User description

Summary

Implements RM-1462: MoE list_experts / extract_expert now work for memory-mapped GGUF layouts without loading the full file into a Vec<u8>.

• Add GgufTensorAccess (src/gguf/access.rs) so GgufLayout and GgufLayoutMmap share path, tensor directory, and payload-byte access.
• Refactor MoE extraction to list_experts_from / extract_expert_from over that trait; existing list_experts / extract_expert (&GgufLayout) remain unchanged for API compatibility.
• With the mmap feature, list_experts_mmap / extract_expert_mmap are thin aliases for mmap layouts.
• Copy policy: returned RawTensor::bytes are always owned Vec<u8> (mmap sources are borrowed only during the call).
• Integration test mmap_moe_extraction_matches_owned_stacked_and_per_expert asserts owned vs mmap parity for stacked and per-expert fixtures.

directory_matches

Reviewed GgufLayoutMmap::directory_matches against the issue description and existing tests (mmap_directory_matches_rejects_different_tensor_names, etc.). It already compares alignment, tensor-data offset, architecture, tensor count, and per-tensor name/dims/dtype/length/offsets. No code change was required.

Testing

• cargo fmt
• cargo clippy --all-features --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings
• cargo test --all-features --locked

Unresolved / follow-up

• Expert payloads are still cloned on return; zero-copy expert views would be a separate API decision.
• Aikido SAST scan was not run (MCP sign-in required in this environment).

Summary by cubic

Adds MoE expert listing and extraction for mmap-backed GGUF layouts, so downstream consumers no longer need to copy the whole file into a Vec<u8> to read expert weights.

• Introduces GgufTensorAccess so GgufLayout and GgufLayoutMmap share tensor-directory, path, and payload access.
• Refactors MoE extraction into list_experts_from / extract_expert_from over that trait; the existing list_experts / extract_expert (&GgufLayout) and new *_mmap aliases (with the mmap feature) reuse the same parsing.
• Returned expert payloads are always owned Vec<u8>; mmap memory is borrowed only during the call.
• directory_matches already compares tensor names, dims, dtypes, lengths, and offsets, so no change was needed there.
• Adds an integration test asserting owned/mmap parity on stacked and per-expert fixtures.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Enable MoE expert extraction from memory-mapped GGUF files

What Changed

• List and extract MoE experts directly from memory-mapped GGUF checkpoints without loading the entire file into a byte buffer.
• Support stacked and per-expert tensor layouts, with results matching extraction from owned checkpoints.
• Return expert payloads as owned buffers that can be used independently of the mapped file.

Impact

✅ MoE analysis on memory-mapped GGUF files
✅ No full-file byte-buffer copy for MoE analysis
✅ Consistent expert results across owned and mapped checkpoints

Walkthrough

MoE expert listing and extraction now work with owned and mmap-backed GGUF layouts through a shared tensor-access interface. Public APIs include generic helpers and feature-gated mmap aliases. Integration tests compare results for stacked and per-expert tensors.

Changes: MoE expert extraction

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared GGUF tensor access src/gguf/access.rs, src/gguf/mod.rs	GgufTensorAccess exposes the GGUF path, tensor directory, and borrowed payload bytes. Implementations cover owned layouts and, when enabled, mmap-backed layouts.
Generic MoE listing and extraction src/analysis/moe/extract.rs, src/analysis/moe/mod.rs, src/checkpoint/open.rs, src/gguf/map.rs, src/lib.rs	Listing and extraction use GgufTensorAccess. Owned-layout wrappers remain, and feature-gated mmap aliases are exposed. Extracted payloads are copied into owned buffers.
Owned and mmap parity checks tests/mmap_gguf.rs, CHANGELOG.md	Integration tests compare expert discovery and gate extraction for stacked and per-expert tensors. The changelog documents the support.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Review Summary

This PR adds the GgufTensorAccess trait and refactors MoE extraction to work over both owned GgufLayout and mmap-backed GgufLayoutMmap, which is a sound approach. The implementation correctly clones tensor bytes into owned Vec<u8> on return, the slice boundary arithmetic is properly overflow-checked, and the integration test covers both stacked and per-expert naming conventions.

Three issues require attention before merge:

1. Silent expert drop in record_expert_pairs — a tensor that matches the stacked-name pattern but has rank < 2 causes the function to return early, silently skipping the tensor entirely. list_experts reports zero pairs with no diagnostic, which is a misleading result.

2. #[cfg]-before-doc-comment on list_experts_mmap and extract_expert_mmap — placing #[cfg(feature = "mmap")] before /// doc lines makes those doc comments conditionally compiled away. The standard ordering is doc comment first, then #[cfg].

