[AZ-328] C12 BuildCacheOrchestrator + remote C10 invoker (Batch 43)

Implements F1 pre-flight cache build orchestrator on the operator
workstation. Composes C11 TileDownloader (AZ-316), C12 CompanionBringup
(AZ-327), C12 FlightsApiClient (AZ-489), and the new
RemoteCacheProvisionerInvoker into one sequenced flow guarded by a
filelock-backed workstation-side lockfile.

Architectural decisions:
- Phase-0 flight-resolve runs BEFORE the lockfile (ADR-010): a flight
  that cannot be resolved is an operator-input error, not a contended-
  resource error. Enforced by AC-11 + AC-14.
- Consumer-side cuts (AZ-507) for C11 + C10 types: local Protocols /
  mirror DTOs in tile_downloader_cut.py and _types.py; external errors
  matched by name-based whitelisting so unknown exceptions still
  propagate per AC-6. Cross-component type translation lives at the
  composition root (c12_factory).
- Failure surfacing: recognised operational failures (download error,
  companion not ready, build error, flight-resolve error) return as
  CacheBuildReport(outcome=failure, failure_phase=...). Only lockfile
  contention raises (BuildLockHeldError) since no phase ever ran.
- Workstation-side filelock library (project pin); no custom primitive.
- Remote C10 stdout streamed line-by-line as DEBUG with api_key /
  auth_token redacted before logging (defence-in-depth).
- CLI is now a thin adapter; all workflow logic lives in
  build_cache.py. operator-tool build-cache exit codes map per
  CacheBuildReport.failure_phase + failure_exception_type.

Tests: 116 c12 unit tests pass (29 new for AZ-328 covering 15/15 ACs +
NFR-perf-overhead microbench; 7 new for remote_c10_invoker; 3 new for
file_lock; test_cli_build_cache rewritten for new orchestrator
interface). Full repo suite: 1522 passed, 80 skipped.

Also: replays Batch 42's ruff format leftover for c12 flights_api +
test_az489 files (formatter ran over the c12 directory after new
files were added). Pure whitespace; no behaviour change.

