Stacked on #426.
With this PR, the initial implementation of #179 is fully addressed, modulo follow-ups defined in #179 (comment).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Signed model inventories can now be shared across the grid and used for routing, including large inventories and model withdrawals.
    • Discovered model routes now support expiration deadlines, helping prevent expired models from receiving requests.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Expired candidates are excluded from routing while valid earlier routes are preserved when no new selection can be made.
    • Invalid or conflicting expiration values no longer result in misleading routing deadlines.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified supported expiration formats and routing behavior.

Walkthrough

The operator now selects, signs, and publishes discovered-model inventories over SWIM. Serving configuration carries inventory expiry deadlines, and gateway routing excludes expired candidates. The hub-site end-to-end test exercises inventory discovery, withdrawal, expiry, recovery, and inference.

Changes: Model inventory gossip and routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Inventory selection and serving deadlines
crates/operator/src/served_models.rs, crates/operator/src/resources/serving_config.rs
Discovered inventories receive revisions and are selected for gossip when eligible. Serving configuration parses RFC 3339 deadlines, rejects invalid values, and keeps the earliest deadline among duplicate candidates.
Signed SWIM publication and delivery
crates/operator/src/controller/grid_network.rs, crates/operator/src/swim_runtime.rs
The controller signs and queues inventory frames for eligible networks. Queue sends wait for capacity. Plaintext mode rejects encrypted packets when no key is configured.
Remote inventory assembly and candidate rendering
crates/operator/src/resources/routing_overlay.rs
Tests cover assembly of signed inventories, conversion to remote candidates, withdrawal by a newer empty inventory, and rendering based on expiry support.
Expiry-aware gateway routing
crates/gateway/Cargo.toml, crates/gateway/crates/ai-grid-filters/*, docs/architecture/consumer-config.md
Gateway routing evaluates candidate expiry during selection and pinned-target admission. Tests cover expiry boundaries, retained earlier routes, and static alternatives. Documentation describes RFC 3339 and legacy millisecond deadlines.
Model-discovery fixture and network access
tests/e2e/topologies/grid-hub-site/resources/model-discovery-fixture-*, tests/e2e/topologies/grid-hub-site/resources/vcr-network-policy.yaml
The fixture serves configured model inventories and forwards inference requests to the site backend. Kubernetes resources configure its deployment, service, and permitted network access.
Signed model-gossip end-to-end flow
.github/workflows/helm.yaml, scripts/e2e-hub-site.sh, tests/e2e/topologies/grid-hub-site/README.md
The hub-site test checks publication, withdrawal, polling failure, expiry, recovery, and inference. The workflow adds a pin-trust model-gossip run, and the README documents the focused test.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 8e97d

The change delivers signed model-inventory gossip with expiry-aware routing. Earlier correctness and test-script concerns appear fixed. Remaining items are a documentation field-name mismatch and a rare plaintext-packet prefix collision, so merge risk is low.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @crates/gateway/crates/ai-grid-filters/Cargo.toml:
- Line 39: Add time to the gateway workspace’s shared dependencies, then update
the time dependency in the ai-grid-filters manifest to use the workspace version
while retaining the crate-level parsing feature.

Review comments at @crates/gateway/crates/ai-grid-filters/src/descriptor.rs:
- Around line 237-240: Update Descriptor::is_expired_at to derive its skew
margin from the shared grid_signals::CANDIDATE_EXPIRY_SKEW_MARGIN_MS constant
instead of hard-coding 30 seconds. Convert the constant to the appropriate
time::Duration units and preserve the existing expiration comparison.

Review comments at @crates/gateway/crates/ai-grid-filters/src/route.rs:
- Around line 672-675: Update the route decision flow in on_request so an
existing earlier route is preserved when the request has no model header, rather
than clearing ctx.cluster and ctx.upstream on RouteDecision::Select. Continue
applying Grid selection when a model is present, and leave route_decision
behavior unchanged for other cases.

Review comments at @crates/gateway/crates/ai-grid-filters/src/snapshot.rs:
- Line 1229: Normalize `expires_at` and legacy `expires_at_ms` into one
canonical deadline during candidate validation, rejecting conflicting values.
Update `route_decision`, shedding, and candidate selection to use that deadline
consistently, while retaining the legacy serialized field if required for
compatibility.

Review comments at @crates/operator/src/resources/routing_overlay.rs:
- Around line 6509-6557: Update the discovery test around
render_routing_overlay_with_admission to render a second overlay with
CandidateExpirySupport::Unsupported and assert its candidates are empty, rather
than testing that behavior only through filter_for_gateway_candidate_expiry.
Clone remote and inventory for the first render so they remain available for the
unsupported render; keep the existing supported-render assertion.

Review comments at @docs/architecture/consumer-config.md:
- Around line 216-219: Clarify the deadline key and format for the
grid_site_route consumer in the candidate table and serving-config description.
Use the same field name in both places, identify the format operators should
provide, and, if the serving config includes both CandidateConfig fields, state
which one request selection checks.

Review comments at @scripts/e2e-hub-site.sh:
- Around line 159-161: Update the ARM architecture check in the
platform-defaulting block so it recognizes both arm64 and aarch64 when platform
is unset, preserving the linux/amd64 default for either host.
- Around line 1356-1358: Update the deadline calculation in the withdrawal
rejection check near `model_route_rejected` to subtract the gateway’s 30-second
safety boundary from `old_epoch` before calculating the remaining time. Keep the
existing rejection check and wait behavior unchanged so it must succeed before
expiry-based rejection can begin.
- Around line 2983-2986: Remove the unconditional assert_site_route call after
the mode branch; the else branch already invokes it, and the focused path should
replace the static routing assertions. Keep assert_ha and
assert_rotation_declared in their existing positions.
- Around line 1398-1406: Move the retained snapshot and expiry extraction in
this flow until after hub_operator_stopped succeeds, so the hub operator cannot
update the routing configuration during capture. Use capture_model_gossip_state
to capture the retained hub candidate, derive old_expiry from that candidate’s
expires_at, and compute old_epoch from the same value instead of the site
status.
- Around line 2449-2451: Update the site_route probe that checks
status.remoteProviderCount so it verifies a fresh update: record the count
before the hub upgrade and require it to increase afterward, or check that the
named hub-local provider appears after publication.

Review comments at @crates/operator/src/controller/grid_network.rs:
- Around line 1133-1135: Bound the inline call to publish_model_inventory_frames
with a finite timeout so stalled SWIM queue capacity cannot block subsequent
discovery rounds or expiry refreshes. Preserve the existing warning for
publication errors and log a timeout with the inventory provider when the
deadline expires.

Review comments at @scripts/e2e-hub-site.sh:
- Around line 1407-1413: In the flow after `assert_model_gossip` stops the hub
operator, update both the `jq` and `date` failure branches to call
`restore_hub_operator` before returning. Preserve each existing failure message
and ensure a restore failure does not prevent the return.

Minor · Stability & Availability · Quick win

Match the encrypted-frame version before rejecting plaintext packets.

A valid Foca header can begin with GRID; the serialized NodeId starts with generation, then the site-name length and bytes. Therefore, the four-byte prefix is not exclusive to encrypted frames. Check the encrypted version byte as well.
