Purpose

Enable GLM-5.3-Flash's B12X C4 sparse selector to run with decode context parallelism, including MTP speculative decoding and prefix-cache reuse.

The pooled selector now:

  • Computes rank-local C4 pool lengths.
  • Requests candidate scores from B12X.
  • Merges each rank's pool candidates before expanding them to token indices.
  • Sizes the parent page table for DCP-sharded cache blocks.
  • Supplies DCP-local draft attention sequence lengths for non-trivially interleaved MTP.

The sparse MLA adapter accepts pool-aligned DCP configurations and publishes rank-local sequence lengths for the DCP attention merge.

The existing Jovian hybrid-cache coordinator already contains the DCP-aware partial-prefix and Mamba CoW work (0db502c8d, ce0711866), so this PR keeps the scheduler lineage intact and adds the GLM/B12X selector and draft-metadata plumbing required to exercise it.

Validation

Static and focused tests:

  • ruff format --check: passed
  • ruff check: passed
  • git diff --check: passed
  • Focused changed-contract tests: passed
  • Existing DCP hybrid prefix/CoW tests: 6 passed
  • Draft attention metadata tests: 5 passed
  • MTP/DCP configuration tests: 3 passed
  • SM120 C4 metadata/pool-length GPU test: passed

Runtime canaries on 4x RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, TP4:

  • DCP4/MTP0 deterministic canary: healthy, zero restarts
  • DCP4/MTP5/prefix-cache combined canary at commit 65ee12637: healthy on the first boot, zero restarts, no OOM
  • Runtime config: B12X attention/MoE/linear, --decode-context-parallel-size 4, interleave 4, ag_rs, --enable-prefix-caching, MTP 5, FP8 KV, 524,288 max context
  • MTP5 counters after two deterministic chat requests: 140 accepted / 260 drafted tokens (53.8%)
  • Prefix proof using two byte-identical raw completion requests:
    • 30,001 prompt tokens per request
    • first prefill wall time: 4.665s
    • repeated request wall time: 0.610s
    • second request reused 27,648 cached tokens (92.2% of its prompt; 7.65x lower wall time)
  • KV capacity at 0.88 GPU memory utilization with MTP5 loaded: 15,305,176 logical tokens, or 29.19x 524,288-token contexts
  • Earlier DCP4/MTP0 canary at 0.95 utilization reported 21,117,633 logical KV tokens (40.28x 524,288-token contexts)

Human review is required before merge.

Lineage clarification for review:

  • This does not transplant the old dev/i-i hybrid-cache implementation.
  • dev/jovian-judgement already contains the newer upstream DCP partial-prefix support from 0db502c and the Mamba external-hit CoW fix from ce07118.
  • The first commit adds the GLM C4 pooled-selector and B12X DCP plumbing needed to use that existing cache machinery, and removes the GLM-specific prefix gate.
  • The second commit adds DCP-local draft lengths and enables the GLM B12X path for non-trivial-interleave MTP.

Focused unit results are green. The PR remains draft while I finish two runtime gates on the exact 65ee126 image: repeated-prefix reuse at DCP4, then DCP4 + prefix caching + MTP5 with acceptance metrics.

Give the DCP pool-length test an explicit name.

These assertions test rank-local DCP pool lengths. The enclosing test name only describes parent-stride metadata. Extract these assertions into a test such as test_glm53_pool_seq_lens_are_rank_local_with_dcp.
