Summary

Add the Qwen3 FFN implementation factor to the mismatch ablation framework.

This PR wires the FFN orchestration from #304 into the GEMM operator checks introduced by #288. It compares the engine fast path with RL-Kernel's batch-invariant consistent path across the standard four ablation arms.

Depends on #288.

The consistent FFN reference is provided by #304 and remains prerequisite-gated until it is available.

What changed

  • Add gemm.ffn_implementation with four variants:
    • both sides use the fast path
    • both sides use the consistent reference
    • training uses the reference only
    • rollout uses the reference only
  • Implement the GEMM operator adapter:
    • build contracts from effective runtime configuration
    • read back the configuration that actually ran
    • normalize observed forward collectives
    • resolve replacement implementations without silently falling back
  • Record the Qwen3 FFN execution details needed for attribution:
    • hidden and local intermediate sizes
    • TP world size and precision contract
    • GEMM and activation backend provenance
    • Gate, Up, SwiGLU hidden, and Down output digests
  • Keep local FFN arithmetic separate from gemm.forward_reduce; this factor does not own TP communication.

CUDA is the default consistent backend. Triton is treated as an alternative consistent backend and is recorded through runtime provenance rather than introduced as another factor in this PR.

Validation

PYTHONPATH=. .venv-test/bin/pytest -q tests/test_mismatch_*.py
104 passed

Also checked:

  • GEMM plugin discovery lists both gemm.ffn_implementation and gemm.forward_reduce.
  • All four FFN switch values pass switch parsing.
  • Invalid dtype, shape, boolean, backend, and collective metadata fail closed.
  • Model identity mismatches invalidate an ablation arm, while packed/layout implementation differences remain record-only.
  • compileall, Black, and git diff --check pass.

The local environment does not contain PyTorch/CUDA, so the SM90 tests from #304 were not rerun here.

Follow-up integration

The Megatron and vLLM scoring backends in #288 are still placeholders. Runtime integration will need to provide the effective gemm.* readback fields, replacement injection, module provenance, and FFN stage digests declared by this factor.

Rollout and training compute logprobs for the same tokens with the same
weights and still disagree. This turns "which of the dozens of possible
causes is it" into switches that can be flipped one at a time and
attributed to a side.

Ships the framework only. Operators are claimed and written separately,
so operator_checks/ is empty by design and adding one changes nothing
outside its own directory.

Layout, in dependency order:

  schema/             pure data types, no behaviour
  pipeline/           the seven execution steps, free functions only
  engines/            the two sides under test
  reference_adapters/ wiring reference implementations in
  model_meta/         model shape and module correspondence
  operator_checks/    plugins, one directory per operator (empty)

Three design decisions worth stating:

Four variants, not two. A single swap cannot attribute a side: only a
one-sided swap says which side is at fault, and only the two-sided swap
proves the reference itself is sound. That last arm is the self-check
gate -- without it one wrong reference quietly steers every attribution,
which is worse than having no framework at all.

Four gates before the matrix. "Not measured" and "measured and clean"
are different, and confusing them is the mistake this kind of framework
is most likely to make. A silently reverted switch, missing evidence, an
incomplete set of logprob shards, or a failed pitfall guard each block a
verdict rather than passing through as a clean result.

Convergence is judged on clip_fraction, not dlogp_mean. At every
production floor the mean sits far below the GRPO clip edge, so judging
on it would mark almost every factor NOT_THIS_FACTOR while gradient
signal is being discarded in the tail.

Thresholds are code constants keyed by (model family, noise floor), not
configuration: a tunable threshold is one somebody can tune until the
test passes, and it has to enter the execution fingerprint so changing
it invalidates historical results.

39 framework tests, all on CPU via a synthetic scoring backend that can
reproduce the failure modes above. Nothing here claims anything about
real Megatron or vLLM numerics.
The framework shipped without operators. This adds the three interfaces that
show the three shapes a factor can take, so each can be claimed and implemented
independently:

  attention/rope_fusion       implementation swap against a SHARED_BACKEND
  gemm/forward_reduce         collective communication, SELF_WRITTEN reference
  logprob/precision_downcast  parameter sweep, no reference

Every adapter method raises NotImplementedError; the declaration layer works, so
`list` and `plan` verify a factor is wired before anything is implemented.

engines/ gets megatron.py and vllm.py placeholders whose docstrings carry the
settings that must be pinned and the readback path for each. Since engines/ is
for the two sides under test, the CPU scoring harness moves out to
tests/mismatch_cpu_backend.py -- satisfying ScoringBackend does not make
something a side under test.

