"""torch.compile-traceable wrapper for the FA2/FA3/FA4 default attention path.
The FA4/cute path (`fa_version == "4"`) is already a registered
`torch.library.custom_op` in `fastvideo.attention.utils.flash_attn_cute`, so
dynamo treats it as a graph node. The external FA2/FA3 ``flash_attn_func`` is
NOT — dynamo breaks the graph at the call site (observed: wanvideo.py
self-attn, once per layer every step), which fragments the compiled region
and blocks CUDA-graph capture. Wrap the FA2/FA3 default call in a custom op
(mirrors the FP4 `flash_attn_cute` template) so it becomes an
opaque-but-traceable node. The kernel still runs eager inside the op
(correct — flash-attn must run eager); only dynamo's treatment of the
boundary changes, so numerics are unchanged (SSIM-gated).
Autograd: FA2 has full ``register_autograd`` parity — the custom op's
backward calls flash_attn's ``_flash_attn_backward`` directly, so training
backprops *through* the op (no graph break on the training path either).
FA3 currently keeps the no-backward + carve-out pattern from PR #1373
because FA3's private backward signature wants validation on a real Hopper
box (gated on Kuan-Hao's Modal FA3 setup PR). Once that lands the FA3 path
can mirror FA2.
Lives in `attention/utils/` (sibling of `flash_attn_cute.py` and
`flash_attn_no_pad.py`) so it can be imported by any backend that wants the
traceable FA default call without pulling in backend dispatch logic. The
backend (`attention/backends/flash_attn.py`) just imports
`flash_attn_func_compilable` and `fa_version` from here.
