CI went fully green at 63c943bac

Run 31062593296 — 15/15 SUCCESS, with only the ROCm lane failing (see the caveat below).

Stage	Result
stage-a-cpu ×4, stage-b-cpu	SUCCESS
stage-b-2-gpu-h200, stage-c-2-gpu-h200 ×2	SUCCESS
stage-c-4-gpu-h200 ×3	SUCCESS
stage-c-8-gpu-h100 ×2, stage-c-8-gpu-h200 ×2	SUCCESS
stage-c-4-gpu-mi300x ×2	FAILURE — not caused by this PR, see below

The bypass-fastfail label is on, so each shard runs every test rather than stopping at the first failure. A shard reporting SUCCESS therefore means every test in it passed.

The three long-running failures this closes

• test_qwen3_4B_offload_disk — failed deterministically 4× at ~43s. Cause: nothing cleaned up accelerator memory between CI test files. The sglang scheduler is a grandchild of the test process, so per-test teardown never reached it, and the workflow's pkill only runs once at job start. The CUDA suite runner now reaps between files. Two earlier explanations were refuted by evidence and dropped: disk exhaustion (zero ENOSPC/No space left hits across two runs) and stale dependency pins (a 4th failure reproduced on freshly pinned sglang).
• test_qwen3_4B_disk_delta — Weight version mismatch! Engine: default, Updater: 0, reproduced on two separate rounds. Only rank 0 publishes the engine weight version in _capture_baseline, while the ci_test check runs on every rank with no synchronisation between them. The broadcast and p2p paths already close with dist.barrier(group=get_gloo_group()); the delta path did not. Added.
• test_deepseek_v4_flash_4layer_ci — all four ranks died together inside wake_up with connection error code 2, 119/139 GB of device memory still free, i.e. host-RAM pressure rather than anything in this branch. Not reproduced on the rerun.

Also fixed here

• The sglang launch command is now rendered through the parser's own argparse actions instead of hand-spelled option strings, which fixes --no- flags, JSON-typed fields, and fields whose flag differs from their dest. The dict input is kept deliberately: ServerArgs.__post_init__ is not idempotent (DP attention divides chunked_prefill_size by dp_size on every run), so rendering from an already-post-inited instance breaks the roundtrip assertion when sglang_dp_size > 1.
• A disposed rollout cell now unregisters from the router based on whether it actually registered, not on which state it is in. Both registration sites await add_worker before the state advances, so a cell can own a live router entry while still initializing or pending weights — and, in the other direction, can reach either state having never registered at all.
• Around 20 tests the base left stale, two infinite hangs, and an examples/ breakage that would have failed with unrecognized arguments.

Caveat: the ROCm lane is failing for a reason outside this PR

stage-c-4-gpu-mi300x fails with ValueError: Unknown suite stage-c-4-gpu-mi300x for backend ROCM.

pr-test-rocm.yml is a pull_request_target workflow, so its definition comes from main, where tests/ci/run_suite.py registers stage-c-4-gpu-mi300x. This PR's base branch does not have that registration yet, so any PR based on it fails this lane identically. On main the mi300x support is a whole feature — the amd label, suite="stage-c-4-gpu-mi300x" on nine e2e files, and an assertion in test_run_suite.py — so pulling it into this stack just to turn the lane green would be the wrong move. Left as is, per @fzyzcjy.

Verification beyond CI

The full tests/fast suite was also run on a separate CPU devbox: 6989 passed, with two failures that are environment-only and pass in CI — the baked sglang in the image predates gated_launch_port, and the router --help subprocess takes 10.05s against its own timeout=10. That run is what caught the dispose regression above before CI did.

Heads-up: no checks are being created for this PR right now

Actions is not creating any workflow run for this PR — not PR Test, not PR Test (ROCm), not pre-commit. GET /actions/runs?head_sha=<head> returns total_count: 0 for the last two pushes. Other PRs in this repo are getting runs normally in the same window, so this is specific to #2196.

Cause. Run 31108219821 is stuck: it reports status: queued while every job in its latest attempt is already completed. It got there because I re-ran its jobs repeatedly while the GPU fleet had no free runners with the requested labels, and one of those re-runs was never actually queued:

POST /actions/runs/31108219821/cancel       → 409 Cannot cancel a workflow re-run that has not yet queued
POST /actions/runs/31108219821/force-cancel → 409 (same)
POST /actions/runs/31108219821/rerun        → 403 This workflow is already running

What I tried, all with no effect: rerun --failed, rerun --job, full rerun, gh run cancel, the REST cancel and force-cancel endpoints, cycling a label (labeled is one of the trigger types), pushing an empty commit, pushing a real commit, and close/reopen.

What unblocks it: cancelling or deleting that run from the web UI, or waiting for GitHub to expire it (queued runs age out after about 24h).

The lesson, for the record: a job that no runner picks up reports cancelled with an empty runner_name and zero steps. That is capacity, not a test failure, and re-running it does not conjure a runner — it only risks wedging the run. Both facts are now written down in docs/ci/00-stage.md.

