docs(grpc): document the VRP gRPC client (RoutingClient) - #1838
Merged
Conversation
cuopt.grpc.routing.RoutingClient (merged in #1597) has been solvable against cuopt_grpc_server since then, but every page in the cuopt-grpc docs still said routing over gRPC was unavailable. Add a routing.rst page (prerequisites, connect-and-solve walkthrough, job lifecycle, settings surface, solution fields, and a limitations/roadmap section linking the open follow-up issues), a matching example script, and update the stale caveats in index/quick-start/examples/api/advanced to distinguish the explicit RoutingClient path (available) from transparent remote execution via CUOPT_REMOTE_HOST/PORT (still #1633).

doc
The Connect and Solve section showed the full script twice: once inline, once via literalinclude of the identical remote_routing_demo.py right below it. Every other page in this doc set uses one canonical copy per script (literalinclude for a file-backed example, inline code-block only for a delta not backed by its own file, as quick-start.rst does for the async-client variant) -- keep the literalinclude and drop the inline duplicate.

…tion"
RoutingClient does execute remotely over gRPC -- "remote execution" is
just this doc set's term of art for the specific CUOPT_REMOTE_HOST/PORT
env-var path (defined in index.rst), which routing indeed lacks. But
quick-start.rst and examples.rst stated the narrower claim ("no
remote-execution path over gRPC") without naming that mechanism, which
reads as routing having no remote gRPC execution at all. Name the env
vars directly, as index.rst/api.rst/advanced.rst already do.

Cross-checked routing.rst against grpc_client.pyx and cython_grpc_client.hpp more closely and found three undocumented behaviors: - RoutingClient(target) takes one "host:port" string; the LP/MIP Client(host, port) takes two args -- an easy copy-paste trap between the two client docs. - RoutingClient's __cinit__ only calls the 2-arg grpc_python_client_t constructor (tls_mode defaults to ENV), so it does honor CUOPT_TLS_* the same way Client's tls=None does, but has no `tls` argument to override that, unlike Client(host, port, tls=...). Filed as scope on #1632. - The settings dict silently drops any key other than "time_limit" rather than erroring, which the existing text implied without stating outright.

…ls=) signature #1840 changes RoutingClient(target="host:port") to RoutingClient(host, port, *, tls=None), matching Client exactly and fixing the TLS gap this page's Limitations section called out. Update the constructor description, the example script, and the advanced.rst TLS variable table to cover both clients. Swap the now-resolved TLS limitation for the still-real one this page hadn't listed yet: no 2 GiB chunking (#1629). Depends on #1840 landing first (or being rebased together).

