fix(deltanet): systematic NaN elimination via CCCL overflow_cast pattern

Sub509 docker logs show 99.98-100% NaN rate in ALL GatedDeltaNet layers.
nan_to_num(nan=0.0) replaces them with zeros — entire DeltaNet layers
produce zero output, crippling model quality. This is root cause of:
- d03_tool_call FAIL (model too impaired to output <tool_call> XML)
- d01 content[0] (no content output, only 1085 reasoning tokens)
- d04 content[0] (same: reasoning but no content)
- 11x slower than opponent (model generates excessive tokens)

Five-layer fix based on CCCL overflow_cast_t pattern:

1. Pre-cumsum clamp: g.clamp(-0.5, 0.5) before cumsum (was: no pre-clamp)
   - Limits cumsum growth to ±32 for chunk_size=64
   - Post-cumsum clamp tightened from ±20 to ±12

2. A_log clamp tightened: [-20,20] → [-5,5]
   - exp(5) ≈ 148 vs exp(20) ≈ 4.9e8
   - Prevents extreme decay rates that feed into g

3. Forward substitution per-row clamp: ±1e4
   - _forward_sub_lower was the primary NaN amplifier
   - Each x[i] = rhs[i] + A[i,:i]@x[:i] now clamped

4. Cross-chunk state clamp: ±1e4
   - last_state *= g_last_exp can blow up across many chunks
   - Both prefill and decode paths protected

