[ws1]: WS1 Full Qwen3-8B Dense Train-Inference Closeout - #315
Conversation
Freeze the WS1 numerical SSOT for issue RL-Align#267: four-judgment tolerance rows, dtype/TF32/FP8 policy, comparison roles, chain logprob aggregates, shared resolver, and op_checks wiring so forward and gradient accuracy no longer share one threshold path. Add schema tests, usage docs, and a migration checklist for remaining private-atol call sites (C3/C4/C8). Closes RL-Align#267
Record acceptance-criteria mapping, verification commands, and residual scope so issue RL-Align#267 can close without implying full RL-Align#266 exit.
Freeze the full Qwen3-8B Dense logical workload SSOT for WS1 closeout C2: manifest pins (config fingerprint, weight content hash, 2x2 Batch/Chunk matrix, varlen fixtures, packing, dual backend profiles, representative case_ids), logical identity restore after pad/pack/chunk, singleton_aggregate vs BN multiset plan, registry-resolved candidate binding, and a single reference command. Document registry-vs-runtime actual boundary and Triton missing_required reds without silent fallback. Closes RL-Align#268
Add the shared forward accuracy/invariance API, C2 config matrix, backend provenance fail-closed checks, selected-logprob smoke, GPU gate CLI, CPU tests, and closeout evidence for WS1 C3.
…#270) Shared training-style gradient comparison across the C2 Batch/Chunk matrix: accuracy (vs FP32 VJP) and invariance (cross-config) are separate C1 judgments, thresholds come only from the contract resolver, and the report schema is what C8/C10 must reuse. Adapters execute on config.physical_layout — packed runs one batched call, chunked splits per chunk, padded uses the real pad grid, permuted keeps the permuted sample order — and return physical tensors that the harness restores through C2's map. Seeding autograd.grad with an upstream that is a pure function of logical identity keeps the comparison free of physical summation order, so a failure means the operator's own backward moved. TestPhysicalLayout locks the matrix down: a layout-sensitive synthetic op must be judged red, a logical-identity-only op green, B=N must be one batched call, chunking must split it, and padding must reach the operator. Without those guards a layout-blind adapter makes every bitwise verdict a tautology. A required differentiable node with no backward now raises MissingBackwardError and is reported as a categorised red rather than an autograd stack trace. scripts/sweep_gradient_invariance.py runs every adapter x required profile and classifies each cell. Current tally on sm89: green=8, red_verdict=6, red_no_backward=1, blocked_hardware=4, blocked_c2=3, skipped=4. Two open findings are recorded in the closeout evidence as Blocker candidates, not fixed here (C4 audits declared candidates, it does not rewrite kernels): RMSNorm/QK-Norm dweight and det_gemm dW re-associate when the token stream is split across launches, and the CUDA plain-logp candidates are not wired through torch.autograd so dlogits cannot be produced at all.

Port remaining WS1 ops onto the shared C3/C4 runners, add the C5 inventory and C8 four-judgment sweep, and record sm86 reds in-repo.
Land remaining gtest registrations (qk_norm, pack), Triton attention VJP, fail-closed SM90 candidates, C8 execute sweep provenance, and C5/C2 scope docs. linear_logp stays optional_fused; pack stays N/A with CPU C3/C4 evidence. SM90 logp tests now match the no-fallback contract.
C3 reports backend_family (cuda/triton). C8 actual_backend_id should match the declared candidate (cuda, cuda-sm90, or triton).
Regenerate the four-judgment matrix with invariance provenance, environment, and the source commit SHA. Counts remain green=176, N/A=16, red=0.
Lazy-import tabulate so sampling-native CPU smoke no longer blocks on a report-only dependency. Add ci/run_ws1_gtest.sh and a RunPod workflow that runs C3/C4 for both backend profiles, executes the C8 matrix, fails on red cells, and uploads the JSON artifact.
Write the default C8 JSON under TMPDIR so generating it does not flip dirty=true. Ignore those artifact names in git provenance. Drop pull_request_target (same-repo PRs and workflow_dispatch only) and fail the job if the C8 artifact cannot be copied off the pod.
- Apply black/isort/end-of-file-fixer formatting so the linting job passes. - Widen TritonLogpOp.__call__ to the base-class signature (ignore_index / validate) to satisfy mypy override checking; default validate=True preserves the plain-API behavior. - Fix make_forward_runner run() return annotation to the actual dict[tuple[str, int], Tensor] | RuntimeObservation type.
Harden C8 CI gates, fix hidden N/A detection, tighten harness contracts, align manifest algorithm_property, and add regression coverage for the actionable CodeRabbit findings.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis PR adds the WS1 closeout stack. It defines the shared contract and workload, adds forward, gradient, KV, and chain validation, extends CUDA and Triton operators for deterministic FP32-related paths, adds GPU CI gates, and adds WS1 scripts, docs, and tests.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR completes a large full-model training and inference path, but its required GPU workflow check is still incomplete and several validation paths can accept missing comparisons or non-canonical execution; the full-vocabulary backward work also risks excessive runtime or GPU memory use.

