`get_server_args().<field>` reads one process's startup record. Nine sites still
did that for a value that has a namespace: the attention backend (5),
`skip_tokenizer_init` (2), the draft-aware `load_format`, and a chunked-prefill
size in `sglang.kernels`. They now read `get_exec().kernel` / `get_serving()` /
`get_model()` / `get_schedule()`, so they see the resolved value including
post-publish overrides.
The multimodal processor's device selection moves to the instance it was
constructed with rather than to a namespace: `base_gpu_id` differs per worker (the
encode-server DP workers each specialise their own copy), so no process-global
value can stand in for it, and engines sharing a tokenizer process each need their
own. Branch order, the NPU preprocess patches, and the case that leaves "device"
unset are unchanged.
What stays on `get_server_args()` is the derived API — `@property` and method
members computed from several fields plus the HF config
(`mamba_cache_chunk_size`, `get_model_config()`, `enable_mamba_extra_buffer*`) —
plus three config-intent reads of live-shadowed sizes, each of which needs an
answer the live topology property cannot give (the DSA indexer's PP gate must
short-circuit before touching the PP group, `allocation`'s DCP gate asks whether
DCP was configured at all, and the CUDA-IPC recycler runs where no group exists).
A new AST ratchet pins both shapes it can see — the direct call and an alias
bound from it in the same function — at 0 and 12 respectively, exempting the
derived APIs and those three sites by name. The alias-form baseline is not zero:
those reads are mostly per-runner fields in model code, and lowering them is the
next slice.
Two fixtures stopped faking config: `test_dllm_fdfo_kv_reuse` rebound
`allocation.get_server_args` to a SimpleNamespace, which silently stops
intercepting the moment a reader migrates; it publishes a real config instead.
When --forward-pass-metrics-ipc-name is left unset the reporter generates an
endpoint and has to hand it to external consumers (the documented contract is
that they read it back from the server config). That readback is the scheduler's
get_internal_state, which already reports get_context().resolved_server_args_dict(),
so the write moves to get_context().override and the read alongside it to
get_observability() — the endpoint still shows up in /server_info's
internal_states, and the ServerArgs instance stops being a message bus.
The test's server_args stand-in (a SimpleNamespace with a hand-rolled override)
becomes a real published config, so the reporter exercises the same accessors as
production.
Writer ratchet 19 -> 18.
