Summary

This PR completes the WS1 C1-C5 and C8 validation infrastructure, including:

  • The shared BF16/FP32 numerical contract;
  • The canonical Qwen3-8B Dense workload and logical identity;
  • Shared forward-invariance and gradient-invariance harnesses;
  • Gradient adapters for all WS1 required differentiable operators;
  • Elementwise and RoPE residual evidence;
  • The CUDA BF16 and Triton-on-CUDA BF16 four-judgment matrix;
  • Local and remote GPU gtest gates;
  • Backend/kernel provenance validation;
  • C8 evidence artifact generation.

The main goal is to ensure that all WS1 required single operators are validated through one shared gtest framework with no private thresholds, silent fallback, or cross-profile candidate borrowing.

This PR does not claim completion of the full WS1 #266 exit. C6, C7, C9, C10, and C11 remain outside this PR.

C1–C5 and C8 have been implemented and locally validated on NVIDIA H20. The GitHub GPU workflow targets the same cards as existing gpu-ci (NVIDIA RTX A4000 sm86 and NVIDIA H100 80GB HBM3 sm90). This PR adds that workflow; it does not yet include a successful A4000/H100 run artifact.

Related source issues:

This PR does not close #266. Full WS1 exit still requires C6, C7, C9, C10, and C11.

C8 close is based on the H20 execute artifact. A4000/H100 artifacts are the CI reproduction, not evidence already attached to this PR.


Scope

Included

  • C1 shared numerical contract;
  • C2 canonical Qwen3-8B Dense workload identity;
  • C3 forward-invariance harness;
  • C4 gradient-invariance harness and operator adapters;
  • C5 elementwise/RoPE audit;
  • C8 four-judgment BF16 evidence matrix;
  • Local WS1 gtest gate;
  • CUDA/Triton GPU CI workflow;
  • Backend and kernel provenance checks;
  • Evidence JSON generation and validation.

Not included

  • Full-model Qwen3-8B Dense forward/backward execution;
  • Full-model [WS1] Chain integration test (WS1 exit gate) #150 Batch × Chunked-Prefill exit matrix;
  • Direct decode/prefill full-model parity;
  • Stateful KV-cache and generate-rescore full-model path;
  • Full-model train/inference selected-logprob parity;
  • Final full-model CUDA/Triton exit CI.

These items belong to C6, C7, C9, C10, and C11.


Validation Model

Each required operator is evaluated using four independent judgments:

  1. forward_accuracy
  2. forward_invariance
  3. gradient_accuracy
  4. gradient_invariance

The comparison semantics are:

  • forward_accuracy: BF16 candidate versus FP32 reference;
  • forward_invariance: equivalent batch/chunk/padding/layout configurations;
  • gradient_accuracy: candidate gradient/VJP versus FP32 reference gradient/VJP;
  • gradient_invariance: training-style gradients across equivalent execution configurations.

Batch and chunk invariance use the shared bitwise contract. Accuracy judgments use the shared tolerance resolver. Gradient thresholds are independent from forward thresholds.

Chain-level selected-logprob comparisons use only:

  • max_abs_dlogp;
  • approx_kl0;
  • clipfrac0.

Private thresholds, undeclared fallbacks, ambiguous baseline roles, and cross-profile candidate borrowing are rejected.

green 176
N/A 16
red 0

All N/A cells are for pack. pack is a profile-independent PyTorch layout helper rather than a CUDA or Triton kernel candidate. It is covered by the C2/C3/C4 logical layout tests.

linear_logp is marked as optional_fused_path in the C2 manifest and is therefore not part of the WS1 required C8 matrix.

Numerical C8 evidence is bound to commit 5c33dcd. Later commits through 15e25dd do not change operators; they fix tests, CI, and evidence packaging.

  • rl_engine/kernels/gtest/forward_invariance.py
  • rl_engine/kernels/gtest/op_checks.py
  • scripts/check_forward_invariance.py
  • tests/test_forward_invariance.py

Covered transformations: Batch=1 versus Batch=N; full versus chunked execution; left/right padding; batch permutation; logical unpadding; selected-logprob smoke; backend provenance; kernel configuration provenance; silent fallback rejection; shared C1 threshold resolution.


C4 — Gradient-Invariance Harness

Main files:

  • rl_engine/kernels/gtest/gradient_invariance.py
  • rl_engine/kernels/gtest/gradient_adapters.py
  • scripts/check_gradient_invariance.py
  • scripts/sweep_gradient_invariance.py

  • rl_engine/kernels/gtest/elementwise_inventory.py
  • docs/design/ws1-c5-271-inventory.md
  • docs/design/ws1-blockers.md

  • tests/test_rope.py

Audited paths: RoPE, SiLU, SwiGLU, residual add, scale, bias policy, mask fill, dtype cast, QK-Norm.

