fix(nvct): request task instances from SIS

[sbaum1994]

TL;DR

Send NVCT task launches through the SIS task action so NVCA creates task instances instead of treating them as function instances.

Additional Details

Why

NVCT used Action=RequestInstances. SIS translated that legacy action to RequestICMSInstances, leaving self-managed tasks queued with zero instances.

What changed

• Use RequestInstancesForTask for NVCT instance creation.
• Make the ICMS mock require the task action.
• Assert the action for container-based and Helm-based task launches.

Customer Release Notes

Self-managed container tasks now launch without manually editing their ICMS request.

Plan Summary

Not applicable.

Usage

No operator changes are required.

Notes

The full multi-cluster BDD scenario remains useful as release QA against a published NVCT image.

References

• Self-managed NVCT tasks use the function ICMS request action #1032

Related Pull Requests

• test(bdd): add Helm release deployment assertion #1033

Dependencies

None. No license review or NOTICE update is required.

For the Reviewer

Review the SIS action contract in IcmsStubService and its assertion in IcmsServiceTest.

For QA

• bazel --output_user_root=/tmp/nvcf-issue-1032-bazel build //src/control-plane-services/cloud-tasks/nvct-core:nvct_core //src/control-plane-services/cloud-tasks/nvct-core:nvct_core_test_fixtures --java_runtime_version=remotejdk_25 --tool_java_runtime_version=remotejdk_25
• bazel --output_user_root=/tmp/nvcf-issue-1032-bazel test //src/control-plane-services/cloud-tasks/nvct-core:tests --test_filter=IcmsServiceTest --java_runtime_version=remotejdk_25 --tool_java_runtime_version=remotejdk_25 --test_output=errors
• QA needed: Yes. Run the multi-cluster BDD task smoke against the published fix.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The ICMS createInstance endpoint now sends RequestInstancesForTask. WireMock configuration and scheduling tests now validate the updated action while preserving existing payload checks.

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update ICMS request action src/control-plane-services/cloud-tasks/nvct-core/src/main/java/com/nvidia/nvct/service/icms/IcmsStubService.java	createInstance now targets the RequestInstancesForTask action.
Align request validation src/control-plane-services/cloud-tasks/nvct-core/src/test/java/com/nvidia/nvct/service/icms/IcmsServiceTest.java, src/control-plane-services/cloud-tasks/nvct-core/src/test/java/com/nvidia/nvct/util/MockIcmsServer.java	Scheduling tests and the WireMock stub validate RequestInstancesForTask and retain the existing payload assertions.

Confirm the architecture or sequence documentation for this contract change.

This mapping changes the SIS request action used by NVCT. If the repository has an ICMS or NVCA architecture or sequence diagram, update it to show RequestInstancesForTask and the downstream task-instance translation. If no such diagram exists, confirm that no update is required.

As per coding guidelines, ask whether architecture or sequence diagrams need updating when runtime behavior, data flow, or component interactions change.
