🔴 Important: The gate asks for one slot, but a batched PD plan claims sub_requests of them.
Five lines below, sub_requests is requests.len() for ExecutionPlan::Batch and LoadGuards::scaled increments the decode worker's load once per sub-request. execute_batch_dispatch then fans out one execute_pd_dispatch per sub-request (ExecutionPlanKind::PrefillDecode | EncodePrefillDecode at line 336), so a completion with n=64 against a pair whose decode reports max_num_seqs=16 posts 64 bootstrap rooms after a gate that only checked whether one was free — which is exactly the over-window burst this PR exists to prevent, just sourced from a single client request instead of 64.
execution_plan is already in scope here, so the count is available before the gate:
let sub_requests = match &execution_plan {
ExecutionPlan::Batch { requests, .. } => requests.len(),
_ => 1,
};
if let Some(decode) = workers.decode_worker() {
if let Some(shed) = pd_admission::admit_decode(decode.as_ref(), &ctx.model_id, sub_requests).await {
return Err(shed);
}
}with wait_for_slot comparing in_flight + needed <= window (and shedding outright when needed > window, which no wait can ever satisfy).

🟡 Nit: This precedence is the opposite of the one the servicer half of this PR uses.
grpc_servicer/.../tokenspeed/loads.py::running_window reads max_num_seqs first and only falls back to max_running_requests; here max_running_requests wins and max_num_seqs is the fallback. Both functions exist to answer the same question for the same engine, so on a TokenSpeed worker whose server_args happens to carry both spellings the discovery label and the GetLoads report would disagree — and the PD gate would take the larger, non-authoritative one, quietly making itself a no-op.
The Python side clearly anticipates both being present (otherwise the or chain is dead code); if that's real, TokenSpeed's authoritative window is max_num_seqs and this fallback order gets it wrong. If it isn't real, the or chain in running_window is the thing to drop. Either way the two should agree.

🟡 Nit: On the EPD path this wait pins encode SHM.
encode_dispatch is taken 30 lines up and, per its own comment, carries the encode jobs' SHM Drop guards. Placing the gate after that take means an EPD dispatch that finds the decode window full holds its encode buffers for the whole pd_admission_wait_secs (30 s by default) and then, if it sheds, throws away completed encode work. Under the burst this gate targets, that is N × encode-SHM held for 30 s — a second scarce resource queued behind the decode window.
Moving the gate above the ctx.encode_outputs.take() at the top of the function would make the shed cheap and keep the SHM unclaimed while waiting; the gate needs only ctx.workers and ctx.model_id, so it doesn't depend on anything between.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 4 included reviews per hour; 2 remain after this review.
The gateway mints one bootstrap room per disaggregated request and dispatches both legs with tokio::join!. SGLang-lineage engines arm a bootstrap deadline on the prefill the moment it lands (120s on TokenSpeed) that clears only once the decode scheduler has admitted the request, and decode admission is bounded by the engine's running window. A burst wider than that window leaves the prefill deadline racing a queue the gateway built: prefill times out rooms the decode has not reached, and the decode then pre-allocates them and waits out its own 300s transfer deadline for a peer that is gone. Joining both legs withheld the prefill error until that second timeout, held the pair's slot throughout, and short-circuited before the decode's map_err so a decode-side failure was never logged. Seen in CI run 34173426995 (job 101902848341): 14 of 64 requests failed and MMLU took 1392s instead of ~35s. Dispatch now returns the first failure and retires the leg still in flight off the request path, dropping its stream as soon as it lands — the abort path a client disconnect already uses, and the only thing that releases the stranded room before the engine's own deadline. The retired leg's outcome still reaches its circuit breaker and its failure is logged. Before a pair is dispatched, the decode worker's in-flight count is checked against the engine's reported running window; at the window the request waits for a slot, bounded by --pd-admission-wait-secs (default 30, well under the bootstrap deadline), and sheds with the existing overload 503 if none frees. An engine that reports no window is not gated. TokenSpeed spells the window max_num_seqs, so it was never extracted from GetServerInfo and its workers looked like non-reporters to both admission and fleet capacity; both spellings are read now, and the servicer reports the configured window on GetLoads as SGLang already does.

🔴 Important: The shed is marked non-retryable, but the retry layer re-selects a fresh pair — so a full window on one decode worker becomes a hard 503 even when another pair is idle.
overload::shed_pd_admission goes through overload::shed, which calls mark_non_retryable. In pipeline.rs::run_attempt, attempt > 0 starts with self.stages.worker_selection.reselect(dctx)? followed by helpers::restamp_plan_for_attempt (fresh clients, fresh PD rooms) — a retry of a PD dispatch is a retry against a different prefill/decode pair, not a re-poke of the same one. run then hits if !is_retryable_response(&failure) { return Err(failure); } and answers the client.
So on a fleet with several PD pairs, a burst that saturates the pair this request happened to select now returns 503 worker_overload_protection_shed after pd_admission_wait_secs, where before this PR it dispatched (and, for a fleet whose pairs aren't uniformly full, succeeded). That's the failure mode this PR set out to remove, arriving from the other side: the gate converts "queued at a busy engine" into "refused" rather than "sent to a pair that has room".
The justification in shed_pd_admission — "the wait already outlived any backoff a retry would add" — is about the delay a retry contributes, but the value of a retry here is the re-selection, not the backoff. The two vetoes it points at are genuinely terminal in a way this one isn't: BRANCH_ALL_OVERLOADED_SHED fires only when the whole candidate pool is vetoed, and BRANCH_OVERLOADED_AT_DISPATCH covers a window whose own doc calls it "rare".
Letting this one shed stay retryable (skip mark_non_retryable, or take a flag on shed) is what makes the gate pace dispatch instead of dropping requests. Worth noting the interaction if you do: the gate re-runs per attempt from execute_plan, so a retryable shed can pay pd_admission_wait_secs once per attempt — probably wants a shorter wait on retries, or a budget carried on the context, so max_retries × 30 s isn't the new tail latency.

🟡 Nit: Reusing shed hands this branch two things that only make sense for the overload veto.
Retry-After is the wrong number. shed fills it from SHED_RETRY_AFTER_SECS, which app_context.rs latches from config.load_monitor_interval_secs — the load-monitor poll interval, correct for the veto because the flag provably cannot clear faster. A full decode window has nothing to do with that poll; it frees when a request completes. With --load-monitor-interval 60 a PD-admission shed tells clients to wait 60 s; with --pd-admission-wait-secs 0 (shed immediately, per the flag help) it still says 10 s. The new test asserts Retry-After >= 1 and passes off the default 10, so it doesn't pin anything PD-related. pd_admission_wait_secs (or the wait actually spent) is the hint that describes this shed.
The counter double-counts. shed also does Metrics::record_worker_overload_shed(stage), so every PD-admission shed increments both smg_pd_admission_sheds_total and the overload-shed counter under a new pd_admission stage label. Dashboards and alerts that read the overload-shed counter as "the absolute worker-overload guard fired" — which is how this module's header describes itself — now also see PD admission pressure, which is a different signal with a different remedy.
Both fall out of shed being shared rather than of anything wrong here; splitting the Retry-After value and the counter out of shed (or passing them in) keeps the response shape shared without borrowing the veto's semantics. Note also that shed's own doc comment — "the veto clears at the poll interval, which no backoff window outlives" — is no longer accurate for all three callers.
Review of #2466 found the gate read the in-flight count instead of reserving against it, so two dispatches racing for the last room in a window of one both saw it free and both sent — the over-window burst the gate exists to prevent. Admission now claims its rooms on the worker atomically and hands back a guard that releases them; the claim rides in the dispatch's LoadGuards, so it is returned on an early error, a failed leg, a client disconnect, a retry, or completion. The claim counter lives beside the load counter in WorkerRuntime, so a same-URL replacement inherits the rooms the engine still holds. The claim is sized to the plan: a batched completion fans out one PD dispatch per sub-request, so an n=64 request could post 64 bootstrap rooms past a gate that had asked about one. A plan wider than the window sheds at once, since no wait can free more rooms than the window holds. The gate also moves above the encode-output take, so an EPD request waiting on the decode window no longer pins the encode jobs' SHM for the whole wait and discards finished encode work on a shed. Label precedence now matches the servicer: max_num_seqs is authoritative for the engines that use it and is resolved first on both sides, so a worker's discovery label and its GetLoads report cannot disagree.

🔴 Important: Three required trait methods with no default bodies break the other Worker implementor in the workspace.
bindings/golang/src/policy.rs:109 has impl Worker for GrpcWorker (a workspace member, so cargo build/clippy --workspace compiles it), and it does not implement try_admit_pd, release_pd, or pd_admitted — nothing outside worker.rs mentions those names anywhere in the tree. That's E0046: not all trait items implemented for smg-golang.
max_running_requests is why the flip in this same push was safe there — it has a default body, so GrpcWorker inherits it. These three don't.
The FFI worker manages its own counters and never routes PD, so the cheap fix is a default that abstains, matching how the gate already treats a worker with no reported window:
/// Claim `count` PD bootstrap rooms while the worker's claimed total
/// stays within `window`; a refusal claims nothing.
///
/// The PD admission gate reserves through this rather than comparing
/// [`Worker::load`] to the window: a read-then-send lets two dispatches
/// both take the last free slot, which is exactly the over-window burst
/// the gate exists to prevent.
///
/// Workers that never carry a PD leg (the FFI worker in the Go
/// bindings) keep the default, which admits without accounting — the
/// gate is unreachable for them because they report no window.
fn try_admit_pd(&self, _count: usize, _window: usize) -> bool {

/// Release `count` rooms claimed by [`Worker::try_admit_pd`].
fn release_pd(&self, _count: usize) {}
/// Rooms currently claimed on this worker.
fn pd_admitted(&self) -> usize {
0
}The Test Plan's gates were all -p smg, which is why this didn't surface locally; cargo clippy --all-targets --workspace (the checklist's gate at the workspace root) will.

🔴 Important: A completions request with more prompts than the decode window is now permanently unserviceable — and the answer tells the client to retry.
plan_sub_requests counts batch_items, i.e. the entries of a /v1/completions array prompt (regular/stages/completion/request_building.rs:203). So on a pair whose decode reports max_num_seqs=16, a 32-prompt completions request takes this branch on every attempt, and shed_pd_admission → shed → mark_non_retryable makes it terminal: pipeline.rs::run returns the 503 without re-selecting. Before this PR the same request dispatched and generally succeeded (the engine queued the overflow); after it, it is a hard 503 forever, on an idle fleet, and no client retry can ever change the outcome — while Retry-After invites exactly that retry. Batched-prompt completions is how eval harnesses drive /v1/completions, which is the workload in the CI run the PR description cites.
The width check itself is right as a claim property — try_join_all in execute_batch_dispatch really does put all N rooms in flight at once, so N > window can never be satisfied. What makes it a hard failure is that the fan-out is unbounded: the gate has no way to say "take 16 now, 16 after". Bounding the batch to what was claimed is the fix that keeps the guarantee without refusing the request — claim rooms.min(window) and drive execute_batch_dispatch with that as a concurrency limit (futures::stream::iter(..).buffered(claimed) instead of try_join_all), so a wide batch paces itself through the window rather than being rejected.
Two smaller things fall out of the same all-or-nothing claim, worth deciding on even if the fan-out stays unbounded:
- Near-window batches starve. A claim of exactly
windowneeds all N rooms simultaneously free, while single-room claimants racing the sameCLAIM_RETRY_INTERVALtick take rooms the moment they free. On a busy pair a 16-of-16 batch will essentially never assemble its claim and will shed at the deadline, deterministically, no matter how much aggregate capacity is free. - If a request really is unserviceable by this deployment, it isn't an overload. A 503
worker_overload_protection_shedwithRetry-Afterdescribes a transient condition;rooms > windowis a static property of the request against the fleet. A 4xx naming the limit ("32 prompts exceeds the decode window of 16") is both actionable and doesn't get retried by proxies. The doc onshed_pd_admissionalready recognises the two causes need different operator responses — they need different client responses too.

🟡 Nit: The SHM half of this rationale doesn't hold — the buffers are already allocated and held before execute_plan is entered.
EncodeStage builds the plan and stores it on ctx.state.encode_outputs (stages/encode.rs:94), which moves onto the DispatchContext at context.rs:832. So during the admission wait the encode SHM is held by ctx.encode_outputs whether or not the take() below has run; moving the gate above the take changes which binding owns the Drop guard on an early return, not how long the SHM is pinned. (It also isn't finished encode work being discarded — spawn_encode_dispatch runs inside execute_epd_dispatch, after the gate, so a shed throws away a prepared plan, not completed encodes. My earlier note on this was wrong about both.)
The reorder is fine to keep — it reads better and the gate genuinely shouldn't sit between the take and the guards — but the comment claims a benefit a future reader could rely on when reordering again. Trimming it to what's true (admission runs before the attempt claims load guards, so a shed costs nothing) is enough; if pinning encode SHM through a 30 s wait is a real concern, the gate has to move ahead of EncodeStage, not ahead of the take.