Where the branch actually stands

Verified at 1c4fc1ada (the two commits after it are a poke and a docs note):

Scope	Result
Full tests/fast on a CPU devbox	6996 passed; 2 environment-only failures that pass in CI
CI CPU	stage-a-cpu (0)(1)(2)(3), stage-b-cpu — all SUCCESS
CI GPU	stage-b-2-gpu-h200, stage-c-2-gpu-h200 (0)(1), stage-c-8-gpu-h200 (0)(1), stage-c-8-gpu-h100 (1), stage-c-4-gpu-h200 (2) — all SUCCESS

Still unverified, all from the interrupted round:

• stage-c-8-gpu-h100 (0) — 8 of its 9 files passed; tests/e2e/short/test_dumper.py failed with No engines/engine_* subdirs. I ruled out this PR's dumper_utils change by reading retry_until_deadline (it does not sleep before the first attempt) and confirming the log shows zero retries, which makes the new code byte-identical in behaviour to the old single call. Why a dumper that configured successfully produced no dumps is still unexplained and needs a reproduction.
• stage-c-4-gpu-h200 (0) and (1) — cancelled mid-run, not test failures.
• stage-c-4-gpu-mi300x (0)(1) — fails for a reason outside this PR, see the previous comment and the new note in docs/ci/00-stage.md.

One thing worth a decision: abs(train/ppo_kl) < 1e-9 in miles/backends/training_utils/ci_utils.py is a marginal tolerance, not a property of this change. test_qwen3_4B_disk_delta produced 0.0, then -1.374e-9 (over the bound, failed), then 2.841e-10 across three rounds — it was never deterministically zero. Loosening it would weaken a check this PR does not own, so I left it alone.

CI green on dea17123a

Every stage passes except the two ROCm ones, which fail for a reason unrelated to this branch (the base's stage list predates the current ROCm lane) and are being ignored by agreement.

Stage	Result
stage-a-cpu (0)(1)(2)(3)	SUCCESS
stage-b-cpu	SUCCESS
stage-b-2-gpu-h200	SUCCESS
stage-c-2-gpu-h200 (0)(1)	SUCCESS
stage-c-4-gpu-h200 (0)(1)(2)	SUCCESS
stage-c-8-gpu-h100 (0)(1)	SUCCESS
stage-c-8-gpu-h200 (0)(1)	SUCCESS
stage-c-4-gpu-mi300x (0)(1)	FAILURE — unrelated, exempt

A full tests/fast run on a devbox is green as well: 7065 passed, 20 skipped, 6 xfailed, 0 failed, 0 errors (39m34s, h200-sci-k8s).

Two flakes worth naming

• stage-c-4-gpu-h200 (0) test_r3_baseline.py needed three attempts; (1) test_int4_rollout.py needed two. Both died the same way: a trainer worker vanished with SYSTEM_ERROR ... connection error code 2. End of file, with no CUDA OOM traceback. That config runs a 30B MoE on 4 GPUs with --colocate --optimizer-cpu-offload, so a host OOM-kill fits better than a CUDA one. The e2e itself is untouched by this branch apart from a mechanical rename, and the seed logic is identical to the commit these stages passed on, so this is a margin problem rather than a regression — but 1-pass-in-3 is not a clean flake signal. If it keeps failing on main, the first thing to check is whether this stack raised peak memory on the colocate path.
• test_deepseekv4's TITO threshold (13/64 = 0.203 > 0.2) failed on an earlier commit and passes now. That ratio is decided by generated text, and this branch had left sglang's random_seed unset, so it was redrawn every launch and sat right on the line. The seed is derived from --seed again, so the ratio is deterministic now. If it starts drifting again, that means the seed stopped reaching the engines.

Weakening audit

Per the review agreement, subagents audited the whole deliver-1-base..HEAD diff (production code, tests, and everything outside miles/) for behaviour or tests that got weaker. Fourteen real weakenings were found and fixed, plus three tests that had been rewritten to assert the weakened behaviour. The most consequential:

• --use-fault-tolerance alone no longer healed anything: the health checkers only publish a status, and the only thing that acts on it needed --mini-ft-controller-enable and a non-zero --api-server-port, both off by default, while sixteen launch scripts pass neither. It now drives the cell registry in-process and follows --ft-components.
• A pinned port that someone else already held was no longer refused, so the new process would fail to bind and die while whoever waited for the port connected to the stale occupant instead.
• The sglang engine seed was commented out with no way to put it back, so --seed stopped reaching the engines.
• Multi-LoRA on an Inkling checkpoint silently widened the adapter to every compatible module.
• Dumper mode stopped silencing the heartbeats it says it silences (ft_components is resolved before the override runs).
• --rollout-external raised NotImplementedError; it works again, and so does pinning the router port.

A second, adversarial pass over those fixes found four bugs in the fixes themselves — the worst being that the restored seed keyed off the node-local GPU id, which gives every engine of a one-engine-per-node fleet the same seed. All four are fixed.

