fix(sglang): stop an unusable mooncake backend crashing workers after model load

[glamr-agent]

Summary

An SGLang worker started with --elastic-ep-backend mooncake in an image whose mooncake torch ProcessGroup extension does not import passes argument parsing, loads the model, and only then dies inside upstream engine code, with no mention of the flag that caused it. With --enable-dp-attention the DP-attention all-gather is the first collective over that group, so that is where it surfaces. This change checks the precondition before Dynamo does any model I/O.

Details:

components/src/dynamo/sglang/elastic_ep_preflight.py adds check_elastic_ep_backend(). It returns immediately unless mooncake was requested, then imports the extension and reads torch.distributed.Backend.backend_capability, raising ValueError when the import fails or a readable registry is missing either backend SGLang builds its elastic-EP groups from — mooncake for the device group, mooncake-cpu for the metadata collectives. A wheel that registers one without the other is a partial registration the engine falls over on later, so the error names the missing half. An unreadable registry fails open, since backend_capability is a torch internal.

mooncake renamed that extension mooncake.ep to mooncake.pg and SGLang followed, so an image can hold the wrong half of the rename: the wheel imports and the engine still cannot start. _required_process_group_modules() reads the installed engine's own sources to find which name it imports and probes only that one, widening back to both only when those files cannot be read. The error names the installed mooncake distributions, the running torch — or, when torch is present but will not load, the loader failure itself rather than a misleading not installed — and the pg_*/ep_* extensions the wheel ships. The module imports no sglang symbol and imports torch only inside the probes, so its unit tests need no engine, no mooncake, and no GPU.

Each probe catches the errors it can actually produce: ImportError and ValueError around importlib.util.find_spec, ImportError and AttributeError around the torch registry read. The one deliberately broad catch is the extension import itself, where any failure is the answer being asked for and the exception type is carried verbatim into the diagnostic; the code states why.

components/src/dynamo/sglang/args.py calls the check immediately after argument parsing, before the model fetch and before ServerArgs.from_cli_args() — which downloads the model itself. It reads the two flags off the parsed namespace rather than off ServerArgs, so the diffusion and video paths, whose ServerArgs stub carries neither flag, are covered as well.

conftest.py seeded engine modules under except ImportError; an editable install with an unreadable source tree raises PermissionError and aborted collection of the whole suite. It now catches OSError as well and prints one line naming the cause. Any other failure comes from inside an engine that did begin importing, so it propagates rather than leaving the suite to run against a half-initialized engine.

The elastic-EP fault-tolerance template gains a note recording the mooncake build the configuration requires.

The PR workflow also passes framework: triton to the shared test workflow. Without this required input, GitHub rejects the entire workflow before any job starts.

Validation

Remote validation is pending for d20effcced933632b3af2181bcd7dcf67fe7c58e.

The previous head passed Pre Merge, but full CI's Triton CPU job reported 117 passed, 28 skipped, and one collection error: router benchmark helpers import networkx, which was missing from the test image. This head adds the same explicit test dependency now present on main. The repository-pinned requirements formatter and git diff --check passed for this repair. No local tests, builds, or benchmarks were run during this maintenance pass.

Where should the reviewer start?

components/src/dynamo/sglang/elastic_ep_preflight.py, especially its two fail-open paths — an unreadable torch backend registry and unreadable engine sources — then the call site in components/src/dynamo/sglang/args.py.

🤖 Automated AI review — advisory. An AI agent's judgment of
whether this change is logically sound based on the code and reported
validation results. This is not an approval. Repository CI and human
reviewers decide whether to merge.

Assessment: sound

This is a re-review. The previous pass blocked on one thing — a template comment
that promised a check the code does not perform — and listed four nits plus one
description correction. All six are addressed, and the fixes are real fixes
rather than restatements. Nothing in the new work introduces a defect that
should hold up publication.

The core judgment stands and I am not reopening it: the reported crash is a
missing backend, not a missing collective, and refusing
--elastic-ep-backend mooncake while parsing arguments is the right place to
say so. components/src/dynamo/sglang/args.py:632 is the only wiring point
needed — ServerArgs is constructed in exactly one place
(components/src/dynamo/sglang/args.py:628) and parse_args() has exactly one
production caller (components/src/dynamo/sglang/main.py:44), so every LLM and
diffusion worker entry passes through the guard once.

