-    `SGLANG_OPT_USE_INKLING_SHEARED_BIAS=0` is required for the exact bar. The
-    sheared relative-bias path shears on `max_seqlen_q`, so a verify pass
-    (several queries) lands the same absolute (q, k) pair on a different tile
-    than a prefill pass and one output element differs. Measured on this
-    checkpoint: with the sheared path on, 12 of 16 tokens diverge from the
-    first token past a tile boundary, up to 8.1e-03; with it off, every token
-    reads exactly 0. Tracked in
-    https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/issues/34899 -- when the shear is
-    made query-count invariant this override should be dropped, and this class
-    is what will prove it.
+    Reaching the exact bar also needs the sheared relative-bias path out of the
+    way, since its bias tile geometry follows the query count. Deterministic
+    mode now selects the invariant path on its own, so this class carries no
+    environment override; a regression there surfaces here as a nonzero KL.
