Add an experimental, opt-in completed-prefix provider to the Python executor. A completed decoder can hold its actual V2 allocation and return an immutable engine-issued reference for a later context request. Ordinary requests and omitted configuration retain the existing behavior.
The provider resolves peers from administrator configuration and validates exact tokens, loaded model identity, cache layout, worker generation and all-rank coverage. It reuses existing page mapping, native NIXL sessions and physical retirement. The destination cursor advances only after verified writes, drained resources and native closure. Expiry prevents new claims while existing readers retain ownership; caller references contain no transport addresses or physical coordinates.
The supported experimental admission remains GPU-only V2 with block reuse enabled, PP/attention-DP/CP=1, one beam and no speculation, adapters or unqualified auxiliary/host/disk state. It does not implement KVCR/shared-store transport or establish an RDMA route. Companion HTTP boundary: ai-dynamo/dynamo#18375.
Review update
Merged current main e3c25b0cfb55f635adcf8bfaa58f2663b147b9d5 without rewriting the published commits. Retained-operation certificate checks now require one complete GPU-only transfer span. The sender constructs a fresh canonical grouping after validation, preventing changed memory types, omitted/overlapping ranges or later grouping mutations from changing the certified operation. Ordinary mixed-memory requests retain main's behavior. Destination quarantine and main's generation-termination deferral both protect request ownership. The normal provider suite adds regression methods for generation deferral and ordinary teardown, and strengthens the quarantine case. These suites are selected by the existing CPU CI list through unittest/_torch/pyexecutor and unittest/disaggregated.
Validation
Current head d75d246fa4a905d47897e0ebe9ade85c55b9f8f0:
Applicable scoped pre-commit hooks pass, including modern/legacy formatting and lint, vendor/version checks and test-list validation. Pyrefly itself is unavailable locally; its advisory wrapper returning success is not a type-check result.
Bounded execution of the exact changed group-check/descriptor-construction source passes two full-GPU/default cases, 12 rejected group variants, an auxiliary reinterpretation rejection, post-check grouping/type mutation and an unchanged ordinary mixed-memory case. Rank deserialization and native descriptors are scaffolded; this is not normal-package, native-mapper, GPU or serving qualification. Four normal coverage regression methods exercise the actual builder path when run with the matching framework.
Three source-extracted termination-control cases pass. This checks the exact merged methods and repository case bodies without importing the complete framework; it is not a normal matching-package, native, GPU or serving pass.
Python 3.12 syntax checks cover all 25 changed Python files. Both changed JSON snapshots parse; the generator's version-only --sync-version --check passes.
Full golden-manifest and serving-schema checks could not run in this host's incomplete native environment (missing vendored Triton kernels / installed TensorRT-LLM). Generated snapshots were not hand-edited. The top-level retained config is telemetry=False, which excludes its subtree from telemetry capture; matching-build generation/checks and privacy review remain required.
Fresh exact-head framework/native CI is required. No previous runtime or image result is credited to this merged head.
