We had two names in the ModelDeploymentCard: display_name and service_name. They were either always identical, or service_name was a slug-ified version of the display_name.

Having two names is confusing, especially for #2267 .

Now we only have display_name. The HTTP server gets to decide how to translate that to the model HTTP field (if at all), it's not in the card. In practice it still uses a slug.

Most of the code change in here is because I merged model_card/create.rs and model_card/model.rs. It always confused me why the object and it's implementation should be in separate files (modules). It confused Rust too, we had to make fields pub just to access them. I suspect it was a pattern from a different language mis-applied to Rust. Is fixed.

Walkthrough

This change consolidates and restructures the Model Deployment Card (MDC) system for LLMs by replacing the previous modular implementation with a comprehensive, single-file approach in model_card.rs. It removes redundant license headers, updates import paths to reflect the new structure, adds doc comments, and derives Default for the Slug struct. The new model_card.rs unifies model metadata, tokenizer, prompt formatting, generation configuration, and deployment management, while ensuring async capability and extensibility.

Model Card System Refactor
lib/llm/src/model_card.rs, lib/llm/src/model_card/model.rs, lib/llm/src/model_card/create.rs
Replaces modular model card system with a unified, comprehensive implementation in model_card.rs. Removes previous files and introduces new enums, structs, traits, and async methods for model info, tokenizer, prompt formatter, and deployment management.
Import Path Simplification

Local Model Doc and Logic Update
lib/llm/src/local_model.rs
Adds doc comments to display_name and service_name methods. Changes service_name to return a slug generated on demand instead of a stored value.
Slug Struct Enhancement
lib/runtime/src/slug.rs

Poem

A hop, a skip, a code refactored neat,
Model cards now gathered in a single seat.
Slugs get their defaults, docs shine anew,
Imports are simpler, the structure’s in view.
With tokens and configs all snug in one file,
This bunny reviews with a satisfied smile.

🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
lib/runtime/src/slug.rs (1)

24-25: Deriving Default permits Slug("") – confirm that an empty slug is acceptable

#[derive(Default)] automatically creates impl Default for Slug { fn default() -> Self { Slug(String::default()) } }, i.e. an empty string.
Nothing else in this type currently prevents "" from propagating; TryFrom validates characters but not length, and slugify_* always return a non-empty string. If downstream code relies on Slug being non-empty (e.g. for NATS subjects, filenames, URLs) this silent default could surface subtle runtime errors.

If a non-empty value is required, consider a manual impl:

-#[derive(Serialize, Clone, Debug, Eq, PartialEq, Default)]
+#[derive(Serialize, Clone, Debug, Eq, PartialEq)]
+
+impl Default for Slug {
+    fn default() -> Self {
+        // use a clearly-invalid token so problems explode early
+        Slug("_unset".into())
+    }
+}

Otherwise, add explicit documentation that Slug::default() produces an empty string and is valid in all contexts.

lib/llm/src/model_card.rs (1)

748-759: Consider using standard library methods for capitalization.

The current implementation works but could be simplified using Rust's built-in string manipulation methods.

 fn capitalize(s: &str) -> String {
-    s.chars()
-        .enumerate()
-        .map(|(i, c)| {
-            if i == 0 {
-                c.to_uppercase().to_string()
-            } else {
-                c.to_lowercase().to_string()
-            }
-        })
-        .collect()
+    let mut chars = s.chars();
+    match chars.next() {
+        None => String::new(),
+        Some(first) => first.to_uppercase().collect::<String>() + &chars.as_str().to_lowercase(),
+    }
 }

Learning: In Rust async code, when an Arc<Mutex<_>> is used solely to transfer ownership of a resource (like a channel receiver) into a spawned task rather than for sharing between multiple tasks, holding the mutex lock across an await is not problematic since there's no actual contention.

Learning: In lib/runtime/src/component/client.rs, the current mutex usage in get_or_create_dynamic_instance_source is temporary while evaluating whether the mutex can be dropped entirely. The code currently has a race condition between try_lock and lock().await, but this is acknowledged as an interim state during the performance optimization process.

Learning: In the leader-worker barrier implementation in lib/runtime/src/utils/leader_worker_barrier.rs, the `wait_for_key_count` function correctly uses exact equality (`==`) instead of greater-than-or-equal (`>=`) because worker IDs must be unique (enforced by etcd create-only operations), ensuring exactly the expected number of workers can register.

259-262: Implementation correctly updated to use slug from ModelDeploymentCard.

The change aligns with the PR objective of removing service_name field and using a slugified version of display_name instead. The documentation clearly explains this is for use in NATS, etcd, etc.

We had two names in the ModelDeploymentCard: display_name and
service_name. They were either always identical, or service_name was a
[slug](https://sentry.io/answers/slug-in-django/)-ified version of the
display_name.

Having two names is confusing, especially for #2267 .

Now we only have `display_name`. The HTTP server gets to decide how to
translate that to the `model` HTTP field (if at all), it's not in the
card. In practice it still uses a slug.

Most of the code change in here is because I merged
`model_card/create.rs` and `model_card/model.rs`. It always confused me
why the object and it's implementation should be in separate files
(modules). It confused Rust too, we had to make fields `pub` just to access them.
I suspect it was a pattern from a different language mis-applied to Rust. Is fixed.
Thank you Code Rabbit for noticing, and Gemini Pro 2.5 for the detailed
perf comparison. What a beautiful future.
