+name: env-var-conventions
+description: Add, read, rename, or remove an environment variable in FastVideo, or change the environment-variable policy. Use before touching fastvideo/envs.py, os.environ, os.getenv, or monkeypatch.setenv in fastvideo/, and when fastvideo/tests/contract/test_env_policy.py fails.
+---
+
+# Environment Variable Conventions
+
+## Purpose
+
+FastVideo registers its environment variables as typed fields in
+`fastvideo/envs.py`. The policy that governs them is
+`docs/contributing/env_vars.md`, and the contract test
+`fastvideo/tests/contract/test_env_policy.py` enforces the policy in the unit
+CI lane. This skill routes an environment-variable change through that policy.
+The policy doc is the single source of the rules; read it instead of relying
+on a summary here.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Read `docs/contributing/env_vars.md` in full.
+- Decide whether the setting belongs in an environment variable or an argument
+  (rule 5 in the policy doc). Settings that users change per deployment are
+  arguments; add them through `fastvideo/fastvideo_args.py` instead.
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Parameter  | Required | Description                                                    |
+| ---------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `change`   | Yes      | Add, read, rename, or remove a variable, or change the policy. |
+| `variable` | Yes      | The variable name, with the `FASTVIDEO_` prefix.               |
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Declare or edit the variable in `fastvideo/envs.py`.**
+   - Pick the field type and category that the policy doc lists.
+   - Write a description that states what the variable does and its units.
+   - To rename, keep the old name in `deprecated_names`. To remove, add the
+     name to `DEPRECATED_VARIABLES`. Update the uses in `examples/`,
+     `scripts/`, `docs/`, `apps/`, and the tests.
+2. **Read the variable with `envs.NAME.get()` inside a function.**
+   - In tests, change the value with `envs.NAME.override(value)`.
+   - Do not call `os.environ`, `os.getenv`, or `monkeypatch.setenv` for a
+     FastVideo variable.
+   - To set a variable that another tool reads, call `envs.set_external`,
+     `envs.setdefault_external`, or `envs.unset_external`.
+3. **Regenerate the table in the policy doc.**
+   - Run `python fastvideo/tests/contract/test_env_policy.py`.
+4. **Run the contract test.**
+   - Run `pytest fastvideo/tests/contract/test_env_policy.py`.
+   - When the test reports a fixed known violation, delete or lower its entry
+     in `KNOWN_VIOLATIONS`. Never add an entry to `KNOWN_VIOLATIONS`.
+5. **When the policy itself changes, update the policy doc and the contract
+   test in the same pull request.**
+   - The rules in `docs/contributing/env_vars.md`, the checks and allowlist in
+     `fastvideo/tests/contract/test_env_policy.py`, and this skill must agree.
+
+## Outputs
+
+- A registry entry in `fastvideo/envs.py` and call sites that use
+  `envs.NAME.get()`.
+- A regenerated table in `docs/contributing/env_vars.md`.
+- A passing `fastvideo/tests/contract/test_env_policy.py`.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```
+Add a FASTVIDEO_DEBUG_MY_STAGE switch that logs MyStage inputs.
+```
+
+## References
+
+- `docs/contributing/env_vars.md`: the policy, the field types, and the
+  violation kinds that the contract test reports.
+- `fastvideo/envs.py`: the registry.
+- `fastvideo/tests/contract/test_env_policy.py`: the contract test,
+  `EXTERNAL_ALLOWLIST`, and `KNOWN_VIOLATIONS`.

 VSA is included in the `fastvideo-kernel` package. See the [main Attention page](../index.md) for build instructions.

+## Apple Silicon (MiniMax H3 / FastH3)
+
+The native MLX runtime has an inference-only H3 VSA path that is separate from
+the CUDA `fastvideo-kernel` package:
+
+- **INT8 / INT6 / INT4** are **weight-only**. They cover linear matrices,
+  including `attn.to_gate_compress` when you convert with `--include-vsa`.
+  Attention Q/K/V stay BF16 (or the selected activation dtype). There is no
+  INT6 Q/K/V attention kernel.
+- **Dense-only checkpoints** (the default converter) drop the 50 gate
+  matrices and keep fused SDPA. They remain valid for dense inference.
+- **VSA-capable checkpoints** retain those gates, quantize them on the same
+  affine grid, and record `vsa.capable` in `mlx_h3_dit.json`. Preview leaves
+  runtime VSA off until you pass `--vsa`. `mlx_fasth3_8step.py` turns it on.
+- **Tile sizes** 64 `(4, 4, 4)` and 256 `(4, 8, 8)`. Prefix keys can be
+  `exempt` or `compete`. `--vsa-dense-first-n-steps` and `--vsa-dense-layers`
+  force dense SDPA on the selected steps or blocks.
+- **`--vsa-impl auto`** uses the chunked gather+SDPA **reference** path.
+  `--vsa-impl simd` runs the SIMD-group Metal kernel (tile 64, head dim 128)
+  and falls back to reference on unsupported shapes or kernel failure. The
+  runtime executes a small kernel probe before use and remembers failures
+  for the process, so later blocks do not retry a broken backend.
+  It is not the default: 480p four-step generation is faster than reference
+  but does not yet match reference video. `--vsa-impl reference` is the same
+  as `auto`.
+
+See the [MLX install guide](../../getting_started/installation/mlx.md)
+and the [MiniMax H3 cookbook](../../cookbook/minimax-h3.md) for conversion
+and `mlx_fasth3.py` / `mlx_fasth3_8step.py` flags. Do not enable
+VSA on a dense-only checkpoint; reconvert with `--include-vsa` first. V1
+VSA is opt-in. FastH3 V2 converts with `--include-vsa` and turns VSA on
+by default.
+
+H3 uses fused MLX RMSNorm by default, including dense inference. This can
+change BF16 rounding relative to the older explicit normalization path.
+`FASTVIDEO_MLX_FAST_NORM` controls Wan normalization only.
+
+The generation report aggregates VSA statistics across all blocks and steps.
+`impl_counts` and `fallback_reasons` show mixed execution and fallback.
+`video_keep` is the mean number of selected video-key tiles per video query
+tile and head, including dense overrides. `achieved_sparsity` is the matching
+mean video-tile sparsity; in `compete` mode it measures actual selections,
+not the requested top-k budget. These are tile counts, not token-level FLOPs.

+test in the same pull request.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **Register every FastVideo variable in `fastvideo/envs.py`.** Each entry declares a type, a default, a category,
+   and a description. Variables that other tools own (CUDA, NCCL, PyTorch, launchers) are not registered; code reads
+   them directly with `os.environ.get("NAME")`, and the name must be in the external-variable allowlist
+   (`EXTERNAL_ALLOWLIST` in the contract test). When FastVideo sets such a variable for the other tool, it calls
+   `envs.set_external`, `envs.setdefault_external`, or `envs.unset_external`, and the name must be in
+   `EXTERNAL_WRITE_ALLOWLIST`.
+2. **Read with `envs.NAME.get()`, write with `envs.NAME.set()`, and change a value in tests with
+   `envs.NAME.override()`.** Each type has one parsing rule. A value that the rule rejects raises
+   `fastvideo.envs.EnvVarError` instead of falling back to the default.
+3. **Name FastVideo variables with the `FASTVIDEO_` prefix.** The second word states the purpose where one applies:
+   `ENABLE_`, `DISABLE_`, `USE_`, `FORCE_`, `DEBUG_`, `TEST_`.
+4. **Keep a renamed variable as a deprecated alias until the next minor release.** Setting the old name logs a
+   warning. Delete a variable that no code reads, and list it in `DEPRECATED_VARIABLES` so that setting it logs a
+   warning.
+5. **Give each setting one source: an argument or an environment variable.** Settings that users change per
+   deployment are arguments (CLI or YAML). Expert switches, emergency off switches, and debugging and test switches
+   are environment variables.
+6. **Read variables inside functions.** `envs.NAME.get()` runs when the function runs, so a changed value takes
+   effect without re-importing a module. Module level, class bodies, decorators, and default argument values run at
+   import time.
+7. **Do not write the environment to pass values between parts of FastVideo.** Pass an argument instead. Tests use
+   `envs.NAME.override()`.

+## Field types
+
+| Class        | Value type       | Parsing rule                                                                        |
+| ------------ | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `EnvBool`    | `bool`           | `1`, `true`, `yes`, `on` are true; `0`, `false`, `no`, `off`, and `""` are false.   |
+|              |                  | Case-insensitive; surrounding whitespace is ignored.                                |
+| `EnvInt`     | `int`            | `int(value)`                                                                        |
+| `EnvFloat`   | `float`          | `float(value)`                                                                      |
+| `EnvStr`     | `str` or `None`  | The raw string. A `None` default means that the variable has no default.            |
+| `EnvPath`    | `str` or `None`  | The raw string with a leading `~` expanded.                                         |
+| `EnvChoice`  | `str`            | Stripped and lower-cased, then checked against the declared `choices`.              |
+
+A default can be a zero-argument function; `get()` calls it on each read while the variable is unset. The path roots
+use this to follow `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and `XDG_CACHE_HOME`.
