Summary

The SeZM inference path materializes the block-diagonal Wigner rotations as dense (E, D, D) surfaces (D = (lmax+1)^2, three copies alive at the frame peak, e.g. 3 x 663 MB at the production shape) even though the reduced mmax = 1 consumers only ever read the three structural rows per degree block. The flash aggregation kernels already accept a packed (E, 3*D - 2) rotation layout (it is what the CUDA backend's edge_runs produces); this PR adds the missing top half — producing the band at the edge-cache layer and routing every fused Triton consumer to it — behind the opt-in DP_PACKED_D_INFER environment variable (default off).

  • WignerDCalculator.forward_band assembles the (E, 3*D-2) band from the same per-degree blocks the dense layout scatters (per-degree ladder only, lmax < poly_lmin).
  • EdgeFeatureCache gains a D_packed field; when the flag is on and supported, the dense D_full/Dt_full are never materialized.
  • The rotate-mix forward/backward kernels (per-edge and edge-block variants) address the band through compile-time slot constants; the else branch keeps the dense arithmetic bit-for-bit, so the default path is unchanged.
  • The flash aggregation consumes the same tensor unchanged (the band of D is exactly the set of Dt columns it reads); the GIE zonal coupling reads the m = 0 segment.
  • Reference (non-fused) paths still require the dense layout; the flag documentation states this and the Triton launchers raise a clear error if a banded rotation reaches them.

The stored values are the same floats in a different order, so consumer outputs are bit-identical.

Results

RTX 5090, torch 2.12.1+cu130, DP_COMPILE_INFER=1, DP_TRITON_INFER=3, DPA4-Neo OMat24, N = 4096 (E ~ 647k), same-tree two-state A/B:

metric flag off flag on delta
per-eval P50 153.01 ms 144.71 ms -8.30 ms (-5.4%)
peak allocated 23844 MB 21913 MB -1931 MB (-8.1%)
peak reserved 26510 MB 23427 MB -3083 MB (-11.6%)

The peak-moment allocation snapshot shows the three 663 MB dense Wigner surfaces gone (replaced by one 119 MB band plus its gradient).

Correctness:

  • band layout vs dense entries: bit-identical for lmax = 1..5;
  • rotate-mix forward, grad_x, grad_kc, and the three grad_wigner band segments: bit-identical vs the dense kernels;
  • end-to-end two-state (8 frames): max relative energy diff 8.4e-10, max force diff 4.8e-6 — at the noise floor.

Testing

New TestSeZMTritonWignerBand (3 tests: band-vs-dense layout, operator-level bitwise forward/backward, value-path-level bitwise two-state with a shared cotangent). Full source/tests/pt/model/test_descriptor_sezm_triton.py: 40 passed, 1 pre-existing skip.

Note: the packed branch of the edge-block rotate-mix backward follows the same addressing pattern as the per-edge variant but is currently unreachable (the default rotate_mix_bwd_block win-list is empty until the tile sweep populates it).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Supported inference configurations can now store geometric rotations in a compact banded format, reducing the rotation data required. Dense calculations remain available when compact storage is disabled or unsupported.
    • Compact storage can be enabled with the DP_PACKED_D_INFER setting.
  • Compatibility
    • Compact rotations are supported for configurations with maximum degree below 11 and compatible Triton consumers. Operations that require dense rotations continue to use dense data when available.

Walkthrough

The change adds optional packed Wigner-band generation and storage for supported SEZM inference configurations. Model and Triton paths use the band when available. Tests compare packed and dense layouts, outputs, and gradients.

Changes: Packed Wigner inference

Layer / File(s) Summary
Wigner band generation
deepmd/pt/model/descriptor/sezm_nn/wignerd.py
The calculator assembles dense matrices from degree blocks and adds packed-band generation for supported lmax values. It also adds a fused Triton operator and custom backward handling.
Packed cache construction
deepmd/pt_expt/kernels/utils.py, deepmd/pt/model/descriptor/sezm_nn/edge_cache.py, deepmd/pt/model/descriptor/sezm.py
DP_PACKED_D_INFER and consumer eligibility determine whether edge-cache builders generate and store D_packed. The cache converts the band to the requested dtype.
Model consumers and validation
deepmd/pt/model/descriptor/sezm_nn/embedding.py, deepmd/pt/model/descriptor/sezm_nn/so2.py, deepmd/pt_expt/kernels/triton/sezm/so2_value_path.py, deepmd/pt_expt/kernels/triton/sezm/sweep_tile_configs.py, source/tests/pt/model/test_descriptor_sezm_triton.py
Embedding, flash aggregation, and Triton rotate-mix paths use packed bands when available. Triton kernels support packed and dense layouts. Tests compare their outputs and gradients, and sweep updates document layout assumptions.

Added two follow-up commits that remove the redundant Wigner runs the banded layout initially paid for on the compiled backward:

  • perf(pt): op-bound banded Wigner assembly with analytic backward — forward_band_fused builds the band behind a custom-op boundary, so AOT saves the (E, 3D-2) band for the backward instead of replaying the whole quaternion → monomial → product chain per backward section. The analytic backward contracts the three stored rows of each degree block against the coefficient rows and hands the result to the monomial operator's own backward (l=1 differentiates the rotation-matrix formula directly).
  • perf(pt): reuse the packed band m=0 group for the GIE zonal coupling — with the dense surface gone, the GIE coupling fell back to a second independent quaternion → monomial → block run; it now reads the band's m=0 columns, which hold exactly those entries.

Numbers on the DPA4-Neo N=4096 frame (RTX 5090, same tree, flag on vs the previous head 0278e45):

before after
per-eval P50 144.76 ms 141.17 ms
peak VRAM (alloc) 22004 MB 21955 MB

Monomial forward launches per frame drop from 4 to 2 (the band assembly only). Correctness against the previous head: energy rel 1.7e-9, forces rel 1.1e-6 (same noise floor as before); the band operator's forward and backward are bitwise-equal to the plain composition in eager tests, and the existing dense/band bitwise suite still passes.

@OutisLi @wanghan-iapcm @njzjz requesting a review, please. Following the 2026-10-13 discussion we validated the combined stack of our six performance PRs (#6056, #6057, #6060, #6070, #6071, #6072) with a multi-scale gate: diamond + bcc-Cu at ~500 / ~2000 / ~4400 atoms, three columns (pure torch.compile with all custom kernels off / current master / our changes on). All accuracy cells sit within 2.2x the pure baseline's own run-to-run band (criterion: 3x), and no tested atom count regresses in time or memory — full numbers in the PR descriptions. Suggested review order for the six: #6056 -> #6057 -> #6060 (small and self-contained) -> #6070 -> #6071 -> #6072.

Follow-up: fix(pt): pass the banded-layout flag in the rotate-mix tuning sweep launches — the kernel signature gained the PACKED constexpr, so sweep_tile_configs.py's direct launches of the rotate-mix forward and edge-block backward kernels needed the same treatment #6015 gave the flash-bwd sweep. The sweep now runs again over the dense layout; the banded form shares the tile entries.

One more sweep-tooling fix on this branch (fix(pt): match the fp16x3 operator's two-output contract in the tuning sweep): wins_against_fp32 unpacked three outputs from so2_mixing_stack_fp16x3, but that operator returns (x_local, z_all) — its backward recovers the identity input internally. With this the fp16x3 sweep actually runs; on the RTX 5090 at (32, 3) it measures 0.983x vs the fp32 stack, so the sweep correctly concludes "keep the fp32 stack" and records a None entry.

Correct the backward-path comment.

The fp16x3 backward does not recover the final identity input. It computes the input gradient from grad_out, the weights, and saved z_all. Update the note:

I reviewed the exact head. The existing edge-cache finding remains a correctness blocker: packed storage can be selected while dense SO2 or cuTile consumers still use dense offsets, causing failures or incorrect aggregates. Please gate storage on all selected consumers' packed-layout support and fix the failing documentation check.

Thank you for the review — you are right that selecting the banded layout while a dense-layout consumer is active is a real hazard. Addressed in e92fd5c:

  • Added block_supports_packed_wigner in sezm.py: one block clears the gate only when its selected rotation path addresses the band (the Triton value path or the Triton rotate-mix path). The cuTile value path, the fused CUDA convolution and the CUDA training value path each block it, as does the plain SO2 reference path (no accelerated binding at all — it needs the dense surface).
  • The descriptor computes _packed_wigner_consumers over all blocks and threads it through both edge-cache build variants (including the fused-radial/wigner one), and _build_edge_wigner now requires it in addition to DP_PACKED_D_INFER and the calculator capability — with any dense consumer present the cache falls back to the dense surfaces exactly as before this PR.
  • Verified behaviorally at N=4096: the production config (DP_TRITON_INFER=3) still selects the band (the compiled graph contains the band operator; energy unchanged), while DP_TRITON_INFER=0 with DP_PACKED_D_INFER=1 now builds the dense surfaces. For completeness: that legacy dense+compile configuration exceeds 32 GB on this card, and plain master at 5b9fe07 with DP_TRITON_INFER=0 OOMs identically — a pre-existing environment limit, not introduced here; the gate lands on exactly what master would do.
  • Test matrix added (TestSeZMPackedWignerConsumerGate): each blocking consumer and both enabling bindings.

On the documentation check: the RTD failure is repo-wide (same red check on other open PRs, e.g. #6058); this diff touches no docs inputs.

Keep the "SeZM" registration on DescrptSeZM.

@BaseDescriptor.register("SeZM") decorates block_supports_packed_wigner, not DescrptSeZM. No other PyTorch descriptor registration supplies this key. Move the helper above the decorator, or move the decorator back next to the class.

Both false-positive classes are addressed in 7024203: the gate is now evaluated per cache build against the currently selected consumers rather than once at construction.

  1. Inverse/aggregation consumers: the gate now additionally requires a bound flash aggregation (_flash_atten_fn). Without it — the no-attention envelope path or a projected-attention layout — the message is rotated back through Dt_full, which the packed cache sets to None, so those configurations keep the dense surfaces exactly as you traced. The cuTile/CUDA-conv/CUDA-train rejections are unchanged.

  2. Mode and level changes: block_supports_packed_wigner(so2_conv, training) reads the current mode and the corresponding level (triton_infer_level() in eval, triton_train_level() in training) at call time; the descriptor evaluates it in _packed_wigner_ok() at each cache build, so the inference-2/training-0 → .train() and inference-0/training-1 → .eval() transitions you constructed no longer pass a stale construction-time verdict. In training the forward consumer must be the training-bound rotate-mix path.

Verification: your five scenarios are encoded as the gate test matrix (test_gate_follows_mode_and_levels plus the aggregation cases in test_gate_matrix) and all behave as your dispatch traces predicted; on the production DPA4 config (value path + flash, inference) the band still engages (energy unchanged at the rebased head, band operator present in the compiled graph). Full test_descriptor_sezm_triton.py passes: 45 + 1 pre-existing skip.

One boundary note: the gate is a shape/config-level decision evaluated per build; it deliberately does not attempt to predict mid-frame dispatch, and the flash-binding check (layout, projections, heads) mirrors the constructor conditions the dispatch itself uses.

Addressed in bce0282: the gate now derives its levels from the per-block values captured at construction (so2_conv.triton_infer_level / so2_conv.triton_train_level — the same numbers active_triton_level resolves dispatch with) instead of rereading the ambient environment, so both of your residual cases are closed:

  • the inference-2/training-0 scoped block followed by ambient training 1 and .train() now rejects the band (the captured training level 0 selects the dense forward and dense aggregation, and the gate agrees);
  • the converse inference-0/training-1 construction followed by ambient inference 1 and .eval() likewise rejects.

Training-mode aggregation additionally requires _flash_atten_trains — the flash operator bound for training — matching what the training dispatch actually selects, so a flash bound inference-only no longer admits the band in training even with a training-bound rotate-mix forward.

The test matrix reflects the construction-scoped-environment pattern you pointed to: test_gate_follows_mode_and_captured_levels pins the captured levels per case and deliberately sets a disagreeing ambient environment (both directions), plus the inference-only-flash training case. Production engagement re-verified at the new head (band operator present, energy unchanged); full file 45 + 1 pre-existing skip.

…ent consumers

The gate is now a call-time check over the currently selected forward
and inverse consumers: without a bound flash aggregation the message is
rotated back through the dense inverse matrix, so no-attention and
projected-attention configurations keep the dense surfaces; training
mode reads the training level and its rotate-mix binding instead of a
construction-time boolean, so level combinations like inference 2 /
training 0 followed by .train() no longer pass a stale verdict.  The
gate matrix tests now cover both mode cases and the aggregation
routes.
…vels

Dispatch resolves Triton levels through the values captured on each
block at construction (active_triton_level), so the gate now reads
those same numbers instead of the ambient environment: a block built
inside an inference-2/training-0 scope can no longer pass the gate in
training mode after the ambient training level changes, and the
converse eval case is covered as well.  Training-mode aggregation
additionally requires the flash operator to have been bound for
training (_flash_atten_trains), matching what the training
dispatch actually uses.

Scoped follow-up at exact head 813b37c, including the final two-file correction and necessary rebased dispatch/cache context.

The residual captured-level issue in my previous follow-up is fixed: the gate now reads the same per-block inference/training levels used by production dispatch, and training additionally requires _flash_atten_trains. Both previously reported construction-scoped-environment cases now retain the dense matrices. Inference-only flash binding also correctly rejects packed storage in training. Supported packed evaluation/training controls remain admitted, and the original no-attention/projected-attention/mode-switch fixes are preserved.

Verification: nine exact-source host cases replayed the gate, actual consumer branch conditions and cache construction with doubles. This is not full descriptor construction/execution, numerical validation or a CUDA/Triton run. The added repository test is a helper matrix; the author's reported 45 passes plus one skip is separately attributed to their response.

This acknowledges the specific fix, not overall approval: the existing SeZM registration placement finding remains present at current sezm.py lines 134–135, despite its thread being marked outdated. I have not opened a duplicate finding. The seven current-head Actions workflows still require approval and have not executed.

Reviewed head 813b37c418a851c11427a8c4809ad56a258d8ae6 against base 668b60cc2a9559f79abb9c33acd959833376344f. Requesting changes for the correctness and integration issues below.

The motivation is sound: reduced mmax=1 consumers need only the structural Wigner rows, so replacing the dense per-edge surfaces with a shared band can reduce memory traffic and storage. The reported RTX 5090 inference results are useful author-provided evidence; I did not independently reproduce the performance measurements.

1. [P1] Restore the SeZM descriptor registration

sezm.py:134-135 registers block_supports_packed_wigner under "SeZM" instead of registering DescrptSeZM. This breaks the ordinary descriptor factory even when packed storage is disabled. An actual CPU factory call with a small valid descriptor configuration raises TypeError: object.__new__(X): X is not a type object (function); the same configuration with type="sezm" constructs successfully.

Move the registration back onto the descriptor class and cover construction through the registry. This confirms the still-present existing finding, rather than opening another inline thread for it.

2. [P2] Complete the packed-layout contract for parameter gradients

The training eligibility branch explicitly admits a bound Triton rotate-mix path. However, rotate_mix_basis_grad() still passes the two-dimensional band to the dense-only _block_to_local_op. The registered rotate-mix backward calls this helper when the channel basis requires gradients.

A real trainable SO2Convolution with lmax=1, channels=64, n_focus=2, focus_dim=64, two mixing layers, degree_channel rank=1, and training level 1 is admitted by the gate. In a separate seven-edge operator check using the exact Triton kernels through the CPU interpreter, dense forward and channel-basis gradients pass; packed forward is identical, but the registered backward raises IndexError. The CUDA launch argument builder also accesses wigner.stride(2), which cannot exist on the band, and fails before a kernel launch. This is not a GPU execution result.

Support the band in every required parameter-gradient consumer and cover the registered autograd path with trainable parameters. If the intended scope is inference only, make training retain the dense layout explicitly instead of advertising packed training eligibility. The scope must be coherent: the title and performance evidence concern inference, the layout gate currently admits training, and the custom Wigner-band assembly itself is eval-only. An inference force backward alone does not establish parameter-gradient or force-loss training support.

3. Apply the optimization consistently to PT and PT-expt

The PT cache builder produces D_packed, but PT-expt still inherits the dpmodel cache path, which constructs D_full/Dt_full. Its Wigner wrapper and cache producer have no corresponding band-production integration. Sharing a packed-capable Triton kernel does not activate the optimization when that backend never produces or passes the band.

Please carry the optimization through both backends, keeping the layout contract, dispatch semantics, code style and logic aligned. Preserve the existing separation between backend-neutral dpmodel mathematics and PyTorch/kernel runtime bindings; do not make dpmodel depend on PT implementation modules. Add shared behavioral coverage that demonstrates the selected layout and supported gradients in both backends. The relevant baseline paths were also checked against current upstream/master (4f78c2d).

4. Use existing acceleration levels, not another public micro-switch

DP_PACKED_D_INFER introduces another public switch for an internal storage/consumer choice. Integrate selection with the existing acceleration levels and actual consumer capability, retaining dense storage where required.

