  • Enhanced the logic for clearing notebook controllers to ensure only tracked controllers are unselected.
  • Updated the clearControllerForEnvironment method to clean up associated metadata correctly.
  • Added unit tests to verify the behavior of environment configuration and controller unselection for Deepnote kernels.
  • Ensured that the system correctly handles cases where the active interpreter differs from the cached interpreter.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Deepnote notebooks now use the selected Python interpreter for kernel setup and server connections.
    • Toolkit availability is checked when execution begins, with options to install it, choose another interpreter, or cancel.
    • Kernel picker details now show the associated Python environment and version.
    • Added support for running Deepnote notebooks in bare virtual environments.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Python/Jupyter API startup now fails with a clear timeout instead of waiting indefinitely.
    • Improved handling of startup errors, cancelled installations, and unavailable interpreters.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Deepnote notebooks now use the active Python interpreter for kernel selection, controller tracking, server startup, and environment-path resolution. Toolkit installation is deferred until execution and uses a dedicated dependency service with explicit outcome handling. Toolkit metadata is centralized and pip installation is pinned. Python API handshakes now time out. Unit and end-to-end tests cover interpreter selection, installation prompts, server reuse, cleanup, and notebook execution.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 85986

This PR changes Deepnote kernel, server, and environment lifecycle handling. A canceled startup may leave an orphaned server, incomplete cached environments may be accepted, and kernel selection or interpreter readiness can report incorrect results in specific edge cases. These bounded but concrete correctness and lifecycle risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 60.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 15 functions across 27 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Full details: Updates Docs

Explanation

The feature changes the Deepnote setup flow, but the PR changes no documentation files. The public deepnote/deepnote documentation still describes the older environment-panel and virtual-environment workflow. It does not document active-interpreter selection, deferred server startup, or toolkit consent on first execution. The private deepnote-internal repository is not accessible, so its roadmap update cannot be verified.

Resolution

Update the primary documentation in deepnote/deepnote for the new interpreter-based Deepnote kernel flow: opening a notebook only registers a controller, and the toolkit install prompt and server startup occur on first execution. Update the roadmap on the landing page in deepnote/deepnote-internal. Access to the private repository is required to verify that update.

Comment thread src/platform/interpreter/installer/pipInstaller.node.ts Outdated
Resolves 4 conflicting files. The branch's interpreter-based direction is kept;
main's changes to the same code are carried forward:

deepnoteServerStarter.node.ts
- Keep IInstaller/Product.deepnoteToolkit and deriveEnvPath (branch); take
  applyIntegrationEndpointEnv over the deleted gatherSqlIntegrationEnvVars (#440).

deepnoteKernelAutoSelector.node.ts
- Drop onKernelStarted/init staging: IDeepnoteInitNotebookRunner no longer exists,
  the runner subscribes to kernel start itself (#429).
- getOriginalProject -> getProjectForNotebook (#429).
- Collapse baseFileUri/projectKey/notebookKey to getNotebookKey() (#429).
- Replace the local projectServerHandles map with IServerHandleRegistry, keeping
  #429's lifecycle: the old handle is unregistered only after a successful switch.
- Restore the controller identity check (#358) and findNotebookEditor, so
  notebook.selectKernel gets a NotebookEditor rather than a NotebookDocument (#430).
- Restore the cancellation early-return in handleKernelSelectionError (#409).
- Placeholder controllers and the select_environment telemetry call site stay
  removed: both existed only to drive the environment picker this branch deletes.

Tests
- Port main's server-handle lifecycle, controller-identity and cancellation tests;
  drop the environment-picker, placeholder and telemetry tests along with the code.
- Stub the Python API in the DeepnoteServerStarter suite, which now reaches
  deriveEnvPath -> getCachedEnvironment.

ensureKernelSelected reports success when the Python extension is missing.

ensureKernelSelectedWithInterpreter returns early here without creating a controller. ensureKernelSelected still returns true (Line 271), so the caller at Line 147 logs nothing and the notebook stays without a kernel. Return a value that reflects setup completion, or let the caller check notebookControllers.

Coverage gap: same-id replacement controller.

This test gives controller A and controller B different IDs, so it passes with either an id comparison or an identity comparison. The risky case is a selected controller that shares the tracked controller's ID but is a different object. Add that case once the id comparison in clearControllerForEnvironment is fixed.

Controller reuse skips the server liveness check.

The reuse path returns as soon as the tracked interpreter ID matches. It never calls serverStarter.startServer, which owns the isServerRunning probe and the restart logic. If the toolkit server process died, the notebook keeps a controller that points at a dead server.

startServer is idempotent and returns the existing server when it is alive, so calling it before the reuse return costs one HTTP probe.

As per coding guidelines: "Validate cached state before early returns - before returning 'already configured', verify the state is still valid".

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Compare controller identity, not id.

The doc comment at Line 575 states that this method compares the tracked controller instance. The code compares id. Deepnote controller IDs are derived from the notebook URI, so a disposed controller and its replacement share one ID — ensureControllerSelectedForNotebook documents exactly this at Line 463. With the id comparison, this method can clear tracking state for a replacement controller that the selector no longer regards as stale.

Use object identity to match the documented behavior.

🔧 Proposed fix
         const selectedController = this.controllerRegistration.getSelected(notebook);
-        if (!selectedController || selectedController.id !== trackedController.id) {
+        if (selectedController !== trackedController) {
             return; // Selected controller isn't the one we own
         }

…hake

Opening any .deepnote notebook hung at "Starting Deepnote server..." and the
kernel never started.

DeepnoteServerStarter now checks the toolkit through IInstaller, which reaches
IEnvironmentActivationService -> IPythonApiProvider.getApi(). That promise is
resolved by `registerPythonApi`, which the Python extension only calls on the
extension it knows as `ms-toolsai.jupyter`; this fork ships as
`Deepnote.vscode-deepnote`, so the callback never arrives. getApi() is awaited
with no token and no timeout, so isInstalled() never returned. The environment
based flow never touched this path, which is why it only surfaces now.

Fail the promise once the handshake has clearly not landed. Callers already
handle it: getActivatedEnvironmentVariablesImpl catches and returns undefined,
and createActivatedEnvironment then falls back to unactivated execution.

Add an E2E test for the environment-free flow: a workspace whose active
interpreter is a bare venv, so opening the notebook installs deepnote-toolkit
into that interpreter and runs the cell. The cell prints sys.prefix, so the
output proves the kernel ran in that venv rather than a Deepnote-managed
environment. Asserts on the venv contents rather than the transient install
toast, which is missed on a retry.

Verified: E2E test fails (install never runs) without the fix and passes with
it; typecheck 0, 2761 unit tests passing, 0 failing.

Do not treat notification read failures as notification clearance.

A failed getNotifications() or getMessage() call currently produces no match and returns true. The kernel test can then run before setup completes. Extract the shared notification scan, and return false for an unknown scan result so the driver retries.

As per coding guidelines, “Extract duplicate logic into helper methods to prevent drift following DRY principle.”

…l start

Brings the toolkit install in line with how the Jupyter extension handles a
missing Python dependency.

Consent. The install no longer runs unattended. DeepnoteToolkitDependencyService
mirrors KernelDependencyService: the same modal message ("Running cells with
'{env}' requires the {pkg} package."), Install as the default, and a
"Select a different Interpreter" escape hatch for users who do not want the
package in the interpreter that happens to be active. It cannot reuse that
service directly because installMissingDependencies is keyed on a
KernelConnectionMetadata, and a Deepnote connection cannot exist until the
toolkit server is running -- which is what the check gates.

Kernel start, not notebook open. Opening a .deepnote file now only offers a
placeholder controller; nothing is installed and no server starts. Running a
cell performs the check, the prompt, the install and the server start, then
asks the user to re-run -- the same shape main used before environments were
removed.

Cancellation. Declining or cancelling aborts the kernel start and execution
does not proceed, with no error dialog: a user-initiated stop is not a failure.
An install that runs and does not take is still reported as a failure.

The server starter no longer installs anything; it starts servers.

Tests: unit coverage for each consent outcome (verified to fail when the prompt
is bypassed). The E2E test now asserts that opening the notebook starts no
install, drives the modal, and captures screenshots of the prompt, the
kernel-ready state and the cell output.

Verified: typecheck 0, 2767 unit tests passing, E2E green with the flow
confirmed visually.

The Deepnote case returned the .deepnote project title, so the kernel picker
described the document rather than the runtime: every notebook in a project
carried the same label, and nothing told the user which interpreter the kernel
would use -- the one thing worth checking before consenting to an install.

Use the same implementation as 'startUsingPythonInterpreter':
getDisplayNameOrNameOfPythonKernelConnection, which yields "<env> (Python
<version>)" -- e.g. ".venv (Python 3.12.13)" -- falling back to "Python
<version>" for an unrecognised environment and to the kernelspec name when
there is no interpreter at all.

The environmentName fallback below it was already unreachable (projectName
always had a value, defaulting to 'Untitled Project'), so the interpreter path
this PR started storing there was never displayed.

projectName is dropped from the connection metadata: it existed only for this
label, is not serialized by toJSON, and the project title is still shown on the
editor tab and in the Deepnote status bar. environmentName and notebookName stay
-- they participate in connection equality.

Verified: 2769 unit tests passing; the naming test fails when the environment
branch is removed; E2E green with the picker confirmed reading
".venv (Python 3.12.13)".

getKernelDisplayPathFromKernelConnection had no case for
'startUsingDeepnoteKernel', so it fell into the non-Python branch and took the
description straight from kernelSpec.executable. The toolkit server serves the
stock ipykernel spec, whose executable is a bare "python", so the kernel picker
showed "/python" -- a path that does not exist.

Group the kind with the other kernelspec-backed Python kinds. The branch already
resolves a bare "python" through the connection's interpreter, so the description
becomes the environment folder, rendered workspace-relative -- ".venv" for a
project-local venv, matching upstream.

Verified: the description test fails against the old branch ("/python" instead of
"/work/.venv"); 2770 unit tests passing; the E2E now opens the kernel picker and
captures it, confirming the entry reads ".venv (Python 3.12.13)" with ".venv" as
its description.

The placeholder came in with #310 to prompt for a Deepnote environment, so it
was a leftover of the design this PR removes. Upstream has no equivalent: it
creates one controller per discovered connection and only starts a session on
execute.

Do the same. Opening a notebook now registers a real Deepnote controller for the
active interpreter, with the stock python3 spec as a stand-in and no baseUrl.
The kernel picker shows one correctly named entry from the moment the file
opens, instead of a second "Deepnote Kernel" row that only re-ran setup.

The first execution still gates on consent, installs, starts the server and
calls addOrUpdate, which updates that controller's connection in place. Because
the controller is real, the run that triggered the prompt is the run that
executes -- the "run the cells again" step is gone.

Both reuse fast paths previously matched on controller + interpreter alone,
which a registered-but-not-started controller satisfies; they would have run
cells against a server that was never started. They now go through isKernelReady,
which additionally requires a connection carrying a baseUrl. Covered by a test
that fails without it.

Also drops the deepnote-loading-kernel mock, which only existed to satisfy the
placeholder's createNotebookController call.

Verified: 2771 unit tests passing; E2E green with screenshots confirming the
kernel is named ".venv (Python 3.12.13)" at open with nothing installed, and the
picker listing a single entry.

Return kernel readiness after setup.

If ensureKernelSelectedWithInterpreter returns early, such as when the Python extension is unavailable, the pending controller remains in notebookControllers. Line 593 then returns true although its connection still has an empty baseUrl. The caller can proceed with a controller that has no running server.

Return this.isKernelReady(notebookKey, interpreter.id) after withProgress. Update the pending-controller test to assert that the method returns false.

…l check

Lint: pipInstaller is platform code and imported DEEPNOTE_TOOLKIT_VERSION from
kernels/deepnote/types, tripping import/no-restricted-paths -- the CI failure
this PR has carried since it started pinning the pip package. Move the constant
to platform/common/constants, where the installer can reach it without crossing
the boundary, and point the two kernels-side consumers at it.

