From ef6311d97882bd0981bccdee935bbbbe9961483a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ruvnet Date: Sat, 2 May 2026 15:28:00 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix: remove FNV-1a placeholder + tokenizer max_seq=1 edge case (iter 130) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit User: "no placeholders" + "fix any issues". Two changes, both honest-failure: 1. HailoEmbedder::embed — placeholder removed. Iters 87/88's "no-stubs" pass replaced earlier `NotYetImplemented` stubs with a content-derived FNV-1a 384-d vector. The intent was to make the dispatch chain fully exercisable end-to-end before the HEF compile pipeline lands; the consequence was that operators running ruvector-hailo-stats / ruvector-hailo-embed against a real Pi 5 worker saw vectors come back and reasonably assumed they were real semantic embeddings. Now `embed()` returns a new `HailoError::NoModelLoaded` variant. The error message names the resolution path: "no Hailo model graph loaded — drop a compiled `model.hef` into the worker's model dir and restart" Open / dimensions / device_id / chip_temperature continue to work so the gRPC stack still listens, health probes still respond, NPU thermal telemetry still streams. But every embed dispatch now surfaces honest "no model" instead of pretending to work. Companion change: new `HailoEmbedder::has_model() -> bool` (always false until HEF support lands). Worker.rs's health() RPC now sets `ready = dimensions > 0 && has_model()`, so the cluster's validate_fleet correctly identifies model-less workers as not-ready and skips them in P2C dispatch. 2. WordPieceTokenizer::encode — max_seq=1 edge case fixed. The `output_length_respects_max_seq` proptest had been failing on the minimal input `text="", max_seq=1, pad=false`: code produced [CLS][SEP] (length 2) violating the contract len <= max_seq. Caused by the encode loop unconditionally pushing CLS at start + SEP at end without checking max_seq. Now: max_seq == 0 → empty (no room for anything) max_seq == 1 → just [CLS] (no room for [SEP]) max_seq >= 2 → [CLS] … [SEP] (the normal path) pad_to_max_seq honoured at any size. 7 proptests all pass; 14 unit tests still pass; 22 cluster test groups still pass; clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean for both default and tls feature configs in the cluster crate. ADR-167 updated to reflect the placeholder removal as a positive production-readiness milestone — operators no longer need to know which iter is current to interpret the embed RPC's output.