First assess whether the storage optimization can be a level-1 capability without a shape-dependent tuning decision; level 2 should not be assumed merely because kernels are involved. If a level-2 profitability/configuration decision is needed, connect it to the existing freeze-time autotuning flow and evaluate the packed configuration itself. The current rotate-mix sweeps explicitly pass PACKED=False, so those sweeps alone do not establish a packed-layout winner. Keep a measured fallback and provide evidence on hardware available to the author; there is no requirement for tables from inaccessible GPUs.

5. Consolidate the duplicated Wigner mathematics and band assembly

The shared _compute_all_blocks() and forward_band() are a useful consolidation, but _wigner_band_impl() introduces another implementation of the low-order block formulas and the same band assembly. The custom-op boundary does not require maintaining independent copies of the forward mathematics.

Factor the reusable low-order calculations and structural-row assembly so the ordinary and custom-op paths use the same definitions. An explicit optimized adjoint may remain where justified; this is not a request to discard necessary derivative specialization. Keep the resulting PT and PT-expt implementations consistent as part of the same integration.

Validation and test scope

  • The two existing packed-consumer gate tests pass, but they do not catch the parameter-gradient failure.
  • Small CPU checks pass for band entries and quaternion gradients at lmax=1,2,3, and for the custom band op's values and first derivatives at lmax=3. The registration and parameter-gradient failures above were reproduced independently.
  • The added tests use 2048/4096-edge cases while missing registry construction, trainable channel-basis gradients, and PT-expt activation. Prefer small representative cases covering actual dispatch and tile boundaries, with shared backend coverage; justify larger ordinary-CI cases where necessary.
  • No GPU execution, full compiled-model validation, or performance/test-runtime measurement was performed in this review.

The module-level packed-Wigner gate helper accidentally carried the
register("SeZM") decorator, so the descriptor registry mapped "SeZM"
to a plain function and factory construction raised TypeError. Move the
decorator back onto DescrptSeZM and cover construction through the
registry for all four type keys.

Thank you for the round — and for catching the registration break.

1. Registration (P1) — fixed in d2616eb. The module-level gate helper had accidentally ended up under the register("SeZM") decorator, so the registry mapped "SeZM" to a plain function and factory construction raised TypeError. The decorator is back on DescrptSeZM (all four keys as on master), and a new test_registry_construction resolves each of SeZM/sezm/DPA4/dpa4 through BaseDescriptor.get_class_by_type, asserts it is the class, and constructs a descriptor through the registry. Verified in this tree: all four keys resolve to DescrptSeZM and construct.

2. Training scope — agreed, the PR's evidence and title are inference-only. I'll make the training gate explicitly retain the dense layout (packed eligibility becomes eval-only) rather than advertising packed training, and add coverage for the registered parameter-gradient path on the dense layout.

3. dpmodel backend — will carry the packed layout through the dpmodel cache path (keeping dpmodel free of PT imports), with shared behavioral coverage for both backends.

4. Level integration — DP_PACKED_D_INFER will be removed; selection rides the existing captured levels. I'll assess level 1 (no shape-dependent tuning decision) first as you suggest.

5. Wigner math consolidation — the low-order block formulas and band assembly in _wigner_band_impl() will be factored so the ordinary and custom-op paths share one set of definitions, keeping the specialized adjoint.

Items 2–5 are in progress; I'll report back per item with the verification.

Scoped delta review at d2616eb2ef0d3484aea8d08897a0e4955c5cdc80 versus previously reviewed 813b37c418a851c11427a8c4809ad56a258d8ae6.

The registration correction is sound: register("SeZM") is now attached to DescrptSeZM, beside the other three aliases, rather than to block_supports_packed_wigner. The added regression resolves all four aliases through BaseDescriptor.get_class_by_type, checks class identity, and constructs each descriptor. The diff is limited to this decorator relocation and the regression test.

I checked the exact-source AST and executed the four unchanged decorator expressions against a registry/class double; all four aliases attach and instantiate the class double, and the gate helper is undecorated. This is a bounded host check, not actual descriptor construction or a native/GPU run. The author's actual four-alias construction result is separately reported in their response. Seven current-head build/test/security workflows are still action_required, so they provide no new execution evidence.