+
+Using a field without a method, as in `if envs.FASTVIDEO_FA4:`, raises `TypeError`.
+
+## Add a variable
+
+1. Declare the variable in the matching section of `fastvideo/envs.py`:
+
+    ```python
+    FASTVIDEO_DEBUG_MY_STAGE = EnvBool(False, category="debug", doc="Log the inputs of MyStage.")
+    ```
+
+    The category is one of the values in `envs.CATEGORIES`.
+
+2. Read the variable inside a function:
+
+    ```python
+    import fastvideo.envs as envs
+
+    def forward(self, batch):
+        if envs.FASTVIDEO_DEBUG_MY_STAGE.get():
+            logger.info("MyStage inputs: %s", batch.keys())
+    ```
+
+3. Regenerate the table at the end of this page:
+
+    ```bash
+    python fastvideo/tests/contract/test_env_policy.py
+    ```
+
+4. Run the contract test:
+
+    ```bash
+    pytest fastvideo/tests/contract/test_env_policy.py
+    ```
+
+In a test, change the value with `override`, which restores the previous value on exit:
+
+```python
+with envs.FASTVIDEO_DEBUG_MY_STAGE.override(True):
+    run_stage()
+```
+
+## Rename or remove a variable
+
+To rename a variable, declare it under the new name and list the old name in `deprecated_names`:
+
+```python
+FASTVIDEO_LTX2_USE_DISTILLED_SIGMAS = EnvBool(True,
+                                              category="sampling",
+                                              doc="...",
+                                              deprecated_names=("LTX2_USE_DISTILLED_SIGMAS", ))
+```
+
+`get()` reads an old name only when the new name is unset, and logs a warning once. Update the uses of the old name
+in `examples/`, `scripts/`, `docs/`, `apps/`, and the tests in the same pull request. Delete the old name in the next
+minor release.
+
+To remove a variable that no code reads, delete its entry and add the name to `DEPRECATED_VARIABLES` in
+`fastvideo/envs.py` with a reason. `FastVideoArgs` calls `envs.warn_deprecated_variables()`, which logs a warning for
+each listed variable that is set. Delete the entry in the next minor release.
+
+## What the contract test checks
+
+The test parses every Python file under `fastvideo/`, including `fastvideo/tests/`, with Python's `ast` module. It
+skips `fastvideo/third_party/`, which is copied from upstream projects, and the registry `fastvideo/envs.py`. It does
+not check `apps/`, `examples/`, `scripts/`, `fastvideo-kernel/`, or `docs/`.
+
+It reports each violation as `<path>: <kind> <name>`:
+
+| Kind               | Code that triggers it                                        | Fix                                          |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
+| `read`             | `os.getenv`, `os.environ.get`, `os.environ[...]`, or         | Register the variable and call               |
+|                    | `"NAME" in os.environ` with a name outside the allowlist, or | `envs.NAME.get()`. For a variable that       |
+|                    | with a name built at runtime (`<dynamic>`)                   | another tool owns, add it to                 |
+|                    |                                                              | `EXTERNAL_ALLOWLIST` with a reason.          |
+| `write`            | `os.environ[...] = ...`, `setdefault`, `pop`, `del`,         | Pass an argument instead. In tests, use      |
+|                    | `os.putenv`, `os.unsetenv`, `monkeypatch.setenv`/`delenv`,   | `envs.NAME.override()`. For a variable that  |
+|                    | or an `envs.*_external` call with a name outside             | another tool reads, call an                  |
+|                    | `EXTERNAL_WRITE_ALLOWLIST`                                   | `envs.*_external` helper and add the name to |
+|                    |                                                              | `EXTERNAL_WRITE_ALLOWLIST` with a reason.    |
+| `whole-environ`    | `os.environ.copy()`, `dict(os.environ)`, iteration,          | Read the specific variables that the code    |
+|                    | `mock.patch.dict(os.environ, ...)`, `os.environ.update`      | needs.                                       |
+| `bare-field`       | A registry field used without calling one of its methods,    | Call `envs.NAME.get()`.                      |
+|                    | as in `envs.NAME == "auto"` or `getter = envs.NAME.get`      |                                              |
+| `import-time-read` | `envs.NAME.get()` outside a function                         | Move the read into the function that uses    |
+|                    |                                                              | the value.                                   |
+| `prefix`           | A registry entry without the `FASTVIDEO_` prefix             | Rename the variable and keep the old name in |
+|                    |                                                              | `deprecated_names`.                          |
+| `unread`           | A registry entry that no code reads with `get()` or          | Delete the variable and add it to            |
+|                    | `is_set()`                                                   | `DEPRECATED_VARIABLES`.                      |
+
+The test recognizes `os` imported under another name, `from os import environ, getenv`, and a name held in a
+module-level string constant. Code that reaches the environment through `importlib` or `getattr(os, "environ")` is
+left to code review.
