Last of the stack — #2416#2418#2421. #2408 and #2414 have merged; #2417 was folded into #2416. A fork PR cannot target another fork branch, so this targets main and its diff includes the three earlier commits. Review only the fourth commit. Merge order: #2416, #2418, #2421, then this.

Summary

Two more ways a Graph body can defeat the recording, both silent at runtime.

Step B — derived slices

Replay patches a boundary tensor's address. A view taken inside the region is re-derived from whatever the recording froze, so it has to be taken at the call site:

wl = pl.tensor.slice(w, [128, 128], [layer_idx * 128, 0])   # inside the region

Step B moves each tensor.slice / tensor.view of a boundary parameter out and passes the result in as an additional boundary tensor. Per-site, deliberately: each slice becomes its own parameter with its own fixed shape, which is what the runtime's BOUNDARY_VIEW classification needs — that match is on same-buffer plus offset with the shape playing no part, so one parameter whose shape varied between calls could not be classified at all.

Two ordering details fall out and are easy to get wrong:

  • Statements are emitted scalars-first, then tensors, because a slice's offset is typically a Step A scalar and its binding has to precede its use. The parameter order is the reverse — tensors before scalars, as CoreTaskArgs requires. Getting this backwards emits C++ that references a local before its declaration (I did, and the generated file confirmed it).
  • A hoisted expression was captured from the original body, where the values it references were locals rather than parameters, so the call-site substitution has to bind those too — otherwise a slice's offset substitutes to a name that does not exist at the call site.

Emitted result:

int64_t base = (i * 128);
uint32_t wl_offsets[2] = {static_cast<uint32_t>(base), 0};
...
ChipTensor wl = ext_w.view(wl_shapes, wl_offsets);

CoreTaskArgs params_t0;
params_t0.add_input(ext_w);
params_t0.add_inout(ext_c);
params_t0.add_input(wl);
params_t0.add_scalar(i);
params_t0.add_scalar(base);
rt_submit_graph(GRAPH_KEY("layer_v1"), &pypto_graph_layer, params_t0);

A latent bug this exposed

The derivability check recursed over BinaryExpr / UnaryExpr by hand. That was enough for Step A's scalar arithmetic, but it treated a slice's shape and offset lists as non-derivable — so Step B silently never fired. It is now a generic walk that rejects on what actually matters (any call, any variable that is not a scalar parameter) rather than enumerating the node kinds it accepts.

Step C — allocations inside the region

Codegen lowers pl.create_tensor into a batched alloc_tensors, and a bare alloc_tensors in a recorded region makes the runtime declare the recording unsupported. This reports it with an actionable message rather than hoisting the allocation.

I implemented the hoist and then withdrew it, which is worth recording. It adds a second InOut parameter, and the return-alias mapping requires the callee's ReturnStmt to name a parameter directly to disambiguate which one a tensor return aliases — an invariant a synthesised parameter does not satisfy. Codegen fails with cannot map return of callee 'layer' to one of its 2 Out/InOut params. Automating this needs that mapping reworked first, which is out of scope here; the diagnostic tells the user exactly what to write in the meantime.

Also worth noting: only a bare alloc_tensors poisons the recording. A per-task add_output(TensorCreateInfo) is legal — that is how the runtime's own graph system test allocates — so the ScratchArena in the hand-written reference is a heap-footprint optimization, not a correctness requirement.

Test plan

  • Three new cases in test_legalize_graph_boundary.py: a boundary-tensor slice becomes a parameter with the appended tensors ahead of the appended scalars; a view of a region-local tensor is left alone; an in-region allocation is rejected on its message.
  • Full tests/ut: 9890 passed, 8 skipped. Plus clang-format, cpplint, ruff check/format, pyright, and every tests/lint script.
  • Generated C++ inspected by hand for the slice case (shown above) — declaration order and CoreTaskArgs tensor/scalar ordering both verified.

Still open across the stack

Numerical e2e on device, and the qwen3_14b_decode scene comparison against the hand-written reference. Neither could run here: the shared runner was returning ambient 507018 device faults throughout this session (analysed in #2408).

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 1abb2

The change hoists boundary-tensor slices and rejects unsupported in-region allocations, but some boundary-derived views remain unhandled and certain Graph calls can generate invalid code or stale replay addresses. These high-impact correctness risks make the PR not merge-ready until they are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Add the separator guard to the graph= branch.

Every other keyword branch in this block writes if (!first) stream_ << ", "; before its keyword. The is_graph branch does not.

This is correct today only because has_type is defined as func->func_type_ != FunctionType::Opaque && !is_graph, which makes the two branches mutually exclusive. If has_type is ever redefined, the printer emits type=pl.FunctionType.Graphgraph="...", which is invalid Python and does not reparse.

