The premise — "when a worker dies the metadata monitor drops it from Router.servers, and nothing consulted that" — doesn't hold for the case this PR targets. Router._monitor_servers() (tensorrt_llm/serve/router.py:520) never lets the list reach empty: if check_servers_health() returns nothing for a role, _filter_servers_by_role() raises RuntimeError("No servers available") (and the assert final_servers right after it would fire too), the except block at router.py:565 logs and re-raises, and the monitor task dies. self._servers keeps its stale entry, so is_ready() still returns True — the exact scenario in the description. The partial case (2 ctx workers, 1 dies) does shrink the list but stays non-empty, which is correct-and-unchanged.
So as written this only fires if some other path empties a router list. That makes the empty-list signal the wrong hook: readiness needs to key off the health-check result (or the monitor's liveness) rather than off a list the monitor is explicitly coded never to empty. Two shapes worth considering: let the monitor write an empty list for a role and drop the assert/raise so this readiness check becomes its consumer, or track last-known-healthy per role and consult that. Either way a dead monitor task should itself make the coordinator not-ready — right now it fails silently in both directions.
Also worth calling out in the description: is_ready() is not only /health. openai_disagg_service.py:87 and :109 gate every /v1/completions and /v1/chat/completions call on it and raise RuntimeError("Cluster is not ready"), which surfaces as a 500, not a 503. If readiness starts flipping to False at runtime, that's the user-visible change, and 500 is the wrong code for it.
Keeping this in draft is the right call — the missing validation is precisely what would have caught the above. A disagg run with a worker killed mid-benchmark, checking whether /health actually flips, is the test that matters here.

Stamp on behalf of runtime-devs, delegating review to @NVIDIA/trt-llm-disagg-devs
…have died Without a cluster manager, `DisaggCoordinatorService.is_ready()` ended in an unconditional `return True`. That made `/health` a statement about startup having completed rather than about the workers: once startup finished, a ctx or gen worker could die and the coordinator kept answering 200 on its behalf. A client polling `/health` had no way to learn the group was unusable, so it waited out its entire timeout against a server that could never respond. The information was already being collected. When a metadata server is configured, `Router._monitor_servers()` (router.py:520) polls on an interval, `check_servers_health()` filters, and a dead worker is dropped from `Router.servers`. Nothing consulted it. Key readiness off the router server lists. An empty list is unambiguous: disaggregated serving needs at least one context AND one generation server, so zero of either cannot be served whatever the cause. Deliberately NOT sticky. A metadata-driven deployment adds and removes workers as a matter of course, so latching "dead" on the first removal would turn a routine topology change into a permanently unhealthy coordinator. This reports the current fact, and recovery shows up as recovery. No behaviour change for a static deployment: with no metadata server there is no monitor, the lists never shrink, and this stays `True` exactly as before. That is the reason for keying off the existing lists rather than introducing a new liveness source. The cluster-manager path is untouched and still delegates verbatim. Tests cover: ready with both roles present; not ready with no ctx, no gen, or neither; recovery when a replacement arrives; the cluster manager's verdict winning with its arguments forwarded unchanged; and the static shape being unchanged.

These five tests had no path to execution. l0_cpu reaches the file only through its `unittest/others` directory entry -- no GPU list carries that directory -- and tests/unittest/conftest.py's pytest_ignore_collect drops any file whose source lacks the literal "pytest.mark.cpu_only" when pytest runs with -m cpu_only, which is how the CPU-Generic stage invokes it. So the file was listed and collected nowhere. Add the marker. Nothing here needs a GPU: the tests drive is_ready() against stub routers.

The readiness predicate keyed off an empty server list, but the monitor could never produce one, so the case in the PR title was not detected. - router: _filter_servers_by_role() returned an empty list only in theory. It raised RuntimeError when no server of the role was live, and _monitor_servers() asserted final_servers besides; the except re-raised, so the monitor task died and self._servers kept its last known-good value. Readiness then reported a role with zero workers as healthy forever, and nothing was updated from that point on. The empty list is now published, which is what makes the predicate mean anything. - router: a poll error no longer ends the loop. A monitor that stops running freezes the server list, which readiness reads as healthy. Poll failures are logged and retried; _last_successful_poll is left alone so the gap becomes visible. - router: monitoring_is_stale() reports a monitor task that has ended or has not completed a poll within a bound, so a coordinator can fail closed instead of trusting a list nothing refreshes. Static server lists have no monitor and are never stale. - coordinator: generation-only benchmark runs (TRTLLM_DISAGG_BENCHMARK_GEN_ONLY=1) intentionally configure no context servers. Requiring one made /health permanently 503 for that mode. The env read is now a shared helper rather than duplicated inline. - coordinator: readiness reports not-ready when monitoring is stale, and returns True unchanged for static deployments, which have no monitor to consult. - comment trimmed to what the reader needs; the narrative belongs here. Tests are now in two layers. The stub-router tests can only confirm the predicate, which is why the assert/raise problem was invisible; a second class drives a real RoundRobinRouter through _monitor_servers() with a stubbed metadata server and asserts the empty-list state is reachable, the loop survives a failing poll, and a dead monitor reports stale. Signed-off-by: JunyiXu-nv <219237550+JunyiXu-nv@users.noreply.github.com>
Readiness keyed staleness off the last *successful* poll alone. If no poll ever succeeded, `_last_successful_poll` stayed None and `monitoring_is_stale()` returned False forever. That is reachable. `build_disagg_routers()` seeds each router with the static server list from the disagg config whether or not a metadata server is configured, and `_wait_for_all_servers_ready()` is satisfied by that list. So a coordinator whose metadata server is unreachable from startup onwards finishes starting up, polls, fails every time, and -- because a failed poll no longer ends the monitor -- keeps a live task that never updates anything. Readiness then reads a list nothing has ever refreshed and answers 200. Same fail-open this branch set out to close, entered from startup rather than from a worker dying later. Record the monitor's start time in `start_server_monitoring()` and use it as the staleness reference point until the first poll lands. A monitor that has never succeeded now ages into staleness like any other, while a merely slow first poll inside the bound still reports ready, so /health does not flap during startup.

Its return type is the load-bearing part of this branch -- it now returns an empty list where it used to raise -- so the signature should say so. Signed-off-by: JunyiXu-nv <219237550+JunyiXu-nv@users.noreply.github.com>

The monitor tests waited a fixed duration and then asserted that progress had happened. That is a timing guess, and it fails two different ways. `test_monitor_publishes_empty_list_when_role_dies` and `test_monitor_survives_a_failing_poll` assert positive progress -- a published list, a second poll -- inside `sleep(0.1)` / `sleep(0.15)`. A loaded CI worker that starves the event loop turns those into red builds for no reason. `test_monitoring_that_never_succeeds_ages_into_staleness` fails the other way: it asserts `_last_successful_poll is None`, which is equally true of a monitor that polled and failed and one that was never scheduled at all. It could go green without the code under test having run. Each stubbed operation now signals an `asyncio.Event` and the assertions wait on it with a bounded timeout, so they run when the monitor has actually reached the state under test. The empty-list case hooks `_on_servers_updated`, which runs under the monitor's lock after `self._servers` is reassigned, so the assertion reads a published list rather than racing the publish. The staleness case rewinds `_monitor_started_at` rather than waiting out a real bound, taking wall-clock out of the arithmetic entirely, and counts failed polls so the retry is proven rather than assumed. Also annotate the module-level helpers and stubs, and replace the `object()` default argument with a named module-level sentinel.

Hardware validation — retracting the "not run under pytest" caveatEarlier replies on this PR carried a caveat: I had no local build, so the tests were validated by extracting the shipped source of Built at
Two of these are the ones worth reading. #4 is the load-bearing one. With the fail-open fix reverted but the new tests kept, exactly one test fails — #6 answers the flakiness finding directly. The concern was that fixed #3 also settles a claim I made on the Still not doneThis validates the readiness logic and its tests. It is not an end-to-end disagg run with a worker killed mid-benchmark — that remains outstanding, and the PR description says so. If a reviewer considers it required before merge rather than nice-to-have, say so and I will set one up. Environment

The bug
Without a cluster manager,
DisaggCoordinatorService.is_ready()ended in an unconditionalreturn True.That made
/healtha statement about startup having completed, not about the workers. Once startup finished, a ctx or gen worker could die and the coordinator kept answering 200 OK on its behalf. A client polling/healthhad no way to learn the group was unusable, so it waited out its entire timeout against a server that could never respond.This is distinct from a crash during startup — that case is connection-refused and is handled elsewhere. This one is about everything after startup succeeds.
The information was already being collected
When a metadata server is configured, the routers already discover this and nothing consulted them:
Router._monitor_servers()polls on an intervalcheck_servers_health()filters to live serversRouter.serversThe fix
Key readiness off the router server lists. An empty list is unambiguous — disaggregated serving needs at least one context and one generation server, so zero of either cannot be served whatever the cause.
Two things in
Routerhad to change before that predicate could mean anything. Both were found in review, and both were cases where the coordinator failed open:The empty state had to be reachable.
_filter_servers_by_role()raisedRuntimeErroron an empty live list and the monitor'sexceptre-raised, so the task died withself._serversfrozen on its last known-good value. The role could never be observed as gone — the exact case in the PR title. It now returns[], and a failed poll is logged and retried instead of ending the loop.A monitor that has stopped keeping up must not be trusted. Once a failed poll no longer kills the task, "the list is fresh" stops being implied by "the task is alive".
monitoring_is_stale()reports a monitor that has ended, or that has not completed a poll within a few refresh intervals, and readiness fails closed on it. The reference point is the last successful poll, falling back to the monitor's start time — otherwise a monitor that has never succeeded (metadata unreachable from startup onwards, while the routers still hold the static list from the disagg config) would never age into staleness, and/healthwould promise readiness forever.Deliberate choices
Not sticky. A metadata-driven deployment adds and removes workers as a matter of course. Latching "dead" on the first removal would turn a routine topology change into a permanently unhealthy coordinator. This reports the current fact, so recovery shows up as recovery.
A slow first poll is not staleness. Only a poll that has not landed within the bound is. Reporting not-ready while startup is still converging would flap
/healthon every deployment — a worse failure than the one being fixed.Static deployments are unchanged. With no metadata server there is no monitor, the lists never shrink, and readiness stays
Trueexactly as before. That deployment shape still has no post-startup liveness signal; this PR does not claim to fix it.Generation-only benchmark mode is exempt from the context requirement.
TRTLLM_DISAGG_BENCHMARK_GEN_ONLY=1intentionally configures no context servers, so readiness requires a generation server always and a context server only when that mode is off.Cluster-manager path untouched. It still delegates to
is_ready_with_router()verbatim, with the router counts forwarded unchanged.Tests
tests/unittest/others/test_disagg_readiness_after_startup.py— no GPU, no server. Two layers, deliberately:TestReadinessPredicatedrivesis_ready()against stub routers: ready while both roles have servers; not ready with no ctx, no gen, or neither (the regression — all three returnedTruebefore); recovery when a replacement worker arrives; the cluster manager's verdict wins with its arguments forwarded unchanged; the static deployment shape unchanged across repeated calls; generation-only mode needs no context server; stale monitoring fails closed.TestMonitorDrivesReadinessdrives a realRoundRobinRouterthrough_monitor_servers()with a stubbed metadata server. This layer exists because the predicate layer cannot observe whether the monitor ever produces the states it assumes — which is why the original revision keyed readiness off an empty list that could not occur. It asserts the empty-role transition is actually published; that the loop survives a failing poll; that a dead monitor reports stale; that a static router never does; and that a monitor which never succeeds still ages into staleness.The file carries
pytest.mark.cpu_onlyand is collected byl0_cpu.ymlthrough itsunittest/othersdirectory entry.Validation status
Readiness logic and its tests: verified on hardware. Built from source at
c2f61a4on an H100node and ran the real suite — 15 passed; 15 again under
-m cpu_only; the existingtests/unittest/disaggregated/test_router.pystill 86 passed; and withrouter.pyreverted tobefore the fail-open fix, exactly the one intended test fails and the other 14 pass. Repeat runs are
clean both idle (12/12) and under ~2x CPU oversubscription on 48 cores (12/12). Details in
this comment.
Still outstanding: an end-to-end disagg deployment with a worker killed mid-benchmark. The unit
coverage above exercises the readiness predicate and the monitor that feeds it, not a real cluster.
Note on CI collection: the auto-generated summary below repeats that the test file has no
