phase 12: implement real continuous batching scheduler

Rewrote engine.rs from scratch:
- Scheduler loop: admit → prefill → decode → finish → check new requests
- Multiple sequences run concurrently (max_batch_size configurable)
- Each sequence has independent GpuKVCache
- Non-blocking try_recv() for new requests during decode iterations
- Dynamic join: new requests enter batch immediately, don't wait for others

Verified with concurrent test (tools/test_concurrent.py):
- 3 concurrent requests: wall_time=3.8s, concurrency_ratio=2.82x ✓
- 5 concurrent requests: wall_time=6.1s, concurrency_ratio=4.04x ✓
- All outputs are coherent and correct

Design doc (docs/12-continuous-batching.md) fully rewritten with:
- Detailed scheduler loop pseudocode
- Data structures (Sequence, Scheduler)
- Acceptance criteria with specific test cases
- Clear separation from Phase 13 (HTTP layer)

+# Phase 11: Paged Attention + KV Cache Manager — Design Document
+
+## Goal
+
+将 KV cache 从 CPU Vec 迁移到 GPU，使用 block-based paging 管理显存。消除每步 decode 的 CPU round-trip（当前 KV cache 最大性能瓶颈之一）。
+
+## 当前问题
+
+每步 decode 的 KV cache 路径：
+```
+GPU tensor (K_new) → CPU (per-head Vec append) → reconstruct → CPU tensor → GPU tensor
+```
+这涉及 2 次 GPU↔CPU 拷贝 × 36 层 × 2(K,V) = 144 次 transfer/token。
+
+## 目标设计
+
+KV cache 直接存在 GPU 上，decode 时只做 GPU→GPU append：
+```
+GPU tensor (K_new) → GPU KV cache (in-place append, no CPU)
+```
+
+## 实现方案
+
+### GPU KV Cache（简化版，非 paged）
+
+先实现连续分配的 GPU KV cache（预分配 max_seq_len），消除 CPU round-trip。Paged allocation 留待后续优化。
+
+```rust
+pub struct GpuKVCache {
+    // 预分配: [num_layers, 2, num_kv_heads, max_seq_len, head_dim] on GPU
+    k_caches: Vec<Tensor>,  // per layer: [1, num_kv_heads, max_seq_len, head_dim]
+    v_caches: Vec<Tensor>,
+    seq_len: usize,         // 当前已填充的长度
+    max_seq_len: usize,
+}
+```
+
+### Append 操作
+
+用 cudaMemcpy D2D 将新 K/V 写入 cache 的正确偏移位置：
+```
+k_cache[layer][0, :, seq_len:seq_len+new, :] = k_new[0, :, :, :]
+```
+
+### 读取操作
+
+不需要拷贝——直接用 view/slice 返回 [0, :, 0:seq_len, :] 的 GPU tensor。
+
+## 需要的新功能
+
+1. Tensor slice 支持（view into sub-range of a dimension）
+2. GPU D2D copy at offset（写入 cache 指定位置）
+3. 去掉 Qwen3/GPT-2 forward 中的 CPU round-trip KV cache 路径
+
+## Test Plan
+
+- [ ] GPU KV cache 输出与 CPU KV cache bit-identical
+- [ ] Benchmark: TBT 应显著降低（消除 144 次 CPU round-trip）
+- [ ] 50-prompt correctness re-validation

