PR Review: Convert Runner Protocol to Protobuf

I've completed my review of this PR that converts the runner protocol from JSON to protobuf. Here's my comprehensive feedback:

Review Checklist:

Analyze protobuf schema design
Review Rust code changes for correctness
Check serialization/deserialization logic
Assess performance implications
Look for security considerations
Evaluate error handling
Check build configuration
Provide comprehensive feedback

🚀 Overall Assessment

This is a solid refactoring that should improve performance and type safety. The protobuf schema design is well-structured and the Rust implementation follows good practices.

✅ Strengths

Clean Schema Design (runner_protocol.proto, kv.proto)
- Well-organized message hierarchy with clear separation of concerns
- Proper use of oneof for message variants
- Good field numbering and optional field usage
Build Configuration (build.rs)
- Correct prost-build setup for code generation
- Proper dependency management in Cargo.toml
Performance Improvements
- Protobuf binary format will be more compact than JSON
- Faster serialization/deserialization compared to serde_json
- Better streaming support with the existing LengthDelimitedCodec

⚠️ Issues & Concerns

High Priority

Data Migration Risk (packages/edge/infra/client/actor-kv/src/entry.rs:36)
```
// Old: kv_version field
// New: _version field  
```
The metadata field name changed from kv_version to _version. This could break existing data if there's no migration strategy.
Missing Test Coverage
No tests were updated to verify the protobuf conversion works correctly. This is critical for a protocol change.

Medium Priority

Error Handling (packages/edge/infra/client/config/src/runner_protocol.rs:52-62)

pub fn decode_frame<T: Message + Default>(frame: &[u8]) -> Result<([u8; 4], T)> {
    ensure!(frame.len() >= 4, "Frame too short");
    let payload = T::decode(&frame[4..])?;

Consider more specific error messages for protobuf decode failures to aid debugging.

Type Safety (packages/edge/infra/client/config/src/runner_protocol.rs:23-27)
```
pub enum ToActor {
    StateUpdate { state: proto::ActorState },
    Kv(proto::kv::Request),
}
```
Still using a separate ToActor enum alongside protobuf types - consider if this duplication is necessary.

Low Priority

Documentation
The protobuf files could benefit from comments explaining the purpose of each message type.
Field Validation
Consider adding validation for protobuf message fields (e.g., non-empty actor_id).

🔒 Security Assessment

✅ Improved: Protobuf has stricter parsing than JSON, reducing injection risks
✅ Good: Schema enforcement prevents malformed messages
✅ Safe: No sensitive data exposure in the changes

🚀 Performance Impact

✅ Positive: Binary format is more compact than JSON
✅ Faster: Protobuf serialization/deserialization is typically 2-3x faster
✅ Memory: Lower memory footprint for large messages

📋 Recommendations

Add comprehensive tests covering:
- Protobuf message serialization/deserialization
- Backward compatibility if needed
- Error scenarios with malformed data
Consider migration strategy for existing data with the old metadata format
Add field validation in the protobuf decode paths
Update documentation to reflect the protocol change

🎯 Verdict

Approve with recommendations - This is a well-executed protocol conversion that will improve performance. The main concerns are around testing and potential data migration issues.

✅ Strengths

Excellent Protobuf Schema Design
- Clean Architecture: Clear separation between ToManager and ToRunner messages with logical hierarchy
- Proper Field Design: Effective use of oneof for message variants (lines 16-20 in runner_protocol.proto)
- Consistent Naming: Good field numbering and consistent naming conventions
- KV Integration: Well-designed KV protocol with proper Request/Response pattern
Solid Rust Implementation
- Clean Module Structure: Proper prost integration in runner_protocol.rs:6-18
- Efficient Framing: Good frame encoding/decoding with 4-byte headers (runner_protocol.rs:42-62)
- Memory Safety: Proper use of #[repr(transparent)] wrapper in key.rs:9-11
- FoundationDB Integration: Correct TuplePack/TupleUnpack implementation for KV keys
Proper Build Configuration
- Simple Setup: Clean build.rs with correct prost-build usage
- Correct Dependencies: Appropriate version constraints (prost = "0.14", prost-build = "0.14")
Performance Benefits
- Compact Format: Binary protobuf is significantly more compact than JSON
- Faster Serialization: Protobuf typically 2-3x faster than serde_json
- Better Type Safety: Compile-time schema validation vs runtime JSON parsing

