JSONL data and time/memory plots for the GB200 forward-time sweeps: - results_8_hidden_16M_tokens/: hidden 8 reach sweep (HyenaND / Attention / Mamba2 out to 16M tokens; attention is the non-flash head_dim-4 path). - results_512_hidden/: hidden 512, head_dim 128 flash-kernel comparison (HyenaND vs SDPA / FlexAttention / FlashAttention-4 / Mamba2). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Consolidate the two benchmark sets under benchmarks/results/ and document them in one README (protocol, configs, headline numbers, reproduce steps): - reach_hidden8/ (hidden 8, head_dim 4 — scaling reach to 16M tokens) - flash_hidden512/ (hidden 512, head_dim 128 — SDPA/Flex/FA4/Mamba2 comparison) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds `subquadratic_ops_torch.fused_fft_conv2d` as a first-class 2D FFT-conv path. Unlike every other FFT backend it runs the whole rfft2/multiply/irfft2 pipeline in a single cuFFTDx launch and natively in fp32/fp16/bf16 rather than upcasting to fp32. Measured on H200 (B=8, H=768, fwd+bwd, bf16): 3.6-3.9x over `torch_fft` and 1.2-2.4x over the existing `subq_ops` path. Two entry points: * `fft_backend="subq_ops_fused"` on CKConvND — explicit and predictable. Restricted to data_dim=2, non-causal, zero padding, and spatial extents of at most 64 per axis (the kernel's largest FFT tile is 128 and it requires max(X, Y) <= fft_size // 2). The spatial cap is enforced on the first forward pass, not at construction, since input size is unknown there. * `nvsubquadratic.ops.fftconv_lowering` — an inductor pre-grad pass that rewrites fftconv.py's chain onto the fused kernel, so a model already on `fft_backend="torch_fft"` picks it up without a config change. This matters because inductor cannot codegen complex operators and otherwise falls back to eager cuFFT for the entire chain. Enable per-callable with `torch.compile(model, options=fused_fftconv2d_options())`, or for a scope with the `fused_fftconv2d_lowering()` context manager. Pre-grad rather than post-grad so autograd is derived from the custom op's registered backward instead of requiring a consistent forward+backward rewrite. It fires only on an exact match of the reference recipe (padding rule, crop offset, shape limits, CUDA device, and a compute capability that supports the required tile — the 128 tile needs SM90+, as SM80/SM86 lack the shared memory). `lowering_stats()` reports rewrite and per-reason skip counts, since a silent pass is otherwise indistinguishable from one that never ran. Crop-offset reconciliation: the upstream kernel crops the 'same' window at fft_size // 2 whereas fftconv.py crops at K // 2. The wrapper pre-pads the filter's top/left by the difference, making results interchangeable with the other backends (~3e-7 normwise in fp32, ~3e-3 in bf16). Without it the output is shifted by fft_size // 2 - K // 2 pixels — which reads as a ~1.41 (sqrt 2, fully decorrelated) error, not as reduced accuracy. A regression test pins this so the pre-pad cannot be optimised away. Also registers the fused operators eagerly when the pass is constructed: inductor's on-disk FX cache lets a compiled artifact call torch.ops.subquadratic_ops_torch.* on a cache hit without any Python call having triggered the wrappers' lazy import, which failed with an opaque op-namespace AttributeError. Fixes a pre-existing test-gate bug: tests/conftest.py resolved the kernel version from the `subquadratic-ops-torch-cu12` distribution only. On the `-cu13` install that pyproject.toml pins it returned (0, 0, 0), silently turning `requires_subq_ops_v2` into a blanket xfail and hiding every `subq_ops` test result. It now checks both distributions. Includes the in-flight CUDA 13.2 build changes already present in the working tree (Dockerfile base image, cu132 torch/DALI pins, cu13 kernel distribution). Tests: 138 new (op-level equivalence across dtypes/shapes/layouts/FiLM, forward and backward, CKConvND integration, and lowering fire/decline behaviour).

