Summary

Implement Python SDK WatchLogs feature for loss-aware, resumable streaming of sandbox logs and platform events with cursor-based replay. Follows Go SDK pattern from NVIDIA#3662

Related Issue

Closes NVIDIA#3209 (Python SDK WatchLogs, item D)

Changes

Changes

• Added OutOfRangeError exception for unrecoverable cursor loss (trimmed cursor). Updated from_grpc_error() to route OUT_OF_RANGE status to new exception type.
• sandbox.py:
  • Added domain types: PlatformEvent, WatchLogKind enum, WatchLogEvent, WatchLogsOptions
  • Added converters: _timestamp_from_proto(), _platform_event_from_proto(), _watch_log_event_from_proto() with deep-copy semantics for metadata
  • Added watch_logs() async method to SandboxClient with:
    • High-water mark cursor tracking (handles independent log/event source delivery)
    • Selective reconnect logic (OUT_OF_RANGE terminates, UNAVAILABLE retries with exponential backoff 100ms→2s)
    • Skips non-resumable payloads (status snapshots, policy updates)
• Added 6 test cases covering converter behavior, event type handling, metadata aliasing, and timestamp conversion.

Testing

• mise run pre-commit passes
• Unit tests added/updated
• E2E tests added/updated (if applicable)

Checklist

• Follows Conventional Commits
• Commits are signed off (DCO)
• Architecture docs updated (if applicable)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added streaming of sandbox logs and platform events, with options to follow either or both streams, filter logs by source and minimum level, and choose how many recent entries to receive.
  • Streams can resume from a cursor and reconnect automatically after temporary service interruptions. Updates include timestamps and relevant log or event details, with warnings shown alongside them.
• Bug Fixes
  • Added a specific error when a requested resume cursor is no longer available.

📝 Walkthrough

Adds typed log and platform-event stream items and an asynchronous sandbox watch method. The method supports filters, cursor-based resumption, and retries for UNAVAILABLE errors. gRPC error mapping now handles OUT_OF_RANGE separately.

Changes: Sandbox log and event streams

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Stream item models and conversion python/openshell/sandbox.py, python/openshell/sandbox_test.py	Adds log and platform-event models, stream item kinds, watch options, and protobuf conversion. Tests cover stream item conversion, metadata copying, timestamps, and clean stream completion.
gRPC error mapping python/openshell/errors.py	from_grpc_error preserves existing GatewayError instances, maps OUT_OF_RANGE RPC errors to OutOfRangeError, and wraps other RPC errors in GatewayError.
Asynchronous watch and reconnection python/openshell/sandbox.py	Adds SandboxClient.watch_logs. It resolves the sandbox, applies stream options and the resume cursor, advances the cursor only when a delivered cursor compares greater, retries UNAVAILABLE with exponential backoff, and cleans up the stream and executor.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d51c2

Stopping a log watch early can leave its connection open until the iterator is closed or finalized. The change is mergeable with owner awareness and explicit iterator closure where early exit is expected.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to d51c2

The new stream preserves workspace-scoped read access and the existing server contract. The remaining risk concerns cancellation and recovery behavior, rather than a demonstrated authorization bypass or privilege increase.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The added reachability is an SDK read path for a selected sandbox within an authorized workspace. Caller-supplied names, cursors, and filters do not replace server-side authorization or enable all-workspace selection through this method.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The watcher reuses the client's existing transport and bearer-authentication channel. WatchSandbox declares sandbox:read access; its handler checks workspace membership and minimum role, subject to the existing platform-admin exception, and binds sandbox principals to their authenticated immutable sandbox ID.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Startup cancellation has incomplete explicit ownership: cancellation before the stream is assigned cannot invoke that stream's cancel method, and non-waiting executor shutdown does not stop running work. Lookup is timeout-bounded and closing the client releases its channel. The lifetime of an abandoned acquired stream remains unverified, so this is a containment uncertainty rather than a confirmed sustained leak.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Make cancellation ownership explicit during lookup and stream acquisition, and document deterministic generator closure for consumers that stop early. Validate startup cancellation, active-read cancellation, and reconnect interruption against worker and stream cleanup guarantees.

Add a test that iterates watch_logs. Make the converter tests synchronous.

None of the new tests call SandboxClient.watch_logs. A test with a fake WatchSandbox stream would catch the async for failure. It should cover these cases:

• one item
• UNAVAILABLE followed by a resume with the high-water cursor
• OUT_OF_RANGE

The converter tests do not await anything. @pytest.mark.asyncio only adds a dependency on the pytest-asyncio plugin. Remove it and use plain def functions.

3017-3018: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Exercise watch_logs in the tests.

pytest-asyncio is already configured, so the async markers do not need removal. However, these tests call _watch_log_event_from_proto directly and do not execute watch_logs. Request construction and stream handling at sandbox.py:1466 and sandbox.py:1500 can therefore remain untested. Add an async test that uses a fake stream and asserts the request and yielded events.

Test UNAVAILABLE reconnection and cursor resume.

watch_logs catches a mapped UNAVAILABLE error, then reconnects using the current cursor. The clean-completion test does not exercise this path, and the other current watch_logs tests do not cover it. Add a test where a mapped UNAVAILABLE error is followed by an event, and assert that watch_logs reconnects and resumes from the cursor.