5. Decode temporal_state in-place clamp: ±1e4
   - ts_flat.clamp_() after baddbmm_ state update

+# 竞赛对比分析 & 修复计划
+
+## 一、核心数据对比
+
+| 模块 | 对手 Sub168 | 我们 Sub508 | 差距 |
+|------|-----------|-----------|------|
+| **functional** | 48/52 PASS (92.3%) | 21/51 PASS (41.2%) | **-51%** |
+| **case_truncation** | score=1.0 (8192 tokens输出完整) | score=0.0 (引擎崩溃) | **致命** |
+| **replay_tencent** | score=60194 (94/881成功,tps avg 11.86) | score=0.0 (881/881 connection refused) | **致命** |
+| **opencompass** | 0.0 (server也崩了) | 0.0 (同上) | 平 |
+| **总分** | **60194.6** | **0.0** | -- |
+
+## 二、Sub508 崩溃根因链
+
+```
+t2_n_2 (n=2请求) → get_scheduler_config() 异常 → 引擎进程死亡
+→ 后续所有请求 Connection Refused → 30个FAIL级联
+→ case_truncation/replay/opencompass 全部0分
+```
+
+**关键事实：t2_n_2 崩溃发生在 06:42:45，之后所有模块都是在引擎已死的情况下跑的。**
+
+## 三、对手 Sub168 的弱点（我们已经修复的）
+
+1. **`max_completion_tokens` 被拒** — 对手 `extra="forbid"` 导致 replay 中所有带此字段的请求返回 400。我们已添加该字段到 protocol.py，replay 中不会被拒。
+2. **`tool_calls` content=None 被拒** — 对手的 replay preflight 失败（"Each message must have at least one of 'content' or 'reasoning_content'"）。我们已修复 chat_utils.py 中 content=None 的处理。
+3. **d06_cache_hit FAIL** — 对手没有 prefix caching，我们 PASS。
+4. **t3_max_tokens_1/64/max 3个FAIL** — 对手也有3个max_tokens测试失败。
+
+**对手 replay 中 787/881 失败(89.3%)，只有 94 个成功。我们的目标是超越这个。**
+
+## 四、我们需要修复的问题（按优先级排序）
+
+### P0 — 引擎稳定性（决定能否拿分的前提）
+
+| 问题 | 根因 | 修复位置 |
+|------|------|----------|
+| **t2_n_2 → 引擎崩溃级联** | `get_scheduler_config()` 异常 + n>1 未处理 | `qwen3_6_scripts/serving_chat.py` + `protocol.py` |
+| **引擎OOM死亡** | 单个长请求耗尽GPU内存后整个进程死 | 需要在 worker/model_runner.py 加 OOM catch |
+
+已有 commit 修复（994c657 clamp n>1, c241764 try-catch scheduler），但 **Sub508 用的是修复前的代码**。Sub509 日志确认 d01 能跑（95.85s），但 d03 仍然 FAIL。
+
+### P1 — d03_tool_call FAIL（功能测试核心分）
+
+**Sub508**: `tools=0 finish=stop reasoning[0]` (49.04s)
+**Sub509**: `tools=0 finish=stop reasoning[0]` (49.04s)
+**对手**: `tool=get_weather args="{'city': 'Beijing'}" finish=tool_calls` (2.12s)
+
+**根因分析**：
+- 对手 d03 只用了 2.12s，模型直接输出 tool_call XML，tool parser 正确解析
+- 我们用了 49.04s，模型在 thinking 中耗尽了时间，没有产生 `<tool_call>` 标签
+- commit e0344b1 说"禁用 tool_call 请求的 thinking"，但 Sub509 的 d03 仍显示 `reasoning[0]`
+- **真正的问题**：当 `tool_choice=auto` 且有 tools 时，需要在 chat_template 中设置 `enable_thinking=False`，否则 Qwen3 会先 think 再输出，大量token浪费在思考上
+
+**修复方案**：在 `serving_chat.py` 的 `create_chat_completion` 中，当检测到 `request.tools` 且 `tool_choice != "none"` 时，在 `chat_template_kwargs` 中注入 `enable_thinking=False`。
+
+### P1 — d05_multimodal HTTP 400
+
+对手 PASS (content[374])，我们 HTTP 400。
+可能是多模态请求格式/图片解码问题。需要检查 chat_utils.py 的图片处理路径。
+
+### P1 — d07_reasoning_plus_content
+
+对手 PASS (reasoning[3489] content[962])，我们 FAIL (reasoning[131] content[0])。
+模型 think 后不产生 content。这是模型行为问题，但可以通过调低 thinking budget 或调整 temperature 来缓解。
+
+### P2 — t1a_thinking_true / t1c_thinking_default
+
+对手 PASS (reasoning[541] / [411])，我们 FAIL (reasoning[0])。
+**根因**：模型在短回答场景下不触发 thinking。可能需要在 chat_template 中确保 `enable_thinking=True` 是默认值。检查 Qwen3.6 的 chat_template 是否正确注入了 `<think>` 标签。
+
+### P2 — d10_thinking_disable_ctk 乱码输出
+
+对手输出 `'4'`（正确），我们输出乱码 `"presت< **sama一..."`。
+模型在 thinking disabled 模式下输出质量极差。这是模型+chat_template 的交互问题。
+
+### P3 — 速度差距
+
+| 测试 | 对手 | 我们 | 倍数 |
+|------|------|------|------|
+| d01 | 8.49s | 95.85s | **11x慢** |
+| d04 | 17.78s | 128.74s | **7x慢** |
+| d03 | 2.12s | 49.04s | **23x慢** |
+
+速度问题核心：BI-V100 硬件本身比 NVIDIA GPU 慢，但 10x 的差距说明还有架构问题。对手的 output_tps 平均 11.86，decode 阶段 tps 在 2.4-22.7 之间。
+
+## 五、修复代码的具体文件
+
+需要修改的文件（全部在 `qwen3_6_scripts/` 中，会被 patch_ops.sh 部署）：
+
+1. **`serving_chat.py`** — tool_call 时注入 `enable_thinking=False`
+2. **`protocol.py`** — 确认 `extra="forbid"` 已经去掉（已做），确认 `thinking` 字段被正确传递
+3. **`chat_utils.py`** — 多模态请求处理、content=None 容错
+4. **`model_runner.py`** — OOM recovery
+5. **`qwen3_5.py`** — 检查模型是否正确处理 `enable_thinking` 参数
+6. **`computility-run.yaml`** — 考虑调整 `--max-num-seqs` / `--gpu-memory-utilization`
+
+## 六、对手的 replay 得分结构
+
+对手 881 个请求中：
+- 94 个成功 (10.7%)
+- 77 个因 `max_completion_tokens` extra_forbidden 而 400
+- 704 个 connection refused（server也崩了！）
+- output_tps_avg = 11.86, output_tps_p50 = 12.97
+
+**关键发现：对手的 server 也在 replay 后期崩溃了（704 个 connection refused）。但他在崩溃前完成了 94 个请求。**
+
+我们的优势：
+- 我们已修复 `max_completion_tokens` → 对手的 77 个 400 我们不会有
+- 我们已修复 `tool_calls content=None` → 对手的 tool preflight fail 我们不会有
+- 我们有 prefix caching → 对手没有
+
+**如果我们能保持引擎稳定不崩溃，仅靠不拒绝 max_completion_tokens 的请求，就能多处理 77+ 个请求，超过对手。**
+
+## 七、下一步行动
+
+1. 修复 `serving_chat.py`：tool_call 时禁用 thinking
+2. 确认 n>1 clamp 和 scheduler try-catch 在 patch 文件中生效
+3. 测试 OOM 恢复逻辑
+4. 调整 computility-run.yaml 参数确保稳定性
+5. 提交部署，跑测试

