docs(examples): add auto-resume example by rmanjunath18 · Pull Request #60 · NeevCloudAI/neev-sdk-python

rmanjunath18 · 2026-10-26T14:57:49Z

Adds examples/auto_resume.py. It pauses a sandbox, reads a file back with exec without calling resume(), and reports whether the sandbox woke by itself (RESULT: woke automatically / resumed explicitly / failed).

Written like the other examples (docker.py, preview_ports.py): a short docstring, NeevAI() from the environment, SDK default timeouts, and NEEV_SANDBOX_TEMPLATE_ID as the only override.
The fallback is narrow. It calls resume() and replays the read-only command once, and only after a 429 while the sandbox is still Paused. A 503 or any other error is not retried. The docstring notes this relies on how the backend sends 429s today, not an API guarantee.
Every wait has a time limit, the marker file must come back unchanged, and the sandbox is always deleted at the end.
Adds entries to examples/README.md and docs/example-coverage.md. No SDK code changes.

Tested:

ruff check and format pass.
pytest: 684 passed, 2 skipped. tests/test_ssh.py::test_async_tunnel_close_stops_listener hangs on my Windows machine; this PR changes nothing in src/ or tests/.
A real run on dev woke the paused sandbox in 5.1 s, with the marker file intact, and the sandbox was deleted afterwards.

Not tested: production, the explicit-resume path against a real environment, and agents.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added examples showing how paused sandboxes and agents behave when used without calling resume() first. They report whether the resource wakes automatically and retry a read after a 429 response if it remains paused.
Documentation
- Added both auto-resume examples to the examples catalog and API-to-examples index, and updated the documented uses of NEEV_AGENT_TEMPLATE.

Walkthrough

Adds sandbox and agent examples that read from paused resources without first calling resume(). If a read returns a 429 and the resource remains paused, each example resumes it, waits for readiness, and retries once. The documentation indexes now list the examples.

Changes: Paused Resource Examples

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Demonstrate paused-sandbox read and fallback `examples/auto_resume.py`, `examples/README.md`, `docs/example-coverage.md`	The script creates and pauses a sandbox, then reads a marker without first resuming it. Only a 429 while the sandbox remains paused triggers a resume and one retry. The script reports the outcome and attempts cleanup. The indexes list the example.
Demonstrate paused-agent read and fallback `examples/agent_auto_resume.py`, `examples/README.md`, `docs/example-coverage.md`	The script creates and pauses an agent, then reads a marker from its sandbox without first resuming it. Only a 429 while the agent remains paused triggers a resume and one retry. The script reports the outcome and attempts cleanup. The indexes describe the example and document its template setting.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 70f2b

The examples are mergeable with a small follow-up: a failed agent can cause unnecessary polling before failure is reported. No SDK behavior changes or material merge-blocking defects are established.

Fail fast in wait_for when the agent status is Failed.

wait_for returns only when done(agent) is true or the 120-second deadline passes. If the agent becomes Failed while the example waits for Paused, the loop keeps polling until the deadline. A Failed check inside the loop stops the wait at once.
🐛 Suggested fix
 def wait_for(agent, done, expected: str) -> None:
     """Polls until done(agent) holds, or raises after PHASE_TIMEOUT_SEC."""
     deadline = time.monotonic() + PHASE_TIMEOUT_SEC
     while not done(agent):
+        if agent.status == "Failed":
+            raise NeevAIError(f"agent is Failed; expected {expected}")
         if time.monotonic() > deadline:
             raise NeevAIError(f"agent still {agent.status}; expected {expected}")
         time.sleep(2)
         agent.refresh()

The JS PR documents paused-sandbox behaviour in api-inventory.md: runtime calls on a Paused handle are sent, a 429 means call resume(), and phase stays Paused until refresh(). Python behaves the same but this PR doesn't document it. Could we add the same paragraph?

mayur-tolexo · 2026-10-29T12:45:03Z

+                try:
+                    sandbox.delete()
+                except NeevAIError as e:
+                    print(f"cleanup failed, delete {sandbox.id} by hand: {e}", file=sys.stderr)


Cleanup failure only prints, so the run still exits 0 and a leaked sandbox goes unnoticed in CI. The JS port sets a non-zero exit here. Can we match?

Fixed in 93212ef: a failed delete now exits with status 1.

mayur-tolexo · 2026-10-29T12:45:03Z

+                    agent.delete()
+                    print(f"deleted agent {agent.id}")
+                except NeevAIError as e:
+                    print(f"cleanup failed, delete {agent.id} by hand: {e}", file=sys.stderr)


Same as auto_resume.py: exit non-zero when agent.delete() fails.

Fixed in 93212ef: a failed delete now exits with status 1.

+
+def read_marker(sandbox) -> str:
+    """Reads the marker back; a different text means the files did not survive."""
+    result = sandbox.exec(["cat", MARKER_FILE])


The JS port bounds this read at 120s (AbortSignal.timeout) so a stalled body can't hang the example. If exec takes a timeout here, worth passing the same.

Fixed in 93212ef: the read passes timeout_ms=120000, so the server stops the command at 120s and the client waits at most 150s.

+
+def read_marker(sandbox) -> str:
+    """Reads the marker back; a different text means the files did not survive."""
+    result = sandbox.exec(["cat", MARKER_FILE])


Same: bound the read.

Fixed in 93212ef: the read passes timeout_ms=120000, so the server stops the command at 120s and the client waits at most 150s.

Both auto-resume examples pass timeout_ms=120000 to the marker read, matching the JS port: the server stops the command at 120s and the client waits up to 150s (120s plus the SDK's grace). Both also exit non-zero when deleting the sandbox or agent fails.

Please squash the commits

auto_resume.py pauses a sandbox, then runs a command against it without calling resume(), and reports whether the sandbox woke by itself. agent_auto_resume.py does the same for an agent, through its backing sandbox, and calls agent.resume() in the fallback. Both fall back to an explicit resume() only on a 429 while still Paused, and replay the read-only command at most once. Every 429 on the exec path is sent before the command runs; that is how the backend behaves today, not an API guarantee. A 503 or any other error is not replayed. The marker read passes timeout_ms=120000, matching the JS port, and both examples exit non-zero when deleting the sandbox or agent fails. examples/README.md gains a step-by-step section with each example's run command and expected output, and its table and notes now match the code. minimal_agent's banner shows the configured model, and repo_analyzer defaults to the repository's current URL. Both auto-resume examples are listed in examples/README.md and docs/example-coverage.md.

Squashed into a single commit (dbb18e7); the content is unchanged. Could you take another look?

Conflicts with #58 resolved to this branch, which matches the current aiagent API (working_directory, device, OCSF actor captions). Keeps the auto-resume examples from #60, and updates the step-by-step README's expected output for the two audit examples to what they now print. Signed-off-by: Mayur Das <mayur.das@neevcloud.com>