When run_backward is true, wrap the packed forward and _finish_cell call in canonical_backward_session(). Build and pass logical_keys; otherwise the packed gradients use the non-canonical path and cannot be compared reliably with the reference gradients.

Parameter gradient accumulation order depends on the physical layout.
If the operator does not expose parameter_vjp_contributions_fp32, the fallback path sums one FP32 partial per call span in span order. A packed config produces one span. A chunked config produces one span per chunk. FP32 addition is not associative, so the same logical parameter gradient can differ bitwise between layouts. The keyed path at Lines 852-858 avoids this by sorting per-token contributions, but the fallback does not.
Consider making the fallback order-independent, for example by accumulating with a fixed reduction over stacked partials rather than sequential addition, or by requiring the keyed contribution hook for every adapter that declares a parameter gradient.

Include the concat-reference verdict in the C6 pass condition.
concat_cmp is computed at Lines 356-366 and stored in the report. Line 391 does not use concat_cmp.passed. A candidate can fail the concat-KV reference check while the C6 report still passes.
Require all three checks to pass. Add a regression test with an operator that passes direct-decode comparison but fails the concat-reference comparison.

Record the CUDA canonical-linear backward path.
canonical_linear_fp32 is the CUDA training path in rl_engine/alignment/qwen3_dense.py lines 1126-1136. This branch records only Triton execution. The CUDA path calls _C.det_gemm_rowwise_fwd_fp32 directly, so it bypasses _DetGemmAccumFn and produces no det_gemm runtime observation. The CUDA chain report can then fail its required backward-kernel evidence check.

The backward pass allocates a full FP32 (N, V) probability tensor.
torch.softmax(logits.float(), dim=-1) materialises one FP32 tensor of the same element count as logits, and grad allocates a second one. For a Qwen3 vocabulary and a full training sequence this doubles-to-triples the logits memory during backward and can cause OOM on the gate host. Consider computing the gradient in place on the softmax buffer, for example probs.mul_(-grad_output.reshape(-1, 1).float()) after the one-hot subtraction, to remove the second allocation.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
The dk/dv kernel serialises over the full query length.
Each program handles one KV position and then loops for row in range(0, S_Q) inside the group loop, loading one query row and one grad-output row per iteration. The work per program is group * S_Q scalar-vector iterations with no blocking over the query axis. For the full Qwen3-8B chain this makes the backward pass far slower than the forward pass and it does not use the tensor pipeline at all.
Consider tiling the query axis with a BLOCK_M block, loading q/do as 2-D tiles, and reducing over the tile, as the forward kernel already does over BLOCK_N.

The embedding backward scales with vocab * hidden * n_tokens.
The grid is (vocab, hidden). For the pinned Qwen3-8B identity that is 151936 * 4096, which is about 6.2e8 programs. Each program then scans every token row. Total work is vocab * hidden * n_tokens, and almost all of it produces zeros, because only the tokens in the batch have non-zero gradient.
A deterministic and much cheaper form sorts the token ids once and reduces only the rows that appear, or reduces over unique ids with a per-id segment. Both keep the atomic-free, order-fixed property that the docstring requires.

untracked_missing_node becomes skipped and passes the gate.
resolve_profile_candidate returns status="untracked_missing_node" when the adapter declares a chain node that the profile does not list (see rl_engine/kernels/gtest/gradient_adapters.py Lines 1250-1255). That status is not in the mapping, so the .get default classifies the cell as skipped. Line 171 excludes skipped from the non-zero exit, so an untracked required node reports as a pass. The module docstring states that a red never hides.
Map unknown statuses to a failing classification.

The new forward_fp32 API returns FP32 output here, but the backward path still casts grad_out to q_c.dtype before invoking the CUDA kernel.
This is batch-invariant because every configuration follows the same cast, but an FP32 upstream VJP is still quantized to BF16 before the attention gradients are computed.
Could we either add an FP32 backward path for this API, or document that forward_fp32 is forward-only FP32? A regression test with FP32 grad_out would make the intended contract explicit.

This .item() forces a GPU-to-CPU synchronization on every cache write. The following torch.equal(...) check also requires host-visible results.
The results remain correct and batch-invariant, but this is on the per-layer/per-chunk decode path and can add avoidable synchronization overhead. Since the B1 contract requires a shared cursor, could the cursor be maintained as host-side metadata and advanced from the known s_new value instead?

This validation checks only k_new.dtype and k_new.device, although the error message covers both K and V.
Please validate v_new.dtype and v_new.device as well, to avoid an implicit conversion or copy during copy_.

Summary
This PR completes the WS1 full-model closeout implementation for #266.
It validates the complete official Qwen3-8B Dense model at model level under both required single-GPU profiles:
cuda_bf16triton_cuda_bf16The validation covers full-sequence training, real backward propagation, batch/chunk invariance, padding/layout variants, stateful KV decode, generate-rescore parity, FP32 accuracy, and all required trainable parameter gradients.
The model is not depth-reduced or width-reduced. The chunked path executes real per-layer, per-chunk operations and does not replay the full-sequence baseline output.