640-652: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

A hoisted binding is silently dropped when the Graph call is not in an AssignStmt or an EvalStmt.

AppendHoistedArgs pushes each rebuilt value into pending_prefix_. Only the AssignStmt and EvalStmt overrides splice that prefix back into the statement stream. Each override also clears pending_prefix_ on entry.

If a Graph call ever appears in another expression position — a YieldStmt value, a ReturnStmt value, an IfStmt condition, or a ForStmt bound — the bindings are discarded by the next clear, while the rewritten argument list still names those locals. The result is IR that references undefined variables, with no diagnostic.

Add an assertion so this fails loudly instead of producing broken IR.

♻️ Proposed fix: assert that no hoisted binding is left unspliced
   StmtPtr VisitStmt_(const AssignStmtPtr& op) override {
+    INTERNAL_CHECK(pending_prefix_.empty())

creates_ is collected but never used.

DerivedScalarCollector collects tensor.create / tensor.full results into creates_ and exposes them through creates(). BuildPlan consumes slices() and derived() only.

creates_ also cannot be non-empty in practice. TransformProgram calls CheckNoRegionAllocations at Line 765, before BuildPlan at Line 779, and RegionAllocationChecker rejects both ops outright.

The HoistedValue doc table at Line 97-101 still documents Step C as a hoist with an InOut parameter, which no longer matches the implementation. Remove creates_ and creates(), and update the table to state that Step C rejects rather than hoists.

Two Graph names can collapse onto one emitted symbol.

GraphFunctionSymbol derives the C++ symbol from auto_name::GetCompatibleBaseName(func_name). That helper sanitizes the name, so two distinct Graph function names that differ only in sanitized characters produce the same symbol. CollectReferencedGraphFunctions deduplicates by callee->name_, not by the emitted symbol, so both definitions would be emitted and the file would fail to compile with a redefinition.

Deduplicate on the emitted symbol as well, or assert uniqueness in GenerateGraphFunctions.

> Rebased onto `main` now that #2408 has merged, so this is a clean single-commit diff. The rest of the series (#2416#2417#2418#2421#2423) is held in draft and will be opened one at a time as each lands, to keep device CI off six simultaneous branches.

> **Updated after review discussion:** the `@pl.function(graph="<key>")` marker is gone. Graph is now authored and printed as `type=pl.FunctionType.Graph`, like every other `FunctionType`, and no cache key travels with the function. See [No cache key](#no-cache-key) below. This removed the entire decorator/printer/parser half of the change: `decorator.py`, `decorator.pyi`, `ast_parser.py` and `python_printer.cpp` are back to their `main` contents, and the decorator/printer/parser half of the change went away entirely.

## Summary

A Graph function is a callable orchestration fragment: its body is orchestration code, but each call site is a single task launch that the `host_build_graph` runtime records once and replays thereafter. A 40-layer decoder then costs one graph build instead of forty, and `N × per-layer` ring slots collapse to N outer tasks.

This lands the type. **Nothing consumes it yet** — the passes, the verifier and codegen follow in later PRs in this stack.

```python
@pl.program
class Decoder:
    @pl.function(type=pl.FunctionType.Graph)
    def layer(self, cur, normed, next_hidden, wq, layer_base: pl.Scalar[pl.INDEX]):
        ...

    @pl.function
    def decode(self, ...):
        for i in pl.range(40):
            self.layer(cur, normed, next_hidden, wq_view(i), i * 5120)
```

## `IsOrchestrationLike()`

This helper is the point of the exercise. Orchestration and Graph bodies are both host/AICPU task-orchestration code, so a pass that processes a function *because it orchestrates tasks* must accept both. `== FunctionType::Orchestration` silently skips a Graph body and emits a program missing whatever that pass contributes — no error, just absent output.

Code that means "the single compilation entry point" keeps the strict comparison, since a Graph is called by the entry and is never the entry itself. Rewriting the existing predicates is the next PR in the stack; this one only introduces the helper and documents the rule.

## Level and role no longer identify the entry

A Graph derives `{Level::CHIP, Role::Orchestrator}` like any other orchestration body. `IsChipOrch` in `materialize_comm_domain_scopes_pass.cpp` matched on the role alone, so it would have indexed every Graph function as a host dispatch target — the `func_type_` term there is a disjunct, so narrowing it would not have helped. It now excludes Graph explicitly.

I checked the neighbouring role-based predicates: the other four are additionally gated on `Level::HOST`, which a CHIP-level Graph never satisfies, and `DistributedCodegen` emits only the single highest-level orchestrator, which a CHIP-level Graph can never be in an L3 program.

