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.
- Write checkpoint payloads to a hidden sibling staging directory, add a versioned checksum manifest, fsync the completed payload, and publish it with an atomic rename
- Republishing an existing step retires the old payload under a hidden sibling name before the atomic rename, so re-runs into the same output directory replace the previous checkpoint instead of raising FileExistsError
- Keep legacy checkpoints loadable, add optional checksum verification, and align metric flushing with checkpoint publication