Historical exact head 2abaeac8af295b48104ddfacbfc03b82474e6fc9: available ARM JUnit reports 37 of the original 115 retained-prefix cases passed; the remaining 78 are unreported. Both ARM and x86 reports contain zero failed assertions, but the jobs did not complete successfully. Recovered Jenkins logs show parent/x86 FlowNode resume failures and an ARM agent-offline connection failure, with package-sanity stages marked infrastructure-incomplete. These interruptions do not establish complete CI or correctness. Parent 68777 and ARM 9860 retain the original results.
Qualification and review requirements
Keep this PR in Draft while the documented end-to-end and native-lifetime qualification gaps remain open. The implementation is experimental and disabled by default. API/telemetry/privacy CODEOWNER review and the maintainer-applied api-compatible label remain required before merge. A complete loaded-model prefill-to-decode-to-next-prefill cycle, source-pressure/in-flight cancellation, topology/physical-route, checkpoint quality and performance qualification remain open. Earlier CPU or synthetic component evidence does not satisfy those requirements. Full MiniMax-M3 support remains blocked by its block-reuse restriction and unqualified sparse-state semantics; CUDA-graph and arbitrary asymmetric ordinary-forward compatibility are not established.
PR Checklist
Reviewed the repository checklist and coding guidelines. Optional APIs remain prototype/default-None; administrator fields are excluded from telemetry. API reference declarations, generated snapshots, tests and product documentation are included. Pending matching-build checks and reviewer approvals are identified above.
Please check this after reviewing the above items as appropriate for this PR.
No new package dependencies or ownership changes.
Dev Engineer Review
Adds an opt-in native completed-prefix provider for Python disaggregated serving.
Adds configuration, schema validation, identity manifests, export/import ownership, native transfer admission, coverage certification, expiry, and shutdown handling.
Preserves ordinary behavior when the feature is omitted. Unsupported configurations fail closed.
Adds strict validation for model identity, cache layout, topology, generations, ranks, devices, and certified write coverage.
Changes public constructor and configuration APIs. The API reference marks the new argument as prototype.
The implementation adds 6,520 lines across 30 files, with most code in native transfer, coverage, provider, and identity handling.
The feature remains experimental. Full native, GPU, serving, performance, topology, and loaded-model cycle qualification remain pending.
No evidence establishes support for KVCR, RDMA routing, CUDA graphs, arbitrary asymmetric forwards, or full MiniMax-M3 operation.
QA Engineer Review
Added eight unit and API-stability test files.
Tests cover model identity, runtime identity, suffix input handling, retained coverage, provider lifecycle, retained-result tokens, and the new API reference.
Tests cover malformed metadata, replay, ownership transitions, rank divergence, coverage holes and overlaps, invalid descriptors, checkpoint changes, and request validation.
No test IDs, selectors, waivers, or tests/integration/test_lists/ files changed.
No changed test file has a matching entry in the test-db/ or qa/ lists.
Reported validation does not establish complete native, GPU, serving, or full end-to-end correctness.
Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.

