Include placement and numeric_profile in LayerContract.fingerprint(). compute_weight_fingerprint() and oracle.mhc_block_forward() currently inherit the omission. Add both fields to the fingerprint and cover them in test_contract_fingerprint_moves_with_every_frozen_field(). Keep numeric_profile open to provider-declared values such as cuda-ffma-strict-v1; do not restrict it to the oracle profile. Do not regenerate tests/fixtures/p1/golden_hashes.json, because it stores tensor hashes and metadata, not weight_fingerprint.

Guard the RMS backward against a zero residual row.
If a token row of x_flat is all zeros, then q == 0, so denom == 0 and the numerator neg_r2 * x32 is also 0. The division produces NaN across the whole K width. mhc_pre_bwd reshapes that result into dr_controller (Line 363) and mhc_block_backward folds it into d_r_old (Line 622), so one zero row poisons the token's entire gradient.
An all-zero row is reachable for a padded or masked token. The forward path already removes this singularity with r = 1 / (q + eps), and rmsnorm_residual_fwd guards its own zero row. The fixtures use random values, so no current test reaches this state.
The gradient at x == 0 is 0. Guard the denominator only. The suggested form keeps the division, so bytes are unchanged for every row with q > 0.
🐛 Proposed fix
r, q, k = saved["r"], saved["q"], float(saved["k"])
neg_r2 = -(r * r)
- denom = k * q
+ # q == 0 only for an all-zero row, where the numerator is also 0; the
+ # true gradient there is 0, so substitute 1 to avoid 0/0 -> NaN.
+ denom = torch.where(q > 0, k * q, torch.ones_like(q))
dx_rms = _f32(dr).unsqueeze(1) * ((neg_r2.unsqueeze(1) * x32) / denom.unsqueeze(1))Add a zero-row backward test next to test_rmsnorm_zero_row_is_finite_via_eps.

Make capability resolution fail closed for incomplete providers.
StubProvider inherits ReferenceProvider.capabilities(). Therefore, check_capability(StubProvider(), LayerContract(hidden=128)) succeeds for the default modes, even though StubProvider documents that its operators are unavailable. Also, a provider that omits one of these keys passes because None skips the rejection branch.

…lars Follow-up after reading the Megatron mHC source (megatron/core/transformer/hyper_connection.py and megatron/core/fusions/fused_mhc_kernels.py, dev). Megatron's native and fused paths disagree with each other: the fused kernel uses TF32 MMA, split_k=16 at K>=16384, and runtime autotuning, and computes sqrt(s/K) where native computes sqrt(s)/sqrt(K). Three of issue #2's explicit bans (Split-K off, TF32 off, fixed reduction tree) are violated by that path at exactly the production shape. So Megatron supplies the formulas and constants for this contract, never the reduction order. Changes: - fusion: 'unfused' is now CANONICAL and documented as such. Train/infer byte-equality needs every boundary hashable on its own, which only the unfused decomposition gives. v1 does not reuse TE's TEFusedResidualRMSNorm -- it refuses to expose the intermediate (raises on any forward hook), collapsing two boundaries into one. Fusion stays legal; changing the reduction layout or a downcast point does not. - alpha: Megatron holds three learnable scalars (alpha_pre/post/res) broadcast over the PRE/POST/COMB segments, not 24 independent gains. Forward was already equivalent; backward was not, so dAlpha is now three scalars with the segment fold pinned like every other reduction. - design doc: new section on what Megatron actually does and why it is not the byte reference; D1/D6/D8 rewritten with the source evidence; open questions updated (Miles must also run unfused -- needs their sign-off). - the fused/unfused test now says what it actually proves (oracle self-consistency, not that a real fused kernel matches). 54 tests pass; check_p1.py PASSes on cpu and cuda, stub still fails closed; ruff/flake8/black/isort/mypy clean. Golden manifest regenerated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Kcu8vXve5YMZ5wqCCKRfvJ
Issue #2 splits P1 by function, not by operator: P1-D1 owns the mHC forwards, P1-D2 the RMSNorm forwards, P1-D3 every custom backward across both, P1-D4 the provider adapter, P1-D5 trace/tests/benchmarks and P1-D6 the fixed-K GEMM reference -- eight tasks with P1-S0 and P1-R0. The kit had invented a one-task-per-operator split instead. That was wrong in the design doc and, worse, in StubProvider's messages, which told a developer to "claim it on P1-D1 (hc_split_sinkhorn)" and would have pointed them at the wrong task. - StubProvider now names the real owning task per (operator, direction); every *_bwd points at P1-D3. - design doc: the eight tasks with owners, the dependency line, and a note that operators and tasks are different axes. - provider docstring and tests updated to match. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Kcu8vXve5YMZ5wqCCKRfvJ
#2 has eight GitHub sub-issues, and they are split one per operator -- not by function as the older 任务分工 section in the issue body reads. The previous commit followed that superseded section and mislabelled everything; this restores the operator split and uses the authoritative issue numbers, matching how P5 labels its sub-tasks. - P1-1 (#14) hc_split_sinkhorn, P1-2 (#15) fp32_gemm_rms, P1-3 (#16) mhc_post, P1-4 (#17) mhc_pre/h_aggregate, P1-5 (#18) rmsnorm_residual -- each fwd + bwd together; P1-6..P1-8 (#19-#21) are the WS2 TP/SP/CP/ DP/PP tasks. - #15 explicitly absorbs the fixed-K / batch-invariant GEMM reference and its equivalence harness, so fixed_k_gemm points there rather than at a task of its own. - StubProvider names the owning sub-issue per operator. - D8 reframed against #18's actual wording: it says prefer TE's TEFusedResidualRMSNorm and self-write only if TE fails the deterministic contract. TE fails it -- it refuses to expose the pre-normalization intermediate -- so unfused v1 is the escape hatch #18 provides, not a departure from it. - design doc: the eight sub-issues with stage, issue number and the WS2 attachment points (placement + check_capability). 54 tests pass; check_p1.py reference PASS, stub fails closed; lint clean.
