+# Uploader-only hardware presets for CUDA / NPU test YAML.

+# ``agents`` (+ optional top-level ``image`` for NPU) + ``plugins`` (+ ``retry``
+# for ``l4_*``), then strips ``mirror_hardwares`` before Buildkite upload.
+#
+# Omit the key: compose {chip}_{n} from pytest -m SKU + cards_n (max of several
+# positives; not cards_1 with no positive cards_* → that chip's highest existing preset).
+# Unset MIRROR_HW matches H100 or L4 in -m (both → H100); no match skips the step.
+# MIRROR_HW=b200 matches B200 in -m (else the step is skipped).
+# MIRROR_HW must be empty or b200 (case-insensitive); unknown values fail the upload.
+# CUDA preset strings (h100_4, l4_1) are omitted when MIRROR_HW=b200.
+# Unset MIRROR_HW keeps string presets. NPU presets ignore MIRROR_HW.

+"""Render and optionally upload Buildkite pipeline YAML with diff-aware logic.
+
+Bootstrap mode (``bootstrap-upload-steps.yml``):
+  - Hook uploads the entry YAML (``pipeline.yml`` / ``pipeline-npu.yml``) with one step that runs
+    ``upload_pipeline.py --upload <platform>/bootstrap-upload-steps.yml``.
+  - Injects ``if`` by step ``key`` from skip-ci and uploads child steps (image build, L2–L5 upload).
+  - Detect docs-only, pytest skip-mark-only, or combined skip-ci from git diff.
+  - When only CI level YAML changes, enable **L2/L3** upload steps for affected levels only.
+
+Test pipeline mode (e.g. test-merge.yml):
+  - Drop steps whose ``source_file_dependencies`` do not match changed files.
+  - Expand uploader-only ``mirror_hardwares`` into ``agents`` (+ optional ``image``
+    for NPU) + ``plugins`` (see ci_mirror_hardwares.yml).
+  - Omit ``mirror_hardwares`` to compose ``{chip}_{n}`` from pytest ``-m`` SKU
+    markers plus ``cards_n`` (max of several positives; ``not cards_1`` with no
+    positive ``cards_*`` uses that chip's highest existing preset). An explicit
+    preset string (``h100_2``) is used as-is (marks are ignored). Names that
+    are not keys in ``ci_mirror_hardwares.yml`` fail the upload.
+
+    Inferred chip: unset ``MIRROR_HW`` matches ``H100`` or ``L4`` in ``-m``
+    (both → H100); no match skips the step. ``MIRROR_HW=b200`` matches
+    ``B200`` in ``-m`` (otherwise skipped). ``-m`` is not rewritten.
+    ``MIRROR_HW`` must be empty or ``b200``; unknown values fail the upload.
+    A CUDA preset string such as ``h100_4`` is omitted when ``MIRROR_HW=b200``.
+
+Usage:
+  python3 upload_pipeline.py [--upload] [--all | --e2e] <pipeline.yml>
+
+Requires PyYAML (``pip install pyyaml``); installs it automatically when missing.

+description: Add a new diffusion model (text-to-image, text-to-video, image-to-video, text-to-audio, image editing) to vLLM-Omni, including native non-Diffusers ports, reference-parity validation, Cache-DiT, offload, and parallelism support (TP, SP/USP, CFG-Parallel, HSDP). Use when integrating or reviewing a new diffusion model, porting a Diffusers pipeline or custom model repository, creating a DiT adapter, reusing shared examples, or qualifying multi-GPU and memory optimizations.

+# Adding a Diffusion Model to vLLM-Omni
+
+## Overview
+
+This skill guides you through adding a new diffusion model to vLLM-Omni. The model may come from HuggingFace Diffusers (structured pipeline) or from a private/custom repo. The workflow differs significantly depending on the source.

+## Prerequisites

+Before starting, determine:
+
+1. **Model category**: Text-to-Image, Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video, Image Editing, Text-to-Audio, or Omni
+2. **Reference source**: Diffusers pipeline, custom repo, or a combination
+3. **Model HuggingFace ID** or local checkpoint path
+4. **Architecture**: Scheduler, text encoder, VAE, transformer/backbone
+
+## Step 0: Classify the Migration Path
+
+Check the model's HF repo for `model_index.json`. This determines your path:
+
+| Scenario | How to identify | Migration path |
+|----------|----------------|----------------|
+| **Already supported** | `_class_name` in `model_index.json` matches a key in `_DIFFUSION_MODELS` in `registry.py` | Skip implementation, then validate model-specific examples, tests, and docs as needed |
+| **Diffusers-based** | Has standard `model_index.json` with `_diffusers_version`, subfolders for `transformer/`, `vae/`, etc. | Follow **Path A** below |
+| **Native non-Diffusers model** | No Diffusers index, non-standard checkpoint hierarchy, or custom architecture in a separate repo | Follow **Path B** below; port the runtime natively unless an external adapter was explicitly requested |
+| **Hybrid** | Has some diffusers components (VAE) but custom transformer/fusion | Mix of Path A and Path B |
+
+Before coding, write a short integration contract covering runtime ownership,
+checkpoint discovery, reference revision, I/O geometry, attention semantics,
+CFG behavior, auxiliary components, target hardware, and the default deployment.
+For Path B, hybrid models, or any optimization work, read
+[references/native-model-integration-checklist.md](references/native-model-integration-checklist.md)
+and use its phase gates.
+
+## Path A: Diffusers-Based Model
+
+For models with a standard diffusers layout. See [references/transformer-adaptation.md](references/transformer-adaptation.md) for detailed code patterns.
+
+### A1. Analyze `model_index.json`
+
+Identify components: `transformer`, `scheduler`, `vae`, `text_encoder`, `tokenizer`.
+
+### A2. Create model directory
+
+```
+vllm_omni/diffusion/models/your_model_name/
+├── __init__.py
+├── pipeline_your_model.py
+└── your_model_transformer.py
+```
+
+### A3. Adapt transformer
+
+1. Copy from diffusers source. Remove mixins (`ModelMixin`, `ConfigMixin`, `AttentionModuleMixin`).
+2. Replace attention with `vllm_omni.diffusion.attention.layer.Attention` (QKV shape: `[B, seq, heads, head_dim]`).
+3. Add `od_config: OmniDiffusionConfig | None = None` to `__init__`.
+4. Add `load_weights()` method mapping diffusers weight names to vllm-omni names.
+5. Add class attributes for acceleration features such as `_repeated_blocks` and `_layerwise_offload_blocks_attrs` (see [references/transformer-adaptation.md](references/transformer-adaptation.md) for examples).
+
+### A4. Adapt pipeline
+
+Inherit from `nn.Module`. The key contract:
+
+```python
+class YourPipeline(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, *, od_config: OmniDiffusionConfig, prefix: str = ""):
+        # Load VAE, text encoder, tokenizer via from_pretrained()
+        # Instantiate transformer (weights loaded later via weights_sources)
+        self.weights_sources = [
+            DiffusersPipelineLoader.ComponentSource(
+                model_or_path=od_config.model, subfolder="transformer",
+                prefix="transformer.", fall_back_to_pt=True)]
+
+    def forward(self, req: OmniDiffusionRequest) -> DiffusionOutput:
+        # Encode prompt → prepare latents → denoise loop → VAE decode
+        return DiffusionOutput(output=output)
+
+    def load_weights(self, weights):
+        return AutoWeightsLoader(self).load_weights(weights)
+```
+
+Add post/pre-process functions in the same pipeline file. Register them in `registry.py`.
+
+### A4.1 Add progress bar support (recommended)
+
+For pipelines with a standard denoising loop, prefer the existing progress bar pattern instead of hand-rolled logging.
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.models.progress_bar import ProgressBarMixin
+
+class YourPipeline(nn.Module, ProgressBarMixin):
+    def forward(self, req: OmniDiffusionRequest) -> DiffusionOutput:
+        # ... prepare timesteps / latents ...
+        with self.progress_bar(total=len(timesteps)) as progress_bar:
+            for i, t in enumerate(timesteps):
+                # predict noise / scheduler step
+                latents = ...
+                progress_bar.update()
+
+        return DiffusionOutput(output=output)
+```
+
+For custom loop structures, follow `vllm_omni/diffusion/models/progress_bar.py` and existing pipelines using `ProgressBarMixin`.
+
+### A5. Register, test, docs → continue at Step 4 below.
+
+---
+
+## Path B: Native / Non-Diffusers Model
+
+For models without a Diffusers pipeline—weights in custom formats and model
+code in another public or private repository. Treat that repository as a pinned
+correctness oracle. A request for native support means the vLLM-Omni runtime
+must not import the reference implementation; an external adapter is appropriate
+only when the requested scope explicitly permits that dependency. See
+[references/custom-model-patterns.md](references/custom-model-patterns.md) for
+concrete integration patterns.
+
+### B1. Understand the reference repo
+
+Study the original model's code to identify:
+- **Model architecture files** (transformers, fusion modules, embeddings)
+- **Weight format** (safetensors, `.pth`, custom checkpoint structure)
+- **Weight loading helpers** (custom init functions, checkpoint loaders)
+- **Pre/post-processing** (image/audio transforms, tokenization, VAE encode/decode)
+- **External dependencies** (packages not on PyPI)
+- **Config format** (JSON config files, hardcoded dicts)
+
+### B2. Decide what lives WHERE
+
+This is the key design decision for custom models. Follow these placement rules:
+
+| Code type | Where to place | Example |
+|-----------|---------------|---------|
+| **Pipeline orchestration** (init, forward, denoise loop) | `vllm_omni/diffusion/models/<name>/pipeline_<name>.py` | Always required |
+| **Custom transformer/backbone** (ported and adapted to vllm-omni) | `vllm_omni/diffusion/models/<name>/<name>_transformer.py` or similar | `wan2_2.py`, `fusion.py`, `bagel_transformer.py` |
+| **Custom sub-models** (VAE, fusion, autoencoder) | `vllm_omni/diffusion/models/<name>/` as separate files | `autoencoder.py`, `fusion.py` |
+| **Reference-only code** | Keep outside the runtime; use a pinned revision for golden outputs and architecture analysis | Reference inference script |
+| **Explicit external adapter dependency** | External package, only when the requested scope and maintainer direction allow it | Compatibility adapter, not native support |
+| **Hardcoded model configs** | Module-level dicts in pipeline file | `VIDEO_CONFIG`, `AUDIO_CONFIG` dicts |
+| **Download/setup script** | `examples/offline_inference/<name>/download_<name>.py` | `download_<name>.py` |
+| **Custom `model_index.json`** | Generated by download script, placed at model root | Minimal: `{"_class_name": "YourPipeline", ...}` |
+
+### B3. Handle external dependencies
+
+If the model's code lives in a separate git repo, first decide whether the
+requested deliverable is native support or an external adapter. Do not silently
+choose the adapter path.
+
+**Option 1: Port the code directly** (default for native support)
+
+Copy the essential model files into `vllm_omni/diffusion/models/<name>/` and
+adapt them to shared vLLM-Omni contracts. Keep checkpoint loading strict and
+use the pinned reference only to generate parity evidence.
+
+**Option 2: Import with graceful fallback** (adapter scope only)
+
+```python
+try:
+    from external_model.utils import init_vae, load_checkpoint
+except ImportError:
+    raise ImportError(
+        "Failed to import from dependency 'external_model'. "
+        "Please run the download script first."
+    )
+```
+
+Use an external runtime dependency only when the user explicitly requested an
+adapter or a maintainer approved the exception. Document the dependency,
+pinned revision, installation path, and unsupported native features.
+
+### B4. Handle custom weight loading
+
+Custom models have two common patterns for weight loading:
+
+**Pattern 1: Bypass standard loader** (eager custom init)
+
+When the original model has complex custom init functions that load weights in `__init__`:
+
+```python
+class CustomPipeline(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, *, od_config, prefix=""):
+        super().__init__()
+        model = od_config.model
+        # Load everything eagerly in __init__ using custom helpers
+        self.vae = custom_init_vae(model, device=self.device)
+        self.text_encoder = custom_init_text_encoder(model, device=self.device)
+        self.transformer = CustomFusionModel(CONFIG)
+        load_custom_checkpoint(
+            self.transformer,
+            checkpoint_path=os.path.join(model, "model.safetensors"),
+        )
+        # NO weights_sources defined — bypasses standard loader
+
+    def load_weights(self, weights):
+        pass  # No-op — all weights loaded in __init__
+```
+
+**Pattern 2: Use standard loader with custom `load_weights`** (BAGEL style)
+
+When weights are in safetensors format but need name remapping:
+
+```python
+from vllm.model_executor.model_loader.weight_utils import default_weight_loader
+
+class CustomPipeline(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, *, od_config, prefix=""):
+        super().__init__()
+        # Instantiate model architecture without weights
+        self.bagel = BagelModel(config)
+        self.vae = AutoEncoder(ae_params)
+
+        # Point loader at the safetensors in the model root
+        self.weights_sources = [
+            DiffusersPipelineLoader.ComponentSource(
+                model_or_path=od_config.model,
+                subfolder=None,  # weights at root, not in subfolder
+                prefix="",
+                fall_back_to_pt=False,
+            )
+        ]
+
+    def load_weights(self, weights):
+        # Custom name remapping for non-diffusers weight names
+        params = dict(self.named_parameters())
+        loaded = set()
+        for name, tensor in weights:
+            # Remap original weight names to vllm-omni module names
+            name = self._remap_weight_name(name)
+            if name in params:
+                param = params[name]
+                weight_loader = getattr(param, "weight_loader", default_weight_loader)
+                weight_loader(param, tensor)
+                loaded.add(name)
+        return loaded
+```
+
+### B5. Create the `model_index.json`
+
+Prefer a `model_index.json` at the model root when vLLM-Omni owns an assembled
+checkpoint directory. For custom models, this is minimal:
+
+```json
+{
+    "_class_name": "YourModelPipeline",
+    "custom_key": "path/to/custom_weights.safetensors"
+}
+```
+
+The `_class_name` must match a key in `_DIFFUSION_MODELS` in `registry.py`.
+Additional keys are model-specific (accessed via `od_config.model_config`).
+
+If the released repository is immutable and has neither a root `config.json`
+nor a Diffusers index, add it to a generic native-checkpoint signature resolver:
+match the exact Hub ID or a distinctive set of local files and return the
+pipeline class. Do not use model-name substrings or add parallel one-off
+predicates in CLI, config, and serving consumers.
+
+If the model's weights come from multiple HF repos, write a **download script** that:
+1. Downloads from each repo
+2. Assembles into a single directory
+3. Generates `model_index.json`
+4. Installs any external dependencies (git clone + `.pth` file)
+
+Place at: `examples/offline_inference/<name>/download_<name>.py`
+
+### B6. Handle multi-modal inputs
+
+If the model accepts images, audio, or other multi-modal inputs, implement the protocol classes from `vllm_omni/diffusion/models/interface.py`:
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.models.interface import SupportImageInput, SupportAudioInput
+
+class MyPipeline(nn.Module, SupportImageInput, SupportAudioInput):
+    # Protocol markers — the engine uses these to enable proper input routing
+    pass
+```
+
+Preprocessing for custom models is typically done **inside `forward()`** rather than via registered pre-process functions, since the logic is often tightly coupled to the model.
+
+### B7. Continue at Step 4 below.
+
+---
+
+## Common Steps (Both Paths)
+
+### Step 4: Register Model in registry.py
+
+Edit `vllm_omni/diffusion/registry.py`:
+
+```python
+_DIFFUSION_MODELS = {
+    "YourModelPipeline": ("your_model_name", "pipeline_your_model", "YourModelPipeline"),
+}
+_DIFFUSION_POST_PROCESS_FUNCS = {
+    "YourModelPipeline": "get_your_model_post_process_func",  # if applicable
+}
+_DIFFUSION_PRE_PROCESS_FUNCS = {
+    "YourModelPipeline": "get_your_model_pre_process_func",  # if applicable
+}
+```
+
+The registry key is the `_class_name` from `model_index.json`. The tuple is `(folder_name, module_file, class_name)`.
+
+Create `__init__.py` exporting the pipeline class and any factory functions.
+
+### Step 5: Run, Test, Debug
+
+Use the appropriate existing example script:
+
+| Category | Script |
+|----------|--------|
+| Text-to-Image | `examples/offline_inference/text_to_image/text_to_image.py` |
+| Text-to-Video | `examples/offline_inference/text_to_video/text_to_video.py` |
+| Image-to-Video | `examples/offline_inference/image_to_video/image_to_video.py` |
+| Image-to-Image | `examples/offline_inference/image_to_image/image_edit.py` |
+| Text-to-Audio | `examples/offline_inference/text_to_audio/text_to_audio.py` |
+
+Reuse these shared scripts even for custom models when their request and output
+contracts fit. Create a dedicated model script only when the shared category
+cannot represent the protocol, and document that gap in the PR.
+
+**Validation**: No errors, output is meaningful, quality matches reference implementation.
+
+See [references/troubleshooting.md](references/troubleshooting.md) for common errors.
+
+### Step 6: Add Example Scripts
+
+Only when the shared category scripts cannot represent the model, create:
+- `examples/offline_inference/your_model_name/` — offline script + README
+- `examples/online_serving/your_model_name/` — server script + client
+- Download script if weights require assembly from multiple sources
+
+### Step 7: Update Documentation
+
+Follow the [`add-recipe` skill](../add-recipe/SKILL.md) to add or update the
+model-family recipe and its `recipes/README.md` row with verified specifications,
+hardware, commands, feature links, and qualification evidence.
+
+Required updates:
+1. `docs/user_guide/diffusion/parallelism/overview.md` — parallelism support overview/table
+2. `docs/user_guide/diffusion/cpu_offload.md` — if CPU offload supported (add to supported models table)
+3. `docs/user_guide/diffusion/cache_acceleration/teacache.md` — if TeaCache supported
+4. `docs/user_guide/diffusion/cache_acceleration/cache_dit.md` — if Cache-DiT supported
+5. Offline example docs under `examples/offline_inference/<name>/` (`README.md` or category-specific `.md`)
+6. `examples/online_serving/<name>/README.md` — online serving docs
+
+### Step 8: Add E2E Tests
+
+**Follow the [vllm-omni-test skill](../vllm-omni-test/SKILL.md)** for markers, file naming, Buildkite wiring, and run commands. Also read [l4_functionality_tests.inc.md](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/blob/main/docs/contributing/ci/test_examples/l4_functionality_tests.inc.md), [test_system_overview.md](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/blob/main/docs/contributing/ci/test_system_overview.md), and [test_writing_guide.md](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/blob/main/docs/contributing/ci/test_writing_guide.md).
+
+Classify the model's **CI priority** first:
+
+| Priority | Required test levels | Files & markers |
+|----------|---------------------|-----------------|
+| **High** (listed in [#1832](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/issues/1832) or on the diffusion hot path) | **L1** · **L2** online · **L3** online + offline · **L4** feature + performance | See table below |
+| **Medium** (*normal priority* in L4 docs) | **L3** online + offline · **L4** feature only | Fewer L4 parametrized rows |
+| **Low** | **L4** feature only | One or two `*_expansion.py` cases |
+
+**Per-level deliverables (diffusion / `pytest.mark.diffusion`):**
+
+| Level | Location | Marker | CI pipeline | Notes |
+|-------|----------|--------|-------------|-------|
+| **L1** | `tests/diffusion/models/{slug}/`, `tests/diffusion/cache/`, transformer unit tests | `core_model` + `cpu` | `test-ready.yml` | Weight remap, `_sp_plan`, cache enabler registration, shape contracts |
+| **L2** | `tests/e2e/online_serving/test_{slug}.py` (and offline if the category is offline-first) | **`core_model` + `advanced_model`** (both on baseline smoke) + `diffusion` + `@hardware_test` / `hardware_marks` | `test-ready.yml` | Default deploy smoke — minimal `num_inference_steps`, single prompt |
+| **L3** | `tests/e2e/online_serving/test_{slug}.py` **and** `tests/e2e/offline_inference/test_{slug}.py` when offline matters | Baseline smoke: **`core_model` + `advanced_model`**; heavier cases: `advanced_model` only (+ `diffusion`) | `test-merge.yml` **or** merged into nightly diffusion function job | Real weights, streaming/API paths, LoRA/offload smoke |
+| **L4** | `tests/e2e/online_serving/test_{slug}_expansion.py` (+ offline expansion if needed) | `full_model` + `diffusion` | `test-nightly.yml` (X2I / X2V / X2A function groups) | Feature combos per [#1832](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/issues/1832); perf → `tests/dfx/perf/tests/test_{model}_vllm_omni.json` with per-case **`mark`** (`hardware_marks` + `full_model` + `diffusion`) |
+
+**L2 & L3 online — same file, dual marks on the baseline smoke:** The **first / simplest** case in `test_{slug}.py` (default deploy, minimal steps, single prompt) should carry **both** `@pytest.mark.core_model` and `@pytest.mark.advanced_model` on the **same** function so L2 (`test-ready.yml`) and L3 (`test-merge.yml`) share one smoke test. Heavier deploy variants or API paths in the same file use **`advanced_model` only**. When L3 moves to nightly, migrate those heavier cases into `test_{slug}_expansion.py` with `full_model` and remove the dedicated `test-merge.yml` job (see `test_longcat_image_expansion.py`, `test_qwen_image_expansion.py`).
+
+**L4 design (high priority):** Combine multiple supported features (Cache-DiT, TP, USP, CFG, HSDP, CPU offload, quantization) into **few parametrized** `OmniServerParams` rows so each feature appears in at least one case without exploding GPU jobs. Shard single-GPU vs multi-GPU cases across the nightly X2I/X2V function steps (`cards_1` vs `not cards_1`).
+
+**L4 design (medium / low):** One or two parametrized rows covering the best quality/perf trade-off; skip perf JSON unless the model is high priority.
+
+**Reference implementations:** `tests/e2e/online_serving/test_qwen_image_edit_expansion.py`, `tests/e2e/online_serving/test_longcat_image_expansion.py`, `tests/e2e/online_serving/test_hunyuan_video_15_expansion.py`.
+
+**Keep model-specific code inside test modules — not `tests/helpers/{slug}.py`:** deploy constants, prompts, sampling dicts, and inline `request_config` / `form_data` belong in each `test_{slug}.py` and `test_{slug}_expansion.py`. Do not add per-model files under `tests/helpers/`; reuse only repo-wide harness (`mark`, `media`, `runtime`, `stage_config`, `assertions`). **L2+ online/offline e2e:** reuse or add `send_*_request` in `tests/helpers/runtime.py` — tests call the handler, not raw `omni.generate` / HTTP. See [vllm-omni-test skill](../vllm-omni-test/SKILL.md) § **Runtime send helpers**.
+
+Keep the model suite proportional using the six distinct failure owners in the
+native integration checklist. Combine supported features into a few
+parametrized E2E rows instead of creating one test per optimization.
+
+### Step 9: Add Cache-DiT Acceleration
+
+Add caching only after uncached single-device correctness. Read
+[references/cache-dit-patterns.md](references/cache-dit-patterns.md), use the
+automatic single-block-list path when possible, and add a registered
+`BlockAdapter` only for genuinely custom block topology.
+
+Verify a real cache hit and compare quality with the uncached baseline. Make a
+speed claim only at a realistic step count where warmup permits hits; an
+all-warmup smoke proves integration, not acceleration.
+
+---
+
+### Step 10: Add Parallelism Support
+
+After the model works on a single GPU, add multi-GPU parallelism. Add each type incrementally, testing after each addition.
+
+See [references/parallelism-patterns.md](references/parallelism-patterns.md) for detailed code patterns and API reference.
+
+**Recommended order**: TP → SP/USP → CFG Parallel → HSDP
+
+#### 10a. Tensor Parallelism (TP)
+
+Replace compatible projections with vLLM parallel linears, preserve checkpoint
+fusion/loading, and use local head counts. Require query/KV head divisibility
+and compare a multi-rank forward with the one-rank oracle.
+
+#### 10b. Sequence Parallelism (SP / USP)
+
+Prefer the declarative `_sp_plan`. For packed variable-length attention or
+learned-sink LSE correction, keep model math explicit and reuse shared exchange
+utilities. Validate uneven sequence splits, RoPE coordinates, and outputs
+against the one-rank oracle.
+
+#### 10c. CFG Parallel
+
+Confirm the model uses CFG. Then reuse `CFGParallelMixin`, overriding prediction
+or recombination only for non-standard or multi-output pipelines. Distinguish a
+packed positive/negative implementation from two independent branches and
+validate the two-rank result against the packed one-rank oracle.
+
+#### 10d. HSDP (Hybrid Sharded Data Parallel)
+
+Declare layer shard conditions and ignored rank-local modules; preserve mixed
+checkpoint dtypes. HSDP cannot combine with TP. Measure parameter loading,
+FSDP materialization, warm HBM, and host PSS rather than assuming sharding saves
+peak memory. Keep the resident layout as default if HSDP is worse.
+
+#### 10e. Update parallelism documentation
+
+After adding parallelism support, update:
+1. `docs/user_guide/diffusion/parallelism/overview.md` — add your model to the support overview/table
+2. Record which parallelism methods are supported (USP, Ring, CFG, TP, HSDP, VAE-Patch)
+
+### Step 11: Add CPU Offload Support
+
+Implement `SupportsComponentDiscovery` on your pipeline class to enable
+`--enable-cpu-offload` and `--enable-layerwise-offload`. The protocol
+declares which submodules the offloader should manage:
+
+```python
+from typing import ClassVar
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.models.interface import SupportsComponentDiscovery
+
+class YourPipeline(nn.Module, SupportsComponentDiscovery):
+    _dit_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = ["transformer"]
+    _encoder_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = ["text_encoder"]
+    _vae_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = ["vae"]
+    _resident_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = []  # optional
+```
+
+- `_dit_modules`: denoising submodules (kept on GPU during diffusion loop)
+- `_encoder_modules`: encoder/vision submodules (offloaded to CPU during diffusion loop)
+- `_vae_modules`: VAE(s) (handled by both sequential and layerwise backends)
+- `_resident_modules`: additional modules to pin on GPU during layerwise
+  offloading (e.g. embedders, connectors). Only used by the layerwise
+  backend. Optional — defaults to `[]`.
+
+All attribute names support dotted paths for nested submodules
+(e.g. `"pipe.transformer"`, `"bagel.time_embedder"`).
+
+Pipelines without `SupportsComponentDiscovery` fall back to scanning
+well-known attribute names (`transformer`, `text_encoder`, `vae`,
+etc.), which fails for non-standard names.
+
+Keep model-specific checkpoint paths, nested block aliases, layout transforms,
+and component lifecycles in the model package. Change a shared offloader only
+for a general contract, demonstrate another consumer or a framework-level bug,
+and add one focused shared regression. Avoid `if ModelName` branches in shared
+backends.
+
+### Step 12: Performance Profiling
+
+After verifying correctness and implementing parallelism/caching, profile the model's performance to identify bottlenecks and ensure optimal execution.
+
+See the [Profiling Single-Stage Diffusion](../../../docs/contributing/profiling.md#3-profiling-single-stage-diffusion) guide for detailed instructions on:
+1. Using the PyTorch profiler (`profiler: "torch"`) to capture detailed CPU/CUDA traces.
+2. Using Nsight Systems (`nsys`) with `profiler: "cuda"` for low-overhead CUDA traces.
+3. Controlling profiling via `omni.start_profile()` and `omni.stop_profile()`.
+
+Report cold E2E, warm user latency, steady-state wave time, peak allocated and
+reserved HBM, host PSS for the full process tree, and stage boundaries. State
+whether prompt encoding and VAE/audio decoding are included. For multi-device
+layouts, plot user latency against throughput per device and keep different
+denoising-step counts on separate Pareto frontiers.

+shellcheck). In particular:
+
+- SPDX copyright is `vLLM-Omni project` (stale `vLLM project` is rewritten).
+- Use `import regex as re` and `pybase64` in `vllm_omni/`; do not import stdlib
+  `re` or `base64`. Hugging Face Hub downloads go through
+  `vllm.transformers_utils.repo_utils`.
+- Do not add `torch.cuda.*` call sites; use `current_omni_platform`.
+- New `tests/**/test_*.py` files need a CI level mark and a hardware mark.
+- Do not expand `CHECK_IMPORTS[*].allowed_files` or `ALLOWED_FILES` without review.
+- GitHub Actions skips SPDX/shellcheck/mypy-3.10/test-marks/markdownlint; run
+  `pre-commit` locally.
+
+## Iterative Development Tips
+
+1. **Start minimal**: Basic generation first, no parallelism/caching
+2. **Use `--enforce-eager`**: Disable torch.compile during debugging
+3. **Use small models**: Test with smaller variants first
+4. **Check tensor shapes**: Most errors are reshape mismatches in attention
+5. **Add features incrementally**: Single GPU → TP → SP → CFG → HSDP → Cache-DiT
+6. **For custom models**: Run the pinned reference separately, then port the runtime natively; do not ship temporary imports from the reference implementation
+7. **Cache-DiT before parallelism tuning**: Cache-DiT is lossy — verify quality at baseline before combining with parallelism
+8. **Combine lossless + lossy**: e.g., TP + SP + Cache-DiT for maximum throughput

+# Cache-DiT Patterns Reference
+
+## Overview
+
+Cache-DiT accelerates Diffusion Transformers by caching intermediate computation results across denoising steps. Adjacent steps produce similar features, so redundant computations can be skipped.
+
+Three caching strategies:
+- **DBCache**: Dynamic block-level caching — selectively computes or caches transformer blocks based on residual differences
+- **TaylorSeer**: Calibration-based prediction using Taylor expansion to estimate block outputs
+- **SCM** (Step Computation Masking): Dynamic step skipping based on configurable policies
+
+Speedup is model-, step-, and policy-dependent. Treat a cache-enabled run as
+integration evidence until logs or a focused test show real hits and repeated
+timings show an improvement over the uncached baseline.
+
+**Official docs**: https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/design/feature/cache_dit
+
+## Architecture
+
+vLLM-Omni integrates cache-dit through `CacheDiTBackend`:
+
+| Component | Purpose |
+|-----------|---------|
+| `CacheDiTBackend` | Unified backend — auto-selects enabler (standard or custom) |
+| `enable_cache_for_dit()` | Default enabler for standard single-transformer models |
+| `CUSTOM_DIT_ENABLERS` dict | Registry of custom enablers keyed by pipeline class name |
+| `BlockAdapter` | Wraps complex architectures (multi-block-list or multi-transformer) |
+| `ForwardPattern` | Specifies block forward signature: `Pattern_0`, `Pattern_1`, `Pattern_2` |
+| `ParamsModifier` | Per-transformer or per-block-list config customization |
+| `DBCacheConfig` | Configuration for DBCache parameters |
+| `cache_dit.refresh_context()` | Updates cache context when `num_inference_steps` changes |
+
+**Source files**:
+- `vllm_omni/diffusion/cache/cachedit/__init__.py` — public package API
+- `vllm_omni/diffusion/cache/cachedit/backend.py` — generic backend lifecycle and integration
+- `vllm_omni/diffusion/cache/cachedit/config.py` — Cache-DiT configuration types
+- `vllm_omni/diffusion/cache/cachedit/model_specific.py` — model-specific adapters, enablers, and registry
+
+Outside `vllm_omni/diffusion/cache`, import Cache-DiT symbols only from
+`vllm_omni.diffusion.cache.cachedit`.
+
+## Standard Models: Automatic Support
+
+Most DiT models follow this pattern:
+- Single transformer with one `nn.ModuleList` of blocks
+- Standard forward signature
+- Compatible with cache-dit's automatic detection
+
+**Examples**: Qwen-Image, Z-Image, FLUX
+
+No code changes needed. `CacheDiTBackend` automatically uses `enable_cache_for_dit()`:
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni import Omni
+
+omni = Omni(
+    model="Qwen/Qwen-Image",
+    cache_backend="cache_dit",
+    cache_config={
+        "Fn_compute_blocks": 1,
+        "Bn_compute_blocks": 0,
+        "max_warmup_steps": 4,
+    }
+)
+```
+
+What happens automatically:
+
+```python
+def enable_cache_for_dit(pipeline, cache_config):
+    db_cache_config = DBCacheConfig(
+        num_inference_steps=None,
+        Fn_compute_blocks=cache_config.Fn_compute_blocks,
+        Bn_compute_blocks=cache_config.Bn_compute_blocks,
+        max_warmup_steps=cache_config.max_warmup_steps,
+        max_cached_steps=cache_config.max_cached_steps,
+        max_continuous_cached_steps=cache_config.max_continuous_cached_steps,
+        residual_diff_threshold=cache_config.residual_diff_threshold,
+    )
+
+    cache_dit.enable_cache(pipeline.transformer, cache_config=db_cache_config)
+
+    def refresh_cache_context(pipeline, num_inference_steps, verbose=True):
+        cache_dit.refresh_context(
+            pipeline.transformer, num_inference_steps=num_inference_steps, verbose=verbose
+        )
+    return refresh_cache_context
+```
+
+## Custom Architectures: Writing Custom Enablers
+
+### When you need a custom enabler
+
+- Model has multiple block lists in one transformer (e.g., `transformer_blocks` + `single_transformer_blocks`)
+- Model has two transformers (e.g., high-noise + low-noise like Wan2.2)
+- Model uses non-standard block forward signature
+
+### Pattern 1: Multi-Block-List (LongCat-Image style)
+
+Single transformer with two block lists:
+
+```python
+import cache_dit
+from cache_dit import BlockAdapter, ForwardPattern, ParamsModifier, DBCacheConfig
+
+def enable_cache_for_your_model(pipeline, cache_config):
+    db_cache_config = DBCacheConfig(
+        num_inference_steps=None,
+        Fn_compute_blocks=cache_config.Fn_compute_blocks,
+        Bn_compute_blocks=cache_config.Bn_compute_blocks,
+        max_warmup_steps=cache_config.max_warmup_steps,
+        max_cached_steps=cache_config.max_cached_steps,
+        max_continuous_cached_steps=cache_config.max_continuous_cached_steps,
+        residual_diff_threshold=cache_config.residual_diff_threshold,
+    )
+
+    cache_dit.enable_cache(
+        BlockAdapter(
+            transformer=pipeline.transformer,
+            blocks=[
+                pipeline.transformer.transformer_blocks,
+                pipeline.transformer.single_transformer_blocks,
+            ],
+            forward_pattern=[ForwardPattern.Pattern_1, ForwardPattern.Pattern_1],
+            params_modifiers=[ParamsModifier(...)],
+        ),
+        cache_config=db_cache_config,
+    )
+
+    def refresh_cache_context(pipeline, num_inference_steps, verbose=True):
+        cache_dit.refresh_context(
+            pipeline.transformer, num_inference_steps=num_inference_steps, verbose=verbose
+        )
+    return refresh_cache_context
+```
+
+For single transformer with multiple block lists, `refresh_context` works the same as standard models — call it once on the transformer.
+
+### Pattern 2: Dual-Transformer (Wan2.2 style)
+
+Two transformers with separate configs:
+
+```python
+def enable_cache_for_dual_transformer(pipeline, cache_config):
+    db_cache_config = DBCacheConfig(...)
+
+    cache_dit.enable_cache(
+        BlockAdapter(
+            transformer=[pipeline.transformer, pipeline.transformer_2],
+            blocks=[pipeline.transformer.blocks, pipeline.transformer_2.blocks],
+            forward_pattern=[ForwardPattern.Pattern_2, ForwardPattern.Pattern_2],
+            params_modifiers=[
+                ParamsModifier(...),  # Config for transformer 1
+                ParamsModifier(...),  # Config for transformer 2
+            ],
+        ),
+        cache_config=db_cache_config,
+    )
+
+    def refresh_cache_context(pipeline, num_inference_steps, verbose=True):
+        high_steps, low_steps = _split_inference_steps(num_inference_steps)
+        cache_dit.refresh_context(
+            pipeline.transformer, num_inference_steps=high_steps, verbose=verbose
+        )
+        cache_dit.refresh_context(
+            pipeline.transformer_2, num_inference_steps=low_steps, verbose=verbose
+        )
+    return refresh_cache_context
+```
+
+Key difference: `refresh_context` must be called on **each transformer separately** with its own step count.
+
+### Choosing the ForwardPattern
+
+| Pattern | Block forward signature | Example models |
+|---------|------------------------|----------------|
+| `Pattern_0` | `block(hidden_states, **kwargs)` → residual added inside block | Default |
+| `Pattern_1` | `block(hidden_states, **kwargs)` → returns `(hidden_states, ...)` tuple | FLUX-style single blocks |
+| `Pattern_2` | `block(hidden_states, **kwargs)` → `(hidden_states, ...)` with different residual pattern | Wan2.2 blocks |
+
+Inspect your block's `forward()` return type and residual connection pattern to choose the right one. See [Cache-DiT API Reference](https://cache-dit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/CACHE_API/) for details.
+
+## Registering Custom Enablers
+
+Add your enabler to `CUSTOM_DIT_ENABLERS` in
+`vllm_omni/diffusion/cache/cachedit/model_specific.py`:
+
+```python
+CUSTOM_DIT_ENABLERS = {
+    "Wan22Pipeline": enable_cache_for_wan22,
+    "LongCatImagePipeline": enable_cache_for_longcat_image,
+    "YourModelPipeline": enable_cache_for_your_model,
+}
+```
+
+The key must match `pipeline.__class__.__name__`.
+
+## Configuration Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Default | Description |
+|-----------|---------|-------------|
+| `Fn_compute_blocks` | 1 | Number of blocks to always compute at the front |
+| `Bn_compute_blocks` | 0 | Number of blocks to always compute at the back |
+| `max_warmup_steps` | 4 | Steps to run without caching at the beginning |
+| `max_cached_steps` | — | Max total cached steps |
+| `max_continuous_cached_steps` | — | Max consecutive cached steps |
+| `residual_diff_threshold` | 0.24 | Threshold for deciding whether to cache a block |
+
+### Tuning for quality vs speed
+
+| Goal | Adjustments |
+|------|-------------|
+| **More speed, acceptable quality loss** | Higher `residual_diff_threshold` (0.24-0.4), lower `max_warmup_steps` (2-4) |
+| **Better quality, less speed** | Lower `residual_diff_threshold` (0.12-0.18), higher `max_warmup_steps` (6-8), lower `max_continuous_cached_steps` (2) |
+
+## Testing
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni import Omni
+from vllm_omni.inputs.data import OmniDiffusionSamplingParams
+
+omni = Omni(
+    model="your-model-name",
+    cache_backend="cache_dit",
+    cache_config={
+        "Fn_compute_blocks": 1,
+        "Bn_compute_blocks": 0,
+        "max_warmup_steps": 4,
+        "residual_diff_threshold": 0.24,
+    }
+)
+images = omni.generate(
+    "a beautiful landscape",
+    OmniDiffusionSamplingParams(num_inference_steps=50),
+)
+```
+
+CLI (online serving):
+
+```bash
+vllm serve your-model --omni --port 8098 \
+  --cache-backend cache_dit \
+  --cache-config '{"Fn_compute_blocks": 1, "Bn_compute_blocks": 0, "max_warmup_steps": 4}'
+```
+
+**Verification checklist**:
+1. Logs show "Cache-dit enabled successfully on xxx"
+2. A focused test or summary confirms at least one real cache hit
+3. Quality is compared with `cache_backend=None`
+4. Performance uses a realistic step count, repeated timings, and a policy
+   whose warmup does not consume the whole run
+
+## Excluded Models
+
+Models listed in `_NO_CACHE_ACCELERATION` in `vllm_omni/diffusion/registry.py` do not support cache-dit (e.g., `NextStep11Pipeline`, `StableDiffusionPipeline`). Check this set before attempting to enable cache-dit.
+
+## Reference Implementations
+
+| Model | Path | Notes |
+|-------|------|-------|
+| Standard DiT | `cachedit.backend::enable_cache_for_dit` | Default enabler, automatic |
+| Wan2.2 | `cachedit.model_specific::enable_cache_for_wan22` | Dual-transformer, auto-detects mode |
+| LongCat | `cachedit.config::CacheDiTAdapterConfig` | Declarative multi-block-list adapter |
+| BAGEL | `cachedit.model_specific::BagelCachedAdapter` | Custom cached adapter |

+# Custom Model Patterns Reference
+
+Patterns for adding models that don't come from the standard diffusers pipeline format.
+
+## Directory Structure Comparison
+
+### Diffusers-based model (e.g., Wan2.2)
+
+```
+vllm_omni/diffusion/models/wan2_2/
+├── __init__.py                    # Exports pipeline + transformer + helpers
+├── pipeline_wan2_2.py             # Pipeline: loads components via from_pretrained()
+├── pipeline_wan2_2_i2v.py         # Variant pipeline for image-to-video
+└── wan2_2_transformer.py          # Transformer: ported from diffusers, uses Attention layer
+```
+
+The transformer is loaded separately via `weights_sources` + `load_weights()`. Non-transformer components (VAE, text encoder) are loaded in `__init__` via `from_pretrained()`.
+
+### External adapter (not native support)
+
+```
+vllm_omni/diffusion/models/<name>/
+├── __init__.py                    # Exports pipeline only
+├── pipeline_<name>.py             # Pipeline: loads ALL weights in __init__ via custom helpers
+└── <backbone>.py                  # Custom transformer / fusion architecture
+
+examples/offline_inference/<task>/
+└── download_<name>.py             # Downloads weights and/or clones code repo
+```
+
+All weights are loaded eagerly in `__init__`. `load_weights()` is a no-op. The
+external dependency is imported with try/except. Use this pattern only when the
+requested scope explicitly allows an adapter; it does not satisfy a request for
+a native vLLM-Omni implementation.
+
+### Custom model with ported code (e.g., BAGEL)
+
+```
+vllm_omni/diffusion/models/bagel/
+├── __init__.py
+├── pipeline_bagel.py              # Pipeline: instantiates models, uses weights_sources
+├── bagel_transformer.py           # Full LLM backbone (Qwen2-MoT) ported into vllm-omni
+└── autoencoder.py                 # Custom VAE ported from original repo
+```
+
+Model code is fully ported (no external dependency). Uses `weights_sources` and `load_weights()` with custom name remapping to handle non-diffusers safetensors format.
+
+## Weight Loading Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Standard diffusers flow (Wan2.2, Z-Image, FLUX)
+
+```
+init → create transformer (empty) → set weights_sources → [loader calls load_weights()]
+```
+
+- `weights_sources` points to safetensors in HF subfolder (e.g., `transformer/`)
+- `load_weights()` receives `(name, tensor)` pairs from the loader
+- Name remapping handles diffusers→vllm-omni differences (QKV fusion, Sequential index removal)
+
+### Pattern 2: Custom safetensors at root (BAGEL)
+
+```
+init → create all models (empty) → set weights_sources(subfolder=None) → [loader calls load_weights()]
+```
+
+- `weights_sources` points to **root** of model directory, not a subfolder
+- Weights have non-diffusers names (e.g., `bagel.language_model.model.layers.0.self_attn.q_proj.weight`)
+- `load_weights()` does heavy name normalization
+
+```python
+self.weights_sources = [
+    DiffusersPipelineLoader.ComponentSource(
+        model_or_path=od_config.model,
+        subfolder=None,      # root directory
+        prefix="",           # no prefix stripping
+        fall_back_to_pt=False,
+    )
+]
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Fully custom loading
+
+```
+init → load ALL weights eagerly via custom helpers → load_weights() = no-op
+```
+
+- No `weights_sources` attribute — standard loader finds nothing to iterate
+- Custom init functions (e.g., `init_wan_vae_2_2()`, `load_fusion_checkpoint()`) handle downloading and loading
+- `load_weights()` is `pass`
+- Weights may come from multiple HF repos in different formats (`.pth`, `.safetensors`)
+
+Use this only for an explicitly approved external adapter when:
+- The original model has complex, well-tested loading code you don't want to rewrite
+- Weights span multiple HF repos
+- Weight format is non-standard (e.g., a single `.pth` file, not sharded safetensors)
+
+## model_index.json for Custom Models
+
+Standard diffusers `model_index.json`:
+```json
+{
+    "_class_name": "WanPipeline",
+    "_diffusers_version": "0.35.0.dev0",
+    "scheduler": ["diffusers", "UniPCMultistepScheduler"],
+    "transformer": ["diffusers", "WanTransformer3DModel"],
+    "vae": ["diffusers", "AutoencoderKLWan"]
+}
+```
+
+Custom model `model_index.json` (minimal):
+```json
+{
+    "_class_name": "YourCustomPipeline",
+    "fusion": "weights/model.safetensors"
+}
+```
+
+The only **required** field is `_class_name` — it must match a key in
+`_DIFFUSION_MODELS` in `registry.py`. Other fields are model-specific and
+accessible via `od_config.model_config`.
+
+When the released repository cannot be modified and contains neither this file
+nor a root `config.json`, use the generic native-checkpoint signature resolver.
+Match the exact Hub ID or a distinctive local file set; never infer support from
+a model-name substring.
+
+## External Dependency Management
+
+### Git clone + .pth injection
+
+```python
+def download_dependency():
+    CACHE_DIR.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
+    with open(LOCK_FILE, "w") as f:
+        fcntl.flock(f, fcntl.LOCK_EX)
+        if not DEPENDENCY_DIR.exists():
+            subprocess.run([
+                "git", "clone", "--depth", "1",
+                REPO_URL, "--branch", BRANCH,
+                str(DEPENDENCY_DIR)
+            ], check=True)
+        fcntl.flock(f, fcntl.LOCK_UN)
+
+    # Add to Python path via .pth file
+    site_packages = Path(site.getsitepackages()[0])
+    pth_file = site_packages / "vllm_omni_dependency.pth"
+    pth_file.write_text(str(DEPENDENCY_DIR))
+```
+
+### Direct port (BAGEL pattern)
+
+Copy essential files from the original repo into `vllm_omni/diffusion/models/<name>/`. Adapt imports to use vllm-omni utilities. Benefits: no external dependency, no git clone step. Drawback: must maintain the ported code.
+
+This is the default for native model support. Keep the reference repository at
+a pinned revision for architecture analysis and golden outputs, but do not
+import it from production code.
+
+## Multi-Modal Input/Output Protocols
+
+Custom models that handle images, audio, or video I/O should implement protocol classes:
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.models.interface import (
+    SupportImageInput,    # Model accepts image input
+    SupportAudioInput,    # Model accepts audio input
+    SupportAudioOutput,   # Model produces audio output
+)
+
+class MyPipeline(nn.Module, SupportImageInput, SupportAudioInput, SupportAudioOutput):
+    pass  # Protocol markers enable proper engine routing
+```
+
+The engine checks `isinstance(pipeline, SupportImageInput)` at startup to configure input validation and warmup behavior.
+
+## Hardcoded Config vs Config Files
+
+Diffusers models use `config.json` in each subfolder. Custom models often use:
+
+**Module-level config dicts**:
+```python
+VIDEO_CONFIG = {
+    "patch_size": [1, 2, 2], "model_type": "ti2v",
+    "dim": 3072, "ffn_dim": 14336, "num_heads": 24, "num_layers": 30, ...
+}
+```
+
+**Loaded from custom JSON** (BAGEL):
+```python
+cfg_path = os.path.join(model_path, "config.json")
+with open(cfg_path) as f:
+    bagel_cfg = json.load(f)
+vae_cfg = bagel_cfg.get("vae_config", {})
+```
+
+## Custom Architecture Patterns
+
+### Split forward API
+
+When a fusion model needs to interleave blocks from two backbones:
+
+```python
+class WanModel(nn.Module):
+    def prepare_transformer_block_kwargs(self, x, t, context, ...):
+        # Patch embed, time embed, text embed, RoPE
+        return x, e, kwargs
+
+    def post_transformer_block_out(self, x, grid_sizes, e):
+        # Output projection, unpatchify
+        return output
+
+    def forward(self, *args, **kwargs):
+        raise NotImplementedError  # Fusion model handles block iteration
+```
+
+The `FusionModel` then iterates blocks in lock-step:
+```python
+for video_block, audio_block in zip(self.video_model.blocks, self.audio_model.blocks):
+    video_out = video_block(video_hidden, ...)
+    audio_out = audio_block(audio_hidden, ...)
+    # Cross-attend between modalities
+    video_out = cross_attention(video_out, audio_out)
+    audio_out = cross_attention(audio_out, video_out)
+```
+
+### LLM-as-denoiser (BAGEL)
+
+When the backbone is a language model that also does diffusion:
+
+```python
+class BagelModel(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self):
+        self.language_model = Qwen2MoTForCausalLM(config)
+        self.vit_model = SiglipVisionModel(vit_config)
+```
+
+The LLM processes both text tokens and latent image tokens in a single forward pass, using KV caching for the text portion.
+
+## Pre/Post Processing for Custom Models
+
+Custom models typically handle pre/post processing **inside `forward()`** rather than via registered functions, because the logic is tightly coupled:
+
+```python
+def forward(self, req: OmniDiffusionRequest) -> DiffusionOutput:
+    # Inline preprocessing
+    image = self._load_and_resize_image(req.prompts[0].get("multi_modal_data", {}).get("image"))
+    image_latent = self._vae_encode(image)
+
+    # ... denoising loop ...
+
+    # Inline postprocessing
+    pil_image = self._decode_to_pil(latents)
+    return DiffusionOutput(output=[pil_image])
+```
+
+If pre/post functions are not registered in `_DIFFUSION_PRE_PROCESS_FUNCS` / `_DIFFUSION_POST_PROCESS_FUNCS`, the engine simply skips those steps.
+
+## Download Script Template
+
+```python
+# examples/offline_inference/<name>/download_<name>.py
+from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
+import json, os
+
+def main(output_dir):
+    # Download model weights from HF

+# Native Diffusion Model Integration Checklist
+
+Use this checklist for native non-Diffusers models, hybrid pipelines, and
+model-specific optimization work.
+
+## 1. Freeze the contract before coding
+
+Record:
+
+- Reference repository and immutable revision.
+- Official checkpoint ID, local layout, license, and required auxiliary files.
+- Pipeline stages: prompt/image encoding, denoising, video/image/audio decoding,
+  and muxing.
+- Token packing, RoPE coordinates, attention sinks/LSE behavior, MoE layout,
+  scheduler equations, CFG formulation, dtypes, and checkpoint transforms.
+- Output geometry, frame count/FPS, audio rate/channels, supported tasks, and
+  default generation steps.
+- Available local hardware versus the official qualification hardware.
+- Intended default deployment and optional optimization paths.
+
+State whether the deliverable is a native implementation or an external
+adapter. For native support, use the reference as an oracle only.
+
+## 2. Use phase gates
+
+| Phase | Required exit evidence |
+|---|---|
+| Architecture | Component/weight inventory; unsupported reference dependencies identified; ownership decisions documented |
+| Native correctness | Strict checkpoint load; tiny forward or one-step golden vs pinned reference; output contract validated |
+| Framework integration | Registry/discovery, shared request types, existing category example, serving route, docs, and recipe work without model-name branching in shared scripts |
+| Lossless distribution | One-rank oracle vs each supported TP/SP/CFG/HSDP/VAE layout; released-checkpoint smoke for the recommended layout |
+| Memory optimization | Ordinary/layerwise/DLO behavior, peak HBM, full-tree host PSS, and stage timeline; shared backend unchanged unless a general contract is proven |
+| Lossy optimization | Cache hit demonstrated; quality delta measured; speed claim made only when warmup permits hits |
+| Full qualification | Default-resolution E2E at official step count for every supported task; media metadata and hashes recorded |
+| Review readiness | Focused tests, Ruff/format, strict docs, DCO, current-main rebase, issue/RFC for large changes, concise PR evidence and limitations |
+
+Do not start performance tuning before native one-step parity. Do not claim a
+feature from topology validation alone when released weights can exercise it.
+
+## 3. Keep ownership narrow
+
+Default placement:
+
+| Concern | Owner |
+|---|---|
+| Architecture, checkpoint remap, packed attention math, nested block alias, auxiliary lifecycle | Model package |
+| Kernel/version dispatch already useful to multiple models | Shared attention utility |
+| Request-dependent example defaults | Typed model-extra entry consumed through a registry |
+| Exact-ID/local-file detection for repositories without standard metadata | Generic native-checkpoint signature table |
+| General offload/cache/HSDP bug | Shared layer plus one focused shared regression |
+
+Before changing shared code, answer:
+
+1. Is this a framework contract or only this checkpoint's layout?
+2. Can the model expose an existing declarative hook instead?
+3. Is there a second consumer or a framework-level failing test?
+4. Can the shared change avoid importing or naming the model?
+
+If the answers do not justify a shared change, keep it model-local.
+
+## 4. Reuse examples without leaking model logic
+
+- Reuse the existing `x_to_y.py` category script.
+- Resolve the pipeline class through standard metadata or native signature
+  discovery, not path substrings.
+- Put dynamic model defaults and validation in `model_extras`; let shared
+  examples consume only the generic typed API.
+- Do not create image/speech/default abstractions without a real consumer.
+- Add a dedicated example only when the shared request/output protocol cannot
+  express the model.
+
+## 5. Build a bounded evidence matrix
+
+Start with the recommended resident layout. Add only supported, useful points:
+
+- Single request: TP, SP, or hybrid TP/SP.
+- Throughput: DLO/DP layouts when concurrent requests are valid.
+- CFG: compare CFG-parallel output with the packed-CFG oracle only if the model
+  actually uses CFG.
+- HSDP: record loading and materialization peaks; it can use more HBM than a
+  resident SP layout.
+- VAE patch parallelism: compare decoded tensors or media exactly where the
+  algorithm should be lossless.
+- Cache: separate cache integration from acceleration evidence.
+
+With four devices, qualify four-device layouts such as DP4, DP2SP2, SP4, or
+CFG2xSP2. Do not present CFG2xSP4 or an official eight-device runtime as locally
+validated.
+
+For each measured layout record:
+
+- Cold E2E and warm user latency.
+- Steady-state wave time and throughput per device.
+- Prompt, denoise, video decode, audio decode, and mux times.
+- Peak allocated/reserved HBM and full-process-tree host PSS.
+- Step count, seed, output geometry, frame/FPS/audio metadata, and parity metric.
+
+Plot latency versus throughput/device. Keep one-step, four-step, and full-step
+results separate because they are not quality-equivalent.
+
+## 6. Keep tests proportional
+
+Prefer a small set with distinct failure ownership:
+
+1. Strict weight-key/dtype/load contract.
+2. Tiny native golden or one-step reference parity.
+3. One parametrized distributed-parity test covering supported layouts.
+4. Pipeline/request/output geometry and serving smoke.
+5. Shared-example/default test when the category script changes.
+6. One shared regression only for a genuine shared-layer fix.
+
+Avoid duplicating the same shape or configuration assertion across
+model-specific files. Keep expensive released-checkpoint evidence in the PR or
+recipe unless the repository's CI tier explicitly requires it.
+
+## 7. Write evidence, not marketing
+
+In the PR description include:
+
+- A compact architecture/data-flow explanation.
+- Default deployment and why it is recommended.
+- Code-change counts by component.
+- Accuracy and distributed-parity evidence tied to commands/scripts.
+- Separate Pareto figures for different step counts.
+- Supported versus validated versus planned optimizations.
+- Hardware gaps and untested official-runtime claims.
+
+Call a result a bounded local qualification unless it includes repeated timing
+and variance. State whether latency includes text/image encoding and all
+decoders. Preserve the reference revision and exact commands needed to
+reproduce the evidence.

+
+## Overview
+
+vLLM-Omni supports multiple parallelism strategies for diffusion models. Each targets a different bottleneck:
+
+| Strategy | Splits | Best For | Constraint |
+|----------|--------|----------|------------|
+| Tensor Parallel (TP) | Model layers across GPUs | Latency reduction, large models | Requires fast GPU interconnect, `num_heads % tp == 0` |
+| Sequence Parallel (SP/USP) | Sequence tokens across GPUs | Long sequences (video, high-res) | Near-linear scaling |
+| CFG Parallel | Positive/negative CFG branches | Models using classifier-free guidance | Exactly 2 GPUs |
+| HSDP | Weight shards via FSDP2 | VRAM reduction | Cannot combine with TP |
+| VAE Patch Parallel | VAE decode spatial tiles | Large VAE outputs | Auto-enables tiling |
+
+**Recommended integration order**: TP → SP → CFG Parallel → HSDP

+
+## Tensor Parallelism (TP)
+
+Replace standard `nn.Linear` with vLLM's parallel linear layers. This is the most invasive change but provides direct VRAM savings and compute speedup.
+
+### Layer replacement rules
+
+| Pattern | vLLM Layer | When to Use |
+|---------|-----------|-------------|
+| Fan-out (first in FFN) | `ColumnParallelLinear` | Projection that splits output across ranks |
+| Fan-in (second in FFN) | `RowParallelLinear` | Projection that gathers across ranks |
+| QKV projection | `QKVParallelLinear` | Fused Q/K/V for self-attention |
+| Single Q or K or V | `ColumnParallelLinear` | Separate projections (cross-attention) |
+| Attention output | `RowParallelLinear` | Output projection after attention |
+| Must not shard | `ReplicatedLinear` | Layers that must stay replicated |
+
+### MLP Block (Up-Down Pattern)
+
+```python
+from vllm.model_executor.layers.linear import (
+    ColumnParallelLinear, RowParallelLinear,
+)
+
+class TPFeedForward(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, dim, ffn_dim):
+        super().__init__()
+        self.fc1 = ColumnParallelLinear(dim, ffn_dim, bias=False, return_bias=False)
+        self.fc2 = RowParallelLinear(
+            ffn_dim, dim, bias=False,
+            input_is_parallel=True,  # Input already sharded from fc1
+            return_bias=False,
+        )
+
+    def forward(self, x):
+        x, _ = self.fc1(x)
+        x = torch.nn.functional.gelu(x)
+        x, _ = self.fc2(x)
+        return x
+```
+
+### Attention Block (QKV-Out Pattern)
+
+```python
+from vllm.model_executor.layers.linear import QKVParallelLinear, RowParallelLinear
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.attention.layer import Attention
+
+class TPSelfAttention(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, dim, num_heads, num_kv_heads=None):
+        super().__init__()
+        num_kv_heads = num_kv_heads or num_heads
+        self.head_dim = dim // num_heads
+
+        self.to_qkv = QKVParallelLinear(
+            hidden_size=dim,
+            head_size=self.head_dim,
+            total_num_heads=num_heads,
+            total_num_kv_heads=num_kv_heads,
+            bias=False,
+            return_bias=False,
+        )
+        self.to_out = RowParallelLinear(
+            dim, dim, bias=False,
+            input_is_parallel=True,
+            return_bias=False,
+        )
+        self.attn = Attention(
+            num_heads=self.to_qkv.num_heads,      # Local heads per GPU
+            head_size=self.head_dim,
+            softmax_scale=1.0 / (self.head_dim ** 0.5),
+            causal=False,
+            num_kv_heads=self.to_qkv.num_kv_heads,  # Local KV heads per GPU
+            role="self",
+        )
+
+    def forward(self, x):
+        qkv, _ = self.to_qkv(x)
+        q, k, v = qkv.split(
+            [self.to_qkv.num_heads * self.head_dim,
+             self.to_qkv.num_kv_heads * self.head_dim,
+             self.to_qkv.num_kv_heads * self.head_dim],
+            dim=-1,
+        )
+        B, S, _ = x.shape
+        q = q.view(B, S, self.to_qkv.num_heads, self.head_dim)
+        k = k.view(B, S, self.to_qkv.num_kv_heads, self.head_dim)
+        v = v.view(B, S, self.to_qkv.num_kv_heads, self.head_dim)
+        out = self.attn(q, k, v)
+        out = out.reshape(B, S, -1)
+        out, _ = self.to_out(out)
+        return out
+```
+
+### QKV Fusion in load_weights
+
+When you fuse separate Q/K/V into `QKVParallelLinear`, map diffusers' separate weight names:
+
+```python
+stacked_params_mapping = [
+    ("to_qkv", "to_q", "q"),
+    ("to_qkv", "to_k", "k"),
+    ("to_qkv", "to_v", "v"),
+]
+
+def load_weights(self, weights):
+    params = dict(self.named_parameters())
+    loaded = set()
+    for name, tensor in weights:
+        for fused_name, orig_name, shard_id in stacked_params_mapping:
+            if orig_name in name:
+                name = name.replace(orig_name, fused_name)
+                param = params[name]
+                param.weight_loader(param, tensor, shard_id)
+                loaded.add(name)
+                break
+        else:
+            if name in params:
+                param = params[name]
+                if hasattr(param, "weight_loader"):
+                    param.weight_loader(param, tensor)
+                else:
+                    default_weight_loader(param, tensor)
+                loaded.add(name)
+    return loaded
+```
+
+### RMSNorm with TP
+
+When RMSNorm sits between TP-sharded dimensions, use `DistributedRMSNorm` — it computes global RMS via all-reduce across TP ranks. See the Wan2.2 implementation for the pattern.
+
+### TP Constraints
+
+- `num_heads % tp_size == 0`
+- `num_kv_heads % tp_size == 0`
+- Use `self.to_qkv.num_heads` (local per-GPU count), not total heads, for split sizes
+
+### Testing TP
+
+```bash
+python text_to_image.py --model Your-org/your-model \
+  --tensor-parallel-size 2 --output "tp_test.png"
+```
+
+**Verify**: speedup, memory reduction proportional to TP size, quality matches single-GPU.

+## Sequence Parallelism (SP / USP)
+
+SP splits sequence tokens across GPUs using Ulysses (all-to-all) or Ring (P2P) communication. It is applied non-intrusively via the `_sp_plan` dict — no changes to `forward()` logic.
+
+### Approach 1: Non-Intrusive `_sp_plan` (Recommended)
+
+The framework automatically registers hooks to shard inputs and gather outputs at `nn.Module` boundaries.
+
+#### Step 1: Identify module boundaries
+
+Find where tensors need sharding/gathering:
+
+```python
+class MyTransformer(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self):
+        self.patch_embed = PatchEmbed()    # Before blocks
+        self.pos_embed = RoPE()            # RoPE may need splitting
+        self.blocks = nn.ModuleList([...]) # Blocks process sharded x
+        self.norm_out = LayerNorm()
+        self.proj_out = Linear()           # Gather after this
+
+    def forward(self, x):
+        x = self.patch_embed(x)
+        pos = self.pos_embed(x)
+        for block in self.blocks:
+            x = block(x, pos)
+        x = self.norm_out(x)
+        return self.proj_out(x)
+```
+
+#### Step 2: Handle inline operations
+
+`_sp_plan` hooks only work at `nn.Module` boundaries. Inline ops like `torch.cat()` must be extracted into submodules:
+
+```python
+# BAD: Inline — hooks can't intercept
+unified = torch.cat([x, cap_feats], dim=1)
+
+# GOOD: Extract into submodule
+class UnifiedPrepare(nn.Module):
+    def forward(self, x, cap_feats):
+        return torch.cat([x, cap_feats], dim=1)
+
+self.unified_prepare = UnifiedPrepare()
+unified = self.unified_prepare(x, cap_feats)
+```
+
+Common cases: `torch.cat()`, `pad_sequence()`, `tensor.reshape()`, complex preprocessing.
+
+#### Step 3: Write `_sp_plan`
+
+**Pattern 1: Shard at first block, gather at output** (most common)
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.distributed.sp_plan import (
+    SequenceParallelInput, SequenceParallelOutput,
+)
+
+class StandardTransformer(nn.Module):
+    _sp_plan = {
+        "blocks.0": {
+            "hidden_states": SequenceParallelInput(split_dim=1, expected_dims=3),
+        },
+        "proj_out": SequenceParallelOutput(gather_dim=1, expected_dims=3),
+    }
+```
+
+**Pattern 2: Shard RoPE outputs separately**
+
+```python
+class TransformerWithRoPE(nn.Module):
+    _sp_plan = {
+        "rope": {
+            0: SequenceParallelInput(split_dim=1, expected_dims=4, split_output=True),
+            1: SequenceParallelInput(split_dim=1, expected_dims=4, split_output=True),
+        },
+        "blocks.0": {
+            "hidden_states": SequenceParallelInput(split_dim=1, expected_dims=3),
+        },
+        "proj_out": SequenceParallelOutput(gather_dim=1, expected_dims=3),
+    }
+```
+
+**Pattern 3: Dual-stream (shard image, replicate text)**
+
+```python
+class DualStreamTransformer(nn.Module):
+    _sp_plan = {
+        "rope_preparer": {
+            2: SequenceParallelInput(split_dim=0, expected_dims=2, split_output=True),
+            3: SequenceParallelInput(split_dim=0, expected_dims=2, split_output=True),
+        },
+        "transformer_blocks.0": {
+            "hidden_states": SequenceParallelInput(split_dim=1, expected_dims=3),
+        },
+        "proj_out": SequenceParallelOutput(gather_dim=1, expected_dims=3),
+    }
+```
+
+### API Reference
+
+**SequenceParallelInput**:
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+|-----------|------|-------------|
+| `split_dim` | int | Dimension to split (usually 1 for sequence) |
+| `expected_dims` | int/None | Expected tensor rank for validation |
+| `split_output` | bool | `False`: shard input params; `True`: shard output tensors |
+| `auto_pad` | bool | Auto-pad if sequence not divisible by world_size |
+
+**SequenceParallelOutput**:
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+|-----------|------|-------------|
+| `gather_dim` | int | Dimension to gather (usually 1 for sequence) |
+| `expected_dims` | int/None | Expected tensor rank for validation |
+
+**Module naming**:
+
+| Key | Meaning |
+|-----|---------|
+| `"blocks.0"` | First element of ModuleList |
+| `"blocks.*"` | All elements of ModuleList |
+| `"rope"` | Named submodule |
+
+**Dictionary value types**:
+
+| Key type | split_output | Description |
+|----------|-------------|-------------|
+| `"param_name"` (str) | False | Shard input parameter by name |
+| `0, 1, ...` (int) | True | Shard output tuple by index |
+
+### Approach 2: Intrusive Modification (Complex Cases)
+
+For dynamic sharding logic that can't be expressed via `_sp_plan`:
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.distributed.sp_sharding import sp_shard, sp_gather
+
+def forward(self, hidden_states, ...):
+    if self.parallel_config.sequence_parallel_size > 1:
+        hidden_states = sp_shard(hidden_states, dim=1)
+    for block in self.blocks:
+        hidden_states = block(hidden_states)
+    if self.parallel_config.sequence_parallel_size > 1:
+        hidden_states = sp_gather(hidden_states, dim=1)
+    return hidden_states
+```
+
+Use intrusive modification as a last resort — `_sp_plan` is preferred for maintainability.
+
+### UAA Mode (Experimental)
+
+`ulysses_mode="advanced_uaa"` handles arbitrary sequence lengths and head counts that aren't divisible by `ulysses_degree`. Uses variable all-to-all split sizes and temporary head padding.
+
+### Combining SP methods
+
+Ulysses and Ring can be combined: `ulysses_degree × ring_degree = total SP GPUs`.
+
+```python
+DiffusionParallelConfig(ulysses_degree=2, ring_degree=2)  # 4 GPUs total
+```
+
+### Testing SP
+
+```bash
+# Offline
+python text_to_image.py --model Your-model --ulysses-degree 2
+
+# Online serving
+vllm serve Your-model --omni --usp 2
+```

+            positive_kwargs = {
+                "hidden_states": latents,
+                "encoder_hidden_states": prompt_embeds,
+                "timestep": t,
+            }
+            negative_kwargs = {
+                "hidden_states": latents,
+                "encoder_hidden_states": negative_embeds,
+                "timestep": t,
+            } if do_true_cfg else None
+
+            noise_pred = self.predict_noise_maybe_with_cfg(
+                do_true_cfg=do_true_cfg,
+                true_cfg_scale=true_cfg_scale,
+                positive_kwargs=positive_kwargs,

+                noise_pred, t, latents, do_true_cfg
+            )
+        return latents
+```
+
+### Customization hooks
+
+| Method | Override when |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `predict_noise()` | Non-standard transformer call (e.g., dual-transformer like Wan2.2) |
+| `cfg_normalize_function()` | Custom normalization (e.g., LongCat with clamping) |
+| `combine_cfg_noise()` | Multi-output models (e.g., video + audio: CFG on video, positive-only on audio) |
+
+**Custom predict_noise** (Wan2.2 — selects active transformer):
+
+```python
+def predict_noise(self, current_model=None, **kwargs):
+    if current_model is None:
+        current_model = self.transformer
+    return current_model(**kwargs)[0]
+```
+
+**Custom combine_cfg_noise** (multi-output):
+
+```python
+def combine_cfg_noise(self, positive_pred, negative_pred, scale, normalize):
+    video_pos, audio_pos = positive_pred
+    video_neg, audio_neg = negative_pred
+    video_combined = super().combine_cfg_noise(video_pos, video_neg, scale, normalize)
+    return (video_combined, audio_pos)
+```
+
+### Composite scheduler for multi-output
+
+When each output has its own schedule:
+
+```python
+class VideoAudioScheduler:
+    def __init__(self, video_scheduler, audio_scheduler):
+        self.video_scheduler = video_scheduler
+        self.audio_scheduler = audio_scheduler
+
+    def step(self, noise_pred, t, latents, return_dict=False, generator=None):
+        video_out = self.video_scheduler.step(
+            noise_pred[0], t[0], latents[0], return_dict=False, generator=generator
+        )[0]
+        audio_out = self.audio_scheduler.step(
+            noise_pred[1], t[1], latents[1], return_dict=False, generator=generator
+        )[0]
+        return ((video_out, audio_out),)
+```
+
+### Testing CFG Parallel
+
+```bash
+python text_to_image.py --model Your-model \
+  --cfg-parallel-size 2 --cfg-scale 4.0 \
+  --negative-prompt "ugly, unclear"
+```
+
+**Constraint**: `guidance_scale > 1.0` and negative prompt must be provided.
+
+### Reference implementations

+| Model | Path |
+|-------|------|
+| Qwen-Image | `vllm_omni/diffusion/models/qwen_image/cfg_parallel.py` |
+| Wan2.2 | `vllm_omni/diffusion/models/wan2_2/pipeline_wan2_2.py` |

+
+---
+
+## HSDP (Hybrid Sharded Data Parallel)
+
+Shards model weights across GPUs using PyTorch FSDP2. Reduces per-GPU VRAM without changing computation.
+
+### Implementation
+
+Add `_hsdp_shard_conditions` to the transformer class:
+
+```python
+class YourTransformer(nn.Module):
+    @staticmethod
+    def _is_transformer_block(name: str, module) -> bool:
+        return "blocks" in name and name.split(".")[-1].isdigit()
+
+    _hsdp_shard_conditions = [_is_transformer_block]
+```
+
+For MoE models, add additional conditions:
+
+```python
+class MoETransformer(nn.Module):
+    @staticmethod
+    def _is_transformer_block(name, module):
+        return "blocks" in name and name.split(".")[-1].isdigit()
+
+    @staticmethod
+    def _is_moe_expert(name, module):
+        return "experts" in name and name.split(".")[-1].isdigit()
+
+    _hsdp_shard_conditions = [_is_transformer_block, _is_moe_expert]
+```
+
+A module is sharded if **any** condition returns `True`.
+
+### Constraints
+
+- Cannot combine with Tensor Parallelism
+- For standalone HSDP (no other parallelism), `hsdp_shard_size` must be specified explicitly
+- Can combine with SP: HSDP reduces memory while SP distributes sequence
+
+### Testing HSDP
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.data import DiffusionParallelConfig
+
+parallel_config = DiffusionParallelConfig(use_hsdp=True, hsdp_shard_size=8)
+omni = Omni(model="your-model", parallel_config=parallel_config)
+```
+
+Or CLI:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve Your-model --omni --use-hsdp
+```
+
+**Verify**: logs show "HSDP Inference: replicate_size=..., shard_size=..." and "Sharded N modules + root". Check VRAM reduction.
+
+### Reference implementations

+| Wan2.2 | `vllm_omni/diffusion/models/wan2_2/wan2_2_transformer.py` |
+| HSDP Core | `vllm_omni/diffusion/distributed/hsdp.py` |
+
+---
+
+## VAE Patch Parallelism
+
+Shards VAE decode spatially across ranks using tiling:
+
+```bash
+python text_to_image.py --model Your-model --vae-patch-parallel-size 4
+```
+
+Auto-enables `--vae-use-tiling`. Uses `DistributedAutoencoderKLWan` or similar distributed VAE. Set `vae_patch_parallel_size` in `DiffusionParallelConfig`.
+
+---
+
+## Combining Parallelism Methods
+
+Common multi-GPU recipes:
+
+```bash
+# 4 GPUs: CFG (2) × Ulysses (2)
+python text_to_image.py --model Qwen/Qwen-Image \
+  --cfg-parallel-size 2 --ulysses-degree 2
+
+# 8 GPUs: Ulysses (4) × Ring (2) + VAE patch (8)
+python text_to_video.py --model Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers \
+  --ulysses-degree 4 --ring-degree 2 --vae-patch-parallel-size 8
+
+# 2 GPUs: HSDP + Ulysses (cannot combine HSDP with TP)
+vllm serve Your-model --omni --use-hsdp --usp 2
+```
+
+## Discovering Parallelism Support
+
+Check which parallelism methods a model supports:
+
+| Check | How |
+|-------|-----|
+| **Ulysses / Ring SP** | Transformer defines `_sp_plan`. Search: `grep -r '_sp_plan' vllm_omni/diffusion/models/` |
+| **CFG Parallel** | Pipeline inherits `CFGParallelMixin`. Search: `grep -r 'CFGParallelMixin' vllm_omni/diffusion/models/` |
+| **TP** | Uses `ColumnParallelLinear` / `QKVParallelLinear`. Search: `grep -r 'ParallelLinear\|QKVParallel' vllm_omni/diffusion/models/<model>/` |
+| **HSDP** | Transformer defines `_hsdp_shard_conditions`. Search: `grep -r '_hsdp_shard_conditions' vllm_omni/diffusion/models/` |
+
+The canonical per-model support overview/table is in `docs/user_guide/diffusion/parallelism/overview.md`.

+# Transformer Adaptation Reference
+
+## Adapting a Diffusers Transformer to vLLM-Omni
+
+### Step-by-step Checklist
+
+1. Copy the transformer class from diffusers source
+2. Remove all mixin classes — inherit only from `nn.Module`
+3. Replace attention dispatch with `vllm_omni.diffusion.attention.layer.Attention`
+4. Replace logger with `vllm.logger.init_logger`
+5. Add `od_config: OmniDiffusionConfig | None = None` to `__init__`
+6. Remove training-only code (gradient checkpointing, dropout)
+7. Add `load_weights()` method for weight loading from safetensors
+8. Add class-level attributes for acceleration features
+
+### Mixin Removal
+
+Remove these diffusers mixins (and their imports):
+
+```python
+# Remove all of these:
+from diffusers.models.modeling_utils import ModelMixin
+from diffusers.configuration_utils import ConfigMixin, register_to_config
+from diffusers.models.attention_processor import AttentionModuleMixin
+from diffusers.loaders import PeftAdapterMixin, FromOriginalModelMixin
+
+# Replace:
+class MyTransformer(ModelMixin, ConfigMixin, AttentionModuleMixin):
+# With:
+class MyTransformer(nn.Module):
+```
+
+Also remove `@register_to_config` decorators from `__init__`.
+
+### Attention Replacement
+
+The vLLM-Omni `Attention` layer wraps backend selection (FlashAttention, SDPA, SageAttn, etc.) and supports sequence parallelism hooks.
+
+**QKV tensor shape must be `[batch, seq_len, num_heads, head_dim]`.**
+
+#### Self-Attention Pattern
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.attention.layer import Attention
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.attention.backends.abstract import AttentionMetadata
+
+class SelfAttentionBlock(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, dim, num_heads):
+        super().__init__()
+        self.num_heads = num_heads
+        self.head_dim = dim // num_heads
+
+        self.to_q = nn.Linear(dim, dim)
+        self.to_k = nn.Linear(dim, dim)
+        self.to_v = nn.Linear(dim, dim)
+        self.to_out = nn.Linear(dim, dim)
+
+        self.attn = Attention(
+            num_heads=num_heads,
+            head_size=self.head_dim,
+            softmax_scale=1.0 / (self.head_dim ** 0.5),
+            causal=False,
+            num_kv_heads=num_heads,
+            role="self",
+        )
+
+    def forward(self, x, attn_mask=None):
+        B, S, _ = x.shape
+        q = self.to_q(x).view(B, S, self.num_heads, self.head_dim)
+        k = self.to_k(x).view(B, S, self.num_heads, self.head_dim)
+        v = self.to_v(x).view(B, S, self.num_heads, self.head_dim)
+
+        attn_metadata = AttentionMetadata(attn_mask=attn_mask)
+        out = self.attn(q, k, v, attn_metadata=attn_metadata)
+        out = out.reshape(B, S, -1)
+        return self.to_out(out)
+```
+
+**Declaring the attention role.** Always pass a `role` string to `Attention(...)`. It is the lookup key users target with `--diffusion-attention-config.per_role.<role>.backend` to swap kernels per site without touching model code.
+
+| Convention | When to use |
+|---|---|
+| `role="self"` | Q/K/V come from the same hidden state |
+| `role="cross"` | K/V come from a separate `encoder_hidden_states`; pair with `skip_sequence_parallel=True` if K/V is replicated across SP ranks |
+
+For multi-modal sites that don't fit `self` / `cross`, use a dot-namespaced role and provide `role_category` so user config can fall back to the generic category:
+
+```python
+self.audio_to_video_attn = Attention(
+    num_heads=num_heads, head_size=self.head_dim,
+    softmax_scale=1.0 / (self.head_dim ** 0.5), causal=False,
+    role="mymodel.audio_to_video",
+    role_category="cross",
+)
+```
+
+#### Fused QKV with TP (Advanced)
+
+For tensor parallelism, use vLLM's parallel linear layers:
+
+```python
+from vllm.model_executor.layers.linear import (
+    QKVParallelLinear, RowParallelLinear
+)
+
+class TPSelfAttention(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, dim, num_heads):
+        super().__init__()
+        self.num_heads = num_heads
+        self.head_dim = dim // num_heads
+
+        self.to_qkv = QKVParallelLinear(
+            hidden_size=dim,
+            head_size=self.head_dim,
+            total_num_heads=num_heads,
+            total_num_kv_heads=num_heads,
+        )
+        self.to_out = RowParallelLinear(dim, dim)
+
+        self.attn = Attention(
+            num_heads=num_heads,
+            head_size=self.head_dim,
+            softmax_scale=1.0 / (self.head_dim ** 0.5),
+            causal=False,
+            num_kv_heads=num_heads,
+            role="self",
+        )
+```
+
+### Logger Replacement
+
+```python
+# Replace:
+from diffusers.utils import logging
+logger = logging.get_logger(__name__)
+
+# With:
+from vllm.logger import init_logger
+logger = init_logger(__name__)
+```
+
+### Custom Layers from vLLM-Omni
+
+Available utility layers:
+
+```python
+from vllm.model_executor.layers.layernorm import RMSNorm
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.layers.rope import RotaryEmbedding
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.layers.adalayernorm import AdaLayerNorm
+```
+
+### Config Support
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.data import OmniDiffusionConfig
+
+class MyTransformer(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, *, od_config=None, num_layers=28, hidden_size=3072, **kwargs):
+        super().__init__()
+        self.od_config = od_config
+        self.parallel_config = od_config.parallel_config if od_config else None
+        # ... build layers
+```
+
+The transformer config values come from `model_index.json` → `config.json` in the transformer subfolder. The pipeline uses `get_transformer_config_kwargs(od_config.tf_model_config, TransformerClass)` to filter config keys to match the `__init__` signature.
+
+### Weight Loading
+
+The `load_weights` method receives an iterable of `(name, tensor)` from safetensors files, with the prefix (e.g., `"transformer."`) already stripped by the loader.
+
+```python
+from vllm.model_executor.model_loader.weight_utils import default_weight_loader
+
+class MyTransformer(nn.Module):
+    def load_weights(self, weights):
+        params = dict(self.named_parameters())
+        loaded = set()
+        for name, tensor in weights:
+            # Optional: remap names from diffusers to vllm-omni naming
+            # e.g., "ff.net.0.proj" -> "ff.net_0.proj"
+
+            if name in params:
+                param = params[name]
+                if hasattr(param, "weight_loader"):
+                    param.weight_loader(param, tensor)
+                else:
+                    default_weight_loader(param, tensor)
+                loaded.add(name)
+        return loaded
+```
+
+#### QKV Fusion in load_weights
+
+If you fused separate Q/K/V into a `QKVParallelLinear`, you need to map diffusers' separate weight names:
+
+```python
+stacked_params_mapping = [
+    ("to_qkv", "to_q", "q"),
+    ("to_qkv", "to_k", "k"),
+    ("to_qkv", "to_v", "v"),
+]
+
+def load_weights(self, weights):
+    params = dict(self.named_parameters())
+    loaded = set()
+    for name, tensor in weights:
+        for fused_name, orig_name, shard_id in stacked_params_mapping:
+            if orig_name in name:
+                name = name.replace(orig_name, fused_name)
+                param = params[name]
+                param.weight_loader(param, tensor, shard_id)
+                loaded.add(name)
+                break
+        else:
+            # Normal loading
+            ...
+    return loaded
+```
+
+### Class-Level Attributes for Features
+
+
+```python
+class MyTransformer(nn.Module):
+    # torch.compile: list block class names that repeat and can be compiled
+    _repeated_blocks = ["MyTransformerBlock"]
+
+    # CPU offload: attribute name of the nn.ModuleList containing blocks
+    _layerwise_offload_blocks_attrs = ["blocks"]
+
+    # LoRA: mapping of fused param names to original param names
+    packed_modules_mapping = {"to_qkv": ["to_q", "to_k", "to_v"]}
+
+    # Sequence parallelism plan (advanced — add after basic impl works)
+    _sp_plan = {
+        "blocks.0": SequenceParallelInput(split_dim=1),
+        "proj_out": SequenceParallelOutput(gather_dim=1),
+    }
+```

+# Troubleshooting Reference
+
+## Common Errors When Adding a Diffusion Model
+
+### ImportError / ModuleNotFoundError
+
+**Cause**: Missing or incorrect registration.
+
+**Fix checklist**:
+1. Model registered in `vllm_omni/diffusion/registry.py` `_DIFFUSION_MODELS` dict
+2. `__init__.py` exports the pipeline class
+3. Pipeline file exists at the correct path: `vllm_omni/diffusion/models/{folder}/{file}.py`
+4. Class name in registry matches the actual class name in the file
+
+### Shape Mismatch in Attention
+
+**Symptom**: `RuntimeError: shape mismatch` or `expected 4D tensor`
+
+**Cause**: QKV tensors not reshaped to `[batch, seq_len, num_heads, head_dim]`.
+
+**Fix**: Before calling `self.attn(q, k, v, ...)`, ensure:
+```python
+q = q.view(batch, seq_len, self.num_heads, self.head_dim)
+k = k.view(batch, kv_seq_len, self.num_kv_heads, self.head_dim)
+v = v.view(batch, kv_seq_len, self.num_kv_heads, self.head_dim)
+```
+
+After attention, reshape back:
+```python
+out = out.reshape(batch, seq_len, -1)
+```
+
+### Weight Loading Failures
+
+**Symptom**: `RuntimeError: size mismatch for parameter ...` or missing keys
+
+**Debugging**:
+1. Print diffusers weight names: `safetensors.safe_open(path, "pt").keys()`
+2. Print model parameter names: `dict(model.named_parameters()).keys()`
+3. Compare and add name remappings in `load_weights()`
+
+**Common remappings needed**:
+- `ff.net.0.proj` → `ff.net_0.proj` (PyTorch Sequential indexing)
+- `.to_out.0.` → `.to_out.` (Sequential unwrapping)
+- `scale_shift_table` → moved to a wrapper module
+
+### Black/Blank/Noisy Output
+
+**Possible causes**:
+1. **Wrong latent normalization**: Check VAE expects latents scaled by `vae.config.scaling_factor`
+2. **Wrong scheduler**: Using the wrong scheduler class or wrong `flow_shift`
+3. **Missing CFG**: Some models require `guidance_scale > 1.0` with negative prompt
+4. **Wrong timestep format**: Some schedulers expect float, others expect int/long
+5. **Missing post-processing**: Raw VAE output may need denormalization
+
+**Quick test**: Run with diffusers directly using the same seed and compare latents at each step.
+
+### OOM (Out of Memory)
+
+**Solutions** (in order of preference):
+1. `--enforce-eager` to disable torch.compile (saves compile memory)
+2. `--enable-cpu-offload` for model-level offload
+3. `--enable-layerwise-offload` for block-level offload (better for large models)
+4. `--vae-use-slicing --vae-use-tiling` for VAE memory reduction
+5. Reduce resolution: `--height 480 --width 832`
+6. Use TP: `--tensor-parallel-size 2`
+
+### Different Output vs Diffusers Reference
+
+**Common causes**:
+1. **Attention backend difference**: FlashAttention vs SDPA may produce slightly different results. Force SDPA via `--diffusion-attention-backend TORCH_SDPA` (or `DIFFUSION_ATTENTION_BACKEND=TORCH_SDPA`) to match diffusers; for finer-grained per-role overrides see `--diffusion-attention-config.per_role.<role>.backend`
+2. **Float precision**: vLLM-Omni may use bfloat16 where diffusers uses float32 for some operations
+3. **Missing normalization**: Check all LayerNorm/RMSNorm are preserved
+4. **Scheduler rounding**: Some schedulers have numerical sensitivity
+
+### Tensor Parallel Errors
+
+**Symptom**: `AssertionError: not divisible` or incorrect output with TP>1
+
+**Fix**:
+1. Verify `num_heads % tp_size == 0` and `num_kv_heads % tp_size == 0`
+2. Ensure `ColumnParallelLinear` / `RowParallelLinear` are used correctly
+3. Check that norms between parallel layers use distributed norm if needed
+4. Verify `load_weights` handles TP sharding for norm weights
+5. Use `self.to_qkv.num_heads` (local heads per GPU) for QKV split sizes, not total heads
+
+**Missing `input_is_parallel=True`**:
+
+`RowParallelLinear` expects sharded input from `ColumnParallelLinear`:
+```python
+self.w1 = ColumnParallelLinear(dim, hidden_dim, return_bias=False)
+self.w2 = RowParallelLinear(hidden_dim, dim, input_is_parallel=True, return_bias=False)
+```
+
+### Sequence Parallel Errors
+
+**Symptom**: Incorrect output or crashes with `--ulysses-degree N` or `--usp N`
+
+**Possible causes**:
+1. **Inline operations between shard/gather points**: `torch.cat()`, `pad_sequence()` etc. not at `nn.Module` boundaries. Fix: extract into submodule.
+2. **Wrong `split_dim`**: Check the tensor shape at the shard point. Sequence dimension is typically `dim=1` for `[B, S, D]` tensors.
+3. **RoPE not sharded**: If RoPE is computed separately, add it to `_sp_plan` with `split_output=True`.
+4. **Sequence not divisible by SP degree**: Use `auto_pad=True` in `SequenceParallelInput` or switch to `ulysses_mode="advanced_uaa"`.
+
+**Debugging**: Add `expected_dims=N` to `SequenceParallelInput`/`Output` for shape validation at runtime.
+
+### CFG Parallel Errors
+
+**Symptom**: CFG parallel not activating, no speedup
+
+**Fix checklist**:
+1. Pipeline inherits `CFGParallelMixin`
+2. `guidance_scale > 1.0`
+3. Negative prompt provided (even if empty string)
+4. `--cfg-parallel-size 2` specified
+5. `diffuse()` method calls `predict_noise_maybe_with_cfg()` and `scheduler_step_maybe_with_cfg()`
+
+**Symptom**: Different output with CFG parallel vs sequential
+
+**Possible cause**: Non-deterministic scheduler. Fix: pass `generator=torch.Generator(device).manual_seed(seed)` to `scheduler_step_maybe_with_cfg()`.
+
+### HSDP Errors
+
+**Symptom**: HSDP not activating or errors during weight loading
+
+**Fix checklist**:
+1. Transformer defines `_hsdp_shard_conditions` class attribute
+2. Shard condition functions return `True` for correct modules (test with `model.named_modules()`)
+3. Not combining with TP (HSDP and TP are incompatible)
+4. For standalone HSDP, `hsdp_shard_size` is specified explicitly
+
+**Verify**: Check logs for "HSDP Inference: replicate_size=..., shard_size=..." and "Sharded N modules + root".
+
+### Cache-DiT Not Applied
+
+**Symptom**: No speedup, no cache-related log messages
+
+**Fix checklist**:
+1. Model not in `_NO_CACHE_ACCELERATION` in `registry.py`
+2. Pipeline class name matches `CUSTOM_DIT_ENABLERS` key (if using custom enabler)
+3. `cache_backend="cache_dit"` specified
+4. Check logs for "Cache-dit enabled successfully on xxx"
+
+**Verify pipeline name**: `print(pipeline.__class__.__name__)` — must match registry key.
+
+### Cache-DiT Quality Degradation
+
+**Symptom**: Artifacts or lower quality with cache-dit
+
+**Fix**: Reduce aggressiveness:
+```python
+cache_config={
+    "residual_diff_threshold": 0.12,      # Lower from 0.24
+    "max_warmup_steps": 6,                # Increase from 4
+    "max_continuous_cached_steps": 2,      # Reduce if higher
+}
+```
+
+If quality is still poor, the model may need a custom enabler with per-block-list `ParamsModifier` tuning.
+
+### Model Not Detected / Wrong Pipeline Class
+
+**Symptom**: `ValueError: Model class ... not found in diffusion model registry`
+
+**Cause**: The model's `model_index.json` has a `_class_name` for the pipeline that doesn't match registry keys.
+
+**Fix**: The registry key must match the diffusers pipeline class name from `model_index.json`. If using a different name, map it in the registry:
+```python
+"DiffusersPipelineClassName": ("your_folder", "your_file", "YourVllmClassName"),
+```
+
+## Debugging Workflow
+
+1. **Add verbose logging**: Use `logger.info()` to print tensor shapes at each stage
+2. **Compare step-by-step**: Run diffusers and vllm-omni side by side, comparing tensors after each major operation
+3. **Use small configs**: Reduce `num_inference_steps=2`, small resolution for fast iteration
+4. **Test transformer isolation**: Feed the same input to both diffusers and vllm-omni transformers, compare outputs
+5. **Binary search for bugs**: Comment out blocks/layers to isolate where divergence starts

+description: Add or update an in-repository vLLM-Omni model recipe with verified task, input, output, hardware, command, feature, and validation contracts. Use when creating files under recipes/, restructuring a recipe after review, documenting a newly supported model, or synchronizing recipe claims with support tables and shared feature guides.
+---
+
+# Add a vLLM-Omni Recipe
+
+## Source the contract
+
+Read [`recipes/TEMPLATE.md`](../../../recipes/TEMPLATE.md) and
+[`recipes/README.md`](../../../recipes/README.md) before editing. Inspect the
+canonical model card/repository, implementation, shared examples, tests, and
+available local qualification evidence.
+
+Do not infer support from a model name, sibling recipe, registry entry, or
+topology validator. Mark unexecuted configurations as configuration-only.
+
+## Route by model family
+
+Read only the contributor and user documentation relevant to the model:
+
+| Family | Contributor guide | User-facing documentation to synchronize |
+|---|---|---|
+| Diffusion | [`adding a diffusion model`](../add-diffusion-model/SKILL.md) | `docs/user_guide/diffusion_features.md`, applicable diffusion feature guides, and shared image/video/audio examples |
+| TTS | [`adding a TTS model`](../add-tts-model/SKILL.md) | `examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech/README.md`, `examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/README.md`, and `docs/serving/speech_api.md` |
+| Omni | [`adding an omni model`](../../../docs/contributing/model/adding_omni_model.md) | model-family offline/online example docs, `docs/serving/chat_completions_api.md`, and `docs/user_guide/feature_compatibility.md` |
+
+All families must update `docs/models/supported_models.md` and the matching row
+in `recipes/README.md`. Do not add a modality-specific support document when
+the repository has no such table; update the closest shared user contract.
+
+## Structure the recipe
+
+Keep the recipe task-oriented and use one hardware-specific file named
+`recipes/<vendor>/<model>-<hardware>.md`. A recipe may contain multiple
+deployment topologies on that hardware, but each additional accelerator model
+or platform requires its own suffixed file.
+
+1. **Summary:** vendor, exact model ID, runtime, modes, named hardware,
+   recommended deployment, and maintainer.
+2. **Supported model contract:** put task, input, output, and provided-profile
+   tables before setup or commands.
+3. **References:** link the canonical model source, shared examples, supported
+   model table, and feature matrix.
+4. **Checkpoint/setup:** pin revisions when possible and state required assets.
+5. **Hardware:** document the single accelerator named by the file suffix,
+   including every validated device-count/topology profile on it.
+6. **Commands:** reuse shared `examples/` entrypoints unless the model contract
+   truly requires a dedicated script. Include offline and online paths that
+   were validated.
+7. **Supported features:** use a compact model-specific topology/status table
+   with links to shared feature guides.
+8. **Verification:** provide a quick command and exact expected output
+   contract.
+9. **Qualification evidence:** report correctness, memory, and timing evidence
+   with its measurement scope and caveats.
+
+## Separate hardware from software
+
+For every locally validated hardware profile, record:
+
+- accelerator vendor/model and per-device memory;
+- number of devices;
+- interconnect (`NVLink`, `PCIe`, or the platform equivalent);
+- host memory when CPU staging/offload is material;
+- whether the profile is runtime-qualified or configuration-only.
+
+Record OS, Python, driver/runtime, framework versions, and the vLLM-Omni
+revision in a separate software-environment table. Keep precision, worker
+count, and DP/TP/SP/PP sizes with the deployment profile or exact command.
+
+Never generalize a result from one accelerator family to another or combine
+NVIDIA, AMD, NPU, or distinct accelerator models in one recipe. Create a
+separate hardware-suffixed recipe and `recipes/README.md` row. Distinguish
+upstream requirements from hardware exercised by the PR.
+
+## Keep shared documentation concise
+
+Link the applicable diffusion, TTS, omni, serving, or design guide for generic
+feature semantics and launch instructions. The recipe should contain only the
+model-specific status, valid topology, required flag difference, and evidence
+boundary.
+
+Put unsupported combinations in the same feature table. Avoid repeating the
+same model-specific prose below the global feature matrix; the recipe is the
+detailed source of truth.
+
+## Report evidence precisely
+
+For every performance or memory value, state:
+
+- checkpoint/revision and workload;
+- accelerator and device count;
+- precision and topology;
+- cold/warm scope, step count, and concurrency;
+- peak HBM and host-memory metric when measured;
+- output/quality guard and sample count;
+- monitoring overhead or other known variance.
+
+Call a single bounded run qualification evidence, not a benchmark. Do not add
+a benchmark script unless the contribution explicitly requires one.
+
+## Synchronize repository documentation
+
+Update all applicable locations:
+
+- the row in `recipes/README.md`;
+- `docs/models/supported_models.md`;
+- the family-specific documentation selected in **Route by model family**;
+- shared example documentation when commands or flags change.
+
+Keep global support tables compact. Link to the recipe instead of duplicating
+its deployment explanation.
+
+## Validate
+
+Run, at minimum:
+
+```bash
+pre-commit run --files <changed recipe/docs/skill files>
+mkdocs build --strict
+git diff --check
+```
+
+Remove generated documentation artifacts after validation. Confirm every
+recipe link resolves and every claimed profile has matching code or evidence.

+description: "Integrate a new text-to-speech model into vLLM-Omni from HuggingFace reference implementation through production-ready serving with streaming and CUDA graph acceleration. Use when adding a new TTS model, wiring stage separation for speech synthesis, enabling online voice generation serving, debugging TTS integration behavior, or building audio output pipelines."
+---
+
+# TTS Model Integration Workflow
+
+## Overview
+
+```
+HF Reference -> Stage Separation -> Online Serving -> Async Chunk -> CUDA Graph -> Pre-commit/DCO
+   (Phase 1)      (Phase 2)          (Phase 3)        (Phase 4)     (Phase 5)      (Phase 6)
+```
+
+Three architecture patterns are supported:
+
+- **Two-stage pipeline** (e.g. Qwen3-TTS, Fish Speech, CosyVoice3): AR
+  code-predictor → audio decoder, connected via async_chunk for low-latency
+  streaming. Use this for maximum performance.
+- **Single-stage AR via generator** (e.g. MOSS-TTS-Nano): entire model runs
+  inside one AR worker, streaming audio chunks through a per-request
+  `inference_stream()` generator. Use this when the upstream model bundles AR
+  + codec inseparably. See [references/single-stage-ar.md](references/single-stage-ar.md).
+- **Single-stage, vLLM-native base LM + side computation** (e.g. VoxCPM2):
+  the base language model runs under vLLM's PagedAttention as a normal AR
+  model; diffusion / VAE / side computations run outside vLLM and are
+  attached via the runner post-processing hook. This is a distinct pattern
+  from the generator approach above — do not confuse the two.
+
+The single-stage variants skip Phase 4 (async_chunk) but Phase 5 (CUDA graph)
+is still encouraged for the inner AR loop.
+
+## Cross-Cutting Invariants
+
+These rules apply to every TTS model regardless of architecture (AR vs AR+diffusion, single-stage vs two-stage, codec-based vs VAE-based). They surface repeatedly across PRs — check them at the end of every phase.
+
+### I1. Streaming output contract
+
+Pick exactly one per-step semantics for `forward()` and document it in the docstring:
+
+- **Delta**: yield only new audio samples produced this step. Preferred — linear cost, low memory.
+- **Cumulative**: re-decode from step 0 every call. O(N²); only acceptable if the codec has no streaming decode path.
+
+If you choose **delta**, verify the full emit→consolidate→consume chain:
+
+1. `forward()` returns `{"model_outputs": <new_chunk_only>, ...}`
+2. `_consolidate_multimodal_tensors()` in `vllm_omni/engine/output_processor.py` concatenates the audio key into one tensor at finish. If it skips the key (`continue`), offline consumers receive only the final chunk. See `output_processor.py` for the concrete list of handled modality keys.
+3. Streaming consumers (SSE, Gradio) receive per-step deltas; offline consumers (`engine.generate()`) receive a single concatenated tensor.
+
+Cumulative-vs-delta mismatch is the most common silent bug — offline RTF benchmarks pass, but users hear replays or truncation.
+
+### I2. Multimodal output consumer hygiene
+
+`outputs[0].outputs[0].multimodal_output[<key>]` can be any of `Tensor`, `list[Tensor]` (pre-consolidation snapshot), `np.ndarray`, or scalar. When writing tests, examples, and benchmarks:
+
+- **Never** use `dict.get("a") or dict.get("b")` on tensor values — Python evaluates the tensor's boolean, raising `RuntimeError: Boolean value of Tensor with more than one value is ambiguous`. Use explicit `if x is None` chains.
+- Always defensively handle the list form: `if isinstance(x, list): x = torch.cat([t.reshape(-1) for t in x], dim=0)`.
+- Assert `shape` / `dtype` / `duration` explicitly; do not rely on truthiness for presence checks.
+
+### I3. Hot-loop GPU discipline
+
+Inside any per-step model loop (AR decode, diffusion solver, CFM Euler, vocoder block loop):
+
+- No `tensor.item()`, `.cpu()`, or `.tolist()` — each triggers a GPU→CPU sync; at 10 steps × 60 frames × 4 ops that is 2400 syncs per request.
+- Prefer `dst.copy_(src)` over `dst.fill_(src.item())` when writing a scalar tensor into a buffer.
+- Prefer `torch.compile(Model.forward, fullgraph=False)` on the whole forward over per-submodule compile — fewer dispatch boundaries, larger fusion regions. Measure before choosing granularity.
+- No Python-side control flow that depends on tensor values; use `torch.where` / masking instead.
+
+Profile first, optimize second. See the profiling docs / project memory for the trace-analysis workflow.
+
+### I4. Validation pyramid
+
+Offline RTF alone is necessary but not sufficient. Every new TTS model must pass all three:
+
+| Layer | Catches | Tool |
+|-------|---------|------|
+| Offline RTF / duration check | Throughput regressions, missing audio, wrong sample rate | `end2end.py`, pytest e2e |
+| Browser streaming playback | Delta/cumulative bugs, chunk boundary glitches, TTFP regressions | Gradio demo over `/v1/audio/speech?stream=true` |
+| Concurrent requests | Per-request state leaks, codec window round-robin gaps | `max_num_seqs>1` smoke test with 4+ parallel prompts |
+
+Declaring a model "done" without all three has shipped regressions more than once.
+
+### I5. Per-request state is owned by the request, not the model
+
+If the model caches *anything* across `forward()` calls (streaming generators, codec buffers, sliding-window pads, CUDA graph state), key it by request ID:
+
+```python
+self._state: dict[str, YourState] = {}    # request_key → state
+# fetch: request_key = str(info.get("_omni_req_id", "0"))
+# free on finish: del self._state[request_key]
+```
+
+A shared buffer silently corrupts audio across concurrent requests — the symptom is crosstalk or truncation only under load.
+
+## Phase 1: HuggingFace Reference
+
+**Goal**: Understand the reference implementation and verify it produces correct audio.
+
+### Steps
+
+1. **Run the reference model** end-to-end using the official HuggingFace / GitHub code
+2. **Document the architecture**:
+   - What are the sub-models? (AR decoder, codec decoder, vocoder, etc.)
+   - What is the token vocabulary? (semantic codes, RVQ codebooks, special tokens)
+   - What is the output format? (sample rate, channels, codec type)
+3. **Capture reference outputs** for comparison during integration
+4. **Identify the config structure**: `config.json` fields, `model_type`, sub-model configs
+
+### Key Questions
+
+- How many codebooks? What are the codebook sizes?
+- What special tokens exist? (`<|voice|>`, `<|audio_start|>`, `<|im_end|>`, etc.)
+- What is the token-to-ID mapping for codec codes?
+- What is the hop length / frame rate of the codec?
+- Does the model support voice cloning? How? (reference audio encoding, speaker embeddings, etc.)
+
+### Deliverables
+
+- Working reference script that produces audio
+- Architecture diagram / notes
+- Token vocabulary mapping
+- Reference audio samples for regression testing
+
+## Phase 2: Stage Separation (Offline Inference)
+
+**Goal**: Split the model into vLLM-Omni stages and get offline inference working.
+
+### Steps
+
+1. **Register the model** in `vllm_omni/model_executor/models/registry.py`
+2. **Create config classes** (`configuration_<model>.py`) with `model_type` registration
+3. **Implement Stage 0** (AR model):
+   - Subclass appropriate base (e.g., wrap Qwen3 decoder layers)
+   - Implement `forward()` for autoregressive token generation
+   - Handle special token logic (start/stop tokens, codec token mapping)
+   - If dual-AR (like Fish Speech), implement Fast AR as a nested module
+4. **Implement Stage 1** (Decoder):
+   - Load codec weights (may need lazy loading from separate checkpoint)
+   - Implement `forward()`: codec codes -> audio waveform
+   - Return `OmniOutput` with `multimodal_outputs`
+5. **Define and register the pipeline topology** in
+   `vllm_omni/model_executor/models/<model>/pipeline.py`
+6. **Create the deploy YAML** under `vllm_omni/deploy/` for placement,
+   memory sizing, connectors, and runtime overrides
+7. **Create stage input processor** for prompt building and inter-stage handoff
+8. **Write end2end.py** test script
+
+### Critical Parameters to Get Right
+
+| Parameter | Impact if Wrong |
+|-----------|----------------|
+| Hop length | Audio duration wrong, streaming noise |
+| Token ID mapping | Garbage codes -> noise output |
+| Codebook count/size | Shape mismatch crashes |
+| Stop token | Generation never stops or stops too early |
+| dtype / autocast | Numerical issues, silent quality degradation |
+| Repetition penalty | Must match reference (often 1.0 for TTS) |
+
+### Debugging Priority (from experience)
+
+When audio output is wrong, check in this order:
+
+1. **RoPE / attention**: Are position encodings correct? Is the attention mask right?
+2. **Normalization**: RMSNorm epsilon, layer norm placement (pre vs post)
+3. **Hop length**: Product of all upsample rates in the codec decoder
+4. **Token mapping**: Are codec IDs correctly offset from the vocabulary base?
+5. **Sampling parameters**: Temperature, top_k, top_p, repetition_penalty
+6. **Tensor layout**: Codebook-major vs frame-major ordering
+7. **dtype**: Float32 for codec decoders (autocast can corrupt audio)
+
+### Streaming Correctness Rules (single-stage and two-stage)
+
+These bugs appear in almost every new TTS PR. Check all before the first push. See also the cross-cutting invariants I1 (output contract) and I5 (per-request state) above — the rules below are the Phase 2-specific instances of those invariants:
+
+- **Accumulate codes across AR steps** — each `forward()` appends new codes; do not reset between steps or audio will be truncated (fish speech: `fix: accumulate audio_codes across steps`)
+- **Emit delta audio, not full waveform** — in streaming mode yield only the new chunk per step, not the re-decoded full waveform from step 0 (fish speech: `fix: emit delta audio not full waveform`)
+- **All return paths must emit `model_outputs`** — if any early-return branch skips setting `model_outputs`, the serving layer silently drops that step's audio (fish speech: `fix: ensure ALL return paths emit model_outputs`)
+- **Per-request state isolation** — for batched concurrent requests, key all state by request ID; a shared buffer corrupts audio across requests (fish speech: `fix: per-request vocode + delta emission`)
+- **Codec tensor device** — move codec codes to the codec decoder's device before calling decode; mismatches cause silent CPU fallback or crashes (fish speech: `fix: use model device for CUDA stream`)
+- **AR stage `max_num_seqs`** — set to at least 4 in production deploy configs; for single-stage models this is the only stage. For two-stage models, Stage 0 (AR) needs `max_num_seqs ≥ 4` to pipeline concurrent requests; Stage 1 (codec decoder) is model-specific and may intentionally use `max_num_seqs: 1`. Defaulting the AR stage to 1 causes audio gaps under concurrency because the codec window round-robins across requests (RFC #2568)
+
+### Optional Dependency Handling
+
+Patch optional dependencies (`torchaudio` / `torchcodec` / `soundfile`) at
+the top of `load_weights()`, not at module import. Failures to do so cause
+cryptic errors only on environments missing the optional package — after
+the model is already deployed. See
+[references/optional-deps.md](references/optional-deps.md) for the full
+pattern, signature constraints, and MOSS-TTS-Nano reference.
+
+### Single-Stage AR Pattern (alternative to two-stage)
+
+When the upstream model cannot be cleanly split into an AR stage and a
+separate decoder, run the full pipeline inside a single AR worker and
+stream audio through a per-request `inference_stream()` generator keyed by
+`_omni_req_id`. Define one `StagePipelineConfig` with
+`execution_type=StageExecutionType.LLM_AR`, `engine_output_type="audio"`,
+`final_output=True`, and `owns_tokenizer=True`. Set `async_chunk: false` in
+the deploy YAML. Only extract params from
+`additional_information` that you actually forward, or pre-commit fails
+`ruff F841`.
+
+Full walkthrough with the complete `forward()` / `_create_stream_gen()`
+skeleton plus pipeline/deploy definitions:
+[references/single-stage-ar.md](references/single-stage-ar.md). For an
+in-tree reference, look for any single-stage AR model under
+`vllm_omni/model_executor/models/`, such as MOSS-TTS-Nano.
+
+**VoxCPM2 is a different pattern** and should not reuse this skeleton — it
+runs the base LM under vLLM PagedAttention with external side-computation.
+See `plan/voxcpm2_native_ar_design.md`.
+
+### Deliverables
+
+- Model files in `vllm_omni/model_executor/models/<model_name>/`
+- Registered `pipeline.py` topology
+- Deploy YAML under `vllm_omni/deploy/`
+- Working `end2end.py` at `examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech/<model>/end2end.py`
+- New section in `examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech/README.md` (table row + per-model section). Do **not** create a top-level `examples/offline_inference/<model>/` dir or a per-model `README.md` inside `text_to_speech/<model>/` — the hub README is the documented surface and the mkdocs `generate_examples` hook only descends one level into `examples/<category>/`.
+
+## Phase 3: Online Serving
+
+**Goal**: Expose the model via `/v1/audio/speech` API endpoint.
+
+### Steps
+
+1. **Write one adapter** under `vllm_omni/entrypoints/openai/tts_adapters/`.
+   `serving_speech.py` should not need an edit — detection, stage discovery and
+   dispatch are all derived from what the adapter declares.
+
+   Create `vllm_omni/entrypoints/openai/tts_adapters/your_model.py`:
+   ```python
+   @register_tts_adapter
+   class YourModelAdapter(ARTTSAdapter):
+       name = "your_model"                              # registry key + log label
+       stage_keys = frozenset({"your_stage_key"})       # the deploy yaml's model_stage
+
+       def validate(self, request) -> str | None:
+           if not request.input or not request.input.strip():
+               return "Input text cannot be empty"
+           return None
+
+       async def build(self, request, sampling_params_list, has_inline_ref_audio):
+           params = {"text": [request.input]}
+           if request.voice is not None:
+               params["voice"] = [request.voice]
+           return PreparedRequest(
+               prompt={"prompt": request.input},
+               tts_params=params,
+               model_type=self.name,
+           )
+   ```
+
+   Then add the module to the import block at the bottom of
+   `tts_adapters/__init__.py` so it registers. That import line is the only shared
+   file a new model touches — which is also why the old rebase-conflict hotspot is
+   gone.
+
+   > **Pure-diffusion TTS does not go through adapters yet.** Under
+   > `for_diffusion()`, `create_speech()` routes straight to
+   > `_create_diffusion_speech()` and never calls `validate()`/`build()`.
+   > `DiffusionTTSAdapter` is scaffolding with no production subclass, so logic
+   > placed in one would silently never run. Diffusion-engine models follow the
+   > existing diffusion path; wiring it through adapters is open work (#4855).
+
+   **If a stage key alone cannot identify the model**, declare
+   `model_archs = frozenset({"YourModelForConditionalGeneration"})`; add
+   `arch_identifies_entry_stage = True` when the model owns no stage key at all
+   (Ming dense). For a rule that is not set membership, override `matches()` (see
+   `covo_audio.py`). For a genuine overlap with another adapter, give one an
+   explicit `detect_priority` — `test_tts_detection.py` fails on an unordered
+   overlap. Models that only serve speech in some topologies override
+   `stage_serves_speech()` (see `audex.py`).
+
+   **Reuse shared helpers via `self.ctx.server`** rather than reimplementing them:
+   `_resolve_ref_audio`, `_apply_uploaded_speaker`, `_validate_ref_audio_format`,
+   `_max_instructions_length`. Read a comparable adapter first — `fish_speech.py`
+   (voice cloning), `higgs_audio_v3.py` (parameter-heavy), `moss_tts.py` (family
+   sharing a base class).
+
+   > **Do not add `self._tts_model_type == ...` branches to `serving_speech.py`.**
+   > Older models predate the adapter framework and still have them; they are being
+   > migrated out (RFC #4327, #4855). `tools/pre_commit/check_tts_adapter.py` is a
+   > ratchet on the remaining count and fails the commit if it grows. Behaviour that
+   > no adapter hook can express is a missing hook — propose it on the RFC.
+
+   > **Unused variable rule**: only extract fields in `build()` that are actually
+   > forwarded to the model. Unused extractions fail `ruff F841`. For voice-cloning
+   > fields (`ref_audio` -> `prompt_audio_path`, `ref_text` -> `prompt_text`), add
+   > them to the params and verify they reach the model call.
+
+2. **Handle model-specific parameters**:
+   - Voice cloning: `ref_audio` encoding and prompt injection
+   - `max_new_tokens` override in sampling params
+   - Model-specific default values
+3. **Create client scripts**: `speech_client.py`, `run_server.sh`
+4. **Test all response formats**: wav, mp3, flac, pcm
+5. **Add Gradio demo**: Interactive web UI with streaming support
+
+### Voice Cloning Pattern
+
+```python
+import base64
+from pathlib import Path
+
+def build_voice_clone_prompt(ref_audio_path: str, text: str, codec) -> list:
+    """Build prompt with reference audio for voice cloning, called from the adapter."""
+    audio_bytes = Path(ref_audio_path).read_bytes()
+    codes = codec.encode(audio_bytes)  # Encode on CPU using model's codec (e.g., DAC)
+    token_ids = [code + codec.vocab_offset for code in codes.flatten().tolist()]
+    return [
+        {"role": "system", "content": f"<|voice|>{''.join(chr(t) for t in token_ids)}"},
+        {"role": "user", "content": text},
+    ]
+```
+
+### Test Case Writing (CI Levels)
+
+**Follow the [vllm-omni-test skill](../vllm-omni-test/SKILL.md)** for markers, file naming (`test_{slug}.py` / `test_{slug}_expansion.py`), Buildkite wiring, and copy-paste run commands. Also read [test_system_overview.md](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/blob/main/docs/contributing/ci/test_system_overview.md) and [test_writing_guide.md](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/blob/main/docs/contributing/ci/test_writing_guide.md).
+
+Classify the model's **CI priority** first (high / medium / low). High-priority TTS models are typically those on the integration hot path or listed in tracking issues such as [#1832](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/issues/1832); medium and low tiers cover the long tail. When unsure, ask the reviewer which tier applies.
+
+| Priority | Required test levels | Files & markers |
+|----------|---------------------|-----------------|
+| **High** | **L1** unit/logic · **L2** online smoke · **L3** online + offline integration · **L4** feature + performance | See table below |
+| **Medium** | **L3** online + offline · **L4** feature only | Skip dedicated L1/L2 unless fixing a logic bug |
+| **Low** | **L4** feature only | One or two `*_expansion.py` parametrized cases |
+
+**Per-level deliverables (TTS / `pytest.mark.tts`):**
+
+| Level | Location | Marker | CI pipeline | Notes |
+|-------|----------|--------|-------------|-------|
+| **L1** | `tests/model_executor/…`, `tests/entrypoints/openai_api/…`, stage-processor tests | `core_model` + `cpu` | `test-ready.yml` | Prompt assembly, async_chunk helpers, adapter validation — no GPU |
+| **L2** | `tests/e2e/online_serving/test_{slug}.py` | **`core_model` + `advanced_model`** (both on baseline smoke) + `tts` + `@hardware_test(...)` | `test-ready.yml` (`ready` label) | Default deploy smoke: single `/v1/audio/speech` or offline `OmniRunner` path |
+| **L3** | `tests/e2e/online_serving/test_{slug}.py` **and** `tests/e2e/offline_inference/test_{slug}.py` | Baseline smoke: **`core_model` + `advanced_model`**; heavier cases: `advanced_model` only (+ `tts`) | `test-merge.yml` **or** merged into nightly TTS function job | Streaming, voice clone, batch/queue, async_chunk |
+| **L4** | `tests/e2e/online_serving/test_{slug}_expansion.py`, optional offline expansion | `full_model` + `tts` | `test-nightly.yml` (`:full_moon: TTS · Function Test with L4`) | Feature matrix; perf → `tests/dfx/perf/tests/test_tts.json` |
+
+**L2 & L3 online — same file, dual marks on the baseline smoke:** The **first / simplest** case in `test_{slug}.py` (default deploy, single non-streaming `/v1/audio/speech` or equivalent offline path) should carry **both** `@pytest.mark.core_model` **and** `@pytest.mark.advanced_model` on the **same** function so it runs in L2 (`test-ready.yml`, `--run-level core_model`, basic validation) and L3 (`test-merge.yml`, `--run-level advanced_model`, deeper validation) without duplicating the test. In-tree examples: `test_voxcpm2_tts.py::test_text_to_audio_001`, `test_qwen3_tts_customvoice.py::test_text_to_audio_001`.
+
+Heavier scenarios in the same file use **`advanced_model` only** (streaming, extra languages, concurrency, async_chunk, batch). Example: `test_voice_clone_en_streaming_001` → `advanced_model` only. When migrating L3 to nightly, move those heavier cases into `test_{slug}_expansion.py` with `full_model` and drop the dedicated merge job (see `test_ming_tts_expansion.py`, `test_glm_tts_expansion.py`).
+
+```python
+@pytest.mark.core_model
+@pytest.mark.advanced_model
+@pytest.mark.tts
+@hardware_test(res={"cuda": "L4"}, num_cards=1)
+@pytest.mark.parametrize("omni_server", tts_server_params, indirect=True)
+def test_voice_clone_en_non_streaming_001(omni_server, online_client) -> None:
+    online_client.send_audio_speech_request({...})
+```
+
+**L4 consolidation:** Prefer parametrized `OmniServerParams` rows (`default`, `async_chunk`, feature flags) in one expansion module rather than many merge-only files ([#1832](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/issues/1832)).
+
+**L4 performance (high-priority models):** Add latency / throughput / stress rows in `tests/dfx/perf/tests/test_tts.json`, or a dedicated `tests/dfx/perf/tests/test_{slug}.json` when the model must not join the shared nightly server matrix before integration lands (see VoxCPM2 / Coqui XTTS pattern). Register the model in `benchmarks/tts/model_configs.yaml` for local `bench_tts.py`. Wire a **separate** `test-nightly.yml` Perf Test step when the JSON is not merged into `test_tts.json` yet.
+
+**Keep model-specific code inside test modules — not `tests/helpers/{slug}.py`:**
+
+- Put `MODEL`, deploy path, vendored `REF_AUDIO_URL`, `get_prompt()`, and inline `request_config` dicts **in each** `test_{slug}.py`, `test_{slug}_expansion.py`, offline `test_{slug}.py`, and L1 `test_{slug}_*.py` as needed.
+- **Do not** add `tests/helpers/{slug}.py` (or `tests/helpers/{model_name}.py`) to deduplicate constants or request builders across those files. A little duplication is intentional; follow in-tree references such as `tests/e2e/online_serving/test_glm_tts.py` and `tests/e2e/online_serving/test_cosyvoice3_tts_expansion.py`.
+- `tests/helpers/` is for **repo-wide** harness code only (`mark.py`, `media.py`, `runtime.py`, `stage_config.py`, `assertions.py`, `fixtures/`). Import those; do not extend the tree with per-model modules.
+
+**Runtime send helpers (`tests/helpers/runtime.py`) — online and offline e2e:**
+
+| Path | Fixture | Call |
+|------|---------|------|
+| Online `/v1/*` | `online_client` | `online_client.send_*_request(request_config)` |
+| Offline inference | `offline_client` | `offline_client.send_*_request(request_config)` |
+
+1. **Grep `runtime.py` first** — reuse `send_omni_request`, `send_diffusion_request`, `send_audio_speech_request` (online + offline Qwen-style TTS), `send_single_stage_tts_request` (Coqui XTTS / MOSS-TTS-Nano offline), etc.
+2. **No matching helper** → add `send_<feature>_request` (or `send_<route>_http_request` for negative/dfx) in **`runtime.py`** with general `assert_*` bundled inside, **then** call it from the test.
+3. **Test file** holds `request_config` dicts only — not `omni.generate`, not `_collect_audio()`, not raw HTTP/SDK.
+4. Wire `tests/helpers/runtime.py` into Buildkite `source_file_dependencies` when you add helpers.
+
+See [vllm-omni-test skill](../vllm-omni-test/SKILL.md) § **Runtime send helpers** for full tables and exceptions.
+
+### Deliverables
+
+- One adapter file under `tts_adapters/` plus its line in the package import block
+- Client scripts and server launcher under `examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/<model>/`
+- Gradio demo with streaming and voice cloning UI in the same dir
+- E2E tests per **Test Case Writing (CI Levels)** above (priority tier determines L1–L4 scope)
+- Buildkite wired per level: `test-ready.yml` (L1/L2), `test-merge.yml` or nightly function job (L3), `test-nightly.yml` (L4) — see [vllm-omni-test skill](../vllm-omni-test/SKILL.md)
+- New section in `examples/online_serving/text_to_speech/README.md` (table row + per-model section). Do **not** create a top-level `examples/online_serving/<model>/` dir or a per-model `README.md` inside `text_to_speech/<model>/`.
+
+### E2E test pitfalls to avoid
+
+- **One `OmniServerParams` set per file.** `omni_server` is module-scoped; a second
+  id in the same file forces mid-module teardown/restart and exposes startup
+  races (`APIConnectionError` on the first request post-restart). Split variants
+  into separate files instead.
+- **No external URL fetches from the server.** CI and some dev hosts can't
+  reach `raw.githubusercontent.com` over TLS. Inline ref audio as
+  `data:audio/wav;base64,...`; the serving layer accepts both URL and data URL.
+- **Use the harness readiness gate.** The fixture waits for HTTP 200 on
+  `/health`; don't add `time.sleep` in tests. If warmup is incomplete, make
+  `/health` return non-200 until you're actually ready.
+- **Mark tests per the CI Levels table** — baseline smoke: `core_model` + `advanced_model`; heavier cases: `advanced_model` only; L4 expansion: `full_model`
+- **No per-model helper modules** — do not create `tests/helpers/{slug}.py`; keep constants and `request_config` payloads in the test file
+- **Online and offline e2e go through `runtime.py`** — `online_client.send_audio_speech_request` (online); `offline_client.send_audio_speech_request` (Qwen-style offline) or `send_single_stage_tts_request` (single-stage offline). Add a new `send_*_request` in `runtime.py` when none fits; do not embed `omni.generate` or HTTP in tests
+
+## Phase 4: Async Chunk (Streaming)
+
+**Goal**: Enable inter-stage streaming so audio chunks are produced while AR generation continues.
+
+### Steps
+
+1. **Update the pipeline topology** so the producing stage declares its async
+   handoff processor with `async_chunk_process_next_stage_input_func`.
+2. **Update the deploy YAML** to enable async chunk and configure the connector:
+   ```yaml
+   async_chunk: true
+
+   connectors:
+     connector_of_shared_memory:
+       name: SharedMemoryConnector
+       extra:
+         codec_streaming: true
+         codec_chunk_frames: 25
+         codec_left_context_frames: 25
+   ```
+3. **Implement chunk handling in Stage 1**:
+   - Accept partial input (chunk of codec codes)
+   - Handle left context for smooth audio boundaries
+   - Return partial audio in `OmniOutput`
+4. **Test streaming**:
+   - Verify audio quality matches non-streaming output
+   - Check for artifacts at chunk boundaries
+   - Measure TTFA (time to first audio)
+5. **Update online serving** to support `stream=true` with PCM output
+
+### Streaming Architecture
+
+```
+Stage 0 (AR)                    Stage 1 (Decoder)
+  |                                |
+  |-- chunk 0 (25 frames) ------> decode -> audio chunk 0 -> client
+  |-- chunk 1 (25 frames) ------> decode -> audio chunk 1 -> client
+  |-- chunk 2 (25 frames) ------> decode -> audio chunk 2 -> client
+  ...
+```
+
+### Key Considerations
+
+- **Left context overlap**: Prevents audible artifacts at chunk boundaries
+- **Hop length matters**: `context_audio_samples = context_frames * hop_length`
+- **First chunk latency**: Can use larger initial chunk for better quality, then smaller chunks
+
+### Deliverables
+
+- Updated pipeline async handoff processor and deploy config with
+  `async_chunk: true`
+- Smooth streaming audio without boundary artifacts
+- TTFA metrics
+
+## Phase 5: CUDA Graph Acceleration
+
+**Goal**: Capture the AR loop as a CUDA graph for significant speedup.
+
+### Steps
+
+1. **Identify the hot loop**: The AR decoding loop that runs N steps per token
+2. **Create static buffers**:
+   - KV caches with fixed max sequence length
+   - Pre-built causal masks and position tensors per step
+   - Static input/output tensors
+3. **Implement graph capture**:
+   - Warm up with real data
+   - Capture the forward pass
+   - Replay with updated inputs
+4. **Handle constraints**:
+   - Use `torch.argmax` instead of `torch.multinomial` (graph-safe)
+   - Fixed batch size (fall back to eager for other sizes)
+   - No dynamic control flow inside the graph
+
+See [references/cuda-graph-example.md](references/cuda-graph-example.md) for
+a worked skeleton (Qwen3-TTS code predictor, 16-step AR loop), performance
+expectations (3–5× on the graphed component for fixed batch_size=1), and the
+graph-safety constraints you must honor inside the captured region.
+
+### Deliverables
+
+- CUDA graph implementation for the AR hot loop
+- Benchmark script comparing eager vs graph performance
+- Documentation of constraints and fallback behavior
+
+## Phase 6: Pre-commit and DCO
+
+**Goal**: Every commit passes `pre-commit` lint and carries a DCO
+`Signed-off-by` line that matches the author email.
+
+- Install hooks once: `pre-commit install`.
+- Run `pre-commit run --files <changed-files>` before every push; accept any
+  auto-fixes, stage, re-commit.
+- Sign every commit with `git commit -s`. DCO checks that author email and
+  `Signed-off-by` email match — `git config user.email` must match your
+  GitHub account email.
+
+Common pre-commit failures, recovery commands for missing sign-off, and the
+full `pre-commit run` invocation for a TTS model:
+[references/precommit-dco.md](references/precommit-dco.md).
+
+## Documentation and recipe
+
+Follow the [`add-recipe` skill](../add-recipe/SKILL.md) to add or update the
+in-repository model-family recipe, the `recipes/README.md` index, the supported
+models table, TTS example documentation, and the speech API contract using
+validated evidence.
+
+## Integration Checklist
+
+Use this checklist when integrating a new TTS model:
+
+### Cross-Cutting Invariants (verify at end of every phase)
+- [ ] I1: `forward()` docstring states cumulative vs delta; consolidation path audited end-to-end

+- [ ] I3: No `.item()` / `.cpu()` / Python branch on tensor values inside per-step loops
+- [ ] I4: Offline RTF, browser streaming playback, and concurrent-request smoke test all pass
+- [ ] I5: Any cross-step cache keyed by `_omni_req_id`; entries freed when the request finishes
+
+### Phase 1: HF Reference
+- [ ] Reference model runs and produces correct audio
+- [ ] Architecture documented (stages, codebooks, tokens, sample rate)
+- [ ] Reference audio samples saved for comparison
+

+# CUDA Graph Example: Qwen3-TTS Code Predictor
+
+Reference sketch for capturing the 16-step code-predictor AR loop as a single
+CUDA graph. Adapt the shapes, number of steps, and KV-head layout to your
+model.
+
+```python
+import torch
+
+class CodePredictorGraph:
+    """Captures the 16-step code predictor AR loop as a single CUDA graph."""
+
+    def setup_graph(self, device: torch.device, kv_heads: int = 4, head_dim: int = 64):
+        self.num_steps = 16
+        self.kv_cache = torch.zeros(1, kv_heads, self.num_steps, head_dim, device=device)
+        self.positions = torch.arange(self.num_steps, device=device)
+        self.causal_mask = torch.tril(torch.ones(self.num_steps, self.num_steps, device=device))
+        self.input_buf = torch.zeros(1, 1, kv_heads * head_dim, device=device)
+        self.output_buf = torch.zeros(1, self.num_steps, device=device, dtype=torch.long)
+        # Warm up, then: self.graph = torch.cuda.CUDAGraph(); self.graph.capture(...)
+
+    def run_graph(self, initial_input: torch.Tensor) -> torch.Tensor:
+        self.input_buf.copy_(initial_input)
+        self.graph.replay()
+        return self.output_buf.clone()
+```
+
+## Performance expectations (Qwen3-TTS code predictor)
+
+- **3–5× speedup** on the graphed component.
+- Effective only for fixed batch sizes (typically `batch_size=1`).
+- Fall back to eager for any shape/config that wasn't captured — do not try
+  to recapture per request.
+
+## Graph-safety constraints
+
+- `torch.argmax` instead of `torch.multinomial`.
+- Fixed batch size.
+- No Python control flow that branches on tensor values inside the captured
+  region (use `torch.where` / masks).
+- No `.item()`, `.cpu()`, `.tolist()` — each would break the capture or
+  cause a GPU→CPU sync during replay.

+# Optional Dependency Handling
+
+Models that rely on `torchaudio`, `torchcodec`, `soundfile`, or other optional
+packages must handle the missing-package case at import time, not at call
+time. Failing to do this causes cryptic errors only on environments without
+the optional package — after the model is already deployed.
+
+## Pattern (used in MOSS-TTS-Nano)
+
+```python
+def _patch_torchaudio_load() -> None:
+    """Fallback torchaudio.load/save to soundfile if torchcodec is unavailable."""
+    try:
+        import torchcodec  # noqa: F401
+        return  # torchcodec present, torchaudio works as-is
+    except ImportError:
+        pass
+
+    import soundfile as sf
+    import torchaudio
+
+    def _sf_load(path, **kwargs):
+        data, sr = sf.read(str(path), dtype="float32", always_2d=True)
+        return torch.from_numpy(data).T, sr
+
+    torchaudio.load = _sf_load
+    # patch .save similarly if needed
+```
+
+## Rules
+
+- Mirror the full signature of the replaced function. `torchaudio.load`
+  accepts `frame_offset`, `num_frames`, `normalize`, `channels_first`,
+  `format` — missing any of them causes `TypeError` from calling code.
+- Catch `except Exception`, not just `ImportError`. `import torchaudio`
+  itself can fail with non-`ImportError` errors on broken installs. Log the
+  exception type and message (`logger.warning("torchaudio probe failed: %s: %s",
+  type(exc).__name__, exc)`) before falling back, so unrelated errors are not
+  silently swallowed.
+- Call the patch function at the top of `load_weights()` before loading any
+  audio assets. Do not call it at module import time.
+
+## Reference implementation
+
+Any in-tree model that patches `torchaudio.load` in its `load_weights()` —
+e.g. MOSS-TTS-Nano's `modeling_moss_tts_nano.py` once that integration
+lands.

+# Single-Stage AR Pattern
+
+When the upstream model cannot be cleanly split into an AR stage and a separate
+decoder (e.g. MOSS-TTS-Nano, or any model that bundles AR + codec via an
+`inference_stream()` generator), run the whole pipeline inside a single AR
+worker that yields audio chunks per request.
+
+This is distinct from VoxCPM2's pattern, which also runs in a single stage but
+uses vLLM's native PagedAttention on the base language model with diffusion /
+VAE side-computation outside vLLM — see
+`plan/voxcpm2_native_ar_design.md` for that variant.
+
+## Implementation
+
+1. **Single model file** — load both AR LM and codec inside
+   `modeling_<model>.py`.
+2. **Load weights in `load_weights()`**, not `__init__()` — vLLM initializes
+   distributed state before any CUDA allocations.
+3. **Stream via a per-request generator** stored in `self._stream_gens`:
+
+```python
+class YourModelForCausalLM(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, *, vllm_config, prefix=""):
+        super().__init__()
+        self._lm = None                   # populated in load_weights()
+        self._stream_gens: dict = {}      # request_key → generator
+
+    def load_weights(self, weights):
+        # Load self._lm here, after vLLM distributed init
+        ...
+
+    def forward(
+        self,
+        input_ids,
+        positions,
+        intermediate_tensors=None,
+        inputs_embeds=None,
+        runtime_additional_information: list[dict] | None = None,  # one dict per request

+        # Skip dummy/profiling calls
+        if not runtime_additional_information or all(i.get("_is_dummy") for i in infos):

+
+        outputs, last_flags = [], []

+        """Yield (waveform_tensor, is_last) tuples from inference_stream()."""
+        for event in self._lm.inference_stream(...):
+            if event["type"] == "audio":
+                yield event["waveform"], False
+            elif event["type"] == "result":
+                # Fallback: some models emit a single "result" event instead of
+                # incremental "audio" events — handle both paths
+                yield event.get("waveform", torch.zeros(0)), True

+        yield torch.zeros(0), True

+        ...
+```
+
+## Key points
+
+- `runtime_additional_information` is the correct parameter name (not
+  `**kwargs`) — it carries one dict per request in the batch.
+- The request ID is `info.get("_omni_req_id")` — set by vLLM, not by user code.
+- Handle both `"audio"` (incremental) and `"result"` (final combined) event
+  types from upstream models.
+
+## Pipeline and deploy config
+
+Define the fixed single-stage topology in `pipeline.py`:
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.config.stage_config import (
+    PipelineConfig,
+    StageExecutionType,
+    StagePipelineConfig,
+)
+
+YOUR_TTS_PIPELINE = PipelineConfig(
+    model_type="your_model_name",
+    default_deploy_config_name="your_model_name.yaml",
+    model_arch="YourModelForCausalLM",
+    stages=(
+        StagePipelineConfig(
+            stage_id=0,
+            model_stage="your_model_name",
+            execution_type=StageExecutionType.LLM_AR,
+            input_sources=(),
+            owns_tokenizer=True,
+            engine_output_type="audio",
+            final_output=True,
+            final_output_type="audio",
+        ),
+    ),
+)
+```
+
+Register it in `vllm_omni/config/pipeline_registry.py`. Keep placement and
+runtime sizing in `vllm_omni/deploy/your_model_name.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+async_chunk: false
+
+stages:
+  - stage_id: 0
+    devices: "0"
+    max_num_seqs: 4
+    gpu_memory_utilization: 0.8
+```
+
+Do not move `execution_type`, output ownership, tokenizer ownership, or model
+architecture into the deploy YAML; those are pipeline topology.
+
+## Lint discipline
+
+Only extract variables from `additional_information` that you actually
+forward to the model call — unused extractions trip `ruff F841` in
+pre-commit.
+
+## Reference implementation
+
+Use `vllm_omni/model_executor/models/moss_tts_nano/pipeline.py` and
+`vllm_omni/deploy/moss_tts_nano.yaml` as the in-tree reference.

+description: Diagnose and optimize vLLM Omni diffusion workloads, especially Wan/Qwen/Flux-style image and video generation. Use when Codex is asked to analyze profiling traces, choose parallel strategies, inspect torch profiler trace.json or trace.json.gz timelines, estimate optimization ROI, investigate GPU idle/free bubbles, compare USP/CFG/HSDP/VAE parallelism, or design operator/host/quantization optimizations for vLLM Omni.
+---
+
+# vLLM Omni Performance Optimization
+
+Use this skill to run a disciplined optimization loop for vLLM Omni diffusion workloads. Keep two ideas separate: real performance baselines are collected with low overhead, while torch profiler traces are diagnostic artifacts and may distort latency.
+
+## First Questions
+
+Before proposing changes, ask for the optimization scene if it is not already known:
+
+- GPU model, card count, topology, and whether NVLink is present.
+- Model and pipeline, for example Wan2.2 I2V A14B.
+- User workload: resolution, frames, steps, batch/concurrency, CFG scales, prompt/image inputs.
+- Three runnable commands for each model/workload, or scripts that generate them:
+  - **Server startup command**: exact `vllm serve` command, environment variables, model path, port, parallelism flags, profiler flags, and precision/compile settings.
+  - **User request command**: exact single-request client command (for example curl or Python client) with fixed prompt/media/seed/size/steps. Use this to validate correctness and collect per-request stage timings.
+  - **User benchmark command**: exact repeatable benchmark command or script with warmup count, measured iteration count, concurrency/batch policy, output directory, and summary format.
+- Current enabled strategies: USP/SP, CFG parallel, HSDP/FSDP, VAE patch parallel, torch.compile, profiler options.
+- Optimization target: latency, throughput, memory, cost, or quality-preserving speed.
+- Precision/quality tolerance: bf16/fp8/quantization/sparsity/approximate attention allowed or not.
+- Quality validation method: exact-output comparison when feasible, or metrics
+  such as SSIM, PSNR, LPIPS, cosine similarity, MAE, MSE, temporal flicker
+  checks, baseline self-run variance, and reviewable output artifacts.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Freeze the measurement protocol and commands.**
+   - Before analyzing parallel strategies or traces, establish the three commands for the target model/workload: server startup, single user request, and user benchmark.
+   - Prefer checked-in scripts or one-off shell scripts over free-form commands in chat. The scripts should make workload variables explicit, including model path, port/base URL, prompt/media inputs, resolution, frames, steps, seed, warmup, measured iterations, concurrency, and output path.
+   - Measurement reports must preserve the concrete process, not just the final numbers. For each tested configuration, write down the server startup command, the user request command, the user benchmark command or polling loop, the final server response metrics, and the client-side timing/HTTP result.
+   - Present all duration and latency values in **milliseconds (ms)** in tables and summaries. If an API returns seconds, convert to ms before reporting. Keep raw units only inside quoted raw logs or source snippets.
+   - Keep profiler modes separate in the command set:
+     - Baseline/benchmark commands should avoid torch profiler and stack collection.
+     - Diagnostic commands may enable torch profiler after a baseline identifies a bottleneck.
+   - If any of the three commands is missing, ask for it or create a proposed script before proceeding.
+   - Make clear which command is authoritative for correctness validation and which command is authoritative for performance numbers.
+
+2. **Collect a real baseline.**
+   - Disable PyTorch profiler and stack collection.
+   - Disable or fix torch.compile state so A/B is fair.
+   - Avoid `--enforce-eager` for production-speed baselines unless eager is the target.
+   - Prefer `--log-stats` and `--enable-diffusion-pipeline-profiler` for low-overhead stage timing. PR 3069 has the relevant metrics/log-stats changes; if local code does not include them, fetch or cherry-pick the minimal metrics changes rather than merging unrelated PR drift.
+   - Run warmup requests and exclude first-request lazy init.
+
+3. **Model the parallel strategy before testing.**
+   - Estimate compute and communication for self-attention, cross-attention, FFN, CFG, VAE encode/decode, and HSDP.
+   - Select a small candidate matrix rather than exhaustively testing everything.
+   - Typical 2-card candidates: `USP=2`, `CFG=2`, `USP=1/HSDP on-off`, VAE parallel on-off if memory allows.
+   - Typical 4-card candidates: `USP=4`, `CFG=2 x USP=2`, `USP=2 x HSDP`, VAE parallel on-off.
+   - Typical 8-card candidates for official CFG-enabled video diffusion models:
+     - Primary candidate: `CFG=2 x USP=4` with VAE patch parallel across all 8 ranks.
+     - Compare against: `CFG=1 x USP=8` to test whether larger sequence parallel groups beat CFG branch parallelism.
+     - Isolate VAE parallelism: keep the DiT strategy fixed and compare VAE patch parallel on/off or different VAE patch sizes.
+     - If long-video `diffuse` remains dominant and Ulysses all-to-all is suspected, test a hybrid sequence strategy such as `CFG=2 x USP=2 x Ring=2`.
+     - Test HSDP off only if the model fits without it; treat HSDP primarily as a memory strategy until A/B proves otherwise.
+   - Prefer USP/SP for long video token sequences; prefer CFG parallel when CFG doubles transformer forwards and sequence length is modest.
+   - Convert workload shape to latent/patch token counts before choosing candidates. For video models, record frames, latent frames, latent HxW, patch size, approximate token count, and which stages should scale with the token count.
+
+4. **Search for the best parallel configuration.**
+   - Start with a small matrix that answers one question per comparison:
+     - `CFG parallel vs larger USP`: compare `CFG=2 x USP=world/2` against `CFG=1 x USP=world` for CFG-enabled workloads.
+     - `VAE patch parallel value`: compare the best DiT strategy with VAE patch parallel enabled and disabled.
+     - `HSDP cost`: compare HSDP on/off only when both configurations fit memory.
+     - `Ulysses vs Ring`: test a Ring/Ulysses hybrid only after long-sequence `diffuse` is confirmed dominant.
+   - For each configuration, create or record a stable config id, for example `A_cfg2_usp4_vaepp8_hsdp_tiling`.
+   - For each config id, capture:
+     - exact server command and environment variables,
+     - observed distributed setup from logs, such as SP groups, CFG groups, HSDP shard/replicate sizes, VAE patch size,
+     - exact request command for every scenario,
+     - final server response metrics and client-side elapsed time,
+     - output artifact paths and any failed/empty responses.
+   - Use one warmup request per scenario, then at least three measured repeats for the shortlisted config. For exploratory matrix pruning, one measured request is acceptable only if the margin is large; label it as one-shot.
+   - Compare configurations by stage, not only end-to-end latency. A configuration can improve `diffuse` while hurting `vae.decode`; record both effects.
+   - Select the best config only after checking the target metric, dominant stages, memory headroom, and output correctness.
+
+5. **Run targeted A/B tests.**
+   - Change one variable per test.
+   - Keep model, input, seed, request parameters, GPU placement, and warmup policy fixed.
+   - Record latency, stage timings, memory, output quality, and logs.
+   - Report comparison tables in ms. Include at least end-to-end client time, server `inference_time`, server stage generation time if available, `vae.encode`, `diffuse`, `vae.decode`, and peak memory.
+
+6. **Enforce the quality and precision gate for every optimization.**
+   - Do not mark an optimization ready until quality is checked on the same
+     workload: model, prompt/media, seed, shape, steps, scheduler, dtype,
+     backend, parallelism, and output encoding.
+   - For math-preserving changes, require exact/near-exact agreement or show
+     that differences are within baseline self-run variance.
+   - For precision, quantization, approximate attention, sparse/custom kernels,
+     or backend changes, include reviewable artifacts and metrics such as SSIM,
+     PSNR, LPIPS, cosine similarity, MAE, MSE, and temporal flicker checks.
+   - If quality tolerance is not stated, default to quality-preserving behavior.
+     Failed or inconclusive quality validation blocks a ready-to-merge claim.
+
+7. **Collect diagnostic trace only after narrowing hypotheses.**
+   - Use torch profiler for a small number of requests.
+   - Run two separate diagnostic traces instead of mixing concerns:
+     - **Operator/shape trace**: enable `torch_profiler_record_shapes=True` and keep stack collection disabled. Use this to rank CUDA kernels, NCCL collectives, attention/MLP/norm/RoPE work, and shape-specific hot operators.
+     - **Host-stack trace**: enable `torch_profiler_with_stack=True` and normally keep shape collection disabled. Use this to map CPU/Python host gaps, synchronization points, scheduler paths, and request handling overhead.
+   - Keep both trace commands and reports separate from baseline/benchmark commands. Torch profiler latency is diagnostic only and must not be used as the final latency claim.
+   - Prefer profiling only the narrowed dominant scenario, for example the highest-resolution/video-length case where `diffuse` dominates.
+   - If profiler endpoints are available, run one warmup request first, then call `/start_profile`, run one profiled request, and call `/stop_profile`. This keeps model initialization and warmup out of the diagnostic trace.
+   - Start by analyzing rank 0 only. Expand to more ranks only if rank 0 suggests imbalance, unclear GPU idle/free bubbles, high NCCL wait, server timing mismatch, CFG branch imbalance, or USP group stragglers.
+   - Diagnostic reports must be written to disk and preserve: server command, profiler config, warmup/request/polling commands, trace artifact paths, rank analyzed, analyzer output or summary, and the decision about whether additional ranks are necessary.
+   - Analyze both rank-level balance and device-level free bubbles when additional ranks are opened.
+
+8. **Analyze host, communication, and operators.**
+   - Find GPU idle/free intervals and map each large gap to the enclosing CPU/Python code.
+   - Separate real GPU idle from profiler overhead such as CUPTI `Command Buffer Full`.
+   - Compare NCCL kernel time to user annotations; annotations can overcount nested intervals.
+   - Rank operator work by total CUDA time and by repeated small-kernel launch count.
+
+9. **Produce an optimization plan.**
+   - Classify candidates as P0/P1/P2.
+   - For each candidate, state necessity, expected benefit, implementation path, validation plan, and quality risk.
+   - Include a concrete quality/precision validation gate for each candidate.
+   - Do not implement high-risk operator rewrites before proving the operator is a bottleneck for the target shapes.
+   - End the plan with a user-facing candidate selection table. The assistant
+     should not automatically choose a risky optimization just because it is
+     technically possible. Present the options clearly and let the user decide
+     which item is worth implementing based on latency target, engineering
+     budget, memory headroom, and quality tolerance.
+   - Organize the plan by optimization layer, not by a flat list of ideas:
+     - host/runtime optimization,
+     - measurement/benchmark reliability,
+     - parallelism and communication,
+     - VAE encode/decode and media pre/post processing,
+     - operator fusion and layout cleanup,
+     - attention main-path optimization,
+     - algorithmic, precision, or approximation changes.
+   - For each layer, tie every candidate back to evidence from baseline
+     metrics, diagnostic trace, source code, or output quality requirements.
+     Do not list generic optimizations without a trace or workload reason.
+
+## Priority Rules
+
+- **P0:** low risk, likely useful, or required for trustworthy measurement. Examples: real baseline, warmup, targeted parallel A/B, disabling avoidable `empty_cache`, scheduler coefficient caching.
+- **P1:** meaningful code changes with contained risk. Examples: cross-attention KV caching, VAE gather/broadcast reduction, AdaLayerNorm/RMSNorm/RoPE fusion after trace evidence.
+- **P2:** high implementation or quality risk. Examples: FA to LA replacement, custom Triton/CUDA fused kernels, FP8/quantization, sparsity/Rainfusion-style acceleration.
+
+Every implemented optimization needs A/B validation and a passing
+quality/precision gate, including math-preserving changes such as padding trim,
+layout cleanup, cache reuse, or host/runtime cleanup. Use objective metrics
+when available, keep reviewable artifacts, and compare against baseline
+self-run variance for precision, quantization, approximate kernels, or backend
+changes. If quality validation fails or is inconclusive, do not present the
+optimization as ready to merge.
+
+## Optimization Layers
+
+After baseline, parallel-search, and diagnostic traces, summarize optimization
+opportunities by layer. This is the core of the performance analysis: the goal
+is to connect evidence to a scoped implementation and a validation plan.
+
+### Host and Runtime Optimization
+
+Purpose: remove CPU/Python stalls, synchronization points, allocator overhead,
+and request-path overhead that leave GPU lanes empty.
+
+Evidence to look for:
+
+- High `idle_pct` or large `GAP` blocks in `trace_analyzer.py`.
+- Host-stack trace lines such as `torch.cuda.empty_cache`,
+  `cudaStreamSynchronize`, `cudaDeviceSynchronize`, Python locks, scheduler
+  waits, image/video preprocessing, or repeated small allocation paths.
+- Difference between client wall-clock time and server `inference_time_s`.
+
+Typical candidates:
+
+- Make avoidable `torch.cuda.empty_cache()` optional or guard it by memory
+  headroom.
+- Cache scheduler coefficients, timesteps, masks, or other tiny repeated CPU
+  computations when the request shape/steps are fixed.
+- Remove avoidable host-device synchronizations and blocking logging/stat calls.
+- Move expensive preprocessing out of the critical path or cache fixed prompt,
+  image, and transform work for benchmark scenarios.
+- Ensure benchmark scripts record client-side elapsed time, HTTP status, output
+  path, and server response metrics.
+
+Priority guidance:
+
+- Usually P0 when the change is measurement reliability or an obvious removable
+  synchronization.
+- Usually P1 when it changes scheduling, memory lifetime, or request execution
+  order.
+
+Validation:
+
+- Re-run non-profiler baseline with same workload and seed.
+- Confirm peak memory headroom if disabling cache cleanup.
+- Confirm generated output exists and quality/seed behavior is unchanged.
+
+### Parallelism and Communication Optimization
+
+Purpose: choose the right decomposition for CFG branches, sequence tokens, model
+weights, VAE tiles, and rank topology.
+
+Evidence to look for:
+
+- Baseline A/B across `CFG`, `USP/SP`, `Ring`, `HSDP/FSDP`, and VAE patch
+  parallelism.
+- Stage timing shifts: `diffuse`, `vae.encode`, `vae.decode`, and server
+  end-to-end.
+- NCCL kernel time from trace, not only `user_annotation` time.
+- Rank imbalance across SP group ranks or CFG branch ranks.
+- Memory headroom and OOM risk.
+
+Typical candidates:
+
+- `CFG=2 x USP=world/2` versus `CFG=1 x USP=world` for CFG-enabled models.
+- VAE patch parallel on/off or patch size tuning.
+- HSDP/FSDP on/off only if both configurations fit memory.
+- Ulysses versus Ulysses+Ring only after long-sequence `diffuse` is confirmed
+  dominant and all-to-all is suspected.
+- Rank mapping/topology changes if all-rank traces show stragglers or NCCL wait.
+- Buffer reuse or preallocation for FSDP/HSDP all-gather paths.
+
+Priority guidance:
+
+- P0/P1 for configuration-only changes with strong measured wins.
+- P1 for buffer reuse or rank mapping changes.
+- P2 for invasive distributed algorithm changes.
+
+Validation:
+
+- Measure by stage and memory, not only end-to-end.
+- Use one-variable A/B with identical prompt/media/seed/shape/steps.
+- When communication is suspected, compare rank0-3 in one USP group and rank0
+  versus rank4 across CFG branches for `CFG=2 x USP=4`.
+
+### VAE and Media Pipeline Optimization
+
+Purpose: reduce encode/decode, tiling, split/gather, and media conversion time.
+
+Evidence to look for:
+
+- Large `vae.encode` or `vae.decode` in low-overhead stage timings.
+- Host-stack gaps in VAE tile split, gather, merge, broadcast, or image/video
+  transforms.
+- VAE kernels or cuDNN convolution in operator trace.
+- Whether every rank needs the final decoded tensor.
+
+Typical candidates:
+
+- Keep VAE patch parallel enabled when it has clear measured benefit.
+- Reduce VAE gather/broadcast to only ranks that need the final media output.
+- Reuse tile metadata, split buffers, or gather buffers.
+- Evaluate bf16/autocast behavior for VAE only with visual quality checks.
+- Avoid redundant image conversion, resize, or tensor construction in repeated
+  benchmark runs.
+
+Priority guidance:
+
+- P0/P1 if VAE is a large share of the target workload or if a host gap is
+  obvious and low risk.
+- Lower priority when `diffuse` dominates and VAE is already patch-parallelized.
+
+Validation:
+
+- Compare `vae.encode`, `vae.decode`, server end-to-end, and peak memory.
+- Check output video integrity, artifacts, flicker, and seed stability.
+
+### Operator Fusion and Layout Cleanup
+
+Purpose: reduce high-frequency small kernels, memory bandwidth pressure, layout
+conversions, and launch overhead in transformer and VAE blocks.
+
+Evidence to look for:
+
+- Top operator tables showing many `aten::copy_`, `aten::cat`,
+  `split_with_sizes_copy`, `aten::add`, `aten::mul`, `aten::div`, norm,
+  activation, RoPE, or reshape/layout kernels.
+- `ops_rankN.xlsx` `by_shape` sheet showing repeated small shapes inside the
+  same block path.
+- Trace lanes showing many short kernels between larger GEMM/attention kernels.
+- Source code patterns with repeated elementwise chains or layout conversions.
+
+Typical fusion targets:
+
+- AdaLayerNorm / RMSNorm / LayerNorm plus scale/shift fusion.
+- RoPE fusion with Q/K layout preparation when shapes are stable.
+- Residual add, scale, gate, and elementwise chains.
+- MLP gate/up/down cleanup, such as fusing activation and multiply around
+  GEMM outputs when feasible.
+- QKV projection and reshape/split/cat path cleanup.
+- Attention pre/post layout cleanup to avoid unnecessary copies, cats, and
+  splits around sequence parallel all-to-all.
+
+Priority guidance:
+
+- P1 when implemented with existing PyTorch/Triton/local helper patterns and
+  validated against exact outputs or tolerances.
+- P2 when it requires custom CUDA/Triton kernels, changes numerics, or touches
+  attention math directly.
+
+Validation:
+
+- First prove the operator family is material for the target shape.
+- Use non-profiler A/B for latency and stage timing.
+- Use quality regression checks for generated video stability.
+- Check compile behavior and graph breaks if using `torch.compile`.
+
+### Attention Main-Path Optimization
+
+Purpose: address the dominant self-attention cost when FlashAttention or other
+attention kernels dominate CUDA time.
+
+Evidence to look for:
+
+- Operator trace where FlashAttention/SDPA kernels dominate total CUDA time.
+- Attention shape from `ops_rankN.xlsx` `by_shape`, model code, or trace
+  metadata.
+- Whether attention cost scales with latent frames, latent H/W, patch size, or
+  CFG duplication.
+- Layout/copy/all-to-all work around attention.
+
+Typical candidates:
+
+- Verify the attention backend and shape are on the intended fast kernel path.
+- Compare supported attention backends only with identical workload and quality
+  settings.
+- Reduce attention input size by safe model/config choices when allowed:
+  latent resolution, frame count, patching, boundary ratio, or windowing.
+- Remove avoidable layout conversions before/after attention.
+- Reuse condition-side KV or other static inputs if the model structure allows.
+- Consider custom kernels, sparse/window/linear attention, or approximation only
+  after quality risk is accepted.
+
+Priority guidance:
+
+- P1 for backend/config/layout changes with preserved math.
+- P2 for approximate attention, sparsity, custom kernels, or any change that can
+  alter quality/temporal consistency.
+
+Validation:
+
+- Always include output quality and seed behavior checks.
+- Compare `diffuse`, server end-to-end, peak memory, and attention kernel time
+  in diagnostic traces if needed.
+
+### Algorithmic, Precision, and Approximation Optimization
+
+Purpose: reduce mathematical work or precision cost beyond local code cleanup.
+
+Evidence to look for:
+
+- A single operator family dominates even after low-risk runtime, parallel, and
+  fusion work.
+- Memory bandwidth or compute utilization suggests precision or quantization
+  could matter.
+- The user explicitly allows quality-preserving or approximate methods.
+
+Typical candidates:
+
+- FP8/quantization for transformer or selected projections.
+- Sparsity or Rainfusion-style acceleration.
+- Reduced steps, scheduler changes, distillation, or caching across frames.
+- Approximate attention or linear attention.
+
+Priority guidance:
+
+- Usually P2 because quality, numerics, and implementation risk are high.
+
+Validation:
+
+- Requires strict A/B, visual quality review, temporal flicker checks, seed
+  stability, and possibly human evaluation.
+
+### Interpolation, Super-Resolution, and E2E Pipeline Optimization
+
+Purpose: optimize the whole user-visible video product, not only the base
+diffusion invocation. Some deployments trade base-model latency against
+post-processing, interpolation, or super-resolution stages.
+
+Evidence to look for:
+
+- E2E latency breakdown across base generation, interpolation, super-resolution,
+  encoding, storage, and response streaming.
+- Fast/slow GPU or fast/slow stage analysis across multiple cards and pipeline
+  stages.
+- User quality target: resolution, FPS, temporal smoothness, and acceptable
+  post-processing artifacts.
+
+Typical candidates:
+
+- Add or optimize a frame interpolation stage when it reduces required base
+  model frames for the same perceived FPS.
+- Add or optimize a super-resolution model when generating lower base
+  resolution plus SR is faster for the target quality.
+- Analyze E2E2 pipeline behavior: client request, service scheduling, diffusion,
+  VAE/media, post-process, file write, and response.
+- Identify fast/slow cards or stages and rebalance pipeline placement.
+
+Priority guidance:
+
+- P1 when using proven interpolation/SR components without changing diffusion
+  math.
+- P2 when quality risk is high or the pipeline adds significant operational
+  complexity.
+
+Validation:
+
+- Measure E2E wall-clock, per-stage server timings, output FPS/resolution,
+  artifacts, flicker, and user-visible quality.
+

+### Optimization Plan Template
+
+Use this table shape when reporting the next work items:
+
+| Priority | Layer | Candidate | Evidence | Expected benefit | Implementation path | Validation | Quality risk |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| P0 | Host/runtime | Guard `empty_cache` | Host-stack gap points to `torch.cuda.empty_cache` | Small latency reduction, less idle | Add config/env guard | Non-profiler A/B, memory check | Low |
+| P1 | Operator fusion | RMSNorm/AdaLayerNorm fusion | High-frequency norm/elementwise kernels | Lower launch/bandwidth overhead | Use existing fusion helper or targeted Triton | A/B + output check | Medium |
+| P1/P2 | Attention | Attention layout/backend investigation | FA kernel dominates CUDA time | Potentially large | Inspect shapes/backend and remove layout copies | A/B + trace + quality | Medium/high |
+
+Then present a short selection prompt using the same rows:
+
+```text
+Which candidate should we implement next?
+
+1. P0 Host/runtime: guard empty_cache
+   - Expected benefit: small but low-risk latency reduction.
+   - Risk: possible memory increase/OOM if memory headroom is insufficient.
+
+2. P1 Operator fusion: inspect by_shape and implement first norm/RoPE/layout fusion
+   - Expected benefit: medium if high-frequency small kernels are confirmed.
+   - Risk: numerical/compile/quality validation needed.
+
+3. P1/P2 Attention: FA/LA/backend/layout investigation
+   - Expected benefit: potentially large.
+   - Risk: high quality and implementation risk.
+```
+
+If the user has not chosen an item, default to explaining tradeoffs and asking
+which candidate to execute. Only proceed autonomously on low-risk P0 measurement
+or instrumentation fixes.
+
+## Analysis Helpers
+
+PyTorch profiler traces are Chrome/Perfetto-compatible JSON files, usually
+`trace_rankN.json` or `trace_rankN.json.gz`. They normally contain a top-level
+`traceEvents` list, though some exporters emit the raw event list directly.
+
+Use the checked-in analyzer from the repository root:
+
+```bash
+python3 .claude/skills/diffusion-perf-opt/scripts/trace_analyzer.py \
+  vllm_profile/.../trace_rank0.json.gz \
+  --min-gap-ms 5 \
+  --topn 20
+```
+
+For rank imbalance or communication questions, pass all relevant rank traces in
+one command. For host gaps, lower `--min-gap-ms` to `1` and use a host-stack
+trace. Read `gpu_span_s`, `busy_union_s`, `idle_union_s`, `idle_pct`, `GAP`
+blocks, `Top GPU/operator events by total duration`, and `Top NCCL-like events
+by category`. Treat `cat=user_annotation` NCCL ranges as enclosing annotations;
+prefer `cat=kernel` or `cat=gpu_user_annotation` for real device work.
+
+The analyzer summarizes timing only. It does not parse tensor shapes, attribute
+overlap to individual streams, prove quality, or provide final latency claims.
+Use `ops_rankN.xlsx` or PyTorch key averages for shape analysis, and re-test any
+optimization with non-profiler baseline commands.
+
+Read `references/optimization-playbook.md` when drafting the optimization table or comparing candidate techniques.
+
+## vLLM Omni Heuristics
+
+- Cross-attention usually should not use USP/SP when text/image condition token count is much smaller than latent video tokens. Confirm via trace; in Wan2.2 I2V, self-attention dominates cross-attention.
+- VAE bf16/autocast is often worthwhile but requires visual quality checks.
+- VAE patch parallel can help decode/encode but may add gather/merge/broadcast overhead. Check whether all ranks need the final decoded tensor.
+- HSDP/FSDP is primarily a memory strategy. If the model fits without it, run an on/off latency comparison.
+- Scheduler work can create small host/device gaps; cache tiny solve coefficients when timesteps/order are known.
+- `torch.cuda.empty_cache()` can prevent OOM but creates synchronization/idle. Make it optional if memory headroom is sufficient.
+- `Command Buffer Full` in profiler output is profiler overhead, not a model optimization target.

+# Optimization Playbook
+
+Use this reference when turning trace evidence into prioritized vLLM Omni optimizations.
+
+## Parallel Strategy
+
+Start from workload shape:
+
+- Long video tokens, high resolution, many frames: self-attention and FFN dominate. USP/SP is usually valuable.
+- CFG enabled with positive and negative prompts: transformer forward count doubles. CFG parallel may beat USP on small/moderate sequence lengths.
+- Cross-attention: skip SP/USP when condition tokens are much smaller than latent tokens; extra all-to-all can exceed compute saved.
+- HSDP/FSDP: use to fit memory first. If memory allows, compare without HSDP because all-gathers and lazy init add overhead.
+- VAE parallel: useful when encode/decode is material. Check gather/merge/broadcast and whether every rank needs final decoded output.
+
+Candidate matrices:
+
+- 2 cards: `USP=2`, `CFG=2`, HSDP on/off, VAE PP on/off.
+- 4 cards: `USP=4`, `CFG=2 x USP=2`, `USP=2 x HSDP`, VAE PP on/off.
+- 8 cards: add pipeline/stage parallel only after measuring orchestration and inter-stage transfer overhead.
+
+## Host And Free Bubble Analysis
+
+Look for device intervals where no kernel, memcpy, or memset is active.
+
+Common causes:
+
+- First request FSDP/HSDP lazy init.
+- Python preprocessing: image load, resize, `to_tensor`, tokenizer, request marshaling.
+- `torch.cuda.empty_cache()` or explicit synchronizations.
+- Scheduler small linear algebra such as tiny `torch.linalg.solve`.
+- VAE tile split/merge Python loops.
+- Profiler overhead such as CUPTI command buffer flush/full.
+
+Also inspect trace-external time:
+
+- API request parsing and multipart upload.
+- Engine/orchestrator dispatch.
+- Worker RPC and queue wait.
+- Output serialization, video write, base64, HTTP response.
+
+## Operator Optimization Candidates
+
+Evaluate necessity before implementation:
+
+- **FA to LA / LA for head:** high potential only if attention is the main CUDA hotspot and target shapes fit LA well.
+- **Cross-attention BSND/no transpose:** do only if transpose/copy around cross-attn is measurable.
+- **AdaLayerNorm fusion:** fuse norm, scale/shift, gate, residual, and dtype conversion if repeated elementwise kernels are significant.
+- **RMSNorm fusion:** useful for Q/K norms and VAE norms when small-kernel launch count is high.
+- **FP32 LayerNorm to bf16:** quality-sensitive; run visual regression.
+- **LA preprocess:** integrate only if preprocess overhead is cached or amortized.
+- **RoPE move/cache/fuse:** useful when RoPE small kernels are visible around every self-attn block.
+- **VAE RMSNorm replacement:** only after VAE internal trace shows norm as a real component of decode/encode.
+- **Scheduler fusion/cache:** cache coefficient solves and fuse CFG combine with scheduler arithmetic when possible.
+
+Before writing a custom kernel, check:
+
+- Local vLLM Omni implementations.
+- Upstream vLLM kernels and attention backends.
+- SGLang, FlashInfer, FlashAttention, and Triton examples.
+- Shape constraints and layout expectations.
+
+## Quantization And Sparsity
+
+Treat these as high-risk optimizations:
+
+- Rainfusion/sparse diffusion can be high reward but needs model-specific quality validation.
+- VAE decode quantization can reduce decode time but usually has smaller end-to-end upside than transformer attention/FFN work.
+- FP8 or approximate kernels require seed-stable visual regression, temporal flicker checks, and prompt diversity.
+
+## Output Format For Recommendations
+
+Return a table with:
+
+- Priority: P0/P1/P2.
+- Optimization.
+- Evidence from trace or code.
+- Expected benefit.
+- Risk/quality impact.
+- Implementation path.
+- Validation command or A/B test.
+
+State clearly when a recommendation is a hypothesis requiring new trace with shapes.

+name: find-simplifications
+description: Find evidence-backed simplification candidates in vLLM-Omni and, when requested, turn them into focused proposals or code changes. Use for audits of dead, duplicated, speculative, over-generalized, unnecessarily defensive, or hand-rolled code. Use review-pr for ordinary correctness review and diffusion-perf-opt for performance-first optimization.
+---
+
+# Find vLLM-Omni Simplifications
+
+Find a small number of well-proven ways to reduce code, state, APIs, or maintenance cost without weakening supported behavior. Treat this as an architecture and ownership audit, not a dead-code search or style cleanup.
+
+The default deliverable is a read-only report. Do not add TODOs, design documents, issues, or code unless the user asks for those changes.
+
+## Establish the Contract
+
+Before judging a candidate:
+
+1. Read the repository instructions supplied by the host.
+2. Read [`docs/design/architecture_overview.md`](../../../docs/design/architecture_overview.md).
+3. Select only the relevant active module and feature documents from [`docs/design/index.md`](../../../docs/design/index.md). Archived design pages are historical context, not current contracts.
+4. Identify the comparison base with `git merge-base HEAD origin/main`; do not assume the current branch represents the intended baseline.
+5. If tests or CI coverage may change, use [`vllm-omni-test`](../vllm-omni-test/SKILL.md) for test placement, markers, and commands.
+
+Separate an implementation accident from an intentional boundary. In particular:
+
+- vLLM-Omni extends and sometimes overrides upstream vLLM. A similar upstream implementation is evidence for reuse only after comparing API, lifecycle, and multi-stage semantics.
+- Registries, import strings, model configuration, deployment YAML, plugins, and optional dependencies create dynamic consumers that a static reference count can miss.
+- Hardware backends, model families, execution modes, and connector implementations may be intentionally parallel. Do not propose collapsing one only because it is inactive in the local environment.
+- Stage, replica, request, cache, and transport state can look redundant while representing different owners. Prove that two fields or barriers encode the same fact before merging them.
+- A shorter hot path is not a simplification if it adds synchronization, tensor copies, host materialization, recompilation, or a measurable quality/performance regression.
+
+## Strong Candidates
+
+A strong candidate removes a meaningful surface and has a clear replacement or deletion boundary. Examples include:
+
+- A public method, configuration option, registry entry, route, message field, or event has no production consumer and no compatibility obligation.
+- Tests or documentation are the only consumers of behavior that is not part of a supported contract.
+- Multiple layers mirror the same request, lifecycle, cache-validity, readiness, or topology state.
+- AR, diffusion, platform, or model-specific implementations duplicate a stable common operation and can share it without hiding performance-critical differences.
+- An inherited upstream vLLM primitive is reimplemented locally without an Omni-specific semantic difference.
+- Compatibility or fallback branches protect environments the project no longer supports.
+- Serialization, IPC, output formatting, or connector code materializes the same payload more than once or converts between equivalent representations.
+- A helper, abstraction, package split, or extension point has only one real implementation and adds more indirection than policy.
+- Hand-written infrastructure can be replaced by an existing project dependency, Python standard-library feature, PyTorch primitive, or upstream vLLM facility with net deletion and equal observability.
+- Tests maintain large mocks, snapshots, or expected data solely for an unused API or representation.
+
+Do not elevate typo fixes, formatting, isolated renames, or vague complexity complaints into simplification candidates. Bundle small cleanups only when they support one substantive removal.
+
+## Survey by Ownership Boundary
+
+For broad audits, cover the largest or riskiest production deltas first. Useful domains are:
+
+- `vllm_omni/engine/`: orchestration, stage pools, request state, output convergence, cancellation, and replica lifecycle.
+- `vllm_omni/worker/` and AR model execution: upstream vLLM overlays, scheduler/cache state, collective RPC, adapters, and weight loading.
+- `vllm_omni/diffusion/`: request/step execution, batching, output materialization, IPC, offload, parallelism, and model pipelines.
+- `vllm_omni/entrypoints/`: duplicated validation/defaulting, offline/online parity, streaming, and route compatibility.
+- Connectors and distributed code: ownership, copies, barriers, handles, cleanup, and failure propagation across process/device/node boundaries.
+- Platform backends: genuine vendor differences versus copied control flow that has drifted.
+- Configuration, registries, recipes, and examples: duplicate sources of truth and options that never reach a runtime consumer.
+- Tests and CI: redundant fixtures, mocks of obsolete contracts, and expensive coverage that can move to a cheaper level without losing the guarded behavior.
+
+When the user explicitly requests a repository-wide or many-candidate audit and parallel agent work is available and authorized, divide these domains among agents and require the same evidence format from each. Otherwise survey them sequentially.
+
+## Prove or Reject Each Candidate
+
+Use `rg` first, then read every relevant caller and implementation. Search exact Python symbols plus serialized names, route paths, configuration keys, registry strings, YAML values, and CLI spellings.
+
+Classify evidence:
+
+- **Production:** `vllm_omni/`, runtime configuration, registries, serving entrypoints, connectors, recipes used for supported deployments, and executable loader paths.
+- **Validation/support:** `tests/`, benchmarks, examples, docs, CI, and developer tooling.
+- **External/dynamic:** upstream vLLM contracts, third-party plugins, model repositories, optional backends, and string-loaded objects. State what was checked and what remains unknown.
+
+For each candidate, answer:
+
+1. What exact surface would disappear or merge?
+2. Who owns the state or behavior today?
+3. Which production consumers exist, including dynamic consumers?
+4. What supported behavior, compatibility, performance, memory, or observability could change?
+5. What is the smallest validation that would catch a bad simplification?
+6. Is the result net deletion after tests, adapters, migration glue, and documentation are counted?
+
+Reject or downgrade the candidate when a live consumer exists and removal is actually a feature decision; when an active design contract explains the separation; when the change only moves complexity; or when hardware/model evidence is unavailable for a performance-sensitive claim.
+
+## Lifecycle and Data-Movement Audits
+
+For asynchronous or distributed code, map the ownership graph before recommending deletion:
+
+```text
+request admission -> orchestrator -> stage/replica -> worker/device
+  -> connector or IPC boundary -> output aggregation -> terminal cleanup
+```
+
+Associate every lock, event, sentinel, queue, readiness flag, timeout, abort path, and cache marker with an owner and transition. Coalesce mechanisms only when they represent the same state and have the same failure boundary. Preserve separate mechanisms when they protect publication versus rollback, local versus remote ownership, first-terminal-outcome arbitration, or cleanup after partial failure.
+
+For tensors and media, also trace device, process, and ownership transitions. Count GPU-to-CPU copies, shared-memory/object-store handles, serialization, decode/encode steps, and unlink/release responsibility. Prefer eliminating a transfer or representation over merely hiding it behind a helper.
+
+## Dependency Replacements
+
+Prefer facilities already available in the repository before adding a dependency. For a proposed replacement:
+
+- Name the exact local behavior it covers and any semantics that remain in glue code.
+- Check maintenance, license, optional-dependency boundaries, platform support, and transitive footprint.
+- Compare net deletion, test burden, import/startup cost, and runtime behavior.
+- Benchmark when the replaced code is on a model, scheduler, connector, serialization, or serving hot path.
+
+A wrapper that retains the same state machine or conversion logic is not a simplification.
+
+## Deliver the Result
+
+Report only candidates supported by concrete evidence. For each one include:
+
+- **Surface:** files and symbols involved.
+- **Evidence:** production consumers found, dynamic paths checked, and relevant design contract.
+- **Simplification:** exactly what to remove, merge, inline, or reuse.
+- **Benefit:** deleted API/state/code, reduced data movement, or reduced maintenance/test burden.
+- **Risk and validation:** behavior that could change and the narrowest useful tests or measurements.
+- **Confidence:** high or medium, with the unresolved evidence named for medium-confidence items.
+
+Also list representative ideas that were rejected when that prevents repeated investigation. Prefer three high-confidence candidates over a long speculative inventory.
+
+If the user asks for a durable design proposal, place it under `docs/design/feature/` and register it in `docs/design/index.md`; use current design-document conventions and keep implementation details proportional to the decision. If the user asks for implementation, make the smallest coherent change, update affected tests/docs, and preserve public compatibility unless the user explicitly accepts a breaking change.
+
+## Folding Work from Another Branch
+
+Diff the source branch against its own merge base with `origin/main`, not against the current feature branch. Port only independently justified candidates. Consolidate overlaps into the candidate with stronger evidence, and do not preserve a candidate count by carrying weaker duplicates.
+
+## Validation
+
+Match validation to the outgoing diff:
+
+- Documentation or skill changes: run the repository skill validator when available, check links/paths, search for stale source-specific terminology, and run `git diff --check`.
+- Python changes: run the narrowest relevant pytest coverage through the repository environment, then lint/format the changed files.
+- Distributed, model, hardware, performance, or accuracy changes: run available CPU/static checks and state the exact GPU/NPU/model gap; never present simulated evidence as device validation.
+- Before submission, use [`precheck-pr`](../precheck-pr/SKILL.md) for the branch-level self-review.
+
+When summarizing, distinguish checks that passed from checks that were not runnable, and state the snapshot or branch against which the audit was performed.

+Self-review your branch before creating a PR against `vllm-project/vllm-omni`. Two modes: **quick** catches showstoppers, **full** does a thorough maintainer-grade review. Never posts to GitHub; the report is for the contributor's terminal only.
+
+## Mode Selection
+
+| Mode | When | Time |
+|------|------|------|
+| **Quick** | About to push, final sanity check | ~3 min |
+| **Full** | Ready for review, want maintainer-level scan | ~10 min |
+
+Default to quick if unsure. Run full before marking a PR "ready for review."
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Step 1: Detect Base Branch
+
+```bash
+BASE_SHA=$(git merge-base HEAD origin/main 2>/dev/null \
+         || git merge-base HEAD main 2>/dev/null \
+         || echo origin/main)
+echo "diffing against ${BASE_SHA}"
+git diff --name-only ${BASE_SHA}...HEAD
+```
+
+### Step 2: Validate PR Title
+
+Check the most recent commit message (or branch name if no commit yet) against the project convention. Valid prefixes:
+
+| Prefix | Applies to |
+|--------|-----------|
+| `[Bugfix]` | Bug fixes |
+| `[CI/Build]` | Build or CI improvements |
+| `[Doc]` | Documentation changes |
+| `[Model]` | New/improved models (include model name) |
+| `[Frontend]` | Frontend changes (API server, OmniLLM class, etc.) |
+| `[Kernel]` | CUDA/kernel changes |
+| `[Core]` | Core logic changes (OmniProcessor, OmniARScheduler, etc.) |
+| `[Hardware][Vendor]` | Hardware-specific (e.g., `[Hardware][Ascend]`) |
+| `[Misc]` | Other changes (use sparingly) |
+
+✗ if: missing prefix, wrong case (`[bugfix]`), or WIP/Draft in title.
+⚠ if: `[Model]` prefix without the model identifier (e.g., `[Model] Add new model` — should be `[Model] Add <ModelName> ...`).
+
+### Step 3: Categorize the PR
+
+| Diff contains | PR type |
+|---------------|---------|
+| New files under `vllm_omni/model_executor/models/<name>/` | **New Model** |
+| Changes to `vllm_omni/diffusion/` | **Diffusion Model** |
+| `[Bugfix]` prefix or single-file fix | **Bug Fix** |
+| Perf/benchmark/throughput claims in commit msg or diff | **Performance** |
+| Everything else | **General** |
+
+If multiple rows apply (e.g., a diffusion model is also a new model), union the checklists.
+
+### Step 4: Run Checklist
+
+Ask: "Quick mode or full mode?" Then walk the checklist for the detected PR type from [references/checklists.md](references/checklists.md). Each item produces ✓, ✗, or ⚠.
+
+**Also run the Code-Quality sweep on every PR**, regardless of type or mode: the five diff-scoped checks in [references/code-quality.md](references/code-quality.md) — kwargs fragility, broad-except swallow, `Any`/wrong type hints, hot-path `.clone()`/`deepcopy`, and event-loop blocking — plus the advisory conventions (log level, structured logging, synchronization, cleanup, dependencies, naming) in [checklists.md](references/checklists.md). These count only lines the PR *adds* — the pre-existing backlog across the repo is out of scope.
+
+**Also run the Examples-Policy check on every PR** using [references/examples-policy.md](references/examples-policy.md). Inspect only Python paths introduced by the diff. Treat a new model-, checkpoint-, vendor-, or family-specific Python example as blocking; do not report pre-existing example debt.
+
+**Also run the Simplification pass on every PR** using [find-simplifications](../find-simplifications/SKILL.md). Keep it diff-scoped: inspect added or modified public APIs, state, abstractions, fallback and compatibility paths, data movement, and only the adjacent ownership needed to prove a candidate. Do not expand the pass into a repository-wide audit. Zero candidates is a valid pass; report only evidence-backed opportunities. Mark a candidate as blocking only when it proves a correctness or merge-readiness problem, such as newly unreachable code. Otherwise report it as a warning.
+
+**Also confirm local pre-commit gates** from [docs/contributing/README.md](../../../docs/contributing/README.md#linting). GitHub Actions `SKIP` does not prove they passed. Full new-hook list: Omni SPDX (`vLLM-Omni project`); forbidden imports (stdlib `re`/`base64`, pickle, Hugging Face Hub API, Triton/TileLang); no new `torch.cuda` call sites; shellcheck (macOS/Windows must install the binary); mypy-3.10; test files have CI level + hardware marks; TTS `_tts_model_type` branches in `serving_speech.py` must not increase; markdownlint on `docs/`; Buildkite YAML schema. ✗ for growing `allowed_files` / `ALLOWED_FILES` or raising `MAX_MODEL_TYPE_BRANCHES` without review.
+
+### Step 5: Print Report
+
+```
+Pre-check report for <branch>
+
+  Mode: quick | full
+  Type: <new-model | diffusion-model | bug-fix | perf | general>
+

+# Pre-Check Checklists
+
+Each item is a concrete check to run against the diff. ✗ = fix before PR. ⚠ = consider fixing.
+
+---
+
+## All PRs: Title Format (check first)
+
+PR title must follow the project convention documented in `docs/contributing/README.md`:
+
+| Prefix | Applies to |
+|--------|-----------|
+| `[Bugfix]` | Bug fixes |
+| `[CI/Build]` | Build or CI improvements |
+| `[Doc]` | Documentation changes |
+| `[Model]` | New/improved models (include model name) |
+| `[Frontend]` | Frontend changes (API server, OmniLLM class, etc.) |
+| `[Kernel]` | CUDA/kernel changes |
+| `[Core]` | Core logic changes (OmniProcessor, OmniARScheduler, etc.) |
+| `[Hardware][Vendor]` | Hardware-specific (e.g., `[Hardware][Ascend]`) |
+| `[Misc]` | Other changes (use sparingly) |
+
+**Examples:**
+```
+✓ [Model] Add MiniCPM-o 4.5 support
+✓ [Bugfix] Fix Ovis image text encoder dtype
+✓ [Core] Qwen3-Omni performance optimization
+✓ [Hardware][Ascend] Fix VoxCPM2 on Ascend
+✗ Fix Ovis image text encoder dtype              ← missing prefix
+✗ [bugfix] Fix Ovis image text encoder           ← wrong case
+✗ [WIP] Add model                                ← WIP in title
+```
+
+- [ ] **Title has valid prefix** — ✗ if missing prefix, wrong case, or WIP/Draft in title. For `[Model]` PRs, the title MUST also include the model identifier (e.g., `[Model] Add <ModelName> ...`). ⚠ if missing the model name.
+
+---
+
+## All PRs: Code Quality (run on every PR, quick & full)
+
+Diff-scoped sweep for five fragility patterns that are pervasive in the existing codebase — **only lines the PR adds count**, not the pre-existing backlog. Detection commands, codebase examples, and full severity rules live in [code-quality.md](code-quality.md).
+
+- [ ] **No new `**kwargs` string-lookup plumbing:** the diff adds no `**kwargs` + `kwargs["..."]` / `kwargs.get("...")` / `"..." in kwargs`. ⚠ any new instance; ✗ if a new string key is duplicated across ≥2 files without a shared constant, or unknown keys are silently dropped on a fail-fast path.
+- [ ] **No new broad exception swallow:** the diff adds no `except Exception:` / bare `except:`. ⚠ any new instance; ✗ for `except: pass` / `except Exception: return None` / `continue` on a fail-fast path (init, config validation, weight loading, request handling).
+- [ ] **No new `Any` / wrong type hints:** the diff adds no `: Any` / `-> Any` / untyped production signature, and no new `SimpleNamespace` in tests faking an object that already has a real typed stub. ⚠ any new instance; ✗ for a *wrong* (actively misleading) annotation or a `SimpleNamespace` test fake of a typed object.
+- [ ] **No new hot-path copy:** the diff adds no `.clone()` / `.copy_()` / `copy.deepcopy(...)` inside a per-step loop or per-request path. ⚠ any new instance; ✗ for `.clone()` of a full latent/activations tensor inside an AR or diffusion step loop without a comment, or `deepcopy` of a scheduler / sampling-config on the request path.
+- [ ] **No new event-loop blocking:** the diff adds no `time.sleep` / blocking HTTP (`requests`, `urllib`) / `await` inside a held lock in `async def` code. ⚠ any new instance; ✗ for blocking sleep or HTTP on the serving path (`engine/`, `entrypoints/`, async `connectors/`), or a lock held across an `await`. Blocking inside a dedicated worker thread is fine.
+
+Roll the ⚠/✗ counts into the report as a single **Code quality** dimension row.
+
+---
+
+## All PRs: Examples Policy (run on every PR, quick & full)
+
+Inspect Python files introduced under `examples/` using
+[examples-policy.md](examples-policy.md). This is a diff-scoped ratchet: existing
+model-specific examples may be edited or removed without triggering the check.
+
+- [ ] **No new model-specific Python examples:** the diff adds, copies, or renames no Python file whose path or behavior is specific to one model, checkpoint, vendor, or model family. ✗ for any violation. Route inference through a shared task/protocol entrypoint, model request behavior through `vllm_omni/model_extras`, and commands through task docs or `recipes/`.
+- [ ] **New generic example code is justified:** any new task-neutral Python file under `examples/` is an actual user-facing entrypoint rather than reusable production logic, a benchmark, an app, a setup tool, or a reproducer. ⚠ when the placement is questionable.
+
+Roll the result into the report as a separate **Examples policy** dimension.
+
+### Conventions (eyeball — no grep)
+
+Judgment calls that don't grep cleanly — apply them while reading the diff, not as a mechanical check:
+
+- **Right log level** — `info` is for end-user-visible events; routine internal events are `debug`; hot paths are `trace` or removed. Logging is not free.
+- **Structured fields over f-strings** — pass dynamic values as structured fields (`logger.info("msg", extra={...})`), not interpolated strings, so they stay greppable and parseable.
+- **No reflexive synchronization** — don't add `threading.Lock` / `asyncio.Lock` / `deepcopy` / re-wrap shared state unless there is real concurrent mutation; the GIL covers most Python code. Owners decide their own synchronization — don't pre-lock in a constructor.
+- **Context managers for cleanup** — use `with` / `contextlib` for files, locks, CUDA streams, and profilers; not raw `open()` + manual `.close()` or ad-hoc `finally`.
+- **No new dependencies without justification** — prefer the stdlib and existing vllm-omni deps; a new top-level dep needs a reason (check `pyproject.toml` / `requirements*.txt`).
+- **Naming / interface discipline** — don't rename or change interfaces just for taste in this PR, but do fix names that actively mislead (e.g. `serve` implying a long-running server, `Instance` where multiple instance kinds coexist).
+
+---
+
+## Bug Fix PRs
+
+### Quick
+
+- [ ] **PR body has 4 sections:** what broke (error message), repro steps, root cause, fix description
+- [ ] **Fix is minimal:** diff touches only files directly related to the bug. No unrelated refactors or style changes.
+- [ ] **Repro is runnable:** the PR body includes a copy-paste command that reproduces the bug
+- [ ] **Branch is rebased:** `git merge-base HEAD origin/main` is recent, no merge conflicts
+
+### Full (adds)
+
+- [ ] **Regression test exists:** `git diff --name-only` includes at least one `tests/` file
+- [ ] **Regression test reproduces the original error:** the test would fail on main, pass on this branch
+- [ ] **Fix matches root cause exactly:** no "fix the symptom + something else" — if the root cause is dtype, the fix is dtype, not dtype + reformatting
+- [ ] **No silent failure risk:** no bare `except: pass`, no `try: ... except: return None`, no empty fallback added. See the broad-except pattern in [code-quality.md](code-quality.md#2-broad-exception-swallow) for the full severity rule (⚠ any new broad catch; ✗ for a swallow on a fail-fast path).
+- [ ] **Upstream pattern match:** the fix follows the same pattern as existing code for similar cases (grep for analogous `from_pretrained` calls, etc.)
+- [ ] **Environment documented:** torch/transformers/vllm versions listed if the bug is version-dependent
+
+---
+
+## Performance PRs
+
+### Quick
+
+- [ ] **Before/after numbers in PR body:** at minimum, one metric (RTF, RPS, latency, VRAM) with main vs PR values
+- [ ] **Hardware specified:** GPU model, count, VRAM. "L4" or "H20" is sufficient. "tested on GPU" is not.
+- [ ] **Concurrency scaling:** if the optimization claims better throughput, numbers at 2+ concurrency levels
+- [ ] **No unexplained regressions:** if any metric goes down at any concurrency level, explain why
+- [ ] **Branch is rebased:** `git merge-base HEAD origin/main` is recent, no merge conflicts
+
+### Full (adds)
+
+- [ ] **Software versions:** torch, CUDA, vllm, vllm-omni versions in PR body
+- [ ] **Warmup stated:** "1 warmup + 3 measured" or equivalent
+- [ ] **Stddev or range:** not just a single best run. "average of 2 rounds" is minimum.
+- [ ] **VRAM measured:** peak GPU memory before and after
+- [ ] **Benchmark script checked in:** under `tests/` or `examples/`, runnable by reviewer
+- [ ] **Exact command line in PR:** not pseudocode, not "run the benchmark"
+- [ ] **Pytest summary included:** `36 passed, 3 skipped, 17 warnings in 2897.66s` — proves the whole suite passes
+- [ ] **Config changes documented:** if `max_num_seqs`, `gpu_memory_utilization`, or deploy YAML changed, old and new values stated with reasoning
+
+---
+
+## New Model PRs
+
+### Quick
+
+- [ ] **PR body file list matches `git diff --name-only`:** every file path in the description exists in the diff
+- [ ] **Registry entries match claimed count:** count `_OMNI_MODELS` or `_DIFFUSION_MODELS` entries added vs claimed in body
+- [ ] **Pipeline config `custom_process_input_func` paths resolve:** each referenced module.function exists
+- [ ] **`__init__.py` exports match registry:** each registered class appears in `__init__.py` and `__all__`
+- [ ] **Shell script modes match README:** `run_curl.sh` supports every mode the README documents
+- [ ] **Branch is rebased:** `git merge-base HEAD origin/main` is recent, no merge conflicts
+
+### Full (adds)
+
+- [ ] **Dead code scan (5 patterns):**
+  1. Dead `forward()` — defined but never called through the pipeline path
+  2. Dead factory/builder functions — instantiated nowhere
+  3. Dead wrappers — thin wrappers with no callers
+  4. Dead branch guards — `if version > X` where X is always satisfied
+  5. Unused parameters — `__init__` args never accessed
+- [ ] **Copy-paste detection:** no string constant defined in 3+ files, no cross-module validation duplication, no near-identical shape coercion fns
+- [ ] **Import hygiene:** no re-export-only imports, no module-level side effects without docs, no `import os` in function body when already at top. Function-body imports are acceptable when the import is only reachable from a closure or factory return value (i.e., `import` would otherwise execute at module load even though the user may never trigger that path). Either lift to top-of-file or annotate with `# noqa: PLC0415`.
+- [ ] **Accuracy:** at least one test compares output against reference; audio = valid WAV at correct sample rate; determinism verified if seed claimed. ⚠ if missing and not explicitly deferred to a follow-up PR or RFC section; — if explicitly deferred (the deferral target SHOULD be linked in the PR body).
+- [ ] **Performance:** hardware, software versions, warmup, and metrics (RTF, VRAM, RPS, latency) stated. ⚠ if missing and not explicitly deferred; — if explicitly deferred.
+- [ ] **Benchmark settings:** model config (TP, PP, max_model_len, enforce_eager, quant), runtime config (batch, input/output spec), environment versions
+- [ ] **Benchmark script checked in + exact command line + pytest summary**
+
+---
+
+## Diffusion Model PRs
+
+Diffusion models live under `vllm_omni/diffusion/`. In addition to the New Model checklist above, verify:
+
+- [ ] **Transformer adapter follows contract:** inherits from `nn.Module`, implements `load_weights()`, uses `vllm_omni.diffusion.attention.layer.Attention`
+- [ ] **Pipeline has both offline and online paths:** `forward()` for batch generation, streaming path for online serving
+- [ ] **Cache-DiT integration:** at least one acceleration (TeaCache, FBCache, etc.) is wired up. ✗ for new **top-level** pipelines. For **subclass** pipelines that inherit `__call__` from a parent where Cache-DiT is already absent, downgrade to ⚠ and recommend filing a follow-up issue against the parent pipeline family.
+- [ ] **Parallelism config:** TP/SP/USP/CFG-Parallel options exposed in pipeline config
+- [ ] **Docs table updated:** model added to `docs/models/supported_models.md` with correct metadata
+- [ ] **E2E test exists:** at least one test exercises the full generate path
+
+---
+
+## General PRs
+
+### Quick
+
+- [ ] **PR body matches diff:** description doesn't claim changes not in the diff
+- [ ] **Branch is rebased:** `git merge-base HEAD origin/main` is recent, no merge conflicts
+- [ ] **CI gates passing:** DCO, pre-commit, build — check `gh pr view --json statusCheckRollup` if a PR already exists
+- [ ] **Local pre-commit gates:** full list in [Linting](../../../../docs/contributing/README.md#linting). Blocking when the diff introduces: stale `vLLM project` SPDX; stdlib `re`/`base64` or pickle in library code; new `torch.cuda` call sites; `tests/**/test_*.py` without level+hardware marks; new `_tts_model_type` branches in `serving_speech.py`; invalid `.buildkite` YAML. macOS/Windows need a native `shellcheck`. ✗ for growing `CHECK_IMPORTS[*].allowed_files`, `ALLOWED_FILES`, or `MAX_MODEL_TYPE_BRANCHES` without review.
+
+### Full (adds)
+
+- [ ] **No new dead code in changed files:** scan for unreachable paths, unused imports
+- [ ] **Test coverage:** if core code changed (`engine/`, `stages/`, `connectors/`), tests are added or existing tests cover the path
+- [ ] **Import hygiene:** no redundant imports added
+- [ ] **No unrelated changes:** diff scope matches PR description

+# Code-Quality Patterns
+
+Five fragility patterns to sweep on **every** PR, in both quick and full mode. These are pervasive in the existing codebase (hundreds of pre-existing sites) — so the checks are **diff-scoped**: only lines the PR *adds* count. Whole-repo greps light up every PR with the backlog and are useless.
+
+All commands assume:
+```bash
+BASE="$(git merge-base HEAD origin/main)"
+```
+
+**Severity:** ⚠ for any *new* instance introduced by the diff; ✗ for the acute sub-cases defined per pattern. Acute ✗ findings belong in the report's blocking count.
+
+---
+
+## 1. `**kwargs` string-lookup passthrough
+
+### Anti-pattern
+```python
+def forward(self, **kwargs):
+    # BLOCKER-prone: raw dict + string keys duplicated across files
+    if "runtime_additional_information" in kwargs and \
+       "model_intermediate_buffer" not in kwargs:
+        ...
+```
+Real instances of this exact guard are copy-pasted across `cosyvoice3.py`, `indextts2_talker.py` (×2), `indextts2_s2mel_decoder.py`, `qwen3_tts_talker.py`, `qwen3_omni.py`. A typo in any string key silently no-ops; there is no type check, no IDE completion, and unknown keys are silently dropped.
+
+### Why dangerous
+Raw `dict` + `**kwargs` + lists of param-name strings is **fragile by construction**: the compiler can't see a missing or misspelled key, so failures are silent. Each duplicated copy is a new place for the strings to drift.
+
+### Severity
+- ⚠ any *new* `**kwargs` signature whose body does `kwargs["..."]` / `kwargs.get("...")` / `"..." in kwargs`.
+- ✗ when the diff introduces a **new** string key that is duplicated across ≥2 files without a shared module constant, or when `**kwargs` plumbing **silently drops unknown keys** on a fail-fast path (init, config validation, weight loading).
+
+### Detect (diff-scoped)
+```bash
+git diff ${BASE}...HEAD -- "*.py" | grep "^+[^+]" \
+  | grep -E '\*\*kwargs|kwargs(\.get|\[)|"[a-z_]+"\s+in\s+kwargs'
+```
+
+### Fix
+Prefer explicit typed params. The repo already has the right primitive: `msgspec.Struct` with `forbid_unknown_fields=True` rejects unknown keys instead of silently dropping them — see `_StructBase` in `vllm_omni/data_entry_keys.py:105` and `MoriPullRequest` in `vllm_omni/distributed/omni_connectors/connectors/mori_transfer_engine_connector.py:81`. A `@dataclass` or `TypedDict` works too.
+
+If `**kwargs` is unavoidable (vLLM base-class compat), centralize the key strings as module-level constants behind **one** typed accessor, instead of repeating the literal across files.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Broad exception swallow
+
+### Anti-pattern
+```python
+# BLOCKER-prone: catches everything, returns None on any failure
+try:
+    evt = build_event(...)
+    return evt
+except Exception:
+    return None
+```
+Real clusters: `vllm_omni/metrics/stats.py:240,274,367,450` and `vllm_omni/metrics/{modality,utils}.py` — all `except Exception: return None`.
+
+### Why dangerous
+A generic `except Exception:` is **too flexible**. If we catch an exception type we don't expect, it is almost always an unhandled edge case that needs to be *fixed* — not swallowed into `None`/`pass`/`continue`. Broad catches turn fixable bugs into silent wrong behavior and make debugging impossible.
+
+The repo backs this with ruff `BLE001` (broad-exception catch); it is currently suppressed via `# noqa: BLE001` in `vllm_omni/patch.py:413`. Prefer fixing over suppressing.
+
+### Severity
+- ⚠ any *new* `except Exception:` / `except BaseException:` / bare `except:`.
+- ✗ for `except:` / `except Exception: pass|return None|continue` on a **fail-fast path** (init, config validation, weight loading, request handling, connector setup). This extends the Bug-Fix "No silent failure risk" ✗ in [checklists.md](checklists.md).
+
+### Detect (diff-scoped)
+```bash
+# Any new broad catch (⚠ baseline):
+git diff ${BASE}...HEAD -- "*.py" | grep "^+[^+]" \
+  | grep -E 'except\s*(Exception|BaseException)?\s*:'
+# Note: this matches only the immediate-colon swallow forms (`except :`,
+# `except Exception:`) — it deliberately excludes specific catches like
+# `except ValueError:` and the `except Exception as e:` variant. Eyeball
+# the latter; `as e` usually means it is logged, but still verify.
+```
+
+### Fix
+Catch the **specific** types you actually expect (`ValueError`, `KeyError`, `AttributeError`, `OSError`, `torch.cuda.OutOfMemoryError`, `msgspec.ValidationError`, …). At a genuine top-level / best-effort boundary (metrics, signal handlers), at minimum **log** the exception; never swallow into a bare `pass`/`return None` on a path that should fail loudly.
+
+---
+
+## 3. `Any` / wrong type annotations
+
+### Anti-pattern
+```python
+# ⚠ Any param + Any return — no contract, no narrowing
+def _extract_mm_output(engine_outputs: Any) -> dict[str, Any]:
+    ...
+```
+
+### Why dangerous (root cause)
+`Any` disables the type checker for that position, so typos and wrong shapes pass silently. The repo has 636 `: Any` params, 244 `-> Any` returns, and **1,173 `SimpleNamespace` in `tests/`**. The `Any` leak is largely test-driven: vibe-coded unit tests fake objects with `SimpleNamespace`, which forces the production code consuming them to be typed `Any`, and the `Any` then propagates outward into public signatures.
+
+### Severity
+- ⚠ any *new* `: Any` / `-> Any` / fully-untyped signature in production code.
+- ✗ for a **wrong** annotation (actively misleading — e.g. `-> bool` that returns `Optional[bool]`), or a *new* `SimpleNamespace` in a test that mimics an object which already has a real typed stub / `@dataclass` / `TypedDict` / `Protocol`.
+
+### Detect (diff-scoped)
+```bash
+# Any leaking into new signatures:
+git diff ${BASE}...HEAD -- "*.py" | grep "^+[^+]" \
+  | grep -E ':\s*Any\b|->\s*Any\b'
+# SimpleNamespace newly added in tests (the Any-leak source):
+git diff ${BASE}...HEAD -- "tests/" | grep "^+[^+]" | grep "SimpleNamespace"
+```
+
+### Fix
+Replace `Any` with the concrete type, a `Protocol`, or a `Union`. If a type is genuinely dynamic, prefer `object` + `isinstance` narrowing over `Any` — `object` keeps the checker engaged. In tests, replace `SimpleNamespace` with the real class, a small `@dataclass`/`TypedDict`, or a `Protocol` + fake, so the system under test stays fully typed.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Unnecessary copy — `.clone()` / `copy.deepcopy` in hot paths
+
+### Anti-pattern
+```python
+# Per-step in a diffusion/AR loop: clones the full latent every iteration
+for t in timesteps:
+    trajectory_latents.append(x_t.clone())   # O(N) GPU alloc + memcpy each step
+```
+Real clusters: `vllm_omni/diffusion/models/bagel/bagel_transformer.py` calls `x_t.clone()` ~9× across a trajectory loop (lines 1820–2186); the cache hooks `vllm_omni/diffusion/cache/teacache/hook.py:155` and `magcache/hook.py:182` clone `hidden_states` per step. Separately, `copy.deepcopy(self.scheduler)` / `copy.deepcopy(req.sampling_params)` is copy-pasted across diffusion pipelines — `pipeline_qwen_image.py:786`, `pipeline_hunyuan_image3.py:1904`, `pipeline_ltx2*.py` (×3), `pipeline_dreamzero.py:1085`, `diffusion_model_runner.py:398` — a full object-graph deepcopy on the request path. (Contrast `dreamzero/causal_wan_model.py:203`, which carries a `# No .clone() needed.` comment — the aware pattern.)
+
+### Why dangerous
+A `.clone()` of a GPU tensor or a `copy.deepcopy` of a config object inside a per-step / per-request path is a hidden allocator: it reads as one Python line but triggers a GPU memcpy or a deep object-graph walk every iteration. Across 50 diffusion steps or hundreds of AR steps it dominates latency and VRAM bandwidth. `deepcopy` additionally ignores any custom device / `__copy__` logic and can drag tensors through CPU.
+
+### Severity
+- ⚠ any *new* `.clone()` / `.copy_()` / `copy.deepcopy(...)` inside a per-step loop or per-request path.
+- ✗ for `.clone()` of a full latent/activations tensor inside an AR or diffusion step loop without an explanatory comment, or `copy.deepcopy` of a scheduler / sampling-config on the request hot path.
+
+### Detect (diff-scoped)
+```bash
+git diff ${BASE}...HEAD -- "*.py" | grep "^+[^+]" \
+  | grep -E '\.clone\(\)|\.copy_\(|copy\.deepcopy|deepcopy\('
+```
+
+### Fix
+Tensors: prefer a view (`x[..., :k]`, `torch.narrow`, `as_strided`) or write into a pre-allocated buffer with `dst.copy_(src)` instead of `.clone()`; if the caller no longer needs the original, `move`/`del` it rather than copy. Schedulers / configs: build a fresh lightweight instance per request, or split out the mutable per-request bits so the shared immutable part isn't deepcopied. If a copy is genuinely required (e.g. the source is mutated in place later), keep it and add a one-line comment saying why.

+## 5. Blocking the asyncio event loop / lock held across `await`
+
+### Anti-pattern
+```python
+# BLOCKER-prone: blocking sleep / blocking HTTP / lock held across an await,
+# all inside an async (event-loop) function
+async def handle(self, req):
+    with self._lock:
+        resp = await self._client.call(req)   # lock held across await -> serializes all requests
+    time.sleep(0.1)                           # stalls the single loop for every concurrent request
+```
+
+### Why dangerous
+vLLM-Omni serves over a single asyncio event loop. Any synchronous blocking work on an `async def` path — `time.sleep`, blocking HTTP (`requests`/`urllib`), heavy CPU work, or a lock held across an `await` — stalls the loop for *every* concurrent request, not just the blocking one. A lock held across `await` silently serializes the whole pipeline; blocking I/O tanks throughput and inflates tail latency.
+
+### Severity
+- ⚠ any *new* `time.sleep(`, blocking HTTP call (`requests.get/post`, `urllib.request`, `urlopen`), or `await` inside a `with Lock` / `async with` critical section, in `async def` code.
+- ✗ for `time.sleep` or blocking HTTP on the serving path (`engine/`, `entrypoints/`, async `connectors/`), or a lock acquired and held across an `await` on the request path.
+
+### Detect (diff-scoped)
+```bash
+# New blocking primitives introduced by the diff — then eyeball whether each
+# sits in an async function on the loop vs a dedicated worker thread:
+git diff ${BASE}...HEAD -- "*.py" | grep "^+[^+]" \
+  | grep -E 'time\.sleep|requests\.(get|post|put|delete)|urllib\.request|urlopen'
+# Lock acquired with an await potentially inside the critical section (manual eyeball):
+git diff ${BASE}...HEAD -- "*.py" | grep "^+[^+]" | grep -E 'async with|\.acquire\(\)'
+```
+Note: blocking inside a **dedicated worker thread is correct** — the repo already does this (`diffusion/model_loader/hub_prefetch.py`, `distributed/omni_connectors/kv_transfer_manager.py`, the `mooncake`/`mori` connectors poll with `time.sleep` on their own threads). The check targets the *event-loop* path only.
+
+### Fix
+Move blocking work off the loop with `asyncio.to_thread(...)` / `run_in_executor`, or use a native async client (`httpx.AsyncClient` / `aiohttp`). Never `await` while holding a lock — drop the lock before the `await` and re-acquire after, or restructure so the critical section contains no `await`.
+
+---
+
+## Running the sweep
+
+Run all five detections against `${BASE}...HEAD`, then for each hit decide ⚠ vs ✗ using the severity rules above. Roll the results into the report as a single **Code quality** dimension row (count of ⚠ and ✗), alongside the type-specific checklist from [checklists.md](checklists.md).

+# Examples Python Policy
+
+Prevent new model-specific Python examples without forcing cleanup of the
+existing backlog. Run this check on every PR in quick and full modes.
+
+## Scope
+
+Set the merge base as in the main workflow, then list Python paths introduced
+by the PR, including additions, copies, and renames:
+
+```bash
+BASE="$(git merge-base HEAD origin/main)"
+git diff --name-status --diff-filter=ACR --find-renames --find-copies \
+  "${BASE}"...HEAD -- 'examples/**/*.py'
+```
+
+Inspect destination paths for copies and renames. Existing model-specific files
+that are only modified or deleted are grandfathered and must not be reported.
+
+## Blocking classification
+
+Mark ✗ when a newly introduced Python file does any of the following:
+
+- Names or scopes a path to one model, checkpoint, vendor, or model family.
+- Hard-codes a model identifier, model-specific prompt, request shape, output
+  conversion, or launch configuration behind an otherwise generic filename.
+- Duplicates an existing task/protocol runner to demonstrate one model.
+- Adds a per-model helper below a generic task hub such as `text_to_speech/`.
+
+Do not infer safety from a generic filename alone. For example, a file named
+`text_to_audio.py` is still model-specific if it only implements one model's
+contract.
+
+## Acceptable additions
+
+A new Python example may pass when it is a genuinely model-neutral,
+user-facing task or protocol entrypoint. It must accept model selection through
+configuration and keep model-specific behavior out of the script.
+
+Use ⚠ when the file is model-neutral but reusable logic appears misplaced under
+`examples/`. Route code by purpose:
+
+| Code purpose | Preferred location |
+|---|---|
+| Model prompt, defaults, request/output adaptation | `vllm_omni/model_extras/` or production model modules |
+| Runnable model command and validation evidence | Task documentation or `recipes/` |
+| UI or interactive application | `apps/` |
+| Benchmark or evaluator | `benchmarks/` |
+| Regression reproducer | `tests/` |
+| Download, conversion, or setup utility | `tools/` |
+
+If a model cannot use an existing shared runner, report the missing generic
+capability. Do not solve the gap by adding a model-specific Python example.
+
+## Report format
+
+Add one row to the pre-check report:
+
+```text
+Examples policy    ✓ no new Python example paths
+Examples policy    ⚠ generic helper belongs in tools/
+Examples policy    ✗ examples/offline_inference/new_model/end2end.py is model-specific
+Examples policy    ✗ examples/offline_inference/x_to_y_model_name.py is model-specific
+```
+
+For a blocker, name the path, the model-specific behavior, and the appropriate
+shared runner or destination. Do not propose deleting unrelated existing
+examples as part of the PR.

+# Productionizing a Diffusion Model
+
+## Scope
+
+Use this skill to move a working model integration from Day-0 support to a
+measured, fail-closed production deployment. It is deliberately separate from
+[`add-diffusion-model`](../add-diffusion-model/SKILL.md); do not modify or copy
+that skill when productionizing a model. If registry, pipeline, or basic loader
+work is incomplete, read that skill first and finish the Day-0 vertical slice.
+
+MiniMax-H3 [PR #5691](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/pull/5691)
+is the merged Day-0 case study. Its open optimization
+[issue #5700](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/issues/5700) is an
+actively maintained roadmap and evidence map, not a list of already supported
+features. It can lag merged implementation: read its current revision, cited
+PRs, target source, and maintained recipes, then leave every unverified row
+`not tested` until the target revision has scoped evidence.
+
+Read these references before the corresponding gate:
+
+- [API and hardware recipes](references/api-and-recipes.md)
+- [Production feature patterns](references/feature-patterns.md)
+- [Performance patterns and code examples](references/performance-patterns.md)
+- [Serving, soak, and CI validation](references/production-validation.md)
+
+## Non-negotiable evidence contract
+
+Create a matrix whose row key is at least:
+
+```text
+task x API mode x execution mode/capacity x shape/schedule x attention backend x
+packed layout x cache policy x quantization x offload mode x topology x
+hardware x dtype x output representation/transport
+```
+
+Use exactly these states:
+
+| State | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `validated` | The exact row passed correctness and measured deployment tests, with reproducible artifacts. |
+| `limited` | A bounded subset passed; the limitation and rejection/fallback behavior are explicit. |
+| `unsupported` | A stable architectural/platform restriction is proven and fails early with an actionable error. |
+| `not tested` | No adequate evidence exists. This is the default. |
+
+Never infer compatibility from import success, server startup, another task,
+another card, or another topology. Record the model/checkpoint revision,
+vLLM-Omni commit, commands, request assets and hashes, seed/schedule/shape,
+raw output artifacts, environment, and result for every `validated` row.
+
+## Workflow
+
+Follow the gates in order. Keep a dense BF16 single-device path as the
+correctness oracle until every advertised fast path has parity evidence.
+
+### Gate 0: Freeze the official contract
+
+Pin the official implementation and checkpoint revision. Build a matrix for:
+
+- constructor/call arguments, defaults, scheduler and sigma schedule;
+- task-to-source modality/count/order rules;
+- prompt, MIME, bytes, pixels, frames, duration, FPS, steps, seed, guidance,
+  output count, and output format limits;
+- offline API and every public sync/async serving endpoint;
+- checkpoint partitions and task selection.
+
+Normalize offline, sync, and async requests through one validation contract.
+Reject an invalid task/source combination before downloads, upload persistence,
+temporary files, async job creation, or engine submission. Use 400 for invalid
+semantics and 413 for payload limits; clean partial resources on every failure.
+See [API and hardware recipes](references/api-and-recipes.md).
+
+### Gate 1: Re-prove correctness under production shapes
+
+1. Make loading strict: track expected, loaded, unexpected, and intentionally
+   ignored tensors. A fused destination is complete only after every source
+   shard arrives. Missing retained parameters abort startup.
+2. Fix reference revision, asset hashes, seed, schedule, and shape. Compare
+   component outputs, intermediate denoise latents, and final artifacts.
+3. Test unequal packed samples. Verify `cu_seqlens`, padding exclusion,
+   modality/CFG ownership, split/gather boundaries, and one output per request.
+4. Test partial process groups with non-member ranks and group size smaller
+   than world size. Do not construct a private group per component or request.
+5. Run negative API cases before positive E2E tests to prove side-effect-free
+   rejection and cleanup.
+
+### Gate 2: Wire shared fast primitives
+
+Prefer explicit, testable vLLM-Omni/vLLM operators with native fallbacks.
+`torch.compile` remains a separately validated regional optimization; it is
+not a substitute for correct operator selection or lifecycle-safe boundaries.
+
+#### RMSNorm + RoPE baseline
+
+Use the shared cross-platform operators, preserving the official Q/K norm and
+RoPE order:
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.layers.norm import RMSNorm
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.layers.rope import (
+    RotaryEmbedding,
+    apply_rope_to_qk,
+)
+
+self.norm_q = RMSNorm(head_dim, eps=eps)
+self.norm_k = RMSNorm(head_dim, eps=eps)
+self.rope = RotaryEmbedding(is_neox_style=False)
+
+query = self.norm_q(query)  # [B, S, Hq, D] or packed [T, Hq, D]
+key = self.norm_k(key)      # [B, S, Hkv, D] or packed [T, Hkv, D]
+query, key = apply_rope_to_qk(
+    self.rope,
+    query,
+    key,
+    (cos, sin),
+)
+```
+
+Verify `is_neox_style`, `half_head_dim`, partial rotary dimensions, cos/sin
+layout, and packed row ownership against the official model. `False` means
+interleaved/GPT-J style; do not assume the default is NeoX. Shared RMSNorm and
+RoPE are two dispatched operators, not automatically one fused kernel.
+
+For packed non-interleaved RoPE, use the shared fused boundary when its contract
+matches the model:
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.layers.fused_qk_norm_rope import fused_qk_norm_rope
+
+query, key = fused_qk_norm_rope(
+    query,                    # [T, Hq, D]
+    key,                      # [T, Hkv, D]
+    self.norm_q.weight,       # [D]
+    self.norm_k.weight,       # [D]
+    rope_table,               # [T, rotary_dim] = [cos | sin]
+    self.norm_q.variance_epsilon,
+)
+```
+
+The current CUDA fast path specializes BF16 `head_dim=128`, `rotary_dim=96`;
+the public function keeps an eager fallback for unsupported inputs. Verify the
+packed row/frequency contract and trace the actual fast path. Do not reshape an
+incompatible official RoPE layout merely to enter this kernel.
+
+MiniMax-H3-style partial NeoX RoPE rotates a prefix and passes the suffix
+through:
+
+```python
+self.q_norm = RMSNorm(head_dim, eps=eps, dtype=torch.bfloat16)
+self.k_norm = RMSNorm(head_dim, eps=eps, dtype=torch.bfloat16)
+self.rope = RotaryEmbedding(is_neox_style=True, half_head_dim=False)
+
+def apply_partial_rope(self, x, freqs, rot_dim):
+    x_rot, x_pass = x[..., :rot_dim], x[..., rot_dim:]
+    cos, sin = torch.cos(freqs).to(x.dtype), torch.sin(freqs).to(x.dtype)
+    return torch.cat((self.rope(x_rot, cos, sin), x_pass), dim=-1)
+```
+
+The partial-RoPE snippet assumes `import torch` and lives on the owning
+attention module; adapt names and validated frequency shapes rather than
+copying it at module scope.
+
+Call the modules normally so `CustomOp` selects CUDA/HIP/NPU/XPU/native
+implementations. Do not call `forward_cuda()` directly. Compare the shared
+path with native BF16 at operator, block, denoise-trajectory, and artifact
+levels before claiming either accuracy or speed.
+
+#### Faster BF16 attention and fused projections
+
+Use local TP head counts and role-aware shared attention:
+
+```python
+from vllm.model_executor.layers.linear import QKVParallelLinear
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.attention.layer import Attention
+
+self.qkv_proj = QKVParallelLinear(
+    hidden_size=hidden_size,
+    head_size=head_dim,
+    total_num_heads=num_heads,
+    total_num_kv_heads=num_kv_heads,
+    bias=False,
+    quant_config=quant_config,
+    prefix=f"{prefix}.qkv_proj",
+)
+self.attn = Attention(
+    num_heads=self.qkv_proj.num_heads,
+    num_kv_heads=self.qkv_proj.num_kv_heads,
+    head_size=head_dim,
+    softmax_scale=head_dim**-0.5,
+    causal=False,
+    qkv_layout="BSND",
+    role="self",
+    prefix=prefix,
+)
+```
+
+Prove the selected backend from runtime logs/trace and compare it with dense
+SDPA. Packed metadata must express real sample boundaries; do not build masks
+that the selected backend ignores. A backend that is faster for one shape or
+platform is not a global default. See [performance patterns](references/performance-patterns.md)
+for QKV, SwiGLU, AdaLN, sparse attention, redundancy, and fusion examples.
+
+### Gate 3: Add online FP8 without breaking the loader
+
+Route the active config to each component, then pass a stable runtime prefix
+and config into every quantizable vLLM linear:
+
+```python
+def resolve_component_quant_config(quant_config, component):
+    return quant_config.resolve(component) if hasattr(quant_config, "resolve") else quant_config
+
+transformer_quant_config = resolve_component_quant_config(
+    od_config.quantization_config,
+    "transformer",
+)
+self.transformer = MyDiT(
+    od_config,
+    quant_config=transformer_quant_config,
+    prefix="transformer",
+)
+
+self.qkv_proj = QKVParallelLinear(
+    hidden_size=hidden_size,
+    head_size=head_dim,
+    total_num_heads=num_heads,
+    total_num_kv_heads=num_kv_heads,
+    quant_config=quant_config,
+    prefix=f"{prefix}.qkv_proj",
+)
+```
+
+Use `build_quant_config()` for direct construction/testing:
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.quantization import build_quant_config
+
+quant_config = build_quant_config({
+    "transformer": {"method": "fp8"},
+    "text_encoder": None,
+    "vae": None,
+    "default": None,
+})
+```
+
+Preserve each parameter's vLLM `weight_loader`; perform checkpoint layout
+conversion before invoking it. Account for every QKV/gate-up source shard.
+Keep precision-sensitive norm/modulation/embedders in BF16 unless separately
+proven, using the current `safe_quant_config` pattern where applicable.
+
+Validate resident DiT FP8 first: prove which modules are quantized, HBM saved,
+BF16-vs-FP8 trajectory/artifact quality, latency, and throughput. Text encoder,
+VAE, other hardware, TP/cache/DLO combinations are separate rows.
+Pre-quantized, pruned, rotated, or adapter-modified checkpoints are separate
+model/loading lanes; compare them with the released BF16 model without calling
+the result a pure quantization ablation. Read
+[`../quantization/SKILL.md`](../quantization/SKILL.md) if present and prefer the
+target revision's implementation/docs when sibling guidance differs.
+
+### Gate 4: Make every component offloadable
+
+Declare topology instead of relying on heuristic discovery:
+
+```python
+from typing import ClassVar
+
+import torch.nn as nn
+
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.models.interface import SupportsComponentDiscovery
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.offloader import OffloadPlan
+
+class MyPipeline(nn.Module, SupportsComponentDiscovery):
+    _dit_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = ["transformer"]
+    _encoder_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = ["text_encoder"]
+    _vae_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = ["vae"]
+    _resident_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = []
+    _offload_plan: ClassVar[OffloadPlan] = OffloadPlan(
+        on_demand_component_paths=frozenset({"text_encoder", "vae"}),
+        block_attrs={"transformer": ("blocks",)},
+        offload_submodules={"token_refiner": "blocks"},
+        resident_dit_paths=frozenset({"transformer"}),
+        encoder_block_attrs={"text_encoder": ("encoder.layers",)},
+    )
+```
+
+Add a test that resolves every dotted component/block path and fails if it is
+missing or is not the expected module/container; discovery may otherwise warn
+and skip. Validate ordinary layerwise offload and distributed layerwise
+offload (DLO) independently.
+
+Keep component lifecycle and host-weight storage separate. `OffloadPlan`
+declares what can be streamed; the diffusion loader owns any `HostWeightPlan`
+and hands the exact prevalidated plan to DLO. Do not make the offloader rescan
+checkpoint files or duplicate loader name/shape/dtype decisions. Direct mmap is
+a fail-closed optimization: current preflight requires TP1, no HSDP, no online
+quantization, complete bindings, and represented transforms. Otherwise the
+ordinary loader remains authoritative.
+
+If the target revision supports Host Weight Runtime (HWR), treat it as a
+separate, exact-identity startup/cache path rather than generic offload or
+zero-copy execution. Qualify `preferred` population/fallback and `required`
+consume-only failure independently; verify immutable manifests, final-layout
+restore, lease cleanup, corruption/quarantine, and node-local sharing. Current
+model contracts may be BF16 no-AllGather-only, so reject AllGather, online
+quantization, HSDP, LoRA/adapted weights, and unrecognized load formats unless
+the exact target revision explicitly adds them.
+
+On small-HBM cards, record load/materialization peak, resident peak, encode,
+each denoise wave, decode, transient per-rank HBM, host PSS, H2D, and collective
+time. Test DLO AllGather and `--dlo-no-use-allgather` as different deployments.
+Sweep the supported resident-block policies and publish the non-dominated
+latency-HBM frontier; a single minimum-memory or fastest point is not the DLO
+trade-off. Keep request-specific preparation replica-local. Only weight
+materialization may enter the declared DLO collective group; never use WORLD
+for per-request work in a DP deployment.
+Direct checkpoint mmap preflight is limited to TP1 without HSDP or online
+quantization; TP>1 falls back to the ordinary TP-aware loader and can still feed
+DLO AllGather or no-AllGather after scoped E2E. HSDP remains incompatible with
+DLO AllGather. A target revision may allow finalized per-tensor online FP8
+through the ordinary loader and AllGather; keep every other online quantizer
+fail-closed, and require model/card/topology E2E before promotion.
+Use deploy YAML for DP under `--omni`; vLLM DP CLI flags are rejected.
+
+### Gate 5: Add request-scoped acceleration safely
+
+Server-wide Cache-DiT support does not imply a per-request quality API. Only
+add request policy after defining calibrated quality tiers and a safe hook
+lifecycle using `SupportsRequestScopedCacheDiT`, `CacheDiTRequestSpec`, and
+`RequestScopedCacheDiTRuntime`. Validate alternating and concurrent quality
+tiers, real cache hits, refresh/reset, success, error, disconnect, abort, and
+the next uncached request. Do not batch different quality policies unless the
+batch compatibility key and hook ownership make that safe.
+
+Then test Cache-DiT against FP8, DLO, TP/SP, compile, and batching one
+combination at a time. See [production feature patterns](references/feature-patterns.md)
+for the lifecycle skeleton and compatibility matrix.
+
+### Gate 6: Optimize only from profiles
+
+Freeze one canonical workload manifest before profiling. Keep lossless runtime
+A/Bs, accelerated paths with numerical/quality trade-offs, and production
+topology studies in separate result lanes. Reconcile the client boundary as
+queue + encode + denoise + video/audio decode + output transport/codec +
+residual; do not hide a material residual in another stage.
+
+Profile stage time, GPU kernels, CPU/GPU synchronization, allocations, H2D,
+output payload/copies, and collectives before choosing work. Apply and A/B one
+change at a time:
+
+1. Remove synchronization and redundant denoise-loop work: hoist static prompt
+   conditioning/token refinement, RoPE tables, masks/metadata, bounded AdaLN
+   schedule projections, and reference scans; remove per-layer `.item()` and
+   unused masks/allocations.
+2. Select the fastest correct BF16 attention backend for each role and shape.
+3. Prefer explicit fused QKV, gate-up + `SiluAndMul`, RMSNorm/RoPE, AdaLN, and
+   layout/residual operators with guarded native fallbacks. Preserve every
+   materialized dtype/rounding boundary consumed by the unfused graph.
+4. Enable sparse attention only when platform, shape, topology, realized
+   sparsity, quality, fallback, and end-to-end speedup are all proven.
+5. Profile USP all-to-all count/bytes, packing, contiguous copies, overlap, and
+   scaling efficiency. Audit replicated cross-attention before using
+   `skip_sequence_parallel`. Qualify regular and accelerated Ulysses transport
+   independently; activation logs, JIT/readiness time, workspace growth,
+   stream ownership, maximum-shape warmup, and numerical drift are gates.
+   Preserve the checkpoint's Q:KV head ratio when padding GQA for Ulysses, and
+   validate strided QKV staging rather than assuming packed contiguity.
+6. Evaluate text-encoder or VAE disaggregation only if stage share, transfer
+   volume, reuse/concurrency, and independent scaling justify it. Tiling,
+   offload, or patch parallelism is not disaggregation.
+
+Do not combine independent optimizations into one performance claim. Preserve
+raw before/after runs with fixed workload and warmup policy.
+
+### Gate 7: Make serving interruptible and load-stable
+
+Treat request-mode batching and step-wise execution as separate capabilities:
+
+- request batching requires `supports_request_batch = True` and
+  `DiffusionRequestBatch -> list[DiffusionOutput]`, exactly one output per
+  request;
+- step execution requires the complete `SupportsStepExecution` contract:
+  `prepare_encode`, `denoise_step`, `step_scheduler`, and `post_decode`.
+
+Keep all mutable scheduler, RNG, latent, mask, cache, and step state request
+scoped. First validate `--step-execution --max-num-seqs 1` and step-boundary
+abort; only then test heterogeneous multi-request waves. Step continuous
+batching is experimental and is not automatically compatible with Cache-DiT.
+Before recommending it, predeclare a useful case and success threshold, then
+A/B it against request mode under the same arrival process. Structural support
+or a generic bridge is not latency, throughput, or cancellation evidence for a
+model.
+
+Test queued and in-flight abort, client disconnect, timeout, OOM, worker error,
+and restart. Require one terminal result, idempotent cleanup, no post-decode
+after abort, no cache/temp/VRAM/request-ID leak, and a successful next request.
+Inject late worker results/exceptions after cancellation and prove the result
+pump stays alive instead of raising `InvalidStateError`. For large batched or
+long-window video outputs, freeze dtype, range, layout, contiguity, ownership,
+payload size, serializer/codec limits, and offline-versus-HTTP semantics.
+Validate device-side output preparation, D2H/IPC or shared handles, remote
+encoding, event-loop responsiveness, and client materialization as separate
+stages, including abort and consumer failure cleanup.
+A model/VAE callback that publishes ordered chunks is only a producer contract;
+it is not transport, backpressure, cancellation, public streaming, or
+time-to-first-frame evidence. Distinguish complete-response faster-than-playback
+(`client E2E / output duration <= 1`) from streaming and report first-chunk,
+steady cadence, finalization, and complete-artifact latency separately.
+Run below-, near-, and above-saturation mixed-RPS soaks and report success/error
+rate, throughput, queue time, memory slope, temp growth, and worker health.
+Report p50/p95/p99 only from a declared arrival model with enough measured
+requests for the claimed percentile. See
+[serving and CI validation](references/production-validation.md).
+
+### Gate 8: Publish recipes and four independent CI tracks
+
+For every target vendor/card/topology, publish exact environment, serve/deploy
+command, one complete JSON or multipart curl per supported task, expected
+output checks, benchmark command, warmup/repeat/concurrency policy, raw metrics,
+per-rank HBM/host PSS, accuracy artifact, and limitations. Mark each
+CUDA/ROCm/NPU/XPU row `validated`, `unsupported`, or `not tested`; never inherit
+support from the platform abstraction or another card. Re-run DLO on each
+small-HBM recipe.
+
+Maintain separate CI gates:
+
+1. Function: strict load, API/offline positive and negative contracts.
+2. Accuracy: fixed reference revision/assets/seed/schedule and scoped tolerance.
+3. Performance: fixed best deployment plus memory-constrained/DLO row, raw JSON,
+   explicit warmup, enough samples for each claimed statistic, and owned
+   regression thresholds.
+4. Reliability: long mixed-RPS soak, abort/disconnect/fault cleanup, memory and
+   temporary-resource trend.
+
+## Production Definition of Done
+
+A model is production-ready only when:
+
+- every official advertised task passes API parity, offline/online parity,
+  strict loading, fixed-reference quality, and negative validation;
+- the recommended deployment row passes correctness, isolation, abort/error
+  cleanup, benchmark, and soak gates on named hardware;
+- online FP8 and DLO are each implemented and either validated in scoped rows
+  or explicitly limited/unsupported with fail-fast behavior;
+- per-request cache quality tiers have measured speed/quality frontiers and
+  request isolation, if advertised;
+- CUDA/ROCm/NPU/XPU recipes describe evidence rather than inferred support;
+- Function, Accuracy, Performance, and Reliability CI have owners, artifacts,
+  and actionable failure output;
+- accelerated paths identify every precision/quality trade-off, and the raw
+  offline plus online encoded output contracts are versioned and tested;
+- all unverified task/backend/cache/quant/offload/topology/hardware combinations
+  remain `not tested` and are not presented as supported.
+
+Day-0 support is still a valid milestone, but title, docs, and matrix must say
+which representative task passed and which production gates remain.

+
+## Freeze the upstream contract
+
+Pin three revisions independently:
+
+- official source implementation commit or package version;
+- checkpoint/model-card revision and partition;
+- vLLM-Omni target commit.
+
+Build a table before editing code. One row is one official task/partition.
+
+| Field | Required content |
+|---|---|
+| Task and partition | Official task name, checkpoint subdirectory, task selection rules |
+| Call contract | Constructor and call arguments, types, required/optional, official defaults |
+| Prompt/input | Prompt count/length, modality, MIME, order, count, decoded shape |
+| Size/time | Width/height alignment, pixels, frames, duration, FPS, start offset |
+| Denoise | Scheduler, sigma schedule, steps, CFG/guidance, seed behavior |
+| Output | Count, format, codec/sample rate, return type |
+| API | Offline mapping, sync endpoint, async endpoint/job lifecycle |
+| Rejection | Status code and stable error class/message for every invalid boundary |
+
+Official API parity includes limits and defaults, not just names. Do not add a
+generic default that changes a distilled checkpoint's fixed schedule, or accept
+an input combination the official task rejects.
+
+For every accepted boundary, add the neighboring rejected values. Examples:
+`max_images` and `max_images + 1`, smallest/largest legal duration, aligned and
+misaligned dimensions, omitted and illegal steps, one and too many outputs.
+
+## Validate before side effects
+
+Use one normalization/validation path for offline, sync, and async requests.
+The ordering must be:
+
+```text
+parse -> normalize aliases -> validate task/source matrix -> validate declared
+limits -> stream with byte caps -> inspect/decode with frame/pixel/duration caps
+-> persist only if needed -> submit to engine
+```
+
+Fail before download, persistence, job creation, or engine submit whenever the
+available metadata is sufficient. For streamed uploads, enforce:
+
+- total reference count and per-modality count before reading bodies;
+- per-file bytes while streaming;
+- aggregate bytes across all files;
+- decoded frames, duration, pixels, and media type before engine submission.
+
+On rejection, close streams and remove every partial temporary resource. Use
+HTTP 400 for invalid task/field combinations and 413 for payload limits. Test
+both sync and async paths; an invalid async request must not create a job ID.
+
+Do not trust client MIME alone. Sniff/validate content and keep ordered repeated
+multipart fields ordered. Avoid logging prompts, raw references, signed URLs,
+or base64 payloads.
+
+## Task request templates
+
+These are endpoint-shape templates, not model recipes. Replace placeholders
+with the exact official defaults and validated assets for the target model.
+Every production recipe must include all advertised tasks and an expected
+output check.
+
+### Text to image: JSON
+
+```bash
+curl --fail-with-body -sS -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1/images/generations \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "<model>",
+    "prompt": "<validated prompt>",
+    "size": "1024x1024",
+    "num_inference_steps": 30,
+    "seed": 42,
+    "response_format": "b64_json"
+  }' | jq -er '.data[0].b64_json' | base64 -d > output.png
+file output.png
+```
+
+### Image edit: multipart
+
+```bash
+curl --fail-with-body -sS -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1/images/edits \
+  -F 'model=<model>' \
+  -F 'prompt=<validated edit prompt>' \
+  -F 'image=@/path/to/reference.png;type=image/png' \
+  -F 'size=1024x1024' \
+  -F 'num_inference_steps=30' \
+  -F 'seed=42' \
+  -F 'output_format=png' \
+  | jq -er '.data[0].b64_json' | base64 -d > edited.png
+file edited.png
+```
+
+Use repeated `image` fields only if the model's official input matrix allows
+multiple ordered sources. Never describe a file upload as JSON-only.
+
+### Public request fields versus internal sampling fields
+
+Use the field exposed by the target revision's endpoint schema; do not rename
+it from the pipeline's internal attribute. For example, the current video JSON
+and multipart contracts expose `extra_params`, while serving translates that
+object into `DiffusionSamplingParams.extra_args`. Other request paths may
+expose canonical `extra_args` or nest it under `extra_body`. Inspect the exact
+Pydantic model/FastAPI form dependency and exercise the generated curl before
+publishing a recipe. A deprecation warning in a different endpoint is not
+evidence that an unrecognized multipart form field works here.
+
+Current endpoint map (re-check it at the target commit):
+
+| Endpoint | Public model-specific field |
+|---|---|
+| `/v1/videos`, `/v1/videos/sync` | Multipart `extra_params` JSON string |
+| `/v1/images/generations` | JSON `extra_params` object |
+| `/v1/chat/completions` diffusion | `extra_body.extra_args` |
+| `/v1/images/edits` | Declared typed form fields only |
+| `/v1/audio/generate` | Declared typed JSON fields only |
+
+Prefer declared top-level fields. Use a generic model-specific envelope only
+when the endpoint actually exposes it.
+
+### Text to video: multipart
+
+```bash
+curl --fail-with-body -sS -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1/videos/sync \
+  -H 'Accept: video/mp4' \
+  -F 'model=<model>' \
+  -F 'prompt=<validated prompt>' \
+  -F 'size=1280x720' \
+  -F 'num_frames=81' \
+  -F 'fps=16' \
+  -F 'num_inference_steps=30' \
+  -F 'seed=42' \
+  -F 'extra_params={"task":"<official-task>"}' \
+  -o output.mp4
+ffprobe -v error -show_entries stream=codec_name,width,height,r_frame_rate \
+  -of json output.mp4
+```
+
+### Image/video to video: multipart
+
+```bash
+curl --fail-with-body -sS -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1/videos/sync \
+  -H 'Accept: video/mp4' \
+  -F 'model=<model>' \
+  -F 'prompt=<validated prompt>' \
+  -F 'num_frames=81' \
+  -F 'fps=16' \
+  -F 'num_inference_steps=30' \
+  -F 'seed=42' \
+  -F 'extra_params={"task":"<official-task>","start_time_seconds":0}' \
+  -F 'input_reference=@/path/to/reference.png;type=image/png' \
+  -o i2v.mp4
+
+curl --fail-with-body -sS -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1/videos/sync \
+  -H 'Accept: video/mp4' \
+  -F 'model=<model>' \
+  -F 'prompt=<validated prompt>' \
+  -F 'num_frames=81' \
+  -F 'num_inference_steps=30' \
+  -F 'seed=43' \
+  -F 'extra_params={"task":"<official-task>","start_time_seconds":0}' \
+  -F 'input_reference=@/path/to/reference.mp4;type=video/mp4' \
+  -o v2v.mp4
+```
+
+For multiple references, repeat the model's accepted multipart field in
+official order. Include complete downloadable or repository fixtures plus
+SHA256 hashes. A placeholder-only recipe is not runnable evidence.
+
+### Text to audio: JSON
+
+```bash
+curl --fail-with-body -sS -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1/audio/generate \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "<model>",
+    "input": "<validated audio prompt>",
+    "audio_length": 10.0,
+    "num_inference_steps": 100,
+    "seed": 42,
+    "response_format": "wav"
+  }' -o output.wav
+ffprobe -v error -show_entries stream=codec_name,sample_rate,channels \
+  -of json output.wav
+```
+
+Use `/v1/audio/generate` for general diffusion audio. Do not substitute the
+speech API unless the model is actually served through the speech contract.
+
+### Async video lifecycle
+
+Alongside `/v1/videos/sync`, include `POST /v1/videos`, status polling,
+content retrieval, cancellation/abort if public, and cleanup assertions. The
+same request must normalize to the same engine sampling parameters in both
+modes.
+
+## Serving benchmark template
+
+Run a smoke first, then fixed-concurrency and arrival-rate tests. Video task
+names for the harness are `t2v`, `i2v`, `ti2v`, or `v2v`; model-specific task
+selection belongs in `--extra-body` when required.
+
+```bash
+python benchmarks/diffusion/diffusion_benchmark_serving.py \
+  --base-url http://127.0.0.1:8091 \
+  --endpoint /v1/videos \
+  --model '<model>' \
+  --dataset random \
+  --task t2v \
+  --num-prompts 100 \
+  --width 1280 --height 720 \
+  --num-frames 81 --fps 16 \
+  --num-inference-steps 30 \
+  --request-rate 0.2 \
+  --max-concurrency 4 \
+  --warmup-requests 4 \
+  --warmup-concurrency 4 \
+  --extra-body '{"extra_params":"{\"task\":\"<official-task>\"}"}' \
+  --output-file result.json
+```
+
+The video backend currently stringifies each multipart value. Pre-serialize
+the nested `extra_params` object as above; passing it as a nested object would
+produce Python dict syntax rather than valid JSON. If the target revision
+changes the backend to JSON-encode dict/list values, update and smoke-test this
+command against that revision.
+
+For i2v/v2v, use the harness's validated dataset/trace path or provide the
+documented media source; do not silently benchmark t2v and label it i2v. Keep
+prompt, assets, seed, dimensions, frames, steps, guidance, warmup, concurrency,
+and arrival process identical across A/B runs.
+
+Keep three benchmark lanes distinct:
+
+1. lossless runtime A/B with the released schedule/precision/attention policy;
+2. accelerated-path A/B that changes one adapter, quantization, cache, or
+   sparsity policy and adds same-seed quality evidence;
+3. production-topology studies that vary placement or parallelism and report a
+   latency/throughput/memory frontier rather than a kernel speedup.
+
+For a fixed single-request A/B, retain every measured run and report median or
+mean with range after an explicit warmup; do not infer p95/p99 from a few
+repetitions. Tail latency requires a declared arrival process, request count,
+concurrency, and enough successful samples. Reconcile client E2E with queue,
+encoder, denoise, video/audio decode, D2H/IPC, codec, and residual timings.
+
+For generated media, define `real-time` rather than relying on the label. A
+complete-response claim uses `client E2E / validated output duration <= 1` and
+does not imply streaming or low time-to-first-frame. Report first chunk/fragment
+and cadence separately when a public streaming route exists. Never add gains
+across benchmark lanes with different schedules, prompts, seeds, artifacts, or
+topologies.
+
+The diffusion serving harness currently covers image/video task families, not
+`/v1/audio/generate`. For text-to-audio, use the target model's task-specific
+audio benchmark if one exists; otherwise add a serving harness that records
+request rate, concurrency, latency, generated-audio seconds per second, error
+rate, and output validation. Do not relabel the TTS harness or a video workload
+as diffusion-audio evidence.
+
+## Hardware recipe contract
+
+Create a separate row and runnable section for each vendor/card/topology:
+
+| Evidence | Required detail |
+|---|---|
+| Identity | Vendor, exact SKU, device count, HBM, interconnect |
+| Software | Driver, CUDA/ROCm/CANN/oneAPI, framework/container, dependency versions |
+| Source | vLLM-Omni commit, official/checkpoint revision and hashes |
+| Deployment | dtype, attention backend per role, TP/SP/CFG/HSDP/DP, cache, quant, offload |
+| Commands | Complete deploy YAML/serve command, every task curl, benchmark command |
+| Method | Warmup exclusion, repetitions or request count, concurrency, arrival distribution, duration, statistic definitions |
+| Results | Success rate, p50/p95/p99, RPS/throughput per device, stage latency |
+| Memory | Load/materialize, resident, encode, denoise, decode, transient per-rank HBM and host PSS |
+| Quality | Metric/tolerance, artifact links/hashes, temporal/audio checks |
+| Output | Raw/offline dtype, range, layout and ownership; online codec, payload bytes, transport route and client boundary |
+| Limits | `validated`/`limited`/`unsupported`/`not tested`, fallback/rejection behavior |
+
+Use current paths such as `recipes/<vendor>/`, `recipes/README.md`, supported
+models, and feature compatibility tables. Top-level documentation must link to
+the scoped matrix; it must not use an unqualified checkmark that hides a ROCm,
+NPU, XPU, task, topology, or dtype limitation.
+
+DLO evidence is per card, especially on small-HBM devices. A DLO result on one
+CUDA card does not establish another CUDA SKU, ROCm, NPU, or XPU support.
+
+## Best deployment selection
+
+Benchmark a correctness-approved candidate matrix, not every theoretical
+combination. Choose the recommended row by the production objective—latency,
+throughput, cost, or small-HBM fit—and document that objective.
+
+Do not recommend a row until it passes:
+
+- all advertised task/API contracts;
+- fixed-reference quality;
+- request isolation and abort/error cleanup;
+- sustained arrival-rate tests;
+- per-rank HBM and host PSS limits;
+- hardware-specific accuracy and performance CI.
+
+Keep the most memory-constrained DLO row even when it is not the fastest; it is
+a separate production recipe, not a failed latency candidate.

+## Compatibility matrix

+Create rows at the granularity below. Add evidence links and a reason for every
+non-validated state.
+
+| Task/shape | Execution mode/capacity | Backend/layout | Quant | Cache policy | Offload | Topology | Hardware/dtype | Output contract/transport | State | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `<task>/<shape>/<schedule>` | serial request / 1 | SDPA, padded | BF16 | none | resident | 1 device | `<card>` BF16 | raw float / local | `not tested` | — |
+| `<task>/<shape>/<schedule>` | step / N | `<fast>`, packed | BF16 | none | resident | `<TP/SP>` | `<card>` BF16 | encoded / subprocess | `not tested` | — |
+| `<task>/<shape>/<schedule>` | step / N | `<fast>`, packed | FP8 | high | DLO no-AG | `<TP/SP>` | `<card>` | device uint8 / SHM | `not tested` | — |
+
+Initialize every row as `not tested`; the table is a work queue, not evidence.
+Promote the dense BF16 row to the oracle only after its scoped parity passes.
+Add one axis at a time. If the runtime cannot
+enforce a known-incompatible combination, add construction/admission
+validation before writing a recipe.
+
+## Online FP8
+
+### Component routing
+
+The public builder accepts one method or a longest-prefix component map:
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.quantization import build_quant_config
+
+config = build_quant_config({
+    "transformer": {
+        "method": "fp8",
+        "ignored_layers": ["transformer.final_layer"],
+    },
+    "text_encoder": None,
+    "vae": None,
+    "default": None,
+})
+
+assert config.resolve("transformer.blocks.0.attn.qkv_proj") is not None
+assert config.resolve("text_encoder.layers.0.mlp") is None
+assert config.resolve("vae.decoder.conv_out") is None
+```
+
+Use actual runtime prefixes. Multi-DiT or nested pipelines may not use the
+generic names `transformer` and `vae`. A prefix that falls through to a default
+is not component validation. Add tests for every included and ignored prefix.
+
+For CLI serving, first validate resident DiT-only FP8:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve '<model>' --omni --quantization fp8 --max-num-seqs 1
+```
+
+For scoped routing:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve '<model>' --omni \
+  --diffusion-quantization-config \
+  '{"<dit-runtime-prefix>":{"method":"fp8","ignored_layers":["<exact-linear-prefix>"]},"<vae-runtime-prefix>":null,"default":null}' \
+  --max-num-seqs 1
+```
+
+Do not publish these placeholders. A recipe must contain the target model's
+verified prefixes.
+
+### Quantizable module wiring
+
+Pass `quant_config` and a stable prefix through every vLLM linear. Keep
+precision-sensitive modulation/norm layers safe unless proven otherwise.
+
+```python
+from vllm.model_executor.layers.activation import SiluAndMul
+from vllm.model_executor.layers.linear import (
+    MergedColumnParallelLinear,
+    QKVParallelLinear,
+    RowParallelLinear,
+)
+
+self.qkv_proj = QKVParallelLinear(
+    hidden_size=hidden_size,
+    head_size=head_dim,
+    total_num_heads=num_heads,
+    total_num_kv_heads=num_kv_heads,
+    bias=False,
+    quant_config=quant_config,
+    prefix=f"{prefix}.attn.qkv_proj",
+)
+self.gate_up_proj = MergedColumnParallelLinear(
+    hidden_size,
+    [intermediate_size, intermediate_size],
+    bias=False,
+    quant_config=quant_config,
+    prefix=f"{prefix}.mlp.gate_up_proj",
+)
+self.act_fn = SiluAndMul()
+self.down_proj = RowParallelLinear(
+    intermediate_size,
+    hidden_size,
+    bias=False,
+    input_is_parallel=True,
+    quant_config=quant_config,
+    prefix=f"{prefix}.mlp.down_proj",
+)
+```
+
+Set required checkpoint parameters to fail rather than silently initialize if
+the current loader supports `missing_param_init = "error"`.
+
+### FP8 evidence
+
+For each task/hardware row, capture:
+
+- startup proves the FP8 quant method is attached to intended linear modules;
+- no unexpected BF16 fallback and no meta/uninitialized parameters;
+- same-seed component, trajectory, and final-artifact comparison with BF16;
+- HBM at load, resident, encode, denoise, decode, and peak;
+- cold load time; fixed-work warm-latency raw runs; and serving p50/p95/p99 plus
+  throughput only from a declared arrival load with enough samples;
+- named ignored layers and why their BF16 retention is required.
+
+DiT FP8 evidence does not cover the text encoder or VAE. CUDA evidence does not
+cover ROCm/NPU/XPU. A pre-quantized checkpoint is a different loading path from
+online FP8 and needs its own state. If it is also pruned, rotated, distilled, or
+adapter-modified, report that model delta explicitly; BF16-versus-artifact
+quality and speed are deployment comparisons, not pure quantization ablations.
+
+## Strict fused-weight loading
+
+Never use `param.data.copy_()` for quantizable vLLM parameters. Transform the
+checkpoint layout before invoking the parameter loader so the online quant
+loader remains outermost:
+
+```python
+from vllm.model_executor.model_loader.weight_utils import default_weight_loader
+
+param = params[target_name]
+weight_loader = getattr(param, "weight_loader", default_weight_loader)
+
+if target_name.endswith(".qkv_proj.weight"):
+    packed_qkv = reorder_checkpoint_qkv(checkpoint_weight)
+    weight_loader(param, packed_qkv)
+elif target_name.endswith(".gate_up_proj.weight"):
+    gate, up = checkpoint_weight.chunk(2, dim=0)
+    weight_loader(param, gate, 0)
+    weight_loader(param, up, 1)
+else:
+    weight_loader(param, checkpoint_weight)
+```
+
+Track source shards per fused destination:
+
+```python
+expected = {
+    "blocks.0.attn.qkv_proj.weight": {"q", "k", "v"},
+    "blocks.0.mlp.gate_up_proj.weight": {0, 1},
+}
+seen = {name: set() for name in expected}
+
+# After mapping/loading each source:
+seen[target_name].add(shard_id)
+
+incomplete = {
+    name: sorted(shards - seen[name], key=str)
+    for name, shards in expected.items()
+    if shards - seen[name]
+}
+if incomplete:
+    raise RuntimeError(f"incomplete fused checkpoint parameters: {incomplete}")
+```
+
+Also compare retained model parameters with the returned loaded set. Explicit
+checkpoint ignores need a reason and test; an unknown or missing weight is not
+an ignore policy.
+
+Load-time adapter fusion creates a dedicated model, not a request-switchable
+LoRA. Pin the base and adapter revisions, validate every low-rank and full-rank
+delta target, freeze the adapter-declared schedule/task, and fuse before
+sharding only when the loader contract proves identical rank-local weights.
+Reject offload or host-weight paths that bypass that fusion rather than serving
+the unfused base model silently.
+
+## Distributed layerwise offload
+
+### Declare component topology
+
+Use `SupportsComponentDiscovery` and `OffloadPlan`. Validate all dotted paths
+at construction/test time because discovery may otherwise warn and skip.
+
+Treat a future/requested `--layerwise-offload-components` selector as a public
+API only if it exists in the target revision. Today, express component topology
+with `OffloadPlan` (`on_demand_component_paths`, `block_attrs`,
+`encoder_block_attrs`, `resident_dit_paths`, and `offload_submodules`). Do not
+invent a CLI flag or claim component-selective DLO from discovery declarations
+alone; validate the selector separately when it lands.
+
+```python
+from operator import attrgetter
+
+import torch
+
+def assert_offload_path(root, path):
+    value = attrgetter(path)(root)
+    if not isinstance(value, torch.nn.Module):
+        raise TypeError(f"offload path {path!r} is not an nn.Module")
+    return value
+
+for path in (
+    *pipeline._dit_modules,
+    *pipeline._encoder_modules,
+    *pipeline._vae_modules,
+    *pipeline._offload_plan.on_demand_component_paths,
+):
+    assert_offload_path(pipeline, path)
+```
+
+For `block_attrs`, resolve the DiT first and then each declared block attribute.
+Require an indexable block container with at least one `nn.Module`. Validate
+`offload_submodules`, `resident_dit_paths`, and `encoder_block_attrs` similarly.
+
+### Keep host storage loader-owned
+
+Current DLO accepts a loader-produced `HostWeightPlan`. Pipeline authors should
+not instantiate this plan or add ad hoc mmap capability flags. The loader must
+preflight complete runtime/checkpoint bindings, names, shapes, dtypes, persistent
+buffers, and represented transforms before it skips ordinary materialization.
+The exact accepted plan is consumed once by DLO; a rejected plan records an
+observable fallback reason and continues through the ordinary loader.
+
+Direct checkpoint mmap currently requires TP1 without HSDP or online
+quantization. TP>1 falls back to the ordinary TP-aware loader and may feed DLO
+AllGather or no-AllGather; the current design records a bounded DP2xTP2
+AllGather smoke, but that path does not receive direct-mmap host-page sharing.
+Per-tensor online FP8 must use the ordinary loader. Current revisions can admit
+its finalized weight/scale layout to DLO AllGather, including transposed runtime
+weights, while unsupported online quantizers still fail closed. Direct mmap
+remains unavailable, so capture the temporary full-model host materialization
+before rank sharding.
+
+Host Weight Runtime is a distinct opt-in path. Current final-layout consumers
+use no-AllGather DLO and exact model-declared BF16 representations. In
+`preferred` mode, consume an exact local hit or canonically load and publish for
+a future startup; in `required` mode, consume only and fail on a miss or unusable
+artifact. HWR must not interact with DLO AllGather, online quantization, HSDP,
+LoRA/adapted weights, or an unrecognized load format unless the target revision
+adds an exact producer/restore contract. It is immutable node-local CPU backing,
+not zero-copy GPU execution; the DLO transport still owns staging or direct H2D.
+Qualify identity inputs, cold population, warm reuse, atomic concurrent
+publication, source digests, corruption/quarantine, lease cleanup, capacity,
+node-local PSS, H2D, and E2E latency. A host-memory saving that materially
+regresses transfer or request latency is a separate memory-first deployment.
+
+### DLO deployment modes
+
+Treat these paths separately:
+
+| Path | Weight/runtime behavior | Required boundaries |
+|---|---|---|
+| DLO AllGather | Rank-sharded pinned host tensors; reconstruct layer through collective | TP>1 uses ordinary TP-aware loader output; HSDP and unsupported online quantizers are rejected; finalized per-tensor online FP8 is eligible only when recognized by the target revision; concurrent ranks must participate consistently |
+| DLO no-AllGather | Loader-approved checkpoint mmap or ordinary runtime tensors; each rank streams a complete block | Direct mmap is TP1/non-HSDP/non-online-quant only; TP/HSDP/online quant use ordinary runtime tensors and require scoped E2E |
+| SP + DLO | SP group can supply the DLO collective group | Packed boundaries and collective order require E2E |
+
+Single-stage examples:
+
+```bash
+# SP + DLO AllGather candidate; validate exact model/card before publishing.
+vllm serve '<model>' --omni \
+  --enable-distributed-layerwise-offload \
+  --usp 4 \
+  --max-num-seqs 1
+
+# TP + DLO rank-local candidate; not a support statement.
+vllm serve '<model>' --omni \
+  --tensor-parallel-size 2 \
+  --enable-distributed-layerwise-offload \
+  --dlo-no-use-allgather \
+  --max-num-seqs 1
+```
+
+Under `--omni`, configure DP in a deploy YAML rather than passing vLLM DP CLI
+flags:
+
+```yaml
+pipeline: <registered-pipeline>
+async_chunk: false
+data_parallel_size: 4
+stages:
+  - stage_id: 0
+    devices: "0,1,2,3"
+    max_num_seqs: 1
+    enable_distributed_layerwise_offload: true
+    dlo_use_allgather: true
+    parallel_config:
+      tensor_parallel_size: 1
+      sequence_parallel_size: 1
+```
+
+```bash
+vllm serve '<model>' --omni --deploy-config /path/to/dlo_dp4.yaml
+```
+
+Keep the YAML next to the validated recipe. Match its schema to the target
+revision; do not assume a model accepts another pipeline's deploy config.
+
+### DLO validation sequence
+
+1. Resident BF16 reference.
+2. Ordinary layerwise offload parity.
+3. DLO enable, warmup, same-seed generation, disable/restart.
+4. AllGather and no-AllGather separately.
+5. Concurrent requests with different prompts and identical collective-affecting
+   parameters; then reject or schedule incompatible steps/shapes safely.
+6. Queued/in-flight abort, error, idle rank, worker exit, and next request.
+7. TP, SP, cache, compile, online FP8 one axis at a time.
+8. Loader-plan selection/fallback reason, cold/warm storage lifecycle, and
+   corruption/stale-entry recovery when mmap/cache backing is advertised.
+9. Replica-local request preparation plus DLO-group-only weight collectives in
+   DP; exercise concurrent replicas to catch accidental WORLD rendezvous.
+10. Sweep resident block counts; publish raw latency/HBM pairs, dominated
+    points, and the non-dominated Pareto frontier.
+11. Per-rank HBM, host PSS for the full process tree, H2D and collective trace.
+
+On a small-HBM card, measure transient encode/VAE peaks as well as resident DiT
+weights. If a non-DiT component still exceeds HBM, combine only independently
+validated on-demand component staging, VAE tiling/patching, or another topology;
+do not hide the remaining peak behind the phrase “DLO enabled.”
+
+## Per-request Cache-DiT
+
+### Policy and lifecycle skeleton
+
+First verify that the target revision contains the shared protocol/runtime.
+If not, follow the nearest current model's lifecycle without inventing a new
+public API.
+
+The following is a **serial/exclusive request-mode sketch only**. Pipeline-wide
+hooks are mutable; concurrent requests need an admission/batching key and
+runner-owned transition serialization before this shape is safe.
+
+```python
+import torch.nn as nn
+
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.cache.cachedit import (
+    CacheDiTBackend,
+    CacheDiTRequestSpec,
+    RequestScopedCacheDiTRuntime,
+)
+
+class MyPipeline(nn.Module):
+    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
+        super().__init__()
+        # ... components ...
+        self._cache_dit_runtime = RequestScopedCacheDiTRuntime(self)
+
+    def adopt_cache_dit_backend(self, backend: CacheDiTBackend) -> None:
+        self._cache_dit_runtime.adopt(
+            backend,
+            installation_key="my_model.generic",
+        )
+
+    def is_cache_dit_enabled(self) -> bool:
+        return self._cache_dit_runtime.is_enabled
+
+    def _cache_spec(self, quality, steps):
+        if quality == "lossless":
+            return None
+        if quality == "high":
+            return CacheDiTRequestSpec(
+                installation_key="my_model.high.v1",
+                cache_config=self._validated_high_config,
+                num_inference_steps=steps,
+            )
+        raise ValueError(f"unsupported quality tier: {quality!r}")
+
+    def forward(self, req):
+        quality, steps = validate_and_resolve_request(req)
+        self._cache_dit_runtime.prepare(self._cache_spec(quality, steps))
+        return self._run_validated_request(req)
+```
+
+The snippet shows the model-owned transition for exclusive execution. Put
+disable/restore handling in the runtime/runner lifecycle that owns success,
+exception, disconnect, and asynchronous abort; a `try/finally` inside
+`forward()` alone cannot observe every server cancellation boundary.
+
+The `installation_key` must include every policy dimension that changes hook
+installation; changes in step count can use runtime refresh. `None` disables
+installed hooks. Do not mutate the global startup cache config for a request.
+
+Centralize cleanup in the owning request/runner boundary. An exception, abort,
+disconnect, or admission failure must not leave a changed hook policy visible
+to the next request. The exact owner depends on the target revision; add a
+failure-injection test rather than relying on `forward()` alone to observe
+asynchronous abort.
+
+Example model-specific request form after calibration:
+
+```bash
+curl --fail-with-body -sS -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1/videos/sync \
+  -F 'model=<model>' \
+  -F 'prompt=<prompt>' \
+  -F 'quality=lossless' \
+  -F 'num_inference_steps=<validated-steps>' \
+  -o lossless.mp4
+
+curl --fail-with-body -sS -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1/videos/sync \
+  -F 'model=<model>' \
+  -F 'prompt=<prompt>' \
+  -F 'quality=high' \
+  -F 'num_inference_steps=<validated-steps>' \
+  -o high.mp4
+```
+
+Do not expose these tier names merely because another model uses them.
+
+### Cache-DiT evidence
+
+For every tier/task/shape/schedule:
+
+- show real cache hits/skipped blocks, not only “backend enabled” logs;
+- measure fixed-work speed and quality against lossless/native;
+- publish a speed/quality frontier and chosen tier mapping;
+- alternate lossless/high/lossless and vary steps to prove restore/refresh;
+- interleave tasks and shapes; run concurrent requests only when scheduling
+  guarantees exclusive compatible hook state;
+- inject validation error, denoise error, disconnect, and abort, then prove the
+  next request starts with its requested policy;
+- bound any cached tensors and clear request-local state.
+
+## Combination gates
+
+Start every combination as `not tested`.
+
+| Combination | Default production posture |
+|---|---|
+| Direct checkpoint mmap + TP>1/HSDP/online quant | Preflight falls back to the ordinary loader; do not claim direct-mmap savings |
+| Per-tensor online FP8 + DLO AllGather | Generic compatibility exists for finalized weights/scales; each model/card/topology remains a candidate until E2E, and other online quantizers fail closed |
+| Online FP8 + DLO no-AllGather | Candidate only after model/card/topology E2E |
+| TP>1 + DLO AllGather | Ordinary TP-aware loader only; bounded DP2xTP2 smoke exists, but each new model/card/topology still needs E2E |
+| TP>1 + DLO no-AllGather | Ordinary TP-aware loader only; candidate with limited generic coverage |
+| HSDP + DLO AllGather | Reject; it would double-shard HSDP-managed parameters |
+| HSDP + DLO no-AllGather | Configuration-compatible candidate with limited E2E coverage |
+| Cache-DiT + online FP8 | Separate trajectory, hit-rate, HBM, latency test |
+| Cache-DiT + DLO | Verify hooks, streamed blocks, memory peaks, abort cleanup |
+| Cache-DiT + step execution | Do not advertise until lifecycle/batching support is explicit |
+| Sparse attention + Ring | Verify backend execution; reject silently ignored sparse settings |
+| Load-time fused adapter + offload/HWR | Reject unless the selected loader path applies and validates the same fusion before sharding/storage |
+| Packed attention + any topology | Unequal-sample boundary parity is mandatory |
+| Device-side uint8 preparation + offline caller | Version the dtype/range/layout change; HTTP MP4 parity does not preserve the raw tensor contract |
+| Device-side preparation + remote codec | Validate route selection, strided/contiguous layouts, payload bytes, ordering, fallback, and encoded-media parity |
+
+A startup-only test never upgrades a combination. Require request output,
+parity/quality, actual fast-path evidence, resource cleanup, and a benchmark on
+the named hardware.

+
+## Measurement loop
+
+Do not start with a list of optimizations. Start with a fixed correctness and
+performance workload:
+
+```text
+model/checkpoint revision + prompt/media hashes + seed + dimensions/frames +
+scheduler/sigma/steps/guidance + task + dtype + backend + topology + hardware
+```
+
+Capture:
+
+- stage time: load, encode, conditioning, denoise, VAE decode/postprocess;
+- GPU trace: kernel duration/count, launch gaps, allocations, H2D, collectives;
+- CPU trace: preprocessing, per-layer sync, Python dispatch, temporary files;
+- memory: per-rank HBM peaks and process-tree host PSS;
+- output: device preparation, D2H/IPC, payload bytes, codec wall/process CPU,
+  event-loop wait, client materialization, and signed residual;
+- serving: queue time, throughput, errors, request mix, and distribution samples.
+
+For a fixed-work single-request A/B, run one explicit warmup policy and at
+least three measured repetitions, keep every raw run, and report median or mean
+with range. Do not derive p95/p99 from three samples. For tail latency, declare
+the arrival model and collect enough successful requests for the percentile and
+confidence claimed. Implement one optimization at a time, re-run parity, and
+report both local kernel and end-to-end deltas. A kernel win that moves no E2E
+metric is not a production speed claim.
+
+Use the pipeline profiler already exposed by the target revision when
+available, and use PyTorch/CUDA/ROCm/NPU/XPU profiling tools appropriate to the
+platform. Do not force every platform through a CUDA-only workflow.
+
+## Faster BF16 attention
+
+### Shared attention wiring
+
+Use the shared role-aware attention layer and give it the true local head
+counts and QKV layout:
+
+```python
+import torch
+
+from vllm.model_executor.layers.linear import (
+    QKVParallelLinear,
+    RowParallelLinear,
+)
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.attention.layer import Attention
+
+class SelfAttention(torch.nn.Module):
+    def __init__(
+        self,
+        hidden_size,
+        head_dim,
+        num_heads,
+        num_kv_heads,
+        quant_config=None,
+        prefix="",
+    ):
+        super().__init__()
+        self.head_dim = head_dim
+        self.qkv_proj = QKVParallelLinear(
+            hidden_size=hidden_size,
+            head_size=head_dim,
+            total_num_heads=num_heads,
+            total_num_kv_heads=num_kv_heads,
+            bias=False,
+            quant_config=quant_config,
+            prefix=f"{prefix}.qkv_proj",
+        )
+        self.attention = Attention(
+            num_heads=self.qkv_proj.num_heads,
+            num_kv_heads=self.qkv_proj.num_kv_heads,
+            head_size=head_dim,
+            softmax_scale=head_dim**-0.5,
+            causal=False,
+            qkv_layout="BSND",
+            role="self",
+            prefix=prefix,
+        )
+        self.out_proj = RowParallelLinear(
+            num_heads * head_dim,
+            hidden_size,
+            bias=False,
+            input_is_parallel=True,
+            quant_config=quant_config,
+            prefix=f"{prefix}.out_proj",
+        )
+
+    def forward(self, x, attn_metadata=None):
+        qkv, _ = self.qkv_proj(x)
+        q_size = self.qkv_proj.num_heads * self.head_dim
+        kv_size = self.qkv_proj.num_kv_heads * self.head_dim
+        q, k, v = qkv.split([q_size, kv_size, kv_size], dim=-1)
+        q = q.unflatten(-1, (self.qkv_proj.num_heads, self.head_dim))
+        k = k.unflatten(-1, (self.qkv_proj.num_kv_heads, self.head_dim))
+        v = v.unflatten(-1, (self.qkv_proj.num_kv_heads, self.head_dim))
+        out = self.attention(q, k, v, attn_metadata)
+        out = out.flatten(-2)
+        out, _ = self.out_proj(out)
+        return out
+```
+
+Add Q/K norm and RoPE in the official order before the `Attention` call. Keep
+checkpoint mapping for the fused QKV and output projection complete.
+
+### Backend qualification
+
+For each role (`self`, cross-attention category, token refiner, etc.), record:
+
+- actual selected backend from logs/trace;
+- supported dtype, head size, QKV layout, mask/metadata, packed varlen behavior;
+- platform and compute capability;
+- TP/SP/Ring/AllGather-KV restrictions;
+- fallback behavior and whether fallback changes the claimed performance.
+
+Use unequal packed samples and compare with dense SDPA. Verify `cu_seqlens`,
+max sequence length, padding exclusion, modality boundaries, CFG ownership, and
+output slicing. Do not pass an `attn_mask` and assume it is consumed. Inspect
+the backend contract and trace.
+
+TRTLLM, Flash Attention, cuDNN, NPU varlen, and other backends are independent
+qualification rows. The shared `Attention` class does not make every backend
+packed-safe or faster automatically. Ring and hybrid paths require their own
+boundary parity. AllGather-KV and specific backend combinations may fail fast;
+keep that behavior visible in docs.
+
+## Sparse attention
+
+Sparse attention is a backend/model/platform optimization, not a synonym for
+low-precision dense attention. Enable it only after dense BF16 parity.
+
+For every candidate task/shape/topology:
+
+1. State the sparsity policy, selected backend/kernel, block/head dimensions,
+   supported hardware, external kernel/package revision, and fallback.
+2. Prove the sparse kernel executed and report realized sparsity; an enabled
+   flag is insufficient.
+3. Compare same-seed per-block outputs, denoise trajectory, and final artifact
+   with dense attention.
+4. Add modality-specific metrics: temporal consistency and audio/video sync for
+   video, spectral/audio quality for audio, and prompt/image metrics as relevant.
+5. Report attention time and full E2E time. Include preprocessing/index-build
+   overhead, peak memory, and the exact dense control.
+6. Validate each task and shape. Do not extrapolate a T2V result to I2V/Ref2V,
+   or NPU sparse support to CUDA/ROCm/XPU.
+
+If Ring bypasses the selected backend or a sparse setting would be silently
+ignored, reject the combination. Prefer a visible dense fallback only when the
+recipe labels the row `limited` and does not claim sparse speed.
+
+## Fusion-first operator patterns
+
+Prefer current shared/custom operators with explicit guards and native
+fallbacks. Prove parity at operator, block, trajectory, and artifact levels,
+then use a trace to prove fewer launches/bytes or lower latency.
+
+### Q/K RMSNorm + RoPE
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.layers.norm import RMSNorm
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.layers.rope import RotaryEmbedding, apply_rope_to_qk
+
+self.norm_q = RMSNorm(head_dim, eps=eps)
+self.norm_k = RMSNorm(head_dim, eps=eps)
+# Example only: set these booleans from the official checkpoint contract.
+use_neox_layout = False
+cos_sin_are_half_dim = True
+self.rope = RotaryEmbedding(
+    is_neox_style=use_neox_layout,
+    half_head_dim=cos_sin_are_half_dim,
+)
+
+q = self.norm_q(q)
+k = self.norm_k(k)
+q, k = apply_rope_to_qk(self.rope, q, k, (cos, sin))
+```
+
+Replace the illustrative booleans with the official layout in real code.
+Preserve partial rotary dimensions by splitting the rotated prefix and concatenating
+the pass-through suffix. If 3D cos/sin includes a batch axis, the current
+shared path assumes the values are shared across the batch; per-sample
+different positions require a proven representation/path.
+
+For packed `[tokens, heads, head_dim]` tensors with a non-interleaved
+`[cos | sin]` table, the current shared fused boundary is:
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.layers.fused_qk_norm_rope import fused_qk_norm_rope
+
+q, k = fused_qk_norm_rope(
+    q,
+    k,
+    self.norm_q.weight,
+    self.norm_k.weight,
+    rope_table,
+    self.norm_q.variance_epsilon,
+)
+```
+
+Its CUDA fast path currently specializes BF16 `head_dim=128` and
+`rotary_dim=96`; other valid inputs take the eager implementation. The separate
+shared RMSNorm and RotaryEmbedding still provide the general cross-platform
+baseline. Treat NPU/MUSA and other vendor fusions as independent qualification
+rows, and do not generalize a model-specific Triton kernel without compatible
+shape, layout, frequency partition, dtype, and platform evidence.
+
+### Fused QKV projection
+
+Use `QKVParallelLinear` as shown above. Qualification includes:
+
+- `num_heads` and `num_kv_heads` divisibility by TP;
+- local split sizes from the layer, never reusing global counts after TP;
+- Q/K/V checkpoint order conversion before the vLLM loader;
+- all Q, K, and V shards present;
+- quantization scale/loader mapping when FP8 or another method is enabled.
+
+### Gate-up projection + fused SwiGLU
+
+```python
+from vllm.model_executor.layers.activation import SiluAndMul
+from vllm.model_executor.layers.linear import (
+    MergedColumnParallelLinear,
+    RowParallelLinear,
+)
+
+self.gate_up_proj = MergedColumnParallelLinear(
+    input_size=hidden_size,
+    output_sizes=[intermediate_size, intermediate_size],
+    bias=False,
+    quant_config=quant_config,
+    prefix=f"{prefix}.gate_up_proj",
+)
+self.act_fn = SiluAndMul()
+self.down_proj = RowParallelLinear(
+    input_size=intermediate_size,
+    output_size=hidden_size,
+    bias=False,
+    input_is_parallel=True,
+    quant_config=quant_config,
+    prefix=f"{prefix}.down_proj",
+)
+
+gate_up, _ = self.gate_up_proj(x)
+x = self.act_fn(gate_up)
+x, _ = self.down_proj(x)
+```
+
+Map both checkpoint `gate_proj` and `up_proj` shards into the merged parameter
+and require both. A merged projection followed by `F.silu(gate) * up` is not
+the same claim as the `SiluAndMul` fused activation kernel; identify what the
+trace actually uses.
+
+### AdaLN
+
+Use a shared layer only when its mathematical/return contract matches the
+official model:
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.layers.adalayernorm import AdaLayerNorm
+
+self.adaln = AdaLayerNorm(
+    hidden_size,
+    elementwise_affine=False,
+    eps=1e-6,
+)
+x = self.adaln(x, scale[:, None, :], shift[:, None, :])
+```
+
+`AdaLayerNormZero`, `AdaLayerNormZeroSingle`, and continuous variants include
+different projections, broadcasts, and tuple outputs; they are not drop-in
+replacements. A shared AdaLN may have an NPU fast path while using native ops on
+CUDA/HIP/XPU. Do not call it a universal fused AdaLN kernel.
+
+For sigma schedules with a small finite set of timesteps, profile whether
+precomputing the timestep/AdaLN projection once per request is worthwhile.
+Cache keys must include the exact schedule/config/device/dtype and stay bounded.
+
+### Layout, residual, and other candidates
+
+After profiling, inspect:
+
+- bias/dropout/add or gated residual chains;
+- norm + linear or norm + modulation boundaries;
+- repeated transpose/reshape/contiguous around attention;
+- VAE normalization/activation/convolution boundaries;
+- MoE routing and fused experts for models that actually use MoE.
+
+For fused residual-plus-norm or modulation chains, preserve the unfused
+materialization boundary. If the residual was stored in BF16 before RMSNorm,
+round to BF16 and promote again inside the fused kernel; using the unrounded
+FP32 temporary changes the denoising trajectory even when the stored residual
+looks correct.
+
+Keep DLO materialize/release hooks, process-group collectives, request cache
+transitions, and cleanup outside compiled/fused regions unless lifecycle safety
+is explicitly tested. Compile only stable regions and retain eager fallback.
+
+## Remove redundant computation
+
+### Hoist request invariants
+
+Audit the denoise loop for work that depends only on the request rather than
+the current timestep:
+
+```python
+# Before the denoise loop.
+condition = self.condition_proj(text_embeddings)
+refined_condition = self.token_refiner(condition, packed_metadata)
+rope_tables = self.build_rope_tables(position_ids)
+attn_metadata = self.build_attention_metadata(layout)
+
+for step, sigma in enumerate(sigmas):
+    timestep_state = self.prepare_timestep_state(sigma)
+    noise = self.transformer(
+        latents,
+        refined_condition,
+        rope_tables=rope_tables,
+        attn_metadata=attn_metadata,
+        timestep_state=timestep_state,
+    )
+    latents = self.scheduler_step(noise, sigma, latents)
+```
+
+Candidates include prompt conditioning, token-refiner output, reference
+encoding/scans, position IDs/RoPE tables, packed masks/metadata, static CFG
+branches, and finite-schedule AdaLN projections. First prove they are invariant
+for all official tasks, LoRA/adapters, prompt-update features, shapes, and
+schedules. In continuous batching, store request-specific results on request
+state rather than the pipeline singleton.
+
+### Eliminate per-layer synchronization
+
+Avoid device-to-host scalar extraction such as `.item()` inside every layer:
+
+```python
+# Bad: forces a GPU/CPU synchronization in every attention layer.
+max_len = int(cu_seqlens[-1].item())
+
+# Better: compute validated host metadata once during request packing and pass it.
+packed = PackedLayout(
+    cu_seqlens=cu_seqlens,
+    max_seqlen=max(sample_lengths),
+)
+for block in self.blocks:
+    hidden = block(hidden, packed_layout=packed)
+```
+
+Trace to verify the synchronization disappears. Do not replace a correct
+dynamic value with a stale constant merely to remove `.item()`.
+
+### Remove unused masks and allocations
+
+If packed attention consumes `cu_seqlens` and ignores a dense mask, do not
+construct the dense mask. Reuse immutable request metadata and preallocated
+buffers when safe. Prefer direct indexed scatter/gather over constructing large
+temporary tensors only when duplicate-index semantics and gradients (normally
+disabled for inference) remain correct.
+
+Any cross-request cache needs a bounded lifetime and a complete key containing
+shape, layout, device, dtype, schedule, task, adapter/LoRA, and any value that
+changes the tensor. Otherwise keep it request-scoped.
+
+### VAE and reference work
+
+Profile duplicate VAE decode/postprocess, repeated reference decoding/scans,
+unnecessary host-device round trips, and full-frame materialization. Apply VAE
+tiling, slicing, patch parallelism, or on-demand staging only with seam,
+ordering, color/range, and memory parity tests.
+
+## USP communication optimization
+
+“USP works” is not evidence that USP communication is optimized. For Ulysses,
+Ring, hybrid, and AllGather-KV separately, profile:
+
+- collective count, bytes, duration, stream, and overlap with compute;
+- Q/K/V and output all-to-all boundaries;
+- pack/unpack, padding, metadata broadcast, transpose, and contiguous copies;
+- head divisibility or advanced uneven-head support;
+- scaling efficiency from 1 to N devices on the same workload/interconnect;
+- load balance for unequal packed samples.
+
+Declare `_sp_plan` split/gather boundaries around meaningful module outputs,
+not arbitrary Python statements. Keep packed metadata sharded/gathered in the
+same ownership model as tokens.
+
+When the target revision offers accelerated Ulysses transport such as
+`--ulysses-a2a-permute`, qualify it separately from regular Ulysses. Prove the
+strict scatter-heads/gather-sequence layout selected the fast path, record
+one-time JIT/readiness cost, prewarm the maximum workspace shape before CUDA
+graph capture, keep the grow-only workspace on one stream, and exercise cleanup
+before process-group destruction. Compare collective and E2E deltas after the
+dense backend and topology are frozen; keep unsupported layouts on an explicit
+regular-Ulysses fallback.
+
+For GQA, validate `Q_heads % KV_heads == 0`, pad KV heads first, and derive Q
+padding from the original ratio. Exercise both contiguous and row-strided QKV
+layouts; a fast copy path must preserve bitwise values and packed boundaries.
+
+Cross-attention sometimes uses replicated text K/V while only video/audio Q is
+sequence-sharded. In that specific case, `skip_sequence_parallel=True` can
+avoid incorrect or wasteful Q/K/V redistribution:
+
+```python
+self.cross_attention = Attention(
+    num_heads=local_heads,
+    num_kv_heads=local_kv_heads,
+    head_size=head_dim,
+    softmax_scale=head_dim**-0.5,
+    causal=False,
+    role="cross",
+    skip_sequence_parallel=True,
+    prefix=f"{prefix}.cross_attn",
+)
+```
+
+Use it only after proving K/V are replicated and Q/output ownership is correct.
+Otherwise it disables needed communication. Report whether the optimization
+reduces collective bytes/time and improves E2E scaling.
+
+## Text encoder and VAE disaggregation
+
+Disaggregation is a measured architecture decision. First collect:
+
+| Question | Required measurement |
+|---|---|
+| Is the stage large enough? | Encode/decode share at target concurrency and shape |
+| Is transfer economical? | Tensor/media bytes, serialization, connector latency and bandwidth |
+| Is there reuse? | Prompt/reference reuse rate, cacheability, fan-out |
+| Can it scale independently? | Queue saturation and resource utilization per stage |
+| Is the contract stable? | Shape, dtype, mask/tag/position metadata, ordering |
+
+### Text encoder candidate
+
+Define an explicit tensor contract containing hidden states, masks, tags or
+position IDs, dtype, shape, task/checkpoint revision, and request ID. Support
+disabling the local encoder so the DiT cannot accidentally recompute it. Test
+all tasks, prompt lengths, partial TP group membership, retries, backpressure,
+abort, connector cleanup, and independent replica scaling.
+
+### VAE candidate
+
+Separate VAE encode and decode contracts if both exist. Define latent shape,
+scale/shift, dtype/range, tiling/chunk order, output media ordering, and stage
+metadata. Measure latent/media transfer against local decode cost. Test tiling
+seams, RNG/determinism where relevant, chunk ordering, codec/postprocess,
+backpressure, abort, and worker failure.
+
+Do not label VAE tiling, patch parallelism, compile, or offload as VAE
+disaggregation. Likewise, a separate text-encoder TP group is not a separate
+stage. If no reusable generic stage/connector exists in the target revision,
+produce a feasibility result or RFC and keep the capability `not tested` rather
+than inventing a model-local production architecture.
+
+## Performance acceptance
+
+For each accepted optimization, require:
+
+- same fixed workload and correctness artifacts before/after;
+- actual fast-path execution proven by logs/trace/counters;
+- local metric plus E2E latency/throughput and memory;
+- at least three raw fixed-work repetitions after explicit warmup, or a
+  declared arrival-load sample set large enough for every tail percentile;
+- named hardware, backend, topology, dtype, and task scope;
+- fallback/rejection tests for unsupported shapes/platforms;
+- no regression in abort/error cleanup or long-run memory trend.
+
+Update the feature matrix narrowly. Do not convert a profile-driven direction
+into a generic “supported” feature merely because a model-specific PR exists.

+## Execution-mode decision
+
+Request batching and step-wise execution solve different problems:
+
+| Mode | Pipeline contract | Scheduling/abort boundary |
+|---|---|---|
+| Serial request | `forward(DiffusionRequestBatch)` for one request | Whole request; in-denoise preemption is unavailable |
+| Request batching | `supports_request_batch = True`; one forward consumes compatible independent requests | Whole batch/request |
+| Single-request step | Full `SupportsStepExecution`; `max_num_seqs=1` | Between denoise steps |
+| Step continuous batching | Full step contract plus heterogeneous batched-step evidence | Between denoise waves/steps |
+
+Do not expose four stub methods as an opt-out. The current protocol is
+structural; if a native pipeline is not step-capable, do not define the four
+step methods. If it is capable, implement and test all four.
+
+Treat structural support, a generic request-batch bridge, and model benefit as
+three separate claims. Before recommending step execution, name a hypothesis
+that request mode cannot satisfy, define a success threshold, and run a matched
+request-mode control. If throughput or latency regresses, retain step execution
+as functional/limited and keep request mode as the production recommendation.
+
+Choose compatibility keys from every value that changes tensor shapes,
+semantics, hooks, or scheduler behavior: task, output shape/count, frames,
+steps/schedule, guidance/CFG, dtype/backend, LoRA/adapter, cache quality policy,
+and model-specific conditions. Reject or schedule separately rather than
+silently using the first request's settings.
+
+## Request-level batching
+
+A request-batched pipeline returns exactly one `DiffusionOutput` per logical
+request. This is model-owned pseudocode: `validate_batch_compatibility()` and
+`_generate_batch()` are placeholders to implement from the official contract,
+not shared APIs to import.
+
+```python
+import torch
+
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.data import DiffusionOutput
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.worker.request_batch import (
+    DiffusionRequestBatch,
+    split_diffusion_output_by_request,
+)
+
+class MyPipeline(torch.nn.Module):
+    supports_request_batch = True
+
+    def forward(self, req: DiffusionRequestBatch) -> list[DiffusionOutput]:
+        validate_batch_compatibility(req.sampling_params_list, req.prompts)
+        common = req.sampling_params_list[0]
+
+        text_prompts: list[str] | None = [
+            prompt
+            if isinstance(prompt, str)
+            else (prompt.get("prompt") or "")
+            for prompt in req.prompts
+        ]
+
+        prompt_fields = DiffusionRequestBatch.collate_prompt_field_map(
+            req.prompts,
+            {"prompt_embeds": None, "prompt_mask": None},
+        )
+        if prompt_fields["prompt_embeds"] is not None:
+            text_prompts = None
+        generators = req.collate_request_generators(
+            common.num_outputs_per_prompt,
+            default_generator=None,
+        )
+        output = self._generate_batch(
+            prompt=text_prompts,
+            prompt_fields=prompt_fields,
+            generators=generators,
+            sampling=common,
+        )
+        return split_diffusion_output_by_request(
+            DiffusionOutput(output=output),
+            req,
+            num_outputs_per_prompt=common.num_outputs_per_prompt,
+        )
+```
+
+The prompt-field collator only handles tensor fields; extract raw text prompts
+and model-specific negative/alias fields separately, as current in-tree batched
+pipelines do. Set a raw prompt field to `None` when the matching precomputed
+embedding is supplied. The exact aliases and generator device depend on the
+model. Use current collators rather than manual `torch.cat` when they cover the
+contract; they reject mixed present/missing tensors and incompatible
+shape/dtype/device.
+
+Before reading `sampling_params_list[0]`, validate every field that must be
+common. Tests must cover:
+
+- two and N requests, independent seeds/generators, one output each;
+- mixed prompt lengths and packed/padded boundaries;
+- multiple outputs per prompt and correct result slicing;
+- compatible versus incompatible shapes, steps, guidance, LoRA, and quality;
+- one request failure without cross-request output or state corruption;
+- output ordering and request IDs under different completion times.
+
+After the model advertises support, candidate serving is:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve '<model>' --omni \
+  --max-num-seqs 4 \
+  --request-batch-max-wait-ms 20
+```
+
+The wait window trades admission latency for batch formation. Benchmark at 0
+and candidate nonzero values under the target arrival process.
+
+## Step execution and continuous batching
+
+### Full protocol skeleton
+
+Use the current shared state types and make every mutable value request-local:
+
+The helpers beginning with `_` and `validate_step_batch()` below are
+model-owned placeholders; scheduler initialization is scheduler-specific.
+
+```python
+import copy
+from collections.abc import Sequence
+from typing import Any, ClassVar
+
+import torch
+
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.data import DiffusionOutput
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.models.interface import SupportsStepExecution
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.worker.input_batch import InputBatch
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.worker.utils import StepRequestState
+
+class MyPipeline(torch.nn.Module, SupportsStepExecution):
+    supports_step_execution: ClassVar[bool] = True
+
+    def prepare_encode(
+        self,
+        state: StepRequestState,
+        **kwargs: Any,
+    ) -> StepRequestState:
+        prepared = self._prepare_request(state.prompt, state.sampling)
+        state.prompt_embeds = prepared.prompt_embeds
+        state.latents = prepared.latents
+        state.timesteps = prepared.timesteps
+        state.scheduler = copy.deepcopy(self.scheduler)
+        state.scheduler.set_begin_index(0)
+        state.step_index = 0
+        state.extra["task_state"] = prepared.task_state
+        return state
+
+    def denoise_step(
+        self,
+        input_batch: InputBatch,
+        *,
+        states: Sequence[StepRequestState] | None = None,
+        **kwargs: Any,
+    ) -> torch.Tensor | None:
+        validate_step_batch(input_batch, states)
+        return self.transformer(**build_batched_denoise_inputs(input_batch))
+
+    def step_scheduler(
+        self,
+        state: StepRequestState,
+        noise_pred: torch.Tensor,
+        **kwargs: Any,
+    ) -> None:
+        timestep = state.current_timestep
+        if timestep is None:
+            raise RuntimeError("step_scheduler called without a current timestep")
+        state.latents = state.scheduler.step(
+            noise_pred,
+            timestep,
+            state.latents,
+            return_dict=False,
+        )[0].to(state.latents.dtype)
+        state.step_index += 1
+
+    def post_decode(
+        self,
+        state: StepRequestState,
+        **kwargs: Any,
+    ) -> DiffusionOutput:
+        return DiffusionOutput(output=self.decode(state.latents))
+```
+
+This is a shape guide, not drop-in code: verify the target revision's
+`StepRequestState.extra`, scheduler signature, CFG handling, state fields, and
+decode contract. Follow a current native pipeline such as Qwen-Image for the
+exact revision.
+
+Never use the shared `self.scheduler` to advance a request. Store scheduler,
+latents, embeddings, timesteps, masks, RNG/generator, task metadata, cache
+policy, adapter, and output assembly state on `StepRequestState` or its
+request-local extension. Pipeline fields may hold immutable weights/config and
+bounded immutable caches only.
+
+### Qualification sequence
+
+1. Compare request-mode and step-mode at `max_num_seqs=1` for every task using
+   identical seed/schedule/shape and intermediate latents.
+2. Abort queued and in-flight requests at several step boundaries.
+3. Increase to two compatible requests; verify independent scheduler/RNG/state
+   and output order.
+4. Increase to the target capacity and mix prompt lengths.
+5. Exercise mixed shape, frames, steps/schedule, task, guidance, and quality.
+   Batch only compatible rows; otherwise split/reject predictably.
+6. Inject a failure in encode, denoise, scheduler, and decode independently.
+7. Run the production soak and fault matrix.
+
+Candidate commands only after capability validation:
+
+```bash
+# Conservative step execution and step-boundary abort.
+vllm serve '<model>' --omni \
+  --step-execution \
+  --max-num-seqs 1
+
+# Experimental batched-step candidate after multi-request E2E.
+vllm serve '<model>' --omni \
+  --step-execution \
+  --max-num-seqs 4
+```
+
+If an attention backend is only correct for single-request step mode, fail
+early or keep the recipe at `max_num_seqs=1`. Do not describe generic runtime
+support as model support.
+
+## Abort and cleanup
+
+### Required semantics
+
+For queued and in-flight abort/disconnect:
+
+- emit exactly one terminal aborted/error result;
+- do not run `post_decode` after abort unless a documented partial-output mode
+  explicitly requires it;
+- do not increment `step_index` or apply a scheduler result after cancellation;
+- remove scheduler/state cache entries and request IDs;
+- release latents, prompt/reference tensors, cache hooks, DLO buffers, connector
+  messages, uploaded/temp files, and output buffers;
+- keep other requests alive;
+- make cleanup idempotent when disconnect, timeout, and worker error race;
+- drop late results/exceptions for already-resolved or cancelled futures
+  without terminating the shared result-pump thread;
+- complete the next valid request with its requested cache/offload policy.
+
+Test cancellation before engine admission, while queued, after encode, during
+early/middle/final denoise steps, before decode, and while returning/persisting
+output. Include async job cancellation and client socket disconnect.
+
+### Failure injection matrix
+
+| Location | Injection | Assertions |
+|---|---|---|
+| Validation/upload | bad MIME, count/bytes overflow, truncated media | 400/413, no job/engine submit, no temp leak |
+| Load/start | missing fused shard, unsupported topology | startup fails, actionable error, no silent init |
+| Encode | exception/OOM/timeout | one error, request state/temp released |
+| Denoise | exception/OOM/worker exit | peers handled, hooks/buffers released, health behavior explicit |
+| Scheduler | invalid state/shape | no latent/step partial commit |
+| Decode/post | exception/codec error | no corrupt successful result, partial output removed |
+| Result/IPC | late result after cancel, large split tensor, orphan SHM | pump remains alive, one terminal result, exact ownership cleanup |
+| Connector/disagg | timeout/retry/duplicate | idempotency, backpressure, no orphan payload |
+
+After each injection, check server health and issue a known-good request. If
+the process must restart, document and test the restart policy; do not claim
+transparent recovery.
+
+### Large-output transport
+
+Treat worker-to-engine IPC and engine-to-client transport as separate hops.
+For batched video, prove that each logical output does not accidentally retain
+or serialize the complete batch storage. Exercise the target revision's shared
+memory or artifact-handle path above and below its threshold, including
+non-contiguous views, multiple outputs, consumer failure, timeout, abort, and
+worker exit. Verify every shared segment/file is released exactly once.
+
+Freeze the media contract at each hop: dtype, value range, shape/layout,
+contiguity, request ownership, encoding/color model, payload bytes, and pending
+consumers. Device-side float-to-uint8 preparation, D2H/IPC, planar/interleaved
+conversion, CPU encode/mux, and delivery off the asyncio event loop are
+different optimizations. Validate their route selection and fallbacks
+independently. Byte-identical HTTP MP4 output does not prove that a raw offline
+tensor kept its dtype or range.
+
+For long-window output, validate segment ordering and audio/video continuity,
+then exercise payloads around serializer, shared-memory, HTTP, and codec size
+limits. Chunking must reassemble exactly, reject malformed/missing chunks, and
+release partial state after abort, timeout, or peer failure.
+
+Qualify chunk production, transport, and public streaming as separate layers.
+A VAE callback must define owned representation, frame offsets, final marker,
+rank ownership, source/config gate, and collective-safe failure, but it does not
+prove SHM/ZMQ delivery, bounded backpressure, cancellation, codec reuse, or
+client streaming. Measure time to first owned chunk, first encoded fragment,
+steady cadence, mux finalization, and complete client artifact independently.
+
+Measure remote MP4 encoding, serialization/copies, network transfer, and client
+materialization separately from denoise/decode. An inference-kernel speedup does
+not establish serving throughput if output transport dominates or leaks.
+
+## Mixed-RPS soak
+
+Use a realistic request mix and arrival distribution. Include small/large
+shapes, short/long prompts, all advertised tasks, cache tiers, and a small rate
+of abort/disconnect/error injections. Run phases below, near, and above measured
+saturation so queue/backpressure behavior is visible.
+
+Example serving benchmark phase:
+
+```bash
+python benchmarks/diffusion/diffusion_benchmark_serving.py \
+  --base-url http://127.0.0.1:8091 \
+  --endpoint /v1/videos \
+  --model '<model>' \
+  --dataset trace \
+  --dataset-path /path/to/versioned-production-trace.jsonl \
+  --task t2v \
+  --num-prompts 500 \
+  --request-rate 0.5 \
+  --max-concurrency 8 \
+  --warmup-requests 8 \
+  --warmup-concurrency 8 \
+  --output-file soak-near-saturation.json
+```
+
+Use a task-appropriate trace/media dataset. Run the same phase at rates selected
+from an initial saturation curve; a literal `0.5` is illustrative only.
+
+On supported GPU hosts, wrap a test or soak with the repository monitor:
+
+```bash
+bash tests/dfx/stability/scripts/resource_monitor.sh run --backend gpu -- \
+  pytest -s -v tests/dfx/stability/scripts/test_stability_<model>.py -m slow
+```
+
+Check the target revision's monitor backends. Do not claim CPU/NPU monitoring
+from a reserved CLI choice unless collection is implemented and verified.
+
+Report:
+
+- offered and achieved RPS, success/error/abort rates;
+- p50/p95/p99 and queue/service/stage times, with the successful sample count
+  and arrival process used for each percentile;
+- throughput per device and batch/wave utilization;
+- per-rank HBM and process-tree PSS trend/slope;
+- cache size/hit rate, temp-file/disk growth, open FDs/handles;
+- outstanding shared-memory/artifact handles and encoded/network bytes;
+- worker/engine health, restarts, OOM/timeouts, backpressure response;
+- total duration, request count/mix, raw logs/JSON/monitor artifact hashes.
+
+A short burst or repeated serial curl loop is not a stability test.
+
+## Four CI tracks
+
+Keep the tracks independent so a failure answers a specific question. These
+four readiness tracks are not the repository's numbered CI levels. Map them
+onto the current L1-L5 taxonomy:
+
+| Readiness track | Repository CI placement |
+|---|---|
+| Function | L1 unit/logic plus L2 basic online/offline E2E; extend real-model scenarios in L3/L4 |
+| Accuracy | L3 real-model gates for important cases; deeper and broader nightly coverage in L4 |
+| Performance | Important thresholds in L3 where they fit the time budget; full baselines/regression jobs in nightly L4 |
+| Reliability | Cheap rejection/recovery assertions can run earlier, but long stability, fault injection, and reliability suites belong to weekly L5 |
+
+Distributed topology is a test case within the appropriate level, not a
+replacement definition for a level.
+
+### 1. Function CI
+
+Cover:
+
+- strict unquantized and advertised quantized loading;
+- fused source-shard completeness and prefix routing;
+- official task positive boundaries and neighboring negative cases;
+- offline, sync, async normalization/parity;
+- single-device reference plus every advertised topology smoke;
+- output type/count/order and request ID isolation;
+- feature rejection paths that must fail early.
+
+### 2. Accuracy CI
+
+Pin official implementation/checkpoint/vLLM-Omni revisions, prompts and media
+hashes, seed, scheduler/sigma/steps, dimensions/frames/FPS, guidance, dtype,
+backend, and topology. Compare at suitable levels:
+
+- component outputs or selected blocks;
+- one or more intermediate denoise latents;
+- final image/video/audio artifact metrics;
+- temporal consistency and audio/video synchronization where relevant.
+
+Set tolerance per modality/hardware/backend with rationale. Keep failure
+artifacts and metadata. A single visual inspection does not define CI.
+
+For quantization trajectory tooling, inspect the target revision's current
+`vllm_omni/quantization/tools/compare_diffusion_trajectory_similarity.py` and
+reuse it when compatible instead of creating an ad hoc comparator.
+
+### 3. Performance CI
+
+Pin workload and best deployment. Include a resident recommended row and a
+small-HBM/DLO row when both are production targets. Declare:
+
+- one explicit warmup exclusion and at least three measured fixed-work
+  repetitions;
+- raw result JSON and environment identity;
+- median/mean plus range for small fixed-work A/Bs; p50/p95/p99 only for an
+  arrival-load run with enough samples, plus throughput/RPS, stage time,
+  HBM/PSS;
+- regression metric, threshold, baseline owner, and update procedure;
+- correctness/accuracy check linked to the same configuration.
+
+Use the current harness config style, for example:
+
+```bash
+pytest -s -v tests/dfx/perf/scripts/run_diffusion_benchmark.py \
+  --test-config-file tests/dfx/perf/tests/test_<model>_vllm_omni.json
+```
+
+Verify parser options on the target revision. Do not copy a JSON schema from a
+different model without matching its endpoint, task, dataset, and deploy path.
+
+### 4. Reliability CI
+
+Run a bounded CI soak plus a longer scheduled soak. Cover:
+
+- below/near/above-saturation arrival phases;
+- queued/in-flight abort and disconnect;
+- OOM/timeout and worker/process failure appropriate to the platform;
+- DLO/cache/connector cleanup;
+- health, fast-fail/backpressure, restart/recovery policy;
+- memory/temp/FD trend and successful known-good request after each fault.
+
+Keep reliability thresholds independent from latency thresholds. A fast server
+that leaks memory or hangs after cancellation fails production readiness.
+
+## PR evidence checklist
+
+The PR description must include or link:
+
+- official source/checkpoint revisions and API/limit matrix;
+- scoped feature compatibility matrix with the four allowed states;
+- implementation notes for FP8, DLO, request cache, attention/fusion, batching;
+- exact environment, deploy/serve, every task curl, benchmark and soak commands;
+- fixed accuracy inputs and artifacts;
+- raw before/after performance runs and memory traces;
+- output-contract manifests and stage accounting from device preparation
+  through the complete client artifact;
+- abort/disconnect/fault results and cleanup evidence;
+- Function/Accuracy/Performance/Reliability CI files and ownership;
+- limitations/TODOs that remain `not tested` rather than implied support.
+
+Separate the Day-0 milestone from production readiness. If the PR only closes
+some gates, title and description should say which scoped gates it closes.

+# vLLM-Omni Quantization
+
+Use this skill for quantization work in `vllm-omni`. Start from the local
+code and docs, then pick the smallest validated path for the model, method,
+hardware, and quality target.
+
+## First Checks
+
+Before changing code or recommending a command, identify:
+
+- Model and task: AR text, omni/TTS, text-to-image, text-to-video, or multi-stage diffusion.
+- Hardware backend: CUDA generation, Ascend NPU, Intel XPU, or another platform.
+- Quantization mode: online from BF16/FP16 weights, pre-quantized checkpoint, runtime KV/FA quantization, or per-component routing.
+- Scope: transformer/DiT, thinker language model, text encoder, VAE, audio/vision encoder, talker, or a specific stage.
+- Validation target: memory reduction, latency/throughput, output quality, or all three.
+
+Do not assume a method is supported just because the CLI accepts the string.
+Check `docs/user_guide/quantization/` and the closest implementation first.
+
+## Quick Decision

+
+## Current Runtime Shape
+
+The unified entrypoint is:
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.quantization import build_quant_config
+```
+
+It supports method strings, flat method dictionaries, per-component
+dictionaries, existing `QuantizationConfig` objects, and `None`. The factory
+delegates generic methods to upstream `vllm` and keeps vLLM-Omni overrides for
+diffusion or omni-specific routing:
+
+- `gguf`
+- `int8`
+- `mxfp8`
+- `mxfp4`
+- `mxfp4_dualscale`
+- `inc`, `auto-round`, `auto_round`
+- ModelOpt auto-detected configs: `modelopt`, `modelopt_fp4`, `modelopt_mixed`
+
+Use `ComponentQuantizationConfig` when only one stage or component should be
+quantized. Pre-quantized ModelOpt-style checkpoints should not spill into
+vision/audio encoders that have no corresponding scale tensors.
+
+## Ownership Boundary
+
+- Upstream `vllm` owns generic quantization configs, kernels, loader semantics,
+  hardware capability rules, and generic AR quantization methods.
+- `vllm-omni` owns unified config routing, diffusion-specific wrappers,
+  component scoping, GGUF or ModelOpt checkpoint adapters, model-specific
+  prefix mapping, docs, examples, and validation.
+
+If a new method needs missing generic kernels or loader behavior, fix upstream
+`vllm` first. In `vllm-omni`, add thin integration and model wiring.
+
+## Working Loop
+
+1. Read the local method doc under `docs/user_guide/quantization/`.
+2. Inspect the active factory and config class in `vllm_omni/quantization/`.
+3. Inspect the target model pipeline and transformer for stable prefixes and
+   whether every relevant vLLM linear layer receives `quant_config`.
+4. For pre-quantized checkpoints, inspect `transformer/config.json` and the
+   checkpoint tensor names before running full generation.
+5. Validate with the same prompt, seed, size, scheduler, steps, dtype, eager or
+   non-eager mode, and parallelism as the BF16 baseline.
+6. Report quality, latency, and memory separately. Do not call a method
+   supported until quality is checked.
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
+|---------|--------------|-----|
+| `--quantization` has no visible effect | Wrong scope or unsupported model path | Check component routing and method docs |
+| Some layers stay BF16 unexpectedly | `quant_config` was not threaded into all vLLM linear layers | Audit transformer constructors and prefixes |
+| Quality collapses but loading succeeds | Too many sensitive layers were quantized | Add model-specific `ignored_layers` and compare to BF16 |
+| ModelOpt checkpoint loads but output is corrupted | Prefixes, packed-module mapping, scale routing, or BF16 fallback is wrong | Use `references/modelopt-fp8.md` |
+| GGUF shape or tensor mismatch | Missing architecture-specific adapter | Add explicit adapter mapping; avoid generic fallback |
+| Online and offline MXFP4 disagree | Wrong `mxfp4` vs `mxfp4_dualscale` mode | Check `docs/user_guide/quantization/mxfp4.md` |
+| Quantized path is slower than BF16 | Kernel path, compile mode, dtype, or shape mismatch | Compare eager-to-eager and non-eager-to-non-eager |

+# Adding Quantization Support to a Model
+
+Use this checklist when extending quantization to a new architecture or stage.
+
+## Classify Ownership
+
+| Case | Owner |
+|------|-------|
+| New generic AR method, kernel, or loader semantics | upstream `vllm` first |
+| Existing upstream method needs diffusion wiring | `vllm-omni` model and config integration |
+| GGUF or ModelOpt tensor mapping for a diffusion architecture | `vllm-omni` adapter |
+| NPU MXFP or msModelSlim diffusion path | `vllm-omni` platform/method wrapper and docs |
+| Multi-stage omni checkpoint quantizes only the thinker LM | `vllm-omni` component scoping |
+
+Avoid building a private quantization stack in model code.
+
+## Model Wiring Checklist
+
+1. Find the closest supported model implementation.
+2. Confirm the model uses vLLM linear layers that accept `quant_config`.
+3. Add `quant_config` to the transformer constructor.
+4. Pass stable `prefix` values through every linear layer.
+5. Handle fused modules and packed mappings explicitly.
+6. Ensure `load_weights()` and any `WeightsMapper` remap `ignored_layers` or
+   `modules_to_not_convert`.
+7. Keep tokenizer, scheduler, VAE, text encoder, audio/vision encoders, and
+   talker BF16 unless method-specific docs validate them.
+8. Add or update a method doc under `docs/user_guide/quantization/`.
+
+## Checkpoint Adapter Checklist
+
+For pre-quantized checkpoints:
+
+- Inspect `transformer/config.json` first.
+- Check `quant_method`, `method`, `producer.name`, `quant_algo`, serialized
+  flags, `ignored_layers`, and any method-specific fields.
+- Verify tensor name mapping before generation.
+- Verify packed modules such as `to_qkv`, `add_kv_proj`, and `w13`.
+- Confirm scale tensor names and shapes.
+- Allow dequantization back to BF16 for intentionally skipped target layers.
+
+## Sensitive Layer Discovery
+
+Start conservative. Quantize the backbone first and keep output-side or routing
+layers BF16 until quality is proven.
+
+Frequently sensitive areas:
+
+- attention output projections such as `to_out`
+- FFN down projections such as `w2`
+- final projections such as `proj_out`, `final_layer`, and output heads
+- modulation, timestep, position, image, or text embedders
+- refiner blocks
+- MoE routers, experts selected by routing, and layernorm-adjacent modules
+- VAE, text/vision towers, audio encoders, and codec/talker stages
+
+Do not reuse one model family's ignore list blindly.
+
+## Tests and Evidence
+
+Minimum evidence for a PR:
+
+- loader/config test or smoke command
+- fixed-seed BF16 vs quantized output comparison
+- quality metrics and saved outputs for precision-changing work
+- memory and latency comparison under identical execution mode
+- failure behavior for unsupported models or missing checkpoint fields
+
+When the PR adds a method to a support table, include the exact model,
+hardware, command, quality threshold, and artifact path used for validation.

+# Diffusion Quantization Reference
+
+Use this file for DiT quantization, config routing, checkpoint adapters, and
+quality or loader debugging.
+
+## Supported Method Families
+
+The current local diffusion quantization families are:
+
+- CUDA/GPU online or checkpoint: `fp8`, `int8`, `gguf`, ModelOpt
+- Ascend NPU: `int8`, `mxfp8`, `mxfp4`, `mxfp4_dualscale`, msModelSlim paths
+- Intel XPU: AutoRound/INC and online MXFP8 paths where documented
+
+Always cross-check the method doc before claiming model support. The CLI
+accepting a method string is not enough.
+
+## Implementation Starting Points
+
+| Area | Files |
+|------|-------|
+| Unified factory | `vllm_omni/quantization/factory.py` |
+| Per-component routing | `vllm_omni/quantization/component_config.py` |
+| GGUF diffusion method | `vllm_omni/quantization/gguf_config.py` |
+| Int8 diffusion method | `vllm_omni/quantization/int8_config.py` |
+| MXFP8 diffusion method | `vllm_omni/quantization/mxfp8_config.py` |
+| MXFP4 and dual-scale method | `vllm_omni/quantization/mxfp4_config.py` |
+| AutoRound/INC omni extension | `vllm_omni/quantization/inc_config.py` |
+| ModelOpt checkpoint adapters | `vllm_omni/diffusion/model_loader/checkpoint_adapters/modelopt.py` |
+| FP8 scaled-mm runtime patches | `vllm_omni/patch.py` |
+| Similarity tool | `vllm_omni/quantization/tools/compare_diffusion_trajectory_similarity.py` |
+
+## Threading `quant_config`
+
+For a diffusion transformer:
+
+1. Accept `quant_config: QuantizationConfig | None` in the transformer.
+2. Pass `quant_config` and stable `prefix` values to every vLLM linear layer.
+3. Preserve packed-module mappings for fused QKV, FFN, or model-specific fused
+   projections.
+4. Call `apply_vllm_mapper()` on configs that need HF-to-vLLM name remapping.
+5. For component configs, keep prefixes specific enough to avoid quantizing VAE
+   or encoders by accident.
+
+Common skipped areas are `proj_out`, output projections, modulation layers,
+embedders, refiner blocks, MoE routers, and layernorm-adjacent paths.
+
+## Online vs Offline
+
+Online quantization:
+
+- starts from BF16/FP16 checkpoint weights
+- computes or stores quantized weights at load time
+- typically uses `--quantization <method>` or `quantization="<method>"`
+
+Offline or pre-quantized checkpoints:
+
+- include quantized weights and scales on disk
+- usually carry `quantization_config` in `transformer/config.json`
+- should auto-detect when the config is complete
+- may require model-specific adapter logic for tensor names and packed modules
+
+Do not mix online flags with incompatible offline checkpoint configs. If the
+active config and disk config differ, `resolve_quant_config_from_disk()` should
+raise or rebuild rather than silently loading corrupted weights.
+
+## GGUF Rules
+
+- Require `quantization_config.gguf_model`.
+- Use the normal base model for tokenizer, scheduler, text encoder, and VAE.
+- Add explicit architecture adapters for tensor-name mapping.
+- Use `named_parameters()` and `named_buffers()`, not `state_dict()`, to
+  discover loadable names.
+- Guard fused QKV/KV rewrites so tensors are not rewritten twice.
+- Flatten N-D activations around the GGUF matmul and restore shape.
+
+Unsupported architectures should fail clearly instead of falling back to a fake
+generic mapper.
+
+## MXFP Rules
+
+- `mxfp8` is W8A8 microscaling, currently centered on NPU and documented XPU
+  behavior.
+- `mxfp4` is online single-scale W4A4 on NPU.
+- `mxfp4_dualscale` is online/offline dual-scale W4A4 with BF16 fallback; the
+  offline path is the production path when calibrated `mul_scale` exists.
+- Offline dual-scale checkpoints must inject per-transformer `ignored_layers`
+  into config because cascade transformers can have different BF16 fallback
+  sets.
+
+Do not load an offline dual-scale checkpoint with the online single-scale path.
+
+## Common Failures
+
+| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
+|---------|--------------|-----|
+| `Unknown quantization method` | Factory override or upstream registration is missing | Add the right override or upstream method |
+| Missing scale tensors | Wrong scope, wrong adapter, or BF16 layer not allowed to dequantize | Check config scope and adapter scale routing |
+| Output rank collapses from 3-D to 2-D | FP8 scaled-mm kernel ignored output shape | Check the patch in `vllm_omni/patch.py` |
+| Quality degrades silently | Sensitive layers quantized | Add `ignored_layers`; compare to BF16 |
+| Only one cascade transformer works | Disk config differs per transformer but active config is reused | Rebuild from each transformer's config |
+| Quantized path slower than BF16 | Kernel, dtype, compile, or benchmark mode mismatch | Compare eager-to-eager and non-eager-to-non-eager |
+
+## Verification
+
+For a new or changed diffusion quantization path, run:
+
+1. Config and loader smoke test.
+2. One fixed-seed generation against BF16.
+3. Numeric comparison with the similarity tool or equivalent metrics.
+4. Serving test if the path is user-facing online.
+5. Memory and latency check under the same execution mode as the baseline.
+
+Keep output artifacts when precision changes are part of the PR.

+# General Quantization Methods
+
+Use this file for method selection and unified `vllm-omni` config syntax. For
+diffusion-specific wiring, see `diffusion.md`. For ModelOpt checkpoint export
+and loading details, see `modelopt-fp8.md`.
+
+## Unified Entry Point
+
+`vllm_omni.quantization.build_quant_config()` accepts:
+
+- `None` or `"none"` to disable quantization
+- a method string such as `"fp8"`, `"int8"`, `"mxfp8"`, `"awq"`, or `"auto-round"`
+- a flat dict with `"method"` or `"quant_method"`
+- a per-component dict such as `{"transformer": {"method": "fp8"}, "vae": None}`
+- an already-built `QuantizationConfig`
+
+Per-component dicts are routed by `ComponentQuantizationConfig` using
+longest-prefix matching. Prefix stability matters: if a model remaps HF names
+to vLLM names, apply the mapper to `ignored_layers` or component prefixes.
+
+## Local Overrides
+
+The local factory delegates most methods to upstream `vllm`, but has vLLM-Omni
+overrides for methods that need diffusion, NPU, XPU, or component behavior:
+
+| Method | Local Config | Main Use |
+|--------|--------------|----------|
+| `gguf` | `DiffusionGGUFConfig` | Pre-quantized diffusion transformer weights |
+| `int8` | `DiffusionInt8Config` | Online or serialized W8A8 diffusion transformers |
+| `mxfp8` | `DiffusionMXFP8Config` | W8A8 MXFP8 diffusion on NPU and online XPU path |
+| `mxfp4` | `DiffusionMXFP4Config` | Online W4A4 MXFP4 diffusion on NPU |
+| `mxfp4_dualscale` | `DiffusionMXFP4DualScaleMixedConfig` | Online/offline W4A4 dual-scale plus BF16 fallback on NPU |
+| `inc`, `auto-round`, `auto_round` | `OmniINCConfig` | AutoRound/INC checkpoint loading, including MXFP8 checkpoint metadata |
+| ModelOpt config dicts | upstream ModelOpt configs through auto-detect | FP8, NVFP4, or mixed ModelOpt checkpoints |
+
+Check `SUPPORTED_QUANTIZATION_METHODS` in `vllm_omni/quantization/factory.py`
+before adding a new method name.
+
+## AR and Generic Quantization
+
+For AR-backed models, upstream `vllm` methods usually apply:
+
+- `awq` and `gptq`: 4-bit or 8-bit weight quantization with calibration,
+  commonly used for text and AR stages.
+- `fp8`: FP8 weight path or KV-cache FP8 depending on flags and hardware.
+- `inc` or `auto-round`: pre-quantized checkpoints with Intel Neural
+  Compressor / AutoRound metadata.
+
+Use these for the AR language model stage only when the checkpoint and model
+guide support it. Omni and TTS models often keep audio, vision, talker, and
+codec stages in BF16.
+
+## Diffusion and Offline Methods
+
+For diffusion transformers, prefer the method-specific docs:
+
+- `docs/user_guide/quantization/fp8.md`
+- `docs/user_guide/quantization/int8.md`
+- `docs/user_guide/quantization/gguf.md`
+- `docs/user_guide/quantization/modelopt.md`
+- `docs/user_guide/quantization/mxfp8.md`
+- `docs/user_guide/quantization/mxfp4.md`
+- `docs/user_guide/quantization/autoround.md`
+- `docs/user_guide/quantization/msmodelslim.md`
+
+Pre-quantized checkpoints should normally auto-detect from config. Runtime
+flags such as `--force-cutlass-fp8`, `--linear-backend cutlass`, and
+`--moe-backend cutlass` select kernels; they do not quantize a BF16 checkpoint.
+
+## Validation
+
+Use fixed-seed A/B comparisons and record:
+
+- model path and quantized checkpoint path
+- method config and `ignored_layers`
+- prompt, size, frame count, steps, scheduler, dtype, and seed
+- eager/non-eager mode, compile flags, and parallelism
+- output metrics such as PSNR, MAE, cosine similarity, SSIM, LPIPS, plus visual artifacts
+- latency and peak memory, reported separately from quality
+
+The helper `vllm_omni.quantization.tools.compare_diffusion_trajectory_similarity`
+is the default lightweight image/video comparison tool for diffusion paths.

+# Quantization Compatibility by Modality
+
+Use this as a routing guide. The source of truth is the local method docs under
+`docs/user_guide/quantization/` and the current model implementation.
+
+## Summary
+
+- AR and omni language-model quantization mostly follows upstream `vllm`, with
+  vLLM-Omni scoping for multi-stage models.
+- Diffusion quantization is method-specific and model-specific. It usually
+  targets the diffusion transformer only.
+- Pre-quantized checkpoints should quantize only the component that has
+  quantized weights and scale tensors.
+
+## Model Type Matrix
+
+| Model Type | Typical Quantization Scope | Notes |
+|------------|----------------------------|-------|
+| AR text models | Language model | Upstream `vllm` methods usually apply |
+| Omni/TTS models | Thinker or AR language-model stage | Audio, vision, talker, and codec stages usually stay BF16 |
+| DiT image models | Diffusion transformer | Check FP8, Int8, GGUF, ModelOpt, AutoRound docs |
+| DiT video models | Diffusion transformer | HunyuanVideo FP8 and Wan2.2 MXFP paths are documented; validate other video paths |
+| Multi-stage diffusion | Selected stage only | Use per-component routing and per-stage validation |
+| Audio diffusion | Usually unsupported | Prefer dtype, offload, cache, or parallelism unless docs say otherwise |
+
+## Method Hints
+
+| Goal | Candidate |
+|------|-----------|
+| AR memory reduction | AWQ, GPTQ, AutoRound, ModelOpt where checkpoint supports it |
+| CUDA diffusion W8A8 | FP8 or Int8 |
+| Pre-quantized CUDA diffusion checkpoint | ModelOpt or GGUF |
+| Ascend NPU diffusion | Int8, MXFP8, MXFP4, MXFP4 DualScale, msModelSlim |
+| Intel XPU checkpoint | AutoRound/INC paths |
+| Conservative image quality | selective FP8/Int8 with `ignored_layers` |
+| Unsupported diffusion model | cache acceleration, CPU/layerwise offload, dtype, TP/SP/CFG parallelism |
+
+## Validation Rule
+
+Compatibility means more than successful loading. A method is compatible only
+after it has:
+
+- correct component scope
+- complete checkpoint/config metadata if offline
+- fixed-seed quality comparison against BF16
+- acceptable latency and memory behavior
+- docs or examples that state model, method, hardware, and caveats

+# ModelOpt FP8 Conversion and Loading
+
+Use this when exporting or loading ModelOpt FP8 checkpoints for diffusion
+transformers. This reference captures the practical conversion lessons from the
+2026-04-21 ModelOpt FP8 paste and aligns them with the current
+`vllm-omni` ModelOpt adapter.
+
+## Core Rule
+
+Treat ModelOpt FP8 as selective checkpoint quantization, not one-click
+whole-model FP8. Quantize the main transformer or DiT backbone, keep sensitive
+or peripheral modules BF16, serialize a complete ModelOpt checkpoint, and let
+vLLM-Omni auto-detect it from config.
+
+Do not pass `--quantization fp8` to force a ModelOpt checkpoint path. The
+checkpoint's `quantization_config` should select `modelopt`.
+
+## Conversion Strategy
+
+Prefer:
+
+- backbone attention Q/K/V and FFN expansion projections
+- conservative per-model ignore lists
+- MHA quantizers disabled until basic linear quantization is stable
+- full module-name prefixes in ignore/routing logic
+- BF16 fallback for output-side and routing-sensitive layers
+
+Avoid quantizing by default:
+
+- VAE
+- text, vision, or audio encoders
+- embedders and modulation layers
+- final heads and output projections
+- refiner modules
+- MoE routers and layernorm-sensitive blocks
+
+## Model-Specific Starting Points
+
+| Model Family | Quantize First | Keep BF16 First |
+|--------------|----------------|-----------------|
+| Z-Image | attention q/k/v, FFN w1/w3 | `to_out`, `w2`, `noise_refiner`, `context_refiner`, embedders, modulation, final/output |
+| Qwen-Image | transformer backbone linear layers | `proj_out`, `img_in`, `txt_in`, norms, modulation, position/time/embed layers |
+| FLUX2-dev / FLUX2-klein | backbone linear layers | `proj_out`, context/x embedders, `norm_out`, stream modulation, time embeddings |
+| HunyuanImage-3.0 | `model.model` backbone | VAE, vision tower, token/time/image embedders, final image head, LM head, routers, layernorm-sensitive blocks |
+
+These are starting points, not support claims. Validate with BF16 outputs.
+
+## Required Checkpoint Metadata
+
+`transformer/config.json` must include a complete `quantization_config`.
+At minimum it should identify ModelOpt and the algorithm:
+
+```json
+{
+  "quantization_config": {
+    "producer": {"name": "modelopt"},
+    "quant_method": "modelopt",
+    "quant_algo": "FP8"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Current vLLM-Omni auto-detects:
+
+- `FP8` and `FP8_PER_CHANNEL_PER_TOKEN` -> `modelopt`
+- `NVFP4` -> `modelopt_fp4`
+- `MIXED_PRECISION` -> `modelopt_mixed`
+
+Packed modules and scales must map correctly:
+
+- `to_qkv` from `to_q`, `to_k`, `to_v`
+- `add_kv_proj` from `add_q_proj`, `add_k_proj`, `add_v_proj`
+- `w13` from `w1`, `w3`
+- `.input_scale`, `.weight_scale`, `.weight_scale_2`, `.weight_scale_inv`
+
+For selective FP8, target layers that remain BF16 must be allowed to
+dequantize from FP8 weights using the matching `weight_scale`, or the adapter
+must skip the quantized scale tensors for that BF16 target.
+
+## Runtime Signals
+
+Healthy loading should show ModelOpt auto-detection and a ModelOpt linear
+kernel path. Useful signals include:
+
+- auto-detected quantization from config
+- selected ModelOpt FP8 linear method
+- CUTLASS or FlashInfer FP8 scaled-mm backend when enabled and supported
+- non-eager path compiling the transformer when expected
+
+If online serving fails while offline inference works, inspect warmup and
+serving initialization before changing checkpoint conversion.
+
+## Validation Order
+
+1. Check config completeness.
+2. Run an export checker such as `examples/quantization/check_modelopt_fp8_export.py`.
+3. Confirm actual FP8 tensors and expected disk-size reduction.
+4. Run one offline generation with fixed prompt, seed, size, and steps.
+5. Run serving with `vllm serve --omni` and verify `/v1/images/generations`.
+6. Compare against BF16 using visual review plus metrics such as LPIPS, PSNR,
+   MAE, cosine similarity, and SSIM.
+7. Compare performance only under matched modes:
+   - BF16 eager vs FP8 eager
+   - BF16 non-eager vs FP8 non-eager
+
+FP8 is not automatically faster. Check whether execution reaches FP8 kernels,
+whether compile mode is comparable, and whether the workload shape fits the
+kernel path.
+
+## Triage
+
+| Symptom | First Check |
+|---------|-------------|
+| Startup failure | `config.json`, `model_index.json`, `quantization_config`, missing scales |
+| Loads but output is corrupted | Over-quantized sensitive layers or wrong full-name prefixes |
+| Offline works but online fails | Dummy warmup, serving init, compile path |
+| FP8 is not faster | Kernel selection, dtype, compile mode, workload shape |
+| BF16 fallback fails | Missing `weight_scale` for dequantization or wrong packed-module mapping |
+
+The success criterion is stable, correctly scoped checkpoint loading with
+quality preserved enough for the target use case, not maximizing the number of
+FP8 layers.

