host_build_graph: time the prepare path from one rotating record pool

[ChaoWao]

Summary

The prepare path of host_build_graph is timed in two places — the bind stage's
segments, and the host orchestrator's submit-level operations inside it — and each
buffered its own copy. A level-4 run and a bind-breakdown run therefore recorded
the same submits twice: four clock reads per operation instead of two, on the path
whose millisecond budget is the thing being measured. Both now call one recorder.

One producer, two sinks, three views

HostPhaseRecord (32 B, kind-tagged) carries both populations on the host
monotonic clock the [STRACE] host spans use, so records and spans read against
each other with no alignment step. payload is kind-discriminated: a task id for
the three kinds that submit a task, a byte count on a transfer segment, else a
detail count.

host_phase_record(start, end, kind, payload, index)
  |-- counter[kind] += dur; count++        <- never reads the pool
  `-- host_phase_pool_append(pool, ...)
            |
      +-----+-----+
   reader 1     reader 2

• Per-kind counters, owned by the runtime, produce the LOG_TIMING breakdown.
  Exact whether or not records are kept, so the breakdown survives --rounds > 1,
  where every artifact collector is switched off.
• Reader 1 writes host_phase_records.jsonl for the host trace tooling.
• Reader 2 projects into the chip swimlane's two host lanes at level 4, joined
  to the device timeline through the existing clock anchors.

The pool is the same head + free_queue plumbing the device sched/orch pools
use, over host DDR: one buffer active, PLATFORM_PROF_SLOT_COUNT spares in the
free queue, rotation in buffer-index order so a reader recovers fill order from the
index. Geometry is sized for this producer rather than inherited from the device
one — a scheduler thread emits tens of thousands of records per run where an
orchestration pass emits a few hundred, so 1024 records over 5 buffers holds 5120
where PLATFORM_PHASE_RECORDS_PER_THREAD would have allocated 4 MB to hold 11 KB
and left the rotation path unreachable.

Arming is the union of the two enabling conditions, so a level-4 run collects
records with SIMPLER_HBG_BIND_BREAKDOWN_ENABLE unset and the variable collects
them with the level at 0. Content does not vary with which one armed the pass: a
reader's share is a projection at export, not a branch at record time, so the two
configurations measure the same overhead and their numbers are comparable.

Lifetime rules the two switches imply

A pass is armed at the first bind segment and must end on every exit from
bind, so a scope guard ends it — 15 of the 16 exits are return -1, and a bind
that fails part-way is exactly when its breakdown is worth having. An unfinished
pass publishes nothing.

The same reasoning puts the onboard artifact write in
teardown_shared_collectors_after_run, which a device error reaches and the reap
tail does not; it now behaves like the sibling diagnostics that already export
there. Sim keeps its write in the drain tail, where a runtime error skips every
collector alike.

Arming allocates, so it can throw, and both host_phase_pool_arm overrides are
noexcept — they catch and hand back a null pool, so a pass with no storage
collects no records rather than terminating the process. HostPhaseRecordStore is
neither copyable nor movable: pool_ holds raw pointers into buffers_ and the
producer holds &pool_, so a copy would alias the source's buffers and a move
would invalidate a pointer already handed out.

The transfers get a lane

graph_upload, sm_h2d and arena_h2d project onto their own swimlane lane with
byte counts, beside the device execution that waits on them — the half of
"orchestration plus H2D inside a millisecond" that previously had no view at all,
since a summed total cannot be placed on a timeline. On a 40-layer qwen decode the
lane immediately separates graph_upload (5.31 MB in 16.6 ms, 320 MB/s across 40
small uploads) from sm_h2d and arena_h2d (3.0 and 3.3 GB/s). The remaining bind
segments stay out of that file: they are host-only setup with no device
counterpart, and belong in the host trace tooling's view instead.

Consequences worth naming

• Completeness is per kind. The pool holds every timed operation, of which the
  task-submitting kinds are what the swimlane carries, so host_capture compares
  the pass's task count against that projection and reports the whole population as
  pool_records. Comparing the total would count each sub-operation of a submit as
  a submit.
• Records are stamped straight from the host monotonic clock rather than routed
  through the profiling counter's tick domain, so host_timestamp_quantization_ns
  is 0 rather than 20 on a 50 MHz part.
• HostApi loses its per-event entry (4 ops to 3): the runtime writes the pool
  directly through the inline path, and the interface carries only the once-per-pass
  arm and finish. The weak cross-boundary emit hook is gone too — the store writes
  its own artifact, holding both the records and the output directory.
• The bind breakdown's log writes move to the end of the pass, off the measured
  path, so each line carries its own start_ns; the emission timestamp no longer
  says when the segment ran. strace_timing.py gains --host-phase-records,
  replacing --orch-records.
• graph_submit_definition's per-submit record was redundant with the record both
  of its callers already take, and with it gone the CYCLE_COUNT machinery outside
  an ORCH_PROFILING build has no consumer left.
• PTO2OrchestratorState::chip_swimlane_level was write-only in this runtime even
  before this change — only the AICPU executor assigned it, and the gate that read
  it could not fire on the host. Both are removed; the level now reaches the arming
  decision on the platform side, where it is known.