🟡 Nit: The claim is process-scoped, so "never post more rooms to a pair than its decode can take" holds per gateway replica, not per pair.
pd_admitted lives on WorkerRuntime (worker/worker.rs:1074), which is per-router-process state. Two or three gateway replicas sharing a worker fleet each admit up to window independently, so a burst spread across them still posts replicas × window rooms and the bootstrap-deadline race the module header describes comes back — quietly, because each replica's own accounting says it stayed inside the window.
That's the same scope the rest of the load accounting already has (load_counter is per-process too), so it's not a new class of problem and I don't think it needs solving here. But the header and try_admit_pd's doc both state the bound unconditionally, and the concurrency tests assert it at process scope, which reads as a stronger guarantee than the code provides. A sentence saying the claim bounds one router's contribution — and that a multi-replica fleet wants pd_admission_wait_secs/window sized with the replica count in mind — would keep an operator from concluding the deadline race is closed when it isn't.

🟡 Nit: The lifecycle this doc promises is the one thing not covered by a test, and a leak here wedges the pair permanently.
The new tests all exercise the claim at unit scope — drop(admission) in pd_admission::tests, try_admit_pd/release_pd directly in worker::tests. What isn't asserted is the link this comment describes: that LoadGuards::Admitted actually reaches the streaming body via helpers::attach_response_guards and survives until the last token, rather than being dropped when DispatchContext goes away at the end of dispatch. Nothing matches on LoadGuards variants, so the compiler can't help; a future change to the response-guard plumbing that drops the wrapper would leak rooms per request and, after window requests, make the pair refuse everything with a 503 that reads as "the engine is full" — silent, permanent, and misattributed to the decode.
request_release_tests already has the machinery for this: register_worker + spawn_stub, and pd_streaming_releases_parsed_request_before_first_token runs a PD completion end to end. Registering the decode with a max_num_seqs label and asserting decode.pd_admitted() == 1 after the first token but == 0 once the stream drains would pin both halves — and the mirror assertion (== 0 after a client disconnect mid-stream) covers the abort path the previous push added.

🔴 Important: Enforce PD admission across gateway replicas
The Helm chart supports multiple gateway pods, and each pod can select the same decode worker. Each process keeps its own WorkerRuntime::pd_admitted counter, so each can claim the full max_running_requests window. This can admit up to R * window rooms and defeat the worker-wide bound. Do not divide the window by a configured replica count. Enforce the reservation at the worker or another shared atomic store; until then, use one gateway replica for PD deployments.

The defaults admit unconditionally and track nothing: the gate only reaches a worker that reports a running window, and an implementation with a shared runtime overrides them with the real claim.

Review of the whole PR after the follow-up, plus the CI fix. Why CI was red. The follow-up added What I verified in the code.
Follow-ups I would not block on, but want tracked.

Conflicts: - bindings/python/src/lib.rs, smg/router_args.py, tests/test_arg_parser.py: main appended `pd_admission_wait_secs` (#2466) where this branch appends `worker_mode`; both are kept, with `worker_mode` staying last so the positional RouterArgs constructor contract holds. - model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/context.rs: main's pd_admission import plus this branch's WorkerMode import. - model_gateway/src/worker/manager.rs: main's Failed -> Ready recovery (#2468) merged with this branch's ProbeOutcome-based readiness machine; the recovery test is expressed in ProbeOutcome terms and the doc lists both sets of transitions.

