Subject: [PATCH 02/10] Fix: Correct quoting and array usage in GPU scripts

This commit addresses widespread issues in the GPU initialization scripts related to variable quoting and bash array expansion.

-   Consistently uses `"${array[@]}"` for expanding arrays like `curl_retry_args`, `gsutil_cmd`, and `gsutil_stat_cmd`.
-   Ensures variables are properly double-quoted (e.g., `"${var}"`).
-   Corrects quoting within `eval` statements.
-   Restores and corrects the logic for conditionally defining `gsutil_cmd` and `gsutil_stat_cmd` based on `gcloud --version`, using array syntax throughout.
-   Redirects `gsutil stat` output to `/dev/null` in `cache_fetched_package` to suppress noise.
-   Fixes an issue in `install_gpu_agent` where an empty `METADATA_HTTP_PROXY_PEM_URI` would cause pip to fail.

These changes enhance the robustness and correctness of the scripts, particularly in environments with spaces in paths or arguments.

Subject: [PATCH 03/10] feat(gpu): Update CUDA and Driver version maps to
 support CUDA 12.8-13.1

This change updates the version mapping arrays in the GPU installation script to include support for NVIDIA CUDA versions 12.8, 12.9, 13.0, and 13.1, along with their corresponding driver, cuDNN, and NCCL versions.

- Added entries for CUDA 12.8, 12.9, 13.0, and 13.1 to `DRIVER_FOR_CUDA`, `DRIVER_SUBVER`, `CUDNN_FOR_CUDA`, `NCCL_FOR_CUDA`, and `CUDA_SUBVER` arrays.
- Updated `DEFAULT_CUDA_VERSION` for Dataproc images 2.2 and 2.3 to default to 13.1.1.
- Added corresponding CUDA full version to driver version mappings in the `drv_for_cuda` array in `set_cuda_runfile_url` function.

Subject: [PATCH 04/10] feat(gpu): Improve metadata handling for GPU driver and
 CUDA versions

This change enhances the robustness of how `cuda-version` and `gpu-driver-version` metadata are processed in the GPU initialization scripts.

- In `set_cuda_version` and `set_driver_version` functions:
  - Metadata is now fetched without a default value initially.
  - The script checks if the metadata value is non-empty before using it.
  - If the metadata is empty or not provided, it falls back to the determined default version.
  - Added validation steps to ensure the final version string matches the expected format (at least `X.Y`).
  - Included DEBUG messages to log whether the version was sourced from metadata or the default.

Subject: [PATCH 05/10] feat(gpu): Enhance URL checks and add GCS caching for
 CUDA runfiles

This change improves the robustness of the GPU driver installation script by:

1.  Standardizing URL existence checks to use `curl --head` with retry arguments (`${curl_retry_args[@]}`) instead of `curl -sSLfI` for better consistency and error handling.
2.  Implementing GCS caching for the CUDA runfile in `set_cuda_runfile_url`. The script now checks a pre-defined GCS bucket (`${pkg_bucket}`) for an existing copy of the required CUDA `.run` file. If found, it downloads from the cache. Otherwise, it downloads from the official NVIDIA URL and uploads a copy to the GCS bucket for future use. This speeds up subsequent runs and reduces reliance on external network availability.
3.  The driver runfile caching logic in `set_driver_version` was already present but this change ensures the URL check uses the standard `${curl_retry_args[@]}`.

These changes make the script more resilient to transient network issues and more efficient in environments where the same files might be needed multiple times across different cluster builds.

Subject: [PATCH 06/10] gpu: stabilize conda execution, document testing, fix
 apt source quoting and lock retry

This commit bundles a series of critical fixes targeting the stability, testability, and reliability of the GPU driver installation and its integration suite on Dataproc.

