RAVE v0.2.1

Highlights

This patch release hardens strict-mode guarantees, improves loader reliability on Linux/WSL, and stabilizes non-GPU CI behavior while preserving existing runtime behavior for normal profiles.

What Changed

Strict policy and validation hardening

  • Centralized strict profile wiring so production_strict behavior is consistent across command paths.
  • Added policy snapshot output for upscale, benchmark, and validate (additive JSON fields only).
  • Enforced determinism policy in strict mode: required hash paths now fail clearly when unavailable.
  • Enforced strict no-host-copies capability: strict mode fails fast if host-copy auditing is disabled/unavailable.

No-host-copies and pipeline boundary auditing

  • Added stage-level no-host-copies sentinel checks across decode/preprocess/inference/encode boundaries.
  • Added stable audit status/reason reporting in validation output.

Config guardrails

  • Added shared batch-config validation and fail-fast behavior for unsupported micro-batching.
  • max_batch > 1 is now rejected with actionable messaging until micro-batching is implemented.

Linux/WSL loader robustness

  • Included validate in Linux ORT loader re-exec gating.
  • Centralized re-exec gate logic with unit tests.
  • Refactored ORT provider directory resolution into testable logic with improved diagnostics.

Link/load stability for non-GPU builders

  • Removed hard CUDA link-time assumptions in CLI/core/cuda paths by runtime-loading CUDA driver symbols where needed.
  • Added CI-safe strict validation path on non-GPU runners using mock mode.

FFmpeg state-machine hardening

  • Added deterministic permutation/property tests for BSF EAGAIN/EOF/flush-drain handling.
  • Fixed clippy issues in new permutation tests.

Dependency and process hygiene

  • Tightened crate boundary policy (check_deps) by removing unused allowed edges.
  • Added unsafe-boundary audit checklist and opt-in sanitizer workflow.
  • Restored executable bits for docs/deps check scripts used in CI.

CI/Tooling updates

  • Ubuntu CI now installs required FFmpeg development packages.
  • Strict validate fixture runs with audit-no-host-copies enabled.
  • Added publishing helper script and release wiring for crate version 0.2.1.

Published crates (0.2.1)

  • rave-core
  • rave-cuda
  • rave-ffmpeg
  • rave-nvcodec
  • rave-tensorrt
  • rave-pipeline
  • rave-cli

Notes

  • production_strict is intentionally stricter and may fail where earlier builds tolerated degraded paths.
  • Non-strict/default profile behavior remains unchanged.
