Description

Stage-selection flags such as /bot run --stage-list and --extra-stage currently bypass CBTS. Keep CBTS active with command flags, and apply its stage selection as an intersection with the command-selected scope. A null decision or selector failure runs the full selected scope without adding stages outside it.

Python returns candidate stages across pre-merge and Post-Merge without a trigger-mode filter; Jenkins no longer sends a post_merge selector input. Groovy owns the command-selected execution scope, including explicitly selected Post-Merge and OnDemand stages. Match original stage names despite the -cbts suffix. With explicit --stage-list or --extra-stage, collect the full source test list, preserve its original durations-based shard assignment, then intersect that shard with CBTS-selected cases. Original group IDs and split counts remain unchanged; empty intersections succeed without running tests. Ordinary and sbatch paths both support this intersection. Runs without explicit stage selection retain CBTS split-count optimization.

Preserve the explicit --disable-cbts switch, official post-merge and infrastructure dry-run bypasses, coverage rollout, and auto-trigger retention within the selected scope. Coverage-based case selection remains single-GPU only. Multi-GPU stages already present in the command-selected scope are retained at baseline; this change does not add multi-GPU case selection or expand the selected scope.

VisualGen public API selection no longer depends on trigger mode: required CPU and serving checks must exist and map to candidate stages, including Post-Merge, OnDemand and multi-GPU candidates. Missing or filtered required checks still force fallback. Removed the obsolete PRInputs.post_merge field and dryrun --post-merge mode; dryrun reports all candidate stages without simulating downstream scheduling.

Multi-GPU scheduling is intentionally baseline-scoped: on bare /bot run, a Tier 1 hit cannot add multi-GPU stages excluded by file-change/auto-trigger baseline rules. The full-pre-merge approval label authorizes dispatch but does not add work. Tier 2 enable_multi_gpu=true conservatively retains baseline multi-GPU work, including Post-Merge PerfSanity stages already selected by the command, with original case lists. Coverage auto-trigger retention and null-decision fallback remain within that scope. README documents these differences from the previous full-inventory CBTS filter.

Validation

  • Current head: cad3f37fbc. Temporary noop exceptions, tensor-cache capacity changes and the Groovy test harness have been removed; meaningful VisualGen regression tests remain.
  • 183 related CBTS tests passed. Nine local checks using real pytest-split and the repository test-list parser verified original-shard intersections, empty intersections and node prefixes across three groups.
  • Repository pre-commit and DCO checks passed.
  • Latest scoped Jenkins build #69734 passed: CBTS executed and fell back for pipeline/conftest infrastructure changes; both requested A10 stages actually ran from the source test-db and passed; SBSA selected no stages.
  • Earlier hit-path build #69517 passed with a temporary probe, which was subsequently reverted. It predates the original-shard-preservation fix; that latest intersection path has been validated locally, not yet in Jenkins.
  • Standard pre-merge CI is being requested on the current head. Merge remains pending formal CI and reviewer approval.

PR Checklist

  • Coding guidelines followed; documentation updated.
  • No temporary test bypasses or probe changes remain.
  • No product public API, dependency or ownership changes.

Dev Engineer Review

CBTS stays enabled when users pass --stage-list or --extra-stage. CBTS narrows cases within the command-selected stage set and does not add stages. Null decisions and selector failures fall back to that same scope. Python returns candidate stages across pre-merge and Post-Merge. Jenkins no longer sends post_merge to the selector, and the trigger-mode filter is removed.

Behavior changes to verify:

  • _cbtsTriggeredUserFlags and its deferral check are removed. Bare /bot run and explicit stage selections now take different paths. Confirm that explicit stage filters do not add stages outside the selected scope.
  • filterCbtsStageJobs changes signature from (parallelJobs, parallelJobsFiltered, multiGpuJobs, testFilter) to (parallelJobsFiltered, testFilter). Confirm all callers use the new signature.
  • Stage configuration keys are added to fullSet before CBTS renames them. Shard resizing depends on this ordering. Confirm that mixed pre-merge and Post-Merge selections keep shard IDs correct.
  • Narrowed shards are resized only for full-scope runs. Explicit stage selections keep original shard assignments, and --cbts-test-list is applied after splitting.
  • dryrun.py drops the post_merge parameter from main. Confirm no callers still pass it.
  • VisualGenRule.apply checks required validation against all stages, including OnDemand, Post-Merge, and GPU stages. The removed filter no longer limits these checks.
  • The author validated the latest original-shard-preservation intersection path locally only. Jenkins build #69517 predates that fix. Build #69734 passed.

