Hi team,

Congratulations on the great work! I was studying the repository and noticed a few potential engineering and performance issues in both the vLLM and SGLang patches. This PR unifies the fixes across both frameworks.

1. Robustness of layer_id extraction
In the decoder and attention initializations, layer_id was parsed using a hardcoded string split (split(".")[-1]). If downstream module naming conventions change, this throws a ValueError.

  • Fix: Replaced with regex re.findall(r'\d+', prefix) to safely extract the layer index, and passed layer_id explicitly down to the attention modules.

2. Performance Impact of Dynamic Return Types
In the attention forward passes, the return signature was inconsistent (returning a single Tensor vs. a Tuple), forcing a dynamic type-check (isinstance) at the call site. This is a known cause for Graph Breaks in torch.compile and complicates CUDA Graph capture.

  • Fix: Standardized the return signatures to always be a Tuple (e.g., tuple[torch.Tensor, torch.Tensor | None]). This enabled static unpacking at the call sites, making the execution path compilation-friendly and avoiding graph fragmentation.

3. Cleaned up initialization debug prints.

(Note: I have applied these refactorings consistently across both indexcache_vllm.patch and indexcache.patch. I verified the logic locally, but as I'm currently on a Windows environment without a full CUDA build, please feel free to double-check if this applies cleanly in your distributed compile tests.)

Thanks!
