Scope Fix the two runtime failures seen in the live CI-reuse canaries, plus the required artifact-download defect exposed during acceptance. Sonar changes remain out of scope. - Adapt the narrow reconstruction fallback from #2185: after existing factories decline, supply missing input/output shapes retained by LayerBase. Explicit saved values retain precedence. This fixes InputLayer configuration cloning and supports consumer layers forwarding shapes to the base constructor. - Bring over the lazy-parameter correction from #2183 (0e0c2a9): compute gradients once before snapshotting parameters, then rebuild the shared shard/cache layout when the wrapped parameter count changes. No extra warm-up forward/backward or optimizer update. - Add direct float/double shape-cloning and consumer-layer regressions, reuse the five DDP/ZeRO/FSDP lazy-parameter regressions, run the existing exact failing tests and distributed math tests through the real test project. These are extracted shared fixes, not a merge of the unrelated work in those PRs. No leaf-model changes, dependency changes, production GPU disablement, or new null-forgiving operators. ## Artifact download fix — 527cbc2

Before: job 104484814024 received 260–857 MB on each of three five-minute attempts, discarded each prefix, and failed before executing tests. The artifact is 1,286,032,740 bytes.

After: retries retain the prefix and request missing bytes. Validated 206 ranges append; full 200 responses replace; 416 responses require either an already-complete matching digest or a bounded restart. Error bodies never append. SHA-256 remains mandatory before extraction. Immutable IDs, HTTPS redirects, backoff, and retry limits are preserved.

Proof: 11 real-curl loopback scenarios passed, covering interrupted/timed-out transfers, ignored/rejected ranges, wrong/duplicate ranges, transient error bodies, corruption, complete-prefix recovery, exhaustion, and permission denial. Resume offsets and final digests are asserted. The actual GitHub artifact endpoint returned HTTP 206 and exactly bytes 1024–2047 of 1,286,032,740. Workflow contracts and end-to-end CI-policy tests passed, including rejection of 50 unsafe mutations.

Latest hosted run: https://github.com/ooples/AiDotNet/actions/runs/35005395483 (pending; not claimed passed). No production C# changed in this batch.

Verification actually completed

Latest build-fix commit: fb27f0aa4e (included in head 7ce4aa1bff). The earlier focused runner omitted the test generator and missed CI compilation errors. It has been removed; the nested consumer fixture and its containing class now satisfy the generator partial-type contract.

Actual tests/AiDotNet.Tests/AiDotNetTests.csproj Release net10.0 build, with its production generator/analyzer pipeline: passed, 5m43s. Filtered execution against that actual build: 82 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped, 14s.

Includes both original CI failures, clone shape identity/mutation independence, five distributed strategy cases for lazy first-backward growth, stale-gradient rejection after resizing, unchanged-layout synchronization, fresh retraining, and exactly one gradient computation per training call. Existing distributed math tests also pass.

dotnet build tests/AiDotNet.Tests/AiDotNetTests.csproj -c Release -f net10.0 -m:2 -p:UseSharedCompilation=false
dotnet test tests/AiDotNet.Tests/AiDotNetTests.csproj -c Release -f net10.0 --no-build --no-restore --filter 'FullyQualifiedName~LayerCloneShapeStateTests|FullyQualifiedName~LazyDistributedParameterTests|FullyQualifiedName~ConfigureDistributedTraining_DDP_WrapsModelAsShardedModel|FullyQualifiedName~BuildAsyncFacadeTransformerLMTests|FullyQualifiedName~DistributedTrainingDeepMathIntegrationTests'

Adversarial review checked saved-state precedence, shape aliasing, stale-gradient lifetime, fresh-gradient ordering after lazy materialization, and single-backward behavior. Both current review threads were fixed and resolved. git diff --check passed.

