Record the benchmark driver provenance.
The checked-in benchmark_mamba2.py emits environment.frontend_path, but both BF16 and FP32 artifacts omit it and exclude the driver from source_sha256. This does not prove that the artifacts were edited or generated by another revision, but it leaves the measurement driver unresolved.
Record the actual driver revision or hash used for each artifact. Document that frontend_path was intentionally sanitized. Apply the same metadata correction to the BF16 and FP32 artifacts; rerunning the B200 benchmark is not required.

Codex bot review · model: gpt-6-astra
Reviewed b0fbbe521e1c against base ebe3bba998b8.
No additional correctness or approval-blocking findings in the declared SM100/BF16/P=N=64/chunk=32 scope. The plan-time compilation, caller-owned workspace, optional-state contract and first-order autograd integration look consistent. Retaining the existing benchmark-provenance nit below. This is COMMENT because the PR belongs to the account running this review.
- [P3] Still open: Retain the benchmark driver provenance.
Validation: Ran all 17 new tests on SM100 with stable CuTeDSL 4.7/cuDNN 9.26: 17 passed, zero skips. This includes independent FP64 output/state/all-gradient checks, allocation-free execute, pointer rebinding, stream concurrency, CUDA Graph training replay and torch.compile training. The same 17 tests also passed on the separate development-toolchain environment. Added 12 independent FP64 comparison cases: all passed for output, final state and every input gradient. Coverage included multiple batches, odd heads-per-group, partial chunks, initial-state-only and gate-only combinations, both intermediate precisions, checkpoint reuse, strong/zero/weak-positive recurrence rates, and timestep values near the softplus branches and in its negative tail. Import/signature/knob/device regressions: 26 passed; the two backend-plan knob tests failed identically on exact base ebe3bba with FROST enabled, selecting the existing GEMM engine instead of the backend assumed by those tests. Reproduced the complete FP32-intermediate benchmark against clean upstream e9594ce1c732d97440f0332fdc43170a2294dbfa, including all numerical gates. At B=2,L=2048,H=64,G=1 on the local 68-SM SM100 device, ungated forward+backward was 1302 us versus 1842 us for Triton (1.41x); gated was 1547 us versus 2040 us (1.32x). These are CUDA Graph device times, not the B200 measurements in the PR. Recorded warmed CPU submission samples separately: at the benchmark shape, medians were approximately 121 us for prepared forward, 217 us for prepared backward and 219 us for the public forward adapter. Host scheduling was noisy; this is a baseline for a new API, not evidence of a regression.
Limitations: One prerelease DSL/compiler stack failed to compile the combined backward state scan with a register-allocation error; the stable 4.7 control passed the full benchmark and suite. I have not classified that development-toolchain failure as a defect in this PR. Recording actual loaded DSL/compiler versions alongside the benchmark would help preserve this distinction. Independent validation was on one SM100 device. I did not repeat the author's sanitizer runs or establish model-level convergence. Full PR CI is not yet available; merge-requirements currently also reports missing Project/Milestone metadata.
Comment only: GitHub does not allow reviewing one's own PR with approval/request-changes.

Adds native Mamba-2 SSD forward and first-order backward through the existing linear-attention graph architecture:
MAMBA2/MAMBA2_BWDnodes, themamba2_frostengine, andcudnn.linear_attention.mamba2PyTorch custom ops with autograd. This covers timestep preprocessing, recurrent state, grouped B/C gradients, optional skip/SiLU, and initial/final-state gradients.Plans compile from declarations at build time, reuse the shared FROST artifact cache, and execute using caller-owned workspace. The PyTorch adapter caches plans by metadata, provides private workspace per call, and supports
torch.compileand warmed CUDA Graph training capture. It follows the GDN/KDA integration path.Supported scope
