[omni, model] feat: add OfflineEncodingMixin for offline-cache modules

What does this PR do?

Adds OfflineEncodingMixin, the module-side capability for running an expensive, deterministic encoder (e.g. a VAE / ViT) once offline and training from the cached tensors afterwards. Opt-in by multiple inheritance; a module that never mixes it in is unaffected.

Part of the SeedOmni mixin split (#1065), on top of the runtime / trainer that landed in #1235.

Test

Added a new test under tests/seed_omni/mixins/, which both unit workflows already run (pytest tests/seed_omni is recursive in gpu_unit_tests.yml and npu_unit_tests.yml).

tests/seed_omni/mixins/test_offline_encoding_mixin.py (16 tests):

cache_mode comes from the constructor, defaults to full; unknown modes and cached modes without support_cache are rejected.
cache_mode is visible inside the native model body and is not written to config.json (while support_cache is).
Both endpoint gates (offline_encode in process_only, online_process in encode_only).
MRO contract: a sibling *OfflineMixin wins over the abstract stubs, and listing TrainingModuleMixin before this mixin fails at class creation.
The decorated pre_forward / post_forward slots carry the conversation payload.

Also checked by hand against a real PreTrainedModel: _from_config(cfg, cache_mode=...) reaches the mixin and config.to_dict() has no cache_mode.

API and Usage Example

class XxxOfflineMixin:
    def offline_encode(self, pixel_values): ...    # -> {"encoded_cache": ...}
    def online_process(self, encoded_cache): ...   # -> {"latents": ...}

class XxxAccelerated(XxxOfflineMixin, OfflineEncodingMixin, TrainingModuleMixin, BaseMixin, XxxModel):
    ...

# config.json: {"support_cache": true, ...}
model = XxxAccelerated(config, cache_mode="encode_only")   # or "process_only" / "full" (default)
model.cache_mode   # "encode_only"; the native body can skip sub-networks this mode never uses

Design & Code Changes

support_cache vs cache_mode. config.support_cache says the checkpoint can run from a cache and is saved with it. cache_mode (full / encode_only / process_only) is a per-run choice, so it is a constructor kwarg kept on the instance and never stored on the config. __init__ sets it before the native body runs, so the body can branch on it (a VAE in encode_only never allocates its decoder). train_type keeps its meaning as the training-graph selector and is not involved.
Abstract offline_encode / online_process tensor endpoints, supplied by a sibling *OfflineMixin placed before this mixin so the concrete call-sites win MRO lookup.
pre_forward gate rejects an endpoint the current cache_mode cannot serve. TrainingModuleMixin.pre_forward does not chain to super(), so __init_subclass__ rejects any class that lists it before this mixin rather than silently skipping the gate.
No checkpoint hooks. Checkpoint I/O stays with OmniModuleCheckpointManager; fully frozen cached modules already skip it, and partially trainable ones will be handled there when such a module lands.
Docs: docs/key_features/omni_offline_encoding.md describes the three cache modes, support_cache vs cache_mode, the endpoint / hook contract and the base order, and is linked from the Key Features index.

Deliberately not here:

Wiring cache_mode from the launcher YAML into module construction — build_foundation_model takes no model kwargs today, so every runtime-built module is full until the train-and-cache PR adds that path (together with the cache shard writer and the reduced-mode state-dict handling).
Any concrete module (e.g. a VAE *OfflineMixin) — those arrive with their models.

Checklist Before Submitting

Read the Contribute Guide
Applied pre-commit checks
Added/updated documentation
If tasks/ training scripts were moved or renamed: updated docs/ examples and verified python3 scripts/ci/check_doc_task_paths.py passes (also enforced by the Check doc task paths CI workflow)
Tests: extended an existing CI-enumerated test, or added a new test and wired it into gpu_unit_tests.yml (and npu_unit_tests.yml where applicable), or explained in Test why none is needed. Note that CI enumerates test files individually — a new file outside tests/data/ and tests/ops/ does not run until it is listed. See .agents/knowledge/testing.md.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added offline-cache workflows for compatible models, with full, encode-only, and process-only modes. The selected mode controls whether encoding and processing endpoints are available, and non-default modes require a model configuration that supports caching.
Documentation
- Added guidance on offline encoding modes, configuration requirements, endpoint behavior, and inheritance expectations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds OfflineEncodingMixin with cache-mode validation, initialization ordering, abstract offline endpoints, and method-specific dispatch guards. It exports the mixin from the SeedOmni packages and adds tests and documentation for its configuration, hooks, and MRO behavior.

Changes

SeedOmni offline encoding

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Cache-mode configuration `veomni/models/seed_omni/mixins/offline_encoding_mixin.py`, `tests/seed_omni/mixins/test_offline_encoding_mixin.py`	The mixin accepts `full`, `encode_only`, and `process_only`. It validates cache support and sets `cache_mode` before superclass initialization. Tests cover defaults, invalid modes, cache requirements, and constructor behavior.
Offline method guards and hooks `veomni/models/seed_omni/mixins/offline_encoding_mixin.py`, `tests/seed_omni/mixins/test_offline_encoding_mixin.py`	The mixin declares `offline_encode` and `online_process` as abstract methods and checks their allowed modes in `pre_forward`. Tests cover MRO behavior, hook binding, and dispatch.
Public exports and documentation `veomni/models/seed_omni/__init__.py`, `veomni/models/seed_omni/mixins/__init__.py`, `veomni/models/seed_omni/mixins/base_mixin.py`, `docs/index.md`, `docs/key_features/omni_offline_encoding.md`	The SeedOmni packages export `OfflineEncodingMixin`. The layout documentation and new feature page describe its cache modes, endpoint contracts, dispatch behavior, and current runtime scope.

Test runtime metadata instead of source text.

inspect.getsource() only checks substrings. The abstract-method test can pass when @abstractmethod applies to an unrelated method. The hook test can pass or fail because of a comment or docstring.

The pre_forward and post_forward decorators store their contexts in _omni_pre_context and _omni_post_context, which are the markers read by BaseMixin. Assert those markers directly, and remove the unused inspect import.

Module-side offline-cache capability, opt-in by multiple inheritance: - `cache_mode` derived from the launcher/runtime pair `support_cache` + `train_type` (`full` / `encode_only` / `process_only`), with `patch_config` applying both onto the live config before the native model body runs, so a module can skip building sub-networks it will never use (e.g. a VAE in `encode_only` never allocates its decoder). - Abstract `offline_encode` / `online_process` tensor endpoints; a module supplies the concrete pair from a sibling `*OfflineMixin` placed before this mixin in its bases so the real call-sites win MRO lookup. - `pre_forward` gate that rejects an endpoint whose `cache_mode` cannot serve it, checked once per method instead of on every micro-batch. - Default no-op partial-DCP hooks plus a `save_full_hf_checkpoint` hook that a non-`full` module must implement, since the frozen-source merge policy is module-owned. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

…rain_type derivation cache_mode is a per-run choice and stays on the module instance; only support_cache, a checkpoint property, lives on the config. train_type is the training-graph selector and no longer maps to cache modes.

…gMixin Checkpoint I/O belongs to OmniModuleCheckpointManager; fully frozen cached modules already skip it, and partially trainable ones will be handled there.

TrainingModuleMixin.pre_forward does not chain to super(), so a module listing it first silently skipped the cache-mode gate; reject that order at class creation. Check cache_mode on every call instead of caching the result, validate the mode before the model body runs, and replace source-text assertions in the tests with behavioral ones.

Merge szl.omniv2-1065-offline-encoding-mixin-v1 at 90ba56e, the head of #1211. The branch sits on main after #1235, so this also brings in #1204, #1221 and #1169 from main. omniv2 already contains #1235 through its unsquashed 1064 branch (083161d), whose tree matches the squash for every SeedOmni file. The merge was therefore resolved against 083161d instead of the true merge base: only the changes in 083161d..90ba56e are applied. Merging from the old base would have re-added code that omniv2 deleted after the 1064 merge (e.g. ConversationItem.source) without a conflict. Conflict resolution: - mixins/offline_encoding_mixin.py: take #1211. cache_mode becomes a constructor kwarg kept on the instance; derive_cache_mode, patch_config, RUNTIME_CONFIG_KEYS and the partial-checkpoint hooks are gone. omniv2's callers are ported in the next commit. - seed_omni/__init__.py, mixins/__init__.py: keep omniv2, which also exports MetricMeterMixin; the OfflineEncodingMixin export is the same on both sides.

Adopt the OfflineEncodingMixin API merged from #1211 across omniv2. `cache_mode` used to be derived from `config.train_type`, which collided with the launcher's graph-selecting `model.train_type` and was stripped from `model_config`, so every module silently ran in `full`. - `OmniTrainingArguments.module_cache_mode` maps the workflow (`train.train_type`) to a cache mode for `support_cache` modules: offline_cache -> encode_only, train_with_cache -> process_only. - `ModuleRuntime.cache_mode` is the single source; `_build_model` hands it to the constructor via the new `build_foundation_model(model_kwargs=)`. - The data side reads the same value: `OmniProcessor.from_config( cache_modes=)` and `bind_module_assets` forward it to the module preprocessor; the trainer no longer injects `train_type` into `model_config`. - Bagel VAE: reorder bases so the cache-mode gate runs, read `self.cache_mode` in the model, take `cache_mode` in the preprocessor and apply `model_config` overrides via `config.update` so an undeclared `support_cache` override is not dropped. - Drop the offline checkpoint overrides: fully frozen modules have no checkpoint manager, so they were never reached. `ModuleRuntime` now rejects a trainable module in a reduced mode, and a `support_cache` module whose class silently ignored the `cache_mode` kwarg. - Update docs and tests.

Brings in the Ulysses-inside-CP mesh order (#1257), the squashed OfflineEncodingMixin PR (#1211, same content as the branch head merged earlier) and the per-module metric meter with the omni MFU roll-up (#1212). Resolved toward main's design: - Metric meter: take main's MetricMeterMixin (`metric_meter_add(method)`), OmniEnvironMeter, compute_device_memory_metrics and OmniStepMetricsCallback. Drop omniv2's OmniEnvironMeterCallback and the OmniTrainer/OmniModelRuntime/ModuleRuntime `collect_step_metrics` chain in favour of `OmniModelRuntime.metric_meter_collect`. Keep one omniv2 need: the callback skips `training/lr` when `offline_cache` builds no lr scheduler. - Docs: drop `docs/key_features/omni_offline_encoding.md` (main moved it to `docs/seed_omni/mixins/offline_encoding.md`; the merge base predates it, so git kept the stale copy) and port omniv2's cache_mode wiring, current scope and tests into the new page. Re-point line anchors main's docs carry to omniv2's line numbers, and update seed_omni.md, constraints.md and the seedomni-v2 skill to the new meter API.