## No cache key

An earlier revision of this PR carried a user-supplied cache key (`@pl.function(graph="qwen_decoder_layer_v1")`), on the assumption the runtime needed one. It does not. From `runtime/src/common/host_build_graph/docs/GRAPH_EXECUTION.md`:

> The function pointer is the default Graph identity.

```cpp
rt_submit_graph(&graph_function, args, /*variant=*/0);                       // default
rt_submit_graph(GRAPH_KEY("stable_name"), &graph_function, args, /*variant=*/0);  // opt-in
```

PyPTO emits exactly one C++ function per Graph function, so the function pointer is already one-per-topology and unique by construction. The explicit-key overload exists for callers that need a name stable across builds, and the same doc warns:

> The explicit-key overload deliberately excludes the Graph function pointer from the cache identity so the key remains stable; using the same key for different functions can select the wrong recorded topology.

So choosing the key form would trade an identity the compiler guarantees unique for a hand-typed one that two functions can collide on, with a silent wrong replay as the failure mode. The previous revision defended that with a validator, a per-program uniqueness check, and a printer special case — and the uniqueness check was scoped to one `@pl.program` while the runtime requires uniqueness across an orchestration callable, so it would not even have caught the collision it existed for.

Taking the default identity removes all of it. If a stable cross-build name is ever needed, it can be added later as an opt-in without changing anything here.

## The two scope outliners come along

`OutlineIncoreScopes` and `OutlineClusterScopes` admit only `Opaque` and `Orchestration`. A Graph body carrying a `pl.at` scope — which is how one is actually written — therefore stops on a leftover scope long before reaching the "graph codegen is not in place yet" diagnostic this PR adds, making that diagnostic unreachable for every realistic program. Both move to `IsOrchestrationLike` here rather than with the rest of the predicate audit in #2416.

`OutlineIncoreScopes`'s `Opaque -> Orchestration` promotion is an unconditional overwrite of `func_type_`, safe only while the gate admitted exactly those two. It is now guarded on the source type being `Opaque`; an unguarded write would silently erase the Graph marker of every Graph body that has a scope, leaving it indistinguishable from a plain Orchestration entry downstream.

## Round-trip

Graph prints as `type=pl.FunctionType.Graph`, the same form it is authored in, so print→parse goes through the path every other `FunctionType` already uses. `FUNCTION_TYPE_MAP` in `enum_utils.py` gains its one entry — without it, every print→parse roundtrip check (which the UT suite runs after *every* pass) would fail on a Graph program. The `@pl.program` walker needs no change: it already reads `type=` and validates it against that map.

## Test plan

- New `tests/ut/ir/test_graph_function.py`: the enum, level/role derivation, the type on **both** decorator paths, and print→parse round-trip. The not-yet-supported codegen path is exercised by compiling a Graph that opens its own `pl.at` scope — the realistic shape, reachable only because of the outliner change above — and the diagnostic is matched in full (with the `PartialCodegenError` table's wrapping normalised away) so a stale spelling in it cannot survive.
- `tests/ut/ir/transforms/test_outline_incore_scopes.py`: a Graph with an InCore scope is outlined and stays a Graph; one without a scope stays a Graph; the `Opaque -> Orchestration` promotion still fires. The first fails if the promotion guard is reverted.
- `test_function_type.py`: Graph added to the serialization sweep; the enum list now also pins its length against `FunctionType.__members__`, since distinctness alone could not notice a missing member (`Inline` was already absent).
- Full `tests/ut`: 10101 passed, 8 skipped, 1 pre-existing environment failure unrelated to this branch (`test_symlinked_import_path_still_names_the_caller`, which also fails on unmodified `main` in this worktree). Plus clang-format, cpplint, ruff check/format, pyright, and every `tests/lint` script.

> **#2417 folded in here.** The predicate audit was small and is not separately testable — the widenings have no observable effect without something that consumes Graph IR, and that consumer is the legalizer. #2417 is closed.

# Part 1 — widening the orchestration-body predicates

`FunctionType::Graph` exists after #2414 but almost nothing looks at it, so a Graph body falls through every pass gated on `== FunctionType::Orchestration`. Each of those silently produces a program missing whatever that pass contributes. This rewrites the sites whose gate means *"this body orchestrates tasks"* to `IsOrchestrationLike`, and leaves strict the ones that mean *"the single compilation entry"*.

**Switched** (orchestration-body semantics): `MaterializeRuntimeScopes` — codegen emits `PTO2_SCOPE` solely from `RuntimeScopeStmt`, so a skipped Graph body would be scope-less — plus `ClassifyIterArgCarry`, `AutoDeriveTaskDependencies`, `ExpandManualPhaseFence`, `FuseCreateAssembleToSlice` and `InjectGmPipeBuffer`. Switched with *exclude* semantics (a Graph is not a device kernel): `MemoryReuse`, `MaterializeSemanticAliases`, and `CollectInnerCalls`, where a Graph callee is a task launch rather than a wrapper's inner kernel call.

