QTZPOC-20: Add skip_predict_timestamp flag to model_config to prevent timestamp reinsertion in prediction data, and document other ad-hoc behavioral flags.
QTZPOC-20: Prioritize code/ directory download and sys.path injection before model loading, enabling MLflow flavors to stream models directly from URIs and simplifying joblib artifact handling.
QTZPOC-20: Unify artifact code directory handling for all model flavors and standardize joblib pickle path
Implemented a robust mechanism to ensure an artifact's code/ directory is prepended to sys.path before loading for sklearn, pyfunc, and joblib flavors. sklearn and pyfunc now resolve MLflow URIs to local directories first to facilitate this sys.path modification. Standardized the joblib flavor to explicitly read and write model.pkl within the artifact directory. Updated documentation and added comprehensive tests to reflect these changes.
QTZPOC-20: Implement explicit joblib model flavor and enhance model import workflow with extensive E2E tests.
This commit introduces a first-class joblib model flavor for direct loading and saving of Python pickle artifacts, including custom code within the artifact's code/ directory, bypassing MLflow's flavor loaders. The model import workflow's status database configuration is now streamlined to default to the POSTGRES_* server, with explicit IMPORT_STATUS_DB_* overrides.
Comprehensive end-to-end tests have been added for the model import workflow, covering success paths, gate rejections, digest enforcement, provisioning failures, status record integrity, cleanup, and retry/recovery scenarios using a real-clock environment. New E2
