fix: unwrap llm_config decoder configurations in FPM onboarding - #656
Nemotron 3.5 Super VL (NemotronH_Omni_Reasoning_V3, registered in #562) nests its decoder config under llm_config. FPM onboarding read only text_config, so it missed the Mamba state of this model:
reports the mamba_num_heads and ssm_state_size markers
The "After" column is the same result that the flat NemotronHForCausalLM config gives on main.
One helper, decoder_config_key in python/aisimulate/src/aisimulate_core/decoder_config.py, now picks the key that holds the decoder config. The key that MULTIMODAL_TEXT_CONFIG_KEY registers for the wrapper's first architecture comes first. Then comes text_config whenever it is present, as today. Then comes llm_config, only as a nonempty object. Three readers use the helper, so they read the same decoder:
the FPM collector (collector/fpm_forward/model_capability.py: effective_payload and the ModelOpt sidecar check)
FPM config intake (src/aisimulate/support/config_profile.py: load_model_config). Its notes and errors keep their exact text_config text and name llm_config for an llm_config decoder.
the SDK's FPM profile architecture check (src/aisimulate_core/sdk/fpm_profile.py). Without this, a profile whose architecture intake reads from llm_config fails FPM profile architecture mismatch at prediction time. When the decoder declares "architectures": null, the check now keeps the wrapper name, as intake and the collector do. This also fixes the same case for text_config decoders, which failed at prediction time on main.
The helper imports only the standard library, so config intake keeps the cold-process import guarantee from #248. One shape is the exception: a document that holds both text_config and a nonempty llm_config reads the registry from aisimulate_core.sdk.common. The two cold-process guards in tests/unit/test_support_topology.py and tests/unit/test_onboard_topology.py now allow aisimulate_core.decoder_config and still block aisimulate_core.sdk. Intake imports the helper inside load_model_config, so the import guards in tests/unit/test_fpm_config_imports.py and tests/test_resource_supervision.py stay unchanged.
The users of this change are people who onboard Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, or another model that nests its decoder under llm_config, through FPM self-service onboarding (AISIM-2132).
Review map
Risk level: medium. The change crosses the collector, config intake and the SDK profile check.
Start with: python/aisimulate/src/aisimulate_core/decoder_config.py, then collector/fpm_forward/model_capability.py and load_model_config in src/aisimulate/support/config_profile.py.
Public or serialized contract changed: yes.
The collector plan, the intake result and the profile architecture check change for configs whose decoder is under llm_config. No serialized format changes, and the collector data contract does not change.
The FPM collector rules (layer_permissions.md) limit a collector task to collector/ and tests/unit/collector/. This fix also changes intake and the SDK, so it needs the owner's cross-module approval, which it has. The approval record is a comment on the tracking issue. The collector code owners are the forward-pass-engine code owners. Please review the collector change explicitly.
Compatibility or rollback concern:
Main bundles 97 model configs. Only nvidia--NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Super-VL-120B-A12B-NVFP4, which feat: bundle Nemotron 3.5 Super VL NVFP4 for offline text-path modeling #673 bundled, declares llm_config. This PR reads its decoder, so config intake now reports the NemotronHForCausalLM decoder with cache geometry pending the runtime probe, in place of unrecognized architecture NemotronH_Omni_Reasoning_V3. 1b9658e pins that result. The other 96 configs declare no llm_config, so the helper returns the same key as before, and each keeps its decoder key, its collector template and its intake result.
A profile written earlier with the wrapper name of an unregistered llm_config checkpoint now fails the profile architecture check with a clear error. No such profile exists in this repository. The published FPM dataset (nvidia/aisimulate-fpm-dataset) holds 10 models, and none nests its decoder under llm_config.
For a wrapper that the registry maps to llm_config, a null, empty or non-object llm_config leaves the document flat, as today. A malformed text_config is still refused with today's text.

