Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds shared workload execution contracts, persistent-worker runners for Dragon and MPI, executor selection options, and dispatch. It moves runtime helpers into shared core modules and adds tests for execution, validation, and failure handling. ChangesDistributed execution
Priority: ➖ Normal Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This PR adds shared Dragon and MPI persistent-worker execution. The one remaining review issue concerns efficiency. When an output file is slow to appear on a shared filesystem, the coordinator repeatedly re-reads every result file every 50 ms, which can add filesystem load during long waits. Results stay correct, so the change is mergeable with this as a bounded follow-up. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 2✅ Passed checks (2 passed)

Approving with comments. The abstraction is clean: WorkloadSpec plus a Worker protocol (gpu_identity, run_item, close), a package-importable worker factory that is not pickled, hashed launch descriptors revalidated by the worker, deterministic byte-balanced shards per MPI rank with bcast release and decision so ranks terminate together, and terminal item identity bound to the record path (2e34b4f closes a swap between a stem-keyed directory check and a content-keyed record check). Success is now published only after close, join, and the exit audit, which fixes the old ordering where a root summary.json could commit before a worker was known to have exited cleanly. Paths derive only from validated identifiers, receipt count must equal shard count, and imports stay lazy. Two comments inline plus one structural request: this adds a third copy of the evidence code. core/execution.py, core/dragon.py, and core/mpi.py total about 2500 new lines that re-implement the coordinators and audits, while xpois/dragon.py (2340 lines) and xpois/mpi.py (3611 lines) keep theirs; run_dragon_work_items now exists twice with incompatible signatures. Please open a tracked follow-up to migrate XPOIS onto WorkloadSpec and delete its coordinators, otherwise internal issue #1 grows rather than closes. CPU fakes only; ci-required green.

@coderabbitai review Please review final commit 7ad9bb4, including the opt-in MPI root-only preflight and JSON descriptor broadcast needed by #56. The branch was restacked on the final #50 fix; the nine earlier #54 commits have equivalent patches. |

Initialize workload factories after placement and retain their state across rounds. Use compact launch descriptors and shared artifact audits, then require worker cleanup and process exits before accepting results. Signed-off-by: Trent Nelson <trentn@nvidia.com>

593-644: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winStop re-reading artifacts that were already checked while polling.
Each loop pass goes through every entry in
expectedagain. It re-opens and re-parses every record and worker receipt, including files already stored inmappings. The loop continues while any artifact raisesOSError, and it sleeps a fixed 0.05 s between passes. The timeout comes fromrank_setup_timeout_sec, which defaults to 600 s for MPI. One slow artifact on a shared filesystem can therefore cause about 12,000 passes, and each pass reads all N records. That puts N × passes metadata and read operations on the coordinator and the filesystem. The XPOIS executors wait with exponential backoff up to 1 s, but this loop does not.Skip labels that already passed. Store a label in
mappingsonly after the check that the item summary exists. Otherwise, a record whosesummary.jsonis not visible yet would not be checked again.⚡ Proposed fix

xFit, XScan and the combined device pipeline need the same placed-worker lifecycle as XPOIS. This adds component-independent Dragon and MPI execution under
cuphoton.core: initialize a worker once, run serial items across optional warmup/measured rounds, validate results, then close the worker.Why this is needed
Re-launching workers for every pass repeats runtime, GPU and model setup. A reusable worker factory lets each component retain its own numerical state while the executor handles placement, rank agreement, dispatch and terminal evidence. Dragon command queues live beside their consumers, and launch payloads use hashed file descriptors rather than sending complete manifests through process-launch messages.
The existing XPOIS APIs retain their behavior and import the common runtime helpers. Component commands are added in a follow-up PR. This PR is stacked on #50.
Terminal success is published after worker shutdown and lifecycle audits. Dragon retains failed and closed receipts while peers finish, detects silent exits, and records interruptions as failures. Coordinator merging has a separate finalization timer.
Validation
The CPU suite passes (2,339 tests, 182 skips); after restacking on #50, all 535 core and XPOIS Dragon/MPI tests pass. Repository lint and hooks pass. Tests cover terminal publication order, silent exits, receipt races, slow peers, shutdown failures and MPI setup diagnostics.
Earlier local and two-node/eight-GPU follow-up runs passed numerical parity, persistent identity and cleanup checks. Those runs predate the latest lifecycle fixes; the updated source still needs distributed GPU requalification. No large-scale performance claim is made.
