ci: raise merge-tier entrypoint timeouts (H100 60->90, L4 30->45)

Both entrypoint jobs are killed mid-run by timeout_in_minutes while tests
are still passing, not by any failing test. The budgets had no headroom:
on main the H100 job timed out in 2 of the last 3 gate builds (2648, 2650)
and passed 2651 at 56/60 min; the L4 job passed at 26/30 min only with a
warm image cache. On the vLLM 0.25 wheel, model weight loading is slower
on the CI runners (like-for-like: +10 min total on H100, 1.7B TTS load
11s -> 132s on L4), which turns the coin flip into a guaranteed timeout
(build 2655).

+# Composable parallel strategies
+
+In vLLM-Omni, the `composable_parallel` system layers a declarative *parallel strategy* on top of the existing stage configs. A strategy YAML maps each pipeline stage (by its `model_stage` name) to a stack of axis declarations — one per parallelism dimension — that the engine translates into per-stage parallel sizing (`tensor_parallel_size`, `data_parallel_size`, `pipeline_parallel_size`, expert-parallel toggle, replica count) and, when relevant, an orchestrator-wide load-balancer policy.
+
+Strategies are intentionally narrow: each one only writes the axes it declares, leaving every other engine arg untouched. This makes a strategy file a small, reusable overlay you can swap independently of the deploy YAML (see `configuration/stage_configs.md`).
+
+!!! note
+    Composable parallel is **opt-in**. Passing `--strategy-config <path/to/strategy.yaml>` overlays the derived sizing onto the registry-merged stages *before* any CLI overrides are applied. When `--strategy-config` is omitted, stages remain exactly as their deploy YAML produces them.
+
+## Top-level schema reference
+
+A strategy file has a single top-level mapping, `strategies`, keyed by the `model_stage` name of each stage you want to overlay. Each value is a list of axis declarations (see [StrategySpec fields](#strategyspec-fields) below).
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `strategies` | `dict[str, list]` | required | — | Maps `model_stage` name (e.g. `thinker`, `talker`, `code2wav`, `dit`) to a list of axis declarations. The key MUST be the stage name, not the integer `stage_id`. See `vllm_omni/config/composable_parallel/strategy_loader.py`. |
+
+### StrategySpec fields
+
+Each entry in a stage's list becomes one `StrategySpec` (see `vllm_omni/config/composable_parallel/spec.py`). The loader fills in `routing` and `aggregation` from per-kind defaults, so the file stays compact.
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `axis` | str | required | — | Mesh-axis kind. One of `tp`, `dp`, `pp`, `ep`, `stage_replica` (wired today) or `sp_ulysses`, `sp_ring`, `cfg`, `vae_pp`, `hsdp`, `stage_pp`, `cp` (reserved; declaring one raises `AxisTranslationError` at translate time). See `MeshAxisKind` in `vllm_omni/config/composable_parallel/spec.py`. |
+| `size` | int | required | — | Axis degree. Must be `> 0`. |
+| `routing` | str | optional | per-kind default | Stateless routing policy. Accepted only for `dp` / `stage_replica`; other kinds reject it. Values: `random`, `round_robin`, `least_queue`. (`hash` is recognised but currently raises `NotImplementedError`.) See `RouteByStage` in `vllm_omni/config/composable_parallel/routing.py`. |
+| `l1_owner` | str | optional | per-kind default | Overrides which layer owns request routing for this axis. `engine` for `tp`/`dp`/`pp`/`ep`, `delegated` for `stage_replica`. Recorded into `shard_extension`. |
+| `name` | str | optional | axis kind | Human-readable label for this spec, used in error messages. |
+
+Two additional `StrategySpec` slots — `layer_hook_specs` and `kernel_specs` — let advanced authors bind layer-walker hook IDs (`LayerHookSpec`) or kernel IDs (`KernelSpec`) onto an axis. These are not exposed by the YAML loader today and are intended for programmatic construction. See `vllm_omni/config/composable_parallel/spec.py` for the dataclasses.
+
+### CLI flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `--strategy-config PATH` | Path to a `strategy.yaml`. Only takes effect on registry-based deploy paths (`--deploy-config` or the bundled default deploy YAML). Its derived sizing is overlaid onto the merged stages *before* CLI overrides. |
+| `--stage-configs-path PATH` | **Legacy.** Loads the old `stage_args` YAML schema for un-migrated models. Passing `--strategy-config` together with this path is silently inapplicable — vLLM-Omni emits a warning and the strategy is ignored (see `vllm_omni/entrypoints/utils.py`, lines 372–380). |