Spell check, two words:
- "fspath" appeared only in an eslint-disable for local-rules/dont-use-fspath in
  deriveEnvPath. Rather than add it to the dictionary, use the helper that rule
  points at -- getFilePath -- which drops the suppression along with the word.
- "kernelspecs" was prose in a doc comment, so it is reworded to "the kernels it
  offers".

Verified: lint 0 errors, cspell 0 issues, 2771 unit tests passing, E2E green --
the run asserts sys.prefix matches the venv, which exercises the getFilePath
swap in deriveEnvPath.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_019cqzx43mLQRvVfWbfEUUSx
Two content conflicts, both from the same root cause, plus one semantic
conflict CI would have caught.

Toolkit version and packages (types.ts, deepnoteToolkitInstaller.node.ts):
main (#470) made src/kernels/deepnote/toolkitSpec.json the single source of
truth for the pinned version and added DEEPNOTE_TOOLKIT_PACKAGES, so
test/e2e/helpers/venv.ts and the CI cache keys read the same file. This
branch had moved DEEPNOTE_TOOLKIT_VERSION out of kernels/deepnote/types.ts
into platform/common/constants.ts, because pipInstaller.node.ts is platform
code and importing from kernels/ trips import-plugin/no-restricted-paths.

Resolved by moving toolkitSpec.json to src/platform/common/, which keeps
both: the JSON stays the one place the version and package list are
written, and every consumer -- platform, kernels, the E2E venv helper --
reaches it without crossing a layer boundary. types.ts no longer carries
either constant. The alternative, importing the JSON into platform from
kernels/, lints clean only because the rule's `from` glob is scoped to
*.ts; that is the loophole, not the boundary.

Follow-on edits from the move:
- test/e2e/helpers/venv.ts import path
- .github/workflows/e2e.yml, both hashFiles() cache keys

E2E sharding (interpreterKernel.e2e.test.ts): main shards the suite by
directory and added a verify-coverage job that fails the build when a spec
sits directly in test/e2e/suite/. Moved to test/e2e/suite/interpreter/ with
a matching matrix entry rather than into an existing group: every other
suite adopts the pre-baked .venv-e2e, while this one needs an interpreter
that does not yet have the toolkit, so it neither benefits from nor should
share an instance with them. Shards run in parallel, so the extra group
costs no wall clock.

Clean up when startup is canceled.

@deepnote/runtime-core@0.5.0 does not accept a cancellation signal. Recheck the extension CancellationToken after startServer resolves and call stopServer(serverInfo) before storing the server as active. Otherwise, cancellation during startup can leave a running orphan server.

32-50: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate all required toolkit packages before accepting the cache.

isUsable() checks only deepnote-toolkit. If the cached venv lacks ipykernel, python-lsp-server[all], or deepnote-cli, it still returns true, so ensureManagedVenv() skips the installation branch and returns an incomplete interpreter. Validate every required distribution before accepting the cache, or repair the venv when a check fails.

As per coding guidelines: “Validate cached state before early returns.”

Continue cleanup when one kernel spec fails.

fs.readFileSync() or fs.rmSync() can throw during one loop iteration. The exception currently aborts pruneForeignKernelSpecs() and prevents ensureManagedVenv() from completing. Wrap each iteration in try/catch, log the affected entry, and continue with the remaining specs.

As per coding guidelines: “Use per-iteration error handling in loops.”

…nment suites

This PR selects the kernel from the workspace's active Python interpreter, so
the Deepnote-environment path no longer decides which kernel a notebook gets:
selectEnvironmentForNotebook stores the mapping and then rebuilds the
controller from getActiveInterpreter(), ignoring the environment's own venv.
The suites that leaned on createEnvironment/selectEnvironmentForNotebook were
therefore setting up something the kernel does not read, and would have stopped
on the install-consent modal in CI, where the active interpreter has no toolkit.

Instead of teaching each suite to provision an interpreter, writeGeneratedSettings
now pins python.defaultInterpreterPath to the pre-baked .venv-e2e alongside the
existing python.venvPath. That one line gives every temp workspace an interpreter
that already carries deepnote-toolkit, so opening a notebook registers a
controller and the first Run All goes straight through server start to execution.
The setting is machine-overridable, so suite/interpreter/ still gets its
toolkit-free venv from its own workspace .vscode/settings.json.

