Fix CI failures and simplify/stabilize the test suite

kevalmorabia97 · claude · kevalmorabia97 · commit 91997ff54b26 · 2026-06-03T04:42:42.000-07:00
- Add per-test timeouts via pytest-timeout, keyed by test dir (unit 60s,
  gpu/example/regression 300s), call-phase only; per-test overrides where a
  one-time CUDA JIT compile is expected.
- Pre-compile the conv3d implicit-GEMM CUDA kernel in a dedicated _extensions
  test so the build cost doesn't land on the first kernel test.
- Relocate tests to the lane that owns their dependency: rename the gpt-oss
  example test dir to match the example, move the vLLM sparse-attention plugin
  test to gpu_vllm (drop its importorskip), and guard the diffusers import in
  the partial-install unit lane.
- Fix the eagle example override (data.sample_size, not training.sample_size).
- Consolidate diffusers test model-path constants into a single SDXL_PATH and
  use tiny pipelines for the plumbing tests (incl. cache_diffusion); normalize
  local_id basenames.
- llm_sparsity hf_pts.py: reuse get_dataset_dataloader, honor --model_max_length,
  and left-pad for calibration.
- Skip the upstream-broken nemotron-sft-agentic-v2 gated smoke dataset.