+| `--omni-lb-policy POLICY` | Orchestrator-wide load-balancer policy. Strategy-derived from any `stage_replica` axis; an explicit CLI value wins and must match the derived one or `AsyncOmniEngine` raises `Conflicting load-balancer policy` at construction. |
+
+!!! warning
+    `--strategy-config` cannot be used with `--stage-configs-path` (the legacy deploy path). If your model has not been migrated to the registry-based pipeline yet, the strategy is silently dropped with a warning. Migrate to a registry-based model or use `--deploy-config` to apply a strategy.
+
+## Sub-schemas
+
+### `axis`
+
+The set of recognised axis kinds is the `MeshAxisKind` enum in `vllm_omni/config/composable_parallel/spec.py`:
+
+```yaml
+# Translatable today (see `_SUPPORTED_KINDS` in translator.py).
+axis: tp              # tensor parallel — sets tensor_parallel_size
+axis: dp              # engine data parallel — sets data_parallel_size (vLLM's intra-engine DP LB)
+axis: pp              # pipeline parallel — sets pipeline_parallel_size
+axis: ep              # dense expert parallel — sets enable_expert_parallel=True; size must equal tp*dp
+axis: stage_replica   # omni-coordinator-level replica fan-out — sets num_replicas + omni_lb_policy
+
+# Reserved (raise AxisTranslationError today; declared in the type system for forward compat).
+axis: sp_ulysses
+axis: sp_ring
+axis: cfg
+axis: vae_pp
+axis: hsdp
+axis: stage_pp
+axis: cp
+```
+
+### `routing`
+
+The full closed hierarchy lives in `vllm_omni/config/composable_parallel/routing.py` (`Broadcast`, `PartitionByHash`, `ShardSequence`, `ShardSpatial`, `RouteByExpert`, `PipelineMicrobatch`, `DuplicateWithCondTag`, `RouteByStage`). For YAML authors only `RouteByStage` is exposed as a `routing:` string, and only for `dp` / `stage_replica` axes (other axes have fixed routing — `tp`/`ep` broadcast, `pp` microbatch). Recognised policies:
+
+```yaml
+routing: random         # uniform-random across replicas/DP ranks
+routing: round_robin    # cycle through replicas/DP ranks (the default for dp/stage_replica)
+routing: least_queue    # send to the replica with the smallest backlog
+# routing: hash         # recognised but raises NotImplementedError; no key-stable balancer yet
+```
+
+### `aggregation`
+
+Aggregation is filled in automatically by the loader (`_default_aggregation` in `vllm_omni/config/composable_parallel/strategy_loader.py`) from the axis kind, so users do not author it:
+
+| Axis kind | Aggregation pattern |
+|-----------|---------------------|
+| `tp`, `ep` | `TakeRank` (all ranks agree; pick one) |
+| `dp`, ep (in some flows) | `Union` (disjoint replica results) |
+| `pp` | `StitchPipeline` |
+| `stage_replica` | `FanInByStage` |
+
+Full pattern hierarchy: `TakeRank`, `Union`, `GatherDim`, `AllGather`, `StitchSpatial`, `StitchPipeline`, `Combine`, `FanInByStage` (see `vllm_omni/config/composable_parallel/aggregation.py`).
+
+## Precedence
+
+From highest to lowest, when the same axis is touched by multiple layers:
+
+1. **CLI overrides** (`--stage_N_tensor_parallel_size`, `--stage-overrides`, `--omni-lb-policy`, etc.). A CLI value always wins; a warning is emitted whenever it overrides a strategy-declared axis (see `_reconcile_strategy_with_cli` in `vllm_omni/config/config_factory.py`).
+2. **Strategy YAML** (`--strategy-config`). Derived sizing is written onto the merged stages with *conflict-on-explicit* semantics — if the deploy YAML already set a value to something different, application raises `StrategyApplyError`.
+3. **Deploy YAML** (`--deploy-config` or the bundled `vllm_omni/deploy/<model_type>.yaml`).
+4. **Parser defaults.**
+
+After CLI overrides land, the device-layout guard re-runs (`check_device_layout`, called from `_reconcile_strategy_with_cli`) against the *effective* `tp * dp * pp * num_replicas` and the resolved `devices` string, so a `--devices` or `--tensor-parallel-size` that conflicts with the strategy's world size cannot slip past the pre-spawn check.
+
+## Worked example
+
+### Example 1 — `strategy_tp2.yaml`
+
+Shard the `thinker` stage with TP=2 on top of the bundled Qwen2.5-Omni deploy YAML. Routing is fixed (broadcast) for TP, so no `routing:` field is needed.
+
+```yaml
+# examples/offline_inference/qwen2_5_omni/strategy_tp2.yaml
+strategies:
+  thinker:
+    - axis: tp
+      size: 2
+```
+
+Launch:
+
+```bash
+python3 end2end.py --query-type text --num-prompts 6 \
+    --strategy-config strategy_tp2.yaml \

+Effective per-stage config and the derived orchestrator knob:
+
+| Stage (`model_stage`) | `tensor_parallel_size` | `stage_replica_size` | `omni_lb_policy` (derived) |
+|-----------------------|------------------------|----------------------|----------------------------|
+| `thinker`             | 1                      | **2**                | **`round-robin`**          |
+| `talker`              | 1                      | 1                    | —                          |

+
+The derived `omni_lb_policy = round-robin` is **not** written into any stage's engine args. Instead it is surfaced on `StrategyApplyResult.omni_lb_policy` and applied once at orchestrator construction by `AsyncOmniEngine._apply_strategy_lb_policy` (see `vllm_omni/engine/async_omni_engine.py`, lines 1107–1134). If you also pass `--omni-lb-policy round-robin` the values must match; passing a different value raises `Conflicting load-balancer policy`.
+
+## Per-field deep-dive
+
+### `name`
+
+Default: the axis kind (e.g. `"tp"`).
+
+Human-readable label that appears in `AxisTranslationError` and `StrategyApplyError` messages. Set it to disambiguate two stages declaring the same axis kind when scanning logs.
+
+### `mesh_axis` (`axis` + `size`)
+
+Default: no default — both fields are required.
+
+`axis` chooses the parallelism dimension; `size` is its degree. Five kinds are wired end-to-end today (`tp`, `dp`, `pp`, `ep`, `stage_replica`); the remaining kinds in `MeshAxisKind` are reserved and raise `AxisTranslationError` at translate time so a typo cannot silently become a no-op (see `_SUPPORTED_KINDS` in `vllm_omni/config/composable_parallel/translator.py`). For `ep`, the size MUST equal `tensor_parallel_size * data_parallel_size`.
+
+### `routing`
+
+Default: per-kind — `RouteByStage(round_robin)` for `dp` and `stage_replica`; `PipelineMicrobatch()` for `pp`; `Broadcast()` for `tp`/`ep` and any other kind.
+
+User-facing string only on `dp` and `stage_replica` axes. The four recognised values are `random`, `round_robin`, `least_queue`, `hash`; `hash` is rejected today with `NotImplementedError`. See `RouteByStage` in `vllm_omni/config/composable_parallel/routing.py`.
+
+### `l1_owner`
+
+Default: per-kind — `engine` for `tp`/`dp`/`pp`/`ep`, `delegated` for `stage_replica`.
+
+Overrides which layer owns request routing along this axis. `engine` means vLLM realizes routing intra-engine; `delegated` means the omni coordinator owns routing across independent replicas. Set this only when overriding the per-kind default in `_DEFAULT_L1_OWNER` (`vllm_omni/config/composable_parallel/translator.py`); invalid values fail fast in `_resolve_l1_owner`.
+
+### `stage_replica` and `omni_lb_policy`
+
+`stage_replica` is *not* a vLLM world dimension; it spins up `size` independent engine replicas of one stage, coordinated by the omni `StagePool` load balancer. The axis writes both:
+
+- The stage's `num_replicas` (a per-stage deploy knob).
+- The pipeline-wide `omni_lb_policy` string (an orchestrator-level knob).
+
+Because `omni_lb_policy` is read once at `AsyncOmniEngine` construction — not from per-stage engine args — only one value is allowed across the whole pipeline. If two stages declare conflicting policies, application raises (see `apply_strategy_specs` in `vllm_omni/config/composable_parallel/apply.py`, lines 253–260). To set this knob manually instead, use `--omni-lb-policy` on the CLI; see [the model stage docs](stage_configs.md) for how stage replicas plug into the orchestrator at runtime.
+
+### `model_stage` keys
+
+Default: no default — required for every entry under `strategies:`.
+
+Strategy keys MUST be `model_stage` *names* (strings), the same labels stage configs use for `engine_args.model_stage` (see [`model_stage` in `stage_configs.md`](stage_configs.md#engine_argsmodel_stage)). Integer `stage_id` values are not accepted; the resolver matches on `model_stage` exactly (`_resolve_stage` in `vllm_omni/config/composable_parallel/apply.py`).
+
+## Common pitfalls
+
+!!! warning "Using `stage_id` integers as keys"
+    Strategy keys are `model_stage` names (str), not integer stage IDs. A file that uses an integer index will raise at apply time:
+
+    ```text
+    StrategyApplyError: strategy role model_stage=0 did not match any stage;
+    available stages: 'thinker'(id=0), 'talker'(id=1), 'code2wav'(id=2)
+    ```
+
+    Use the `model_stage` name (e.g. `thinker`) instead.
+
+!!! warning "Mixing CLI overrides with a strategy on the same axis"
+    A strategy is meant to be the single writer for the axes it declares. If a CLI override (`--stage_0_tensor_parallel_size`, `--stage-overrides '{"0": {...}}'`) sets the same axis, the **CLI value wins** and a warning is emitted from `_reconcile_strategy_with_cli`. The device-layout guard then re-runs against the effective layout, so a CLI override that breaks `tp * dp * pp * num_replicas` will still fail fast at config time.
+
+!!! warning "Passing `--strategy-config` against the legacy `--stage-configs-path`"
+    Composable parallel only applies on the registry-based deploy path. If a model still resolves through the legacy `stage_args` YAML (loaded via `--stage-configs-path`), `--strategy-config` is silently inapplicable and emits:
+
+    ```text
+    --strategy-config (<path>) was provided but model '<model>' resolves via the
+    legacy stage_configs YAML path, which does not support composable-parallel
+    strategies; the strategy is ignored. Use a registry-based model to apply it.
+    ```
+
+    Migrate the model to the new deploy schema (see `configuration/stage_configs.md`) before applying a strategy.
+
+!!! warning "Conflicting `omni_lb_policy` across stages"
+    `omni_lb_policy` is a single pipeline-wide knob. If two `stage_replica` axes in different stages derive different policies, `apply_strategy_specs` raises:
+
+    ```text
+    StrategyApplyError: role 'talker' derives omni_lb_policy='least-queue-length'
+    but role 'thinker' already derived 'round-robin'. The load-balancer policy is
+    pipeline-wide; only one value is allowed.
+    ```
+
+    Make the policies match, drop one, or supply the value explicitly via `--omni-lb-policy`.

 ## Configuration
@@ -210,6 +212,36 @@ Notes:
 - `SAGE_ATTN_3` is only selected on CUDA when `sageattn3` is importable and the GPU is Blackwell-class.
 - SageAttention3's Blackwell kernel assumes `Hq == Hkv`. In vLLM-Omni, GQA/MQA diffusion requests fall back to PyTorch SDPA for correctness.
 
+## HuggingFace Kernels Hub Backends
+
+To achieve perfect numerical consistency between **training** (typically using HuggingFace Diffusers with Hub kernels) and **serving/rollout** (using vLLM-Omni), you can use the Hub-based attention backends. This eliminates numerical drift / sampling divergence caused by executing different local kernel versions during rollout.
+
+The following backend options are supported:
+- `FLASH_ATTN_HUB` (HuggingFace `kernels-community/flash-attn2`)
+- `FLASH_ATTN_3_HUB` (HuggingFace `kernels-community/flash-attn3`, Hopper sm_90+ only)
+
+### Installation
+
+To use these backends, you must install the `kernels` library:
+
+```bash
+pip install kernels==0.14.1
+```
+
+If the `kernels` library is not available in the environment, vLLM-Omni will log a warning and fall back gracefully to the corresponding local backend implementations (`FLASH_ATTN`). On CUDA GPUs below Hopper (compute capability < 9.0), `FLASH_ATTN_3_HUB` falls back to `FLASH_ATTN_HUB`.
+
+### Usage
+
+Select a Hub backend using the global CLI flag or environment variables:
+
+```bash
+# Environment variable
+export DIFFUSION_ATTENTION_BACKEND=FLASH_ATTN_HUB
+
+# CLI flag
+vllm-omni serve <model> --diffusion-attention-backend FLASH_ATTN_HUB
+```

+## Overview
+
+This folder provides a unified CLI script for image-to-video generation using vLLM-Omni diffusion/video pipelines. The script selects practical defaults for supported model families while still exposing common sampling, memory, and parallelism options.
+
+### Supported Models
+
+| Model | Default Resolution | Default Frames | Default Steps | Guidance | VRAM Notes |
+| ----- | ------------------ | -------------- | ------------- | -------- | ---------- |
+| `Wan-AI/Wan2.2-I2V-A14B-Diffusers` | 480 x 832 | 81 | 50 | 5.0 | Around 60 GiB BF16 for basic single-card usage |
+| `Wan-AI/Wan2.2-TI2V-5B-Diffusers` | 480 x 832 | 81 | 50 | 4.0 | Around 20–25 GiB BF16, smallest I2V model |
+| `hunyuanvideo-community/HunyuanVideo-1.5-Diffusers-480p_i2v` | 480 x 832 | 121 | 50 | 6.0 | Around 100 GiB at default settings; the example enables `--enable-cpu-offload` + VAE tiling/slicing to fit an 80 GiB card |
+| LTX2 (local path + `--model-class-name LTX2ImageToVideoPipeline`) | 512 x 768 | 121 | 40 | 4.0 | Memory use depends on frame count and tensor parallelism |
+
+!!! info
+    Peak VRAM: based on basic single-card usage, batch size = 1, without any acceleration/optimization features. Some model weights cannot fit into one card with 80 GiB VRAM, which may need to use CPU offloading.
+
+Default model: `Wan-AI/Wan2.2-I2V-A14B-Diffusers`.
+
+## Prerequisites

+## Quick Start
+
+### Python API
+
+Single-prompt generation using TI2V-5B (lightweight):
+
+```python
+import PIL.Image
+import torch
+
+from vllm_omni.entrypoints.omni import Omni
+from vllm_omni.inputs.data import OmniDiffusionSamplingParams
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    image = PIL.Image.open("cherry_blossom.jpg").convert("RGB")
+    image = image.resize((576, 320))
+
+    omni = Omni(
+        model="Wan-AI/Wan2.2-TI2V-5B-Diffusers",
+        flow_shift=12.0,
+    )
+    outputs = omni.generate(
+        {
+            "prompt": "Cherry blossoms swaying gently in the breeze, petals falling",
+            "multi_modal_data": {"image": image},
+        },
+        OmniDiffusionSamplingParams(
+            height=320,
+            width=576,
+            num_frames=17,
+            num_inference_steps=20,
+            guidance_scale=4.0,
+            generator=torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(42),
+        ),
+    )
+    from diffusers.utils import export_to_video
+    frames = outputs[0].request_output.images
+    export_to_video(frames, "quick_test_i2v.mp4", fps=16)
+```
+
+### Local CLI Usage
+
+Quick test using TI2V-5B with a small resolution and few frames:
+
+```bash
+python image_to_video.py \
+  --model Wan-AI/Wan2.2-TI2V-5B-Diffusers \
+  --image cherry_blossom.jpg \
+  --prompt "Cherry blossoms swaying gently in the breeze, petals falling, smooth motion" \
+  --height 320 \
+  --width 576 \
+  --num-frames 17 \
+  --guidance-scale 4.0 \
+  --num-inference-steps 20 \
+  --flow-shift 12.0 \
+  --fps 16 \
+  --output quick_test_i2v.mp4
+```

+## FAQ
+
+**OOM errors**: Try using `--vae-use-slicing` and `--vae-use-tiling` to reduce memory usage. For very large models, add `--enable-cpu-offload` or `--enable-layerwise-offload`.
+
+**Auto-calculated resolution**: If `--height` and `--width` are not provided, the script calculates output dimensions from the input image while maintaining aspect ratio and targeting 480 x 832 area (or 512 x 768 for LTX2).
+
+**Wan2.2 MoE vs unified**: `I2V-A14B` is a larger Mixture-of-Experts model with separate low/high-noise DiT stages (use `--guidance-scale-high` and `--boundary-ratio`). `TI2V-5B` is a smaller unified T2V+I2V model that does not need these extra arguments.

-The shipped `ming_flash_omni_image.yaml` allocates the thinker on GPUs 0–3
-(TP=4) and the diffusion stage on GPU 4 (TP=1). Copy the YAML and edit
-`devices` per stage to relocate; with fewer GPUs available, drop
-the thinker TP to 2 and run the diffusion stage on a free card. Image-gen
-warmup takes roughly an extra 30–60 s on top of the thinker — set
-`--stage-init-timeout 1800` if the default 300 s is too tight.

+## Image generation (text-to-image / img2img)
+
+Ming-flash-omni-2.0 also exposes an image-generation (diffusion) stage. Launch with the image deploy YAML, which adds an image-gen stage behind the thinker.
+
+The image-generation stage is a standard vLLM-Omni diffusion pipeline (`MingImagePipeline`); its request knobs are declared in `vllm_omni/model_extras/ming_flash_omni.py` and routed through `extra_body`, so they no longer need a bespoke `sampling_params_list` recipe (that form is still available for per-stage thinker sampling — see below).
+
+```bash
+vllm serve Jonathan1909/Ming-flash-omni-2.0 --omni \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/ming_flash_omni_image.yaml \
+    --stage-init-timeout 1800 \
+    --init-timeout 1800 \
+    --port 8091
+```
+
+With fewer GPUs, copy the YAML and drop the thinker to TP=2 with the DiT on a
+free card.
+
+### Online (text-to-image)
+
+Request image output with `"modalities": ["image"]`:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "Jonathan1909/Ming-flash-omni-2.0",
+    "messages": [
+      {
+        "role": "user",
+        "content": "Please draw a cute cat."
+      }
+    ],
+    "modalities": ["image"]
+  }' \
+  | jq -r '.choices[0].message.content[0].image_url.url | split(",")[1]' \
+  | base64 -d > ming_imagegen.png
+```
+
+**Quick form — `extra_body`** (keys are filtered against the declared set and routed into every stage's `extra_args`). Convenient, but it does **not** let you set the thinker (stage-0) sampling params. Wrap the knobs in a literal `"extra_body"` object for raw curl; the OpenAI Python client's `extra_body=` kwarg produces the same request:
+
+```bash
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "Jonathan1909/Ming-flash-omni-2.0",
+    "modalities": ["image"],
+    "messages": [
+      {
+        "role": "user",
+        "content": "Draw a poster."
+      }
+    ],
+    "extra_body": {
+      "steps": 6,
+      "cfg": 1.5,
+      "height": 512,
+      "width": 512,
+      "seed": 123,
+      "byte5_text": ["理解与生成统一"],
+      "negative_prompt": "ugly, blurry, distorted"
+    }
+  }' \
+  | jq -r '.choices[0].message.content[0].image_url.url | split(",")[1]' \
+  | base64 -d > ming_imagegen_extra_body.png
+```
+
+**Full control — `sampling_params_list`** (one entry per stage: `[thinker, imagegen]`).
+Use this when you need to tune the thinker's own sampling (`temperature` / `top_p` / `top_k` / `max_tokens`), or to place knobs explicitly per stage.
+Note `negative_prompt` must sit on the **stage-0 thinker** `extra_args`; the imagegen-stage knobs (`steps` / `cfg` / `height` / `width` / `seed` / `byte5_text`) go on the **stage-1** entry:
+
+```bash
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{

+        "top_k": 1,
+        "max_tokens": 1,
+        "seed": 42,
+        "extra_args": {
+          "negative_prompt": "ugly, blurry, distorted"
+        }
+      },
+      {
+        "seed": 42,
+        "extra_args": {
+          "steps": 6,
+          "cfg": 1.5,
+          "height": 512,

+  }' \
+  | jq -r '.choices[0].message.content[0].image_url.url | split(",")[1]' \
+  | base64 -d > ming_imagegen_knobs.png
+```
+
+### Knobs (declared `extra_body` params)
+
+| Key | Default | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `height` / `width` | 1024 | Output resolution (multiples of `vae_scale_factor * 2`, currently 16). |
+| `steps` | 30 | Number of FlowMatchEuler denoise steps. |
+| `cfg` | 2.0 | Classifier-free guidance scale. |
+| `seed` | 42 | Per-request RNG seed. |
+| `byte5_text` | (auto) | Glyph text for ByT5 enhancement; raw strings are auto-wrapped to Ming's `Text "…". ` format. Auto-extracted from quoted spans in the prompt when omitted. |
+| `negative_prompt` | (empty) | Real CFG negative conditioning. Spawns a CFG-text companion via `expand_cfg_prompts`; **online / text-to-image only** (offline uses Ming's default zero-negative). |
+
+For img2img, add an `image_url` content part to the user message (online) or pass `--image` (offline); the reference image is routed into the DiT stage as `extra[reference_image]`.
+

+"""Apply declarative parallel strategies onto merged stage configs.
+
+This is the *override-after-merge* seam. ``merge_pipeline_deploy`` first fuses
+the pipeline topology + deploy YAML into a list of ``StageConfig`` objects; this
+module then overlays the engine sizing derived from a per-role
+``StrategySpec`` stack onto those stages.
+
+Design rules (one writer per axis):
+
+* A strategy only writes the axes it actually declares. If a stack has no ``tp``
+  axis, this module never touches ``tensor_parallel_size`` — it does not force a
+  default of 1.
+* **Conflict-on-explicit.** If a knob was already set explicitly by the deploy
+  YAML and the strategy derives a different value, we raise rather than silently
+  override. Equal values are a no-op; unset values are filled.
+* **Pre-spawn device check.** When a stage declares ``devices``, the device
+  count must be consistent with the engine world size (``tp * dp * pp``) and the
+  replica count, so misconfigurations fail at config time instead of at spawn.
+
+``omni_lb_policy`` is *not* a per-stage config knob: omni reads it once at
+orchestrator construction (``AsyncOmniEngine``), not from stage configs. So a
+stage_replica axis's derived policy is surfaced on :class:`StrategyApplyResult`
+for the caller to pass to the orchestrator; it is never silently written into a

+"""Load per-role parallel strategies from a strategy file.
+
+The strategy file is a small, optional companion to the deploy config. It maps a
+logical role (``model_stage``, e.g. ``thinker``) to a list of axis declarations,
+each of which becomes one :class:`StrategySpec`. YAML is the only format wired up
+today, but the module/symbol names stay format-agnostic so a different source can
+be added without renaming the public surface::
+
+    strategies:
+      thinker:
+        - axis: tp
+          size: 2
+      talker:
+        - axis: stage_replica
+          size: 2
+          routing: round_robin   # random | round_robin | least_queue
+      code2wav:
+        - axis: stage_replica
+          size: 2
+          routing: round_robin
+
+Per-axis fields:
+
+* ``axis`` (required): mesh-axis kind (``tp``, ``dp``, ``pp``, ``ep``,
+  ``stage_replica`` are translatable today).
+* ``size`` (required): axis degree (> 0).
+* ``routing`` (optional): stateless policy for ``dp`` / ``stage_replica`` axes
+  (``random`` / ``round_robin`` / ``least_queue``). Ignored for axes whose
+  routing is fixed (``tp`` broadcast, ``pp`` microbatch).
+* ``l1_owner`` (optional): ``engine`` or ``delegated``; overrides the default
+  owner for the axis (recorded in ``shard_extension``).
+* ``name`` (optional): a label for the spec; defaults to the axis kind.
+
+Routing/aggregation patterns are filled in from sensible per-kind defaults so
+the file stays compact; the translator validates the combination.
