Add unified results for single-sbatch Slurm scenarios

[podkidyshev]

Summary

• Include each single-sbatch case and sweep point in experiment.json, with workload status and canonical metrics. Previously single-sbatch output contained only scenario-level information.
• Match accounting steps by their generated stdout path to report individual UTC timing. For workloads spanning multiple steps, use the earliest start and latest finish. Preserve unknown timing when accounting is unavailable.
• Reuse DSE winner selection for single-sbatch sweeps and populate case metrics from the selected successful trial. Workload success continues to use was_run_successful; allocation-wide status and timing are not applied to every case.

Test Plan

Affected tests on macOS / Python 3.14.3:

uv run --locked --extra dev pytest tests/test_single_sbatch_runner.py tests/test_handlers.py tests/test_cloudaigym.py tests/test_agents.py tests/test_trajectory.py tests/test_gymnasium_adapter_contract.py tests/systems/slurm tests/test_base_runner.py tests/test_output.py tests/test_acceptance.py
325 passed in 3.62s

All pre-commit checks passed for the four changed files. Existing completion and trajectory tests were extended to cover per-case metrics/timing, failure/cancellation, missing execution evidence, and DSE selection; no new test functions were added.

A live single-sbatch test on one eight-H100 node ran a normal NCCL case and a two-point NCCL algorithm sweep. All three executions passed. Downloaded artifacts were analyzed locally using the workload success and canonical metric methods:

• Three completed run records, each with 36 measurements and UTC timing matching its accounting step (31, 32, and 33 seconds).
• Both cases have 36 case-level measurements.
• DSE selected step 1 (Ring), matching the trajectory's highest configured inverse-latency reward.

Additional Notes

Stack: #1030 (ipod/unified-output → main) → #1040 (ipod/unified-slurm → ipod/unified-output) → this PR (ipod/slurm-api-ssbatch → ipod/unified-slurm).

Live progress, iteration aggregation, and DSE with iterations remain separate work.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

SingleSbatchRunner now reconstructs persisted run output from Slurm step metadata, propagates completion status, and records timing and cancellation data. Tests cover multiple job outcomes and DSE trajectory selection, including failed steps.

Changes

Slurm output persistence

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Run output lifecycle src/cloudai/systems/slurm/single_sbatch_runner.py, tests/test_single_sbatch_runner.py	Completion handling now passes JobStatusResult to output processing. get_run_output reconstructs Run data from matching Slurm steps, evaluates success, records timing and duration, and marks cancelled runs. Tests cover completed, failed, cancelled, and unknown outcomes.
DSE output update src/cloudai/systems/slurm/single_sbatch_runner.py, tests/test_single_sbatch_runner.py	DSE processing always updates gym output after combination evaluation. Tests verify trajectory selection, persisted configuration, metrics, and run counts when a step succeeds or fails.

Results for workloads spanning multiple Slurm steps lack their duration even though start and finish times are recorded. Restore the aggregate duration before merging.

Set the duration for multi-step runs.

When multiple steps match, Lines 276-281 set the aggregate start and finish but Lines 282-283 leave run.duration unset. This also conflicts with the changed test, which expects seven seconds for the two-step run.

Use the aggregate interval when more than one step matches.

Proposed fix

 if len(steps) == 1:
     run.duration = steps[0].elapsed_time_sec
+elif run.start is not None and run.finish is not None:
+    run.duration = (run.finish - run.start).total_seconds()
