-# Execute Task Plan (exec-plan)
-
-按照 `task_plan.md` 的要求执行代码重构，确保计划中的最终目标圆满实现。
-
-## 参数说明
-
-命令格式: `/exec-plan --gpu <id> [--no-interrupt]`
-
-| 参数 | 说明 | 示例 |
-|------|------|------|
-| `--gpu <id>` | **必需**。指定可用的 GPU ID，只能使用此 GPU 进行调试 | `--gpu 0`, `--gpu 2` |
-| `--no-interrupt` | 可选。禁止中断执行，遇到问题不与用户交互，自动解决或跳过 | `--no-interrupt` |
-
-## 当前参数
-
-```
-$ARGUMENTS
-```
-
-## 执行前准备
-
-### 1. 解析参数
-
-从 `$ARGUMENTS` 中解析：
-- `GPU_ID`: 从 `--gpu <id>` 或 `-g <id>` 提取
-- `NO_INTERRUPT`: 是否存在 `--no-interrupt` 或 `-n` 标志
-
-### 2. 参数验证
-
-**必须验证**:
-- GPU_ID 必须是有效的数字
-- 运行 `nvidia-smi -i <GPU_ID>` 验证 GPU 存在
-
-### 3. 读取 task_plan.md
-
-读取项目根目录下的 `task_plan.md` 文件，理解：
-- 总体目标
-- 分阶段计划 (Phase 1, 2, 3...)
-- 文件修改清单
-- 风险和注意事项
-- 测试计划
-
-## 执行流程
-
-### Step 1: 创建执行计划
-
-使用 TodoWrite 工具创建详细的执行计划，包括：
-- 从 task_plan.md 提取的所有 Phase
-- 每个 Phase 的子任务
-- 测试验证步骤
-
-### Step 2: 按 Phase 执行重构
-
-对于 task_plan.md 中的每个 Phase：
-
-1. **读取当前代码**: 使用 Read/Grep 理解现有实现
-2. **实施修改**: 使用 Edit/Write 进行代码修改
-3. **验证修改**: 运行相关测试
-
-### Step 3: 运行测试验证
-
-执行 task_plan.md 中定义的测试计划，验证重构成功。
-
-## GPU 限制规则
-
-**严格限制**: 只能使用指定的 GPU，所有涉及 GPU 的命令必须加 `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` 前缀：
-
-```bash
-# 正确
-CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$GPU_ID PYTHONPATH=/home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH python test.py
-
-# 错误 - 禁止使用其他 GPU
-python test.py  # 可能使用默认 GPU 0
-CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python test.py  # 使用多个 GPU
-```
-
-## 中断模式规则
-
-### 当 `--no-interrupt` 生效时
-
-遇到以下情况**不停下来询问用户**，而是：
-
-| 情况 | 处理方式 |
-|------|----------|
-| 测试失败 | 记录失败原因，尝试自动修复，继续下一步 |
-| 代码冲突 | 尝试合理解决，记录解决方案 |
-| 不确定的实现细节 | 选择最合理的方案继续 |
-| 执行错误 | 分析错误，尝试修复，记录问题 |
-
-**自动决策原则**:
-1. 优先保证功能正确性
-2. 遵循现有代码风格
-3. 选择简单直接的实现
-4. 记录所有自动决策到 `progress.md`
-
-### 当未指定 `--no-interrupt` 时
-
-遇到以下情况**可以询问用户**：
-- 多个实现方案需要选择
-- 测试持续失败无法自动修复
-- 发现 task_plan.md 中的问题或矛盾
-
-## 执行记录
-
-### 进度文件: progress.md
-
-实时更新 `progress.md` 记录：
-
-```markdown
-## 执行进度
-
-### Phase X: [名称]
-- 状态: [进行中/完成/失败]
-- 开始时间: [时间]
-- 完成时间: [时间]
-- 修改文件: [文件列表]
-- 自动决策: [如果有]
-- 问题记录: [如果有]
-```
-
-### 发现记录: findings.md
-
-记录执行过程中的重要发现到 `findings.md`。
-
-## 示例用法
-
-```bash
-# 使用 GPU 2，允许中断
-/exec-plan --gpu 2
-
-# 使用 GPU 0，不中断执行
-/exec-plan --gpu 0 --no-interrupt
-
-# 简短形式
-/exec-plan -g 1 -n
-```
-
-## 完成标准
-
-执行完成后，确保：
-
-1. **所有 Phase 完成**: task_plan.md 中的所有 Phase 都已实施
-2. **测试通过**: task_plan.md 中的测试计划全部通过
-3. **代码质量**: 修改符合项目代码规范
-4. **文档更新**: progress.md 包含完整执行记录
-
-## 重要约束
-
-1. **GPU 隔离**: 绝对不能使用指定 GPU 以外的设备
-2. **遵循计划**: 严格按照 task_plan.md 执行，不做计划外的修改
-3. **渐进式修改**: 每个 Phase 完成后验证，而不是最后一起验证
-4. **回滚准备**: 重大修改前考虑是否需要 git commit 保存点

+# Chunked Prefill Bug Debug Summary
+
+## Problem
+`test_needle.py --enable-offload --input-len 8192` fails with garbage output.
+
+The model generates completely wrong tokens instead of the expected "7492".
+
+## Investigation Progress
+
+### 1. Stream Synchronization Fix (Completed)
+- Replaced Triton `store_kvcache` kernel with pure PyTorch operations
+- Moved `store_kvcache` to `compute_stream` in chunked prefill mode
+- Added sync: `compute_stream.wait_event(offload_done)` after per-layer offload
+- Added sync: `default_stream.wait_stream(compute_stream)` before return
+
+### 2. KV Cache Alignment Verification (Completed)
+Created alignment tests to compare K/V tensors between torch reference and nanovllm:
+
+**RoPE Alignment:**
+- RoPE implementations match perfectly (max_diff=0.002, cosine ~1.0)
+- Confirmed RoPE is NOT the cause of the bug
+
+**K/V Cache Alignment (Chunk 0):**
+- Cosine similarity: ~1.0 for all layers
+- Max diff: 2-7 (grows linearly with position, characteristic of FP16 precision)
+- Mean diff: < 0.001
+- **Conclusion: K/V cache offload is working correctly**
+
+### 3. Layer Output Divergence Analysis (Completed)
+Created per-chunk layer output comparison:
+
+**Chunk 0 (tokens 0-4096):**
+- All layers pass with excellent cosine similarity (0.999+)
+- Max diff grows in later layers but within acceptable range
+
+**Chunk 1 (tokens 4096-8192):**
+- Layers 0-19: OK (cosine ~1.0)
+- Layers 20-27: Diverge (cosine 0.83-0.96, max_diff up to 114)
+- Divergence correlates with later transformer layers
+
+### 4. Critical Discovery: Single-Chunk Offload Also Fails
+**Key finding:** Even with input_len=2048 (single chunk, no chunked attention), the model produces garbage output with CPU offload enabled.
+
+```
+# Without offload: PASSES
+python tests/test_needle.py --input-len 2048
+# Output: "7492" (correct)
+
+# With offload: FAILS
+python tests/test_needle.py --enable-offload --input-len 2048
+# Output: "The Ble White Th G Lopsiswin..." (garbage)
+```
+
+**This proves the bug is NOT in:**
+- Chunked attention logic (merge_attention_outputs)
+- Multi-chunk KV loading
+- Ring buffer pipeline
+
+**The bug IS in:**
+- The decode path when CPU offload is enabled
+- How prefilled KV is loaded/used during decode
+
+### 5. Decode Path Analysis (In Progress)
+The decode path in CPU offload mode:
+1. Prefill writes KV to GPU, offloads to CPU
+2. Decode loads prefilled KV from CPU via `_decode_ring_buffer_pipeline`
+3. Attend to prefilled KV + accumulated decode tokens
+4. Merge results
+
+**Observations:**
+- `prefilled_blocks` set is empty after decode (should contain block IDs)
+- CPU cache has valid data (reasonable mean/std values)
+- Decode buffer has zeros (decode tokens not being stored correctly?)
+
+## Current Status
+
+### Working
+- Stream synchronization fixes
+- K/V cache offload to CPU (verified alignment)
+- RoPE implementation
+- Chunked prefill attention for first chunk
+
+### Not Working
+- Decode with CPU offload (even for single-chunk inputs)
+- Multi-chunk attention (divergence in later layers for chunk 1)
+
+## Next Steps
+1. Debug why `prefilled_blocks` is empty after decode
+2. Check if decode path correctly loads KV from CPU
+3. Verify decode buffer is being written correctly
+4. Compare decode attention outputs between offload and non-offload modes
+
+## Key Files
+- `nanovllm/layers/attention.py` - Main attention implementation with chunked paths
+- `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py` - CPU-GPU transfer engine
+- `nanovllm/kvcache/hybrid_manager.py` - KV cache management with `prefilled_blocks`
+- `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py` - Prefill/decode orchestration
+
+## Hypothesis
+The decode path fails because:
+1. `prefilled_blocks` is not being tracked correctly, causing `get_prefilled_cpu_blocks()` to return empty
+2. OR the decode attention is not correctly loading/using the prefilled KV from CPU
+3. OR there's a stream synchronization issue specific to decode path

-## 理论内存占用
-
-### GPU Only 模式
-
-| 组件 | 计算公式 | 内存占用 |
-|------|----------|----------|
-| 模型权重 | 8.03B × 2 bytes | **16.06 GB** |
-| KV Cache | 32 × 65536 × 8 × 128 × 2 × 2 | **8.19 GB** |
-| Prefill 激活值峰值 | max(QKV, MLP) | **~2 GB** |
-| **总计** | | **~26 GB** |
-
-**结论**：GPU only 模式需要 ~26 GB，**RTX 3090 (24GB) 无法运行**。
-
-### CPU Offload 模式

-
-### 内存碎片来源
-
-| 来源 | 说明 | 影响 |
-|------|------|------|
-| Binned 分配器 | PyTorch 使用固定大小的内存池 | 中等 |
-| torch.compile 缓存 | 编译后的 kernel 代码和常量 | 高 (~2-3 GB) |
-| 频繁分配/释放 | chunked 处理中每个 chunk 的创建销毁 | 高 |
-| 不同大小张量 | (128,4096), (65536,6144) 等 | 中等 |
-
-### torch.cat 内存需求
-
-Chunked MLP 处理（chunk_size=128）：
-```
-65536 / 128 = 512 chunks
-每个 chunk 输出: (128, 4096) × 2 bytes = 1 MB
-torch.cat 拼接需要: (65536, 4096) × 2 bytes = 508 MB (连续)
-```
-
-## 已尝试的优化
-
-| 优化项 | 效果 |
-|--------|------|
-| 移除 `@torch.compile` | PyTorch: 23.13 → 22.80 GB (-300 MB) |
-| 减少 `num_kv_buffers` (4→1) | Ring buffer: 1034 → 258 MB (-776 MB) |
-| Chunked QKV/MLP/LayerNorm | 峰值激活: ~2 GB → ~50 MB |
-| 降低 GPU 利用率 (0.9→0.75) | 无明显效果 |
-| 减小 chunk_size (4096→128) | 峰值降低，但 torch.cat 需要连续内存 |
-
-### 最终状态
-
-```
-理论需求:    ~17.5 GB
-实际分配:    22.49 GB
-剩余空间:    735 MB (306 MB + 429 MB reserved)
-分配失败:    508 MB (torch.cat 需要连续内存)
-```
-
-## 结论
-
-### 根本原因
-
-**不是绝对内存不足，而是内存碎片导致的分配失败**。
-
-理论需求 17.5 GB < 24 GB，但由于：
-- PyTorch 开销（CUDA 上下文、碎片）：~5-6 GB
-- torch.compile 缓存：~2-3 GB（已移除）
-- 内存碎片导致无法分配 508 MB 连续块
-
-### 硬件限制
-
-| GPU | 显存 | 64k GPU Only | 64k Offload |
-|-----|------|--------------|--------------|
-| RTX 3090 | 24 GB | ❌ | ⚠️ 碎片问题 |
-| RTX 4090 | 24 GB | ❌ | ⚠️ 碎片问题 |
-| A100 | 40 GB | ✅ | ✅ |
-| A100 | 80 GB | ✅ | ✅ |
-
-### 建议
-
-1. **64k 推理建议使用 40GB+ 显存的 GPU**
-2. RTX 3090/4090 适合 32k 或更短的场景
-3. 如必须在 24GB GPU 上运行 64k：
-   - 使用 RAPIDS RMM 分配器
-   - 预分配 torch.cat 需要的内存
-   - 或使用流式处理避免 torch.cat

-# 64K Prefill MLP Activation OOM Issue
-
-## Problem Summary
-
-When running RULER benchmark with 64K context length using CPU offload mode, OOM occurs during MLP forward pass in `run_layerwise_offload_prefill`. The KV cache is successfully offloaded to CPU, but MLP intermediate activations exceed available GPU memory.
-
-## Environment
-
-- GPU: RTX 3090 (24GB)
-- Model: LLaMA 3.1 8B
-- Sequence Length: 65536 tokens
-- Mode: `enable_cpu_offload=True`, `num_gpu_blocks=2`
-
-## Error Message
-
-```
-torch.OutOfMemoryError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 3.47 GiB.
-GPU 0 has a total capacity of 23.57 GiB of which 2.66 GiB is free.
-Including non-PyTorch memory, this process has 20.88 GiB memory in use.
-Of the allocated memory 20.51 GiB is allocated by PyTorch, and 32.26 MiB
-is reserved by PyTorch but unallocated.

-
-## Root Cause Analysis
-
-### Memory Breakdown
-
-| Component | Calculation | Size |
-|-----------|-------------|------|
-| Model weights (BF16) | 8B params × 2 bytes | ~16 GB |
-| GPU KV cache | 2 blocks × 1024 tokens × 8KB/token | ~16 MB |
-| **Remaining for activations** | 24 - 16 - overhead | **~6-7 GB** |
-
-### MLP Activation Memory (per layer)
-
-For LLaMA 3.1 8B with `hidden_size=4096`, `intermediate_size=14336`:
-
-| Tensor | Shape | Size (BF16) |
-|--------|-------|-------------|
-| MLP input | [65536, 4096] | 512 MB |
-| gate_up output | [65536, 28672] | **3.47 GB** |
-| down_proj input | [65536, 14336] | 1.75 GB |
-| MLP output | [65536, 4096] | 512 MB |
-
-**Peak MLP memory**: ~3.5-4 GB for intermediate tensors
-
-### Why OOM Occurs
-
-1. Model weights consume ~16 GB (loaded on GPU for layer-wise processing)
-2. Available memory: ~7 GB
-3. MLP `gate_up_proj` output: 3.47 GB
-4. Additional tensors (input, gradients, etc.): ~1-2 GB
-5. **Total required > Available** → OOM
-
-## Code Location
-
-The issue is in `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py`:
-
-```python
-# Line 843 in run_layerwise_offload_prefill
-hidden_states = layer.mlp(hidden_states)  # <-- OOM here
-```
-
-The entire sequence (65536 tokens) is passed through MLP in one shot.
-
-## Current Configuration
-
-From `model_wrappers.py` (RULER integration):
-
-```python
-llm_kwargs = {
-    "max_model_len": max_model_len,           # 128 * 1024
-    "max_num_batched_tokens": max_model_len,  # Same as max_model_len
-    "enable_cpu_offload": True,
-    "num_gpu_blocks": 2,
-    ...
-}
-```
-
-Setting `max_num_batched_tokens = max_model_len` causes nanovllm to process all tokens at once.
-
-## Potential Solutions
-
-### Option 1: Chunked MLP Processing
-
-Modify `run_layerwise_offload_prefill` to process MLP in chunks:
-
-```python
-# Instead of:
-hidden_states = layer.mlp(hidden_states)
-
-# Do:
-chunk_size = 8192  # Process 8K tokens at a time
-chunks = hidden_states.split(chunk_size, dim=0)
-outputs = []
-for chunk in chunks:
-    outputs.append(layer.mlp(chunk))
-hidden_states = torch.cat(outputs, dim=0)
-```
-
-### Option 2: Activation Checkpointing
-
-Use gradient checkpointing to recompute activations instead of storing them:
-
-```python
-from torch.utils.checkpoint import checkpoint
-hidden_states = checkpoint(layer.mlp, hidden_states, use_reentrant=False)
-```
-
-### Option 3: Reduce Chunk Size via Config
-
-Add a new config parameter `prefill_chunk_size` to control how many tokens are processed per forward pass.
-
-## Memory Estimation Formula
-
-For a given sequence length `S` and model config:
-
-```
-MLP_peak_memory = S × intermediate_size × 2 × 2 bytes
-                = S × 14336 × 4 bytes
-
-For S = 65536:
-MLP_peak = 65536 × 14336 × 4 = 3.76 GB
-```
-
-Maximum safe sequence length for RTX 3090 (24GB):
-```
-S_max = available_memory / (intermediate_size × 4)
-      = 6GB / (14336 × 4)
-      ≈ 100K tokens (theoretical)
-      ≈ 8-16K tokens (practical, with safety margin)
-```
-
-## Reproduction Steps
-
-```bash
-cd /home/zijie/Code/COMPASS/eval/RULER/scripts
-
-# Set SEQ_LENGTHS to 65536 in config_models.sh
-# Then run:
-./run.sh llama3.1-8b-nanovllm synthetic --metric full --task niah_single_1

-| **ModelRunner** | `model_runner.py` | Loads weights, allocates KV cache, CUDA graphs, layer-wise offload |
-| **Scheduler** | `scheduler.py` | Two-phase scheduling (prefill → decode) |
-| **BlockManager** | `block_manager.py` | Paged attention with prefix caching (xxhash), default block size 4096 |
-| **Attention** | `layers/attention.py` | FlashAttention for standard inference |
+### LLMEngine (`llm_engine.py`)
+Main entry point that runs the prefill-decode loop. Manages the overall inference workflow.
 
-## Layer-wise CPU Offload System
+### ModelRunner (`model_runner.py`)
+- Loads model weights
+- Allocates KV cache
+- Manages CUDA graphs for decode acceleration
 
-### Design Philosophy
+### Scheduler (`scheduler.py`)
+Two-phase scheduling system:
+- **Prefill phase**: Processes prompt tokens
+- **Decode phase**: Generates output tokens autoregressively
 
-Unlike chunked prefill (which processes chunks across all layers), **layer-wise offload** processes the entire sequence through one layer at a time:
+### BlockManager (`block_manager.py`)
+- Paged attention implementation
+- Prefix caching using xxhash
+- Default block size: 4096 tokens
+
+### Attention (`layers/attention.py`)
+- FlashAttention for efficient computation
+- Chunked methods for CPU offload mode
+

+
+## CPU Offload System
+
+### Ring Buffer Design
+
+The CPU offload system uses a unified ring buffer to manage GPU memory slots:
 
 ```
-Layer 0: [full sequence] → compute → offload K,V to CPU
-Layer 1: [full sequence] → compute → offload K,V to CPU
-...
-Layer N: [full sequence] → compute → offload K,V to CPU
+GPU Slots: [0]  [1]  [2]  [3]  ...  (unified ring buffer)
+Prefill:  slot = chunk_idx % N
+Decode:   slot[0] = decode, slots[1:] = load previous chunks
 ```
 
-**Benefits**:
-- Supports MInference sparse attention (requires full KV access per layer)
-- Simpler memory management (one layer's KV in GPU at a time)
-- Peak GPU memory = one layer's KV cache + attention workspace

-### Key Files

-| `nanovllm/kvcache/hybrid_manager.py` | CPU block management helpers |

 ### Memory Layout
 
-**CPU Cache** (pinned memory):
-```python
-k_cache_cpu: [num_layers, num_cpu_blocks, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]
-v_cache_cpu: [num_layers, num_cpu_blocks, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]
+**GPU Memory**:
+```
+[num_layers, num_gpu_blocks, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]
 ```
 
-**GPU Ring Buffer** (for decode H2D pipeline):
-```python
-layer_k_cache: [num_kv_buffers, max_seq_len, kv_heads, head_dim]
-layer_v_cache: [num_kv_buffers, max_seq_len, kv_heads, head_dim]
+**CPU Memory** (pinned):
+```
+[num_layers, num_cpu_blocks, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]
 ```
 
-**Per-layer KV size** (Qwen3-4B: 8 kv_heads × 128 head_dim × 2 bytes × 2 for K+V = 4KB/token):
+### Key Methods
 
-| Context Length | KV per Layer |
-|----------------|--------------|
-| 128K tokens | 512 MB |
-| 256K tokens | 1 GB |
-| 512K tokens | 2 GB |
-| 1M tokens | 4 GB |
+| Method | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer, cpu_block)` | Async H2D load for specific layer |
+| `offload_slot_to_cpu(slot, cpu_block)` | Async D2H offload |
+| Per-slot per-layer CUDA events | Fine-grained synchronization |
+
+### Pipeline Architecture
+
+**N-way Pipeline** with dedicated streams for full compute-transfer overlap:
+
+- **Prefill pipeline depth**: N-1
+- **Decode pipeline depth**: (N-1)/2
+
+### Stream Architecture
+
+```
+Transfer Streams: [slot_0_stream] [slot_1_stream] ... [slot_N_stream]
+                       ↓              ↓                    ↓
+GPU Slots:          [slot_0]      [slot_1]    ...     [slot_N]
+                       ↓              ↓                    ↓
+Compute Stream:    ←←←←←←←←←←←← [dedicated compute stream] →→→→→→→→→→→→
+```
+
+### Key Design Decisions
+
+1. **Per-slot transfer streams**: Each GPU slot has its own CUDA stream for H2D transfers, enabling parallel loading
+
+2. **Dedicated compute stream**: Created with `torch.cuda.Stream()` (NOT `current_stream()`) to avoid implicit synchronization with CUDA default stream
+
+3. **CUDA Events**:
+   - `ring_slot_ready`: Signals transfer complete
+   - `ring_slot_compute_done`: Signals safe to overwrite slot
+
+### Chunked Offload Flow
+
+**Prefill Phase**:
+1. For each chunk, assign `slot = chunk_idx % N`
+2. Load required KV blocks from CPU to assigned slot
+3. Compute attention on current chunk
+4. Offload results back to CPU if needed
+
+**Decode Phase**:
+1. Use `slot[0]` for active decode computation
+2. Use `slots[1:]` to prefetch upcoming chunks
+3. Rotate slots as decoding progresses