⚠️ Issues & Concerns

High Priority

Potential Data Migration Risk (kv.proto:82)
```
message Metadata {
    bytes _version = 1;  // Previously kv_version
    int64 create_ts = 2;
}
```
The metadata field name changed from kv_version to _version. This could break existing data compatibility if there's no migration strategy.
Missing Test Coverage
- No tests were added/updated to verify protobuf conversion
- Existing tests in manager/tests/container_lifecycle.rs may still pass but don't validate protobuf-specific scenarios
- No tests for error handling with malformed protobuf data

Medium Priority

Generic Error Handling (runner_protocol.rs:52-62)

pub fn decode_frame<T: Message + Default>(frame: &[u8]) -> Result<([u8; 4], T)> {
    ensure!(frame.len() >= 4, "Frame too short");
    let payload = T::decode(&frame[4..])?;  // Generic prost::DecodeError

Protobuf decode errors could be more descriptive for debugging production issues.

Code Duplication (runner_protocol.rs:21-27)
```
pub enum ToActor {
    StateUpdate { state: proto::ActorState },
    Kv(proto::kv::Request),
}
```
Still maintains a separate enum alongside protobuf types - consider if this abstraction is necessary.

Low Priority

Missing Documentation
- Protobuf files lack comments explaining message purposes
- No migration guide for the protocol change
Field Validation
- No validation for protobuf message fields (e.g., non-empty actor_id, valid generation numbers)

🔒 Security Assessment

✅ Improvements:

Better Parsing: Protobuf's strict schema validation reduces malformed message risks
Type Safety: Compile-time type checking prevents runtime type errors
Reduced Attack Surface: Binary format is less susceptible to injection attacks than JSON

✅ No Security Issues Found:

No sensitive data exposure in changes
Proper error handling without information leakage
No hardcoded credentials or secrets

🚀 Performance Impact

✅ Significant Expected Improvements:

Size: Binary format typically 20-50% smaller than JSON
Speed: Protobuf serialization/deserialization is 2-3x faster
Memory: Lower memory footprint for message processing
CPU: Reduced CPU usage for protocol handling

🧪 Test Coverage Analysis

✅ Existing Infrastructure:

Good test coverage in manager/tests/container_lifecycle.rs
WebSocket message handling tests should continue working
Actor lifecycle tests cover state transitions

❌ Missing Coverage:

No protobuf-specific serialization/deserialization tests

Faster Serialization: Typically 2-3x faster than serde_json
Better Memory Usage: Lower memory footprint for message processing

⚠️ Issues & Concerns

High Priority

Potential Data Migration Risk (kv.proto:82)
```
message Metadata {
    bytes _version = 1;  // Changed from kv_version
    int64 create_ts = 2;
}
```
Issue: The field name changed from kv_version to _version. This could break existing data compatibility.
Missing Test Coverage
- No tests added for protobuf conversion
- No unit tests for frame encoding/decoding
- No tests for KV protocol message roundtrips
- Existing tests (container_lifecycle.rs) are integration tests that may still pass but don't validate protobuf-specific scenarios

Medium Priority

Generic Error Handling (runner_protocol.rs:52-62)
```
let payload = T::decode(&frame[4..])?;  // Generic prost error
```
Issue: Protobuf decode errors are generic and may be difficult to debug in production.
Minor Typo in Safety Comment (key.rs:16)
```
// SAFETY: Key is a wrapper around kv::Kky, identical memory layout
```
Issue: kv::Kky should be kv::Key (already noted in review comments).

Low Priority

Missing Documentation
- Protobuf files lack field-level comments
- No migration guide for the protocol change

🔒 Security Assessment

✅ Improvements:

Protobuf's strict schema validation reduces malformed message risks
Binary format is less susceptible to injection attacks than JSON
Compile-time type checking prevents runtime errors

✅ No Security Issues Found

📋 Recommendations

Before Merge

Add comprehensive tests for protobuf serialization/deserialization
Address the metadata field migration from kv_version to _version
Fix the typo in the safety comment

Post-Merge Improvements

Enhanced error handling with more specific protobuf decode errors
Add documentation for the protocol change
Performance benchmarking to validate expected improvements

🎯 Verdict

✅ Approve with Recommendations - This is a solid protocol conversion that will improve performance and type safety. The main concerns are around testing and potential data migration, but the implementation itself is well-executed and follows best practices.

