Summary

The scoped device-tensor view over a kernel output ([python-kernel-api] §Graphics, change python-kernel-surface):

  • GpuSurfaceHandle.as_device_tensor() — the blit-out / blit-back scope, house style. Entering blits the surface into its linear device export and serves DLPack capsules; leaving normally blits the write back, ordered by the engine ahead of its next read; leaving by a propagating exception discards it and the surface keeps the frame it already held. No fence or timeline vocabulary reaches Python.
  • Texture-backed write-backsurface_export_staging.rs extends from buffer-backed to texture-backed write-back via record_copy_buffer_to_image plus the layout dance the read direction already records. Only the texture arm's writable: false retires; the pool-surface refusal survives and now solely enforces the [surface-id-lifetime-contract] rule (a pool member its producer still owns exports read-only). The staging records which backing kind it was minted over, so each write-back re-guards against its own kind — without that, the producer-texture re-test would have refused every kernel output, since kernel outputs are registered textures.
  • Float formatsexport_pixel_shape_for_texture accepts Rgba16Float / Rgba32Float. PixelFormat gains the two float variants (torch sees float16/float32), the staging sizes by the format's own pixel width, and the refill gains a format-identity guard so a re-registration cannot silently relabel channels.
  • Discard on exception, one rule for both scopes (owner, 2026-08-07) — GpuSurfaceHandle.__exit__ discards a pending device write on the raise path (deliberate change to shipped behaviour), still closes, never suppresses. The arm/discard/publish-once protocol is one PendingDeviceWriteBack type shared by both scopes.
  • Usage-guarded copies — a staged texture copy refuses by name when the image's usage forbids it (copy_src for the blit-out, copy_dst for the blit-back) instead of recording a spec-violating command the driver silently tolerates. writable() derives from a backing-kind enum whose variants carry their own write rule, so an illegal pair is unrepresentable, and the scope refuses a read-only export at __enter__ rather than discarding edits silently.
  • Engine-owned CUDA ordering — the publish runs a device-wide CUDA synchronize before the engine's copy reads the staging, so no consumer owes a torch.cuda.synchronize(); the edit probes prove the ordering instead of supplying it.
  • An acquire_texture handle becomes a HelperCheckedOutSurface::AcquiredDeviceTexture variant instead of a field-level special case, so its release debt and device export share the standard owned-memory lifetime — a tensor outliving its handle keeps the pool slot alive.

This branch discharges the change file's last red REMOVED: bullet — ship-change-removed-gate.sh is now fully clean on python-kernel-surface.md, unblocking /ship-change.

Closes #1779

Exit criteria

  • as_device_tensor() scope: __enter__ returns self, __exit__ -> Literal[False], never suppresses
  • Texture-backed write-back through record_copy_buffer_to_image + layout barriers; texture arm's writable: false dies; pool-surface refusal survives (comment's trap honoured)
  • export_pixel_shape_for_texture accepts Rgba16Float / Rgba32Float
  • Discard-on-exception for both scopes; exception propagates unsuppressed
  • _engine.pyi entries (stubtest + pyright green)
  • test_a_pooled_texture_exports_a_device_tensor resurrected (see Notes for what could not come back verbatim)

Test plan

All GPU tests ran on the rig (RTX 3090, CUDA torch 2.13) — requires_gpu never runs in CI, so CI green is not proof for this ticket; rig runs below are.

  • Engine (cargo test -p streamlib-engine --lib surface_export_staging, 19 pass on-rig): new — texture-backed write-back round trip through the texture; read-before-write refusal on the texture arm; both usage refusals (copy_src-less refill, copy_dst-less write-back); float staging sized 8 B/px with float identity; flipped — texture export asserts writable(). Unchanged and still green: dual-backed refusal, producer-registers-over-slot refusal, frame-identity guards.
  • Wheel probes (on-rig, real helper processes): the demo — torch doubles an rgba16_float kernel output in place through the scope with no torch.cuda.synchronize(), float16 dtype, doubled values survive a second scope entry (blit-back reached the texture, not just the staging); discard-on-exception for both scopes (pre-scope content intact, exception propagates, surface + kernel usable after); usage refusals at scope entry through the wire; resurrected pooled-texture export. CUDA availability is gated precisely via __dlpack_device__, never a substring heuristic.
  • Regression: full test_device_exchange.py, test_compute_kernel.py, test_pixel_exchange.py, test_kernel_dispatch_batch.py, test_graphics_kernel.py, test_ray_tracing_kernel.py — 69 passed, 1 pre-existing skip.
  • Typing: mypy.stubtest green, pyright@1.1.411 0 errors. Wheel crate lib tests 65 pass.

Notes for owner

  • Resurrection deltas (recorded in the test's docstring too): the original test_a_pooled_texture_exports_a_device_tensor asserted a pooled-texture- id prefix (the escalate acquire now mints a UUID handle id), a read-only tensor (this ticket makes texture-backed exports writable), and a lease-bound full-access host-side arm (that capability shape no longer exists). The live substance — an acquired pooled texture exports a correctly-shaped device tensor — is what came back.
  • Rgba64 mislabel (no diff): its discriminant 0x52476841 is CoreVideo's 'RGhA' = kCVPixelFormatType_64RGBAHalf (half-float), but its comment claims 64RGBALE ('l64r') and every consumer treats it as uint16 unorm. Rgba16Float therefore carries a StreamLib-local code (0x52476846), with as_cv_pixel_format_type mapping it to CoreVideo's real 'RGhA' so no bogus OSType can reach CoreVideo; Rgba32Float takes CoreVideo's real 'RGfA'. Swapping Rgba64 to its honest code is a one-line fix plus pinned-test update, but the discriminant is called a wire contract, so not this ticket's call.
  • Raw u32 → PixelFormat table exists thrice (no diff): from_cv_pixel_format_type (macOS-cfg'd), pixel_buffer.rs::format(), and color_converter.rs::pixel_format_from_raw each hand-write the same FourCC table; this branch extended all three correctly, but a future variant that misses one gets a silent Unknown. Un-cfg'ing the canonical map as PixelFormat::from_raw would collapse them — a separate cleanup, not this diff.
  • Pooled-arm format-identity gap (no diff): the new format-identity guard covers the texture arms only; the pooled arms still compare plane_size(0) alone, so a same-size different-format re-resolve would still relabel channels. Pre-existing; recommend extending the guard when the pooled arm is next touched.
  • Wheel wire-name list drift (no diff): TEXTURE_FORMAT_WIRE_NAMES in python_processor_context.rs offers r8_unorm / rg8_unorm, which the engine's TextureFormat does not have — the parent refuses them at parse. Pre-existing.
  • Pre-existing clippy warning left in place per doctrine: collapsible if at python_helper_process_spawn_host.rs:201.
  • Scope is write-capable-onlyas_device_tensor() refuses a read-only export at __enter__ (a dual-backed resolve_surface frame, or a copy_dst-less texture) instead of handing out a tensor whose edits would be silently discarded; the refusal points readers at lock() + __dlpack__. This closes the silent-discard hole the ADR's publish() rejection reasoned about, but it narrows the one-line "blit-out / blit-back scope" the ticket did not spell — overturn if reading through the scope should be legal.
  • Device-wide sync is deliberately blunt — the publish synchronizes every stream on the import's device (bracketed with a get/restore of the thread's current device). Honouring __dlpack__(stream=…) would be finer-grained; a performance refinement for later, not a correctness gap — verified under a 2048×2048, 400-op no-user-sync stress by the reviewer.
  • Scope __enter__'s re-entry guard is check-then-act across two lock acquisitions (holding the mutex across the parent hop would violate the file's mutex-across-the-GIL rule); a concurrent double-enter costs one wasted blit, never corruption.
  • The macOS CV map is one-way for the float16 code: from_cv_pixel_format_type(0x52476841) still answers Rgba64 (the pre-existing mislabel above), so a macOS round trip of a half-float surface relabels it uint16. Nothing reaches that path today; the honest fix lives at Rgba64's discriminant.
  • The ticket-body comment's claim that the removed-gate was red on two bullets is stale: feat(engine): cross-process texture import for Python processors #1778 landed via feat(engine)!: cross-process texture import for Python processors #1899, so it was red on exactly this ticket's bullet — now discharged. /ship-change for python-kernel-surface is unblocked once this merges.

