+"""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.

-Test pipeline mode (e.g. test-merge.yml):

+| **Medium** (*normal priority* in L4 docs) | **L3** online + offline · **L4** feature only | Fewer L4 parametrized rows |

+| **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
 
-Cache-DiT accelerates inference by caching intermediate computation results across denoising steps. After your model is working correctly on a single GPU, add cache-dit support.
+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.
 
-See [references/cache-dit-patterns.md](references/cache-dit-patterns.md) for detailed code patterns.
-
-#### 9a. Determine your model type
-
-| Model Type | Description | Action |
-|------------|-------------|--------|
-| **Standard single-transformer** | One transformer with one `ModuleList` of blocks | No code needed — `CacheDiTBackend` auto-detects via `enable_cache_for_dit()` |
-| **Multi-block-list** | One transformer with multiple block lists (e.g., `transformer_blocks` + `single_transformer_blocks`) | Write custom enabler with `BlockAdapter` |
-| **Dual-transformer** | Two transformers (e.g., high-noise + low-noise) | Write custom enabler with `BlockAdapter` wrapping both |
-
-#### 9b. Standard models — verify automatic support
-
-For standard single-transformer models, test directly:
-
-```python
-omni = Omni(
-    model="your-model-name",
-    cache_backend="cache_dit",
-    cache_config={
-        "Fn_compute_blocks": 1,
-        "Bn_compute_blocks": 0,
-        "max_warmup_steps": 4,
-    }
-)
-```
-
-Check logs for "Cache-dit enabled successfully on xxx". If it works, skip to Step 9e.
-
-#### 9c. Custom architectures — write a custom enabler
-
-For multi-block-list or dual-transformer models, write a custom enabler function:
-
-```python
-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
-```
-
-#### 9d. Register the custom enabler
-
-Add your enabler to `CUSTOM_DIT_ENABLERS` in `vllm_omni/diffusion/cache/cache_dit_backend.py`:
-
-```python
-CUSTOM_DIT_ENABLERS = {
-    "Wan22Pipeline": enable_cache_for_wan22,
-    "LongCatImagePipeline": enable_cache_for_longcat_image,
-    "YourModelPipeline": enable_cache_for_your_model,  # Add here
-}
-```
-
-#### 9e. Test Cache-DiT
-
-```python
-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))
-```
-
-**Verify**: 1) logs show cache enabled, 2) 1.5-2x speedup, 3) output quality acceptable vs baseline.
-
-If quality degrades, lower `residual_diff_threshold` (try 0.12-0.18) or increase `max_warmup_steps` (try 6-8).
+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

-)
-
-# Attention: QKV → RowParallel output
-self.to_qkv = QKVParallelLinear(dim, head_dim, num_heads, num_kv_heads)
-self.to_out = RowParallelLinear(dim, dim, input_is_parallel=True)
-
-# FFN: ColumnParallel → RowParallel
-self.w1 = ColumnParallelLinear(dim, ffn_dim)
-self.w2 = RowParallelLinear(ffn_dim, dim, input_is_parallel=True)
-```
-
-**Constraints**: `num_heads % tp_size == 0` and `num_kv_heads % tp_size == 0`.
-

 #### 10b. Sequence Parallelism (SP / USP)
 
-Splits sequence tokens across GPUs. Non-intrusive via `_sp_plan` on the transformer class — no changes to `forward()`.
-
-**What to change in the transformer**:
-
-Add `_sp_plan` class attribute:
-
-```python
-from vllm_omni.diffusion.distributed.sp_plan import (
-    SequenceParallelInput, SequenceParallelOutput,
-)
-
-class YourTransformer(nn.Module):
-    _sp_plan = {
-        "blocks.0": {
-            "hidden_states": SequenceParallelInput(split_dim=1, expected_dims=3),
-        },
-        "proj_out": SequenceParallelOutput(gather_dim=1, expected_dims=3),
-    }
-```
-
-If inline tensor ops (e.g., `torch.cat`) exist between shard/gather points, extract them into `nn.Module` submodules so hooks can intercept them.
-
-For RoPE that needs splitting, add an entry for the RoPE module with `split_output=True`.
-
-**Test**: `--ulysses-degree 2` (offline) or `--usp 2` (online serving)
+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
 
-Distributes positive/negative CFG branches across 2 GPUs. Requires the pipeline to inherit `CFGParallelMixin`.
-
-**What to change in the pipeline**:
-
-```python
-from vllm_omni.diffusion.distributed.cfg_parallel import CFGParallelMixin
-
-class YourPipeline(nn.Module, CFGParallelMixin):
-    def diffuse(self, ...) -> torch.Tensor:
-        for i, t in enumerate(timesteps):
-            positive_kwargs = {...}
-            negative_kwargs = {...} if do_true_cfg else None
-            noise_pred = self.predict_noise_maybe_with_cfg(
-                do_true_cfg=do_true_cfg, true_cfg_scale=cfg_scale,
-                positive_kwargs=positive_kwargs, negative_kwargs=negative_kwargs,
-            )
-            latents = self.scheduler_step_maybe_with_cfg(
-                noise_pred, t, latents, do_true_cfg
-            )
-        return latents
-```
-
-Override `predict_noise()` if your transformer call is non-standard. Override `combine_cfg_noise()` for multi-output models (e.g., video + audio).
-
-**Constraint**: Exactly 2 GPUs. Only for models using classifier-free guidance.
-
-**Test**: `--cfg-parallel-size 2`
+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)
 
-Shards transformer weights via PyTorch FSDP2 to reduce per-GPU VRAM. No code changes to the forward pass — just add a class attribute.
-
-**What to change in the transformer**:
-
-```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]
-```
-
-**Constraint**: Cannot combine with TP. For standalone HSDP, set `hsdp_shard_size` explicitly.
-
-**Test**: `--use-hsdp` or `DiffusionParallelConfig(use_hsdp=True)`
+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.

+# 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.

+
+## 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.

 ### Steps
 
-1. **Register in `serving_speech.py`** — add all 5 points in a **single commit**;
-   partial integration causes hard-to-debug failures. This file is modified by every
-   model PR and is the most common source of rebase conflicts — see conflict note below.
+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.
 
-   **Point 1** — stage constant (near the top, alongside the other `_*_TTS_MODEL_STAGES` sets):
+   Create `vllm_omni/entrypoints/openai/tts_adapters/your_model.py`:
    ```python
-   _YOUR_MODEL_TTS_MODEL_STAGES = {"your_stage_key"}
+   @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,
+           )
    ```
 
-   **Point 2** — union into `_TTS_MODEL_STAGES`:
-   ```python
-   _TTS_MODEL_STAGES: set[str] = (
-       ...
-       | _YOUR_MODEL_TTS_MODEL_STAGES
-   )
-   ```
+   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.
 
-   **Point 3** — model type detection in `_detect_tts_model_type()`:
-   ```python
-   if model_stage in _YOUR_MODEL_TTS_MODEL_STAGES:
-       return "your_model"
-   ```
+   > **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).
 
-   **Point 4** — validation dispatch in `_validate_tts_request()`:
-   ```python
-   if self._tts_model_type == "your_model":
-       return self._validate_your_model_request(request)
-   ```
+   **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`).
 
-   **Point 5** — validation + parameter-builder methods:
-   ```python
-   def _validate_your_model_request(self, request) -> str | None:
-       if not request.input or not request.input.strip():
-           return "Input text cannot be empty"
-       return None
+   **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).
 
-   def _build_your_model_params(self, request) -> dict:
-       params = {"text": [request.input]}
-       if request.voice is not None:
-           params["voice"] = [request.voice]
-       return params
-   ```
-   Wire `_build_your_model_params` into `_create_tts_request()` alongside the other
-   model-specific param builders.

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.

+|----------|---------------------|-----------------|
+| **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`):**

+| **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.

+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.

+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.

+
+### 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).

+# 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`.

+# 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,

+
+    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.

+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

+        if timestep is None:
+            raise RuntimeError("step_scheduler called without a current timestep")
+        state.latents = state.scheduler.step(

+            timestep,
+            state.latents,
+            return_dict=False,

+        state.step_index += 1
+
+    def post_decode(

+        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.

+
+# 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.

+
+## 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
+fabricated pass.

+# 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.

+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.

+Use this reference to connect changed behavior to coverage, CI selection,
+examples, documentation, and reproducible PR evidence.

+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.

+

+| Matching accelerator, model/assets, and server | Targeted unit/integration test plus one representative E2E request. |

+| 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.

+
+## 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.

+| [#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.
