# Main-Claim Allowed Runs

Status: current audit gate
Date: 2026-05-25

## Allowed For Workload-Shape Claims

These artifacts can support trace/workload characterization claims:

- `dash0:/home/admin/cpfs/wjh/ali-trace/trace-glm5.1-formatted/051315-051317.jsonl`
  - Compact formatted full trace.
  - CPU summary recorded in `full_trace_summary.json`.
  - Supports long-input/short-output and session token-mass skew claims.
  - Does not prove runtime cache hits or online sequentiality.
- `traces/w600_r0.0015_st30.jsonl`
  - Local sampled trace.
  - Useful for local dry runs and figure generation.
  - Not the canonical full-trace source.

## Allowed For Legacy Baseline Sanity Claims

These existing runs can support sanity-level comparisons, but not final
paper-grade SRR claims:

- `outputs/gpu_ab_combined`
- `outputs/gpu_ab_pdsep`
- `outputs/contention_16s_ts10`
- `outputs/contention_16s_elastic`
- `outputs/combined_1000req`
- `outputs/exp3_pd_sep_tp1_mooncake`

Allowed claims:

- Static PD-sep was worse than combined in these existing fixed-request runs.
- Elastic transfer-based migration did not improve the summarized 500-request
  high-contention run.
- GPU-util imbalance exists in these artifacts.

Disallowed claims:

- Online SRR.
- Per-session sequentiality.
- Causal attribution of prefill/decode interference.
- Causal attribution of session hot spots from GPU utilization alone.

## Not Yet Allowed For Main Claims

The following need fresh instrumentation or fresh runs:

- Batch 2 prefill/decode interference.
- Batch 3 session hot-spot root cause.
- Batch 4 sustainable request rate.
- Batch 5 failure attribution near SRR boundary.

## Required Upgrade Before Paper-Grade Claims

Future main-claim runs must include:

- per-request actual dispatch timestamp;
- per-request finish/error timestamp;
- route decision and selected worker;
- per-worker queue delay;
- per-worker KV occupancy;
- per-worker APC/cache-hit snapshot;
- attempted/completed/error/goodput counters;
- session-causal load generation.
