`obol sell inference` was producing ServiceOffers with three latent defects that together stopped /.well-known/agent-registration.json from ever being routed for inference-typed sells: 1. The inference subcommand never exposed `--register-*` flags (compare with `obol sell http` which does), even though the help text on `--register` says "registration is enabled by default". 2. `buildInferenceServiceOfferSpec` never wrote `spec.registration` onto the offer at all, so the controller's `reconcileRegistrationStatus` saw `Enabled=false` (zero value) and emitted `Registered=True Disabled` with no RegistrationRequest CR and no /.well-known HTTPRoute. 3. `buildInferenceServiceOfferSpec` hardcoded `spec.model.name = "ollama"` regardless of the actual `--model` value, so anything downstream that keyed off the model id (the controller's description default included) was looking at the wrong string. Surfaced today on spark2 while trying to fetch `https://inference.v1337.org/.well-known/agent-registration.json` — got the Traefik fall-through 404. Manual `kubectl patch` enabled registration, exposed a fourth defect: 4. `buildActiveRegistrationDocument` in the serviceoffer-controller unconditionally overwrote `Spec.Registration.Description` for inference offers with `"<model.name> inference via x402 micropayments"`, even when the operator had supplied an explicit description at sell time. This PR fixes all four: - Add `--no-register`, `--register-name`, `--register-description`, `--register-image`, `--register-skills`, `--register-domains`, `--register-metadata` to `obol sell inference`. - Rename `sellHTTPRegistrationInput` / `buildSellHTTPRegistrationConfig` to the unqualified `sellRegistrationInput` / `buildSellRegistrationConfig` since they now serve both inference and http call sites. - Extend `buildInferenceServiceOfferSpec` to accept the resolved model name and the registration block, write `spec.model.name = <real model id>`, and merge the registration block into `spec.registration` when non-empty. - In the controller's `buildActiveRegistrationDocument`, only fall back to the model-aware description string when the operator left `Spec.Registration.Description` empty. Tests that would have caught the regression earlier: - `TestSellInference_Flags` now requires the six registration flags; their absence on `main` was the bug. - `TestBuildInferenceServiceOfferSpec_RegistrationEnabledByDefault` pins that defaults produce `spec.registration.enabled = true` and the offer name as `spec.registration.name`. - `TestBuildInferenceServiceOfferSpec_NoRegisterOmitsRegistration` pins the `--no-register` opt-out. - `TestBuildInferenceServiceOfferSpec_OperatorOverridesWin` pins that operator-supplied name/description/image/skills/domains all survive into the spec verbatim. - `TestBuildInferenceServiceOfferSpec_ModelNameNotHardcoded` pins that `spec.model.name` reflects `--model`, not the historical "ollama" literal. - `TestBuildActiveRegistrationDocument_KeepsOperatorDescription` pins the controller-side fix: an operator description survives the buildActiveRegistrationDocument pass. - `TestBuildActiveRegistrationDocument_FallsBackToModelDescriptionForInference` pins the other branch — inference offers with no operator description still get the model-aware default, not the generic one. Drive-by: `TestSellInference_Flags` was failing on `main` after #470 removed the `--price` default but didn't update the corresponding assertion. Updated to assert `--price` default = "" with a comment explaining the contract.
The first revision of #485 stopped at "produce a ServiceOffer with a populated spec.registration block". That made /.well-known/agent-registration.json get routed, but left the offer in Registered=False AwaitingExternalRegistration until someone manually ran `obol sell register`. The serviceoffer-controller's storefront filter (buildServiceCatalogJSON in render.go) requires Ready=True, which transitively requires Registered=True, so the offer was silently excluded from /api/services.json — the very feed the operator's own storefront UI consumes. obol sell http already auto-registers on the same code path. Mirror that here so the inference path reaches the same end state without a follow-up obol sell register step. Changes: - Extract shouldAutoRegisterSell(spec, tunnelURL) as the shared decision predicate. The same gate now drives both the http and inference auto-register call sites; defensively returns false when the registration block is missing, disabled, malformed, or the tunnel URL is empty. - sellInferenceCommand Action: after kubectlApply + EnsureTunnelForSell succeed, if shouldAutoRegisterSell says yes, call autoRegisterServiceOffer with the resolved name/description/wallet pulled from the spec. Surface failures as warnings + a re-run hint rather than aborting the gateway start, because the underlying call needs gas on the target chain and we do not want a one-off RPC hiccup to block local dev. Test coverage that would have caught the regression: - TestShouldAutoRegisterSell - table-driven over six scenarios including the defensive cases (registration not a map, registration.enabled not a bool). Both call sites use the helper. - TestSellInferenceAction_InvokesAutoRegister - source-level guard that scans the sellInferenceCommand body for shouldAutoRegisterSell and autoRegisterServiceOffer. The bug we just fixed was "Action calls neither"; an innocent refactor could remove the calls without any unit-level signal otherwise. Operational note: the agent's remote-signer wallet needs a small ETH balance on the target chain (~0.20-0.50 USD typical) for the on-chain register tx. If the wallet is unfunded the warning fires and the offer stays in AwaitingExternalRegistration; the operator can fund the wallet and re-run obol sell register to finish.