The blocking finding is genuinely resolved

I read the template and the guard against each other rather than trusting either
summary. tests/fault_tolerance/deploy/templates/sglang/sglang_elastic_ep.yaml:45-50
now reads:

#     While parsing arguments the Dynamo SGLang worker tries both module names
#     and refuses to start with a diagnostic if neither resolves, so the first
#     case fails fast instead of after the model loads. It does NOT catch the
#     second: either name resolving is accepted, so a wheel that ships only the
#     name this engine does not import still passes the check and then fails
#     inside the engine. Match the wheel to the engine version by hand.

That is exactly what check_elastic_ep_backend() does. _import_process_group_extension()
returns "usable" as soon as either mooncake.pg or mooncake.ep imports, and
nothing compares the name that resolved against the name the installed engine
wants — so the rename skew is not caught, and the comment now says so in those
words. The overstatement in the description is gone too: it now reads "This
change catches the first and not the second."

The fail-open path cannot swallow a real "mooncake not registered"

_registered_torch_backends() now returns Optional[Dict[str, Tuple[str, ...]]],
with None reserved for "could not read the registry":

    try:
        import torch.distributed as torch_distributed

        return dict(torch_distributed.Backend.backend_capability)
    except Exception:  # noqa: BLE001 - unreadable, not "nothing registered"
        return None

I traced the case the previous review was worried about in reverse. A registry
that is readable and simply has no mooncake key returns a populated dict,
never None — dict(...) on a map lacking a key raises nothing. So the
return at components/src/dynamo/sglang/elastic_ep_preflight.py:205 is
reachable only when the try block itself raises: torch absent, or
Backend.backend_capability moved or restructured upstream. A genuine
unregistered-mooncake image still falls through to registered_backends = readable_backends and raises. The fail-open is scoped to the registry
assertion only; the import probe — the part that catches the reported failure —
stays fatal and runs first. That is the shape the previous review asked for.

The remaining four are done and check out against the files

• Mock-free probe coverage. Two of the ten cases now run the shipped probes
  with nothing stubbed:
  test_import_probe_reports_every_module_name_it_tried blocks mooncake at
  sys.meta_path and asserts the real _import_process_group_extension()
  names both mooncake.pg and mooncake.ep in its failure string, and
  test_absent_mooncake_renders_as_an_explicit_absence asserts
  _format_versions({}) == "none installed". Blocking at sys.meta_path
  rather than assuming mooncake is missing is the right call — it behaves the
  same in an image that does ship a working wheel.
• conftest.py stderr line. The except Exception widening is kept, and
  the new branch prints only when the engine is present-but-broken:
  if not (isinstance(_exc, ModuleNotFoundError) and _exc.name == _name).
  That predicate is the discrimination that matters — a simply-absent engine is
  the normal case and stays silent, and an engine whose own __init__ fails on
  a missing sub-dependency raises ModuleNotFoundError with a different
  .name, so it still prints.
• Call-placement correction. I read
  components/src/dynamo/sglang/args.py:632 directly. The call sits after the
  if/else at function-body indentation, not inside the ServerArgs branch,
  so it also covers the diffusion SimpleNamespace path — which is why reading
  both fields through getattr with defaults is load-bearing rather than
  merely defensive. The description now says this.
• _allgather_base claim narrowed. The description no longer says "every
  published mooncake wheel". It now says "This is one wheel, not a survey of
  every published mooncake wheel — but it is the wheel the report came from",
  which is precisely what the nm evidence supports and precisely what the
  argument needs.

The extra test earns its place

test_unreadable_torch_backend_registry_does_not_block_startup was added beyond
what was asked, and the printer disclosed it. It is not decorative. It is the
only case that fails when the guard is fail-closed rather than fail-open, and
the reported mutation run demonstrates exactly that: restoring the pre-review
fail-closed body flips this one case and only this one case
(1 failed, 9 passed), while reverting the whole guard body to return flips
the two positive cases (2 failed, 8 passed). Different mutations, disjoint
failure sets — that is what a discriminating test suite looks like, and it is
also why none of these tests should be deleted.

The late description edits are prose-only

Two corrections landed after validation finished — a test-count fix (five cases
monkeypatch the seams, not four) and the backend_capability map printed in
full. I checked that no source changed underneath them rather than taking that
on trust:

• git diff 946accea5..HEAD is byte-identical to the recorded diff (same
  sha256, 47e0d1db8acd2dd8664b5633c38f06a737443028fa22b431d5e630891fc2fae5).
• HEAD is still c88726f480c09b8956a23468d071a76b67b99052, on the working
  branch rather than the base branch.
• git status --porcelain is empty.