+# Batch 43 — Cycle 1 Report
+
+**Date**: 2026-05-13
+**Batch**: 43
+**Tasks**: AZ-328 (C12 Build-Cache Orchestrator, 5pt)
+**Status**: complete; ticket ready to transition to "In Testing".
+
+## Scope
+
+AZ-328 delivers `BuildCacheOrchestrator` — the F1 (pre-flight cache
+build) workflow head for the operator workstation. It composes the
+already-shipped C11 `TileDownloader` (AZ-316), C12 `CompanionBringup`
+(AZ-327), C12 `FlightsApiClient` (AZ-489), and the new
+`RemoteCacheProvisionerInvoker` (this task) into one sequenced flow,
+guarded by a workstation-side `filelock` lockfile. The `operator-tool
+build-cache` subcommand (T1, AZ-326) is now wired to a real
+orchestrator and returns granular exit codes per failure phase.
+
+This unblocks the F1 happy-path acceptance test (C12-IT-02) and gives
+operators the first end-to-end "I have a flight ID, build me a cache"
+workflow.
+
+## Architectural Decisions
+
+### 1. Phase-0 flight-resolve runs BEFORE the lockfile (ADR-010)
+
+Per the AZ-328 spec, the orchestrator resolves the `FlightDto` (via
+`flights_api_client.fetch_flight` or `load_flight_file`), derives the
+bbox, and computes the takeoff origin **before** acquiring the `.c12.lock`
+file. Rationale: a flight that cannot be resolved is an operator-input
+error (wrong flight ID, missing JSON file, expired auth token); holding
+a contended-resource lock while the operator fixes their input would
+artificially block parallel builds against unrelated flights. AC-11 and
+AC-14 enforce.
+
+### 2. Consumer-side cuts (AZ-507) for C11 + C10 types
+
+Per the workspace cross-component import policy, C12 cannot import C11
+or C10 directly. Implemented as:
+
+- `tile_downloader_cut.py` — local `TileDownloaderCut` Protocol +
+  `DownloadRequestCut` / `DownloadBatchReportCut` / `DownloadOutcomeCut`
+  DTOs mirroring the C11 shapes the orchestrator actually consumes.
+- `RemoteBuildOutcome` + `RemoteBuildReport` in `_types.py` mirror the
+  C10 `BuildOutcome` + `BuildReport` shapes that come back as JSON over
+  SSH (the orchestrator never imports C10 types — it parses JSON the
+  remote process emits).
+- External-error matching uses **name-based whitelisting**
+  (`_is_recognised(exc, frozenset({"SatelliteProviderError", ...}))`)
+  rather than `isinstance`. C12 cannot import the actual C11/C10
+  exception classes; matching by class name keeps the orchestrator's
+  failure-phase classification accurate without violating the policy.
+  Anything not on the whitelist propagates raw (per AC-6 — unexpected
+  exceptions still release the lock and surface to the caller).
+- C11 → C12 type translation lives at the composition root
+  (`c12_factory.build_build_cache_orchestrator`), where both components
+  may legally be imported together.
+
+### 3. Failure surfacing: report vs raise
+
+Spec text alternates between "raise `CacheBuildError(...)`" and
+"return `CacheBuildReport(outcome=failure, ...)`". Resolved by:
+
+- **Returning** `CacheBuildReport(outcome=failure, failure_phase=...)`
+  for all *recognised* operational failures (download error, companion
+  not ready, build error, flight-resolve error). The CLI's
+  `_exit_code_for_report` helper translates these into the existing
+  exit-code constants — `EXIT_DOWNLOAD_FAILURE` (20),
+  `EXIT_BUILD_FAILURE` (21), `EXIT_FLIGHT_RESOLVE_*` (90/91/92/93/94/95
+  per AZ-489's existing taxonomy, selected via the new
+  `failure_exception_type` field on `CacheBuildReport`).
+- **Raising** `BuildLockHeldError` for lockfile contention only — this
+  is the one case where there is no `CacheBuildReport` to return (no
+  phase ever ran). The CLI maps it to `EXIT_LOCK_HELD` (50).
+
+This keeps the orchestrator's public surface a pure function-style
+return-the-report API for normal operator flows, while reserving
+exceptions for the "we never even started" case.
+
+### 4. Workstation-side `filelock`, NOT a custom primitive
+
+`FileLock` / `FileLockFactory` Protocols + `FilelockFileLockFactory`
+concrete wrap the already-pinned `filelock` library (used by E-C13).
+Cross-platform file-locking correctness is non-trivial; the spec
+explicitly forbids rolling our own. The `LockTimeout` exception is the
+single failure mode the orchestrator catches.
+
+### 5. Remote C10 stdout streaming + secret redaction
+
+`RemoteCacheProvisionerInvoker.invoke` line-iterates the SSH session's
