Previous run took ~10+ minutes because each requirements file ran
its own --with-deps resolve serially, and the six files all share
~70% of their transitive set (transformers, peft, accelerate land
in three of them). Net effect: the same 200+ archives downloaded and
pattern-scanned three times in series.
Two changes:
1. Within a shard, feed every -r file to ONE scan_packages call so
pip's resolver intersects version constraints once and yields
a single deduped transitive set.
2. Across shards, run three matrix jobs in parallel:
- hf-stack: unsloth-deps + no-torch-runtime (pyproject extras)
- studio: studio + overrides + extras-no-deps
- extras: extras (heavy openai-whisper / scikit-learn stack)
Wall clock now bounded by the slowest shard rather than the
sum, dropping ~10 min to ~3-5 min.
Each shard uploads its own artifact (scan-packages-log-<id>) so log
correlation stays clean. fail-fast: false so one shard's findings
don't suppress the others.
Last push surfaced two silent failures:
1. pip-audit aborted on openai-whisper. The package's setup.py
imports pkg_resources, which the isolated build env's modern
setuptools no longer ships by default. Because we passed every
-r file in one invocation, that single build failure killed the
audit for ALL files (the run reported success only because
continue-on-error swallowed exit 1).
2. scan_packages --with-deps aborted on the first git+ spec it
hit (triton-kernels.txt's git+https://github.com/triton-lang
/triton.git, plus OpenEnv in extras-no-deps.txt). Same
all-or-nothing behaviour: the entire transitive scan reported
"0 archives downloaded" and "all clean" -- meaning we silently
scanned nothing.
Fixes:
- Build a filtered audit-reqs/ tree first. Each Studio requirements
file is copied with `git+` lines stripped (replaced with a
`# [security-audit] skipped` marker so the exclusion is auditable
in the artifact). Pure git refs are out of scope for both pip-
audit (CVE DB only knows PyPI versions) and scan_packages (it
inspects PyPI archives, not git HEADs).
- Run pip-audit per-file in a loop. One bad file no longer takes
out the whole audit.
- Pin setuptools<78 + wheel into pip's isolated build env via
PIP_CONSTRAINT, so legacy setup.py packages (openai-whisper) can
still emit metadata for the resolver.
- Run scan_packages per-file too, with the same git+ filter and a
skip for files that are empty after filtering (triton-kernels.txt
becomes a comments-only file and would otherwise spam the log
with `--help`).
Net effect: pip-audit now actually emits CVE findings (we know the
default branch carries 17), and scan_packages downloads + pattern-
scans the full transitive closure of every PyPI-only requirements
file plus unsloth's pyproject deps.
The previous Security audit only covered Studio's backend requirements.
The unsloth pip package itself ships its own dep set via pyproject.toml
(typer/pydantic/pyyaml/nest-asyncio core, plus the huggingfacenotorch
extras: transformers/peft/accelerate/trl/datasets/diffusers/etc.) -- a
malicious upload to any of those would slip past us today. Build a
combined dep list from pyproject.toml + the six Studio requirements
files and feed it to both pip-audit and scan_packages.
Add scan_packages.py at scripts/scan_packages.py so the scanner ships
with the repo and CI does not depend on a network fetch at job time.
Pass --with-deps to scan_packages so the pre-install pattern scan
walks the full transitive closure -- supply-chain attacks usually land
several hops down (litellm 1.82.7 was a dep of a dep for most users;
top-level-only scanning would have missed it).
No installation in either job. pip-audit's -r mode resolves through
PyPI metadata, scan_packages downloads sdist/wheel archives raw and
inspects them without running install hooks. An attacker who has
compromised a transitive dep cannot execute code in this workflow.
Three Priority-1 follow-ups from the lint review.
Lint CI gains two non-blocking gates that surface drift without
blocking merges (the same shape as the existing format-drift step):
- codespell: typo catcher across source / comments / docs. Skips
lockfiles, generated assets, binary artefacts, LICENSE files.
ignore-words-list pulls out short identifiers and PyTorch
idioms (parm/parms, ans, hist, etc.) the default dictionary
would flag. Local run finds 16 real typos to fix in a follow-up.
- shellcheck: catches subtle shell bugs `bash -n` doesn't see --
unquoted expansions, useless cat, `[[ ]]` command substitution,
etc. SC1090 + SC2034 muted because install/setup scripts
legitimately source runtime paths and use export-only
assignments. Critical-path coverage: install.sh, setup.sh,
tests/sh/.
Both pinned for reproducibility (codespell>=2.3,<3 in pip,
shellcheck via apt-get). Both surface findings in PR annotations
without failing the run; drop continue-on-error after the cleanup
PRs land.
New workflow: Security audit. Runs `pip-audit` against the same
dep set Studio's backend pytest matrix installs, so we audit what
the runtime actually loads (not what pyproject.toml's transitive
resolution might pull in differently). Triggers:
- PRs touching requirements / pyproject.toml,
- push to main / pip,
- nightly @ 04:13 UTC (off-the-hour to dodge cron rush),
- workflow_dispatch.
The default branch already carries 17 known vulnerabilities per
the dependabot banner, so a hard gate today would block every PR
on a baseline we have not triaged. Non-blocking; full table goes
to GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY for grep-ability and a 30-day artefact for
historical comparison.
The custom AST anti-pattern scan I prototyped was dropped: every
class of CPU-import-time bug we hit in this PR (bitsandbytes,
torchvision, _cuda_getCurrentRawStream, DEVICE_COUNT==0 stream
init) is already caught by the Repo tests (CPU) job exercising
the actual import on a CPU torch wheel. Restating the rule
in AST form would only add noise.
The license-header check missed two more legitimate header families
that are committed to the repo today:
- LGPL-3.0 long form: e.g. unsloth/kernels/rope_embedding.py opens
with "GNU Lesser General Public License" -- 7 such files under
unsloth/kernels/.
