# Skill: Launch AutoMagicCalib Release Containers

Set up the AutoMagicCalib microservice and UI from release containers: resolve an AMC checkout, authenticate to NGC, optionally download VGGT, configure Docker Compose, launch services, and verify readiness.

## Prerequisites
- Docker and Docker Compose installed
- NVIDIA Docker Runtime configured (for GPU support)
- `auto-magic-calib` repo on disk. Step 0b resolves the current repo, DeepStream `tools/auto-magic-calib`, `DEEPSTREAM_REPO_ROOT`, or `~/auto-magic-calib`; otherwise it asks before cloning `https://github.com/NVIDIA-AI-IOT/auto-magic-calib`.
- NGC account with access to NVIDIA container registry
- Docker runnable without `sudo`; verify with `docker ps` before continuing.

## Instructions

### Step 0: Verify Docker Runs Without sudo

```bash
docker ps
```

- If it succeeds → continue.
- If it fails with "permission denied" → the user is not in the `docker` group. Ask the user to run:
  ```bash
  sudo usermod -aG docker $USER && newgrp docker
  ```
  Then ask the user to confirm `docker ps` works before continuing.

> **Agent note**: If `docker ps` cannot be run from within the agent sandbox, ask the user to confirm it works (e.g. "Can you confirm `docker ps` runs without sudo?") before proceeding.

### Step 0b: Resolve Repo Checkout

The skill needs AMC repo assets (`compose/`, sample data, and `models/`). Resolve an existing checkout first; ask before cloning into `~/auto-magic-calib`.

```bash
REPO_URL="https://github.com/NVIDIA-AI-IOT/auto-magic-calib.git"
DEFAULT_CLONE_DIR="$HOME/auto-magic-calib"
CURRENT_GIT_ROOT="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || true)"

is_amc_checkout() {
  [ -n "$1" ] \
    && [ -f "$1/README.md" ] \
    && grep -q "AutoMagicCalib" "$1/README.md" 2>/dev/null \
    && [ -f "$1/compose/compose.yml" ] \
    && grep -q "auto-magic-calib-ms" "$1/compose/ms/compose.yml" 2>/dev/null \
    && grep -q "auto-magic-calib-ui" "$1/compose/ui/compose.yml" 2>/dev/null
}

REPO_ROOT=""
for candidate in \
  "$CURRENT_GIT_ROOT" \
  "${CURRENT_GIT_ROOT:+$CURRENT_GIT_ROOT/tools/auto-magic-calib}" \
  "${DEEPSTREAM_REPO_ROOT:+$DEEPSTREAM_REPO_ROOT/tools/auto-magic-calib}" \
  "$PWD/tools/auto-magic-calib" \
  "$DEFAULT_CLONE_DIR"; do
  if is_amc_checkout "$candidate"; then
    REPO_ROOT="$candidate"
    echo "✓ Using auto-magic-calib checkout: $REPO_ROOT"
    break
  fi
done

if [ -z "$REPO_ROOT" ]; then
  if [ -n "$CURRENT_GIT_ROOT" ] && [ -d "$CURRENT_GIT_ROOT/tools/auto-magic-calib" ]; then
    echo "Found $CURRENT_GIT_ROOT/tools/auto-magic-calib, but it is not an initialized AMC checkout."
    echo "If running from the DeepStream repository root:"
    echo "  git submodule update --init tools/auto-magic-calib"
  fi

  # Nothing usable on disk — STOP and ask the user for confirmation using the
  # host's question mechanism; if none is available, ask in chat and wait.
  # Do NOT clone silently from this block or clone over a tracked submodule path.
  echo "No usable auto-magic-calib checkout found. Ask the user for confirmation:"
  echo "  Clone $REPO_URL into $DEFAULT_CLONE_DIR? [y/N]"
  echo "On 'y' — run: git clone \"$REPO_URL\" \"$DEFAULT_CLONE_DIR\""
  exit 1
fi

cd "$REPO_ROOT"
export REPO_ROOT
echo "REPO_ROOT=$REPO_ROOT"
```

> **Agent note**: never clone silently. Prefer initialized DeepStream `tools/auto-magic-calib`; do not clone over that submodule path. If it exists but is empty, ask the user to run `git submodule update --init tools/auto-magic-calib`. Honour an alternate AMC path if provided.

### Step 0c: Install Python venv (New Systems Only)

On a fresh system, `pip` and `python3-venv` may not be available. Install them first:

```bash
# Create a venv for HuggingFace CLI (project-local preferred)
REPO_DIR="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)"
HF_VENV="${REPO_DIR}/venv"
python3 -m venv "$HF_VENV" 2>/dev/null || {
  echo "ERROR: python3-venv not available." >&2
  echo "Install it manually: sudo apt install -y python3-venv python3-pip" >&2
  exit 1
}

# Install HuggingFace hub (needed for VGGT download)
"$HF_VENV/bin/pip" install --upgrade pip huggingface_hub
```

> **Note**: Skip this step if a venv with `hf` already exists (check `venv/bin/hf` in the repo root or `~/venv/amc/bin/hf`).

### Step 1: Login to NGC

Ask the user for their NGC API key using the host's question mechanism; if none is available, ask in chat and wait. Then run:

```bash
echo "<NGC_API_KEY>" | docker login nvcr.io --username '$oauthtoken' --password-stdin
echo "✓ NGC authentication complete"
```

### Step 2: Download VGGT Model (If Not Already Present)

```bash
export REPO_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
cd "$REPO_ROOT"

if [ -f "models/vggt/vggt_1B_commercial.pt" ]; then
  echo "✓ VGGT model already present"
else
  echo "✗ VGGT model not found"
  echo "Options:"
  echo "  1. Continue without VGGT (AMC only - sufficient for most use cases)"
  echo "  2. Download VGGT model (~4.7GB, requires HuggingFace account)"
fi
```

**To download VGGT**: ask the user to accept the license at https://huggingface.co/facebook/VGGT-1B-Commercial and provide a read token from https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens using the host's question mechanism. Pass it through `HF_TOKEN` so it is not exposed in `ps` output:
```bash
REPO_DIR="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)"
cd "$REPO_DIR"

# Find the HuggingFace CLI binary (named 'hf', not 'huggingface-cli')
HF_BIN="$(find "$REPO_DIR/venv" ~/venv/amc -name hf -type f 2>/dev/null | head -1)"
{ [ -z "$HF_BIN" ] || [ ! -x "$HF_BIN" ]; } && { echo "ERROR: hf binary not found or not executable; install the hf CLI (Step 0c) or set HF_BIN" >&2; exit 1; }

# Do NOT use --token on the command line (leaks via ps/argv). The HF CLI
# reads HF_TOKEN from the environment automatically.
HF_TOKEN="<HF_TOKEN>" "$HF_BIN" download facebook/VGGT-1B-Commercial \
  --local-dir models/vggt/

# Verify
ls -lh models/vggt/vggt_1B_commercial.pt
# Should show ~4.7GB file
```