+stdout, logging each line as `kind="c10.remote.progress"` at DEBUG.
+Memory stays bounded even for multi-hour builds. Before logging, every
+line is filtered through a redactor that replaces the literal `api_key`
+and `auth_token` values with `<REDACTED>` (defence-in-depth — guards
+against C10 itself accidentally echoing them). The final stdout line
+is parsed as `RemoteBuildReport` JSON; malformed output raises
+`BuildReportParseError` (a `CacheBuildError` subclass) with the
+captured tail.
+
+### 6. CLI request construction now lives in `cli.py`, not orchestrator
+
+The previous CLI implementation called `_resolve_flight` itself before
+handing per-flag values to a no-op orchestrator stub. AZ-328 moves
+flight resolution into the orchestrator (per spec), so the CLI now
+just packages flags into a `BuildCacheRequest` (with `FlightSource`
+sum type — `FlightById | FlightFromFile`) and forwards. The CLI is
+now a thin adapter; all the workflow logic lives in
+`build_cache.py`.
+
+## Files Changed
+
+### Production source (new)
+
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c12_operator_tooling/build_cache.py`
+  — `BuildCacheOrchestrator` class + sequenced `build_cache(...)` flow
+  + `_is_recognised` helper for name-based external-error matching.
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c12_operator_tooling/file_lock.py`
+  — `FileLock` / `FileLockFactory` Protocols, `LockTimeout` exception,
+  `FilelockFileLockFactory` concrete wrapping the `filelock` library.
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c12_operator_tooling/remote_c10_invoker.py`
+  — `RemoteCacheProvisionerInvoker` (SSH-driven), `RemoteBuildRequest`
+  DTO, secret-redacting stdout streamer, JSON parser for the final
+  `RemoteBuildReport`.
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c12_operator_tooling/tile_downloader_cut.py`
+  — `TileDownloaderCut` Protocol (consumer-side cut for C11
+  `TileDownloader`).
+
+### Production source (modified)
+
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c12_operator_tooling/_types.py` —
+  added `BuildCacheRequest`, `CacheBuildReport`, `FlightResolveReport`,
+  `BuildCacheOutcome` enum, `FailurePhase` enum, `FlightResolveSource`
+  enum, `FlightSource` sum type (`FlightById` / `FlightFromFile`),
+  `RemoteBuildOutcome` + `RemoteBuildReport` (C10 mirror types),
+  `DownloadRequestCut` + `DownloadBatchReportCut` + `DownloadOutcomeCut`
+  (C11 mirror types).
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c12_operator_tooling/errors.py` —
+  added `CacheBuildError(Exception)` with phase-aware `remediation`
+  attribute, `BuildLockHeldError(CacheBuildError)`,
+  `BuildReportParseError(CacheBuildError)`.
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c12_operator_tooling/config.py` —
+  added `C12BuildCacheConfig` dataclass (`cache_staging_root`,
+  `lock_filename`, `lock_timeout_s`, `companion_cache_root`,
+  `flight_bbox_buffer_m`, `ssh_connect_timeout_s`,
+  `flights_api_base_url`, `flights_api_auth_token`); added
+  `build_cache: C12BuildCacheConfig` field to `C12Config`.
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c12_operator_tooling/cli.py` —
+  `build-cache` subcommand now accepts `--companion-host`,
+  `--companion-port`, `--satellite-provider-url`, `--api-key`;
+  constructs `BuildCacheRequest`; calls
+  `services.build_cache_orchestrator.build_cache(request)`; new
+  `_exit_code_for_report` helper translates `CacheBuildReport` →
+  exit code (handles success / idempotent_no_op / per-phase failure
+  with granular flight-resolve exit codes).
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c12_operator_tooling/__init__.py`
+  — re-exports all new AZ-328 types (eager — none of them pull heavy
+  deps; PEP 562 lazy machinery still in place for `paramiko` /
+  `httpx` adapters).
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/runtime_root/c12_factory.py` — extended
+  `OperatorToolServices` with `build_cache_orchestrator: BuildCacheOrchestrator | None`;
+  added `build_build_cache_orchestrator(...)` factory that wires the
+  `FilelockFileLockFactory`, `RemoteCacheProvisionerInvoker`, shared
+  `ParamikoSshSessionFactory`, and translates the C11
+  `TileDownloader` (passed in by the C11 composition root) to the
+  C12-local `TileDownloaderCut` Protocol.
+
+### Production source (formatting-only — adjacent hygiene)
+
+These files were re-formatted by `ruff format` when the formatter ran
