Changes

  • harden release candidate identity and safe publication recovery checks
  • add configured transcription and embedding engine builders
  • validate WAV fixtures and stabilize the native C API acceptance gate

Testing

  • env -u VLLM_CPP_TEST_MODEL just ci
  • repeated native C API fixture runs with synchronous scheduler rollback
  • two fresh offline package and publish dry runs

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added builder APIs for configuring transcription and embedding engines, including model, device, batching, caching, and memory options.
    • Added validation for model paths, device support, GPU memory, and KV-cache settings.
    • Improved task selection and configuration guidance in the public documentation.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Known native test failures are retried automatically while unexpected failures still block validation.
    • Release checks now verify commit and archive integrity more thoroughly.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds restricted transcription and embedding builders, strengthens WAV and safe API tests, handles one recognized native C API test flake, and adds commit, registry, and archive verification steps to the release procedure.

Changes

Task-specific engine builders

Layer / File(s) Summary
Builder API and task loading
vllm-cpp/src/engine.rs, vllm-cpp/src/lib.rs, vllm-cpp/src/abi.rs
Adds restricted transcription and embedding builders, delegates engine loading through them, exports the builders, updates ABI documentation, and removes test-only compatibility helpers.
Fixture parsing and task integration
vllm-cpp/tests/qwen3.rs
Adds strict PCM16 mono WAV parsing and malformed-input tests. Transcription and embedding fixtures use configured builders.
Safe API error and trait validation
vllm-cpp/tests/safe_api.rs
Tests builder traits, missing-model errors, interior-NUL paths, and invalid embedding memory settings.

Native test and release controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Native test flake handling
Justfile
Reports the safe package checksum and retries one exact known test_capi failure with synchronous scheduling. Unexpected failures remain errors.
Release identity and validation
RELEASING.md
Adds release-commit identity checks and expands native package, ABI, export, and Linux CPU validation requirements.
Registry state and archive verification
RELEASING.md
Adds crates.io state classification, sys-first publication guards, safe-crate retry rules, and exact archive verification.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f782b

The release workflow can validate one archive while publishing different contents, allowing a release to pass its safety check without verifying the bytes actually uploaded. Merge should wait for uploaded-archive verification or explicit owner acceptance.

A safe upload retry is allowed only for the same independently approved archive bytes. Obtain the approved hash externally; never copy a dirty-candidate hash into this document or derive the expected value from a rebuilt archive.

```bash
set -euo pipefail
: "${VLLM_CPP_SAFE_ARCHIVE_SHA256:?set this to the approved safe archive SHA-256}"
if [[ ! $VLLM_CPP_SAFE_ARCHIVE_SHA256 =~ ^[0-9a-f]{64}$ ]]; then
echo 'VLLM_CPP_SAFE_ARCHIVE_SHA256 must be exactly 64 lowercase hexadecimal characters' >&2
exit 1
fi
safe_archive=target/package/vllm-cpp-0.0.2.crate
actual_safe_sha256=$(sha256sum "$safe_archive" | awk '{print $1}')
if [[ $actual_safe_sha256 != "$VLLM_CPP_SAFE_ARCHIVE_SHA256" ]]; then
echo 'safe archive differs from the approved bytes; prepare a new coordinated version' >&2
exit 1
fi
```

Rerun the registry helper after this check. Retry only when `sys_state=accepted` and `safe_state=absent`, and only after separate upload authorization. `ambiguous` means stop. If `safe_state=accepted`, do not upload; instead verify the accepted archive against the same approved hash before post-publication checks:

```bash
set -euo pipefail
accepted_safe=$(mktemp)
trap 'rm -f "$accepted_safe"' EXIT HUP INT TERM
curl --fail --silent --show-error --location --connect-timeout 10 --max-time 60 \
--retry 0 --output "$accepted_safe" -- \
'https://crates.io/api/v1/crates/vllm-cpp/0.0.2/download'
printf '%s %s\n' "$VLLM_CPP_SAFE_ARCHIVE_SHA256" "$accepted_safe" \
| sha256sum --check --strict

Cargo publish uses existing target/package archive or rebuilds cargo package official documentation

💡 Result:

Yes, the cargo publish command performs a full rebuild of the package from scratch [1]. When you run cargo publish, it invokes the same packaging process used by cargo package, which specifically rebuilds the package to ensure it can be built from a clean, pristine state [1]. This process includes several verification steps, such as: 1. Performing verification checks on the package [2]. 2. Rewriting and normalizing the Cargo.toml file [1]. 3. Compressing the source code into a.crate file [2][1]. 4. Extracting the.crate file into a temporary directory and verifying that it compiles [2]. Because cargo package (and by extension cargo publish) builds from scratch to guarantee integrity, it does not rely on existing target/package archives [1]. If you want to verify the contents of what will be published without actually uploading, you can use cargo publish --dry-run (which is equivalent to running cargo package), and then inspect the resulting.crate file in the target/package directory [2][1].

Bind the approved hash to the archive that Cargo uploads.

The check at line 174 reads the default target/package archive, but cargo publish -p vllm-cpp --locked packages the workspace again and does not upload that pre-existing file. The check can pass while Cargo uploads different bytes. Verify the downloaded registry archive against VLLM_CPP_SAFE_ARCHIVE_SHA256 after every safe upload.
