- add build_engine() to astrai.inference.engine as the single load-place-wire path for InferenceEngine, accepting a checkpoint path or live model/tokenizer plus passthrough engine kwargs
- migrate the server lifespan, generate CLI, humaneval/ifeval evals, and all three demos to build_engine; app._create_engine collapses into a direct call
- export build_engine from astrai and astrai.inference
- parameterize the autoregressive demo with --prompt one-shot continuation plus model path and sampling knobs, exiting cleanly on !exit or EOF
- cover the composition root with unit tests for live-object assembly, kwargs passthrough, and argument validation
- shard the Muon Newton-Schulz orthogonalization over the FSDP mesh instead of partial local slices
- import HF checkpoints faithfully: per-head RoPE permutation for q/k projections and qk-norm, qwen3, shared experts, and qk-norm before RoPE (changes numerics for existing use_qk_norm checkpoints)
- make preprocessing and resume self-contained: backfill realigned bucket keys by semantics (masks ones, rest zeros) and snapshot tokenizer files into every checkpoint
- keep RL consistent: sync the offline GRPO old_model each optimizer step and validate online strategies through a public one-off-rollout hook that leaves the replay cache untouched
- fix streaming serving: withhold partial tool-call prefixes with a stream-end flush, stream tool-call arguments from the raw source span, and terminate SSE frames with a blank line
- fix sampling semantics: capture logprobs before top-k/top-p mutate logits in place and detect greedy pipelines polymorphically instead of isinstance bookkeeping
- Propagate stream closure and stop-sequence termination into scheduler cancellation
- Defer active KV release to the scheduler owner and close metrics safely
- Expose lifecycle counters and cover waiting, active, and allocation-race cleanup
- Eliminate core/ directory into cache/, runtime/, network/ subpackages plus flat modules
- Split cache.py (647 lines) into cache/{buffer,strategy,pool}.py by layer
- Add explicit ContiguousStrategy, make AllocationStrategy a real ABC
- Move TaskCacheState to cache/strategy.py, drop string forward references
- Rename api/ to network/, server.py to app.py
- Move sample.py into runtime/ alongside executor and graph
- Simplify TaskCacheManager.__init__ to single pool param
- Expose pool.strategy and pool.req_pool as public properties
- Fix KVCache import in attention_backend.py (TYPE_CHECKING guard)
- Fix steady-state decode reading uninitialized position_ids on first step
