Add Slurm run and DSE results to experiment output

[podkidyshev]

Summary

• Add Slurm run status, UTC timing, and workload metrics to experiment.json. Workload success uses was_run_successful(); metrics use metric_observations().
• Fill test-level metrics from a single successful normal run. For DSE, record the search space, best configuration, best step, and that step's metrics.
• Retain completed results after failure or cancellation and finalize unresolved records as unknown.

Test Plan

• Automated CI.
• Manual Slurm runs on one node with eight H100 GPUs: normal NCCL and two-step NCCL and NIXL DSE. Downloaded artifacts were checked locally for workload success, metric values, UTC timing, and DSE selection against the recorded rewards.
• Manual Slurm dry-run generated batch scripts without submitting jobs.
• After adding test-level metrics, replayed the output code locally against those artifacts: 36 measurements for normal NCCL, 36 for the winning NCCL DSE step, and 12 for the winning NIXL DSE step.

Additional Notes

Stacked on #1030 (ipod/unified-output). Single-sbatch run output is handled in #1041.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates experiment output finalization and metric conversion. It adds DSE candidate publication and Slurm run records with status, metric, and timing data. Reporting documentation and tests cover the updated output.

Changes

Experiment output and execution results

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Output lifecycle and metric contracts src/cloudai/output.py, src/cloudai/_core/base_runner.py, src/cloudai/systems/standalone/standalone_runner.py, src/cloudai/models/output.py, tests/test_output.py, tests/systems/standalone/test_runner.py, doc/reporting.rst, doc/examples/nccl-dse/experiment.json	Shared metric conversion marks the size dimension as the x-axis. Finalization updates unfinished run and test statuses and applies simple-run metrics. Shutdown can result in a cancelled experiment. Reporting describes run and DSE output fields and includes a Slurm NCCL DSE example.
DSE candidate selection and publication src/cloudai/configurator/cloudai_gym.py, src/cloudai/output.py, src/cloudai/cli/handlers.py, tests/test_handlers.py	DSE candidates are filtered for finite rewards and valid observations, then ranked by reward. Output updates run before and after agent execution. A completed candidate’s metrics are recorded when a matching run exists.
Slurm cluster metadata src/cloudai/systems/slurm/slurm_metadata.py, src/cloudai/systems/slurm/slurm_rest_client.py, src/cloudai/systems/slurm/slurm_system.py, tests/systems/slurm/test_system.py	Slurm accounting and REST responses provide cluster names in parsed job metadata. The accounting query requests UTC timestamps and the Cluster field.
Slurm run result construction src/cloudai/systems/slurm/slurm_job.py, src/cloudai/systems/slurm/slurm_runner.py, src/cloudai/systems/slurm/single_sbatch_runner.py, tests/systems/slurm/test_runner.py	Slurm run output includes status, metrics, timing, metadata, iteration, and step values. Tests cover run output, status, timestamps, and metric extraction errors.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 36eea

Single-sbatch executions still lack run-level results, and their documented coverage remains inaccurate. Clarify cancellation behavior before merging unless these limitations are explicitly accepted.

In `@doc/reporting.rst`:
- Around line 39-41: Update the scenario and test-case documentation near the
description of tests[].runs to state that records are not emitted for
--single-sbatch executions because SingleSbatchRunner.get_run_output() currently
returns None; clarify this exclusion remains until single-sbatch output support
is available.

In `@src/cloudai/_core/base_runner.py`:
- Line 117: Update BaseRunner shutdown handling to mark each job killed by
shutdown as shutdown-cancelled, rather than relying on self.shutting_down. In
StandaloneRunner.get_run_output() and SlurmRunner.get_run_output(), map that
per-job marker to cancelled while preserving failures recorded before shutdown
as failed.
