feat(ruby): run Ruby callables from BAML and call returned closures - #5329
Ruby callers can pass objects responding to #call into BAML function parameters and invoke returned closures through Baml::Closure#call or call_async. These declarations were previously omitted. Callbacks receive decoded Ruby arguments and return values checked against their BAML signature.
Callbacks are synchronous: unlike Python, the bridge does not await returned background work. Join it inside the callback. Returned closures are already specialized and reject _types:.
Details
ABI 5's HostCallCompletion reports five outcomes: returned validates the return type; thrown carries a Baml::Error value against the throws type, or a BAML panic; raised preserves other Ruby exceptions; contract_violation reports a mismatched value; bridge_failure reports values the bridge cannot carry. Exceptions from getters while reading results follow the same exception rules.
BAML can catch a callback's typed error or a baml.errors.HostCallable representing a Ruby exception. If the latter propagates back, Ruby re-raises the original exception object. BAML can also return it as data: HostCallable._handle holds the original exception, and passing the value back to BAML keeps that object. $rust_type fields are typed T.untyped because they can hold an engine handle or a Ruby object.
Each invocation runs on a Ruby thread. Cancellation does not kill it or release its resources before return. Callables register only after argument planning succeeds; result capture retains borrowed host objects until decoding.
Static function types are T.any(T.proc..., Baml::Closure). Generated methods involving functions disable Sorbet runtime signature checks because T.proc rejects other callable objects; static signatures remain. A struct field typed as a function stores a non-Proc callable as a Proc wrapping its call, so T::Struct validation accepts it.
Testing
Linux x86_64, same commands as #5033: 115 tests passed, 0 skipped. Formatting, strict Clippy, CLI build and parity lint pass. Ruby declares 297 of 457 shared test IDs. The underlying Ruby suite skips callable release on engine GC, as Java does, alongside the earlier subscript-arity skip.
Not run: macOS, Windows and upstream CI.

Merge Risk: Low · up to bbdc2
Manifest-driven baml generate for Ruby works as intended. Two small gaps remain: the public generator API can emit an invalid parameter name under PreserveCase, and the parity audit ignores non-ASCII test method names. Neither blocks merge.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to bbdc2
The new callbacks execute within the application's existing process and permissions. Signature checks, handle ownership checks, and synchronized completion limit the new reachability. No introduced security issue was established in the inspected paths, but integration and deployment coverage remains incomplete.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The newly reachable executable authority is an application-supplied Ruby callable running in the application's process. Its side effects inherit that process's permissions; callable signature validation does not sandbox access to files, credentials, network services, or other application state.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Ruby host callback identity is resolved through a mutex-protected registry with monotonic keys and exact lookup. Unknown keys fail lookup, and dispatch requires a registered function descriptor before invoking the callable. This constrains callback selection to registered objects rather than interpreting input as executable Ruby code.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Captured results inventory each native-handle occurrence, pin referenced Ruby host values, transfer adopted references to wrappers, and release remaining references on close or finalization. Encoding scopes separately track owned and borrowed handles and attempt all tracked releases during cleanup.
observed — Ruby callback cancellation is cooperative: the registered cancel callback does not terminate the Ruby thread, and completion reports actual host exit. A cancellation request therefore must not be interpreted as proof that callback side effects have stopped.

A rabbit reviews the Ruby flow, Where typed seeds start to grow. Calls hop through the bridge at night, Bytes return in neat type. Sorbet checks the burrow’s code, And tests mark each winding road.
…the C bridge
Ruby had a V1 bridge loader but no way to generate an SDK or make calls on
ABI revision 5. This adds the foundation every later Ruby change builds on.
`baml-cli generate` gains a `ruby/sorbet` output type. The generator emits the
whole symbol pool, standard library included, as T::Struct classes, T::Enum
enums and Sorbet-signed functions and methods, each with an `_async` sibling.
Values cover null, booleans, integers, floats, strings, single literals,
lists, string-keyed maps, optionals, classes and enums; declarations that need
anything else are skipped until later changes. Names that collide in Ruby are
escaped with a trailing underscore, in Python's allocation order. Bundled
provider packages are written under baml_sdk/__vendor/, because Tapioca's
default Sorbet config ignores every vendor/ directory. The package registers
its bytecode, embedded metadata, types and parameter descriptors once when it
loads.
The runtime returns a Baml::Call promise for every call; sync methods wait on
it. Results own their engine handles until decoded, abandoned calls are
released, and callback registration is safe against interrupts. One program
runs per process, a forked child using an inherited runtime raises, unhandled
spawn errors end the process as in Python, and the runtime shuts down at exit.
The runtime's Sorbet contract is rbi/baml.rbi.