Maintainer actions needed while this remains draft: apply api-compatible for the optional default-None prototype addition, and arrange noncommitted-API plus telemetry/privacy CODEOWNER review. Both the connector and my CLI account lack label/reviewer-request permissions. Standard /bot run has been requested above. The documented multi-GPU pipeline also requires approval from the CI approver team and the protected ci: full pre-merge approved label; I have not applied or bypassed that approval. Latest native-head tests and full Qwen cycle remain pending, as recorded in the validation table.
Exact-head follow-up (2026-11-08): please share the failing-test IDs/logs and required-tier status for head 2abaeac8af295b48104ddfacbfc03b82474e6fc9, helper 83233 / pipeline 68777. Bounded diagnostic reads have not exposed the final failure cause; I have not assumed an infrastructure or code cause or repeatedly retriggered CI. Please arrange an authorized exact-head rerun after the diagnostics and protected approvals are resolved. The complete Qwen P→D→next-P cycle and full M3 qualification are still pending, so this remains draft.
This change adds experimental native retained-prefix export and import to the Python/NIXL disaggregated executor. It adds configuration and request metadata, model identity checks, certified native KV transfer, provider lifecycle management, executor wiring, tests, and documentation.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to d75d2
The experimental retained-prefix path has several failure modes that should be fixed before merge. An ordinary expired capability or an invalid reference can stop the destination executor. Postprocessed exports are not visible on the public result metadata. The control channel has no authentication or encryption. Default behavior without the opt-in configuration is unchanged.
Security architecture risk: High · up to d75d2
Enabling this feature creates a new authorization boundary whose access references travel without built-in authentication or encryption. Observed claim credentials can also authorize premature retirement. Existing lifetime safeguards limit unsafe resource reuse, but do not protect the confidentiality of these credentials or establish who sent a control request.
Retained concerns
High · security · observed: The newly enabled control channel sends complete retained capabilities and claim metadata as JSON over TCP without built-in authentication or encryption. An observer of that channel obtains authorization-bearing values, while administrator-configured peer aliases constrain routing rather than authenticate the connecting caller. Effective exposure depends on deployment network access; arbitrary external redemption or unrestricted KV disclosure is not established.
Low · security · observed: A client that can reach the control endpoint and has observed a valid capability, identity, and admitted nonce can submit finish without proving ownership of that claim. Acceptance retires the entire export and prevents subsequent claims, rather than affecting only the identified consumer. Native drain and closure gates remain intact, so this supports an availability and authorization concern, not a demonstrated early-free or memory-corruption path.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — A forged finish directly affects the identified export and its future consumers across participating ranks. Targeting additional exports requires their corresponding capability and admitted nonce. Existing native readers remain protected by drain gates. The inspected path does not establish arbitrary endpoint redirection, page release while readers are active, or exposure of unrelated data stores or infrastructure privileges.
observed — Failure containment can extend beyond one import: an uncertain source-admission outcome marks the destination connector failed and requires process restart while retaining pending resources. This protects memory ownership at the cost of executor-level availability.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
observed — The retained capability-disclosure finding applies to the newly added control boundary: complete capabilities and claim metadata are sent without built-in channel protection. Exploitation requires traffic visibility or equivalent access; actual production reachability and external encryption are not established. Peer-map and content checks narrow subsequent use but do not make the transmitted values confidential.
observed — The retained broken-authorization finding follows from observing an admitted nonce and its capability, then presenting those values in finish from another reachable client. The check verifies admitted-claim membership, not claimant identity; successful processing globally retires the export. Replay receipts are idempotent, but that does not authenticate the first caller.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Administrator peer maps control where transfers may be routed. Matching pending-import state, independent identity checks, and whole-cohort coverage constrain stale, mismatched, or redirected requests. These are state and operation-validity controls, not cryptographic authentication of the client connecting to the control endpoint.
observed — Native-write certificates require exact destination-region coverage by the authorized writer cohort and bind the checked operation to frozen pointers, peer registration metadata, devices, and a complete VRAM-to-VRAM span. These controls protect the admitted write contract; they do not establish confidentiality or caller identity for control messages.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The ownership transition preserves physical containment through partial admission, cancellation, expiry, repetition, and shutdown: partial senders are cancelled without immediate page release, source claims close only after drain, destination uncertainty retains quarantine, and outstanding ownership prevents shutdown. This is strong counterevidence against interpreting unauthorized finish as permission to recycle live GPU buffers.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Protect the control channel with mutually authenticated encryption, bind mutation authority to the intended claimant, and explicitly authorize export-wide retirement separately from per-claim completion. Preserve the existing coverage, quarantine, drain, and closure gates. Any reliance on external channel protection should be an explicit, validated deployment prerequisite.

