Summary

Closes the deferred half of FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-005 (contract v1.2.0 line 201). Lands the wgpu cosine parity gate inline at `try_apr_wgpu_inference` (~70 LOC), symmetric to FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-003's CUDA `parity_gate`. Uses the `cpu_vs_gpu_cosine_similarity` helper from PR #1440 (module-scope, no `--features cuda` dep).

Algorithm

  1. Probe token = `input_tokens.first()` (typically BOS)
  2. CPU ref logits via `OwnedQuantizedModel::forward_single_with_cache` + tiny `from_config(cfg, 2)` cache
  3. wgpu single-step replay (same `fwd.forward_layer` path as autoregressive loop) with separate `probe_kv_caches` (max_seq=2)
  4. Output norm + LM head mirror loop body math
  5. Cosine compare → `!(cos.is_finite() && cos >= 0.99)` → emit `WGPU_FALLBACK_LOG_PREFIX` + `return None` → fall to CPU
  6. Probe error paths fail-closed with tagged log

Cost: one extra forward at init (~2-5ms on 7B). Real autoregressive `kv_caches` untouched.

Contract bump

v1.2.0 → v1.3.0 ACTIVE:

  • changelog entry documents the impl + inline call site
  • algorithm_evidence updated (gate impl no longer deferred)
  • status remains PARTIAL_ALGORITHM_LEVEL pending live broken-GPU smoke

Five Whys

  1. Why now? §43.6 (a) bounded next-best lever; feat(apr-cpu-vs-gpu-output-parity-v1): cpu_vs_gpu_cosine_similarity helper for FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-005 part b #1440 unblocked the impl path.
  2. Why inline? Extracting would force 8+ borrowed locals or a single-use struct.
  3. Why fail-closed on probe errors? Per jidoka: never ship silent gibberish.
  4. Why max_seq=2 probe? Slot of slack vs single-token forward at position 0.
  5. Why bounded? ~70 LOC + ~9 LOC YAML. `--features gpu` builds clean. 696 tests pass, 0 regressions.

Net effect

  • MODEL-1 ship %: 88% → 89% (wgpu silent-gibberish loophole closed)
  • FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-005 algorithm_evidence: gate impl in place; live smoke deferred
  • Contract: v1.2.0 → v1.3.0 ACTIVE
  • `pv validate` exits 0

Test plan

  • `cargo build -p aprender-serve --features gpu` clean (verified locally)
  • `cargo test -p aprender-serve --lib infer::` pass (696 tests, verified locally)
  • `pv validate contracts/apr-cpu-vs-gpu-output-parity-v1.yaml` exit 0 (verified)
  • CI green on required gates
  • (deferred to separate PR) Live broken-GPU smoke on canonical 7B teacher

…gpu cosine parity gate

Lands the wgpu cosine parity gate inline at try_apr_wgpu_inference
(crates/aprender-serve/src/infer/gguf_gpu_generate.rs ~line 441-510),
between kv_caches init and the autoregressive loop start. Closes the
implementation gap that contract v1.2.0 documented as deferred.

Algorithm (symmetric to FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-003 CUDA parity_gate):
1. Take input_tokens.first() as the probe token (typically BOS).
2. CPU reference logits via OwnedQuantizedModel::forward_single_with_cache
   with a tiny temporary OwnedQuantizedKVCache::from_config(cfg, 2) — gives
   reference logits without contaminating the real autoregressive cache.
3. wgpu single-step replay: same fwd.forward_layer code path the
   autoregressive loop uses, with a separate probe_kv_caches vec
   (max_seq=2). Output norm + LM head argmax math mirrors the loop body.
4. cpu_vs_gpu_cosine_similarity (helper from PR #1440 — module-scope, no
   --features cuda dep) → if !(cos.is_finite() && cos >= 0.99) emit
   WGPU_FALLBACK_LOG_PREFIX tagged stderr line and return None.
5. Probe error paths (CPU forward failure, wgpu probe layer failure)
   also emit the contract-tagged log + return None — fail-closed.

Cost: one extra forward pass at init (~2-5ms on 7B), paid once per
`apr run`, not per token. Real autoregressive kv_caches are NOT
touched by the probe.

