- split KVCache into phase-specific PrefillKVCache/DecodeKVCache types selected by start_pos
- unify steady-state detection in TaskCacheManager
- guard decode steady-state reuse with the cached task signature so recycled req slots cannot replay a prior generation's tokens and positions
- collapse attention backend fwd_decode/fwd_prefill into a single subclass-owned forward with a shared _check_fwd guard
- fix thread-safety gap in weight update and validate prefill inputs before KV allocation
- centralize magic constants in InferenceConfig and align docs with behavior
- merge _generate_streaming/_generate_non_streaming into single _generate() with stream flag
- delete dead GenerationRequest class and generate_with_request method
- inline _next_token helper into generate_async
- replace flash-attn double-checked locking with functools.lru_cache
- extract _write_and_gather_kv helper shared by TorchNative/FlashAttn backends
- inline _kv_cache_is_contiguous into its sole call site in FlashAttnBackend
- change default backend priority from flash>cuda>torch to cuda>flash>torch
- add ASTR_BACKEND env var to override default backend at resolve time
- add supports_graph() static method to AttentionBackend ABC, override in CudaBackend
- replace isinstance(get_backend(), CudaBackend) with get_backend().supports_graph() in executor
- add torch.cuda.is_available() guard to CudaBackend.supports()
- Remove unused local variable b in attention_backend.py
- Remove unused variable rank0_sd in test_broadcast_state_dict.py
- Remove unused imports across test files