+
+The test also checks that every registry entry has a category from `envs.CATEGORIES` and a description, and that the
+table at the end of this page matches the registry.
+
+**Known violations.** `KNOWN_VIOLATIONS` in the contract test lists the violations that existed when the policy was
+introduced. The list only shrinks. A violation that is not in the list fails the test. A listed violation that no
+longer exists also fails the test, so the fixing pull request deletes its entry.

+# Selectable GPU CI Backends
+
+GPU CI can use the existing Slurm dispatcher, Modal, or GB200 Kubernetes Jobs
+in the `vllm` namespace. GitHub and Buildkite remain the trigger and reporting
+systems. `vllm` names the cluster namespace here; tests run FastVideo's existing
+lane scripts rather than a vLLM inference server.
+
+The default remains Slurm. The existing `.buildkite/pipeline.yml`, private
+Slurm uploader, and dormant Modal launchers are preserved. Deploying the new
+trusted uploader is an operator step; merging these files does not change the
+live Buildkite pipelines or create cluster resources. See
+[CI/CD Architecture](ci_architecture.md) for the existing installation.
+
+## Execution and Limits
+
+```text
+GitHub PR / slash command / schedule
+  -> trusted Buildkite bootstrap
+     -> slurm: existing validated graph and private dispatcher
+     -> modal or vllm: one trusted suite coordinator
+        -> shared PR admission and GPU reservations
+        -> isolated GPU worker per existing lane
+        -> lane results, logs, and backend-specific suite status
+```
+
+All new Modal and `vllm` coordinators share one admission database. It enforces:
+
+- At most two distinct PRs with admitted GPU work.
+- At most four reserved GPUs per PR across its concurrent builds and lanes.
+- At most eight reserved GPUs across both backends combined.
+- Additional PRs wait without creating GPU workers.
+
+A PR is identified by repository and PR number, so Fastcheck, merge builds,
+manual reruns, and separate attempts share its allowance. Its slot remains
+occupied between lanes until all admitted builds for that PR finish. A
+non-PR build, including a schedule on `main`, consumes its own slot and the
+same GPU budget. The preserved Slurm dispatcher has its existing independent
+limits; this new admission database does not control legacy Slurm jobs.
+
+Lanes retain their existing one-, two-, or four-GPU requirements. Four-GPU
+SSIM and training lanes wait for that PR's other lanes to release capacity.
+Selected integration lanes wait for the golden gate and are skipped if it
+fails. CPU-only GitHub checks are unaffected. Pending admission is bounded by
+`queue_timeout_seconds`, initially six hours. The coordinator's Buildkite
+command timeout is eight hours, including admission and lane waits after the
+command starts; time waiting for a Buildkite agent is outside that timeout.
+
+Reservations persist before a worker is created. Cancellation releases them
+only after worker termination is confirmed. A lost coordinator, uncertain
+create response, or unavailable backend retains its reservations until
+recovery confirms cleanup. There is no heartbeat expiry that silently frees
+GPUs while an old worker could still be running.
+
+## Operator Installation
+
+Use an operator-reviewed immutable checkout under
+`/opt/fastvideo-gpu-ci/source`. Install the supplied `scripts/gpu_ci/run` and
+`scripts/gpu_ci/upload` wrappers as `/opt/fastvideo-gpu-ci/run` and
+`/opt/fastvideo-gpu-ci/upload`. They invoke the reviewed Python entrypoint
+with isolated import mode. Install the supplied files instead of generating
+shell wrappers from build metadata:
+
+```bash
+install -m 755 /opt/fastvideo-gpu-ci/source/scripts/gpu_ci/run /opt/fastvideo-gpu-ci/run
+install -m 755 /opt/fastvideo-gpu-ci/source/scripts/gpu_ci/upload /opt/fastvideo-gpu-ci/upload
+```
+
+The controller needs Python 3.10 or newer, PyYAML,
+the Buildkite agent, and `kubectl`; Modal additionally needs the reviewed
+Modal SDK and a controller-side Modal credential.
