- Added analysis documentation for xattn density alignment.
- Refactored ModelRunner to pre-allocate policy metadata buffers regardless of CPU offload configuration.
- Updated FullAttentionPolicy and SparsePolicy to accept query and key tensors for block selection.
- Enhanced QuestPolicy to utilize query tensor for block selection and improved handling of selected blocks.
- Expanded XAttentionBSAPolicy to support chunked prefill and improved attention score computation with historical and current chunk handling.
- Introduced DensityObserver to track compute and communication density for sparse attention layers.
- Updated attention layer to ensure block selection is always called, improving robustness in first chunk scenarios.
- Added tests for attention kernel behavior with enhanced input patterns.
Add support for GLM-4 model architecture with the following changes:
- Add glm4.py with ChatGLMForCausalLM, GLM4Model, GLM4Attention, GLM4MLP
- Add GLM4RotaryEmbedding with interleaved partial rotation (rotary_dim = head_dim // 2)
- Add apply_rotary_emb_interleaved function for GLM-4 style RoPE
- Add GLM-4 weight name conversion and loading in loader.py
- Add GLM-4 chat template conversion in test_ruler.py
- Add trust_remote_code=True for GLM-4 config loading
Key GLM-4 specific adaptations:
- QKV bias enabled (add_qkv_bias: true)
- RoPE with rope_ratio scaling (base = 10000 * rope_ratio)
- Interleaved RoPE (pairs adjacent elements, not first/second half)
- Partial rotation (only half of head_dim is rotated)
- Uses multi_query_group_num instead of num_key_value_heads
- Uses kv_channels instead of head_dim
- Uses ffn_hidden_size instead of intermediate_size
Tested with RULER niah_single_1 (5 samples): 100% accuracy

Merge GPU-only sparse attention support from tzj/minference-exp branch:
**GPU-only mode additions:**
- Add compute_prefill/compute_decode methods to SparsePolicy base class
- Add GPU-only attention routing in attention.py
- Add alloc_policy_metadata() for pre-allocating GQA buffers
- Add XAttention + BSA sparse attention for GPU-only prefill
- Add kvcache_manager to set_context() for policy access
**bench.py enhancements:**
- Add --model argument for configurable model path
- Add --policy argument (full, xattn) for sparse policy selection
- Add --enable-policy flag for FullAttentionPolicy routing
- Add --enforce-eager option to disable CUDA graphs
- Add --gpu-util option for GPU memory utilization
**Documentation:**
- Add gpu_only_xattn_guide.md with performance analysis
- Add gpu_only_sparse_integration.md baseline document
- Add gpu-vram-requirement.md rule for GPU-only mode
Both CPU offload and GPU-only paths are preserved and functional.

Implement extended CUDA Graph coverage for CPU offload path:
- Add graphed_layers.py with N+2 graph architecture (EmbedGraph, FirstGraph, InterGraphs, LastGraph)
- Support both prefill (seq_len=chunk_size) and decode (seq_len=1) graph modes
- Extend graph coverage to ~70-80% including qkv_proj, rotary, o_proj
- Only attention core remains in eager mode for dynamic offload
Performance: Prefill throughput improved ~5.6% (3782 -> 3995 tok/s at 32K)
Also adds:
- --enforce-eager flag to bench_offload.py for comparison
- Offload mode constraint documentation in CLAUDE.md

- Add compute_prefill() and compute_decode() GPU-only methods to SparsePolicy base class
- Implement GPU-only methods in FullAttentionPolicy using flash_attn
- Add sparse_policy parameter to GPUOnlyManager
- Update create_kvcache_manager() to create FullAttentionPolicy for GPU-only mode
- Route GPU-only attention through sparse_policy in attention.py
- Pass kvcache_manager to context for policy access
- Add --enable-policy flag to bench.py for testing
- Handle warmup phase when kvcache_manager is not yet allocated
This allows GPU-only mode to use the same policy architecture as CPU offload mode,
enabling future sparse attention implementations (Quest, XAttention) in GPU-only mode.
Performance verified: ~4890 tok/s (unchanged from baseline)

- Add write_to_prefill_buffer() and write_to_decode_buffer() methods
- Add chunk_idx parameter to load_to_slot_layer() for NVTX labeling
- Replace direct copy_() calls with OffloadEngine methods in attention.py
- Update all load_to_slot_layer() calls to pass chunk_idx
- NVTX markers now show chunk info: "H2D: L{layer} Chunk{chunk} CPU[{block}]->Slot[{slot}]"
All KV cache data transfers in chunked offload mode now go through
OffloadEngine, enabling better profiling and consistent management.

- Remove cross-layer pipeline from OffloadEngine (saves ~1GB GPU memory for long sequences)
- Delete layer_k/v_buffer_a/b double buffers
- Remove start_decode_pipeline, get_decode_layer_kv, end_decode_pipeline methods
- Remove pipeline state tracking variables
- Simplify decode to use ring buffer pipeline only (more efficient for long sequences)
- Rename compute_chunked_attention → compute_chunked_prefill for clarity
- Add mandatory needle test requirements: --enable-offload --input-len 32768

Move decode attention computation from attention.py to SparsePolicy:
- Add compute_chunked_decode abstract method to SparsePolicy base class
- Implement compute_chunked_decode in FullAttentionPolicy with:
- Ring buffer pipeline (_decode_ring_buffer_pipeline)
- Cross-layer pipeline (_decode_with_layer_pipeline)
- Decode buffer handling
- Simplify _chunked_decode_attention to only validate and delegate
- Remove _decode_ring_buffer_pipeline and _decode_with_layer_pipeline from attention.py
- Add supports_decode check for policy validation
This completes the SparsePolicy v5 refactoring where both prefill and
decode paths now delegate all computation to the sparse policy.

Move all chunked prefill attention computation from attention.py to
SparsePolicy.compute_chunked_attention(). This is the v4 architecture
refactoring for sparse attention policies.
Changes:
- Add compute_chunked_attention abstract method to SparsePolicy base
- Add offload_engine parameter to select_blocks for policies needing
KV access during block selection
- Implement compute_chunked_attention in FullAttentionPolicy with
complete ring buffer pipeline logic
- Simplify attention.py to delegate all chunked prefill to policy
- Remove redundant _sync_load_previous_chunks and
_ring_buffer_pipeline_load methods from Attention class
Test: test_needle.py --enable-offload PASSED

Combines two performance optimization features:
- perf_opt-1: Cross-layer pipeline for decode (double-buffered layer cache)
- perf_opt-2: Per-layer prefill buffer for async offload
Both features are complementary and improve CPU offload performance.