Drops MismatchFactor.owner and .tracked_by: ownership belongs in the issue
tracker, not in every factor declaration.

Adds README.md and two tutorials covering how to add a kernel factor and how to
add a communication feature.

Applied Clean Code chapter 4 across the package. The docstrings had grown into
design documents: rationale essays on types, restatements of the signature,
and system-wide explanation attached to one local declaration -- the "too much
information" and "nonlocal information" smells. That material belongs in
README.md and docs/, where it already is.

Removed roughly 530 lines. What survives is what the code cannot say for
itself: why a field is RECORD_ONLY, why a silent fallback is more dangerous
than an error, why thresholds are constants rather than configuration.

One executable change: declared_collectives() drops an intermediate variable
that only repeated the function name. Everything else is comments -- verified
by comparing every module's AST with docstrings stripped.

The README, both tutorials and the PR description each restated the four arms,
the gates and the noise floors. Duplicated prose goes stale in the copies
nobody edits, so each fact now lives in exactly one place: README holds the
concepts, the tutorials hold the steps, and the comm tutorial covers only what
differs from the kernel one.

Also dropped the code that the repository already shows. A tutorial that pastes
an entire factor declaration is a second copy to keep in sync; pointing at
operator_checks/attention/factors/rope_fusion.py is not.

1176 lines to 629.

…factor

Implement logprob's four operator-level methods against the WS2 TP-aware
contract semantics (issue RL-Align#241): build_contract maps each side's partial-LSE
merge onto the collective schema (all_reduce in NCCL order on training,
full-logits gather on rollout, fixed vocab-shard-order merge for the
rl_kernel reference), read_effective_config/observe_collectives report
engine state rather than requests, and resolve_implementation returns the
rejection trace instead of a bare None.

Add logp.lse_merge_order, the swap factor backed by the WS2 deterministic
vocab-parallel logprob reference. SELF_WRITTEN because neither TE nor
FlashInfer offers a vocab-parallel selected-logprob with a topology-fixed
merge order. Its prerequisite gates on the vocab_parallel_logp op, which
ships in issue RL-Align#241 PR3, so plan reports it as skipped until that lands.

Run the mismatch test suite in CI; it was not wired into any job.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 74376

The PR adds four Qwen3 FFN ablation variants and runtime provenance, but the current code still has paths that can abort diagnosis, misclassify precision or collective behavior, or silently drop findings, along with an invalid-metadata path that can escape as an uncaught error. These issues can make mismatch results unreliable or prevent checks from completing, so the PR is not merge-ready until the concrete issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Reject an indivisible padded_vocab instead of silently skewing the last shard.

The function floors the shard size and gives the remainder to the last rank. If padded_vocab % tp_world_size != 0, the returned bounds are not an even split, but the docstring and the name promise one. extra.vocab_shard_map is compared with MUST_MATCH_BITWISE, so a skewed map is used as ground truth without any signal.

MUST_MATCH_SEMANTICALLY compares floats with zero tolerance.

math.isclose(left, right, rel_tol=0.0, abs_tol=0.0) is equivalent to left == right. Both comparison tiers therefore behave identically for floats. A field such as extra.rope_theta that differs by one ULP is reported as SEMANTIC_MISMATCH. If the semantic tier is meant to allow representation noise, pass a non-zero tolerance. If exact equality is intended for both tiers, delete the float branch to remove the misleading code.

Reject non-integer numeric values in positive_int.

int(value) truncates floats and parses numeric strings. A runtime readback of attn.cp_world_size = 3.7 becomes 3 and passes validation.

A non-fp32 accumulate dtype aborts attribution instead of being reported.

build_contract raises when the runtime reports a non-fp32 accumulate dtype. precision_downcast.py Line 38 declares "precision.accumulate": ComparisonRule.MUST_MATCH_SEMANTICALLY. That rule can never report a mismatch, because any side that accumulates in bf16 fails contract construction first. A real bf16-accumulate rollout path is then an adapter error, not an attributed root cause.

Decide which layer owns this policy. Either record the observed accumulate precision and let the comparison rule flag it, or remove the unreachable rule from the factor.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Catch every import failure for a candidate module.

Only ImportError and OSError are caught. GPU-oriented modules such as vllm and flashinfer raise other exception types at import time when the CUDA runtime, driver, or device capability does not match. One such candidate then aborts the whole diagnosis run instead of being recorded as a rejected candidate. That defeats the purpose of collecting rejection reasons.

vllm get_rope rotary_embedding function signature return type

💡 Result:

The get_rope function in vLLM is a factory method used to retrieve or create a rotary embedding layer [1][2]. As of the current codebase, its function signature is defined as follows: def get_rope( head_size: int, max_position: int, is_neox_style: bool = True, rope_parameters: dict[str, Any] | None = None, dtype: torch.dtype | None = None, dual_chunk_attention_config: dict[str, Any] | None = None,) -> RotaryEmbedding The function returns an instance of a RotaryEmbedding class (or a subclass thereof, such as Llama3RotaryEmbedding, MRotaryEmbedding, or DualChunkRotaryEmbedding) [1][2]. Note that the library has recently undergone refactoring to standardize parameters, such as deriving the rotary dimension internally from head_size and partial_rotary_factor [3]. Users should refer to the specific version of vLLM they are using, as internal implementations may evolve [4][5].

site:github.com/vllm-project/vllm rotary_embedding get_rope signature returns RotaryEmbedding

💡 Result:

In the vLLM project, the get_rope function is a factory utility located in vllm.model_executor.layers.rotary_embedding that returns an instance of a RotaryEmbedding class [1][2]. The signature of the get_rope function is defined as follows: def get_rope( head_size: int, max_position: int, is_neox_style: bool = True, rope_parameters: dict[str, Any] | None = None, dtype: torch.dtype | None = None, dual_chunk_attention_config: dict[str, Any] | None = None,) -> RotaryEmbedding: Key aspects of this function include: 1. Return Type: It returns an instance of RotaryEmbedding (or a subclass, such as specialized scaling versions like NTKScalingRotaryEmbedding or YaRNScalingRotaryEmbedding depending on the configuration) [1][3]. 2. Evolution of Parameters: Historically, the function accepted a rotary_dim argument. However, this was deprecated and removed in favor of using a partial_rotary_factor within the rope_parameters dictionary [2][4]. The rotary dimension is now calculated internally as int(head_size * partial_rotary_factor) [1][5]. 3. Configuration: It heavily relies on the rope_parameters dictionary to handle different RoPE scaling types (e.g., linear, dynamic, yarn) and hyperparameters like rope_theta [1][6]. 4. Usage: It is designed to be called during model initialization to obtain a consistent RotaryEmbedding instance, which then provides methods for calculating cosine/sine caches used in attention mechanisms [1][7].

site:docs.flashinfer.ai flashinfer.rope.apply_rope signature

💡 Result:

The function signature for flashinfer.rope.apply_rope is as follows [1]: flashinfer.rope.apply_rope(q: Tensor, k: Tensor, indptr: Tensor, offsets: Tensor, rotary_dim: int | None = None, interleave: bool = False, rope_scale: float = 1, rope_theta: float = 10000.0) -> Tuple[Tensor, Tensor] Parameters: - q (torch.Tensor): The query tensor with shape (nnz, num_q_heads, head_dim) [1]. - k (torch.Tensor): The key tensor with shape (nnz, num_k_heads, head_dim) [1]. - indptr (torch.Tensor): CSR-style indptr tensor denoting the start pointer of each segment in the batch [1][2]. - offsets (torch.Tensor): The absolute position of the first token of each sequence [1][3]. - rotary_dim (int | None, optional): The dimensions to apply RoPE; if None, it applies to the entire head dimension [1][2]. Defaults to None. - interleave (bool, optional): Whether to use interleaved layout in the last dimension [1][2]. Defaults to False. - rope_scale (float, optional): The scaling factor for RoPE [1][2]. Defaults to 1. - rope_theta (float, optional): The theta value used in the RoPE embedding [1][2]. Defaults to 10000.0. Returns: - A tuple of (q_rotated, k_rotated), which are tensors with the same shapes as the input q and k [1][2]. FlashInfer also provides related functions such as flashinfer.rope.apply_rope_inplace (which operates in-place and returns None) [4], flashinfer.rope.apply_rope_pos_ids (which takes pos_ids instead of offsets) [2], and flashinfer.rope.apply_rope_with_cos_sin_cache (which utilizes precomputed cache) [5].