Testing

• tests/ut/cpp/common/test_host_phase_records.cpp — 7 cases over rotation
  order, exact-fill, tail-loss on overflow, re-arm, and the submit projection
• tests/ut/py/test_strace_timing.py — 3 cases over the artifact loader's
  tolerance, the kind-to-depth nesting, and passes with no matching bind span
• cpput 101/101 (no_hardware), pyut 1525 passed
• Simulation tests pass — verification matrix on a2a3sim and a5sim
• Hardware tests pass — same matrix on a2a3 onboard via task-submit

The matrix covers the four switch combinations plus --rounds 3:

level	env	rounds	expected	observed
0	off	1	nothing, [STRACE] intact	pass
0	on	1	breakdown lines, no artifacts	pass
4	off	1	chip swimlane only, status=complete	pass
4	on	1	both, pool content identical to the row above	pass
0	on	3	lines x3, counters exact	pass

Two invariants demonstrated rather than argued:

• Content does not vary with which switch armed the pass — pool_records is
  identical between the level-4-only and both-on rows.
• The counters are independent of the pool — with the pool shrunk to 20
  records it dropped 8 of 28, and every per-kind total stayed identical to the
  non-overflow run while the swimlane reported status=dropped,
  error=pool_overflow.

On qwen3-14b decode (a2a3 onboard, batch 16 / seq 3500), before and after: every
event count identical (5 / 2 / 277 / 40 / 1, the submit kinds summing to
total_tasks 47), with the segments covering 99.93% of the bind stage.

The 16 report lines cost 33 us of measured wall time. The rest of the collection
cost is below the run-to-run variance of this measurement, so no net saving is
claimed from removing the duplicate recording.

The onboard matrix above ran against the pre-review commit; the review fixes were
pushed without re-running it locally, so CI's hardware jobs are the check on them.

Builds on #1846, which introduced the level-4 host capture and the clock
correlation this reuses. Resolves the dead orchestrator-phase gate noted in #1802.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 195c2

The change centralizes host timing collection and adds new trace/export paths, but several current-head failure and malformed-input paths can still drop diagnostic data, mis-associate a pass, skip upload-only output, or terminate a run through a no-throw path. The impact is bounded mainly to profiling and diagnostics, but these concrete correctness and availability risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Delete the copy and move operations of HostPhaseRecordStore.

arm() stores reinterpret_cast pointers to &buffers_[i] inside pool_, and it returns &pool_ to the producer. A copy therefore yields a store whose pool_ points into the source object's buffers, and a move invalidates the pointer the producer already holds. Both failures are silent. Delete the four operations so the compiler rejects them.

+    // pool_ holds raw pointers into buffers_, and the producer holds &pool_,

HostOrchPhase duplicates HostPhaseKind values as unchecked literals. Both orchestrator cores hardcode 12..16 because they also build for the AICPU, where the platform host headers are absent. Nothing detects drift, so a kind inserted before OrchSubmitTask would silently mislabel every orchestrator record and move the is_bind_kind() split.

[ChaoWao]

@coderabbitai all 8 addressed and folded into the single commit — 7 inline threads replied to and resolved individually, plus the store copy/move nitpick from the review body:

HostPhaseRecordStore copy/move deleted. Correct diagnosis: pool_ holds reinterpret_cast pointers into buffers_, and arm() hands &pool_ to the producer for the duration of the pass, so a copy aliases the source's buffers and a move invalidates a pointer already in use. Both silent. The four operations are now deleted with HostPhaseRecordStore() = default; restored, and the comment states why rather than leaving the reader to infer it from the reinterpret_cast.

Four of the eight were reachable bugs, and #4 (the pass armed at bind entry but ended only on the success return, past 15 intermediate return -1) was the one worth the review on its own — a failed bind published neither records nor breakdown lines, which is the run you most want them from.

Two — the has_any_records omission and the unreset invocation_id_ — describe failures that cannot fire today, and the replies say so explicitly rather than claiming a live fix: uploads only exist at level 4 where the clock session has already set the flag, and the runner only writes when finished(). Changed anyway, because in both cases the class invariant was weaker than the caller discipline it depended on.

One was partially declined with a reason: the device-error export is fixed for onboard, where both paths already funnel through teardown_shared_collectors_after_run and the sibling diagnostics export there. Sim keeps its write in the drain tail, because a runtime error there skips every collector — singling this one out would make it the lone exception, and fixing that properly means fixing it for all of them, outside this PR.

Verification after the fixes: cpput 101/101, pyut 1525 (3 new cases pinning the loader tolerance and the kind-to-depth nesting), and the a2a3sim matrix over all five switch combinations. The onboard matrix in the PR body ran against the pre-review commit, so CI's hardware jobs are the check on these.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@ChaoWao, thanks for the detailed follow-up.

The deleted copy and move operations correctly protect the HostPhaseRecordStore buffer-pointer invariant. The failed-bind lifecycle fix addresses the highest-impact issue.

The simulation device-error export limitation is a broader collector-path concern. It is reasonable to keep that work outside this PR. The remaining hardware CI jobs will validate the onboard changes after the review fixes.