The changes successfully modernize the runner protocol while maintaining existing functionality. The protobuf schema design is clean and the Rust integration is properly implemented.

PR Review: Convert Runner Protocol to Protobuf

Review Checklist:

🚀 Overall Assessment

This is a well-executed protocol conversion that successfully migrates the runner protocol from JSON to protobuf. The implementation is thorough, follows protobuf best practices, and should deliver significant performance improvements. The schema design is clean and the Rust integration is properly implemented.

✅ Strengths

1. Excellent Protobuf Schema Design (`runner_protocol.proto`, `kv.proto`)

Clean message hierarchy with logical separation of concerns
Proper use of oneof for message variants (e.g., ToManager.message, ToRunner.message)
Consistent field numbering and appropriate use of optional fields
Good namespace organization (rivet.pegboard.runner_protocol, rivet.pegboard.kv)

2. Robust Build Configuration (`build.rs`, `Cargo.toml`)

Simple and effective prost-build setup
Proper proto file compilation with correct include paths
Dependencies properly added (prost = "0.14", prost-build = "0.14")

3. Solid Rust Implementation (`runner_protocol.rs`)

Generated protobuf code properly integrated with include!() macros
Efficient LengthDelimitedCodec configuration with 4-byte headers
Clean encode_frame/decode_frame functions for message framing

4. Comprehensive Actor-KV Integration (`entry.rs`, `key.rs`, `list_query.rs`)

Proper wrapper types with From/Into implementations
Efficient protobuf serialization in metadata storage (lib.rs:327-337)
Good integration with FoundationDB tuple packing

5. Strong Manager Integration (`manager/src/actor/mod.rs`)

Complete KV operation handling with proper error responses
Efficient message dispatching with pattern matching
Proper actor metadata conversion to protobuf

⚠️ Issues & Concerns

High Priority

Metadata Field Migration Risk (kv.proto:82)
```
message Metadata {
    bytes _version = 1;  // Changed from kv_version
    int64 create_ts = 2;
}
```
Risk: The field name changed from kv_version to _version. If existing data uses the old field name, this could break compatibility.
Impact: Data corruption or loss for existing KV entries.
Missing Test Coverage
- No tests added or updated to verify the protobuf conversion
- No tests for KV protocol message roundtrips
- No tests for actor state transitions using protobuf
- Critical for a protocol change of this magnitude

Medium Priority

Generic Error Handling (runner_protocol.rs:52-62)

pub fn decode_frame<T: Message + Default>(frame: &[u8]) -> Result<([u8; 4], T)> {
    ensure!(frame.len() >= 4, "Frame too short");
    let payload = T::decode(&frame[4..])?;  // Generic prost error

Issue: Protobuf decode errors are generic and may be difficult to debug in production.
Suggestion: Wrap with more contextual error messages including message type.

Minor Typo in Safety Comment (key.rs:16)
```
// SAFETY: Key is a wrapper around kv::Kky, identical memory layout
```
Issue: kv::Kky should be kv::Key (already noted in review comments).

Low Priority

Missing Documentation
- Protobuf files lack field-level comments explaining purposes
- No documentation for the protocol change
Field Validation
- No validation for critical protobuf fields (e.g., non-empty actor_id, valid generation numbers)

🔒 Security Assessment

✅ Improvements:

Reduced Attack Surface: Protobuf's strict schema validation prevents malformed messages
Type Safety: Compile-time type checking vs runtime JSON parsing
Input Validation: Binary format is less susceptible to injection attacks than JSON

Proper error handling without information leakage
No hardcoded credentials or secrets

🚀 Performance Impact

✅ Significant Improvements Expected:

Size: Binary protobuf format typically 20-50% smaller than JSON
Speed: Protobuf serialization/deserialization is typically 2-3x faster than serde_json
Memory: Lower memory footprint for message processing
CPU: Reduced CPU usage for high-throughput scenarios

✅ Approve with Recommendations - This is a solid protocol conversion that will improve performance and type safety. The main concerns are around testing and potential data migration, but the implementation itself is well-executed and follows best practices.

The changes successfully modernize the runner protocol while maintaining existing functionality. The protobuf schema design is clean and the Rust integration is properly implemented.