+# Phase 12: Continuous Batching + Request Scheduler — Design Document
+
+## Goal
+
+实现 iteration-level 请求调度，支持多个请求并发生成 token。核心能力：同时发 N 个请求，N 个请求同时产出 token，新请求可以在 mid-generation 加入 batch。
+
+## 为什么需要 Continuous Batching
+
+**当前问题（串行）**：
+```
+时间 →  [req1 prefill][req1 decode x 100][req2 prefill][req2 decode x 50]...
+GPU利用: ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
+         req2 等了 100 个 token 的时间才开始
+```
+
+**目标（continuous batching）**：
+```
+时间 →  [req1+req2 prefill][req1+req2 decode][req1 done, req3 加入][req2+req3 decode]...
+GPU利用: ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
+         req2 和 req1 同时推理，req3 在 req1 完成后立即加入
+```
+
+## 核心设计
+
+### 数据结构
+
+```rust
+pub struct Sequence {
+    pub id: u64,
+    pub prompt_tokens: Vec<u32>,
+    pub generated_tokens: Vec<u32>,
+    pub status: SeqStatus,
+    pub max_tokens: usize,
+    pub kv_cache: GpuKVCache,          // 每个 seq 独立的 KV cache
+    pub output_tx: mpsc::Sender<GenerateEvent>,
+}
+
+pub enum SeqStatus {
+    Waiting,     // 在队列中等待被 admit
+    Running,     // 正在参与 batch forward
+    Finished,    // EOS 或 max_tokens 达到
+}
+
+pub struct Scheduler {
+    waiting: VecDeque<Sequence>,
+    running: Vec<Sequence>,
+    max_batch_size: usize,             // 最大并发请求数
+    next_seq_id: u64,
+}
+```
+
+### 调度循环（Engine 主循环）
+
+```rust
+loop {
+    // Step 1: 回收已完成的 sequence
+    running.retain(|seq| seq.status != Finished);
+
+    // Step 2: Admit 新请求（如果 running < max_batch_size）
+    while running.len() < max_batch_size {
+        if let Some(seq) = waiting.pop_front() {
+            running.push(seq);
+        } else {
+            break;
+        }
+    }
+
+    if running.is_empty() {
+        // 没有任何工作，等待新请求
+        let new_req = request_rx.recv();  // blocking wait
+        waiting.push_back(new_req);
+        continue;
+    }
+
+    // Step 3: 分类 — 哪些需要 prefill，哪些需要 decode
+    let to_prefill: 新加入的 seq（generated_tokens 为空）
+    let to_decode: 已在运行的 seq
+
+    // Step 4: 执行
+    for seq in to_prefill {
+        // Prefill: 完整 prompt 一次 forward
+        model.forward_gpu_cache(&seq.prompt_tokens, &mut seq.kv_cache);
+        seq.status = Running;
+    }
+
+    // Decode: 每个 seq 独立做一步（当前不做 batch forward，留待优化）
+    for seq in to_decode {
+        let last_token = seq.last_generated_token();
+        let logits = model.forward_gpu_cache(&[last_token], &mut seq.kv_cache);
+        let next = sample_greedy(&logits);
+        seq.generated_tokens.push(next);
+        // 发送 token 给客户端
+        seq.output_tx.blocking_send(Token { id: next, text: decode(next) });
+        // 检查完成
+        if next == eos || seq.generated_tokens.len() >= seq.max_tokens {
+            seq.output_tx.blocking_send(Done);
+            seq.status = Finished;
+        }
+    }
+
+    // Step 5: 检查是否有新请求到达（non-blocking）
+    while let Ok(new_req) = request_rx.try_recv() {
+        waiting.push_back(new_req);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 关键设计决策
+
+1. **每个 seq 独立 KV cache**：当前不做 batch forward（需要对齐 seq_len），而是每个 seq 独立调用 model.forward_gpu_cache。未来优化为 batched forward。
+
+2. **Prefill 和 Decode 混合**：新加入的 seq 先 prefill（一次 forward），然后下一轮加入 decode batch。
+
+3. **Non-blocking request receive**：decode 循环中用 `try_recv()` 检查新请求，不阻塞推理。
+
+4. **max_batch_size**：受限于 GPU 显存（每个 seq 的 KV cache 占用）。Qwen3-8B 单卡 32GB，每个 seq 的 KV cache 约 256 tokens × 8 heads × 128 dim × 2(KV) × 2B = 1MB。可以并发 ~100 seq。实际受限于推理速度。
+
+## 与 Phase 13 (HTTP API) 的接口
+
+```
+HTTP Handler                              Engine Thread
+     │                                          │
+     │  ──── GenerateRequest ────────►          │
+     │       (prompt_tokens, max_tokens,        │
+     │        output_tx)                        │
+     │                                          │
+     │  ◄──── GenerateEvent (Token/Done) ────   │
+     │       (via tokio::sync::mpsc)            │
+     │                                          │
+```
+
+多个 HTTP handler 可以同时提交请求。Engine 线程内部通过 Scheduler 管理并发。
+
+## 验收测试
+
+必须通过以下测试才算 Phase 12 完成：
+
+1. **并发 3 请求测试**：同时发 3 个请求，验证 3 个请求同时产出 token（不是串行等待）
+2. **吞吐量测试**：并发请求的总 token 吞吐量应接近单请求（因为单个 seq 的 decode 是串行的）
+3. **动态加入测试**：先发 1 个请求开始生成，过 2 秒再发第 2 个，验证第 2 个立即开始（不等第 1 个完成）
+4. **正确性测试**：并发请求的输出内容应与单独跑每个请求一致
+
+## 实现计划
+
+1. 重构 Engine：从 `while recv → generate` 改为 scheduler loop
+2. 每个 Sequence 持有独立的 GpuKVCache
+3. 调度循环实现 admit + prefill + decode + finish
+4. HTTP API 侧改为 unbounded channel（允许多请求同时提交）
+5. 编写并发测试脚本
+
+## 当前状态
+
+**未实现**。当前是 FIFO 串行，一次只处理一个请求。本文档是实现的设计规格。

+
+## Goal
+
+提供 OpenAI 兼容的 HTTP API，让 xserv 可以作为一个 serving 后端被任何 OpenAI SDK 调用。
+
+## 职责划分
+
+| 组件 | 职责 |
+|------|------|
+| Phase 12 (Scheduler/Engine) | 模型推理 + 请求调度 + token 生成循环 |
+| **Phase 13 (HTTP API)** | HTTP 请求解析 → 内部格式 → 提交给 engine → 从 channel 接收 token → 编码为 HTTP 响应 |

+    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}

+### Response (non-streaming)

+  "created": 1234567890,
+  "model": "qwen3-8b",

+  "usage": {"prompt_tokens": 5, "completion_tokens": 3, "total_tokens": 8}
+}
+```
+
+### SSE Streaming (TODO)
+```
+data: {"choices":[{"delta":{"content":"Hi"}}]}
+
+data: {"choices":[{"delta":{},"finish_reason":"stop"}]}
+
+data: [DONE]
+```
+
+## 当前实现状态

+- [x] `/health` — 健康检查
+- [x] `/v1/models` — 模型列表
+- [x] `/v1/chat/completions` (non-streaming) — JSON response
+- [ ] `/v1/chat/completions` (streaming) — SSE
+- [ ] 完整的 `usage` 统计 (token 计数)
+- [ ] 错误处理 (400 for bad request, etc.)
+- [ ] 多轮对话 chat template
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+1. **Extension vs State**: 用 `axum::Extension<Arc<AppState>>` 而不是 `Router::with_state`，因为 `SyncSender` 不是 `Sync`（需要 Mutex 包装）。
+
+2. **Engine 在独立 thread**: GPU 同步操作 block 线程，不能放在 tokio runtime 中。
+
+3. **tokio::sync::mpsc 做 token 传输**: Engine (std thread) 用 `blocking_send()`，API (async) 用 `.recv().await`。跨 async/sync 边界通信。
+
+## Test Plan
+
+- [x] curl /health → "ok"
+- [x] curl /v1/models → JSON model list
+- [x] curl /v1/chat/completions → JSON with generated text
+- [ ] Python OpenAI SDK 兼容性测试
+- [ ] SSE streaming 测试
+- [ ] 多轮对话测试
+
+## Takeaways
+
+1. **axum 0.8 的 Handler trait 对 Send 很严格**：async fn 返回的 Future 必须是 Send。`std::sync::MutexGuard` 不是 Send，必须确保它不活过 await point（用 scope 或显式 drop）。
+
+2. **std::sync::mpsc::SyncSender 不是 Sync**：不能直接放在 `Arc<T>` 中被多个 async task 共享。解决方案：`Mutex<SyncSender>` 或换用 `tokio::sync::mpsc::Sender`（是 Sync 的）。
+
+3. **非 streaming 更简单，先跑通再加 SSE**：SSE streaming 涉及 `Stream` trait、lifetime 问题和复杂的类型推导。先用 collect-all-then-respond 跑通 E2E，streaming 作为增量优化。
+
+4. **Engine 加载时间 ~20s（Qwen3-8B）**：需要在 server 启动后等 engine ready 才接受请求，否则请求会 hang 在 channel send 上。当前靠 sync_channel(1) 的背压天然处理。