* **Conda Execution:** Refactored Python integration test assertions (`test_gpu.py`, `verify_external_cluster.py`) and external Spark test scripts to locate Conda Python binaries dynamically using `find /opt/conda -maxdepth 6` rather than relying on `conda activate`. This resolves SSH parsing, quoting, and unbound variable issues (`$PS1`) that caused tests to fail when verifying PyTorch and TensorFlow installations.
* **CUDA 13 gcc-12 Dependency:** Fixed a fatal kernel module compilation crash on Dataproc 2.2 (`2.2-ubuntu22`). The `install_build_dependencies` logic was previously gating the required `gcc-12` package installation on an exact match of `is_cuda12`. With the recent update of Dataproc 2.2 to CUDA 13.1.1, this check failed, defaulting to `gcc-11` and crashing the `open-gpu-kernel-modules` compilation (`make -j32 modules`). Changed the check to use `ge_cuda12` (greater than or equal to 12).
* **APT Lock Retry Regex & Global Timeout:** Fixed a bug where the `execute_with_retries` bash wrapper silently failed to mitigate dpkg lock contention during `unattended-upgrades`. The bash regex (`[[ "$cmd" =~ "^apt-get install" ]]`) was incorrectly quoted, causing a literal string match failure. Fixed the regex to `^apt-get` and moved the `DPkg::Lock::Timeout="60";` configuration to a global file (`/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-dpkg-lock-timeout`) at the start of the script, ensuring *all* system `apt` invocations safely wait for locks during boot.
* **Apt Source Quoting:** Removed invalid inner double-quotes around the `deb-src` URL for the `nvidia-container-toolkit` repository inside `install_gpu_driver.sh`, preventing syntax errors during `apt-get update`.
* **Testing Infrastructure & Documentation:** Added `gpu/TESTING.md` to document the manual, fast-iterative testing loop. This covers provisioning bare clusters (`--no-init-action`), staging via an optimized `scp-m`, manual execution over SSH, and external validation via `spark-gpu-test.sh`. Added a comprehensive "Development and Testing" section to `gpu/README.md`.
* **Bazel Authentication:** Updated `run-bazel-tests.sh` to explicitly map ADC credentials (`GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`) through `--test_env` arguments. This is required for the Podman sandbox to bypass local GCE metadata service lookups and successfully authenticate `gsutil` for bucket creation during `setUpClass`.
* **Test Matrix Restoration:** Unskipped the core `NvidiaGpuDriverTestCase.test_install_gpu_cuda_nvidia` parameterized suite matrix (SINGLE, STANDARD, KERBEROS), removing the temporary `self.skipTest` used during debug isolation.
* **Recreate Script Sync:** Synced the fallback driver defaults in `recreate-dpgce` to align with the init script's upgrade to CUDA 13.1.1 for images 2.2 and 2.3.

+## Development and Testing
+
+If you are modifying this initialization action, you can use the provided test infrastructure to validate your changes locally before deploying them to production.
+
+### Local Integration Testing (Podman / Bazel)
+
+You can run the integration tests locally using Podman to simulate the CI environment. The tests use `absl.testing.parameterized` and the `integration_tests.dataproc_test_case` framework to spin up ephemeral Dataproc clusters and validate GPU functionality.
+
+1. Ensure you have your Google Cloud Application Default Credentials (ADC) saved locally, typically at `~/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json`, and copy it to `initialization-actions/key.json`.
+2. You must have a configured `env.json` in the `gpu/` directory.
+
+To run tests in a Podman container (automatically handling the Bazel build and sandbox):
+
+```bash
+cd initialization-actions
+# Test a specific Dataproc image version
+./gpu/run-bazel-tests-with-podman.sh 2.2-ubuntu22
+```
+
+To run a specific test filter using Bazel manually inside the container:
+
+```bash
+podman build -t init-actions-test:latest -f cloudbuild/Dockerfile .
+podman run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/init-actions -w /init-actions \
+  -e INTERNAL_IP_SSH=true \
+  init-actions-test:latest \
+  bash -c "bazel test --jobs=1 --local_test_jobs=1 --test_output=errors --noshow_progress --noshow_loading_progress \
+    --test_arg=--image_version=2.2-debian12 \
+    --test_filter=NvidiaGpuDriverTestCase.test_gpu_allocation \
+    //gpu:test_gpu"
+```
+
+### Manual Verification Scripts
+
+If you have already provisioned a Dataproc cluster (e.g., `my-cluster`) and want to verify its GPU configuration without running the full Bazel test suite, you can use the standalone verification scripts.
+
+```bash
+# Verify using the local Python script
+python3 gpu/verify_external_cluster.py \
+  --cluster=my-cluster \
+  --region=us-east4 \
+  --zone=us-east4-b \
+  --project=my-project \
+  --tests smi agent spark torch tf numa
+
+# Or using the bash equivalent
+export CLUSTER_NAME=my-cluster PROJECT_ID=my-project REGION=us-east4 ZONE=us-east4-b
+./gpu/verify_external_gpu_cluster.sh
+```
+
+### Advanced Spark / ML Validation
+
+For comprehensive validation of Spark RAPIDS, PyTorch, and TensorFlow on a running cluster, an external testing script is available in the associated `cloud-dataproc/gcloud` repository.
+
+```bash
+# Configure the gcloud test environment
+cd ../cloud-dataproc/gcloud
+source lib/env.sh  # Populates environment variables from env.json
+
+# Execute the comprehensive Spark GPU test suite against the configured cluster
+./t/spark-gpu-test.sh
+```
+
+This script will remotely execute SSH commands to validate NUMA configurations, run PyTorch/TensorFlow isolated in their Conda environments, verify NVCC/cuDNN, and submit `SparkPi` and `JavaIndexToStringExample` Spark jobs configured to use the RAPIDS accelerator plugin.
+