…straint) The autoRegisterServiceOffer pre-flight check rejected any registration whose signer didn't match the offer's payTo wallet: registration signer 0xA... does not match the payment wallet 0xB... Use a matching signer, omit --wallet so the remote-signer wallet is used, or pass --no-register The error wording read like an ERC-8004 limitation but isn't. ERC-8004 treats the agent OWNER (msg.sender at register time) and the agent WALLET (settable post-mint via setAgentWallet) as independent addresses. x402 settlement honors the offer's spec.payment.payTo directly — buyers pay that address regardless of what the registry's getAgentWallet returns. The "hot signer, cold/multisig payee" split is the canonical pattern. The historic guard existed because the obol CLI never exposed setAgentWallet, so a mismatched registration left operators with no in-CLI recovery path. This change instead surfaces the split as an informational note + adds `obol sell update <name> --pay-to <new>` as the recovery surface (already in tree; just needed test coverage and the connection wired into the diagnostic). Changes: - signerPayeeDelegationNote(signer, payTo) returns a human-readable note when the two diverge (case-insensitive, whitespace-tolerant, empty on either side) and "" otherwise. Used by autoRegisterServiceOffer instead of the previous early-return. - buildSellUpdatePatch(payTo, chain, price) extracted from the inline sellUpdateCommand Action so the patch shape — the thing that actually hits the cluster — is testable without a live offer. Action calls the helper instead of inlining the same logic. Tests: - TestSignerPayeeDelegationNote — 6-case table: match, case-insensitive, whitespace, empty payTo, empty signer (defensive), true mismatch (assertions name the addresses + advise sell update). - TestAutoRegister_AllowsSignerPayeeMismatch — source-level guard asserting the banned error wording is gone from autoRegisterServiceOffer and the soft-notice path is wired. Anyone re-introducing the check has to delete this test too, which forces them to read the rationale. - TestBuildSellUpdatePatch_PayToOnly — `obol sell update <name> --pay-to 0xBooB` builds a patch that touches only spec.payment.payTo, not network or price. - TestBuildSellUpdatePatch_PriceSwitchNullsOldKeys — table over perRequest/perMTok/perHour: the unused keys are explicitly null so a switch (e.g. perRequest → perMTok) doesn't leave the previous key fighting through merge semantics. - TestBuildSellUpdatePatch_NoFieldsErrors — error fires when no fields are set, and the error names the flags the operator should pass. - TestSellUpdate_PayToFlagSurface — `obol sell update` exposes --pay-to (with --wallet/--recipient/-w aliases via payToFlag), and --namespace is Required.