The `create_response` path must attach `py_retained_export` only when `is_final` is true.

No test covers the retained five-frame CANCEL_SESSION checks
This hunk adds new rules to Sender._handle_cancel_session:
Reject a retained cancel that does not have five frames.
Reject a five-frame cancel for a non-retained ID.
Reject a cancel whose destination proof does not match.
Queue the quiescence fence for a retained five-frame cancel.
Receiver._handle_cancel_session (Lines 3833-3846) and send_cancel_to_senders (Lines 3767-3778) have matching new rules. The new tests cover only KV result frames and RecvReqInfo parsing.
Without tests, a regression could go unnoticed in two ways:
The sender accepts a forged or missing proof and cancels a retained session.
The sender rejects a valid cancel. Then the destination never gets SESSION_QUIESCED and stays quarantined.
Add parameterized cases to tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_native_retained_result_tokens.py. Use a Sender.__new__ fixture with a seeded _retained_proofs. Check that 2- and 4-frame messages for a retained ID, and 5-frame messages with a wrong proof, change no state. Check that a matching 5-frame message adds the ID to _pre_cancelled_rids and calls _queue_session_quiesced. Add the mirror cases for Receiver.

Full checkpoint hashing runs on every executor rank.
NativeRetainedPrefix.__init__ calls verify_retained_model_identity on every rank. Each rank therefore reads and hashes every checkpoint member. For TP8 on one node, that is eight concurrent full reads of a checkpoint that can be several terabytes, from the same read-only mount. This cost is in addition to model loading. Ranks that share a node and mount could split the member hashing and allgather the digests, or one rank per node could hash and broadcast. The comparison step stays the same. You could also run the cheap snapshot_effective_config comparison before the hashing loop so that config mismatches fail fast.

`NativeRetainedPrefixConfig` is an optional prototype field on `LlmArgs`. It contains this engine's opaque peer alias, a full immutable checkpoint/effective-model manifest and its SHA256, a local control endpoint, reciprocal trusted peer endpoints, and bounded export/claim leases. Endpoint and manifest fields are excluded from telemetry. They are administrator configuration; requests cannot supply transport addresses or physical buffer coordinates.
The manifest must be built from the actual final native executor and the complete immutable checkpoint/tokenizer inventory. The implementation verifies the real native loader, resolved model configuration, owned attention registry and all manifest members. A caller-provided model name or digest is insufficient. Unknown effective state fails closed. Capacity and scheduling differences do not authorize differences in model semantics. This change does not add a public manifest-generation HTTP endpoint.

Document how to create and configure the required manifest.
An operator cannot complete the documented opt-in from these instructions. model_manifest must be a file path, and model_identity must be the SHA256 returned by build_retained_model_manifest(executor, output_path). Add a preparation procedure for a loaded executor and a read-only checkpoint. Show how to place the output file outside the checkpoint root and use both returned values in the worker configuration.

Retained proof tombstones grow without bound and permanently disable retained admission
setup_session adds one _retained_proofs entry per certified destination rank and one _retained_request_ids entry per claim. No code path removes these entries: clear_session and session close leave them in place.
With TP8, each claim adds 8 proofs. After about 8,192 lifetime claims, every new retained TxSession raises "retained native proof tombstone budget exhausted". The only recovery is a process restart. Receiver.setup_session (Lines 3402-3408) has the same 65,536-ID limit.
A long-running server can reach this limit during normal operation. In native_retained_prefix.py Lines 1221-1232, the destination treats any admit error as fatal. Each later import attempt therefore also stops the destination executor.
Use one of these fixes:
Keep the fence only as long as a late frame can arrive. Bound it by the session's retirement plus the stale-request TTL, and evict entries after close() succeeds.
Use a generation-scoped rejection rule that does not require one entry per claim.

Update the retained-proof tombstone handling in setup_session so entries are evicted only after the session is retired and the stale-request window has expired, preserving rejection of late frames without exhausting the lifetime budget.

Authenticate and encrypt the retained control channel
A network observer can capture a capability and nonce from plaintext control traffic. They can use them to retrieve a pending snapshot or retire an admitted export early. If another prepared import is then rejected at admission, its destination executor requires a restart.
Use ZMQ CURVE or mTLS, and authorize prepared and other control actions against the authenticated peer’s configured identity.

Handle this admission error per request on all ranks. Release or revert its destination reservation before continuing. Add a regression test that checks an invalid identity fails only its request and leaves the executor able to serve another request.

Handle proven pre-admission rejections without fail-stop
If the lease expires between claim and admit, the source can reject admit before queuing it. The destination then requires an executor restart, although no sender was admitted and session.receive() has not run.
Distinguish a proven pre-admission rejection from an uncertain outcome. For a proven rejection, safely close the unpublished receiver and unwind the destination reservation without fail-stopping the executor. Keep fail-stop for uncertain outcomes: other error replies can follow partial sender admission.