Under ABI 5 the engine converts nothing: it builds the value the SDK states
and checks it against the declared type. So the runtime encodes each
argument against its declared type in three steps. It reads the Ruby value,
plans the wire value without side effects, choosing union arms and making
exact conversions such as 5 to 5.0 for a float, then commits it, stating
the type of every list, map and class. Depth, node and planning-step
budgets refuse cyclic or pathological values with TypeError, and every
engine reference a refused or abandoned result carries is released.
Also adds the committed Ruby protobuf clients and their CI drift check, Ruby
support in the SDK parity lint, and the shared harness gates (minitest and
Sorbet per fixture).
Tests: adds encoder tests for the read, plan and commit rules; 108 nextest
targets pass and Ruby declares 27 shared SDK tests.
Developed with AI assistance.
…strings
The foundation encodes null, primitives, single literals, classes, enums,
lists, string-keyed maps and optionals. Declarations using any other value
kind were skipped.
This adds bigints, bytes, media values (Baml::Image, Audio, Video and Pdf,
sent as content), general unions, literal unions, enum-variant types, type
aliases and non-string map keys. A Ruby String is sent as bytes only where
the parameter is declared bytes; in a string-or-bytes union a binary String
selects bytes. Recursive aliases widen only their recursive back-edge to
T.untyped, because Sorbet cannot express them. Float parameters and fields
accept Integer, matching Python. Generated code now carries docstrings and
Raises sections.
Under ABI 5 these kinds go through the walker too: bigints keep their kind,
including literals such as 42n; recursive aliases are stated by name with a
cycle guard; and only string map keys can be sent, as the bridge requires.
Tests: ports the shared type_shapes, docstrings_etc and raises tests; 112
nextest targets pass and Ruby declares 132 shared SDK tests.
Developed with AI assistance.
Callables with defaulted arguments were skipped, calls could not be timed out
or cancelled, and errors exposed only a type name and message.
Defaulted parameters become keywords that default to Baml::UNSET, so BAML
applies its own default; nil sends an explicit null. Every generated callable
accepts `_baml: Baml::Options.new(timeout_ms:, cancel:)`. The timeout becomes
an absolute deadline on the engine's clock, and cancel takes a generated
CancelToken. Baml::Error now carries the decoded payload and BAML trace,
engine cancellation raises Baml::CancelledError, a boundary TypeMismatch
raises TypeError, and an exit panic ends the process with its exit code.
Under ABI 5 the cancel token goes through the walker, omitted arguments are
left out before encoding, and JSON nested deeper than the wire allows is
refused with TypeError.
Tests: ports the shared error, optional-argument, invocation, cancellation
and JSON tests, and the HTTP response handle test, which needs Http.fetch's
optional timeout; 112 nextest targets pass and Ruby declares 166 shared SDK
tests.
Developed with AI assistance.
Generic declarations were skipped.
Generic classes are T::Structs with one type_member per BAML type parameter,
and generic callables get type_parameters signatures. The engine infers most
type arguments; `_types: { T: Integer }` binds the rest, checked by name and
count in Ruby because the engine ignores unknown names. Sorbet erases
GenericBox[Integer] at runtime, so a host-built instance that must carry its
arguments uses Baml.bind_types(instance, Integer). Decoded instances keep
their type arguments when passed back.
Under ABI 5 a stated type can't contain type variables, so the runtime
substitutes `_types:` and the receiver's bindings, and solves an unbound
instance's arguments from its field values. An empty container for an
unbound variable raises TypeError asking for `_types:`. Type tokens are now
plain descriptors.
Tests: ports the shared generic call, inference and round-trip tests, skipping
the callable-subscript arity test as Java does; 114 nextest targets pass and
Ruby declares 263 shared SDK tests.
Developed with AI assistance.
BAML functions could not call Ruby code, and BAML closures returned to Ruby
could not be called.
Any object responding to #call is registered as a host value. Each host
invocation runs on its own Ruby thread and completes exactly once: a return
value is encoded with its declared type, a raised Baml::Error sends its BAML
value, and any other exception is kept so it comes back to Ruby as the same
object. Cancellation is cooperative; resources stay alive until the proc
returns. Result capture pins borrowed host values so the engine cannot release
them before decoding. Returned closures decode to Baml::Closure with call and
call_async.
BAML function types are T.any(T.proc..., Baml::Closure). Sorbet's runtime
T.proc check accepts only Proc, so generated methods taking or returning
functions skip runtime checking and keep their static signatures.
Under ABI 5 a callable is sent with its declared function type, and a
callback completes with one of five outcomes: returned, thrown, raised,
contract violation or bridge failure. An exception raised while reading the
callback's result counts as the callback's own.
Tests: ports the shared host-callable tests and the call-control and generic
tests that need callbacks, skipping release on engine GC as Java does; 115
nextest targets pass and Ruby declares 297 shared SDK tests.
