- FSDP params are DTensors sharded across ranks
- torch.nn.utils.clip_grad_norm_ computes LOCAL norm only
- Each rank would clip by a different factor, causing gradient divergence
- Fix: compute local norm, all-reduce squared sum, sqrt for global norm
- Default reshard_after_forward=False (forward then backward makes reshard redundant)
- Reduces per-step time by ~19% (1033ms to 839ms on 2xL20)
- Fix pre-existing ruff lint warnings (F401, F541, F841, E741)
- Exclude .md/.json/.yml from ruff format check
- Unblock SIGTERM/SIGINT via pthread_sigmask in early signal handler
- Do not restore SIG_DFL on unregister to prevent pending signal kills
- Register SIGTERM/SIGINT handlers in training loop, set stop flag on signal
- Check stop_requested at each epoch/batch boundary, break and call on_error to save checkpoint
- LocalStrategy parent forwards signal to child processes via terminate(), waits up to 600s for graceful exit
- TrainContext gains threading.Event-based stop_requested/request_stop
- Tests verify SIGTERM/SIGINT trigger checkpoint save with exit code 0, works on both CPU and GPU
- New FSDP2Executor registers as 'fsdp2' in ExecutorFactory, using per-module fully_shard() instead of FSDP1 FlatParameter wrapper
- FSDP2 preserves original Parameter objects as DTensors, eliminating use_orig_params=True hack
- FSDP2Executor implements _no_sync via set_requires_gradient_sync, clip_grad_norm via unshard, unwrap_model via DTensor.full_tensor
- Drop **_extra/**_ddp_only_kwargs fallbacks in BaseExecutor/FSDPExecutor/FSDP2Executor, replaced by parallel_mode-aware executor_kwargs dispatch in train.py (ddp-only kwargs only passed when parallel_mode=ddp)
- Export FSDP2Executor in astrai.parallel.__init__
- BaseExecutor.prepare now takes factories and instantiates model via model_fn(), runs before_wrap hook, wraps DDP/FSDP, then builds optimizer/scheduler on the wrapped model
- optimizer/scheduler creation moved into executor.prepare, eliminating the old 'create-then-wrap' hack reliance on use_orig_params=True
- FSDPExecutor/BaseExecutor accept **_extra kwargs to tolerate DDP-only keys (broadcast_buffers, gradient_as_bucket_view) being forwarded via executor_kwargs
- dataloader builds stay external; executor only handles model/optimizer/scheduler
- train_context.py rewritten to load checkpoint state_dict before prepare via a before_wrap closure
- Drop BaseStrategy.model_fn (stored but never read)
- Drop model_fn= passed to StrategyFactory.create in train_context
- Simplify FSDPExecutor.clip_grad_norm None branch to delegate to super()
- Remove DDPExecutor._gather_state_dict override (identical to base)
- TrainConfig.max_grad_norm defaults to None
- executor.clip_grad_norm returns grad norm without clipping when None
- train.py --max_grad_norm defaults to None
