host_build_graph: overlap Graph recording with outer submissions

[TaoZQY]

Summary

• Publish a hash-keyed, zero-heap Graph task shell immediately on a graph miss, while a persistent worker records the node and builds the Definition from an owned argument copy.
• Let subsequent outer graph_submit calls continue after the hash is known; finalize deferred heap reservations at the next Graph barrier or orchestration completion.
• Make host phase tracing thread-safe and render graph submit main and graph record worker on separate Host Swimlane lanes.
• Add coverage for asynchronous overlap, all-Graph entry completion, failure cleanup, and legacy trace parsing on both A2A3 and A5 paths.

This implements the "record on a child thread once the hash is known" step of the Graph roadmap, together with the minimum decoupling of heap allocation from graph building needed to unblock it. The hash→graph table upload, the whole-graph size computation feeding a single rtMalloc, lifetime-analysis heap reuse in place of the ring, task_list/dep_pool compaction, and runtime pre-expansion are not in scope here. reserve_deferred_heap is deliberately narrow for now — when sizing moves to one pass over all tasks, this Graph-only path should dissolve into it rather than sit beside it.

Behavior change: an unsupported Graph body is now terminal

Previously a Graph body containing a construct Graph Execution cannot represent was survivable: graph_end returned false and the caller re-ran the body on the ordinary task-submit path.

The outer shell is now published before the body is recorded, so its task id and TensorMap producers are already in the sequence and the body cannot be replayed. graph_commit therefore latches PTO2_ERROR_INVALID_ARGS instead. This affects nested Graph recording, dispatch predicates, runtime allocation inside the body (alloc_tensors), unclassifiable internal Tensor sources, boundary scalars reached through mutable scalar(), non-positive block_num, subtask-count overflow, and more than 1024 internal nodes.

Conditions detectable before a shell is accepted still fall back to the ordinary path. GRAPH_EXECUTION.md carries the full split, and unit tests cover the terminal path through both an explicit abort and runtime allocation inside the body.

Concurrency contract

The overlap is safe because recording touches no shared orchestrator state: graph_record_submit_node, graph_classify_tensor and graph_classify_scalar read and write only the thread-private GraphRecording. Internal node outputs are addressed from a private range based at GRAPH_RECORD_VIRTUAL_BASE = 1ULL << 63 instead of real heap scratch, so the worker never moves the allocator.

That range is load-bearing: tensor-source classification separates an internal producer's output from a boundary tensor by address-range containment alone. PTO2TaskAllocator::init() asserts the configured heap lies entirely below the base, so an overlapping device GM heap fails loudly at setup instead of silently misclassifying a Tensor source into a cached Definition.

Where main and worker do meet:

• recording_mutex guards Definition publication and the boundary-signature reads that later same-hash submissions perform.
• recording_status is std::atomic because graph_prepare reads it without the mutex by design — acquiring it there lets a main-thread burst of same-hash submissions starve the worker before it can bind its recording state.
• active_graph_recording() carries the owning GraphHostState in a second thread-local, so a thread cannot record into a different orchestrator.
• rt_graph_async_recording() has external linkage. static inline gave every translation unit its own recorder and its own worker thread; the Graph Execution scene test's orchestration is three sources, so a commit reached from one did not wait for a recording another started.

Beyond graph_record_submit_node's isolation, the split between what main reads and what the worker writes is not enforced by a type or a lock, so WorkerRecordsWhileMainThreadSubmitsSameHashShells pins the functional contract that depends on it: a real second thread records against real orchestrator state while the main thread submits same-hash shells, asserting consistent definition_hash, correct per-shell heap extent, and pairwise disjoint ranges. The handshake is deterministic — the worker is proven to sit between graph_prepare and graph_end during the overlap.

Also in this PR

• HostPhaseRecord grows 32 → 40 bytes for the producer tid, so the pool grows 160 KiB → 200 KiB. Host DDR only; not on the wire. host_phase_pool_append's new parameter is defaulted, and a JSONL without tid still parses onto the main lane.
• The per-event pool is armed when the level-4 artifact is being written (producer wants records and an output prefix) or whenever the chip swimlane is at ORCH_PHASES. A steady-state run satisfies neither, so it pays no pool append.
• Phase counters are lock-free atomic adds on per-kind cache lines; only the pool append is serialized, and only when armed. An in-flight claim keeps a record that passed the active check from being attributed to a pass it does not belong to — begin/end clear active, then drain. The cheap active load stays in front of the claim because ORCH_PHASE_END runs on every submit-level operation.
• reserve_heap_scratch() / restore_heap_top() lose their last production callers; the deferred reservation that replaced them now has allocator-level coverage, alongside the heap-range invariant.
• graph_upload regresses 11.5%: the deferred back-patch moves the shells' heap reservation and content-hash write out of host_orch and into upload. The pair is what matters, and it is down 12.7%.

Testing

• Pre-commit checks: passed
• C++ unit tests: 107/107 passed
• WorkerRecordsWhileMainThreadSubmitsSameHashShells: 300 repeats on each arch, zero failures. Note that sanitizers.yml scopes ASAN and TSAN to pytest scene tests, so ctest never sees a sanitizer in CI; TSAN is additionally unusable on the dev box (a thread-free test segfaults before producing output). The test is therefore built to fail on a functional regression without needing a race detector.
• Python unit tests: 1646 passed, 13 skipped. One full-suite-only failure, test_second_child_failure_reaps_first, is pre-existing: reproduced on an isolated worktree built at this PR's first commit without any of the review fixes (2 failed / 1645 passed there). It is a forked-child close-budget overrun and passes standalone and per-file.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime now records first-miss graphs asynchronously with copied arguments, virtual output addresses, deferred heap allocation, synchronized lifecycle states, and commit-time finalization. Host tracing now records producer thread IDs and maps graph phases to worker or main-thread swimlanes.

Documentation describes the updated graph and profiling flows.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 31e70

This change moves graph recording onto a worker and overlaps it with outer submissions, but the current implementation still has unsynchronized recording-state access, split recorder state, unchecked argument-copy bounds, and an unbounded commit wait. These can cause undefined behavior, memory corruption, lost recordings, or hung graph execution, so the PR is not merge-ready until the concurrency, bounds, and failure-timeout paths are fixed.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with graphs in my burrow tonight,
A worker records while the main lane stays light.
Virtual paws mark each output in flight,
Commit brings the heap when the timing is right.
TIDs paint swimlanes in worker and main,
And tests hop twice through the asynchronous train.

offsetof on FakeRuntime is conditionally supported.

FakeRuntime contains std::mutex, std::condition_variable, and std::thread::id, so it is not guaranteed to be standard-layout. offsetof on a non-standard-layout type is conditionally supported and can raise a warning under -Winvalid-offsetof. Consider moving the synchronization members into a separate struct that FakeRuntime holds by pointer, so the prefix layout assertion stays well defined.

Add coverage for the synchronous fallback and for GraphOwnedArgs.

The test covers only the worker path. rt_submit_graph_impl also has a synchronous fallback when async.start returns false, and a second fallback when the owned-argument copy throws. The fake also ignores the CoreTaskArgs it receives, so the argument copy performed by GraphOwnedArgs is not validated.

Add one case that asserts the recorded arguments match the boundary arguments, and one case that exercises the fallback path.

Place it alongside the existing graph submission failure tests, and ensure it
exercises the relevant orchestrator behavior under a race detector when
available.

@coderabbitai Addressed the 6 actionable comments in their own threads. Answering the 7 nitpicks from the review summary here, since a review body has no thread to resolve.

Taken:

• test_hbg_graph_submit_failure.cpp:111-113 — assert extent and disjointness. Correct; distinct bases would still pass a wrong-extent finalization. Each finalized shell is now checked against PTO2_ALIGN_UP(required_heap + execution_storage_bytes, PTO2_ALIGN_SIZE) read from the published Definition, plus pairwise disjointness. I used the existing graph_host_definitions() accessor rather than adding a by-key helper.

• test_hbg_graph_async_submit.cpp:113-201 — validate the argument copy. This was the biggest real gap: GraphOwnedArgs is the class the whole asynchronous scheme rests on, and nothing exercised it. fake_graph_prepare now captures what it received, and RecordingReadsAnOwnedCopyOfTheBoundary asserts both halves of the contract — the values survive (count, tag, address, size, ndims, scalar) and the storage is not the caller's (&args and &args.tensor(0).ref() both differ). The values-only half alone would pass on a shallow copy.

• test_hbg_graph_submit_failure.cpp:93-99 — regression test against real orchestrator state. Added as WorkerRecordsWhileMainThreadSubmitsSameHashShells. A real second thread runs graph_prepare → submit_dummy_task → graph_end against the real orchestrator while the main thread pushes two same-hash shells through the in-flight branch.

  Two notes on how it is built. The handshake is deterministic, not timing-based: the worker signals after graph_prepare and blocks until the main thread has finished submitting, so it is proven to be between prepare and end during the overlap rather than probably being there. And on your race-detector suggestion — sanitizers.yml scopes both ASAN and TSAN to pytest scene tests, so ctest never sees a sanitizer in CI; TSAN is also unusable on this box (a thread-free test and even --gtest_list_tests segfault before producing output, so its shadow mapping does not come up on this aarch64 kernel). The test therefore asserts the functional contract that the field partitioning protects — consistent definition_hash, correct per-shell extent, pairwise disjoint heap ranges, no fatal — which fails on a regression without needing TSAN. 300 repeats on each arch, zero failures.

