feat(ruby): package the runtime as an installable gem - #5331
Packages the Ruby runtime as the installable pure-Ruby baml-bridge gem, so applications no longer need the repository checkout. It requires Ruby 3.2+, includes protobuf clients and rbi/baml.rbi, and depends on ffi, google-protobuf and sorbet-runtime.
Add gem "baml-bridge", generate the SDK, and put the output directory on Ruby's load path:
The gem neither bundles nor downloads the native bridge. Publishing to RubyGems remains out of scope.
Details
baml-bridge avoids the legacy baml gem's name and version conflict. Its version follows the bridge runtime; it ships the Apache-2.0 license.
A nonempty BAML_BRIDGE_PATH must name an absolute library file; invalid overrides fail without fallback. Otherwise lookup uses $BAML_HOME/bridges/<toolchain-version>/<target>/; BAML_HOME defaults to ~/.baml. Unknown hosts require an explicit path. The loader checks ABI and toolchain compatibility.
Tapioca incorporates the gem's RBI. Without Tapioca, copy that file into sorbet/rbi/ or reference its installed filename in sorbet/config.
Testing
Linux x86_64, same commands as #5033: 117 tests passed, 0 skipped. Formatting, strict Clippy, CLI build and parity lint pass. Ruby declares 307 of 457 shared test IDs.
gem::clean_app builds and installs offline outside the checkout, generates with baml-cli, calls through the cached bridge, and type-checks on supported Sorbet hosts with the installed RBI and Tapioca's default vendor ignore. A separate Bundler app passed all three documented Sorbet setups; Tapioca and copied-RBI setups caught exactly 4 planted errors each.
A manual macOS run against a real Rails service passed at this PR's tip 8bbd755ff on arm64, Darwin 25.6, Ruby 3.2.2: baml-cli generation, live calls with the default client and with a host-built override client, 70 RSpec examples, and srb tc catching every planted type error.
Not run: the test suite on macOS or Windows, and upstream CI.

Merge Risk: Low · up to a6204
The new Ruby gem and generator look mergeable. One test helper can hang the Ruby bridge test suite if a regression makes a waiting thread exit early. Adding a timeout there is a small fix. Product behavior is not affected by it.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to a6204
The inspected design keeps native execution within the application process and includes compatibility, callback-identity, and resource-ownership controls. No introduced security defect was established. The new runtime and packaging surface still warrants care, and the assessment does not cover every changed path or production deployment.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The relevant authority boundary is the application process: the selected native library is loaded into Ruby, and registered host callbacks execute application objects. Compromise of that library or an authorized callback can therefore affect the process's accessible resources. Tenant, credential, network, and data-store scope cannot be determined from the inspected deployment evidence.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The ordinary call path captures and decodes results using the same process-owned native API. Native clone and release operations reject invalid handles, and callable invocation resolves a live table entry with callable kind and function type. These controls counter the proposed cross-API and arbitrary-handle attack paths; the inspected path did not establish an external source of forged result envelopes.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Call serializes completion, cancellation, and decoding under a mutex, caches one decoded outcome for repeated waiters, and shields ownership-changing sections from asynchronous interruption. Handle close and clone are likewise synchronized, reducing races at the Ruby/native ownership boundary.

A rabbit checks the Ruby trail, Sorbet types line up without fail. The bridge brings messages to shore, Tests hop through cases, then explore. New SDK paths bloom in the spring, And little carrots celebrate the thing.
…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.
Developed with AI assistance.
LLM functions' `@stream` and `@spec` companions were skipped, because their
return types arrive as bare engine handles.
`f_stream` and `f_stream_async` return Baml::Stream[T]: next returns a partial
value or the generated Done, final returns the settled value, and each yields
non-null partials. `f_spec` and `f_spec_async` return Baml::FunctionSpec with
build_request. Both call the BAML methods with the handle as `self`.
Tests: ports the shared llm_functions binding and streaming tests against the
replay server; 116 nextest targets pass and Ruby declares 307 shared SDK
tests, the same as Java.
Developed with AI assistance.
The runtime could only be loaded from the repository checkout.
Adds the pure-Ruby `baml-bridge` gem: the runtime, committed protobuf clients
and the Sorbet RBI, depending on ffi, google-protobuf and sorbet-runtime. The
`baml` name on RubyGems belongs to the legacy BAML v0 client, so this follows
the other new SDKs, which publish as baml-bridge. The bridge library is found
through BAML_BRIDGE_PATH or, when unset, the shared
$BAML_HOME/bridges/<version>/<target>/ cache. It is not downloaded.
Tests: a clean-app check builds the gem, installs it offline outside the
checkout, generates an SDK with baml-cli and calls it through the cache. Where
the pinned Sorbet runs, it also type-checks the app with the installed RBI and
Tapioca's default vendor/ ignore; 117 nextest targets pass.
