series are pulled from the KV-event index the same way.
`sgl_router_kv_tree_blocks * sgl_router_kv_block_size` for one worker and
tier, divided by that pod's own occupancy of the tier (device:
`sglang_kv_used_tokens + sglang_kv_evictable_tokens`; host:
`sglang_hicache_host_used_tokens`; `tp_rank="0"`), is the tree's coverage of
that tier. Scope both sides to the same deployment before dividing — block
size and fleet membership both vary between them, and an unscoped ratio
divides one fleet's tree by another's occupancy.
Read it as: about 1, the tree mirrors the engine; about 0, the engine holds a
tier routing cannot see; **above 1, the tree holds tiers a worker has already
released** — check `sgl_router_kv_event_batches_lost_total`, because a tagged
removal clears only its own tier and a lost batch strands the rest.
`sgl_router_kv_events_total` renders every `(event, medium)` cell including
zeros, so a `CPU_PINNED` row pinned at 0 on a hierarchical-cache fleet is
visible rather than absent. A nonzero `block_stored/unknown` row is the
upgrade signal: the engine is publishing a storage tier this build cannot
rank, so the tree drops those stores rather than filing them under a guess. Comparing `sgl_router_kv_event_blocks_total` for
`block_stored/CPU_PINNED` against the engine's `sglang_hicache_backup_tokens_total`
needs `sum without(pool)` on the engine side, and the two are not equal
anyway: the engine also evicts device blocks it never backed up.