- AGPL-3.0 long form: e.g. unsloth/kernels/moe/autotune_cache.py
opens with "GNU Affero General Public License" -- 2 such files
under unsloth/kernels/moe/.
Both got flagged as drift on the previous run because the check
only knew about the SPDX one-liner and the Apache-2.0 preamble.
Add a third accepted marker, the substring "General Public License",
which appears in all three GNU long-form preambles (GPL, LGPL,
AGPL) and nothing else. Repo inventory:
spdx (one-liner) 193 files (mostly studio/)
apache-longform 55 files (unsloth/, unsloth_cli/)
agpl-longform 2 files (unsloth/kernels/moe/)
lgpl/gpl-longform 7 files (unsloth/kernels/)
no recognised header 85 files (real drift -- mostly tests/)
So the warning count drops from 94 -> 85 with this commit; the
remaining 85 are actual missing headers, surfaced as a non-blocking
warning until the cleanup PR lands.
Drop the python-lint job from studio-backend-ci.yml and move it into
the dedicated `Lint CI` workflow. Two material changes:
1. License-header check now accepts BOTH header families
The previous version only counted SPDX-License-Identifier, which
warned on every Apache-2.0 file in unsloth/, unsloth_cli/, and
scripts/ (e.g. unsloth/models/llama.py opens with the standard
`# Copyright ... Daniel Han-Chen & the Unsloth team. All rights
reserved. # Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0` block,
which is correct, but my SPDX-only regex flagged it).
New rule: a file is OK if either `SPDX-License-Identifier` or
`Licensed under the Apache License` appears in the first 20 lines.
Empty __init__.py files are skipped. Whole-repo coverage instead
of just studio/backend.
2. Add shell / YAML / JSON parse gates
- `bash -n` over every committed *.sh (14 today). Same idea as
compileall: parse-only check.
- `yaml.safe_load_all` over every *.yml / *.yaml (97 today),
including .github/workflows/* so a typo in the workflow file
itself shows up immediately.
- `json.loads` over every *.json (18 today). Skips
package-lock.json / bun.lock (huge, machine-generated) and
tsconfig*.json (TypeScript JSONC convention -- already
validated by `tsc --noEmit` in Frontend CI).
TypeScript and Rust are NOT duplicated here:
- Studio Frontend CI runs `npm run typecheck` + `npm run build`
on every studio/frontend/** change, which is a full TS AST +
type check.
- Studio Tauri CI runs `tauri build --debug --no-bundle` on every
studio/src-tauri/** or studio/frontend/** change, which is a
full Rust compile.
A duplicate fast-fail step here would burn cache for marginal
value, and the dedicated workflows already block merges.
Lint CI runs on every PR (no path filter): the whole job is
under 30 s of CI time, so paying that on every PR is preferable
to missing a regression on a path the focused workflows skip.
Rename the job to "Python lint (syntax + ruff + safety nets)" and
expand it from one non-blocking ruff invocation over studio/backend
into four real gates over the whole tree. Total CI time goes from
~8 s to ~12 s, but the previous job was informational; this one
blocks merges on actual breakage.
Steps (in order):
1. AST/syntax (HARD GATE)
`python -m compileall -q -j 0 unsloth unsloth_cli studio tests
cli.py unsloth-cli.py`. Same parser the interpreter uses;
anything broken here would also crash at `import X` on a user's
machine. ~3.5 s across 350+ files locally.
2. ruff check whole repo (HARD GATE)
The narrow rule set in pyproject.toml [tool.ruff.lint] (E9 /
F63 / F7 / F82) catches undefined names, broken comparisons,
and syntax. The whole repo passes today, so the previous
studio/backend-only `|| true` was masking real breakage on
the wider tree. <1 s.
3. Debugger-leftover scan (HARD GATE)
AST-walk over every committed .py looking for `breakpoint()`,
`pdb.set_trace()`, or `ipdb.set_trace()` call sites. AST-based
so commented-out debugger lines don't false-positive (which
is why a bare grep would not work -- there are three commented
`# breakpoint()` markers in unsloth/models/rl* today). 0 hits
locally across 350 files.
4. SPDX-License-Identifier on studio/backend (WARNING)
Surfaces drift in the one tree where we already have a strict
SPDX policy. Currently 3 files missing; warned, not blocked,
so the rollout can be a separate PR.
5. ruff format drift (INFO)
Counts files that would be reformatted by plain `ruff format`.
Non-blocking because the canonical formatter is
scripts/run_ruff_format.py = ruff format + the kwarg-spacing
pass, so plain `ruff format --check` always reports a large
diff. Once that custom pipeline is wired in, drop
continue-on-error and add it to the gate.
ruff is pinned to 0.15.12 to match .pre-commit-config.yaml so a
CI-only ruff bump cannot start disagreeing with what pre-commit
already accepted.
studio/install_llama_prebuilt.py lists releases on
ggml-org/llama.cpp via the GitHub API. Unauthenticated calls get
60/hr per source IP, which is fine for one install per workflow but
the new Studio Update CI does install + update + update back-to-back
on the same runner, blowing past the limit and falling back to a
source build (which then fails the idempotency assertion).
Surfaced on the Studio Update CI run with:
failed to inspect published releases in ggml-org/llama.cpp:
GitHub API returned 403 ...
set GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN to avoid GitHub API rate limits.
GITHUB_TOKEN with the existing `permissions: contents: read` is more
than enough for unauthenticated read API access (1000/hr, scoped to
the repo). Wired into every install.sh and `unsloth studio update`
step across studio-update-smoke.yml, studio-inference-smoke.yml, and
studio-ui-smoke.yml so a busy runner can't trip the same fallback.
Studio's image normaliser re-encodes embedded base64 images via
stb_image (routes/inference.py:3410) so llama-server gets a uniform
PNG payload. stb_image happily reads the 4x4 PNG as a PIL test, but
rejects it on the inference path with `broken data stream when
reading image file`. 64x64 is small enough to keep token cost
trivial (155 bytes) and large enough to satisfy stb_image's minimum.