Both corrected statements are accurate. Counting the test file by hand: five
cases route through the seam-stubbing helpers
(test_rejects_mooncake_backend_the_image_cannot_serve,
test_reports_missing_mooncake_install_explicitly,
test_ignores_backends_other_than_mooncake — parametrized over four values —
test_accepts_mooncake_when_the_image_can_serve_it, and the new
unreadable-registry case), and two do not stub the probes at all. Seven
functions, ten cases. The backend_capability block now shows the full map
including gloo, nccl, xccl, ucc, mpi, and fake, which is what the
image actually reports.

Findings

Both are nits. Neither should hold up publication.

• components/src/dynamo/sglang/elastic_ep_preflight.py:205 — the fail-open
  branch collapses two different conditions into one: "torch renamed a private
  attribute" and "torch is not importable at all" both yield None and both
  skip the registry assertion silently. The second reading would let a worker
  past the check on an image with no usable torch. I could not construct a
  reachable case — the mooncake extension at
  components/src/dynamo/sglang/elastic_ep_preflight.py:120 is compiled
  against torch, so an image where it imports but torch.distributed does not
  is close to impossible, and such a worker dies loudly a moment later
  regardless. Recording it because the tri-state is deliberately about telling
  conditions apart, and these two are worth telling apart if the branch ever
  grows: catching AttributeError/TypeError separately from ImportError
  would keep "torch is gone" fatal.
• tests/fault_tolerance/deploy/templates/sglang/sglang_elastic_ep.yaml:50 —
  "Match the wheel to the engine version by hand" tells the operator what to do
  but not how, and this is the one failure mode the preflight deliberately does
  not catch, so the comment is the whole procedure. Two commands would make it
  actionable — printing the engine version without importing the engine
  (python3 -c "import importlib.metadata as m; print(m.version('sglang'))")
  and listing which module names the installed wheel actually ships
  (ls <site-packages>/mooncake/ | grep -E '^(pg|ep)_') — so the reader can
  compare the two directly rather than inferring which name their engine wants.

Validation audit

I audited the reported evidence rather than accepting the verdict. Every check
that was planned appears in the recorded run — the editable install, the Python
lint, the Python unit tests, and the code inspection — with no entry reading
"not run", and each log shows a command that actually executed against this
branch. Two things are worth stating precisely:

• The mutation entries record the wrapper's exit status, which is 0 because
  the wrapper is expected to observe a failing suite. The failure is inside the
  log, as pytest exit: 1 with the named failing tests. That is consistent, not
  a masked failure, but a reader skimming exit codes alone would misread it.
• The mutations were applied out of tree via PYTHONPATH, and every mutation
  log ends with a clean-checkout check. The final state of the tree is the
  unmutated one, and 10 passed in 0.06s is reported against it.

The conftest.py change was exercised in both polarities in this image, which
is stronger evidence than a unit test would have been:

=== A. the new conftest stderr line, fired for real ===
conftest: sglang is installed but could not be imported, so tests that import it will fail: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/sgl-workspace/sglang/python/sglang/__init__.py'
exit: 0

=== B. the same loop with the BASE version of conftest.py ===
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/sgl-workspace/sglang/python/sglang/__init__.py'
exit: 1

The base version aborts; the new version prints one line naming the root cause
and continues. The guard itself was also run end to end with no probe mocked, in
both polarities — a silent return on this image, and the full operator-facing
diagnostic when mooncake is made unimportable.

The validator's verdict is an unqualified pass, not a hedge. It flagged the two
description discrepancies it found rather than smoothing them over, and those
two are the ones the description now fixes.

What remains unproven

Stated plainly, because none of it is a reason to block and all of it is a
reason not to overclaim:

• No container was built and no GPU worker was started. The Docker daemon is
  unavailable in this environment, so the deployment template that carries the
  corrected comment was never applied.
• No real elastic-EP startup was exercised. Nothing here started a worker
  against a deliberately broken image and observed the preflight speak up before
  the model loaded. The claim that this fires at argument-parse time instead of
  after weights load rests on where the call sits, not on an observed startup.
• The parse_args() → guard wiring was verified by reading, not by
  executing. SGLang is installed but not importable in this environment
  (PermissionError on its __init__.py, as shown above), so parse_args()
  cannot run here. I confirmed the single construction site, the single
  production caller, and the placement outside the if/else by reading the
  file; that is a strong static argument and not a substitute for one real
  start.
• The rename skew is documented, not caught. By design, and now accurately
  described. An image whose wheel ships only the module name the installed
  engine does not import still passes this check and still fails inside the
  engine. Anyone relying on the preflight as a complete image validator will be
  surprised; the comment is what prevents that, so it needs to survive future
  edits.

Round 1 — pushed 343dfaf30fd142b76721d7f8fd7c01d4ac4034a9.

