- Extract _resolve_base_type and _validate_component as module-level helpers
- Replace ForwardRef._evaluate private API with eval in module namespace
- Remove broad except Exception in __init_subclass__, _component_base always set
- Replace direct _entries mutation in strategy.py with register() call form
- Remove dead TOKENIZER_CLASSES registry from AutoTokenizer
- Extract ModelFactory(BaseFactory[nn.Module]) as pure factory
- AutoModel now inherits only nn.Module, no factory state
- Move @AutoModel.register to @ModelFactory.register in transformer.py and encoder.py
- Move create_ref_model from astrai/parallel/utils.py into executor.py
- Remove unused ColumnParallelLinear/RowParallelLinear (module.py)
- Update imports in strategy.py and train_context.py
- Drop unused astrai.parallel.utils and astrai.parallel.module
- unshard() and full_tensor() are collective ops, all ranks must participate
- Old code returned None on non-rank-0 before calling unshard, causing deadlock
- Fix: all ranks unshard/full_tensor, only rank-0 keeps the result
- Move create_ref_model to parallel/utils.py, accept executor+model directly
- Guard create_ref_model and sync_old_model against None on non-rank-0
- 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
- add loss_mask parameter to get_logprobs to decouple attention from loss masking
- DPO/GRPO strategies compose key-padding + causal mask before model forward
- prevents prompt tokens from being masked out of attention and missing causal masking
- 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
- 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)
- DPO requires sequence-level sum of token logprobs, not per-token mean
- mean reduction made beta*ratio_diff ~0.03 (near-zero gradient)
- loss stalled at 0.6931 because logsigmoid(0.03) has vanishing grad
- sum gives beta*ratio_diff ~10 with meaningful gradients
- Mask prompt tokens to 0 so their logprobs excluded from ratio/KL
- Switch to token-level ratio + PPO clipping via reduction='none'
- Slice response token logprobs from full sequence output
- Replace k3 KL estimator with non-negative k1 estimator
- Fix epsilon from finifo.eps (~1e-38) to 1e-8
- Remove unused 'reduction' param from GRPOStrategy.__init__
- Clarify offline batch semantics in docstring
- Add 11 unit tests for masking, advantage, KL, sync, clipping
- Sync training.md and architecture.md docs