Limits: focused tests using the real test project, not full-shard, cross-framework, or GPU performance proof. Hosted checks and the isolated all-green canary are separate pending acceptance checks.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved distributed training when model parameters change, keeping gradients, sharding, and configured parallel layouts synchronized across supported strategies.
    • Fixed cloning of layers so configured input and output shapes are preserved correctly.
  • Enhancements
    • Required artifact downloads can now resume interrupted transfers and recover more reliably from transient failures.
    • CI validation now supports workload-specific test, parameter-sweep, and model-shape checks with improved coverage and impact analysis.
    • Artifact transport checks continue to enforce secure redirects and integrity validation.

Latest routing verification — 8420e0f

The collection/base-class escalation is fixed and verified on GitHub: 112/161 workloads selected, 49 skipped, with both Integration C - Core and Integration T-Z retained. The selection job completed successfully; this is not a claim that the downstream build/test run has finished.

  • Live selector job and logs: selected 112 of 161 shard(s) at 2026-09-16 10:33:25 UTC.
  • Pre-push proof and adversarial checks: exact GitHub merge-tree match, certified-map replay, unsafe fallback tests, and passing PR/post-merge end-to-end tests.
  • The selection includes 45 mandatory legacy-map auxiliary workloads. Unreviewed generator inputs and genuinely unresolved dependencies remain fail-closed.

Walkthrough

The pull request updates distributed training for lazy and resized parameters, adds shape-aware layer reconstruction, and expands test-impact tooling with resumable artifact downloads, workload-aware CI selection, auxiliary evidence, and worker coverage validation.

Changes

Distributed training state management

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sharding and gradient flow
src/DistributedTraining/*
Sharding tracks wrapped parameter counts, invalidates stale state, preserves hybrid topology settings, and computes gradients before parameter snapshots.
Distributed parameter validation
tests/AiDotNet.Tests/IntegrationTests/DistributedTraining/*, tests/AiDotNet.Tests/IntegrationTests/ConfigureMethodCoverage/*
Tests cover lazy materialization, resizing, stale gradient rejection, fresh training, and hybrid topology preservation.
Distributed test environment isolation
tests/AiDotNet.Tests/UnitTests/DistributedTraining/*
Tests use unique in-memory backend environments.

Layer cloning shape recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shape-aware layer reconstruction
src/NeuralNetworks/Layers/LayerCloning.cs, tests/AiDotNet.Tests/IntegrationTests/NeuralNetworks/LayerCloneShapeStateTests.cs
Reconstruct retries registered factories with source shapes. Tests verify shape preservation and independent shape arrays.

Test-impact infrastructure

Layer / File(s) Summary
Artifact merge and retry flow
tools/TestImpact/Receive-RequiredArtifact.ps1, tools/TestImpact/Test-RequiredArtifactResume.ps1
Artifact downloads validate HTTP ranges, resume accepted offsets, restart invalid transfers, clean temporary files, and verify SHA-256 digests.
Workload-aware selection and gating
.github/test-shards.yml, .github/workflows/*.yml, tools/TestImpact/CiWorkloadKinds.ps1, tools/TestImpact/Select-Shards.ps1, tools/TestImpact/Assert-CiGate.ps1, tools/TestImpact/AuxiliaryInventory.ps1
CI separates test, parameter-sweep, and model-shape workloads. Selection and validation preserve auxiliary coverage and escalate when inventory evidence is invalid.
Worker coverage and auxiliary evidence
tools/TestImpact/Connect-WorkerCoverage.ps1, tools/TestImpact/Write-AuxiliaryEvidence.ps1, tools/TestImpact/fixtures/WorkerCoverage/*, tools/TestImpact/Test-*.ps1
The tooling links validated worker assemblies for coverage and tests transfer, evidence, inventory, workflow, and worker-execution behavior.

Review-fix batch d3ef93c is locally verified: focused net10.0 build succeeded in 3m38s; 82 tests passed, zero failed/skipped in 20s. Includes both original failing CI tests, five new dynamic-layout tests, clone shape independence, and existing distributed math tests. Both current review threads are resolved with evidence. This is not a full-shard or GPU-performance claim. The earlier all-skipped run is not passing validation evidence; a fresh synchronize event after ready status did schedule the actual Build. Latest changes require live run 34999162457; do not rely on superseded run 34998270524.

CI selection correction pushed: 04fe1c2. Replaying the real three-file transport commit now returns requiresValidation=false instead of escalating to all 116 C# shards. Mixed runtime + transport fixtures preserve exactly mapped + mandatory shards; unknown tooling, lookalikes, certificate policy, and selector edits still fail closed. Select-Shards self-test and Test-TestImpactEndToEnd passed (64 eligibility cases, 50 unsafe workflow mutations rejected, 12 delta emission cases, executable PR and post-merge delta/import scenarios). This policy-changing PR itself still requires full validation. Separately, the user approved extending dependency evidence to the 10 parameter sweeps and 35 conformance jobs; that work is not yet complete or proven. The new run is https://github.com/ooples/AiDotNet/actions/runs/35009679996 . Superseded run 35005395483 was cancelled.

…restarts correct

Addresses the five review threads on this PR.

- hybrid: the ThreadLocal constructor handoff was consumed by the first lazy initialization and
  fell back to (1, 1, -1) on the next, so resizing the wrapped model silently dropped the
  pipeline and tensor split; a second instance built before the first initialized could also
  take its config. The requested sizes are now readonly instance fields read on every init.
- zero1/zero2: train wrote the stale LocalShard back into a directly resized wrapped model
  before the layout check; the layout is now refreshed first (ddp/fsdp/hybrid already were).
- base: the empty InvalidateGradientState hook becomes InvalidateLayoutState, which owns the
  full-parameter cache. Pipeline parallelism now clears its stage-keyed activation, backward
  and weight-gradient caches, which nothing invalidated before. Tensor parallelism rebuilds its
  partitioned network in InitializeSharding, so an abstract hook would force an empty override.
- artifacts: a resumed response that cannot continue the prefix (typed InvalidDataException,
  not message matching) or a resumed archive failing its digest now restarts from offset 0
  within the budget; a single full response with a bad digest stays terminal. A legal
  'bytes a-b/*' Content-Range is accepted. The self-test gains wildcard and resumed-corruption
  scenarios, and only TimedOut uses the one-second request limit (14 scenarios pass).
- tests: CpuOffloadShardingConfigTests and DistributedTrainingValidationTests initialized
  backends in the process-wide 'default' in-memory environment, so leaked or concurrent rank-0
  backends failed 20 tests on the unmodified PR head ("Rank 0 is already active"); each backend
  now gets its own environment id. New regressions: resize immediately before Train for all
  five strategies, and hybrid topology across instances and resizes.

Distributed-training tests: 318/318.

🟠 Major · Handle parameter layout changes during pipeline backward operations. · src/DistributedTraining/PipelineParallelModel.cs:683-683

683-683: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Handle parameter layout changes during pipeline backward operations. PipelineParallelModel.Train creates the schedule, parametersBefore, and activation/shard state before lines 683, 715, and 755 call InterfaceGuard.GradientComputable(WrappedModel).ComputeGradients(...) directly. NeuralNetworkBase.ComputeGradients performs the training forward before collecting parameters, so lazy materialization can change ParameterCount. The pipeline then communicates and accumulates gradients against stale state. Its later restore can reject parametersBefore or overwrite the resized parameters.

Use layout-change handling for all three backward paths. If a gradient call changes ParameterCount, invalidate the pipeline caches, rebuild the stage partition, and restart or reject the entire step before communication, accumulation, or stale activation/shard use. Add a regression model whose ComputeGradients changes the parameter count during backward and assert that the pipeline does not apply gradients against the old layout.

Pushed b19ed7a: safely select sweep/conformance workloads alongside ordinary shards. The shared typed manifest now covers 116 ordinary + 10 sweep + 35 conformance workloads. Dynamic matrices, completion gates, worker-inclusive coverage digests and map certification use that catalog. Existing 116-workload maps preserve selective ordinary routing and conservatively retain the 45 auxiliary jobs until fresh coverage exists. Declaration/catalog changes retain affected auxiliary work; incomplete or failing reports cannot authorize skips. Existing report-only sweep semantics remain unchanged.

