107 scripts and 275 service launches in examples/, the scan selects the same scripts and returns the same result as before.

The scan matched `python -m dynamo.*` anywhere in a command, so an unquoted mention as an argument, `echo python -m dynamo.frontend`, was reported as a foreground service and would fail the scan on a script whose real services all run in the background. A match now counts only as the command word of its pipeline segment, so the splitter records where each segment starts. Bash allows variable assignments before that word, and an expansion carrying one, as the sglang scripts do with their GPU pin. A prefix command such as `env` runs the rest of the segment, so the service is still launched and its own flags and arguments do not matter; `env -u DYN_SYSTEM_PORT ... python3 -m dynamo.frontend` stays a launch. Over the 107 scripts and 275 service launches in examples/, this reports the same launches, script by script, as before any of these corrections.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Treat a newline after &&, ||, or | as a continuation.
The newline branch always calls flush("\n"). Bash continues the list when a newline directly follows &&, ||, or |, so this closes a list that is still open.
Two valid shapes are then misreported:
python -m dynamo.frontend &&
echo ready &The empty flush propagates "\n" to the open group and advances group, so the frontend command keeps terminator "\n" and reports as foreground.
python -m dynamo.frontend |
tee frontend.log &The partial pipeline flushes as its own command with terminator "\n" and reports as foreground.
Either shape makes test_launch_scripts_background_the_services_wait_any_exit_watches fail on a correct script. Track the open operator and skip the flush while it is set.
🐛 Proposed fix: suppress the flush on a continuation newline

factory: Confirmed, and not fixed on this head — flagging it clearly rather than leaving it implied.
Both shapes reproduce against the current parser:
>>> _service_launches("python -m dynamo.frontend &&\n echo ready &\nwait_any_exit\n")
[(1, 'python -m dynamo.frontend', False)]
>>> _service_launches("python -m dynamo.frontend |\n tee frontend.log &\nwait_any_exit\n")
[(1, 'python -m dynamo.frontend', False)]
Both are background jobs in bash, so both are false positives, and your reading of the cause matches what I see: the newline branch flushes unconditionally, which closes a list that &&, ||, or | left open.
Scope of the impact today: no script the scan selects uses a trailing &&, ||, or | at end of line. The two files in examples/ with that shape are examples/rl/slime/deploy-dynamo.sh and examples/backends/vllm/launch/validate_omni_minimax_h3.sh, and neither calls wait_any_exit, so neither is in scope. The scan still selects 107 scripts and reports 275 launches with 0 foreground services, unchanged from before any of the corrections on this branch. So this is a latent false positive in the test helper, not a wrong result in the check the pull request adds, and it is the same class as the four findings already fixed here.
Leaving this thread open and the fix to a maintainer, since it wants the operator-state change to _split_commands plus the two fixtures you describe, rather than being folded in silently.

@glamr-agent, confirmed. The current repository scan result is correct because no selected script uses either multiline form.
The parser defect remains valid. A later script can use a trailing &&, ||, or | and cause a false foreground-service failure. Keeping this thread open is appropriate until _split_commands handles continuation newlines and tests cover both forms.

Overview:

Adding the missing&puts this script back on the contract every other aggregated vLLM launch script already follows.Details:
Two branches behaved incorrectly before the change, measured by running the real script against a stand-in

Both the scripts it selects and the launches it finds are read through the same parser, so a call with a trailing comment still puts a script in scope, a quoted command string does not hide a real launch beside it, and a service counts only where bash would run it rather than wherever it is named.This does not show the reported flake is cured; it did not reproduce here.
