Post-merge end-to-end smoke test ✅

Ran a real-GPU smoke against the merged code (6f22f5e on main) to confirm everything works in vivo, not just in unit tests.

Setup

• GPU: single RTX 5880 Ada (49 GiB), CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1
• Model: Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct (28 layers × 1536 hidden)
• vLLM: 0.12.0 with enforce_eager=True, prefix caching off
• Hooked layers: [0, 14, 27] (first / middle / last)
• Protocol: canonical _setup_hidden_states_capture → _reset_capture → generate → _get_captured_states → _get_capture_metadata

Results

vLLM injection log confirms the worker extension is wired correctly:

Injected <class 'utils.hook_hs_extension.HookHiddenStatesExtension'>
into <class 'vllm.v1.worker.gpu_worker.Worker'> for extended collective_rpc calls
['_get_base_model', '_get_capture_metadata', '_get_captured_states',
 '_get_request_segmentation', '_reset_capture',
 '_setup_hidden_states_capture', '_track_prefill_chunk']

Captured states for two prompts of different lengths:

=== generate() complete ===
  req 0: prompt=11 tokens, gen=8 tokens, text=' 4\nExplain how you used'
  req 1: prompt=14 tokens, gen=8 tokens, text=' Red, green, and blue.\n\nQ'

=== Verification ===
[OK] States have shape {layer_id: {req_id: bytes}}
[INFO] Captured 2 requests at layer 14: ['0', '1']
  layer 14 req 0: shape=(18, 1536), dtype=float32
  layer 14 req 1: shape=(21, 1536), dtype=float32
[INFO] Metadata for 2 requests:
  req 0: {'total_computed': 18, 'prefill_tokens': 11}
  req 1: {'total_computed': 21, 'prefill_tokens': 14}
[OK] No multiplier-bug signal in total_computed / prefill_tokens
[OK] Last-token L2 distance between req 0 and req 1: 43.179 (good if > 1)
=== All smoke checks passed ===

What this proves

Check	Pass
Worker extension injected into vLLM v1	✓
Canonical 5-call protocol works end-to-end	✓
Nested return contract {layer_id: {req_id: bytes}}	✓
Decoded ndarray shape (num_tokens, hidden_size)	✓ — (18, 1536) and (21, 1536) against expected hidden_size=1536
Multiplier-bug regression (3 layers hooked, metadata must NOT triple)	✓ — total_computed matches real token counts (18, 21), not 54/63
prefill_tokens matches prompt length	✓ — 11 / 14
Per-request attribution (distinct prompts → distinct hidden states)	✓ — last-token L2 = 43.18 between req 0 and req 1
Multi-layer consistency ([0, 14, 27] all return same shape contract)	✓

The merged PR works as intended on real hardware. No regressions, no multiplier bug, per-request slicing intact, multi-layer capture consistent.

Smoke test code

For reproducibility, the exact driver used in the comment above (drop into <repo-root>/smoke_test_hook_hs.py on main and run CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=<free-gpu> python smoke_test_hook_hs.py):

"""End-to-end smoke test for hook_hs_extension v2 (PR #249, merged 6f22f5e).

Loads Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct via vLLM with the worker extension installed,
runs two prompts of different lengths through generate(), collects hidden
states + metadata via the canonical two-call protocol, and verifies:

  1. States have the expected nested shape {layer_id: {req_id: bytes}}.
  2. Decoded per-request ndarrays have shape (num_tokens, hidden_size).
  3. total_computed is consistent across hooked layers (no multiplier bug).
  4. prefill_tokens >= prompt length for each request.
  5. Each request gets distinct hidden states (per-request attribution works).

Designed to run on a single 49 GiB GPU (forced via CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES).

Adjust CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES to whichever GPU is free; lower gpu_memory_utilization if you have less VRAM. Tested on a 49 GiB RTX 5880 Ada with vLLM 0.12.0 + Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct.