+### Trade-offs
 
-        # Full FlashAttention (entire sequence)
-        attn_out = flash_attn_varlen_func(q, k, v, cu_seqlens, max_seqlen, causal=True)
-

+- **Larger ring buffer**: More memory, better prefetch overlap
+- **Smaller ring buffer**: Less memory, potential compute stalls

-## Decode Flow
-
-```python
-def run_layerwise_offload_decode(self, seqs: list[Sequence]) -> list[int]:
-    # Ring buffer pipeline: preload first N layers
-    for i in range(num_buffers):
-        offload_engine.load_layer_kv_to_buffer(i, i, cpu_block_table, valid_tokens)
-
-    # For each layer:
-    for layer_id in range(num_layers):

-        # 2. Get prefilled KV from ring buffer

-        attn_out = flash_attn_varlen_func(q_new, k_full, v_full, ..., causal=False)
-        # Note: causal=False because single query token should attend to ALL keys
-
-        # 5. Mark buffer done, start loading next layer
-        offload_engine.record_buffer_compute_done(current_buffer)
-        if layer_id + num_buffers < num_layers:
-            offload_engine.load_layer_kv_to_buffer(current_buffer, layer_id + num_buffers, ...)
-```
-
----
-
-## Critical Implementation Details
-
-### 1. Synchronous Offload Required
-
-Async offload with `non_blocking=True` causes memory reuse bugs:
-
-```python
-# BUG: PyTorch may reuse k,v GPU memory before async copy completes
-offload_engine.k_cache_cpu[layer_id, block_id].copy_(k[start:end], non_blocking=True)
-
-# CORRECT: Synchronous copy ensures data integrity
-offload_engine.k_cache_cpu[layer_id, block_id, :size].copy_(k[start:end])  # sync
-```
-
-### 2. Decode Attention: causal=False
-
-During decode, the single query token must attend to ALL keys (not just preceding ones):
-
-```python
-# Prefill: causal=True (each token only attends to previous tokens)
-attn_out = flash_attn_varlen_func(..., causal=True)
-
-# Decode: causal=False (query at position N attends to all N-1 prefill + itself)
-attn_out = flash_attn_varlen_func(..., causal=False)
-```
-
-### 3. Ring Buffer Synchronization
-
-The ring buffer pipeline requires careful ordering:
-
-```python
-# CORRECT order:
-offload_engine.store_decode_kv(layer_id, pos, k_new, v_new)  # Store new KV
-offload_engine.record_buffer_compute_done(current_buffer)     # Mark done FIRST
-offload_engine.load_layer_kv_to_buffer(...)                   # THEN start next load
-
-# BUG: Starting load before marking done causes race condition
-offload_engine.load_layer_kv_to_buffer(...)  # WRONG: buffer still in use!
-offload_engine.record_buffer_compute_done(current_buffer)
-```

-# Get all CPU blocks for a sequence
-cpu_blocks = manager.get_all_cpu_blocks(seq)  # List[int]
-
-# Get only prefilled (offloaded) CPU blocks
-prefilled_blocks = manager.get_prefilled_cpu_blocks(seq)  # List[int]

-# CUDA Graph Support for CPU Offload Mode
-
-This document describes the CUDA graph implementation for the CPU offload decode path, which provides significant performance improvements for decode throughput.
-
-## Overview
-
-CUDA graphs capture a sequence of GPU operations and replay them with minimal CPU overhead. In offload mode, we capture per-layer graphs for the decode path, achieving **4x decode throughput improvement**.
-
-## Performance Results
-
-| Metric | Eager Mode | CUDA Graph | Improvement |
-|--------|------------|------------|-------------|
-| Decode Throughput | ~12 tok/s | ~50 tok/s | **4.2x** |
-| TPOT (Time per output token) | ~80ms | ~19ms | **4.2x** |
-| Prefill Throughput | ~8000 tok/s | ~8000 tok/s | Same |
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Why Standard CUDA Graph Capture Doesn't Work
-
-The standard `capture_cudagraph()` captures the PagedAttention decode path:
-- Uses block tables for scattered KV cache access
-- `Attention.k_cache/v_cache` point to PagedAttention buffers
-
-In offload mode, the decode path is different:
-- Uses contiguous ring buffers for KV cache
-- `Attention.k_cache/v_cache` dynamically point to ring buffer slices
-- H2D transfers interleaved with compute
-
-### Per-Layer Graph Design
-
-We capture one CUDA graph per transformer layer:

-### Ring Buffer Mapping
-
-Each layer maps to a ring buffer slot:
-```python
-buffer_idx = layer_id % num_kv_buffers
-```
-
-With 4 buffers and 36 layers:
-- Layer 0, 4, 8, ... use buffer 0
-- Layer 1, 5, 9, ... use buffer 1
-- Layer 2, 6, 10, ... use buffer 2
-- Layer 3, 7, 11, ... use buffer 3

-        # Warmup and capture
-        with torch.cuda.graph(graph, pool):
-            out_h, out_r = layer(positions, hidden_states, residual)
-            layer_outputs.copy_(out_h)
-            layer_residual.copy_(out_r)
-
-        # Propagate state for next layer's capture
-        hidden_states.copy_(layer_outputs)
-        residual.copy_(layer_residual)
-```
-
-Key design decisions:
-1. **Fixed-address tensors**: Graph inputs/outputs use pre-allocated tensors
-2. **Include copy in graph**: `layer_outputs.copy_(out_h)` is captured
-3. **State propagation**: Update hidden_states between layer captures
-4. **Random initialization**: Use `randn` instead of zeros for realistic distributions
-
-### Graph Replay (`run_layerwise_offload_decode`)
-
-Location: `model_runner.py:844-1031`
-
-```python
-use_cuda_graph = not self.enforce_eager and hasattr(self, 'offload_graphs')
-
-if use_cuda_graph:
-    # Use fixed-address tensors
-    graph_vars["positions"][0] = len(seq) - 1
-    graph_vars["slot_mapping"][0] = context_len
-    graph_vars["context_lens"][0] = context_len + 1
-    graph_vars["hidden_states"].copy_(embedding)
-    graph_vars["residual"].zero_()
-
-for layer_id in range(num_layers):
-    # H2D and buffer setup (outside graph)
-    offload_engine.wait_buffer_load(current_buffer)
-    attn_module.k_cache = ring_buffer[current_buffer:current_buffer+1]
-    set_context(...)
-
-    if use_cuda_graph:
-        # Replay graph
-        self.offload_graphs[layer_id].replay()
-        torch.cuda.current_stream().synchronize()
-
-        # Copy outputs to inputs for next layer
-        if layer_id < num_layers - 1:
-            graph_vars["hidden_states"].copy_(graph_vars["layer_outputs"])
-            graph_vars["residual"].copy_(graph_vars["layer_residual"])
-    else:
-        # Eager execution
-        hidden_states, residual = layer(positions, hidden_states, residual)
-```
-
-Key points:
-1. **Synchronization required**: `synchronize()` after each graph replay
-2. **Manual state propagation**: Copy layer_outputs to hidden_states between replays
-3. **H2D outside graph**: Ring buffer loads happen before graph replay
-
-## Limitations and Future Work
-
-### Current Limitations
-
-1. **Per-layer sync overhead**: Each layer requires synchronization
-2. **No kernel fusion across layers**: Each layer is a separate graph
-3. **Fixed batch size**: Only supports batch_size=1 for offload
-
-### Future Optimization: Full-Decode Graph
-
-Potential improvement: Capture entire decode step as single graph
-- Complete all H2D loads before graph
-- Single graph covers all 36 layers
-- Better kernel fusion, less CPU overhead
-- More complex to implement (handle buffer rotation inside graph)
-
-## Testing
-
-Run needle test with CUDA graph:
-```bash
-PYTHONPATH=/path/to/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_needle.py \
-    --input-len 32768 \
-    --enable-offload \

+## Common Pitfalls
 
-1. **Shape mismatch**: nanovllm uses `[num_tokens, ...]` while torch uses `[batch, seq_len, ...]`
-2. **Hook position**: `self_attn` captures after o_proj, `self_attn.attn` captures before o_proj
-3. **Output format**: nanovllm returns tuple `(attn_output, None)`, handle with `output[0]`
+### 1. Shape Mismatch
 
----
-
-## Memory Debugging
-
-### Track Peak GPU Memory
+**Issue**: nanovllm uses `[num_tokens, ...]` while torch uses `[batch, seq_len, ...]`
 
+**Solution**: Always add/remove batch dimension when comparing:
 ```python
-import torch
-
-# Reset stats before operation
-torch.cuda.reset_peak_memory_stats()
-torch.cuda.empty_cache()
-
-# Run operation
-outputs = llm.generate([prompt], sampling_params)
-
-# Check peak
-peak_gb = torch.cuda.max_memory_allocated() / 1024**3
-print(f"Peak GPU memory: {peak_gb:.2f} GB")
+if tensor.dim() == 2:
+    tensor = tensor.unsqueeze(0)  # Add batch dim
 ```
 
-### Monitor Memory During Execution
+### 2. Hook Position
 
+**Issue**: `self_attn` captures after o_proj, `self_attn.attn` captures before o_proj
+
+**Solution**: Choose the right hook based on what you need:
+- Use `self_attn` for final attention output
+- Use `self_attn.attn` for raw Q/K/V tensors
+
+### 3. Output Format
+
+**Issue**: nanovllm returns tuple `(attn_output, None)`
+
+**Solution**: Always access first element:
 ```python
-import torch
-
-def memory_snapshot():
-    allocated = torch.cuda.memory_allocated() / 1024**3
-    reserved = torch.cuda.memory_reserved() / 1024**3
-    print(f"Allocated: {allocated:.2f} GB, Reserved: {reserved:.2f} GB")
-
-# Add snapshots at key points in your code
+if isinstance(output, tuple):
+    actual_output = output[0]
 ```

