to match the documented and tracked behavior: rectangular graphs are supported
with plans, while rectangular bottom-right graphs are declined; do not claim the
lowering supports square graphs only. Preserve the explanation that the top-left

- Around line 1607-1610: Update the SM89 adapter constructor, centered on

lower_dsl_prefill validation succeeds. Make check_support use the supplied
device_cc tuple as the allowed compute-capability pairs, including (8, 9),
instead of requiring only (8, 0), and propagate flavor_params into the SM89 plan
configuration.
- Around line 1524-1614: Update mismatch() to reject grouped or multi-query
attention for the SM89 row by returning a mismatch when capabilities.sm_lo
equals 89 and facts.h_q differs from facts.h_kv. Preserve existing behavior for

BandSupport values.

Correct the "empty claim" wording; BandSupport() is the unmasked-only claim.
The default field values are {RIGHT_UNBOUNDED}, {LEFT_NONE}, and {ANCHOR_TOP_LEFT}, and unmasked_only() returns exactly cls(). __post_init__ also rejects an empty set on every axis, so an empty claim is not constructible. A row author who reads this sentence can declare BandSupport() expecting the row to decline every band, while the row serves unmasked graphs.

| frozen gptoss geometry as ``sdpa_fwd_prefill_sm80``, on a part with 99 KiB of | ||
| opt-in SMEM per block instead of A100's 164 KiB. | ||
|
|
||
| This row exists because "the SM80 kernels do not run on Ada" is an | ||
| ARTIFACT OF THE SHARED SKELETON'S LARGEST FLAVOR: the SM80 row has to carry | ||
| the d=256 flavor, whose pinned point allocates 128 KiB (sQ_buf 64 KiB + | ||
| sK_buf 64 KiB), so cc 8.0 exactly is the honest gate for that row. The d64 | ||
| gptoss point allocates 32 KiB and fits Ada with room to spare, so it is | ||
| served here under a box that claims ONLY what was measured on an L20. | ||
|
|
||
| Deliberately narrow (see the SM89 execution plan's scope table): | ||
| * forward, FP16/BF16, prefill only. No backward, no FP8/MXFP8, no | ||
| native-FP32 output. | ||
| * ``d_shapes={(64, 64)}`` exactly, ``d_pad_multiple=1``: the adapter pads | ||
| head dims host-side, so a graph with d < 64 rides the d64 kernel rather | ||
| than any envelope, and a graph with d > 64 is declined instead of | ||
| silently landing on the 128-wide flavor (which does not fit Ada). | ||
| * dense BSHD / dense_flex only: THD is gated off by the SM80 forward row | ||
| already, and the L20 run did not qualify it. | ||
| * masks: the band claim is explicit and RESTRICTED (see ``band=`` below), | ||
| because the legacy capability flags can only WIDEN a row. Measured on | ||
| the L20: unmasked, top-left causal and ``sliding_window_length=W`` (W | ||
| keys ending at self), on square AND rectangular graphs (256x512 and | ||
| 512x256 both get a plan). NOT claimed: the bottom-right anchor — a | ||
| rectangular bottom-right-causal graph is DECLINED by this row (the | ||
| backend's plans stand instead), which the test file pins as a rejection | ||
| rather than a silent fallback; and right-band widening, whose kwarg is | ||
| accepted and IGNORED (the served output is bit-identical to plain | ||
| top-left causal with and without ``diagonal_band_right_bound``), so | ||
| advertising it would be a false capability. ``padded``/``sink``/ | ||
| ``bias``/``decode`` are NOT claimed either: each needs its own L20 | ||
| evidence, and the SM80 row keeps serving A100 regardless. | ||
| * ``tile_ms``/``tile_ns`` stay empty: the tile geometry is the row's | ||

Decline GQA/MQA in mismatch().
For a dense Ada graph with Q (B, 4, S, 64) and K/V (B, 2, S, 64) in FP16 or BF16, graph analysis sets facts.h_q=4 and facts.h_kv=2. The SM89 capability checks then pass. pack_gqas={False} does not reject ordinary GQA. Therefore analyze_for() returns no mismatch and can propose sdpa_fwd_prefill_sm89, although the tracker marks GQA/MQA unsupported.
SdpaFwdDslSm80.check_support() only requires H_q % H_kv == 0, so it does not provide the required row-level decline. Add an SM89 head-count gate in mismatch():
+ if capabilities.sm_lo == 89 and facts.h_q != facts.h_kv:
+ return "GQA / MQA is not claimed by this SM89 row"The current lowering can also fail earlier because SdpaFwdDslSm80 does not declare the SM89 api_ctor_extra keys. That is a separate adapter-construction issue, not a GQA/MQA gate.