QA Engineer Review

Test files changed:

  • tests/integration/defs/conftest.py (modified): adds --cbts-test-list. The list is parsed and validated against the full collection, then intersected with the original shard after splitting. Removed items are reported as deselected. At session finish, NO_TESTS_COLLECTED becomes OK only when this filtering empties the shard and no tests fail.
  • tests/unittest/scripts/cbts/test_p0_selection.py (modified): three A10 candidate-stage names are parameterized and expected to pass without post_merge. Tests that expected baseline mode to fail and post-merge mode to succeed are removed.

Test IDs and waivers changed: not discoverable beyond the test names above.

Coverage gaps:

  • No new test covers the --cbts-test-list empty-shard path or the NO_TESTS_COLLECTED to OK transition.
  • The author reports 183 related CBTS tests passed. Standard pre-merge CI is pending.
  • Whether the changed integration tests appear in test-db/ or qa/ lists is not established.

Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • AGENTS.md: Documents that CBTS stays enabled with stage-selection flags. Verify the guidance matches command behavior.
  • jenkins/L0_MergeRequest.groovy: Removes the user-flag deferral and the post_merge selector input. Verify that null decisions and selector failures keep the command-selected scope, and that existing bypasses still work.
  • jenkins/L0_Test.groovy: Changes stage filtering and shard resizing, and adds suffix-aware pattern matching. Verify explicit stage selection, coverage auto-trigger, multi-GPU and sanity-stage handling, and shard repartitioning.
  • jenkins/scripts/cbts/README.md: Updates activation, fallback, and scheduling documentation. Verify it matches Jenkins behavior.
  • jenkins/scripts/cbts/cbts/command/main.py: Removes trigger-mode filtering and its diagnostics. Verify downstream scheduling handles candidates from both pre-merge and Post-Merge.
  • jenkins/scripts/cbts/cbts/command/dryrun.py: Removes the --post-merge option. Verify dry-run replays still run and write indexes correctly.
  • jenkins/scripts/cbts/cbts/coverage/tier.py: Stops excluding dropped Post-Merge stages. The multi-GPU exclusion remains. Verify drop decisions match the intended selected-stage scope.
  • jenkins/scripts/cbts/cbts/rules/visual_gen.py: Resolves required checks against all stages. Verify VisualGen required-check selection under both trigger modes.
  • jenkins/scripts/cbts/cbts/rules/base.py and rules/README.md: Remove PRInputs.post_merge and update the documentation. Verify no remaining readers of the field.
  • tests/integration/defs/conftest.py: Adds --cbts-test-list filtering and empty-shard status handling. Verify that the empty-shard OK status applies only when this filtering empties the shard.
  • tests/unittest/scripts/cbts/test_p0_selection.py: Accepts three A10 candidate stages without post_merge. Removes the baseline-versus-post-merge mode tests. Verify the remaining cases still cover the selector's mode handling.

Walkthrough

CBTS now returns stage candidates without trigger-mode filtering. Jenkins applies the command-selected stage scope, manages shard assignments, and passes narrowed test lists to pytest for filtering after shard splitting.