+
+Copy [the configuration example](../../scripts/gpu_ci/config.example.json)
+to `/etc/fastvideo-gpu-ci.json`. Keep the installation and configuration
+operator-owned and unwritable by workers. Configure the actual legacy
+`slurm_uploader` command, replace each enabled backend's image placeholder
+with a reviewed registry digest, and leave `default_backend` as `slurm`
+during canaries. The checked-in placeholders deliberately cannot start jobs.
+
+The permanent dispatcher must reach the Kubernetes API independently of a
+developer laptop, SSH tunnel, or Tailscale session. The existing CPU development
+pod is useful for investigating access, but is not a production CI service.
+Use a dedicated controller identity and a separate `gpu-ci-dispatch` Buildkite
+queue. The trusted bootstrap also needs access to the existing Slurm uploader
+while that backend remains enabled.
+
+Run all coordinators on **one host**, with `state_path` and `artifacts_dir` on
+its persistent local disk. The implementation uses SQLite transactions and
+local file locks. Do not place the database or locks on Lustre/NFS, run
+independent database copies, or scale controller replicas across nodes. Those
+configurations would invalidate the global limits. Multiple Buildkite agent
+processes on the same host can share the installation and ledger; enough
+agents are needed for concurrent suite coordinators and queued work.
+
+Configure agent-owned hooks to skip repository checkout and reject commands
+other than the trusted uploader and coordinator. Disable repository hooks
+and plugins on this queue. Do not use a PR checkout to load `scripts/gpu_ci`,
+its configuration, or its worker entrypoint. Build metadata is validated by
+the dispatcher; arbitrary environment variables are not forwarded into GPU
+workers. Buildkite, Kubernetes, and Modal control-plane credentials stay on
+the dispatcher.
+
+For Kubernetes, provision namespace-scoped permissions to create/get/delete
+Jobs and read Pods and their logs. Worker Pods disable service-account token
+mounting and request the exact GPU count on ARM64 GB200 nodes. The image must
+include the expected `/opt/venv` runtime, CUDA/SM100 support, and the reviewed
+FA4 dependencies. Use a separate AMD64 image digest for Modal. The Modal
+profile preserves H100 for encoder, custom-kernel, and VSA lanes, and L40S
+for the remaining lanes. Its reviewed image must support both SM89 and
+SM90a. Attention settings are selected per backend and lane to preserve the
+existing Modal and GB200 FA4 profiles; do not replace them with one global
+attention override. Validate the images against their respective hardware
+before enabling merge gates.
+
+Optional Kubernetes configuration includes `context`, `hf_secret`,
+`hf_secret_key`, `cache_pvc`, `cache_subpath`, `artifacts_pvc`, and
+`artifacts_subpath`. Only provide a read-only Hugging Face credential when
+private/gated downloads require it. PR workers are untrusted and can access
+any credential supplied to them, so never provide a reference-publication
+or other write-capable token. Prefer a pre-populated read-only cache.
+
+Use dedicated CI PVCs and relative CI subpaths. The personal
+`lustre-pvc-vllm` and `nfs-pvc-vllm` claims are rejected. The cache is mounted
+read-only; mutable references and locks stay inside the worker. The artifact
+init container prepares each Job's dedicated artifact subdirectory before
+the worker mounts it. An
+operator quota or admission policy scoped to CI can provide a second GPU
+ceiling; do not apply an eight-GPU quota to the shared `vllm` namespace if it
+would also cap other users' work.
+
+## Wire Every Buildkite Entry Pipeline
+
+Set each pipeline's operator-owned bootstrap command to
+`/opt/fastvideo-gpu-ci/upload`. Apply this to all three entry pipelines:
+
+| Pipeline | Trigger and scope |
+|---|---|
+| `pr-fastcheck` | Automatic PR webhook; `TEST_SCOPE=fastcheck` or unset. |
+| `ci` | Existing API triggers for Fastcheck, full, merge, direct, and scheduled SSIM. Keep its incoming PR webhook disabled to avoid duplicate builds. |
+| `fastvideo-performance-lane` | Existing schedule; `TEST_SCOPE=direct`, `TEST_TYPE=performance`. |
+
+The wrapper resolves `CI_GPU_BACKEND` from the build environment, falling
+back to `default_backend` in the trusted configuration. Allowed values are
+exactly `slurm`, `modal`, and `vllm`; unknown values fail. For Slurm, upload
+delegates to the unchanged private uploader. For Modal or `vllm`, it uploads
+one fixed `/opt/fastvideo-gpu-ci/run` command on the dedicated queue, with
+the selected backend and scope pinned in step environment.
