📝 Walkthrough

The change adds explicit MLflow tracking controls, URI-aware artifact location handling, and data output folder propagation for data-generation runs. It updates CLI and MLflow documentation and adds unit and integration tests.

Changes: MLflow behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
CLI tracking and artifact resolution
src/lanfactory/cli/utils.py, src/lanfactory/cli/jax_train.py, src/lanfactory/cli/torch_train.py, tests/test_cli_utils.py, docs/api/cli.md
Both training CLIs support --mlflow/--no-mlflow. Shared helpers resolve tracking enablement and preserve artifact URIs while converting local paths to absolute paths. Tests and CLI reference tables cover the behavior.
Data-generation run metadata propagation
src/lanfactory/utils/mlflow_utils.py, tests/test_mlflow_integration.py, docs/using_mlflow.md
get_files_from_data_generation_experiment adds a normalized data_output_folder value to each run result. Integration tests cover logged and missing parameters. MLflow documentation adds schema and deployment references.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1256c

The new MLflow controls can violate explicit opt-out behavior by creating lingering lineage runs, and some documented MLflow configurations may silently produce untracked training runs. These tracking and run-lifecycle inconsistencies should be corrected before merge.

🟡 Changes recommended

The new --mlflow/--no-mlflow option is implemented as a tri-state but is annotated as bool while defaulting to None, which can cause incorrect CLI/type behavior and should be fixed before approval.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

This PR improves MLflow integration for running LANfactory training on a shared MLflow server by (a) making MLflow tracking “auto-enable” when the environment is configured, (b) avoiding breaking artifact URIs by over-normalizing them, and (c) carrying through a data_output_folder param from data-generation runs so training can locate data in MLflow-first mode.

Changes:

  • Add CLI logic to auto-enable MLflow tracking when MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI is set, with an explicit --mlflow/--no-mlflow override.
  • Normalize MLflow artifact locations by making local paths absolute while leaving URI schemes untouched.
  • Extend get_files_from_data_generation_experiment() to include data_output_folder in runs_info, with test coverage.

77-88: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a Windows drive-letter test case.

The tests cover empty/None input, relative and absolute local paths, and 5 URI schemes. Add a case for a Windows drive-letter path, since the function's docstring specifically calls out drive letters as the reason for the len(scheme) > 1 check instead of a simpler heuristic. Without this case, a future refactor of the scheme check could silently break drive-letter handling without failing any test.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The --mlflow/--no-mlflow auto-enable condition is documented in three places as "any --mlflow-* option", but resolve_mlflow_tracking_enabled (src/lanfactory/cli/utils.py, Lines 190-214) only checks mlflow_run_name, mlflow_run_id, data_generation_experiment_id, and the MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI environment variable. A user who sets only --mlflow-tracking-uri and --mlflow-experiment-name gets no tracking and no warning, contrary to the documented behavior.

  • src/lanfactory/cli/jax_train.py#L67-L69: name the specific options (--mlflow-run-name, --mlflow-run-id, --data-generation-experiment-id) instead of "any --mlflow-* option" in the Typer help string.
  • docs/api/cli.md#L23-L23: update the jaxtrain table row to match the corrected wording.
  • docs/api/cli.md#L45-L45: update the torchtrain table row to match the corrected wording.

🌐 Web query:

MLflow Python API set_tag log_param automatically starts a run when no active run exists

💡 Result:

Yes, in the MLflow Python "fluent" API, calling logging functions—including mlflow.set_tag and mlflow.log_param—will automatically start a new run if no active run exists [1][2][3]. When you invoke these functions without an active run, MLflow handles the initialization of a new run on your behalf [2][3]. This is designed to simplify the tracking process by removing the requirement to explicitly call mlflow.start_run before every logging operation [2][4]. This behavior applies to the core fluent logging functions, such as: - mlflow.log_param [5][3] - mlflow.log_metric [2] - mlflow.set_tag [1][5] While this automatic behavior provides convenience, it is often recommended to use the context manager syntax (with mlflow.start_run:) in production code. This approach ensures that the run is properly managed and automatically terminated once the code block completes, which helps prevent issues with dangling or unclosed runs [6][3][7].

Citations:


Guard lineage logging with mlflow_tracking_enabled.

When mlflow_tracking_enabled is false, torch_train.py still calls log_training_data_lineage. Its fluent MLflow calls can create an implicit run, which then remains active because cleanup is also conditional.

Keep the MLflow query and file validation, but guard the lineage logger:

@cpaniaguam the four red jobs here are the pandas 3 copy-on-write failure in test_jax_train_cli_smoke ("assignment destination is read-only"), which #140 fixed on main on Oct 5, after this last ran. Could you merge main into this branch so CI re-runs? #143 is stacked on top and inherits the same stale failure. Once green, both get a proper review.
