Adds the correctness.ptx-asm-operand-index review rule (part of #11244): in inline asm volatile blocks, verify every %N against its declared operand position (outputs first, then inputs) — the compiler only checks that %N is in range, not that it names the intended operand; watch for reads of output-only operands and off-by-one indices after reorders, and prefer tests that read back written values rather than a status. Distilled from #8403 (128-bit atomic CAS returning success while writing garbled data; introduced in #3440, reported as issue #8402).

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Added a review guideline for checking operand numbering against declaration order in inline PTX assembly.
  • Calls out output-only reads and off-by-one errors from reordered operands.
  • Recommends tests verify written values, not just status results.

Walkthrough

The review guidelines add correctness.ptx-asm-operand-index for validating numbered operands in inline PTX assembly, checking output-only reads and reordering, and testing written values.

Changes

PTX operand validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Operand index guideline docs/cccl/development/review_guidelines.md	Adds correctness.ptx-asm-operand-index. The rule covers output/input declaration order, output-only operand reads, reorder-related indexing errors, and tests that verify written values.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3d70c

The new critical rule may help reviewers catch misindexed PTX operands, but its required blind-test outcome is absent from the PR record. Document the result before merging so the rule’s effectiveness is reviewable.

AI failure analysis

1. WholeGraph rapids-cmake bootstrap download returned HTTP 504 · 1 job

Explanation: WholeGraph configuration failed before compilation because CMake FetchContent received an HTTP 504 while downloading rapids-cmake from GitHub. Other libraries completed and the PR changes only a review-guidelines document, so the evidence indicates a transient external download failure rather than a PR regression.

Evidence:

2026-09-21T14:51:25.4038769Z   The requested URL returned error: 504
2026-09-21T14:51:25.3995794Z     error: downloading 'https://github.com/rapidsai/rapids-cmake/archive/refs/heads/main.zip' failed

Verify the WholeGraph failure narrowly using the RAPIDS CUDA 13.3 configuration and confirm that the rapids-cmake archive is currently reachable, then rerun the failed job. Do not modify product code for a one-off HTTP 504. If the failure is reproducible or recurring, harden `.github/workflows/build-rapids.yml` by applying a small bounded retry, such as `ci/util/retry.sh 3 30`, specifically around each `configure-${lib}-cpp` invocation so transient FetchContent HTTP 5xx failures restart configuration without retrying expensive builds; preserve failure collection and run focused shell/pre-commit validation plus the WholeGraph-only configure path.

### AI failure analysis

1. RAPIDS MPF configuration cannot find the KvikIO CMake package · 1 job

Explanation: KvikIO compiles successfully, but the CCCL RAPIDS workflow invokes only each repository's configure and build helpers, without installing or exposing KvikIO's generated package configuration before configuring RAPIDS MPF. The PR changes only documentation, so the evidence indicates an unrelated upstream third-party integration failure.

Evidence:

2026-09-23T18:16:00.3816116Z   Could not find a package configuration file provided by "kvikio" with any
2026-09-23T18:16:00.3819061Z   /home/coder/rapidsmpf/cmake/thirdparty/get_kvikio.cmake:8 (rapids_find_package)

Failure group: RAPIDS MPF configuration cannot find the KvikIO CMake package

Fix the KvikIO-to-RAPIDS-MPF dependency handoff in `.github/workflows/build-rapids.yml`. Reproduce narrowly in the CUDA 13.3 RAPIDS container with `RAPIDS_LIBS='kvikio rapidsmpf'`, verify where KvikIO generates `kvikio-config.cmake` and whether rapids-build-utils provides an install helper, then ensure KvikIO is installed into `$CONDA_PREFIX` or its package directory is added to `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`/`kvikio_DIR` before `configure-rapidsmpf-cpp`. Prefer a general post-build install step only if it is safe for every library in the loop; otherwise special-case the dependency handoff. Implement the fix and run focused validation that builds KvikIO and configures/builds RAPIDS MPF with both `RAPIDS_ENABLE_TESTS=OFF` and `ON`.