Seven rollout test modules had decayed into pytest.skip husks kept parseable by a noqa for symbols that no longer exist. Their 61 tests were mapped against the current suite; the uncovered guarantees are covered by new tests and the husks are gone. RolloutServer's three fan-outs had no behavioural test at all, which is how the needs_offload filter, the tags pass-through, and the reach across every cell could each have been dropped silently.

Before merge

15ac046ba is an empty poke commit from unwedging a stuck CI run; worth squashing out.

🤖 Posted autonomously by Codex acting on the user's behalf. I diagnosed the current CI failures, committed the validated fixes, and pushed a new CI run. Please push back if any conclusion is off.

The previous head 7bbce621ad failed two CPU tests: the server-argument round-trip failed on a missing disaggregation_mode baseline value in stage-a-cpu shard 3, and the PPO terminal-reward test aborted in stage-a-cpu shard 1. The first failure and the earlier missing wt parameterization are fixed by 3cd6376e0b; the full stage-a-cpu suite passed in the matching remote CPU environment before this commit was pushed.

The ROCm failures are independent base drift: both shard 0 and shard 1 request stage-c-4-gpu-mi300x, while this old PR base still registers the pre-rename ROCm suite names. I am treating those as pre-existing for this delivery branch and will track the new commit through the CPU and H100/H200 lanes on the PR checks page.

🤖 Posted autonomously by Codex acting on the user's behalf. I inspected this GPU job's complete log and classified the failure. Please push back if any conclusion is off.\n\nstage-c-8-gpu-h200 (1) failed while generating an SGLang launch command for . The root fingerprint is in , the same raw-versus-normalized renderer bug seen in the sibling H200 lane. I am adding a renderer regression fix as a follow-up commit.

CI status for head ece8ee7:

• 21 checks have passed, including pre-commit, all CPU shards, both 8-GPU H200 shards, all 4-GPU H200 shards, both 2-GPU H200 shards, and H100 shard 0.
• H100 shard 1 failed on tests/e2e/short/test_qwen2.5_0.5B_gsm8k_short.py after the 1800-second timeout. The original attempt and the failed-job rerun both hit the same startup failure: a Ray CommandActor running SGLang could not bind the torch.distributed TCPStore port (EADDRINUSE; port 15108 in the rerun).
• The two MI300X shards are still queued.

I am treating the repeated H100 failure as a deterministic port-allocation/startup bug rather than a flake. I will reproduce and validate the fix on a tom-remote GPU devbox before pushing a new head and rerunning CI.

CI status summary for head 0b14d5f94d06fcac55e04c4c18ca367260186df6:

Branch-related failure and fix

• The reproducible failure was stage-c-8-gpu-h100 (1): two runs failed because Miles allocated dynamic service ports inside Ray's default worker-port range (10002-19999). The observed collisions were 15210 (SGLang bind) and 15108 (TCPStore bind).
• Commit 0b14d5f94d moves the Miles dynamic-port start from 15000 to 20000, immediately above Ray's worker range and below the Linux ephemeral-port range.
• Validation of this fix:
  • targeted allocator tests: 5/5 passed;
  • the exact previously failing 8-GPU E2E passed once, then passed three additional consecutive stability runs (4/4 total) on an 8xH200 devbox;
  • full pre-commit run --all-files passed;
  • both 8-GPU H100 CI shards now pass.

Remaining red H200 check

• The only red check is stage-c-4-gpu-h200 (2).
• Attempt 1 failed late in test_qwen3_30B_A3B/test_baseline.py, after rollout 0, training, and weight update had completed. Several Ray actors disappeared nearly simultaneously with SYSTEM_ERROR/EOF and no Python or CUDA traceback. The exact same shard passed on the preceding head (ece8ee, job 93758246522), whose only relevant delta from this head is the port-range fix. This is consistent with a transient runner/node failure, not the port change.
• Attempts 2, 3, and 4 did not reproduce that failure. Instead, six independent tests failed immediately at W&B initialization with wandb: ERROR user is not logged in. Attempt 1 had successfully authenticated the same CI identity earlier. These retries therefore fail on the repository WANDB_API_KEY/external W&B authentication path before exercising the affected code.
• Repeated immediate reruns were stopped to avoid wasting H200 capacity until the repository W&B credential is repaired.

Current rollup

• Passed: pre-commit, image/build setup, all CPU shards, both H100 8-GPU shards, all other H200 shards, and both MI300X shards.
• Skipped as expected: approve-held-runs and Mintlify.
• Red only because of the H200 infrastructure/authentication history described above.

From a code-regression perspective, I consider this head fully validated: every branch-attributable failure has been fixed and the relevant test has passed repeatedly. GitHub is not literally all-green because stage-c-4-gpu-h200 (2) remains recorded as failed; clearing that check requires restoring the W&B CI credential and rerunning the shard, or treating the documented failure as infrastructure.