Local evidence on the combined branch: Test-TestImpactEndToEnd.ps1 passed (64 certificate eligibility cases, 56 unsafe workflow mutations rejected, 12 production emission cases, actual Git PR/delta/import replays including legacy-map upgrade and auxiliary inventory invalidation). Test-CiWorkloads, Test-AuxiliaryInventory, Test-CiGateModes, Test-AuxiliaryEvidence, Test-CiImpactWorkflow and git diff --check passed. Real isolated-worker coverage fixture: before 0/2 worker-only points, after 2/2, with three concurrent workers; fixture build had no warnings/errors. Collaborator runtime changes were preserved.

Live validation: https://github.com/ooples/AiDotNet/actions/runs/35017522228 . This policy-changing PR legitimately requires full validation. Hosted success, certification of a fresh worker-inclusive map, and a live reduced auxiliary selection are still pending; local replay is not being presented as that hosted proof.

Follow-up 0a19106 fixes the actual missing route: the remaining-unit shard now supports both AiDotNet.Tests.UnitTests and AiDotNetTests.UnitTests. The shipping selector self-test checks both namespaces and rejects already-partitioned diffusion/integration tests. All five changed test sources were checked through Get-TestFileRoutes against the actual full manifest; all now have routes, and DistributedTrainingValidationTests selects only the remaining-unit shard. No runtime test source was changed for this correction.

Existing real-code canary #2207 now uses this exact corrected baseline (baseline tree equals 0a19106). Its PR diff remains only GumbelSoftmax executable validation plus boundary tests, with no CI-control changes. This run is the live check that ordinary routing remains selective. The existing legacy map still requires the 45 auxiliary jobs; their reduction is not yet claimed.

- Around line 965-966: Update the workload-selection flow around
Complete-CiWorkloadSelection so the ledger-availability check considers
importShards together with partialShards, preserving imported pull-request
shards instead of replacing auxiliary-only selections with the full matrix.
Alternatively, enforce the ordinary Tests-shard invariant while constructing the
partial plan in Get-DeltaReuseDecision.

In `@tools/TestImpact/Test-AuxiliaryEvidence.ps1`:
- Line 42: Update Test-AuxiliaryEvidence.ps1 to remove its temporary evidence
directory during both successful and failed executions, including cleanup in the
existing finally path alongside restoration of GITHUB_OUTPUT. Preserve the
environment restoration behavior and ensure cleanup still occurs when execution
inside try throws.

Pushed 74f9b79: replace the blanket current-CI-control => full-model-matrix rule with explicit execution-boundary analysis. This is the policy responsible for the repeated 161-workload runs; earlier routing/comment fixes did not remove it.

Execution impact: tested selector/tooling edits are handled by mandatory tooling contracts. Changed manifest entries require their actual workloads. Changed commands, environment, runner, strategy, container, defaults or timeout in a runtime job require that family. Build changes, workflow-wide runtime settings, unknown jobs, unknown tooling and removed/ambiguous manifest entries remain fail-closed. Runtime source coverage routing is unchanged. Dictionary-backed YAML workload kinds are validated with the same enum as JSON.

Actual local evidence (not a toy map): downloaded and validated certified map run 34920307486, reconstructed a two-parent merge for this PR, and executed the production selector with PullRequestHeadSha. Before: CI selected 161/161. After: 107/161, no escalation: 62 ordinary + 45 auxiliary. The 45 remain required by execution changes/legacy coverage; no claim of measured auxiliary reduction. A second production replay used DeltaFromTree from 1dcfa45: this policy-only delta selected 0 model reruns without escalation. That does not bypass the resolver requirement for successful prior validation evidence.

Adversarial verification: selector self-tests, workload tests, 21 runtime-family boundary mutations, six full-validation workflow controls, manifest additions/removals/unknown settings/duplicates and unknown-tooling controls passed. Shipping workflow contract passed; 58 unsafe workflow mutations were rejected, including commenting out policy proof and ignoring its failure. Full Test-TestImpactEndToEnd passed. All open review threads were checked: zero unresolved at push time.

Hosted selection on this exact commit remains to be verified. The previous canary Integration C - Core failure is not being hidden or called green.

@coderabbitai review

Please re-review the current head 74f9b79, including the two resolved findings from the previous change-request review. Both fixes and their test evidence are in the review threads. There are currently no unresolved threads; the previous changes-requested review remains a merge blocker. Please update the review disposition if the current changes satisfy it.

Fixed the two diagnosed integration failures in d0f9777.

  • Integration C - Core: ConfigureMethodTestBase now owns per-test distributed sessions and shuts down registered backends on disposal, including failed builds. Both Bucket12 backend constructions use that ownership. Production duplicate-rank protection remains unchanged; failure diagnostics preserve the original exception.
  • Integration T-Z: console rendering, scalar/histogram getters and report/export reads no longer enumerate live lists. Dictionary snapshots precede sorting, series snapshots use the writers' locks, and HTML scalar/histogram markup and scripts share snapshots. Timer lifecycle is synchronized; stopped/disposed or obsolete-generation callbacks cannot render. Console refresh copies only its visible tail, not full history. Existing console tests now dispose their timers even if assertions fail.

Adversarial review covered lock ordering, queued/in-flight callbacks, restart/disposal, invalid timer construction, Clear/add races, independent sessions, same-session multiple ranks and duplicate-rank rejection. No assertions or production backend safeguards were weakened.

Local evidence on rebuilt net10.0 binaries:

  • Production and test compilation completed; final test build: 0 errors (existing warnings remain).
  • Focused test command below: 112 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped, 9 seconds. Includes all 12 new ownership/concurrency cases.
  • Supplemental same-process replay with four independently disposed Bucket12 test instances: 4/4 passed.
dotnet test tests/AiDotNet.Tests/AiDotNetTests.csproj -c Release -f net10.0 --no-build --no-restore --filter "FullyQualifiedName~Bucket12_DistributedTests|FullyQualifiedName~LazyDistributedParameterTests|FullyQualifiedName~DistributedTestOwnershipTests|FullyQualifiedName~TrainingMonitoringIntegrationTests|FullyQualifiedName~DashboardConcurrencyTests"

These are focused local results, not a claim that the entire remote matrix is green. CI must validate this new head. Other noncritical AiDotNet runs were cancelled to preserve this PR's priority.

Routing correction pushed in 8420e0f.

Pre-push evidence on the exact PR merge tree:

  • Head: 8420e0f; master/base: 2a878c5.
  • Tested tree: da3ab8106c7edb5a6866863c93d8689678e691ae. After push, GitHub's actual PR merge tree matched this hash exactly.
  • Certified map: run 34920307486; provenance validation passed.
  • Select-Shards with PullRequestHeadSha: escalate=false, requiresValidation=true, selected 112/161; both Integration C - Core and Integration T-Z retained. Replay completed in 78 seconds. The 112 includes 45 mandatory legacy-map auxiliary workloads; 49 workloads are skipped.
  • Select-Shards -SelfTest passed, including source-only abstract descendants, literal/constant/aliased/computed collection consumers, collection rename old+new consumers, case variants, missing/unreviewed generator evidence, known generated bases/collections, and generator comments versus emitted strings.
  • Test-TestImpactEndToEnd passed: PR subset selection, behind-master attribution, deleted tests, selective post-merge overlap reruns/imports, documentation-only reuse, and unsafe-policy/invalid-map fallback.

The generator/build-input contract is fingerprinted and scoped to AiDotNet.Tests: a changed/unreviewed generator configuration does NOT silently disable the generated-descendant safeguard. This is not a blanket exemption for abstract classes or collections.

Live confirmation is running: https://github.com/ooples/AiDotNet/actions/runs/35085302685 . Selection is not yet complete; remote shard success is not claimed.

Live verification completed: selector job 104758690999 succeeded and selected 112/161 workloads, exactly matching the pre-push replay. Integration C - Core and Integration T-Z remain selected. The PR description now links the actual selector logs and adversarial/post-merge test evidence. Downstream builds/tests are still running: https://github.com/ooples/AiDotNet/actions/runs/35085302685