Tests (local runs):
At 1b9658e, after the rebase onto main 2022b01 on 2026-11-06: tests/unit and tests/golden from python/aisimulate: 14,640 passed, 2 failed. The root tests: 5,793 passed, 7 failed. cargo test --workspace: 3,170 passed. The 9 failures come from the local setup (No module named 'collector', and a baseline commit that the local clone lacks), and they fail the same way on plain main 2022b01.

At 309b171, a check by construction over the 95 packaged configs of main 7980e95 printed 95 configurations, 0 changed. Main 2022b01 adds two configs. Only the Super VL config declares llm_config, and 1b9658e pins its new result.
Fast CI: pending at 1b9658e. It passed at 309b171 before the rebase (run).
Full CI: pending at 1b9658e. It passed at 309b171 before the rebase (run).
CodeRabbit reviewed commit: 309b171, pending at 1b9658e. Its full review found no actionable issue. Its Cross-Layer Contract pre-merge check names the context-length lookup and the collector's expert scan. The follow-up AISIM-2210 covers both.
Codex reviewed commit: 1b9658e, with a local codex exec review of the branch diff against main, 2022b019..1b9658ec (codex-cli 0.167.0, gpt-6-astra). It found no issues. Before the rebase, two reviews ran. The first found that a decoder with "architectures": null replaced the wrapper name in the profile check, and ddbf3d9 (309b171 before the rebase) corrects that. The second found one Minor issue: intake accepts an llm_config object that itself holds a text_config. For that shape, intake and the collector read the outer decoder, and the op-level parser reads the inner one. No packaged config has this shape. The follow-up AISIM-2210 refuses it, in both directions.
Negative or boundary cases:
The decoder under llm_config names its own architecture, names none, or declares "architectures": null. Without a name, the collector and intake keep the wrapper name, and the profile check agrees.
Both keys: the registered key wins. For an unregistered wrapper, text_config wins.
A null, empty, list or string llm_config loads as a flat config. A null, empty, list or string text_config raises today's error.
An llm_config decoder that holds its own llm_config raises ambiguous nested llm_config.
An llm_config decoder under an unregistered wrapper is checked against an adjacent hf_quant_config.json, in the collector and in intake.
Malformed wrapper architectures values (string, object entry, empty list, object) never make the helper raise.
Every production change is pinned: reverting any one of the three call sites fails its tests.
Expected-value derivation: N/A. The tests assert template IDs, marker texts and notes, not numbers.
Before/after output: the table above. The flat packaged config nvidia--NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-FP8, wrapped in the fix: recognize Nemotron Super 3.5 checkpoints #562 shape, is the test input.
Modeling or data provenance
N/A. This PR changes which decoder config the onboarding steps read. It adds no data.
Risk: Medium. The three areas that need the most human attention are decoder-key selection when both keys exist, consistency between FPM intake and downstream parsers, and validation status on the current HEAD.
decoder_config_key(document) is a new shared helper. When both text_config and a nonempty llm_config exist, it selects the key registered for the wrapper’s first architecture. Otherwise, it selects text_config when present, then a nonempty llm_config. The helper is re-exported by aisimulate_core.sdk.fpm_model_metadata.
FPM config intake, the collector, and SDK profile architecture validation now use the selected decoder. Profile validation retains the wrapper architecture when the decoder’s architectures field is absent or null. The change does not alter serialized formats or the collector data contract.
Review concern: The reported unresolved Minor issue is consistent with the inspected implementation. Intake selects the decoder key with decoder_config_key, while an op-level parser in collector/op_plans.py directly reads text_config when present. An llm_config object that also contains text_config could therefore yield different decoder views. Confirm the expected config shape and parser behavior before merge.
Tests added cover helper selection, llm_config intake and collection, architecture fallback, and malformed values. The author reports passing test runs, lint and formatting checks, and Fast CI and Full CI at the stated commits. These results are reported; completion on the current HEAD is not available. The author also reports that all 95 packaged configs retain their existing decoder key, collector template, and intake result.
Technical quality: The added tests target the changed behavior. The supplied review information reports one open Minor issue; other severity counts are unavailable. The bot review is not approval.
Merge readiness: Current-head CI and test status is not available. The reported validation results do not establish current-head status.
The change adds shared selection for text_config and llm_config. Config intake, collector capability handling, and profile architecture validation use the selected decoder key. Tests and documentation cover the selection rules and related behavior.
Adds decoder_config_key. A present text_config is selected unless a nonempty llm_config is mapped to the first declared architecture in the registry. Tests cover key precedence, malformed values, and absent configurations.
Config intake and profile architecture validation python/aisimulate/src/aisimulate/support/config_profile.py, python/aisimulate/src/aisimulate_core/sdk/fpm_profile.py, python/aisimulate/tests/unit/test_support_config_profile.py, python/aisimulate/tests/unit/sdk/test_fpm_profile.py
Config intake uses the selected key for decoder metadata and notes. Profile validation merges the selected decoder configuration with top-level metadata and retains top-level architectures when the decoder architecture is absent or null. Tests cover nested configurations and architecture resolution.
The collector uses the selected decoder configuration for architecture, precision, and quantization-sidecar handling. Tests cover flat and nested Nemotron 3 Super configurations, and the documentation describes the selection rules.
An ambiguous nested decoder can fail during collection rendering. Reject it at intake and test a supported nested configuration through rendering before merging.