• pto_orchestration_api.h:583-630 — document the Invoke lifetime. Done, as a comment on rt_submit_graph_impl: invoke is copied into the recording job and runs after the caller's frame may have ended, so it must own everything by value, and capturing caller-frame storage — including the boundary args — is a use-after-free. That is exactly why the recorded body takes its boundary copy as a parameter.

  I did not extract the duplicated synchronous sequence. It is real duplication, but restructuring the author's control flow is beyond a review-fix pass; the lifetime contract was the part that would actually cost the next reader.

• pto_orchestrator.cpp:362-367 — owning-orchestrator identity. Done. A thread_local GraphHostState *g_active_graph_owner is set alongside the recording and cleared with it, and active_graph_recording() returns the recording only when the owner matches graph_state_from(orch).

Declined, with reasons:

• pto_orchestrator.cpp:1814-1845 — release the mutex before graph_submit_pending_definition. The premise does not hold for this runtime. Neither call spins: hbg is whole-graph-resident and reclaims nothing mid-run, so PTO2TaskAllocator::alloc reaches an immediate capacity verdict, and ensure_tensormap_capacity returns false straight away with "Device completion does not reclaim HBG TensorMap entries" (pto_orchestrator.cpp:1041-1060). The spin-until-a-wall-clock-backstop behaviour described is tensormap_and_ringbuffer's reclaiming allocator. There is no unbounded hold to shorten.

• test_hbg_graph_async_submit.cpp:49-50 — offsetof on a non-standard-layout type. Technically conditionally supported, but zero -Winvalid-offsetof warnings across every build of this branch, and the proposed fix restructures the fake behind a pointer indirection for no observed benefit. Reads as a net loss in test clarity.

---

On the summary's Merge Risk: High and its four cited causes: "split recorder state" and "unsynchronized recording-state access" were both fixed before this review posted (external linkage on the recorder; recording_status is std::atomic) — which is why two of the six threads came back isOutdated. "Unchecked argument-copy bounds" is unreachable through CoreTaskArgs and now carries a static_assert against the constant drift that would make it reachable. "Unbounded commit wait" is addressed in that thread.

Verification on the current head: cpput 107/107; a2a3sim and a5sim Graph Execution suites pass; a2a3 onboard Graph Execution 3/3 through task-submit on real silicon, which is what exercises the new heap-range assertion against a real GM base.

@ChaoWao: Verified on the current head.

The new tests cover the owned CoreTaskArgs copy, deterministic worker/main-thread overlap, finalized heap extent, and heap-range disjointness. The Invoke lifetime contract and the GraphHostState owner check are present in both A2A3 and A5.

I withdraw the mutex-release nitpick. In the HBG path, PTO2TaskAllocator and ensure_tensormap_capacity() reach an immediate capacity result. They do not wait for device completion to reclaim heap or TensorMap capacity.

I accept the retained offsetof layout check as a test-only trade-off. The reported warning-free builds support that decision.

I did not run the reported test suites because this sandbox cannot execute repository code. The source inspection is consistent with the reported results.

✏️ Learnings added

Learnt from: ChaoWao
URL: https://github.com/hw-native-sys/simpler/pull/1897

Timestamp: 2026-08-19T14:26:51.226Z
Learning: In the A2A3 and A5 HBG orchestrator implementations, same-hash `graph_begin()` submissions hold `GraphHostState::recording_mutex` through `graph_submit_pending_definition()`. This path uses `PTO2TaskAllocator` bump allocation and `ensure_tensormap_capacity()`, which return an immediate capacity result. HBG device completion does not reclaim TensorMap entries, so the reclaiming allocator behavior from `tensormap_and_ringbuffer` does not apply.

Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.

File: src/a2a3/runtime/host_build_graph/runtime/orchestrator_core/pto_orchestrator.cpp:1893-1897
Timestamp: 2026-08-19T14:24:38.332Z
Learning: In `src/a2a3/runtime/host_build_graph/runtime/orchestrator_core/pto_orchestrator.cpp` and the A5 counterpart, `PTO2OrchestratorState::graph_commit()` intentionally uses an unbounded condition-variable wait for asynchronous Graph recording. `PTO2_ALLOC_DEADLOCK_TIMEOUT_CYCLES` is a device allocator timeout and is not a valid bound for host-side Graph Definition construction. The recording worker completes the wait predicate by calling `graph_end()` on success or `rt_graph_abort()` on exceptions; `graph_end()` aborts when Definition construction fails. After `rt_graph_async_recording()` changed from `static inline` to external `inline`, the commit path joins the shared recording worker across orchestration translation units.