Rgba16Float / Rgba32Float join PixelFormat so a texture-backed surface
export can state the shape a kernel output actually carries. Rgba16Float
takes a StreamLib-local code because CoreVideo's half-float FourCC is
already occupied by Rgba64; Rgba32Float takes CoreVideo's own 'RGfA'.
The DLPack layout map gains the float arms, so torch sees float16/float32.

…urface export staging

The export staging extends from buffer-backed to texture-backed
write-back: a kernel output's staged edit publishes into the registered
texture via record_copy_buffer_to_image plus the layout dance the read
direction already records. The texture arm's writable=false retires —
that arm answers only for surfaces with no pooled member, so the
pool-member rule has nothing to protect there. The pool-surface refusal
survives untouched: it now computes the surface-id-lifetime-contract
rule alone, and the staging records which backing kind it was minted
over so each write-back re-guards against its own kind.

export_pixel_shape_for_texture accepts Rgba16Float/Rgba32Float, sizing
the staging by the format's own pixel width, and the refill gains a
format-identity guard so a re-registration cannot relabel channels.

…tion path

GpuSurfaceHandle.as_device_tensor() opens the blit-out / blit-back scope:
entering blits the surface into its linear device export, leaving
normally blits any write back ordered ahead of the engine's next read,
and leaving by a propagating exception discards it — the surface keeps
the frame it already held. One rule for both scopes: the handle's own
context-manager exit now discards a pending device write on the raise
path too, still closes, and never suppresses.

An acquire_texture handle gains the owned-memory anchor the scope rides:
the acquired texture becomes a HelperCheckedOutSurface variant instead
of a field-level special case, so its release debt and device export
share the lifetime story every other surface has — a tensor outliving
its handle keeps the pool slot alive.

…ne-owned CUDA ordering, shared write-back protocol

The blocker: a staged texture copy now refuses by name when the image's
usage forbids it (copy_src for the blit-out, copy_dst for the blit-back)
instead of recording a spec-violating command the driver silently
tolerates — Texture grows transfer-usage predicates behind the RHI wall,
the shared guard runs in both copy directions, and writable() derives
from a backing-kind enum whose variants carry their own write rule, so
an illegal kind/writable pair is unrepresentable.

The write direction gains its ordering: the publish runs a device-wide
CUDA synchronize before the engine's copy reads the staging, so no
consumer owes a torch.cuda.synchronize() — the edit probes now prove
the ordering instead of supplying it. The pending-write protocol
(arm / discard / publish-once) moves into one PendingDeviceWriteBack
shared by both scopes, and the device-tensor scope refuses re-entry and
read-only exports at __enter__ rather than discarding edits silently.

Probes gate CUDA precisely via __dlpack_device__ — no substring skip
heuristic that could mask a real defect — and the falsified doc claims
the diff created are corrected, including the CV FourCC story
(as_cv_pixel_format_type now maps the StreamLib-local Rgba16Float code
to CoreVideo's real half-float 'RGhA').

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fa334

The PR adds writable device-tensor views, texture write-back, and float-format support. A failed GPU submission may leave texture state tracking incorrect, and some macOS float-format round trips may change the reported element type, so the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up for these bounded edge cases.