Full details: Cross-Layer Contract
Explanation
The new llm_config path is not traced through all affected consumers. - model_capability.py:75-80 now selects the nested decoder, but database.py:144-154 checks expert fields only at the root and in text_config. A decoder with moe_num_experts or one declared expert can pass the collector's is_moe check (capabilities.py:45-46) and miss this separate safety check. The dense-KV tests cover only the root and text_config (test_fpm_dense_synthetic_kv.py:196-205). - capacity.py:595-619 still ignores llm_config. The compiler's encoder path calls it even when a profile exists (compiler.py:218-225). The bundled Nemotron VL config puts its context limit under llm_config (nvidia--NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Super-VL-120B-A12B-NVFP4_config.json:18,131), so that path cannot resolve the limit. - The new tests stop at intake, capability and profile validation. The llm_config path through parsed_payload() and generator rendering remains untested (model_capability.py:95-115, runner.py:1654-1666). Existing rendering tests use text_config (test_fpm_profile_collection.py:334-365). - The compatibility claim that no packaged config contains llm_config is incorrect for the reviewed head. The bundled Nemotron VL config contains it, and the new test expects its intake result to change (test_support_config_profile.py:1499-1509). This also corrects the previous verdict's statement that the current tree contains no such config.
Resolution
Update the dense-KV expert check and affected context-length consumers to use the selected decoder. Add end-to-end tests for llm_config through dense-KV aggregation, context resolution, parsed payload, generator rendering and the CLI path. Verify and update the packaged-config compatibility claim against the reviewed head.

Approving. The decoder-key precedence is right, and the three readers pick the same decoder.
What I checked at this head
Shapes: I ran intake, the collector's effective_payload/parsed_payload and the profile architecture check with both keys present, each key alone, and a null text_config. All three readers chose the same key in every case.
Packaged configs: none of the 95 changes its decoder key. 65 are flat, 30 use text_config and none uses llm_config.
architectures: null: the change newly accepts only the wrapper name, which is what intake and the collector already write.
Remaining points
Two minor points inline.
Test gap: the new profile-check tests cover acceptance only. A test that a profile written with the wrapper name now fails with FPM profile architecture mismatch, when the checkpoint's llm_config names its own architecture, would pin the behavior change the description calls out.
layer_permissions.md: the collector change follows the rules. It refuses with a classified error at planning time, adds no silent skip and leaves the data contract unchanged. Please link the cross-module approval the description mentions, so it is on record.
This was a static review apart from the key-selection runs above.
decoder_config_key moves to the standard-library module aisimulate_core/decoder_config.py so that config intake keeps its cold-process import guarantee.

