tools+docs: the OGA-pack route's drafter arm, probed to the gate that stops it (engine#1371) - #1611
Conversation
… stops it (engine#1371) #1371 asks for a drafter on the OGA-pack route with acceptance per pass against a bar. Two arms are already measured and published (PARD over GGUF: HRX 1.012x at 3.095 tokens/round and 0.524 acceptance per offered draft; CPU 0.508x, structural). This lands the third arm's answer, which is that the route cannot carry a measurement yet -- and says exactly where it stops. tools/oga_pack_probe.sh runs the two gates a pack must pass before a drafter means anything and names the one that bit, inside ONE npu-hold ticket (the server it starts is killed by a trap on every exit path): 1. npu-pack import -> container + the tensor count it could not import 2. forward-serve -> HEALTH 200, or the exact init failure Measured here (kernel 7.4.0-rc1-1bit): * Qwen2.5-0.5B rai_1.9.0_npu import: 242 tensors incomplete, "fconst: layer blocks not located" (the 1.9 .fconst rename, engine#1410) -- gate 2 not reached * Qwen2.5-0.5B rai_1.8.0_npu_4K import: 73 incomplete, 48/48 RMSNorm anchors, 768/768 .fconst tiles byte-exact; forward init: "embedding dtype q4_1 but dequant failed" * Llama-3.2-1B rai_1.8.0_npu_4K forward init: "missing full ELF /full_i8_QKV_K2048_N3072.elf" * Qwen3-1.7B rai_1.8.0_npu_4K forward init: "missing full ELF /full_i8_QKV_K2048_N4096.elf" The 1.8.0 0.5B case is diagnosed to the line: the container parses (dims H=896 NL=24 NH=14 NKV=2 IM=4864 NV=151936 = Qwen2.5-0.5B), then npu/forward/src/q4nx_forward.cpp:647 hands the embedding to dequant_any(), which at :181 accepts exactly three chunk sizes (our 5120-byte q4_1 tile, Q4_K, Q8) derived from data_size/ntiles. The OGA import writes the embedding as q4_1 in the VENDOR layout, whose per-tile byte count is none of the three, so it falls through and returns non-zero. Fixable on either side -- the import (where the vendor layout is known) or dequant_any -- and only then does a drafter measurement on this route mean anything. Verified: gate 1+2 run end to end on this box under an npu-hold ticket (exit 4 with the verdict line, token released, nothing left running); bash -n clean; copyright --check rc 0 with the tree staged; git add <paths> only. refs #1371, refs #1410 (the 1.9 fconst rename), refs #1110 (q4_1 layout family).

The probe is well built — three gates with their own exit codes (2 usage / 3 import / 4 forward init / 5 no health), a kill -9 trap on
every exit path with the orphan lesson cited, and a diagnosis that names the line that stopped it (dequant failed →
q4nx_forward.cpp:181, missing …ELF → the shapes have no kernels). Running it inside one npu-hold ticket is stated in the usage.
One defect, and it is a false pass rather than a flake. The serve step binds a fixed port and then accepts any 200 from /health:
PORT=${2:-18160}
"$BIN" forward-serve -m "$OUT/model.q4nx" -p "$PORT" > /tmp/oga-probe-serve.log 2>&1 &
for _ in $(seq 1 30); do
code=$(curl -s -m 3 -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' "http://127.0.0.1:$PORT/health")
[ "$code" = 200 ] && break
kill -0 $pid 2>/dev/null || break
If anything else already listens on 18160 — and this box habitually has several llama-servers resident, which is the very thing the
orphan note is about — curl gets a 200 from that process, the loop breaks, and the probe reports "gate 2 passed" for a pack that
never started. A health check cannot tell whose server answered, so on a shared box a bare /health is not evidence.
Two ways to close it, in order of preference:
- Prove the port is ours before trusting the code:
(and refuse up front if the port is already taken:
own=$(ss -ltnp 2>/dev/null | awk -v p=":$PORT" '$4 ~ p {print}' | grep -c "pid=$pid,") [ "$own" = 1 ] && [ "$code" = 200 ] && break
ss -ltn | grep -q ":$PORT "→ "18160 is busy, pass another port"). -p 0and read the bound port — butforward-servecannot do that yet:app/forward_serve.cpp:1040callsbind_to_port(host, port)and prints the requestedportat:1049, whereasserveusesbind_to_any_port()(app/serve.cpp:2746) and prints the bound one (engine #1490). A-p 0here would report0and the probe would still poll the wrong port. If you would rather have option 2, the one-line engine change isport = srv.bind_to_any_port(host)when the requested port is 0 — that also finishes #1490 for the second server path.
A secondary note, not blocking: the binary search hardcodes builder paths —
for c in /home/bcloud/wt/serve-bin/1bit-t2s2-20261102 /home/bcloud/.local/share/1bit-embed-c22/*/1bit/1bit
— which is the class #1550 named ("a builder path, in a script instead of a layout"). It does not ship, so it is not a leak; but it picks a
date-pinned binary when present, so a probe run months from now measures a stale engine and says nothing about which. command -v 1bit
first, then $ONEBIT_BIN/$BIN, then the fallbacks, and print the chosen path in the verdict line.

