Overview

Restore image- and video-aware KV routing for SGLang builds with engine-owned multimodal identities and the routing-label interface proposed in sgl-project/sglang#45737. SGLang keeps its own cache identity; Dynamo translates labeled event spans into its existing request-side routing tokens and maps event block IDs so aliases remain removable. This PR includes #17126; without usable labels, its text-prefix fallback remains active.

Key Changes

Approximately 350 added production-code lines beyond Stage 1, excluding tests, documentation, and comment-only lines.

  • Worker forwarding: forward eligible frontend media hashes as mm_routing_labels instead of identity overrides, and select the dynamo KV-event format when the operator has not selected one.
  • Event normalization: validate and rewrite per-block spans, assign routing IDs from the resulting chain, and translate parents and removals through one canonical engine-to-routing identity per worker/rank/engine block across tiers. Alias reference counts remain separate for each tier.
  • Operational contract: document required Dynamo and SGLang builds, label encoding, frontend eligibility, direct-source registration, URL behavior, and mapping lifetime. State is bounded by 2^22 mapped tier residencies and 2^20 excluded IDs; live mappings are not evicted to make room.

Review mm_labels.rs and mm_labels_tests.rs first. The first mapping is retained on conflicting stores, and a routing removal is emitted when the last holder on that tier leaves. Exclusion overflow suppresses parented stores for the affected worker/rank until cache clear while continuing to process existing evictions. Duplicate IDs are checked before exclusion state changes.

Validation

CPU validation uses production normalization and real indexes:

Behavior Evidence
GPU image prefix followed by a CPU-only text continuation host_continuation_uses_the_gpu_parents_routing_identity failed before the fix with zero host hits; it now sees one hit and removes it after eviction.
Tier lifetime and bounded state Tests cover both eviction orders, duplicate stores, unknown-tier removal, conflicting or missing labels, capacity exhaustion/readmission, and cache clear.
Overflow and malformed stores exclusion_overflow_preserves_the_relay_source verifies the relay remains usable; duplicate-ID regressions verify malformed stores cannot suppress text eviction.
Native routing labels Python coverage verifies capability detection and forwarding instead of identity overrides. Labels are already-computed hexadecimal u64 hashes; Dynamo parses them rather than hashing the strings again.
Event-format contract A CPU probe using SGLang #45737's actual config, registry, and span producer verified that an omitted format becomes dynamo and emits spans, while explicit default remains unchanged and emits none.
Documentation 226 documentation regression tests passed; documentation lint, Fern configuration/link checks, and applicable pre-commit hooks passed.

The preceding code update passed 1,439 router tests (3 ignored), 126 publisher tests, and 18 focused Python tests. After merging main, the affected Python suites passed 98 tests and the wire suite passed 91. The latest update changes documentation only.

Earlier GPU experiments exercised previous revisions with two workers on one GH200, using Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct and a reduced Kimi-K2.5 configuration with random weights. They covered URL/data-URI images, frontend decoding, video, mixed media, and cache-tier lifecycle. Those historical results do not qualify the current merged code: no new end-to-end GPU serving or memory/throughput benchmark was performed for this update.

Limits and follow-ups

  • Requires a build implementing [Feat] kv-events: Report caller multimodal routing labels as block spans sgl-project/sglang#45737; the pinned SGLang 0.5.22 build does not provide that interface. Labels are sent only when the frontend can reconstruct the complete media token layout.
  • URL passthrough is supported. Mutable URLs and different URLs for identical content can cause false or missed routing predictions; SGLang independently checks cache identity. Existing 30-bit routing-pad collisions remain.
  • The frontend emits 16 hexadecimal digits per media hash. Dynamo accepts labels that parse as hexadecimal u64; arbitrary opaque strings are unsupported. Invalid or incomplete spans retain the text-prefix fallback.
  • Eagle/NextN multimodal windows retain the fallback. Separate encode-worker handoffs are not newly qualified by this PR.
  • State is process-local. Capacity counts tier residencies, including dependent text blocks. No current process-RSS measurement is claimed.
  • The SGLang sidecar remains unflagged and does not provide routing-label translation. The Kubernetes EPP adapter also leaves the flag unset; direct/custom discovery sources must configure it explicitly.
  • Explicit span-capability advertisement, KV-transfer handling for translated IDs, KVBM consumer compatibility, and normalizer metrics remain follow-up work. KV transfer using translated SGLang image/video IDs has not been validated by this integration.

