Subject: [PATCH 03/23] [Refactor] Switch gradient checkpointing to the
 non-reentrant implementation

The decoder layers pinned `CheckpointImpl.REENTRANT`, whose autograd.Function
only tracks gradients for top-level torch.Tensor arguments. That restriction
shaped the surrounding code: `_check_signature_of_forward` existed to fail early
on any other signature, decoder layers had to take hidden states as varargs and
return a flat positional tuple, and the domino EP path had to be re-derived from
tuple slices at every consumer.

Move `checkpoint_wrapper` onto `torch.utils.checkpoint.checkpoint` with
`use_reentrant=False`. Because it is built on saved-tensor hooks, gradients flow
through arbitrary forward signatures, so:

- decoder layers (dense and MoE), MTP layers and the MTP block now return
  TypedDicts keyed by output name instead of positional tuples, and take
  micro-batch inputs as a list rather than varargs;
- `_check_signature_of_forward` and its test are deleted.

`apply_gradient_checkpointing` takes a `context_fn` seam for the upcoming
selective checkpointing work. It is only passed through when set: dynamo lowers
`checkpoint` to a higher-order op that rejects an explicit `context_fn`, so a
compiled layer must not receive one.

The MTP layers keep the reentrant path behind the existing
`mtp_checkpoint_use_reentrant` switch, now spelled
`apply_legacy_reentrant_checkpointing`; DSA top-k cache sharing across MTP depths
still depends on the grad-free original pass.

Verified on torch 2.10 / 4x H200 against a no-recompute baseline, MoE ep_size=4,
intra_layer_micro_batch=2, all2all, 8 layers, seq 4096, bf16:

-# NOTE:
-# PyTorch's `torch.distributed.algorithms._checkpoint.checkpoint_wrapper` has some limitations. Modules decorated with `checkpoint_wrapper`
-# must have forward interfaces that conform to the specifications of `torch.autograd.function.Function`.
-# Specifically, for input parameters, the `forward` interface must explicitly accept parameters of type `torch.Tensor` to ensure proper gradient backpropagation.
-# For return values, the `forward` interface must return either `torch.Tensor` or tuple[torch.Tensor, ...].
-# For example If the forward interface is declared as:
-# def forward(self, x: tuple[torch.Tensor], y: list[torch.Tensor]) -> torch.Tensor | tuple[torch.Tensor, ...]:
-# This interface will break the gradient graph because the inputs don't meet the requirements. For instance, x and y are not of type `torch.Tensor`
-# `_check_signature_of_forward` will check (not exhaustively) whether the signature of the `forward` interface meets the requirements to identify issues early.

Subject: [PATCH 04/23] [Feature] Add the shared contract for region-level
 selective checkpointing

Introduces the vocabulary the selective-checkpointing (SAC) layers agree on:
`RecomputeUnit`, the user-facing semantic units of activation that may stay
resident; `MarkerInterval` / `RecomputeIntervalMap`, the per-model declaration
of how each unit maps to marker intervals; and `checkpoint_record`, the
imperative marker model authors place in forward.

`checkpoint_record` is a documented no-op stub here. The contextvars session
behind it, the per-op policy, and the config resolution that turns user
selections into intervals land with the SAC engine and the config layer.

Subject: [PATCH 05/23] [Fix] Make checkpoint_record safe inside
 fullgraph-compiled forwards

The marker session is backed by contextvars, which Dynamo cannot trace. Reading
a ContextVar inside a `fullgraph=True` region is a hard compile error rather
than a graph break, and xtuner compiles `_pre_moe_forward`, `MoEBlock.forward`,
`_shared_experts_forward`, `_post_moe_forward` and (in the non-EP config)
`MoEDecoderLayer.forward` that way -- so any marker placed in those methods
would break compilation once the session lands.

Return early on `torch.compiler.is_compiling()`. Dynamo constant-folds the
check, so the body never enters the graph.

Subject: [PATCH 06/23] [Fix] Keep MTP gradients and the DSA top-k lifecycle
 correct under the new checkpointing

Two silent regressions surfaced by tests/engine/test_glm52_moe_train_engine.py,
which needs GLM5_2_TINY_MOE_PATH and was therefore not covered before. Both
produce a finite loss, so every existing assertion still passed.

1. Reentrant `CheckpointFunction` cannot carry gradients through a non-tensor
   return. Once `MTPLayer.forward` started returning a TypedDict, its outputs
   came back from the grad-free original pass without a `grad_fn` and the MTP
   subgraph was detached from the loss: every mtp_block parameter ended with
   `grad is None` (base: 19 with non-zero grads) while mtp_loss stayed finite.
   The pytree reentrant wrapper already flattened inputs so the autograd
   boundary could see tensors nested in containers; flatten the outputs the same
   way and rebuild the structure outside the checkpoint.

2. DSA cross-layer top-k sharing recognizes a checkpoint's original pass by grad
   being disabled, which only the reentrant implementation provides. Under the
   non-reentrant one both passes run with grad enabled, so `checkpoint_active`
   was never set, `after_recompute_release` never ran, and the shared top-k was
   never freed. Route decoder layers carrying the DSA lifecycle to the reentrant
   path, selected by the new `uses_dsa_topk_lifecycle` predicate rather than by
   model name. Both this and the MTP switch disappear once the cache tracks the
   original/replay phase explicitly.

test_recompute.py gains a guard for the dict-return gradient path, which is the
failure mode a finite-loss assertion cannot catch.

Subject: [PATCH 07/23] [Fix] Correct the reason `context_fn` is omitted when
 unset

A real `context_fn` -- including the `functools.partial` over
`create_selective_checkpoint_contexts` that selective checkpointing uses --
compiles fine. What Dynamo's checkpoint higher-order op rejects is torch's own
`noop_context_fn` being forwarded as the "no policy" default, which fails with
`NotImplementedError: ... LazyVariableTracker context_fn`.

Behaviour is unchanged; the previous comment claimed `context_fn` was broken
under compile in general, which would have wrongly ruled out selective
checkpointing for every compiled layer.

Subject: [PATCH 08/23] [Refactor] Drop the legacy reentrant checkpoint path

Nothing needs the reentrant implementation any more except DSA cross-layer
top-k sharing, whose `_is_checkpoint_original_forward` infers the checkpoint
phase from `torch.is_grad_enabled()` -- a proxy that only ever held for
reentrant. Rather than keep a whole checkpoint implementation alive for that
one consumer, remove it; restoring DSA is part of the pending GLM-5.2
compatibility work and is left to it.

Removed: `apply_legacy_reentrant_checkpointing`, `_pytree_reentrant_checkpoint`
(and its flatten/unflatten of nested inputs and outputs, which existed solely to
work around reentrant's inability to see tensors inside containers or to return
non-tensors), `FSDPConfig.mtp_checkpoint_use_reentrant`, and the two branches in
`fully_shard` that chose between the implementations. Both collapse to an
unconditional `apply_gradient_checkpointing`.

`uses_dsa_topk_lifecycle` is left in place: it is DSA code, and the selective
checkpointing engine stacked on this branch still consumes it.

Two GLM-5.2 tests are marked `xfail` with the reason rather than deleted, so the
gap stays visible to whoever does the compatibility work:

- the DSA top-k cache is no longer released after recompute;
- shared MTP depths under compile trip torch's "Recomputed values have different
  metadata" check.

MTP itself is healthy on the non-reentrant path -- 19 non-zero parameter
gradients and 5 `None`, identical to base -- and the domino EP parity is
unchanged: loss 11.3384666443 bit-identical with and without recompute,
grad-norm 4.5116610527 vs 4.5117554665, peak 2189.9 vs 730.2 MiB.

Subject: [PATCH 09/23] [Refactor] Remove the now-unused DSA lifecycle
 predicate

`uses_dsa_topk_lifecycle` existed for one reason: to select which decoder
layers had to stay on the reentrant checkpoint implementation, because DSA
cross-layer top-k sharing infers the checkpoint phase from
`torch.is_grad_enabled()`. The previous commit removed that implementation, so
the predicate answers a question no caller can act on any more -- a grep across
this branch and the two stacked on it finds only the definition.

The cache machinery it guarded (`_is_checkpoint_original_forward`,
`checkpoint_active`, `after_recompute_release`) stays: it is the subject of the
pending GLM-5.2 compatibility work, and the two `xfail` tests keep that gap
visible. Only the strategy-selection hook goes.

Also drops "reentrant" from the lifecycle-hook comment: non-reentrant recompute
re-invokes the decoder module and its hooks just the same, so the conclusion is
unchanged but the named mechanism no longer exists.