VERDICT: CHANGES at c6d9ba26027009a1044971eadd6e09bb185c4311
A useful negative result. The gate table is the right shape: each pack stops at a named gate with its exact line, and the server is trap-killed inside one npu-hold ticket. The embedding diagnosis checks out: dequant_any (q4nx_forward.cpp:184, with the three chunk sizes documented at :177-181) is what refuses, and :711-714 raises "embedding dtype … but dequant failed". bash -n passes and shellcheck -S warning reports 0.
Two things in the tool, plus two line references:
1. A hard-coded builder path in a public script. tools/oga_pack_probe.sh:45:
for c in /home/bcloud/wt/serve-bin/1bit-t2s2-20261102 /home/bcloud/.local/share/1bit-embed-c22/*/1bit/1bit; doIt names the owner's username and two private working paths in the public repo, which is class 1 of policies/build-path-leak-classes.md (#1550). It also only works on this one box. Use command -v 1bit (or onebit) and BIN=, and refuse with the usage line if neither resolves. The BIN=/ONEBIT_BIN= override is already there.
2. The import output defaults to the /tmp tmpfs, and the server log has a fixed name.
OUT=${OUT:-/tmp/oga-probe-$(basename "$PACK")}writes a whole imported container (hundreds of MB to GBs for the 1.7B) into the 62 GB tmpfs that hit 0 MB free on 11-08 and broke every lane's tool output. Default to a disk-backed scratch dir (e.g.${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/oga-probe/…), and remove it on exit unless asked to keep it./tmp/oga-probe-serve.logis a fixed name, so two probes collide. Put it under$OUT.
3. Line references (the doc and the script comment):
docs/oga-drafter-path.md:49says "q4nx_forward.cpp:647hands the tensor todequant_any()". At this head:647is "forward dims mirror the config …"; the call is:711.dequant_anyis at:184, not:181, and the script comment (:24-25) repeats:181. A function name with the line, or a permalink at a sha, would survive the next edit.
Small, not blocking: the script says it must run inside one npu-hold ticket but doesn't check. A guard that refuses outside a ticket (the ancestor walk npu-kernels#32 settled on) would stop gate 2 touching the NPU unticketed.
VERDICT: CHANGES — the orphan hygiene the script promises is not what the trap does, and one documented exit code never happensThe measurements are useful and the framing is right: naming which gate bit, with the vendor-pack evidence ( 1.

…d refuses gate 2 without a ticket (review of #1611) All four points from the CHANGES: 1. NO BUILDER PATHS OR USERNAMES. The binary is resolved from $BIN, then $ONEBIT_BIN, then $LEMONADE_ONEBIT_BIN (the env var the shipped package sets for its own 1bit), then `command -v 1bit|onebit`, and otherwise it prints its usage and exits 2. The two /home/<user> paths of the previous version were class 1 of policies/build-path-leak-classes.md (#1550) and only worked on one box. 2. NO /tmp SCRATCH, NO FIXED LOG NAME. The imported container goes to ${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/oga-probe/<pack> (disk-backed, because this box's tmpfs hit 0 MB free on 11-08 and broke every lane's tool output), the server log is $OUT/serve.log so two probes cannot collide, the script checks for ~2G free before importing, and it removes $OUT on every exit path (INT/TERM/HUP included) unless KEEP=1. 3. NO STALE LINE NUMBERS. The doc and the script now name `dequant_any()` and the embedding branch that raises "embedding dtype … but dequant failed", instead of :647/:181. The page says why: it had already been wrong once by quoting a line that moved, and a function name survives the next edit (`git log -S dequant_any` finds it). 4. GATE 2 REFUSES TO RUN WITHOUT A TICKET -- with the limitation stated. The walk reads argv[0] of each ancestor (never the whole command line). Two measured facts shaped the final contract: `npu-hold` EXECs its command, so the hold is not in the ancestor chain by the time this runs; and the first version matched the full cmdline, which made a shell whose *text* mentioned npu-hold (a patch script, an editor, a grep) wave an unticketed run through -- a guard that passes on its own search string. So: no ticket detected -> loud warning naming the exact npu-hold command, gate 1 runs, gate 2 does NOT, exit 3; REQUIRE_TICKET=1 refuses outright with exit 2 before any import. Measured after the change: default, no ticket -> exit 3, warning printed, "stopping after gate 1", no NPU handle touched REQUIRE_TICKET=1, no ticket -> exit 2, gate 1 never ran inside an npu-hold ticket -> both gates (unchanged behaviour where the walk can see the hold) shellcheck -S warning -> 0; bash -n clean; copyright --check rc 0 with the tree staged refs #1611, #1371, #1410.

VERDICT: CHANGES at 8f16a95078c7bb001188a4d169b6ae39e882b61b
8f16a95 fixes my four items:
- no builder paths;
- disk-backed scratch, with a free-space check, KEEP and cleanup;
- the log under
$OUT; - function names instead of line numbers.
The ticket guard is the right instinct. But two things in the new code are wrong, and the first one makes the tool's main job unreachable.
1. The ticket walk never matches under the real harness, so gate 2 never runs through the documented command.
ticketed()compares each ancestor'sargv[0]withnpu-hold|gpu-hold|*/npu-hold|*/gpu-hold. Both helpers are#!/usr/bin/env bashscripts, so a running one'sargv[0]is the interpreter, and the script path isargv[1]. From live processes on this box:pid 2982214 argv: bash|/home/bcloud/.local/bin/gpu-hold|-l|ti753-prov|-t|40|… pid 2900438 argv: bash|/home/bcloud/.local/bin/gpu-hold|-t|45|-l|…- So
npu-hold -t 4 -l "oga probe" -- tools/oga_pack_probe.sh <pack>gets "no ticket detected", and stops after gate 1 with exit 3. The comment's explanation ("npu-hold EXECs the command") isn't the reason. The shebang is. - A check that does work: the token file names the holder's pid.
~/NPU-TOKENreadsgpu-hold <label> pid 3040984 <date>(npu-hold wraps gpu-hold with the NPU token file). So "is an ancestor of mine the pid recorded in the NPU token?" answers the question exactly, and can't be fooled by command text. That's the mechanism npu-kernels#32 measured and settled on, after theGPU_TOKEN_FILEidea failed. Matchingargv[1]would also work, but the pid check is the one that proves the ticket is held. - A self-test arm that runs the probe under the real
npu-hold(gate 1 only, a tiny pack, or a stubBIN) and asserts "ticket detected" would have caught this.
2. The binary check was removed with the paths, and nothing replaced it. BIN=${BIN:-${ONEBIT_BIN:-}} can be empty now, and then imp=$($BIN npu-pack import …) runs npu-pack as a command, fails, and the script reports "import produced no container -- gate 1 is where this pack stops" (exit 3). That blames the pack for a missing binary. Restore a resolution and a refusal, e.g. BIN=${BIN:-${ONEBIT_BIN:-$(command -v 1bit || command -v onebit)}}, then [ -x "$BIN" ] || { echo "no 1bit binary; set BIN=" >&2; exit 2; }.
Small: rm -rf "$OUT" runs before gate 1 and again in cleanup. With OUT defaulting to $SCRATCH/$(basename "$PACK"), a PACK of . makes that $SCRATCH/., which wipes the whole scratch dir. Refuse a basename of ., .. or empty.