## Summary Fixes #1839. `cuopt.grpc.routing.RoutingClient` diverged from the LP/MIP `cuopt.grpc.linear_programming.Client`: it took a single `"host:port"` string and had no way to configure TLS, even though it reuses the exact same `grpc_python_client_t` C++ shim `Client` uses -- which already had TLS support (via a `grpc_python_client_connect_options_t` overload) more than 5 weeks before `RoutingClient` was added. See #1839 for the full chronology and evidence this was an oversight from a POC-scoped first cut (#1597), not a deliberate design choice -- it never came up in that PR's review, unlike every other follow-up from it. ## Changes - `RoutingClient.__cinit__` now takes `(host: str, port: int, *, tls=None)`, mirroring `Client.__init__` exactly: `tls=None` reads `CUOPT_TLS_*` from the environment (same default as before), `tls=False` forces plain TCP, `tls=TlsConfig(...)` sets explicit TLS/mTLS. Reuses the existing `_connect_options_from_tls()` helper and the TLS-options constructor overload `Client` already used -- no new C++ needed, both `.pxd` overloads were already declared. - Updated the two existing call sites: the `cuopt.grpc.routing` package docstring example, and `test_routing_grpc_client.py`'s `_client()` helper (parses `CUOPT_GRPC_SERVER=host:port` into the two args now). - Added `test_routing_grpc_client_tls.py`: an offline `TypeError`-on-bad-`tls`-value test, plus a `TestRoutingClientTls` class mirroring `TestGrpcClientTls` from the LP test suite (TLS submit, plain-client-against-TLS-server rejection, mTLS submit, mTLS-missing-client-cert rejection) using the existing `tls_server_info`/`mtls_server_info` fixtures -- these don't need `CUOPT_GRPC_SERVER`, they start their own server subprocess. This is a breaking signature change, not additive -- `RoutingClient` was added in #1597 and isn't in a stable release yet (the docs describing it, #1838, are still in review), so there's no compatibility surface to preserve. ## Out of scope - 2 GiB chunked upload/download -- already tracked separately in #1629, a materially larger feature (server + client, mirroring the LP/MIP chunked path). - Log/incumbent streaming parity -- #1630. ## Test plan - [x] `.pyx` → `.cxx` Cython transpile and C++ compile clean (`ninja cuopt/grpc/client/CMakeFiles/grpc_client_grpc_client.dir/grpc_client.cxx.o`). - [x] Full extension module links clean (`ninja grpc_client_grpc_client`). - [x] Pre-commit hooks pass (ruff, pydocstyle, copyright, etc.). - [ ] Live pytest run against a `cuopt_grpc_server` -- the installed dev environment's `cuopt` package predates the `grpc/routing` merge (#1597), so a full reinstall would be needed locally; CI's environment builds from this branch and should exercise the new tests. Authors: - Ramakrishna Prabhu (https://github.com/ramakrishnap-nv) Approvers: - Trevor McKay (https://github.com/tmckayus) URL: #1840
…bbit review - Merge origin/main now that #1840 landed, so routing.rst's documented RoutingClient(host, port, tls=...) signature matches the real one. - api.rst: list the VRP proto files alongside the LP/MIP ones, mention RoutingClient next to Client in the "most users don't call these directly" summary, and note VRP in the SubmitJob RPC row -- it only described LP/MIP. - remote_routing_demo.py: add the same "tls=None uses CUOPT_TLS_* if set" comment python-async-client.rst's Client(...) call already carries, for the same reason (a reader with CUOPT_TLS_ENABLED set against a plain server would otherwise be surprised). The other two CodeRabbit findings on this PR are already resolved: the routing.rst port-mismatch and examples.rst "no remote-execution path" wording were both fixed in earlier commits before #1840 merged.

Added — routing.rst's Connect and Solve section now has a sample-output block right after the demo's literalinclude, matching the convention from cuopt-python/routing/routing-examples.rst's TSP batch example. Labeled as illustrative rather than a captured run, since there's no GPU in this environment to actually execute it against, and VRP status/objective/route order aren't guaranteed stable across runs.
Matches the "Sample output" convention already used for the local routing TSP batch example (cuopt-python/routing/routing-examples.rst). Labeled explicitly as illustrative -- there's no GPU in this dev environment to capture a real run against, and VRP status text, vehicle count, objective, and route order aren't guaranteed to be stable across runs anyway.

Summary
cuopt.grpc.routing.RoutingClient(merged in #1597) has been usable againstcuopt_grpc_serversince then, but every page in thecuopt-grpcdocs still stated routing over gRPC was "not available yet". That's stale for the explicit-client path; it's only accurate for transparent remote execution (CUOPT_REMOTE_HOST/CUOPT_REMOTE_PORT), which really isn't wired up for routing yet (#1633).docs/cuopt/source/cuopt-grpc/routing.rst: prerequisites, a connect-and-solve walkthrough, job lifecycle (submit/wait/result/delete/solve), settings surface (time_limitonly, today), solution dict fields, a limitations/roadmap section linking VRP gRPC: log streaming and incumbent parity with LP/MILP #1630/VRP gRPC: server-side validation of routing problem inputs #1631/VRP gRPC client completeness: settings surface, e2e coverage, docs, perf nits #1632/VRP: transparent remote execution via CUOPT_REMOTE_HOST/PORT (solve parity with LP/MIP) #1633, and an API reference (autoclass/autoexception).docs/cuopt/source/cuopt-grpc/examples/remote_routing_demo.py, referenced vialiteralinclude.routing.rstto theindex.rsttoctree.index.rst,quick-start.rst,examples.rst(plus a new "Routing (VRP)" entry under "Where to Find Examples"),api.rst(VRP rides the sameCuOptRemoteService.SubmitJob/GetResultRPCs via avrp_requestpayload, not a separate service), andadvanced.rst's "Limitations and Scope" to distinguish the two paths.Follow-up to #1632 (comment with the detailed scope: #1632 (comment)).
