Description

Description

Deprecate and remove the legacy function debuggability surface from NVCF. Define the exact affected APIs, configuration, runtime behavior, and user workflows before removal, and provide a clear migration path for any supported replacement.

Reconcile this work with the profiling and interactive debugging initiatives tracked by #76 and #77 so new workflows do not depend on surfaces scheduled for removal.

Definition of Done

  • Inventory affected API endpoints, request and response fields, configuration, permissions, CLI commands, runtime components, and documentation.
  • Identify current consumers and define the supported replacement workflow, or explicitly document that there is no replacement.
  • Define and publish the deprecation timeline, compatibility window, and removal release.
  • Prevent new dependencies on the deprecated surface.
  • Provide clear warnings or errors during the compatibility window.
  • Migrate existing consumers and ensure existing functions do not retain orphaned debugging state.
  • Remove deprecated control-plane, ICMS, NVCA, worker, Helm, RBAC, and CLI integration where applicable.
  • Remove obsolete logs, metrics, dashboards, alerts, and documentation without breaking supported observability.
  • Add automated coverage for compatibility behavior, migration, authorization, cleanup, and final removal.
  • Update customer release notes and operator guidance.

Resources (optional)

  • #76
  • #77

Research direction

Start by inventorying the affected API endpoints, configuration, permissions, CLI commands, runtime components, Helm and RBAC integration, and documentation. Reconcile the findings with profiling initiative #76 and interactive debugging initiative #77, then define the replacement or no-replacement path, deprecation timeline, compatibility behavior, migration, and final removal coverage.
