+# Dynamo SLURM Smoke Test
+
+This example runs a single-node smoke test with Dynamo serving inference and
+prime-rl training against that Dynamo endpoint.
+
+It is intended to mirror the local/Kubernetes Dynamo smoke flow in
+`tools/dynamo/` and `k8s/dynamo-deploy/`, but under one SLURM allocation:
+
+- GPU 0: Dynamo frontend + vLLM worker, using `--discovery-backend file`
+- GPU 1: prime-rl orchestrator + trainer
+
+`--discovery-backend file` keeps the smoke test self-contained on one node and
+does not require etcd or NATS.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- prime-rl is cloned on a filesystem visible to the SLURM compute node.
+- The prime-rl virtualenv exists at `<prime-rl>/.venv`.
+- Dynamo with vLLM support is installed either in the same virtualenv or in a
+  separate virtualenv pointed to by `DYNAMO_VENV`.
+- The SLURM node has at least two GPUs.
+
+If Dynamo is installed separately:
+
+```bash
+export DYNAMO_VENV=/shared/dynamo/.venv
+```
+
+## Dry Run
+
+Render the resolved config and sbatch script without submitting:
+
+```bash
+uv run rl @ tools/dynamo/slurm_smoke/smoke_rl.toml \
+  --slurm.project-dir /shared/prime-rl \
+  --slurm.partition <partition> \
+  --dry-run
+```
+
+The generated script is written to:
+
+```text
+outputs/dynamo-slurm-smoke/rl.sbatch
+```
+
+## Submit
+
+```bash
+uv run rl @ tools/dynamo/slurm_smoke/smoke_rl.toml \
+  --slurm.project-dir /shared/prime-rl \
+  --slurm.partition <partition>
+```
+
+Useful overrides:
+
+```bash
+export DYNAMO_MODEL=PrimeIntellect/Qwen3-0.6B-Reverse-Text-SFT
+export DYNAMO_SERVED_MODEL_NAME=$DYNAMO_MODEL
+export DYNAMO_GPU=0
+export PRIME_RL_GPU=1
+export DYN_HTTP_PORT=8000
+export DYNAMO_MAX_MODEL_LEN=2048
+export DYNAMO_MAX_NUM_SEQS=32
+```
+
+Additional Dynamo worker flags can be passed with `DYNAMO_EXTRA_ARGS`.
+
+## Logs
+
+After submission, logs are under the run output directory:
+
+```text
+outputs/dynamo-slurm-smoke/job_<jobid>.log
+outputs/dynamo-slurm-smoke/logs/dynamo/frontend.log
+outputs/dynamo-slurm-smoke/logs/dynamo/vllm.log
+outputs/dynamo-slurm-smoke/logs/orchestrator.log
+outputs/dynamo-slurm-smoke/logs/trainer.log
+```
+
+The prime-rl config disables `use_token_client` and points both inference and
+admin traffic at the Dynamo frontend:
+
+```toml
+[orchestrator.client]
+base_url = ["http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1"]
+admin_base_url = ["http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/rl"]
+```