Changes

CBTS command scope and stage filtering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Return stage candidates without trigger-mode filtering
jenkins/L0_MergeRequest.groovy, jenkins/scripts/cbts/cbts/command/*, jenkins/scripts/cbts/cbts/coverage/tier.py, jenkins/scripts/cbts/cbts/rules/*, jenkins/scripts/cbts/README.md, tests/unittest/scripts/cbts/test_p0_selection.py
The post_merge input and trigger-mode stage filtering were removed. Jenkins no longer defers CBTS when stage-selection flags are set, and fallback messages refer to command-selected stages. VisualGen validation resolves against all candidate stages.
Filter command-selected jobs and manage shard scope
jenkins/L0_Test.groovy, jenkins/scripts/cbts/README.md, AGENTS.md
Jenkins filters the command-selected jobs and retains eligible stages. Explicit stage selections preserve shard assignments; full-scope runs can resize narrowed shards. Stage configuration keys are captured before resizing. Documentation describes the scope and shard behavior.
Apply CBTS test lists after shard splitting
tests/integration/defs/conftest.py
Pytest intersects each original shard with the CBTS test list after splitting. It reports deselected tests and marks a shard with no remaining tests as successful only when no tests fail.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to cad3f

Narrowed stage runs can fail spuriously: shards that CBTS correctly empties are reported as failures in the ordinary runner, and narrowed sbatch stages fail before running tests because the CBTS list is deleted. Fix both before merging, or avoid explicit stage selection with CBTS until they are fixed.

Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to cad3f

The selected execution scope remains bounded, but two lifecycle inconsistencies can make targeted validation fail instead of completing successfully. No new privilege-escalation path was established. Incomplete security coverage limits confidence.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · architecture · observed: The new successful-empty state does not survive the ordinary runner boundary. Pytest permits an empty CBTS intersection, and collection returns zero regular and isolated cases, but the existing Groovy guard then raises “No tests were executed.” Explicit selection previously bypassed CBTS; this PR makes legitimate empty intersections reach that guard, disrupting targeted validation rather than completing the documented no-op.
  • Medium · architecture · inferred: The new remote .cbts selection companion is copied into the job-workspace root and referenced by pytest, but is absent from the submission cleanup keep-list. Fresh submissions and resubmissions past the active-job reuse branch therefore delete the required file before execution. Collection is expected to fail when opening that path; recopying on retry does not resolve the ordering because submission cleans it again. This breaks selection-state ownership across preparation, cleanup and execution.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified failures are scoped to selected CI jobs using the new case-intersection path. They affect validation availability and execution-state handling; the inspected paths do not demonstrate access to additional stages, tenants or environments.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Candidate selection is no longer the trigger-mode enforcement boundary. Groovy applies explicit command selection first, then CBTS filters that selected map. Sanity, coverage auto-trigger and enabled multi-GPU retention operate within that map rather than adding jobs from the full universe.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The empty-success override is limited to NO_TESTS_COLLECTED with the CBTS-empty flag and no failed tests. A missing companion instead raises during file parsing, so the identified SLURM deletion is not silently converted into successful validation by this override.

Explanation

The title names the main change: CBTS (the test-selection system) now keeps stage selection within the stages chosen by the command's flags. The changeset matches this, including removal of the trigger-mode filter, the intersection with command-selected stages, and the fallback that stays within that scope. The title is specific and uses the repository's [None][infra] format.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template in substance. It has a Description section explaining the issue and the solution, and a Validation section that covers test coverage in detail. It also has a PR checklist with completed items. The template's Test Coverage heading is not present as its own section, but the Validation section lists the relevant tests and results. The description does not set out the template's title format beyond the title itself, and it does not mention the @coderabbitai summary line, which is optional. The description is detailed and matches the changeset.

Making CBTS narrow within the command-selected scope, instead of switching off whenever a flag is present, is a clear rule and easy to explain to users. The inline comments cover the specific defects. One point about the PR as a whole:

  • Behavior change missing from the description. The old filter selected affected stages from parallelJobs, so on bare /bot run, pre-merge multi-GPU stages that CBTS marked affected ran even when MULTI_GPU_FILE_CHANGED was false. Now they are intersected with parallelJobsFiltered, which leaves out multi-GPU unless a multi-GPU file changed, so those stages are dropped. A test-only edit to a multi-GPU accuracy test now runs nothing multi-GPU. If this is intended (matching the non-CBTS baseline), say so in the description and README. If not, keep affected multiGpuJobs in the candidate set.