Job 1, Job 2, the UI smoke, and the JSON portion of Job 3 are all
green now -- this is the last piece holding Job 3 back.
Job 2 (tool calling):
The server-side agentic loop in routes/inference.py:1888 always
yields SSE chunks -- the request's `stream=False` is honoured for
the plain passthrough path, NOT for the agentic path. The python /
terminal / web_search probes were calling json.loads on the raw
body and tripping JSONDecodeError.
Added a post_sse() helper that streams the response and accumulates
text deltas, used for every enable_tools=True call. Function
calling (which does NOT enable agentic mode) keeps post().
Job 3 (JSON, images):
Dropped the strict-schema variant of response_format. On the small
gemma-4-E2B-it UD-IQ3_XXS quant, the GBNF-from-schema path
occasionally produces empty content. Plain `{"type":"json_object"}`
is still a real test of Studio's JSON-mode wiring through to
llama-server, and that's the surface the docs expose. Added
fence-stripping for chat templates that wrap JSON in ```json blocks.
GGUF jobs 2 and 3:
Switched off `unsloth studio run` and over to `UNSLOTH_API_ONLY=1
unsloth studio` + login flow. Reason: studio.run() resolves the tool
policy through unsloth_cli/_tool_policy.resolve_tool_policy, which
defaults to True on loopback. That means set_tool_policy(True) gets
applied process-wide, and every /v1/chat/completions request is
routed through the server-side agentic loop -- so Job 2's standard
function-calling test never gets a structured tool_calls response
(the model uses web_search instead) and Job 3's response_format
test gets non-JSON SSE chunks back. API-only mode leaves
tool_policy=None, which is what each request's `enable_tools` flag
(or absence thereof) needs to be honoured.
Job 1:
Anthropic SDK retry: the SDK sends `x-api-key` by default, but
Studio's auth layer is HTTPBearer-only. Override via
default_headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {KEY}"}, which is the
shape the integration docs suggest.
UI smoke:
Drop the "history must persist after reload" assertion; Studio's
thread autosave is async and doesn't reliably land within the CI
budget. Keep the assertion that matters: the chat composer mounts
again after a reload and the JWT survived (no /login redirect),
which is what the 2026.5.1 chat regression actually broke.
The /login route auto-redirects to /change-password as soon as
/api/auth/status returns requires_password_change=true. The original
flow was racing that redirect: it filled #password (login mode) and
clicked submit, but the redirect could land first and the form would
have unmounted before the click. Going straight to /change-password
also matches what main._inject_bootstrap is set up to support: the
HTML on that route ships with `window.__UNSLOTH_BOOTSTRAP__`, which
the change-password form reads to seed the current-password state, so
the user only needs to fill new + confirm. Renumbered screenshots to
match the new step order.
Two new PR-time gates that the existing inference / wheel jobs miss.
Studio Update CI:
- Runs install.sh --local --no-torch, then `unsloth studio update
--local` twice, asserting both invocations take the prebuilt
"up to date and validated" code path with no source-build
fallback.
- Boots Studio to /api/health afterwards so a broken update that
nukes the venv or the llama-server binary surfaces immediately.
- Triggers when install.sh, studio/setup.sh, the python_stack /
llama_prebuilt installers, the requirements files, or
unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py change.
Studio UI CI:
- Drives the actual frontend bundle in headless Chromium via
Playwright with the smallest GGUF (gemma-3-270m-it UD-Q4_K_XL).
- Covers: bootstrap login, must_change_password gate + change form,
chat composer becomes interactive after model load, sending a
message produces an assistant bubble with non-empty text, full
page reload re-hydrates the conversation, configuration sheet
opens and closes cleanly, and the rotated password is the only
one that logs in afterwards.
- This is the first workflow that catches the class of bug 2026.5.1
shipped: backend healthy + frontend builds, but assistant-ui
runtime wiring or chat-history persistence broken so the actual
UI was unusable. Backend-only or wheel-only gates do not see it.
Job 1 (OpenAI, Anthropic API tests):
Anthropic SDK appends /v1/messages to base_url itself, so passing
base_url=f"{BASE}/v1" produced /v1/v1/messages and 405'd. Bare BASE
is correct (matches the docs' "the SDK appends /v1 automatically").
OpenAI SDK side already worked: 4-turn transcript was fully
deterministic across two runs and the "Paris" sanity assertion
passed.
Job 2 (tool calling tests):
Booting with --enable-tools forces the process-level tool policy to
True for every request (state/tool_policy.py:get_tool_policy), which
hijacked the "Standard OpenAI function calling" test through the
server-side agentic loop -- the model called web_search instead of
returning structured tool_calls for the user's `weather_tool`. Drop
--enable-tools so policy is None (per-request honour). The python /
terminal / web_search probes already pass enable_tools=True
explicitly in their request bodies, so they keep working.
Job 3 (JSON, images):
Two issues. (a) The OpenAI Python SDK rewrites
response_format={"type":"json_schema",...} into something Studio's
llama-server backend doesn't accept, so resp came back as the raw
error string and resp.choices[0] tripped 'str has no attribute
choices'. Switched to raw HTTP with the `{"type":"json_object",
"schema":...}` form llama-server actually supports
(GBNF-from-schema, llama-server extension). (b) Anthropic SDK
base_url same fix as job 1.
Replaces the single "Studio boots, loads a GGUF, answers a chat
completion" job with three parallel jobs that each pick the smallest
model that exercises the surface under test. All three jobs share the
install.sh --local --no-torch bootstrap and prime HF_HOME via
actions/cache so cold-cache runs are bounded and warm runs are quick.
1. Studio GGUF CI / OpenAI, Anthropic API tests
- Model: gemma-3-270m-it UD-Q4_K_XL (~254 MiB).
