…hecks Adds an env-var override for the NCCL launcher/worker workload image baked into per-platform TrainingRuntime templates, so operators can qualify a different CUDA/NCCL/MPI combination (e.g. CUDA 13 on GKE TCPXO) without rebuilding the validator image. Closes NVIDIA#1751

Add regression tests for the NCCL runtime-image contract.
The changed test only passes an empty runtime image to a custom runtime. It does not test the new override behavior. A forwarding or mutation regression can therefore pass the test suite.
validators/performance/nccl_benchmark_runtime_test.go#L443-L445: Add table-driven cases for the embedded-runtime override path and the custom-runtime bypass path.pkg/validator/v1/job_plan_internal.go#L203-L214: Add cases that verify forwarding to default, NET, and NVLS checks only; verify blank values are omitted; verify catalog values cannot inject this variable.validators/performance/nccl_runtime_image.go#L67-L170: Add cases for blank input, valid input, malformed input withErrCodeInvalidRequest, replacement of all workload containers, and preservation of unrelated sidecars.
As per coding guidelines: “Test as you go: Write tests alongside your code” and “Write table-driven tests for multiple test cases.” The PR objectives also require coverage for default selection, propagation, malformed references, and check scoping.

Multi-persona review — Approve with comments
Method: independent persona panel (Correctness · Domain/Architecture · Test-coverage · Docs/Operability) → adversarial senior meta-review confirming/refuting/re-tiering each finding against the resolved code.
Legend: 🔴 Blocker · 🟠 Major · 🟡 Minor · 🔵 Nitpick
Overall
The implementation is correct and fail-closed. The unstructured-map mutation chain (NestedSlice → mutate live refs → SetNestedSlice) is sound and mirrors the existing applyNCCLWorkerScheduling pattern; buildEnv forwarding is correctly scoped to the three NCCL checks, dedups the catalog-supplied duplicate (trust boundary preserved), and omits blank/unset; both fail-closed paths (malformed ref → ErrCodeInvalidRequest, touched==0 → ErrCodeInternal) are right; the {fix-ssh-perms, node} container scope covers all shipped templates with the GKE tcpxo-daemon sidecar correctly excluded. go vet clean; distribution/reference already vendored. No runtime correctness bug found.
Every surviving finding is a completeness gap against issue #1751's own explicit success criteria — none blocks on correctness, but F1 (docs) and F2 (tests) are enumerated close-criteria and should land before #1751 is considered satisfied.
🟠 Major — surfaced here (they concern absent content, so no inline anchor)
🟠 New env var AICR_NCCL_RUNTIME_IMAGE is undocumented. Zero hits across docs/ + README.md + CHANGELOG.md. Siblings are documented — AICR_NCCL_FABRIC (docs/user/validation.md:53,65) and AICR_VALIDATOR_IMAGE_* (docs/contributor/validator.md:389). This breaks the mandatory "update docs in the same PR" rule for a new env var, and misses issue #1751 criteria (b) distinguish from aicr validate --image / AICR_VALIDATOR_IMAGE_* and (d) recommend immutable digests. make qualify does not catch a missing section.
→ Add a paragraph in docs/user/validation.md beside AICR_NCCL_FABRIC: scope (overrides the launcher/worker CUDA/NCCL/MPI workload image in the baked-in templates; nccl-all-reduce-bw/-net/-nvls only), the explicit "this is not the validator snapshot-agent image" contrast, fail-fast-on-malformed, no effect on a recipe-supplied runtime, and a digest-pinning recommendation.
🟠 Issue-mandated unit tests are absent. No test exercises resolveNCCLRuntimeImage / applyNCCLRuntimeImageOverride / setWorkloadImages, and the buildEnv forward branch (job_plan_internal.go:210-214) has 0 executions — while the sibling ncclFabricEnv has a full suite (TestBuildJobPlan_ForwardsNCCLFabricEnv, job_plan_test.go:531). TestEmbeddedCatalog_NCCLEntriesExist only locks entry names. The untested surface includes both fail-closed guarantees. This is issue #1751 criterion (a), already flagged by CodeRabbit; no automated gate blocks it (validators/ is excluded from the coverage floor; the funcs are unexported).
→ Add nccl_runtime_image_test.go (table-driven: unset/blank → "", valid tag + valid digest passthrough, malformed → ErrCodeInvalidRequest; apply: no-op on "", renders into every fix-ssh-perms+node, tcpxo-daemon untouched, replicatedJobs-absent + touched==0 → ErrCodeInternal), and clone the ncclFabricEnv scoping block in job_plan_test.go for ncclRuntimeImageEnv.
Confirmed non-issues (examined, cleared)
- Mutation/aliasing & ordering — override-then-scheduling do independent read-modify-write cycles; no lost update.
- buildEnv trim asymmetry — orchestrator forwards verbatim, pod
TrimSpaces; whitespace-only → no-op. Harmless, matchesncclFabricEnv. customRuntime == ""gating — a recipe-supplied runtime correctly owns its own image; override + validation skipped.- Mutable tag accepted — not a code defect:
ParseNormalizedNamedcorrectly accepts any well-formed ref; issue #1751 only recommends digests (a docs obligation, folded into the docs finding).

🟡 Minor — Godoc cites a verifying test that does not exist
This comment promises the share-one-image invariant is "verified by TestNCCLRuntimeTemplatesShareOneImage", but that test does not exist anywhere in the repo (grep-confirmed). The invariant holds across all 10 current templates but is enforced by nothing: a future template that renames a workload container, or introduces a second workload image, would ship green — the runtime touched==0 guard only fires when zero containers match, not when one diverges.
Blast radius: A maintainer trusting the comment believes an invariant is CI-guarded when it is not; template/constant drift ships undetected.
Fix: Add the actually-named TestNCCLRuntimeTemplatesShareOneImage (walk testdata/**/runtime*.yaml, assert every ncclWorkloadContainerNames container shares one image and the name set matches the templates), or drop the "(verified by …)" citation. Part of the missing-tests gap — issue #1751 criterion (a).

🟡 Minor — Resolved runtime image reaches logs but not structured evidence
runtimeImage is resolved here but never surfaced in the check's structured result. The success path returns actualValue = fmt.Sprintf("%.2f GB/s", bandwidth) (~L474/482) — bandwidth only; the resolved image reaches output solely via slog.Info (captured pod stdout). Issue #1751 criterion (c) asks for the image in logs AND validation evidence, and the operational note says the resolved reference must be surfaced in results/evidence. The logs half is satisfied, but the report.json detail is not — after cleanup an operator cannot confirm which image produced the number.
Blast radius: A qualification run's evidence artifact can't prove which NCCL workload image ran, undermining reproducible qualification/provenance.
Fix: Thread runtimeImage to the return and append it to the detail when set, e.g. fmt.Sprintf("%.2f GB/s (runtime image: %s)", bandwidth, runtimeImage) at the actualValue construction (~L474). (The fabric selector is likewise absent from actualValue — a pre-existing pattern this issue newly raises the bar on.)

🔵 Nitpick — Non-deterministic container-name order in drift error message
containerNameList() iterates a map, so the container names embedded in the touched==0 "template/override drift" ErrCodeInternal message come out in non-deterministic order across runs.
Fix: Sort the keys before returning so the drift error is stable and greppable. Cosmetic (error string only).

Adds an env-var override for the NCCL launcher/worker workload image baked into per-platform TrainingRuntime templates, so operators can qualify a different CUDA/NCCL/MPI combination (e.g. CUDA 13 on GKE TCPXO) without rebuilding the validator image.