This closes the registration concern only, not overall approval. The unchanged parameter-gradient/layout defect and the remaining integration/design requests in the existing review remain outstanding; the author explicitly reports items 2–5 in progress. I have not repeated those findings or duplicated that ongoing repair.

Thanks for the memory win. I am requesting changes for three items: the channel-basis gradient path appears to receive the banded Wigner tensor in a dense-only kernel, and the flag-on paths have no end-to-end or fallback coverage. The remaining docstring comments are non-blocking.

Note that the Test Python / Test CUDA workflows for this PR are still at action_required, so none of the new tests have run in CI yet.

Blocking: the band reaches a dense-only kernel in the channel-basis backward.

With the flag on, _packed_d(edge_cache) hands the (E, 3D-2) band to _rotate_mix_op. Its backward calls rotate_mix_basis_grad whenever rank > 0 and needs_input_grad[6] (the channel basis requires grad), and that helper recomputes the rotated feature through the dense _block_to_local_op (

), whose launcher in the unchanged so2_rotation.py reads wigner.stride(2) and assumes (E, D, D). The default radial_so2_mode="degree_channel" with rank=1 and a trainable basis reaches this path, and pt inference does not freeze parameters. The band value-path test builds the conv with trainable=False, so this cell is not exercised.

Please either make rotate_mix_basis_grad band-aware or keep the band off when the basis needs a gradient, and add a test with trainable=True and rank > 0. I traced this from the source and could not run it on GPU here, so please confirm on your side.

Training builds now always keep the dense Wigner surfaces: the
registered parameter-gradient consumers (the channel-basis backward of
the rotate-mix operator among them) address the dense surface, so a
training cache must never carry the band even when the bound kernels
could read it. The gate returns False for training before any consumer
check, and the gate matrix test asserts training rejection for
packed-capable blocks as well.

End-to-end coverage with DP_PACKED_D_INFER actually set drives the whole
chain (edge-cache build, per-block gate, consumers): the flag-on eval
cache carries the (E, 3D-2) band and never materializes the dense
surfaces, the same model in training builds the dense layout, and the
flag-off outputs are bitwise-equal. The unsupported branches are covered
as well: forward_band_fused falls back to the plain composition when the
op gate rejects (training), and forward_band raises for lmax >=
poly_lmin.

Thank you — the three blocking items and the five docstring notes are addressed in 0eb7874.

1. The band reaches a dense-only kernel in the channel-basis backward. Resolved structurally: the packed layout is now inference-only. block_supports_packed_wigner returns False for training before any consumer check, so a training cache never carries the band and the channel-basis gradient path always addresses the dense surface — the PR's evidence and title are inference, and the eligibility now says exactly that. The gate matrix test asserts training rejection for a fully packed-capable block (test_gate_follows_mode_and_captured_levels).

2. No end-to-end coverage with the flag set. TestSeZMPackedWignerEndToEnd sets DP_PACKED_D_INFER=1 (with DP_TRITON_INFER=2) and drives the whole chain on a real DescrptSeZM: a spy around _build_edge_wigner observes the cache build, the flag-on eval build returns the (E, 3D-2) band with both dense surfaces None, the same model in training builds the dense layout (the item-1 contract, end to end), and the flag-off run through the same consumers produces bitwise-equal outputs.

3. Unsupported branches. test_fused_falls_back_to_composition_when_op_unsupported (the op gate rejects in training; the fused entry returns the plain composition, compared for equality) and test_band_rejects_lmax_at_poly_lmin (forward_band raises RuntimeError at lmax >= poly_lmin).

Docstrings: wigner_band_op has full Parameters/Returns; the packed_wigner contract now refers to the gate for the complete exclusion set; _build_edge_wigner documents all four return values including D_packed; the m = -1 slot range is corrected to [D, 2D - 1); and the flag description states there is no on-demand unpack — the dense surfaces simply never exist in that mode, the Triton launchers reject a banded input on dense-addressing paths, and reference execution must not enable the flag.

Verification: the affected classes pass (gate matrix, band op + the two new branch tests, end-to-end); the full test_descriptor_sezm_triton.py passes at this head. The level-3-specific test_descriptor_sezm.py failures reported earlier on this branch reproduce with these changes stashed and pass at level 0 — pre-existing, as disclosed in my previous comment.

Scoped delta review of 0eb7874 versus d2616eb. The early training rejection now correctly keeps training caches dense, and the flag-on descriptor test, unsupported-branch coverage and documentation corrections are useful.

