Background

The InternVL failure behind #1053 reached protected model proof because Community CPU did not run every CPU-safe unit test. Impact analysis selected a narrow Python/C++ unit scope for model-owned changes, and CMake used a single label to represent both test ownership and hardware requirements. As a result, model-owned CPU producer/consumer contracts could exist without being part of the public premerge gate.

The incident also exposed a test-contract gap: the original InternVL unit called a family override directly. It did not exercise real bundle assembly and did not pass the emitted JSON through the strict C++ consumer, so it could not detect missing top-level runtime fields.

This PR contains only the CI/test-system correction split out of #1062. The family production fixes and family-owned regression tests were isolated in #1076, #1077, #1078, #1079, and #1080 and are now merged into main; none of their family-owned files remain in this diff.

Exit Criteria

  • Every non-empty pull request runs all Python tests and CTests declared CPU-safe on the public Community CPU runner.
  • Impact analysis remains selective only for GPU model-proof/E2E work.
  • Model ownership and CPU/GPU resource requirements are independent test dimensions.
  • GPU/TRT/E2E tests are excluded through audited markers, model-entrypoint contracts, or the two existing GPU-only unowned builder path exceptions.
  • Strict JSON top-level lookup and top-level runtime_tests TOML placement have permanent unit contracts.
  • No family production plugin or shared runtime behavior changes here.

Implementation

  • Run the Community CPU unit job unconditionally and in parallel with ownership/impact analysis using --scope all.
  • Make every non-empty impact result report the complete CPU unit scope while preserving the selective GPU model matrix.
  • Treat only fail-closed, semantically verified test-metadata edits as unit-only impact: runtime_tests TOML changes, pytest GPU/TRT/E2E markers, and family Python unit tests. Mixed production or test-semantic edits still select their direct model.
  • Add a trtmc_cpu_cpp_tests aggregate and label every CTest independently by owner (model or platform) and resource (cpu or gpu).
  • Run shared/tooling Python tests and model-family Python tests in isolated importlib collections, excluding explicit gpu, trt, e2e, and allocator markers. A recursive AST-discovered pass runs CPU contracts colocated in *_e2e.py while deselecting only each exact test_model_e2e node.
  • Correct missing resource markers, split Flux host-only contracts from its GPU pipeline test, and isolate SANA/MiniMax CPU mocks.
  • Pin PyArrow in the Community CPU image so the local Arrow streaming contract executes instead of being skipped for a missing optional dependency.
  • Preserve the two existing exact-path exclusions for unowned GPU-only builder suites; ownership policy requires moving those tests in a separate change rather than editing them from this CI PR.
  • Add shared JSON parser tests proving nested fields are not treated as top-level runtime fields, plus a TOML contract preventing runtime_tests from being hidden under another table.
  • Update contributor documentation and contract tests to state that all CPU-safe units are frontloaded.

Validation

Commands and Results

  • python3 -m tools.community_ci source-quality --base github/main on the rebased head: passed complexity, changed-file lint/formatting, and 160 architecture contracts.
  • python3 tools/model_ci.py impact --base github/main --head HEAD --platform-change-policy fallback ...: run_unit_tests=true, unit_scope=all, with 1 direct model and 5 fixed fallbacks instead of test-metadata-driven model fanout.
  • python3 -m tools.community_ci unit --scope all in the hardened GPU-free Community CPU container:
    • shared/builder/tooling Python: 3679 passed, 1 skipped;
    • model-tree Python: 2375 passed, 21 skipped;
    • family-package Python: 267 passed;
    • CPU contracts colocated with model E2E entrypoints: 16 passed;
    • allocator contracts: 20 passed, 142 deselected;
    • C++ CPU CTests: 133/133 passed;
    • CLI error-handling: 8 passed, 222 deselected.
  • Focused routing contracts: 176 passed.
  • Scope audit: 75 CI/test/metadata/documentation paths; no production plugin, shared runtime file, or file owned by the merged family fixes.