Replace or remove the rollout RoPE fallback

get_rope is a factory that returns a RotaryEmbedding; it does not have the tensor-based interface of flashinfer.rope.apply_rope. The resolver accepts any callable and passes it to the backend as the replacement. Wrap this fallback with an adapter, or remove it so resolution records a rejection.

Allow CP merge role-scoped variants and align the prerequisite name. Switch rejects the planner-generated p2p_nccl_reference@training and p2p_nccl_reference@rollout values. Add them to allowed_values. Replace p2p_nccl_attention_reference with a registered dispatch name; it is not registered in this repository. Empty collectives already report REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING instead of raising IndexError.

math.exp and math.log can raise on extreme deltas.

ratios holds exp(delta) for every active token. If a backend returns -inf for a zero-probability token, delta becomes -inf, exp returns 0.0, and math.log(0.0) at Line 122 raises ValueError: math domain error. A delta above about 709 makes math.exp raise OverflowError. The same math.log call also runs at Line 137. Compute the k3 estimator directly from delta and clamp the ratio.

🐛 Proposed fix
     magnitudes = [abs(delta) for delta in deltas]
-    ratios = [math.exp(delta) for delta in deltas]
+    # Clamp before exp/log: a -inf logprob would otherwise raise.
+    bounded = [max(-700.0, min(700.0, delta)) for delta in deltas]
+    ratios = [math.exp(delta) for delta in bounded]
     upper_edge = math.log1p(clip_eps)
     lower_edge = -math.log1p(-clip_eps) if clip_eps < 1.0 else float("inf")
     clipped = sum(1 for delta in deltas if delta > upper_edge or delta < -abs(lower_edge))
 
     # k3 estimator: rho - 1 - ln(rho)
-    approx_kl = sum(ratio - 1.0 - math.log(ratio) for ratio in ratios) / len(ratios)
+    approx_kl = sum(ratio - 1.0 - delta for ratio, delta in zip(ratios, bounded, strict=True)) / len(
+        ratios
+    )

Line 137 needs the same treatment: use max(ratios, key=...) over the bounded deltas instead of calling math.log again.

Call torch.use_deterministic_algorithms instead of replacing it.

When setting.key is torch.use_deterministic_algorithms, call the API with setting.value before the generic attribute assignment. The current assignment does not enable deterministic algorithms, replaces the callable with a boolean, and makes later API calls fail.

Evaluate lower-bound constraints before reporting APPLIED.

Line 100 accepts every readback value for a setting encoded as ">=...". A value below the required limit therefore reports APPLIED instead of FELL_BACK. This can accept an invalid batch-token limit and compare different execution paths.

Parse and compare the constraint, or store a typed predicate in RequiredSetting.

Pass routing_replay into the tolerance lookup.

Line 103 always uses routing_replay=None. Production moe and large_moe ranges require False or True. diagnosis._run_matrix() calls this function, so production MoE diagnosis raises ThresholdLookupError instead of producing a report.

Add a routing_replay parameter to tolerance_floor and propagate the observed runtime value from diagnosis.

Reject non-iterable evidence values.

Line 140 raises TypeError when an adapter returns None or another non-iterable value for evidence. This bypasses the adapter's GemmAdapterError contract for invalid runtime metadata. Validate the value before the membership test.

     if isinstance(evidence, str):
         evidence = (evidence,)
-    if FFN_STAGE_OUTPUTS in evidence:
