Summary

Compute reached named bindings and lost its bridge in #1882. Graphics and ray tracing were a
change behind, and both escalate paths were dead: the only implementations of either bridge
trait ever written lived in the polyglot-* example hosts #1715 deleted, so every caller got an
"unsupported" refusal. This brings both kinds to compute's spelling and puts them in Python's
hands.

  • Bindings resolve by the shader's own name. The four binding structs swap their slot number
    for it; the duplicate register/run kind enums collapse to one per pipeline kind; all three
    register responses share one binding type (same wire bytes, one shape). Reflection stops
    discarding DescriptorInfo.name for the staged kinds, and both kernels adopt it at
    construction the way VulkanComputeKernel does.
  • Both bridge traits deleted whole — fields, installers, getters, GpuContextFullAccess
    mirrors, and all six bridge-absent paths. GpuContext grows the kernel caches compute already
    had plus an acceleration-structure registry.
  • The handlers convert wire types to RHI arguments directly. The second half of that
    conversion never existed in the engine — graphics_pipeline_state_from_wire stopped at a
    *Wire mirror and the rest was the absent bridge's, so the flat-to-nested flattening is new.
  • Python gains GraphicsKernel, RayTracingKernel and the acceleration-structure builders.
    No slot number reaches it: dispatch is synchronous, so kernels register one descriptor set and
    draw at index 0.

Closes

Closes #1777

Exit criteria

  • run_graphics_draw / run_ray_tracing_kernel and both register ops take name, not
    binding; stage masks kept
  • Reflected names retained in GraphicsBindingSpec / RayTracingBindingSpec and both
    multi-stage reflection paths
  • GraphicsKernelBridge / RayTracingKernelBridge deleted with their decl/value structs
  • GraphicsKernel / RayTracingKernel pyclasses, create_*_kernel, build_triangles_blas,
    build_tlas, all with _engine.pyi entries
  • Stage mismatch refuses at construction
  • color_target_uuids untouched, exactly-one rule intact
  • Rust bindings-at-dispatch convergence out of scope; the numeric-slot setters survive

Test plan

Run on the rig (RTX 3090, VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline present) — requires_gpu genuinely
executed rather than deselected.

Check Result
cargo test -p streamlib-engine --lib 1325 passed, 0 failed
cargo test -p streamlib-python-wheel --lib 63 passed, 0 failed
kernel conformance (graphics/RT/compute/batch) 47 passed
mypy.stubtest streamlib._engine Success, no issues
cargo clippy --locked --workspace --exclude streamlib-adapter-skia --no-deps 0 errors
cargo fmt --all --check, cargo doc -p streamlib --no-deps clean / 0 rustdoc warnings
cargo xtask check-all-source-gates all 10 pass

Every new refusal was red-verified: the behaviour was reverted one branch at a time and the
owning test observed failing, then restored. The reviewer independently re-ran five of these
against the final tree.

Notes for owner

  1. Four graphics capabilities Rust keeps, Python cannot reach — vertex/index buffers and
    indexed draws, depth attachments, storage_buffer/uniform_buffer bindings, and MSAA. Each is
    refused by name, and each traces to a missing engine primitive: no escalate op mints a vertex
    buffer, offscreen_render attaches no depth, only texture-shaped surface resolution exists.
    This sits against §Graphics' "No kernel capability is Rust-only". You ruled: narrow the entry
    to kernel kinds (which its own enumeration already reads as, and Python now reaches all five)
    plus named dispositions.
    A /propose-change follows separately — this PR makes no plan edit.
    Tracker state: MSAA is feat(rhi): MSAA (sample count > 1) in VulkanGraphicsKernel #660, depth is feat(consumer-rhi): depth TextureFormat variants + StreamTexture allocation #664/test(rhi): offscreen depth-attachment correctness test for VulkanGraphicsKernel #665, all on Graphics Kernel Buildout, not MVP;
    the two Python-reach gaps have no owner at all.
  2. Three engine defects fixed at the engine layer, because the Python path is the first caller
    to reach them: a draw now barriers its sampled inputs into the layout their descriptors
    require, publishes the layout it leaves each colour target in (the record was going stale —
    same class as fix(engine): the tone mapper leaves each image in a layout its usage allows #1894's tone-mapper fix), and clears rather than LOAD-ing pixels
    offscreen_render just discarded from UNDEFINED.
  3. Ship gate red on two bullets, neither ours. importing a foreign DMA-BUF … and
    writable: false are owned by open feat(engine): cross-process texture import for Python processors #1778 and feat(python): the scoped device-tensor view over a kernel output #1779 (both on MVP, both unblocked since feat(engine): named N-binding compute dispatch from Python, end to end #1773
    closed), and both are red on origin/main. /ship-change correctly cannot archive
    python-kernel-surface until they land. All five bullets feat(engine): graphics and ray-tracing kernels at Python parity #1777 owns are discharged.
    feat(python): the scoped device-tensor view over a kernel output #1779's body had drifted badly and would have cost a shipped invariant — corrected
    in a comment.
  4. GraphicsBindingKind has no SampledImage, so a samplerless texture2D in a fragment
    shader is refused at construction. Symmetric — Rust authoring cannot express it either — so it
    is not a parity gap. Not filed; noted.
  5. Stage-mismatch-at-construction is a ray-tracing guarantee in practice. Graphics always
    builds from vertex+fragment, so no declaration can name a stage it lacks. The refusal is real
    and tested where the stage set actually varies.
  6. No pixel-value assertions on the drawn/traced output. CPU readback of a texture-backed
    surface from Python is plan(python): spell CPU readback and write-back of texture-backed surfaces in the wheel #1758's spelling and does not exist yet, so the conformance tests prove
    the pass ran and bound by name, not what it painted.
  7. The macOS cross-compile check could not run hereiceoryx2-pal-posix needs libproc.h,
    absent on this box; it fails identically with the change stashed. No CI job runs it either. The
    diff adds no Apple-path code and cfg discipline was checked by inspection.
  8. Pre-existing, verified against origin/main in a throwaway worktree:
    test_cli_launch.py::test_the_scaffolded_app_reaches_a_running_graph fails with undeliverable
    link notifications, and test_device_exchange needs CUDA torch (the rig venv's torch was
    swapped to a CPU-only build by a CI-shaped command during this session).

…n names

Reflection already hands `DescriptorInfo.name` to both multi-stage paths and
both discarded it. Compute stopped discarding it in #1882; this brings the
other two pipeline kinds to the same spelling, which is what a by-name draw or
trace resolves against.

`GraphicsBindingSpec` and `RayTracingBindingSpec` gain the `Option<Cow<'static,
str>>` name compute's carries, their construction adopts the reflected name the
way `VulkanComputeKernel` does, and each kind gains the declaration type and
reflection-derive its escalate handler will build from.

The reconciliation is shared rather than written twice: graphics and ray
tracing differ only in which two newtypes they name, so both map into one view
and one check. Compute keeps its own — it has no stage axis, which is the whole
complication. Stage masks gain the from-bits constructors a wire-supplied u32
needs, refusing an unknown bit rather than masking it off.

The test-fixture shaders keep their binding names too. The engine's own
build.rs already applies `-g` uniformly for exactly this reason; a fixture
compiled without it would be the one blob in the tree whose bindings cannot be
bound.

Compute reached named bindings and lost its bridge in #1882. Graphics and ray
tracing were left one change behind, and both their escalate paths were dead:
the only implementations of either bridge trait ever written lived in the
polyglot example hosts #1715 deleted, so every caller got an
"unsupported" refusal. This brings both kinds to compute's spelling and puts
them in Python's hands.

Bindings resolve by the shader's own name, on the wire and at the RHI. The
four binding structs swap their slot number for it, the duplicate register/run
kind enums collapse to one per pipeline kind, and all three register responses
share one binding type — same bytes, one shape. Reflection stops discarding
`DescriptorInfo.name` for the staged kinds, and both kernels adopt it at
construction the way `VulkanComputeKernel` does.

Both bridge traits are deleted whole, with their fields, installers, getters
and `GpuContextFullAccess` mirrors. `GpuContext` grows the kernel caches
compute already had plus an acceleration-structure registry, and the handlers
convert wire types to RHI arguments directly — the second half of that
conversion never existed in the engine, because it was the absent bridge's.

Python gains `GraphicsKernel`, `RayTracingKernel` and the acceleration-structure
builders. No slot number reaches it: dispatch is synchronous, so the kernels
register one descriptor set and draw at index 0, and the descriptor ring stays
where it belongs.

Four graphics capabilities Rust keeps are refused by name rather than dropped
silently — vertex and index buffers, depth attachments, buffer-kind bindings,
and MSAA. Each traces to a primitive the engine does not have: no escalate op
mints a vertex buffer, `offscreen_render` attaches no depth, and only
texture-shaped surface resolution exists.

Three defects the Python path is the first caller to reach are fixed at the
engine layer rather than worked around: a draw now barriers its sampled inputs
into the layout their descriptors require, publishes the layout it leaves each
colour target in, and clears rather than loading pixels `offscreen_render` has
just discarded.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds named graphics and ray-tracing bindings, shared SPIR-V reconciliation, direct GpuContext kernel management, acceleration-structure APIs, Python bindings, helper-process exchange operations, Vulkan validation, and GPU integration tests. It removes the former graphics and ray-tracing bridge model.

Changes

Graphics and ray-tracing kernel surface

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared binding reflection and wire contracts
runtime/streamlib-engine/src/core/rhi/*, runtime/streamlib-engine/src/core/compiler/compiler_ops/subprocess_escalate_wire_types/*
Binding declarations and dispatch values now use shader names. Shared reflection validates names, kinds, stages, descriptor sets, and push constants across compute, graphics, and ray-tracing kernels.
GpuContext kernel and acceleration-structure management
runtime/streamlib-engine/src/core/context/*
GpuContext now owns graphics and ray-tracing kernel caches plus an acceleration-structure registry. Bridge modules and bridge accessors were removed.
Python and helper-process APIs
sdk/streamlib-python-wheel/src/*, sdk/streamlib-python-wheel/python/streamlib/_engine.pyi
Python now exposes graphics kernels, ray-tracing kernels, BLAS/TLAS construction, named binding inspection, draw and trace operations, and acceleration-structure handles.
Vulkan validation and resource conversion
runtime/streamlib-engine/src/vulkan/rhi/*
Vulkan kernel construction stores reconciled binding specifications. It rejects unnamed, conflicting, duplicated, mismatched, and non-set-0 bindings. Acceleration-structure flags and indices receive validation.
Fixtures, documentation, and integration tests
packages/test-fixtures/build.rs, docs/architecture/*, sdk/streamlib-python-wheel/tests/*
Shader fixtures retain debug names. Documentation describes direct capabilities and named bindings. Graphics and ray-tracing probes test successful execution and validation failures.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3b4b9

This PR exposes graphics and ray-tracing kernels to Python, but ray-tracing construction can still accept a binding stage that has no corresponding shader module, leaving invalid visibility in the binding state and risking failed or incorrect dispatches. Merge should wait for that validation fix.

162-162: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider sharing one probe run across the tests that assert on it.

run_probe starts a helper app subprocess per call. GraphicsBindingRefusalProbe is launched seven times across this file, and every launch performs the same GPU work to produce the same observation dict. A module-scoped fixture keyed by probe class name would keep each assertion separate while launching each probe once.

This only affects rig runtime, so treat it as optional.

run_probe relaunches the same probe once per asserting test.

Reject reflected bindings without names instead of silently dropping them. Both graphics and ray-tracing reconciliation paths use filter_map to omit specs whose name is None. That bypasses completeness validation and can allow a binding to disappear before bind or draw. Current reflection supplies names, but hand-built or future reflected specs would fail silently; return an error instead.

In `@sdk/streamlib-python-wheel/tests/test_graphics_kernel.py`:
- Line 162: Optionally add a module-scoped pytest fixture keyed by probe class
name to cache the observation from run_probe for GraphicsBindingRefusalProbe,
then update the affected tests to consume that shared fixture while keeping
their assertions independent.
- Around line 43-58: Cache probe observations in a module-scoped fixture keyed
by probe class name so each helper app and GPU probe runs only once. In
sdk/streamlib-python-wheel/tests/test_graphics_kernel.py:43-58, adapt run_probe
and its callers accordingly; in
sdk/streamlib-python-wheel/tests/test_ray_tracing_kernel.py:43-64, apply the
same caching and keep the ray_tracing_unavailable skip decision based on the
cached observation.

Rust unused_imports lint pub(crate) use re-export

💡 Result:

The Rust compiler's unused_imports lint detects imports that are never used within the scope where they are declared [1][2]. When you use an import for re-exporting—such as with pub use or pub(crate) use—it is intended to make items available elsewhere [3][4]. If you encounter an "unused import" warning on a re-export, it often falls into one of two categories: 1. Genuine Unused Import: The import is not actually being used by any code within your crate. In this case, removing the import is the correct fix [1][2]. 2. Compiler False Positive: The compiler may incorrectly flag a re-export as unused due to limitations in how it tracks visibility or trait usage [5][6][7][8]. This is a known class of issues in the Rust compiler, particularly involving glob imports (e.g., use...::*) [5][9][7], re-exporting items that are only used transitively via traits [6][10], or edge cases where items are exported from nested modules [7][8]. Recommended actions: - Verify usage: Ensure the item is actually being used in your crate. If removing the import causes a compilation error (e.g., "not found in this scope"), the warning is a false positive [5][7][8]. - Use attributes to suppress: If you have confirmed the import is necessary for re-exporting but the compiler persists in flagging it, you can suppress the warning locally using the attribute #[allow(unused_imports)] on the specific import or the surrounding module [11][12]. - Check for updates: Because these issues are often resolved in newer versions of the Rust compiler, ensure you are using the latest stable version [5][10]. - Alternative patterns: In some cases, refactoring the import to be more explicit (e.g., naming the specific items rather than using a glob) or adjusting the visibility of the target items can resolve the warning without needing an allow attribute [6][7].

Add viewport and scissor to the draw request. create_graphics_kernel defaults to dynamic_state = "viewport_scissor", and the host rejects draws without both fields. The host does not derive them from the render area. The other field names and the empty vertex_buffers rule are correct.

Comment thread sdk/streamlib-python-wheel/src/python_processor_context.rs
The guard rejected more than one descriptor set. It did not reject a single set
numbered something other than zero — reflection keys its map by the decorated
set number, so a stage declaring only `layout(set = 1, ...)` stayed silent,
`sets.get(&0)` came back empty, and every binding in that stage was dropped
with no error. The completeness check then iterated an empty list and saw
nothing missing, so the kernel built an empty descriptor set layout against a
shader that reads set 1, and the validation layers that would catch it are
opt-in.

Reachable only through caller-supplied SPIR-V or GLSL, which is exactly what
the Python surface accepts, and every shader in the tree declares set 0 — so
nothing in the suite was covering it.

The same shape sat in five places: the shared graphics and ray-tracing derive
this change introduced, and the four compute and validator siblings it was
copied from. They are one rule, so they are now one refusal all five call,
rather than five copies that already disagreed about whether they had the bug.
Each site gets a test that builds real in-tree SPIR-V with its descriptor-set
decoration rewritten to 1.

A BLAS index past the last vertex is refused at the same time. It is undefined
behaviour with no robustness escape hatch — an indexed draw has one, an
acceleration-structure build does not — and no layer could see it, because the
index values reach the driver in device memory. The check belongs at the RHI
where every language's callers pass through, not in the wheel that surfaced it.

Each finding verified against the tree before acting — three led to fixes, one was wrong, one was
right about the defect and wrong about the layer. Pushed in 3b4b9b0.

Fixed

kernel_binding_names.rs — descriptor set 1 silently drops every binding. Correct, and the
best finding of the round. Reflection keys its map by the decorated set number, so {1: {...}} has
len() == 1, the guard stays silent, sets.get(&0) is None, and the completeness check then
iterates an empty list and sees nothing missing. The kernel builds an empty descriptor set layout
against a shader that reads set 1, and the validation layers that would catch it are opt-in
(STREAMLIB_VULKAN_VALIDATION=1).

Two corrections to the framing. It is reachable only through caller-supplied SPIR-V or GLSL — which
is exactly what the Python surface accepts (_engine.pyi:423, :450, :506) — and every shader
in the tree declares set 0, which is why 26 rig tests pass over it. And the blast radius is five
sites, not one: the same shape sits in compute_kernel.rs:239 (2026-04-28),
vulkan_compute_kernel.rs:1178 (2026-04-26, which the finding did not name),
vulkan_graphics_kernel.rs:1484 and vulkan_ray_tracing_kernel.rs:1107 (both 2026-05-03). Four
predate this branch by three to four months; this branch copied the defect into a new shared
helper.

All five now call one refuse_a_descriptor_set_other_than_set_0, because they are one rule and
five copies had already drifted. Each site has a test building real in-tree SPIR-V with its
OpDecorate ... DescriptorSet rewritten to 1, red-verified against the unfixed guard.

BLAS indices unchecked — right about the defect, wrong about the layer. It is undefined
behaviour with no robustness escape hatch (VUID-VkAccelerationStructureBuildRangeInfoKHR-vertexData-10418;
an indexed draw has one, an AS build does not), and no layer could see it because the index values
reach the driver in device memory. But a check in the wheel would be a bandaid on the consumer that
surfaced it — Rust callers reach the same builder. It went in at the RHI, before any buffer is
allocated, where every language passes through.

adapter-runtime-integration.md — two of three sub-claims held and are applied: the eight
kernel and acceleration-structure methods are Linux-only, and the CPU-readback names are
EscalateRequest operations rather than GpuContext methods.

core/rhi/mod.rs cfg gating — right that gating was missing, wrong about which symbols. All
five crate-private re-export lines (nine symbols) needed it, including the refuse_* block the
finding asserted must stay ungated. This one mattered disproportionately because the macOS
cross-compile is a stated merge gate that cannot run on this machine — iceoryx2-pal-posix's build
script dies on a missing libproc.h before reaching our crate — so it was proved with a
polarity-flipped cfg probe in a scratch worktree instead.

Not fixed

viewport/scissor on the draw request — the premise does not hold. offscreen_render
computes Viewport::full(width, height) and ScissorRect::full(...) from the render area itself
(vulkan_graphics_kernel.rs), so the host does derive them, and adding the fields to the wheel
would put a second spelling of the render area where it can drift from the host's. That is also why
test_a_python_processor_draws_through_a_graphics_kernel passes on the rig rather than being
rejected on every call.

The finding was not baseless, though: it was produced by stale wire prose — "Required when the
kernel declared dynamic_state = "viewport_scissor"; ignored otherwise"
at
escalate_request.rs:1579-1580, :1594-1595, :1677-1678 and :1682-1683. git blame puts all
four at 8458d9f (2026-08-10), so they are outside this branch and left for their owner.

Verified after

1332 engine tests (+7), 63 wheel, 48 rig conformance with requires_gpu genuinely executing,
all ten source gates, clippy and fmt and cargo doc clean, stubtest clean. The
ship-change-removed-gate remains red on exactly the two pre-existing bullets owned by open
#1778 and #1779, and on nothing else.

Two things surfaced while verifying that belong to nobody yet and are in the PR body rather than
this diff: sbt_record_offset is masked to 24 bits but never checked against the traced kernel's
shader-group count, and dynamic_state = "none" is documented as baking a 1×1 viewport when it
bakes 0×0, which rasterizes nothing.

1177-1193: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reject declared stages that have no shader module.

Line 1177 only rejects a declaration that is narrower than reflected usage. It accepts a binding declared for RAYGEN | MISS when the descriptor supplies only a ray-generation stage. Lines 1191-1193 then persist that unavailable MISS visibility.

Build an available-stage mask from descriptor.stages. Reject each spec.stages mask unless the available-stage mask contains it. Add a host-only test with a ray-generation-only descriptor and a RAYGEN | MISS binding declaration.

#1909)

The change's one ticket is #1777, merged 2026-08-18 by PR #1896, and it
declares no REMOVED bullets, so the gate has nothing to verify. Both
obligations the owner ruling created are already discharged: #1758 was
widened 2026-08-18 to cover CPU write into an acquired texture, and #1898
is filed post-MVP on Graphics Kernel Buildout for gap 1.

The fold was entirely outstanding. The change file records that "the
narrowed prose and the ADR annotation ride #1777 / PR #1896"; neither did.
PR #1896 touched only the python-kernel-surface change file, and PR #1897
landed this change file plus one header line. So until this commit the
plan's own decision source promised Python "reaches every GPU capability
Rust authoring reaches" — five days after the owner narrowed it — and the
ADR that owns the decision read unannotated.

Applied as the change wrote them, paste-ready:

- §Graphics' parity entry narrows to every kernel *kind*, with the two
  gaps a Python processor cannot reach named inside the entry where the
  claim is read: vertex and index buffers with indexed draws, and storage-
  and uniform-buffer bindings. Both undesigned.
- §Graphics' trailing OPEN entry names gaps 2 and 4 — depth attachments
  and MSAA — which are unbuilt in every language rather than Python-reach
  gaps, so they land in OPEN and not in the DECIDED entry.
- The ADR's decision 1 is annotated in place, not overwritten, per the
  docs-policy supersession form. Its differentiator claim survives
  unnarrowed: being a proxy to Rust-powered GPU work claims a
  relationship, not a surface area.

The two markers the change commissions are CI-runnable and were run:
both pass in 0.02s with no GPU.

§Graphics stays IN-FLIGHT with no arrow — no live change drives it, and it
cannot flip while its last [python-kernel-api] entry, the Rust
bindings-at-dispatch convergence, is unbuilt and has no change file.

No diagram edit is owed, re-verified rather than assumed: system.mmd's
kernel references are neither kind- nor capability-scoped.