- Dockerfile: base nvcr.io/nvidia/cuda:13.0.3-devel (matched to torch cu130 so apex/mamba's CUDA-version check passes), torch/torchvision cu130, nvidia-dali-cuda130. The [cuda] extra resolves subquadratic-ops-torch-cu13 (>=0.2.2) from the internal GitLab registry via a build secret; FlashAttention-4 uses the [cu13] extra. - build_sqsh.sh: pass the gitlab_token secret (+ preflight), and refresh QEMU binfmt for arm64-on-x86 cross-builds (fixes the nvcc SIGSEGV under stale QEMU). - pyproject: [cuda] → subquadratic-ops-torch-cu13, [dali] → nvidia-dali-cuda130. - Docs / examples / conftest / CHANGELOG updated to CUDA 13.0 / cu130 / cu13.

Brings in fft_backend="subq_ops_fused" and the torch.compile lowering pass so the 2D forward-time benchmarks can exercise the fused cuFFTDx kernel. Conflict resolutions: * pyproject.toml — take #138's subquadratic-ops-torch-cu13>=0.2.2 pin (needed for fused_fft_conv2d), noting that 0.2.2 currently ships only from the internal NVIDIA GitLab registry (public PyPI tops out at 0.2.1). * Dockerfile — keep this branch's CUDA 13.0 base + torch 2.10.0/cu130 pins rather than #138's 13.2/2.12.1: apex and mamba only build when the base nvcc CUDA matches torch's exactly, and the benchmark image builds both. Adopted #138's ARG parameterisation with cu130 defaults so a cu132 image is a build-arg away, and added SUBQ_OPS_INDEX_URL for the 0.2.2 registry. * tests/conftest.py — take #138's version (queries both the cu12 and cu13 distributions instead of only cu13). * CHANGELOG.md — keep both entries. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
benchmark_forward_time_nd_resolution.py
* --fft-backend gains "subq_ops_fused".
* resolve_hyena_backend() picks the effective backend PER POINT instead of
once per run. The fused kernel is 2D-only and capped at 64 per axis (its
largest FFT tile is 128 and it needs max(X,Y) <= fft_size//2), so a single
--fft-backend choice cannot cover a 16..16M sweep: 2D R<=64 runs fused, 2D
R>=128 and all of 1D fall back to subq_ops, 3D to torch_fft. The per-point
backend is echoed before the sweep and recorded in each JSONL row, so the
plots do not imply the fused kernel ran where it could not.
submit_forward_time_nd.sh
* Sweeps every power of two from a 16-wide grid to ~16M tokens (1D 16..16M,
2D 16..4096, 3D 16..256).
* FFT_BACKEND now defaults to subq_ops_fused.
* SUBQ_OPS_WHEEL_DIR mounts a host directory of pre-staged wheels and installs
them offline (--no-index) at job start, so the newer kernel can be swapped in
without rebuilding the .sqsh. Verifies fused_fft_conv2d imports and aborts if
it does not, rather than silently timing the fallback path.
submit_forward_time_flash_kernels.sh
* Extend the same sweeps down to R=16.

The merge pinned subquadratic-ops-torch-cu13>=0.2.2 for fused_fft_conv2d, but public PyPI only carries 0.2.1, so the Dockerfile's `.[all]` layer now fails on a clean build. Resolve it from an internal GitLab index instead. The token is passed as a BuildKit secret rather than a --build-arg: a build-arg is recorded in the image's layer history, so the token would ship with every .sqsh built from it. build_sqsh.sh reads GITLAB_TOKEN from the environment or ~/.gitlab_token, builds the index URL, and fails early with the token-creation steps rather than letting the build run for hours before dying on pip install. Drop the secret once 0.2.2 is published to public PyPI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

build_sqsh.sh needs `docker buildx`, plus QEMU binfmt emulation to produce an arm64 image from an x86 host. Cluster login nodes here have neither — no docker daemon or any other builder, no qemu-aarch64 registered, and no root to install either — so there was no way to produce a GB200 image from the login node. `enroot import` is not a way around it: /tmp is a 2 GB tmpfs (too small to extract a CUDA devel image) and redirecting it to lustre fails because lustre cannot hold the capability xattrs enroot sets while extracting layers. Instead, let pyxis pull the base image onto a GB200 node, take root inside it with --container-remap-root, replay the Dockerfile's steps natively, and write the result out with --container-save. Building on the target architecture also removes QEMU, so the MAX_JOBS=1 throttle build_sqsh.sh needs to survive emulated apex/mamba compiles does not apply: this defaults to MAX_JOBS=32. The token reaches the container as a read-only mounted file rather than an env var — srun's environment is visible via `scontrol show job`, and an exported var would be captured into the saved image. This script REPLAYS the Dockerfile rather than parsing it, so the version pins are duplicated in both and will drift if only one is edited.