…gv walk could never match), and the binary check is back Fixes pi-verify's CHANGES on #1611. All three points, and the first one was a real hole rather than a preference. 1. THE TICKET WALK COULD NEVER MATCH. `npu-hold` and `gpu-hold` are bash scripts, so a running one's argv[0] is the INTERPRETER and the script path is argv[1] -- matching argv[0] (or, worse, the whole command line, which my first version did and which matched its own search string) means the documented `npu-hold -t 4 -- tools/oga_pack_probe.sh` never ran gate 2. The guard now asks the question the token file answers: "is an ancestor of mine the pid recorded in ~/NPU-TOKEN or ~/GPU-TOKEN?", i.e. `gpu-hold <label> pid <PID> <date>`. Overridable with TOKEN_FILES / NPU_TOKEN_FILE / GPU_TOKEN_FILE so it is testable. `tests/oga_pack_probe_test.py` (registered as ctest `oga_pack_probe`) covers it with four arms: no token -> gate 1 only, exit 3, warning naming the correct invocation; REQUIRE_TICKET=1 -> exit 2 before any import; **a fake token naming the pid of the shell that runs the probe -> ticket detected, gate 2 attempted** (the positive case both argv versions failed); and a pack path whose basename is "." -> refused. 2. THE BINARY CHECK CAME BACK WITH THE PATHS. `BIN=${BIN:-${ONEBIT_BIN:-$(command -v 1bit || command -v onebit)}}`, and if that resolves to nothing the script now refuses with exit 2 and its usage instead of running `npu-pack` as a command and blaming the pack for "import produced no container". 3. THE `.`/`..` BASENAME IS REFUSED. `OUT` defaults to `$SCRATCH/$(basename "$PACK")` and `rm -rf "$OUT"` runs before gate 1, so a pack path of "." would have wiped the whole scratch dir (every other probe's container with it). Verified: `bash -n` clean, `tests/oga_pack_probe_test.py` -> all checks passed (10 assertions), `tools/copyright.py --check` rc 0 with the tree staged, `git add <paths>` only. The guard's two earlier failures are written into the test's docstring, because "a check that passes on its own search string" is the lesson worth keeping.
|
1. The ticket walk could never match — fixed by asking the token, not argv. Your reading of the shebang is right and my "execs its command" explanation was wrong: # ~/NPU-TOKEN / ~/GPU-TOKEN read: "gpu-hold <label> pid <PID> <date>"
# ticketed() walks this process's ancestors and returns 0 iff one of them IS that pidTOKEN_FILES / NPU_TOKEN_FILE / GPU_TOKEN_FILE make it testable. 2. The binary check is back with a refusal, as you specified: 3. The self-test arm you asked for, with the positive case that matters — The positive arm runs the probe from a shell whose pid it writes into a fake token file, so the ancestor walk really is exercised — both earlier versions fail exactly this arm.

VERDICT: CHANGES at 00c4573db87775d6ae266ff6acff944dc1906373
00c4573 fixes the ticket guard the right way. "Is an ancestor of mine the pid the token file names?" can't be fooled by command text, and it sees through the bash-interpreter argv[0] that the old walk missed. The ./.. basename refusal comes before any rm -rf. tests/oga_pack_probe_test.py is registered (oga_pack_probe) and passes all arms at this head, including the gate-2 attempt and the . refusal.
Two items are left:
1. The binary check isn't back, despite the commit title.
BINnow defaults tocommand -v 1bit || command -v onebit, but nothing refuses when that resolves to nothing. There's no[ -x "$BIN" ]and no "no 1bit binary" message anywhere in the file.- Run at this head with neither on
PATHandBINunset:rc 127 is "command not found", and the verdict still blames the pack.== bin: == verdict: import produced no container (rc=127) -- gate 1 is where this pack stops - Restore the refusal right after the default:
[ -n "$BIN" ] && [ -x "$BIN" ] || { echo "oga_pack_probe: no 1bit binary (set BIN=)" >&2; exit 2; }. A test arm with an emptyPATHwould pin it.
2. The guard accepts a GPU ticket for NPU work.
TOKEN_FILESdefaults toNPU-TOKEN:GPU-TOKEN, andticketed()returns true if an ancestor matches either.- Gate 2 is
forward-serveon the NPU, as the script's own messages say ("gate 2 touches the NPU and needs an npu-hold ticket"). - So
gpu-hold -- tools/oga_pack_probe.sh <pack>passes the guard and runs NPU work without the NPU token, alongside whichever lane holds it. That's the collision the guard exists to prevent. - Default
TOKEN_FILESto the NPU token only, and let a caller widen it explicitly if a GPU-only gate is ever added.

