Document the iterative debugging from v1 (broken KVC) through v4
(routing fixed + session cap raised), with code-level analysis of
the two main bugs encountered:
1. v2 root cause (mis-diagnosed previously as `allow_local_prefill`):
`--policy default` for KVC mechanism caused replay's round-robin
policy and the PD router's round-robin to diverge, sending requests
with `session_params` to a D worker that did not have the session
open. Resulted in 56-61% truncation with finish_reason
"session id X does not exist".
Fix: use `--policy kv-aware` (sweep_tp1_v3_kvaware.sh) so replay
emits `x-smg-target-worker` and PD router uses consistent_hashing.
2. v3 new bottleneck: `pd-router-fallback-large-append-session-cap`
dominated 52-65% of requests. Root cause was hardcoded
`min(4, ...)` in `_decode_session_soft_cap`. With 7 D workers x 4
sessions = 28 slots for 52 trace sessions, ~24 sessions starved
permanently (bimodal direct-to-D rate of 0% or 99%).
Fix: raise the cap to 16 (replay.py).
Also includes the v3 finding that direct-to-d-session path P50=0.495s
and TTFT P50=0.043s already beats the 8-way DP baseline (0.65s/0.093s)
- the KVC core mechanism works when fallback paths are avoided.

Agentic PD Hybrid
这个项目是在 SGLang xPyD 上做一个最小实验框架，用来判断：
面向 agentic coding workload 的 session-aware / KV-cache-aware P/D routing，能不能降低端到端延迟。
更完整但仍然简洁的说明见 docs/PROJECT_OVERVIEW.md。
当前做了什么
- 启动单机 SGLang P/D 栈。
- 回放 Ali coding agent trace，并记录 request-level metrics。
- 支持
default、sticky、kv-aware路由策略。 - 支持
pd-disaggregation、kvcache-centric、pd-colo对比。 - 支持小 append、多轮 session 的 micro-benchmark trace。
- 维护了基于 SGLang
v0.5.10的本地 patch，放在third_party/sglang。
环境
统一使用 uv：
uv sync
默认模型路径：
~/models/Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct
当前主要测试环境是单机 8 GPU，约束是 prefill + decode <= 8。
常用命令
生成小 append trace：
uv run agentic-pd-hybrid make-small-append-trace \
--output outputs/smoke-hotcap-30k-1k-256.jsonl \
--session-count 4 \
--turns-per-session 3 \
--initial-input-length 30000 \
--append-input-length 1000 \
--output-length 256
跑 live benchmark：
uv run agentic-pd-hybrid benchmark-live \
--trace outputs/micro-serveable-varturn-30k-1k-256-20260424T0756Z.jsonl \
--output-root outputs/live-serveable-varturn-30k-1k-256-hotcap \
--mechanism kvcache-centric \
--policy kv-aware \
--kvcache-admission-mode worker \
--prefill-workers 1 \
--decode-workers 1 \
--prefill-gpu-ids 0 \
--decode-gpu-ids 1 \
--transfer-backend mooncake \
--target-duration-s 2000 \
--session-sample-rate 1.0 \
--min-turns 2 \
--time-scale 1 \
--concurrency-limit 1000
只回放并写 metrics：
uv run agentic-pd-hybrid replay \
--trace path/to/trace.jsonl \
--policy kv-aware \
--mechanism pd-disaggregation \
--router-url http://127.0.0.1:8000 \
--output outputs/replay.jsonl
输出
每次 replay/benchmark 会写：
- request metrics：
request-metrics.jsonl - 汇总结果：
request-metrics.jsonl.summary.json
重点看：
- E2E latency
- TTFT / TPOT
- execution mode
- cached tokens
- KV transfer blocks
- error
维护约定
- 项目代码改动：