Description
Problem
In gRPC prefill/decode disaggregation the gateway mints one bootstrap room and
dispatches both legs concurrently with
tokio::join!. SGLang-lineage engines(TokenSpeed, SGLang) arm a bootstrap deadline on the prefill the moment the
request lands — 120s on TokenSpeed — and it clears only once the decode
scheduler has admitted the request and answered with its KV manifest. Decode
admission is bounded by the engine's running window (
--max-num-seqs/--max-running-requests), so a burst wider than that window leaves the prefilldeadline racing a queue the gateway itself created: prefill times out rooms the
decode has not reached, and the decode then pre-allocates those same rooms and
waits out its own 300s transfer deadline for a peer that is already gone.
Two gateway behaviours compound it:
tokio::join!waits for both legs, so the prefill error — ready at T+120s —is withheld until the decode gives up at T+300s. The pair's slot is held for
the whole window, and
prefill_result.map_err(..)?short-circuits before thedecode's
map_err, so a decode-side failure is never logged at all.pair regardless of what the decode can take, so the engine's deadline is
racing a queue the gateway built.
Seen in CI run 34173426995 (job 101902848341): 14 of 64 requests failed and MMLU
took 1392s instead of the usual ~35s.
The engine-side half of this (the decode's own bootstrap accounting) is with the
TokenSpeed maintainers; this PR is the gateway's half.
Solution
Fail fast on a failed leg.
dispatch_pd_legsreplaces the join: it pollsboth legs and returns the first failure immediately. The leg still in flight is
not waited on — it is retired off the request path by
retire_pd_leg, whichdrops its stream the moment the dispatch lands. That drop is the abort path the
router already uses on a client disconnect, and it is what releases the stranded
room instead of leaving it to the engine's deadline. The retired leg's outcome
still reaches its worker's circuit breaker, and a decode-side failure is now
logged either way: in the retire task when it lost the race, and via an eagerly
evaluated
map_errwhen both legs answered. The deferred abort is deliberatelynot applied to a retired leg — deferral exists to protect an in-flight KV
handoff, and the peer that would have written it is the leg that just failed.
The success path is unchanged.
Per-pair admission bounded by the decode window. Before a disaggregated
dispatch claims its load guards,
pd_admission::admit_decodechecks the decodeworker's in-flight count against the engine's reported running window. Under the
window it dispatches with no wait. At the window it waits asynchronously for a
slot, bounded by
--pd-admission-wait-secs(default 30, well under the 120sbootstrap deadline), and sheds with the existing overload response (503,
worker_overload_protection_shed,Retry-After) if none frees. An engine thatreports no window is never gated — that is exactly today's behaviour.
The wait polls the worker's in-flight count every 50ms rather than waiting on a
notifier: the event to signal is a PD load guard dropping, which happens in the
worker layer with no channel back to the router, and a process-wide registry of
per-worker notifiers would carry its own eviction problem for a signal that only
needs resolution far finer than the engine step that frees the slot.
The window comes from the worker's discovery labels, which is where the dispatch
path already holds it. TokenSpeed spells it
max_num_seqsrather thanmax_running_requests, so it was not being extracted at all and every TokenSpeedworker looked like a non-reporter to both PD admission and fleet capacity
accounting; both spellings are now read. The TokenSpeed servicer also left
max_running_requestsat zero on every load report, since the scheduler's loadreply carries no admission bound — it now reports the configured window, matching
what SGLang already sends.

Test Plan
New tests:
routers::common::pd_admission::tests— unknown window never waits or sheds;in-flight below the window admits with no wait; a slot freeing mid-wait admits;
a full window sheds only at the deadline; a zero wait sheds without sleeping;
the shed is the 503
worker_overload_protection_shedwithRetry-After, andis terminal for the retry layer.
request_execution::tests— a failed prefill answers without waiting on adecode leg that never resolves, and the mirror case for a failed decode.
pipeline::request_release_tests::a_failed_prefill_answers_now_and_aborts_the_decode_room— end-to-end over the stubbed TokenSpeed engines: the prefill stub fails
immediately, the decode stub answers only after 2s; the client gets
prefill_worker_failed_to_startin well under that, and the decode stub thenrecords an abort naming the decode leg's own request id.
worker::worker::tests— themax_num_seqsspelling is read, and thecanonical label still wins when both are present.
config::types::tests/main.rstests — serde default and round-trip forpd_admission_wait_secs, and the flag reaching both config paths.grpc_servicer/tests/test_tokenspeed_loads.py— window resolution across bothspellings, absent window reports zero, and the derived counters and window
reach the protobuf.
Gates, all green on this branch:
The Python binding surface was checked against
EXPECTED_FIELD_SEQUENCEand theargparse round-trip directly (
bindings/python/testsneeds the built extension,which CI builds).
Not covered: an over-window burst end to end against real engines — that belongs
in the PD topology suite, where a decode worker can be started with a small
--max-num-seqsand a burst wider than it asserted to shed rather than stall.Checklist
