Oleksandr Bezdieniezhnykh 9c13ab3bd0 [AZ-615] [AZ-617] Add Jetson e2e harness + tier2 marks
C7 inference (PytorchFp16Runtime / TensorRTRuntime / OnnxTrtEpRuntime)
is CUDA-only by design — `model.half().cuda()` is hard-wired with no
CPU fallback. The Colima/Tier-1 smoke harness can never exercise C3
matcher or C7 inference. Once AZ-614 fixes the tlog time-base mismatch
and the pipeline reaches those stages, Colima runs would hard-fail at
`.cuda()` instead of cleanly skipping.

This commit lays down the Jetson companion harness and wires the
existing `tier2` auto-skip:

  * tests/e2e/Dockerfile.jetson  — l4t-pytorch:r36.4.0-pth2.3-py3 base,
    same /opt layout as the Colima image so AC-4 AST scan + bind mounts
    work identically. Built ON the Jetson via run-tests-jetson.sh.
  * docker-compose.test.jetson.yml — mirrors docker-compose.test.yml
    but with `runtime: nvidia`, GPU device exposure, and
    GPS_DENIED_TIER=2 (turns OFF the tier2 auto-skip).
  * scripts/run-tests-jetson.sh — rsync → ssh build → ssh up,
    exit-code-from e2e-runner so the local exit code reflects the
    remote test verdict. No credentials in the repo; uses
    `ssh jetson-e2e` alias resolved via ~/.ssh/config.
  * _docs/03_implementation/jetson_harness_setup.md — one-time SSH
    key + alias + sshd hardening + GPU verification steps. Documents
    the smoke vs. Reality Gate split + the GPS_DENIED_TIER switch.

AZ-617 (mark heavy ACs with tier2): adds @pytest.mark.tier2 to AC-1,
AC-2, AC-3, AC-5, AC-6 in tests/e2e/replay/test_derkachi_1min.py.
Reuses the existing tier2 marker + auto-skip in tests/conftest.py
(scope revision documented as a comment on AZ-617). AC-4a/4b/AC-7/AC-9
stay unmarked — they don't touch CUDA.

Defers to follow-up Jira:

  * AZ-614 — Derkachi tlog synth time-base mismatch (unblocks tier2 ACs
    actually reaching the GPU stage on the Jetson)
  * AZ-616 — replace mock-sat with real ../satellite-provider service

Not run yet: the harness needs operator-side SSH setup to come online
before scripts/run-tests-jetson.sh can be executed end-to-end. Setup
steps documented in jetson_harness_setup.md.