+## Tensor Comparison
 
-## Comparing Outputs
-
-### Needle-in-Haystack Test

-```bash
-# Test with CPU offload

-    close = torch.allclose(a, b, rtol=rtol, atol=atol)
-    print(f"{name}: max_diff={max_diff:.6f}, mean_diff={mean_diff:.6f}, close={close}")
-    return close
+    print(f"{name}: {'PASS' if matches else 'FAIL'} (max={max_diff:.6f}, mean={mean_diff:.6f})")
+    return matches
 ```
+
+## Memory Profiling
+

+
+```python
+import torch

+def get_gpu_memory():
+    allocated = torch.cuda.memory_allocated() / 1024**3  # GB
+    reserved = torch.cuda.memory_reserved() / 1024**3  # GB
+    return allocated, reserved
+
+# Before inference
+alloc_before, reserved_before = get_gpu_memory()
+
+# Run inference...
+
+# After inference
+alloc_after, reserved_after = get_gpu_memory()
+print(f"GPU Memory: {alloc_after:.2f} GB allocated, {reserved_after:.2f} GB reserved")
+print(f"Peak: {(alloc_after - alloc_before):.2f} GB")

-## Current Architecture Analysis
-
-### GPU-Only Path vs Offload Path
-
-| Aspect | GPU-Only | Layerwise Offload |
-|--------|----------|-------------------|
-| KV Storage | GPU blocks (paged) | CPU pinned + GPU ring buffer |
-| Prefill | All layers → then attention | Per-layer: attention → offload |
-| Decode | FlashAttn with block table | Ring buffer H2D → FlashAttn |
-| Sparse Support | MInference via `attention.py` | Not integrated |

-```
-
-## Integration Points
-
-### 1. Prefill Sparse Integration Point
-
-**Location:** `model_runner.py:535-543`
-
-**Current:**
-```python
-attn_output = flash_attn_varlen_func(
-    q, k, v,
-    cu_seqlens_q=cu_seqlens,
-    cu_seqlens_k=cu_seqlens,
-    max_seqlen_q=total_tokens,
-    max_seqlen_k=total_tokens,
-    softmax_scale=layer.self_attn.attn.scale,
-    causal=True,
-)
-```
-
-**After Integration:**
-```python
-if self.sparse_policy and self.sparse_policy.supports_offload_prefill:
-    attn_output, k_sparse, v_sparse = self.sparse_policy.offload_prefill_attention(
-        q, k, v, layer_id
-    )
-    k_to_offload = k_sparse if k_sparse is not None else k
-    v_to_offload = v_sparse if v_sparse is not None else v
-else:
-    attn_output = flash_attn_varlen_func(q, k, v, ...)
-    k_to_offload, v_to_offload = k, v
-```
-
-### 2. Decode Sparse Integration Point
-
-**Location:** `model_runner.py:636-637` and `model_runner.py:704-706`
-
-**Current (preload):**
-```python
-for i in range(num_preload):
-    offload_engine.load_layer_kv_to_buffer(
-        i, i, cpu_block_table, valid_tokens_per_block
-    )
-```
-
-**After Integration:**
-```python
-for i in range(num_preload):
-    layer_to_load = i
-    if self.sparse_policy and self.sparse_policy.supports_offload_decode:
-        # Prepare q for this layer (need to compute ahead)
-        # OR: use previous layer's pattern as estimate
-        selected_blocks = self.sparse_policy.select_offload_blocks(
-            None,  # q not available yet at preload
-            layer_to_load,
-            cpu_block_table,
-            valid_tokens_per_block
-        )
-    else:
-        selected_blocks = cpu_block_table
-    offload_engine.load_sparse_layer_kv_to_buffer(
-        i, layer_to_load, selected_blocks, valid_tokens_per_block
-    )
-```
-
-**Challenge:** Q is not available during preload phase!
-
-**Solutions:**
-1. Skip sparse preload, only sparse for non-preloaded layers
-2. Use previous decode step's pattern as estimate
-3. Add preload hook to sparse policy
-
-### 3. Offload Engine Extension
-
-**New Method in OffloadEngine:**
-
-```python
-def load_sparse_layer_kv_to_buffer(
-    self,
-    buffer_idx: int,
-    layer_id: int,
-    selected_cpu_block_ids: List[int],
-    original_valid_tokens: List[int],
-) -> int:
-    """
-    Load only selected blocks from CPU to buffer.
-
-    Returns:
-        Total tokens loaded (may be less than full sequence)
-    """
-    stream = self.layer_load_streams[buffer_idx]
-
-    with torch.cuda.stream(stream):
-        stream.wait_event(self.buffer_compute_done_events[buffer_idx])
-
-        # Build mapping: original block -> selected position
-        offset = 0
-        for i, cpu_block_id in enumerate(selected_cpu_block_ids):
-            # Find original index to get valid tokens
-            valid_tokens = original_valid_tokens[i]  # Need mapping
-
-            self.layer_k_cache[buffer_idx, offset:offset+valid_tokens].copy_(
-                self.k_cache_cpu[layer_id, cpu_block_id, :valid_tokens],
-                non_blocking=True
-            )
-            # ... v_cache same
-
-            offset += valid_tokens
-
-        self.buffer_load_events[buffer_idx].record(stream)
-
-    return offset  # Caller needs to know actual loaded tokens
-```
-
-## Metadata Flow for Quest
-
-### During Prefill Offload
-
-**Current:** No metadata collection in offload path
-
-**Required:** Call `on_prefill_offload()` for each block
-
-```python
-# In run_layerwise_offload_prefill()
-for i, cpu_block_id in enumerate(cpu_block_ids):
-    start = i * block_size
-    end = min(start + block_size, total_tokens)
-    actual_size = end - start
-
-    # BEFORE offload: update Quest metadata
-    if self.sparse_policy and hasattr(self.sparse_policy, 'on_prefill_offload'):
-        self.sparse_policy.on_prefill_offload(
-            cpu_block_id, layer_id, k[start:end], actual_size
-        )
-
-    # Offload
-    offload_engine.k_cache_cpu[layer_id, cpu_block_id, :actual_size].copy_(k[start:end])
-    offload_engine.v_cache_cpu[layer_id, cpu_block_id, :actual_size].copy_(v[start:end])
-```
-
-### Quest Metadata Shape
-
-```python
-# BlockMetadataManager
-key_min: [num_blocks, num_layers, num_kv_heads, head_dim]  # Min key per block per layer
-key_max: [num_blocks, num_layers, num_kv_heads, head_dim]  # Max key per block per layer
-```
-
-**Memory:** 2 * num_blocks * num_layers * kv_heads * head_dim * 2 bytes
-- Example: 1000 blocks * 28 layers * 4 heads * 128 dim * 2 * 2 = ~57 MB
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-### MInference Prefill Overhead
-
-| Operation | Time (64K seq) |
-|-----------|----------------|
-| Pattern estimation (last-64) | ~5ms |
-| Triton sparse attention | ~80ms |
-| Full FlashAttention | ~100ms |
-| **Net Speedup** | ~15-20% |
-
-### Quest Decode Overhead
-
-| Operation | Time |
-|-----------|------|
-| Block scoring (GPU metadata) | ~0.1ms |
-| Top-K selection | ~0.05ms |
-| Sparse H2D load (8 blocks) | ~2ms |
-| Full H2D load (100 blocks) | ~20ms |
-| **Net Speedup** | ~10x H2D |
-
-### Memory Trade-offs
-
-| Mode | GPU Memory | CPU Memory | H2D Bandwidth |
-|------|------------|------------|---------------|
-| Full offload | Ring buffer | Full KV | High |
-| Sparse offload | Ring buffer | Full KV | Low (subset) |
-| Aggressive sparse | Ring buffer | Sparse KV | Very low |
-
-## Edge Cases
-
-### 1. Short Sequences (< sparse threshold)
-
-```python
-if total_tokens < sparse_threshold:
-    # Fall back to full attention
-    use_sparse = False
-```
-
-### 2. First Decode Step (no previous Q)
-
-Quest can't score blocks without Q. Options:
-- Use average embedding as proxy
-- Load all blocks for first step
-- Use prefill pattern as estimate
-
-### 3. Variable Sequence Lengths in Batch
-
-Layerwise offload currently only supports batch_size=1:
-```python
-assert len(seqs) == 1, "Layer-wise offload only supports single sequence"
-```
-
-Sparse integration should maintain this constraint.
-
-### 4. Ring Buffer vs Sparse Load Mismatch
-
-Ring buffer assumes fixed `total_prefill_tokens`:
-```python
-k_prefill, v_prefill = offload_engine.get_buffer_kv(buffer_idx, total_prefill_tokens)
-```
-
-Sparse load has variable token count. Need:
-```python
-# Track actual loaded tokens per buffer
-loaded_tokens[buffer_idx] = sparse_load_count
-k_prefill, v_prefill = offload_engine.get_buffer_kv(buffer_idx, loaded_tokens[buffer_idx])
-```
-
-## Testing Strategy
-
-### Unit Tests
-
-1. `test_sparse_policy_interface.py` - Verify new interface methods
-2. `test_minference_offload.py` - MInference in offload mode
-3. `test_quest_offload.py` - Quest block selection in offload mode
-
-### Integration Tests
-
-1. `test_offload_sparse_e2e.py` - Full prefill+decode with sparsity
-2. `test_accuracy_comparison.py` - Compare outputs: full vs sparse
-
-### Benchmarks
-
-1. `bench_offload_sparse.py` - Compare:
-   - Full offload (baseline)
-   - MInference prefill + Quest decode
-   - Aggressive sparse offload

-# GPU-only Performance Issue: PagedAttention Scatter Overhead
-
-## Problem Summary
-
-GPU-only mode with MInference is **slower** than CPU offload mode for long-context single-sequence inference:
-
-| Mode | Prefill Speed (32K tokens, Qwen3-4B) |
-|------|--------------------------------------|
-| GPU-only + MInference | 3383 tok/s |
-| Offload + MInference | 5373 tok/s |
-
-This counterintuitive result is caused by **unnecessary `store_kvcache` overhead** in the GPU-only path.
-
-## Root Cause Analysis
-
-### GPU-only Execution Path
-
-```python
-# attention.py line 86-110
-def forward(self, q, k, v):
-    # ALWAYS store to cache first - OVERHEAD HERE
-    if k_cache.numel() and v_cache.numel():
-        store_kvcache(k, v, k_cache, v_cache, context.slot_mapping)  # ← Always executed
-
-    if context.is_prefill:
-        if context.sparse_prefill_policy is not None:
-            # MInference: uses k, v directly, NOT k_cache!
-            o = sparse_prefill_attention(q, k, v, layer_id)
-        else:
-            # Full attention: also uses k, v directly
-            o = flash_attn_varlen_func(q, k, v, ...)
-```
-
-**Key observation**: Prefill attention **never reads from cache** - it uses the computed k, v directly. But `store_kvcache` is always called before attention.
-
-### The `store_kvcache` Overhead
-
-```python
-# attention.py line 8-59
-def store_kvcache(key, value, k_cache, v_cache, slot_mapping):
-    # 1. Filter invalid slots (conditional logic)
-    valid_mask = slot_mapping >= 0
-    valid_slots = slot_mapping[valid_mask]
-    valid_keys = key[valid_mask]
-
-    # 2. Reshape for scatter operation
-    k_cache_flat = k_cache.view(total_slots, D)
-    valid_keys_flat = valid_keys.reshape(-1, D)
-
-    # 3. Scatter write via index_copy_ - EXPENSIVE!
-    k_cache_flat.index_copy_(0, valid_slots.long(), valid_keys_flat)
-    v_cache_flat.index_copy_(0, valid_slots.long(), valid_values_flat)
-```
-
-This scatter operation is called for **every layer** (28 layers for Qwen3-4B), writing **all tokens** (32K) to GPU cache.
-
-### Offload Path (No Such Overhead)
-
-```python
-# model_runner.py - run_layerwise_offload_prefill
-for layer_id in range(num_layers):
-    # QKV projection + RoPE
-    q, k = layer.self_attn.rotary_emb(positions, q, k)
-
-    # Sparse attention - directly uses k, v
-    attn_output = sparse_prefill_attention(q, k, v, layer_id)
-
-    # Contiguous copy to CPU - no scatter!
-    offload_engine.offload_layer_kv_sync(layer_id, k, v, cpu_block_ids, total_tokens)
-```
-
-## Memory Layout Comparison
-
-| Aspect | GPU-only (PagedAttention) | Offload (Contiguous) |
-|--------|---------------------------|----------------------|
-| **Layout** | `[num_blocks, block_size, heads, dim]` | `[seq_len, heads, dim]` |
-| **Write pattern** | Scatter via `index_copy_` | Contiguous `copy_()` |
-| **Indirection** | slot_mapping lookup | None |
-| **Memory efficiency** | High (shared block pool) | Low (reserved per seq) |
-| **Write performance** | Slow (memory-bound scatter) | Fast (simple DMA) |
-
-### Why PagedAttention Uses Scatter
-
-PagedAttention is designed for:
-1. **Multi-sequence batching**: Different sequences share a block pool
-2. **Dynamic memory management**: No need to reserve max_len per sequence
-3. **Prefix caching**: Shared KV blocks across sequences
-
-But for **single-sequence long-context** inference, these benefits don't apply, and we only pay the scatter overhead.
-
-## Why `store_kvcache` is Still Needed
-
-Even though prefill attention doesn't read from cache, **decode** does:
-
-```python
-# attention.py line 111-114
-else:  # decode
-    # Reads from cache!
-    o = flash_attn_with_kvcache(q, k_cache, v_cache, block_table=...)
-```
-
-So `store_kvcache` during prefill is preparing KV cache for future decode steps.
-
-## Potential Optimizations
-
-### Option 1: Async Store After Attention (Low Effort)
-
-Move `store_kvcache` after attention computation and make it async:
-
-```python
-def forward(self, q, k, v):
-    if context.is_prefill:
-        # Compute attention first
-        if context.sparse_prefill_policy is not None:
-            o = sparse_prefill_attention(q, k, v, layer_id)
-        else:
-            o = flash_attn_varlen_func(q, k, v, ...)
-
-        # Then store async (overlaps with next layer's QKV)
-        if k_cache.numel():
-            store_kvcache_async(k, v, k_cache, v_cache, slot_mapping)
-    ...
-```
-
-**Expected benefit**: Overlap store with compute, ~20-30% improvement.
-
-### Option 2: Contiguous Layout for Single-Sequence Mode (Medium Effort)
-
-Add a "contiguous mode" for single-sequence long-context:
-
-```python
-class ContiguousKVCache:
-    """Simple contiguous KV cache for single-sequence mode."""
-    def __init__(self, num_layers, max_seq_len, num_kv_heads, head_dim, dtype):
-        self.k_cache = torch.zeros(num_layers, max_seq_len, num_kv_heads, head_dim, dtype=dtype)
-        self.v_cache = torch.zeros(num_layers, max_seq_len, num_kv_heads, head_dim, dtype=dtype)
-
-    def store(self, layer_id, k, v, start_pos):
-        # Simple contiguous write - no scatter!
-        seq_len = k.shape[0]
-        self.k_cache[layer_id, start_pos:start_pos+seq_len] = k
-        self.v_cache[layer_id, start_pos:start_pos+seq_len] = v
-```
-
-**Expected benefit**: Match or exceed offload performance (~60% improvement).
-
-### Option 3: Fused Store-Attention Kernel (High Effort)
-
-Create a fused Triton kernel that:
-1. Computes QKV projection
-2. Stores K, V to cache
-3. Computes attention
-
-This eliminates memory roundtrips entirely.
-
-**Expected benefit**: Best possible performance, but high implementation complexity.
-
-## Recommended Action
-
-For **single-sequence long-context** workloads (the primary use case for MInference):
-
-1. **Short term**: Use offload mode - it's actually faster!
-2. **Medium term**: Implement Option 1 (async store) for quick win
-3. **Long term**: Consider Option 2 (contiguous layout) for GPU-only mode
-
-## Performance Measurement
-
-To reproduce the benchmark:
-
-```bash
-# GPU-only + MInference
-PYTHONPATH=/path/to/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_needle.py \
-    --model ~/models/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507/ \

-# Offload + MInference

+# Known Issues and Fixes
+
+This document documents bugs that were discovered and fixed in nano-vLLM.
+
+---
+
+## Partial Last Block Bug (FIXED ✓)
+
+### Problem
+
+When prefill token count is not an exact multiple of `block_size`, decode outputs garbage.
+
+### Root Cause
+
+`_chunked_decode_attention` calculated `last_block_valid_tokens` using `len(seq) - 1`, which increases during decode. But CPU blocks are fixed after prefill!
+
+```python
+# BUG: len(seq) increases each decode step
+total_prefill_tokens = len(seq) - 1  # Wrong!
+last_block_valid_tokens = total_prefill_tokens % block_size  # Reads garbage from CPU
+```
+
+### Fix
+
+Cache original prefill length in `HybridKVCacheManager.get_prefill_len()`:
+
+```python
+# CORRECT: Use cached prefill length
+total_prefill_tokens = kvcache_manager.get_prefill_len(seq)  # Fixed value
+```
+
+### Files Modified
+
+- `nanovllm/kvcache/hybrid_manager.py`: Added `_prefill_len` dict and `get_prefill_len()` method
+- `nanovllm/layers/attention.py`: Use `get_prefill_len()` instead of `len(seq) - 1`
+
+### Verification
+
+Tested with various prefill lengths (not multiples of block_size):
+- 100 tokens (block_size=1024)
+- 5000 tokens (block_size=4096)
+- 15000 tokens (block_size=4096)
+
+All tests now produce correct output.
+
+---
+
+## Block Size 4096 Race Condition (FIXED ✓)
+
+### Problem
+
+`block_size=4096` with multiple chunks produced `index_copy_(): index out of bounds` CUDA error during Chunk 2 processing.
+
+### Root Cause
+
+Race condition between default stream and compute stream. In `_prepare_chunked_offload_chunk()`, `slot_mapping` tensor was created with `non_blocking=True` H2D transfer on the default stream. However, `store_kvcache` runs on `compute_stream`. Without synchronization, `compute_stream` could use `slot_mapping` before its transfer completed, causing corrupted indices.
+
+### Fix
+
+Added explicit stream synchronization in `attention.py`:
+
+```python
+if is_chunked_offload:
+    compute_stream = context.kvcache_manager.offload_engine.compute_stream
+    if k_cache.numel() and v_cache.numel():
+        # CRITICAL: Wait for default stream to ensure slot_mapping tensor transfer is complete
+        compute_stream.wait_stream(torch.cuda.default_stream())
+        with torch.cuda.stream(compute_stream):
+            store_kvcache(k, v, k_cache, v_cache, context.slot_mapping)
+```
+
+### Verification
+
+Tested block sizes: 512, 1024, 4096, 8192 - all pass.
+
+### Files Modified
+
+- `nanovllm/layers/attention.py`: Added `compute_stream.wait_stream(torch.cuda.default_stream())`

-v_full = torch.cat([v_prefill, v_decode_prev, v_new], dim=0)  # New allocation each layer
-```
-
-**Optimized**:
-```python
-# Pre-allocate in OffloadEngine.__init__():
-self.k_full_buffer = torch.zeros(max_seq_len + block_size, num_kv_heads, head_dim, ...)
-self.v_full_buffer = torch.zeros(max_seq_len + block_size, num_kv_heads, head_dim, ...)
-
-# In decode loop:
-total_len = prefill_len + num_decode_tokens
-k_full = self.k_full_buffer[:total_len]
-k_full[:prefill_len].copy_(k_prefill)
-k_full[prefill_len:prefill_len+num_decode_prev].copy_(k_decode_prev)
-k_full[-1:].copy_(k_new)
-```
-
-**Savings**: ~512 MB per decode step (for 128k)
-
-### 5.2 Decode: Reuse cu_seqlens_k
-
-**Current** (L710):
-```python
-cu_seqlens_k = torch.tensor([0, total_kv_tokens], dtype=torch.int32, device="cuda")
-```
-
-**Optimized**:
-```python
-# Pre-allocate once:
-self.cu_seqlens_k = torch.zeros(2, dtype=torch.int32, device="cuda")
-
-# In decode loop:
-self.cu_seqlens_k[1] = total_kv_tokens
-```
-
-**Savings**: Negligible memory, but reduces allocation overhead.
-
-### 5.3 RoPE: In-place or Pre-allocated Buffers
-
-The RoPE implementation creates multiple float32 intermediate tensors. Options:
-1. Pre-allocate buffers for Q and K rotary outputs
-2. Use in-place operations where possible
-3. Use fused RoPE kernel (e.g., from FlashAttention)
-
-**Potential savings**: ~1.5 GB during prefill per layer
-
-### 5.4 MLP: Cannot Optimize Easily
-
-The MLP `gate_up` tensor is inherently required for the gated activation:
-```python
-gate_up = gate_up_proj(x)  # [seq_len, 2 × intermediate_size]
-x, y = gate_up.chunk(2, -1)
-output = silu(x) * y
-```
-
-This is a fundamental computation pattern. Potential optimizations:
-- Chunked MLP computation (process seq_len in chunks)
-- Fused kernels that avoid materializing full gate_up

-## 8. Empirical Validation
-
-This section validates the theoretical memory analysis against actual measurements.
-
-### 8.1 Test Configuration
-
-```bash
-python tests/test_needle.py --enable-offload --input-len 100000 --block-size 1024
-```
-
-**Parameters:**
-- Model: Qwen3-4B-Instruct
-- `seq_len = 100000` (actual tokens: 99925)
-- `block_size = 1024`
-- `max_model_len = 131072`
-- `num_kv_buffers = 4`
-
-### 8.2 Theoretical Peak Memory Calculation
-
-#### Step 1: Model Load Memory
-
-| Component | Formula | Size |
-|-----------|---------|------|
-| Model weights | ~4B params × 2 bytes | ~8 GB |
-| Ring buffer | 2 × 4 × 131072 × 1024 × 2 | 2048 MB |
-| Decode buffer | 2 × 36 × 1024 × 1024 × 2 | 144 MB |
-| **Subtotal** | | **~10.2 GB** |
-
-#### Step 2: Prefill Activation Peak (per-layer)
-
-| Component | Formula | Size |
-|-----------|---------|------|
-| hidden_states | 100000 × 2560 × 2 | 512 MB |
-| residual | 100000 × 2560 × 2 | 512 MB |
-| MLP gate_up | 100000 × 27392 × 2 | **5478 MB** |
-| MLP silu×gate | 100000 × 13696 × 2 | 2739 MB |
-| Other intermediates (qkv, RoPE, attn) | ~1-2 GB | ~1500 MB |
-| **Subtotal** | | **~10 GB** |
-
-#### Step 3: Total Peak
-
-```
-Total Peak = Model Load + Activation Peak
-           = 10.2 GB + 10 GB
-           = ~20.2 GB
-```
-
-### 8.3 Actual Measurement Results
-
-```python
-import torch
-torch.cuda.reset_peak_memory_stats()
-# ... run inference ...
-peak = torch.cuda.max_memory_allocated()
-```
-
-| Metric | Value |
-|--------|-------|
-| After model load | 9.82 GB |
-| Peak during inference | **20.02 GB** |
-| Activation peak (delta) | 10.20 GB |
-
-### 8.4 Comparison: Theory vs Actual
-
-| Component | Theoretical | Actual | Error |
-|-----------|-------------|--------|-------|
-| Model load memory | ~10.2 GB | 9.82 GB | -3.7% |
-| Activation peak | ~10 GB | 10.20 GB | +2.0% |
-| **Total peak** | **~20.2 GB** | **20.02 GB** | **< 1%** |
-
-### 8.5 Key Findings
-
-1. **Theoretical model is accurate**: < 5% error in all components.
-
-2. **MLP gate_up is the dominant temporary**:
-   - Size: 5.35 GB (for 100k tokens)
-   - Accounts for ~50% of activation peak
-   - Formula: `seq_len × 2 × intermediate_size × dtype_size`
-
-3. **Memory scaling with sequence length**:
-   | seq_len | Model Load | Activation Peak | Total Peak |
-   |---------|------------|-----------------|------------|
-   | 8k | ~10 GB | ~0.8 GB | ~11 GB |
-   | 32k | ~10 GB | ~3.2 GB | ~13 GB |
-   | 64k | ~10 GB | ~6.4 GB | ~16 GB |
-   | 100k | ~10 GB | ~10 GB | ~20 GB |
-   | 128k | ~10 GB | ~13 GB | ~23 GB |
-
-4. **Decode memory is much smaller**:
-   - Per-step: ~512 MB for k_full + v_full (at 100k context)
-   - Does not grow with decode steps (constant per layer)
-
-### 8.6 Memory Profiling Script

-# Multi-Model Support
-
-本文档描述 nanovllm 的多模型支持架构，以及如何添加新模型。
-
-## 概述
-
-nanovllm 通过模型注册表 (Model Registry) 机制支持多种模型架构。系统根据 HuggingFace config 中的 `architectures` 字段自动选择对应的模型实现。
-
-### 当前支持的模型
-
-| 架构 | 模型示例 | 文件 |
-|------|---------|------|
-| `Qwen3ForCausalLM` | Qwen3-0.6B, Qwen3-4B | `nanovllm/models/qwen3.py` |
-| `Qwen2ForCausalLM` | Qwen2.5-7B | `nanovllm/models/qwen3.py` |
-| `LlamaForCausalLM` | Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct | `nanovllm/models/llama.py` |
-
-## 架构设计
-
-### 模型注册表
-
-```
-nanovllm/models/
-├── __init__.py      # 导出 get_model_class, 导入所有模型
-├── registry.py      # 注册表核心: MODEL_REGISTRY, @register_model
-├── qwen3.py         # Qwen3/Qwen2 实现
-└── llama.py         # Llama 实现
-```
-
-### 动态模型加载流程
-
-```
-LLM(model_path)
-  → Config.__post_init__()
-    → hf_config = AutoConfig.from_pretrained(model_path)
-  → ModelRunner.__init__()
-    → model_class = get_model_class(hf_config)  # 根据 architectures 选择
-    → model = model_class(hf_config)
-    → load_model(model, model_path)
-```
-
-## 添加新模型
-
-### 步骤 1: 创建模型文件
-
-在 `nanovllm/models/` 下创建新文件，例如 `mistral.py`:
-
-```python
-import torch
-from torch import nn
-import torch.distributed as dist
-
-from nanovllm.layers.activation import SiluAndMul
-from nanovllm.layers.attention import Attention
-from nanovllm.layers.layernorm import RMSNorm
-from nanovllm.layers.linear import QKVParallelLinear, MergedColumnParallelLinear, RowParallelLinear
-from nanovllm.layers.rotary_embedding import get_rope
-from nanovllm.layers.embed_head import VocabParallelEmbedding, ParallelLMHead
-from nanovllm.models.registry import register_model
-
-
-class MistralAttention(nn.Module):
-    def __init__(self, ...):
-        # 实现注意力层
-        pass
-
-class MistralMLP(nn.Module):
-    def __init__(self, ...):
-        # 实现 MLP 层
-        pass
-
-class MistralDecoderLayer(nn.Module):
-    def __init__(self, config):
-        # 组合 Attention + MLP
-        pass
-
-class MistralModel(nn.Module):
-    def __init__(self, config):
-        # Embedding + Layers + Norm
-        pass
-
-@register_model("MistralForCausalLM")
-class MistralForCausalLM(nn.Module):
-    # 权重映射 (HF 权重名 -> nanovllm 权重名)
-    packed_modules_mapping = {
-        "q_proj": ("qkv_proj", "q"),
-        "k_proj": ("qkv_proj", "k"),
-        "v_proj": ("qkv_proj", "v"),
-        "gate_proj": ("gate_up_proj", 0),
-        "up_proj": ("gate_up_proj", 1),
-    }
-
-    def __init__(self, config):
-        super().__init__()
-        self.model = MistralModel(config)
-        self.lm_head = ParallelLMHead(config.vocab_size, config.hidden_size)
-
-    def forward(self, input_ids, positions):
-        return self.model(input_ids, positions)
-
-    def compute_logits(self, hidden_states):
-        return self.lm_head(hidden_states)
-```
-
-### 步骤 2: 注册模型
-
-在 `nanovllm/models/__init__.py` 中导入新模型:
-
-```python
-from nanovllm.models import mistral  # 添加这行
-```
-
-### 步骤 3: 处理特殊配置
-
-如果模型有特殊的 RoPE scaling 或其他配置，需要在相应的 layer 中添加支持。
-
-## 模型架构差异
-
-### Qwen3 vs Llama
-
-| 特性 | Qwen3 | Llama |
-|------|-------|-------|
-| QKV Bias | 可配置 (`attention_bias`) | 无 |
-| Q/K Norm | 有 (RMSNorm, 当 bias=False) | 无 |
-| MLP Bias | 无 | 无 |
-| RoPE Scaling | 无 | llama3 类型 |
-| RoPE Theta | 1,000,000 | 500,000 |
-
-### RoPE Scaling 支持
-
-目前支持的 RoPE 类型:
-
-| `rope_type` | 说明 | 模型 |
-|-------------|------|------|
-| `None` | 标准 RoPE | Qwen3 |
-| `llama3` | Llama 3 频率缩放 | Llama 3.1 |
-
-Llama3 RoPE 特点:
-- 低频分量 (长距离依赖): 缩放 1/factor
-- 高频分量 (短距离依赖): 保持不变
-- 中频分量: 平滑插值
-
-## 权重加载
-
-### packed_modules_mapping
-
-nanovllm 将多个 HuggingFace 权重合并到单个张量中以提高效率:
-
-```python
-packed_modules_mapping = {
-    # HF 权重名: (nanovllm 权重名, shard_id)
-    "q_proj": ("qkv_proj", "q"),  # Q 投影 -> QKV 合并
-    "k_proj": ("qkv_proj", "k"),  # K 投影 -> QKV 合并
-    "v_proj": ("qkv_proj", "v"),  # V 投影 -> QKV 合并
-    "gate_proj": ("gate_up_proj", 0),  # Gate -> Gate+Up 合并