Add five both-keys rows to test_decoder_config_key so that the list guard and the str guard in decoder_config_key stay pinned, because a document with one key never reaches the registry branch.
State in the decoder_config module docstring that a document holding both text_config and a nonempty llm_config reads the registry from aisimulate_core.sdk.common, the one exception to the cold-process guarantee.
Name tests/unit/test_fpm_config_imports.py and the repository-root tests/test_resource_supervision.py in the comment above the function-local import in config_profile.py, because those two tests forbid a module-level import.
Use a synthetic wrapper name in the collector sidecar test instead of InternVLChatModel, as its intake twin does, so the test does not depend on that name staying out of MULTIMODAL_TEXT_CONFIG_KEY.
Reword the implementation guide to say that the collector and the profile architecture check choose the decoder key the same way, because database.py still reads text_config for its expert scan.

The profile check merged the decoder config over the wrapper, so a decoder that declares "architectures": null replaced the wrapper's list with null, while intake and the collector read null as absent and keep the wrapper name, and the prediction-time check then rejected the profile that onboarding wrote. The check now reads a null decoder architecture as absent, as the collector does, which also fixes the same overwrite that already existed for text_config decoders, and the tests pin the null spelling for both keys in the profile check and in the collector and intake parity test.

…its llm_config
#673 (77ee9fc) bundled nvidia--NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Super-VL-120B-A12B-NVFP4_config.json on main. Intake on main does not read llm_config, so it reads that file flat and reports unrecognized architecture NemotronH_Omni_Reasoning_V3. #673 listed the file in _UNRECOGNIZED of test_support_config_profile.py with that result.
Intake now reads the decoder under llm_config (config_profile.py:626-639). For this file it finds the decoder architecture NemotronHForCausalLM and the recurrent-state fields mamba_num_heads and ssm_state_size. The file is no longer an unrecognized architecture, so test_packaged_unrecognized_architectures_are_pending_and_mla_keeps_explicit_accounting failed after the rebase onto main.
The entry leaves _UNRECOGNIZED. The new test test_bundled_nemotron_super_vl_reads_its_llm_config pins the new result for the bundled file. The runtime layout holds the two recurrent-state fields. The decoder architecture is NemotronHForCausalLM, and the decoder_config and decoder_architecture notes name llm_config. The draft has no profile. Its cache geometry waits for the runtime probe and names the two fields, and cache_layout and kv_bytes_per_token are not reported as missing. Both tests fail on the code of main.

Test: the follow-up AISIM-2210 adds a profile-check test where the profile names the wrapper and the llm_config of the checkpoint names its decoder. It expects FPM profile architecture mismatch, and it fails on the check of main.
Approval: the issue owner approved the cross-module scope on 2026-10-30. The record is now a comment on AISIM-2170, and the description links it.
This PR is also rebased onto main 2022b01 now, with one more commit, 1b9658e. Main's #673 bundled the Nemotron 3.5 Super VL NVFP4 config, and its test listed that file as an unrecognized architecture. This PR reads its llm_config, so the decoder is now NemotronHForCausalLM, with cache geometry pending the runtime probe. 1b9658e moves the entry out of _UNRECOGNIZED and pins the new result. Without it, a merge of this PR turns main red. The four earlier commits are unchanged.

@coderabbitai On the outside-diff finding at config_profile.py:626-639: this is the nested-decoder shape from the review thread above, a decoder under llm_config that holds a text_config. The follow-up AISIM-2210 refuses a decoder that holds the other decoder key, in both directions, in intake, the collector and the profile check. Intake and rendering then cannot read different geometry. On the Cross-Layer Contract check: the context-length lookup and the dense-KV expert scan move to the selected decoder in AISIM-2210. The packaged-config claim in the description now reflects main 2022b01: 97 configs, and one of them declares llm_config.
@Arsene12358 The updated PR description now acknowledges the bundled llm_config config.
At 1b9658ec, the nested-decoder finding and cross-layer concerns remain in this PR. Intake rejects a decoder containing its own key, but not the other decoder key. The context-length lookup and dense-KV expert scan still ignore llm_config.
I could not verify AISIM-2210 because the Linear lookup was unavailable. Please share a link to the follow-up code and tests, or retry the lookup. The repository’s cross-layer review guidance calls for tests through the final consumer. Please verify that the follow-up covers both nested-key directions, context resolution, dense-KV aggregation, and rendering through the CLI.