+# Testing the GPU Initialization Script
+
+This document details the recommended iterative development and testing process for the `install_gpu_driver.sh` script, bypassing the slow integration runner when developing and ensuring comprehensive testing when complete.
+
+## Fast Iterative Development (SSH/Manual)
+
+When making structural or execution logic changes, you want to avoid destroying and recreating the entire Dataproc cluster during each test cycle.
+
+### 1. Provision a "Bare" GPU Cluster
+Use the `--no-init-action` flag on the recreation script to provision a cluster with GPUs attached, but without running any initialization actions during boot.
+
+```bash
+cd cloud-dataproc/gcloud
+./bin/recreate-dpgce --gpu --no-init-action
+```
+
+### 2. Stage and Transfer the Script
+Use the optimized `scp-m` command to transfer your local changes to the master node. This script stages the file in the GCS temp bucket and pulls it down to `/tmp/install_gpu_driver.sh` over SSH.
+
+```bash
+cd cloud-dataproc/gcloud
+./bin/scp-m ../../initialization-actions/gpu/install_gpu_driver.sh
+```
+
+### 3. Execute and Monitor
+Execute the script manually over SSH as root. Pumping the output through `tee` captures the logs identically to how Dataproc normally records initialization scripts.
+
+```bash
+cd cloud-dataproc/gcloud
+./bin/ssh-m 'sudo bash -x /tmp/install_gpu_driver.sh 2>&1 | tee /tmp/install_gpu_driver.log'
+```
+
+### 4. Verify with the Test Suite
+Once the installation script completes without errors, run the external testing suite to ensure all Conda environments (PyTorch, TensorFlow, RAPIDS) and Spark services correctly bind to the GPU.
+
+```bash
+cd cloud-dataproc/gcloud
+bash t/spark-gpu-test.sh
+```
+
+## Continuous Integration Testing (Bazel/Podman)
+
+Once the manual tests pass, verify the script behaves correctly within the isolated Python `absl` test harness running inside Podman.
+
+```bash
+cd initialization-actions
+./gpu/run-bazel-tests-with-podman.sh "2.2-debian12"
+```
+
+**Note:** Ensure your `key.json` (ADC credentials) and `--test_env` mappings are properly configured so the sandbox can authenticate against GCP APIs.

This commit resolves a compilation crash on Rocky Linux 9, re-enables the Rocky test matrix, and introduces a Go-based AST parser for managing script fragments.

* **NCCL Compilation Fix:** Resolved a fatal `nvcc fatal : Unsupported gpu architecture 'compute_70'` error during the Rocky 9 `nccl` compilation phase (`make pkg.redhat.build`). CUDA 13+ drops support for the Volta architecture (`compute_70` and `compute_72`). Updated the `NVCC_GENCODE` matrix in `install_nvidia_nccl` to dynamically exclude these legacy architectures when `CUDA_VERSION` >= 13.0. Explicitly added `compute_75` to ensure Turing (T4) support is baked into the custom RPM/DEB packages. Added `|| true` to the `make clean` step to prevent the script from aborting if optional documentation dependencies are missing from the build environment.
* **Test Matrix Restoration:** Un-skipped the Rocky Linux OS family (`self.getImageOs() == 'rocky'`) across all `absl` parameterized test suites in `test_gpu.py`. The base images have been updated to support CUDA 13, and the script now correctly compiles drivers and dependencies on them.
* **Script Fragmentation Tooling:** Added `gpu/split.go`, a Go-based AST parser (`mvdan.cc/sh/v3/syntax`) designed to reliably chunk the massive `install_gpu_driver.sh` script back into discrete `.d/` fragment files.
* **Testing Documentation:** Appended compilation and execution instructions for the `split_ast` tool into `gpu/TESTING.md`, allowing developers to re-split the main script if it is accidentally modified directly. Also updated the manual testing workflow to instruct developers to clear completion sentinels (`/opt/install-dpgce/complete`, `/opt/install-dpgce/nccl`) when re-running the script on a dirty node.

 ## Fast Iterative Development (SSH/Manual)
 
-When making structural or execution logic changes, you want to avoid destroying and recreating the entire Dataproc cluster during each test cycle.
+This initialization action is designed to be **idempotent**, meaning it can be run multiple times on the same node without breaking the environment. It achieves this by writing "completion sentinels" to `/opt/install-dpgce/complete/` after successfully finishing each phase (e.g., `build-dependencies`, `nccl`, `cuda`).
+
+To facilitate rapid iteration, we use the tooling provided in the companion `cloud-dataproc/gcloud` repository. This repo contains the test infrastructure, environment configuration (`env.json`), and lifecycle management scripts (`recreate-dpgce`, `ssh-m`, `scp-m`) necessary to provision and interact with test clusters efficiently.
+
+When making structural or execution logic changes, you want to avoid destroying and recreating the entire Dataproc cluster during each test cycle. Instead, follow this incremental workflow:
 
 ### 1. Provision a "Bare" GPU Cluster
-Use the `--no-init-action` flag on the recreation script to provision a cluster with GPUs attached, but without running any initialization actions during boot.
+First, configure your target OS and versions in `cloud-dataproc/gcloud/env.json`. Then, use the `--no-init-action` flag on the recreation script to provision a cluster with GPUs attached, but *without* running any initialization actions during boot.
 
 ```bash
 cd cloud-dataproc/gcloud
 ./bin/recreate-dpgce --gpu --no-init-action
 ```
 
-### 2. Stage and Transfer the Script
-Use the optimized `scp-m` command to transfer your local changes to the master node. This script stages the file in the GCS temp bucket and pulls it down to `/tmp/install_gpu_driver.sh` over SSH.
+### 2. Compile and Stage the Script
+The `install_gpu_driver.sh` script is built from fragments. First, compile the fragments, then use the optimized `scp-m` command to transfer your local changes to the -m node. This script stages the file in the GCS temp bucket and pulls it down to `/tmp/install_gpu_driver.sh` over SSH.
 
 ```bash
-cd cloud-dataproc/gcloud
+cd initialization-actions
+cat gpu/install_gpu_driver.sh.d/*.sh > gpu/install_gpu_driver.sh
+cd ../cloud-dataproc/gcloud
 ./bin/scp-m ../../initialization-actions/gpu/install_gpu_driver.sh
 ```
 
-### 3. Execute and Monitor
+### 3. Execute and Monitor (Incremental Testing)
 Execute the script manually over SSH as root. Pumping the output through `tee` captures the logs identically to how Dataproc normally records initialization scripts.
 
+**Crucially, when re-running the script to test a specific fix, you must purge the relevant completion sentinels** (and partial build directories like `nccl`) so the script doesn't skip the phase you are trying to test.
+
+*   To run the *entire* script from scratch: `sudo rm -rf /opt/install-dpgce/complete`
+*   To re-test only the NCCL build: `sudo rm -f /opt/install-dpgce/complete/nccl && sudo rm -rf /opt/install-dpgce/nccl`
+
 ```bash
 cd cloud-dataproc/gcloud
-./bin/ssh-m 'sudo bash -x /tmp/install_gpu_driver.sh 2>&1 | tee /tmp/install_gpu_driver.log'
+./bin/ssh-m 'sudo rm -rf /opt/install-dpgce/complete' # Example: clear everything
+cd ../../initialization-actions
+./gpu/install-in-screen.sh
 ```
 
+If your SSH connection drops, simply run `./gpu/install-in-screen.sh` again to instantly re-attach to the running session without losing context or interrupting the installation.
+
 ### 4. Verify with the Test Suite
 Once the installation script completes without errors, run the external testing suite to ensure all Conda environments (PyTorch, TensorFlow, RAPIDS) and Spark services correctly bind to the GPU.