Closes the "cluster comes back but the seller offers don't" gap. After `obol stack down` destroys the k3d cluster, all ServiceOffer custom resources are wiped from etcd. The descriptors on disk at ~/.workspace/config/inference/<name>/ survive, but nothing replays them when the cluster comes back, so operators had to manually re-run `obol sell inference <name>` for every offer after every stack up. This wires a resume step into `obol stack up`: after stack.Up returns successfully, the action iterates inference.Store, rebuilds the Service+Endpoints+ServiceOffer for each persisted deployment from the on-disk descriptor, and kubectl-applies them. The foreground host gateway is NOT auto-started — it is an interactive operator action and stack-up shouldn't launch long-running processes — but the cluster side is fully reattached so the operator's eventual `obol sell inference <name>` rerun hits a "service already healthy" reconcile instead of "build from scratch." Storage model: - inference.Deployment gains ModelName, ServiceNamespace, and Registration fields, persisted with `omitempty` so legacy descriptors written by older binaries still load (the new fields come back as zero values; the resume path either defaults sensibly or refuses with an actionable message). - The inference Action now resolves the registration block once and passes the same map to both store.Create() and the in-process ServiceOffer apply — guaranteeing on-disk state matches what the cluster sees. Resume path: - resumeSellOffers(ctx, cfg, u): lists inference.Store, skips when no kubeconfig (no cluster yet), warns + continues per-offer on errors. - resumeOneInferenceOffer: createHostService + buildInferenceServiceOfferSpec + kubectlApply, no foreground process. Returns an actionable error on missing ModelName so legacy descriptors surface a clear "recreate the offer" prompt rather than producing a broken ServiceOffer. - Wired from cmd/obol/main.go's `stack up` Action after stack.Up. A resume failure is logged as a warning, not propagated — stack-up must succeed even if one descriptor is malformed. Tests: - TestStoreCreate_PersistsResumeFields: pins ModelName, ServiceNamespace, and Registration round-trip through JSON. Without this round-trip, the resume path silently loses operator customizations. - TestStoreCreate_LegacyDescriptorWithoutResumeFields: pins backwards-compatibility — a JSON written by an older binary still loads, with the new fields as zero values. - TestResumeSellOffers_EmptyStoreNoOp: empty store, resume returns nil. - TestResumeSellOffers_DescriptorPresentButNoCluster: descriptor on disk, kubeconfig absent (post-purge, pre-up state) — resume must skip cleanly. - TestResumeOneInferenceOffer_RequiresModelName: legacy descriptor with empty ModelName surfaces an actionable error naming the missing field and the recovery command. - TestResumeOneInferenceOffer_NilDescriptor: defensive nil/empty descriptor guard so one bad entry can't crash the loop. - TestStackUpAction_CallsResumeSellOffers: source-level guard that cmd/obol/main.go's `stack up` Action calls resumeSellOffers AFTER stack.Up. Pinning the order — running resume before stack.Up would see no kubeconfig and skip every offer silently. Operational note: `obol sell http` offers don't yet have an on-disk descriptor (only `obol sell inference` persists), so they aren't covered by this resume pass. Filed as a follow-up — adding a parallel manifest store for `sell http` plus a third resume branch is its own PR.
…ont filter
The first cut of stack-up resume (prior commit) reattached cluster-side
artifacts but stopped short of two things that together left the
operator's storefront empty after every stack-up cycle:
1. The foreground x402 gateway never restarted, so UpstreamHealthy=False.
2. Even after a manual gateway restart, the controller's storefront
filter required Ready=True — which itself requires Registered=True
— and an unfunded agent wallet (or a deliberate "register later"
choice) leaves Registered=False AwaitingExternalRegistration. The
operationally-usable offer was invisible to the operator's own UI.
Both addressed here so `obol stack up` is the only command needed.
1. Auto-start the gateway as a detached host subprocess:
- startDetachedInferenceGateway reconstructs the original
`obol sell inference <name> --model … --register-* …` invocation
from the persisted inference.Deployment and spawns it with
Setsid + Process.Release so it survives the parent's exit.
- PID + log path live under <StateDir>/sell-inference/<name>/.
readGatewayPID + processAlive let subsequent stack-ups detect a
still-running gateway and skip the relaunch.
- Surfaced via a u.Successf with the PID + log path so operators can
`tail -f` or `kill $(cat .pid)` without parsing helpers.
- sell_proc_unix.go isolates the platform-specific SysProcAttr
behind the unix build tag, keeping the rest of the code portable.
The long-term shape is to ship the inference gateway as a real
helm-managed cluster Pod (it would survive stack-down/up like every
other infra piece, and the controller could observe it as a
first-class workload). Comment in startDetachedInferenceGateway
spells that out so the next person looking at this knows the host
subprocess + PID-file plumbing is the deliberate near-term step,
not the final form.
2. Relax the storefront filter:
- offerOperationallyReady = ModelReady + UpstreamHealthy +
PaymentGateReady + RoutePublished. Registered is intentionally
NOT in the AND — on-chain ERC-8004 registration is publication
metadata, not operational readiness. Aggregate Ready=True is
also accepted as a shortcut so existing test fixtures and any
external callers that only emit the aggregate signal still work.