CUDA SM90 and Triton RoPE evidence has been executed on the H20 environment. Non-Hopper hosts retain explicit pending_hopper status instead of silently falling back.


CI Changes

Added:

  • .github/workflows/ws1-gtest-gpu.yml
  • ci/run_ws1_gtest.sh

Updated:

  • ci/run_gpu_ci.sh
  • .github/workflows/ci.yml

GitHub GPU CI targets the same cards as existing gpu-ci:

  • NVIDIA RTX A4000 (sm86): CUDA + Triton smoke; cuda-sm90 cells may be pending_hopper
  • NVIDIA H100 80GB HBM3 (sm90, KERNEL_ALIGN_FORCE_SM90=1): full C8, red=0 and pending_hopper=0

The GPU workflow provides CUDA/Triton smoke coverage, sm86 C8 execution with explicit Hopper-only pending handling, sm90 C8 execution with zero pending cells, C3/C4 fallback rejection, C8 red-cell rejection, invariance provenance checks, and JSON evidence artifact upload.

The CPU CI now includes tests/test_profiler.py.


Evidence

C8 evidence files:

  • docs/design/ws1-c8-execute.json
  • docs/design/ws1-c8-274-closeout-evidence.md

Latest local H20 evidence:

  • GPU: NVIDIA H20
  • Compute capability: 9.0
  • PyTorch: 2.8.0+cu128
  • CUDA runtime: 12.8
  • Triton: 3.4.0
  • C8: green=176, N/A=16, red=0

The evidence JSON records source commit, branch, device and compute capability, driver, CUDA/PyTorch/Triton versions, workload ID, command, threshold source, fallback policy, and expected/actual backend and kernel paths.

  • CUDA C3/C4 smoke: passed
  • Triton C3/C4 smoke: passed
  • C8: 176 green / 16 N/A / 0 red

Known Skips

The following tests remain explicitly skipped because the current environment lacks the required backend, dependency, or hardware:

Count Reason
40 CUDA FlashAttention extension unavailable
42 ROCm-only tests on a CUDA environment
2 Multi-GPU tests require at least two CUDA devices
1 Extension enforcement is CI-only
1 A logprob fallback test is not applicable when CUDA dispatch selects fused logprob

These skips are outside the WS1 required C8 matrix and are not used to turn required red cells green.


Limitations

This PR does not claim full WS1 exit.

The following remain in later issues:

  • C6 — direct decode/prefill consistency;
  • C7 — stateful KV-cache and generate-rescore;
  • C9 — full Qwen3-8B Dense model assembly;
  • C10 — full-model train/inference parity and the [WS1] Chain integration test (WS1 exit gate) #150 matrix;
  • C11 — mandatory full-model CUDA/Triton exit CI.

The precise claim of this PR is:

C1-C5 and C8 have been implemented and locally validated. All WS1 required single operators are registered in the shared gtest framework and pass the CUDA BF16 and Triton-on-CUDA BF16 four-judgment matrix on an NVIDIA H20. Full WS1 #266 exit remains dependent on C6, C7, C9, C10, and C11.


Reviewer Checklist

  • C1 is the sole source of numerical thresholds.
  • C2 pins the full Qwen3-8B Dense identity and logical workload.
  • C3 restores logical identity across batch/chunk/padding transforms.
  • C4 uses shared upstream gradients, reduction semantics, and denominators.
  • C5 has no untracked needs-fix item.
  • C8 contains no red required cells.
  • CUDA and Triton candidates are independently exercised.
  • Backend/kernel provenance is present for invariance cells.
  • Silent fallback is rejected.
  • pack N/A is explicitly justified.
  • linear_logp is explicitly classified as optional.
  • C6/C7/C9/C10/C11 remain outside this PR.

…#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.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to 15e25

The PR adds shared numerical validation and GPU CI gates, but the current changes can still produce false-green validation, expose CI credentials during remote execution, read invalid memory, or fail through excessive GPU memory and runtime use on canonical workloads. Merge should wait for these correctness, security, and execution risks to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Reject non-forward judgments for legacy contracts. run_operator_suite accepts caller-supplied contracts, so a legacy contract with check_grad=True can apply forward thresholds to gradients. Raise ContractResolveError when judgment != "forward_accuracy" in the legacy branch, and add a regression test.

637-644: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The candidate operator runs twice for every non-canonical config.

The invariance loop at Line 605 already computes transformed_outputs for each non-canonical config. The accuracy loop recomputes them at Line 642. This doubles candidate executions for the whole matrix, and the reference runs once more per config. On GPU gates this is the dominant cost.

If the second execution is intentional (repeat-determinism evidence), please state that in a comment. Otherwise cache the per-config outputs from the invariance loop and reuse them.

_classify_process decides red, pending_hopper, and N/A from substrings such as "has no backward", "needs a Hopper", and "layout_supported". Any wording change in scripts/check_forward_invariance.py or scripts/check_gradient_invariance.py silently reclassifies a cell, and a Hopper-blocked cell would then be reported red (or worse, a real failure would be reported pending_hopper).

validate=True forces a host-device synchronization on every call.