Document the one-way CoreVideo mapping, or refuse the reverse.

as_cv_pixel_format_type(Rgba16Float) returns 0x52476841. from_cv_pixel_format_type(0x52476841) returns Rgba64. A value that leaves through the first function and returns through the second changes identity from half-float to uint16. bits_per_pixel agrees at 64, so no size check catches the swap; only the element type is wrong.

The two float arms added at Lines 94-95 make the asymmetry reachable for any macOS caller that round-trips a format through CoreVideo. State the loss on from_cv_pixel_format_type so a caller does not assume symmetry.

1825-1861: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Extend float coverage to the write direction, and cover the new refusal branches.

a_float_format_texture_sizes_its_staging_by_its_own_pixel_width stops at mint. It asserts the staging size, the pixel identity, and writable(). It never records a copy. The round-trip test at Line 1680 uses Rgba8Unorm, so no test exercises record_write_back or record_refill with an 8-byte-per-pixel image. A stride or region error in the float path would pass both tests.

Two refusal branches added by this change also have no test: the format-identity refusal at Line 774 and the geometry refusal at Line 784. Both fire only after a re-registration, which is the case they exist for.

Do you want me to add a float write-back round trip and a re-registration refusal test?

623-649: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider making the re-entry guard atomic.

The guard reads prepared_device_export at Line 626, then writes it at Line 641. prepare_device_export releases the GIL around its blocking refill, so another Python thread can enter this window. Both threads would then pass the is_some() check, run a blit each, and the second store would drop the first PreparedDeviceExport.

The result is a wasted blit rather than corrupted pixels, and it needs one scope object shared across threads. Holding a single guard across the check and the store closes it.

mapping is not reversible: 0x52476841 maps to Rgba64, while
as_cv_pixel_format_type(Rgba16Float) emits the same value, so round-tripping
Rgba16Float loses its element-type identity. Make the warning explicit near the
reverse conversion without changing the existing mapping.

Nitpick comments:
In `@runtime/streamlib-engine/src/core/context/surface_export_staging.rs`:
- Around line 1825-1861: Extend the GPU staging tests around
a_float_format_texture_sizes_its_staging_by_its_own_pixel_width with an
Rgba16Float write-back/refill round trip that exercises record_write_back and
record_refill using the 8-byte-per-pixel geometry. Add coverage for
re-registering the texture with a different format identity and with
incompatible geometry, asserting both operations refuse those mismatches as
intended while preserving the existing valid-path assertions.

In `@runtime/streamlib-engine/src/core/rhi/texture.rs`:
- Around line 288-301: Add a documentation note to the public methods
supports_transfer_read and supports_transfer_write stating that they are
host-only and that host_inner() panics in cdylib mode, matching the note used by
the neighbouring accessors such as Texture::native_handle.

In `@sdk/streamlib-python-wheel/src/python_processor_context.rs`:
- Around line 623-649: Make the re-entry guard in __enter__ atomic by adding or
reusing an AtomicBool entered flag and claiming it with compare_exchange before
calling prepare_device_export. Return the existing scope error when the claim
fails; on preparation failure or a non-writable result, release the claim before
returning, and keep it held after successfully storing prepared_device_export.

The registration-layout update both staged-copy directions make true now
rides the record step's return value and lands only after the submission
succeeds, in the same guarded bookkeeping block as the frame field. Plus
the CV-map asymmetry and host-only doc notes, a float write-back round
trip, and re-registration format/geometry refusal tests.

All review items addressed in 94458e6, one deliberately skipped:

  • Layout update on failed submit (the actionable): fixed — the registration-layout update now rides the record step's return value (TextureLayoutSettledByThisCopy) and is applied only after submit_signaling_timeline succeeds, in the same guarded bookkeeping block as the frame field. Both copy directions.
  • from_cv_pixel_format_type asymmetry: documented as proposed.
  • Host-only note on the transfer predicates: added, matching native_handle's wording.
  • Float write direction + re-registration refusals: covered — a_float_format_edit_round_trips_through_the_texture (8 B/px write-back → refill round trip) and a_re_registration_with_a_different_shape_is_refused_at_the_copy (same-size format swap + geometry change, both refusing by name). 21/21 staging tests pass on the rig.
  • Atomic re-entry guard: skipped. Holding the slot mutex across prepare_device_export would violate this file's documented mutex-across-the-GIL rule (the prepare crosses to the parent), and the pre-review pass judged the two-lock shape the right trade — a concurrent double-enter on one shared scope object costs one wasted blit and a dropped PreparedDeviceExport, never corruption or a double publish (publish_if_armed is swap-once).

