- re-register the linear family with the operator dispatcher (ASTR_OPS / op_backend / resolve)
- fix bf16 gemv misaligned-address faults and element mispairing for offset weights
- reject misaligned bf16_swiglu inputs with a clear error and fall back in the backend gate
- make the rollout reuse decision, validation, and return atomic under one policy snapshot
- add the documented post-scoring rollout version check
- derive live+1 under the scheduler lock in optimizer_step via apply_weight_update(None, ...)
- reject rollout_max_policy_lag below rollout_interval - 1 at config time
- sync gemv stream-test inputs before switching streams; drop dead loader imports
Feed sampler-aligned behavior log-probabilities directly into online GRPO instead of allocating, synchronizing, and forwarding a duplicate old-policy model. Keep the old-model path as an offline compatibility fallback and validate supplied rollout tensors before loss computation.
Track a monotonic policy version across optimizer steps, scheduler updates, and rollout results. Serialize synchronous generation with weight acknowledgements and invalidate reusable prefix KV entries so cached samples remain attributable to the behavior policy that generated them.
- Propagates MoE load-balancing loss through model outputs
- Logs task, auxiliary, and weighted losses across strategies
- Computes only explicitly requested callback metrics
- Preserves tensor compute_loss API and adds regression tests
- Remove tautological test_trainer assertions that never trained
- Drop grpo isfinite-only smokes and merge frozen-model checks via parametrize
- Merge duplicate tool_parser cases (find/streaming/factory) with parametrize
- Collapse duplicate dataset store/detect_format tests
- Remove misleading scheduler/task tests that asserted the opposite of their names
- Merge signal-handler SIGTERM/SIGINT into one parametrized case
- Drop cross-file grpo strategy duplication kept in online_strategy
- Extract _resolve_base_type and _validate_component as module-level helpers
- Replace ForwardRef._evaluate private API with eval in module namespace
- Remove broad except Exception in __init_subclass__, _component_base always set
- Replace direct _entries mutation in strategy.py with register() call form
- Remove dead TOKENIZER_CLASSES registry from AutoTokenizer
- Extract ModelFactory(BaseFactory[nn.Module]) as pure factory
- AutoModel now inherits only nn.Module, no factory state
- Move @AutoModel.register to @ModelFactory.register in transformer.py and encoder.py
- RolloutGenerator now delegates prefill/decode to InferenceScheduler.run_batch (sync API, no background thread), sharing one KV-cache code path with the inference server and eliminating O(n^2) recompute in rollout
- Add sample(return_logprobs=) and Executor.execute_decode(return_logprobs=) to expose behaviour-policy log-probs through the engine; Task gains output_logprobs
- RolloutResult now subclasses RawRollout (adds rewards only), removing duplicated fields
- RolloutRunner.__call__ returns (result, is_fresh) instead of relying on object identity, removing the fragile refresh-detection contract
- Remove O(n^2) generate_responses helper and dead code (_tokenize_prompts, unused old_model arg)
- train_context.py wires InferenceScheduler directly instead of hand-rolling SamplingPipeline
- Tests: +11 covering return_logprobs, run_batch, and KV-cache-backed rollout semantics; 404 pass
