feat(triton): Update Triton Base Image to 26.08

[whoisj]

Overview:

This change updates the base image used to build the Dynamo-Triton Runtime container from 26.07 to 26.08.

Details:

• Added cuda13.4 option for --framework=triton which selects the 26.08 base image.
• Existing cuda13.2 option for --framework=triton selects the 26.07 base image.
• Updated relevant documentation as well.

🚫 This PR is NOT linked to an issue:

• Confirmed — no related issue

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added Triton support for CUDA 13.4 configurations.
  • Added compatibility for CUDA versions 13.2 and 13.4.

• Documentation

  • Updated Triton examples, defaults, and compatibility documentation to reference release 26.08.
  • Updated container and driver compatibility information for Triton 26.08.

Walkthrough

Changes

Triton 26.08 support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Runtime configuration and CUDA selection container/context.yaml, container/render.py	The container configuration adds triton.cuda13.4 with Triton 26.08-py3. Triton validation accepts CUDA 13.2 and 13.4, and implicit selection uses 13.4.
Release tag and documentation updates container/README.md, docs/fern/pages/developer-guide/knowledge-base/modular-components/backends/triton/overview.md	Build examples and documented defaults use 26.08-py3. The container and driver matrix includes Triton 26.08 with CUDA 13.4 and driver 610.43.02.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6fa89

The 26.08 build guidance is inconsistent with the selected runtime configuration and may mislead users configuring Triton containers.

Format the CUDA version list according to PEP 8.

The changed list literal omits whitespace after the comma. This violates .ai/python-guidelines.md and affects maintainability only; it does not change runtime behavior. Use ["13.2", "13.4"].

Previously reported defects still present:

• Original discussion: The Triton overview still identifies triton.cuda13.2.runtime_image_tag as the default 26.08 pin, but 26.08 is configured under triton.cuda13.4; the surrounding text also still describes the runtime as CUDA 13.2.
• Original discussion: The default renderer path now sets Triton to CUDA 13.4 and therefore reads triton.cuda13.4, but the documentation still identifies triton.cuda13.2 as the 26.08 default and instructs users to edit that old key. It also still describes the runtime as CUDA 13.2.
• Original discussion: Verified: the default renderer now selects CUDA 13.4 and therefore triton.cuda13.4, but the updated documentation still identifies triton.cuda13.2 as the 26.08 default and as the configuration to edit.
• Original discussion: Verified: the documentation still identifies triton.cuda13.2 as the default 26.08 configuration, although the renderer now selects cuda13.4; it also still says the resulting runtime is CUDA 13.2.

Previously reported defects still present:

• Original discussion: The added cuda13.2 configuration cannot be selected: --cuda-version=13.2 is rejected by argparse, and the implicit path unconditionally sets CUDA 13.4. Thus the stated 26.07 option is unreachable through the renderer.
• Original discussion: Verified still present: Triton rejects explicit --cuda-version and unconditionally selects the last list entry (13.4), so triton.cuda13.2 is unreachable through render.py despite being retained as a supported configuration.
• Original discussion: Verified: Triton validation still rejects an explicit --cuda-version and then unconditionally selects the last configured version, so the retained cuda13.2/26.07 configuration cannot be selected through the renderer. The PR description's claim that cuda13.2 selects 26.07 is therefore not true.

Previously reported defects still present:

• Original discussion: Previously reported defect remains: the overview says explicit --cuda-version is rejected, but render.py accepts 13.2 and 13.4; this leaves the supported 26.07 selection path incorrectly documented.
• Original discussion: Verified still present: the Triton overview says explicit --cuda-version is rejected, but render.py accepts 13.2 and 13.4; these select the retained 26.07 and default 26.08 configurations respectively.
• Original discussion: Verified still present: the overview says explicit --cuda-version is rejected, but render.py accepts Triton 13.2 and 13.4; this misdocuments the supported release-selection path.
