Description

Refactor the advanced-sampling CUDA graph capture logic. Replace the use of capture-time flag _force_non_greedy_for_capture to force non-greedy graph capture with dummy requests containing synthetic non-greedy SamplingParams.

Additional context for the refactor: Previously, the advanced-sampling capture pass set _force_non_greedy_for_capture on the live SpecMetadata. create_cuda_graph_metadata() shallow-copied that flag into every cached graph entry, and teardown only cleared the base object. At replay, every request was rewritten to synthetic capture params (temperature=0.7, top_k=50, top_p=0.9). This bug was fixed in #17033 but suggests a need for elimination of mutating flags that can cause silent serving bugs.

Test Coverage

  1. Removed tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/test_capture_override_leak.py that tested capture logic via _force_non_greedy_for_capture .
  2. Added unit tests in tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_capture_sampling_params.py
  3. Added 3 accuracy tests to cover Easgle3/SA/MTP spec dec. These tests compare output tokens between inference passes with and without CUDA graph

Dev Engineer Review

  • Replaced capture-time _force_non_greedy_for_capture state with synthetic NON_GREEDY_CAPTURE_SAMPLING_PARAMS.
  • Propagated capture sampling parameters through dummy-request APIs.
  • Preserved beam width, beam-search mode, n, and best_of settings.
  • Updated all cache-manager overrides and added forwarding regression tests.
  • Removed obsolete capture-state cleanup and flag-based tests.
  • Added unit coverage for parameter propagation, greedy defaults, classification, and state isolation.
  • Updated H100 and B200 test lists with the relevant accuracy tests.
  • Verdict: needs follow-up. The L0 MergeRequest_PR pipeline failed. Investigate the reported failures and run CI again.

QA Engineer Review

  • Added _assert_non_greedy_cuda_graph_matches_eager.
  • Added Eagle3, suffix-automaton, and MTP CUDA Graph versus eager accuracy tests.
  • Added CPU unit tests in test_capture_sampling_params.py.
  • Added cache-manager forwarding tests for RocketKV and Mamba managers.
  • Modified the speculative overlap test to remove flag-specific setup.
  • Removed test_capture_override_leak.py and its test functions.
  • Listed the Eagle3 and suffix-automaton tests in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_h100.yml.
  • Listed the MTP test in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_b200.yml.
  • The unit and cache-manager tests are not listed in test-db/ or qa/.
  • Verdict: needs follow-up. CBTS coverage data is unavailable, and the failed L0 pipeline requires investigation.

Walkthrough

CUDA graph warmup now uses synthetic non-greedy sampling parameters in dummy requests. Sampling classification no longer depends on capture-only metadata. Unit and integration tests validate parameter propagation, state isolation, and CUDA graph/eager output parity.

Tests cover parameter propagation, greedy classification, state isolation, and CUDA graph/eager parity for Eagle3, suffix automaton, and MTP decoding. The obsolete capture-override test is removed from test lists and duration data.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3193e

The PR refactors CUDA graph capture to use synthetic sampling requests and adds coverage. It is generally mergeable, with owner awareness needed to verify CPU-only test compatibility and add the required RocketKV return annotation.

Re-reviewed at b272e56. The previous blocker is resolved: RocketKVCacheManager, CppMambaHybridCacheManager, and MambaHybridCacheManagerV2 now accept and forward capture_sampling_params, with focused regression coverage. The capture-only metadata flag has been removed and advanced capture is driven by request-local sampling parameters. No further blocking code findings from me.
