Port caller-owned serving workspaces and DS4.1 API contracts to Karmic Kraken

[voipmonitor]

What this provides

Port caller-owned serving workspaces and model API contracts to Karmic Kraken.
Keep target and draft reservations independent, release consumed graph activations,
reuse MHC preparation outputs, and size DS4 attention scratch from its declarations.
GLM sequential target/MTP layers share temporary indexer storage, while recurrent
state and weights remain independent. Token-local vision projections use bounded
chunks without partitioning image attention or changing dtype.

Also preserve DS4.1 tool namespaces/reminder messages, initialize MXFP8 DFlash
projections through the generic ModelOpt API, register native sampler warmup, and
reject missing GLM selection resources before recurrent state can change.

No checkpoint, quantization or sampling distribution is changed. B12X still binds
fresh caller-owned views; no workspace arena is introduced.

Validation

Status: qualified bounded component and composed serving checks.

• Native workspace, attention, GDN, projection, vision and collective checks:
  333 pass; three single-GPU skips subsequently pass with four GPUs.
• Tool/tokenizer suites: 213 pass. Both namespace/recurrent-state review findings
  have failing controls before their corrections.
• DFlash generic ModelOpt adaptation: 34 tests pass; installed-wheel DFlash
  text/vision and CPU/disk restart recovery pass.
• GLM shared indexer storage: 70 indexer and 11 ownership/graph cases pass.
  Vision: 30 focused tests and bit-identical 32,000-patch encoder output.
  Bounded vision projection peak falls from 662,164,480 to 221,254,656 bytes
  per rank in the recorded TP2 probe.
• The seven-PR composition reproduces the tested TP2 production source exactly.
  Remote Max-Q checks establish functionality only, not throughput.

Recorded stock RTX PRO 6000 WS TP4/MTP3/B12X-KDA: 32K prefill 15,586 tok/s,
C1 255.82 tok/s. The complete Spark TP2 stack measures 10,919 prefill,
186.48 C1 and 403.15 aggregate C4 tok/s at batch3072/four slots. These are
composed configurations, not isolated gains from this PR. Smaller repeated
DFlash C8 and Qwen throughput deficits in the six-model comparison remain open;
whole-matrix performance parity is not claimed.

Attribution and scope

Original authors/coauthors and source references are retained. Collective lookup
retains neolithic5452/Neo attribution; the DS4.1 encoder follows DeepSeek's
published contract. Related JJ PRs (#780/#782/#784–#787/#791/#739) remain JJ
backports, not additional KK merge requirements. The separate KK lifetime,
scale-loading and capacity PRs are listed in the integration issue.

OpenAI Codex assisted with the port and tests. Maintainer review is required.
The target is dev/karmic-kraken; no serving change is merged there by this PR
submission. Detailed test cases remain in the changed test files and their
attributed commits.

Lane-aware workspace reservation and graph resources vllm/utils/b12x.py, vllm/model_executor/warmup/..., vllm/v1/worker/..., vllm/models/deepseek_v4_1/..., tests/v1/...	Preparation units and workspace reservations now track model lanes. Graph capture retains scratch buffers and uses explicit outputs.
Execution and sampling validation tests/model_executor/..., tests/v1/sample/..., tests/models/...	Tests cover output reuse, linear packing, sampler warmup, workspace behavior, and physical-selection state.

B12X PCIe plan lookup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Indexed plan resolution and benchmark vllm/distributed/device_communicators/b12x_pcie_all_reduce.py, benchmarks/benchmark_b12x_plan_lookup.py	Declared plans are indexed by operation and tensor metadata. The benchmark measures hit and miss lookup timings.
Lookup validation tests/distributed/test_b12x_pcie_all_reduce.py	Tests cover fused identity, shape and stride matching, declaration precedence, misses, and index cleanup.

