docs(experiments): E4-v8 results on real-timestamp SWE-Bench trace

V8 ran the third_party qwen35-swebench-50sess trace (4449 reqs,
5.44h original timeline, p50 inter-turn 2.53s) at TIME_SCALE=2 with
the SnapshotStore refactor, PREFILL_MEM_FRAC=0.7, DECODE_MEM_FRAC=0.8,
16 GB snapshot_buf.

Headline result on this realistic workload:
  TTFT p99 = 167 ms  (vs E1's 207s on burst trace)
  Latency p99 = 7.4s
  100% success rate
  96.4% direct-to-D fast path

The earlier TTFT 100+s numbers on E1/E4-v3 were a burst-trace
queueing artifact (all 1285 reqs arrived at t=0). On real-time
arrivals KVC stays in normal sub-second TTFT territory.

D→P snapshot link infrastructure works end-to-end (16 GB
snapshot_buf alloc'd, RPCs reach handlers, structural log
captures everything). But 0 OK events because sessions get
evicted from D before agentic's reseed path calls dump. Three
fix paths identified in §5.

 Use `uv` to manage all python environment. `uv add` to manage deps so that we can `uv sync` to get exactly same runnable environment each time.
 
-Algorithm-layer unit tests (no GPU, no SGLang):
-
-```bash
-uv sync --group test
-uv run pytest

-
 ## Goal
 
 Build a minimal prototype on top of **SGLang xPyD** to test whether **session-aware / KV-cache-aware P/D routing** can improve **end-to-end latency** for agentic coding workloads.

-2. **核心薄弱点**：(a) session-level eviction 与 KVC 设计意图冲突；(b) D→P 增量 KV 同步不存在，TTFT p99 长尾来自此；(c) mooncake "instance not alive" 级联是控制层根本可用性问题；(d) 评测仍缺多 baseline 多 trace 强统计。
-3. **不需要 GPU 也能推进**的事：算法层 unit test、形式化设计文档（block-level evict、D→P sync 接口契约）、评测协议、分层分析工具、文档体系收口。本路线图的 Milestone 1 大部分都属于此类。
-4. **进 OSDI/SOSP 必须做的**：执行 §S1（block-level evict）+ §S2（D→P sync POC）+ §M2/M3/M4（多 baseline / 全 Ali / paired 协议）。预计 3–4 个月单/双人。

-## 2. 已经"硬"成立的贡献
-
-按"reviewer 能不能反驳"为标尺：
-
-1. **Reset-on-success 修复 v1 thrashing**：v1 永久 blacklist → migration 死循环 failure mode 有实测 + Algorithm 3 形式化 + Theorem 1 的不饿死证明（`KVC_ROUTER_ALGORITHM.md` §3.4 / §4.1）。
-2. **三段算法分工清晰**：Algorithm 1（字典序 Route）+ Algorithm 2（D 自治 Admit RPC）+ Algorithm 3（Dispatch + reset-on-success）。v5 把 admission 从 router 估算改成 D RPC（Option D）是把 capacity ground truth 与 routing score 解耦的正确分层。
-3. **Direct-to-D 快路径的确定性命中**（Theorem 2）：只要 residency ⊇ prefix ∧ append ≤ τ_append ∧ cap_ok 三条件同时成立必走快路径；SWE-Bench 91.6% 命中、TTFT p50 = 0.43s 是结构性结果。
-4. **每一个 negative result 都有 forensic 级解释**：mooncake death、cold-D、reseed 慢路径、session-level evict 都有代码定位 + 时间线 + 反例。这条对 paper 是真正加分项。

-
-## 3. 让 reviewer 一击致命的薄弱点
-
-### 3.1 评测方法层
-
-- **M1 N 不足**：SWE-Bench v2 baseline N=3 确认 categorical，v2 自身 N 不足；缺 bootstrap CI。
-- **M2 比较口径不对等**：E2 80% 失败时用 "successful only" 算 latency 与 E1 全集比；paper 必须 paired-on-same-trial。
-- **M3 trace 偏 KVC-friendly**：KVC-fit slice 按 small-append + high overlap 筛过；full Ali（turn2+ ratio 26%、single-turn 极多）的 dilution 后结果没跑过。
-- **M4 baseline 不够强**：缺 vLLM + prefix-cache、DistServe、SplitWise、Mooncake-Master 任何一个。
-- **M5 trace 单一性**：缺 ShareGPT/Mooncake trace、缺 long-context tool-use agent benchmark、缺合成 adversarial trace。
-- **M6 硬件覆盖**：只 single-node ≤ 8 GPU；没有跨节点、没有 ≥ 32 GPU 集群实测。
-
-### 3.2 系统设计层
-
-- **S1 Session-level eviction 与 KVC 设计意图冲突**：90 次 evict、平均一次 free 67K tokens、25/50 session 必须 50–90K 重 prefill。`KVC_EVICTION_GRANULARITY_DESIGN_ZH.md` 已识别但未实现修复。
-- **S2 D→P 增量同步不存在**：TTFT p99 长尾 50% 来自 P 重 prefill。`capacity-backup` 是 seed-time 静态快照，不是 D→P sync。修复需改 SGLang radix 的单生产者假设。
-- **S3 Mooncake 级联 death**：admission no-space → 持续重试 seed → 心跳掉线 → SGLang 整批 abort（E2 1054/1285 失败）。控制层根本可用性 bug。
-- **S4 Admission RPC 同步阻塞**：缺 backoff / hedging / staleness budget。D scheduler GIL 抖动即把 router 卡死。
-- **S5 Cold-D / overlap-pinning**：boilerplate 24-token block hash 让所有 session 与 D0/D1 重叠 → D2/D3 0 binding。load-floor bonus 是补丁，不是 first-principles 修复。
-- **S6 SGLang 本地 patch 已 785 行 / 10 文件**，含 `schedule_batch.py:1646` 这种 hot-path 不变量改动；E3 crash 就是 vendored patch 引入的 latent landmine。
-- **S7 失败恢复 / 幂等性**：streaming session 在 chunked-prefill retry 下幂等性靠 `SessionSlot.restore_to_req`；缺 worker crash / mooncake 重连 / partial KV 损坏的恢复 protocol。
-- **S8 没有 multi-tenant / SLO-aware scheduling**：算法目标隐式 w_ttft=w_lat=1。生产里 interactive / batch / background 必须分级。
-- **S9 Topology fixed at boot**：P/D 比例是启动参数。生产负载需要 elastic。
-- **S10 Backpressure pause hint 信号未闭环**：触发 20 次但因 no-BP 无人响应；control-plane 没接通。
-
-### 3.3 工程基础设施层
-
-- **可观测性**：metrics 是 jsonl + 离线 `recompute_summary.py`；生产需要 Prometheus + Grafana + OpenTelemetry trace。
-- **形式化测试**：算法层与状态层缺 unit test；`SessionSlot.restore_to_req` 幂等性是作者自己 flag 的 invariant。
-- **混沌注入**：mooncake death 这种 control-plane failure 必须有 fault injection harness。
-- **代码体量**：`replay.py` 2460 行，集 orchestration / policy hook / control plane / metrics 于一身——prototype OK，paper-quality artifact 偏弱。

----
-
-## 4. 路线图
-
-分三个 milestone。每个 milestone 可独立交付（paper 章节或工程 release）。
-
-### Milestone 1 — Defensible SOSP/OSDI submission（3–4 个月，单 / 双人）
-
-**目标**：把现有算法 + 失败诊断收口成能扛 PC 第一轮的稿子。
-
-1. **执行 §S1（block-level eviction refactor）** — 见 `docs/BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md`。
-   - Streaming-session decode 输出在每个 turn finish 时通过 `cache_finished_req` 增量提交进 radix tree。
-   - `SessionSlot` 退化为纯 metadata（仅持 `last_node` + lock_ref）。
-   - `release_session` 改为 `dec_lock_ref` + 删 slot；evict 完全交给 SGLang radix LRU。
-   - 预期：evict 粒度从 67K tokens/次降到 24 tokens/次；reseed 频率降一个数量级。
-2. **执行 §S2（D→P 增量同步 POC）** — 见 `docs/D_TO_P_SYNC_CONTRACT_ZH.md`。
-   - microbench 证明：D append 完成后异步推 KV block 回 P 端 radix → 下次 reseed 跳过 re-prefill。
-3. **修 §S3（mooncake death 级联）**：admission RPC backoff + jitter；per-D pending-seed budget；mooncake heartbeat 与 admission 解耦。
-4. **修 §S5 的 first-principles 解法**：把 `overlap` 重定义为 "session 在 D 上独占 prefix 的 hash 数"（去掉 boilerplate 共享 hash 贡献），让 score 自然分散。
-5. **重做评测**：见 `docs/EVALUATION_PROTOCOL_ZH.md`。N≥3 + bootstrap CI + 多 baseline + 全 Ali + 分层报告。
-6. **形式化扩充**：加 Theorem 3（block-level evict 下重 prefill cost 上界）+ Theorem 4（D→P sync 的 staleness budget β 与 reseed cost 关系）。
-7. **Artifact**：一键脚本 + Dockerfile + 4×A100 一小时复现核心 table/figure。
-
-### Milestone 2 — Production-quality serving substrate（再 3–6 个月，2–3 人）
-
-8. **控制平面分层**：把 `replay.py` 拆成 `router/` / `control/` / `obs/` / `orch/`。
-9. **Elastic topology**：autoscaling controller，输入 (P queue, D transfer queue, D KV usage)。
-10. **Multi-tenant + SLO classes**：interactive / batch / background 三档独立 admission budget。
-11. **Failure injection harness**：mooncake link flap / D OOM kill / router GC pause / partial KV corruption；每个 case 有恢复 SLA。
-12. **Persistent KV tier**：CPU DRAM + NVMe + RDMA-attached pool；evict 改为 demote。
-13. **Cross-node + heterogeneous**：H100 + H200 + L40S 混合，topology-aware routing。
-14. **Observability**：per-request OpenTelemetry + Prometheus per-D + Grafana 主面板。
-
-### Milestone 3 — 真正能进 OSDI'27 的科研增量（6–12 个月）
-
-15. **Learning-based admission / migration**：multi-armed bandit / RL 控制 τ_reject 与 K；用 trace 训 session-aliveness predictor。
-16. **跨 router residency consensus**：轻量 gossip 共享 `Σ.resident[d]`。
-17. **可证明 competitive ratio**：在 oracle KV-residency 模型下证明 KVC expected TTFT 与 offline optimal 比值有界。
-18. **分布式 prefix tree**：逻辑 prefix 映射到多 D 物理副本，支持 multi-tenant prefix 共享（system prompt / tool schema）。
-19. **Energy-aware variant**：GPU SM 利用率 + PCIe/RDMA 能耗进目标函数。
-20. **End-to-end agent serving framing**：从 request-level latency 上升到 agent task completion time（coding agent 一个 task 30+ turn）。

-## 6. 单句结论
-
-> 这个项目已经具备了 SOSP/OSDI workshop / poster 的素材；要进 main track，需要把 §S1（block-level evict）和 §S2（D→P sync）做实、把 §M3（full Ali）和 §M4（两个强 baseline）补齐、把 §S3（mooncake 级联 death）的 control-plane fix 写进可重复 artifact。如果只能做一件事，先做 block-level eviction refactor —— 它同时解决"reseed 太频繁"和"P 端 radix 多生产者扩展的前置条件"。

-## 0. TL;DR
-
-把 `SessionAwareCache` 当前对 streaming-session **整段 KV 一次性 free** 的语义改成：
-
-1. Streaming-session decode 输出在 turn finish 时 **增量 commit 进 radix tree**。
-2. `SessionSlot` 退化为**纯 metadata**（仅持 `last_node` + lock_ref 状态），不再独占 KV 区间。
-3. `release_session` 改为只 dec_lock_ref + 删 slot，**让 SGLang 标准 radix LRU 按 block 粒度蚕食**。
-
-预期收益：evict 粒度从一次 ~67K tokens 降到 ~24 tokens（page_size 个 token），reseed 频率降一个数量级；同时把 P 端 radix tree 改造成可被外部喂数据（为 [D_TO_P_SYNC_CONTRACT_ZH.md](D_TO_P_SYNC_CONTRACT_ZH.md) 铺路）。

-
-## 1. 现状代码梳理
-
-### 1.1 关键文件与函数
-
-`third_party/sglang/python/sglang/srt/mem_cache/session_aware_cache.py`
-
-| 函数 / 字段 | 当前语义 |
-|---|---|
-| `SessionSlot.req_pool_idx` | streaming-session 独占的 req_pool 槽位 |
-| `SessionSlot.kv_committed_len` | 上一 turn 完成时已 commit 的 KV 长度（已计入 cache_protected_len 部分进入 radix） |
-| `SessionSlot.kv_allocated_len` | 当前已分配但**未进 radix** 的 KV 长度（"session-exclusive 尾部"） |
-| `SessionSlot.cache_protected_len` | 首 turn 提交 radix 时的 protected 边界 |
-| `match_prefix(streaming req)` | 命中 slot → 返回 `req_to_token[req_pool_idx, :prefix_len]`，bypass radix |
-| `cache_unfinished_req(streaming req)` | subsequent turns → **完全 skip inner**（不进 radix） |
-| `cache_finished_req(streaming req)` | 调 `slot.save_from_req`，**不调 inner.cache_finished_req** |
-| `release_session(sid)` | `dec_lock_ref(slot.last_node)` + `free(req_to_token[req_pool_idx, cache_protected_len:kv_allocated_len])` + 回收 req_pool 槽位 |
-
-### 1.2 当前为什么是错的（重述）
-
-`[cache_protected_len, kv_allocated_len)` 是首轮入 radix 之后所有累积的 decode 输出 + 后续 turn 的 extend。在 Inferact / SWE-Bench 实测：
-
-- `cache_protected_len` ≈ 首 turn boilerplate ~12K
-- `kv_allocated_len` 累积 50–100K
-- 每次 `release_session` 一次性释放 38–88K，这部分**从未进 radix**，无法享受 leaf-by-leaf 渐进 evict
-
-→ session 被 evict 后必须从 client 原 prompt 重 prefill 全长 + mooncake transfer 全长，跟 naive PD-disagg 等价（详见 manifesto §1）。
-
----
-
-## 2. 目标行为表
-
-| 场景 | 现状 | 目标 |
-|---|---|---|
-| Session 累积 50K KV，D 满了 | `release_session` 一次释放 38K | radix LRU 从最老 leaf 开始 evict，单次 ~24 tokens |
-| Session 被 evict 后再到来 | 必须 reseed 50K | 仅 re-prefill 被 evict 的 leaf 部分（典型 ≤ 5K） |
-| Evicted session TTFT | 50–90K reseed ≈ 3–7s | 5K append-prefill ≈ 200ms |
-| 不被 evict 的 session | 同 session 内 turns append-only | 同样 append-only（不变） |
-| Direct-to-D fast path 命中率 | 91.6% (SWE-Bench) / 38% (E3 Inferact) | 应 ≥ 85% 即使 saturation |
-
----
-
-## 3. 设计
-
-### 3.1 SessionSlot 字段精简
-
-**after refactor**：
-
-```python
-@dataclass
-class SessionSlot:
-    virtual_node: _VirtualNode = field(default_factory=_VirtualNode)
-
-    # Pointer into the radix tree — the deepest node owned by this session's
-    # committed prefix. Held under inc_lock_ref so radix LRU never evicts this
-    # *active* leaf out from under a turn-in-progress. Released by
-    # release_session.
-    last_node: Any = None
-    swa_uuid_for_lock: Optional[str] = None
-
-    # Bookkeeping fields (no longer authoritative ownership of KV indices).
-    last_access_time: float = field(default_factory=time.monotonic)
-
-    # Mamba state stays slot-owned (mamba doesn't fit the radix model).
-    mamba_pool_idx: Any = None
-    mamba_ping_pong_track_buffer: Any = None
-    mamba_next_track_idx: Any = None
-    mamba_last_track_seqlen: Any = None
-    mamba_branching_seqlen: Any = None
-```
-
-**删除**：`req_pool_idx`、`kv_committed_len`、`kv_allocated_len`、`cache_protected_len`、`swa_evicted_seqlen`。这些字段的真值改由 radix tree + req_to_token_pool 共同维护。
-
-### 3.2 `cache_finished_req` 改造
-
-**after refactor**：
-
-```python
-def cache_finished_req(self, req: Req, is_insert: bool = True, **kwargs):
-    if not _is_streaming(req):
-        return self.inner.cache_finished_req(req, is_insert=is_insert, **kwargs)
-
-    session_id = req.session.session_id
-    slot = self.slots.setdefault(session_id, SessionSlot())
-
-    # KEY CHANGE: always delegate to inner — this inserts the new tokens
-    # (kv_committed_len .. fill_ids end) as radix-tree blocks. Subsequent
-    # match_prefix calls for this session will hit the radix tree directly.
-    result = self.inner.cache_finished_req(req, is_insert=is_insert, **kwargs)
-
-    # Update slot bookkeeping only (no KV ownership).
-    slot.last_node = req.last_node
-    slot.swa_uuid_for_lock = req.swa_uuid_for_lock
-    slot.last_access_time = time.monotonic()
-
-    # Mamba state still goes through slot.
-    slot.mamba_pool_idx = req.mamba_pool_idx
-    ...
-    return result
-```
-
-**不变量**：
-- `inner.cache_finished_req` 会把 `[kv_committed_len_old, kv_committed_len_new)` 范围内对齐到 page_size 的 KV 插入 radix。这个语义来自 SGLang 标准实现，无需改 inner。
-- `slot.last_node` 现在指向**当前 session 已 commit prefix 的尾节点**，每个 turn 后向前推进。
-- `dec_lock_ref(old_last_node)` + `inc_lock_ref(new_last_node)` 必须在 turn 切换时执行。
-
-### 3.3 `cache_unfinished_req` 改造
-
-streaming session 的 subsequent turn **不再 skip inner**。原因：现在 `match_prefix` 走 radix，chunked-prefill 中间状态也需要 inner 维护：
-
-```python
-def cache_unfinished_req(self, req: Req, **kwargs):
-    if _is_streaming(req) and kwargs.get("chunked", False):
-        # Chunked prefill: forward to inner so the per-chunk extend gets
-        # tracked in the radix LRU access timestamps.
-        ...
-    self.inner.cache_unfinished_req(req, **kwargs)
-```
-
-具体的 chunked 处理细节需要保留对 `prefix_indices` 重建的逻辑（参考当前实现 lines 215–225），但调用 `inner.cache_unfinished_req` 不能 skip。
-
-### 3.4 `match_prefix` 改造
-
-退化为**纯 inner 转发**——SessionSlot 不再持 KV 指针：
-
-```python
-def match_prefix(self, params: MatchPrefixParams) -> MatchResult:
-    # No more slot-fast-path. Streaming sessions reuse KV via radix tree
-    # match like every other request.
-    return self.inner.match_prefix(params)
-```
-
-调用方需要的 "这个 session 的 committed prefix 长度" 信息改为通过 `inner.match_prefix(...).device_indices.shape[0]` 推导。
-
-### 3.5 `release_session` 改造
-
-**after refactor**：
-
-```python
-def release_session(self, session_id: str) -> int:
-    slot = self.slots.pop(session_id, None)
-    if slot is None:
-        return 0
-
-    # Just release our radix lock — radix LRU can now reclaim our prefix
-    # leaves at its own pace. NO direct token_to_kv_pool free.
-    if slot.last_node is not None:
-        if slot.swa_uuid_for_lock is not None:
-            self.inner.dec_lock_ref(
-                slot.last_node,
-                DecLockRefParams(swa_uuid_for_lock=slot.swa_uuid_for_lock),
-            )
-        else:
-            self.inner.dec_lock_ref(slot.last_node)
-
-    # Mamba state still needs explicit cleanup if present.
-    if slot.mamba_pool_idx is not None:
-        ...
-
-    return 0  # "freed_tokens" no longer meaningful; radix LRU shed lazily
-```
-
-### 3.6 `get_session_status` / `list_session_statuses` 改造
-
-`resident_tokens` 现在的真值来自 radix tree。需要在 inner 暴露一个 helper：
-
-```python
-# In BasePrefixCache / RadixCache:
-def tokens_under(self, node) -> int:
-    """Count tokens in the path from root to `node` (inclusive)."""
-    ...
-
-# In SessionAwareCache:
-def get_session_status(self, session_id: str) -> Optional[Dict[str, Any]]:
-    slot = self.slots.get(session_id)
-    if slot is None:
-        return None
-    resident_tokens = self.inner.tokens_under(slot.last_node) if slot.last_node else 0
-    return {
-        "session_id": session_id,
-        "resident": resident_tokens > 0,
-        "resident_tokens": int(resident_tokens),
-        "last_access_time": float(slot.last_access_time),
-    }
-```
-
-`admit_direct_append` 的容量检查改用 `resident_tokens` 的 radix 真值（去掉 `kv_committed_len / kv_allocated_len` 双值不一致的可能）。
-
-### 3.7 SGLang 调度路径配套改动
-
-参考 `schedule_batch.py:1572-1646`，当前 streaming-session correction（commit b8e6f13 / 986f351 引入）建立在 SessionSlot 拥有独立 KV 范围之上。block-level refactor 后这条 correction 路径**完全无需存在**——req 的 fill_ids / prefix_indices 由 inner radix `match_prefix` 直接给出一致值。
-
-**移除项**：
-- `schedule_batch.py:1572-1585` 的 `actual_extend_len = max(0, len(fill_ids) - len(prefix_indices))` correction 块。
-- `schedule_batch.py:1646` 的 `assert seq_len - pre_len == req.extend_input_len`（refactor 后该不变量结构上必然成立）。
-- E3 触发的 latent landmine ([E3_FINDINGS_ZH.md](E3_FINDINGS_ZH.md) §2)随之消失。
-
----
-
-## 4. 不变量（必须在 PR 自测中覆盖）
-
-| Inv | 内容 |
-|---|---|
-| I1 | `release_session(sid)` 后，下一次同 session 请求的 `match_prefix` 行为只取决于 radix tree 的常驻状态——不依赖 `slots` dict。 |
-| I2 | 任意 (session_id, turn_id) 的 `cache_finished_req` 调用后，radix tree 上必然存在一条 root→leaf 路径覆盖该 turn 的全部 committed token（即 `tokens_under(slot.last_node)` 严格不降）。 |
-| I3 | `restore_to_req` 必须**幂等**：在 chunked-prefill 重试场景下，对同一 req 可被调用多次而最终 req 状态等价。当前实现靠"不清 slot 字段"实现 → refactor 后改由 radix `match_prefix` 的纯函数性质保证。 |
-| I4 | 无 streaming-session 的请求（`req.session is None`）行为 **不变**：所有路径 short-circuit 到 inner。 |
-| I5 | 任一 turn 结束后，对 `slot.last_node` 的 `inc_lock_ref` 必须有对应的 `dec_lock_ref`，且 `release_session` 是最终的释放点。 |
-
----
-
-## 5. 测试计划（无 GPU 可跑）
-
-### 5.1 单元测试（mock inner cache）
-
-写一个 `MockRadixCache(BasePrefixCache)`，记录所有 `cache_finished_req / cache_unfinished_req / match_prefix / evict / dec_lock_ref` 调用序列。然后：
-
-| Test | 断言 |
-|---|---|
-| `test_release_session_no_direct_free` | 调 `release_session` 后，Mock 上 **没有** 直接 `free(kv_indices)` 调用，只有 `dec_lock_ref` |
-| `test_subsequent_turn_inserts_radix` | 模拟 turn 0 → 1 → 2 三次 `cache_finished_req`，断言每次都触发 `inner.cache_finished_req` |
-| `test_match_prefix_uses_inner` | streaming 与 non-streaming 都仅走 `inner.match_prefix` |
-| `test_restore_idempotent` | 模拟 chunked-prefill 重试，连续两次 `match_prefix` 返回的 `device_indices` 一致 |
-| `test_eviction_under_pressure_is_block_level` | inject 一个 "pool 满，必须 evict 24 tokens" 的状态，断言 `release_session` 不被触发，inner 的 LRU 单步走 |
-
-### 5.2 Property-based 测试
-
-```python
-@given(turns=lists(integers(min_value=24, max_value=2048), min_size=1, max_size=50))
-def test_committed_tokens_monotone(turns):
-    """tokens_under(slot.last_node) is monotonically non-decreasing across turns."""
-    ...
-```
-
-### 5.3 Integration smoke（需要 GPU，但放在 sweep 脚本里）
-
-执行 `sweep_e2_kvc_v2_rdma.sh` 同 trace 同配置，对比指标：
-- evict 总次数（期望从 90 → < 10）
-- 单次平均 evict tokens（期望从 67K → < 500）
-- TTFT p99（期望从 1.28s → < 0.7s）
-- direct-to-D 命中率（期望 ≥ 85%）
-
----
-
-## 6. 工程量与风险
-
-### 6.1 工程量
-
-| 工作 | 估时 | 风险 |
-|---|---|---|
-| §3.1–§3.6 SessionAwareCache 改造 | 2–3 天 | 中：需要熟悉 radix 内部 lock_ref / evict 协议 |
-| §3.7 schedule_batch 清理 | 0.5 天 | 低：是删代码 |
-| §4 不变量单元测试 | 2 天 | 低 |
-| §5.3 GPU smoke + 数据对比 | 2 天 | 中：mooncake 仍可能触发 E2 级联 death，需要 §S3 修复一并跑 |
-| **总计** | **~1 周** | |
-
-### 6.2 关键风险
-
-1. **`inner.cache_finished_req` 对 streaming-session req 的兼容性**：当前 SGLang 标准 radix 假设 req 在 cache_finished_req 时是 "完整 prefill+decode 完成"。streaming-session 的 req 在每个 turn 结束时还会留下"未完成的 conversation"，要确保 inner 在插入时不会把 decode-only tokens 当成可丢弃尾巴。需要 audit `radix_cache.py:cache_finished_req` 的实现。
-
-2. **lock_ref 顺序**：turn N+1 开始的 `match_prefix` → inc_lock_ref(new_node)，turn N 结束的 dec_lock_ref(old_node)，时序若反了会在并发下让 LRU 把刚 commit 的 leaf 误 evict。建议加 assertion：`dec_lock_ref` 之前 `inc_lock_ref` 必须先到。
-
-3. **chunked-prefill retry**：见 I3。SGLang 当前 `restore_to_req` 不清 slot 字段就是为此 retry。refactor 后必须确认 inner radix `match_prefix` 在 retry 下也幂等（标准 radix tree 是的，但要写测试明确锁住这个性质）。
-
----
-
-## 7. 与 D→P sync 工作的关系
-
-block-level evict 是 [D_TO_P_SYNC_CONTRACT_ZH.md](D_TO_P_SYNC_CONTRACT_ZH.md) 的**前置条件**：
-
-- D→P sync 需要 P 端 radix tree **可接收外部喂入的 KV block**。
-- 当前 P 端 radix 假设单生产者（本 worker 模型输出）。
-- block-level refactor 完成后，streaming-session 的 KV 已经走标准 radix 路径——再让 radix tree 接受"外部喂入"的额外生产者就只是扩展 insert API，而不是发明新的存储路径。
-
-→ 两件事可顺序做：先 block-level evict，再 D→P sync。
-
----
-
-## 8. 接班 agent 的最小动作
-
-1. fork 一个 `feat/block-level-evict` 分支（从 `improve/audit-and-foundations` 或 `h200-cu130`）。
-2. 实现 §3.1–§3.6。
-3. 写 §5.1 + §5.2 单元测试。
-4. 在 8×H100 / H200 上跑 §5.3 smoke，对比 evict 频次和 TTFT p99。
-5. 若 §6.2 风险 1 成立，进 SGLang `radix_cache.py` 看是否需要给 streaming-session req 加 `is_session_active=True` flag 阻止"丢弃 decode 尾"。
-
----
-
-**核心句**：把 session 当 lifecycle 边界（保留），但**不要**让它做 eviction 边界（移交给 radix LRU）。这次 refactor 同时解决"reseed 太频繁"和"P 端 radix 不可外部喂入"两个 blocker。

+
+KVC has 73 direct-to-D fast-path requests with TTFT mean **0.185s** — the unique KVC value prop is realized.
+
+---
+
+## 3. The big architectural lesson
+
+E4's p99 tail (n=65 reqs ≥ 180s TTFT) breakdown:
+- **0% direct-to-D** (fast path never sees p99)
+- **5% reseed** (D→P target — only 3 reqs)
+- **88% fallback chain** (real culprit, dominated by `large-append-session-cap` 43%)
+
+Implication: D→P snapshot, even when fully working, addresses **at most 5% of p99 tail**. The real p99 cost is in `_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router` and various `fallback-real-large-append-*` paths, which involve agentic-side admission RPC retries + seeded-router cold starts, *not* the P re-prefill that D→P was designed to eliminate.
+
+**This finding redirects the optimization focus from D→P (which I built) to fallback-path consolidation (which I did not).**
+
+---
+
+## 4. What's pending / known issues
+
+- E4-v3 ran with `--enable-d-to-p-sync` flag, but cli plumbing bug meant D→P didn't actually fire. Fix in `af966f2`. E4-v4 should validate end-to-end (running at time of writing).
+- E4 success rate -5pp vs E1 (87.9% vs 93.4%). Failures concentrated in agentic-side timeouts on `pd-router-real-large-append` paths. Not a D→P issue.
+- D→P snapshot active mode (push at append-completion, vs current passive mode triggered on reseed) was not built. Per design doc §2.5, this could be next phase.
+- `pd-router-fallback-real-large-append-session-cap` (43% of p99 tail) is the highest-leverage future optimization target.

+
+## 2. 验证状态
+
+### 2.1 Phase 1（底层 RDMA 链路）
+
+✅ **VERIFIED**
+
+- Smoke `scripts/smoke_snapshot_link.py`：host CPU 内存，5/5 size 全 SHA 校验通过，64 MB 316 Gbps
+- Smoke `scripts/smoke_snapshot_link_gpu.py`：cuda:0 → cuda:1，5/5 size 通过，256 MB 251 Gbps
+
+### 2.2 Phase 2（SGLang scheduler 集成）
+
+✅ **VERIFIED at RPC level**
+
+Smoke `scripts/smoke_snapshot_sglang_integration.py` 启动 P + D 两个 SGLang worker：
+
+- `POST /_snapshot/prepare_receive` on P → 200 OK，返回 96 layer base ptrs + slot indices + strides
+- `POST /_snapshot/dump` on D → 200，返回 `ok=false, reason="session-not-resident"`（正确，session 不存在）
+- `POST /_snapshot/finalize_ingest` on P → 200 OK，inserted_prefix_len 字段正确
+
+**Scheduler 不崩**（修了 leak check 后）。证明：
+- env-var driven controller startup 工作
+- mooncake engine 共存（PD pipeline 用一个，snapshot 用一个独立的）
+- 3 个 ReqInput/Output dispatch 全通
+- HTTP → tokenizer → ZMQ → scheduler 链路畅通
+
+### 2.3 Phase 3（agentic orchestration + reseed wire-up）
+
+⏳ **IN-FLIGHT**（E4 sweep 跑着）
+
+`_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 在 `_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router` 中被调用，按设计文档 §2 的三阶段协议运行。Phase 3 的端到端验收靠 E4 实验数据。
+
+---
+
+## 3. 未覆盖范围（**重要**）
+
+下面这些场景**还没有验证**，是 E4 实验之外的 follow-up 工作：
+
+| 范围 | 状态 | 风险 |
+|---|---|---|
+| **D-side 真实 session KV 字节对齐** | unverified | D 把 SessionSlot 里的 KV slot indices 翻译成 RDMA src 地址，layer-by-layer 排列。逻辑可能有 off-by-one 或 layer 顺序错误。若错，P 端的 radix insert 是正确的 indices 但底下的 KV 内容损坏 → 模型输出乱码。这只能靠端到端测试发现。 |
+| **跨节点（remote IP）的 mooncake transfer** | unverified | mlx5_60 单节点 loopback 是当前 setup。跨节点 GID 路径 / route table / firewall 都可能不同。 |
+| **多 D → 单 P 的 slot 协调** | unverified | 多个 D worker 同时往同一个 P 推不同 session 的 KV，是否冲突？当前每次 prepare_receive 都从 P 的 kv_pool alloc，应当不冲突，但需 stress test。 |
+| **token_id 一致性** | partial | 我们用 `request.input_token_ids` 作为 radix 插入的 key。如果该字段 stale 或 mis-aligned，radix 插入的 key 与真实 KV 不对应。E4 跑出垃圾输出就是这个症状。 |
+| **D-side 的 KV 在 prepare_receive 到 dump 之间被 evict** | unverified | 没有 lock_ref / pin 机制保护 D 端的 session slot。在并发负载下 D 可能 LRU 驱逐这个 session，导致 dump 失败或推空数据。fallback 路径会兜底但浪费一次 RPC。 |
+| **chunked prefill 与 snapshot bypass 的交互** | unverified | 若 P 当前正在 chunked-prefill 这个 session，prepare_receive + finalize_ingest 与 chunked context 的关系未测试。 |
+
+---
+
+## 4. 端到端实验 E4 当前进展
+
+跑着，结果汇总见 `docs/E4_RESULTS_ZH.md`（实验跑完后写）。
+
+---
+
+## 5. 给下一个接班 agent 的建议
+
+如果你接手时 E4 已跑完且看出问题，按这个排查顺序：
+
+1. **看 D-side dump 的失败原因 top**：grep "d_to_p_sync sid=.*status=" 看 prepare/dump/finalize 哪一步挂得多
+2. **如果 dump 大量返回 `session-not-resident`**：说明 reseed 触发时 D-side session 已经被 evict。这是预期的，但需要看占比。如果 > 50%，考虑在 D-side 给 SessionSlot 加 pinning 或在 agentic 端先检查 admit_direct_append 的 status 再决定是否走 D→P。
+3. **如果 dump ok 但模型输出乱码**：byte-level KV layout 在 D/P 间有不一致。读 `third_party/sglang/python/sglang/srt/disaggregation/snapshot/controller.py::push_session_kv` 的 (src, dst, len) 三元组计算，按 `kv_pool.get_contiguous_buf_infos()` 的 K-then-V 顺序 cross check。
+4. **如果一切 ok 但 TTFT 仍未改善**：D→P 没真触发 fast path。check P-side radix tree 插入后是否真被下一次 prefill 命中。看 `cached_tokens` 字段。如果 cached_tokens 在 reseed mode 上是 0，说明 radix insert 的 token_ids 不匹配后续 prefill 的 prompt。
+5. **若你想做 ablation**：保留 `--enable-d-to-p-sync` 但人为在 `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` return None。这把 hot path 关掉但保留控制平面 → 隔离纯 D→P 的边际效益。

+# D→P Phase 1：底层 RDMA 链路（已验收）
+
+**日期**：2026-05-13
+**状态**：底层链路通过 smoke test 验收
+**前置**：`docs/D_TO_P_SYNC_DESIGN_ZH.md`
+**对应 commit**：`feat(snapshot): D→P snapshot link over mooncake RDMA`
+
+---
+
+## 0. 一句话
+
+实现一个独立于 SGLang `MooncakeKVManager` 的**最小 RDMA 字节传输模块**（`src/agentic_pd_hybrid/snapshot_link.py`），双进程 smoke test 跑通 1 KB → 64 MB 一共 5 个 size，全部 SHA 校验通过，64 MB 单次 RDMA write 实测 315 Gbps（mlx5_60 NDR 400 Gb 的约 80%）。
+
+## 1. 设计动机
+
+`docs/D_TO_P_SYNC_DESIGN_ZH.md` 选定 Option C（D→P snapshot push + P SessionSlot + prefill bypass）。这个方案的最底层依赖是"D 进程能把字节通过 RDMA 推到 P 进程的预注册缓冲区"。
+
+直接复用 SGLang 的 `MooncakeKVManager` 不可行：
+- `add_transfer_request` 在 `conn.py:1563` 硬 assert `disaggregation_mode == PREFILL`
+- PD pipeline 的发送 / 接收 thread / queue / staging 紧耦合 PD 角色
+- 改 PD 路径风险大（影响现有 E1/E2/E3 配置）
+
+因此把 D→P link 单独写成一个轻量模块，直接调 `mooncake.engine.TransferEngine` 的 `transfer_sync_write` / `batch_transfer_sync_write`，不经过 PD pipeline。
+
+## 2. 实现
+
+### 2.1 `snapshot_link.SnapshotPeer`
+
+```python
+peer = SnapshotPeer(host, port, ib_device, receive_capacity_bytes)
+endpoint = peer.endpoint   # SnapshotEndpoint(session_id, base_ptr, capacity_bytes)
+peer.register_send_buffer(ptr, length)
+peer.push(target_endpoint, local_ptr, local_off, length, remote_off=0)
+peer.batch_push(target, local_addrs, remote_addrs, lengths)
+peer.read_bytes(offset, length) -> bytes
+peer.close()
+```
+
+- 每个 `SnapshotPeer` 拥有自己的 `TransferEngine`，绑定 `host:port`
+- `receive_capacity_bytes > 0` 时分配一段 ctypes `c_ubyte` 数组 + `register_memory`
+- `push` 直接走 `engine.transfer_sync_write(peer_session_id, local_ptr, remote_ptr, length)`
+- 角色完全对称——任何 `SnapshotPeer` 既可以发送也可以接收，由 caller 决定
+
+### 2.2 Smoke test 双进程结构

+
+### 2.3 性能（首次 smoke run）
+
+| Size | Push duration | Throughput |
+|---:|---:|---:|
+| 1 KB | 9.0 ms | 0.001 Gbps |
+| 16 KB | 0.037 ms | 3.5 Gbps |
+| 1 MB | 0.102 ms | 82 Gbps |
+| 16 MB | 0.577 ms | 232 Gbps |
+| **64 MB** | **1.70 ms** | **316 Gbps** |
+
+- 1 KB 第一次有 ~9 ms 的 mooncake p2p handshake/openSegment overhead（一次性）
+- 16 KB 之后是稳态，吞吐随 size 增长接近线速
+- mlx5_60 是 mlx5 ConnectX-7 NDR 400 Gb（4× 100Gb lanes）；64 MB 测到 316 Gbps 是 79% 的链路利用率，对单次 RDMA write 来说正常（剩余空间留给 verb dispatch / completion handling overhead）
+
+## 3. 验收
+
+- ✅ 5/5 size SHA 校验全部通过
+- ✅ 64 MB 一次 RDMA 1.7 ms
+- ✅ 双进程独立，不耦合 SGLang PD pipeline
+- ✅ Smoke test 脚本 `scripts/smoke_snapshot_link.py` 可重跑
+
+## 4. 当前覆盖范围（清单）
+
+- ✅ Host CPU 内存的 D→P RDMA byte transfer (`scripts/smoke_snapshot_link.py`)
+- ✅ **GPU 内存** cuda:0 → cuda:1 的 D→P RDMA（`scripts/smoke_snapshot_link_gpu.py`，5/5 size 全 SHA 校验通过，256 MB 8.5 ms / 251 Gbps）
+- ✅ 单 IB device (mlx5_60)
+- ✅ 同节点 loopback（127.0.0.1）
+- ⏳ 跨节点（远端 IP）—— 设计上一致，未验证
+- ⏳ 多 D → 单 P（多 sender → 共享 recv buffer 的 offset 协调）—— 留给 Phase 3 整合时设计
+- ⏳ ZeroCopy 入 SGLang kv_pool slot —— 留给 Phase 2/3
+
+### GPU smoke 性能
+
+| Size | Push duration | Throughput |
+|---:|---:|---:|
+| 16 KB | 8.27 ms (cold) | 0.016 Gbps |
+| 1 MB | 0.096 ms | 87.6 Gbps |
+| 16 MB | 0.844 ms | 159 Gbps |
+| 64 MB | 2.52 ms | 213 Gbps |
+| **256 MB** | **8.54 ms** | **251 Gbps** |
+
+GPU↔GPU 比 host↔host 慢一些（251 vs 316 Gbps for 64MB），但仍接近 mlx5_60 NDR 400Gb 的 60% 线率。对 KVC 单 session ~50K tokens × ~80 KB/token ≈ 4 GB 量级的 transfer，对应 D→P 时间约 130 ms。
+
+## 5. 下一步（Phase 2 / Phase 3）
+
+详见 `docs/D_TO_P_SYNC_DESIGN_ZH.md` §5。本 phase 1 解锁后，整个 D→P 同步可以正式开始整合到 SGLang scheduler：
+
+| Phase | 描述 | 风险 |
+|---|---|---|
+| 2 | D-side commit hook：`cache_finished_req` 完成后 enqueue snapshot push | 中。需要在 scheduler 后台线程跑 push，不能阻塞 schedule loop |
+| 3 | P-side snapshot store + prefill bypass：P scheduler 收到 use-snapshot 请求时跳过 `model.forward()`，直接用 snapshot KV 触发 P→D' transfer | **最高**。需要深入 SGLang prefill 流程 |
+| 4 | agentic-pd-hybrid hook：`_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router` 先 probe P → 决定走 bypass 还是 fallback | 低 |
+| 5 | CLI flag + structural log | 低 |
+| 6 | 端到端 smoke + E4 sweep | 中 |
+
+## 6. 知识沉淀
+
+### 易踩坑
+
+| 坑 | 原因 | 修法 |
+|---|---|---|
+| 多进程 `multiprocessing.Process` 子进程崩溃信息丢失 | spawn context 下 child 没有继承 parent 的 stderr | 改用 `subprocess.Popen` + stderr 重定向到文件 |
+| `bytes(ctypes.c_byte * N)` 失败 `ValueError: bytes must be in range(0, 256)` | `c_byte` 是 **signed**，>= 128 的 byte 在 Python 看就是负数 | 用 `c_ubyte` 或 `ctypes.string_at(addr, length)` 做内存复制 |
+| 第一次 push 有 ~9ms openSegment overhead | mooncake p2p handshake lazy 建链 | 稳态忽略；如需 warm-up，提前发 1 KB pre-flight |
+
+### mooncake API 速查
+
+```python
+engine = TransferEngine()
+engine.initialize(f"{host}:{port}", "P2PHANDSHAKE", "rdma", ib_device)
+engine.register_memory(ptr, length)           # mr 注册
+engine.transfer_sync_write(peer_session_id, local_ptr, remote_ptr, length)  # RDMA write
+engine.batch_transfer_sync_write(peer_session_id, [local_ptrs], [remote_ptrs], [lengths])
+engine.unregister_memory(ptr)
+```
+
+`peer_session_id` 是 `"host:rpc_port"`，其中 `rpc_port = peer_engine.get_rpc_port()`。
+
+---
+
+**核心句**：D→P 底层 RDMA 链路独立模块跑通，64 MB 1.7 ms / 316 Gbps，与 SGLang PD pipeline 完全解耦。Phase 2/3 可以放心在这上面叠加。

-# D→P 增量 KV 同步 — 接口契约与 rollout 计划
-
-**日期**：2026-05-12
-**前置**：[RESEED_SLOW_PATH_AND_D_TO_P_GAP_ZH.md](RESEED_SLOW_PATH_AND_D_TO_P_GAP_ZH.md)（缺口定位）+ [BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md](BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md)（前置条件）
-**性质**：跨层接口契约 + staleness budget 形式化 + 分阶段 rollout
-**Status**：草案。`feat/d-to-p-sync` 分支当前为空，本文是该分支应当首先 land 的设计文档
-
----
-
-## 0. TL;DR
-
-reseed 慢路径的 50% 时间在 P 重 prefill，**修复 transfer 段（启 RDMA）只能解一半**。彻底消除长尾的唯一办法是让 P 端 backup 增量跟上 D 端的 append：
-
-> D 在 direct-to-D 路径上完成一个 turn → 异步把新 commit 的 KV block 推回 P 端 radix → 下次 reseed 时 P 端 radix 命中完整 prefix，无需 re-prefill，仅一次 P→D transfer。
-
-本文给出三层（mooncake / SGLang / agentic-pd-hybrid）的接口契约、一个 **staleness budget β** 的形式化定义，以及四阶段 rollout 计划，让该工作可以与 block-level eviction 解耦推进。
-
----
-
-## 1. Staleness Budget β —— 形式化定义
-
-设 D 上 session `s` 的 committed prefix 长度为 `L_D(s, t)`（time `t` 的瞬时值），P 上同 session 的 backup prefix 长度为 `L_P(s, t)`。
-
-```
-staleness(s, t) := L_D(s, t) - L_P(s, t)   ≥ 0
-```
-
-**Staleness budget β** 是系统承诺维持的上界：
-
-```
-∀ s, ∀ t :  staleness(s, t) ≤ β
-```
-
-直观：β 越小 → reseed 命中 P 端 backup 的可能越高 → reseed 退化为单次 P→D transfer + ≤ β tokens 的 re-prefill。
-
-- **β = 0**：完全同步（D 每 commit 一块就阻塞等 P ack）。延迟成本高，不推荐。
-- **β = ∞**：当前状态（P 端 backup 永远 seed-time 静态快照）。
-- **β = 一个 page（24 tokens）**：单 block sync。理论最优粒度，但 D 端每次 append 都触发一次 D→P RPC。
-- **β = O(append_len)（典型 1K–4K）**：批量 sync。推荐起点，把同 turn 的 decode 输出聚合后整批推送。
-- **β = O(turn_size)（典型 ~50K）**：粗粒度 sync。失效 reseed bypass，仅减少 transfer。不可取。
-
-→ rollout 推荐 β = `max(page_size, min(committed_in_turn, β_max))`，`β_max` 默认 4096。
-
----
-
-## 2. 三层接口契约
-
-### 2.1 Mooncake 层：双角色化
-
-**当前状态**（详见 [RESEED_SLOW_PATH_AND_D_TO_P_GAP_ZH.md](RESEED_SLOW_PATH_AND_D_TO_P_GAP_ZH.md) §3）：
-
-- `MooncakeKVManager` 在初始化时按 `disaggregation_mode ∈ {PREFILL, DECODE}` 强角色化。
-- `MooncakeKVSender` 仅在 PREFILL 模式实例化，`MooncakeKVReceiver` 仅在 DECODE 模式实例化。
-- `add_transfer_request` 含硬约束 `assert disaggregation_mode == PREFILL`。
-
-**目标接口**：
-
-```python
-# third_party/sglang/python/sglang/srt/disaggregation/base/conn.py
-class BaseKVManager:
-    roles: set[KVRole]   # 替换原单值字段，允许 {PREFILL, DECODE}
-
-class KVRole(Enum):
-    PREFILL = "prefill"
-    DECODE = "decode"
-    PREFILL_BACKUP_RECEIVER = "prefill_backup_receiver"   # 新：P 端接收 D→P sync
-    DECODE_BACKUP_SENDER = "decode_backup_sender"         # 新：D 端发送 D→P sync
-```
-
-**新增类**（实现层 ~400 LOC）：
-
-| 类 | 角色 | 关键方法 |
-|---|---|---|
-| `DecodeKVSender` | D 端把 append 后的新 KV block 推回 P | `enqueue_sync(session_id, kv_blocks, target_p)` 异步入队，返回 `sync_id` |
-| `PrefillKVReceiver` | P 端接收 D→P sync 包 | `recv_loop()` 后台线程；每个包触发 callback 注入 radix tree |
-
-**Bootstrap channel**：需要独立于现有 P→D 通道的第二个 bootstrap socket（避免 buffer pointer 协商冲突）。配置：
-- 默认 disable，由 ServerArgs flag `--enable-d2p-sync` 开启
-- 新增 port range `BOOTSTRAP_D2P_PORT_BASE = 22000`
-
-### 2.2 SGLang 层：Radix 多生产者扩展
-
-**当前状态**：P 端 radix 假设单生产者（本 worker 模型输出）。`RadixCache.cache_finished_req` 内部直接从 `req_to_token_pool[req_pool_idx, :]` 取 KV indices 插入树。
-
-**目标接口**（在 [BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md](BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md) 完成之后）：
-
-```python
-class RadixCache(BasePrefixCache):
-    def insert_external(
-        self,
-        token_ids: Sequence[int],
-        kv_tensor: torch.Tensor,
-        *,
-        source_worker_id: str,
-        session_id: str,
-    ) -> InsertExternalResult:
-        """
-        Insert KV blocks supplied by an external worker (D→P sync).
-
-        Allocates fresh slots in token_to_kv_pool, copies kv_tensor into them,
-        and threads the resulting indices through the radix tree exactly like
-        cache_finished_req would for a local prefill.
-
-        Invariants:
-            - Same model layout (verified at handshake time, not per-call).
-            - On collision with existing radix path, no-op for the shared prefix
-              and only insert the diverging suffix.
-            - Inserted nodes get lock_ref += 1 if `pin=True`, default False.
-              D→P sync is best-effort; LRU is allowed to evict the inserted leaves.
-        """
-```
-
-**关键设计点**：
-
-| 决策 | 选项 | 推荐 |
-|---|---|---|
-| KV index 重映射 | A) D 发原 indices, P 重映射；B) D 发紧密打包的 tensor，P 重新分配 | **B**：避免跨 worker 索引泄漏 |
-| 失败处理 | A) D→P 失败 → 退化为重 prefill；B) 重试 N 次 | **A** + 后续 reseed 时若 P 未命中走旧路径 |
-| Reference counting | sync 进 P 的 KV 是否被 pin？ | **不 pin**：P 端 LRU 自然管理，避免 backup 把生产 KV 挤出 |
-| 与 evict 协调 | sync 来到时 P 满怎么办？ | 让 sync insert 触发 inner.evict → 与本地生产 KV 公平 LRU 竞争 |
-| 同 session 多 P 实例 | router round-robin 把 turn 派到不同 P 怎么办？ | **接受 multi-source**：每个 P 维护自己的 backup；reseed 时挑 staleness 最小者 |
-
-### 2.3 agentic-pd-hybrid 层：Hooks 与状态机
-
-**新增 CLI flag**：
-
-```bash
---enable-d2p-sync                     # off by default
---d2p-staleness-budget-tokens 4096    # β_max
---d2p-sync-batch-min-tokens 24        # 至少 ≥ 1 page 才触发
---d2p-sync-target-policy {last_p, round_robin, broadcast}
-                                      # last_p: 推回该 session 上次 seed 的 P
-                                      # broadcast: 推到所有 P（reseed 时灵活但带宽大）
-```
-
-**新增 state 字段**（`replay.py` 的 `DirectSessionState`）：
-
-```python
-@dataclass
-class DirectSessionState:
-    ...
-    # NEW: per-P backup view, populated by D->P sync callbacks.
-    prefill_resident_tokens_by_p: dict[str, int] = field(default_factory=dict)
-    last_d2p_sync_at: float | None = None
-```
-
-**Hook 在 `_invoke_session_direct` 完成后**：
-
-```python
-async def _invoke_session_direct(...):
-    ...
-    response = await self._stream_direct_to_d(...)
-    if response.ok and self.config.enable_d2p_sync:
-        new_committed = response.kv_committed_len
-        prev_p_resident = max(session.prefill_resident_tokens_by_p.values(), default=0)
-        staleness = new_committed - prev_p_resident
-        if staleness >= self.config.d2p_sync_batch_min_tokens:
-            target_p = self._choose_d2p_target(session)
-            asyncio.create_task(
-                self._issue_d2p_sync(session, target_p, prev_p_resident, new_committed)
-            )
-```
-
-**Hook 在 reseed 路径**（`_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router`）：
-
-```python
-async def _invoke_kvcache_seeded_router(..., request):
-    ...
-    if self.config.enable_d2p_sync:
-        # Probe P-side residency before issuing full re-prefill.
-        probe = await self._probe_prefill_residency(session_id)
-        if probe.resident_tokens >= request.prefix_len - β_max:
-            # Use the up-to-date backup: skip re-prefill, just trigger P→D transfer.
-            return await self._invoke_p_to_d_transfer_only(...)
-    # Fall back to existing path.
-    return await self._invoke_kvcache_seeded_router_legacy(...)
-```
-
----
-
-## 3. 性质（待证明）
-
-### 3.1 Theorem 4 候选（论文形式）
-
-*设 staleness budget β 维持成立。对一个 session `s` 在 D 上累积长度 L、被 evict 后 reseed 触发：*
-
-```
-reseed_cost(s) ≤ T_p2d(L) + T_prefill(min(β, L))
-```
-
-*其中 T_p2d 是 P→D transfer 时间（在 RDMA 下 ~L · 4 ns/token），T_prefill 是 prefill 时间（在 H100 TP1 Qwen3-30B 下 ~50K tokens/s）。当 β ≪ L 时退化为 single P→D transfer 主导。*
-
-**对比 baseline**（无 D→P sync）：`reseed_cost = T_p2d(L) + T_prefill(L − seed_size)`，re-prefill 占主导。
-
-### 3.2 与 Theorem 2 的关系
-
-Theorem 2 只保证 direct-to-D 路径的快速命中。Theorem 4 把"fast path miss 时的 fallback cost"也压低到次秒级，使 KVC 在**全分位数**击败 DP 成为可能。
-
----
-
-## 4. 四阶段 Rollout
-
-| Phase | 范围 | GPU 需求 | 验收指标 |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| **P1** | block-level eviction refactor（[BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md](BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md)） | 4×H100 smoke | evict 单次平均 ≤ 500 tokens |
-| **P2** | mooncake 双角色化 + microbench（D→P 单包 RTT、带宽利用） | 单机 + RDMA | P→D RTT < 50ms（local），单 16K-token block 带宽 ≥ 50% 理论上限 |
-| **P3** | SGLang `insert_external` + agentic-pd-hybrid hook（仅 best-effort，无 reseed probe） | 4×H100 + RDMA | sync 触发率 > 80% 同 turn 内完成；不引入新 failure mode |
-| **P4** | reseed probe 接通 + 端到端 evaluation | 4×H100 + RDMA | reseed 单次 < 0.5s（vs 当前 3–7s），TTFT p99 < 0.5s |
-
-**关键决策点**：P1 → P2 之间需要走 audit，确认 SGLang radix `insert_external` 不会与 streaming-session decode 路径冲突。若发现严重冲突，引入 "P-only sync mode" 占位，等架构稳定再放开。
-
----
-
-## 5. 风险与对策
-
-| 风险 | 影响 | 对策 |

-## 6. 与 block-level eviction 的解耦关系
-
-| 工作 | 是否依赖另一个 |
-|---|---|
-| block-level eviction | 不依赖 D→P sync，可独立交付。能单独降低 reseed 频次 |
-| D→P sync | **依赖** block-level eviction：需要 P 端 radix 是 streaming session KV 的真值源 |
-| 一起做 | 收益最大：reseed 频次降一个数量级 + 单次 reseed 时间降一个数量级 |
-
-→ rollout 顺序：block-level eviction 先 land，D→P sync 随后开 `feat/d-to-p-sync` 推进。两者**不应**合在一个 PR 里。
-
----
-
-## 7. 接班 agent 的最小动作
-
-1. 在 `feat/d-to-p-sync` 分支上 land 本文。
-2. 等 block-level eviction 进 main 后，开 P2 阶段：mooncake 双角色化 + microbench（单测，无 SGLang 主路径耦合）。
-3. P3 阶段加 `insert_external` 与 hook；以 disabled-by-default 进 main。
-4. P4 端到端 evaluation 后再判断 reseed probe policy（`last_p` vs `broadcast`）。
-
----
-
-**核心句**：D→P 增量同步不是"再加一条网络通道"那么简单，关键是把 P 端 radix 从单生产者扩展到允许 best-effort 外部喂入。Block-level eviction 是这件事的前置条件——所以两件工作可以一前一后，不能颠倒。

+# D→P KV 反向推送设计
+
+**日期**：2026-05-12
+**分支**：`h200-cu130`（在此分支上做，后续 cherry-pick 到 `feat/d-to-p-sync` 备用）
+**目标**：让 reseed 路径绕过 P 端 re-prefill，把 reseed 总耗时从 3-7s 压到接近一次 RDMA P→D' 传输（~200-400ms）
+**前置**：`docs/RESEED_SLOW_PATH_AND_D_TO_P_GAP_ZH.md`（reseed 现状），`docs/KVC_EVICTION_GRANULARITY_DESIGN_ZH.md`（架构层背景）
+
+---
+
+## 0. TL;DR
+
+1. **现状**：v2 reseed 路径 = P open session + P 完整 re-prefill（~1.5-3s）+ P→D' mooncake transfer（~200-400ms RDMA）。`re-prefill` 段是 KVC TTFT p99 的主体。
+2. **目标**：D 在 direct-to-D append 完成后异步把新 KV 增量推回 P。reseed 触发时 P 已经有 fresh snapshot → 跳过 model.forward()、直接复用 KV 做 P→D' 传输。
+3. **决策**：选 Option C —— **D→P snapshot 按 append-completion 推送，P 端用独立 PrefillSnapshotStore 存储（不进 radix tree），prefill 在有 snapshot 时 bypass 计算只触发传输**。
+4. **拒绝的 alternatives**：A（让 P radix tree 接受多生产者写入，§4.3 工程灾难）、B（D→D' 直推，绕过 P，但 mooncake 无 D-Sender 角色 + session-not-resident 场景失败）、D（仅 eviction 时推，async 来不及 + sync 拖死 eviction）。
+5. **工程量**：~600 LOC，拆 6-8 commit。最难的是 mooncake 双角色化的 thread-safety 和 P 端 prefill bypass 的调度器 hook。
+6. **必须 RDMA**：所有传输走 mooncake batch_transfer，不允许 TCP fallback。
+
+---
+
+## 1. 决策依据
+
+### Option A — P radix tree 多生产者写入（拒绝）
+
+让 P 端 RadixCache 接受 D 喂来的 KV 块，融入 prefix tree。
+
+**为何拒绝**：
+
+- SGLang radix tree 假设单生产者（本 worker 的 model 输出）。改动涉及节点写入路径、引用计数、跨 worker 数据格式、eviction policy 协调。
+- 工程量 ~1-2 周，且是侵入式改动，长期维护成本高。
+- 与 vendor 上游 diff 太大，未来 rebase 风险高。
+
+### Option B — D→D' 直推（拒绝）
+
+migration 时 D_old 把 KV 直接发到 D_new，绕过 P。
+
+**为何拒绝**：
+
+- 触发条件 `session-not-resident` 时 KV 已 free，D_old 拿不到任何数据可推。
+- mooncake DECODE 模式当前只有 receiver 角色（`assert disaggregation_mode == PREFILL` at conn.py:1563）；新增 D-Sender 角色与 P-Receiver 角色对偶，工程量与 Option C 相当但**只 cover 部分场景**。
+- D→D' 控制平面需要额外协调（"哪个 D 当前持有 session"），增加路由复杂度。
+
+### Option C — D→P snapshot + P SessionSlot + prefill bypass（**选定**）
+
+D 在 append-completion 时异步把整个 session 当前 KV 镜像推到 P；P 用一个独立的 `PrefillSnapshotStore` 存（不进 radix tree）；reseed 时 P 跳过 model.forward()，直接用 snapshot 触发 P→D' 传输。
+
+**为何选它**：
+
+1. **P 端不动 radix tree**——SnapshotStore 是侧表，无 multi-producer 问题
+2. **mooncake 改动局部化**——只放开 `add_transfer_request` 的 PREFILL assertion + 在 DECODE 模式启动一个独立 snapshot transfer 线程
+3. **可以分阶段验证**——D→P 推 → P 收到 → P 存 → P 用，每一步可独立 smoke test
+4. **failure semantics 干净**——snapshot 缺失就 fallback 到现有 re-prefill 路径，零回退风险
+5. **跨 P 的扩展简单**——P-Receiver 状态在 P 上，多 P 时各管各的 session
+
+### Option D — 仅 eviction 时推（拒绝）
+
+D 在驱逐 session 之前推一次 KV 到 P，平时不推。
+
+**为何拒绝**：
+
+- async 推送：reseed 触发时（下一 turn 到达）可能 push 还没到 P 完。需要 reseed path 等 push 完成 → 把延迟成本只是搬家。
+- sync 推送：让 eviction 等 mooncake transfer 完，**当前 incoming request（触发 eviction 的那个）** 直接被拖死 1-3s。比当前 reseed 还差。
+- 不能 cover 非 eviction 触发的 reseed（如 migration、admission-no-d-capacity）。

+
+```
+t=0     turn N 到 D，走 direct-to-D append-prefill
+t=T1    direct append 完成，scheduler 调 cache_finished_req
+        SessionAwareCache.cache_finished_req 把 KV 写回 SessionSlot
+        (此时 KV 全在 D 的 kv_pool 里，slot 持锁)
+t=T1+ε  D-side hook: on_session_step_committed(sid, slot)
+        计算 delta = slot.kv_committed_len - last_pushed_seqlen[sid]
+        if delta >= K_DELTA (默认 1024 tokens): 入队 SnapshotSendQueue
+t=T1+δ  snapshot_sender 线程取出 entry → mooncake batch_transfer
+        把 kv_pool[slot.req_pool_idx, 0:kv_committed_len] 推到 P
+t=T1+δ' P-side mooncake receive callback 触发
+        P 在 kv_pool 预分配 slots → 写入 → 更新 SnapshotStore[sid]
+t=T2    P 标记 snapshot 可用，更新 last_recv_time
+```
+
+**关键约束**：D→P push 与 D 自己的 decode/append 在不同 thread/stream，必须保证 KV 在传输期间不被 evict。
+- 复用 SessionSlot 的 lock_ref 机制：snapshot_sender 在传输期间 hold lock，传输完后 dec_lock。
+- 如果 session 在传输期间被 release_session 调用，snapshot 应该 abort（数据不一致）。
+
+### 3.2 Reseed 触发 + P 走 bypass 路径
+
+```
+t=0      turn N+M 到达，KvAwarePolicy 选 D'，但 admit 拒绝（capacity / not-resident）
+t=10ms   replay.py 进入 _invoke_kvcache_seeded_router
+t=15ms   probe: GET p/v1/sessions/{sid}/snapshot_status -> {seqlen: 50080, fresh: true}
+t=20ms   replay: 50080 >= request.input_length (49800)，触发 bypass 路径
+t=25ms   open D' streaming session (HTTP)
+t=30ms   open P streaming session, set x-prefill-use-snapshot header
+t=40ms   forward request to SGLang pd-router → P
+t=45ms   P scheduler 看到 use-snapshot 标记

+         → 直接复用 SnapshotEntry.kv_indices 给 mooncake KVSender
+t=50ms   mooncake P→D' RDMA transfer 启动
+t=300ms  P→D' 完成，D' 上 session 重建
+t=305ms  D' 开始 decode
+t=350ms  first token 出来 → TTFT
+```
+
+**收益对照**：
+| 段 | 当前 reseed | bypass 后 |

+
+## 4. 接口和数据结构
+
+### 4.1 Mooncake 双角色
+
+**Change**: `MooncakeKVManager.__init__` 在 DECODE 模式下**额外**启动 snapshot sender 基础设施（独立 transfer_queues + thread pool）。
+
+```python
+# In MooncakeKVManager.__init__, after start_decode_thread() in DECODE mode:
+if envs.SGLANG_DTOP_SNAPSHOT_ENABLED.get():
+    self._init_snapshot_sender()  # new
+
+def _init_snapshot_sender(self):
+    self.snapshot_send_queue: FastQueue = FastQueue()
+    self.snapshot_executor = ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=2)
+    threading.Thread(
+        target=self._snapshot_send_worker,
+        daemon=True,
+    ).start()
+```
+
+**Change**: 删除 `add_transfer_request` 的 `assert PREFILL`，改为按 caller 路径分发：
+- `add_transfer_request` —— prefill 用，保持现状
+- `add_snapshot_transfer_request` —— 新增，decode 用
+
+### 4.2 新 class：DecodeKVSnapshotSender
+
+```python
+class DecodeKVSnapshotSender:
+    """Sender on D for pushing session KV snapshot back to P."""
+    def __init__(self, mgr: MooncakeKVManager, target_p_addr: str,
+                 target_p_bootstrap_room: int, session_id: str):
+        ...
+
+    def send(self, kv_indices: npt.NDArray[np.int32],
+             kv_committed_len: int, aux_blob: bytes) -> None:
+        """Enqueue snapshot for async push. Non-blocking."""
+
+    def poll(self) -> KVPoll: ...
+```
+
+### 4.3 P 端 PrefillSnapshotStore + Receiver
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class SnapshotEntry:
+    session_id: str
+    req_pool_idx: int
+    kv_indices: torch.Tensor   # device indices into kv_pool
+    kv_committed_len: int
+    aux_blob: bytes
+    last_recv_time: float
+
+
+class PrefillSnapshotStore:
+    """Side-table on P: session_id -> SnapshotEntry. NOT in radix tree."""
+    def __init__(self, kv_pool_allocator, req_to_token_pool, max_sessions: int = 8):
+        self.entries: dict[str, SnapshotEntry] = {}
+        self.max_sessions = max_sessions
+        ...
+
+    def ingest(self, session_id: str, kv_data: torch.Tensor,
+               kv_committed_len: int, aux_blob: bytes) -> None:
+        """Allocate slots, copy KV in, register entry. LRU-evicts when full."""
+
+    def lookup(self, session_id: str) -> Optional[SnapshotEntry]: ...
+
+    def release(self, session_id: str) -> None:
+        """Free the slots + remove entry."""
+```
+
+### 4.4 P-side prefill bypass 调度器 hook
+
+**Change**: `scheduler.py` 在 `handle_generate_request` 入口处检查 `x-prefill-use-snapshot` header / `session_params.use_snapshot=True`：
+
+```python
+if snapshot_requested and self._snapshot_store.has(session_id):
+    entry = self._snapshot_store.lookup(session_id)
+    if entry.kv_committed_len >= len(input_ids) - K_TAIL_TOLERANCE:
+        return self._bypass_prefill_with_snapshot(req, entry)
+# else: normal prefill
+```
+
+`_bypass_prefill_with_snapshot` 把 entry 的 kv_indices 作为 prefix_indices 喂给 mooncake sender 启动 P→D' 传输，完全跳过 model.forward()。
+
+### 4.5 D 端 commit hook
+
+**Change**: `scheduler.py` 在 `handle_finish_request` /  `cache_finished_req` 完成后调用：
+
+```python
+if (self._enable_d_to_p_sync and req.session and req.session.streaming
+        and self._has_p_snapshot_target(req.session.session_id)):
+    self._maybe_enqueue_snapshot_push(req.session.session_id)
+```
+
+`_maybe_enqueue_snapshot_push` 检查 delta，符合阈值就 enqueue 到 snapshot_send_queue。
+
+### 4.6 HTTP endpoints (P)
+
+```
+GET  /v1/sessions/{sid}/snapshot_status
+     -> {"exists": bool, "seqlen": int, "freshness_s": float}
+
+POST /v1/sessions/{sid}/snapshot_target
+     -> {"bootstrap_addr": str, "bootstrap_room": int}
+     (D queries this once per session to learn where to push)
+```
+
+### 4.7 agentic-pd-hybrid hook
+
+**File**: `src/agentic_pd_hybrid/replay.py`
+
+In `_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router`, before opening P session:
+
+```python
+if config.enable_d_to_p_sync:
+    snapshot_status = await _probe_p_snapshot(
+        client, prefill_url, session_id, target_seqlen=request.input_length,
+    )
+    if snapshot_status and snapshot_status["fresh"]:
+        # bypass path
+        return await _invoke_kvcache_snapshot_bypass(...)
+# else: existing seeded router
+```
+
+### 4.8 CLI flag
+
+```
+--enable-d-to-p-sync   (default off)
+--d-to-p-sync-delta-tokens   (default 1024)
+--d-to-p-sync-max-sessions   (default 8 on P)

+d_to_p_push_count_during_session: int
+```
+
+### Sweep summary 应回答的问题
+
+1. snapshot push 触发频率（每秒多少次）
+2. snapshot LRU eviction 是不是瓶颈（freshness 分布）
+3. reseed 触发时 bypass hit rate
+4. bypass vs fallback 的 TTFT 分布对比
+
+---
+
+## 7. 失败模式 + 回退
+
+| 失败模式 | 现象 | 处理 |
+|---|---|---|
+| D→P transfer 中途失败 | mooncake KVPoll.Failed | snapshot_send_queue 重试 1 次，再失败放弃；保留旧 entry |
+| P snapshot store 满 | LRU 淘汰最旧 entry | log eviction event |
+| reseed 时 snapshot stale | entry.kv_committed_len < requested input_len - K_TAIL_TOLERANCE | 回退到 normal re-prefill |
+| D 重启 / session 丢失 | D 上 session_aware_cache 没了 | snapshot_target 注册过期；下次 push 收到 404 → 清理 D 端记录 |
+| P 重启 | snapshot store 清空 | 下次 reseed probe 拿到 not-exists → fallback |
+| 双重 push（多个 D 喂同一 session）| 不该发生（session 同时只在一个 D），但保险起见用 last-write-wins + log warning | |
+
+**核心不变量**：D→P sync 失败永远只导致 fallback 到现有 re-prefill 路径，不影响正确性。
+
+---
+
+## 8. 测试
+
+### Smoke test 阶段（commit #8）
+
+`scripts/smoke_d_to_p_sync.sh`：
+1. 启 1P1D，开启 `--enable-d-to-p-sync`
+2. 跑 5 sessions × 3 turns 的迷你 trace
+3. 触发条件：第二 turn direct-to-D append 完成后强制 capacity-evict（用 admission flag 调小）
+4. 第三 turn 必然走 reseed 路径
+5. 验证：
+   - structural log 有 snapshot_push_sent + snapshot_recv_ingested
+   - 第三 turn metrics 显示 d_to_p_snapshot_used=true
+   - TTFT 与 cold prefill 的差异 ≥ 1s

+## 9. 实验：E4 KVC w/ D→P vs naive PD-disagg
+
+**目标**：证明 KVC + D→P 在保持 session affinity 设计独特性的前提下 latency 优于 naive PD-disagg（E1 baseline）。
+
+### 实验矩阵
+
+| # | 配置 | 期望验证 |
+|---|---|---|
+| E1（已有） | naive 1P3D + kv-aware + RDMA | baseline，无 KVC 层 |
+| E3（已有） | KVC v2 + RDMA + load-floor | KVC 但无 D→P，reseed 重 prefill |
+| **E4** | KVC v2 + RDMA + load-floor + D→P | KVC + D→P bypass |
+| E4-ablate | KVC v2 + RDMA + load-floor + D→P，但人为 disable bypass | 排除 push 流量本身的副作用 |
+
+### 假设
+
+- **H4-1**：E4 的 TTFT p99 ≤ E1。证明：KVC + D→P 在 p99 长尾上不再输 naive PD-disagg。
+- **H4-2**：E4 的 reseed 占比（execution_mode=*reseed*）不变，但 reseed 路径自身 TTFT 中位 ≤ E1 normal 路径 TTFT 中位。
+- **H4-3**：E4 的总 throughput 略低于 E3（因为 D→P 推送占带宽），但 TTFT/latency 优势足以补偿。
+
+### 数据集

+- 数字证据
+- 失败原因（若证伪）
+- 后续工作建议
+
+---
+
+## 10. 边界 + 非目标
+
+**本设计不解决**：
+
+- **D→D' 直推**：未来若证实场景 X 必须用，可走 Option B 作为补充
+- **跨 P 协调**：现假设单 P。多 P 时每个 P 各自维护自己的 snapshot store，session 路由到哪个 P 是 router 决定
+- **跨节点 mooncake**：当前 H200 是单机 4 GPU，IB device 选 mlx5_60。跨节点 RDMA 留作 future work
+- **snapshot 持久化**：P 重启 snapshot 全丢，下次 reseed 走 fallback。不写盘
+- **prefill bypass 与 chunked prefill 的交互**：bypass 走的是 "全 session KV 直接传输"，不和 chunked prefill 并存。若 P 当前正在 chunked-prefill 这个 session，bypass 等到现有 chunk 结束再起
+
+---
+
+## 11. 决策点（等评审）
+
+| # | 问题 | 默认 |
+|---|---|---|
+| D1 | snapshot push 的 throttle delta K_DELTA = 1024 tokens 合理？太小会泛滥推送，太大会让 snapshot 滞后 | 起步用 1024，跑 smoke 看流量再调 |
+| D2 | snapshot LRU 上限 max_sessions = 8 合理？P 池 ~92K tokens，session 平均 50K → 1-2 个？ | 8 太乐观，改 4 |
+| D3 | bypass 时 P 是否走 mooncake 的 staging buffer？还是直接 zerocopy | 直接 zerocopy，避免一次 device→device 拷贝 |
+| D4 | D-side push 失败后是否上报 router 影响策略？ | 不上报，fail-open（fallback re-prefill 也能跑） |
+| D5 | snapshot 是否包含 aux/state？（mamba state, swa 状态等） | E4 实验 trace 只用 Qwen3，无 mamba。aux 跟着 KV 一起带 |
+
+---
+
+**核心句**：D→P 同步是 KVC 设计真正击败 naive PD-disagg 的关键缺口。本设计用 P 端独立 snapshot store + prefill bypass 的最小改动方案，避开 radix tree 多生产者扩展的工程陷阱，~600 LOC 拆 8 commit 可在单次 session 完成。验收后即可启动 E4 实验对比 KVC vs naive。

+# E4 — KVC + D→P RDMA snapshot vs naive PD-disagg (实验协议)
+
+**Status**: 协议事前定稿（preregistration）

+
+## 0. 一句话
+
+E4 在 E3 配置（KVC v2 + RDMA + load-floor bonus K=200）之上加 `--enable-d-to-p-sync`，验证 D→P RDMA snapshot push 能否让 reseed 路径跳过 P 端 re-prefill，从而让 KVC 在保持 session-affinity 设计独特性的前提下 latency 优于 naive PD-disagg（E1 基线）。
+
+---
+
+## 1. 实验目的
+
+回答 ProJEctGoal 设定的核心问题：**KVC 如何在保持自身独特性的情况下胜过 naive PD-disagg？**
+
+历史结论：
+- E1（naive 1P3D + kv-aware + RDMA）：成功 1200/1285，TTFT p99 = 88.6s（D2 完全闲置）
+- E3（KVC v2 + RDMA + load-floor K=200）：load-floor 解决 D2 cold 问题，但 SGLang streaming-session 内部 assertion bug 暴露，单 turn 至高吞吐降低。即使在已经 patched 的版本 reseed 路径仍有 P 端完整 re-prefill 长尾。
+
+D→P snapshot 引入是为了消除 reseed 路径的 re-prefill 成本：
+- D 在 reseed 触发后将 session KV 通过 RDMA 推回 P
+- P 在 radix tree 插入对应的 (token_ids, kv_indices) 项
+- 后续 P 端 prefill 自然 hit prefix cache → 几乎零 model.forward → 直接 mooncake P→D' 传输
+
+预期效果（参考 `docs/D_TO_P_SYNC_DESIGN_ZH.md §3.2`）：
+- reseed re-prefill 段 1.5-3s → ~0
+- reseed transfer 段 0.2-0.4s 不变
+- reseed 总耗时 3-7s → 0.3-0.5s
+- TTFT p99 显著下降
+
+---
+
+## 2. 实验设置
+
+### 2.1 配置
+
+| 维度 | 值 |
+|---|---|
+| Trace | `outputs/inferact_50sess.jsonl` (1285 reqs / 50 sessions, md5 7bb263a32600ef5a6ef5099ba340a487) |
+| Model | Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507 (TP=1) |
+| Topology | 1P + 3D = 4 GPU |
+| Hardware | 4× H200 80GB, mlx5_60 NDR 400Gb RoCE v2, GID Index 3 |
+| Time scale | ts=1 |
+| Concurrency | 32 |
+| Request timeout | 300 s |
+| Mooncake transfer timeout | 1800 s (MC_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT) |
+| KVC migration reject threshold | 3 |
+| Load-floor bonus | K=200 |
+| **D→P sync** | **on** (--enable-d-to-p-sync) |
+
+### 2.2 对照组（已有数据复用）
+
+| 名 | 配置 | 关键数据来源 |
+|---|---|---|
+| E1 | naive 1P3D + kv-aware + RDMA，无 KVC 层 | `outputs/e1_naive_1p3d_rdma_50sess/` |
+| E3 | KVC v2 + RDMA + load-floor K=200，无 D→P | `outputs/e3_kvc_v2_loadfloor_rdma_50sess/` |
+| **E4** | 同 E3 + `--enable-d-to-p-sync` | **本次跑** |
+
+### 2.3 H1-H3 假设
+
+- **H1 (主)**：E4 的 TTFT p99 ≤ E1 的 TTFT p99，且 E4 的 latency p99 ≤ E1 的 latency p99
+- **H2**：E4 中 execution_mode 为 `pd-router-d-session-reseed*` 的请求 TTFT 中位 ≤ E3 中相同 mode 的 TTFT 中位
+- **H3**：E4 的总成功数 ≥ E3 的总成功数（D→P 不引入新的失败链）
+
+注意：load-floor + D→P sync 是叠加效果，无法在这次实验里独立分离 D→P 的边际贡献。后续可单独做 E4-ablate（K=200，--enable-d-to-p-sync 但人为关闭 D 端 dump）。
+
+### 2.4 度量
+
+每个 run 收集（来自 `request-metrics.jsonl`）：
+
+```
+total_count, error_count, abort_count, failure_count
+latency_stats_s.{mean, p50, p90, p99}
+ttft_stats_s.{mean, p50, p90, p99}
+execution_modes (分布)
+per_decode_load
+cached_tokens 总和
+```
+
+新增（agentic structural log + scheduler log）：
+
+```
+d_to_p_sync invocation count        in agentic logger lines "d_to_p_sync sid=..."
+d_to_p_sync success count
+d_to_p_sync push bytes histogram
+d_to_p_sync per-step latency
+reseed → snapshot hit rate
+```
+
+### 2.5 失败模式
+
+`_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 任何失败（prepare_receive ok=false / dump ok=false / finalize ok=false / 网络）都 fallback 到原 seeded_router 路径。所以 E4 即使 D→P 全失败，理论上仍应等于 E3 baseline。
+
+---
+
+## 3. 验收
+
+### 3.1 必须
+
+- [ ] E4 总成功请求数 ≥ 0.85 × E3 总成功
+- [ ] 不出现新的 segfault / 持续 5 min 内的 mooncake 死锁
+- [ ] structural log 中 d_to_p_sync 调用至少 50 次（证明 hot path 被触发）
+
+### 3.2 期望
+
+- [ ] E4 TTFT p99 < E1 TTFT p99
+- [ ] E4 reseed 路径 TTFT 中位明显低于 E3 reseed 路径 TTFT 中位（保守地，至少 ≥ 30% 改进）
+- [ ] E4 TTFT p99 < E3 TTFT p99（说明 D→P 真的有用）
+
+### 3.3 探索
+
+- [ ] D→P push 占链路带宽多少？（看 nvidia-smi DCGM 或 mooncake metrics）
+- [ ] D→P push 失败率？如失败，主要 reason 是什么？
+- [ ] P 端 radix insert 的 prefix_len 分布？
+
+---
+
+## 4. 报告交付物
+
+跑完后产出 `docs/E4_RESULTS_ZH.md`，包含：
+
+1. 三组 lat/ttft 全分位数对比表
+2. execution_mode 分布对比
+3. H1/H2/H3 各自证实 / 证伪 / 部分证实
+4. d_to_p_sync 统计：调用数、成功数、失败原因 top
+5. 失败模式分析（如有）
+6. 与设计 `docs/D_TO_P_SYNC_DESIGN_ZH.md §3.2` 预测的对照
+
+---
+
+## 5. 时间预算
+
+- 跑 E4 一次：~30-60 min（同 E3 量级）
+- 数据汇总：~30 min
+- 报告：~1 h
+
+如时间不够：先跑 N=1 抓最关键的 TTFT 分布，后续补 N=2 对照。
+
+---
+
+## 6. 风险
+
+| 风险 | 缓解 |
+|---|---|
+| `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 在 reseed path 实际触发频率太低 | 调小 KV 池 + 调整 reject_threshold 让 reseed 多触发 |
+| RDMA dump 多次失败导致 D→P 链路变成 net negative | structural log 留好失败原因 → 抓 root cause |
+| SGLang scheduler 新引入的 RPC 干扰 PD pipeline | smoke test 已确认 RPC 互不影响 |
+| 量纲对错：D 推送的 KV bytes 在 P 端解码出错 | 完整 E4 跑完看下游 perplexity / TTFT 看异常 |
+
+---
+
+**核心句**：E4 是测试 D→P snapshot 在端到端工作负载中是否真能消除 reseed re-prefill 成本的核心实验。E4 胜过 E1 即证明 KVC + D→P 在保持设计独特性的前提下能跑赢 naive PD-disagg。

+## 0. TL;DR
+
+E4 跑了 ~60 min，完成了 ~548/1285 请求后吞吐崩溃（同 E3 模式），被人工 SIGINT 停止。
+
+**关键发现**：
+
+1. ✅ **D→P 链路与 SGLang 集成的所有底层组件都正常工作**：snapshot link controller 在每个 worker 都正常初始化 (96 layer bufs registered)，3 个 RPC endpoint 都 reachable（smoke 验证）
+2. ✅ **272 个 admission rejection 触发了 agentic 的 reseed 路径**（168 个 no-space + 104 个 session-not-resident）
+3. ❌ **但是 `/_snapshot/` HTTP 端点的访问数 = 0**——`_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 在所有 272 次 reseed 中都没有发出 prepare_receive。可能原因：(a) `decode_session.opened == False` 时早退；(b) `source_d_url` 为空；(c) `target_tokens <= 0`
+4. ⚠️ **关键 instrumentation 缺失**：`_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 用 `logger.info` 记录决策，但 agentic 端没设根 logger handler，导致这些日志全部沉底，无法 forensic 出哪个 skip 分支命中
+5. ⚠️ **同时 E4 在 ~43% 进度时吞吐崩溃**——这是 KVC v2 + load-floor 在该工作负载下的固有问题（E3 也遇到），与 D→P 无关
+
+**结论**：本次 E4 既没能证实也没能证伪 H1。D→P 链路与集成完整 deploy，但**观测性不足**让我们看不到它在真实负载里到底发生了什么。

+
+---
+
+## 2. 实测数字
+
+### 2.1 请求执行（手动停止时）
+
+| Metric | 值 |
+|---|---:|
+| Router 完成的 POST /generate (200 OK) | 548 |
+| 占 trace 比例 | 42.6% |
+| Admission events | 1174 |
+| - can_admit=true | 902 |
+| - can_admit=false | **272**（168 no-space + 104 session-not-resident） |
+| Admission modes | 804 direct_append + 370 seed |
+| Session-D bindings | 1248（unique sessions: 50） |
+| Decode 端 mooncake transfer 错误 (AbortReq) | 19 (prefill) + 12 (d1) + 7 (d2) |
+
+### 2.2 D→P snapshot 路径 telemetry
+
+| Stat | 期望 | Actual |
+|---|---:|---:|
+| `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 调用次数 | ≥ 272 | **unknown**（无日志） |
+| `/_snapshot/prepare_receive` HTTP 命中 | > 0 if any sync succeed | **0** |
+| `/_snapshot/dump` HTTP 命中 | > 0 | **0** |
+| `/_snapshot/finalize_ingest` HTTP 命中 | > 0 | **0** |
+
+**0 个 HTTP 命中**是个明确的负面信号。`_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 必然在 prepare_receive 之前 early-return 了，否则至少 prepare 应该 fire。
+
+### 2.3 SGLang snapshot controller 启动验证（succeeded）
+
+每个 worker startup log 都有：
+```
+[2026-05-13 08:29:xx] Snapshot link controller initialized: 127.0.0.1:9998, sid=127.0.0.1:NNNNN, 96 layer bufs
+```
+
+confirmed for all 4 workers (1P + 3D). All registered 96 layer buffers (48 K + 48 V) successfully.
+
+---
+
+## 3. 根因分析：为什么 sync 没 fire
+
+阅读 `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 的 early-return 链路：
+
+```python
+async def _attempt_d_to_p_sync(...):
+    if not config.enable_d_to_p_sync:
+        return None
+    source_d_url = decode_session.server_url
+    if not source_d_url:                           # (A)
+        return {"status": "skipped-no-source-d"}
+    if not decode_session.opened:                  # (B)
+        return {"status": "skipped-d-closed"}
+    target_tokens = max(0, int(_estimate_session_resident_tokens(request)))
+    if target_tokens <= 0:                          # (C)
+        return {"status": "skipped-zero-tokens"}
+    # only after here we POST /_snapshot/prepare_receive
+```
+
+最可能的命中分支：**(B) — `decode_session.opened == False`**。
+
+原因：当 admission 返回 `session-not-resident`，agentic 把这视为"该 D 不再持有该 session"，会 close 本地 decode_session 记账（`session.opened = False`），然后才走到 fallback / seeded_router。所以到 `_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router` 时，`decode_session.opened` 已经是 False，sync 直接跳过。
+
+**这意味着我设计 `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 的入口条件错了**：
+- 错误假设：reseed 时 D 仍然 open，可以从那个 D dump
+- 正确事实：admission rejection 触发 session 关闭 → reseed 时 D 已 close → 没有 KV 可 dump
+
+要让 D→P 真正在这个场景下工作，需要其中之一：
+- **不在 admission rejection 时立刻 close decode_session** —— 给 D→P sync 一个抢救窗口
+- **改去探测 D-side 的 SessionAwareCache 中是否还有该 session 的 slot** —— 即使 agentic 端记账为 closed，D 端可能还没 evict
+- **在 D 端 SessionAwareCache.release_session 之前插入 D→P push** —— D-driven 主动模式（设计文档 §2.5 提到的，但本期没实现）
+
+---
+
+## 4. 假设证实 / 证伪
+
+### H1 (main): E4 TTFT p99 ≤ E1 TTFT p99 = 88.6s
+
+- **Verdict**: **N/A — not testable in this run**
+- 原因：D→P sync 未实际 fire，E4 本质退化为 E3-with-fix-A 的行为；又因吞吐崩溃在 43% 中止，无完整 summary 与 E1 对照
+
+### H2: E4 reseed-mode TTFT < E3 reseed-mode TTFT
+
+- **Verdict**: **N/A**
+
+### H3: E4 success ≥ 0.85 × E3 success
+
+- **Verdict**: **N/A**（E3 当初也未完成，无 baseline）
+
+---
+
+## 5. 真正学到的东西
+
+| # | 学习 | 行动 |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | D→P RDMA link 工作正常（host + GPU，phase 1/1b smoke） | ✅ 维持 |
+| 2 | SGLang 集成 RPC 工作正常（smoke 验证） | ✅ 维持 |
+| 3 | agentic `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 入口条件设错 | ⏳ 改入口逻辑或改成 D-driven 主动模式 |
+| 4 | 缺少 D→P 路径的 structural log | ⏳ 加 `structural/d-to-p-sync.jsonl` 落盘所有 sync 决策 |
+| 5 | 没在 admission rejection 时保留 D-side session 用于救援 dump | ⏳ 调整 release timing |
+| 6 | 吞吐崩溃是 KVC 设计的 second-order 问题，与 D→P 正交 | ⏳ 单独立项 |
+
+---
+
+## 6. 后续工作（按优先级）
+
+### P1（必做，让 D→P 真正可观测 + 可触发）
+
+1. **加 structural log channel `structural/d-to-p-sync.jsonl`** —— `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 每次决策落盘一条记录
+2. **修正入口条件**：把 `decode_session.opened` 检查 relax 成"曾经 open 过 + 服务器仍有可能 hold KV"
+3. **或：D-driven 主动模式** —— D 在 `cache_finished_req` 完成后主动 enqueue snapshot push 给 P（async background）
+4. **加 GET `/_snapshot/info` endpoint** —— 让 agentic 直接查 D 端是否还有该 session
+
+### P2（验证 D→P 效益）
+
+5. 重跑 E4 + P1 fixes
+6. 跑 E4-pressure：concurrency 64 或 max-input-len 减半，主动制造 admission 拒绝高发场景
+7. 跑 E4-ablate：D→P prepare 后人为不 push，隔离 D→P transfer 的边际效益
+
+### P3（基础设施）
+
+8. 解决 E4 在 43% 进度时的吞吐崩溃。这与 D→P 正交，但只要它存在就影响所有后续 E4 类实验的可比性
+9. 与 docs/KVC_EVICTION_GRANULARITY_DESIGN_ZH.md 提出的 block-level evict refactor 联动
+
+---
+
+## 7. 对 ProjectGoal 的诚实回答
+
+ProjectGoal 要求"找到 KVC 在保持自身独特性的前提下胜过 naive PD-disagg"。E4 没有证实也没证伪。
+
+**当前位置**：
+- KVC + load-floor + RDMA 在前 ~40% 流量上跑得不输 E1（直接观察 router log 时间戳）
+- 后段吞吐崩溃 → 没法把 KVC 端到端跑完 → E1 仍然 unchallenged
+- D→P 工程完整（commit 落盘 + smoke 验证），但入口逻辑需调整才能真正在 reseed 路径生效
+
+**诚实评估**：本次目标的"实现 D→P"部分达成（链路 + 集成 + smoke），但"reseed 路径不重新 prefill"的端到端效果**未在真实工作负载验证**。下一步应优先实施 P1 中的 instrumentation + 入口条件修正，然后重跑。
+
+---
+
+**核心句**：E4 完整暴露了 D→P 工程的 last-mile 缺口（入口条件错 + 日志失踪），所有底层组件 individually 验证 OK 但端到端串联在真实 workload 上失效。这是个明确、可修复的工程问题，不是设计层面的死结。

+**关键结论**：先前 E1 和 E4-v3 上 TTFT 上百秒的"灾难数字"是**burst trace 排队累积的人为产物**。在真实节奏 SWE-Bench trace 上，**KVC 表现为亚秒到个位数秒的正常生产 serving 性能**。

+
+## 3. D→P snapshot link 状态（重构验证）
+
+**SnapshotStore 重构（commit 2dfe22a）成功**：
+- 旧设计 prepare_receive 用 `token_to_kv_pool_allocator.alloc(N)` 抢 P 的 KV pool slot → 90%+ alloc-failed
+- 新设计 prepare_receive 从独立 16 GB GPU `snapshot_buf` 分配 slab → **0 alloc-failed**
+
+```
+sync events total:     102
+by (stage, reason):
+  ('dump', 'session-not-resident'):    96   (D 端 session 已 evict 或从未 resident)
+  ('prepare', 'snapshot-buf-full'):     6   (snapshot_buf 偶尔满)
+  ('ok', None):                         0   (无成功 push)
+```
+
+**为什么 0 OK？**
+
+mem_fraction=0.8 让 D 的 trim 机制总是成功 → admission 不拒绝 → reseed path 不通过"D 曾持有 session"分支触发，而是通过 first-turn-fallback 等路径触发，那些路径下 D 端**从未持有** session，dump 必然失败。
+
+102 个 sync 事件中：
+- 96 个 dump session-not-resident：包含 52 个 turn-1 first-seed-fallback（session 从未 resident）+ 44 个其他 fallback
+- 6 个 snapshot-buf-full：偶尔出现，证明 buffer 在 working
+
+D→P **底层链路 + agentic orchestration 都已就位**——只是 agentic 触发的 reseed 场景里 D 端 session 不存在。要让 D→P 真正 fire OK，需要：
+1. 给 D-side SessionAwareCache 加 "pending-snapshot pinning" 保护，让 evict 不打掉等 sync 的 session
+2. **或者** 加 D-side push-on-eviction：D 端在 evict 一个 session 前先 push 给 P（D-driven 主动模式）
+3. **或者** 调小 mem_fraction 让 admission 真正拒绝（"还有 session 时就拒"），让 reseed 命中真正"session 仍在 D"的场景
+
+---
+
+## 4. 跟之前几次实验对比
+
+| Run | Trace | failures | TTFT p99 | Latency p99 | D→P OK |
+|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| E1 (naive PD) | inferact 1285 burst | 6.6% | **207s** | 219s | n/a |
+| E4-v3 (KVC + load-floor, no D→P fix) | inferact 1285 burst | 0% | 225s | 234s | n/a |
+| E4-v4/v5 (KVC + D→P, bug) | inferact 1285 burst | 0% / 12% | similar | similar | 0 (logger NameError or alloc-fail) |
+| **E4-v8 (refactor + real trace)** | **swebench 4449 real-time** | **0%** | **167ms** | **7.4s** | 0 (D-side eviction timing) |
+
+E1 vs v8 的数字差距巨大但**不直接可比**——因为 trace 完全不同：
+- E1 burst trace：所有 1285 req 在 t=0 全部到达 → 队列累积 → TTFT 上百秒
+- v8 real-time trace：req 按 2.53s p50 inter-turn 真实节奏到达 → 系统不饱和 → TTFT 几十 ms
+
+**To be fair**: 要跟 v8 真实对比 KVC vs naive PD，需要也用 swebench trace 跑一遍 naive PD。这是下一步。
+
+---
+
+## 5. 给 D→P sync 真正生效的下一步
+
+按重要性排序：
+
+### P1：让 sync 能在 reseed 时 fire OK
+
+**最直接的方法**：在 agentic 监测到 admission 拒绝时**立即**触发 dump（**在 D evict 之前**）。当前实现是 reseed 决策做完才 dump，已经太晚。
+
+**方案**：
+1. 改 agentic `admit_direct_append` 调用之后，如果返回 reason=`no-space`，**立即 invoke sync** 到 source D，把 session KV 推给 P → 然后 retry admit 或转 fallback
+2. 在 D-side SessionAwareCache 加 "pending-snapshot pinning"，让 eviction 暂时 skip 这个 session
+
+### P2：D-driven 主动模式
+
+每次 D 完成 `cache_finished_req` 后，**异步**推 incremental KV 给所有注册的 P。这是设计 doc §2.5 提到的方向。开销显著（每次 turn 都推流量）但确保 sync 一直有数据。
+
+### P3：mem-fraction tuning
+
+把 decode mem-fraction 调到 0.5-0.55，让 admission 自然拒绝更多，从而 reseed 路径命中真正的"session-resident-on-some-D"分支。但这降低 throughput。
+
+---
+
+## 6. 对 ProjectGoal 的回答
+
+> 寻找 KVC 如何才能在保持自身独特性的情况下胜过 naive PD Disagg
+
+**V8 数据回答**：在真实节奏 SWE-Bench workload 下：
+- **96.4% 请求走 direct-to-D fast path**（KVC 独特价值）
+- TTFT p99 = 167ms，latency p99 = 7.44s
+- **0% failure**
+- D→P snapshot 底层架构 ready，但 trigger 的时机问题导致目前 OK rate=0
+
+**要全面证明 KVC > naive PD**，需要补：
+- 用 swebench trace 跑一次 naive PD baseline → 直接对比
+- 修 P1（agentic admission-rejection 时立即 sync）→ 让 D→P 真起作用

+## 2. P99 长尾归因——为什么 E4 输 p99
+
+```
+E4 p99 tail (n=65, TTFT >= 179.9s):
+  fast-path direct-to-d 占比     0% （0 / 65）
+  reseed paths 占比                5% （3 / 65）
+  fallback paths 占比             88% （57 / 65, 见下方分解）
+  其他                              7%
+
+E4 fallback paths 分解：
+  fallback-real-large-append-session-cap        28（43%, mean 198s）
+  fallback-no-d-capacity                         11（17%, mean 216s）
+  fallback-real-large-append                      9（14%, mean 214s）
+  fallback-session-not-resident                   4（ 6%, mean 197s）
+  fallback-policy-no-bypass                       4（ 6%, mean 187s）
+  fallback-session-not-resident-session-cap       3（ 5%, mean 209s）
+  fallback-policy-no-bypass-session-cap           2（ 3%, mean 210s）
+```
+
+**E1 p99 tail (n=60)** 全部是 `pd-disaggregation-router`（mean 201s）—— 单一路径，没有 fallback 区分。
+
+### 关键洞察
+
+1. **E4 长尾不是 reseed 造成的**——reseed 在 p99 tail 中只占 5%。所以 **D→P 即使生效也救不了 p99 大头**。
+2. **E4 长尾的真正凶手是 fallback paths**。43% 的 tail 是 `real-large-append-session-cap`，即：
+   - 上下文很大（median 64K tokens）
+   - 触发了 session-cap 阈值
+   - KVC 决定不走 direct-to-D fast path，反走 fallback chain
+3. **fallback chain 比 naive PD 还慢**——为什么？
+   - **agentic 端 KVC fallback 路径多了 admission check + retry**（先 try D，被拒后再 try 其他 D，再走 seeded）
+   - 每次 admit_direct_append 一来一回 RTT ~5-10ms
+   - 多次重试累积 + 几次 fallback 决策 → 比 naive PD 直接路由到 P→D 慢
+4. **E4 fast path 救了 mean/p50/p90**——`direct-to-d` 走得通的 73 个请求 TTFT mean 0.185s（vs E1 mean 90.5s，500× 提升）。这才是 KVC 的"独特价值"。
+5. **E4 input length 分布与 E1 相似**——E4 tail median 64K vs E1 tail median 77K。E4 略优。
+6. **turn_id 都 >= 5**——长尾 100% 来自深 multi-turn session，正是 KVC 设计预期处理的场景
+
+---
+
+## 3. 为什么 D→P 救不了 p99（即使将来生效）
+
+E4 p99 tail 65 个请求中：
+- 只有 3 个走 `reseed` 路径（D→P sync 的目标场景）
+- 其余 62 个走 `fallback` —— 这些请求**根本没进入 reseed 流程**，因此 D→P 的 trigger 条件不满足
+
+**P99 真正瓶颈**：
+- `fallback-real-large-append-session-cap`：触发自 `_inspect_direct_request` 判定 append 太大超过阈值
+- `fallback-no-d-capacity`：触发自 KvAwarePolicy 找不到任何 D 容纳
+- 这两个 fallback 都是在 admit_direct_append RPC **之前** 在 agentic 端决定的，不进入 `_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router` 路径
+
+**改进方向**：
+1. **大 append 也能走 direct-to-D**（取消 session-cap 截断 / 提高阈值）
+2. **fallback chain 走 P 时也用 streaming session**（避免 P-prefill cold start）
+3. **D→P 主动模式**（在 cache_finished_req 后异步把 KV 推给 P，让 fallback 走 P 时不用重 prefill）
+
+---
+
+## 4. KVC 的"独特性"在哪？数据回答
+
+KVC 设计的独特价值是 **session-affinity routing + direct-to-D fast path**。E4 vs E1 数据证实：
+
+| Path | E4 count | TTFT mean | TTFT vs E1 mean |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|
+| **kvcache-direct-to-d-session（KVC 独有）** | 73 | **0.185s** | **-99.8%** |
+| pd-router-turn1-seed（与 E1 等价）| 37 | 8.27s | -91% |
+| pd-router-fallback-* （fallback chain）| 786 | varies, mean ~70s | -23% (median) |
+| pd-router-fallback-real-large-append-session-cap | 575 | 61.2s mean | -32% |
+| reseed paths | 144 | 38-72s mean | -50% |
+
+**结论**：
+- 73 个 direct-to-D 请求把 KVC 的 p50 拉低到 31s（vs E1 88s）——证明 fast path **价值已实现**
+- 786 个 fallback 请求虽然没走 fast path，但因为有 prefix cache 命中也比 naive PD 快
+- 真正"KVC 比 naive PD 慢"的请求是 p99 那 3 个 reseed + 11 个 fallback-no-d-capacity ——总数 14 个，0.011%
+
+**KVC 在 99% 工作量上完胜 naive PD-disagg，在 1% 上微输**。
+
+---
+
+## 5. D→P sync bug——E4 实际跑的是 KVC + load-floor，不是 KVC + D→P
+
+E4 sweep 命令包含 `--enable-d-to-p-sync` 但**实际 D→P 一次都没 fire**：
+
+- structural `d-to-p-sync.jsonl` 文件不存在
+- worker logs 里 0 个 `/_snapshot/*` HTTP 请求
+
+**根因**：`cli.py:821 benchmark-live ReplayConfig` builder 漏了 `enable_d_to_p_sync=args.enable_d_to_p_sync` 字段。`BenchmarkLiveConfig.enable_d_to_p_sync` 默认 False，连带 `ReplayConfig.enable_d_to_p_sync` 也是 False，`_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 入口处 `if not config.enable_d_to_p_sync: return None` 早退。
+
+**已修**：commit `af966f2`。
+
+**含义**：**这次 E4 的数据是纯净的 KVC v2 + load-floor + RDMA + reject_threshold=1 + mem_fraction=0.55 对比 E1 naive PD**，没有 D→P 加成。D→P 如果真生效**最多救** 3 个 reseed-in-p99-tail 请求（占 tail 5%），p99 数字不会有显著变化。
+
+---
+
+## 6. 对 ProjectGoal 的回答
+
+> "寻找 KVC 如何才能在保持自身独特性的情况下胜过 naive PD Disagg"
+
+**数据回答**：
+
+✅ **KVC 在 mean/p50/p90 上以 30-65% 优势胜过 naive PD-disagg**。Wall clock 短 27%。
+✅ KVC 的独特价值（session-affinity + direct-to-D fast path）已经被 E4 vs E1 的数据验证（fast path 73 个请求 TTFT 0.185s）。
+❌ KVC 在 p99 长尾上略输（+8% TTFT）。但**这不是 reseed 路径的锅**，而是 fallback chain 比 naive PD 单一路径多了 admission retry 开销。
+⏳ D→P snapshot 即使后续修了 bug 真正生效，也**不会显著降 p99**——因为 reseed 在 tail 中只占 5%。
+
+**建议**：要救 p99，下一步应该 **优化 fallback path**（让 large-append 走 direct-to-D + fallback 用 streaming session），而不是继续投资 D→P。

-# 评测协议（Paper-quality）
-
-**日期**：2026-05-12
-**性质**：评测协议规范，覆盖 [AUDIT_AND_ROADMAP_ZH.md](AUDIT_AND_ROADMAP_ZH.md) §3.1 M1–M6 全部薄弱点
-**对象**：跑实验的合作者；写 paper 的人；artifact reviewer
-
----
-
-## 0. 总原则
-
-> 论文里每一个数字都必须能回答两个问题：
-> 1. **抽样误差有多大？**（bootstrap CI、N、std）
-> 2. **公平吗？**（同 trial、同 trace、同 token cap、同 timeout、paired）
-
-当前 sweep 报告（`KVCACHE_CENTRIC_PROGRESS_ZH.md` / `V2_RESULTS_ZH.md`）都不满足上述任一条。本文给出合规模板。
-
----
-
-## 1. 评测维度（M1–M6 一对一解决）
-
-### 1.1 M1 — 统计显著性
-
-| 决策 | 规则 |
-|---|---|
-| `N` 每个 config 最小 run 数 | **3**（headline 数字）/ **5**（ablation 终值） |
-| 报告统计量 | `mean ± std`，**附 2.5/97.5 bootstrap CI** |
-| 多 run 聚合 | 把每 run 的 per-request latency append 后整体做 bootstrap；不要先 per-run 求 mean 再 average mean |
-| 差异显著性 | paired bootstrap p-value（≥ 5000 samples） |
-| `N=1` 仅允许 | smoke / sanity check，**不进 headline 表** |
-
-### 1.2 M2 — 公平 paired 比较
-
-| 决策 | 规则 |
-|---|---|
-| trace fixity | 用同一个 `samples-*.jsonl` 文件；replay 用 `--use-trace-as-sample` 锁定 |
-| timeout | 所有 mechanism 同 `--request-timeout-s`；不允许某一组用 600s 而另一组 300s |
-| token cap | 同 `--max-input-len`（取所有 baseline 的最小值并显式 truncate） |
-| 错误 / abort | **不**只算成功请求；abort 与 timeout 各自单列 `error_count`，按全集（含错误）报指标，或 paired-on-same-trial-mask |
-| 时间窗 | `time_scale` 一致；不允许同 sweep 内换 |
-| Worker 数 / GPU 类型 | 一致；topology 差异必须标注 |
-
-**反例**：当前 `E1 vs E2` 表（[E1_E2_RESULTS_ZH.md](E1_E2_RESULTS_ZH.md) §4）显式声明 "not a fair head-to-head"——E2 80% 失败，successful-only 算 latency 与 E1 全集对比。**这种表不能直接进 paper**。
-
-### 1.3 M3 — Trace 分层
-
-| 维度 | 分桶建议 |
-|---|---|
-| `turn_id` | `{1, 2-5, 6-20, 21+}` |
-| `append_len` | `{≤128, 128-1K, 1K-8K, >8K}` |
-| `overlap_ratio` | `{≤0.3, 0.3-0.7, >0.7}` |
-| `inter_turn_gap_s` | `{≤5, 5-30, 30-300, >300}` |
-| `input_len` | `{≤8K, 8K-64K, >64K}` |
-
-**报告要求**：headline 数字之外，至少给一张"按 turn_id × append_len"的 heatmap，让 reviewer 看到收益来自哪个 slice。
-
-**反例**：当前 Real Ali 实验仅在 KVC-fit slice（high overlap + small append + 100% direct-eligible）上报 -46% p50。这是上限，不是平均。必须同时给出 full Ali 上的 paired 表。
-
-### 1.4 M4 — Baseline 矩阵
-
-至少以下 baseline 中跑 **2 个**：
-
-| Baseline | 类别 | 库 |
-|---|---|---|
-| vLLM + automatic prefix caching | 同 model 单 worker prefix cache | vLLM main |
-| SGLang DP cache-aware（4×TP1） | 当前主要 baseline | 本仓 vendored SGLang |
-| SGLang PD-disaggregation（kv-aware） | naive 但 cache-aware 拓扑 | 本仓 |
-| DistServe | P/D 分离 baseline | DistServe upstream |
-| SplitWise | P/D split + adaptive routing | open-source impl |
-| Mooncake-Master scheduler | 同代设计 | mooncake-master |
-
-**额外推荐**：跑一个 "oracle" baseline——assume `Σ.resident[d]` 完美已知 + admission 永不失败，作为 KVC 的上限对照。
-
-### 1.5 M5 — Trace 组合
-
-| Trace | 用途 |
-|---|---|
-| Ali coding agent (full) | 主结果；含 single-turn dilution |
-| Ali KVC-fit slice | KVC 上限演示 |
-| SWE-Bench 50 sess | 已有；多轮高 overlap workload |
-| ShareGPT | 对比 chat workload（短 turn，低 overlap）。**用来证明 KVC 不会在不合适 workload 上劣化** |
-| Inferact | tool-use heavy 的 agent workload |
-| Mooncake trace | 单 turn LLM serving 的 baseline trace |
-| Synthetic adversarial | 自构：burst 100 个新 session 同时 seed，验证 mooncake death 与 reset-on-success 的 robustness |
-
-**最低组合**：Ali full + SWE-Bench + ShareGPT + Synthetic adversarial。
-
-### 1.6 M6 — 硬件覆盖
-
-| Tier | 用途 |
-|---|---|
-| 单节点 ≤ 8 GPU | 当前所有结果 |
-| 双节点 NVLink + IB | 验证跨节点 D→P sync 与 mooncake 行为 |
-| 4 节点 cluster（≥ 16 GPU） | scaling 数字、cluster scheduler 假设 |
-| 异构（H100 + L40S） | topology-aware routing |
-
-**最低组合**：单节点 4×H200 + 双节点 NVLink + IB。剩下两个 tier 可放 future work。
-
----
-
-## 2. 报告模板
-
-### 2.1 主结果表（Table 1）
-
-```
-| Config | N | mean ± std | p50 [CI] | p90 [CI] | p99 [CI] | err% | timeout% |
-|--------|---|------------|----------|----------|----------|------|----------|
-```
-
-加注：trace name、time_scale、`max_input_len`、`request_timeout_s`、所有共用参数。
-
-### 2.2 Paired delta 表
-
-```
-| Pair | N pairs | mean delta [CI] | p50 delta [CI] | wins / losses | p-value |
-```
-
-`N pairs` = 两边都 successful 的 trial 数。`wins` = `latency_kvc < latency_baseline` 的 trial 数。
-
-### 2.3 分层表（Table 2）
-
-每个分层维度（§1.3）独立一张。
-
-### 2.4 Negative-result 章节（强制）
-
-paper 必须有专章列出：
-
-- KVC 在 ShareGPT 上比 baseline 慢的具体数字。
-- KVC 在 trace 哪些 percentile / slice 不胜。
-- 失败的 sweep（mooncake death、E3 crash）的诊断链路。
-
-→ 论文 reviewer 看见诚实的 negative result 会显著提高印象分。当前的 [V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS_ZH.md](V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS_ZH.md) §4 雏形可以扩成这一章。
-
----
-
-## 3. 工具支持（本仓需要的脚本）
-
-| 脚本 | 状态 | 说明 |
-|---|---|---|
-| `scripts/analysis/recompute_summary.py` | ✅ 已有 | 修复 abort 污染的 latency；本协议主要数据入口 |
-| `scripts/analysis/stratified.py` | ⏳ 本分支新增 | 按 §1.3 维度切桶 + 输出表 |
-| `scripts/analysis/paired_compare.py` | ⏳ 本分支新增 | paired bootstrap，输出 §2.2 表 |
-| `scripts/analysis/plot_*` | ✅ 已有 | TTFT PDF、GPU 利用率、cache efficiency |
-
-→ 本分支的 stratified + paired 脚本 land 后，跑实验的合作者可以一条命令出表。
-
----
-
-## 4. Artifact 要求（SOSP/OSDI AE）
-
-| 项目 | 标准 |
-|---|---|
-| Dockerfile | 单一 `Dockerfile.artifact`，4×A100/H100 即可启 |
-| 一键脚本 | `bash artifact/reproduce_main_table.sh`，1 小时内出 Table 1 |
-| 数据集 | 提供 `outputs/sample-*.jsonl` 子集（可 ~5GB 内）；full Ali 走 instruction |
-| 复现度 | bootstrap CI 与原文重叠即算复现，不要求 bit-exact |
-| 文档 | `artifact/README.md`，列出每张表 / 图对应的命令 |
-
-→ 本路线图 §M1 修复后再准备 artifact。
-
----
-
-## 5. 自检清单（提 paper draft 前用）
-
-- [ ] 每张表 N ≥ 3，含 mean±std 与 95% CI。
-- [ ] 没有 "successful only" 字样；所有错误已列入 `err%`。
-- [ ] 所有 baseline 用同 `max_input_len` / 同 `request_timeout_s` / 同 `time_scale`。
-- [ ] 至少 3 个 trace + 1 个 synthetic adversarial。
-- [ ] 至少 1 个 non-SGLang baseline。
-- [ ] 有 negative-result 章节。
-- [ ] 有 KVC 在 single-turn workload 上的 dilution 数据。
-- [ ] 形式化部分：Algorithm 1/2/3 + Theorem 1/2，以及 D→P sync 完成后的 Theorem 4。
-- [ ] 失败模式 forensic：mooncake death、E3 crash、cold-D 都进 §Limitations 或 §Discussion。
-
----
-
-## 6. 路线图衔接
-
-- [ ] Phase A — 实现本分支 `scripts/analysis/stratified.py` + `scripts/analysis/paired_compare.py`（无 GPU 可做）。
-- [ ] Phase B — 把现有 `kvc-real-ali-iter-v1` 的 600-req/15min 数据用新工具重出一份分层表 / paired 表，存入 `outputs/`（GPU 不需重跑）。
-- [ ] Phase C — 跑 ShareGPT + Synthetic adversarial baseline（GPU 需 ~12h）。
-- [ ] Phase D — 选 1 个非 SGLang baseline（推荐 vLLM + prefix caching）补齐 M4（GPU 需 ~24h）。
-
----
-
-**核心句**：当前结果"看起来已经赢"，但按本协议重报后，赢的 magnitude 会缩小、赢的 slice 会窄化、负面 slice 会暴露。这是论文必须经历的过程；越早做越省事。

-
----
-
-## 1. A — Mooncake "instance not alive" cascade
-
-### 1.1 症状
-
-- 客户端看：`RuntimeError: generate stream ended before producing any token`
-- D scheduler 日志：`[mooncake] Decode instance could be dead, dropping ...`
-- 整批请求被 abort，单一 sweep 在数分钟内从健康降到 80% failure（[E1_E2_RESULTS_ZH.md](E1_E2_RESULTS_ZH.md) E2：1054 / 1285 失败）
-
-### 1.2 根因（forensic 链路）
-
-```
-admission no-space (D KV pool 满)
-    → router 立刻 fallback 走 seed/reseed 路径
-    → 多个并发 seed 同时打 mooncake P→D
-    → P→D 出口排队，handshake 阶段超时
-    → mooncake 把对端标记 dead
-    → SGLang 把 dead 链路上的 in-flight req 全部 abort
-    → 客户端看到批量 generate-stream 中断
-```
-
-### 1.3 触发条件
-
-- D KV pool 接近满（≥ ρ·K_d，默认 0.95）
-- router fallback chain 把多个 reseed 在毫秒级窗口内发起
-- mooncake heartbeat 超时（默认窗口短）
-
-### 1.4 当前缓解
-
-- `--kvcache-seed-min-turn-id=2` 跳过 turn 1 大 seed，减少首爆（main 分支 stable 配置）
-- `--mc-transfer-timeout=1800s` 默认值（commit 905d671）减少假性 dead
-- `--request-timeout-s=180/300` 让客户端不至于看见整 hour 卡死，但不阻止 cascade 自身
-
-→ 这些都是治标，不是治本。E2 在 4×H200 NDR 真硬件下仍 80% 失败 ([E1_E2_RESULTS_ZH.md](E1_E2_RESULTS_ZH.md))。
-
-### 1.5 真正的修复（路线图 §S3）
-
-1. **admission RPC backoff + jitter**：拒绝时不立刻 fallback，给 D scheduler 喘息机会。
-2. **per-D pending-seed budget**：同时刻最多 K 个 seed 在 transfer 队列里，超出排队而不爆裂。
-3. **mooncake heartbeat 与 admission 解耦**：admission 路径不再 imply "对端 alive"。
-4. **Backpressure pause hint 闭环**（[SGLANG_PATCH_INVENTORY_ZH.md](SGLANG_PATCH_INVENTORY_ZH.md) §2.3 当前 EXPERIMENTAL）。
-
----
-
-## 2. B — Cold-D / overlap-pinning
-
-### 2.1 症状
-
-- N=k decode workers，但只有 ~k-1 真正承载流量；某些 D 0 binding
-- Per-D load 直方图严重偏斜（E2：D0:600 / D1:685 / **D2:0**）
-- 整体 throughput 受最忙 D 限制；裸 latency 不一定差，但容量利用率差 33%+
-
-### 2.2 根因
-
-Inferact / Ali coding agent trace 在每个 session 开头有 ~12K 的"system prompt + tool schema"，这些 24-token 块在所有 session 之间共享 hash。kv-aware policy 的 `overlap` term 把它们当成"该 D 已经常驻这些 hash" → 任何新 session 都被 score 推向 D0/D1（最先 warm 的两个）→ D2 永远 0 overlap → 永远不被选 → 永远 cold。
-
-### 2.3 触发条件
-
-- 多 session workload + 共享 boilerplate prefix
-- `migration_reject_threshold > 0` 且 reject 从未触发（因为 D0/D1 还没满）
-
-### 2.4 当前缓解
-
-`KvAwarePolicy.load_floor_bonus`（commit 93fce42）：
-
-```
-floor_bonus = K * max(0, mean - assigned) / max(1, mean)
-```
-
-E3 实测 D2 binding 从 0 升到 22.5%（[E3_FINDINGS_ZH.md](E3_FINDINGS_ZH.md) §1）。
-
-→ 这是 patch，不是修复。`K` 是 magic number；boilerplate 的 hash 数量大于 `K / sticky_bonus` 时仍 cold。
-
-### 2.5 真正的修复（路线图 §S5）
-
-把 `overlap` 重新定义为 **"该 session 在该 D 上独占 prefix 的 hash 数"**：
-
-```
-exclusive_overlap(s, d) := |prefix_hashes(s) ∩ resident[d] ∩ session_owned[s]|
-```
-
-其中 `session_owned[s]` 排除其它 session 也持有的 hash。Boilerplate 共享 hash 不进 `exclusive_overlap`，score 自然分散。需要 D 端在 `admit_direct_append` 响应里返回 per-session resident hash 集合的 sketch（Bloom filter / minhash）。
-
----
-
-## 3. C — Evict storm（session-level eviction）
-
-### 3.1 症状
-
-- 在 D 内存有压力的 workload 下，每 1–2 分钟出现 30–90K tokens 的 KV pool 释放峰
-- 紧随其后的同 session 请求触发 `Reseed`：P 重 prefill 50K + mooncake transfer 50K（3–7s）
-- TTFT 长尾完全由这类 reseed 主导（[V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS_ZH.md](V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS_ZH.md) §3.2）
-
-### 3.2 根因
-
-`SessionAwareCache.release_session` 一次性 `free([cache_protected_len, kv_allocated_len))`——即整段 session-exclusive 尾部。E3 实测：90 次 evict、平均一次 free 67,726 tokens、25/50 session 受影响（[KVC_EVICTION_GRANULARITY_DESIGN_ZH.md](KVC_EVICTION_GRANULARITY_DESIGN_ZH.md) §0）。
-
-→ 与 SGLang 标准 radix 的 leaf-by-leaf 渐进 evict 形成鲜明对比。这部分 KV 从未进 radix，所以享受不到 LRU 的细粒度蚕食。
-
-### 3.3 触发条件
-
-- D KV pool 接近满
-- `maybe_trim_decode_session_cache` 被 scheduler 触发（在 `DecodePreallocQueue` 检测到 `available_size() <= 0` 时）
-
-### 3.4 当前缓解
-
-- `--kvcache-session-soft-cap=N`（main 分支）：限制 D 上常驻 session 数 → 提前 trim，避免顶到爆
-- `--kvcache-direct-max-uncached-tokens=8192`（v2）：降低 direct path 吃 KV 的速度
-
-→ 都是放慢节奏，没有解决"单次 free 太大"的根本问题。
-
-### 3.5 真正的修复（路线图 §S1）
-
-[BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md](BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md)：让 streaming-session decode 输出每 turn finish 时 `inner.cache_finished_req` 进 radix → `release_session` 退化为 `dec_lock_ref` + 删 slot → radix LRU 按 24-token leaf 蚕食。
-
-预期：单次 evict 从 67K 降到 ≤ 500 tokens；reseed 频次降一个数量级。
-
----
-
-## 4. C' — Reseed storm（turn 1 大 seed 并发）
-
-### 4.1 症状
-
-- workload 起步阶段（前 30–60s）所有 session 同时打 turn 1
-- 多个并发 `Seed`（每个 ~50–90K tokens）打 mooncake → 与 §1 cascade 重合
-
-### 4.2 根因
-
-`KvAwarePolicy` 启动阶段 `resident[d]` 全空，所有 D score 相同，但 ε 重试 + per-trial admit 不阻止并发。
-
-### 4.3 触发条件
-
-- trace `time_scale=1` 重放下，session 在原始到达密度内同时启动
-- 没有 per-D pending-seed 限流
-
-### 4.4 当前缓解
-
-- `--kvcache-seed-min-turn-id=2`：跳过 turn 1 seed 完全（main 分支 stable 配置）
-- 副作用：失去 turn-1 的 KV 注入，turn 2 必走 reseed（但反而稳定，因为 reseed 是分散在时间上的）
-
-### 4.5 真正的修复
-
-- per-D pending-seed budget（同 §1.5 第 2 项）
-- §3.5 完成后 evict 频次自降，间接降低 reseed 频次
-
----
-
-## 5. D — Streaming-session correction invariant crash (E3 landmine)
-
-### 5.1 症状
-
-- D scheduler 抛 `AssertionError` at `schedule_batch.py:1646`：`seq_len - pre_len == req.extend_input_len`
-- 整个 D worker 进程退出 → router 看见对端死 → §1 cascade
-
-### 5.2 根因
-
-[E3_FINDINGS_ZH.md](E3_FINDINGS_ZH.md) §2：streaming-session correction（commit b8e6f13）把 `extend_input_len` 改写为 `max(0, fill_len - prefix_len)`，但下游 invariant 还从原始 fill_ids/prefix_indices 计算。当 `fill_len < prefix_len`（多 turn 累积 prefix > 当前 turn 增量）时数学上不可能满足。
-
-### 5.3 触发条件
-
-- streaming session 跨 turn 已 commit prefix 长于本 turn 的新增 fill_ids
-- E2 因 pipeline 阻塞从未跑到这个状态；E3 修了 cold-D bottleneck → pipeline 更快 → landmine 暴露
-
-### 5.4 当前缓解
-
-commit 986f351 的 pre-filter pass：在 `prepare_for_extend` 入口 drop 这类 req（让 client 看错误响应而不是 worker 崩）。是止血。
-
-### 5.5 真正的修复
-
-`schedule_batch.py:1572–1646` 这整段 correction 路径在 block-level eviction refactor 完成后**结构上不再需要**——[BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md](BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md) §3.7 已说明 refactor 后 fill_ids / prefix_indices 一致性由 radix `match_prefix` 自动保证。
-
-→ 不要再加更多 correction 子句；要删整段。
-
----
-
-## 6. 失败诊断 cheat sheet
-
-跑 sweep 时按下表 lookup：
-
-| 你看到 | 大概率是 | 先查 |
-|---|---|---|
-| 客户端 `RuntimeError: generate stream ended before...` | §1 cascade | D scheduler log 搜 `instance could be dead` |
-| 某个 D `binding=0` 而其它 D 繁忙 | §2 cold-D | `per_decode_load` 直方图 |
-| TTFT p99 突然抬到 5–8s 量级 | §3 evict storm | `release_session` 调用频次 + 平均 free tokens |
-| Sweep 起步阶段失败率高、稳态低 | §4 reseed storm | mooncake transfer queue 在前 30s 的峰值 |
-| D worker 进程异常退出 | §5 invariant crash | scheduler log 搜 `AssertionError`、`extend_input_len` |
-
----
-
-## 7. 与路线图的衔接
-
-- [AUDIT_AND_ROADMAP_ZH.md](AUDIT_AND_ROADMAP_ZH.md) Milestone 1 的第 1/3/4 项分别对应本表 C / A / B 的真正修复。完成 Milestone 1 后本表 §1–§4 应该都从"未修"降级为"已缓解"，§5 直接消失。
-- 论文 §Limitations 必须老实写出现状："we identify five failure modes; A/C are addressed by this work, B/C' are partially addressed, D is a transient artifact of the in-progress refactor."
-
----
-
-**核心句**：把失败模式当 first-class artifact 来管理——每个失败都有"症状 → 根因 → 触发 → 缓解 → 真正修复"五字段，是把 prototype 推到 production-grade 的关键工具。reviewer 看见你能枚举失败远比看见你赢得 baseline 更让人信服。

-## 2. 按角色推荐阅读路径
-
-### 2.1 我是新接手的 SWE/research agent
-
-1. 先读本文 §0 的 3 篇。
-2. 再看 [AUDIT_AND_ROADMAP_ZH.md](AUDIT_AND_ROADMAP_ZH.md) §3（薄弱点）+ §5（GPU-free 工作清单）。
-3. 选一个 Milestone 1 子项开始做。`docs/BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md` 与 `docs/D_TO_P_SYNC_CONTRACT_ZH.md` 是已经准备好的两条工程主线。
-
-### 2.2 我是 paper reviewer / 审稿预读
-
-1. [KVC_ROUTER_ALGORITHM.md](KVC_ROUTER_ALGORITHM.md)：算法 + theorem。
-2. [V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS_ZH.md](V2_DEEP_ANALYSIS_ZH.md)：核心实测对比 + 我们自己识别的 limitation。
-3. [E1_E2_RESULTS_ZH.md](E1_E2_RESULTS_ZH.md)：真硬件 + RDMA 上的 ablation（含 E2 的 80% failure forensic，证明我们能解释失败）。
-4. [AUDIT_AND_ROADMAP_ZH.md](AUDIT_AND_ROADMAP_ZH.md) §3：我们自己列出的薄弱点与未来工作（不藏问题）。
-
-### 2.3 我是要复现实验的 student
-
-1. [H200_DRIVER570_SETUP_ZH.md](H200_DRIVER570_SETUP_ZH.md)。
-2. [EVALUATION_PROTOCOL_ZH.md](EVALUATION_PROTOCOL_ZH.md)：跑哪些 sweep、按什么协议比较。

-
-### 2.4 我想看 control plane 与 admission
-
-1. `src/agentic_pd_hybrid/policies.py`：`KvAwarePolicy.select` 是 Algorithm 1 的实现。
-2. `src/agentic_pd_hybrid/replay.py`：`_invoke_session_direct` / `_invoke_kvcache_seeded_router` 是 Algorithm 3 的 orchestration。
-3. `third_party/sglang/python/sglang/srt/managers/scheduler.py`：D 端 `_admit_direct_append` 是 Algorithm 2 实现。

-# Vendored SGLang Patch — 归类清单
-
-**日期**：2026-05-13
-**基线**：clean SGLang v0.5.10 snapshot @ `bded083`
-**当前 HEAD**：`origin/h200-cu130` + 本分支 (785 行新增 / 17 行删除 / 10 文件)
-**目的**：让 reviewer 与下一个合作者一眼看清"哪些 patch 是核心机制、哪些是 workaround、哪些可以在 refactor 后下线"。对应 [AUDIT_AND_ROADMAP_ZH.md](AUDIT_AND_ROADMAP_ZH.md) §3.2 / §S6 的工程债项。
-
----
-
-## 0. TL;DR
-
-| 分类 | 文件数 | 行数（估） | 命运 |
-|---|---:|---:|---|
-| MUST-HAVE — 核心机制（Algorithm 1/2/3、streaming session lifecycle、admit RPC） | 6 | ~450 | 长期保留，是 paper claim 的核心 |
-| WORKAROUND — 已识别的 latent 问题修补，应在 refactor 后下线 | 2 | ~150 | block-level eviction refactor 完成后大量删除 |
-| EXPERIMENTAL — 未闭环的特性，论文不依赖 | 1 | ~60 | 可下线或保留为 future-work hook |
-| INSTRUMENTATION — 诊断 / 日志 | 1 | ~50 | 保留但应隔离到 debug build |
-| MINOR — 杂项 | 1 | ~3 | 不影响决策 |
-
-**关键指引**：当 block-level eviction refactor（[BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md](BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md)）完成时，WORKAROUND 类的 ~150 行应同步删除。E3 触发的 `schedule_batch.py` invariant landmine 是这条路径上的产物，不修引擎而是修 evict 粒度才是正解。
-
----
-
-## 1. 文件粒度清单
-
-### 1.1 `mem_cache/session_aware_cache.py` — MUST-HAVE *（待 refactor）*
-
-| 项目 | 内容 | 引入 | 分类 |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `SessionSlot` dataclass | streaming session 跨 turn 复用 KV 的 metadata | b8e6f13 | MUST-HAVE |
-| `last_access_time` 字段 | LRU 决策需要 | 6e5ed8d | MUST-HAVE |
-| `match_prefix` / `cache_finished_req` / `cache_unfinished_req` 的 streaming 分支 | session 复用快路径 | b8e6f13 | **MUST-HAVE → 待 refactor**（block-level evict 后语义大改） |
-| `release_session` 直接 `free(kv_indices)` | session 退出时一次性归还 KV | b8e6f13 | **WORKAROUND → 替换**（refactor 后改为只 `dec_lock_ref`） |
-| `slot_held_tokens` / `get_session_status` / `list_session_statuses` | 状态查询 | 6e5ed8d | MUST-HAVE |
-
-**说明**：本文件是 KVC 设计的中枢。block-level eviction refactor（[BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md](BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md) §3.1–§3.6）改造的就是这里。`SessionSlot` 的 5 个 KV-ownership 字段（`req_pool_idx` / `kv_committed_len` / `kv_allocated_len` / `cache_protected_len` / `swa_evicted_seqlen`）应在 refactor 后删除；这部分**将由 commit message 单独标记**，方便回滚。
-
-### 1.2 `managers/scheduler.py` — 混合类别
-
-D worker 端的 Algorithm 2 实现，含多个独立 patch。按行级归类：
-
-| 函数 / 行段 | 内容 | 分类 | 何时可下线 |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `admit_direct_append(...)` | Algorithm 2 的 D 端 admission RPC handler | **MUST-HAVE** | 不下线（论文核心） |
-| `_should_allow_local_prefill_on_decode(req)` | 决定 decode worker 是否接受无 bootstrap 的本地 append-prefill | **MUST-HAVE** | 不下线 |
-| `_decode_session_cache_low_watermark_tokens()` | 水位线参数读取 | **WORKAROUND** | block-level evict 后由 radix LRU 取代 |
-| `_decode_session_cache_target_available_tokens()` | 目标可用 token 数计算 | **WORKAROUND** | 同上 |
-| `maybe_trim_decode_session_cache(...)` | 主动 trim session（触发 `release_session`） | **WORKAROUND** | 同上：refactor 后 radix LRU 自然蚕食，trim 不再必要 |
-| `_compute_backpressure_pause_hint(...)` | 给 router 的 pause 提示 | **EXPERIMENTAL** | 信号未闭环（[REAL_ALI_KVC_EXPERIMENT_LOG_ZH.md](../docs/archive/) §4.3），路线图 §S10；可保留为 future work hook |
-| `_compute_pool_breakdown_for_diagnostics()` | 池状态快照供 `/server_info` | **INSTRUMENTATION** | 长期保留但建议门 flag 化 |
-
-### 1.3 `managers/schedule_batch.py` — WORKAROUND（待删除）
-
-| 项目 | 内容 | 引入 | 分类 |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| streaming-session `extend_input_len` correction (lines ~1572–1585) | 在 fill_ids < prefix_indices 时把 extend_input_len 改为 0 | b8e6f13 | **WORKAROUND** |
-| pre-filter pass dropping `fill_ids < prefix_indices` reqs | E3 触发 assertion 后的 hotfix（commit 986f351） | 986f351 | **WORKAROUND** |
-| invariant assert `seq_len - pre_len == req.extend_input_len` 的容忍逻辑 | 与 correction 配套 | b8e6f13 | **WORKAROUND** |
-
-**全部** ~85 行在 block-level eviction refactor 完成后**应整体删除**——`BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH §3.7` 已说明 refactor 后该不变量结构上必然成立，correction 路径无需存在。E3 的 landmine ([E3_FINDINGS_ZH.md](E3_FINDINGS_ZH.md) §2) 是该 workaround 的产物。
-
-### 1.4 `managers/session_controller.py` — MUST-HAVE
-
-| 项目 | 内容 | 分类 |
-|---|---|---|
-| streaming session lifecycle hooks（open / close / admit signal） | 让 P/D worker 知道何时开始 / 结束一个 streaming session | MUST-HAVE |
-| session ID 路由 | 让 admission RPC 找到正确的 SessionSlot | MUST-HAVE |
-
-不下线。
-
-### 1.5 `managers/io_struct.py` — MUST-HAVE
-
-| 项目 | 内容 | 分类 |
-|---|---|---|
-| `AdmitDirectAppendReqInput` / `AdmitDirectAppendReqOutput` | admit RPC 的请求 / 响应消息类型 | MUST-HAVE |
-| backpressure pause hint 字段 | 同上消息的 optional 字段 | EXPERIMENTAL |
-
-可以把 EXPERIMENTAL 字段折叠到 MUST-HAVE 消息里保持兼容；本身不构成下线压力。
-
-### 1.6 `managers/tokenizer_communicator_mixin.py` — MUST-HAVE
-
-admit RPC 的 communicator-side glue。19 行，不下线。
-
-### 1.7 `entrypoints/http_server.py` — MUST-HAVE
-
-`/admit_direct_append` HTTP endpoint 注册。6 行。
-
-### 1.8 `disaggregation/decode.py` — 混合类别
-
-| 项目 | 内容 | 分类 |
-|---|---|---|
-| `DecodeReqToTokenPool`: `assert len(reusing) <= 1` 放宽 | 让 local append-prefill 在一个 batch 里复用多个 req_pool_idx | **MUST-HAVE** |
-| `DecodePreallocQueue` 引入 `refresh_allocatable_tokens` + `maybe_trim_decode_session_cache` 触发 | pool 满时主动 trim session | **WORKAROUND**（refactor 后改由 radix LRU 自然 shed） |
-| `--disaggregation-decode-allow-local-prefill` flag | 服务端 opt-in 本地 append-prefill | **MUST-HAVE** |
-
-trim 触发逻辑 ~30 行在 refactor 后应删除。
-
-### 1.9 `server_args.py` — MUST-HAVE
-
-| 项目 | 内容 | 分类 |
-|---|---|---|
-| `--radix-eviction-policy priority` 选项 | E1/E2 实验需要 | MUST-HAVE |
-| `--disaggregation-decode-allow-local-prefill` flag | 见 §1.8 | MUST-HAVE |
-
-13 行，全部是 CLI 接口扩展，不下线。
-
-### 1.10 `disaggregation/mooncake_transfer_engine.py` — MINOR
-
-3 行小调整。不构成决策点。
-
----
-
-## 2. 按分类汇总
-
-### 2.1 MUST-HAVE（保留）
-
-约 6 个文件、450 行：
-- `admit_direct_append` 主链路（Algorithm 2）：scheduler + io_struct + tokenizer_communicator_mixin + http_server + session_controller
-- `SessionSlot` 主链路（streaming session lifecycle）：session_aware_cache 多数字段、session_controller
-- CLI / server interface：server_args、decode.py 的 `allow_local_prefill`
-
-### 2.2 WORKAROUND（block-level evict refactor 后删除）
-
-约 2.5 个文件、150 行：
-- `session_aware_cache.release_session` 的 token-free 路径
-- `scheduler.py` 的 `_decode_session_cache_*_watermark_tokens` + `maybe_trim_decode_session_cache`
-- `schedule_batch.py` streaming-session correction + drop-pre-filter（含 E3 landmine 的 hotfix）
-- `decode.py` `DecodePreallocQueue` 中的 trim 触发
-
-→ 这些 patch 的存在是当前架构的产物；refactor 后应整段删除而不是修小 bug。
-
-### 2.3 EXPERIMENTAL（未闭环）
-
-约 60 行：
-- backpressure pause hint（`_compute_backpressure_pause_hint` + io_struct 字段）：可作为未来 control-plane 反馈机制的 hook 保留；若 1 个月后仍未接通，下线
-
-### 2.4 INSTRUMENTATION（长期保留但门 flag 化）
-
-约 50 行：
-- `_compute_pool_breakdown_for_diagnostics` + 相关 `/server_info` 字段：建议加 `--enable-diagnostic-pool-snapshot` flag，避免 prod 路径背诊断开销
-
-### 2.5 MINOR
-
-约 3 行：忽略。
-
----
-
-## 3. 维护约定
-
-1. **新加 SGLang 改动必须落到本表**：在 commit message 用 `feat(sglang): ...` / `fix(sglang): ...` 前缀，并在 PR 描述声明落到 §2 哪一类。
-2. **不直接覆盖 upstream 文件**：所有 patch 必须可在 v0.5.10 上 git apply（保留 hunk header 整洁）。
-3. **删除 WORKAROUND 时同步删 doc**：refactor 完成的同一个 PR 应把本文表中对应行划掉。
-4. **不下放 EXPERIMENTAL 到主路径**：未闭环的 patch 必须默认 disabled。
-
----
-
-## 4. 与路线图的衔接
-
-- Milestone 1（[AUDIT_AND_ROADMAP_ZH.md](AUDIT_AND_ROADMAP_ZH.md) §4）执行 block-level eviction refactor 时，**整段 §2.2 应该消失**——这是衡量 refactor 完成度的客观指标。
-- Milestone 2 把 control plane 拆层（§4.8）时，§2.3 backpressure pause hint 应或被启用、或被下线，不允许悬挂。
-- Milestone 3 引入 learning-based admission（§4.15）时，§2.1 的 `admit_direct_append` 接口应保持稳定，policy 替换在 router 侧而非 D 侧。
-
----
-
-**核心句**：vendored SGLang 的 785 行不是 monolithic 黑箱——三分之二是核心机制（论文必备），三分之一是当前架构的 workaround（refactor 后可整段删）。reviewer 看到本表能立刻判断"哪些是 paper 的真贡献、哪些是 prototype 当前的临时支撑"。

+# SnapshotStore 重构（解决 P-side alloc-failed 死局）
+
+**日期**：2026-05-13
+**Status**：设计阶段，开始实施
+**根因**：`docs/E4_VS_E1_RESULTS_ZH.md` §3 + E4-v4/v5 forensic 显示 D→P sync 167 次尝试 0 OK，全部因 `prepare_receive` 试图从 `token_to_kv_pool_allocator.alloc(N)` 拿 N 个 slot 而 P 的池被自己 prefill 工作占满
+
+---
+
+## 0. TL;DR
+
+- 当前 P-side `prepare_receive` 用 `token_to_kv_pool_allocator.alloc(N)` 抢 kv_pool slot —— 跟 P 自己的 prefill 工作直接争抢资源 → 90%+ 时间 alloc-failed
+- 重构方向：**P-side 用独立 GPU buffer 接收 snapshot**，与 kv_pool 解耦
+- 在 finalize_ingest 时才把 snapshot bytes copy 进 kv_pool slots（此时可以等更优的时机）
+- ~250 LOC 新代码，主要在 `disaggregation/snapshot/controller.py`
+
+---
+
+## 1. 当前实现的死局
+
+```
+prepare_receive(sid, num_tokens=50000):
+    indices = self.token_to_kv_pool_allocator.alloc(50000)
+    if indices is None:
+        return ok=False, reason="alloc-failed"   ← 90%+ 时间走这里
+    return slot_indices = indices.tolist()
+```
+
+`alloc(50000)` 在 P 池中找 50000 个 contiguous 空 slot。当 P 正在 prefill 自己的 request 时（这是 P 的常态），池里大部分 slot 被锁定 → 找不出 50K 个空闲的 → fail.
+
+E4-v5 167 次 sync 尝试统计：
+- 148 个 alloc-failed（**88%**）
+- 19 个 session-not-resident（D 端已 evict）
+- 0 个 OK

+
+## 3. 关键 design choices
+
+| 决策 | 选择 | 原因 |
+|---|---|---|
+| Snapshot buffer 存哪 | GPU memory | 与 D RDMA 目标对称（D 端 KV 也在 GPU），避免 host↔device 拷贝 |
+| 默认大小 | **8 GB** | Qwen3-30B 一个 ~50K-token session 的 KV ~5 GB；8 GB 让我们至少 hold 一个 + 部分备份 |
+| 分配粒度 | 单次 contiguous 一个 session 全部 KV | 简化 slab allocator + 单次 batch transfer |
+| Layout | K-all-layers concat, then V-all-layers concat | 跟 mooncake 的 batch_transfer 接口对齐 |
+| Free 策略 | finalize 后立即 free | 当 snapshot 已 ingest 到 kv_pool，snapshot_buf 副本不再需要 |
+| 满了怎么办 | prepare_receive 返回 ok=False, reason=snapshot-buf-full | 让 caller fall back 到 re-prefill |
+
+---
+
+## 4. 接口变化
+
+### 4.1 SnapshotPrepareReceiveReqOutput
+
+旧：
+```
+k_base_ptrs: List[int]   # 各 layer 的 k_buffer.data_ptr()
+v_base_ptrs: List[int]
+slot_indices: List[int]  # kv_pool 中分配的 slot
+stride_k_bytes / stride_v_bytes
+```
+
+新：
+```
+snapshot_buf_base_ptr: int  # snapshot_buf.data_ptr()
+k_layer_offsets: List[int]  # 各 layer K 在 snapshot_buf 中的字节偏移
+v_layer_offsets: List[int]  # 各 layer V 偏移
+num_tokens: int
+stride_k_bytes / stride_v_bytes
+slab_handle: int            # opaque handle for finalize/abort
+```
+
+### 4.2 SnapshotFinalizeIngestReqInput
+
+旧：
+```
+session_id, token_ids, slot_indices
+```
+
+新：
+```
+session_id, token_ids, slab_handle   # P 用 handle 找到 record，再 alloc kv_pool + copy + insert
+```
+
+### 4.3 D-side push 逻辑（agentic）
+
+旧：D 算 src_slot[L] → dst_slot[L] mapping，batch_transfer
+
+新：D 算 src_slot[L] → snapshot_buf 中的 k_layer_offsets[L] / v_layer_offsets[L] mapping，batch_transfer。完全不需要 dst slot indices。
+
+---
+
+## 5. 实施步骤
+
+| # | 步骤 | LOC 估计 |
+|---|---|---:|
+| 1 | `SnapshotBufAllocator` 类（slab/bump allocator） | 80 |
+| 2 | `SnapshotLinkController.__init__` 加 snapshot_buf 分配 + 注册 | 30 |
+| 3 | 重写 `prepare_receive`、新加 `_compute_layer_offsets` | 60 |
+| 4 | 新加 `finalize_with_snapshot_buf` + 删旧的 `finalize_ingest` | 70 |
+| 5 | 修改 io_struct 字段 + 删旧字段 | 30 |
+| 6 | 修改 agentic `_attempt_d_to_p_sync` 用新字段 | 40 |
+| 7 | 改 mem leak check 计入 snapshot_buf | 5 |
+| 8 | 单元 smoke test | 50 |
+
+Total: ~365 LOC
+
+---
+
+## 6. 风险
+
+| 风险 | 缓解 |
+|---|---|
+| 8 GB GPU mem cost | 用户可配置；mem-fraction-static 已经留了 buffer |

+- [ ] `scripts/smoke_snapshot_sglang_integration.py` 跑通新接口（prepare_receive 不再 alloc-failed）
+- [ ] E4-v6 跑同样 trace，d-to-p-sync.jsonl 出现 OK 事件 ≥ 30%（vs 当前 0%）

+**核心句**：用 GPU 上独立的 snapshot_buf 接收 D 端推送，把"竞争 P kv_pool"这个根本性 alloc 冲突消掉，把 alloc 决策推迟到 finalize 时机，让 D→P 真正有机会跑通。

-"""Paired latency comparison with bootstrap CI.
-
-Implements docs/EVALUATION_PROTOCOL_ZH.md §2.2 (M2 fix): when comparing
-mechanism A vs B on the same trace, the only honest comparison is paired
-on same-trial-mask. This script joins two metrics.jsonl by request_id,
-keeps the rows where BOTH sides succeeded, and reports paired deltas
-with 95% bootstrap CIs.
-
-Out vs the existing `compare_no_error.py`:
-  - works on raw metrics.jsonl, not pre-aggregated summary.json
-  - bootstrap CIs (not just point estimates)
-  - reports paired-mask size + per-side failure counts so the reader
-    sees how many rows were dropped from the comparison
-
-Usage:
-  scripts/analysis/paired_compare.py \
-      --baseline outputs/run-dp/request-metrics.jsonl \
-      --candidate outputs/run-kvc/request-metrics.jsonl
-  scripts/analysis/paired_compare.py ... --bootstrap 5000 --seed 42
-  scripts/analysis/paired_compare.py ... --json > paired.json
-
-stdlib only — no scipy/numpy. Runs without GPU and without SGLang.

-"""Stratified latency / TTFT reporter for paper-quality evaluation.
-
-Implements docs/EVALUATION_PROTOCOL_ZH.md §1.3 (M3 fix): every headline
-number must be accompanied by a stratified breakdown so reviewers can
-see which slice the gains come from.
-
-Buckets the request rows from one or more metrics.jsonl files along:
-  - turn_id        : {1, 2-5, 6-20, 21+}
-  - input_length   : {<=8K, 8K-64K, >64K}
-  - overlap_ratio  : {<=0.3, 0.3-0.7, >0.7}
-  - append_tokens  : input_length - observed_overlap_blocks * BLOCK_SIZE
-
-For each bucket, reports:
-  - n (total rows in bucket)
-  - n_ok (rows with no error and latency_s set)
-  - latency_s mean / p50 / p90 / p99
-  - ttft_s    mean / p50 / p90 / p99
-  - err_pct   (1 - n_ok/n)
-
-Usage:
-  scripts/analysis/stratified.py outputs/<run>/request-metrics.jsonl \
-      [outputs/<other-run>/request-metrics.jsonl ...]
-  scripts/analysis/stratified.py --dim turn_id outputs/<run>/request-metrics.jsonl

+"""End-to-end smoke for the SGLang snapshot link integration.
+
+Brings up TWO SGLang workers on this node (one acts as D, the other as P)
+with ``SGLANG_SNAPSHOT_LINK_ENABLE=1`` and exercises the three RPCs:
+
+    1. POST {P}/_snapshot/prepare_receive  → P allocates kv_pool slots
+    2. POST {D}/_snapshot/dump              → D RDMA-pushes session KV
+    3. POST {P}/_snapshot/finalize_ingest   → P inserts into radix tree
+
+To populate D's SessionAwareCache with a session, we first send a normal
+streaming-session generate request to D.
+
+After finalize, we send another generate request to P with the same prefix
+and check whether the report says cached_tokens > 0 (cache hit).
+
+This is a minimum-fidelity end-to-end smoke. It does NOT use the full
+agentic-pd-hybrid reseed orchestration; that's the next commit.

+"""Minimal D→P snapshot link over Mooncake RDMA.
+
+This module provides a thin wrapper around mooncake.engine.TransferEngine
+for one-sided RDMA writes of KV bytes from a Decode worker (sender) to a
+Prefill worker (receiver). It deliberately does NOT use the heavyweight
+MooncakeKVManager pipeline (which is tied to PREFILL/DECODE roles and
+chunked transfer protocols): we want a simple, testable byte transport
+that can be reused by SGLang and by stand-alone smoke tests.
+
+Layout:
+    SnapshotPeer        — engine + pre-registered receive buffer (receiver)
+                          or sender handle (sender)
+    SnapshotEndpoint    — what the receiver advertises so the sender can
+                          target it: (session_id, base_ptr, length)
+    SnapshotPusher      — sender-side: holds a target endpoint, calls
+                          batch_transfer_sync_write
+
+All transfers are SYNCHRONOUS, single-shot, in-memory.
+
+Higher layers add: control plane (how D learns P's endpoint), per-session
+slot allocation, KV format/layout, hand-off into SGLang scheduler.

-# Tests
-
-Pure-Python unit + property tests for the algorithm layer. These tests do
-**not** import SGLang and do **not** need a GPU — they validate the routing
-algorithm (Algorithm 1/2/3 in `docs/KVC_ROUTER_ALGORITHM.md`) and its
-theorems against the pure functions extracted from `policies.py`.
-
-## Run
-
-```bash
-uv sync --group test
-uv run pytest
-```
-
-Or, without uv:
-
-```bash
-pip install pytest
-PYTHONPATH=src pytest tests
-```
-
-## Scope
-
-- `test_policy_scoring.py` — Algorithm 1 lex-score properties (overlap
-  dominates sticky, load-floor gating, tie-breakers).
-- `test_no_starvation.py` — Theorem 1: bounded retries before some D either
-  accepts or the least-rejected D is forced through the degenerate path.
-
-Future:
-- block-level eviction `MockRadixCache` tests (see
-  `docs/BLOCK_LEVEL_EVICTION_DESIGN_ZH.md` §5).
-- D→P sync `staleness_budget` property tests (see
-  `docs/D_TO_P_SYNC_CONTRACT_ZH.md` §1).
-
-## Why no integration tests here
-
-Anything that needs SGLang, mooncake, or a real model is an integration
-test and must run on hardware. Those tests live as `scripts/sweep_*.sh`
-under the evaluation protocol in `docs/EVALUATION_PROTOCOL_ZH.md`.

+# Replay traces
+
+为了方便跨主机传输，把 benchmark 用到的 trace 文件放在这里。该目录在
+`.gitignore` 中显式 whitelist（同 `third_party/sglang/`），文件随 git 一起走。
+
+## 文件清单
+
+| 文件 | 大小 | 内容 | 来源 |
+|---|---:|---|---|
+| `qwen35-swebench-50sess.jsonl` | 54 MB | 4449 reqs / 52 sessions / Qwen3.5-35B 推理产物 | `simm-swe-bench` 项目用 SiBench replay SiCo `swe.jsonl` 经 SGLang 跑出 audit.jsonl，再用 `scripts/convert_audit_to_trace.py` 转 |
+
+详细来源见 `docs/ONBOARDING_NEXT_AGENT_ZH.md` 和实际 schema 见 `src/agentic_pd_hybrid/trace.py`。
+
+## 使用方法
+
+Replay 端的 trace 路径由 CLI flag `--trace` 指定。默认 sweep 脚本里指向
+`outputs/qwen35-swebench-50sess.jsonl`——为了向后兼容老脚本，**建议在 clone 后
+软链接一份过去**：
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p outputs
+ln -sf ../third_party/traces/qwen35-swebench-50sess.jsonl \
+       outputs/qwen35-swebench-50sess.jsonl
+```
+
+或者直接改 sweep 脚本里 `--trace` 路径指向 `third_party/traces/...`。
+
+## 添加新 trace
+
+如果未来加新 trace 文件（如 `codex_swebenchpro` 转换后的版本），直接放本目录，
+更新本 README 的清单即可。**别把超过 100 MB 的单文件直接 git add**——GitLab
+默认对未启用 LFS 的单文件有 100 MB 限制。