+
+Set `CI_GPU_BACKEND=vllm` in the Buildkite build environment for a rack canary,
+or `modal` for a Modal canary. The existing API build payload can carry the
+same string in its `env` object. Automatic PR webhook builds inherit the
+operator's configured default unless pipeline/build configuration explicitly
+overrides it. Do not put backend selection inside a PR-controlled command.
+
+Keep the existing exact `BUILDKITE_COMMIT`, repository, PR identity, and
+`TEST_SCOPE` metadata. Direct runs also need an allowlisted `TEST_TYPE`.
+Merge runs need the trusted base-branch planner's `MERGE_TEST_PLAN`,
+`MERGE_GOLDEN_TESTS`, and `MERGE_SSIM_TESTS`. Full/direct/scheduled quality
+runs keep their complete matrices. The worker fetches and verifies the
+immutable commit before installing dependencies or invoking a lane script.
+
+The new Modal adapter uses bounded one-to-four-GPU sandboxes and the same
+lane scripts as Kubernetes. It does not reactivate `pr_test.sh` or the old
+Modal SSIM fan-out, which cannot enforce this shared four-GPU-per-PR budget.
+The legacy files remain available for their existing manual workflows.
+
+## Statuses and Default-Backend Cutover
+
+The selected adapter reports separate suite contexts:
+
+| Scope | GitHub context |
+|---|---|
+| Fastcheck | `gpu-ci/<backend>/fastcheck-passed` |
+| Merge or explicit full suite | `gpu-ci/<backend>/full-suite-passed` |
+| Direct lane | `gpu-ci/<backend>/direct-test-completed` |
+| Scheduled SSIM | `gpu-ci/<backend>/scheduled-ssim-passed` |
+
+The repository variable `CI_GPU_BACKEND` controls which new backend can
+publish the existing required `fastcheck-passed` and `full-suite-passed`
+contexts. Empty or `slurm` preserves the existing status behavior. `modal`
+or `vllm` enables `ci-gpu-backend-status.yml`, which reads the latest statuses
+for that one backend and mirrors both required contexts. A missing result
+becomes pending; failure and error remain failures. It never combines one
+backend's Fastcheck with another backend's full-suite result. Late status
+events re-read current state instead of replaying stale event payloads.
+
+Direct tests are diagnostic and do not promote a whole suite on the new
+backends. Rerun the matching Fastcheck or merge/full suite to clear its gate.
+Per-build tests on the other new backend remain separate diagnostics. The
+legacy direct-test aggregation workflow is disabled while a new backend is
+selected. These workflows retain the existing trust assumption that only
+authorized status-writing integrations can publish CI status contexts.
+
+For production cutover, drain existing Slurm builds: its preserved pipeline
+still emits canonical status contexts. The new uploader rejects a Slurm
+override when `default_backend` is `modal` or `vllm`, preventing later legacy
+builds from overwriting the promoted backend's checks. Ensure no old bootstrap
+bypasses the new uploader. Synchronize the operator `default_backend` and
+the GitHub repository variable, then clear or rerun required checks for all
+open PRs. Old green contexts do not become new-backend validation merely
+because a setting changed. Run both Fastcheck and the merge/full suite on
+the promoted backend before allowing merge. Apply the same drain and rerun
+procedure when rolling back to Slurm.
+
+## Validation and Recovery
+
+Inspect the rendered opt-in pipeline without submitting a build:
+
+```bash
+CI_GPU_BACKEND=vllm TEST_SCOPE=fastcheck \
+  /opt/fastvideo-gpu-ci/venv/bin/python -I \
+  /opt/fastvideo-gpu-ci/source/scripts/gpu_ci/entrypoint.py render \
+  --config /etc/fastvideo-gpu-ci.json
+```
+
+Validate a one-GPU lane, then a two-/four-GPU lane and the complete Fastcheck
+suite. Exercise two PRs plus a third waiter, concurrent builds of the same
+PR, cancellation, retries, and coordinator restart. Confirm observed GPU
+reservations never exceed two PRs, four per PR, or eight in total. A GPU
+reservation includes a pending worker, so unavailable nodes cannot cause
+the controller to submit more work than its allowance.
+
+Run SSIM, training, and performance canaries separately. References must
+match the effective GPU/runtime/attention backend; do not silently reuse
+L40S performance results as GB200 baselines or reseed references as part of
+routine CI. Workers keep W&B offline and disable reference publication.