DeepSeek V4.1 tool namespaces

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Namespace normalization and integration vllm/utils/tool_names.py, vllm/entrypoints/openai/chat_completion/protocol.py, vllm/tokenizers/deepseek_v41*.py, docs/features/tool_calling.md	Tool namespaces are normalized to qualified function names. Descriptions and conflicts are handled during request validation. DeepSeek V4.1 supports the latest_reminder role and normalized tool calls.
Namespace and tokenizer validation tests/entrypoints/openai/test_tool_calls_serialization.py, tests/parser/engine/test_deepseek_v4.py, tests/tokenizers_/...	Tests cover serialization, descriptions, invalid namespaces, streaming calls, reference encodings, and role validation.

GDN prefill ownership

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Caller-owned GDN buffers vllm/model_executor/layers/mamba/...	GDN staging now stores metadata. Callers allocate activation and output tensors and pass them directly to execution.
GDN replay validation tests/kernels/mamba/test_gdn_prefill_b12x.py	Tests cover sequence-based staging memory, variable rows, fixed capacity, and input immutability.

Quantization and indexer updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
DFlash quantization ownership vllm/model_executor/models/qwen3_dflash.py, tests/v1/spec_decode/test_dflash2.py	DFlash uses static ModelOpt MXFP8 specifications and a separate fused K/V quantization method.
GLM physical selection state vllm/models/glm5next/nvidia/pooled_indexer.py, tests/models/test_glm5next_pooled_indexer.py	Physical selection plans are initialized and cleared with cache binding changes, and missing plans raise an error.

🟠 Major · Check the physical-selection plan before updating recurrent state. · pooled_indexer.py:571-714

vllm/models/glm5next/nvidia/pooled_indexer.py:571-714
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Check the physical-selection plan before updating recurrent state.

If _physical_selection_plan is None, forward calls update_decode_pools before the guard. _decode_update_kernel writes the request tail and completed pools to the index cache before the guard raises. A failed call can therefore leave state that a retry or subsequent request consumes.

Move the missing-plan check into the pure-decode physical-selection path before update_decode_pools. The normal preparation lifecycle assigns the plan before execution, but this guard must not report a missing plan after mutating recurrent state.

The out-of-diff selector finding is also confirmed. Minimal forward-path tests show cache-update dispatch before rejection when the main cache is absent or the physical-selection plan is undeclared. Commit 171c5b2 moves both guards before recurrent writes without changing the supported-path arithmetic or adding checks. Both negative tests pass, and all 67 pooled-indexer GPU tests pass on stock SM120, including graph replay and prepared selection. The fixes are published only to this PR and KK integration; dev/karmic-kraken remains unchanged.

[voipmonitor]

Rebased the integration and review branch onto cdea822 (GLM KDA concurrent scratch fix), including 6544695 (DS4.1 Spark launcher defaults). Head: 9872cfe. All 21 integration patches have identical patch content in range-diff; attribution is preserved, and the result exactly matches the independently computed combined Git tree. Development branch unchanged.

Native check on a stock RTX PRO 6000 WS / CUDA 13.4.1 / Torch 2.14: the installed 171c code fails the scratch-address disjointness regression; the inherited KDA fix passes all 25 KDA/workspace tests, including locked capacity and repeated graph replay. Source-built GLM MTP3/DFlash2 serving qualification follows the wheel build; existing serving receipts remain tied to their original image versions.

🟡 Minor · Normalize iterable messages before processing tool calls. · protocol.py:559

vllm/entrypoints/openai/chat_completion/protocol.py:559
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Normalize iterable messages before processing tool calls.

ChatCompletionRequest.messages is declared as list[ChatCompletionMessageParam], and Pydantic accepts tuples for list fields. A tuple therefore returns before _normalize_messages_before calls normalize_tool_namespace. Pydantic then validates the message union without the namespace folded into function.name, so a historical inventory::lookup call can lose its qualified identity and serialize as lookup.

Materialize eligible message iterables before copying and normalizing them. Add a tuple-based history regression test.

Confirmed with the installed wheel: a tuple message history leaves the tool
name as lookup instead of inventory::lookup before serialization. List
histories already preserve it.

Commit 74c24093cde normalizes both list and tuple histories before union
validation, without mutating the caller's message dictionaries. The regression
checks the in-memory request as well as repeated serialization and JSON
round-trip. The complete tool-call serialization suite passes: 72 tests;
all applicable pre-commit hooks pass. JSON API behavior and model execution
are unchanged.