- offerAwaitingRegistration flags
Registered=False AwaitingExternalRegistration specifically, and
buildServiceCatalogJSON propagates it as
ServiceCatalogEntry.RegistrationPending=true so storefront UIs
can badge "registration pending" alongside the usable offer.
Tests:
- TestBuildResumeGatewayArgs (3 cases): full descriptor incl.
registration map, --no-register path, legacy descriptor with no
Registration map. Pins positional-name-before-flags ordering so a
CLI surface tweak can't silently desync the resume relaunch.
- TestReadGatewayPID (8 cases): clean integer, trailing newline,
surrounding whitespace, zero rejected, negative rejected,
non-numeric rejected, empty rejected, missing-file rejected.
Format is one decimal int in ASCII so external tooling
(`kill $(cat .pid)`) works without parsing.
- TestProcessAlive_SelfAndBogus: self is alive, absurd PID is not.
- TestOfferOperationallyReady_IncludesAwaitingExternalRegistration:
the headline behavioral fix — an offer with all four ops conditions
True + Registered=False(AwaitingExternalRegistration) is
operationally ready.
- TestOfferOperationallyReady_RejectsRealNotReady: an offer with
UpstreamHealthy=False is still excluded — the relax is narrow to
the registration gate only.
- TestBuildServiceCatalogJSON_IncludesPendingRegistrationOffers:
end-to-end through /api/services.json — AwaitingExternalRegistration
offers appear with RegistrationPending=true.
- TestBuildServiceCatalogJSON_RegistrationPendingFalseForFullyReady:
the negative — fully Ready=True offers must NOT carry
RegistrationPending or the storefront badge would stick around on
healthy offers.
Operational footnote: the auto-spawned gateway picks up the same
inference.Deployment that originally created the offer. If the
descriptor predates this PR and has no ModelName, the resume per-offer
warning fires (already pinned by TestResumeOneInferenceOffer_RequiresModelName
in the prior commit) — recreate the offer once with the new code so
the descriptor has the resume-side fields, after which every
subsequent stack down/up cycle reattaches the offer with zero extra
commands.
Surfaced during the live spark2 walkthrough of the prior commit: 1. Gateway PID printed as -1. cmd.Process.Release() on Unix sets p.Pid to -1 as part of its handle teardown, so reading cmd.Process.Pid AFTER Release prints a bogus -1 to the operator and pins -1 in the PID file. Snapshot the PID before the Release call. 2. Stale "Host gateways are not auto-started" footer. Carried over from the pre-auto-spawn version of the resume function. With the gateway now auto-spawned, the message is misleading. Replaced with a pointer to the gateway log path so operators can `tail -f` immediately. 3. /skill.md catalog used the strict Ready=True filter while /api/services.json used the new operationally-ready filter. The two surfaces should stay consistent — an offer that's usable for x402 payments shows up in BOTH the storefront feed and the operator- facing skill catalog. Switched buildSkillCatalogMarkdown to the same offerOperationallyReady predicate. No new tests; the existing TestOfferOperationallyReady_* / catalog tests cover the filter relax for both call sites since they share the predicate. The PID-reading order is a one-line semantic fix; the footer wording isn't worth a test.

Summary
Closes the "cluster comes back but the seller offers don't" gap that bit us on spark2: after
obol stack downdestroys the k3d cluster, allServiceOfferCRs are wiped from etcd while the on-disk descriptors at~/.workspace/config/inference/<name>/survive. Nothing replayed them, so operators had to re-runobol sell inference <name>for every offer after every stack up.This wires a resume step into
obol stack up. Afterstack.Upreturns, the action iteratesinference.Store, rebuilds theService+Endpoints+ServiceOfferfor each persisted deployment, andkubectl applys them.The foreground host gateway is NOT auto-started — that's an interactive operator action and
obol stack upshouldn't launch long-running processes. But the cluster side is fully reattached, so the operator's eventualobol sell inference <name>rerun hits a "service already healthy" reconcile path instead of building everything from scratch.Why this PR depends on #485
inference.Deploymentgains three new fields (ModelName,ServiceNamespace,Registration) that have to be populated at offer-creation time, and the populating happens in the inference Action that #485 introduces (buildSellRegistrationConfig+ the--register-*flag handling). Rebasing this onto main once #485 lands is a no-op; before that it compiles only on top of #485.Behaviour matrix
