Summary

Generalizes the ad hoc codec-file cleanup used in the automodel and RL training images into a shared, per-image removal-list convention, and adds a matching apt-package removal step so unused codec libraries are purged both from apt's dpkg database and from the filesystem.

Changes

  • Add docker/scripts/remove-listed-apt-packages.sh, which purges any installed packages named in a list file (skipping ones not installed), mirroring the existing remove-listed-files.sh pattern.
  • Add per-image removal lists under docker/customizer/removals/:
    • apt/nmp-automodel-base.txt, apt/nmp-unsloth-training.txt, apt/nmp-rl-base.txt (apt packages to purge, e.g. libsndfile1, libmp3lame0, sox).
    • files/nmp-automodel-training.txt, files/nmp-unsloth-training.txt, files/nmp-rl-training.txt (bundled/non-package-managed files, replacing the old per-image codec-file-removals.txt).
  • Wire the apt removal script into Dockerfile.nmp-automodel-base, Dockerfile.nmp-unsloth-training, and Dockerfile.nmp-rl-base, running it alongside the existing apt-get update/openssl upgrade step and folding in apt-get clean.
  • Move Dockerfile.nmp-unsloth-training's late apt-get install --only-upgrade openssl block earlier so it runs together with the new package removal, rather than as a separate late-stage RUN.
  • Point Dockerfile.nmp-automodel-training and Dockerfile.nmp-rl-training at their new files/ removal lists instead of the old codec-file-removals.txt; update the corresponding platform-workspace Dockerfiles' COPY paths to match.
  • Extend file cleanup to the unsloth image for the first time: Dockerfile.unsloth/Dockerfile.platform-workspace now copies in the removal list and script, and Dockerfile.nmp-unsloth-training runs remove-listed-files.sh in its late build stage.
  • Drop apt-get autoremove from Dockerfile.nmp-rl-base's late cleanup stage, since removed dev tooling no longer leaves orphaned dependencies to sweep.
  • Add tests/smoke_gpu/python_package_versions.py with a shared assert_python_package_min_versions helper, and add minimum-version smoke tests for nmp-automodel-training, nmp-customizer-tasks, and nmp-rl-training to catch accidental package downgrades from the new removal steps; add a DALI-still-importable smoke test to guard against over-aggressive file cleanup breaking codec-adjacent GPU libraries.
  • Add a planning doc describing the cleanup approach.

Why

The codec cleanup for release image scans was previously a single hardcoded file list per image (codec-file-removals.txt) with no way to also remove the apt packages that own those files, so the underlying packages stayed installed and could reappear in CVE scans. This consolidates cleanup into a consistent, per-image, two-pronged (apt + file) removal mechanism that's easy to extend to additional images (unsloth now included) and image-specific packages.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added targeted removal of unnecessary system packages and bundled libraries from container images.
    • Improved image cleanup by removing temporary files and package metadata.
    • Added validation for minimum versions of key Python packages.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Preserved NVIDIA DALI availability after cleanup.
    • Improved package-removal handling for absent packages and inconsistently formatted removal lists.
  • Tests

    • Expanded GPU smoke tests to verify package versions, cleanup results, and runtime importability.

APT cleanup contracts
docker/scripts/remove-listed-apt-packages.sh, docker/customizer/removals/apt/*, plans/...
Adds a shared script that parses manifests, detects installed packages, and purges matching packages. Adds image-specific APT manifests and cleanup design details.
Base image APT wiring
docker/automodel/Dockerfile.nmp-automodel-base, docker/rl/Dockerfile.nmp-rl-base, docker/Dockerfile.nmp-unsloth-training

Bundled file cleanup wiring
docker/customizer/removals/files/*, docker/automodel/..., docker/rl/..., docker/Dockerfile.nmp-unsloth-training, docker/*/Dockerfile.platform-workspace
Replaces codec-specific cleanup with image-specific file manifests and bind-mounted cleanup scripts. Removes obsolete workspace copies.
Package and runtime smoke tests
tests/smoke_gpu/*, plans/...

Do not hide package-cleanup failures.

The || true after apt-get purge and the final || true allow this Docker RUN command to succeed when the purge fails. The image can then retain packages that this cleanup must remove.

Enable set -e and remove both suppressions, or handle only the known not-installed case.

contributors can execute them without editing the plan.
- Line 6: Remove the “REQUIRED SUB-SKILL” plugin invocation from the plan’s
agentic worker instructions, and replace it with repository-local workflow
guidance that does not reference plugin-based skills or slash commands. Keep the
existing task-by-task and checkbox tracking guidance.
- Around line 755-761: Update Step 6 to run the complete validation suite:
retain the targeted Ruff check, add uv run pre-commit run -a, and add a ty

Pass --no-install-recommends to apt-get install. This prevents unnecessary recommended packages from expanding the image and package surface.