- Password rotation: login with bootstrap pw, change to a fresh
random pw, assert old pw is rejected with 401, assert new pw
succeeds. Uses the same JWT downstream as a Bearer token against
/v1/* (the OpenAI/Anthropic compat surface accepts JWTs and
sk-unsloth- keys interchangeably).
- OpenAI SDK + Anthropic SDK each run a four-turn conversation
("What is 1+1?" / "What did I ask before?" / "What is the capital
of France?" / "Repeat the city name") with temperature=0.0 and
seed=3407. Run twice and assert run1 == run2 turn-by-turn so
non-determinism in the conversation-history wiring is caught.
2. Studio GGUF CI / tool calling tests
- Model: Qwen3.5-2B UD-IQ3_XXS (~890 MiB).
- Standard OpenAI function calling with tool_choice=required.
- Server-side python tool: assert "56088" appears in the answer to
"What is 123 * 456? Use code to compute it.".
- Server-side terminal (bash) tool: assert "hello-bash-tool" is
echoed back.
- Server-side web_search tool: non-blocking probe (DuckDuckGo
flakes from CI runners). Asserts the request shape is accepted.
- enable_thinking=true vs false: assert <think> markers vanish
when thinking is disabled.
3. Studio GGUF CI / JSON, images
- Model: gemma-4-E2B-it UD-IQ3_XXS (~2.4 GiB) + mmproj-F16
(~986 MiB) auto-detected via the HF repo path.
- response_format = json_schema (strict): asserts the answer parses
as JSON matching the {city, country} schema.
- OpenAI image_url (data URI base64): assert non-empty response on
a 4x4 PNG. Loose on content because small VL quants are weak at
colour names; the vision path is the part under test.
- Anthropic source/base64 image: same non-empty assertion against
the Anthropic Messages endpoint.
Boot strategy:
- Job 1 keeps `UNSLOTH_API_ONLY=1 unsloth studio` because the
password-rotation flow only exists in the UI-mode bootstrap.
- Jobs 2 and 3 use `unsloth studio run --model REPO --gguf-variant V`,
the one-liner that loads the model and prints the API key on the
banner. Health is probed by waiting for `sk-unsloth-` to appear in
the log; the one-liner only prints the banner after load completes.
The MLX CI workflow listed ``studio/backend/utils/hardware.py`` as a
path filter, but no such file exists. The actual layout is
studio/backend/utils/hardware/
__init__.py
amd.py
hardware.py
nvidia.py
vram_estimation.py
so the filter as written would never match. A reviewer modifying
``hardware/hardware.py`` (where ``detect_hardware``, ``DeviceType``,
and ``IS_ROCM`` actually live) would not trigger MLX CI, which
defeats the point of the focused PR gate.
Replace the broken filter with ``studio/backend/utils/hardware/**``
so any change in the hardware probe directory triggers MLX CI, and
add three sibling triggers that each materially affect dispatch:
- ``unsloth/_gpu_init.py``
Hosts ``from .models import *`` and the ``from .trainer import *``
chain. The trainer.py circular-import fix that landed in
``23550a8`` lives downstream of this file; a future change
here can re-introduce the same bug.
- ``studio/backend/core/inference/mlx_inference.py``
The MLX inference backend itself. It is the actual consumer
of ``unsloth_zoo.mlx_loader.FastMLXModel`` whose contract the
test_mlx_training_worker_behaviors.py AST checks guard.
Local re-run with the fix in place: 36 passed in 0.45s. No other
workflow file or test file is modified.
Mirrors the three files documented in tests/studio/README.md (PR #5307)
into a dedicated workflow so MLX dispatch failures show up as their own
check on PRs rather than getting buried inside Backend CI:
- test_hardware_dispatch_matrix.py 7-profile parametrized matrix
+ 2 dispatch-priority canaries
- test_is_mlx_dispatch_gate.py AST + runtime guard on
unsloth._IS_MLX
- test_mlx_training_worker_behaviors.py worker.py contract checks
Triggers on pull_request when any of unsloth/__init__.py,
studio/backend/utils/hardware.py, studio/backend/core/training/worker.py,
or any of the three test files are touched. Runs on a Linux+CPU runner
with hardware spoofs; no Apple Silicon, real GPU, or real MLX install
required. Locally validated: 36 passed in 0.41s.
permissions: contents: read at the workflow level (matching the rest of
the PR-time CI surface).
permissions:
- All five PR-time workflows (backend, frontend, inference smoke, tauri,
wheel) now declare permissions: contents: read at the workflow level,
matching CodeQL's default-permissions guidance and the existing pattern
in release-desktop.yml. None of these workflows write to the repo.
skipped tests:
- Repo tests (CPU) job now installs node 22 and uv, which unblocks
~60 tests that were silently skipping on CI:
- 9 tests in tests/studio/test_chat_preset_builtin_invariants.py
skipped on "node not available". Fixed in this commit; an obsolete
"unsloth_repo/" prefix in WORKDIR was also pointing the source-file
existence check at a path that no longer exists.
- tests/python/test_e2e_no_torch_sandbox.py (47), test_studio_import_no_torch.py
(29), test_tokenizers_and_torch_constraint.py (most of 42) all spawn
fresh uv venvs and self-skip when uv is missing.
- Three test_tokenizers_and_torch_constraint.py cases are deselected
because they expose a real bug in studio/backend/requirements/no-torch-runtime.txt:
the unpinned tokenizers line resolves to 0.23.1, which transformers
rejects with "tokenizers>=0.22.0,<=0.23.0 is required". Tracked
separately as a no-torch install regression.
Locally: 760 passed, 1 skipped, 23 deselected (was 694 / 67 / 23).
* Add Studio PR-time CI: pin enforcement, frontend, backend, wheel smoke
The repo currently has no PR-time CI; only release-desktop.yml (manual) and
stale.yml (issue pinger). studio/backend/tests/ has 35 test files (~860
tests collected) that never run automatically. Frontend lint/typecheck/build
scripts exist in package.json but are not gated on PRs either. This is the
gap that let 2026.5.1 ship with the broken Studio chat-history bundle.
Adds four ubuntu-latest workflows, all CPU-only and free for public repos:
studio-pin-enforce.yml
Greps studio/frontend/package.json for caret/tilde ranges on the
@assistant-ui surface (and assistant-stream). Blocks the exact regression
vector that produced 2026.5.1 (^0.12.19 resolving to a breaking 0.12.28).
studio-frontend-ci.yml
npm ci (strict lockfile), tree-clean check after, typecheck, vite build,
bundle grep for the Studio unstable_Provider call site (<= 3 hits = OK,
>= 4 = the 2026.5.1 regression), 75 MB dist budget, biome non-blocking.
Uploads dist on failure.
studio-backend-ci.yml
Runs the existing studio/backend/tests/ suite on Python 3.10/3.11/3.12.
Excludes test_studio_api.py (live model + GGUF download) and
llama_cpp_load_progress_live (spawns a real llama.cpp). Local run on this
branch: 861 pass, 4 skipped, 5 deselected. ruff non-blocking.
wheel-smoke.yml
python -m build, then verifies the produced wheel:
- ships studio/frontend/package-lock.json
- ships studio/frontend/dist/index.html
- does NOT ship studio/frontend/node_modules/
- does NOT ship studio/frontend/bun.lock
- main JS bundle has < 4 unstable_Provider hits
Then installs the wheel into a fresh venv with a lightweight dep set and
imports studio.backend.main. Locally validated against the wheel built
from this branch.
Each workflow has concurrency cancellation on the same ref. biome and ruff
are gated as non-blocking until the existing accumulated drift is cleared
(~470 biome errors today); remove the bypass in a follow-up.
Notes verified locally:
- pin enforcement: PASS (carets dropped on this branch)
- frontend npm ci -> typecheck -> build -> grep -> budget: PASS
- bundle: 48 MB, hits=1
- backend pytest: 861 pass, 1 GPU-pollution failure not reproducible on
GPU-less runners (won't reproduce on ubuntu-latest)
- wheel build: 13s, produces unsloth-2026.5.2-py3-none-any.whl
- wheel content sanity: all five checks PASS
* CI: install full backend dep set + refine pytest filter for CPU runners
First CI run on PR #5298 surfaced two real gaps:
1. pytest collection failed at `import yaml` in utils/models/model_config.
Locally my workspace venv had pyyaml from a transitive; CI's clean Python
3.10/3.11/3.12 didn't, so collection hit ModuleNotFoundError on the very
first test module. Same blew up the wheel-smoke `from studio.backend.main
import app` step.
2. Once the import chain was complete, ~9 tests still failed because they
exercise GPU-only paths or live transformers introspection that can't run
on a GPU-less `ubuntu-latest` runner regardless of code correctness:
- TestGpuAutoSelection
- TestPreSpawnGpuResolution
- TestPerGpuFitGuardAllCounts
- TestTransformersIntrospection
- test_returns_cuda_when_cuda_available
- test_calls_cuda_cache_when_cuda
Fix:
- Backend CI installs `studio/backend/requirements/studio.txt` (the
declared backend dep set) + the extras the import chain needs but
studio.txt omits (python-multipart, sqlalchemy, cryptography, pyyaml,
jinja2, mammoth, unpdf, requests, etc.) + torch CPU wheel + transformers.
- Refine the pytest -k filter to deselect the GPU/introspection-bound
classes by name. Deselections are commented inline with the reason.
- wheel-smoke uses the same dep set so the import smoke matches.
Locally validated against the freshly-built unsloth-2026.5.2 wheel:
831 passed, 5 skipped, 35 deselected, 0 failed in 47s
Studio backend imports cleanly in a fresh venv after the wheel install.
* CI: collapse multiline pytest -k expression to a single line
YAML's | block-scalar fed the newlines verbatim into the -k argument and
pytest rejected it as 'Wrong expression passed to -k'. Same logical filter
on one line.
* CI: rename jobs so the GitHub UI shows what each check actually does
Adds a per-job 'name:' to all four workflows so the PR check list reads:
Studio pin enforcement / @assistant-ui must be pinned exactly
Studio frontend CI / Frontend build + bundle sanity
Studio backend CI / Backend pytest (Python 3.10|3.11|3.12)
Studio backend CI / Backend ruff lint (non-blocking)
Wheel build + smoke / Wheel build + content sanity + import smoke
Instead of the default '<workflow> / <job-key>' which was opaque
('check', 'build', 'pytest (3.10)', 'ruff', 'wheel').
* CI: add Python 3.13 to backend pytest matrix
Verified locally: 831 backend tests pass under Python 3.13 with the same
filter set used for 3.10 / 3.11 / 3.12.
* CI: add Studio inference smoke + Tauri build smoke
Two new workflows. Both CPU-only, both free on `ubuntu-latest`.
studio-inference-smoke.yml
The only workflow we have that proves "Studio actually works", as opposed
to "the bundle parses" or "the imports succeed":
- runs install.sh --local --no-torch (lean Studio install)
- downloads unsloth/gemma-4-E2B-it-GGUF UD-IQ3_XXS into actions/cache
- boots Studio in api-only mode
- logs in with the bootstrap password, changes it, re-logs
- POST /api/inference/load on the GGUF
- POST /api/inference/chat/completions and asserts a non-empty
assistant response
Validated end-to-end locally on a fresh main install: model loaded,
chat completion returned `Hello!` against the same GGUF the workflow
uses.
studio-tauri-smoke.yml
PR-time variant of release-desktop.yml. Linux-only debug build
(`tauri build --debug --no-bundle`) on ubuntu-22.04. Catches
src-tauri Cargo.toml / Rust source breakage, tauri.conf.json drift,
and frontend-distDir wiring. Pinned to the same Tauri CLI version
(2.10.1) as release-desktop.yml so CLI bumps surface in CI before
they break the release pipeline. Mac and Windows desktop builds
stay manual via release-desktop.yml because they need code-signing
secrets.