+
+## 一、Sub509 vs Sub168 关键数据对比
+

+|------|-----------|-----------|---------|
+| d01_basic_nostream | 8.49s, content[11] tok=139 | 95.85s, content[0] reasoning[1102] tok=1085 | 11x慢; 我们产了1085个token全是reasoning |

+
+## 二、三大根因(按严重程度排序)
+
+### 根因1: GatedDeltaNet每层产NaN → 模型"智力"丧失
+
+docker日志证据:
+```
+WARNING qwen3_5.py:445] NaN in prefill GatedDeltaNet layer 0 (frac=0.9998)
+WARNING qwen3_5.py:445] NaN in prefill GatedDeltaNet layer 1 (frac=0.9997)
+WARNING qwen3_5.py:445] NaN in prefill GatedDeltaNet layer 2 (frac=1.0000)
+WARNING qwen3_5.py:445] NaN in prefill GatedDeltaNet layer 4 (frac=1.0000)
+```
+
+**99.98%-100% NaN率**。`nan_to_num(result, nan=0.0)` 将这些NaN替换为零，等于整个DeltaNet层输出全是零。
+这是一种"活着但脑死亡"的状态——前向传播不报错，但模型失去了DeltaNet层的能力。
+
+**NaN来源追踪**:
+1. `_torch_chunk_gated_delta_rule` 中 `g.cumsum(dim=-1)` → 累积值可能极大
+2. `g.clamp(-20,20)` 后 `g.exp()` → 最大 ~5e8，但这些值进入矩阵乘法后仍可能溢出
+3. `decay_mask = (g_diff).tril().exp()` → 即使单个exp不溢出，大矩阵乘法的累加也可能溢出
+4. `_forward_sub_lower` 中的前向替代: `x[i] = rhs[i] + A[i,:i] @ x[:i]`，如果A中有大值，误差逐行放大
+
+**对手为什么没有这个问题**: 对手可能用的是不同的模型架构(不含DeltaNet)，或者在NVIDIA GPU上float32精度够高不会溢出。
+
+### 根因2: FusedMoE完全fallback → 性能灾难
+
+```
+ERROR _custom_ops.py:58] module 'ixformer.functions' has no attribute 'vllm_moe_topk_softmax'
+WARNING qwen3_5.py:913] FusedMoE native kernel failed, falling back to pure PyTorch experts permanently.
+```
+
+BI-V100的ixformer没有MoE kernel，所有MoE层都用纯PyTorch:
+- 256个expert × top_k=8 → 最多256次F.linear调用(prefill)
+- 每次decode也需要top_k=8次expert forward
+- 对比native kernel的1次fused launch，这是数量级的差距
+
+### 根因3: computility-run.yaml vs 实际参数不一致
+
+yaml写的: `--max-model-len 256000 --max-num-seqs 2 --gpu-memory-utilization 0.95`
+docker日志: `max_seq_len=100000, max_num_seqs=1, gpu_memory_utilization=0.9`
+
+**可能原因**: 部署时还在用旧的配置。需要确认yaml是否真的被用于部署。
+
+## 三、d03_tool_call为什么FAIL
+
+d03日志: `tools=0 finish=stop reasoning[0] (tool_choice=auto) (49.04s)`
+
+**reasoning[0]说明enable_thinking=False确实生效了**。但模型仍然不输出`<tool_call>` XML。
+
+analysis:
+1. enable_thinking=False → 模型不产生`<think>...</think>`块 ✓
+2. 但模型的输出内容不包含`<tool_call><function=get_weather>...` 格式
+3. tool parser `Qwen3CoderToolParser` 在输出中找不到 `<function=` → tools_called=False
+4. 49.04s意味着模型在漫长生成纯文本回答(可能是口头描述天气而不是调用tool)
+
+**核心问题: GatedDeltaNet的NaN导致模型质量太差,不能正确follow tool_call格式**
+
+这不是serving_chat.py的问题。serving_chat.py和protocol.py中的tool_call thinking禁用逻辑是正确的。问题在模型本身。
+
+## 四、对手Sub168分析
+
+对手最终得分60194.6:
+- functional: ~48/52 PASS
+- case_truncation: score=1.0
+- replay_tencent: score=60194 (94/881成功, tps avg 11.86)
+- opencompass: 0.0 (server也崩了)
+
+**对手server在replay后期也崩溃了**(704个connection refused)。
+**对手的replay也只有94/881成功(10.7%)**。
+
+但对手赢在:
+1. functional高通过率 → 基础分
+2. case_truncation通过 → 引擎稳定
+3. replay中94个成功请求 × tps → 得到分数
+
+## 五、修复路径(按投入产出比排序)
+
+### 修复1: NaN问题 — 强制float32精度 + 更激进的clamp
+
+当前: `g.clamp(-20, 20)` 不够。cumsum后再clamp太晚了。
+需要: 在cumsum之前就对g的原始值做clamp。
+
+在 `_torch_chunk_gated_delta_rule`:
+```python
+# 现在: g = g.cumsum(dim=-1).clamp(-20, 20)
+# 改为: g = g.clamp(-5, 5).cumsum(dim=-1).clamp(-15, 15)
+```
+
+在 GatedDeltaNet.forward 的 prefill path:
+```python
+# 现在: _A_safe = self.A_log.float().clamp(-20.0, 20.0)
+# 改为更窄: _A_safe = self.A_log.float().clamp(-10.0, 10.0)
+```
+
+### 修复2: MoE性能 — 尝试真正使用native kernel
+
+docker日志说 `vllm_moe_topk_softmax` 不存在，但 _custom_ops.py 里应该有PyTorch fallback。
+问题是 `_hw_policy.moe_native_align` 和 `_hw_policy.moe_native_invoke` 也是False。
+如果这两个真的不存在，那PyTorch fallback就是唯一选择。
+
+**性能改进**: 在 `_pure_pytorch_experts` 的 prefill path 中:
+- 现在: for-loop over experts, 每个一次F.linear
+- 改为: 按expert batch size排序，大batch的expert合并成一个大F.linear (CCCL histogram pattern已经实现了，但可以更激进)
+
+### 修复3: computility-run.yaml 参数对齐
+
+确保部署时真的用了yaml里的参数。max-num-seqs=2让n=2请求不会崩溃。
+
+### 修复4: d01/d04速度
+
+d01: 95.85s产了1085个token，约11.3 tok/s — 其实tps不太差
+对手d01: 8.49s产了139个token，约16.4 tok/s
+
+**关键差异不是tps，是产了多少token!** 我们1085 vs 对手139。
+我们的模型在thinking里产了大量token。
+d01是basic_nostream，没有tool，所以enable_thinking=True是默认的。
+thinking产了1102个reasoning token + 0个content token。
+
+**问题: d01测试的content[0]意味着没有实际内容输出!**
+对手content[11]说明他输出了内容。
+
+这又回到了GatedDeltaNet NaN → 模型质量差的问题。
+
+## 六、CCCL启示
+
+CCCL在处理数值稳定性方面的核心设计:
+1. `overflow_cast_t<T>` — 在可能溢出的地方用更高精度的中间类型
+2. `cc_dispatch` — 不同硬件不同策略，不硬编码
+3. `policy_selector` — 基于benchmark数据选择参数，不拍脑袋
+
+我们的DeltaNet实现缺少CCCL级别的数值稳定性保证。
