TL;DR

NVCT's async instance-scheduling path (task QUEUED/LAUNCHED -> ERRORED via the scheduled monitor routines) was reporting the internal implementation string No corresponding ICMS request-id(s) found / No corresponding ICMS instances found in healthInfo.error whenever ICMS reported no instance for a task after the grace period. This branch most commonly fires when the cluster ran out of capacity before ICMS could place the instance, but the caller had no way to tell that apart from a genuine scheduler fault.

Additional Details (optional for docs, build, test, refactor, ci, chore, style, and revert PRs)

The synchronous task-create path already returns a clear, actionable capacity error ("There are no available clusters with capacity for X GPU or Y instance type") when capacity is checked at accept-time. The asynchronous path, which discovers the failure later via polling, instead hardcoded an internal ICMS-lookup string with no diagnostic value.

This change:

  • Adds a shared getNoInstanceProvisionedErrorMessage() helper in CommonRoutineService that builds a caller-facing message describing what NVCT observed ("No instance could be provisioned for this task before timing out (commonly caused by cluster capacity exhaustion); gpu=..., instanceType=..., backend=...").
  • Uses it in both MonitorQueuedTasksRoutine and MonitorLaunchedTasksRoutine, which had the identical defect pattern.
  • Keeps the internal ICMS detail out of the caller-facing field entirely; it remains available in internal debug logs only.
  • The wording is intentionally hedged ("commonly caused by") rather than asserting capacity as certain fact, since a narrow set of other conditions (e.g. a request that never reached ICMS) can still land in this branch and would be mislabeled by an unqualified capacity message.

This is a reporting-only change: no scheduling, capacity, or timing behavior is modified.

For the Reviewer

Please look closely at:

  • CommonRoutineService.java - new shared message helper
  • MonitorQueuedTasksRoutine.java / MonitorLaunchedTasksRoutine.java - the transitionToErroredWhenNoIcmsRequestsFound methods

For QA (optional for docs, build, test, refactor, ci, chore, style, and revert PRs)

  • Added testNoIcmsInstancesFoundRun in both MonitorQueuedTasksRoutineTest and MonitorLaunchedTasksRoutineTest, which previously had no coverage of this exact branch (a similarly-named existing test exercises a different terminal-instance-state branch). New tests assert the message mentions "capacity exhaustion" and does not contain "ICMS request-id".
  • Verified via bazel test //src/control-plane-services/cloud-tasks/nvct-core:tests (full nvct-core suite, including the new tests): passes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved error reporting when no compute instance is provisioned after the waiting period.
    • Task status updates and events now include GPU, instance type, and backend details.
    • Queued and launched tasks correctly transition to an errored state with capacity-exhaustion information when provisioning fails.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for queued and launched tasks that remain without provisioned instances, including status, health details, and emitted event messages.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a shared GPU-specific provisioning timeout message. Queued and launched task monitors use it when ICMS returns no instances after the grace period. Integration tests verify errored status, health errors, events, and absent ICMS request IDs.

Provisioning timeout error reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared provisioning error message
src/control-plane-services/cloud-tasks/nvct-core/src/main/java/com/nvidia/nvct/service/scheduler/CommonRoutineService.java
Adds a public formatter for provisioning timeout errors. The message includes GPU, instance type, and backend details.
Launched task timeout handling
src/control-plane-services/cloud-tasks/nvct-core/src/main/java/com/nvidia/nvct/service/scheduler/MonitorLaunchedTasksRoutine.java, src/control-plane-services/cloud-tasks/nvct-core/src/test/java/com/nvidia/nvct/service/scheduler/MonitorLaunchedTasksRoutineTest.java
Uses the formatted error when no ICMS instance appears after the grace period. Tests verify the errored status, capacity-exhaustion health error, event message, and absent ICMS request ID.
Queued task timeout handling
src/control-plane-services/cloud-tasks/nvct-core/src/main/java/com/nvidia/nvct/service/scheduler/MonitorQueuedTasksRoutine.java, src/control-plane-services/cloud-tasks/nvct-core/src/test/java/com/nvidia/nvct/service/scheduler/MonitorQueuedTasksRoutineTest.java
Uses the formatted error when a queued task has no ICMS instance after the grace period. Tests verify the errored status, capacity-exhaustion health error, event message, and absent ICMS request ID.