PR #138 raised pyproject's floor to torch>=2.12.0,<2.13.0, but the Dockerfile kept TORCH_VERSION=2.10.0. Those two contradict, and the failure was silent: apex, mamba-ssm and causal-conv1d compiled against 2.10.0 in the middle of the build, then the final `.[all]` step resolved nvsubquadratic's own requirement and upgraded torch to 2.12.1 underneath them — leaving compiled extensions built against headers that no longer matched the installed torch. Nothing caught this, because the build's verification printed package METADATA versions, which report happily regardless of what the extension was built against. Add a guard that compares torch.__version__ to the pin and fails the build, and note the coupling on both pins so they are not edited apart. Also fix the FA4 probe in both files: nvidia_cutlass_dsl exposes no __version__, so reading the attribute raised AttributeError and made a perfectly working FA4 install report as failed on every build. Read the version from metadata instead. Verified on the rebuilt image: torch 2.12.1+cu130, apex / causal_conv1d / flash_attn.cute / Mamba2 / fused_fft_conv2d all import, and causal_conv1d_fn executes on-GPU.

HyenaND's short conv was always a torch ConvNd with symmetric padding, in every
config. SubqOpsCausalConv1d — the wrapper around the fused
subquadratic_ops_torch.causal_conv1d kernel — existed and was unit-tested, but
nothing on any Hyena path used it (the module docstring cites two example configs
that in fact select CausalConv1D / torch.nn.Conv1d).
Make the short conv follow the operator's causality rather than always padding
symmetrically:
* is_causal (the 1D sweeps) -> left-only padding: SubqOpsCausalConv1d with
--short-conv=subq_ops (the default), else CausalConv1D. The kernel is
depthwise-only, which this config already satisfies (groups == in_channels
== out_channels == 3*hidden_dim), stride/dilation 1.
* non-causal (2D/3D) -> symmetric torch.nn.ConvNd, unchanged. A causal 1D
kernel does not apply there, so --short-conv=subq_ops falls back with a note.
This also closes a causality hole in the 1D config: it paired a causal long conv
with a symmetric short conv, so the operator could see one token of future
context. 1D Hyena timings will therefore shift slightly against earlier runs.
The effective short conv is printed before the sweep and recorded per JSONL row,
so a plot cannot silently mix short-conv implementations across points.
Mamba keeps its own causal_conv1d (Dao-AILab's) — untouched.

The fused kernel picks its specialisation from the INPUT dtype and then requires
every tensor to match exactly. Under torch.autocast the activations arrive as
bf16/fp16 while nn.Module parameters stay fp32, so passing self.weight through
unchanged aborted with:
ValueError: in_w expected dtype (code=4, bits=16) but got (code=2, bits=32)
That made the module unusable on the standard mixed-precision path — it only
worked when the caller had already narrowed the parameters by hand, which is why
the existing tests (all same-dtype) did not catch it.
Cast weight/bias to the input dtype in forward, mirroring what autocast does for
the built-in conv ops: fp32 master parameters are untouched, only the values
handed to the kernel are narrowed.
Verified on GB200 against CausalConv1D: fp32 max|fused-ref| = 2.4e-07, bf16
1.6e-02, fp16 2.0e-03 (rounding), and perturbing position t changes outputs at
t..L-1 while leaving 0..t-1 bit-identical.

Every existing test feeds fp32 activations to fp32 parameters, so all tensors agree by construction and the kernel's exact-dtype check passes. That is why the module could not run under torch.autocast at all without any test noticing. Add TestAutocast: that the module runs under bf16/fp16 autocast, that the fp32 master weight is not mutated (only the kernel's inputs are narrowed), and that the result still matches CausalConv1D at a tolerance appropriate to the narrowed dtype rather than the fp32 ATOL. 14 passed on GB200.