+
+Inspect the persistent ledger and recover an abandoned attempt with:
+
+```bash
+/opt/fastvideo-gpu-ci/venv/bin/python -I \
+  /opt/fastvideo-gpu-ci/source/scripts/gpu_ci/entrypoint.py status \
+  --config /etc/fastvideo-gpu-ci.json
+
+/opt/fastvideo-gpu-ci/venv/bin/python -I \
+  /opt/fastvideo-gpu-ci/source/scripts/gpu_ci/entrypoint.py recover \
+  --config /etc/fastvideo-gpu-ci.json --build-id BUILD_ID.JOB_ID
+```
+
+Use the exact ledger ID from `status`; each Buildkite retry has a distinct
+job ID. Recovery refuses a live coordinator, persists cancellation, stops
+owned resources, and releases reservations only after confirming termination.
+If creation or cleanup is ambiguous, investigate the recorded handle on its
+backend and retain the reservation until the outcome is known. Do not delete
+the database or manually zero counters to unblock the queue.
+
+The dispatcher uploads controller logs, per-lane numeric results, request
+metadata, and the suite summary to Buildkite. These are the sources for its
+exit status. Generated videos and JUnit files stay in the worker unless a
+dedicated Kubernetes artifact PVC is configured; automatic publication of
+those worker files and Modal worker artifacts is not implemented. This is
+a deployment limitation to account for before replacing existing artifact
+review workflows.

 ## Running Tests Locally

-Run the narrowest useful suite while iterating:
+Start with the cheapest checks that cover the changed behavior, and stop on a
+failure before starting heavier dependent checks:
+
+1. Run pre-commit on changed files and focused import, config, and contract tests.
+2. Run the smallest matching component golden gate. Prefer one GPU, tiny fixed
+   inputs, cached component weights, and direct tensor comparisons over renders.
+3. Run focused component parity or default SSIM when the golden does not cover
+   the changed behavior, such as VAE normalization or pipeline wiring.
+4. Run full-quality renders or broad suites when required by the change, an
+   explicit request, or CI policy, rather than on every edit.
+
+A golden must cover the component being changed. Wan has four small gates:
+
+| Gate | Boundary |
+|---|---|
+| `test_wan_t2v.py` | Dense transformer block 0 |
+| `test_wan_vae.py` | FP32 encode, BF16 decode, streaming, and cache reset |
+| `test_wan_causal.py` | Real block weights, cache append/rewrite, and sink eviction |
+| `test_wan_denoising.py` | Three real 1.3B DiT/UniPC steps with fixed prompt embeddings |
+
+These use an immutable Wan checkpoint revision and only download the required
+component. The trajectory gate needs no tokenizer, text encoder, VAE, or video
+reference. Weight-free stage tests also exercise every step of a 50-step UniPC
+loop, CFG caching, expert switching, conditioning layouts, and DMD RNG order.
+These checks do not replace independent Diffusers parity or end-to-end SSIM.
+
+Use the golden's matching GPU, dtype, backend, and runtime. A missing reference
+or environment mismatch is not a pass. Do not replace a reference with the
+candidate output just to clear a failure. For a relocation, the unchanged
+parent is the baseline; two imports of the same class are not numerical proof.
+
+The VAE and transformer CI lanes run their Wan component goldens first.
+Selected integration lanes wait for the golden lane in merge/full builds.
+See [CI/CD Architecture](ci_architecture.md) for direct-rerun and skip semantics.
+
+For Wan, one command enforces the local ordering and stops on failure:
+
+The initial contracts include `tests/api/test_wan_definitions.py`: all registered
+Wan aliases, local-manifest detector precedence, sampling/precision defaults,
+config isolation, and legacy serialized-config compatibility. These require no
+weights or Hub access; the current package import still needs its prepared
+runtime environment.

 ```bash
-pytest tests/
-pytest fastvideo/tests/ -v
-pytest fastvideo/tests/encoders -vs
-pytest fastvideo/tests/transformers -vs
-pytest fastvideo/tests/vaes -vs
+bash scripts/validate_wan.sh vae           # contracts, then the VAE golden
+bash scripts/validate_wan.sh dense parity  # contracts, goldens, Diffusers parity
+bash scripts/validate_wan.sh all default   # then focused T2V/I2V/causal SSIM
+```
+
+The second argument is an upper validation tier, not a reference override.
+Supply the GPU/backend/runtime and SSIM model/tier settings that match the
+reference. The script never updates references. Causal component coverage is
+a block-cache fingerprint, not independent full causal-pipeline parity.