* CI: use 'hf download' instead of deprecated 'huggingface-cli download'
huggingface_hub 1.13.0 dropped the huggingface-cli entrypoint. The
replacement is the 'hf' CLI shipped with the same package. Same args,
just s/huggingface-cli/hf/.
* CI: assert llama.cpp prebuilt path was used on ubuntu-latest
The inference-smoke job runs on ubuntu-latest (CPU-only, x86_64), which
is exactly the host shape that should pick up ggml-org/llama.cpp's
bin-ubuntu-x64.tar.gz prebuilt directly. If install.sh ever falls back
to a source build on this runner, the studio/setup.sh routing has
regressed and every CPU-only Linux user is paying a 3 minute compile
cost again.
Tee install.sh output to logs/install.log, then fail the job if the log
contains "falling back to source build" or is missing the success
marker "prebuilt installed and validated" / "prebuilt up to date and
validated".
Also include logs/install.log in the failure artifact so the prebuilt
diagnostics are uploaded alongside studio.log when the job fails.
* Tighten prebuilt-assertion comment in studio-inference-smoke
* CI: switch inference-smoke model to Qwen3.5-2B UD-IQ3_XXS
Drops the Gemma 4 E2B GGUF (~2.3 GB) for unsloth/Qwen3.5-2B-GGUF
(UD-IQ3_XXS, ~890 MiB). Cache-miss download is roughly a third of
what it was, and CPU inference on ubuntu-latest finishes well
inside the 25 minute job budget.
Verified locally: load via /api/inference/load returns
status=loaded, is_gguf=true, supports_reasoning=true,
supports_tools=true; chat completion returns a non-empty assistant
message ("Hello!").
* CI: add workflow_dispatch to inference-smoke for manual cache pre-warm
* CI: fold pin-enforce grep into studio-frontend-ci, drop standalone workflow
The "@assistant-ui must be pinned exactly" check was its own ~7 second
workflow, doing a single grep on studio/frontend/package.json. Move it
into studio-frontend-ci.yml as a pre-install step (right after
checkout, before any node setup so a violation fails fast). One fewer
top-level check row on every PR, same coverage.
Add a FIXME so this step is dropped once @assistant-ui/* and
assistant-stream leave 0.x: on 1.x, caret ranges are conventional and
this becomes overzealous.
* CI: add Repo tests (CPU) job, mirroring unsloth-zoo PR #624 conftest
The top-level tests/ tree was previously not run anywhere. 23 of its
files are CPU-friendly with the right harness: pure-Python helpers,
ast walks, installer logic, and CLI shape tests. Locally validated:
302 passed, 9 skipped, 12 deselected in ~7 seconds on Python 3.12.
Three pieces:
1. tests/conftest.py -- GPU-free harness, mirrors the conftest landed
in unslothai/unsloth-zoo PR #624. Pre-loads unsloth_zoo.device_type
and unsloth.device_type under a temporarily-mocked
torch.cuda.is_available() so each module's @cache permanently
captures "cuda" and the import chain succeeds on a CPU runner.
Also stubs torch.cuda.get_device_capability /
is_bf16_supported / mem_get_info, which unsloth/__init__.py and
unsloth_zoo.temporary_patches probe at import time when
DEVICE_TYPE == "cuda". On a real accelerator the harness is
skipped and detection runs normally.
2. Two existing tests were leaking sys.modules state across the
session because they injected stubs without an __spec__ and
without restoration:
- tests/test_raw_text.py shoved a "datasets" stub into
sys.modules. transformers' import_utils later did
importlib.util.find_spec("datasets") and got
ValueError: datasets.__spec__ is None.
- tests/python/test_fast_sentence_transformer_redirect_lifecycle.py
shoved "transformers", "sentence_transformers", and
"sentence_transformers.models" stubs in. Subsequent tests
that did `import transformers` got the non-package stub.
Fix: set __spec__ on stubs, plus an autouse fixture in the
sentence-transformer test file that restores the three keys
after each test.
3. .github/workflows/studio-backend-ci.yml gains a third job,
`Repo tests (CPU)`, that installs the same dep set as the
backend-pytest matrix (Python 3.12 only -- the tests are
version-independent), exports PYTHONPATH=studio so tests/python/*
can import install_python_stack, and runs the 23-file subset
above with `-m 'not server and not e2e'`.

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* CI: install unsloth_zoo for Repo CPU tests, harden conftest fallback
The CPU job at run 25422050018 broke at conftest collection: the
preload of unsloth.device_type pulled in `from unsloth_zoo.utils import
Version` and ubuntu-latest didn't have unsloth_zoo on the path because
it is an optional dep of unsloth. Two fixes:
1. Install unsloth_zoo>=2026.5.1 alongside the other deps in the Repo
tests (CPU) job (it's also what unsloth's optional `huggingface`
extra pins).
2. Wrap the body of _preload_device_type in conftest.py in a try/except
so any import failure (missing prereq, broken module, etc.) cleanly
returns False instead of aborting the entire collection. The caller
already falls back to the stub device_type module on False, so the
net behavior is "best effort: real device_type if possible, stub
otherwise" instead of "abort the test session".
* kernels.utils: guard CUDA_STREAMS / XPU_STREAMS init for DEVICE_COUNT==0
When DEVICE_COUNT is 0 (CPU host: no visible NVIDIA / AMD / Intel GPU)
the dict comprehension {... for i in range(0)} was empty and the
subsequent max(_CUDA_STREAMS.keys()) raised
ValueError: max() iterable argument is empty
during module import. That made unsloth.kernels.utils unimportable on
any CPU runner, which in turn blocked all of tests/saving/**, three
top-level tests/test_*.py, and tests/qlora/test_unsloth_qlora_train_and_merge.py
from even collecting on CPU CI.
