📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe deterministic collective API now controls use of the owner-push path. The vLLM runtime binds deterministic tensor-parallel reduction to Qwen3 attention output projections and patches their row-parallel forward path. ChangesDeterministic reduction integration
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The strict o_proj path currently crashes during CUDA Graph replay, and the declared vLLM range includes versions that cannot initialize the required Qwen3 integration; these runtime failures make the PR unsafe to merge until the graph path and dependency contract are fixed or explicitly restricted.

Do not enable this collective during CUDA Graph replay until it is validated.
PR validation reports an illegal-memory-access error for this strict o_proj graph-capture path. The new code still routes every marked tensor-parallel o_proj through the fused deterministic collective. Gate this path during CUDA Graph capture and use row_parallel_forward, or fix and validate capture and replay before release.

Align vLLM compatibility with the supported dependency range.
vllm>=0.6.0 permits stock vLLM 0.6.0, but that release has no vllm.model_executor.models.qwen3. Strict attention therefore fails during _patch_qwen3_strict_model() initialization. Its RowParallelLinear also has no return_bias; marked o_proj modules enter this wrapper and raise AttributeError at instance.return_bias. Pin a Qwen3-capable vLLM revision, raise the minimum version, or add version-specific handling.
