## [Unreleased]

### Changed

- The `nscale` provider's Slurm auto-discovery no longer requires a statically configured `placementId`. It now lists placements for the credentialed organization and region via the Nscale Placements API, then queries the Placement Servers API for each placement and merges the results into the instance-to-node map.

### Removed

- `nscale` provider `placementId` parameter — placements are discovered dynamically instead. `region` credential is now required whenever Slurm auto-discovery (`Instances2NodeMap`) is used.

### Added

- Documentation diagrams for architecture, Kubernetes, Slinky, Slurm topology formats, and engine outputs now ship as community-variant SVG and PNG assets with automatic dark/light mode switching (`<picture>` / `prefers-color-scheme` in docs; `#gh-light-mode-only` / `#gh-dark-mode-only` in README).

The `nscale` topology provider reads topology data from the Nscale Radar API and converts it into Topograph's canonical three-tier topology graph.

The provider uses two Nscale APIs:
The provider uses three Nscale APIs:

- **Radar API**: returns each instance's network path via `GET /v1/topology`
- **Instance API**: returns instance metadata via `GET /v2/instances?organizationID=<org>&regionID=<region>`
- **Placements API**: lists the organization's placements in a region via `GET /api/v2/placements`
- **Placement Servers API**: returns server metadata for a placement via `GET /api/v2/placements/{placementID}/servers`

The Radar response supplies the provider instance ID, switch path, and optional block ID. The Instance API response maps provider instance IDs to hostnames using `metadata.id` and `metadata.name`; this is used by the Slurm engine when Topograph discovers Slurm nodes automatically.
The Radar response supplies the provider instance ID, switch path, and optional block ID. For Slurm auto-discovery, the provider lists every placement for the configured organization and region, then queries the Placement Servers API for each one and merges the results into a single instance-ID-to-hostname map using `metadata.id` and `metadata.name`.

## When to Use This Provider

Use this provider for Nscale environments where Radar is the topology source. It is most commonly used with the Slurm engine to generate `topology.conf` from the current Slurm node list.

If the request payload supplies explicit `nodes`, Topograph uses those instance ID to node name mappings directly. If `nodes` is omitted and the Slurm engine is used, Topograph runs `scontrol show nodes -o`, asks the Nscale Instance API for the instance catalog in the configured region, and keeps entries whose `metadata.name` matches a Slurm node name.
If the request payload supplies explicit `nodes`, Topograph uses those instance ID to node name mappings directly. If `nodes` is omitted and the Slurm engine is used, Topograph runs `scontrol show nodes -o`, lists the organization's placements in the configured region via the Nscale Placements API, and asks the Placement Servers API for the server catalog of each placement. When `scontrol` returns a non-empty node list, only entries whose `metadata.name` exactly matches a Slurm node name are kept; if the node list is empty, every placement-server mapping is kept.

## Prerequisites

- A Radar API endpoint reachable from the Topograph host
- An Instance API endpoint reachable from the Topograph host
- A Placements / Placement Servers API endpoint reachable from the Topograph host
- An Nscale organization ID
- An API token with permission to read topology and instance metadata
- An API token with permission to read topology, placements, and placement server metadata
- The Nscale region ID for the cluster
- For Slurm auto-discovery, `scontrol` must be available to the Topograph process

For Slurm auto-discovery, the provider also fetches instance metadata:
For Slurm auto-discovery, the provider first lists the organization's placements in the configured region from the Placements API:

```text
GET <instanceApiUrl>/v2/instances?organizationID=<org>&regionID=<region>
GET <instanceApiUrl>/api/v2/placements?organizationID=<org>&regionID=<region>
Authorization: Bearer <token>
```

The response is an array of placement objects; the provider extracts `metadata.id` from each entry. It then fetches server metadata from the Placement Servers API for every placement ID returned:

```text
GET <instanceApiUrl>/api/v2/placements/<placementId>/servers
Authorization: Bearer <token>
```

The response is an array of placement server objects. The provider extracts `metadata.id` (the server's unique identifier) and `metadata.name` (the hostname) from each entry and merges them across all placements into a single instance-ID-to-hostname map.

It builds the same map produced by:

```bash
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
"$INSTANCE_API_URL/v2/instances?organizationID=$ORG&regionID=$REGION" \
| jq -r '.[] | "\(.metadata.id)\t\(.metadata.name)"'

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Allow valid empty placement and server responses.

jq -e exits nonzero when an array is valid but the filter produces no records. With set -euo pipefail, both commands fail for an empty placement list or a placement with no valid servers. The provider accepts these responses and returns an empty mapping.

  • docs/providers/nscale.md#L184-L191: Replace jq -e with a filter that validates the top-level array but exits successfully when it contains no usable placement IDs or servers.
  • docs/providers/nscale.md#L210-L217: Apply the same empty-array handling in the verification command.
Proposed fix
-  | jq -er '.[] | select(.metadata.id != "") | .metadata.id')
+  | jq -r 'if type != "array" then error("expected placements array") else .[] | select((.metadata.id? // "") | length > 0) | .metadata.id end')

Apply the same pattern to the Placement Servers filters. Validate the array type, but do not use -e for a list that may validly produce zero mappings.

As per path instructions, “Check nil, empty, malformed, duplicate, boundary, and partial inputs.”

## Verifying the Output

First verify that the Instance API returns the hostnames Slurm knows:
When Slurm's node list (`scontrol show nodes -o`) is non-empty, `Instances2NodeMap`
only keeps a Placement Server entry when its `metadata.name` is an exact match for a
Slurm node name — there is no fuzzy or partial matching. If the node list is empty,
no filtering is applied and every placement-server mapping is retained. Before
triggering topology generation, compare the hostnames returned by the Placements and
Placement Servers APIs against Slurm's own node list and fail if they differ:

```bash
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
"$INSTANCE_API_URL/v2/instances?organizationID=$ORG&regionID=$REGION" \
| jq -r '.[] | "\(.metadata.id)\t\(.metadata.name)"'
set -euo pipefail

slurm_nodes=$(scontrol show nodes -o | grep -oE 'NodeName=[^ ]+' | cut -d= -f2 | sort -u)
[ -n "$slurm_nodes" ] || { echo "FAIL: scontrol returned no nodes"; exit 1; }

placement_ids=$(curl --fail --show-error --silent -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
"$INSTANCE_API_URL/api/v2/placements?organizationID=$ORG_ID&regionID=$REGION_ID" \
| jq -er '.[] | select(.metadata.id != "") | .metadata.id')

placement_hostnames=$(for placement_id in $placement_ids; do
curl --fail --show-error --silent -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
"$INSTANCE_API_URL/api/v2/placements/$placement_id/servers" \
| jq -er '.[] | select(.metadata.id != "" and .metadata.name != "") | .metadata.name'
done | sort -u)

if diff <(printf '%s\n' "$slurm_nodes") <(printf '%s\n' "$placement_hostnames"); then
echo "OK: Placement Server hostnames match Slurm's node list"
else
echo "FAIL: Placement Server hostnames differ from Slurm's node list"
exit 1
fi
```

If the two lists differ, `Instances2NodeMap` will silently drop the mismatched nodes
from the generated topology rather than erroring, so this check should be run before
relying on Slurm auto-discovery.

Then trigger topology generation:
