Gahow Wang be948d32b8 P2: real engine-state feed replaces stale shadow counters for migration targeting
vLLM scheduler publishes real state (running/waiting, KV free, and the
max-in-progress-prefill signal /metrics lacks) to a tmpfs/redis store ~20Hz;
router reads it and avoids GIL-stall (mid-large-prefill) + KV-capacity-wall
targets, using real load over 30s-stale shadow counters. Components:
engine_state.py (canonical+reader), instrument_engine_state.py (scheduler
patch, file/redis writer), migration_target.py (scorer), proxy wiring
(--engine-state-uri, off=unchanged). All unit-tested without GPU; not yet
run live. See P2_ENGINE_STATE.md.

"""Patch vLLM V1 scheduler to publish REAL engine state to a shared store,
so the global router reads ground truth instead of its own stale shadow
counters (reconciled only every 30s).
Published per engine (key = AGENTIC_ENGINE_ID), throttled ~20 Hz from a
daemon thread (off the forward hot path):
{ts, num_running, num_waiting, gpu_blocks_total, gpu_blocks_free,
gpu_kv_used_frac, pending_prefill_tokens, ongoing_decode_tokens,
num_prefilling, max_prefill_remaining}
`max_prefill_remaining` is the key signal /metrics does NOT expose: the
largest in-progress prefill on the engine. A big in-progress prefill holds
the GIL and stalls the mooncake receiver_loop — so the router should avoid
migrating KV to such an instance (P2).
Transport (env AGENTIC_ENGINE_STATE_URI):
file:///dev/shm/agentic_engine_state (default; atomic temp+rename)
redis://host:port/0 (optional; needs redis-py + server)
Self-contained (inlined writer) so the engine process needs no repo import.
Apply/revert markers: # ES_INSTRUMENT_START / # ES_INSTRUMENT_END.
Usage:
python instrument_engine_state.py --apply [--venv PATH]
python instrument_engine_state.py --revert [--venv PATH]
python instrument_engine_state.py --check [--venv PATH]