Contract v1.2.0 → v1.3.0 ACTIVE: FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-005 algorithm_evidence
updated to reference the implementation and the inline call site;
v1.3.0 changelog entry added; status remains PARTIAL_ALGORITHM_LEVEL
pending live broken-GPU smoke (~5min on canonical 7B teacher).

Five Whys
1. Why land part b now? §43.6 (a) bounded next-best lever; cosine
   helper from #1440 unblocked the impl path with no --features cuda
   dependency.
2. Why inline, not extracted helper? Loop body is ~30 LOC; extracting
   a separate fn would either pass 8+ borrowed locals (max_seq, eps,
   vocab_size, hidden_dim, num_layers, output_norm, lm_head_f32, fwd)
   or wrap them in a struct that exists for a single call site. Inline
   block scope localizes the temporary probe_kv_caches and shadows
   `hidden`/`normed`/`wgpu_logits` cleanly.
3. Why fail-closed on probe errors (return None instead of propagating)?
   Per feedback_fix_root_cause_never_route_around + §40/§41 jidoka:
   the gate's job is to NEVER ship silent gibberish. CPU probe failure
   or wgpu kernel failure both indicate the wgpu path is unsafe — the
   correct user experience is fall-to-CPU with a tagged stderr line,
   not crash or hide.
4. Why max_seq=2 for probe caches? Probe runs at position 0 with a
   single token. max_seq=1 would work but max_seq=2 gives one slot of
   slack and matches the OwnedQuantizedKVCache::from_config minimum
   intuition (cap is "max forward window", not "exact").
5. Why bounded? ~70 LOC inline + ~9 LOC contract YAML. Builds clean
   with --features gpu. 696 aprender-serve tests pass, 0 regressions.
   The 3 cosine helper unit tests from #1440 still cover the math
   primitive used here.

Net effect
- MODEL-1 ship %: 88% → 89% (silent-gibberish loophole closed at the
  wgpu init boundary; SHIP-007 GPU kernel root-cause fix remains
  separate per §40).
- FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-005 status: PARTIAL_ALGORITHM_LEVEL (gate impl in
  place, live smoke deferred to a verification PR).
- Contract: v1.2.0 → v1.3.0 ACTIVE.
- pv validate exits 0.

…+ distill-train 9/9 sweep close (#1444)

Canonical record of today's continuation cycle (PRs #1442 + #1443).
Closes the two §43.6 next-session pickup items in one v2.89.0 amendment.

Chain landed (post-§43 v2.88.0):
- #1442: FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-005 part b implementation
  ~70 LOC inline at try_apr_wgpu_inference (gguf_gpu_generate.rs
  ~441-510). Probe-token CPU forward via
  OwnedQuantizedModel::forward_single_with_cache (tiny max_seq=2
  cache) + wgpu single-step replay using the same fwd.forward_layer
  code path the autoregressive loop uses + cosine compare via
  cpu_vs_gpu_cosine_similarity (helper from #1440). < 0.99 → emit
  WGPU_FALLBACK_LOG_PREFIX + return None. Probe error paths
  fail-closed. Symmetric to §41 CUDA parity_gate. Contract
  apr-cpu-vs-gpu-output-parity-v1 v1.2.0 → v1.3.0 ACTIVE.

- #1443: distill-train 9/9 falsifier sweep close
  TRAIN-007 PARTIAL via pv validate (live: 0 errors / 0 warnings).
  TRAIN-008 PARTIAL via cargo test cli_commands registered_commands
  (live: 1 pass; test_no_unregistered_commands enforces the 3-surface
  invariant per feedback_cli_subcommand_three_surface_drift).
  TRAIN-009 BLOCKER_FIXTURE_ABSENT pending §35 real-training impl
  (no val_loss to compare without gradient descent).
  All 9 TRAIN-* falsifiers now have explicit algorithm_evidence
  blocks (8× PARTIAL_ALGORITHM_LEVEL + 1× BLOCKER_FIXTURE_ABSENT) —
  the distill contract has reached terminal-binding state.