The row's rationale contradicts its own docstring and the tracker.
This comment states the lowering serves square graphs only (S_q == S_kv) and derives the anchor restriction from that. Lines 1548-1551 of the same docstring state the opposite: rectangular graphs (256x512 and 512x256) get a plan, and a rectangular bottom-right graph is declined. python/cudnn/sdpa/frost/SUPPORT_MATRIX_TRACKER.md Lines 935-939 and 954-956 repeat the rectangular claim. One of the two statements is wrong, and the anchor restriction's justification depends on which. Correct the comment so the recorded reason matches the measured behavior.

Make the SM89 adapter consume device_cc and flavor_params.
lower_dsl_prefill validates api_ctor_extra against inspect.signature(SdpaFwdDslSm80.__init__). That signature declares neither key; **kwargs does not satisfy this check. The SM89 row therefore raises ValueError before adapter construction when selected.
Adding the parameters alone is not sufficient. check_support() still derives _device_cc from the device and requires (8, 0), so it would reject SM89. Treat device_cc=((8, 9),) as the allowed set of (major, minor) pairs and apply flavor_params to the SM89 plan.

The assertion runs outside the loop, so only the last restricted row is checked.
expected is rebuilt on every iteration and the assert is dedented, so it executes once with the final value of name. Iteration follows _rows() (forward rows first, then backward), so the backward MXFP8 row is the one asserted and the sdpa_fwd_prefill_sm89 claim this test was written for is never compared. A wrong SM89 band claim would pass here.
Ruff reports the same symptom as B007 on Line 211.

Cover the declared rejection cases or remove the unsupported claim.
The only _facts call passes d; no call passes thd, fp8, dtype, or decode. The module docstring claims that fp8, THD, and decode rejection are covered, but the only probe cases cover head dimensions. The unused parameters therefore expose a current gap between the stated coverage and the exercised tests, not only a hypothetical future misuse.
Implement these parameters and add the matching rejection cases, or remove the unused parameters and update the docstring to remove those coverage claims.

Thank you for your contribution! Centralizing the band geometry makes sense, and an independent base/head comparison preserved the decisions and rejection messages of all 13 existing rows over 2496 facts. However, this diff also adds an Ada engine, despite the description saying there are no new kernel capabilities. That addition is incomplete: its manifest slot and adapter/configuration implementation are missing. On an actual SM89 GPU the added suites report 27 failures and 30 passes. Please complete that integration or split the Ada addition into a follow-up; I am withholding approval until it is usable. The explicit-band declaration issue below is nonblocking.
[P1 · blocks approval] Register the new SM89 engine in the manifest (source)
Appending _sm89_spec() here does not expose it to dispatch. FrostSdpaFwdEngines only instantiates specs whose names occur in the manifest-provided ids, and engines/manifest.py has no sdpa_fwd_prefill_sm89 slot. Consequently, even with FROST enabled on cc 8.9, every new numerical/selected-plan test fails before launching the Ada kernel because no such plan is offered. Append a new stable, opt-in manifest slot without reusing retired IDs, and retain the explicit route assertions. This blocks approval because the entire newly advertised engine is unreachable and its added test suite is red, rather than an isolated unsupported edge case.
Evidence: On L40S, test_sm89_row_is_registered_and_opt_in fails and all 21 added numerical/selected-plan cases fail with 'no plan for engine sdpa_fwd_prefill_sm89'. Source tracing confirms the engine factory silently filters the unregistered spec. Attribution: Introduced by this PR's new SM89 engine row and tests; the manifest was not updated.
- [P1 · blocks approval] Still open: Complete the Ada adapter and configuration implementation.
[P2] Allow an explicit band declaration without duplicating legacy flags (source)
Both forward and backward post_init require every explicit BandSupport to equal the legacy-derived set, even when all legacy flags were left at their defaults. For example, band=BandSupport.causal_and_unmasked() raises with no legacy flags supplied, and a causal-only set cannot be expressed at all because from_legacy_flags always includes unbounded. This contradicts the advertised independent/restricted-set spelling; the error's advice to clear flags does not help. Distinguish an omitted legacy declaration from a conflicting one and add band-only construction tests. When enabling genuinely restricted sets, also make the matcher check the unbounded/no-left-bound/top-left cases, so absence of a graph flag cannot bypass a restricted claim.
Evidence: Independent construction probes against this head reproduce the ValueError for causal_and_unmasked and causal-only declarations in both Capabilities classes. Existing engine rows retain their legacy behavior in the separate parity probe. Attribution: Introduced by the new explicit-band normalization contract in both capability classes.
Validation: Exact-head test_band_capabilities.py plus test_sm89_d64.py on L40S (SM89), cuDNN 9.25.1 and CuTe DSL 4.7, with -m 'L0 or L1': 30 passed, 27 failed, no skips. All 23 band-model tests passed; the failures are in Ada registration, adapter/configuration and route selection, before kernel execution. Existing graph-analyzer suite: 137 passed. Independent comparison against base ebe3bba: 13 existing forward/backward rows, 2496 fact combinations, zero differences in acceptance or rejection text; each row's non-mask baseline was separately required to be accepted. Repeated CPU matcher microprobe measured base medians 5.75 and 5.94 us/call versus head 6.95 and 6.96 us/call. This is about 1.0-1.2 us extra in support matching, not an execute-path or GPU timing result; I am not treating that bounded overhead as an approval blocker. Publication recheck: develop advanced to 5567e27 through #1132 while the PR head remained unchanged. Its prepared dense-launch changes do not supply the missing Ada registration/configuration or alter the checked capability declarations. Automatic CI is deferred because the added engine still requires substantive integration fixes.
Limitations: No Ada numerical or GPU-performance claim is possible because the new engine never reaches execution. Existing-engine GPU kernels were not benchmarked; their source is unchanged and the checked change is in capability matching. The independent matcher comparison covers the stated finite set, not every possible graph or future restricted BandSupport declaration.
I am withholding approval for the high-risk P1 findings above and leaving a COMMENT. Please address them before merging.