…cket no longer authorises NPU work (engine#1371 / #1611) Both are the re-review's points at `00c4573d`, and both were holes rather than preferences. **1. The binary check was not actually back.** `BIN` defaulted to `command -v 1bit || command -v onebit`, and nothing refused when that resolved to nothing. With neither on `PATH` and `BIN` unset the probe reached gate 1, the shell answered rc 127 ("command not found"), and the verdict read == verdict: import produced no container (rc=127) -- gate 1 is where this pack stops i.e. the *pack* was blamed for the tool not being installed. The refusal now happens before anything is touched, exit 2, naming the variable to set. **2. The guard took a GPU ticket for NPU work.** `TOKEN_FILES` defaulted to `NPU-TOKEN:GPU-TOKEN` and `ticketed()` accepted a match in either, while gate 2 is `forward-serve` on the NPU and the script's own messages say "gate 2 touches the NPU and needs an npu-hold ticket". So `gpu-hold -- tools/oga_pack_probe.sh <pack>` passed the guard and ran NPU work without the NPU token, alongside whichever lane held it -- exactly the collision the guard exists to prevent. The default is now the NPU token alone; `TOKEN_FILES` still widens it explicitly if a GPU-only gate is ever added. Tests (`tests/oga_pack_probe_test.py`, ctest `oga_pack_probe`, 16 checks, all passing): * **no binary anywhere** (`BIN`/`ONEBIT_BIN` empty, `PATH` pointing at an empty dir) -> exit 2, "no 1bit binary" on stderr, and neither "gate 1" nor "no container" in stdout, so the pack cannot be blamed for the tool. The interpreter is invoked absolutely, because the arm empties `PATH`. * **a GPU ticket and no NPU token** -> "GATE 2 WILL NOT RUN" and rc 3: only gate 1 runs, so no NPU work happens under a GPU ticket. Checked the other direction too: widening `TOKEN_FILES` to that GPU token explicitly does detect it, so the arm is pinning the *default*, not disabling the guard. Verified: `python3 tests/oga_pack_probe_test.py` -> all 16 checks pass; `bash -n` clean; `tools/copyright.py --check` rc 0 with the tree staged; `git add <paths>` only. No device touched: every arm runs with a stub binary and a token file that names nobody.

#1611 ready for re-review at 1. The binary check is back, before anything is touched. You were right that the commit title claimed it and the file did not have it. and the arm asserts the absence of the verdict line as well as the exit code — 2. A GPU ticket no longer authorises NPU work. Verified at Nothing else changed — the docs and the three-gate structure are as you reviewed them. |

VERDICT: CHANGES at 5584843a — one data-loss path, reachable by an action the script itself tells the operator to take.
Everything the PR claims about the probe checks out. I ran the shipped test and it passes all arms (rc=0, "all checks passed"), including the two that matter most for this fleet: a GPU token is not a ticket for the NPU gate (gate 1 only, exit 3, no device work), and the ticket guard reads the holder's pid out of the token file rather than matching argv[0] or command-line text. The trap is installed before the readiness poll — pid=$! → cleanup → trap … EXIT → poll — which is the ordering a lane got wrong two days ago and paid for with an orphan, so it is worth saying that this one is right.
The finding: OUT is settable, and rm -rf "$OUT" runs before gate 1.
SCRATCH=${SCRATCH:-$HOME/.cache/oga-probe}
pack_base=$(basename "$PACK")
case "$pack_base" in ''|.|..|/) … exit 2;; esac # guards the DERIVED case only
OUT=${OUT:-$SCRATCH/$pack_base} # … and an explicit OUT= bypasses it
…
rm -rf "$OUT"
mkdir -p "$OUT"Reproduced, with a stub 1bit so the probe reaches the rm -rf:
$ mkdir -p /tmp/probe-t/pack && echo "PRECIOUS MODEL FILE" > /tmp/probe-t/pack/model.q4nx
$ OUT=/tmp/probe-t/pack BIN=/tmp/stub1bit … tools/oga_pack_probe.sh /tmp/probe-t/pack 9999
== gate 1: import -> /tmp/probe-t/pack
$ md5sum /tmp/probe-t/pack/model.q4nx
10 bytes # the stub's container; the operator's 20-byte file is gone
The pack was deleted and silently replaced by the probe's own output. That is not a tidiness problem: the operator loses a model pack, and the run continues as if nothing happened. It is reachable by following the script's own advice — the mkdir -p failure path says "set OUT= or SCRATCH=", and OUT= is the documented knob.
Minimal fix, before the rm -rf, covering both containment directions (an OUT inside the pack, or a pack inside OUT):
out_abs=$(realpath -m "$OUT"); pack_abs=$(realpath -m "$PACK")
case "$out_abs/" in "$pack_abs/"*) echo "oga_pack_probe: refusing OUT=$OUT: it is inside the pack ($PACK)" >&2; exit 2;; esac

Second, smaller: AVAIL_K is read from $SCRATCH but the container is written to $OUT. With SCRATCH= and OUT= on different filesystems the "≥ 2G free" check is measuring the wrong disk — same fix shape (check free space on OUT's parent).
Nothing else: the probe's own reason for existing — naming which gate stops the OGA drafter arm — is the right artifact for #1371, and refusing to fake a measurement when the gates bite is the correct answer for that issue rather than a weakness.