-    "up_proj": ("gate_up_proj", 1),    # Up -> Gate+Up 合并
-}
-```
-
-### 权重加载流程
-
-```python
-# nanovllm/utils/loader.py
-def load_model(model, path):
-    for file in glob(path + "/*.safetensors"):
-        with safe_open(file) as f:
-            for weight_name in f.keys():
-                # 检查是否需要映射
-                if weight_name in packed_modules_mapping:
-                    # 使用自定义 weight_loader
-                    param.weight_loader(param, tensor, shard_id)
-                else:
-                    # 直接复制
-                    param.data.copy_(tensor)
-```
-
-## 测试验证
-
-### Needle-in-Haystack 测试
-
-```bash
-# Llama 3.1 (32K, offload 模式)
-CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tests/test_needle.py \
-    --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \

-## 注意事项
-
-1. **Tokenizer 差异**: 不同模型的 tokenizer 分词策略不同，例如 Llama 将 "7492" 分为 2 tokens，Qwen3 分为 4 tokens。
-
-2. **RoPE Scaling**: 如果模型使用非标准 RoPE，需要在 `rotary_embedding.py` 中添加支持。
-
-3. **CPU Offload**: 在 3090 等显存有限的 GPU 上，使用 `--enable-offload` 进行长上下文测试。
-
-4. **Lost in Middle**: LLM 对开头信息的记忆能力较弱，这是模型本身的限制，不是实现问题。

-# CPU Offload Accuracy Issue Investigation
-
-## Problem Summary
-
-**UPDATE (2026-01-12)**: Single request inference works correctly! The issue is with batch/sequential request handling.
-
-| Mode | Testing Method | Accuracy |
-|------|----------------|----------|
-| **CPU Offload** | **Independent** (1 request per process) | **100%** ✓ |
-| **CPU Offload** | Batch (multiple requests per process) | 66% ✗ |
-| **Non-Offload** | Batch | 100% ✓ |
-
-**Conclusion**: The offload implementation is correct for single requests. The bug is in state cleanup between sequential requests within the same process.
-
-## Test Environment
-
-- **Model**: Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
-- **Task**: RULER NIAH (Needle-In-A-Haystack) 32K context
-- **GPU**: NVIDIA A100-SXM4-80GB
-- **Data**: `tests/data/ruler_niah/niah_single_1_32k.jsonl` (100 samples)
-
-## Reproduction Commands
-
-### Non-Offload Mode (100% accuracy)
-
-```bash
-CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_ruler_niah.py \
-    --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
-    --gpu-utilization 0.7 \
-    --quiet
-```
-
-**Configuration**:
-- KV Cache: GPU only, 51 blocks (6528 MB)
-- Block size: 1024 tokens
-
-### Offload Mode (66% accuracy)
-
-```bash
-CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_ruler_niah.py \
-    --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
-    --enable-offload \
-    --quiet
-```
-
-**Configuration**:
-- KV Cache: GPU 4 blocks (512 MB) + CPU 32 blocks (4096 MB)
-- Ring buffer: 4 buffers × 33280 tokens (520 MB)
-- Per-layer decode buffer: 128 MB
-- Block size: 1024 tokens
-
-## Observed Failure Patterns
-
-From the 5-sample verbose test:
-
-| Sample | Expected | Offload Output | Status |
-|--------|----------|----------------|--------|
-| 0 | 8930103 | `: 8930103.` | PASS |
-| 1 | 4194548 | `: 419 multiplication of 4548.` | **FAIL** |
-| 2 | 8231838 | `:ное 8231838.` | PASS |
-| 3 | 8835373 | `: 8835373.` | PASS |
-| 4 | 7754864 | `aster 7754864.` | PASS |
-
-**Failure pattern**: The model sometimes produces corrupted or split outputs (e.g., "419 multiplication of 4548" instead of "4194548").
-
-## Architecture Overview
-
-### Offload Mode Data Flow
-
-```
-Prefill Phase:
-1. Input tokens → chunked into 2048-token chunks
-2. Each chunk processed layer by layer:
-   - Load KV from CPU → GPU ring buffer
-   - Compute attention
-   - Store KV back to CPU
-3. Ring buffer holds recent KV for decode
-
-Decode Phase:
-1. For each new token:
-   - Load all layer KV from CPU (one layer at a time)
-   - Compute attention against full context
-   - Generate next token

-### Key Components
-
-| File | Component | Description |
-|------|-----------|-------------|
-| `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py` | `OffloadEngine` | Manages CPU↔GPU KV cache transfers |
-| `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py` | `RingKVBuffer` | GPU ring buffer for recent KV |
-| `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py` | `run_chunked_offload_prefill()` | Chunked prefill with offload |
-| `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py` | `run_offload_decode()` | Layer-wise decode with offload |
-| `nanovllm/kvcache/hybrid_manager.py` | `HybridBlockManager` | CPU block allocation |
-
-## Potential Root Causes
-
-### 1. Ring Buffer Index/Position Issues
-
-**Location**: `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py`
-
-The ring buffer uses modular indexing. Potential issues:
-- Position calculation errors during prefill/decode transition
-- Off-by-one errors in KV storage/retrieval
-- Incorrect handling when sequence length approaches `max_seq_len`
-
-**Recent fix applied**: `max_seq_len = max_model_len + 512` to prevent overflow, but there may be other indexing issues.
-
-### 2. Chunked Prefill KV Storage
-
-**Location**: `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py:run_chunked_offload_prefill()`
-
-During chunked prefill:
-- KV computed for chunk N must be correctly stored before processing chunk N+1
-- Position IDs must be correctly accumulated across chunks
-- CPU block allocation must be contiguous and correctly tracked
-
-**Suspect areas**:
-```python
-# Check if positions are correctly tracked across chunks
-# Check if KV is correctly copied to CPU after each chunk
-# Check if ring buffer indices align with CPU block indices
-```
-
-### 3. Decode Phase KV Loading
-
-**Location**: `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py:run_offload_decode()`
-
-During decode:
-- Must load KV for ALL previous tokens (both prefill and decode)
-- Layer-by-layer loading must be synchronized correctly
-- Attention computation must use correct sequence length
-
-**Suspect areas**:
-```python
-# Check if decode loads KV for full context length
-# Check if new decode KV is stored correctly
-# Check if attention mask/positions are correct
-```
-
-### 4. CPU↔GPU Transfer Synchronization
-
-**Location**: `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py`
-
-CUDA streams and synchronization:
-- Async copies may complete out of order
-- Missing synchronization points could cause stale data
-- Stream priorities may affect correctness
-
-### 5. Numerical Precision
-
-- CPU tensors use float16/bfloat16
-- GPU computation precision
-- Potential precision loss during transfers
-
-## Debugging Strategy
-
-### Step 1: Identify Failing Samples
-
-```bash
-# Run verbose mode to see which samples fail
-CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_ruler_niah.py \
-    --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
-    --enable-offload \
-    --verbose 2>&1 | tee offload_verbose.log
-```
-
-### Step 2: Compare Token-by-Token
-
-Create a debug script to compare token generation between offload and non-offload modes for a failing sample:
-
-```python
-# Compare logits at each decode step
-# Check if divergence starts at a specific position
-# Log KV cache contents at divergence point
-```
-
-### Step 3: Verify KV Cache Contents
-
-Add debugging to `OffloadEngine`:
-
-```python
-# In store_kv(): Log what's being stored
-# In load_kv(): Log what's being loaded
-# Compare loaded KV with expected values
-```
-
-### Step 4: Check Position/Index Calculations
-
-```python
-# Log ring buffer write/read positions
-# Log CPU block indices
-# Verify position IDs match actual token positions
-```
-
-### Step 5: Isolate the Bug
-
-1. Test with shorter sequences (16K, 8K) to see if issue is length-dependent
-2. Test with single chunk (no chunking) to isolate chunked prefill
-3. Test prefill-only (no decode) to isolate decode phase
-
-## Quick Debugging Commands
-
-```bash
-# Test single failing sample with verbose output
-CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_ruler_niah.py \
-    --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
-    --enable-offload \
-    --sample-indices 1 \
-    --verbose
-
-# Test with different context lengths
-CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python tests/test_ruler_niah.py \
-    --model ~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
-    --enable-offload \
-    --max-model-len 16384 \
-    --verbose
-```

-## Test Results Log
-
-### 2026-01-12 (Updated - Independent Testing)
-
-**Key Finding**: When each sample is tested independently (separate Python process per sample), CPU offload achieves **100% accuracy**.
-
-| Test | Mode | Testing Method | Samples | Passed | Accuracy |
-|------|------|----------------|---------|--------|----------|
-| RULER NIAH 32K | CPU Offload | **Independent** (separate process) | 100 | 100 | **100%** |
-| RULER NIAH 32K | CPU Offload | Batch (single process) | 100 | 66 | 66% |
-| RULER NIAH 32K | Non-Offload | Batch (single process) | 100 | 100 | 100% |
-
-**Test Configuration (Independent Mode)**:
-- GPUs: 4x RTX 3090 (parallel testing)
-- Each sample: Fresh Python process with new LLM instance
-- Port: Each GPU uses unique port (2333+gpu_id)
-- Duration: 17.9 minutes for 100 samples
-- Throughput: 5.58 samples/min
-
-### 2025-01-12 (Original - Batch Testing)
-
-| Test | Mode | Samples | Passed | Accuracy |
-|------|------|---------|--------|----------|
-| RULER NIAH 32K | Non-Offload | 100 | 100 | 100% |
-| RULER NIAH 32K | CPU Offload | 100 | 66 | 66% |
-
-## Root Cause Analysis Update
-
-### Confirmed: Single Request Inference is Correct
-
-The 100% accuracy in independent testing mode confirms that:
-1. **Single request inference works correctly** - The offload engine, ring buffer, and chunked prefill are functioning properly for individual requests
-2. **The bug is in batch/sequential request handling** - State accumulation or incomplete cleanup between requests causes failures
-
-### Suspected Issue: State Accumulation Between Requests
-
-When multiple requests are processed in the same Python process:
-- The first request succeeds (e.g., Sample 0: PASS)
-- Subsequent requests may fail due to:
-  - Residual state in ring buffer
-  - Incomplete KV cache cleanup
-  - Position tracking errors across requests
-  - CPU block allocation fragmentation
-
-### Evidence
-
-From batch mode testing (5 samples):
-| Sample | Expected | Output | Status |
-|--------|----------|--------|--------|
-| 0 | 8930103 | `: 8930103.` | PASS (first request) |
-| 1 | 4194548 | `: 419 multiplication of 4548.` | **FAIL** (second request) |
-| 2 | 8231838 | `:ное 8231838.` | PASS |
-| 3 | 8835373 | `: 8835373.` | PASS |
-| 4 | 7754864 | `aster 7754864.` | PASS |
-
-The corrupted output in Sample 1 suggests interference from Sample 0's state.
-
-## Workaround
-
-Use independent testing mode (separate process per request) for production evaluation:
-
-```bash
-# Using test_ruler_niah.sh for parallel independent testing
-./tests/test_ruler_niah.sh --gpus "0,1,2,3" --total 100
-
-# Or manually run each sample in a separate process
-for i in $(seq 0 99); do
-    CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tests/test_ruler_niah.py \
-        --enable-offload --sample-indices $i --quiet
-done
-```
-
-## Next Steps
-
-1. [x] ~~Identify pattern in failing samples~~ → Pattern: First sample usually passes, failures occur in subsequent samples
-2. [ ] **Investigate state cleanup between requests in offload mode**
-   - Check `OffloadEngine` reset/cleanup logic
-   - Check ring buffer state between requests
-   - Check CPU block manager cleanup
-3. [ ] Add `reset()` method to `OffloadEngine` for explicit state cleanup
-4. [ ] Compare state between first and second request in batch mode
-5. [ ] Write unit test that reproduces the batch mode failure

+# Optimization Guide
+
+This document describes performance optimizations implemented in nano-vLLM, including sgDMA, Triton fused kernels, and N-way pipeline.
+
+---
+
+## Scatter-Gather DMA (sgDMA) - INTEGRATED ✓
+
+### Problem
+
+Strided CPU cache access `k_cache_cpu[:, block_id]` caused slow Device→Pageable transfers at ~1.4 GB/s instead of optimal ~24 GB/s pinned memory bandwidth.
+
+### Solution
+
+Implemented `cudaMemcpy2D` via custom CUDA extension to handle strided layouts natively.
+
+**Integration complete**: 2025-12-25
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```python
+from nanovllm.comm import memcpy_2d_async
+
+# Transfer block_id across all layers
+spitch = num_blocks * features * dtype_size  # stride between layers
+dpitch = features * dtype_size               # contiguous destination
+width = features * dtype_size                # bytes per row
+height = num_layers                          # number of rows
+
+memcpy_2d_async(gpu_buf, cpu_cache[:, block_id], dpitch, spitch, width, height, "h2d", stream)
+```
+
+### Benchmark Performance (Synthetic, 256MB)
+
+| Method | Bandwidth | Speedup |
+|--------|-----------|---------|
+| **cudaMemcpy2D (sgDMA)** | **24.95 GB/s** | **Baseline** |
+| PyTorch strided | 4.25 GB/s | **5.87x slower** |
+| PyTorch contiguous | 24.92 GB/s | Same |
+
+### Real-World Performance (A100, Attention Offload)
+
+**Measured from `test_attention_offload.py` profiling**:
+
+| Transfer Type | Count | Bandwidth | Previous | Speedup |
+|---------------|-------|-----------|----------|---------|
+| **Device→Pinned (D2H)** | 416 | **21.49 GB/s** | 1.40 GB/s | **15.35x** |
+| **Pinned→Device (H2D)** | 24,960 | **23.39 GB/s** | N/A | N/A |
+| Device→Pageable (D2H) | **0** | N/A | ~40 transfers | **Eliminated** |
+
+**Verification**: All slow Device→Pageable transfers eliminated. System achieves near-optimal PCIe Gen3 x16 bandwidth.
+
+### Files
+
+- `csrc/sgdma_kernel.cu`, `csrc/sgdma.cpp`: CUDA extension
+- `nanovllm/comm/sgdma.py`: Python API
+- `kvcache/offload_engine.py`: Integration (4 methods updated)
+
+### Build
+
+```bash
+python setup.py build_ext --inplace
+```
+
+### Integration Details
+
+**Modified methods in `offload_engine.py`**:
+- `load_to_slot_all_layers()`: H2D ring buffer load
+- `offload_slot_to_cpu()`: D2H ring buffer offload
+- `offload_decode_slot()`: D2H decode slot offload
+- `load_cpu_blocks_to_gpu_slots_all_layers()`: Batch H2D load
+
+**Example replacement**:
+```python
+# Before (slow, Device→Pageable fallback)
+self.k_cache_gpu[:, slot].copy_(self.k_cache_cpu[:, cpu_block], non_blocking=True)
+
+# After (fast, Device→Pinned via sgDMA)
+memcpy_2d_async(
+    self.k_cache_gpu[:, slot], self.k_cache_cpu[:, cpu_block],
+    self.gpu_pitch, self.cpu_pitch, self.width, self.height,
+    "h2d", stream=self.transfer_stream_main
+)
+```
+
+**Actual Impact**: 15.35x faster D2H transfers, eliminates memory transfer bottleneck. Expected 2-3x overall prefill throughput improvement.

+
+## Online Softmax Merge - Triton Fused Kernel ✓
+
+### Problem
+
+Original PyTorch implementation of `merge_attention_outputs()` launches 7 separate kernels per merge operation:
+
+1. `torch.maximum()` - max(lse1, lse2)
+2. `torch.exp()` (2x) - exp(lse1-max), exp(lse2-max)
+3. `transpose()` + `unsqueeze()` - reshape for broadcasting
+4. Accumulation (6x) - weighted sum operations
+5. Division - normalize output
+6. `torch.log()` - merge LSE
+7. `.to()` - type conversion
+
+**Profiling revealed**: In ChunkedPrefill with 8 layers, these operations consumed **698 ms** GPU time (vs FlashAttention 603 ms), becoming a major bottleneck.
+
+### Solution
+
+Implemented Triton fused kernels that combine all operations into 2 kernels.
+
+**Integration complete**: 2025-12-25
+
+### Implementation
+
+**File**: `nanovllm/kvcache/chunked_attention.py:278-408`
+
+Two Triton kernels replace all PyTorch operations:
+
+```python
+@triton.jit
+def _merge_lse_kernel(...):
+    """Fused: max + exp + log"""
+    max_lse = tl.maximum(lse1, lse2)
+    exp1 = tl.exp(lse1 - max_lse)
+    exp2 = tl.exp(lse2 - max_lse)
+    lse_merged = max_lse + tl.log(exp1 + exp2)
+    tl.store(lse_out_ptr + offsets, lse_merged, mask=mask)
+
+@triton.jit
+def _merge_output_kernel(...):
+    """Fused: broadcast + weighted sum + division"""
+    # Load LSE, compute scaling factors
+    exp1 = tl.exp(lse1 - max_lse)
+    exp2 = tl.exp(lse2 - max_lse)
+    sum_exp = exp1 + exp2
+
+    # Process headdim in chunks
+    for d_offset in range(0, headdim, BLOCK_SIZE):
+        o1_val = tl.load(o1_ptr + o_idx, mask=mask)
+        o2_val = tl.load(o2_ptr + o_idx, mask=mask)
+        o_merged = (o1_val * exp1 + o2_val * exp2) / sum_exp
+        tl.store(o_out_ptr + o_idx, o_merged, mask=mask)
+```
+
+### Performance Results
+
+**From `test_attention_offload.py` profiling** (8 layers, 16K tokens, 16 chunks, 10 iterations):
+
+| Metric | PyTorch (7 kernels) | Triton (2 kernels) | Speedup |
+|--------|---------------------|---------------------|---------|
+| **GPU time (8 layers)** | 698 ms | 160.7 ms | **4.3x** |
+| **Per-layer time** | 87.3 ms | 20.1 ms | **4.3x** |
+| **Avg per merge** | 56 µs | 12.9 µs | **4.3x** |
+| **Kernel launches** | 10,920 | 3,120 | **71% reduction** |
+
+**Breakdown** (per-layer, 1,560 merges):
+- `_merge_output_kernel`: 126.9 ms / 8 = 15.9 ms/layer (avg 10.2 µs/call)
+- `_merge_lse_kernel`: 33.8 ms / 8 = 4.2 ms/layer (avg 2.7 µs/call)
+
+### Overall ChunkedPrefill Impact
+
+**GPU time distribution** (test_attention_offload.py):
+
+| Component | Time (ms) | Percentage |
+|-----------|-----------|------------|
+| FlashAttention | 603.2 | 74.8% |
+| Triton Merge | 160.7 | 19.9% |
+| Other | 42.1 | 5.3% |
+| **Total** | **806.0** | **100%** |
+
+**If using PyTorch merge** (estimated):
+- Total GPU time: ~1,343 ms
+- **Overall speedup with Triton**: 1.67x

+
+## N-way Pipeline with Dedicated Streams ✓
+
+### Problem
+
+Original implementation used only 2-slot double buffering, limiting compute-transfer overlap.
+
+### Solution
+
+Implemented N-way pipeline using all available GPU slots with per-slot transfer streams and dedicated compute stream.
+
+**Integration complete**: 2025-12-25
+
+### Architecture
+
+```
+Transfer Streams: [slot_0_stream] [slot_1_stream] ... [slot_N_stream]
+                       ↓              ↓                    ↓
+GPU Slots:          [slot_0]      [slot_1]    ...     [slot_N]
+                       ↓              ↓                    ↓
+Compute Stream:    ←←←←←←←←←←←← [dedicated compute stream] →→→→→→→→→→→→
+```
+
+### Key Design Decisions
+
+1. **Per-slot transfer streams**: Each GPU slot has its own CUDA stream for H2D transfers, enabling parallel loading
+
+2. **Dedicated compute stream**: Created with `torch.cuda.Stream()` (NOT `current_stream()`) to avoid implicit synchronization with CUDA default stream
+
+3. **CUDA Events**:
+   - `ring_slot_ready`: Signals transfer complete
+   - `ring_slot_compute_done`: Signals safe to overwrite slot
+
+### Performance Impact
+
+**2.0x improvement**: 7.2k → 14.1k tok/s (16K tokens prefill)
+
+---
+
+## Overall Performance Summary
+
+### Completed Optimizations ✓
+
+| Optimization | Date | Impact |
+|--------------|------|--------|
+| **sgDMA Integration** | 2025-12-25 | 15.35x faster memory transfers (21-23 GB/s) |
+| **Triton Fused Merge** | 2025-12-25 | 4.3x faster merges, 1.67x overall ChunkedPrefill |
+| **N-way Pipeline** | 2025-12-25 | 2.0x prefill throughput improvement |
+
+### Current Bottlenecks
+
+**From profiling** (`test_attention_offload.py`, 8 layers, 16K tokens):
+
+| Component | GPU Time | Percentage | Optimization Potential |
+|-----------|----------|------------|------------------------|
+| FlashAttention | 603 ms | 74.8% | ⚠️ Main bottleneck |
+| Triton Merge | 161 ms | 19.9% | ✓ Optimized |
+| Other | 42 ms | 5.3% | Minor |
+
+### Future Optimization Directions
+
+1. **FlashAttention Optimization** (highest priority)
+   - Current: 74.8% of GPU time
+   - Potential: Custom FlashAttention kernel for chunked case
+   - Expected: 1.5-2x additional speedup
+
+2. **Alternative to sgDMA** (lower priority, PyTorch-only)
+   - Reorganize cache layout: `[num_cpu_blocks, num_layers, ...]` instead of `[num_layers, num_cpu_blocks, ...]`
+   - Trade-off: Extensive refactoring vs minimal sgDMA approach
+   - Same performance as sgDMA (~24 GB/s)

-
-## 发现的问题及修复
-
-### 问题: FWE 测试崩溃
-
-**症状**: 第 63 个样本处触发 `AssertionError: No sequences scheduled`
-
-**根因分析**:
-1. Sample 63 的输入有 32760 tokens（接近 max_model_len=32768）
-2. Decode 到第 9 步时，需要第 33 个 KV block
-3. 但系统只配置了 32 个 blocks（32768/1024=32）
-4. 调度器尝试 preempt 但单序列模式下无法恢复
-
-**解决方案**:
-```python
-# 修改前
-DEFAULT_MAX_MODEL_LEN = 32768
-
-# 修改后: 为 output tokens 预留空间
-DEFAULT_MAX_MODEL_LEN = 32896  # 32768 + 128
-```
-
-**建议的代码改进**:
-1. 在 scheduler 中添加死锁检测和清晰错误信息
-2. 在配置验证时，如果 max_model_len 与 max_input 过于接近，发出警告
-
-## 评估方法
-
-遵循 RULER 官方评估标准:
-- **NIAH/VT/CWE/FWE**: `string_match_all` - 召回率 (找到的参考数/总参考数)
-- **QA**: `string_match_part` - 任意参考匹配即满分
-
-参考: https://github.com/NVIDIA/RULER
-
-## 测试配置
-
-```python
-LLM(
-    model_path="~/models/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct",
-    max_model_len=32896,
-    max_num_batched_tokens=32896,
-    enable_cpu_offload=True,
-    num_gpu_blocks=4,
-    kvcache_block_size=1024,
-    enforce_eager=True,
-)
-```
-
-## 结论
-
-1. **长上下文检索能力**: nano-vllm CPU offload 模式在 32K 上下文下表现优秀，NIAH 类任务准确率接近 100%
-
-2. **复杂推理能力**: QA 任务准确率较低 (65%)，这是模型本身能力的体现，与 offload 机制无关
-
-3. **稳定性**: 修复 max_model_len 配置后，所有 1300 个样本测试均稳定完成
-
-4. **性能**: 单样本测试时间约 25-35 秒，主要受 CPU-GPU 数据传输影响

-# RULER NIAH Standalone Test Plan
-
-## Overview
-
-This document describes how to independently test nano-vllm's CPU offload functionality using RULER benchmark's NIAH (Needle-In-A-Haystack) task data.
-
-## Background
-
-### Problem Being Investigated
-
-When running 32K sequence length tests with CPU offload mode, the model outputs garbled text instead of finding the magic number. This issue was traced to:
-
-- **Root Cause**: Ring buffer `max_seq_len` was set equal to `max_model_len` (32768)
-- **Issue**: When prefill uses ~32K tokens, decode needs to store KV at position 32768+, but ring buffer only has indices 0-32767
-- **Fix Applied**: In `nanovllm/kvcache/__init__.py`, changed `max_seq_len = max_model_len + 512`
-
-### Test Objective
-
-Verify that the fix works correctly by running a standalone test with actual RULER NIAH data.
-
-## Step 1: Copy Test Data
-
-### Source Location
-
-```
-/home/zijie/Code/x-attention/eval/RULER/scripts/benchmark_root/full_fuse_16_llama3.1-8b-chat/synthetic/32768/data/niah_single_1/validation.jsonl
-```
-
-### Data Format
-
-Each line is a JSON object:
-
-```json
-{
-  "index": 0,
-  "input": "<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>\n\nA special magic number is hidden within the following text...",
-  "outputs": ["8930103"],
-  "length": 32768
-}
-```
-
-- `input`: Full prompt with Llama 3.1 chat template (~122K characters, ~30K tokens)
-- `outputs`: Expected answer (the magic number to find)
-- `length`: Target sequence length in tokens
-
-### Copy Command
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p /home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm/tests/data/ruler_niah
-cp /home/zijie/Code/x-attention/eval/RULER/scripts/benchmark_root/full_fuse_16_llama3.1-8b-chat/synthetic/32768/data/niah_single_1/validation.jsonl \
-   /home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm/tests/data/ruler_niah/niah_single_1_32k.jsonl
-```
-
-## Step 2: Create Test Script
-
-Create `/home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm/tests/test_ruler_niah_32k.py`:
-
-```python
-"""
-Standalone test for RULER NIAH task with 32K context length.

-## Step 3: Run Test
-
-### Single Sample Test
-

-CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=2,3,4,5 python tests/test_ruler_niah_32k.py
-```
-
-### All 5 Samples
-

-cd /home/zijie/Code/nano-vllm
-CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=2,3,4,5 python tests/test_ruler_niah_32k.py --all
-```
-
-## Step 4: Expected Results
-
-### Before Fix (Bug)
-
-- Output: Garbled text like "not only has been replaced by thesiums..."
-- Score: 0% (magic number not found)
-- Time: ~80 seconds per sample
-
-### After Fix (Expected)
-
-- Output: The magic number (e.g., "8930103")
-- Score: ~100% (magic number found)
-- Time: ~80 seconds per sample (same, as the compute is unchanged)
-
-## Debugging Tips
-
-### Enable Verbose Logging
-
-```python
-import logging
-logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
-```
-
-### Check Ring Buffer Size
-
-In the logs, verify:
-```
-OffloadEngine initializing: num_layers=32, num_kv_buffers=4, max_seq_len=33280
-```
-
-The `max_seq_len` should be `32768 + 512 = 33280` (not 32768).
-
-### Monitor GPU Memory
-
-```bash
-watch -n 1 nvidia-smi
-```
-
-With CPU offload, GPU memory for KV cache should be ~640MB (ring buffer only).

-- **Task**: Extract the magic number when asked
-
-### Sample Prompt Structure
-
-```
-<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>
-
-A special magic number is hidden within the following text. Make sure to memorize it. I will quiz you about the number afterwards.
-
-[... ~30K tokens of haystack text ...]
-
-The special magic number for worried-purse is 8930103.
-
-[... more haystack text ...]
-
-What is the special magic number for worried-purse mentioned in the provided text?
-<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>

+## Quest Sparse Policy
 
 **Files**: `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/quest.py`, `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/policy.py`
 
-Quest policy is used in nano-vLLM for CPU offload mode. It selects Top-K blocks based on query-key similarity bounds using min/max key metadata.
+### Core Idea
+
+Quest policy selects Top-K blocks based on query-key similarity bounds using min/max key metadata. This enables efficient block selection for CPU offload scenarios.
 
 ### Scoring Mechanism
 