Findings addressed:

• The preflight ran after await fetch_model(model_path) and after ServerArgs.from_cli_args(parsed_args), and read its flags off server_args, which the diffusion and video paths build as a types.SimpleNamespace() carrying neither. It now runs immediately after argument parsing and reads parsed_args.elastic_ep_backend and parsed_args.enable_dp_attention.
• _import_process_group_extension() returned success on whichever of mooncake.pg or mooncake.ep imported first, so an image holding the wrong half of that rename passed and still failed during engine startup. _required_process_group_modules() now reads the installed engine sources as text to pick the name and probes only that one, widening back to both when the sources cannot be read.
• Four test and docstring reductions: the parametrization is [None, "nccl"], the _format_versions helper-only case is gone, and both over-long docstrings are condensed. Two behaviour tests were added for the new resolver.

Move the metadata imports to module scope.

importlib.metadata is standard library code and does not need lazy loading. Keep only the Torch imports lazy because the preflight must work when Torch is unavailable.

As per coding guidelines, “Keep imports at the top of the file; always flag import statements inside function bodies.” As per path instructions, “keep imports at module scope except permitted optional-dependency handling.”

[glamr-agent]

nursery: Pushed 1d980cce281a5dd92b6de74c291c3aa36d198e75, adding the missing framework: triton input to triton-test. GitHub rejected the previous full CI run before creating any jobs because this required input was absent (pr.yaml:940; run 35114192847). The same omission exists on the current base branch.

The new head is conflict-free, and all 19 existing review threads remain resolved. No application-code changes or local tests/builds/benchmarks were made. The repository action-pin linter and whitespace check passed; pre-commit was unavailable locally, and remote pre-commit has now passed.

Current-head CI is incomplete: 13 check runs passed, 7 skipped, and the operator check is still running. CodeRabbit is reviewing; both CodeRabbit and Devin re-reviews were requested once. Full CI authorization was requested once, with no response or full workflow run yet for this head.

The API request for review by dynamo-ops-codeowners returned HTTP 404 and did not register a review request. A maintainer needs to request that review and authorize full CI for this head. Existing human approvals are from the preceding head. Next: inspect the pending checks/reviews, address any new failures, and confirm full CI passes on this exact head. Merge readiness is not established.

nursery: @dynamo-ops please run full CI for d20effc

[glamr-agent]

nursery: Pushed d20effcced933632b3af2181bcd7dcf67fe7c58e, adding networkx to the test-image requirements. The preceding head's Triton CPU job passed 117 tests but failed collection because router benchmark helpers import this missing dependency. The repair matches the dependency declaration already on current main; no base merge was needed.

The repository-pinned requirements formatter and whitespace check passed. Remote pre-commit now passes on the new head. No local tests, builds, benchmarks, or new tests were run or added. All 19 existing review threads remain resolved, and GitHub confirms the branch is conflict-free.

Current-head validation remains incomplete: 13 check runs succeeded, 7 skipped, and the operator check is running. CodeRabbit re-review is pending; CodeRabbit and Devin were each requested once for this head. Full CI authorization was requested once; there is no response or full CI run yet for this SHA.

The attempt in this pass to request dynamo-ops-codeowners through the review-request API returned HTTP 404 and registered no request. A maintainer needs to route that review. Existing human approvals remain in GitHub's approval rollup but predate this repair. Next: authorize full CI for this exact head, inspect its results and pending reviews, and repair any new failures. Merge readiness is not established.

Document triton as an accepted framework value.

The framework input description lists supported values but omits triton. The triton-test path passes this value through shared-test.yml to pytest-local, which stores it in test metadata and uses it in artifact names without an allowlist. Add triton to the description.

nursery: Final validation passed for d20effcced933632b3af2181bcd7dcf67fe7c58e. Full CI run 35133647466 succeeded: 87 check runs passed, 31 were skipped, and none remained pending or failed. All seven branch-required checks passed, including the backend, Dynamo, deployment, and pre-merge gates. The Triton CPU job reported 117 passed, 28 skipped, and zero collection errors, confirming the existing test-dependency repair.

All 19 review threads were resolved, and GitHub retained the human approvals. The optional framework-description nit was left unchanged. This maintenance pass made no source changes, commits, pushes, or base merges, and ran no local tests, builds, or benchmarks.

The earlier attempt to request dynamo-ops-codeowners returned HTTP 404 and registered no request. Existing bot requests were not repeated. No further review routing is needed for this PR: tzulingk merged it at 2026-09-16 19:54:14 UTC as 52969091fe5338b3b7cd2b0eef5b3bd3df474d10. That merge was performed by the maintainer, not this agent. No remaining action is identified for this PR.
