This PR was created by dougljia via Test Gap Resolver.

Summary

  • Adds tests/unit_tests/backends/megatron/kimi_k3/test_attention_residual.py, the file the module docstring already claimed existed.
  • Independent candidate-by-candidate RMS-score / unnormalised-value oracle (not a copy of the production eager kernel), plus num_blocks=0 identity, hidden-size ValueError, dtype cast-back, and gradcheck.

Closes test gap PRPUNDIT-22.

Test plan

  • CI with megatron.core: pytest tests/unit_tests/backends/megatron/kimi_k3/test_attention_residual.py (skipped on this host; megatron.core not importable)
  • black --check / isort --profile black on the new files

Closes PRPUNDIT-22. Independent RMS-score / unnormalised-value oracle,
plus num_blocks=0 identity, hidden-size guard, and gradcheck.

🟡 Changes recommended

The current gradcheck test does not actually validate gradients w.r.t. norm_weight/proj_weight because the lambda ignores the passed weight inputs.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

This PR adds missing unit coverage for the Kimi K3 AttentionResidualMixer.forward implementation, aiming to lock in key correctness details (unnormalised mixing, rank-1 scorer factorisation, internal fp32+ compute with dtype cast-back) and close a test gap tracked in PRPUNDIT-22.

Changes:

  • Add an independent oracle-style unit test suite for AttentionResidualMixer covering correctness, dtype behavior, shape validation, num_blocks=0 identity behavior, and gradcheck.
  • Add __init__.py to ensure the tests/unit_tests/backends/megatron/kimi_k3 directory is treated as a package.

pytest.importorskip's return value was never used; call it for its
side effect (skip if megatron.core is unimportable) without binding it.

TestIntel PR Steward: taken — fixed in 529ccbf by calling pytest.importorskip(...) without binding the result, matching your suggestion.

TestIntel PR Steward: skipping this one — the lambda's parameter list ignores nw/pw, but the tuple passed to gradcheck is (prefix_sum, block_residual, mixer.norm_weight, mixer.proj_weight), i.e. the exact same tensor objects the mixer reads internally (see the comment directly above the assert). gradcheck's numerical Jacobian perturbs each input tensor's storage in place, and its analytical Jacobian calls autograd.grad(output, inputs) against those same leaf objects — both work correctly by object identity even though the lambda's own argument names go unused. So the check does validate gradients w.r.t. norm_weight/proj_weight today. Happy to revisit if you have a concrete case where this breaks, but I don't want to change working gradient-check plumbing without one.

  • Unused mcore_module binding: fixed — pushed 529ccbf, which drops the unused assignment and calls pytest.importorskip(...) purely for its skip side effect.
  • gradcheck lambda "ignoring" nw/pw: declined — replied inline. The tuple passed to gradcheck contains the exact same tensor objects (mixer.norm_weight, mixer.proj_weight) the mixer reads internally, so both gradcheck's numerical and analytical Jacobians correctly exercise those parameters despite the lambda not using its own argument names. Changing this wouldn't fix a real bug and risks weakening a currently-correct check.

CI — build-docker (3.12) failure
Looked at the failed job (run 33780529743): the actual Docker build/image steps complete successfully; the job fails a step later at docker login with flag needs an argument: 'p' in -p, i.e. the registry password argument is empty. run-unittest-torch (the job that would actually execute this PR's new test) is gated behind build-docker and got skipped as a result — it never ran.

This isn't caused by anything in this PR (only test files were touched) and isn't a plain flake either — it reads like the Docker Hub push step's PAT secret isn't available in this run's context (this PR runs from a fork branch), which is standard GitHub Actions behavior for pull_request-triggered jobs from forks and would reproduce on any fork PR the same way. Since I can't safely fix repo secrets/workflow trust configuration from here (and doing so is outside this test PR's scope), I'm not rerunning the job or touching the workflow — flagging for a maintainer with repo-admin access to either re-trigger this run in a context with the secret available, or confirm run-unittest-torch can be validated another way.

I'll keep watching for review activity and CI updates, and will merge once there's a human approval and green (or maintainer-cleared) required checks.

🔵 Needs a closer look

The gradcheck currently ignores the nw/pw inputs and therefore doesn’t validate gradients w.r.t. the mixer’s scorer weights as intended.

  • The gradcheck lambda ignores the nw/pw inputs and instead reads mixer.norm_weight / mixer.proj_weight from module state, so gradcheck won’t actually validate gradients w.r.t. the scorer weights (and may treat the unused inputs as having undefined grads). Use the backend call that takes norm_weight/proj_weight explicitly (or a stateless functional_call) so the perturbed inputs are the tensors used in the computation.
    # norm_weight / proj_weight are passed through so gradcheck perturbs the
    # exact tensors the mixer reads (they are the same objects, not copies).
    assert torch.autograd.gradcheck(
        lambda ps, br, nw, pw: mixer(ps, br),
        (prefix_sum, block_residual, mixer.norm_weight, mixer.proj_weight),