 ```python
+# Compute scores using key metadata bounds
 score_min = torch.einsum('hd,bhd->bh', q, key_min)  # [num_blocks, kv_heads]
 score_max = torch.einsum('hd,bhd->bh', q, key_max)  # [num_blocks, kv_heads]
 scores = torch.maximum(score_min, score_max).mean(dim=-1)  # [num_blocks] ← averaged!
@@ -470,12 +473,46 @@ Block C: both heads moderately need (+2, +2) → avg = +2 → selected
 ### Why Per-Head Scheduling is Infeasible
 
 1. **Memory Layout**: GPU cache stores all heads together `[block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]`
+
 2. **FlashAttention**: Requires complete heads - partial heads cause dimension mismatch
+
 3. **Block Granularity**: If any head needs a block, the entire block (all heads) must be loaded

+    query,           # [num_tokens, num_heads, head_dim]
+    key_min,         # [num_blocks, num_heads, head_dim]
+    key_max,         # [num_blocks, num_heads, head_dim]
+)
+```
+
+### Key Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Default | Description |
+|-----------|---------|-------------|
+| `topk` | 8 | Number of blocks to select |
+| `threshold` | 4.0 | Minimum score threshold for selection |
+
+### Integration with CPU Offload
+
+The Quest policy is used in conjunction with CPU offload to reduce the number of blocks transferred from CPU to GPU during decode:
+
+1. During prefill, all blocks are loaded (full attention)
+2. During decode, Quest selects only top-K important blocks
+3. Only selected blocks are transferred from CPU to GPU
+4. This reduces memory bandwidth requirements for long sequences

-# Sparse Policy Integration with Layerwise Offload
-
-This document describes the architecture and design of integrating sparse attention policies (MInference, Quest) with the layerwise CPU offload execution path.
-
-## Design Goals
-
-1. **Extend sparse policies to offload path**: GPU-only path already supports sparse policies, but layerwise offload bypasses them
-2. **Maintain encapsulation**: All `copy_()` operations must be inside OffloadEngine, not exposed to model_runner
-3. **Distinguish policy types**: Some policies affect attention computation (MInference), others affect KV load strategy (Quest)
-4. **Extensible architecture**: Easy to add new sparse policies in the future
-
-## Key Insight
-
-The existing sparse policy implementation works, but the layerwise offload path bypasses it:
-
-| Path | Attention Method | Sparse Support |
-|------|------------------|----------------|
-| GPU-only | `attention.py` → `sparse_prefill_attention()` | YES |
-| Layerwise offload | `model_runner.py` → `flash_attn_varlen_func()` | NO (direct call) |
-
-## Two Types of Sparse Policies
-
-The fundamental difference between sparse policies:
-
-| Policy | Affects Attention Computation | Affects KV Load Strategy | `select_blocks()` Behavior |
-|--------|------------------------------|--------------------------|---------------------------|
-| **MInference** | YES (`sparse_prefill_attention`) | NO | `return available_blocks` (all) |
-| **Quest** | NO | YES | Returns Top-K subset |
-
-- **MInference**: Only changes how attention is computed, doesn't affect external load/offload flow
-- **Quest**: Selectively loads only some blocks, affects H2D transfer
-
-## The `requires_block_selection` Interface Flag
-
-To distinguish these policy types, we add a flag to the base class:
-
-```python
-# nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/policy.py
-class SparsePolicy(ABC):
-    # Existing flags
-    supports_prefill: bool = True
-    supports_decode: bool = True
-
-    # NEW: Whether this policy requires selective block loading
-    # If True: OffloadEngine will call select_blocks() before loading
-    # If False: OffloadEngine will load all blocks (select_blocks ignored)
-    requires_block_selection: bool = False
-```
-
-### Policy Implementations
-
-```python
-# MInference: prefill-only, no block selection
-class MInferencePolicy(SparsePolicy):
-    supports_prefill = True
-    supports_decode = False
-    requires_block_selection = False  # Only affects attention computation
-
-# Quest: decode-only, requires block selection
-class QuestPolicy(SparsePolicy):
-    supports_prefill = False
-    supports_decode = True
-    requires_block_selection = True  # Affects KV load strategy
-
-# Full attention: baseline
-class FullAttentionPolicy(SparsePolicy):
-    supports_prefill = True
-    supports_decode = True
-    requires_block_selection = False  # Load all blocks
-```
-
-## OffloadEngine Encapsulation
-
-All KV cache operations are encapsulated in OffloadEngine. The model_runner never directly accesses internal storage.
-
-### Prefill: Synchronous Offload with Hooks
-
-```python
-# nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py
-def offload_layer_kv_sync(
-    self,
-    layer_id: int,
-    k: Tensor,
-    v: Tensor,
-    cpu_block_ids: List[int],
-    total_tokens: int,
-) -> None:
-    """
-    Synchronously offload layer KV to CPU.
-    Calls sparse policy hooks internally.
-    """
-    for i, cpu_block_id in enumerate(cpu_block_ids):
-        start = i * self.block_size
-        end = min(start + self.block_size, total_tokens)
-        actual_size = end - start
-
-        # Hook: notify sparse policy BEFORE offload (k still on GPU)
-        if self.sparse_policy is not None:
-            self.sparse_policy.on_prefill_offload(
-                cpu_block_id, layer_id, k[start:end], actual_size
-            )
-
-        # Synchronous copy to CPU (internal)
-        self.k_cache_cpu[layer_id, cpu_block_id, :actual_size].copy_(k[start:end])
-        self.v_cache_cpu[layer_id, cpu_block_id, :actual_size].copy_(v[start:end])
-```
-
-### Decode: Policy-Driven Block Loading
-
-```python
-def load_layer_kv_to_buffer_with_policy(
-    self,
-    buffer_idx: int,
-    layer_id: int,
-    cpu_block_ids: List[int],
-    valid_tokens_per_block: List[int],
-    query: Optional[Tensor] = None,
-) -> int:
-    """
-    Load layer KV to buffer, optionally using sparse policy for block selection.
-
-    Returns:
-        Total tokens loaded
-    """
-    # Check if policy requires block selection
-    if (self.sparse_policy is not None and
-        self.sparse_policy.requires_block_selection and
-        query is not None):
-        # Build context
-        ctx = PolicyContext(
-            query_chunk_idx=0,
-            num_query_chunks=1,
-            layer_id=layer_id,
-            query=query,
-            is_prefill=False,
-            block_size=self.block_size,
-        )
-        # Select blocks using policy
-        selected_blocks = self.sparse_policy.select_blocks(cpu_block_ids, ctx)
-
-        # Build valid_tokens for selected blocks
-        block_to_valid = {bid: vt for bid, vt in zip(cpu_block_ids, valid_tokens_per_block)}
-        selected_valid = [block_to_valid[bid] for bid in selected_blocks]
-
-        return self._load_blocks_to_buffer(
-            buffer_idx, layer_id, selected_blocks, selected_valid
-        )
-    else:
-        # Load all blocks (no selection)
-        return self._load_blocks_to_buffer(
-            buffer_idx, layer_id, cpu_block_ids, valid_tokens_per_block
-        )
-```
-
-## Prefill Integration (MInference)
-
-MInference only affects attention computation, not the load/offload flow:
-
-```python
-# nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py - run_layerwise_offload_prefill()
-def run_layerwise_offload_prefill(self, seqs):
-    ...
-    for layer_id in range(num_layers):
-        # QKV projection + RoPE
-        q, k = layer.self_attn.rotary_emb(positions, q, k)
-
-        # Sparse or Full attention
-        if self.sparse_prefill_policy is not None:
-            # MInference: only changes attention computation
-            attn_output = self.sparse_prefill_policy.sparse_prefill_attention(
-                q, k, v, layer_id
-            )
-        else:
-            # Full attention using FlashAttention
-            attn_output = flash_attn_varlen_func(q, k, v, ...)
-
-        # MLP
-        ...
-
-        # Offload ALL KV (MInference doesn't affect this)
-        offload_engine.offload_layer_kv_sync(layer_id, k, v, cpu_block_ids, total_tokens)
-```

-## Decode Integration (Quest - Infrastructure Ready)
-
-Quest affects block load strategy. The infrastructure is ready, full integration deferred.
-
-```python
-# nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py - run_layerwise_offload_decode()
-def run_layerwise_offload_decode(self, seqs):
-    ...
-    # Preload first N layers (no query available, full load)
-    for i in range(num_preload):
-        loaded_tokens[i] = offload_engine.load_layer_kv_to_buffer(
-            i, i, cpu_block_table, valid_tokens_per_block
-        )
-
-    for layer_id in range(num_layers):
-        current_buffer = layer_id % num_buffers
-
-        # Wait for buffer load
-        offload_engine.wait_buffer_load(current_buffer)
-
-        # QKV projection
-        q, k_new, v_new = ...
-
-        # Get loaded KV from ring buffer
-        k_prefill, v_prefill = offload_engine.get_buffer_kv(
-            current_buffer, loaded_tokens[current_buffer]
-        )
-
-        # Attention
-        ...
-
-        # Mark buffer done
-        offload_engine.record_buffer_compute_done(current_buffer)
-
-        # Load next layer
-        # Future: use load_layer_kv_to_buffer_with_policy(query=q) for Quest
-        next_layer = layer_id + num_buffers
-        if next_layer < num_layers:
-            loaded_tokens[current_buffer] = offload_engine.load_layer_kv_to_buffer(
-                current_buffer, next_layer, cpu_block_table, valid_tokens_per_block
-            )
-```
-
-### Quest Integration (Future Work)
-
-When Quest is fully integrated:
-
-```python
-# Load next layer with Quest block selection
-if next_layer < num_layers:
-    loaded_tokens[current_buffer] = offload_engine.load_layer_kv_to_buffer_with_policy(
-        current_buffer, next_layer, cpu_block_table, valid_tokens_per_block,
-        query=q  # Pass query for block selection
-    )
-```
-
-**Challenge**: First N layers are preloaded before query is available, so they must use full load.
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Enabling Sparse Policy
-
-```python
-from nanovllm import LLM
-from nanovllm.config import SparsePolicyType
-
-# GPU-only with MInference
-llm = LLM(
-    model_path,
-    sparse_policy=SparsePolicyType.MINFERENCE,
-    minference_adaptive_budget=0.3,  # 30% of seq_len
-)
-
-# Offload with MInference
-llm = LLM(
-    model_path,
-    enable_cpu_offload=True,
-    num_gpu_blocks=2,
-    sparse_policy=SparsePolicyType.MINFERENCE,
-    minference_adaptive_budget=0.3,
-)
-```
-
-### MInference Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Default | Description |
-|-----------|---------|-------------|
-| `minference_adaptive_budget` | 0.3 | Budget as fraction of seq_len (0.3 = 30%) |
-| `minference_vertical_size` | 1000 | Fixed vertical size (when budget=None) |
-| `minference_slash_size` | 6096 | Fixed slash size (when budget=None) |
-| `minference_num_sink_tokens` | 30 | Always-kept initial tokens |
-| `minference_num_recent_diags` | 100 | Always-kept recent diagonals |
-
-### Quest Parameters (for future decode integration)
-
-| Parameter | Default | Description |
-|-----------|---------|-------------|
-| `sparse_topk_blocks` | 8 | Top-K blocks to load |
-| `sparse_threshold_blocks` | 4 | Apply sparse only when blocks > threshold |
-
-## Sparse Policy Hooks
-
-Sparse policies can implement hooks for metadata collection:
-
-```python
-class SparsePolicy(ABC):
-    def on_prefill_offload(
-        self,
-        block_id: int,
-        layer_id: int,
-        key: torch.Tensor,
-        valid_tokens: int,
-    ) -> None:
-        """
-        Hook called during prefill offload BEFORE KV is copied to CPU.
-        Key tensor is still on GPU - can compute metadata efficiently.
-
-        Used by Quest to compute min/max key statistics for block selection.
-        """
-        pass
-
-    def on_decode_offload(
-        self,
-        block_id: int,
-        keys: torch.Tensor,  # [num_layers, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]
-    ) -> None:
-        """
-        Hook called when decode buffer is offloaded to CPU.
-        """
-        pass
-```
-
-## File Changes Summary
-
-| File | Changes |
-|------|---------|
-| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/policy.py` | Add `requires_block_selection` attribute |
-| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/minference.py` | Set `requires_block_selection = False` |
-| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/quest.py` | Set `requires_block_selection = True` |
-| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/full_policy.py` | Set `requires_block_selection = False` |
-| `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py` | Add `offload_layer_kv_sync()`, sparse hooks |
-| `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py` | Integrate sparse policies in offload paths |
-
-## Key Design Principles
-
-1. **Encapsulation**: All `copy_()` operations inside OffloadEngine
-2. **Interface Flag**: `requires_block_selection` declares policy type
-3. **Separation of Concerns**:
-   - MInference: only `sparse_prefill_attention()` (compute-level)
-   - Quest: `select_blocks()` + hooks (load-level)
-4. **Hooks Inside Engine**: Policy hooks called within OffloadEngine methods
-
-## Test Results
-
-Verified on Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 with 32K input:
-
-```
-# GPU-only + MInference
-test_needle.py --model Qwen3-4B --input-len 32768 --enable-minference
-- Prefill: 3383 tok/s
-- Output: "7492<|im_end|>"
-- Result: PASSED
-
-# Offload + MInference
-test_needle.py --model Qwen3-4B --input-len 32768 --enable-offload --enable-minference
-- Prefill: 5373 tok/s
-- Output: "7492<|im_end|>"
-- Result: PASSED
-```
-
-Both configurations produce identical outputs, confirming correctness.

-# Sparse Prefill Attention Integration Plan
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-本文档整合了 int-minference-1/2/3 三个分支的分析，提出统一的三种稀疏注意力策略（MInference、XAttention、FlexPrefill）集成方案。
-
----
-
-## Part 1: 现状分析
-
-### 1.1 x-attention 仓库策略对比
-
-| 策略 | Pattern 类型 | 估计方法 | Kernel Backend |
-|------|-------------|---------|----------------|
-| **MInference** | Vertical + Slash | Last-64-Q attention → 列/对角线求和 | `vertical_slash_sparse_attention` (minference lib) |
-| **XAttention** | Block Mask | Stride-based Q/K 下采样 → block 分数 | `block_sparse_attn_func` (MIT-HAN-LAB) |
-| **FlexPrefill** | Adaptive V+S | Last-block attention + JS 散度自适应 | `triton_block_wise_attention` (custom triton) |
-
-### 1.2 关键发现：两种 Kernel 接口
-
-**接口 A: Index-Based (minference)**
-```python
-# MInference 使用 vertical+slash indices
-vertical_indices = [heads, vertical_size]  # 重要 K 列位置
-slash_indices = [heads, slash_size]        # 对角线偏移
-output = vertical_slash_sparse_attention(q, k, v, vertical_indices, slash_indices)
-```
-
-**接口 B: Block Mask-Based (block_sparse_attn)**
-```python
-# XAttention/FlexPrefill 使用 boolean block mask
-block_mask = torch.bool[batch, heads, q_blocks, k_blocks]  # True = 计算
-output = block_sparse_attn_func(q, k, v, block_mask, ...)
-```
-
-### 1.3 当前 nanovllm MInference 实现
-
-**文件**: `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/minference.py`
-
-**已实现功能**:
-- `estimate_pattern()`: 使用 last-64-Q 估计 vertical+slash pattern
-- `sparse_prefill_attention()`: 调用 minference kernel 执行稀疏注意力
-- 支持 GQA（通过 K/V repeat_interleave）
-- 支持 adaptive_budget 自适应预算
-
-**问题**:
-1. 与 XAttention/FlexPrefill 使用不同 kernel，无法统一接口
-2. `sparse_prefill_attention()` 将估计和执行耦合在一起
-3. 没有 BlockMask 中间表示，难以复用
-
----
-
-## Part 2: 架构设计
-
-### 2.1 设计原则
-
-1. **向后兼容**: 保持现有 `SparsePolicy` 接口不变
-2. **渐进式重构**: 添加新功能而非替换
-3. **统一中间表示**: 新策略使用 `BlockMask` 作为可选中间表示
-4. **可插拔 Kernel**: 支持多种 attention kernel backend
-
-### 2.2 架构图

-
-    def estimate_block_mask(self, q, k, layer_id) -> BlockMask:
-        """Convert vertical+slash indices to BlockMask."""
-        vertical_idx, slash_idx = self.estimate_pattern(q, k, layer_id)

-
-    def sparse_prefill_attention(self, q, k, v, layer_id):
-        if self.use_block_sparse:
-            block_mask = self.estimate_block_mask(q, k, layer_id)
-            return block_sparse_attention(q, k, v, block_mask)
-        else:

-# Transformers 低版本兼容性问题
-
-## 概述
-
-本文档详细记录了 nano-vllm 在低版本 transformers（< 4.51.0）环境下的兼容性问题。这些问题源于 nano-vllm 使用了 transformers 4.51.0 才引入的 `Qwen3Config` 类。
-
-## 问题背景
-
-### 测试环境
-
-| 环境 | 版本 | 说明 |
-|------|------|------|
-| Docker 镜像 | `tzj/ruler:v0.3` | NVIDIA PyTorch 24.08 容器 |
-| transformers | 4.45.2 | 系统预装版本 |
-| Python | 3.10.12 | 系统版本 |
-| PyTorch | 2.5.0a0+872d972 | CUDA 12.6 |
-
-### 冲突场景
-
-在 RULER benchmark 测试环境中，NeMo 框架依赖 transformers 4.45.2 和特定版本的 `huggingface_hub`。升级 transformers 到 4.51.0+ 会导致：
-
-```
-ImportError: cannot import name 'ModelFilter' from 'huggingface_hub'
-```
-
-因此需要 nano-vllm 适配低版本 transformers，以便在同一环境中运行。
-
-## 详细问题分析
-
-### 1. 核心问题：Qwen3Config 不存在
-
-**错误信息**：
-```python
-ImportError: cannot import name 'Qwen3Config' from 'transformers'
-(/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/transformers/__init__.py)
-```
-
-**问题根源**：
-- `Qwen3Config` 是在 transformers **4.51.0** 版本中首次引入
-- transformers 4.45.2 只包含 `Qwen2` 系列模型
-
-**受影响版本**：
-| transformers 版本 | Qwen3 支持 | 可用 Qwen 模型 |
-|------------------|-----------|---------------|
-| < 4.51.0 | 不支持 | qwen2, qwen2_audio, qwen2_moe, qwen2_vl |
-| >= 4.51.0 | 支持 | qwen2 系列 + qwen3, qwen3_moe |
-
-### 2. 影响范围
-
-#### 2.1 直接影响的文件
-
-| 文件路径 | 问题代码 | 影响 |
-|---------|---------|------|
-| `nanovllm/models/qwen3.py:4` | `from transformers import Qwen3Config` | 直接导入失败 |
-| `nanovllm/models/__init__.py:6` | `from nanovllm.models import qwen3` | 触发 qwen3 导入 |
-
-#### 2.2 级联影响
-
-由于 `nanovllm/models/__init__.py` 无条件导入了 `qwen3` 模块，会导致以下级联失败：
-
-```python
-# 这些导入都会失败
-from nanovllm.models import llama          # FAILED
-from nanovllm.models import get_model_class # FAILED
-import nanovllm                            # FAILED
-```
-
-**测试验证**：
-```python
-# transformers 4.45.2 环境
-
->>> from nanovllm.models.registry import register_model
-SUCCESS  # registry 本身可以导入
-
->>> from nanovllm.config import Config
-SUCCESS  # config 不依赖 Qwen3Config
-
->>> from nanovllm.models import llama
-FAILED: cannot import name 'Qwen3Config' from 'transformers'
-# 因为 models/__init__.py 先导入了 qwen3
-```
-
-### 3. Qwen3Config 使用位置
-
-在 `nanovllm/models/qwen3.py` 中的使用：
-
-```python
-# Line 4
-from transformers import Qwen3Config
-
-# Line 128-129: 类型注解
-class Qwen3DecoderLayer(nn.Module):
-    def __init__(self, config: Qwen3Config) -> None:
-        ...
-
-# Line 170-171: 类型注解
-class Qwen3Model(nn.Module):
-    def __init__(self, config: Qwen3Config) -> None:
-        ...
-
-# Line 200-203: 类型注解
-class Qwen3ForCausalLM(nn.Module):
-    def __init__(self, config: Qwen3Config) -> None:
-        ...
-```
-
-### 4. Qwen3Config 属性使用
-
-代码中使用了以下 `Qwen3Config` 属性：
-
-| 属性 | 位置 | 用途 |
-|------|------|------|
-| `hidden_size` | Line 131, 147, 173 | 隐藏层维度 |
-| `num_attention_heads` | Line 132 | 注意力头数 |
-| `num_key_value_heads` | Line 133 | KV 头数 |
-| `max_position_embeddings` | Line 134 | 最大位置编码 |
-| `rms_norm_eps` | Line 135, 147, 148, 175 | RMSNorm epsilon |
-| `attention_bias` | Line 136 (getattr) | 是否使用注意力偏置 |
-| `head_dim` | Line 137 (getattr) | 注意力头维度 |
-| `rope_theta` | Line 138 (getattr) | RoPE base |
-| `rope_scaling` | Line 139 (getattr) | RoPE scaling 配置 |
-| `intermediate_size` | Line 144 | FFN 中间层维度 |
-| `hidden_act` | Line 145 | 激活函数类型 |
-| `vocab_size` | Line 173, 206 | 词表大小 |
-| `num_hidden_layers` | Line 174 | Transformer 层数 |
-| `tie_word_embeddings` | Line 207 | 是否共享词嵌入 |
-
-## 解决方案建议
-
-### 方案 1: 条件导入（推荐）
-
-修改 `nanovllm/models/__init__.py`：
-
-```python
-"""Model registry and model implementations."""
-
-from nanovllm.models.registry import register_model, get_model_class, MODEL_REGISTRY
-
-# Import models to trigger registration
-# Llama is always available
-from nanovllm.models import llama
-
-# Qwen3 requires transformers >= 4.51.0
-try:
-    from nanovllm.models import qwen3
-except ImportError:
-    import warnings
-    warnings.warn(
-        "Qwen3 models require transformers >= 4.51.0. "
-        "Install with: pip install 'transformers>=4.51.0'"
-    )
-
-__all__ = ["register_model", "get_model_class", "MODEL_REGISTRY"]
-```
-
-修改 `nanovllm/models/qwen3.py`：
-
-```python
-import torch
-from torch import nn
-import torch.distributed as dist
-
-# Conditional import for Qwen3Config
-try:
-    from transformers import Qwen3Config
-except ImportError:
-    # Create a placeholder for type hints when Qwen3Config is not available
-    Qwen3Config = None
-    raise ImportError(
-        "Qwen3Config requires transformers >= 4.51.0. "
-        "Current version does not support Qwen3 models."
-    )
-
-# ... rest of the code
-```
-
-### 方案 2: 使用 AutoConfig（兼容性更好）
-
-修改 `nanovllm/models/qwen3.py` 以使用 `AutoConfig` 而非具体的 `Qwen3Config`：
-
-```python
-from typing import TYPE_CHECKING, Any
-
-# Only import Qwen3Config for type checking
-if TYPE_CHECKING:
-    from transformers import Qwen3Config
-
-# Runtime: use duck typing
-class Qwen3DecoderLayer(nn.Module):
-    def __init__(self, config: Any) -> None:  # Accept any config-like object
-        super().__init__()
-        # Access attributes via getattr for safety
-        self.self_attn = Qwen3Attention(
-            hidden_size=config.hidden_size,
-            num_heads=config.num_attention_heads,
-            num_kv_heads=config.num_key_value_heads,
-            max_position=config.max_position_embeddings,
-            rms_norm_eps=config.rms_norm_eps,
-            qkv_bias=getattr(config, 'attention_bias', True),
-            head_dim=getattr(config, 'head_dim', None),
-            rope_theta=getattr(config, "rope_theta", 1000000),
-            rope_scaling=getattr(config, "rope_scaling", None),
-        )
-        # ...
-```
-
-### 方案 3: 版本检查与优雅降级
-
-在 `nanovllm/__init__.py` 或启动时添加版本检查：
-
-```python
-import transformers
-from packaging import version
-
-TRANSFORMERS_VERSION = version.parse(transformers.__version__)
-QWEN3_MIN_VERSION = version.parse("4.51.0")
-
-QWEN3_AVAILABLE = TRANSFORMERS_VERSION >= QWEN3_MIN_VERSION
-
-if not QWEN3_AVAILABLE:
-    import warnings
-    warnings.warn(
-        f"transformers {transformers.__version__} does not support Qwen3 models. "
-        f"Upgrade to >= 4.51.0 for Qwen3 support."
-    )
-```
-
-## 适配优先级
-
-建议按以下优先级进行适配：
-
-1. **P0 - models/__init__.py**: 添加 try-except 使 Llama 模型可独立使用
-2. **P1 - qwen3.py**: 添加清晰的错误信息，说明版本要求
-3. **P2 - 类型注解**: 可选地改为 `Any` 或使用 `TYPE_CHECKING`
-4. **P3 - 文档**: 在 README 和 pyproject.toml 中说明版本依赖
-
-## 测试验证
-
-适配后应验证以下场景：
-
-### 测试 1: 低版本环境（transformers 4.45.2）
-
-```bash
-# 预期结果：Llama 模型可用，Qwen3 提示版本不足
-docker run --rm \
-    -v /path/to/nano-vllm:/workspace/nano-vllm \
-    -e PYTHONPATH=/workspace/nano-vllm \
-    tzj/ruler:v0.3 \
-    python -c "
-from nanovllm.models import get_model_class, MODEL_REGISTRY
-print('Available models:', list(MODEL_REGISTRY.keys()))
-# Expected: ['LlamaForCausalLM']
-# Warning: Qwen3 models require transformers >= 4.51.0
-"
-```
-
-### 测试 2: 高版本环境（transformers >= 4.51.0）
-
-```bash
-# 预期结果：Llama 和 Qwen3 模型均可用
-pip install 'transformers>=4.51.0'
-python -c "
-from nanovllm.models import get_model_class, MODEL_REGISTRY
-print('Available models:', list(MODEL_REGISTRY.keys()))
-# Expected: ['LlamaForCausalLM', 'Qwen3ForCausalLM', 'Qwen2ForCausalLM']
-"
-```

-# COMPASS XAttention Implementation Analysis
-
-**Analysis Date**: 2026-01-14
-**Researcher**: Claude Code Agent
-**Source**: `/home/zijie/Code/COMPASS/compass/src/`
-
----
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-COMPASS XAttention is a **block sparse attention** implementation that uses:
-1. **Approximation phase** (`xattn_estimate`) to compute attention importance and select blocks
-2. **Computation phase** (`Xattention_prefill`) to compute sparse attention using `block_sparse_attn_func`
-3. **Triton kernels** for efficient block-wise GEMM and softmax operations
-
-**Key Integration Constraint**: Requires `block_sparse_attn_func` from flash-attention library, which is a **C++ CUDA extension** that must be compiled separately.
-
----
-
-## 1. Function: `xattn_estimate()`
-
-**Purpose**: Estimate attention importance and select which blocks to compute
-
-### Input Parameters

-
-```python
-returns: (attn_sums, simple_masks)
-  attn_sums: Tensor[float32]
-    Shape: (batch, num_heads, num_q_blocks, num_k_blocks_per_chunk)

-
-  simple_masks: Tensor[bool]
-    Shape: (batch, num_heads, num_q_blocks, num_k_blocks)
-    Boolean mask indicating which blocks to compute
-```
-
-### Algorithm
-
-#### Step 1: Padding and Chunking
-```python
-# Pad sequences to chunk_size boundaries
-k_num_to_pad = ((k_len + chunk_size - 1) // chunk_size) * chunk_size - k_len
-q_num_to_pad = ((q_len + chunk_size - 1) // chunk_size) * chunk_size - q_len
-
-# Compute number of blocks and chunks
-k_chunk_num = (k_len + k_num_to_pad) // chunk_size
-k_block_num = (k_len + k_num_to_pad) // block_size
-q_chunk_num = (q_len + q_num_to_pad) // chunk_size
-q_block_num = (q_len + q_num_to_pad) // block_size
-```
-
-#### Step 2: Pattern Selection (stride-based downsampling)
-
-**Purpose**: Reduce computation by `stride` factor using patterned selection
-
-**Modes**:
-1. **`"inverse"`** (default): Inverse stride pattern
-   ```python
-   # Key: regular stride [0, stride, 2*stride, ...]
-   # Query: reverse stride [(stride-1), (stride-1-stride), ...]
-   reshaped_key = torch.cat([key_states[:, :, k::stride, :] for k in range(stride)])
-   reshaped_query = torch.cat([query_states[:, :, (stride-1-q)::stride*kdb, :] for q in range(stride)])
-   ```
-
-2. **`"slash"`**: Slash pattern (diagonal)
-   ```python
-   # Both use regular stride
-   reshaped_key = torch.cat([key_states[:, :, k::stride, :] for k in range(stride)])
-   reshaped_query = torch.cat([query_states[:, :, q::stride, :] for q in range(stride)])
-   ```
-
-3. **`"random"`**: Random permutation
-4. **`"double"`, `"triple"`**: Data augmentation modes
-
-#### Step 3: Chunk-wise Attention Estimation
-
-For each query chunk:
-
-**If `use_triton=True`** (fast path):
-```python
-# Triton kernel 1: Compute attention scores with fused reshape
-attn_weights_slice = flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape(
-    query_chunk, key_states, stride,
-    chunk_start, chunk_end, is_causal=causal
-)
-
-# Triton kernel 2: Softmax + block aggregation
-attn_sum = softmax_fuse_block_sum(
-    attn_weights_slice, reshaped_block_size, segment_size,
-    chunk_start, chunk_end, real_q_len, scale, is_causal
-)
-```
-
-**If `use_triton=False`** (PyTorch fallback):
-```python
-# Standard matrix multiplication
-attn_weights_slice = torch.matmul(chunked_query, reshaped_key.transpose(2, 3))
-
-# Scale and apply causal mask
-attn_weights_slice = attn_weights_slice / sqrt(head_dim) / stride / norm
-attn_weights_slice = attn_weights_slice + causal_mask
-
-# Softmax
-attn_weights_slice = F.softmax(attn_weights_slice, dim=-1)
-
-# Aggregate to block level
-attn_sum = attn_weights_slice.view(
-    batch, heads, num_blocks_per_chunk, block_size//kdb, -1, block_size
-).sum(dim=-1).sum(dim=-2)
-```
-
-#### Step 4: Block Selection
-
-```python
-# Select blocks based on threshold
-simple_mask = find_blocks_chunked(
-    attn_sum,
-    current_index,  # Starting block index
-    threshold,      # 0.9 = select blocks covering 90% of attention mass
-    None,           # or num_to_choose for top-k selection
-    decoding=False,
-    mode="prefill",
-    causal=True
-)
-```
-
-**Selection Algorithm** (`find_blocks_chunked`):
-1. Sort blocks by attention weight (descending)
-2. Compute cumulative sum
-3. Select blocks until `cumulative_sum >= total_sum * threshold`
-4. Enforce causal constraints (no future blocks)
-5. Always include sink token (first block) if `keep_sink=True`
-6. Always include diagonal blocks if `keep_recent=True`
-

-
-```python
-returns: attn_output
-  attn_output: Tensor
-    Shape: (batch, num_heads, q_len, head_dim)
-    Sparse attention output
-```
-
-### Algorithm Flow
-
-#### Step 1: Auto-compute chunk_size
-```python
-if chunk_size is None:
-    chunk_size = int(max(
-        min(
-            max(2048, 1 << (k_len - 1).bit_length()),  # Round to power of 2
-            128 * 1024 * 2048 // (1 << (k_len - 1).bit_length()),  # Memory constraint
-        ),
-        2048,  # Minimum
-    ))
-```
-
-**Example**:
-- `k_len=8192` → `chunk_size=8192`
-- `k_len=32768` → `chunk_size=16384`
-- `k_len=65536` → `chunk_size=16384`
-
-#### Step 2: Estimate attention and select blocks
-```python
-attn_sums, approx_simple_mask = xattn_estimate(
-    query_states, key_states,
-    block_size=block_size, stride=stride, norm=norm,
-    threshold=threshold, select_mode="inverse",
-    use_triton=use_triton, causal=causal,
-    chunk_size=chunk_size, kdb=kdb,
-    keep_sink=keep_sink, keep_recent=keep_recent
-)
-```
-
-#### Step 3: Prepare inputs for block_sparse_attn_func
-```python
-# Hard constraints
-assert block_size == 128
-assert batch_size == 1
-
-# Reshape to (seq_len, num_heads, head_dim)
-query_states = query_states.transpose(1, 2).view(q_len, num_heads, head_dim)
-key_states = key_states.transpose(1, 2).view(k_len, num_heads, head_dim)
-value_states = value_states.transpose(1, 2).view(k_len, num_heads, head_dim)
-
-# Cumulative sequence lengths
-q_cu_seq_lens = torch.tensor([0, q_len], dtype=torch.int32, device=device)
-k_cu_seq_lens = torch.tensor([0, k_len], dtype=torch.int32, device=device)
-
-# Head mask type (all heads use mask)
-head_mask_type = torch.tensor([1 for _ in range(num_heads)], dtype=torch.int32)
-```
-
-#### Step 4: Call block_sparse_attn_func
-```python
-attn_output = block_sparse_attn_func(
-    query_states,      # (q_len, num_heads, head_dim)
-    key_states,        # (k_len, num_heads, head_dim)
-    value_states,      # (k_len, num_heads, head_dim)
-    q_cu_seq_lens,     # [0, q_len]
-    k_cu_seq_lens,     # [0, k_len]
-    head_mask_type,    # [1, 1, ..., 1]
-    None,              # No custom layout
-    approx_simple_mask[:, :, :q_block_num, :k_block_num].contiguous(),  # Block mask
-    q_len,
-    k_len,
-    p_dropout=0.0,
-    deterministic=True,
-    is_causal=causal
-)
-```
-
-#### Step 5: Reshape output
-```python
-attn_output = attn_output.view(batch_size, q_len, num_heads, head_dim).transpose(1, 2)
-# Output shape: (batch, num_heads, q_len, head_dim)
-```

-## 3. Triton Kernel Dependencies
-
-### Kernel 1: `flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape_kernel`
-
-**Purpose**: Compute QK^T with stride-based reshaping
-
-**Key Features**:
-- Loads `stride` keys and queries at once
-- Fused strided access pattern
-- Causal masking support
-- Block size auto-selection based on GPU memory
-
-**Block Size Selection**:
-```python
-# RTX 3090 (<30GB): BLOCK_M=64, BLOCK_N=64
-# A100/H100 (>=30GB): BLOCK_M=128, BLOCK_N=128
-```
-
-**Signature**:
-```python
-flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape(
-    query_states,  # (batch, heads, q_len, head_dim)
-    key_states,    # (batch, heads, k_len, head_dim)
-    stride,        # Downsampling factor
-    chunk_start,   # Start position in keys
-    chunk_end,     # End position in keys
-    is_causal=True
-)
-# Returns: (batch, heads, q_len//stride, k_len//stride)
-```
-
-### Kernel 2: `softmax_fuse_block_sum_kernel_causal` / `_non_causal`
-
-**Purpose**: Online softmax with block aggregation
-
-**Algorithm**:
-1. **Forward pass** (compute m_i, l_i):
-   ```
-   m_i = max(m_i, m_local)
-   alpha = exp(m_i - m_new)
-   l_i = l_i * alpha + sum(exp(X - m_new))
-   ```
-2. **Backward pass** (compute softmax with scaling):
-   ```
-   softmax = exp(X - m_i) / l_i
-   aggregate to blocks: sum(softmax) over block_size
-   ```
-
-**Key Features**:
-- Single-pass softmax (no materializing full attention matrix)
-- Causal masking integrated
-- Outputs block-level sums directly
-
-**Signature**:
-```python
-softmax_fuse_block_sum(
-    attn_weights_slice,  # (batch, heads, q_len, k_len)
-    reshaped_block_size, # Block size (128//stride)
-    segment_size,        # Processing segment (min(4096, block_size))
-    chunk_start,         # Start position
-    chunk_end,           # End position
-    real_q_len,          # Actual query length (before padding)
-    scale,               # 1.4426950408889634 / sqrt(head_dim) / stride / norm
-    is_causal=True
-)
-# Returns: (batch, heads, q_len//block_size, k_len//block_size)
-```

-## 4. Key Parameters and Their Meanings
-
-### Critical Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Meaning | Typical Value | Impact |
-|-----------|---------|---------------|--------|
-| `block_size` | Block granularity | 128 | **Fixed at 128**, affects mask granularity |
-| `stride` | Downsampling factor | 4-16 | Higher = faster but less accurate |
-| `threshold` | Sparsity level | 0.8-0.9 | Higher = denser mask, more computation |
-| `chunk_size` | Processing chunk | 16384 | Affects memory and efficiency |
-| `kdb` | Key downsampling boost | 1 | Experimental, use 1 |
-| `norm` | Scaling factor | 1.0 | Attention temperature control |
-
-### Trade-offs
-
-**Stride (`stride`)**:
-- `stride=1`: No approximation, same as dense attention
-- `stride=4`: 4x faster estimation, good accuracy
-- `stride=8`: 8x faster, moderate accuracy loss
-- `stride=16`: 16x faster, significant accuracy loss
-
-**Threshold (`threshold`)**:
-- `threshold=0.8`: Select blocks covering 80% of attention mass (~20% sparsity)
-- `threshold=0.9`: Select blocks covering 90% of attention mass (~10% sparsity)
-- `threshold=0.95`: Very dense, only prunes ~5% of blocks

-## 6. Integration Issues for nano-vllm
-
-### Critical Issue 1: `block_sparse_attn_func` Dependency
-
-**Problem**: `block_sparse_attn_func` is a **C++ CUDA extension** that must be compiled from flash-attention source.
-
-**Options**:
-1. **Compile flash-attention with block sparse support**
-   ```bash
-   cd /home/zijie/Code/COMPASS/3rdparty/flash-attention
-   python setup.py install
-   ```
-   - Risk: May conflict with existing flash-attention installation
-   - Complexity: High (C++ compilation)
-
-2. **Replace with FlashInfer block sparse**
-   - FlashInfer is already a dependency
-   - Has similar block sparse attention
-   - Need to adapt interface
-
-3. **Custom CUDA kernel**
-   - Implement simplified block sparse attention
-   - High development cost
-   - Maintenance burden
-
-### Critical Issue 2: Hard-coded Constraints
-
-```python
-assert block_size == 128  # Line 358
-assert batch_size == 1    # Line 359
-```
-
-**Impact**:
-- Cannot process multiple sequences in one batch
-- Fixed block size limits flexibility
-- Must work around these constraints
-
-### Critical Issue 3: Triton GPU Requirement
-
-```python
-props = torch.cuda.get_device_properties(torch.cuda.current_device())
-if props.major < 8:
-    use_triton = False
-```
-
-**Impact**:
-- Triton kernels only work on SM 80+ (A100, RTX 3090, H100)
-- Older GPUs (V100, T4, RTX 2080) fall back to slow PyTorch implementation
-- RTX 3090 works but uses smaller block sizes (64 vs 128)
-
-### Issue 4: Memory Layout
-
-**XAttention expects**:
-```python
-query_states: (batch, num_heads, q_len, head_dim)
-```
-
-**nano-vllm uses**:
-```python
-query_states: (num_heads, total_tokens, head_dim)  # Flattened batch
-```
-
-**Required**: Transpose and reshape before/after calling XAttention
-
-### Issue 5: Chunking Incompatibility
-
-**XAttention**: Processes in fixed-size chunks (e.g., 16384 tokens)
-- Requires padding to chunk boundaries
-- Adds overhead for short sequences
-
-**nano-vllm**: Processes variable-length requests
-- No padding requirement
-- Dynamic batch sizing
-
----
-
-## 7. Integration Strategy
-
-### Recommended Approach: **Wrapper with FlashInfer**
-
-1. **Keep `xattn_estimate`** (pure PyTorch + Triton)
-   - No external dependencies
-   - Computes block mask
-
-2. **Replace `block_sparse_attn_func` with FlashInfer**
-   - FlashInfer: `flashinfer.single_prefill_with_kv_cache`
-   - Similar API, already compiled
-   - Supports block sparse
-
-3. **Adapt mask format**
-   - XAttention: `(batch, heads, q_blocks, k_blocks)` boolean mask
-   - FlashInfer: `(num_qo, num_kv)` boolean mask or custom format
-
-4. **Handle constraints**
-   - Enforce `batch_size=1` by processing one request at a time
-   - Keep `block_size=128` as requirement
-
-### Alternative: **Pure PyTorch Implementation**
-
-1. Extract estimation algorithm
-2. Implement sparse attention using PyTorch operations
-3. Use FlashInfer for final computation
-4. No Triton dependency
-
----
-
-## 8. Code Example: Adaptation
-
-```python
-def xattention_prefill_adapted(
-    query_states,  # (num_heads, q_len, head_dim)
-    key_states,    # (num_heads, k_len, head_dim)
-    value_states,  # (num_heads, k_len, head_dim)
-    stride=4,
-    threshold=0.9,
-    block_size=128,
-    causal=True,
-):
-    # Step 1: Add batch dimension
-    q = query_states.unsqueeze(0)  # (1, heads, q_len, dim)
-    k = key_states.unsqueeze(0)
-    v = value_states.unsqueeze(0)
-
-    # Step 2: Estimate mask (no external dependency)
-    _, block_mask = xattn_estimate(
-        q, k,
-        block_size=block_size,
-        stride=stride,
-        threshold=threshold,
-        use_triton=True,
-        causal=causal,
-    )
-    # block_mask: (1, heads, q_blocks, k_blocks)
-
-    # Step 3: Convert block mask to token mask
-    q_blocks, k_blocks = block_mask.shape[-2:]
-    token_mask = block_mask.repeat_interleave(block_size, dim=-2)
-    token_mask = token_mask.repeat_interleave(block_size, dim=-1)
-    token_mask = token_mask[:, :, :q.size(2), :k.size(2)]  # Trim padding
-
-    # Step 4: Use FlashInfer with mask
-    from flashinfer import single_prefill_with_kv_cache
-    output = single_prefill_with_kv_cache(
-        q.squeeze(0),
-        k.squeeze(0),
-        v.squeeze(0),
-        custom_mask=token_mask.squeeze(0),
-    )
-
-    return output  # (num_heads, q_len, head_dim)
-```

+## 修复的关键 Bug
+
+### Bug #1: KV Cache 未写入 CPU (已修复)
+
+**问题**: `sparse_prefill_attention` 计算正确，但立即返回导致 KV cache 未 offload 到 CPU。
+
+**症状**: 输出乱码 `4CKCKCKCKCK...`
+
+**根因**: 在 `attention.py` 第 222 行：
+```python
+o = sparse_policy.sparse_prefill_attention(q, k, v, self.layer_id, self.scale)
+torch.cuda.nvtx.range_pop()
+return o  # ← 提前返回，跳过了 KV offload!
+```
+
+**修复**:
+1. 移除提前返回
+2. 将结果转换为 batched 格式
+3. 设置标志跳过标准流程
+4. 确保 KV offload 逻辑执行
+
+**文件**: `nanovllm/layers/attention.py` (lines 213-314)

-## 1. 背景
-
-### 1.1 为什么需要 XAttention
-
-- **长上下文推理需求**：随着 LLM 上下文长度扩展到 32k、64k 甚至更长，传统注意力机制的计算复杂度 O(n²) 成为瓶颈

-- **nano-vllm 集成目标**：在 CPU offload 模式下支持高效的长上下文推理
-
-### 1.2 集成范围
-
-**仅关注 offload 执行路径**：
-- `run_layerwise_offload_prefill()` - layer-wise chunked prefill
-- CPU offload 模式下的 KV cache 管理
-- 与 `SparsePolicy` 框架的集成
-
-### 1.3 参考

-### 2.2 关键参数
-
-| 参数 | 默认值 | 说明 |
-|------|--------|------|
-| `stride` | 8 | Q/K 重组步长 |
-| `block_size` | 128 | Block 大小（tokens） |

-   - 分块 softmax 并聚合到 block 级别
-   - 根据阈值选择重要 blocks
-
-2. **Block Sparse Attention**：
-   - 只计算选中 blocks 的注意力
-   - 使用 block sparse kernels 优化

-    return masks

----
-
-## 4. 集成设计决策
-
-### 4.1 稀疏策略框架
-
-nano-vllm 使用 `SparsePolicy` 抽象接口：
-
-```python
-class SparsePolicy(ABC):
-    """稀疏注意力策略基类"""
-
-    @property
-    def supports_prefill(self) -> bool:
-        """是否支持 prefill 阶段"""
-        ...
-
-    @property
-    def supports_decode(self) -> bool:
-        """是否支持 decode 阶段"""
-        ...
-
-    @property
-    def requires_block_selection(self) -> bool:
-        """是否需要 block selection（用于 KV cache 加载）"""
-        ...
-
-    @abstractmethod
-    def select_blocks(self, available_blocks, ctx) -> List[int]:
-        """选择要加载的 KV blocks"""
-        ...
-
-    @abstractmethod
-    def sparse_prefill_attention(self, q, k, v, layer_id) -> torch.Tensor:
-        """计算稀疏 prefill 注意力"""
-        ...
-```
-
-### 4.2 XAttention 设计决策
-
-#### 决策 1：Prefill-Only 策略
-
-```python
-class XAttentionPolicy(SparsePolicy):
-    supports_prefill = True
-    supports_decode = False  # XAttention 仅用于 prefill
-    requires_block_selection = False  # 不影响 KV cache 加载
-```
-
-**原因**：
-- XAttention 是 prefill 阶段的优化算法
-- Decode 阶段使用其他策略（如 QUEST）
-- Block selection 不在 XAttention 范围内
-
-#### 决策 2：CPU Offload 模式简化
-
-```python
-def sparse_prefill_attention(self, q, k, v, layer_id):
-    # 使用 FlashAttention 直接计算
-    from flash_attn.flash_attn_interface import flash_attn_varlen_func
-
-    attn_output = flash_attn_varlen_func(
-        q, k, v,
-        cu_seqlens_q=cu_seqlens,
-        cu_seqlens_k=cu_seqlens,
-        max_seqlen_q=seq_len,
-        max_seqlen_k=seq_len,
-        softmax_scale=1.0 / math.sqrt(head_dim),
-        causal=True,
-    )
-    return attn_output
-```
-
-**关键原因**：
-
-1. **Chunked Prefill 架构限制**：
-   ```
-   Offload 模式: run_layerwise_offload_prefill()
-   └─ 每次只处理一个 chunk (2048 tokens)
-   └─ 完整的 key_states 在 CPU，不在当前调用栈
-   └─ 无法进行完整的 chunked estimation
-   ```
-
-2. **Estimation 需要完整上下文**：
-   - XAttention 的 estimation 需要访问完整 key_states
-   - Offload 模式下 keys 分层存储在 CPU
-   - 传递所有 keys 会破坏 offload 的内存优势
-
-3. **FlashAttention 原生支持 GQA**：
-   - GQA (Grouped Query Attention): num_kv_heads < num_heads
-   - FlashAttention 自动处理 head 展开
-   - 避免手动实现的复杂性
-
-#### 决策 3：保留 Triton Kernels
-
-虽然 CPU offload 模式使用 FlashAttention，但仍保留 Triton kernels：
-
-```python
-# nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/kernels.py
-# 保留完整的 Triton 实现，供未来 GPU-only 模式使用
-
-def softmax_fuse_block_sum(attn_weights_slice, ...):
-    """Triton softmax + block sum wrapper"""
-    ...
-
-def flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape(query_states, key_states, ...):
-    """Triton GEMM + reshape wrapper"""
-    ...
-```
-
-**原因**：
-- 未来可以支持 GPU-only 模式的完整 XAttention
-- Triton kernels 已实现，无需删除
-- 保持代码完整性

-
-## 6. 问题与解决方案
-
-### 6.1 问题 1: Abstract Method Not Implemented
-
-**错误**：
-```python
-TypeError: Can't instantiate abstract class XAttentionPolicy
-with abstract method select_blocks
-```
-
-**原因**：
-- `SparsePolicy` 是抽象基类，要求子类实现 `select_blocks()`
-- XAttention 是 prefill-only 策略，不需要 block selection
-
-**解决**：
-```python
-def select_blocks(self, available_blocks: List[int], ctx: PolicyContext) -> List[int]:
-    """
-    Select blocks for decode phase.
-
-    XAttention is prefill-only, so this method is only used as a fallback.
-    Returns all available blocks by default.
-    """
-    # Since requires_block_selection=False, this won't be called for loading
-    return available_blocks
-```
-
-### 6.2 问题 2: CUDA OOM During Estimation
-
-**错误**：
-```
-CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 1013.92 GiB
-```
-
-**原因**：
-- `_xattn_estimate()` 使用 `q_len` 计算 `k_block_num`
-- 但在 chunked prefill 中，`q_len` 是当前 chunk 大小（2048）
-- 而不是完整上下文长度（32768）
-- 导致 padding 计算错误
-
-**原始代码问题**：
-```python
-batch_size, num_heads, k_len, head_dim = key_states.shape
-batch_size, num_heads, q_len, head_dim = query_states.shape
-
-# 错误：使用 q_len 计算 k_block_num
-k_block_num = (k_len + k_num_to_pad) // block_size  # 应该用完整 k_len
-```
-
-**解决**：
-简化实现，直接使用 FlashAttention：
-```python
-def sparse_prefill_attention(self, q, k, v, layer_id):
-    # 使用 FlashAttention 直接计算
-    # 不进行 chunked estimation（与 offload 架构不兼容）
-    from flash_attn.flash_attn_interface import flash_attn_varlen_func
-    ...
-```
-
-### 6.3 问题 3: GQA Head Count Mismatch
-
-**错误**：
-```
-ValueError: Number of heads in key/value must divide number of heads in query
-```
-
-**原因**：
-- Llama-3.1-8B 使用 GQA：num_heads=32, num_kv_heads=8
-- 原始 XAttention 代码手动展开 KV heads：
-```python
-# 错误方式
-if num_kv_heads != num_heads:
-    key_states = key_states.repeat_interleave(num_heads // num_kv_heads, dim=1)
-```
-
-**解决**：
-依赖 FlashAttention 的原生 GQA 支持：
-```python
-# FlashAttention 自动处理 GQA，无需手动展开
-attn_output = flash_attn_varlen_func(
-    q, k, v,  # k, v 可以有更少的 heads
-    ...
-)
-```
-
-### 6.4 Bug Fix: kernels.py Line 106
-
-**原始代码**：
-```python
-for iter in range(num_iters_before_causal + 1, num_iters):
-    X = torch.zeros([segment_size // block_size], dtype=torch.float32)  # 错误
-```
-
-**修复**：
-```python
-for iter in range(num_iters_before_causal + 1, num_iters):
-    X = tl.zeros([segment_size // block_size], dtype=torch.float32)  # 正确
-```
-
-**原因**：
-- Triton JIT kernel 中必须使用 `tl.zeros` 而不是 `torch.zeros`

-## Synthesized Findings
-
-### 架构差异总结
-
-| 方面 | Chunked Offload | Layerwise Offload |
-|------|-----------------|-------------------|
-| **Prefill 流程** | chunk-by-chunk，跨层 | layer-by-layer，完整序列 |
-| **KV 存储** | 每 chunk 立即 offload | 每层计算后 offload |
-| **Attention 计算** | 分多次计算+合并 | 一次完整计算 |
-| **Block 加载** | 需要从 CPU 加载历史 | 不需要，已在 GPU |
-| **Policy 责任** | 完整 attention 流程 | 仅 attention kernel 选择 |
-
-### Layerwise Offload 的简化点
-
-1. **不需要 block selection**: 整层 KV 都在 GPU，无需选择
-2. **不需要 offload_engine 参数**: Policy 不负责加载 KV
-3. **不需要 merge_attention_outputs**: 一次计算完整 attention
-4. **不需要 offload hooks**: offload 在 model_runner 统一处理
-
-### 设计建议
-
-1. **保持接口简单**: 只需要 `compute_prefill_attention()` 和 `compute_decode_attention()`
-2. **FULL 也实现方法**: 不再通过 `is None` 判断，所有 policy 统一调用
-3. **移除不必要的参数**: 不需要 offload_engine, kvcache_manager, seq 等
-4. **统一命名**: 使用 `compute_*_attention` 而不是 `sparse_prefill_attention`
-
-## Code Examples
-
-### 当前调用方式 (model_runner.py:876-891)
-
-```python
-# Sparse or Full attention
-if self.sparse_prefill_policy is not None:
-    # MInference or other sparse prefill policy
-    attn_output = self.sparse_prefill_policy.sparse_prefill_attention(
-        q, k, v, layer_id
-    )
-else:
-    # Full attention using FlashAttention
-    attn_output = flash_attn_varlen_func(
-        q, k, v, ...
-    )
-```
-
-### 建议的新调用方式
-
-```python
-# 所有 policy 统一调用
-attn_output = self.attention_policy.compute_prefill_attention(
-    q, k, v, layer_id, softmax_scale=layer.self_attn.attn.scale
-)
-```
-
-## Questions Resolved
-
-- Q: 是否需要 PolicyContext?
-- A: 可以简化，因为 layerwise 模式下不需要 chunk 信息
-
-- Q: decode 阶段如何处理?
-- A: **Decode 不需要 policy**！当前 `run_layerwise_offload_decode()` 使用标准 `layer(positions, hidden_states, residual)` 调用，走 Attention.forward() 路径
-
-- Q: 为什么 decode 不需要 sparse?
-- A: 因为 decode 每次只有 1 个 token，没有稀疏化的意义。KV 从 ring buffer 加载后直接用 flash_attn_with_kvcache
-
-## Key Insight
-
-**Layerwise Offload 的 Policy 设计应该只关注 Prefill**：
-
-```
-Prefill: 需要 Policy
-- 整个序列一次计算 attention
-- 可以使用 sparse attention 方法（如 MInference 的 vertical+slash pattern）
-- Policy 接收 q, k, v, layer_id, softmax_scale
-
-Decode: 不需要 Policy
-- 每次只有 1 个 token query
-- KV 从 ring buffer 加载
-- 使用标准 flash_attn_with_kvcache
-```

-## Interface Comparison Summary
-
-| 方面 | tzj/minference | tzj/layer-offload (新设计) |
-|------|----------------|---------------------------|
-| 类名 | SparsePolicy | AttentionPolicy |
-| Prefill 方法 | compute_chunked_prefill() | compute_attention() |
-| Decode 方法 | compute_chunked_decode() | 不需要（用标准路径） |
-| 需要 offload_engine | 是 | 否 |
-| 需要 kvcache_manager | 是 | 否 |
-| 需要 seq | 是 | 否 |
-| 支持 FULL | 是 | 是 |
-
-## Migration Path
-
-1. 保留 `SparsePolicy` 作为 `AttentionPolicy` 的别名
-2. 保留 `PolicyContext` 供未来扩展
-3. 保留 `select_blocks()` 方法签名（虽然不使用）
-4. 移除 `requires_block_selection` 属性（不需要）

-# Task Plan: Refactor SparsePolicy for Layerwise Offload
+# Task Plan: Sparse Policy 架构重构 v3
 
 ## Goal
-重构 SparsePolicy 接口，参考 tzj/minference 分支的设计模式，使所有 attention 都可以抽象成 policy，并按统一规范编写。适配当前 layerwise offload 架构特点（整层 KV 在 GPU 上）。
 
-## Background
+将 chunked prefill 的 attention 计算逻辑完全从 `attention.py` 移到 `SparsePolicy` 内部。attention.py 只负责调用 policy，不包含任何计算逻辑。
 
-### 两种 Offload 架构对比
+## 核心设计原则（强制要求）
 
-| 特性 | tzj/minference (Chunked Offload) | tzj/layer-offload (Layerwise Offload) |
-|------|----------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
-| 处理粒度 | 每次一个 chunk (block_size tokens) | 每次一整层 (所有 tokens) |
-| KV 位置 | 历史 chunks 在 CPU，需要加载 | 整层 KV 都在 GPU |
-| Policy 入口 | `compute_chunked_prefill()/decode()` | `compute_prefill()/decode()` |
-| 需要 offload_engine | 是（加载 blocks） | 否（KV 已在 GPU） |
-| Mask 计算 | `select_blocks()` 返回 block IDs | `estimate()` 返回 sparse mask |
+1. **Policy 内部完成所有计算**：包括 attention 计算和结果合并
+2. **select_blocks 传入 offload_engine**：policy 通过 offload_engine 加载 blocks
+3. **强制实现计算函数**：所有 policy 必须实现 `compute_block_attention` 和 `merge_attention_outputs`
+4. **chunked_prefill 强制 policy 存在**：没有 policy 则报错
+5. **外部默认 FULL policy**：model_runner.py 默认创建 FullPolicy
+6. **attention.py 零计算逻辑**：_chunked_prefill_attention 只调用 policy，不直接调用 flashattn 或 merge

----
+## Phase 1: 分析当前架构，理解所有计算逻辑的位置
 
-## Phase 0: 创建 nanovllm.ops 模块
+### 当前 attention.py 中包含的计算逻辑
 
-### 目标
-从 tzj/minference 分支提取 ops 模块，为 XAttention estimate 提供底层算子支持。
+1. `_ring_buffer_pipeline_load` 方法：
+   - 调用 `offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer()`
+   - 调用 `offload_engine.wait_slot_layer()`
+   - 调用 `offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot()`
+   - 调用 `flash_attn_with_lse()` ← **直接调用**
+   - 调用 `merge_attention_outputs()` ← **直接调用**
 
-### 步骤
+2. `_sync_load_previous_chunks` 方法：
+   - 同上，直接调用 flashattn 和 merge
 
-1. **创建目录结构**
-   ```
-   nanovllm/ops/
-   ├── __init__.py
-   ├── xattn.py           # xattn_estimate, xattn_estimate_chunked, Triton kernels
-   └── chunked_attention.py  # flash_attn_with_lse, merge_attention_outputs (备用)
-   ```
+3. `_chunked_prefill_attention` 方法：
+   - 调用 `_ring_buffer_pipeline_load` 或 `_sync_load_previous_chunks`
+   - 调用 `flash_attn_with_lse()` 计算当前 chunk
+   - 调用 `merge_attention_outputs()` 合并结果
 
-2. **从 tzj/minference 提取文件**
-   ```bash
-   git show tzj/minference:nanovllm/ops/__init__.py > nanovllm/ops/__init__.py
-   git show tzj/minference:nanovllm/ops/xattn.py > nanovllm/ops/xattn.py
-   git show tzj/minference:nanovllm/ops/chunked_attention.py > nanovllm/ops/chunked_attention.py
-   ```
+### 需要移动的计算逻辑
 
-3. **Cherry-pick 测试文件**
-   ```bash
-   git show tzj/minference:tests/test_xattn_estimate_chunked.py > tests/test_xattn_estimate_chunked.py
-   ```
+所有 `flash_attn_with_lse` 和 `merge_attention_outputs` 调用都应该在 SparsePolicy 内部。
 
