Grade the run via was_run_successful() - now based on the per-test exit_code.txt file (non-zero = FAILED).

Summary

Every run of SlurmContainer workload was reported PASSED in the scenario summary regardless of what the
container actually did. Grade the run from the container real exit code, which CloudAI already records in slurm-job.toml

Implement was_run_successful() to grade each run from the container command's actual exit code. The generated command writes the exit code to a per-test exit_code.txt file, allowing accurate reporting in both regular and single-sbatch modes without changes to user scripts or container images.

Slurm container exit status handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Exit status grading contract
src/cloudai/workloads/slurm_container/slurm_container.py, tests/workloads/slurm_container/test_slurm_container.py
Adds optional exit-code checking and grades missing, unreadable, invalid, zero, and nonzero exit_code.txt values.
Command exit status recording
src/cloudai/workloads/slurm_container/slurm_command_gen_strategy.py, tests/workloads/slurm_container/test_command_gen_strategy_slurm.py
Captures command status, writes it to the per-test output path, and preserves the status as the generated command exit code.
Configuration and status documentation
doc/workloads/slurm_container.rst
Updates examples to use docker_image_url and documents exit-code-based run status handling.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1aefe

When asynchronous Slurm execution is combined with exit-code checking, a run can be marked PASSED before the container finishes, allowing later failures to be reported incorrectly. Merge should wait for completion or reject this configuration.

Inline comments:
In `@src/cloudai/workloads/slurm_container/slurm_container.py`:
- Around line 71-72: The `was_run_successful` path in `SlurmContainer` currently
lets `toml.load()` and `SlurmJobMetadata.model_validate()` throw on bad or
partial `slurm-job.toml`, which can abort `Reporter.is_successful()` and
`BaseRunner.get_job_status()`. Wrap the metadata parsing in this method with
error handling, catch parse/validation failures, and return a failed
`JobStatusResult` that includes an error message instead of propagating the
exception. Keep the fix localized to the `was_run_successful` logic and preserve
the existing success path when metadata loads correctly.

In `@tests/workloads/slurm_container/test_slurm_container.py`:
- Around line 62-73: The pytest parametrization in the test module uses a tuple
of tuples for `pytest.mark.parametrize`, which triggers PT007. Update the
`parametrize` values in `test_slurm_container.py` to use a list of tuples
instead of a tuple, keeping the existing `exit_code` and `is_successful` cases
unchanged.

- Around line 56-58: Update the success-criteria documentation to describe
CloudAI reading per-test exit_code.txt from the test output directory: only
integer 0 succeeds, while non-zero, missing, malformed, unreadable, or
undecodable files fail the run; explicitly remove the claim that 0:0 is
accepted.

Grade the run via was_run_successful() - now based on the
per-test exit_code.txt file (non-zero = FAILED).

Document the exit-code file and its parsing and failure rules.

Move exit-code recording outside per-task container execution so one
host-side writer records the aggregate srun result. Add multi-task
coverage and update the sbatch reference.

I'm somewhat concerned about backwards compatibility. Existing configs that were expected to finish with non-zero exit code (or used --async in extra_srun_args for running container) would start to fail

Could you please make the new functionality optional with check_exit_code feature-flag property in SlurmContainerCmdArgs or SlurmContainerTestDefinition

Thanks. Done

Disable exit-code checking by default to preserve existing behavior.
Allow configurations to enable status capture and grading explicitly.

Reject --async when check_exit_code is enabled.

extra_srun_args forwards arbitrary srun options. With --async, srun returns 0 before the container finishes, so the wrapper records 0 and can mark a later container failure as PASSED. Reject this combination or wait for the step to complete before capturing its exit code.