…A#601) cudnn/sdpa/band.py separates the band a GRAPH asks for (BandFacts: left bound, right mode unbounded / causal / finite-right, top-left or bottom-right anchor, plus the bottom-right anchor needs a diagonal rule) from the band SET a row serves (BandSupport). The legacy mask flags can only WIDEN a row -- each defaults to False and a True is a yes -- so a restricted claim such as "this kernel serves unmasked graphs only" was not expressible at all. No consumer yet: this commit adds the model, its vocabulary and the decline sentences it composes.
) Capabilities (forward and backward) gains an appended band field, resolved once in __post_init__ from the legacy mask flags by the single normalization layer BandSupport.from_legacy_flags. A row that needs a RESTRICTED claim declares band directly; declaring both is accepted only while they agree exactly, and a contradiction raises instead of one spelling silently winning by field order. The field is APPENDED, so the positional prefix contract holds -- the append-only test pins it and still constructs the pre-band positional order. The canonical band also gives the KV-tail rule one definition (BandFacts.covers_kv_tail), previously re-derived inline at each call site.
Covers every shipped row, both construction spellings, the three sequence geometries, both anchors, the left and right bounds, padding and length boundaries, and the negative cases (unsupported layout, invalid required input, conflicting declarations, a future narrow-capability dummy row). Has no SM89 expectations in this PR: on this base there is no Ada row, so the shipped-rows inventory is the unmodified one.

Thank you for your contribution! Removing the incomplete Ada integration resolves both previous approval-blocking findings and brings the diff back to the stated band-model scope. The current-head focused suite passes, and all 13 existing engine rows preserve the independently checked acceptance decisions and rejection text. The previously reported P2 remains: an explicit band-only declaration still has to duplicate the legacy flags, and a causal-only claim cannot be constructed. Please address that construction contract before relying on it for new restricted rows; it does not block this behavior-preserving refactor.
- [P2] Still open: Allow an explicit band declaration without duplicating legacy flags.
Validation: Exact-head test_band_capabilities.py and test_sdpa_graph_analyzer.py: 160 passed, no skips or deselections, using PyTorch 2.13 / cuDNN 9.25.1 on SM89. These are capability/analyzer tests, not Ada kernel numerical validation. Reran the independent 13-row, 2496-fact probe against the current head and compared every acceptance/rejection string with the retained base and prior-head results: zero differences; every non-mask row baseline remains accepted. The separate explicit-construction negative probes still reproduce the P2. Current matcher median is 6.960 us/call versus 6.952/6.957 us for the prior reviewed head. The previously measured original-base medians were 5.754/5.936 us, so the roughly 1 us plan-time representation cost remains; this revision adds no observable additional matcher cost.
Limitations: This incremental revision changes no GPU kernels or execution paths. Numerical and GPU performance claims are not inferred from the capability tests. The current-head Style workflow is awaiting maintainer approval and no current-head FROST pipeline is recorded yet; neither is counted as passing.
Approved: no P0 or high-risk P1 found. Remaining findings stay with the owner; merge timing stays with the owner.