-4. **运行测试验证**
-   ```bash
-   CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 PYTHONPATH=/home/zijie/Code/Worktree/nano-vllm:$PYTHONPATH \
-       python tests/test_xattn_estimate_chunked.py
-   ```
+## Phase 2: 在 SparsePolicy 基类中添加三个抽象方法
 
-### nanovllm/ops 模块内容
-
-| 文件 | 核心函数 | 用途 |
-|------|----------|------|
-| `xattn.py` | `xattn_estimate()` | 标准 XAttention estimation |
-| `xattn.py` | `xattn_estimate_chunked()` | Chunked prefill 版本 |
-| `xattn.py` | `flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape()` | Triton kernel: fused reshape + GEMM |
-| `xattn.py` | `softmax_fuse_block_sum()` | Triton kernel: softmax + block sum |
-| `xattn.py` | `find_blocks_chunked()` | Block selection based on threshold |
-| `chunked_attention.py` | `flash_attn_with_lse()` | Flash attention with LSE output |
-| `chunked_attention.py` | `merge_attention_outputs()` | Merge multiple attention chunks |

-## Key Questions
-
-1. **`select_blocks` 改为什么?**
-   - 改名为 `estimate()`：用于计算 sparse mask
-   - 对于 XAttention，对应 COMPASS 的 `xattn_estimate()` 函数
-   - FullAttentionPolicy 的 `estimate()` 返回 None（表示 full attention）
-
-2. **Policy 接口应该如何设计?**
-   - Prefill: `compute_prefill(q, k, v, layer_id, softmax_scale)`
-   - Decode: `compute_decode(q, k, v, layer_id, softmax_scale)`
-   - Estimate: `estimate(q, k, layer_id)` - 计算 sparse mask
-
-3. **FULL policy 如何处理?**
-   - FULL 也实现 `compute_prefill/decode`，使用 FlashAttention
-   - `estimate()` 返回 None（表示不进行稀疏化）
-

-## Method Mapping
+## Phase 3: 修改 FullPolicy，实现三个抽象方法
 
-| 旧方法 | 新方法 | 说明 |
-|--------|--------|------|
-| `select_blocks()` | `estimate()` | 计算 sparse mask（对应 xattn_estimate） |
-| `sparse_prefill_attention()` | `compute_prefill()` | Prefill attention |
-| (无) | `compute_decode()` | Decode attention（默认实现） |
-| `on_prefill_offload()` | (移除) | Offload 在 model_runner 处理 |
+### 3.1 FullPolicy.compute_block_attention
 
-## Files to Modify
+直接调用 `flash_attn_with_lse`，处理 3D 输入。
 
-| File | Changes |
-|------|---------|
-| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/policy.py` | 新接口：estimate, compute_prefill, compute_decode |
-| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/full_policy.py` | 实现 compute_prefill(), estimate() 返回 None |
-| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/xattn.py` | estimate() 对应 xattn_estimate, compute_prefill() |
-| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/__init__.py` | 更新工厂函数 |
-| `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py` | 统一调用 attention_policy.compute_prefill() |
-| `nanovllm/config.py` | 可选：重命名配置项 |
+### 3.2 FullPolicy.merge_attention_outputs
+
+调用 `chunked_attention.merge_attention_outputs`。
+
+### 3.3 FullPolicy.compute_prefill_attention
+
+实现完整的 prefill 流程：
+1. 获取 `cpu_block_table = kvcache_manager.get_prefilled_cpu_blocks(seq)`
+2. 调用 `select_blocks(cpu_block_table, offload_engine, ctx)`
+3. 遍历 blocks：
+   - `offload_engine.load_to_slot_layer(slot, layer_id, cpu_block_id)`
+   - `offload_engine.wait_slot_layer(slot)`
+   - `k, v = offload_engine.get_kv_for_slot(slot)`
+   - 调用 `self.compute_block_attention(q, k, v, layer_id, scale, causal=False)`
+   - 调用 `self.merge_attention_outputs(o_acc, lse_acc, prev_o, prev_lse)`
+4. 计算当前 chunk attention
+5. 合并最终结果
+
+### 需要移动的代码
+
+从 `attention.py` 的 `_ring_buffer_pipeline_load` 和 `_sync_load_previous_chunks` 移动逻辑：
+- slot 遍历逻辑
+- offload_engine 调用
+- 计算和合并逻辑
+
+从 `attention.py` 的 `_chunked_prefill_attention` 移动逻辑：
+- 当前 chunk 的 attention 计算
+- 最终合并逻辑
+
+## Phase 4: 修改 QuestPolicy
+
+QuestPolicy 实现与 FullPolicy 类似，区别在于：
+- `select_blocks` 返回 Top-K blocks
+- 其他计算逻辑相同
+
+## Phase 5: 修改 XAttentionBSAPolicy
+
+当前 XAttentionBSAPolicy 只返回所有 blocks，修改后：
+- `select_blocks` 当前返回所有 blocks
+- `compute_block_attention` 与 FullPolicy 相同
+- `merge_attention_outputs` 与 FullPolicy 相同
+- `compute_prefill_attention` 与 FullPolicy 相同
+
+未来可以实现稀疏计算。
+
+## Phase 6: 修改 model_runner.py，默认创建 FullPolicy
+
+### 6.1 当前创建 sparse policy 的逻辑
+
+```python
+# 当前：只有指定 sparse_policy_type 时才创建
+if sparse_policy_type is not None:
+    sparse_policy = create_sparse_policy(sparse_policy_type, **kwargs)
+```
+
+### 6.2 修改后
+
+```python
+# 默认创建 FullPolicy
+if sparse_policy_type is None:
+    sparse_policy_type = SparsePolicyType.FULL
+
+sparse_policy = create_sparse_policy(sparse_policy_type, **kwargs)
+```
+
+### 6.3 位置
+
+`model_runner.py` 中的 `allocate_kv_cache` 方法。
+
+## Phase 7: 修改 attention.py，移除所有计算逻辑
+
+### 7.1 _chunked_prefill_attention 简化
+
+**当前（伪代码）**：
+```python
+# 获取 cpu_block_table
+# 调用 select_blocks
+# 调用 _ring_buffer_pipeline_load（包含计算逻辑）
+# 计算当前 chunk（flash_attn）
+# 合并结果（merge）
+```
+
+**修改后**：
+```python
+sparse_policy = kvcache_manager.sparse_policy
+if sparse_policy is None:
+    raise RuntimeError("sparse_policy is required for chunked prefill")
+
+o = sparse_policy.compute_prefill_attention(
+    q, k, v, self.layer_id, self.scale,
+    offload_engine, current_chunk_idx, seq, num_tokens
+)
+
+# 直接返回，不需要合并（policy 内部已完成所有计算）
+return o
+```
+
+### 7.2 删除的方法
+
+删除以下方法（逻辑移到 policy 中）：
+- `_ring_buffer_pipeline_load` - 逻辑移到 FullPolicy.compute_prefill_attention
+- `_sync_load_previous_chunks` - 逻辑移到 FullPolicy.compute_prefill_attention
+
+### 7.3 保留的方法
+
+- `_decode_with_layer_pipeline` - decode 逻辑保持不变
+- `_decode_ring_buffer_pipeline` - decode 逻辑保持不变
+
+## Phase 8: 测试验证
+
+- [ ] 运行 `test_needle.py --enable-offload` (FULL policy)
+- [ ] 验证输出正确 (needle value: 7492)
+- [ ] 验证性能无明显下降
+
+## 关键文件清单
+
+| 文件 | 修改内容 |
+|------|----------|
+| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/policy.py` | 添加三个抽象方法，修改 select_blocks 签名 |
+| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/full_policy.py` | 实现三个抽象方法，移动计算逻辑 |
+| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/quest.py` | 实现三个抽象方法 |
+| `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/xattn_bsa.py` | 实现三个抽象方法 |
+| `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py` | 默认创建 FullPolicy |
+| `nanovllm/layers/attention.py` | 简化 _chunked_prefill_attention，删除计算方法 |
 
 ## Decisions Made
 
-1. **方法命名**: `compute_prefill` / `compute_decode` 对应 chunked 版本的命名风格
-2. **estimate 方法**: 替代 `select_blocks`，返回 sparse mask 而不是 block IDs
-3. **XAttention**: `estimate()` 对应 COMPASS 的 `xattn_estimate()`
-4. **Full Policy**: `estimate()` 返回 None 表示使用完整 attention
-5. **Decode 默认实现**: 基类提供默认的 FlashAttention 实现
+- **决策 1**: 三个方法都是抽象方法，强制所有 policy 实现
+- **决策 2**: compute_prefill_attention 定义完整的 prefill 流程，是 policy 的主入口
+- **决策 3**: attention.py 只调用 policy.compute_prefill_attention，零计算逻辑
+- **决策 4**: chunked_prefill 检查 policy 是否存在，不存在则抛出错误
+- **决策 5**: model_runner 默认创建 FullPolicy 作为兜底
+- **决策 6**: _ring_buffer_pipeline_load 和 _sync_load_previous_chunks 删除，逻辑移到 policy

+# Task Plan: XAttention BSA 模块化集成
+
+## Goal
+将 XAttention BSA 策略按照统一接口集成到 nano-vllm 的 sparse policy 框架中，实现模块化设计。
+
+**最终验证目标**: 运行 `tests/test_ruler.py` 测试 32K 数据的 10 个以内的 sample，得到合理结果（不一定全部 PASS，但结果应在预期精度范围内）。
+
+---
+
+## 强制要求：使用 Hive-Mind 集群思考
+
+**必须使用 Claude Flow MCP 的 hive-mind 集群进行深度推理，提高实现精度。**
+
+### 启动 Hive-Mind 的方式
+
+在每个复杂阶段开始前，必须执行以下步骤：
+
+1. **初始化 Hive-Mind 集群**：
+   ```python
+   # 通过 MCP 调用
+   mcp__claude-flow_alpha__hive-mind_init(
+       topology="mesh",  # 或 "hierarchical", "ring", "star"
+       maxAgents=5,       # 集群大小
+   )
+   ```
+
+2. **生成专业代理（Spawning Specialists）**：
+   ```python
+   # 为不同任务类型创建代理
+   mcp__claude-flow_alpha__hive-mind_spawn(
+       count=3,
+       type="specialist",  # researcher, coder, analyst
+   )
+   ```
+
+3. **广播思考任务**：
+   ```python
+   mcp__claude-flow_alpha__hive-mind_broadcast(
+       message="分析当前架构设计的潜在问题...",
+       priority="high"
+   )
+   ```
+
+4. **获取集群状态和共识**：
+   ```python
+   mcp__claude-flow_alpha__hive-mind_status(verbose=True)
+   mcp__claude-flow_alpha__hive-mind_consensus(
+       action="propose",
+       type="design",
+       value="模块化接口设计方案"
+   )
+   ```
+
+### 适用阶段
+
+以下阶段**必须**使用 Hive-Mind 集群思考：
+
+- ✅ Phase 1: SparsePolicy 基类接口确认
+- ✅ Phase 2: XAttentionBSAPolicy 接口对齐
+- ✅ Phase 3: OffloadEngine 辅助方法模块化
+- ✅ Phase 5: attention.py 集成点验证
+
+其他阶段（Phase 4, 6, 7）可以使用标准思考模式。
+
+### 集群配置建议
+
+```yaml
+# 推荐配置
+topology: mesh          # 网状拓扑，适合并行推理
+maxAgents: 5             # 5个专业代理
+agentTypes:
+  - researcher          # 架构分析
+  - coder              # 代码实现
+  - analyst            # 接口验证
+  - optimizer          # 性能优化
+  - validator          # 正确性验证
+```
+
+### 输出要求
+
+使用 Hive-Mind 后，必须在计划中记录：
+1. 集群产生的关键洞察
+2. 多代理共识达成的决策
+3. 发现的潜在问题和解决方案
+
+---
+
+## 当前架构分析
+
+### SparsePolicy 基类接口
+
+从 `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/policy.py` 需要确认基类定义：
+
+```python
+class SparsePolicy:
+    # 能力标记
+    supports_prefill: bool
+    supports_decode: bool
+    requires_block_selection: bool
+
+    # 核心方法
+    def select_blocks(self, available_blocks: List[int], ctx: PolicyContext) -> List[int]
+
+    # 可选方法（prefill 专用）
+    def sparse_prefill_attention(self, q, k, v, layer_id) -> torch.Tensor
+
+    # 初始化
+    def initialize(self, num_layers, num_kv_heads, head_dim, num_cpu_blocks, dtype, device)
+    def reset(self)
+```
+
+### 当前 XAttentionBSAPolicy 实现
+
+已实现但需要确认模块化集成的部分：
+- `xattn_bsa.py` - 策略类实现
+- `config.py` - 枚举和参数
+- `sparse/__init__.py` - 策略工厂
+- `offload_engine.py` - 辅助方法
+- `attention.py` - 集成点
+
+## 详细实现计划
+
+### Phase 1: 确保 SparsePolicy 基类接口统一
+
+**任务**: 验证 `SparsePolicy` 基类定义是否包含所有必需的方法
+
+**步骤**:
+1. 读取 `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/policy.py`
+2. 确认基类定义包含：
+   - `supports_prefill`, `supports_decode`, `requires_block_selection` 类属性
+   - `select_blocks()` 方法
+   - `sparse_prefill_attention()` 方法（可选）
+   - `initialize()`, `reset()` 方法
+3. 如果缺失，补充到基类定义中
+
+**预期结果**: 基类定义完整，所有策略类可以遵循统一接口
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: XAttentionBSAPolicy 接口对齐
+
+**任务**: 确保 XAttentionBSAPolicy 完全符合 SparsePolicy 接口
+
+**步骤**:
+1. 确认 `xattn_bsa.py` 中的类属性正确：
+   ```python
+   class XAttentionBSAPolicy(SparsePolicy):
+       supports_prefill = True
+       supports_decode = False
+       requires_block_selection = False  # 注意：BSA 内部处理选择
+   ```
+
+2. 确保方法签名与基类一致：
+   - `select_blocks(available_blocks, ctx) -> List[int]`
+   - `sparse_prefill_attention(q, k, v, layer_id) -> Tensor`
+   - `initialize(...)`
+   - `reset()`
+
+3. 添加文档说明：BSA 在 prefill 阶段内部处理 block 选择，因此 `select_blocks` 返回所有可用块
+
+**预期结果**: XAttentionBSAPolicy 完全符合 SparsePolicy 统一接口
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: OffloadEngine 辅助方法模块化
+
+**任务**: 确保 OffloadEngine 的辅助方法正确定义且模块化
+
+**步骤**:
+1. 确认 `offload_engine.py` 中的辅助方法位置：
+   ```python
+   # 在 OffloadEngine 类中添加这两个方法
+   def load_block_sample_from_cpu(self, cpu_block_id, layer_id, num_samples):
+       """加载采样 tokens 用于估算阶段"""
+       ...
+
+   def load_block_full_from_cpu(self, cpu_block_id, layer_id):
+       """加载完整 block 用于计算阶段"""
+       ...
+   ```
+
+2. 确保方法签名与 `xattn_bsa.py` 中的调用一致
+
+3. 添加适当的文档说明这两个方法的用途和使用场景
+
+**预期结果**: OffloadEngine 提供统一的 block 加载接口
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: 模块化集成到工厂模式
+
+**任务**: 确保策略创建通过统一的工厂模式
+
+**步骤**:
+1. 检查 `nanovllm/kvcache/__init__.py` 中的 `create_kvcache_manager` 函数
+
+2. 确认策略创建逻辑清晰：
+   ```python
+   # 根据策略类型构建相应的 kwargs
+   if sparse_policy_type == SparsePolicyType.XATTN_BSA:
+       policy_kwargs = {
+           'block_size': getattr(config, 'sparse_block_size', 128),
+           'samples_per_chunk': getattr(config, 'sparse_samples_per_chunk', 128),
+           'threshold': getattr(config, 'sparse_threshold', 0.9),
+           'use_triton': getattr(config, 'sparse_use_triton', True),
+           'stride': getattr(config, sparse_stride', 8),
+       }
+   ```
+
+3. 确认所有策略类型都有相应的 kwargs 构建逻辑
+
+**预期结果**: 通过 `create_sparse_policy()` 创建所有策略
+
+---
+
+### Phase 5: attention.py 集成点验证
+
+**任务**: 确保 attention.py 中的集成点正确调用策略接口
+
+**步骤**:
+1. 检查 `nanovllm/layers/attention.py` 中的 `_chunked_prefill_attention` 方法
+
+2. 确认集成逻辑：
+   ```python
+   # 检测策略是否有 sparse_prefill_attention 方法
+   if sparse_policy is not None and hasattr(sparse_policy, 'sparse_prefill_attention'):
+       if sparse_policy.supports_prefill:
+           # 使用策略的 sparse_prefill_attention 方法
+           o = sparse_policy.sparse_prefill_attention(q, k, v, self.layer_id)
+           # 处理异步 offload
+           return o
+
+       # 否则使用标准流程（Quest, etc.）
+       # ...
+   ```
+
+3. 确保没有绕过策略接口直接调用其他逻辑
+
+**预期结果**: attention.py 通过统一的策略接口调用 BSA
+
+---
+
+### Phase 6: 配置参数模块化
+
+**任务**: 确保配置参数结构清晰，易于使用
+
+**步骤**:
+1. 检查 `nanovllm/config.py` 中的配置结构
+
+2. 确认 XAttention BSA 参数组织清晰：
+   ```python
+   # 通用 sparse 参数
+   sparse_policy: SparsePolicyType = SparsePolicyType.FULL
+   sparse_topk_blocks: int = 8        # Quest
+   sparse_threshold_blocks: int = 4     # Quest
+
+   # XATTN_BSA 专用参数
+   sparse_block_size: int = 128
+   sparse_samples_per_chunk: int = 128
+   sparse_threshold: float = 0.9
+   sparse_use_triton: bool = True
+   sparse_stride: int = 8
+   ```
+
+3. 考虑是否需要参数分组或嵌套配置
+
+**预期结果**: 配置参数清晰，易于理解和使用
+
+---
+
+### Phase 7: 模块化验证测试
+
+**任务**: 创建简单的验证脚本确保模块化集成正确
+
+**步骤**:
+1. 创建 `tests/test_xattn_bsa_integration.py` 测试脚本
+
+2. 验证以下功能：
+   - XAttentionBSAPolicy 可以通过 `create_sparse_policy()` 创建
+   - 策略正确响应 `supports_prefill`, `supports_decode` 查询
+   - `select_blocks()` 方法返回正确结果
+   - OffloadEngine 辅助方法可以正常调用
+   - 在模拟环境中策略可以被正确调用
+
+3. 测试用例：
+   ```python
+   # Test 1: 策略创建
+   from nanovllm.config import Config, SparsePolicyType
+   from nanovllm.kvcache.sparse import create_sparse_policy
+
+   policy = create_sparse_policy(SparsePolicyType.XATTN_BSA)
+   assert hasattr(policy, 'sparse_prefill_attention')
+   assert policy.supports_prefill == True
+   assert policy.supports_decode == False
+
+   # Test 2: 接口一致性
+   # 验证方法签名
+   # ...
+
+   # Test 3: OffloadEngine 辅助方法
+   # ...
+   ```
+
+**预期结果**: 所有测试通过，模块化集成验证成功
+
+---
+
+## 关键设计原则
+
+### 1. 接口统一性
+- 所有策略通过 `SparsePolicy` 基类提供统一接口
+- 工厂模式创建策略实例
+- 策略切换透明，不影响其他模块
+
+### 2. 模块化独立性
+- 每个策略类独立实现
+- OffloadEngine 提供通用辅助方法
+- attention.py 通过策略接口调用，不依赖具体实现
+
+### 3. 可扩展性
+- 添加新策略只需：
+  1. 创建新的策略类继承 `SparsePolicy`
+  2. 添加到 `SparsePolicyType` 枚举
+  3. 在工厂函数中添加创建逻辑
+  4. 添加相应的配置参数
+
+---
+
+## 文件修改清单
+
+### 必须修改的文件
+1. `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/policy.py` - 确保基类定义完整
+2. `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/xattn_bsa.py` - 确保接口对齐
+3. `nanovllm/kvcache/offload_engine.py` - 添加辅助方法
+4. `nanovllm/layers/attention.py` - 验证集成点
+5. `nanovllm/config.py` - 确认参数结构
+6. `nanovllm/kvcache/__init__.py` - 确认工厂模式
+7. `nanovllm/kvcache/sparse/__init__.py` - 确认注册逻辑
+
+### 可选创建的文件
+- `tests/test_xattn_bsa_integration.py` - 集成验证测试
+
+---
+
+## 实现状态
+
+- [ ] Phase 1: SparsePolicy 基类接口确认
+- [ ] Phase 2: XAttentionBSAPolicy 接口对齐
+- [ ] Phase 3: OffloadEngine 辅助方法模块化
+- [ ] Phase 4: 工厂模式集成验证
+- [ ] Phase 5: attention.py 集成点验证
+- [ ] Phase 6: 配置参数模块化
+- [ ] Phase 7: 模块化验证测试
+
+---
+
+## 备注
+
+- 此计划专注于模块化集成，不涉及算法优化
+- 所有修改都遵循现有框架的设计模式
+- 重点在于接口统一和模块解耦
+- 测试阶段使用简单脚本验证即可，不需要完整的端到端测试

-Test: Compare xattn_estimate vs xattn_estimate_chunked

-Verify that chunked estimation with EXTERNAL chunking produces the same mask
-as standard estimation. This ensures the chunked version can be used in
-chunked prefill scenarios without accuracy loss.
