Reviewed 82c5f80074f1 against base b100e34239d4.
Reviewed 82c5f80. No approval-blocking findings. The geometry correction makes sense: SWA work follows the full issued Q-cluster span, split-KV partitions the already-masked range, and D512 now distinguishes physical CTAs from MMA width. Candidate alternatives recompute their own split while preserving capability filtering and the candidate cap. Independent default-plan checks support the intended improvement in the sampled workloads.
Validation: Exact-head CPU geometry suite: 316 passed with CUDA hidden and torch.cuda.is_initialized() remaining false. An additional 20,000 randomized issued-range comparisons covered both diagonals, causal/noncausal windows, right-band widening and multiple Q/KV tile spans; all matched. Exact-head SM100 heuristic suite with L0 and L1 enabled: 36 passed, including explicit public-knob split/unsplit execution and plan roundtrip tests; cuDNN 9.26.0.51, CuTe DSL 4.7.0. Independent baseline-policy versus head-policy probe used identical head kernels and dependencies. All eight selected configurations across D128/D192/D256 SWA and D512 long-KV decode passed full FP64 O/LSE checks and changed-input replay with poisoned outputs. Interleaved ABBA measurements on those four local SM100 workloads found improved device time in all four. The three SWA defaults became unsplit and reduced host enqueue time; D512 host time was near parity. This check uses the independent branch without the prepared executor. Owner-triggered pipeline 68923007 was verified against the exact GitHub head. It is still running; the inspected SM90 Python lane has the four existing cuTile correlated-key failures, with 5,353 passed and 2,618 skipped. No duplicate CI was started.
Limitations: The local performance spot check used an SM100 device with 68 SMs, not a full B200. It does not independently reproduce the author's broader B200 or integrated-executor benchmark results, establish global optimality, or demonstrate model-level performance. Full CI is pending. Physical CTA accounting is launch geometry, not a complete occupancy model.
Comment only: GitHub does not allow reviewing one's own PR with approval/request-changes.

Pipeline 68923007 has finished for 82c5f80. One new P2 surfaced in the full suite: update the existing D128 tests for the expanded CGA shortlist. SM100 and SM103 each report the same four failures in Please preserve checks of the intended primary, required alternatives, capability validity and explicit-plan behavior, while removing the single-width/exact-list assumptions. Pinning is still meaningful when the width is already proposed: verify that the explicitly requested knob record is selected and executed. The associated docstrings also still say only one width is proposed. Independent local confirmation on the exact head: 4 failed / 67 deselected. Removing only the obsolete “cga already proposed; pin is moot” precondition in a temporary probe makes the original pinned-CGA2 numerical test pass. A separate explicit CGA1 test with SQ=129 and G=8 also passes O/LSE reference checks. This is a test-contract update, not evidence of a kernel correctness regression, but it leaves the required SM100 lane red until addressed. Other inspected results: SM80/SM120 FROST, SM100 linear/GEMM, builds/analysis and C++ sanitizer lanes passed. SM100/SM90 Python logs contain the four existing cuTile correlated-key failures.

FE OSS kernels or CuTeDSL — SM100 FP16/BF16 SDPA planning heuristics.
Summary
Correct the geometry supplied to the existing split-KV cost model:
Two production files change. Existing fitted constants are preserved. Structural tests check visible-tile arithmetic, physical CTA counts and candidate rescoring; they do not encode measured winners or fixed performance rankings.
Why
Raw cache length overestimates sliding-window work, and reusing a split decision after changing candidate geometry estimates a different launch. D512's MMA width also differs from its physical CTA count. These input corrections improve several representative defaults while keeping the current cost model bounded.
On a full 148-SM B200 with cuDNN 9.26.0.51 and CuTe DSL 4.8.0.dev0, old and new recommendation policies were evaluated on identical kernel sources and inputs in this independent develop-based branch, before the #1151 prepared executor. Seventeen predeclared workloads comprise 13 fresh cases and four known anchors. All 93 configurations in the two recommendation-list unions passed numerical and replay checks. Ten defaults changed and received ten alternating ABBA/BAAB blocks each (400 measured arms); seven defaults stayed unchanged.
Additional integrated validation
A separate integration check combines the heuristic refresh with #1151 prepared execution and #1152. On a full B200 with cuDNN 9.26.0.51 and CuTe DSL 4.8.0.dev0, four selected workloads / eight old-new default configurations passed full CPU FP32 O/LSE, actual FROST route, poisoned-output bitwise replay and changed-input replay checks. Both policies use identical integrated kernel/native sources. Ten alternating ABBA/BAAB blocks per workload give 40 blocks / 160 measured arms; every configuration uses prepared execution.
Absolute times are medians over ten blocks of each policy's two-arm mean; reductions are medians of paired ratios. Hot GPU averages 20 captured executions; host enqueue excludes completion, while eager wall directly includes it. These metrics are not added. SWA also changes scheduler when becoming unsplit. The H24 case remains near parity: hot/eager improve in 8/10 blocks, host improves in 4/10 and has a paired 0.66% increase. The other three hot/eager comparisons improve in 10/10 blocks. This confirms the tested default-policy effects on the integrated executor, not global optimality or model E2E performance. The earlier independent-branch measurements are archived separately.
These are component measurements of bounded recommendation lists, not an exhaustive configuration search or proof that a selected configuration is globally optimal. This patch leaves known model limits, including the D128 thin-decode default, unchanged. It does not claim FlashInfer/vLLM or model-level performance.
Related issues
Related to #1151 and #1152. This Python planning change is independently based on
developand has no new native ABI dependency.API and compatibility impact
No public signature, supported-version, capability, kernel-math or ABI changes. Default configuration choices can change for SM100 FP16/BF16 attention. Other architecture policies and quantized-input policies are unchanged. D512 physical CTA accounting is not a measurement of effective occupancy.
