Summary

The host-phase record store and the clock-correlation provider were one per runner, but their lifetime is one per run: armed during a host-orchestrating bind, read at that run's teardown. A bind is preparation, and a prepared successor prepares while its predecessor is still executing — so the successor's bind reset the store its predecessor had finished and was waiting to publish, and released the provider whose session that predecessor was still running under.

Closes #2203. Removes the exclusion #2201 put in place instead of fixing it.

Why this could not follow #2163 / #2200

Those moved collector state under the execution claim. This cannot: the records describe the bind, and the HostOrchestrationBegin anchor means the instant host orchestration began. Deferring either to launch would record something else.

So the state is held per slot, and what reaches the resident collector is split from what is sampled:

begin_host_phase_run() stamps the run's own level + prefix into its slot before its bind — the runner's members describe whichever run last held the claim
host_phase_pool_arm(), capture_clock_correlation_begin() write only that slot. No collector writes during bind at all
publish_host_phase_run_to_collector() hands the session, the anchors and set_host_orchestrated to the collector from the launch arming, ahead of the collector initialize() that reads the last of them

The plumbing was already there

The two HostApiOps host-phase hooks take a uint32_t pipeline_slot, matching the five sibling hooks that already do. Nothing new was needed to supply it: HostApi is already constructed per run and already carries pipeline_slot_, and the teardown readers have it on PreparedExecution.

HostPhaseRecordStore deletes copy and move on purpose — pool_ holds raw pointers into buffers_ — so the array holds it in place rather than moving it onto PreparedExecution.

With that, the exclusion and its scaffolding go: captures_host_orchestration_phases(), its four gate sites, the weak host_phase_records_enabled() read, and the static_assert pinning the level literal. Any diagnostics configuration now overlaps its predecessor.

The test needed more than the flip

The scene test's level-4 arm was written for this moment and flips from requiring did not overlap to requiring the overlap.

That alone would not have detected a regression. I checked: collapsing the state back to one store still overlaps — it just loses a run's records, and the overlap assertion is about span timing. So the arm now also gives each iteration its own output directory and requires every one to carry orchestrator_source: host in its swimlane artifact. That marker is written only when a run's own host-phase records reached the collector.

Testing

Negative control on a2a3 onboard, indexing the array at 0 instead of the run's slot:

assertion result
overlap still green — which is why it is not sufficient on its own
per-run artifact fails: run 0: its host-orchestration phase records never reached the collector

The whole a2a3 onboard host_build_graph suite is green in the per-PR CI shape.

Also green: 12 DFX channel runs over both sim platforms; full sim sweeps (39 and 35 cases); pyut 2242 passed / 7 skipped; cpput 140/140 from a cleared build dir.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change stores host-phase records and clock-correlation data per pipeline slot. It threads the slot through preparation, collector startup, teardown, callbacks, and artifact writing. Host-orchestrated runs can now use prepared overlap, with stress tests verifying overlap and per-run artifacts.

Changes

Per-slot host-phase pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Per-slot state and callback contracts
src/common/platform/include/host/host_phase_run_state.h, src/common/platform/include/common/host_api.h, src/common/platform/onboard/host/device_runner_base.*, src/common/platform/sim/host/device_runner_base.*, src/common/task_interface/call_config.h
Host-phase records and clock-correlation data now use HostPhaseRunState entries indexed by pipeline slot. Host API callbacks pass the slot. The former configuration exclusion helper and related assertion were removed.
Per-slot capture and teardown
src/common/platform/onboard/host/device_runner_base.cpp, src/common/platform/sim/host/device_runner_base.cpp
Bind-time anchor capture, collector publication, record publication, clock-correlation finalization, artifact writing, and collector teardown now use the selected pipeline slot.
Preparation and execution wiring

Preparation initializes slot state. Launch and teardown pass the slot through collector operations. Host-orchestrated configurations no longer block prepared successor admission.
Concurrent preparation validation
tests/st/a2a3/host_build_graph/concurrent_prepare_stress/test_concurrent_prepare_stress.py
The level-4 swimlane test now requires native overlap, uses separate output directories, and checks each host-orchestrated artifact.

The host-phase record store and the clock-correlation provider were one per
runner, but their lifetime is one per run: armed during a host-orchestrating
bind, read at that run's teardown. A bind is preparation, and a prepared
successor prepares while its predecessor is still executing — so the
successor's bind reset the store its predecessor had finished and was waiting
to publish, and released the provider whose session that predecessor was still
running under.

Unlike the collector pools, this could not simply move under the execution
claim the way hw-native-sys#2163 and hw-native-sys#2200 moved theirs. The records describe the bind, and
the `HostOrchestrationBegin` anchor means the instant host orchestration began;
deferring either to launch would record something else. hw-native-sys#2201 therefore
excluded the affected configurations from pipeline overlap rather than fixing
them, which is what this removes.

The state is now `std::array<HostPhaseRunState, PTO_PIPELINE_MAX_DEPTH>`, and
what reaches the resident swimlane collector is split from what is sampled:

  - `begin_host_phase_run()` stamps the run's own level and prefix into its
    slot before its bind, because the runner's members describe whichever run
    last held the claim
  - `host_phase_pool_arm()` and `capture_clock_correlation_begin()` write only
    that slot — no collector writes at all during bind
  - `publish_host_phase_run_to_collector()` hands the session, the anchors and
    `set_host_orchestrated` to the collector from the launch arming, under the
    claim — after the stale-shape `finalize_collectors()`, which resets both,
    and before the `initialize()` that reads `host_orchestrated_` when it
    decides whether to size a device orch phase pool

The two `HostApiOps` host-phase hooks take a `uint32_t pipeline_slot`, matching
the five sibling hooks that already do. No new plumbing was needed to supply
it: `HostApi` is already constructed per run and already carries
`pipeline_slot_`, and the teardown readers have it on `PreparedExecution`.
`HostPhaseRecordStore` deletes copy and move on purpose — `pool_` holds raw
pointers into `buffers_` — so the array holds it in place rather than moving it
onto `PreparedExecution`.