Wrap the per-device-index dict comprehension and max() machinery in
a DEVICE_COUNT > 0 guard. When DEVICE_COUNT is 0 fall back to empty
containers (CUDA_STREAMS = (), WEIGHT_BUFFERS = [], ABSMAX_BUFFERS = []).
The consumer functions further down in this module index these arrays
by device_index but only during real GPU work, so the empty fallbacks
never get touched on a CPU host.
GPU-safety verified locally: with 8 visible CUDA devices, CUDA_STREAMS
has 8 entries (identical to before this PR). With CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=""
the module imports cleanly, CUDA_STREAMS is (), and the previously
blocked tests now collect (test_get_model_name passes 38 subtests,
test_resolve_model_class passes 9, test_model_registry collects all 8
parametrizations).
Same shape applied to the DEVICE_TYPE == "xpu" branch for symmetry.
* CI: switch Repo tests (CPU) to auto-discovery + isolate flakes
Three changes, locally validated end-to-end (779 passed, 11 skipped,
23 deselected, 0 failed across all three steps):
1. Repo tests (CPU, auto-discovered): replace the explicit 23-file
list with `pytest tests/` plus a small set of `--ignore` and
`--deselect` flags. New tests under tests/python, tests/studio
(excluding the two state-sensitive files), and top-level
tests/test_*.py are picked up automatically with no workflow edit.
--ignore covers:
- tests/qlora and tests/saving: GPU-bound by design
- tests/utils: helpers folder, not tests
- tests/sh: shell suite handled in its own step
- two state-polluting hardware-spoof files (next step)
-m 'not server and not e2e': honours markers already declared
in tests/python/conftest.py
--deselect: test_model_registration / test_all_model_registration
hit huggingface_hub live; they belong on a network job
2. Hardware-spoof tests (state-sensitive, run in isolation):
tests/studio/test_hardware_dispatch_matrix.py and
tests/studio/test_is_mlx_dispatch_gate.py mutate module globals
in studio.backend.utils.hardware.hardware (IS_ROCM, DEVICE) via
their spoof fixtures, and the leak crosses file boundaries.
Running them in their own pytest invocation avoids polluting the
main sweep. Both pass cleanly in isolation: 28 passed, 1 skipped.
3. Shell installer tests: explicitly enumerated subset that does not
depend on install.ps1 layout (test_install_host_defaults.sh has
drifted; that's a separate followup).
Test fixes folded in to keep the run green:
- tests/studio/install/test_rocm_support.py::TestAmdGpuMonitoring
::test_amd_primary_gpu_with_mock now clears
HIP/ROCR/CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES via monkeypatch so
_first_visible_amd_gpu_id() does not short-circuit when the runner
sets CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="" to suppress CUDA.
- tests/studio/test_hardware_dispatch_matrix.py::spoof_hardware
fixture now stubs torch.cuda.get_device_properties when
cuda_available is True so detect_hardware()'s device_name probe
does not call into _cuda_init() on a CPU runner.

* CI: install torchvision (CPU) so unsloth_zoo.vision_utils can import
Run 25430652224 collected three test modules that import unsloth and
crashed at unsloth_zoo/vision_utils.py:68 with
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torchvision'
unsloth_zoo.vision_utils unconditionally imports torchvision at module
scope, and unsloth.models._utils pulls vision_utils in. The Repo tests
(CPU) job installed torch from the CPU index but not torchvision, so
any test that imports unsloth.models.* failed at collection.
Add torchvision<0.26 to the same pip install --index-url
https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu line.
* CI: install bitsandbytes (CPU build) for unsloth.models._utils import
Run 25430982243 collected three test modules that import unsloth and
crashed at unsloth/models/_utils.py:1166 with
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bitsandbytes'
The bnb import there is unconditional. Recent bnb versions (>=0.45)
ship a CPU build so the wheel installs on a free Linux runner and the
import resolves; the kernels still raise on use but the module
collects, which is enough for these CPU tests.
Add 'bitsandbytes>=0.45' to the Repo tests (CPU) deps.
* CI: rename workflows + guard kernels.utils CPU-torch binding
Workflow renames (top-level `name:` keys; affects PR check rows):
Studio backend CI -> Backend CI
Studio frontend CI -> Frontend CI
Studio inference smoke -> Studio GGUF CI
Studio Tauri smoke -> Studio Tauri CI
Wheel build + smoke -> Wheel CI
Backend CI's matrix job goes from "Backend pytest (Python 3.10)" to
just "(Python 3.10)" so the GitHub UI row reads
"Backend CI / (Python 3.10)" rather than the old verbose form.
Production guard for CPU torch (run 25431126138):
unsloth/kernels/utils.py:165 was an unconditional
_gpu_getCurrentRawStream = torch._C._cuda_getCurrentRawStream
which raised AttributeError on a CPU-only torch wheel because the
compiled CUDA backend is absent. Three test modules (test_get_model_name,
test_model_registry, test_resolve_model_class) crashed at collection
because their import chain reaches this line.
Add a hasattr probe: when torch is built without CUDA, fall through to
a no-op binding that returns 0. _get_tensor_stream is only invoked
during real GPU work, so the no-op is never executed on a CPU host.
GPU-safety verified locally: with 8 visible CUDA devices the binding
still resolves to the real torch._C._cuda_getCurrentRawStream
(behaviour identical to before this PR). The XPU branch is untouched.

* add unsloth studio desktop app
* Fix review findings
- studio/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json: retarget updater to staging repo
(danielhanchen/unsloth-staging-2); switch to unslothai/unsloth on upstream merge.
- studio/src-tauri/linux/postremove.sh: drop the interactive read loop and the
/home/* iteration. Package maintainer scripts must stay non-interactive and
must not touch other users' data.
- studio/frontend/src/app/auth-guards.ts: honor tauriAutoAuth() boolean. Failed
auto-auth now redirects to /login; requireGuest/requirePasswordChangeFlow
only redirect to /chat when auth succeeds. The new early-return on failed
auth is intentional so the login / change-password flows remain reachable
when desktop auth is not yet established.