Subject: [PATCH 10/23] [Feature] Add the region-level selective checkpointing
 engine

Turn the whole-layer checkpoint into a per-op decision: a contextvars marker
session records which `checkpoint_record` intervals are open, and the policy
behind `create_selective_checkpoint_contexts` keeps the ops inside them while
recomputing the rest. The sharding paths call one entry point per selected
layer, which also owns the reentrant fallback for DSA layers.

Two op classes are never kept, whatever the markers say: ops with a mutable
schema, whose cached tensor can be overwritten before backward reads it, and
collectives, whose destination buffer may be allocated outside the interval.

-This module holds the vocabulary that the three SAC layers agree on and nothing else:
+The three SAC layers meet here:
 
 - Model authors call :func:`checkpoint_record` inside ``forward`` to name addressable semantic
   boundaries, and declare a :data:`RecomputeIntervalMap` mapping each :class:`RecomputeUnit` they
   support to the marker intervals that implement it for their architecture.
 - Users select :class:`RecomputeUnit` members in the model config; they never see marker strings.
-- The SAC engine turns the selected units into intervals and drives a per-op checkpoint policy.
+- The sharding paths hand the resolved intervals to :func:`apply_selective_checkpointing`, which
+  wraps one layer in a single checkpoint whose per-op policy keeps those intervals resident.
 
-Only the vocabulary lives here. The contextvars session behind :func:`checkpoint_record`, the
-policy function, and the config resolution that turns user selections into intervals are owned by
-the SAC engine and the config layer respectively.
+Granularity note, because it decides which units are worth declaring for a given model: markers
+delimit regions only where the marked code runs in eager python. A ``torch.compile``d region
+executes as one unit and its markers are folded away while it is traced, so an interval whose
+endpoints fall inside a compiled region has no effect and that region is recomputed whole.
+Intervals whose endpoints fall *between* compiled regions work in both modes; in eager, all do.

Subject: [PATCH 11/23] [Feature] Route the sharding paths through selective
 checkpointing

Every layer `recompute_ratio` selects now goes through one entry point,
which picks the recompute strategy the layer supports: region-level
selective checkpointing, or the legacy reentrant path for layers carrying
the DSA top-k lifecycle. `BaseModel.recompute_intervals` is the whole
surface the config layer needs; keeping nothing reproduces today's
whole-layer recompute.

Add the regression tests: kept regions reproduce full-recompute gradients
bit for bit and keep them alive, unbalanced and overlapping intervals are
safe, in-place writes inside a kept region are rejected rather than
silently doubled, and a kept region matches full recompute under domino EP
both eager and compiled.

Subject: [PATCH 12/23] [Fix] Scope selective checkpointing diagnostics per
 model

The warnings exist so that a `recompute_cfg` which keeps nothing does not
look like a silent no-op, and they are deduplicated because every layer of
a model reaches the same diagnosis. Keyed globally on the interval or the
layer name, though, the second model in a process -- an RL reference model,
a compose model's other tower -- was silenced by the first, which is the
same silent no-op wearing a different hat. Key on the diagnosis instead.

Subject: [PATCH 13/23] [Fix] Report regions that open but keep nothing, per
 model

The compile-granularity rule was wrong: a region is addressable only if its
contents run in eager, not merely its endpoints. `SAVE_MLP` under EP falsifies
the old rule -- both markers fire in the uncompiled layer body while the region
encloses the compiled shared-expert forward, so nothing is kept. Neither
diagnostic could fire for it: the markers ran, and the layer is not compiled as
one region. That is a silent no-op of the same shape as the three this stack
already found.

The session now learns from the policy whether anything was actually kept while
an interval was open, which is a statement about contents rather than
endpoints, and reports intervals that opened and kept nothing.

Diagnostics also aggregate over the owning model instead of firing per layer.
Interval maps legitimately span dense and MoE layers, so a marker missing from
one layer type is normal, and warning per layer fired on every correctly
configured model -- which teaches users to ignore the warnings that matter.

Subject: [PATCH 14/23] [Test] Drop the DSA reentrant fallback test

The legacy reentrant path no longer exists, so a layer carrying the DSA
top-k lifecycle takes the ordinary selective checkpointing path like any
other layer. The test asserted a fallback that was removed with the path
itself.

Subject: [PATCH 15/23] [Docs] Point the diagnostics comments at the function
 that reports

The two comments named `_MarkerSession.report_unreached`, a method that never existed
under that name: unreached markers are reported from `_report_pass`, once the owner's
layers have all completed a pass.