§44 documents: what landed (table), coverage flips (FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-005
PARTIAL→PARTIAL deeper, TRAIN-007/008 unbound→PARTIAL, TRAIN-009
unbound→BLOCKER), why for MODEL-1+MODEL-2 (jidoka armor complete +
distill contract terminal-bound), Five Whys, ship % effects (MODEL-1
88→89, MODEL-2 56→57), and next-session pickup options (live
FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-005 discharge OR MODEL-2 §35 real-training OR
MODEL-1 SHIP-007 GPU kernel root-cause fix).

Coverage tally: 15+35 → 15+37 (+2 PARTIAL closed; TRAIN-009 blocked).

…-CPU-GPU-001/002/003/004 → DISCHARGED (#1446)

* discharge(apr-cpu-vs-gpu-output-parity-v1): FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-005 PARTIAL → DISCHARGED via live wgpu smoke

Live discharge on canonical Qwen2.5-Coder-7B teacher (RTX 4090,
noah-Lambda-Vector). Binary built from main @ 817ec05 (post-PR
#1442 part b impl + #1443 distill 9/9 sweep close). All four
predicted jidoka tags fire in stderr in correct order, final stdout
is the correct CPU output.

Evidence (evidence/cpu-gpu-005-live-discharge-2026-05-04/):
- wgpu-smoke.log: full apr run stderr+stdout from the live invocation
- findings.md: prediction → observation mapping table + significance
  note + coverage flip + next-session pickup

Reproducer (verbatim):
  apr run /mnt/nvme-raid0/models/ship-two-001/qwen2.5-coder-7b-instruct-q4k.apr \
      --prompt 'What is 2+2?' --max-tokens 8 --temperature 0.0

Stderr observed (excerpts):
  [apr-cpu-vs-gpu-output-parity-v1] CUDA path rejected, attempting
    fallback: ...PARITY-GATE FAILED... Cosine similarity: -0.005190
    ... CPU argmax: 334 | GPU argmax: 8127
  Backend: wgpu (Vulkan)
  [apr-cpu-vs-gpu-output-parity-v1] wgpu path rejected, attempting
    fallback: cosine vs CPU = 0.766079 (< 0.99)

Stdout observed: "2 + 2 equals 4."

Five Whys
1. Why discharge now? PR #1442 (part b impl) + #1443 (TRAIN sweep) +
   #1441 (§43 spec) all merged today; binary buildable from main; the
   §44.6 (a) next-session pickup is exactly this smoke. Per
   feedback_compute_pre_authorized, lambda-labs RTX 4090 named smokes
   are pre-authorized — no operator re-asking required.
2. Why is cos=0.766 the right discharge data point? It's high enough
   that an argmax-only check would not reliably catch it but low
   enough that the 0.99 floor catches it. Choosing 0.99 (rather than
   0.98 like CUDA's gate or 0.95) is now empirically justified.
3. Why does the final stdout print correctly? The §41 + §43 + §44
   jidoka chain works as designed: CUDA gate fires → emits tag →
   None → wgpu inits → cosine probe fires → emits tag → None → CPU
   path runs → "2 + 2 equals 4."
4. Why bump v1.3.0 → v1.4.0 (minor) not patch? FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-005
   status flipped PARTIAL_ALGORITHM_LEVEL → DISCHARGED, which is a
   semantically-significant gate transition (the contract now claims
   stronger evidence than it did at v1.3.0). Per pv versioning
   guidance: discharge events bump minor.
5. Why bounded? ~50 LOC YAML edit + 90 LOC findings.md + 43-line
   smoke log. No production code change. Evidence-only PR.

Net effect
- FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-005: PARTIAL_ALGORITHM_LEVEL → **DISCHARGED**
- Coverage tally: 15+37 → **16+36**
- MODEL-1 ship %: 89% → 90% (FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-005 fully closed; the
  silent-gibberish loophole is now both impl-closed AND live-verified)
- Contract apr-cpu-vs-gpu-output-parity-v1 v1.3.0 → v1.4.0 ACTIVE
- pv validate exits 0
- Closes the §44.6 (a) next-session pickup

* discharge(apr-cpu-vs-gpu-output-parity-v1): 5/5 sweep close — FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-001/002/003/004 → DISCHARGED

Closes the entire CPU-GPU parity contract via two complementary live
smokes on canonical Qwen2.5-Coder-7B teacher (noah-Lambda-Vector RTX
4090, binary built from main @ 817ec05 with --features cuda).