Thank you for your contribution! The remaining explicit-band declaration issue is resolved: band-only causal claims now construct successfully, conflicting set legacy flags are rejected, and the matcher checks the unbounded/no-left-bound/top-left cases against restricted claims. No remaining correctness findings from my review. The existing approval stays in place.
Validation: Current-head band-capability and graph-analyzer suites: 162 passed, no skips or deselections, on SM89 with PyTorch 2.13 / cuDNN 9.25.1. Independent existing-row parity probe: 13 rows and 2496 facts retain exactly the prior acceptance/rejection strings. The four forward/backward explicit-construction probes that previously raised now succeed. An additional independent oracle checked all 1512 combinations of nonempty right/left/anchor claim sets and graph requests across forward/backward matchers. Expected results were derived directly from set membership and diagonal coherence, without calling the model's decision helpers; all passed. Matcher CPU median was 6.864 us/call versus 6.960 us in the previous reviewed head, with no observed additional plan-time overhead. GPU kernels and execution paths are unchanged, so this is not a GPU performance claim.
Limitations: These are focused plan-time behavior checks, not a full GPU numerical sweep. The latest-head Style workflow is awaiting maintainer approval.

Problem
The four mask capability flags (
causal,bottom_right,swa,right_band_widening) can only widen a row: each defaults to False and a True is a yes. A restricted claim such as "this kernel serves unmasked graphs only" is not expressible at all, even thoughsdpa_bwd_sm100_mxfp8already is one, and an incoming SM89 d64 row needs to be another.Change
cudnn/sdpa/band.pyadds two objects and keeps them deliberately distinct:BandFactsis the band a graph asks for: left bound, right mode (unbounded / causal / finite-right), the diagonal anchor, plus the one real combination rule (a bottom-right anchor needs a diagonal to anchor to).BandFacts.covers_kv_tailis the band x geometry rule that was previously re-derived inline at each call site.BandSupportis the band set an engine serves. Every axis refuses an empty set, so the defaultBandSupport()is the NARROWEST claim (unbounded / no left bound / top-left, i.e.unmasked_only()); the convenience constructors name the shapes rows actually take. A row may declarebandALONE: only the legacy flags that are actually SET constrain it, each of them must be inside the declared band, and an all-default legacy block is the spelling of "nothing declared". A causal-only set -- which the flags cannot spell, becausefrom_legacy_flagsalways serves the unbounded case -- is therefore expressible.Capabilities(forward and backward) gains an appendedbandfield, resolved once in__post_init__by the single normalization layerBandSupport.from_legacy_flags. The probes decide with the model, not the flags, and they ask every axis in BOTH directions: the right-mode and left-mode checks are membership tests on the mode the graph requests (unbounded and no-left-bound included), and the anchor check is symmetric across both anchors. Absence of a graph flag therefore cannot bypass a restricted claim, which the legacy one-way checks could not prevent.Compatibility
The field is appended, so the positional prefix contract holds, and the append-only test was extended rather than deleted. Declaring both spellings is accepted only while they state the same claim; a contradiction raises at construction rather than one spelling silently winning by field order. The flags stay the declaration spelling of every pre-existing row, so no existing row had to change.
Behaviour preservation
Base versus patch, two separate processes against two checkouts, an independent comparer, and nothing filtered:
bandfields (the representation change)The census builds, per row, a legal facts sample that satisfies every non-mask constraint, so an arch or dtype rejection cannot mask a mask-behaviour change; all 13 rows report
baseline_ok=true. Harness credibility was checked as well: an A/A run on the unmodified tree produces 0 diffs, and an injected-diff negative control makes the comparer exit 1.One finding worth stating: no shipped row declines causal today, and the only genuinely restricted row is
sdpa_bwd_sm100_mxfp8-- which is exactly why the model has to be able to express "unmasked only" for rows that do not exist yet.Tests
test/python/sdpa/frost/test_band_capabilities.py: 25 collected / 25 passed (including band-only construction and the per-axis symmetry cases)The matrix covers all three sequence geometries, both anchors, default and extended right bounds, left bound presence and length, padding and length boundaries, positive and negative layout cases, and the four construction spellings including conflicting declarations.

Capability-table import and build: 79.3 / 82.3 ms base versus 78.6 / 80.1 ms patched, no stable difference.
mismatch()per call over the 754-fact sweep: 8.438 / 9.568 us base versus 9.657 / 9.891 us patched (ABBA, re-measured on the review-follow-up head), so the band model adds on the order of +1 us per call rather than a fixed percentage, stable in both arms. Decomposed: the old four boolean reads cost 0.16 us, the new path costs ~1.0 us to normalize the facts and ~1.5 us to build and query the model. Across 13 rows that is roughly 22 us per graph, negligible beside lowering and compilation. This is a representation cost, not a speedup; the value is that a restricted claim is expressible and the KV-tail rule has one definition.Not in scope
Kernel mask algorithms, new kernel capabilities, shape and layout limits, user-facing graph-API mask semantics, and any cross-architecture numerical claim -- this is plan-time behaviour only, audited on an L20. It does not redo the
bottom_right_with_swacleanup from #600, which is already closed.Related to #601.