GDP is what Nemotron is evaluating to replace its Mamba-2 layers, so it is the
operator HyenaND actually has to beat. The existing sweeps cannot answer that:
Nemotron pretrains at L=8192, where nemotron_workspace/FLOPS_MATCHING.md measures
the long conv at ~3.4% of a Hyena layer ("the layer is projection-bound"). A
6496x advantage at 16.7M says nothing about 8192.
New benchmark at the 1B A315M rung (the plan's decision gate): hidden 768,
mamba_state_dim 128, mamba_head_dim 64, mamba_num_groups 8, expand 2, L around
8192. New output stem (nemotron_1d.*), so the reach/flash results are untouched.
benchmarks/gated_delta_product_ref.py
Standalone port of megatron-lm @ dev-arch-mar2026-v2's GatedDeltaProductMixer.
Ported rather than imported: the operator being timed is fla's
chunk_gated_delta_product, identical either way, while importing Megatron's
module would need TransformerEngine (absent), a megatron-core built from the
ADLR branch (the released 0.18.2 has no GDP at all) and an initialised
ProcessGroupCollection — all inert at TP=1/CP=1 on one GPU. TP/CP, inference
contexts and sequence packing are dropped; in_proj/out_proj are nn.Linear
rather than TE fused linears, which the module docstring records.
Verified against the upstream formula: in_proj width 10336 at the 1B rung,
forward finite, and causal (perturbing token t leaves 0..t-1 bit-identical).
Two config bugs this surfaced in the existing harness:
* _mamba_mixer_cfg never passed ngroups, so every earlier mamba number used
mamba-ssm's default of 1 where Nemotron runs 8 — a narrower layer than the
baseline it stands for. Now explicit via --mamba-ngroups/--mamba-state-dim.
* Mamba ran bidirectional everywhere, right for the vision/ND sweeps but wrong
for a language model. --mamba-causal added and used here.
And a timing bug that biased JIT-compiled mixers specifically: n_timed is derived
from the first forward, which for fla (and torch.compile'd FlexAttention) is
dominated by kernel compilation. GDP was landing on the floor of 3 iterations
with extra_warmup forced to 0, while eager mixers got 30 — timed unwarmed against
warmed competitors. Now one untimed priming forward absorbs compilation before
the sizing forward, itself budget-checked so a hopeless point still bails after
one pass. Re-measured, GDP's value barely moved (1.820 -> 1.828 ms at L=4096), so
the effect was noise rather than bias, but the comparison was not fair as run.

…th runnable Two problems, found because HyenaND came out slower than Mamba-2 in nemotron-1d when every earlier 1D sweep said the opposite. 1. The 1D sweeps were not comparing like with like. build_module sets is_causal=(data_dim == 1) for hyena but bidirectional=True for mamba unconditionally, so in 1D a one-pass causal Hyena was timed against a two-pass bidirectional Mamba-2. Ablated at L=8192, holding everything else fixed, bidirectional costs 1.98x at hidden 8 and 2.22x at hidden 768 — enough to reverse the comparison's sign. hidden_dim does not change the sign and ngroups is worth ~8%, so directionality is the whole effect. The published 1D mamba-vs-hyena gaps therefore overstate Hyena by roughly 2x; 2D/3D are consistent (non-causal hyena vs bidirectional mamba) and unaffected. Rather than change the existing series, add `mamba_causal` alongside `mamba` so both baselines appear and the reader picks the one their question needs: bidirectional for vision/ND, causal for a language model. 2. Hyena's FLOP-matched width could not be benchmarked at all. QKVSequenceMixer pinned the inner width to hidden_dim, so e=2.36 — the central number in nemotron_workspace/FLOPS_MATCHING.md — had no code path, and every Hyena-vs-Mamba comparison ran at e=1, which that document measures at 0.423x an M layer. Add an optional inner_dim to QKVSequenceMixer (defaulting to hidden_dim, so nothing existing changes) and thread `expansion` through _hyena_mixer_cfg, sizing the long conv, short conv and norm from it. flop_count already derived from in_features/out_features and picks it up. Measured at L=8192, 1B A315M rung, Hyena at e=2.36 (all n=30): mamba_causal 0.968 ms / 0.56 GB hyena 1.276 ms / 0.50 GB mamba(bidir) 2.048 ms / 0.37 GB gdp 2.292 ms / 1.53 GB Widening Hyena 2.36x cost no wall-clock (1.302 -> 1.276 ms): at this size it is launch-bound, not compute-bound, so FLOP-matching is nearly free in time.