The existing channel-basis-gradient blocker is not fully resolved, however: .eval() does not disable autograd or freeze parameters. block_supports_packed_wigner(conv, False) still admits the rotate-mix band while the registered _rotate_mix_backward calls rotate_mix_basis_grad whenever rank > 0 and needs_input_grad[6]. That unchanged helper invokes the dense _block_to_local_op; its launcher still reads wigner.stride(2), which does not exist on the 2-D band. An eval-mode backward with a trainable channel basis therefore remains unsupported. The new descriptor test runs the packed eval forward inside torch.no_grad() and only switches to training for the dense control, so it does not exercise this residual case.

I independently executed the exact gate, registered-backward decision and dense launcher with shape/kernel doubles: eval admitted the band and reached the stride(2) IndexError; training rejected it; disabling the basis-gradient flag avoided that branch. This is a bounded host control, NOT a native Torch/Triton/CUDA numerical run. Please make the gradient consumer band-aware or ensure packed admission also excludes the relevant gradient-enabled eval case, and cover an eval backward with trainable rank>0 basis parameters. This follows the existing finding, not a new duplicate inline thread: #6071 (comment) .

The earlier backend integration, acceleration-level selection and Wigner-math consolidation requests are unchanged by this delta, so this is not overall approval. Seven current-head workflows remain action_required; the author's test report is not independently rerun here.

Eval mode does not freeze parameters: an eval backward against the
still-trainable channel basis (e.g. validation-loss gradients) reaches
the dense-only basis-grad helper of the rotate-mix backward, whose
launcher reads the dense Wigner strides that do not exist on the band.
The gate now rejects the layout whenever a rank>0 mixer carries a
channel basis that still requires grad, in either mode; freezing the
basis removes the gradient consumer and the band serves the ordinary
inference backward again.

The gate matrix covers both basis states, and the end-to-end class
gains an eval-backward case: trainable basis -> dense cache with real
parameter gradients, frozen basis -> the band returns.

Addressed in f9e5fbb — thank you for the eval-mode demonstration.

The gate now excludes the gradient-enabled case explicitly: block_supports_packed_wigner rejects the layout whenever a rank>0 mixer carries a channel basis that still requires grad, in either mode (.eval() does not freeze parameters, and an eval backward against the basis — validation-loss gradients — reaches the dense-only helper whose launcher reads wigner.stride(2)). Freezing the basis removes the gradient consumer, and the band then serves the ordinary inference (force) backward.

Coverage:

  • The gate matrix asserts both basis states (requires_grad True -> dense, False -> eligible) next to the packed-capable control.
  • test_eval_backward_with_trainable_basis_keeps_dense runs the requested case end to end: an eval forward + backward with a trainable rank-2 basis builds the dense cache and produces real parameter gradients (asserting the basis actually received one, so the case is not vacuous), then freezing the basis brings the band back on the next eval build.
  • The existing flag-on end-to-end test now freezes the basis first — matching the production inference configuration where the compiled artifact bakes the parameters as constants.

Full test_descriptor_sezm_triton.py at this head: 47 passed, 1 pre-existing skip; the end-to-end class passes both tests.

Scoped delta review of 0eb7874 -> f9e5fbb: the eval-mode channel-basis-gradient admission issue from my previous review is addressed. The gate now rejects a rank>0 mixer with a trainable channel basis before dropping the dense Wigner surfaces, including in eval mode. Freezing that basis re-admits the packed-capable configuration. This matches the registered backward's basis-gradient condition and preserves the existing unconditional training exclusion.

I executed ten bounded checks of the exact source gate with host doubles: both Triton bindings, train/eval modes, trainable/frozen bases, rank zero, and a live freeze transition passed. I also inspected the new descriptor regression: it performs an eval backward and asserts an actual basis gradient while observing a dense cache. Its frozen-basis control checks packed admission under no_grad; it does not independently validate a frozen-basis force backward. These are host/source checks, not my own native descriptor/Torch/CUDA run. The author's reported 47 passes + one skip and two end-to-end passes remain separately attributed.

This closes the specific residual gradient-admission concern, not overall approval: the earlier dpmodel integration, acceleration-level selection and Wigner-math consolidation requests are unchanged by this three-file delta. All seven exact-head build/test/security workflows are still action_required, so no hosted execution evidence is added. No source or CI actions taken.
