Note

Replaces #5910, which was auto-closed when its review-time base (a copy-pr-bot mirror ref) was deleted after #5903 merged. Same branch, rebased onto main past #5903; prior review history lives in #5910.

  • I, the PR author, have personally reviewed every line of this PR.

What does this PR do?

Adds --use-varlen-dataset / --varlen-sbhd-validation / --varlen-mock-dataset-config-json, their validation (auto-selecting the dp_balanced scheduler), the dataset-provider wiring in pretrain_gpt.py, and the remaining dataloader/unpack unit tests.

Part 10/10 of splitting #3386 (Add E2E support for THD format; dev-branch PR #2924). Original changes by @xiaoyao0115 in #3386 — split into functionally self-contained PRs to ease review. Hard dependencies (must merge first): #6628, #6629.

Branches are stacked linearly (each on the previous) so every PR shows a clean own-diff once its base is retargeted to the copy-pr-bot pull-request/<parent> ref; until then the Files-changed view of a stacked PR includes its ancestors — its own change is the last commit.
Stacked on #6629.