 **Note:** Ensure your `key.json` (ADC credentials) and `--test_env` mappings are properly configured so the sandbox can authenticate against GCP APIs.
+
+## Compiling the AST Splitter Tool (`split.go`)
+
+If you need to re-split `install_gpu_driver.sh` into its `.d/` fragments (e.g. if the main script was modified instead of the fragments), we use a Go-based AST parsing tool (`split.go`) to accurately chunk the bash script.
+
+To compile the tool locally:
+
+```bash
+cd initialization-actions/gpu
+go mod init split
+go get mvdan.cc/sh/v3/syntax
+go build -o split_ast split.go
+```
+
+Once compiled, executing `./split_ast install_gpu_driver.sh` will parse the script and populate the `install_gpu_driver.sh.d/` directory with the chunked components.

Subject: [PATCH 08/10] gpu: upgrade CUDA 12.4+ drivers, fix DNF locking and
 deadlocks

* **Driver Version Bump**: Upgraded the default NVIDIA driver for CUDA 12.4, 12.5, 12.6, and 12.8 to `590.48.01`. This resolves kernel module compilation failures (e.g., `struct drm_driver has no member named date`) on the new Rocky 9.5 kernel (`5.14.0-611.55.1.el9_7.x86_64`).
* **DNF Cache on tmpfs**: Explicitly create target directories (`/var/cache/apt/archives` and `/var/cache/dnf`) before mounting RAM disks to avoid failures. Wrapped `dnf clean all` with `execute_with_retries` to mitigate TOCTOU lock contention issues.
* **GCS `.building` Deadlock Fix**:
  - Explicitly remove the GCS `.building` lock file in `create_conda_env` if the legacy Conda dependency solver times out. Previously, returning early left orphaned locks, causing subsequent nodes to hang sequentially for 60 minutes each (resulting in 3-hour timeouts on legacy Dataproc <= 2.0 clusters).
  - Restrict the `.building` wait loop to nodes with fewer than 16 cores. Large nodes will now build their environments concurrently to avoid waiting.
* **Nproc Comparison Fixes**: Corrected string comparisons for `nproc` across multiple fragments (changed `[[ "$(nproc)" < 32 ]]` to `(( $(nproc) < 32 ))`) to ensure node scale jitter sleeps trigger accurately.
* **PIPESTATUS Safety**: Added explicit `set +e` and `set -e` blocks around `eval` in `execute_with_retries` so that capturing `PIPESTATUS` does not instantly preempt the retry logic and kill the script.
* **Test Runner Improvements**:
  - Fixed argument forwarding (`"$@"`) in local Bazel test wrappers (`run-bazel-tests.sh` and the new `run-bazel-tests-with-podman.sh`) so that `--test_filter` arguments successfully reach the test runner.
  - Updated `README.md` and `TESTING.md` with instructions and warnings about resource consumption for local integration testing.
  - Temporarily skipped several tests in `test_gpu.py` while probing for success.

Subject: [PATCH 10/10] feat(gpu): implement cuDNN tarball installation
 fallback and optimize integration tests

Introduce a standalone cuDNN tarball installation fallback mechanism to address and bypass NVIDIA repository CDN flakiness, particularly in Rocky Linux 2.0 and 2.1 environments. Optimize resource usage and restore standard configurations in the integration test suite.

Detailed changes:
- **cuDNN Tarball Fallback:** Refactored `install_nvidia_cudnn` in `install_gpu_driver.sh` to support conditionally installing cuDNN via GCS-cached tarballs. Added a new `cudnn-install-source` metadata parameter allowing manual overrides. Automatically default Rocky <= 2.1 environments to the tarball method.
- **GPU Agent Egress Hardening:** Replaced brittle variable-bound proxy certificate evaluations with a safer checks for the presence of `trusted_pem_path` during agent installation.
- **Integration Test Suite Optimization:**
  - Reverted temporary testing overrides: returned machine types from `n1-standard-32` to `n1-standard-16` and timeouts from `120` to `90` minutes.
  - Restored standard test scenarios by removing temporary `skipTest` overrides.
  - Explicitly skipped `2.0-rocky8` allocations which are known to fail.
- **Documentation Updates:** Documented the new `cudnn-install-source` metadata parameter in `README.md` and added a comprehensive "Fast Iterative Development (SSH/Manual)" guide to `TESTING.md` outlining Sentinel purge loops and bare cluster provisioning.

