…r extent choose_split_kv computed a split and then nothing used it. Two defects, both on the delivery path rather than in the cost model: - _split_points returned [no_split, chosen], so the chosen split landed at plan[1]. build_plans() stops at the first entry that builds and execute() runs _plan_index, so a plain build ALWAYS took the unsplit plan; the split was reachable only through select_plan or an ALL-policy autotune. Return [chosen, no_split] instead — the split leads, and no-split stays reachable behind it. - The model was fed rows_per_tile = tile_m * cga, but an SM100 d128 cluster covers TILES_Q * TILE_M * CTA_MMA Q rows on its CTA pair — twice that. The doubled tile count reads a half-empty machine as full, so the chooser under-splits or declines to split at all. Use _pack_gqa_tile_q, the helper that already answers "Q rows one grid tile covers", and the same extent every test in test_split_kv_heuristic.py already assumed. Flipping the lead moved the split into the base knob set, which exposed a third: the "a split set rides the plain scheduler" coupling lived only in the splits[1:] runner-up loop, so a LEADING split inherited the derived LPT_L2 policy on causal graphs — unbuildable on SM120, which raises on split_kv > 1 under an LPT remap. The coupling now binds whichever leg leads, and scheduler runners ride an unsplit leg. The chooser itself is unchanged, so a grid that already fills the machine still does not split.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe SDPA forward heuristic now uses exact packed GQA launch geometry for split-KV selection, prioritizes the selected split, and enforces plain-scheduler coupling for split configurations. Tests cover scheduler behavior, candidate ordering, and SM100 cluster geometry. ChangesSDPA split-KV heuristic
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR changes split selection and scheduler handling so the chosen KV split is actually used and remains buildable. The remaining bounded risk is that one regression test lacks the required L0 marker and may be skipped by normal lightweight test selection; the PR is otherwise mergeable with that follow-up. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3 | ❌ 2❌ Failed checks (2 warnings)

Full details: Title checkExplanation The title clearly describes the main changes: running the heuristic-selected KV split and using the true cluster extent. The wording is slightly awkward and truncated, but it remains specific and related. Full details: Description checkExplanation The description explains the core changes and rationale, and the required checklist is complete.

Add an L0 marker to this new test.
Line 264 adds a new Python test without a test-level marker. Add @pytest.mark.L0 so normal test selection includes this lightweight heuristic regression.
As per coding guidelines, “Mark every new Python test with a level from L0 through L4.”

…r extent
choose_split_kv computed a split and then nothing used it. Two defects, both on the delivery path rather than in the cost model:
_split_points returned [no_split, chosen], so the chosen split landed at plan[1]. build_plans() stops at the first entry that builds and execute() runs _plan_index, so a plain build ALWAYS took the unsplit plan; the split was reachable only through select_plan or an ALL-policy autotune. Return [chosen, no_split] instead — the split leads, and no-split stays reachable behind it.
The model was fed rows_per_tile = tile_m * cga, but an SM100 d128 cluster covers TILES_Q * TILE_M * CTA_MMA Q rows on its CTA pair — twice that. The doubled tile count reads a half-empty machine as full, so the chooser under-splits or declines to split at all. Use _pack_gqa_tile_q, the helper that already answers "Q rows one grid tile covers", and the same extent every test in test_split_kv_heuristic.py already assumed.
Flipping the lead moved the split into the base knob set, which exposed a third: the "a split set rides the plain scheduler" coupling lived only in the splits[1:] runner-up loop, so a LEADING split inherited the derived LPT_L2 policy on causal graphs — unbuildable on SM120, which raises on split_kv > 1 under an LPT remap. The coupling now binds whichever leg leads, and scheduler runners ride an unsplit leg.
The chooser itself is unchanged, so a grid that already fills the machine still does not split.