The providers are per slot but the collector's clock-correlation session is not,
so the runner records which slot opened it and only that slot may end it. A
prepared successor that fails while its predecessor is executing reaches
`finish_clock_correlation_session` for its own slot; without the owner check it
would end the predecessor's session, costing that run its
`DeviceExecutionComplete` anchor and exporting a correlation with no closing
edge.

With that, the exclusion and everything that supported it goes: the
`captures_host_orchestration_phases()` predicate, its four gate sites, the weak
`host_phase_records_enabled()` read, and the static_assert pinning the level
literal. Any diagnostics configuration now overlaps its predecessor.

The scene test's level-4 arm was written for this and flips from requiring
`did not overlap` to requiring the overlap. Overlap alone would not have
detected a regression, though — collapsing the state back to one store still
overlaps, it just loses a run's records — so the arm now also gives each
iteration its own output directory and requires every one of them to carry
`orchestrator_source: host` in its swimlane artifact. That marker is written
only when a run's own host-phase records reached the collector.

Verified on a2a3 onboard. The negative control indexes the array at 0 instead
of the run's slot: the overlap assertion alone stays green, and the artifact
assertion fails with `run 0: its host-orchestration phase records never reached
the collector`. The whole a2a3 onboard host_build_graph suite is green in the
per-PR CI shape.

Also green: 12 DFX channel runs over both sim platforms, full sim sweeps (39
and 35 cases), pyut 2242 passed / 7 skipped, and cpput 140/140 from a cleared
build dir.

A run that fails is the run whose swimlane, dumped tensors and dependency
graph someone actually wants to read, and on sim it was the one run that
exported none of them. `drain_execution`'s `runtime_rc != 0` return closed the
clock-correlation session and left immediately, skipping the whole collector
teardown: no swimlane JSON, no dump manifest, no PMU or scope_stats
reconcile, no deps.json. The AICPU threads are joined before that check, so
every collector's producer had already stopped and its records were as
complete as the run had made them — the data was there and simply never
written.

Both sim runners now run the same `teardown_shared_collectors_after_run` the
success path runs, with `device_execution_complete=false`. That argument
withholds exactly one thing, the `DeviceExecutionComplete` clock anchor, which
a failed run never reached. It also subsumes the `finish_clock_correlation_
session` call it replaces, since the teardown opens with it.

Onboard already had that teardown on its error path, for the reason its own
comment gives: emergency shutdown flushes the device's diagnostic buffers
before the timeout rc comes back, so the records survive, and without the
export the dumped tensors reach .bin with no manifest. dep_gen sat outside
that reasoning for no reason — it was inline after the error return, so the
graph of a run that deadlocked was discarded. All four runners now call it
from both paths, extracted as `emit_device_dep_gen_graph` so the two paths
cannot drift.

Emitting it on a failure path is safe because its own reconcile is a
completeness gate: an un-flushed device buffer, a dropped record or a count
mismatch makes `reconcile_counters()` false and nothing is written, so a run
that failed mid-flight yields a whole graph or none, never a partial one. And
its `quiesce()` adds no new exposure on a poisoned card — that error path
already quiesces the four other collectors through the shared teardown.

Two header comments said `cleanup_execution` releases the run's collectors;
both files' own bodies say the opposite ("not per-run: they are released in
finalize()"). The a2a3 one also still justified itself with the
diagnostics-based overlap exclusion that #2204 removed. Corrected to match the
code.

`test_failed_run_exports_its_diagnostics` drives the `scope_deadlock` case
with scope_stats, dep_gen and chip_swimlane on, and requires the artifacts
after the run raises. scope_stats is the witness for the teardown: it writes
whenever its collector initialized, so it has no record-count precondition,
and it is written last in the sequence. deps.json needs its own assertion
because the dep_gen emit follows the teardown and has its own gate. swimlane
is enabled but not asserted — this case fatals in the orchestrator before any
task completes, so the collector is empty and its artifact cannot witness
anything.

Negative control, with the runner change reverted and rebuilt, separates the
two halves: on a2a3sim the output directory is empty and the test fails on the
scope_stats assertion with `holds []`, while on a2a3 onboard it fails on
deps.json with `holds ['scope_stats', 'scope_stats/scope_stats.jsonl']` —
exactly the gap each platform had. Both pass with the change; a5sim passes
too.

The four `emit_device_dep_gen_graph` bodies are near-duplicates, as the four
inline blocks they replace were: `dep_gen_collector_` is a member of each
runner and the two runner bases are unrelated types, so there is nowhere
shared to put it until #2162.

Also green: full sim sweeps (a2a3sim 40 cases, a5sim 36), all 15 sim DFX
channel runs in the `include_dfx_smokes` shape, pyut 2242 passed / 7 skipped,
cpput 140/140 from a cleared build dir, and the a2a3 onboard scene-test suite
in the per-PR CI shape (67 cases). The new test runs in that onboard sweep too.