Issues and Ongoing Work

Pull Request Checklist
  • I used Dynamo's /pr-checklist skill, including independent review.
  • Documentation describes build prerequisites, configuration, eligibility, and fallback behavior.
  • CPU regression coverage validates normalization and mapping lifetime.
  • Current revision qualified with end-to-end GPU serving.
  • Required upstream SGLang interface available in the pinned engine build.

Walkthrough

The change adds SGLang multimodal routing-label support and KV-router handling for engine-owned multimodal identities. The router decodes routing spans, maps engine block IDs to Dynamo IDs, and updates event normalization for stores, removals, and clears.

Changes

Multimodal KV routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
SGLang capability detection and routing
components/src/dynamo/sglang/_compat.py, components/src/dynamo/sglang/publisher.py, components/src/dynamo/sglang/request_handlers/llm/decode_handler.py, components/src/dynamo/sglang/tests/*
SGLang capability checks select mm_routing_labels or mm_hashes for aggregated multimodal requests. The publisher sets the engine-owned identity environment variable when the compatibility check succeeds. Tests cover capability detection and forwarding behavior.
Routing-span and token decoding
lib/kv-router/src/zmq_wire/types.rs, lib/kv-router/src/zmq_wire/deserialize.rs, lib/kv-router/src/zmq_wire/mod.rs, lib/kv-router/src/zmq_wire/mm_labels_tests.rs
Wire token IDs use u64, and the wire types include multimodal routing spans and a wide-token sentinel. Deserialization converts valid spans into block multimodal information and narrows token IDs, using the sentinel when an ID does not fit in u32.
Engine identity rewriting and mapping
lib/kv-router/src/zmq_wire/mm_labels.rs, lib/kv-router/src/zmq_wire/mm_labels_tests.rs
The identity tracker rewrites labeled spans, maps engine block IDs to Dynamo IDs, and handles aliases, removals, exclusions, invalid spans, and map capacity. Tests cover matching, reference counting, and exclusion behavior.
Normalizer lifecycle and listener integration
lib/kv-router/src/zmq_wire/mod.rs, lib/kv-router/src/services/indexer/listener.rs, lib/llm/src/kv_router/publisher/zmq_listener.rs, lib/kv-router/src/indexer/concurrent_radix_tree_compressed/remove.rs, lib/kv-router/src/zmq_wire/mm_labels_tests.rs
The normalizer configures identity tracking from the environment and translates store and removal events. Clear events reset tracked state; excluded events produce empty removals. Listener setup passes the setting through, and compressed-indexer empty removals now return successfully before worker validation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 977df

A rare relabel conflict or full ID map can leave stale multimodal cache entries, which makes KV-aware routing overcount cached content. A conflicting environment setting can silently disable multimodal routing, and the Rust CI parser check currently fails. Fix these before merging.

Extend the relabel test to evict the first mapping.

The test stops after the relabel. It does not check that a later removed(&[E_IX, E_KX]) removes the first image chain from the index. That missing step hides the leak reported in mm_labels.rs (translate_store). After the relabel, add an eviction of E_IX and E_KX. Then assert that the scores return to [1] and that engine_mm_tracked_ids() is 0.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not treat a broken SGLang import as legacy identity support.

If the import raises an unexpected exception, this detector returns False. The handler can then forward mm_hashes, and the publisher can leave engine-owned identity handling disabled. The default on __struct_fields__ hides a broken type contract in the same way. Catch only a specific, supported compatibility failure. Read the known struct field directly; otherwise let the error surface. SGLang defines MultimodalDataItem as a msgspec.Struct. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

As per coding guidelines, “If you must catch broadly, use except Exception: … and always re-raise after logging” and “Always flag getattr(obj, "attr", default) when the object's type is known.” As per path instructions, “Prefer failing fast: catch specific exceptions” and “Flag defensive getattr defaults on known types.”

Reject a conflicting disabled identity mode.

When sglang_uses_engine_owned_mm_identity() is true, an existing "0" makes the listener disable EngineMmState. The fallback path truncates each store at the first wide token, so it publishes only preceding text blocks and drops the multimodal block and its following chain. Set the variable to "1" for this engine or fail startup on the conflicting value.

Do not exclude engine IDs that still have a live mapping.

What happens on a relabel conflict:

  • The Some(_) branch pushes engine_id into dropped.
  • That engine_id already has an entry in ids.
  • Lines 287-289 then insert the key into excluded.

Why the mapping leaks:

  • translate_remove checks excluded first (Line 313). It calls continue before it reaches self.ids.remove(&key).
  • The first mapping stays in ids and refs permanently.
  • The router never receives a removal for its Dynamo-owned ID.