Preserve the tokenizer path for retained identity checks.
If the caller specifies the checkpoint root as tokenizer, argument validation replaces the path with a loaded tokenizer object. snapshot_effective_config then rejects it, so manifest generation and provider startup can fail. The default tokenizer=None is not affected.
Retain and check the original tokenizer path without accepting unqualified external tokenizer state. Add a test with a validated TorchLlmArgs using the checkpoint root as its tokenizer path.

Add accepted and rejected YAML cases for native_retained_prefix.
The new serving field and its nested constraints have no specific case in tests/unittest/llmapi/test_trtllm_serve_config_schemas.py.

Add a minimal valid case and representative invalid cases for both serving schemas, including a disaggregated worker block. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Description
Add an experimental, opt-in completed-prefix provider to the Python executor. A completed decoder can hold its actual V2 allocation and return an immutable engine-issued reference for a later context request. Ordinary requests and omitted configuration retain the existing behavior.
The provider resolves peers from administrator configuration and validates exact tokens, loaded model identity, cache layout, worker generation and all-rank coverage. It reuses existing page mapping, native NIXL sessions and physical retirement. The destination cursor advances only after verified writes, drained resources and native closure. Expiry prevents new claims while existing readers retain ownership; caller references contain no transport addresses or physical coordinates.
The supported experimental admission remains GPU-only V2 with block reuse enabled, PP/attention-DP/CP=1, one beam and no speculation, adapters or unqualified auxiliary/host/disk state. It does not implement KVCR/shared-store transport or establish an RDMA route. Companion HTTP boundary: ai-dynamo/dynamo#18375.
Review update
Merged current main
e3c25b0cfb55f635adcf8bfaa58f2663b147b9d5without rewriting the published commits. Retained-operation certificate checks now require one complete GPU-only transfer span. The sender constructs a fresh canonical grouping after validation, preventing changed memory types, omitted/overlapping ranges or later grouping mutations from changing the certified operation. Ordinary mixed-memory requests retain main's behavior. Destination quarantine and main's generation-termination deferral both protect request ownership. The normal provider suite adds regression methods for generation deferral and ordinary teardown, and strengthens the quarantine case. These suites are selected by the existing CPU CI list throughunittest/_torch/pyexecutorandunittest/disaggregated.Validation

2abaeac8af295b48104ddfacbfc03b82474e6fc9: available ARM JUnit reports 37 of the original 115 retained-prefix cases passed; the remaining 78 are unreported. Both ARM and x86 reports contain zero failed assertions, but the jobs did not complete successfully. Recovered Jenkins logs show parent/x86 FlowNode resume failures and an ARM agent-offline connection failure, with package-sanity stages marked infrastructure-incomplete. These interruptions do not establish complete CI or correctness. Parent 68777 and ARM 9860 retain the original results.Qualification and review requirements
Keep this PR in Draft while the documented end-to-end and native-lifetime qualification gaps remain open. The implementation is experimental and disabled by default. API/telemetry/privacy CODEOWNER review and the maintainer-applied
api-compatiblelabel remain required before merge. A complete loaded-model prefill-to-decode-to-next-prefill cycle, source-pressure/in-flight cancellation, topology/physical-route, checkpoint quality and performance qualification remain open. Earlier CPU or synthetic component evidence does not satisfy those requirements. Full MiniMax-M3 support remains blocked by its block-reuse restriction and unqualified sparse-state semantics; CUDA-graph and arbitrary asymmetric ordinary-forward compatibility are not established.PR Checklist
Reviewed the repository checklist and coding guidelines. Optional APIs remain prototype/default-None; administrator fields are excluded from telemetry. API reference declarations, generated snapshots, tests and product documentation are included. Pending matching-build checks and reviewer approvals are identified above.
