Refactor: Region adopts canonical Buffer identity - #2198
Conversation
- Add BackendKind.VMM_SHAREABLE=6 with DEVICE-only 24-byte body validation - Add a module-private 88-byte fieldwise BufferDescriptor wire codec - Add private _wrap_vmm_shareable() that uses a supplied identity
- Freeze local HOST/AICPU/AICORE nonces and an AICPU-only allocator - Materialize Provider parts as POSIX_SHM or VMM_SHAREABLE Buffers - Encode DRCT allocate replies as two canonical descriptors - Admit consumers through pair/runtime checks and typed attachments

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This change migrates region backing to canonical buffer descriptors with endpoint-owned identities. Several provider unit tests were not updated to the new constructor and descriptor surface, so that test module cannot run as written. Beyond tests, a malformed allocation reply can surface as an untyped error, a failed cleanup during import rollback can leave a mapping open while the region is reported closed, and device endpoint identities minted after a fork can diverge and cause legitimate region imports to be rejected. These should be addressed before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Convert RegionExportDescriptor construction failures into a typed RegionControlError.
RegionExportDescriptor.__post_init__ calls _require_counter_logical_bytes(self.counter.nbytes) (python/simpler/comm_provider.py Line 381), which raises a bare ValueError. A reply frame whose counter descriptor carries nbytes of zero or a value that is not a multiple of 4 therefore escapes this decoder as an untyped ValueError.
Every other malformed-field path in _decode_allocate_reply raises RegionControlError with INVALID_FIELD_VALUE. _decode_local_view already applies the intended pattern at Lines 1324-1330. A caller that catches RegionControlError to classify a malformed reply misses this case.
Wrap the construction in the same way.

Make import rollback exception-safe.
If _close_native_lease(counter_lease) or _payload_attachment.close() raises, this handler stops before it completes the remaining cleanup. The outer abort cannot access the raw counter_lease. A failed attachment close is also treated as complete because _RegionPartAttachment.close() sets _closed before calling the native closer.
The provider release can then succeed and mark the instance CLOSED while an imported mapping remains open. Attempt every cleanup operation independently. Preserve cleanup failures so _abort_materialization records the cleanup debt and poisons the worker.

Preserve device endpoint identities across next-level forks.
When an L4+ Worker materializes a delegated region through a next-level child, _append_endpoint_topology() can mint the child’s device nonce on the dormant parent copy. The live child instead passes its independently minted aicpu_owner_instance_id to ProviderRegionStore, which uses it for exported BufferDescriptor identities. validate_committed_region_allocation() then calls _require_exact_provider_owner() against the registry’s dormant-copy nonce and can raise RuntimeError("BufferDescriptor owner is not the admitted Provider"). Propagate parent-frozen device identities through each next-level fork and reuse them in _ensure_local_device_endpoint_identities(), as _owner_instance_id does.

Summary
This refactor puts Region backing parts on the same canonical Buffer
identity as the rest of the repo. It is stacked on #2194 and must rebase onto
mainafter that change merges.#2194 only added the substrate:
BackendKind.VMM_SHAREABLE, theprivate 88-byte fieldwise codec, and private
_wrap_vmm_shareable().This change is the Region cutover: each PAYLOAD and COUNTER backing
becomes a canonical Buffer, and every Buffer owner identity is resolved
through the same endpoint nonce and
EndpointRegistry. Region stays thedual-part protocol object; it is not a third memory-resource type.
The public Region / worker-chip call shape is unchanged:
Worker._create_worker_chip_region(...)/Orchestrator.create_worker_chip_region(...)Why This Exists
Region already had a complete PAYLOAD/COUNTER lifecycle, but the two
backings used a private resource language
(
RegionPartExportDescriptor+ImportCapability) next to the repo'scanonical
CanonicalIdentity + BufferDescriptor + BackendKindmodel.That split gave the same physical memory two identities, two
descriptors, and two cleanup stories. The target shape is:
The two Buffers have independent identities. Ownership and release stay
with the Region.
provider_resource_id, the delegated-regiontransaction id, and the two Buffer identities remain three orthogonal
namespaces.
What This Lands
Local endpoint identity and allocator startup:
per-incarnation nonce
does not remint after
init()allocator only for AICPU
has_buffer_identity_allocatoris a startupfact, not a public
EndpointRecordfield and not aBufferCapabilityowner_instance_id=None/ allocator unknownProvider adoption of canonical Buffer:

effect
materialize(identity, diagnostics) -> BufferPOSIX_SHM; ONBOARD actual backend isVMM_SHAREABLEVMM_SHAREABLEand staysenvironment-unaware; SIM lowering does not rewrite
AttachmentPlanbase/nbytes/ export facts come only from theBuffer; allocation remains the one-shot physical cleanup ledger
Delegated-region allocate reply v2:

READWRITE,generation == 1, differentidentities, one owner nonce, and
registry.owner_endpoint(nonce)equal to the admitted Provider
unchanged
Consumer typed attachment:
_RegionPartAttachment(part, descriptor, native_lease); identityis derived from the descriptor
Bufferand does not mintidentity
namespace, granularity, mapping span, and COUNTER 64-byte alignment
first attachment, then sends one Provider release
session-fatal and does not rebind an old descriptor
Focused tests updated in
test_comm_region.py,test_worker_chip_orch_comm.py, andtest_worker_chip_message_queue.pycover allocator tri-state refusal, wrong owner, stale epoch, typed
attachment identity, and second-import rollback.
Breaking Change
Parent and child must come from the same build. The previous
delegated-region allocate schema and
RegionPartExportDescriptor/capability wire are not accepted.
Rebuild any in-tree Region control or import path against the v2 reply
and the two canonical descriptors. There is intentionally no mixed
old/new decoder.
This does not change the public Python Region access API or the
worker-chip scalar layout used by callers of
create_worker_chip_region.Non-Goals
This change intentionally does not add:
