feat(client): support the engine's pinned revision - #656
Conversation
WalkthroughThe model cache now supports revision-aware Hugging Face downloads. Metadata installation validates server-confirmed revisions, prefetch state tracks revisions, snapshots record revision-specific refs, and commit-pinned snapshots resolve directly without relying on ChangesRevision-aware model cache
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to Revision pinning and cache-reference handling are validated, while the remaining concern is limited to redundant in-process bookkeeping with no user-visible correctness impact. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks. Poem

The engine's revision reached the prefetch and stopped there: it was logged as a mismatch, never sent. The server answered with its default revision, the snapshot landed under that commit, and the engine's own lookup -- which asks for the revision it was configured with -- found nothing and failed under HF_HUB_OFFLINE. Ask the server for the revision the engine wants. What lands on disk is then shaped by how the engine will look it up rather than by what the server answered: snapshots/<commit>/ always, plus refs/<revision> when the requested revision is not the commit hash itself. That is the rule huggingface_hub applies to its own cache -- a lowercase 40-hex resolves by directory name, anything else resolves through refs -- so branches, tags and uppercase hashes work without a second mechanism. The ref belongs to the request rather than to the snapshot, so it is recorded on the reuse path too. A commit installed under its own hash correctly leaves no ref behind, and a later request for a branch resolving to that same commit would otherwise reuse the directory and leave the engine unable to resolve one sitting complete on disk. A pinned install leaves refs/main alone. The default revision is a different question, and answering it with a pin would misdirect every later unpinned resolution sharing the cache. Reuse of a pinned snapshot looks at snapshots/<commit>/ directly, for the same reason. Only the first call of a phase carries the engine's string; the manifest and the stream carry the commit the server resolved it to, so a tag that moves mid-phase cannot answer them from two different commits. A server that confirms no revision fails the install rather than quietly serving its default. _warn_on_revision_mismatch goes away with the limitation it described. The in-process install record is keyed by revision as well as repo id, so a second revision of one model is a second install. Part of ai-dynamo#569. Signed-off-by: scyda <chenyang.shi@daocloud.io>

on the unpinned path this ends up rewriting a ref that's already correct. resolve_snapshot only returns non-None when read_main_ref() == expected_commit, so by the time we're here main already holds this value, and write_revision_ref -> write_main_ref -> write_ref does a temp file, an fsync, a rename and a directory fsync to land identical bytes.
the pinned path isn't the same - write_revision_ref does skip when requested_revision == commit_hash, and a genuinely new alias is a real write. so this is only about the unpinned reuse case. probably worth an early return when the ref already reads the same hash?

now that refs are published under refs/, a slash-bearing revision makes this a nested path, and safe_relative_path deliberately allows slashes so refs/pr/1 works. that leaves file-vs-directory collisions unhandled: if refs/foo already exists as a file and something later writes foo/bar, _ensure_directory's mkdir raises FileExistsError, and in the other order os.replace raises "Is a directory" on refs/foo.
both propagate as raw OSError out of install_metadata_snapshot rather than ModelSnapshotError, so a caller catching the library's own error type won't see it. test_rejects_unsafe_ref_names covers ../escape, /abs, "" and a/../b but not this case.
not sure how reachable it is in practice - depends whether a repo can have a branch foo and a branch foo/bar at once, which git does allow. up to you whether it's worth guarding.

_installed and _revision_snapshots have the same key domain, are added together at 99-101, cleared together at 148-149, and there's no path that touches one without the other. the only read of _installed at line 89 is equivalent to testing membership in _revision_snapshots, so _installed looks droppable.
_snapshot_to_repo_id is keyed differently and serves repo_id_for, so that one earns its keep.
Snapshot reuse asked write_ref to land bytes the ref already held: resolve_snapshot matches only when refs/main points at the commit, so reuse arrives with nothing to change and still paid a temp file, two fsyncs and a rename. It now returns early when the ref reads the same hash. A revision is written under the name the engine asked for, and that tree is flatter than git's: a tag foo and a branch foo/bar coexist upstream but cannot both be refs/foo here. Left to the filesystem the clash surfaced as a bare OSError -- FileExistsError from mkdir one way, "Is a directory" from os.replace the other -- which a caller catching ModelSnapshotError never saw. The names are checked against the layout before the write, rather than converting OSError wholesale and hiding a full disk behind the cache's own error type. _installed carried no information _revision_snapshots did not; its only read was a membership test on the same key.

Summary
Part of #569 — adds pinned-revision support to the server-cache metadata fallback.
The engine's
revisionpreviously reached the prefetch hook but stopped there. The server returned its default revision, while the engine later looked up the revision it had requested and failed offline withLocalEntryNotFoundError.This change preserves the requested revision through the client pipeline:
EnsureModelDownloadedreceives the engine's revision.ListModelFilesandStreamModelFilesreceive the immutable commit resolved by the server, preventing a moving branch or tag from mixing commits mid-phase.Cache layout
snapshots/<commit>/+refs/mainsnapshots/<commit>/, no refsnapshots/<commit>/+refs/<requested revision>This follows
huggingface_hub's cache rule: a lowercase full commit SHA resolves directly by snapshot directory; other revision strings resolve throughrefs/.The ref belongs to the request, not the snapshot. Therefore it is also written when an existing snapshot is reused: a commit previously installed under its own SHA has no ref, but a later branch or uppercase-SHA request resolving to that commit still needs one for offline resolution.
Pins other than
mainleaverefs/mainuntouched, so installing an older revision cannot redirect later unpinned resolution. An explicitrevision=maincorrectly updatesrefs/main, because that is the ref Hugging Face uses to resolve that branch.The in-process prefetch record is now keyed by
(repo_id, revision), so requests for two revisions of the same model do not reuse each other's snapshot._warn_on_revision_mismatchis removed: the client can now request the revision instead of only warning that it cannot.Not in scope:
MX_MODEL_REVISIONremains a P2P source-identity label. It accepts arbitrary strings and does not select or pin a Hugging Face revision; use the engine's own revision setting for that.Validation