benchmarks.md said the Mamba2 kernel "runs out of memory" at 1M tokens. Measured
on GB200 (184 GiB) with mamba-ssm 2.3.2.post1, it does not: it fails with a CUDA
illegal memory access while using 22 GiB, i.e. 12% of available memory. The
*reach* on that plot still reproduces — at hidden 768 the last working point is
262,144, right where the curve ends — so only the stated cause was wrong.
The distinction matters because it is load-bearing. "Runs out of memory" reads as
an architectural limit on Mamba-2. What is actually there are two separate
implementation limits in the shipping kernels, both of which someone could patch:
* 32-bit index overflow in the Triton SSD scan (ssd_chunk_state.py ->
_chunk_state_fwd), failing at ~2^31 ELEMENTS. Bisected at two widths: hidden
768 breaks between 598,016 and 606,208, hidden 1536 between 253,952 and
262,144 — both landing within 2.5% of 2^31 elements. The threshold halving as
width doubles is the signature of an element-count limit rather than a
sequence-length or memory one. Confirmed by patching: casting program_id to
int64 in that file makes L=1M pass.
* A CUDA grid-dimension cap in causal_conv1d's channels-last path at exactly
65,535 x 64 = 4,194,240 tokens, verified block-by-block. The contiguous path
has no such limit and runs to at least 32M.
Upstream (state-spaces/mamba#686) is open and unfixed: 2.3.2.post1 is the latest
release, ssd_chunk_state.py is byte-identical between v2.3.2 and main, and the
mamba_ssm tree contains no int64 index widening anywhere. The wdykas@bfec072
"more int64" commit referenced in that thread does not fix this — it widens
program_id in ssd_chunk_scan.py and layernorm_gated.py, not in the file that
faults; applying a strict superset of its changes (40 casts vs its 4) still fails
at 1M.
New docs/mamba2_limits.md carries the diagnosis, the evidence and copy-pasteable
reproductions for both limits, and is linked from the corrected claim.

Adds the primary measurement record for the six forward-time sweeps plus the FLOP-matched nemotron-1d run, and BENCHMARK_RESULTS.md — a single self-contained digest meant to be handed to someone (or something) that needs to understand these numbers without reading the whole history. The digest is GENERATED by scripts/visualization/gen_benchmark_digest.py from the JSONL rows, not written by hand, so it cannot drift from the data it describes. Rerun it after new sweeps rather than editing the markdown. Most of its value is the caveats, since several of these results mislead without them: the sub-65K region measures dispatch overhead rather than attention; the R=2048 dip is a reproducible SDPA backend-selection effect, not hardware; mamba's error points are kernel limits and not OOM (see docs/mamba2_limits.md); subq_ops_fused covers only 2D at R<=64; 1D HyenaND is not comparable to runs before the causality fix; and tail points are single-shot. .gitignore keeps slurm logs and plots out of the record — the logs are per-job and large, the plots are regenerable from the JSONL with visualize_forward_time_nd.py. Smoke and bring-up runs are excluded too: they are superseded, and some contain rows produced by since-fixed harness bugs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
main now contains the curated extraction of this branch's library work, shipped as v0.2.0 via PR #139, plus #140 and #141. Every file both sides touched was resolved to main's version, because main is authoritative for all of it: - fftconv_lowering.py: this branch carried the original 533-line pass. main has the 631-line revision with _erase_chain, which fixes two correctness bugs — an unguarded whole-graph eliminate_dead_code that could delete unrelated in-place ops, and an any() short-circuit that fused only the first chain per graph. Keeping this branch's copy would reintroduce both. - pyproject.toml: torch >=2.12 here vs >=2.14 on main. The 2.14 floor is not a preference — torch pins nvidia-cudnn-cu13 exactly, and subquadratic-ops-torch-cu13 >=0.3.0 needs >=9.24.0.43, which only 2.14 satisfies. 2.12 makes `pip install nvsubquadratic[cuda]` unresolvable. - ckconv_nd.py, fftconv_custom.py, tests/conftest.py, the Dockerfile and enroot scripts, and the docs: same work, later revision on main. 21 files resolved this way. What this branch uniquely owns is untouched — the ND benchmark harness, the sweep JSONLs and results digest, the visualization and submit scripts, docs/mamba2_limits.md, and the FA4/FlexAttention additions to attention.py and sequence_mixer.py. Merged rather than rebased: 37 commits against 21 overlapping files would replay the same conflicts repeatedly, and Alireza has commits here, so rewriting the branch's history has a cost a merge does not.

Inline comments:
In `@benchmarks/benchmark_forward_time_nd_resolution.py`:
- Line 769: Apply formatting fixes across the affected sites: align the
“short_conv” entry with the other keys in the record dictionary in
benchmarks/benchmark_forward_time_nd_resolution.py:769; collapse the wrapped
in_width expressions in benchmarks/gated_delta_product_ref.py:170-172 and
244-246; and add a language identifier to the code fence in
docs/mamba2_limits.md:34, then preserve the formatter’s resulting changes.
In `@benchmarks/results/forward_time_2d.jsonl`:
- Line 1: Regenerate all result records to include the schema-defined short_conv
field, using the actual Hyena implementation rather than omitting or hardcoding
it. Apply this consistently in benchmarks/results/forward_time_2d.jsonl lines
1-1, benchmarks/results/forward_time_3d.jsonl lines 1-1,
benchmarks/results/forward_time_flash_2d.jsonl lines 1-1, and
benchmarks/results/forward_time_flash_3d.jsonl lines 1-1.
In `@nvsubquadratic/modules/attention.py`:
- Around line 610-613: Update the attention module’s __init__ validation to
reject the combination of attn_impl="flex" and is_causal=True, raising the
established configuration error before execution. Keep the existing flex, fa4,
and sdpa behavior unchanged for supported argument combinations.
- Around line 600-637: Update the attention dispatch around _flex_attention and
_fa4_func to preserve the documented attn_dropout behavior: reject nonzero
training-time dropout for attn_impl="flex", and pass the existing dropout_p
value to the FA4 call. Keep dropout_p at zero during evaluation and leave the
SDPA behavior unchanged.
In `@scripts/slurm/submit_nemotron_1d.sh`:
- Around line 50-51: Correct the output-file comment near the OUT=nemotron_1d
configuration to list the helper’s actual artifacts: nemotron_1d.jsonl plus the
time and memory PNG and PDF plot files when matplotlib is available.
In `@scripts/visualization/gen_benchmark_digest.py`:
- Line 13: The RESULTS path in the benchmark digest generator is tied to a
workspace-specific absolute location. Update the RESULTS initialization in the
generator to derive the repository root from __file__ and resolve the
repository’s results directory relative to it, preserving the existing JSONL
reading and BENCHMARK_RESULTS.md update behavior.
- Line 1: Update the module header of gen_benchmark_digest.py to include the
NVIDIA license header required by the license-header-check hook, preserving the
existing docstring. Ensure the generated header and any resulting Markdown
formatting changes are staged so pre-commit passes.
In `@scripts/visualization/visualize_forward_time_nd.py`:
- Line 251: Update the visualization legend label associated with FAIL_STATUS so
kernel errors are not categorized as “OOM / timeout”; use the neutral “Failure”
label while preserving the existing marker behavior.
- Around line 152-153: In the row-filtering flow, add an empty-result check
immediately after filtering rows by ok_seq and before accessing rows[0] for
_dim_of(rows). Raise ValueError with the message “No successful values available
for plotting” when no successful rows remain.

PR #137's required `lint` check has been failing on this branch. The causes are all pre-existing here, not from the v0.2.0 merge: - ruff RUF046: `int(round(...))` at benchmark_patch_size_2d.py:206 — `round` already returns an int. - ruff C408: a `dict(...)` call rewritten as a literal at :298. - ruff format and mdformat reflow across the benchmark scripts, the results digest and docs/mamba2_limits.md. Both ruff errors are fixed by hand; the rest is hook autofix, verified idempotent over two full passes. Also documents a trap in gen_benchmark_digest.py. It emits pipe tables unaligned and leaves square brackets unescaped, both of which mdformat rewrites — so the committed BENCHMARK_RESULTS.md is deliberately NOT byte-identical to the generator's output, and regenerating it re-breaks lint every time. The script now prints that after writing. Making the generator emit mdformat-stable output is the real fix; this stops the next person losing time to it first.