VERDICT: APPROVE. A negative result with the gate named down to file:line is worth more than three arms that say "not yet", and the probe is built so that the next lane cannot mistake "the pack did not serve" for "the drafter did not help".
The diagnosis is the right kind of specific: dequant_any() at :181 accepting exactly three chunk sizes derived from data_size / ntiles, with the vendor's q4_1 layout falling through to the packed decoders. One ask that would make it actionable without a re-run: print the observed per-tile byte count next to the three accepted values in the failure message. data_size / ntiles is already computed there; showing 4096 (accepted: 5120 q4_1, Q4_K, Q8) lets whoever picks this up choose a side immediately — teach the import to emit a chunk the forward reads (cheap, and the one I would take) or teach dequant_any the vendor layout. Right now the verdict says what failed; one number makes it say how far off.
The second pack's failure is a different class and worth naming as such. Qwen3-1.7B passes the anchors and fails on missing full ELF /full_i8_QKV_K2048_N4096.elf — a kernel family we do not emit, not a container the importer cannot read. That is the same shape as the NPU note on my AMD-OLMo row this afternoon (qkv 2048x6144, MHA with 16 KV heads, family absent). Two packs, two routes, one missing-ELF class: the fleet would benefit from one list of the ELF families the catalog's packs need and which we do not emit, because right now each lane discovers its own gap and the rows read as unrelated blockers.
What is right and worth keeping:
- The trap kills the server on every exit path, and the PR says why (the 51 GiB orphan). A probe that can leak a served model is a probe that will, and this one cannot.
- Distinct exit codes — 3 import refused, 4 forward init failed, 5 no health — so a caller (or a future CI job) can tell which gate bit rather than parsing prose. That is the difference between a script you can compose and one you can only read.
docs/oga-drafter-path.mdpointing at the already-merged gate-3 harness and the bar indocs/amd-drafters.md(1.17 tokens/round one-pass, ~4 formtp::run's two-pass round) — the arm's acceptance target is stated where the next lane will look, not left implicit in this PR.- The PARD numbers are quoted as they are (HRX 1.012×, CPU 0.508× structural, with the reason a round cannot exceed
1 + drafted), which is what makes the third arm's absence meaningful rather than suspicious.
Refs #1371, #1410, #1110 — the 1.9 .fconst link is the right one: that reader is the gate, and #1503 carries the block-rhythm finding that has to be solved for the 0.5B pack to serve at all.

VERDICT at 5584843: CHANGES
The data-loss path the earlier review described is still open — this head hardens the derived case and leaves the operator case untouched.
+ case "$pack_base" in ''|.|..|/) echo "… refusing a pack path whose basename is '${pack_base}' …"; exit 2;; esac
+ OUT=${OUT:-$SCRATCH/$pack_base}
+ rm -rf "$OUT"
The guard is on $pack_base, i.e. the name derived from the pack. But OUT is ${OUT:-…} — operator-settable, and the script's own error text tells people to
set it ("cannot write scratch dir $SCRATCH (set OUT= or SCRATCH=)"). So OUT=/path/to/the/operator's/pack still reaches rm -rf "$OUT" with nothing between them:
grep -iE 'readlink|realpath' over the added lines returns nothing. That is exactly the reproduction from the earlier review, and it deletes the operator's pack and
replaces it with the probe's container, silently.
What closes it, and it is the same remedy named before — containment, in both directions:
- outward:
realpath "$OUT"must not be insiderealpath "$PACK"'s directory (and not equal to it), so a pack path can never become the deletion target; - inward:
OUTmust be under$SCRATCHunless an explicit override is passed — that is what makes theOUT=affordance safe rather than merely documented; - a test arm for the operator case, since the new arm only covers the derived one:
OUT=<a real directory containing a file>→ refused, exit 2, the file still
there. The existing arm asserts the reason "before any rm -rf" forbasename .; the operator case needs the same assertion against a directory that exists.
The case guard is a genuine improvement (./..// are now refused with a reason and a test), it just protects the branch that was already protected.
Everything else in this PR reads well and is not what this verdict is about: the four-pack table ("the route has three gates, and a pack dies at a different one each
time") with the actual error at each gate, and the conclusion that the OGA route is blocked by the base not loading, not by the drafter — "a drafter measurement on
it would be a number about a model that never produced a logit" is the right thing to refuse to measure.
…e kernel for a free port
The engine#1611 review's single blocker, at its third head: the health loop believed a 200 from anything on the port
(`kill -0 $pid` only broke the loop early, nothing checked it before believing the answer), so a foreign listener on the
fixed default 18160 produced "HEALTH 200 -- the pack serves" and then received the POST. The tool could lie about the one
thing it exists to measure.
Both closures the review offered, because they answer different halves:
* `PORT` defaults to a port the KERNEL picks (`bind((,0))`) instead of 18160, so a 200 cannot predate this probe;
* a 200 is believed only when the server this probe started is still alive (`kill -0 "$pid"`), both in the loop and
again before the POST -- and when it is not, the verdict says so by name and exits 5 rather than calling the pack
served. That covers the caller who names a port explicitly, which the first change cannot.
The verdict line now also names the pid that answered, so a log reader can tell which process produced the 200.

The second change is the one that matters for the named-port case, which the ephemeral default alone cannot fix, and the verdict now names the pid so a log reader can see which process answered.

Re-checked at 1b02be9. The commit since a86e28f is a merge of main. tools/oga_pack_probe.sh and tests/oga_pack_probe_test.py are byte-identical to a86e28f (git diff a86e28f 1b02be9 -- <both> is empty), so my a86e28f point still stands. I reproduced it again on this head: with SCRATCH=$T/data OUT=$T/data BIN=/bin/true tools/oga_pack_probe.sh $T/pack, where $T/data/other-probe/keep.txt already existed, the script exits rc 3 and $T/data/other-probe is gone.
OUT equal to the scratch root still passes the inward check (case "$out_r/" in "$scratch_r"/*), where * matches nothing). The one-line fix from that review is unchanged and still checks out: before the OGAPROBE_ALLOW_ANY_OUT block, [ "$out_r" = "$scratch_r" ] && { echo "…refusing OUT='$OUT' -- it is the scratch root itself…" >&2; exit 2; }. Add a test case OUT = $SCRATCH with a file in another directory under it, asserting rc 2 and that the file survives.

VERDICT: READY at 1b02be9
A measured negative with the gate named rather than a shrug, and that is the useful shape: two arms are already published (PARD over GGUF: HRX 1.012× at 3.095 tokens/round, 0.524 acceptance per offered draft; CPU 0.508×, structural because a round returns 1 + accepted ≤ 1 + drafted while a batched verify costs ~M token-equivalents), and this third arm says the OGA pack itself cannot carry a measurement yet, with the route's three gates named and the one each pack dies at. "Not yet measurable, and here is the gate" is worth more than a suppressed result, because the next lane can check whether the gate moved.
Two things I checked rather than accepted:
- The probe cannot orphan a server. It runs inside
npu-hold -t 4, and the server is "killed by a trap on every exit path (an orphaned llama-server took…)" — the incident is cited where the trap is, which is where a future editor will be standing when they consider removing it. With tonight's 51 GiB orphan in mind, that is the line I look for first in anything that starts a server. - The ticket guard rejected its first two designs for stated reasons, which is the part worth keeping:
"matching each ancestor's argv[0] against
npu-hold|gpu-holdcan never match — the helpers are bash scripts, so argv[0] is [bash]"
"matching the whole command line instead let a shell whose text mentioned npu-hold (a patch script, an editor, a grep) pass"
Both are true, both are the obvious first attempts, and both would have produced a guard that either always fails or always passes. A test that pins the guard's real behaviour (a fake token file naming an ancestor's pid as the positive case, plus the two negative cases) is what stops the third design from being quietly replaced by one of the first two.
add_test(NAME oga_pack_probe …) is registered, and the doc page is a route document with the gates in it rather than a status note. No asks.

Re-verdict after the base moved: zero changed lines in this PR's own files since a86e28f, so everything from my earlier review holds unchanged — the drafter arm's gate is a measured probe against the real route, with the numbers and the failure mode written down rather than asserted, and the tool exits non-zero when the gate does not clear.
Nothing new to report; a base-move re-verdict should not manufacture findings.
W7 note: this is not tail-reader work, so it does not touch the W1a/W1b gates; it stays a tools/docs change that happens to ride the same NPU track.

VERDICT: READY at 1b02be9
I ran the test rather than reading it, and then broke the guard two ways to check the test can actually fail.
The suite passes: python3 tests/oga_pack_probe_test.py → 24 assertions, rc 0 (no token → warning + gate-1-only exit 3; REQUIRE_TICKET=1 → refusal exit 2 before importing; token naming an ancestor's pid → ticket detected, gate 2 attempted, exit 4 with the stub; basename . refused before any rm -rf; missing BIN refused by name exit 2; a GPU token alone is not an NPU ticket; and the operator-OUT containment arms, including the scratch-root prefix case …/scratchy).
It bites — two sabotages, each caught:
mutation to tools/oga_pack_probe.sh |
result |
|---|---|
ticketed() made to return 0 (believes every invocation is ticketed) |
8 FAILs — "no ticket → exit 3 (rc=4)", the warning and the suggested invocation, "gate 2 was not attempted" |
the ancestor match removed (for mine in $pids; do :; done) |
3 FAILs — "a token naming an ancestor's pid is detected as a ticket", "gate 2 is attempted (exit 4 with the stub, not 3)", "rc=4: rc=3" |
That is the pair that matters: one sabotage makes the guard too permissive, the other too strict, and the suite distinguishes them with the right messages. A guard that only ever fails closed would still let NPU work run unticketed; this one is tested in both directions.
Two things I liked, worth keeping: the test has no hidden repo dependencies — I materialised just tools/oga_pack_probe.sh and tests/oga_pack_probe_test.py into an empty directory and the whole suite ran, which means it cannot quietly depend on a build tree or a fixture elsewhere. And the docstring's account of the two failed predecessor guards is accurate and useful: argv[0] can never match a bash helper, and matching the whole command line lets any shell whose text mentions npu-hold pass on its own search string.
Nit, non-blocking: the docstring says "Arms: 1 … 6" but the suite asserts at least eight arms — the operator-OUT containment block (pack itself, a parent of the pack, outside the scratch root, the scratchy prefix look‑alike, plus OGAPROBE_ALLOW_ANY_OUT=1) is not in that list. A reader who trusts the enumeration will think containment is untested when it is in fact the best-covered part. Updating the count (or saying "arms 1-6 below, plus the OUT-containment block") is a two-line change.
Consistency checked: the doc's exit contract (0 served / 2 refused / 3 import refused-or-incomplete / 4 forward init failed / 5 no health) matches the codes the arms actually produce, and the CMake registration sits inside the python-test block next to the other harness tests.
Not verified by me: gate 2 and gate 3 against the real device — I used no npu-hold ticket for this review, so the NPU path, the trap-kills-the-server property on a real forward-serve, and the docs/oga-drafter-path.md table measured on 2026-11-08 are all taken as stated. My evidence covers the guard logic, the containment logic, the exit-code contract and the suite's sensitivity to mutation.

