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.
- Return structured finish and error reasons for synchronous generation
- Reject failed online rollout batches instead of training on empty responses
- Verify allocation and extension failures release metrics and KV state
- 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
- RolloutGenerator._instruction_to_messages builds system/user/assistant list (instruction->system, input->user, output->assistant), replacing single-user-turn concatenation
- Remove _iter_samples helper; _prepare_prompts zips parallel list-of-strings fields directly per the collate_fn contract
- Tests adopt a system-aware chat template and pin the three-field role mapping
- Drop unused imports caught by ruff F401 (torch.Tensor in scheduler.py, iter_raw_records in pipeline.py, Tuple in evaluate_rouge.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