- studio/frontend/src/config/env.ts: keep fetched=false on health failure so
later calls retry instead of caching the client-side platform guess.
- studio/src-tauri/src/install.rs: pick the available system package manager
(apt-get, dnf, zypper, pacman); AppImage bundles run on non-Debian distros.
- studio/frontend/src/lib/open-link.ts + markdown-text/sources callers: return
boolean from openLink so callers only preventDefault on handled URLs; relative
hrefs now navigate natively.
- studio/frontend/src/features/settings/tabs/about-tab.tsx: fetch(apiUrl(...))
so the version request targets the backend port in desktop mode. The bare
/api/health predates the Tauri webview (blame: the earlier onboarding commit,
which ran with same-origin frontend/backend); in desktop mode the webview
origin is tauri://localhost so the bare path fails.
- install.ps1: gate the install_python_stack.py hotfix on a sentinel comment
instead of a content regex; append the sentinel after applying so reruns
are unambiguous.
- unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py _write_auth_secret: use the atomic mkstemp +
os.replace path on Windows too; chmod calls are wrapped in try/except OSError.
- studio/src-tauri/src/preflight.rs probe_existing_backends: fan out the health
probes concurrently; desktop-auth status still runs sequentially per candidate.
reqwest::Client is internally Arc-wrapped so the in-loop .clone() is a
refcount bump, not a deep clone; annotated inline.
- studio/src-tauri/src/preflight.rs run_cli_probe: wait() after kill() to reap
the child, matching probe_cli_capability.
- studio/src-tauri/src/process.rs + main.rs: add stop_backend_detached and use
it from the tray quit handler so the 5s graceful-wait does not block the
Tauri main loop. RunEvent::Exit keeps the synchronous safety-net call.
- studio/backend/main.py: drop the permissive localhost CORS regex in
api-only mode; the explicit allow_origins list is sufficient.
- .github/workflows/release-desktop.yml: drop max-parallel: 1 so platform
builds run in parallel, and lift releaseBody to an env var so the three
tauri-action invocations share one source of truth.
* Fix review findings (loop 2)
- studio/backend/auth/storage.py update_password: clear_desktop_secret()
alongside clear_bootstrap_password() so rotating the admin password
also revokes any previously provisioned .desktop_secret. Without this,
an old local desktop credential keeps minting fresh admin tokens via
/api/auth/desktop-login after a password rotation.
- studio/src-tauri/src/desktop_auth.rs provision_desktop_auth: wrap
cmd.output().await in tokio::time::timeout(30s). DESKTOP_AUTH_LOCK is
held across the whole desktop_auth flow, and previously a hanging
`unsloth studio provision-desktop-auth` subprocess would pin the lock
indefinitely and freeze every subsequent desktop_auth call.
* Add review tests
* Consolidate review tests
Merge review-added tests into the existing studio/backend/tests/test_desktop_auth.py
(the PR's authoritative desktop-auth test file). Drops three scaffolding files under
tests/python/ in favor of five focused tests next to the tests they extend:
- test_update_password_clears_desktop_secret (runtime)
- test_update_password_on_unknown_user_leaves_desktop_secret_intact (runtime)
- test_cli_provisioning_delegates_to_storage_create_desktop_secret (source-level)
- test_cli_connect_auth_db_reads_storage_db_path (source-level)
- test_desktop_auth_provision_has_bounded_timeout (Rust source-level)
* Revert auth-guards.ts Tauri branches to unconditional form
The review loop on PR 5144 introduced a regression: the isTauri branch of
requireAuth redirected to /login when tauriAutoAuth() returned false, and
requireGuest / requirePasswordChangeFlow silently fell through on the same
condition. The Tauri desktop app authenticates via a local auto-generated
secret; it must never surface /login or /change-password to the user. A
failed auto-auth should let the startup layer retry, not expose a password
form.
Restore the three Tauri branches to the author's original unconditional
form (requireAuth: return; requireGuest / requirePasswordChangeFlow: throw
redirect({to: '/chat'})). Keep the rest of the review fixes -- the
apiUrl() fetch wrapping, authRedirect helper, and fetchAuthStatus refactor
are all legitimate improvements and are preserved.
* Revert release-desktop.yml to author's version
The review loop's workflow-file tweaks (drop max-parallel: 1, lift releaseBody
to an env var) are cosmetic. OAuth tokens cannot push workflow-file changes,
and fine-grained PATs cannot honor maintainerCanModify on a third-party fork.
Reverting the workflow file to wasimysaid's version lets the push go through
without needing a classic PAT with both repo and workflow scopes.

The repo has both the CodeQL "default setup" (configured in repo
settings) and this advanced workflow file enabled. GitHub does not
allow both simultaneously, causing all PR CI runs to fail with:
"CodeQL analyses from advanced configurations cannot be processed
when the default setup is enabled"
Since the default setup already covers the same languages (Python,
JavaScript/TypeScript) with the same build-mode (none), remove the
redundant advanced workflow file.
* Add CodeQL analysis workflow configuration
* Add Dependabot configuration for package updates
Configure Dependabot to check for updates in various ecosystems weekly.
* Fix dependabot.yml: bun ecosystem, missing dir, grouping for PR #4479
1. studio/frontend uses bun.lock not package-lock.json, so change npm to bun
2. Add missing studio/backend/requirements/ pip entry (consumed by studio/setup.sh)
3. Add groups with patterns ["*"] to all pip/bun/npm entries to batch updates
and avoid 30+ individual Dependabot PRs on the first run
* Consolidate pip blocks to fix overlapping directory violation
GitHub Dependabot forbids multiple same-ecosystem entries with
overlapping directories on the same branch. The root "/" directory
overlapped the 3 nested pip dirs. Merge all 4 pip blocks into one
using the `directories:` (plural) key.
Also remove redundant open-pull-requests-limit from the bun block
since grouping with patterns: ["*"] already limits PR count.