3. Integration test does not verify slice correctness — mmap_moe_extraction_matches_owned_stacked_and_per_expert asserts that owned and mmap paths agree, but never checks that each extracted expert contains the expected values. A bug that returns the same (wrong) expert for every index would pass silently.

[amazon-q-developer]

🛑 Logic Error: When parse_stacked_name matches (tensor is named as a stacked expert) but stacked_expert_count returns None (rank < 2), the function silently returns without inserting any pairs and without falling through to per-expert name parsing. A tensor named blk.0.ffn_gate_exps.weight with only one dimension is silently ignored — list_experts reports zero pairs with no error, so callers have no way to know an expert tensor exists but is malformed. Either propagate this as an error or remove the early return so per-expert parsing can serve as a fallback.

[amazon-q-developer]

🛑 Logic Error: The #[cfg(feature = "mmap")] attribute is placed before the doc comment (///), which means the doc comment is also conditionally compiled. In Rust, outer attributes apply to the item that follows them — placing #[cfg] before a /// doc comment is non-standard; the standard pattern is /// comments first, then #[cfg]. More critically, if another tool or rustdoc processes these without the mmap feature, the doc string disappears entirely. The same issue applies to extract_expert_mmap at line 122.

Suggested change

	#[cfg(feature = "mmap")]
	/// Enumerate MoE `(block, expert)` pairs from a memory-mapped layout.
	///
	/// Identical to [`list_experts_from`] on [`crate::GgufLayoutMmap`].
	pub fn list_experts_mmap(layout: &crate::GgufLayoutMmap) -> Vec<(usize, usize)> {
	list_experts_from(layout)
	}
	/// Enumerate MoE `(block, expert)` pairs from a memory-mapped layout.
	///
	/// Identical to [`list_experts_from`] on [`crate::GgufLayoutMmap`].
	#[cfg(feature = "mmap")]
	pub fn list_experts_mmap(layout: &crate::GgufLayoutMmap) -> Vec<(usize, usize)> {
	list_experts_from(layout)
	}

[amazon-q-developer]

Same #[cfg]-before-doc-comment issue as list_experts_mmap. Move the doc comment above the #[cfg(feature = "mmap")] attribute.

Suggested change

	#[cfg(feature = "mmap")]
	/// Extract one MoE expert from a memory-mapped layout.
	///
	/// Identical to [`extract_expert_from`] on [`crate::GgufLayoutMmap`].
	pub fn extract_expert_mmap(
	layout: &crate::GgufLayoutMmap,
	block: usize,
	expert: usize,
	) -> Result<MoeExpertWeights> {
	extract_expert_from(layout, block, expert)
	}
	/// Extract one MoE expert from a memory-mapped layout.
	///
	/// Identical to [`extract_expert_from`] on [`crate::GgufLayoutMmap`].
	#[cfg(feature = "mmap")]
	pub fn extract_expert_mmap(
	layout: &crate::GgufLayoutMmap,
	block: usize,
	expert: usize,
	) -> Result<MoeExpertWeights> {
	extract_expert_from(layout, block, expert)
	}

[amazon-q-developer]

🛑 Logic Error: The test verifies that owned and mmap extraction return the same bytes, but never verifies that the extracted bytes are actually the correct expert's slice. A regression that always returns expert 0's data (or any fixed slice) would pass this test as long as both paths return the same wrong slice. Add a content assertion such as checking that the extracted bytes decode to the expected (e as f32) + 0.1 values to catch slice-offset bugs.

  CodeAnt Nitpicks

2 code suggestions

1. A parsed zero-byte stacked tensor can have a huge last dimension, and this helper expands every index into the set, exhausting time and memory despite having no payload.

Performance · src/analysis/moe/extract.rs:41-49

---

2. load_gguf_mmap is feature-gated, so this unconditional crate-level link is unresolved when generating documentation without the mmap feature.

Linked issue analysis

Linked issue: RM-1462: feat(moe): extract_expert / list_experts on mmap-backed layouts

Status	Acceptance criteria	Notes
✅	List experts from mmap layouts without cloning the file	list_experts_from uses GgufTensorAccess, whose mmap implementation reads the mapped tensor directory directly.
✅	Extract expert payloads from mmap layouts and document copying	extract_expert_from reads mmap payloads and returns owned Vec buffers; its documentation states this copy policy.
✅	Share name parsing and stacked-stride logic across layouts	Both layout types use the same generic extraction and parsing helpers through GgufTensorAccess.
✅	Test stacked and per-expert extraction on a mapped file	The integration test compares owned and mmap extraction results for stacked and per-expert fixtures.
