Controls:
The mechanism result is conclusive: the fix makes Dynamo consume vLLM's DCP KV events using the correct logical block size, the router sees the blocks, and real vLLM cache reuse increases. High-reuse workloads show substantial performance improvements, particularly at concurrency 1 and 32 and in throughput at concurrency 8. The harness's deliberately strict aggregate classification is |

Parked pending an upstream vLLM changeConverting back to draft. Not abandoned — please don't spend review time on it for now. Why. Rather than Dynamo re-deriving Upstream shape. Add an effective KV-event block size to vLLM keeps Staying open as insurance. If the upstream field is rejected or lands in a different shape, this branch is a validated working fallback. About half of it survives regardless: the e2e regression test and the TP/DCP test harness assert end behaviour, not the derivation. Tracked in DYN-3997 (parked) and DYN-4208, which also covers the same defect on the Rust sidecar path — a separate code path this PR cannot reach. Thanks @coderabbitai and @alec-flowers for the review comments; the upstream direction came out of that discussion. |

Tip For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.
The upstream The existing end-to-end regression coverage and TP/DCP test harness remain useful when the upstream API is available. The separate Rust sidecar scope in DYN-4208 also remains correctly excluded from this PR. 🐇⏸️ You are interacting with an AI system. |

Overview:
vLLM decode-context parallelism widens the logical KV block represented by each KV event, but Dynamo currently registers the physical cache block size. For a physical block size of 16 with DCP=2, vLLM emits 32-token blocks and Dynamo rejects them because it expects 16.
This change mirrors the SGLang fix by multiplying the physical main-attention block size by the DCP world size before configuring Dynamo's KV-event publisher and model metadata.
Details:
