Support valid hostlists with multiple bracket ranges.
component.split("[") expects exactly two parts. A valid hostlist such as rack[0-1]_blade[0-1] raises ValueError: too many values to unpack. Slurm permits one or more bracket pairs in a node range expression. (slurm.schedmd.com)
This parser serves CLI and REST node discovery and job completion. Expand each bracket group recursively and produce the Cartesian product.

Slurm REST API v0.0.38 job_desc_msg environment field format object or array
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In the Slurm REST API, including v0.0.38, the environment field within the job_desc_msg object is defined as an array of strings [1][2][3]. Each string in this array should represent an environment variable definition in the format "KEY=VALUE" [1][2][3]. The structure is not an object (dictionary) but rather a list (array) of strings [1][3]. Providing an object instead of an array will result in an error from the Slurm REST API (slurmrestd), typically indicating an expected OpenAPI type mismatch (e.g., "Expected OpenAPI type=array but got OpenAPI type=object") [1]. Example JSON format for the environment field: "environment": [ "PATH=/usr/bin/:/bin/", "MY_VAR=my_value" ] This format is consistent across supported Slurm REST API versions [2][3][4].

Slurm v0.0.38 OpenAPI schema job_desc_msg environment array KEY=VALUE official
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In the Slurm v0.0.38 OpenAPI schema, the environment field within the job_desc_msg object is defined as an array of strings [1][2][3]. To correctly specify environment variables, you must provide the environment data as a list (array) of strings formatted as "KEY=VALUE" [4][5][6]. For example, when submitting a job, the environment parameter should be populated as follows: environment=['PATH=/bin/:/usr/bin/', 'MY_VAR=my_value'] This format is consistent across Slurm REST API versions [1][6]. Internally, the Slurm daemon processes this array and manages the environment variables for the job execution accordingly [2]. When using client libraries (such as the Python OpenAPI client), you should pass this as a list of strings to the corresponding field in the job description object [5][6].

Send environment as an array of KEY=VALUE strings
The POST /slurm/v0.0.38/job/submit schema defines job_desc_msg.environment as an array of strings. _make_job currently sends a JSON object, so slurmrestd rejects each submission with a type mismatch. Send the value as [f"PATH={...}"].

Reject plaintext URLs when headers contain credentials.
SlurmAPIConfig accepts an http:// URL. _request_once then sends the expanded X-SLURM-USER-TOKEN header over that plaintext connection. A network observer can capture and replay the token.
Require HTTPS when headers is not empty. Permit HTTP only when an authenticated encrypted tunnel or an equivalent local-only transport is explicitly established.
Based on learnings, credential-bearing HTTP requests must use TLS or an authenticated encrypted tunnel.

Map SBATCH node constraints to canonical REST fields.
SlurmRestClient._API_VERSION is v0.0.38. _apply_sbatch_directive() writes these mappings directly into payload["job"]. The v0.0.38 schema defines required_nodes and excluded_nodes, not nodelist and exclude_nodes. The current payload therefore does not use the REST contract, and the constraints may not be applied. The exact reject-versus-ignore behavior is not established.
Update both mappings and the submission test’s expected keys.

- "--exclude": "exclude_nodes",

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Normalize string Slurm job IDs before REST operations.
BaseJob.id is declared as Union[str, int] and has no runtime normalization. The REST branches of is_job_running, is_job_completed, get_job_status, and complete_job pass the ID to _job_id, which rejects "42" before the REST request. kill also calls _job_id before selecting the CLI or REST transport, so string IDs fail in both modes. The CLI status and completion branches interpolate string IDs directly and do not have this failure. Reject bool, because bool is an int subclass and currently passes the check.