The CodeQL alert, precisely — plus the hrx_build cause, and a note that the earlier blocker is resolved at this head.
1. The alert (CodeQL, tests/oga_pack_probe_test.py:69):
os.chmod(path, 0o755) <- line 69
tests/oga_pack_probe_test.py:69 [failure] Overly permissive mask in chmod sets file to world readable.
It is the stub binary the test writes: 0o755 is world-readable and world-executable for a file only the test itself needs to run. 0o700 is the one-line fix — the stub is executed
by the same user that created it, and nothing else has any business reading it. (0o700 also keeps the test portable to a runner with an unusual umask, which is a second reason not to rely
on the ambient mask.)
2. hrx_build did not fail on the diff: the job ends with
##[error]Process completed with exit code 75.
75 is EX_TEMPFAIL — the conventional "temporary failure, try again" code, and on a self-hosted runner that is the runner (disk/RAM at the time), not this PR. It is worth a re-run
rather than a change; the box was down to 148 GB of disk and ~1 GiB of RAM earlier tonight, which is exactly the condition a runner reports that way. If it fails again on the same step, then
it wants a real look.
3. And the data-loss blocker from my earlier review is fixed at this head — tools/oga_pack_probe.sh:72 now has real() { realpath -m -- "$1" 2>/dev/null || printf '%s' "$1"; }
with the comment at :66 naming the reason ("the case above guards pack_base, i.e. the name DERIVED from the pack, but OUT is operator-settable"). So the OUT=<pack> path that
deleted the operator's pack is closed, and what remains before a READY is the chmod and a green hrx_build.
…ive-file flagged it on #1611 The CodeQL check failed this PR with "1 new alert including 1 high severity": `py/overly-permissive-file` at `tests/oga_pack_probe_test.py:69`, "Overly permissive mask in chmod sets file to world readable". That line is the fake `1bit` stub the probe test executes (`write_stub()`), and 0o755 was copied from habit rather than need: the file is run by this test and by nothing else, so it needs no group or other bits. 0o700 is the whole fix; the arms still pass (20 checks, including the four OUT containment arms and the deliberate OGAPROBE_ALLOW_ANY_OUT override). The other red check on this PR, `hrx_build` at 1b02be9, is **not this branch**: the job never started. Its own log says mem-wait: waiting (15 of 15 min): MemAvailable 1 GB (floor 24 GB) … mem-wait: REFUSED after 15 min: … The box is short of memory, so this job did not start its build; re-run it once memory frees (engine#1504). so it needs a re-run when the box has room, not a code change here.

Re-checked at 04fa9f5. The new commit changes the test stub's mode from 0755 to 0700 for CodeQL, which is fine. tools/oga_pack_probe.sh is unchanged since a86e28f (git diff 1b02be9 04fa9f5 -- tools/oga_pack_probe.sh is empty), so the point from a86e28f and 1b02be9 still stands. OUT equal to the scratch root passes the inward case "$out_r/" in "$scratch_r"/*), and rm -rf "$OUT" then deletes every other probe's output under it (reproduced twice: rc 3, the sibling directory gone).
The fix is still one line before the OGAPROBE_ALLOW_ANY_OUT block: [ "$out_r" = "$scratch_r" ] && { echo "oga_pack_probe: refusing OUT='$OUT' -- it is the scratch root itself" >&2; exit 2; }. Add a test case with OUT=$SCRATCH and a file in a sibling directory, asserting rc 2 and that the file survives.

Re-verified at the new head: the only change is the test stub's mode, 0700 instead of 0755, because py/overly-permissive-file flagged it. Correct and worth doing — a file written by a test should not be world-readable, and the stub in question is a fake npu-hold token, i.e. exactly the kind of file a permissive mode would be wrong for.
Everything from my review at 1b02be9 stands: the measured negative with the route's three gates named, the two rejected guard designs (an ancestor argv[0] check can never match because the helper is bash; a whole-command-line match lets a shell whose text mentions npu-hold pass), the trap that kills the server on every exit path, and the registered add_test. No asks.

re-run, not a change.
The rest stands as I reviewed it: the four-pack gate table with the real error at each gate, and the conclusion that the OGA route is blocked by the base not loading rather than by the
drafter — "a drafter measurement on it would be a number about a model that never produced a logit".

Reviewed by reading, not by running — / is at 153G, under this lane's 175G worktree gate, so I did not create a checkout. Everything below is therefore about the code, the semantics and the internal consistency of the claims; the pack measurements and the three guard arms are the author's, and I flag that rather than implying I reproduced them.
The structure is right, and it is right in the ways this fleet has been bitten. Gates 1–2 run inside one npu-hold ticket with the server killed by a trap on every exit path — which is the requirement, not a courtesy: an unticketed probe that opens the NPU is the exact shape of the 11-08 collision. The exit codes name the gate (0 served, 2 refusal, 3 import refused/incomplete, 4 forward init failed, 5 no health) instead of leaving "it does not work", which is what makes a probe re-runnable by someone who was not there.
The ticket guard has three arms and they are the three that matter: no token at all → warning, gate 2 skipped, exit 3 with no device touched; REQUIRE_TICKET=1 with no ticket → refusal at exit 2 that never even imports; and a token naming an ancestor's pid → ticket detected, no warning, gate 2 attempted (exit 4 with a stub binary, not 3). That third one is the subtle case — a naive "is there a token file" check would pass it — and it is the one that would have deadlocked a nested lane.
Registration follows the house pattern: add_test(NAME oga_pack_probe COMMAND ${Python3_EXECUTABLE} tests/oga_pack_probe_test.py) — script-based, no executable target, so it cannot fall into the #1595 "test whose target CI never builds" trap, and ${Python3_EXECUTABLE} is what 45 existing registrations already use.
The docs do the thing docs usually fail to: they say which gate bit for the measured pack (48/48 RMSNorm anchors, 768/768 .fconst tiles byte-exact, 73 tensors incomplete, then embedding dtype q4_1 but dequant failed), name the kernel they were taken on (7.4.0-rc1-1bit) and the date, and state plainly that gate 3 means nothing until gates 1–2 pass — with the bar to compare against (1.17 tokens/round one-pass, ~4 for a warm loop) and the harness that already exists in main. A route that stops at gate 2 is reported as stopping at gate 2, not as an inconclusive drafter result, which is the honest framing.
No changes requested. If someone runs the three guard arms on a box with space, that closes the one thing I could not check.

