# This repo runs on two machines that share one git remote and have very
# different capabilities. Getting them confused wastes hours: planning a
# Claude Code sweep on babel (no SDK, no gateway) or a quick debug loop on
# aws (every GPU request queues behind a full cluster) both fail late rather
# than immediately.

# Hostname is NOT a usable signal. A Claude Code session runs inside a
# sandbox pod whose hostname is `claude-sandbox-pod` on aws regardless of the
# host underneath it. The checks below use things the sandbox inherits:
# the Slurm cluster name, the storage layout, and which binaries exist.

CAN DO here (aws)
  - Abundant H100s via Slurm. QOS `ar-ai-research-interns` is NOT preemptible
    (128-GPU group cap); `midpri` IS preemptible and will restart 10h jobs
    from zero. Use the former for anything long.
  - Claude Code SDK and Codex SDK, both installed, reaching the model
    providers through the x2pagentd gateway. This is what the agent sweeps run on.
  - Meta model gateway (x2pagentd). No direct OpenAI/Anthropic billing is used.
  - Apptainer containers -- on COMPUTE NODES only, not here in the sandbox pod.
  - Compute nodes reach the public internet directly (verified 2026-10-22 by
    fetching cl100k_base from Azure blob storage in a batch job).

CANNOT DO here (aws)
  - No internet from this sandbox pod or the login node. `curl` returns 000.
    Anything that needs to download: submit a tiny batch job instead.
  - The PostTrainBench agent sandbox is deliberately `--network=none`. That is
    the experimental design, not a defect -- do not "fix" it.
  - No GPU on the login/sandbox pod itself; `nvidia-smi` is absent. All GPU
    work goes through sbatch.
  - No OpenAI API: `.env` OPENAI_API_KEY is empty and api.openai.com is
    unreachable. The two LLM-graded benchmarks use a local vLLM judge instead.

  cat <<'TXT'
CAN DO here (babel)
  - Internet access directly from the shell -- downloads, pip, HF pulls.
  - Small GPUs, good for debugging a script before it goes to aws.
  - Read and edit the repo; everything that is CPU-only or small-scale.

CANNOT DO here (babel)
  - No Meta model gateway / MetaGen keys.
  - No Claude Code SDK and no Codex SDK, so NO agent sweeps can run here.
  - No PostTrainBench data, HF cache, or results tree -- those live on aws
    under /lustre-storage/fsx_2/user/jiaruiliu/ptb-data.
  Plan any agent run, any 10-hour cell, and any full sweep for aws.

Could not identify this machine from the usual signals.

Do not guess. Check by hand and then update this script:
  sacctmgr -n -P show cluster format=Cluster
  sinfo -h -o '%P' | sort -u
  ls -d /lustre-storage/fsx_2/user/jiaruiliu /data/group_data
  echo "$HOME"; command -v x2pagentd
