The original miles use "abort" as the default when weight update, which will drop the entire previous rollout trajectory if not finished.
Now add a parameter to control it.
IMHO, "retract" could be a better choice. cc @guapisolo @fzyzcjy @yueming-yuan

@dataclass
class PauseGenerationReqInput(BaseReq):
    mode: Literal["abort", "retract", "in_place"] = "abort"

…eight updates

Previously, pause_generation was called with an empty JSON body, which
defaults to mode="abort" in SGLang. This immediately terminates all
in-flight requests, discarding completed work including partial
multi-turn generations.

Change the default to mode="retract", which moves running requests back
to the waiting queue instead of aborting them. After weight update and
continue_generation, these requests are rescheduled with fresh KV cache
computed under the new weights.

A new --pause-generation-mode CLI flag is added so users can choose
between abort, retract, and in_place depending on their use case.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a session_server_instance_id to uniquely identify session server instances and adds a configurable --pause-generation-mode for handling in-flight requests during weight updates. Key changes include the addition of a /health endpoint to the session server, propagation of session metadata through the OpenAIEndpointTracer and agentic tool calls, and support for different pausing strategies ('abort', 'retract', 'in_place') in the SGLang backend. A review comment suggests handling cases where the session_server_id might lack a port to avoid malformed addresses.

If session_server_id does not contain a port (e.g., it's just an IP address), urlsplit().port will return None. This results in session_server_id being formatted as external_host:None, which is likely an invalid address for downstream components. Consider providing a default port or handling the None case.

Suggested change
port = urlsplit(f"http://{session_server_id}").port
session_server_id = f"{external_host}:{port}"
parsed_id = urlsplit(f"http://{session_server_id}")
port = parsed_id.port if parsed_id.port is not None else 80
session_server_id = f"{external_host}:{port}"

* wandb: raise init_timeout, add retry wrapper, fix shared-mode init for cross-region clusters

In online + shared mode, both `init_wandb_primary` and `init_wandb_secondary`
make HTTPS round-trips to wandb cloud (login + run create/attach). On
high-latency cross-region clusters (e.g. Abu Dhabi MBZUAI ↔ wandb-cloud
US-West) with concurrent actor bursts, a single round-trip can exceed the
wandb SDK's 90s default `init_timeout` — tearing down the whole run
with a silent handshake abort. Observed on RL360 job 1564420, which
forced `WANDB_MODE=offline` as a global default ever since (see
https://github.com/LLM360/RL360/issues/87).

The issue's original diagnosis assumed a local primary↔secondary socket
handshake race. That's not how shared mode works — per wandb's own
feature PR (wandb/wandb#6882), each writer spawns
an independent wandb-core that talks to the cloud directly; aggregation
is server-side by run_id. No local socket exists. The failure mode is
pure network/latency, not a local readiness race.

Changes
-------

- Bump `init_timeout` to 300s for primary and secondary Settings.
  Configurable via `WANDB_INIT_TIMEOUT_SECS` env var for tuning.
- Wrap both init paths in a bounded exponential-backoff retry
  (`_wandb_init_with_retry`) that re-attempts on wandb.errors.CommError
  and wandb.errors.UsageError. 3 attempts with 5→10→20s backoff by
  default, tunable via `WANDB_INIT_RETRY_ATTEMPTS` /
  `WANDB_INIT_RETRY_BACKOFF_SECS`.
- Add `x_label` tagging per wandb distributed-training docs: primary
  gets `rank_<rank>_primary`, secondaries get `rank_<rank>_secondary`.
  Enables per-rank console-log filtering in the wandb UI.
- Drop `reinit=True` from secondary init_kwargs. Shared mode natively
  supports concurrent writers on a single run; `reinit=True` triggered
  stale-state warnings on secondary actors without functional benefit.

Followups this change enables
-----------------------------

- `WANDB_MODE=offline` can be removed from scale.yaml's extra_env
  default once a pilot run confirms online mode boots cleanly.
- The tmux-based `~/bin/wandb-sync-rl360.sh` workaround on David's M2
  account becomes obsolete (no more offline-only default).
- Near-realtime wandb dashboards replace the ~2-minute-lag offline
  sync; per-rank system metrics via x_label filtering.