Subject: [PATCH 16/23] [Refactor] Split the selective checkpointing contract
 below the model layer

`checkpoint_record` is called from `xtuner/v1/module/decoder_layer/*.py`, and
importing it from there pulls in `xtuner/v1/model/__init__.py`, which imports
the decoder layers back. A module the `module/` layer depends on cannot live
under `model/`.

Split rather than move: the vocabulary and the marker session go to
`xtuner/v1/utils`, below both packages, while the policy and the wrapping stay
at the model layer, where knowing `nn.Module`, `CheckpointWrapper` and the DSA
lifecycle predicate is legitimate. The session's API becomes public because it
is now driven across a package boundary. `xtuner.v1.model.utils` keeps
exporting the same names, so no import site outside these files changes.

+"""Shared contract for region-level selective activation checkpointing (SAC).
+
+This module holds the vocabulary that the three SAC layers agree on and nothing else:
+
+- Model authors call :func:`checkpoint_record` inside ``forward`` to name addressable semantic
+  boundaries, and declare a :data:`RecomputeIntervalMap` mapping each :class:`RecomputeUnit` they
+  support to the marker intervals that implement it for their architecture.
+- Users select :class:`RecomputeUnit` members in the model config; they never see marker strings.
+- The SAC engine turns the selected units into intervals and drives a per-op checkpoint policy.
+
+It lives under ``xtuner.v1.utils`` rather than next to the models because the marker calls sit in
+``xtuner.v1.module`` forwards while the unit vocabulary is consumed by ``xtuner.v1.model`` configs;
+a home inside either package would make the two import each other.
+
+The vocabulary and the marker session live here -- the session because :func:`checkpoint_record`
+is what reads it, and that call sits in ``xtuner.v1.module``. The checkpoint policy and the wrapping
+that drives a session live in ``xtuner.v1.model.utils.selective_checkpointing``, which is free to
+import from the model and module layers; the config resolution that turns user selections into
+intervals lives with the model configs.
+
+Splitting the session down here means the engine has to drive it across a package boundary, which
+is the *only* reason the session's API is public:
+
+- :func:`marker_session` opens a session for one pass through a checkpointed region, and must be
+  entered inside the checkpointed callable so that the recompute pass rebuilds its own state.
+- :func:`active_marker_session` is what the per-op policy asks whether a region is currently open.
+- :class:`MarkerSession` carries that state: ``keeping`` (is any interval open), ``record`` (driven
+  by :func:`checkpoint_record`), ``note_kept`` (the policy reporting that it kept an op) and
+  ``finish`` (fold this pass into the owner's diagnostics).
+- :func:`declare_selective_regions` tells the diagnostics how many layers to wait for before
+  concluding that an interval kept nothing.
+
+Treat that surface as internal to the engine rather than as an extension point: it is public
+because of where the package boundary fell, and it carries no stability promise.

Subject: [PATCH 17/23] [Feature] Add region-level `recompute_cfg` and
 per-model marker declarations

Lets a user keep named activation regions resident instead of recomputing
them, inside the layers `fsdp_cfg.recompute_ratio` already selects. The two
knobs stay orthogonal: `recompute_ratio` picks the layers, `recompute_cfg`
picks the regions inside a selected layer.

`XTunerBaseModelConfig.recompute_cfg` is tri-state. `None` and `False` keep
today's behaviour of recomputing everything, `True` keeps every region the
model declares, and an explicit list of `RecomputeUnit` keeps exactly those.
Unlike `compile_cfg`, `None` is not "the model default": `default_recompute_cfg`
declares what an architecture *can* keep, not what is worth keeping, so an
unset config never changes a run's memory profile. `False` additionally
propagates into nested sub-model configs, which is the walk `compile_cfg`
already had, now shared between the two switches instead of duplicated.

`MoEDecoderLayer` and `DenseDecoderLayer` record paired markers around the
attention, router, dispatch, combine, shared-expert and MLP regions, in both
the single-batch and the domino EP path. How much of that survives
`torch.compile` depends on where the markers sit, which the per-model
`default_recompute_cfg` docstrings spell out unit by unit.

