Summary

N1x platform detection no longer requires a specific GPU PCI device ID.
Hosts whose GPU reports 10de:2e03 can enter the existing Deferred preview while the remaining identity and preview controls stay enforced.

Related Issue

Fixes #10076

Changes

  • Remove the exact 2e2a device-ID requirement from the TypeScript and installer N1x detectors.
  • Cover the reported 2e03 device and preserve negative coverage for non-NVIDIA vendors and non-display PCI classes.
  • Update the owning public documentation to describe the remaining vendor and display-class requirement.

Type of Change

  • Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
  • Code change with doc updates
  • Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
  • Doc only (includes code sample changes)

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
  • Tests not applicable — justification:
  • Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight, onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
  • Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification: Contributor review confirmed that the trusted marker, Linux Arm64, NVIDIA vendor, display class, bounded sysfs scan, fail-closed reads, available GPU, and explicit Deferred preview gates remain in place. Refer to the accepted scope.
  • Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

DGX Station Hardware Evidence

  • Tested on DGX Station
  • Tested commit: Not applicable; scripts/prepare-dgx-station-host.sh is unchanged.
  • Station profile/scenario: Not applicable.
  • Result: Not applicable.
  • Supporting evidence: Not applicable.

Verification

  • PR description includes a Signed-off-by: line and every commit appears as Verified in GitHub
  • Normal pre-commit, commit-msg, and pre-push hooks passed, or npm run validate:pr passed after refreshing origin/main when hooks were skipped or unavailable
  • Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests are marked not applicable above — command/result or justification: npx vitest run --project cli --project integration src/lib/inference/platform-identity/n1x.test.ts src/lib/readiness/platform-qualification.test.ts test/install-express-n1x.test.ts passed 101 tests in three files.
  • Applicable broad gate passed — npm test for broad runtime/test-harness changes; npm run check for repo-wide validation/coverage changes — command/result: Not applicable; this is a focused identity-detector change.
  • Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or waivers
  • No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
  • npm run docs builds without warnings (doc changes only). The command passed with zero errors and two unrelated Fern warnings: unauthenticated redirect validation and the existing light-mode accent contrast.
  • Doc pages follow the style guide (doc changes only)
  • New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

N1x PCI detection now accepts NVIDIA display-class devices by vendor ID and PCI class. Installer logic, platform identity checks, tests, and documentation no longer require device ID 0x2e2a.

Changes

N1x PCI detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update PCI detection logic
src/lib/inference/platform-identity/n1x.ts, scripts/install.sh
N1x detection validates NVIDIA vendor and display-class values. PCI device IDs are no longer read or validated.
Validate unpinned GPU qualification
src/lib/inference/platform-identity/n1x.test.ts, src/lib/readiness/platform-qualification.test.ts, test/install/install-express-n1x.test.ts
Tests accept NVIDIA display devices without a fixed device ID and reject non-NVIDIA vendors or non-display classes.
Align platform requirements
ci/platform-matrix.json, docs/get-started/*, docs/inference/set-up-vllm.mdx, docs/reference/*
Platform requirements and N1x detection documentation use NVIDIA vendor and display-class matching.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 75c79

This change broadens N1x GPU acceptance, but the positive installer test can pass without proving detection works, and the target 10de:2e03 hardware has not received the required physical validation. Merge readiness is moderate until the assertion and validation gap are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Reviewed the complete change through latest PR commit 37f493d6929c20b9cc2ef5de8b689ca99bd0358e. I found no remaining code or security defect. The accepted boundary remains fail-closed: trusted root-owned non-symlink FastOS marker, Linux Arm64, NVIDIA vendor, display-class PCI identity, bounded reads, available NVIDIA GPU, and explicit Deferred managed-vLLM intent.

I pushed 37f493d to remove the obsolete PCI device-ID inputs from all three success fixtures. The focused command passed 101 tests in three files. CodeRabbit reports no actionable findings, the exact-commit Advisor reports no findings, both commits are signed off and GitHub Verified, and the only review thread is resolved.