+
+New named-tensor gates write a missing output to `*.candidate.pt` and fail;
+running candidate code again cannot turn it into an approved reference. Seed
+from unchanged, pushed source, verify two independent processes bit-for-bit,
+then review and publish only the new reference files. Preserve the baseline
+source SHA, test recipe SHA, checkpoint revision, runtime, and comparison
+receipt with the run artifacts. Never overwrite an existing video reference
+as a side effect of adding a tensor gate.
+
+Examples of focused checks:
+
+```bash
+pytest fastvideo/tests/loader/test_wan_family_imports.py -q
+pytest fastvideo/tests/golden_gate/test_wan_t2v.py -q
+pytest fastvideo/tests/vaes/test_wan_vae.py -q

-supports:
-
- [Configuration](../inference/configuration.md) covers the Python and CLI
-  config surfaces.
- [Optimizations](../inference/optimizations.md) covers attention backends,
-  compilation, and memory tradeoffs.
- [Support matrix](../inference/support_matrix.md) lists supported models and
-  optimizations.

Hexu ZhaoandClaude Opus 5	10bdf5e076	[bugfix] frozen offload: no host copy for an already resident module `load` took the host copies before checking which tensors were missing from the device, so with `vae_cpu_offload=False` — where the loader builds the VAEs on CUDA and `unload` is never called — it pulled about 11 GB per rank back over PCIe once and kept a pinned mirror of it for the life of the process, for a module that never leaves the device. It now asks what is absent first and returns early when nothing is. The offloaded path is unchanged: weights still round-trip and come back bit identical.

Hexu ZhaoandClaude Opus 5	3e26db40b0	[perf] H3 decode: pin the frozen VAEs' host copies With the device-to-host copy gone, the remaining host-to-device copy is the stage's cost, and from pageable memory it is staged through a bounce buffer at roughly 2.6 GB/s instead of full PCIe speed. The host copies are made once, so pinning them costs nothing per request. It does cost the module's size in non-pageable host memory (10.4 GB for the H3 video VAE, 0.6 GB for the audio VAE, per rank) for as long as the pipeline is alive. It follows --pin-cpu-memory, which is on by default; --no-pin-cpu- memory keeps the copies pageable and only loses the bandwidth. Note that this flag did not already reach the VAE: its other use is FSDP's own CPUOffloadPolicy and the VAE does not go through FSDP.

Hexu ZhaoandClaude Opus 5	c73dd0ab55	[perf] H3 decode: offload the frozen VAEs without the device-to-host copy The decode stages move the 10.4 GB fp32 video VAE (and the 0.6 GB audio VAE) with module.to(device) / module.to("cpu") on every request. The weights are frozen -- the whole stage runs under no_grad -- so the copy back to the host returns bytes the host already has. Keep one host copy per tensor, made the first time the module is loaded, and on unload point .data back at it instead of copying. One H2D per request, no D2H at all; the module still lives on the host between requests. Where the old path allocated a fresh host tensor per cycle and freed the previous one, this reuses one buffer, so peak host memory can only go down.

Lele	316f3876c2	[bugfix]: allow MiniMax H3 frame padding at the 15-second limit Accept the causal-VAE-aligned 362-frame bucket (15.083 s) for 15-second H3 requests. - Hoist MINIMAX_H3_MIN/MAX_ALIGNED_FRAMES next to align_num_frames and reuse them in the CUDA stage, the MLX runtime, and the LoRA example so the bound is consistent across entry points. - State the accepted frame range in the error messages. - Cover seconds="15" -> 362 at OpenAI admission and the MLX resolve_geometry bound. - Update the Spark/openai cookbook frame caps from 345 to 362. Known gaps: no GPU-lane coverage for the 362 bucket (SSIM runs 124 frames; the golden gate is a fixed-geometry fingerprint), and explicit num_frames=360 still hits the pre-existing grid gate.	2026-09-14 16:54:41 -07:00

Yaegaki1Erika	9a3c45779c	[bugfix]: fix Wan I2V DMD conditioning under sequence parallelism (#1844 ) The pipeline pre-sharded only the image conditioning along the temporal axis while the noise input stayed full-length, so concatenation could not match for sp_world_size > 1. WanTransformer3DModel shards the flattened token sequence after patch embedding, so pass full-length mask+latent conditioning and let the transformer shard. Also reads temporal_compression_ratio from the VAE config, simplifies the conditioning mask, concatenates in the transformer's (bs, c, t, h, w) layout, and adds unit coverage.