Subject: [PATCH 18/23] [Fix] Assert region coverage and reject unsupported
 units at construction

`test_micro_batch_path_records_the_same_markers` compared marker name sets, so
it would have passed even if the domino path wrapped entirely different
operations. It now compares which of the layer's own operations each region
encloses, verified by mutation: moving `moe.dispatch.end` past the expert GEMMs
fails the new assertion and passed the old one. Along the way the two paths are
made to agree exactly -- `_forward` now reshapes outside the dispatch and
combine regions, as the domino path already did.

Intervals resolve in `BaseModel.__init__`, next to `compile_cfg` and by the same
rule: `default_recompute_cfg` is answerable from the config alone, so there is
nothing to wait for. A config naming a unit the model does not support now fails
before the run spends anything on materializing and sharding weights.

`recompute_cfg=False` reaching every nested sub-model config gains a test on a
shipped compose config, which nests three of them; the previous probe nested
one. Verified by mutation: stopping the walk at the outer config fails it.

Record why regions use explicit `.begin` / `.end` marker pairs instead of
ending each region at the next region's start marker, and warn instead of
silently resolving to nothing when `recompute_cfg=True` meets a model that
declares no units.

Subject: [PATCH 19/23] [Docs] Say what SAVE_MOE_DISPATCH actually keeps

"Keep the expert dispatch / combine communication region" tells a user they are
keeping the communication, which is the one thing the unit does not keep: the
SAC policy forces every c10d collective to be recomputed, because keeping one
would elide it from the recompute pass. What the unit trades memory for is the
permutation, padding and unpermutation work on either side of the all-to-all.

Subject: [PATCH 20/23] [Docs] Correct which recompute units survive
 torch.compile

Measured against the SAC policy at ep_size=2: only SAVE_MOE_DISPATCH keeps ops
under compile (152), while SAVE_ATTN, SAVE_MOE_GATE and SAVE_MLP keep none.
The docstring claimed the shared-expert half of SAVE_MLP stayed effective.

The rule was stated as "markers must sit outside compiled regions", which is
necessary but not sufficient. SAVE_MLP's markers do run in eager -- they sit in
`_forward`, which EP does not compile -- but the region encloses
`_shared_experts_forward`, which EP does compile, and ops inside a compiled
region execute as fused kernels that never reach the per-op policy. A region is
addressable only if its contents run in eager, not merely its endpoints.
SAVE_MOE_DISPATCH survives because the dispatcher calls it wraps are the one
part of the MoE path that stays uncompiled.

-        How much of this survives ``torch.compile`` depends on where each region's markers sit. A marker inside a
-        compiled region is folded away, so only regions delimited in the uncompiled layer body remain addressable:
-
-        - ``ep_size > 1``: ``SAVE_MOE_DISPATCH`` and the shared-expert half of ``SAVE_MLP`` are delimited in
-          ``MoEDecoderLayer._forward`` / ``_micro_batch_forward`` and stay effective. ``SAVE_ATTN``,
-          ``SAVE_MOE_GATE`` and the dense-layer half of ``SAVE_MLP`` are delimited inside compiled methods and take
-          effect in eager only.
+        Under ``torch.compile`` a region is only addressable if the ops it encloses run in eager: a marker inside a
+        compiled region is folded away, and ops inside one execute as fused kernels that never reach the per-op
+        checkpoint policy. Both a region's markers *and* its contents therefore have to sit outside compiled code.
+
+        - ``ep_size > 1``: only ``SAVE_MOE_DISPATCH`` survives, because the dispatcher calls it wraps are not
+          compiled. ``SAVE_ATTN`` and ``SAVE_MOE_GATE`` are marked inside the compiled ``_pre_moe_forward``.
+          ``SAVE_MLP`` is inert on both of its intervals, for the two different reasons the mechanism allows: its
+          shared-experts markers do fire in eager but enclose the compiled ``_shared_experts_forward``, while its
+          ``mlp`` markers never fire at all, sitting in a ``DenseDecoderLayer`` that stays compiled whole even
+          under EP.
         - ``ep_size == 1``: the whole layer forward is compiled as one region, so every unit is eager-only.
 
         A unit that is inert simply leaves its region recomputed, which is the behaviour of plain full recompute.
+        Measured per unit against the SAC policy: eager keeps ops for all four; ``ep_size=2`` under compile keeps
+        152 ops for ``SAVE_MOE_DISPATCH`` and none for the others.
 
         Returns:
             RecomputeIntervalMap: Supported units mapped to the marker intervals that implement them.