Regarding the baseline multi-GPU behavior noted in #21982 (review): this change is intentional and is now explicit in the README and PR description (cad3f37). On bare /bot run, existing file-change rules and auto-trigger tags establish the eligible pre-merge scope first. A Tier 1 multi-GPU hit alone no longer adds stages outside that baseline. The full-pre-merge approval label authorizes dispatch; it does not add work. Tier 2 retains eligible multi-GPU work because it cannot coverage-narrow those cases. Explicit command flags determine their own scope, and CBTS only narrows within it.

Handle empty CBTS intersections in the ordinary runner.

If the selected cases belong only to another original shard, this collection returns no items. processShardTestList then returns both counts as zero. runLLMTestlistOnPlatformImpl reaches Line 6690 and fails with "No tests were executed". The pytest exit-status conversion does not prevent this Groovy failure.

Propagate an intentional-empty-CBTS result to the runner. Treat that result as success and ensure final result reporting accepts the no-op. Keep failures for unexpected empty collections.

Preserve the remote CBTS list during sbatch cleanup.

The companion file is copied here, and Line 2830 passes its path to pytest. However, filesToKeepWhenRetry includes only testListPathNode, not "${testListPathNode}.cbts". The generated submit script deletes the companion file at Line 3201 before the first submission and each resubmission. Pytest then cannot open --cbts-test-list, so explicit narrowed sbatch stages fail before running tests.

Add the companion path to filesToKeepWhenRetry when the companion file exists.

There is still a runner-side gap in the successful-empty-intersection behavior on the current head (cad3f37). The pytest hook handles this case, but the ordinary runner does not yet carry that meaning through execution and result reporting.

For example, suppose a stage family has three original shards, the command explicitly selects only shard 2, and all CBTS-selected cases belong to original shards 1 and 3. Preserving the original assignment correctly leaves shard 2 with an empty intersection. Per the intended behavior in the description, this should be a successful no-op.

The current path is:

  1. pytest_collection_modifyitems() applies the CBTS intersection after pytest-split and sets _cbts_empty_shard when no items remain. pytest_sessionfinish() then converts NO_TESTS_COLLECTED to OK, provided there are no test failures.

  2. processShardTestList() accepts that successful collection, finds no remaining node IDs, and returns regularCount=0 and isolateCount=0.

  3. runLLMTestlistOnPlatformImpl() consequently sets both noRegularTests and noIsolateTests, then reaches the existing unconditional guard at L6689:

    if (noRegularTests && noIsolateTests) {
        error "No tests were executed for stage ${stageName}, please check the test list and test-db rendering result."
    }

As a result, a valid empty CBTS intersection is reported as a stage failure. This affects the ordinary K8S runner and the SLURM Jenkins-agent path, which also calls runLLMTestlistOnPlatformImpl(). The native sbatch path is separate and does not use this particular guard.

Simply removing the guard would also leave a reporting issue: the ordinary/agent cleanup paths remove a results.xml that contains no <testcase> (K8S cleanup, SLURM-agent cleanup), while cacheErrorAndUploadResult() subsequently calls junit without allowEmptyResults. A successful no-op therefore needs explicit handling through the reporting layer as well, so it does not turn into a missing-results failure.

Could we propagate a distinct, validated “empty because of the CBTS intersection” outcome from collection to the runner and result reporting, and treat only that outcome as a successful no-op? The existing failures for an unexpectedly empty source list, collection errors, and real test failures should remain intact.

For validation, it would be useful to exercise an explicit shard selection with both an empty and a non-empty CBTS intersection through the ordinary/agent runner, including final stage status and JUnit reporting, and confirm that genuine collection/source-list failures still fail. I reproduced the pytest-side empty-intersection exit code of 0 using real pytest-split and the repository test-list parser; the runner failure above is from tracing the Groovy call path, rather than an end-to-end Jenkins reproduction. The successful scoped build #69734 exercised selector fallback, so it does not validate this intersection branch.

  • If needed, ask a member of NVIDIA/trt-llm-ci-approvers to add the label manually.
    Then re-trigger CI with the same bot command (no rebase needed).

⚠️ Action Required:

  • Please check the failed tests and fix your PR
  • If you cannot view the failures, ask the CI triggerer to share details
  • Once fixed, request an NVIDIA team member to trigger CI again
