Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Updated default network binding to use the machine’s hostname instead of localhost, including on macOS. This makes host-based addressing the default across platforms, improving connectivity and access from other devices.
    • Enhances consistency in how the application determines and applies the host option during startup, reducing cases where services were only reachable via localhost.
    • No changes to public APIs.

Walkthrough

Adjusts interface_bootup hostname selection: removes the Darwin-specific default that favored localhost, and introduces a non-Darwin default setting hostname_localhost to False. This causes --host with the actual hostname to be appended more broadly, including on macOS. No public APIs changed; other logic remains as before.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Interactive bootup hostname handling
executorlib/standalone/interactive/communication.py
Modified defaulting logic for hostname_localhost: removed Darwin-only localhost default; now sets hostname_localhost=False when sys.platform != "darwin", making the --host <hostname> path the common default, including on macOS. No signature changes.

Poem

I twitch my whiskers, flip a flag,
From Mac to others, hosts unbag.
No longer snug in localhost’s burrow,
We hop to names the sockets furrow.
A quiet tweak, a wider roam—
I sniff the air and call it “home.” 🐇🌐

148-155: Docstring contradicts behavior and is confusing; clarify semantics and macOS note.

The current text suggests macOS requires hostname_localhost=True, but the code defaults to hostname-based on macOS as well. Also, using localhost cannot work for multi-node allocations. Please align the documentation.

Apply:

-        hostname_localhost (boolean): use localhost instead of the hostname to establish the zmq connection. In the
-                                      context of an HPC cluster this essential to be able to communicate to an
-                                      Executor running on a different compute node within the same allocation. And
-                                      in principle any computer should be able to resolve that their own hostname
-                                      points to the same address as localhost. Still MacOS >= 12 seems to disable
-                                      this look up for security reasons. So on MacOS it is required to set this
-                                      option to true
+        hostname_localhost (bool | None):
+            If True, force localhost (127.0.0.1).
+            If False, pass the machine hostname via ``--host``.
+            If None (default), it is treated as False on all platforms.
+            Notes:
+            - Use True only when the client runs on the same node as the server. For multi-node allocations
+              (MPI/SLURM/Flux), leave this False or provide an explicit host so workers on other nodes can reach it.
+            - On macOS 12+, short hostnames may not resolve to loopback by design. Using the hostname (default)
+              is correct; set this to True only to force loopback for local-only setups.
🧹 Nitpick comments (1)
executorlib/standalone/interactive/communication.py (1)

165-168: Consider robustness of hostname value across clusters.

Some clusters require FQDN or an IP to be reachable from other nodes. Using socket.getfqdn() (or resolving to IP via socket.gethostbyname(socket.getfqdn())) can be more robust than gethostname().

Example:

-from socket import gethostname
+import socket
...
-            gethostname(),
+            socket.getfqdn(),

If name resolution is flaky, consider resolving to an IP instead:

host = socket.gethostbyname(socket.getfqdn())
command_lst += ["--host", host]