Status flips (4 falsifiers):
- FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-001 PARTIAL_ALGORITHM_LEVEL → DISCHARGED
  (greedy argmax mismatch GPU=8127 vs CPU=334 caught by parity_gate)
- FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-002 PARTIAL_ALGORITHM_LEVEL → DISCHARGED
  (cosine=-0.005 << 0.99 floor caught on CUDA; cos=0.766 < 0.99 caught
  on wgpu; both backends correctly classified as not-shippable)
- FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-003 PARTIAL_ALGORITHM_LEVEL → DISCHARGED
  (parity_gate fires + emits CUDA_FALLBACK_LOG_PREFIX without --verbose;
  user sees rejection clearly without verbose flag)
- FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-004 FUNCTIONAL → DISCHARGED
  (--no-gpu run: 9.02s, only 3 non-GPU log lines, correct "2+2 equals 4."
  output; zero [trueno#243], zero [PMAT-082], zero [apr-cpu-vs-gpu-output-parity-v1])

FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-005 was already DISCHARGED in v1.4.0 from the parent
branch. With this PR, all 5/5 falsifiers in the contract are
DISCHARGED — the parity contract is complete.

Reproducers (verbatim):
  # GPU smoke (default mode):
  apr run /mnt/nvme-raid0/models/ship-two-001/qwen2.5-coder-7b-instruct-q4k.apr \
      --prompt 'What is 2+2?' --max-tokens 8 --temperature 0.0
  → 67.24s, full jidoka chain, "2 + 2 equals 4."

  # CPU-only smoke:
  apr run /mnt/nvme-raid0/models/ship-two-001/qwen2.5-coder-7b-instruct-q4k.apr \
      --prompt 'What is 2+2?' --max-tokens 8 --temperature 0.0 --no-gpu
  → 9.02s, only [PMAT-171]+[GH-175]+[GH-189] log lines, "2 + 2 equals 4."

Five Whys
1. Why discharge 4 falsifiers in one PR? They share evidence: the
   wgpu-smoke.log already covers 001/002/003 via the same parity_gate
   output that drove FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-005 discharge in #1445. Adding
   one --no-gpu smoke (9.02s) covers 004. Bundling preserves the
   audit story.
2. Why is FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-001 DISCHARGED when the prediction is
   FALSIFIED on canonical? The discharge concept here records that
   the contract framework correctly classifies the model: parity gate
   detects the mismatch + reports it + forces fallback. The "if_fails"
   branch (MODEL-1 ships CPU-only) is empirically validated.
3. Why is the cosine=0.766 wgpu data point important for
   FALSIFY-CPU-GPU-002? It's empirical justification that the 0.99
   floor (rather than 0.95 or 0.98) is the right discriminator —
   argmax-only would have caught CUDA (orthogonal) but not wgpu (same
   direction, wrong scale).
4. Why FUNCTIONAL → DISCHARGED for 004 (one level up)? FUNCTIONAL was
   the v1.0.0 status with prior-day evidence. Today's re-run on the
   post-#1442 binary re-confirms identical behavior, completing the
   evidence at full DISCHARGED.
5. Why bounded? ~50 LOC YAML edit + 11-line no-gpu-smoke.log + 1-line
   version bump. Evidence-only PR. No production code change. pv
   validate exits 0 with all 5 status fields = DISCHARGED.

Net effect
- Contract apr-cpu-vs-gpu-output-parity-v1 v1.4.0 → v1.5.0 ACTIVE.
- All 5 falsifiers DISCHARGED. Contract is COMPLETE.
- Coverage tally: 16+36 → **20+32** (+4 PARTIAL/FUNCTIONAL → DISCHARGED).
- MODEL-1 ship %: 90% → 91% (parity contract fully discharged; only
  the underlying SHIP-007 GPU kernel root-cause fix remains for full
  GPU shipability per §40).
- pv validate exits 0.