+# Repository Skills for vLLM-Omni
+
+This directory contains repository-scale skills maintained for `vllm-omni`.
+They capture repeatable workflows for common contributor and maintainer tasks
+such as model integration, CI-aligned testing, performance optimization, and
+pull request review.
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+Each skill lives in its own directory under `.claude/skills/`. A skill may
+include:
+
+- `SKILL.md`: the main workflow and operating instructions
+- `references/`: focused reference material used by the skill
+- `scripts/`: small helper scripts used by the skill
+
+## Using the Skills
+
+Coding agents that discover repository skills can invoke the relevant skill by
+name. For other agents, point them to the skill's `SKILL.md` and ask them to
+read it before changing code. Combine a domain skill with `vllm-omni-test` when
+tests or CI coverage change, then use `precheck-pr` for the contributor's final
+self-check.
+
+## Available Skills
+
+- [`add-diffusion-model`](add-diffusion-model/SKILL.md): guides integration of
+  a new diffusion model into `vllm-omni`
+- [`add-recipe`](add-recipe/SKILL.md): creates or updates in-repository model
+  recipes with verified task/input/output contracts, concrete hardware,
+  shared feature-guide links, exact commands, and qualification evidence
+- [`add-tts-model`](add-tts-model/SKILL.md): covers integration of new TTS
+  models and related serving workflows
+- [`diffusion-perf-opt`](diffusion-perf-opt/SKILL.md): guides diffusion model
+  performance optimization, including profiling traces, parallel strategies,
+  stage timing analysis, and benchmark-driven tuning
+- [`find-simplifications`](find-simplifications/SKILL.md): finds evidence-backed
+  opportunities to remove or merge dead, duplicated, speculative,
+  over-generalized, or unnecessarily defensive vLLM-Omni code
+- [`precheck-pr`](precheck-pr/SKILL.md): self-checks a branch before creating a
+  PR by validating title format, dead code, simplification opportunities,
+  accuracy and performance claims, and merge readiness
+- [`production-add-diffusion-model`](production-add-diffusion-model/SKILL.md):
+  takes a working Day-0 diffusion integration through API/limit parity,
+  feature-combination evidence, quantization/offload, performance, production
+  serving, hardware recipes, and CI readiness
+- [`quantization`](quantization/SKILL.md): guides quantization method selection,
+  model integration, checkpoint loading, and quality/performance validation
+  for vLLM-Omni
+- [`review-pr`](review-pr/SKILL.md): provides a frozen-snapshot, contract-aware
+  workflow for maintainers and reviewers; contributors should use
+  `precheck-pr` for self-review
+- [`vllm-omni-npu-model-runner-upgrade`](vllm-omni-npu-upgrade/SKILL.md):
+  upgrades NPU model runners to align with the latest vllm-ascend
+  `NPUModelRunner`
+- [`vllm-omni-test`](vllm-omni-test/SKILL.md): guides generation and execution
+  of CI-aligned tests (L1–L4), pytest marker selection (`core_model` /
+  `advanced_model` / `full_model`, `omni` / `tts` / `diffusion`), Buildkite
+  wiring (`test-ready.yml`, `test-merge.yml`, `test-nightly.yml`,
+  `test-weekly.yml`), and copy-paste local plus CI-like `pytest` commands; see
+  `references/test-routing.md` for level-to-command mapping
+
+## Maintenance Guidelines
+
+- Keep skill names short and task-oriented.
+- Prefer repository-local paths, commands, and examples.
+- Avoid hardcoding fast-changing support matrices unless the skill is actively
+  maintained alongside those changes.
+- Treat skills as contributor tooling: optimize for clarity, actionability, and
+  low maintenance overhead.

+description: Review pull requests and local branches for vllm-project/vllm-omni with a frozen snapshot, module-design ownership, feature-design overlays, targeted validation, and concise evidence-backed findings. Use for default, detailed, or repeat maintainer reviews; checking correctness, compatibility, tests, benchmarks, model additions, distributed changes, or breaking behavior; and identifying or explicitly requesting the most relevant code-owner reviewers. Use precheck-pr instead for an author's pre-submit self-check.

+
+# Review vLLM-Omni Pull Requests
+
+Review like a maintainer: direct, selective, and focused on issues that CI does
+not prove. Prefer a few high-confidence findings over exhaustive commentary.
+Zero findings is a valid result.
+
+## Quality contract
+
+Make every finding:
+
+- **Correct:** prove a reachable failure, not a suspicion.
+- **Prioritized:** lead with merge blockers and high-impact defects.
+- **Actionable:** identify the smallest safe fix direction.
+- **Evidence-based:** cite code, tests, docs, CI, or measurements.
+- **Concise:** avoid review templates and repeated summaries.
+- **Calibrated:** match severity to user and maintainer impact.
+
+Do not report unrelated backlog, style already enforced by pre-commit, or a
+missing test that would not protect changed behavior. Do report new allowlist
+or budget entries in `check_forbidden_imports.py` / `check_torch_cuda.py` /
+`check_tts_adapter.py` / `check_buildkite.py` unless the PR justifies them:
+those are policy changes, not lint noise.
+
+## Select the input and depth
+
+Use `vllm-project/vllm-omni` as the base repository. Accept its forks and local
+checkouts; use another skill for unrelated repositories.
+
+| Input | Review surface |
+| --- | --- |
+| PR number or URL | Frozen PR metadata, full diff, and relevant threads. |
+| Local branch/worktree | Frozen target-base SHA through committed, staged, unstaged, and in-scope untracked changes. |
+| Pre-filled context | Reuse supplied metadata; fetch only missing facts and the full diff. |
+
+Default to maintainer brevity. A detailed or audit request expands coverage and
+lists `path:line` findings, but keeps the same confidence and severity bar.
+
+## Reference guide
+
+Load references in review order: process, one primary module contract, matching
+feature designs, evidence checks, then delivery. Every file is linked directly
+below; do not load unrelated module references.
+
+Each concise reference links to the maintained
+[vLLM-Omni documentation](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/).
+For branch-specific behavior, inspect the matching `docs/` file in the reviewed
+checkout first; use the published latest docs for current guidance and discovery.
+If docs and live code disagree, verify the code/tests and report the drift.

+
+## Workflow
+
+### 1. Freeze and report the snapshot
+
+Pin the base and head before reading source or running validation. Within 60 seconds,
+report the pinned head, CI, mergeability, and preliminary findings in the host
+conversation. Do not wait for CI or post this update to GitHub.
+
+If the target changes while fetching, discard the evidence and retry once. If
+it changes again, report the churn and wait for a stable target.
+
+For a trusted PR head, materialize the pinned head in an isolated detached
+worktree. A worktree freezes identity but is not a security sandbox. Treat fork
+heads as untrusted until the user and environment policy explicitly establish
+trust: execute their code only after that trust is recorded for this host,
+with the trusted SHA noted in the review state and secrets kept out of the
+execution scope; without recorded trust, use static SHA-addressed reads and CI
+evidence only. For a local review, freeze the committed, index, worktree,
+and NUL-safe in-scope untracked contents. Follow
+[review-execution.md](references/process/review-execution.md) for trust gates,
+state fingerprints, and byte-for-byte staleness checks.
+
+### 2. Build the diff census
+
+Group files into production code, tests, docs, configuration, build/CI, and
+generated artifacts. Map each changed production file and test group to the PR
+goal. Compare the title/body claims with the actual diff; use linked issues only
+when they define the contract or reproduction.
+
+Mark unrelated scope and unexplained generated artifacts. Do not infer behavior
+from the PR description without tracing the live code.
+
+### 3. Route from the live behavior
+
+Trace each claimed behavior through the changed producer to its live consumer,
+then use [design-contracts.md](references/process/design-contracts.md) and
+[review-routing.md](references/process/review-routing.md) to select one primary
+module contract, a second only for a real documented cross-boundary call path,
+and every matching feature-design and evidence overlay. Treat titles and paths
+as hints; live behavior and the frozen head's current design metadata are
+authoritative. For docs-, tests-, or CI-only changes, route to the production
+contract they protect or use only the applicable evidence checks.
+
+### 4. Run the blocker scan
+
+Apply every category in [general-checks.md](references/process/general-checks.md) before
+lower-priority comments.
+
+If the diff census contains an added, copied, or renamed Python path under
+`examples/`, read and apply the canonical
+[examples policy](../precheck-pr/references/examples-policy.md). Treat a new
+model-specific Python example as blocking. Do not flag model-specific example
+debt that the PR only modifies or removes, and do not run the rest of the
+author-oriented `precheck-pr` workflow.
+
+For each changed value or behavior, trace:
+
+```text
+public ingress -> validation/defaulting -> producer -> transformations
+  -> stage/worker/connector boundary -> final consumer -> terminal cleanup
+```
+
+Cover every applicable offline/online, streaming/non-streaming, sync/async,
+feature-on/off, topology, and compatibility path. Search bounded callers and
+sibling implementations rather than assuming the changed hunk is the only path.
+
+### 5. Apply module and feature contracts
+
+Apply the reference set selected in step 3 and any matching repo-local skill.
+Read the exact module and feature pages in the frozen head, including status,
+ownership boundary, dependencies, candidate invariants, safe-change guide, and
+promotion gate. Candidate or draft rules are questions, not blockers, unless
+current code, tests, or policy enforce them. Inspect both sides of any config,
+registry, serialization, connector, cache, or stage boundary.
+
+Read and apply [find-simplifications](../find-simplifications/SKILL.md) on every
+review. Constrain it to the diff and the adjacent ownership, callers, or
+consumers needed to prove a candidate. Check whether added or expanded helpers,
+classes, state, fallback and compatibility branches, data movement, or public
+behavior can be deleted, merged, moved, or inlined. Zero candidates is a valid
+result. Do not widen the review into repository backlog or report speculative
+style preferences as simplification findings.
+
+### 6. Verify the changed path
+
+Before each validation group, verify the frozen SHA plus the tracked, index,
+untracked, and ignored-file fingerprint, or recreate a pristine snapshot. On a
+head the user explicitly trusted for this host, run an import/version preflight,
+then the narrowest relevant tests and low-cost static checks. Bind every result
+to the head SHA, snapshot fingerprint, and environment fingerprint. Never run
+imports, tests, builds, hooks, or repo-configurable tooling from an untrusted
+head on the reviewer host.
+
+- Treat CI as status evidence; inspect only the first overlapping failure.
+- For docs-only changes, use diff hygiene, links/build checks, and bounded live
+  contract verification instead of dependency setup or pytest.
+- For hardware-dependent paths, run available static/CPU checks and name the
+  exact GPU/NPU gap. Never simulate device evidence.
+- For performance or accuracy claims, require comparable base/head runs with
+  the same environment, workload, warmup, repetitions, and quality criteria.
+
+Stop when each changed semantic path has a supported finding or an explicit
+no-issue conclusion. Do not search further only to increase confidence.
+
+### 7. Consolidate and deliver
+
+Verify each finding against the current diff, deduplicate by root cause, and
+order by severity.
+
+Re-read the remote head and reverify or recreate the pristine validation
+snapshot immediately before delivery. If either changed, mark the review stale
+and restart from the new snapshot.
+
+Return findings first. Use
+[maintainer-style-study.md](references/delivery/maintainer-style-study.md) to keep them
+direct and brief. Each finding must include an exact `path:line`, trigger or
+call path, current behavior, impact, and smallest fix direction. If there are
+no findings, say so briefly and name material validation gaps.
+
+Keep the review read-only unless the user explicitly authorizes posting. Do not
+submit `APPROVE`, `COMMENT`, or `REQUEST_CHANGES`, add labels, edit code, or push
+commits as an implied part of review.
+
+### 8. Optionally request focused owner reviews
+
+Only when the user asks to identify or request reviewers, read
+[review-requests.md](references/delivery/review-requests.md). Rank path-matched
+CODEOWNERS with the frozen module page's owners or required reviewers and
+documented governance expertise; propose one to three focused reviewers with an
+explicit contract rationale.
+
+Identifying or suggesting reviewers is read-only. Requesting reviewers or
+posting `@mention` comments changes external state and requires explicit user
+authorization. When authorized, recheck the head, deduplicate existing
+requests, and post at most one consolidated comment. Do not infer this
+permission from a request to review the code.

+# Model Addition Checklist
+
+Read this reference when a PR adds or expands a model architecture, pipeline,
+loader, processor, registry entry, pipeline config, or deploy config.
+
+Official docs: [model contribution guides](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/contributing/model/),
+[adding an omni model](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/contributing/model/adding_omni_model/),

+and [feature compatibility](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/user_guide/feature_compatibility/).
+
+## Match claims to the diff
+
+- Reconcile every claimed architecture, modality, variant, feature, and example
+  with changed files and registry entries.
+- Resolve config model types, architecture names, callable paths, exports, and
+  dependency extras against live symbols.
+- Check sibling generations sharing an architecture name are disambiguated by
+  a stable config predicate rather than import order or an accidental default.
+
+## Close the integration chain
+
+Trace:
+
+```text
+public model id -> config/pipeline selection -> registry -> loader/processor
+  -> stage inputs -> model execution -> stage/public output
+```
+
+Verify optional dependencies fail with an actionable message, weight names and
+dtypes map correctly, and each advertised serving mode reaches the production
+dispatcher. Confirm outputs are non-empty and valid for their modality, shape,
+sample rate, or response schema.
+
+## Keep support documentation truthful
+
+- Build an evidence-backed inventory of the new model's exact architecture and
+  checkpoint identifiers, modalities and tasks, hardware backends, serving
+  modes, and supported acceleration, parallelism, cache, offload, and
+  quantization features. Treat untested support as unknown, not supported.
+- Update `docs/models/supported_models.md` with the architecture, model family,
+  example checkpoints, and only the backends validated by the PR.
+- For a diffusion model, add it to the applicable ImageGen, VideoGen, or
+  AudioGen table in `docs/user_guide/diffusion_features.md`. Fill every feature
+  column according to its legend and document partial support or constraints.
+- Update `docs/user_guide/feature_compatibility.md` when the model changes valid
+  feature combinations, configuration constraints, examples, or limitations,
+  and update any other branch-local support table affected by the claims.
+- Cross-check every documented support mark against the registry, configuration,
+  production-path tests, and PR evidence; do not copy a sibling model's support
+  claims without validation.
+
+## Ship the model recipe
+
+- Require every new model PR to add or update one model-family recipe under
+  `recipes/<vendor>/` and its row in the `recipes/README.md` Available Recipes
+  table. Follow [`recipes/TEMPLATE.md`](../../../../../recipes/TEMPLATE.md) and
+  the layout rules in
+  [`recipes/README.md`](../../../../../recipes/README.md); the
+  external recipes repository is a structural reference, not a substitute.
+- Include only tested task, serving-mode, and hardware configurations. Keep the
+  exact model identifiers, flags, commands, verification, feature support,
+  constraints, and limitations consistent with code, tests, examples, and the
+  support documentation.
+- Cover each validated platform in its own hardware section. Use one recipe per
+  model family by default; justify a split when configurations cannot be kept
+  clear in one file, and do not add placeholder sections for untested platforms.
+
+## Compare the reference implementation
+
+Require every new model PR to include a head-versus-reference accuracy or
+quality and performance comparison:
+
+- Name the canonical implementation and pin its repository revision, package
+  version, configuration, and checkpoint. If it cannot run, explain why and use
+  the closest runnable reference; do not silently omit the comparison.
+- Match inputs or dataset, seed, output settings, precision or quantization,
+  hardware, software, warmup, repetitions, synchronization, and timing and
+  memory scope. Include exact commands and environment details for both sides.
+- Compare accuracy or output quality with a task-appropriate metric and explicit
+  tolerance. When no reliable metric exists, provide paired fixed-input outputs,
+  artifacts, and evaluation criteria, and explain expected numerical or
+  qualitative differences.
+- Report end-to-end latency, task-appropriate throughput, peak device memory,
+  run-to-run variability, and head/reference ratios at equivalent output quality.
+- Prefer a timing split for preprocessing or encoding, each model stage,
+  inter-stage transfer or communication, decoding or postprocessing, and output
+  assembly. Define the boundaries, account for overlap, reconcile the split with
+  end-to-end time, and explain any unavailable stage measurement.
+
+Use [perf-verification.md](perf-verification.md) for the comparison protocol and
+repository benchmark and profiling links.
+
+## Remove accidental surface
+
+Search bounded call sites for:
+
+- inference-dead training `forward()` paths, unused factories/wrappers, never-set
+  branch keys, and immediately discarded parameters;
+- duplicate payload strings, validation, or shape coercion across stages;
+- compatibility aliases in brand-new code without an existing caller;
+- private symbols re-exported as public API or module-level side effects.
+
+Keep code only when it has a distinct live caller, invariant, or compatibility
+contract. Prefer one typed producer-consumer schema to repeated string keys.
+
+## Require proportionate evidence
+
+- Run a representative production-path inference and assert output content, not
+  only process survival.
+- Require profiling or A/B tables when the PR makes performance, memory,
+  precision, or quality claims, or when a suspected hot-path/device bug needs
+  that evidence. Do not impose fixed utilization or regression thresholds that
+  the repository does not define.
+- Require focused registry/config/loading tests, a representative E2E path, and
+  user-facing model/usage documentation.
+
+Use [diffusion.md](../modules/diffusion.md) for diffusion models and
+[perf-verification.md](perf-verification.md) for quantitative claims.

+# Performance and Accuracy Verification
+
+Activate this reference when the PR adds a model or claims or intentionally
+changes latency, throughput, memory, scaling, precision, or output quality.
+
+Official docs: [profiling](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/contributing/profiling/),
+[serving benchmarks](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/cli/bench/serve/),
+and [metrics](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/contributing/metrics/).
+
+## Comparable A/B contract
+
+Compare frozen base and head for an existing path. For a new model absent from
+base, compare head with a pinned canonical reference implementation. Use the same:
+
+- hardware, driver, software versions, model/checkpoint, and dependencies;
+- input or dataset, seed, precision, batch/concurrency, topology, and feature
+  flags;
+- warmup, measured repetitions, synchronization, timing scope, and memory
+  collection method.
+
+Keep exact commands and report variability rather than a cherry-picked run.
+Use the repository's benchmark when it covers the claim; otherwise use the
+smallest reproducible workload that reaches the changed production path.
+
+## Isolation per claim
+
+Isolate one claim per comparison. When a PR stacks several changes (a fused or
+restructured load path, a distilled step schedule, a new cache), request one
+column per claim at equal steps/workload instead of one blended base-vs-head
+delta, and name the unchanged stage or metric that pins equivalence.
+
+When the changed path is runtime-switchable (feature flag or environment
+variable), run every column on the same head and toggle the switch rather than
+diffing against a base commit that cannot separate the stacked changes:
+base, head with the switch off, head with the switch on, then head with the
+switch on plus each further claim.
+
+## Evidence table
+
+| Dimension | Typical evidence |
+| --- | --- |
+| Latency | End-to-end latency and, when available, TTFT plus a defined per-stage and transfer-time split. |
+| Throughput/scaling | Requests, tokens, frames, or audio duration per second across the claimed concurrency/topology. |
+| Memory | Peak allocated/reserved device memory and OOM boundary if relevant. |
+| Quality/accuracy | Repository metric or known-good output comparison with an explicit tolerance; paired samples when no metric exists. |
+
+Every optimization needs correctness or quality evidence. A faster result on a
+different workload, precision, seed, or topology is not a valid comparison.
+
+## E2e stage-attribution table
+
+For an end-to-end latency claim, request the stage-attribution table the
+repository's perf PRs use:
+
+- Rows carry the benchmark's own field names: total e2e, per-stage execution,
+  postprocess, response encoding, and a request-to-output roll-up. Add a stage
+  handoff/idle row when the pipeline spans stages — connector transfer and
+  scheduling gaps are invisible in per-stage latency deltas.
+- Sanity rows pin comparability: inference steps, output frames/pixels/samples,
+  and generated tokens held identical across columns.
+- Report P50 and P100 from the stated warmup and measured counts. One
+  population per number: never mix cold-start and warm samples into one value.
+- Name the baseline and candidate commit SHAs, and close with an isolation
+  statement naming the metric that stayed unchanged ("X remained effectively
+  unchanged, isolating the gain to Y").
+
+When the serving path caches, captures, or regenerates at runtime (CUDA-graph
+bucket growth, cache rebuilds, recompilation), medians hide the resulting tail.
+Also request the event count and the maximum observed stall.
+
+Component-level tables pair with, not replace, the e2e table: per-op reference
+vs candidate timings (with the numerical-equality result per op) plus one
+complete-pipeline check under the production shapes.
+
+## Proportionality
+
+When a PR adds a model and explicitly labels its numbers as smoke observations
+rather than claims, do not demand the attribution machinery. Ask only for
+evidence protecting the model's stated operating contract — for a
+realtime/duplex model that is sustained cadence over a realistic session
+(enough ticks to leave warmup), with any mid-session capture/regeneration
+event and its stall reported, since a cadence that collapses mid-session is a
+functional failure, not a perf claim.
+
+## Realtime/duplex world models
+
+Request the operating-contract evidence as serving metrics, not claims:
+
+- Sustained per-tick latency over one realistic session: median, max, and the
+  argmax tick.
+- Stall events with their causes.
+- Peak memory at first versus last tick — session-owned state must not grow
+  per tick.
+- Control latency from a submitted action to the tick that applies it.
+- Realtime-versus-offline parity under the same controls, using the
+  repository's video-similarity helpers. Parity plotted over tick index is the
+  drift-over-horizon curve and the honest measure of session lifetime;
+  distribution-level suites (FVD, VBench) belong to model evaluation, not the
+  serving integration.
+
+Watch the contract boundaries the model documents: if a control input is
+tick-API-only, the parity pair must use a horizon both paths can run.
+
+## Speech-generation (TTS) models
+
+The streaming contract outranks the average — a synthesis that pauses
+mid-stream is broken for realtime use regardless of its averages. Request:
+
+- The benchmark's own speech metrics over one long utterance (enough audio to
+  leave warmup, tens of seconds): `audio_ttfp` (time to first packet),
+  `audio_rtf` (real-time factor; above 1.0 cannot keep up), `e2el`, and
+  `ttft`/`tpot` where tokens precede audio.
+- Mid-utterance stalls as the benchmark's continuity fields, not prose:
+  `audio_underrun` percentiles and the `audio_continuity_ok` rate
+  (`vllm_omni/benchmarks/metrics/metrics.py`), computed by
+  `vllm_omni/benchmarks/audio_continuity.py` — the companion to `audio_ttfp`
+  and `audio_rtf`. A synthesis that bursts chunks fast enough on average but
+  underruns mid-stream fails the streaming contract even when the averages
+  pass.
+- Quality as a paired comparison against the reference implementation under
+  the same text, speaker prompt, and seed; report sample rate and frame
+  count, and assert output completeness — truncated or dropped trailing audio
+  is a known failure class, not a quality nuance.
+- For realtime or duplex TTS: interruption (barge-in) latency and the
+  per-session memory trend across turns.
+
+## Omni models
+
+Apply the e2e stage-attribution table directly to the voice-to-voice path of
+omni (speech-to-speech and multimodal AR) models:
+
+- TTFT for text output, `audio_ttfp` for audio output, and per-stage
+  ITL/TPOT cadence across the perception-understanding-generation chain.
+- Cross-modal parity — the omni analogue of realtime-versus-offline parity:
+  the same semantic request through text and audio inputs, compared on output
+  content or timing.
+- For duplex omni sessions: turn-taking latency, interruption handling, the
+  concurrent session count actually validated, and a per-turn memory trend —
+  session-owned KV state must not grow per turn. When either turn produces
+  audio, continuity is judged with the same `audio_underrun` and
+  `audio_continuity_ok` fields as TTS, since turn-taking latency alone does
+  not expose mid-utterance underruns.
+
+## Reviewer verification ladder
+
+1. Run base/head A/B on suitable hardware when affordable.
+2. If only one side can run, verify the script and request a comparable pair.
+3. If hardware or assets are unavailable, audit methodology, code path, and
+   contributor evidence; name the exact unverified claim.
+
+Classify discrepancies before reporting: implementation regression, benchmark
+bug, environmental drift, noise, or unsupported claim. Explain material
+regressions against the PR's stated goal or repository contract; do not invent
+universal percentage thresholds.
+
+Report claimed and measured values together, bind them to the frozen SHAs and
+environment, and keep unavailable hardware as a validation gap rather than a

+# Test Quality Evaluation
+
+Read this reference when tests change, a risky production path has no test, or
+a test-only PR may not prove the intended behavior.
+
+Official docs: [test system overview](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/contributing/ci/test_system_overview/)
+and [test writing guide](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/contributing/ci/test_writing_guide/).
+
+## Static proof check
+
+For each changed semantic path, ask whether the test would fail if that behavior
+were reverted or broken. Check:
+
+- assertions pin the contract, not only non-null output, logs, or “no crash”;
+- the production dispatcher, registry, connector, or scheduler is reached
+  instead of the changed behavior being mocked away;
+- fakes preserve relevant types, MRO, shapes, devices, async behavior, and
+  lifecycle transitions;
+- seeds, ordering, timing, synchronization, external services, and numeric
+  tolerances are deterministic or explicitly controlled;
+- normal, invalid, boundary, feature-off, failure/cancellation, and regression
+  paths are covered where the diff changes them;
+- run-level and domain markers place hardware/model tests in the intended CI
+  lane without silently skipping the contract.
+
+Map source symbols to tests with bounded `rg` searches; do not assume the test
+tree mirrors production paths.
+
+## Runtime check
+
+Run the narrowest affected tests supported by the environment. Record skipped
+hardware/model cases as gaps. Classify failures as code, test, infrastructure,
+or flaky before turning them into findings; one passing rerun does not erase a
+flakiness signal.
+
+Keep grades or matrices internal. Report only concrete code bugs or the one or
+two test defects that leave changed behavior materially unprotected. Use
+[tests-docs-checklist.md](tests-docs-checklist.md) for CI and documentation
+coverage.

+# Tests and Documentation Checklist
+
+Use this reference to connect changed behavior to coverage, CI selection,
+examples, documentation, and reproducible PR evidence.
+
+Official docs: [test writing guide](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/contributing/ci/test_writing_guide/),
+[test execution guide](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/contributing/ci/test_execution_guide/),
+and [documentation guide](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/contributing/DOCS_GUIDE/).
+
+## Coverage packet
+
+For each high-risk change, record a compact internal packet:
+
+```text
+change and failure risk -> existing unit/E2E coverage -> uncovered boundary
+  -> smallest test and stable assertion that closes the gap
+```
+
+Prefer a regression test that fails on the frozen base for bug fixes. Check
+numeric tolerances, deterministic inputs, realistic mocks, hardware/domain
+markers, and Buildkite/CI wiring using the documentation present on the reviewed
+branch. A skipped test is not a pass.
+
+## Documentation sync
+
+Require user-facing updates when the diff changes a model, feature, CLI/API,
+config key, default, compatibility behavior, or supported platform. Verify:
+
+- the actual docs navigation and support tables used by the branch;
+- exact identifiers, defaults, constraints, known limitations, and migration;
+- a minimal runnable example for newly exposed behavior;
+- examples and docs agree on commands, parameters, output schema, and supported
+  modes;
+- links and the bounded live contract build or resolve correctly.
+
+Do not request docs for internal behavior with no user-visible contract.
+
+## PR evidence
+
+For contributor-run tests or benchmarks, require enough provenance to evaluate
+the claim: hardware, relevant software versions, exact commands, inputs/model,
+result, and approximate runtime. Performance or accuracy evidence must compare
+base and head under equivalent conditions; use
+[perf-verification.md](perf-verification.md).
+
+Turn a missing test or document into a finding only when it protects or explains
+changed behavior. Name the smallest useful addition rather than requesting a
+broad coverage expansion.

+# Active Verification
+
+Read this reference when a runnable affected path and suitable local or remote
+hardware are available. Never claim device evidence from static analysis or a
+simulated backend.
+
+Official docs: [installation](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/getting_started/installation/)
+and [test execution guide](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/contributing/ci/test_execution_guide/).
+
+## Choose the narrowest level
+
+| Available environment | Verification |
+| --- | --- |
+| Matching accelerator, model/assets, and server | Targeted unit/integration test plus one representative E2E request. |
+| Matching accelerator without serving setup | Targeted model/runtime test and output or metric inspection. |
+| CPU/static environment only | Import/version preflight, focused CPU tests, config/registry resolution, and static contract checks. |
+| Missing dependencies or inaccessible hardware | Record the exact gap and evaluate contributor/CI evidence. |
+
+## Execute safely
+
+1. Bind the run to the frozen head SHA and record Python, platform, dependency,
+   model, device, and relevant environment fingerprints.
+2. Run the smallest affected unit test before an E2E workload.
+3. Exercise the changed public or production-dispatch path with bounded inputs.
+4. Compare actual output, metrics, cleanup, and exit behavior with the PR claim.
+5. For base/head claims, use the equivalent A/B protocol in
+   [perf-verification.md](perf-verification.md).
+
+Avoid disturbing shared servers, ports, models, or accelerators without user
+authorization. Do not install large dependencies, download gated assets, or
+start remote workloads merely because hardware might exist.
+
+Report the command, environment, result, and any skipped path. Classify failures
+as change-induced, pre-existing, infrastructure, environment, or flaky before
+making a finding. A hardware gap lowers confidence; it is not automatic proof
+of a defect.

+# Maintainer Review Style
+
+Use this reference only when turning proved findings into comments. The baseline
+maintainer samples favor short, direct comments and reserve long explanations
+for architecture or non-obvious failure paths.
+
+Official docs: [contributing and review process](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/contributing/).
+
+## Evidence basis
+
+This calibration used 928 PRs merged from 2026-05-10 through 2026-08-08.
+Candidates were ranked by substantive human inline-review threads, then by
+distinct reviewers and review rounds. Author self-comments, bots and AI
+reviewers, and bodyless approvals were excluded. Counts selected the sample;
+the practices below came from reading root comments and follow-up replies.
+
+The main set contains the six leaders after filtering; three other high-ranked
+PRs add core-runtime and benchmark coverage. All were merged.
+
+| PR | Review boundary |
+| --- | --- |
+| [#2906](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/pull/2906) | New TTS model, shared utilities, recipes, and request state. |
+| [#3907](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/pull/3907) | Full-duplex API, session lifecycle, concurrency, and realtime evidence. |
+| [#2162](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/pull/2162) | Diffusion world model, OpenPI serving, tests, examples, and docs. |
+| [#3454](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/pull/3454) | Diffusion model, generic CLI surface, loaders, and configuration scope. |
+| [#4425](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/pull/4425) | Structured configuration, typing, defaults, and compatibility. |
+| [#5397](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/pull/5397) | Distributed offload, collectives, failure handling, and load semantics. |
+| [#4281](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/pull/4281) | Composable parallelism, configuration contracts, and examples. |
+| [#3628](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/pull/3628) | Stage metrics, benchmark definitions, opt-in API behavior, and cleanup. |
+| [#3855](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/pull/3855) | Stage runtime, thread safety, startup, and compatibility. |
+
+Historical comments calibrate delivery; they do not create merge policy. Live
+code, tests, repository docs, and the current `CODEOWNERS` file remain
+authoritative. When refreshing this study, promote a practice only when it
+recurs across at least three PRs or is supported by current repository guidance.
+
+## Recurring review behavior
+
+- Start from a changed contract, not a style preference. State the exact
+  request, configuration, topology, or failure path that triggers the issue.
+- Protect repository boundaries. Keep model-specific behavior in its domain,
+  move genuinely reusable logic to a shared module, and reuse existing loaders,
+  protocols, definitions, and config sources instead of bypassing them.
+- Challenge unrelated scope and abstractions. Ask why a new flag, config, class,
+  helper, fallback, or file is needed when an existing path appears sufficient.
+- Trace concurrency and terminal paths: overlapping requests, disconnect,
+  cancellation, partial failure, stale replies, collective schedule mismatch,
+  cleanup, and retry. Prefer an explicit startup error for unsupported
+  combinations over silently running with incomplete state or wrong weights.
+- Preserve user-visible behavior across variants. An accepted CLI/API/config
+  field must be applied, explicitly rejected, or visibly warned about; compare
+  normal and headless, offline and online, and streaming and non-streaming paths.
+- Ask for evidence at the affected boundary: a regression test using the real
+  tensor or protocol shape, correct pytest markers so CI runs it, comparable A/B
+  performance results, or an SLO-oriented latency/quality measurement.
+- Keep interfaces explicit: avoid `Any` and opaque strings where a precise
+  union, enum, or typed envelope exists; remove dead code and duplicated
+  constants; validate requests before expensive execution.
+- Document module scope and non-obvious invariants. Update examples, recipes,
+  supported-model/feature docs, and hardware assumptions when users rely on
+  them.
+- When expertise crosses an ownership boundary, ask a named owner to inspect a
+  specific file or contract and explain why. Do not send a generic `PTAL` list.
+- Keep non-blocking cleanup in a linked follow-up only after the current PR is
+  safe. If a revision fixes only part of a failure chain, continue the existing
+  thread with the remaining trigger instead of opening a duplicate finding.
+
+## Write the finding
+
+- Lead with the issue or decisive question; omit a review preamble.
+- Name the concrete trigger and impact, then the smallest fix direction.
+- Keep obvious fixes to one sentence. Use more detail only when the call path or
+  ownership boundary is otherwise unclear.
+- Prefer one root-cause comment over repeated symptom comments.
+- Hedge only when evidence is genuinely incomplete; mark that item as a
+  question or validation gap rather than overstating severity.
+- Say briefly that no findings were found when the review is clean; zero
+  comments is a valid outcome when posting is authorized.
+
+Useful forms:
+
+```text
+This leaves <state> allocated when <failure/cancellation path>. Release it in
+the shared terminal cleanup path.
+```
+
+```text
+Does this producer also update <consumer>? It still reads the old field here.
+```
+
+```text
+With <configuration>, this bypasses <existing loader/validator>, so <impact>.
+Reuse that path or reject this combination before startup.
+```
+
+```text
+@<owner>, could you check <specific boundary>? This changes <contract> used by
+<consumer>.
+```
+
+Use a priority label only for a proved high-impact defect. Avoid generic praise,
+routine “Nit:” prefixes, decorative severity labels, audit templates, rule IDs,
+comment-count narration, and “I left a few comments.” Keep approvals, review
+events, reviewer requests, mentions, and GitHub replies subject to the user's
+explicit authorization.

+# Focused Code-Owner Review Requests
+
+Read only when the user asks to identify, suggest, request, add, or ping
+reviewers. Finding candidates is read-only; GitHub review requests and
+`@mention` comments are external writes.
+
+Owner sources, in order:
+
+1. the reviewed head's
+   [CODEOWNERS](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/blob/main/.github/CODEOWNERS)
+   for path ownership;
+2. the active module design page's `owners` and `required_reviewers` metadata
+   for contract ownership and mandatory design review; and
+3. documented
+   [governance expertise](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/community/governance/)
+   for specialization and tie-breaking.
+
+Resolve all three from the reviewed head when available because ownership
+changes over time. Use published docs only to discover a page absent from an
+older checkout, never to override the frozen head, and do not copy a static
+owner list into review output. CODEOWNERS remains the path authority; module
+metadata identifies contract experts and required design reviewers.
+
+## Rank candidates
+
+1. Freeze the PR head and collect changed files, author, requested reviewers,
+   submitted reviews, and existing comments.
+2. Resolve the **last matching CODEOWNERS rule** for each changed file. Do not
+   union an earlier broad rule with a later specific rule.
+3. Resolve the primary module and feature overlays through
+   [design-contracts.md](../process/design-contracts.md). Read the active module
+   page's status, `owners`, and `required_reviewers`; do not treat owners on an
+   archived, superseded, or unrelated page as current authority.
+4. Group files by the selected primary owner and the exact module or feature
+   contract needing review. Weight production owners and live consumers above
+   tests/docs/CI owners and the repository-wide fallback. Include an applicable
+   `required_reviewers` entry even when it is not the path owner, and label why.
+5. Use documented governance specialties only to choose among matching owners:
+   for example serving versus configuration, diffusion model versus cache or
+   parallelism, TTS versus generic model execution, or CI versus tests.
+6. Exclude the PR author, bots, users who already completed the needed review,
+   and duplicate pending requests. Do not infer availability or invent
+   expertise from a username.
+7. Select one reviewer for a single-owner change and at most three for a real
+   cross-module change. If more are plausible, rank them but do not ping a
+   broad group; ask the user before exceeding three.
+
+If every specific owner is excluded, consider one repository-wide fallback
+owner and label that choice as a fallback rather than a path match. Never fan
+out to the full fallback list. Prefer a qualified owner who covers multiple
+critical path groups over separate reviewers for each file. If CODEOWNERS is
+missing or invalid, state that gap and use governance only as a labeled fallback.
+
+Recent file history may break a tie only when CODEOWNERS and governance remain
+ambiguous. Never use commit count alone to override an explicit current owner.
+
+## Preview before writing
+
+Show the user the exact candidate set and rationale:
+
+```text
+@owner — <owned paths or module role>; please verify <specific module or feature contract>.
+```
+
+Draft one consolidated comment tied to the frozen head:
+
+```text
+Requesting focused review for `<short-head-sha>`:
+
+- @owner1: could you check the <module contract> in `<path/group>`?
+- @owner2: could you check the <feature or cross-boundary contract> in `<path/group>`?
+
+Relevant validation: <one concise result or exact remaining gap>.
+```
+
+Mention only owners being requested. Keep the reason specific enough that each
+person knows what decision or invariant needs attention; do not post a generic
+“please review” or a generated ownership audit.
+
+## External-write gate
+
+- “Who should review?”, “suggest reviewers”, or “draft a request” authorizes
+  only the preview.
+- “Request/add these reviewers” authorizes the GitHub review-request mutation.
+- “Ping/comment/tag the owners” authorizes the consolidated comment.
+- When the user explicitly asks to request reviews **with an owner comment**,
+  both writes are authorized. Obey narrower wording when only one action is
+  requested.
+
+Immediately before an authorized write, verify the PR is still open, the head
+SHA is unchanged, and the candidate is not the author or already satisfied.
+Report draft/WIP state and avoid notifications unless the user explicitly wants
+reviewers requested before ready-for-review.
+
+Use the GitHub connector for reviewer requests and the single top-level comment;
+use `gh` only when connector coverage is unavailable. Do not submit an approval,
+request-changes event, label, assignment, or multiple comments as part of this
+action. After writing, reread the PR and report the reviewers requested and the
+comment URL. If the head changed, discard the draft and rerank before posting.

+  consumer without silent reinterpretation.
+- Treat stage count, placement, connector, parallelism, device, and memory
+  fields as one topology contract and reject impossible combinations early.
+- Preserve supported construction-path parity until a documented migration
+  removes a path.
+
+Require normalization and schema tests, a live-consumer assertion, and docs for
+public keys, defaults, constraints, precedence, or migration behavior.

+# Diffusion Module Family
+
+Primary design: [Diffusion Modules](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/design/module/diffusion/).
+
+Use for diffusion-stage behavior, then load the exact submodule page from the
+reviewed head:
+
+| Submodule | Signals | Design |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Runtime | Admission, scheduling, execution, progress, outputs, cancellation, hooks, cleanup | [Diffusion Runtime](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/design/module/diffusion/diffusion_runtime/) |
+| Model Integration | Pipelines, registry, loader, adapters, shared layers, model-specific processing | [Diffusion Model Integration](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/design/module/diffusion/diffusion_model_integration/) |
+| Continuous Batching | Compatibility, request/step batches, per-request progress, capacity | [Continuous Batching](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/design/module/diffusion/continuous_batching/) |
+| Parallelism | Rank topology, process groups, sharding, collectives, distributed execution | [Parallelism](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/design/module/diffusion/parallelism/) |
+| Offloader | Residency, transfers, memory accounting, prefetch, teardown | [Offloader](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/design/module/diffusion/offloader/) |
+
+## Family-wide checks
+
+- Keep one scheduler-owned lifecycle from admission through completion,
+  cancellation, failure, and cleanup; optional features must use defined hooks.
+- Select pipelines through registry and loader contracts instead of scattered
+  model-name conditionals; keep genuine model differences in model directories.
+- Trace latent, conditioning, timestep, generator, shape, layout, dtype, device,
+  batch expansion, and output conversion through the actual consumer.
+- Make batch compatibility and per-request isolation explicit; never associate
+  output by unstable batch position.
+- Derive topology from validated configuration, define every sharding boundary,
+  keep collectives symmetric, and preserve a supported single-rank path.
+- Track one residency owner per offloaded component, wait for transfer readiness,
+  preserve model state, bound retained copies, and clean up deterministically.
+
+Load matching feature designs for cache, quantization, parallelism, continuous
+batching, or offload. Require feature-off correctness, representative inference,
+terminal-path tests, and quality evidence for optimizations.

+# Engine Orchestration
+
+Primary design: [Engine Orchestration](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/design/module/engine_orchestration/).
+
+Use for request-state creation, cross-stage routing, output ordering, companion
+tracking, RPC correlation, cancellation propagation, and terminal convergence.
+Orchestration does not own replica placement, stage-process startup, public
+rendering, connector transport, or payload and error schemas.
+
+## Contract checks
+
+- Keep one owner for cross-stage routing; entrypoints, models, and stage clients
+  must not independently select the next logical stage.
+- Preserve request identity and output order across concurrent stages and
+  correlate every control or RPC result to the originating request and wave.
+- Make terminal state monotonic: no new forwarding after success, abort,
+  request failure, or fatal engine failure.
+- Propagate cancellation and failure to every active stage and release
+  orchestrator-owned tasks, queues, companions, and request state.
+- Preserve shutdown ordering across the orchestrator and stage runtime.
+
+Test representative multi-stage routing, ordering, correlation, cancellation,
+failure, and repeated shutdown.