What breaks:

  • After the engine evicts E_IX, the worker still scores the full image chain. This overcounts in routing.
  • Later stores with parent E_IX are dropped as excluded_parent, although E_IX is mapped.

The same problem can affect any later block in remaining that already has a mapping. That case applies to both the relabel branch and the map-full branch.

Fix: Skip exclusion for every key that is still in ids.

Proposed fix
         for engine_id in dropped {
-            self.exclude((worker, tier, engine_id));
+            let key = (worker, tier, engine_id);
+            // A still-mapped block keeps its first mapping; excluding it would
+            // make translate_remove skip the ref decrement and leak the index entry.
+            if !self.ids.contains_key(&key) {
+                self.exclude(key);
+            }
         }

Also applies to: 287-289

Use the shared truthy parser for DYN_KV_EVENTS_ENGINE_OWNED_MM_IDENTITY.

The local truthy check duplicates the canonical parser and triggers the repository’s no_bool_parse_forks_outside_canonical_crate check. Replace it with dynamo_truthy::env_is_truthy.

Previously reported defects still present:

  • Original discussion: Dropped engine IDs are still added to excluded even when they retain live entries in ids. Removal checks excluded first, so the mapping/reference and corresponding router entry can remain stale after eviction.
  • Original discussion: Relabel/full-map dropped IDs are still added to excluded even when they retain a live mapping; removals then skip the mapping and reference decrement, leaving stale indexed entries.
  • Original discussion: The broad import catch and defensive getattr still classify unexpected SGLang import/type failures as legacy identity support, which can forward unsafe mm_hashes and disable wide-token handling.
  • Original discussion: The compatibility detector still converts any unexpected schedule_batch import or struct-contract failure into legacy-identity mode, which can re-enable unsafe mm_hashes forwarding and disable the required normalizer instead of failing startup.
  • Original discussion: The hand-written environment truth parser remains and still violates the repository's enforced canonical-parser check, causing the Rust test job to fail.
  • Original discussion: The publisher still uses setdefault, so a preexisting false value leaves engine-owned identity normalization disabled and drops multimodal cache chains.
  • Original discussion: The publisher still uses setdefault, so a preexisting false value leaves engine-owned identity normalization disabled on a wide-pad SGLang build; its multimodal store suffixes are consequently discarded.
  • Original discussion: The relabel-conflict defect remains: translate_store adds an already-mapped engine ID to dropped, exclude records it, and translate_remove consumes the exclusion before removing the live ids/refs mapping, leaving a stale routed entry after eviction.
  • Original discussion: Verified still present: os.environ.setdefault("DYN_KV_EVENTS_ENGINE_OWNED_MM_IDENTITY", "1") preserves an existing false value such as 0. With an engine-owned-identity SGLang build, the Rust listener then disables routing-label normalization and truncates stores at wide multimodal tokens, so the multimodal block and subsequent cache chain are not indexed. Startup must override the value to enabled or reject the conflicting configuration.
  • Original discussion: Verified still present: sglang_uses_engine_owned_mm_identity() catches every import-time exception and treats a missing __struct_fields__ contract as legacy identity support. On an engine-owned-identity build, an unrelated import or type-contract failure can therefore silently re-enable caller mm_hashes and leave KV-event normalization in legacy mode instead of failing initialization.

Frontend multimodal feature hashes are 64 hex characters, while request-side routing deliberately derives its u64 identity from the first 16 characters. Parsing the entire forwarded label as u64 therefore overflows for normal requests, drops every span, and causes the wide-token block and following chain to be excluded, so Stage 2 silently degrades to text-prefix routing. Parse and validate the same 16-character prefix used by the request-side routing code.

🤖 AI Fix

Parse the label's first 16 hex characters into u64, reject labels without a valid 16-character hex prefix, and add coverage with a normal 64-character frontend hash.

let mut mm_objects: Vec<BlockMmObjectInfo> = Vec::new();

The supported frontends forward opaque/64-character multimodal hashes unchanged (including Dynamo's {hash:016x} plus 48-zero marker), but parsing the entire label as a u64 overflows for normal nonzero values. The span is then discarded, so its wide tokens are classified as unmapped and the multimodal block and descendants are excluded, silently defeating routing-label support. Derive the label hash with the same hash_mm_identifier mapping used by request-side routing instead of parsing the whole string as a 64-bit integer.

🤖 AI Fix

Replace whole-string u64::from_str_radix parsing with the established request-side hash_mm_identifier(&label) mapping and retain fail-closed handling only for labels that mapping rejects.

This counterexample manually constructs placements with the obsolete engine IDs and bypasses the decoder and ZmqEventNormalizer, so it stays green even if the new identity translation regresses to keeping those IDs. alias_across_workers_leaves_no_stale_entries already drives the same two-worker alias/store/eviction sequence through the production normalizer and verifies the supported no-stale-entry outcome in both retained indexes.

🤖 AI Fix

Delete keeping_engine_ids_for_aliases_goes_stale and its now-unused ExternalSequenceBlockHash import, retaining alias_across_workers_leaves_no_stale_entries as the regression test.

sgl-project/sglang#43043 derives multimodal pad values from SGLang's own
item identity (four 62-bit values per item), and Kimi rejects caller
mm_hashes. That breaks Dynamo's SGLang multimodal routing in three ways:
- Kimi requests fail.
- KV event batches with wide token ids fail to decode, so whole batches
  are dropped, including text stores and removals.
- Request and event routing keys no longer match.

Contain all three without an SGLang change:
- Stop forwarding mm_hashes to wide-pad SGLang builds.
- Decode event token ids as u64 and classify tokens >= 1,000,000 as
  multimodal on wide-pad sources.
- Exclude multimodal blocks and their descendants. Text-prefix stores,
  removals and clears still apply, so multimodal requests route on
  their text prefix.

Also make an empty removal a no-op in the concurrent radix tree, even
for a worker it has not seen: a store that is dropped entirely is
published as one so event ids stay contiguous.

- Classify Eagle blocks over the window conversion hashes: the block
  plus the next block's first token. Keep the overlap token the last
  surviving block needs. Both flag states use the same windows.
- Track exclusions for every source. Values that did not fit in u32 are
  excluded with their descendants and removals even without the flag;
  the flag additionally excludes every value at or above 1,000,000.
- Carry the engine-owned capability per source instead of through a
  process environment variable: KvEventPublisher(engine_owned_mm_identity)
  for the worker relay, and the standalone indexer's register API,
  --workers flag and selection-service worker records.
- Treat empty removals as no-ops in the positional indexer too.
- Catch only ImportError when probing SGLang, and read the struct field
  directly.
- Test Eagle boundaries in both flag states, exclusion scoping by worker,
  DP rank and tier, legacy pads, and the per-source flag in the
  publisher, registry and selection service.

…abel spans

With sgl-project/sglang#45737, SGLang accepts per-item routing labels
and reports them as block-relative spans on its KV events. Use them to
route multimodal requests again:
- Forward the frontend's per-item hashes as mm_routing_labels.
- Rewrite SGLang's mm_routing_spans to Dynamo routing tokens.
- Publish multimodal chains under Dynamo-owned block ids, tracked in a
  reference-counted id map, so a label shared by two images cannot leave
  stale index entries.

SGLang builds without label support keep excluding multimodal blocks.

An engine id could end up both mapped and excluded: after a relabeled
re-store, after a re-store without spans (SGLang's label registry is
bounded, so a cached block can lose its label), or when a block excluded
while unlabeled is later stored with its label. Removal checked the
exclusion first and skipped the mapping, so the index kept the block
after the engine evicted it, and an excluded parent dropped valid child
stores. Never exclude a mapped id, and clear an exclusion when a block
is mapped.

Also drop a test that built placements by hand instead of going through
the normalizer, and a comment that restated its match arm.

sglang#43043 adds pad_values as a class-level field on MultimodalDataItem
for all processors, but only Kimi-family processors call set_identity to
populate it from engine-owned state. The previous check returned True for
every processor on a post-43043 build, silently disabling mm_hashes for
Qwen and other models and regressing their image/video routing to
text-prefix-only.

Fix sglang_uses_engine_owned_mm_identity to accept the active mm_processor
and check whether it is from the kimi module hierarchy. When no processor
is available (conservative case), the function still returns True to avoid
forwarding hashes the engine may reject. Update supports_external_mm_hashes
and publisher.py to pass the processor from the engine's tokenizer_manager.

Add direct probe tests that cover legacy schema, wide-pad + Kimi, and
wide-pad + non-Kimi (Qwen) to catch future regressions in the detection
logic without relying on mocked results.

The unlabeled_image_is_excluded_with_its_descendants test checked that
the normalizer filters excluded blocks from removal events, but did not
apply the eviction to the indexes or assert the text-prefix block was
removed from both tree structures. A regression in translate_remove
would pass the existing assertion while leaving a stale entry.

Apply the eviction event to both indexes and assert the score reaches
zero after the text-prefix block is removed.
