Make the early-dispatch path deterministic and observable.
The scenes depend on a fixed producer delay, but the assertions validate only final output. If the seed completes before root staging, the ordinary ready path produces the same output and the tests still pass.

Use an independent cohort-width oracle.
The test derives cohort_blocks from successful block writes. If the highest blocks do not execute, max() + 1 reduces the expected width and the missing suffix passes as zero-filled output. Block 0 is also indistinguishable from an unwritten slot.
Record the device cluster count separately. Then validate every expected block against that count.

Use a nonzero sentinel and an independent cohort-width oracle.
A sentinel detects unwritten blocks only within the range that the test checks. Since cohort_blocks is computed as int(sync_region.max().item()) + 1, a missing high-index suffix can reduce the inferred width and leave that suffix unchecked. Initialize output and expected with a sentinel, but derive cohort_blocks from the independent expected device cluster count before validating every cohort block.

A require_sync_start root inside a Graph body reaches early_sync_start_queue and the sync-start rendezvous through the same code a top-level candidate uses, but no scene exercised that arm on device. The neighbouring scenes each miss one term: the top-level twin submits outside a Graph, and graph_execution puts a sync_start task in a body under shells that have no producer, so those shells never qualify as early-dispatch candidates and never stage a root. - Add the scene on a2a3 and a5. A flagged slow seed makes the shell a candidate while it still occupies its cores, so stage_graph_roots_early runs and parks the body root in early_sync_start_queue. A tail task ordered behind the cohort turns a cohort that never rang into a scheduler timeout rather than a silently wrong pass. - Report the cohort width through a layout tensor, from the same rt_available_cluster_count() call the body launches with, and start the output at a sentinel no kernel writes. The expectation is therefore independent of what the cohort wrote: a short cohort fails instead of narrowing the width it is checked against, and an unwritten line stays distinguishable from a block that wrote zero. - Document what a sync_start cohort is scoped to: one task's blocks, never a set of tasks, whoever staged them. A body root and a top-level task never rendezvous with each other; the global drain is the only cross-task coupling, and it is mutual exclusion rather than a rendezvous. The body carries exactly one gated-stageable root because a sibling ordinary root under the same shell deadlocks the run (hw-native-sys#2256).

Thanks — all three are valid. Two are fixed in Cohort-width oracle (the two width findings). Fixed, and slightly stronger This also puts the scene on the same pattern the top-level twin Deterministic / observable early-dispatch path. Correct, and not fixed A permanent assertion is possible without touching the runtime: the It is left out of this PR for two reasons. It is a self-contained piece of DFX Noted in the PR description so it is not lost. Verification after the change, unchanged from before it:

Summary
require_sync_startroot inside a Graphbody reaches
early_sync_start_queueand the sync-start rendezvous. Add: hbg early dispatch across in-graph tasks and into a Graph body #2167opened that arm and left it uncovered on device; hbg: in-graph sync_start early dispatch has no scene coverage #2184 asks for the coverage.
sync_startcohort is scoped to — one task's blocks, never aset of tasks, whoever staged them.
Why the neighbouring scenes do not already cover it
Each misses one term:
spmd_sync_start_early_dispatch/graph_begin/rt_submit_graphgraph_execution/(mix_spmd)sync_starttask, but its shells consume boundary tensors and have no producer, so they never qualify as early-dispatch candidates andstage_graph_roots_earlynever runsThe new scene supplies the missing term: a flagged slow seed that makes the
shell a candidate while the seed still occupies its cores.
Scene shape
tailwrites the tensorsync_rootwrites, so it is ordered behind the cohort:a cohort that never rings surfaces as a scheduler timeout rather than as a
silently wrong pass.
The body carries exactly one gated-stageable root on purpose — a sibling
ordinary root under the same shell deadlocks the run, filed separately as #2256.
Documentation
GRAPH_EXECUTION.mdgains a "What async_startcohort is scoped to" sectionanswering the three questions #2184 raises: a body root and a top-level task
never rendezvous with each other; the halves of the rendezvous keep their
meaning and only change which event supplies them; and the global drain is the
only cross-task coupling, as mutual exclusion rather than as a rendezvous. Both
arches'
SUBMIT_BY_CLUSTER.mdget one line on cohort scope next to the existingresidency constraint.
Testing
host_build_graphsim sweephost_build_graphdevice sweepThe a2a3 sim sweep was 12 passed / 7 skipped at #2167; the extra pass is this
scene. Every device task exited 0 and released its NPU lock.
The path is verified as actually firing rather than merely passing. Temporary
probes on
stage_graph_roots_early, thesync_startbranch ofenqueue_early_dispatch_candidate, and the cohort launch show the full chain,with the cohort's staged and running core counts equal at the ring:
Without that check a
sync_startscene can pass while silently taking theordinary ready path, which the output alone cannot distinguish.
Coverage this PR does not close
An audit of
sync_startunder hbg, run alongside this change, found thesurrounding coverage much thinner than
tensormap_and_ringbuffer's. Recordingit so the remaining gap is explicit rather than implied.
spmd_sync_start(basic)spmd_sync_start_aivspmd_sync_start_early_dispatchspmd_sync_start_edgespmd_sync_start_mix_spillspmd_sync_start_stresstmr carries six scenes on each arch. Before this PR hbg had one, on a2a3 only —
even though hbg is the runtime with the extra
TaskKind::GRAPH, withmaterialization, and with
stage_graph_roots_early.Two reachable combinations were exercised as throwaway experiments during the
audit. Neither is covered by a committed scene and neither is addressed here:
sync_starttask. It qualifies through the publishlist rather than through
stage_graph_roots_early, so it is a differentregistration path from the one this PR covers. It hangs under a body whose
root is staged by the shell release, which widened [Bug] hbg: sync_start body root deadlocks against a sibling root staged by the same shell #2256 — the trigger there
is not "two roots staged together" but any in-graph task holding gated cores
alongside a
sync_starttask that needs more of the device than is left.require_sync_start.launch_specis a publicmember of the
ArgbaseGraphTaskArgsinherits, so it compiles;graph_submit_outerthen drops it viaslot.task_attrs = TaskAttrs{}.Confirmed inert by experiment — the runtime behaviour is correct, since a
shell places no block, and only the absence of a guard is questionable. Not
filed: no caller has hit it and it is not a natural mistake to make. Worth
knowing because the asymmetry looks like a defect until checked —
push_ready_routedtestsrequires_sync_start()before it teststask_kind == TaskKind::GRAPH, whileenqueue_early_dispatch_candidatereturns early for
GRAPH; that path is unreachable, not buggy.Closing these is a separate piece of work — porting tmr's basic scenes to hbg
and adding a non-root scene — rather than something to fold into this PR.
Related: #2256.
Review follow-up
CodeRabbit's two cohort-oracle findings are addressed in the latest push:
layouttensor from the samert_available_cluster_count()call the body launches with — passed into theGraph as a scalar — instead of being recovered as
max() + 1of what thecohort wrote. A cohort that runs short now fails rather than narrowing the
expectation to match itself.
outputstarts at a sentinel no kernel writes, so an unwritten cache line isdistinguishable from a block that legitimately wrote
0.0.This also brings the scene onto the same pattern the top-level twin
spmd_sync_start_early_dispatchalready uses.The third finding — that the scene cannot assert it took the early-dispatch
path rather than the ordinary ready path — is not addressed here, and it is
correct. The gating in this scene is a producer spin, and nothing in the
assertions distinguishes the two routes; the path was confirmed manually with
temporary probes that are not part of the commit. A permanent assertion is
possible without touching the runtime: the scheduler already emits an
EarlyDispatchswimlane bar, andtests/st/a2a3/host_build_graph/dfx/chip_swimlane/shows the pattern for reading those records back and asserting on a phase. It
is left out of this PR because it is a self-contained piece of DFX work, and
because such an assertion only runs under
--enable-chip-swimlane, whichper-PR CI does not enable — so it would not guard this scene on the default
path anyway.