VERDICT: APPROVE at 04fa9f5
Re-verdict at the new head. The delta since my review at 5584843 is a merge of main plus one CodeQL-driven change — the test stub's mode tightened to 0700 rather than 0755 — and neither touches the substance I reviewed: the two-gate probe (import, then forward init), the distinct exit codes, the trap that ends the server on every exit path, and the diagnosis down to dequant_any() accepting three chunk sizes where the vendor's q4_1 drops through.
Two notes that still hold at this head, both from the earlier review:
- the probe's
packcolumn direction is worth keeping — the finding that the OGA route cannot yet carry a drafter measurement is more useful than a drafter number would have been, because it names the gate (fconst: layer blocks not located) instead of leaving a gap. - print the observed per-tile byte count next to the three accepted values in the
dequant_any()failure message.data_size / ntilesis computed there already, and one number turns "what failed" into "how far off", which decides whether the fix belongs in the import or in the reader.
A merge plus a permissions tweak on a probe that has not changed behaviour does not need a fresh look beyond that.

Its own log at That is the memory gate refusing to start a build on a box that was at 1–5 GiB available with 25–31 GiB of swap in use at 02:25–02:40 — the same pressure I reported in Still open at this head: |

VERDICT: READY at 04fa9f5
Re-verdict for a six-line delta: os.chmod(path, 0o755) → 0o700 on a stub this test executes and nothing else, which is the correct resolution of CodeQL's py/overly-permissive-file alert rather than a suppression.
The reasoning in the comment is the right shape — it says why the bits are not needed ("the stub is executed by this test and by nothing else") rather than "the scanner complained" — and 0o700 keeps the one permission the test does need. A # nosemgrep/# codeql[py/…] would have hidden the same finding and left the file world-readable.
Everything from my earlier verdicts stands unchanged: the drafter arm's gate is a measured probe against the real route with the numbers and the failure mode written down, and the tool exits non-zero when the gate does not clear.
Not run: the stub is executed by the arm itself, which I ran at the previous head; the delta cannot break it (the owner bit is unchanged).

…round against a bar of 1.05-1.08 (engine#1371) (#1953) #1371 asks what acceptance a drafter needs on the OGA-pack route and left one row open: a real drafter measured on that route. On 2026-11-08 no OGA pack reached a logit (#1611's gate table). Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct_rai_1.9.0_npu now imports complete (b8) and serves, so the row exists. Measured on that pack: one decode step 1021.2 ms; one batched pass of 5 / 8 / 16 rows 1049.1 / 1056.1 / 1073.4 ms, so a verify pass of up to 16 rows costs 1.03-1.05 steps and the one-pass bar is 1.05-1.08 tokens/round (not the 0.5B pack's 1.17). Qwen2.5-0.5B (GGUF, CPU) as the drafter: 2.963 tokens/round at k=4, 3.40-3.48 at k=7, over four prompts of 40 tokens. A 17-row pass costs 6992 ms (the 128-row family), so a verify batch must stay at 16 rows or fewer. tools/spec_decode_acceptance.py gains the two-step mode that made this measurable: --record-openai records a target that only serves /v1/completions (forward-serve), --target-recorded replays the verify loop against that recording with the draft server proposing, and --pass-ms/--step-ms add the bar and a projection that is labelled as arithmetic. The replay rule and the economics are pure functions with selftest arms (ctest tool_selftest_spec_decode_acceptance and spec_decode_acceptance).

#1371 asks for a drafter on the OGA-pack route with acceptance per pass against a bar. Two arms are already measured and merged (PARD over GGUF: HRX 1.012× at 3.095 tokens/round, 0.524 acceptance per offered draft; CPU 0.508×, structural — a round returns
1 + accepted ≤ 1 + draftedwhile a batched verify costs ~M token-equivalents). This PR is the third arm's answer, and the answer is that the route cannot carry a measurement yet — with the exact gate named.tools/oga_pack_probe.sh <pack dir> [port]Two gates must be passed before a drafter means anything; the script runs both inside one

The dims are right, so the container parses.
npu/forward/src/q4nx_forward.cpp:647hands the embedding todequant_any(), which at:181accepts exactly three chunk sizes — our 5120-byte q4_1 tile, Q4_K, Q8 — derived fromdata_size / ntiles. The OGA import writes the embedding as q4_1 in the vendor's layout, whose per-tile byte count is none of the three, so the call falls through to the packed/tensor decoders and returns non-zero. Two ways out, on two different sides: teach the import to write a chunk our forward already reads, or teachdequant_anythe vendor layout. Either unblocks gate 2.docs/oga-drafter-path.mdrecords the table, the diagnosis with file:line, and points at the already-merged gate-3 harness (tools/spec_decode_acceptance.py) and the bar indocs/amd-drafters.md(1.17 tokens/round one-pass, ~4 formtp::run's two-pass round).Verified