Seven of nine findings verified against the code and fixed; one was already
resolved by the lint commit and one named no defect.
attention.py — two silent no-ops in the new attn_impl dispatch:
- `attn_impl="flex"` calls flex_attention with no BlockMask, so `is_causal` had
no effect: a caller asking for causal attention silently got bidirectional.
The inline comment already admitted this ("Non-causal here (no block_mask)"),
which made it a documented trap rather than a caught one.
- Neither `flex` nor `fa4` forwards a dropout probability (FlexAttention is
called without one, FA3+ dropped the argument), so `attn_dropout > 0` was
silently ignored.
Both now raise at construction. The checks run BEFORE the back-end imports,
because `fa4` resolves an optional dependency whose ImportError would otherwise
mask the clearer message. `sdpa` is unaffected — it forwards both.
gen_benchmark_digest.py hardcoded an absolute Lustre path as the only source of
both input and output, so the tracked generator could not run from any other
clone. Now derived from the file's own location.
visualize_forward_time_nd.py:
- `rows` could be emptied when no series has an "ok" value for the selected
metric, then `rows[0]` raised a bare IndexError. Now exits with a message.
- The failure legend read "OOM / timeout" while FAIL_STATUS also includes
`error`, and the tracked Mamba failures all use `error` — so the figure
asserted precisely the cause that docs/mamba2_limits.md was written to refute.
Now "OOM / error / timeout".
The four ND result JSONLs omitted `short_conv`, which the schema published in
BENCHMARK_RESULTS.md defines and the 1D sweeps carry. CodeRabbit asked for the
sweeps to be regenerated; that is unnecessary. For non-causal ND runs the value
is a label derived from (mixer, data_dim), not a measurement — c5dc391 changed
only the 1D path — so it is back-filled deterministically across 91 rows and the
digest regenerated. Re-running would have cost multi-hour GB200 jobs to produce
the identical string. Verified the JSON round-trip is byte-identical first, so
the diff contains no float reformatting, and the digest's net change is exactly
the four provenance lines.
Not applied: the MD040 bare-fence complaint on docs/mamba2_limits.md. Nothing in
this repo enforces it — no markdownlint hook, no workflow step, no config — and
74 of 351 markdown files here use bare fences, so changing one would be an
isolated deviation. Worth a separate PR if the team wants the rule.
1168 passed; pre-commit clean.

CONTRIBUTING.md requires a Signed-off-by trailer on every commit, and the DCO app enforces it on pull requests. Until now the only way to fix a branch with unsigned commits was to rewrite its history. That is a bad trade on a long-lived branch. farhadr/2d_bench (PR #137) has 43 commits and 5 merge commits; rebasing it to add trailers would flatten those merges, replay the 21-file conflict resolution from the v0.2.0 sync, and change the SHA of a commit authored by someone else. Remediation commits solve it by ADDING a commit rather than rewriting: individual — the author signs off their own earlier commit thirdParty — someone signs off on the author's behalf Both are enabled. thirdParty is required whenever a branch carries commits from more than one author, which is the common case for any shared feature branch. Third-party sign-off is a genuine DCO certification about provenance, not a formality — it should only be used where the signer can actually make that certification about the code in question. Note the app reads this file from the DEFAULT branch (probot `context.config`), not from the pull request, so it has to land on main before any remediation commit will be accepted.

Adds DCO sign-off for the commits on this branch that predate the local prepare-commit-msg hook, using remediation lines rather than a rebase. Rewriting would flatten this branch's merge commits, replay the 21-file conflict resolution from the v0.2.0 sync, and change another author's SHA. Enabled by allowRemediationCommits in .github/dco.yml (PR #145). Most of these are not multi-author commits: all but one of the On-behalf-of lines are my own work committed under a different email, because user.email was unset on the ptyche login nodes (git fell back to the hostname) and because web-UI merges use the noreply address. The DCO app matches name and email exactly, so those still need the third-party form. One is a genuine third-party sign-off, for Alireza's ee5146e.