+over the c12 directory. No behaviour change; pure whitespace /
+line-wrapping normalisation:
+
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c12_operator_tooling/flights_api/_parser.py`
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c12_operator_tooling/flights_api/bbox.py`
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c12_operator_tooling/flights_api/file_loader.py`
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c12_operator_tooling/flights_api/httpx_client.py`
+- `tests/unit/c12_operator_tooling/test_az489_flights_api_client.py`
+
+### Tests (new)
+
+- `tests/unit/c12_operator_tooling/test_build_cache_orchestrator.py` —
+  29 tests covering all 15 ACs + NFR-perf-overhead microbench.
+- `tests/unit/c12_operator_tooling/test_remote_c10_invoker.py` —
+  7 tests: happy-path JSON parsing, DEBUG-streamed progress lines,
+  api_key + auth_token redaction, malformed/truncated stdout error
+  handling.
+- `tests/unit/c12_operator_tooling/test_file_lock.py` — 3 tests:
+  acquire/release, concurrent-contention `LockTimeout`,
+  parent-directory creation.
+
+### Tests (modified)
+
+- `tests/unit/c12_operator_tooling/test_cli_build_cache.py` — rewritten
+  for the new CLI/orchestrator interface: tests now inject a
+  `_FakeOrchestrator` that captures `BuildCacheRequest` and returns
+  `CacheBuildReport`, asserting that the CLI assembles the request
+  correctly and that `_exit_code_for_report` emits the correct exit
+  code per outcome / `failure_phase` / `failure_exception_type`.
+
+## Task Results
+
+| Task | Status | Files Modified | Tests | AC Coverage | Issues |
+|------|--------|---------------|-------|-------------|--------|
+| AZ-328_c12_build_cache_orchestrator | Done | 4 prod-new + 6 prod-modified + 3 tests-new + 1 test-modified | 116 c12 unit tests pass (29 new) | 15/15 ACs + NFR-perf-overhead | None |
+
+## AC Test Coverage: All covered
+
+Every acceptance criterion (AC-1 through AC-15) plus the
+NFR-perf-overhead microbench has a directly-validating test in
+`test_build_cache_orchestrator.py`. Verified by running the targeted
+suite and inspecting test names against the spec's "Unit Tests" table.
+
+## Code Review Verdict: PASS
+
+### Findings
+
+None of severity Low or higher.
+
+**Notes (informational)**:
+
+- `httpx_client.py` has a pre-existing `ruff I001` import-sort warning
+  unrelated to this batch. Not in scope; left for the file's owning
+  task to address.
+- Adjacent formatting-only changes to four `flights_api/*.py` files
+  and one `test_az489_*.py` file were a side-effect of running
+  `ruff format` over the c12 directory after the new files were
+  added. They normalise existing pre-formatter style and are safe to
+  ship.
+
+## Auto-Fix Attempts: 0
+
+## Stuck Agents: None
+
+## Test Suite
+
+- C12 unit tests: **116 passed, 0 failed** (was 73 before this batch
+  — added 39 new tests for AZ-328 + 4 net from CLI test rewrite).
+- Full repository unit suite: **1522 passed, 80 skipped** (all skips
+  are pre-existing environment gates: Docker / CUDA / Jetson /
+  TensorRT / actionlint).
+- One transient flake observed in
+  `test_az273_fdr_client_ringbuf::test_ac1_enqueue_never_blocks_and_returns_overrun_on_overflow`
+  on the first full-suite run (passed both standalone and on a
+  re-run with `-p no:randomly`). Unrelated to this batch (C13 / FDR
+  area). Not blocking.
+- `python -X importtime` cold-start: still <250 ms typical for
+  `operator-tool --help` — adding the orchestrator's pure-Python deps
+  (`filelock`, the new modules) did not regress NFR-perf-cold-start
+  (heavy adapters still PEP 562 lazy).
+
+## Next Batch
+
+The natural follow-on is **AZ-329 (C12 post-landing upload trigger)**
+or **AZ-330 (operator reloc service)**, both of which depend only on
+the now-shipped AZ-326 + AZ-327 services. Confirm with
+`_docs/02_tasks/_dependencies_table.md` at the start of Batch 44.

+   bbox derived in phase 0.
+3. **Verify-ready phase** — confirm the companion has the four
+   pre-flight artifacts ready (or this is a first-run with zero present).
+4. **Build phase** — open SSH and dispatch C10's build entry on the

+5. Aggregate sub-reports into :class:`CacheBuildReport`.
+6. Release the lock in ``finally``.

+(description.md § 7). C10's own lockfile lives on the companion under

+The flight resolve happens inside the orchestrator.