Hardware, Environment, and Revisions

  • Source head: 462a982823a3fb1e10e4fb5edbaf5a3bc8e1267a, based directly on github/main@e7e4236af391149a1ecd3e738b90dd7eaae48169.
  • Full validation used a normal local clone mounted into the pinned Linux aarch64 Community CPU container, with TensorRT/CUDA SDK libraries available but no GPU device.
  • The rebase also preserved fix(ci): pin internal dispatch snapshots #1075's bert_embedding runtime strategy alongside this PR's BERT pipeline REQUIRES_GPU declaration.

Not Run / Remaining Gaps

  • GPU model proofs were not run locally; they remain selective protected premerge evidence.
  • Community CPU intentionally omits one reflink filesystem contract because GitHub-hosted runners do not guarantee that filesystem capability; protected premerge retains it.
  • Two shared builder files are known GPU-only suites but remain exact-path exclusions until a separate ownership migration gives them a valid owner and explicit markers.
  • Protected attempt 1 exposed a policy-owned canonical-document boundary in root CONTRIBUTING.md; the final head removes that document from the diff.
  • Protected attempt 2 exposed path-based GPU impact over-selection and exceeded the Source bridge completion window without a bounded test-failure payload. The final head narrows the reproducible matrix to 1 direct plus 5 fallback models.
  • Protected attempt 3 passed the Source-visible TRTMC Internal CI / Automated premerge gate on exact head c7e55179d522d288f6d5ad4ec499290c7547a3eb; the selective model matrix completed 6/6 successfully.
  • The final review fix detects quoted nested runtime_tests keys through the parsed TOML tree. Rebased exact head 462a982823a3fb1e10e4fb5edbaf5a3bc8e1267a passed the Source-visible automated premerge gate with the selective model matrix completing 6/6 successfully.
  • Root CONTRIBUTING.md is a policy-controlled canonical document and is intentionally unchanged; its detailed CPU-scope wording requires a separate policy-owned update.
  • CTest resource labels apply to a whole test executable. Host-only assertions that share an executable with GPU cases must first be split into their own CPU target, as this PR does for Flux.

Notes For Future Readers

RCCA and mitigation

  • Root cause: the producer omitted family-owned top-level runtime metadata required by the strict C++ JSON consumer.
  • Escape: the unit test stopped at a direct Python hook call, while public premerge selected only a narrow unit subset and did not run model-owned CPU consumer contracts.
  • Detection: protected model proof was the first layer to execute the serialized bundle through the native runtime.
  • Prevention: each affected family now owns a mocked real-bundle producer test and a production C++ consumer test. This PR makes those CPU contracts non-selective for every pull request and permanently locks the shared JSON/TOML boundaries.

The public gate becomes broader only for lightweight CPU-safe unit tests. GPU model proofs remain selective because they are the expensive, model-specific evidence tier.

Risk level

  • Low
  • Medium
  • High

Risk rationale: production behavior is unchanged, but the required public CPU gate intentionally builds and runs a materially broader test set. Incorrect resource markers can fail premerge until corrected rather than silently skipping coverage.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 462a9

The PR broadens CPU premerge coverage, but its exact test-node exclusion may not work for class-scoped entrypoints, potentially causing an incompatible test to run in the CPU job and produce false failures; the existing marker filter limits the impact. Merge is reasonable with explicit follow-up on the exclusion logic.

252-326: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Extract the repeated pytest invocation into a helper.

Four invocations repeat the same 12 flags (-q, -x, -n, --dist=worksteal, --import-mode=importlib, -p no:cacheprovider, the marker expression, timeout, and environment). The marker expression is now duplicated four times, so a future change to the CPU marker contract must be applied in four places.

Run the complete CPU-safe C++ and Python suite for every pull request while keeping GPU model proofs selective.

Label GPU-only tests, isolate CPU mocks, and add JSON/TOML contracts so model-owned serialization regressions cannot escape premerge.