I am not approving yet. Checks for 37f493d are still pending. The accepted issue decision also requires physical 10de:2e03 evidence that this commit detects N1x and passes platform identity before the changed documentation can make the broader operational claim. These are pending gates, not defects, so I am not requesting changes.

Reviewed the complete change at commit 366a2aaeed4126b0541ebcdcd902892dee2c3922. I found no code or security defect. The new test proves that an untrusted FastOS marker creates an N1x candidate but still produces host.platform.n1x_unqualified; it does not allow generic platform admission. The complete change preserves the trusted root-owned non-symlink marker, exact FastOS name, Linux Arm64, NVIDIA vendor, display-class PCI identity, bounded reads, available NVIDIA GPU, and explicit Deferred managed-vLLM intent.

The prior CodeRabbit finding is fixed and its only thread is resolved. CodeRabbit reports success for this commit. All three PR commits have Signed-off-by trailers and GitHub reports them Verified. Local focused validation could not start because this isolated worktree has no installed vitest dependency; CI installer integration passes, while other checks remain in progress. The available Advisor comment applies to 37f493d, not this commit; exact-commit Advisor jobs are still running.

I am not approving. Issue #10076 requires physical 10de:2e03 evidence that the installer detects N1x and onboarding passes platform identity before the broader operational claim can be published. That evidence is not present. Exact-commit checks are also pending. These are pending evidence gates, not defects, so I am not requesting changes.

The current PR revision is code-clean, but it is not ready to merge.

Validated locally:

  • the focused readiness suite passes all 67 tests;
  • the new fixture confirms an untrusted FastOS marker remains unqualified;
  • the current Advisor review reports no findings;
  • DCO passes and all three commits are Verified on GitHub;
  • documentation and security review remain clear.

The remaining blocker is the physical evidence required by the accepted decision in #10076. Before these documentation changes can publish broader N1x support, provide reviewable evidence from an N1x/RTX Spark unit reporting PCI identity 10de:2e03. The evidence must identify the current PR revision, show that the installer detects N1x, show that onboarding passes platform identity, and include a supporting log or artifact link.

No code change or repository-gate bypass can replace that hardware evidence.

Reviewed latest PR commit ed2835d06cbb9bcc06b165a98e33bec5ba659006 against the accepted scope in #10076.

The TypeScript and installer detectors remove only the GPU device-ID equality. They preserve the trusted root-owned FastOS marker, Linux Arm64 admission, NVIDIA vendor, display class, bounded reads, fail-closed incomplete evidence, available GPU, and explicit Deferred preview intent. I found no code, test, documentation, or security defect in the complete diff.

Local verification passed 101 tests:

./node_modules/.bin/vitest run --project cli --project integration src/lib/inference/platform-identity/n1x.test.ts src/lib/readiness/platform-qualification.test.ts test/install-express-n1x.test.ts

I am submitting a comment review instead of approval. The accepted validation plan still requires physical 10de:2e03 N1x evidence tied to this commit that shows installer detection and successful platform-identity admission.

Reviewed the complete change at commit d9c688c09fa88c983a3f37f6527673a8060c71b5. I found no concrete code, test, documentation, writing, or security defect. The detector preserves the accepted trusted FastOS marker, Linux Arm64, NVIDIA vendor, display-class PCI identity, bounded reads, fail-closed evidence, available NVIDIA GPU, and explicit Deferred preview intent.

The prior CodeRabbit finding is fixed, and its only thread is resolved. CodeRabbit reports success. DCO passes. All six PR commits are GitHub Verified; the three non-merge commits include Signed-off-by trailers. The focused tests pass in exact-commit CI, although this isolated worktree cannot run them because dependencies are not installed.

I am submitting a neutral review. Issue #10076 requires reviewable physical evidence from an N1x unit reporting 10de:2e03, tied to this commit, before the broader operational claims can be approved. The evidence must show installer detection and successful onboarding platform identity, with a supporting log or artifact link. The PR discussion does not contain that evidence. This accepted publication gate is not a repository defect, so I am not requesting changes.