Planning and rendering: test_nested_llm_config_checkpoint_reaches_the_parsed_metadata_and_the_rendered_cell calls build_collection_plan and _render_cell.
No test runs the collector command-line entry point on an llm_config checkpoint, so the argument parsing and the process launch stay uncovered for this shape. #778 states this under Evidence.

@Arsene12358 I checked #778 at 1861e836. It is open and stacked on the current head of #656. Its code and tests cover the nested-key refusals, context lookup, dense-KV expert scan, and planning through _render_cell. Those fixes are not in #656 itself.
Before relying on the follow-up:
Please test an llm_config checkpoint through the collector CLI, including argument parsing and process launch. The rendering test does not cover those steps. The repository’s cross-layer review guidance calls for final-consumer coverage.
For a registered llm_config wrapper with only text_config, intake selects text_config, but the SDK op-level parser reads the root. Please test and resolve that difference or reject the shape.
If #656 must be safe independently, bring the fixes into #656 before merging. I inspected the code but did not run tests. Full CI for #778 was still in progress when checked.

# AISimulate review contract
## High-value review paths
For schedulers and simulation state, inspect cancellation, preemption, draining,
retry, duplication, empty inputs, terminal events, queue fairness, time units,
and determinism. For performance modeling, compare cold, warm, and sweep paths;
selection rules and data-source precedence deserve the same scrutiny as
formulas. For cross-layer changes, require a test that exercises the final
consumer, not only object construction or an isolated mock.
@coderabbitai On the collector command line: I ran collector/collect.py --ops fpm_forward --plan-only --fpm-model-config <dir> on the nested checkpoint of the #778 test, at 1b9658ec8 and at 1861e836c. Both runs planned PrivateMoeForCausalLM as MoE, with template generic:moe_gqa and 2 cells. The flat decoder alone gives the same plan. Argument parsing only passes the paths to build_collection_plan (collector/fpm_forward/entry.py:168-188). test_resolve_inputs_passes_explicit_model_config_to_planner checks that pass-through. The launch runs the files that _render_cell writes, and the #778 test checks those files. No automated test runs this command on an llm_config checkpoint yet.
On the registered wrapper that holds only text_config: the difference is real at 1b9658ec8 and at 1861e836c. I tested the smallest shape, the wrapper NemotronH_Omni_Reasoning_V3 with the decoder of the bundled Nemotron 3.5 Super VL configuration under text_config. Intake and the collector read text_config and get 88 layers. The SDK parser reads the root and raises Model config must define 'num_hidden_layers' or a parseable layer pattern (sdk/utils.py:958-959). So this shape fails loudly in the op-level parser. A silent difference needs decoder fields at the wrapper root as well. With half of the layers at the root, the parser read 44 layers and intake read 88. No bundled configuration and no checkpoint that we know has either shape. #778 states this difference in its description. AISIM-2351 tracks a refusal of this shape, in both directions.
@Arsene12358 The reported --plan-only runs cover CLI argument parsing and planning for the nested checkpoint. They do not exercise process launch. Please test a launched cell with that checkpoint; an automated CLI regression would also protect this path. The repository’s cross-layer review guidance calls for final-consumer coverage.
The reported wrapper shape can silently produce different layer counts when decoder fields also exist at the root. No known checkpoint has that shape, but the risk remains until both alternate-key directions are rejected or parsed consistently. I could not verify AISIM-2351 because the Linear lookup was unavailable. Please share the issue details or retry the lookup.
#778 remains open, so its nested-key, context-length, and dense-KV fixes are not yet in #656. If #656 must be safe on its own, include those fixes before merging. GitHub currently reports #656 as BLOCKED; I did not verify the cause.

