Correct the log message; it reports "transient" for the persistent path too.
Line 1774 enters this branch for every gathered batch. The persistent prefetch path at Lines 1839-1882 also reaches it, so the message misreports the mode to operators.

_set_kernel_page_size() can run first with the provisional cache_config.block_size and later from bind_kv_cache() with the actual hybrid-manager page size; the test covers a 64 to 2304 transition. This updates _ckv_local_capacity after _ckv_workspace_nbytes, _ckv_workspace_pool, prefetch-depth budgeting, and _pretouch_attention_workspace() were fixed in __init__. With DCP4, max_seqs=32, and interleave 4, 64 to 2304 grows capacity from 131200 to 131328 tokens. Depth-1 views then need 624070656 bytes while the pool remains 623462400 bytes, so gathered-buffer slot 1 fails its narrow(). Finalize the actual page geometry before allocation and KV profiling, or rebuild and re-reserve all derived state atomically on replan. The test should cover gathering enabled with a changed page size.

VLLM_B12X_MLA_SPEC_EXTEND_AS_DECODE defaults to off, so MTP verification with q > 1 still selects the extend plan unless an external override is supplied. The routing unit test bypasses this default by passing spec_extend_as_decode=True, and the current-head runtime report records MTP5 but not this environment value. Either restore auto as the default and qualify that path, or document the route as opt-in and provide enabled-path runtime evidence. As written, the stated MTP decode routing is not the default behavior.

VLLM_B12X_MLA_CKV_PREFETCH_DEPTH defaults to 1, but the posted stock-clock result says depth 1 consumed 1190.3 MiB for two lanes, produced noise-level gain, and concludes that depth 0 remains the deployment default. Enabling CKV gather without also setting this variable therefore selects the configuration that the qualification recommends against. Default this to 0 unless newer evidence justifies 1, or update the stated deployment recommendation.

The CKV gather architecture looks sound: gathering DCP-sharded C4 records gives each local query head a full CKV view without query replication and LSE reduction, and the side-stream, event, and ring-slot ownership looked coherent.
One allocation-lifecycle issue should be fixed before merge: binding the actual hybrid page geometry replans capacity after the persistent CKV workspace and B12X scratch were sized, which can make the second depth-1 ring view exceed its leased slot. I also left comments on MTP decode routing being off by default and the depth-1 code default conflicting with the posted depth-0 deployment recommendation.

Purpose
Cleanly harvest the relevant CKV/DCP work from the retired
dev/i-iexperiments onto currentdev/jovian-judgement. This makes GLM5Next B12X use the full C4 compressed-KV view for DCP prefill, keeps decode queries local when that full cache is present, overlaps the per-layer gathers, sizes scratch buffers from the parallel configuration, and routes MTP verification through the B12X decode path.The follow-up is intentionally limited to CKV/DCP/MTP correctness and the associated overlap. It does not claim to resolve the separate upstream Jovian/B12X prefill regression.