…ive (#1907)

* docs(plan): ship python-kernel-surface — fold into §Graphics and archive

Every ticket of the change is merged: #1773 (named N-binding compute
dispatch), #1774 (CPU readback as an always-present capability), #1775
(GLSL source contract), #1776 (batched dispatch), #1777 (graphics and
ray-tracing parity), #1778 (cross-process texture import) and #1779 (the
device-tensor scope), the last landing as PR #1902 on 2026-08-22.

The REMOVED gate is clean — 13 bullets, none referenced and none on disk —
so the four bridge traits, their installers, the nine bridge-absent paths,
the v1 single-output convention and the three Python refusals are gone from
the tree, not merely unused.

Six of §Graphics' seven [python-kernel-api] entries are marked SHIPPED with
verify markers. The seventh, the Rust bindings-at-dispatch convergence, is
out of scope by the change's own sequencing and stays unmarked, so the
section stays IN-FLIGHT — now driven by kernel-kind-parity-bar alone.

Four facts the implementation established fold into the entries that own
them, each an owner-approved consequence rather than a new decision:

- The device-write scopes discard on the exception path (owner, 2026-08-07)
  — one rule for both, because blitting a half-written view back publishes a
  torn frame that surfaces downstream instead of at the raise.
- A write-back is an edit of a frame the processor read; the engine refuses
  one into a staging no read of that frame landed in, since it cannot tell a
  consumer's write from uninitialised memory.
- Cross-process importability is an allocation flavour the engine derives
  per acquisition, never a Python dial (approved at #1778's announce gate).
- The batch sends one op on leaving the scope rather than holding the
  privileged gate open across user Python, and carries the two constraints
  that retire with the Rust convergence — one kernel once per batch, and no
  surface bound at two kinds in one dispatch.

The named-binding error contract joins the kernel-as-object entry: every
mismatch raises before any GPU work is submitted, naming the shader's own
bindings, checked engine-side so the wheel is never the only guard.

No plan text is retired — the REMOVED bullets retire code the plan already
describes as deleted.

The system diagram's helper→engine edge carries the kernel contract instead
of the bare "kernels + texture handles" label.

kernel-kind-parity-bar.md is corrected in the same PR, being the file this
fold falsifies: its verbatim quote of the parity entry and its paste-ready
replacement both carry the SHIPPED clause and markers forward (it narrows
the claim, it does not unship it); its fifth-refusal note becomes the record
that #1778 discharged it; and its fourteen ARCHITECTURE.md anchors are
re-pointed. Those anchors were already stale by +28 lines from #1903's
raw-handle entries before this fold moved them again.

* docs(plan): tighten the folded importability, write-back and diagram wording

Three review findings on the fold, each verified against the tree before
acting:

- The importability summary dropped two conditions the derivation actually
  applies (`derive_texture_cross_process_importability`,
  subprocess_escalate.rs:3990-4017): DMA-BUF needs a single-plane format as
  well as a probed modifier, and OPAQUE_FD needs the image pool present. As
  written the plan overstated when an acquisition is importable. The
  fallback-not-failure rule the function documents is stated too.
- The write-back precondition named its subject by pronoun. It now names
  the refused operation directly.
- The diagram label collapsed two distinct things. A kernel output is named
  by surface id in a downstream bag; the DLPack scope over it is the
  optional third-party read / write-back, not how every output leaves.