@coderabbitai On the launch: a launched cell starts a vLLM engine on a GPU node, and the unit suites start no engine. The launch runs the files that _render_cell writes, and the #778 test checks those files for the nested checkpoint.
On the wrapper shape: AISIM-2351 covers a checkpoint of a registered wrapper that lacks its registry key but holds the other decoder key. Intake, the collector and the profile check will refuse it. They refuse it in both directions, with a text that names the wrapper and both keys. A test of the smallest shape runs through each of the three readers. The change comes after #778, because #778 owns the shared decoder rules.
On the merge order: #656 and #778 merge together, in that order.
For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.
@Arsene12358 The reported plan-only run and #778 rendering test do not verify GPU launch. The repository’s review guidance calls for final-consumer coverage. Please verify a launched cell on a GPU before relying on this runtime path.
For the planned #656 → #778 merge, confirm the required checks pass on both merge revisions. At the reviewed head, #656 does not contain #778’s nested-key, context-length, and dense-KV fixes.
AISIM-2351 describes the remaining wrapper-key fix, but its implementation is not yet verified here. Until it lands, avoid registered wrappers that contain only the non-registry decoder key. The parser can silently read different geometry.

Why and what changed
Nemotron 3.5 Super VL (
NemotronH_Omni_Reasoning_V3, registered in #562) nests its decoder config underllm_config. FPM onboarding read onlytext_config, so it missed the Mamba state of this model:collector --fpm, no profile or versionaic_family:nemotronh:dense_mharecurrent-state field mamba_num_heads, recurrent-state field ssm_state_sizecollector --fpm --fpm-backend-versionaic_family:nemotronh:dense_mhageneric:native_runtimeunrecognized architecture NemotronH_Omni_Reasoning_V3mamba_num_headsandssm_state_sizemarkersThe "After" column is the same result that the flat
NemotronHForCausalLMconfig gives on main.One helper,
decoder_config_keyinpython/aisimulate/src/aisimulate_core/decoder_config.py, now picks the key that holds the decoder config. The key thatMULTIMODAL_TEXT_CONFIG_KEYregisters for the wrapper's first architecture comes first. Then comestext_configwhenever it is present, as today. Then comesllm_config, only as a nonempty object. Three readers use the helper, so they read the same decoder:collector/fpm_forward/model_capability.py:effective_payloadand the ModelOpt sidecar check)src/aisimulate/support/config_profile.py:load_model_config). Its notes and errors keep their exacttext_configtext and namellm_configfor anllm_configdecoder.src/aisimulate_core/sdk/fpm_profile.py). Without this, a profile whose architecture intake reads fromllm_configfailsFPM profile architecture mismatchat prediction time. When the decoder declares"architectures": null, the check now keeps the wrapper name, as intake and the collector do. This also fixes the same case fortext_configdecoders, which failed at prediction time on main.The helper imports only the standard library, so config intake keeps the cold-process import guarantee from #248. One shape is the exception: a document that holds both
text_configand a nonemptyllm_configreads the registry fromaisimulate_core.sdk.common. The two cold-process guards intests/unit/test_support_topology.pyandtests/unit/test_onboard_topology.pynow allowaisimulate_core.decoder_configand still blockaisimulate_core.sdk. Intake imports the helper insideload_model_config, so the import guards intests/unit/test_fpm_config_imports.pyandtests/test_resource_supervision.pystay unchanged.The users of this change are people who onboard Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, or another model that nests its decoder under
llm_config, through FPM self-service onboarding (AISIM-2132).Review map

This PR reads its decoder, so config intake now reports theNemotronHForCausalLMdecoder with cache geometry pending the runtime probe, in place ofunrecognized architecture NemotronH_Omni_Reasoning_V3. 1b9658e pins that result. The other 96 configs declare nollm_config, so the helper returns the same key as before, and each keeps its decoder key, its collector template and its intake result.llm_configcheckpoint now fails the profile architecture check with a clear error. No such profile exists in this repository.