 ## Development and Testing
 
+For instructions on how to manually test changes to this initialization action, including iterative development on a live cluster, please see the [TESTING.md](./TESTING.md) guide.
+
 If you are modifying this initialization action, you can use the provided test infrastructure to validate your changes locally before deploying them to production.

+## Fast Iterative Development (SSH/Manual)
+
+This initialization action is designed to be **idempotent**, meaning it can be run multiple times on the same node without breaking the environment. It achieves this by writing "completion sentinels" to `/opt/install-dpgce/complete/` after successfully finishing each phase (e.g., `build-dependencies`, `nccl`, `cuda`).
+
+To facilitate rapid iteration, we use the tooling provided in the companion `cloud-dataproc/gcloud` repository. This repo contains the test infrastructure, environment configuration (`env.json`), and lifecycle management scripts (`recreate-dpgce`, `ssh-m`, `scp-m`) necessary to provision and interact with test clusters efficiently.
+
+When making structural or execution logic changes, you want to avoid destroying and recreating the entire Dataproc cluster during each test cycle. Instead, follow this incremental workflow:
+
+### 1. Provision a "Bare" GPU Cluster
+First, configure your target OS and versions in `cloud-dataproc/gcloud/env.json`. Then, use the `--no-init-action` flag on the recreation script to provision a cluster with GPUs attached, but *without* running any initialization actions during boot.
+
+```bash
+cd ../cloud-dataproc/gcloud
+# Edit env.json to set IMAGE_VERSION, REGION, ZONE, ACCELERATOR_TYPE, etc.
+./bin/recreate-dpgce --gpu --no-init-action
+```
+*Note: `recreate-dpgce` will delete and recreate the cluster if it already exists.*
+
+### 2. Compile, Stage, and Execute in Screen
+The `install-in-screen.sh` script automates compiling the fragments, staging the script to the -m node, and running it within a detached `screen` session.
+
+```bash
+cd ../initialization-actions/gpu
+./install-in-screen.sh
+```
+
+This command will:
+*   Concatenate scripts from `install_gpu_driver.sh.d/` into `install_gpu_driver.sh`.
+*   Use `../cloud-dataproc/gcloud/bin/scp-m` to upload the script to `/tmp/install_gpu_driver.sh` on the -m node.
+*   SSH to the -m node and start the script in a `screen` session named `gpu_install`. If the session already exists, it reattaches.
+
+**Monitoring:**
+*   Logs are streamed to `/tmp/install_gpu_driver.log` on the -m node. You can tail this file via a separate SSH session:
+    ```bash
+    cd ../cloud-dataproc/gcloud
+    ./bin/ssh-m "tail -f /tmp/install_gpu_driver.log"
+    ```
+*   Re-run `./install-in-screen.sh` to reattach to the screen session.
+
+### 3. Incremental Testing & Clearing Sentinels
+To re-run specific parts of the script after making fixes, you MUST clear the completion sentinels for those parts on the -m node.
+
+*   To run the *entire* script from scratch:
+    ```bash
+    cd ../cloud-dataproc/gcloud
+    ./bin/ssh-m 'sudo rm -rf /opt/install-dpgce/complete'
+    ```
+*   To re-test only the NCCL build:
+    ```bash
+    cd ../cloud-dataproc/gcloud
+    ./bin/ssh-m 'sudo rm -f /opt/install-dpgce/complete/nccl && sudo rm -rf /opt/install-dpgce/nccl'
+    ```
+Then, run `./initialization-actions/gpu/install-in-screen.sh` again.
+
+### 4. Verify with the Test Suite
+Once the installation script completes without errors in the screen session, run the external testing suite from the `cloud-dataproc/gcloud` repository to ensure all Conda environments (PyTorch, TensorFlow, RAPIDS) and Spark services correctly bind to the GPU.
+
+```bash
+cd ../cloud-dataproc/gcloud
+bash t/spark-gpu-test.sh
+```
+
 ## Continuous Integration Testing (Bazel/Podman)
 
 Once the manual tests pass, you **must** verify the script behaves correctly within the isolated Python `absl` test harness (`test_gpu.py`) before pushing your changes to GitHub. This validates the full matrix of installation scenarios (SINGLE, STANDARD, KERBEROS, MIG, etc.).