The rest is deletion: the two environment suites go (both assert on environment
mechanics -- sidecar migration and delete-stops-server -- with no interpreter
equivalent), the `environments` matrix group with them, and the now-callerless
deepnoteEnvironment.ts helper plus the seven constants only it used. Five suites
lose their environment setup calls and nothing else.

Verified locally, all five shards against a freshly packaged VSIX:
  agent 8, execution 4, files 25 (+1 pending), interpreter 1, workspace 23
  = 61 passing, 0 failing
Also green: typecheck, compile-tsc, compile-e2e, lint, spell-check, and 2780
unit tests.

Snapshots had been recording nothing since this branch stopped routing kernel
selection through Deepnote environments. EnvironmentCapture resolved what to
record via the notebook->environment mapper, and that mapping is only ever
written by the manual "Select Environment for Notebook" command or by the
splitter migrating an existing one. On main the kernel path wrote it before
starting the kernel, so it was always there by execution time; here nothing
does, so captureEnvironment returned undefined on the first branch and the
snapshot kept whatever `environment` the source file already had.

It failed soft -- one log line, snapshot still written -- so every test stayed
green while python version, platform and the package set silently stopped being
recorded.

Read it off the active interpreter instead, which is the interpreter the kernel
actually ran in, so no mapping and no stored state is needed. Two things follow:

- Packages come from `<interpreter> -m pip freeze` rather than a
  `<venv>/bin/pip` path. The old form assumed a venv layout; the active
  interpreter can be conda, poetry or system, where that binary is not there.
- python.environment reports getEnvironmentType() instead of a hardcoded 'venv',
  whose comment ("we manage the venv ... so this will always be a venv") stopped
  being true when the kernel moved to the user's own interpreter.

The three shell-outs move from private to protected so a subclass can stand in
for them; execFile is a module binding and cannot be stubbed under ESM, which is
why captureEnvironment had no unit coverage at all before.

Verified. The three new capture tests fail against the old behaviour (restored
by hand) and pass now; 2785 unit tests green. End to end, against a repackaged
VSIX, a snapshot written by the suite went from `environment: {}` to 219
packages with python 3.12.13 / linux-x64, with the 6 snapshot E2E tests passing
either way -- they assert nothing about environment, which is why this got
through in the first place.

The kernel now comes from the workspace's active Python interpreter, so nothing
in the execution path consulted a Deepnote environment any more. What remained
was a parallel way to describe an interpreter that no longer decided anything:
selectEnvironmentForNotebook stored a mapping and then rebuilt the controller
from getActiveInterpreter(), ignoring the environment's own venv entirely.

BREAKING CHANGE: the Environments view and its six deepnote.environments.*
commands are gone, along with the `.vscode/deepnote.json` sidecar. Existing
environments are left on disk untouched; nothing reads them.

Removed:
- src/kernels/deepnote/environments/ (manager, storage, tree view, sidecar
  writer, notebook mapper, activation service)
- IDeepnoteEnvironmentManager and IDeepnoteNotebookEnvironmentMapper
- clearControllerForEnvironment, whose only caller was the environments view
- the Environments view, its 6 commands, 6 menu entries, the walkthrough step
  that pointed at the panel, and their nls strings

The splitter's env-migration branch goes with it, which cost its rollback test
its failure trigger -- the post-rename step it forced to fail was the env
mapping removal. Repointed at the refresh callback, which is what still runs
after the rename, so the "rolls back a rename it cannot complete" coverage is
kept rather than dropped.

The sidecar writer's stated purpose was exposing env mappings to external tools.
Checked the CLI at /workspace/deepnote before deleting it: it never reads
.vscode/deepnote.json, and never writes the snapshot `environment` block either
-- the field is optional in the shared schema.

Verified: typecheck, compile-tsc, compile-e2e, lint, spell-check all clean;
2680 unit tests passing (101 fewer, all of them environment tests). Full E2E
against a repackaged VSIX -- agent 8, execution 4, files 25, interpreter 1,
workspace 23 = 61 passing, 0 failing, unchanged from before the removal.
