herizhen 0d1424d81a [Doc][Misc] Comprehensive documentation cleanup and grammatical fixes (#8073)
What this PR does / why we need it?
This pull request performs a comprehensive cleanup of the vLLM Ascend
documentation. It fixes numerous typos, grammatical errors, and phrasing
issues across community guidelines, developer documents, hardware
tutorials, and feature guides. Key improvements include correcting
hardware names (e.g., Atlas 300I), fixing broken links, cleaning up code
examples (removing duplicate flags and trailing commas), and improving
the clarity of technical explanations. These changes are necessary to
ensure the documentation is professional, accurate, and easy for users
to follow.

Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No, this PR contains documentation-only updates.

How was this patch tested?
The changes were manually reviewed for accuracy and grammatical
correctness. No functional code changes were introduced.

# Testing
This document explains how to write E2E tests and unit tests to verify the implementation of your feature.
## Set up a test environment
The fastest way to set up a test environment is to use the main branch's container image:
:::::{tab-set}
:sync-group: e2e
::::{tab-item} Local (CPU)
:selected:
:sync: cpu
You can run the unit tests on CPUs with the following steps:
```{code-block} bash
:substitutions:
cd ~/vllm-project/
# ls
# vllm vllm-ascend
# Use mirror to speed up download
# docker pull quay.nju.edu.cn/ascend/cann:|cann_image_tag|
export IMAGE=quay.io/ascend/cann:|cann_image_tag|
docker run --rm --name vllm-ascend-ut \
-v $(pwd):/vllm-project \
-v ~/.cache:/root/.cache \
-ti $IMAGE bash
# (Optional) Configure mirror to speed up download
sed -i 's|ports.ubuntu.com|mirrors.huaweicloud.com|g' /etc/apt/sources.list
pip config set global.index-url https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/repository/pypi/simple/
# For torch-npu dev version or x86 machine
export PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL="https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu/ https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/ascend/repos/pypi"

export SRC_WORKSPACE=/vllm-workspace
mkdir -p $SRC_WORKSPACE
apt-get update -y
apt-get install -y python3-pip git vim wget net-tools gcc g++ cmake libnuma-dev curl gnupg2
git clone -b |vllm_ascend_version| --depth 1 https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend.git

## Running tests
### Unit tests
There are several principles to follow when writing unit tests:
- The test file path should be consistent with the source file and start with the `test_` prefix, such as: `vllm_ascend/worker/worker.py` --> `tests/ut/worker/test_worker.py`
- The vLLM Ascend test uses unittest framework. See [the Python unittest documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#module-unittest) to understand how to write unit tests.
- All unit tests can be run on CPUs, so you must mock the device-related functions on the host.
- Example: [tests/ut/test_ascend_config.py](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/blob/main/tests/ut/test_ascend_config.py).
- You can run the unit tests using `pytest`:
:::::{tab-set}
:sync-group: e2e
::::{tab-item} Local (CPU)
:selected:
:sync: cpu
```bash
# Run unit tests
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/Ascend/ascend-toolkit/latest/$(uname -m)-linux/devlib
TORCH_DEVICE_BACKEND_AUTOLOAD=0 pytest -sv tests/ut
```
::::
::::{tab-item} Single-card
:sync: single
```bash
cd /vllm-workspace/vllm-ascend/
# Run all single-card tests
pytest -sv tests/ut
# Run single test
pytest -sv tests/ut/test_ascend_config.py
```
::::
::::{tab-item} Multi-card
:sync: multi
```bash
cd /vllm-workspace/vllm-ascend/
# Run all multi-card tests
pytest -sv tests/ut
# Run single test
pytest -sv tests/ut/test_ascend_config.py
```

### E2E test
Although vllm-ascend CI provides E2E tests on Ascend CI (for example,
[schedule_nightly_test_a2.yaml](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/blob/main/.github/workflows/schedule_nightly_test_a2.yaml), [schedule_nightly_test_a3.yaml](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/blob/main/.github/workflows/schedule_nightly_test_a3.yaml), [pr_test_full.yaml](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/blob/main/.github/workflows/pr_test_full.yaml)), you can run them locally.
:::::{tab-set}
:sync-group: e2e
::::{tab-item} Local (CPU)
:sync: cpu
You can't run the E2E test on CPUs.
::::
::::{tab-item} Single-card
:selected:
:sync: single
```bash
cd /vllm-workspace/vllm-ascend/
# Run all single-card tests
VLLM_USE_MODELSCOPE=true pytest -sv tests/e2e/singlecard/
# Run a certain test script
VLLM_USE_MODELSCOPE=true pytest -sv tests/e2e/singlecard/test_offline_inference.py
# Run a certain case in test script
VLLM_USE_MODELSCOPE=true pytest -sv tests/e2e/singlecard/test_offline_inference.py::test_models
```
::::
::::{tab-item} Multi-card
:sync: multi
```bash
cd /vllm-workspace/vllm-ascend/
# Run all multi-card tests
VLLM_USE_MODELSCOPE=true pytest -sv tests/e2e/singlecard/
# Run a certain test script
VLLM_USE_MODELSCOPE=true pytest -sv tests/e2e/singlecard/test_aclgraph_accuracy.py
# Run a certain case in test script
VLLM_USE_MODELSCOPE=true pytest -sv tests/e2e/singlecard/test_aclgraph_accuracy.py::test_models_output
```

This will reproduce the E2E test. See [vllm_ascend_test.yaml](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/blob/main/.github/workflows/vllm_ascend_test.yaml).
For running nightly multi-node test cases locally, refer to the `Running Locally` section in [Multi Node Test](./multi_node_test.md).
#### E2E test example
- Offline test example: [`tests/e2e/singlecard/test_offline_inference.py`](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/blob/main/tests/e2e/singlecard/test_offline_inference.py)
- Online test examples: [`tests/e2e/singlecard/test_prompt_embedding.py`](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/blob/main/tests/e2e/singlecard/test_prompt_embedding.py)
- Correctness test example: [`tests/e2e/singlecard/test_aclgraph_accuracy.py`](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/blob/main/tests/e2e/singlecard/test_aclgraph_accuracy.py)
The CI resource is limited, and you might need to reduce the number of layers of a model. Below is an example of how to generate a reduced layer model:
1. Fork the original model repo in modelscope. All the files in the repo except for weights are required.
2. Set `num_hidden_layers` to the expected number of layers, e.g., `{"num_hidden_layers": 2,}`
3. Copy the following python script as `generate_random_weight.py`. Set the relevant parameters `MODEL_LOCAL_PATH`, `DIST_DTYPE` and `DIST_MODEL_PATH` as needed:
```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoConfig
from modeling_deepseek import DeepseekV3ForCausalLM
from modelscope import snapshot_download
MODEL_LOCAL_PATH = "~/.cache/modelscope/models/vllm-ascend/DeepSeek-V3-Pruning"
DIST_DTYPE = torch.bfloat16
DIST_MODEL_PATH = "./random_deepseek_v3_with_2_hidden_layer"
config = AutoConfig.from_pretrained(MODEL_LOCAL_PATH, trust_remote_code=True)
model = DeepseekV3ForCausalLM(config)
model = model.to(DIST_DTYPE)
model.save_pretrained(DIST_MODEL_PATH)
```
### View CI log summary in GitHub Actions
After a CI job finishes, you can open the corresponding GitHub Actions job page and check the
`Summary` tab to view the generated CI log summary.
![GitHub Actions CI log summary](../../assets/ci_log_summary.png)
The summary is intended to help developers triage failures more quickly. It may include:
- failed test files
- failed test cases
- distinct root-cause errors
- short error context extracted from the job log
This summary is generated from the job log by
`/.github/workflows/scripts/ci_log_summary_v2.py` for unit-test and e2e workflows.
### Run doctest
vllm-ascend provides a `vllm-ascend/tests/e2e/run_doctests.sh` command to run all doctests in the doc files.
The doctest is a good way to make sure docs stay current and examples remain executable, which can be run locally as follows:
```bash
# Run doctest
/vllm-workspace/vllm-ascend/tests/e2e/run_doctests.sh
```
This will reproduce the same environment as the CI. See [vllm_ascend_doctest.yaml](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/blob/main/.github/workflows/vllm_ascend_doctest.yaml).