The base apply runs (valid_targets < 0).any() and (valid_targets >= vocab_size).any() when validate is true. Each check reads a device tensor into a Python bool, so every call blocks on the CUDA stream. That cost is acceptable inside the validation harness but not on a training path.

Expose validate as a keyword argument with a default of False, and let the harness opt in.

Also add a short docstring stating that forward_fp32 is an alias because the kernel already accumulates and returns FP32. Otherwise the duplicate body reads as an oversight.

actions/checkout writes the GITHUB_TOKEN into .git/config by default. This job then runs ci/run_gpu_ci.sh, which provisions a remote RunPod host. Any step that copies or archives the workspace would carry the credential off the runner. The job needs no authenticated git operations after checkout.

The verifier passes when the payload has no cells.

Line 56 defaults counts to {}, so red is 0. Line 61 defaults cells to [], so the provenance loop does not run. A truncated or empty artifact therefore reports C8 gate passed. Require a non-empty cell list and a non-zero green count.

## cuda-logp-no-backward

**Resolved on 2026-08-13:** `FusedLogpGenericOp` now has a row-local FP32
softmax VJP bridge. RTX 3060 C4 reports all `dlogits` invariance errors as 0.

- **Op:** `logp`
- **Profile:** `cuda_bf16` (C2 status is `declared`, not `missing_required`)
- **Judgment:** `gradient_accuracy` / `gradient_invariance`
- **Symptom:** `FusedLogpGenericOp` calls `_C.fused_logp` with no `torch.autograd.Function`; no `dlogits`.
- **Repro:**
```bash
python scripts/check_gradient_invariance.py --op logp --candidate cuda --backend-profile cuda_bf16
```
- **Hopper:** will not clear this.

Line 27 marks cuda-logp-no-backward resolved. Line 38 still states "will not clear this." The two statements conflict, so a reader cannot tell the current status. Also confirm the host in line 28: the PR reports H20 validation, but this entry cites RTX 3060.

## Open finding — CUDA `logprob` has no backward

`FusedLogpGenericOp` (`rl_engine/kernels/ops/cuda/loss/logp.py:94-133`) calls
`_C.fused_logp` directly and is not wired through `torch.autograd.Function`, so
`dlogits` cannot be produced at all. C2 declares `cuda_bf16 / logprob` as
`declared`, but #270 requires `dlogits` as a stable gradient name on the
training path. This is the same class as the three Triton `missing_required`
nodes, except C2 does not record it — so it is a **Blocker candidate**, not a
`missing_required` row that can simply be tracked.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The backward grid does not scale to real vocabulary sizes.

_embedding_bwd launches one program per (vocab, hidden) pair, and each program scans every token. For the canonical Qwen3-8B identity (vocab = 151936, hidden = 4096) that is about 6.2e8 programs, each looping over the full token count. Total work is O(vocab * hidden * n_tokens), while the gradient itself only touches at most n_tokens distinct rows.

Restrict the launch to the unique token IDs present in ids, or use a sorted-segment reduction so the cost scales with n_tokens * hidden. Determinism is preserved because each output row is still reduced by a single program in a fixed order.

     `@staticmethod`
     def backward(ctx, grad_output: torch.Tensor):
         (ids,) = ctx.saved_tensors
         vocab, hidden = ctx.weight_shape
         grad_rows = grad_output.reshape(-1, hidden).contiguous()
-        grad_weight = torch.empty(
-            (vocab, hidden), device=grad_output.device, dtype=ctx.weight_dtype

The kernel then reads its target row from unique_ids + program_id(0) instead of using program_id(0) directly.

Validate token IDs against the vocabulary before the forward launch.

_embedding_fwd computes the load address as weight + token * hidden + offs and masks only the hidden dimension. A token ID outside [0, vocab) reads memory outside the weight tensor. The result is either garbage values or an illegal memory access, with no error from the wrapper. Note also that vocab is unpacked at Line 48 and never used, as Ruff RUF059 reports.

Align algorithm_property across profile and case records.

The triton_cuda_bf16 profile values differ from the corresponding Triton case values for embedding and lm_head. Use consistent values, or define and validate the intended per-case refinement.

manifest.raw["fixture_identity_sha256"] is read outside the guarded block.

Line 269 indexes manifest.raw after the try block ends. A manifest without that key raises an uncaught KeyError and prints a traceback, while every other manifest defect returns exit code 2 with a readable message. Move the lookup inside the guarded block, or use the same error path.

Gate RoPESM90Op by compute capability before adding it to the candidate list.

When a prebuilt extension exposes rope_apply_sm90, an SM86 runtime can add the SM90 candidate and fail when the kernel launches. Require compute capability 9.x in RoPESM90Op or the fixture.

- 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.