# Jetson e2e Harness — Operator Setup
AZ-615 / AZ-602 cycle-2. Documents the one-time operator-side setup
that makes `scripts/run-tests-jetson.sh` work against a Jetson Orin Nano
reachable from the developer Mac over SSH.
## Why a separate Jetson harness exists
The Colima/Tier-1 smoke harness (`docker-compose.test.yml` +
`tests/e2e/Dockerfile`) verifies wiring, env config, fixture loading,
auto-sync, and JSONL schema — everything UP TO the GPU boundary. But
all three C7 inference strategies
(`pytorch_fp16_runtime.py`, `tensorrt_runtime.py`,
`onnx_trt_ep_runtime.py`) are CUDA-only by design (`model.half().cuda()`
on `pytorch_fp16_runtime.py:189`, no CPU fallback). The full Reality
Gate — including C3 matcher + C7 inference — therefore needs a
CUDA-capable host.
The Jetson harness runs the same test tree (`tests/e2e/`) on the Jetson
with `GPS_DENIED_TIER=2`, which turns OFF the auto-skip for
`@pytest.mark.tier2` tests (see `tests/conftest.py:31-44`).
## Hardware contract
Operator-confirmed environment (2026-05-17):
* Jetson Orin Nano dev kit
* JetPack 6.2.2+b24
* L4T R36.5.0 (Jan 2026)
* nvidia-container-toolkit 1.16.2
* ≥ 30 GB free on `/var/lib/docker` (l4t-pytorch base image ~7 GB +
build cache + fixture volumes)
* Swap enabled (Orin Nano has 8 GB RAM; PyTorch + TensorRT loads spike)
## One-time setup
### 1. SSH key + alias (on the Mac)
```bash
# Generate a dedicated keypair (separate from your daily-dev key)
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 100 -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_jetson_e2e \
-C "jetson-e2e $(date +%Y-%m-%d)"
# Push the public half to the Jetson (asks for the Jetson password once)
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_jetson_e2e.pub <jetson-user>@<jetson-ip>
# Verify the Jetson's host key (run this ON the Jetson, via HDMI/serial,
# not over the LAN you're about to trust):
# ssh-keygen -lf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub
# Then compare against what the Mac sees on first connect. Accept only
# if they match.
# Wire up ~/.ssh/config (gitignored, never committed)
cat >> ~/.ssh/config <<'EOF'
Host jetson-e2e
HostName <jetson-ip>
User <jetson-user>
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_jetson_e2e
IdentitiesOnly yes
AddKeysToAgent yes
UseKeychain yes
StrictHostKeyChecking yes
ServerAliveInterval 30
ServerAliveCountMax 4
EOF
# Cache the passphrase into macOS Keychain (one-time)
ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_jetson_e2e
```
### 2. Restrict the key's scope on the Jetson (recommended)
Edit `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` on the Jetson and prefix the line that the
`ssh-copy-id` step appended:
```
from="<mac-lan-ip>",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding ssh-ed25519 AAAA… jetson-e2e
```
Optionally lock to "only run the e2e driver" by adding
`command="docker compose -f /home/jetson/gps-denied-onboard/docker-compose.test.jetson.yml up --abort-on-container-exit"`
the key can't get a general shell, only invoke that one command.
### 3. Harden sshd (optional, recommended for an exposed test rig)
On the Jetson, create `/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/10-e2e.conf`:
```
PasswordAuthentication no
PermitRootLogin no
PubkeyAuthentication yes
```
Then `sudo systemctl reload ssh`.
### 4. Verify the Jetson Docker + GPU pipeline
```bash
ssh jetson-e2e 'docker run --rm --runtime=nvidia --gpus all \
nvcr.io/nvidia/l4t-base:r36.4.0 nvidia-smi'
```
Expected output: a `nvidia-smi`-style table listing the Orin GPU. If
this fails with "runtime not found" or "no GPU devices", install
`nvidia-container-toolkit` and `sudo systemctl restart docker`.
### 5. Confirm disk + swap
```bash
ssh jetson-e2e 'df -h /var/lib/docker && swapon --show && free -h'
```
Need ≥ 30 GB free on `/var/lib/docker`. Swap should be at least 4 GB
(JetPack default is 4 GB zram).
## Running the harness
From the developer Mac, repo root:
```bash
bash scripts/run-tests-jetson.sh
```
What happens:
1. `rsync` source → `jetson-e2e:~/gps-denied-onboard/` (excludes `.git`,
`__pycache__`, build artefacts; LFS pointers transfer as text).
2. `ssh jetson-e2e docker compose -f docker-compose.test.jetson.yml build e2e-runner`
3. `ssh jetson-e2e docker compose ... up --abort-on-container-exit --exit-code-from e2e-runner`
4. stdout / stderr stream to the Mac terminal; exit code propagates.
Override the alias or remote dir if your setup differs:
```bash
JETSON_SSH_ALIAS=other-host JETSON_REMOTE_DIR=~/somewhere/else \
bash scripts/run-tests-jetson.sh
```
## Smoke vs. Reality Gate split — at a glance
| Test category | Marker | Colima (Tier-1) | Jetson (Tier-2) |
|---------------|--------|-----------------|-----------------|
| AC-4a AST scan | (none) | runs | runs |
| AC-4b byte-equality | (none) | runs | runs |
| AC-7 skip-gate self-check | (none) | runs | runs |
| AC-9 helper unit tests | (none) | runs | runs |
| AC-1 / AC-2 / AC-3 / AC-5 / AC-6 (heavy) | `tier2` | **SKIPPED** | runs |
| AC-8 operator workflow | `skip` (AZ-616 blocks) | skipped | skipped |
`GPS_DENIED_TIER` env var controls the auto-skip:
* `GPS_DENIED_TIER=1` (Colima default) → `tier2` / `gpu` / `docker`
marked tests auto-skipped via `tests/conftest.py:31-44`.
* `GPS_DENIED_TIER=2` (Jetson default) → all markers active; everything
runs (subject to other skip gates like `RUN_REPLAY_E2E`).
## Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---------|--------------|-----|
| `cannot reach 'ssh jetson-e2e' non-interactively` | Agent isn't unlocked or key not in `authorized_keys` | `ssh-add -l` on Mac; check `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` on Jetson |
| `docker: Error response from daemon: could not select device driver "nvidia"` | nvidia-container-toolkit missing or daemon not restarted after install | `sudo apt install nvidia-container-toolkit && sudo systemctl restart docker` |
| `torch.cuda.is_available() == False` inside the container | `runtime: nvidia` block missing, or building on x86 host | Verify `docker-compose.test.jetson.yml` has `runtime: nvidia`; rebuild on the Jetson |
| `replay.auto_sync.ac8_validation_failed` | AZ-614 (tlog time-base mismatch) — not a harness bug | Fix AZ-614 in `tests/e2e/replay/_tlog_synth.py` |
| `pull access denied for nvcr.io/nvidia/l4t-pytorch` | NGC requires login for some tags | `docker login nvcr.io` (use NGC API key from developer.nvidia.com) |