The two scope outliners take the same helper but landed in #2414: without them a Graph body carrying a `pl.at` scope never reaches codegen at all, so that PR could not otherwise test its own diagnostic.

**Left strict**: `DistributedCodegen`, `LowerHostTensorCollectives`, `SynthesizeAllreduceSignals`, `LowerCompositeOps` and `IsHostOrch` — all additionally gated on `Level::HOST`, which a CHIP-level Graph never satisfies — and `loop_invariant_mat_residency`'s root-orchestration check, whose `called_functions.count() == 0` conjunct already excludes a called Graph.

## Two that a naive rewrite gets wrong

**`InjectGmPipeBuffer` is a lockstep pair.** One site marks the alloc boundary (`:446`), the other rewrites its call sites (`:492`). Widening either alone leaves a caller passing the old arity to a rewritten `__gm_pipe_buffer`.

**`window_externalization`'s clone loop is not type-gated but its call-site rewrite loop was.** A Graph body would have kept calling the original signature while the clone carried the windowed ABI — a silent ABI skew.

## One site a grep for the predicate cannot find

`chip_func_types` in `pto_backend` is a hardcoded allow-list. Omitting Graph does not merely skip the fragment — the call-graph walk *stops* there, so every kernel reachable only through it vanishes from the per-chip sub-program and orchestration codegen then fails looking them up. This only bites multi-orch and L3 distributed builds, which a single-chip smoke test would not catch.

## Ordering note

The three verifiers that inspect Orchestration bodies (`verify_orchestration_references`, `verify_runtime_scopes_materialized`, `verify_iter_arg_carry_classified`) are deliberately left for the PR that adds the Graph verifier (#2418). They are lockstep pairs with the passes above: widening a verifier before its producing pass would hard-fail every Graph program, whereas this order only under-verifies in the interim.

# Part 2 — LegalizeGraphBoundary

The `host_build_graph` runtime records a Graph function's task topology on its first call and replays it afterwards. Replay patches exactly two things: boundary tensor addresses and boundary scalar values. Everything else — node count, shapes, dependency edges, block counts — is frozen into the recorded Definition.

Two classes of problem follow, and **both are silent at runtime**, which is why they are caught at compile time here rather than left to a log line.

## Step A — derived boundary scalars (the only silent wrong-answer path)

A boundary scalar is tracked by **pointer identity**: recording anchors the address of each `args.scalar(k)` slot and replay re-reads it. A value the body computes has no slot, so the runtime classifies it as static data and freezes the first call's value into the recording — with no warning on any later replay.

```python
@pl.function(type=pl.FunctionType.Graph)
def layer(self, cur, wq, layer_idx: pl.Scalar[pl.INDEX]):
    base = layer_idx * 5120     # derived: no argument slot, frozen at call #1
```

Step A rewrites this so the value arrives as a parameter and the arithmetic moves to each call site, where it becomes an ordinary pass-through scalar. A value is hoistable when its whole expression tree bottoms out in the Graph's own scalar parameters and constants — exactly what a call site can recompute, since it already supplies those parameters. Anything else (a task output, a tensor read, a runtime query) is rejected with a message naming the variable.

Two implementation notes for reviewers:

- Scalar arithmetic here is a `BinaryExpr` / `UnaryExpr` node, **not** a `Call`. The derivability check recurses through those two base classes, which covers all ~28 operator kinds at once; `As<T>` would not, since it matches one exact `ObjectKind` and each operator has its own.
- New parameters are **appended**, not prepended: `CoreTaskArgs` requires every tensor argument to precede every scalar one.

## Step D — boundary legality (silent fallbacks)

Every other constraint degrades to a silent non-graph fallback in a release build: the program stays correct and the feature simply does nothing. Rejected at compile time instead — an empty or over-32 tensor boundary, runtime-allocated (`Out`) tensor params, non-`In` scalar params, returning a computed value, over 1024 launched tasks, a Graph calling a Graph, a call site not supplying every parameter, and a launch carrying explicit dependencies or a dispatch predicate.

Two of these deserve a note:

- **The return check is deliberately narrow.** `return c` where `c` is an `InOut` parameter is the DSL's spelling for writing in place and lowers to an alias, so it is allowed. Only a genuinely *new* value is refused, since `rt_submit_graph` yields a valid task id solely on a cache **hit** — nothing can depend on a graph call's result. Rejecting all returns would have made the feature unusable in idiomatic PyPTO.
- **The predicate check is a wrong-answer path, not a fallback path.** A predicate on a graph launch is neither honoured nor rejected by the runtime — `graph_reset_outer_payload` silently zeroes it — so the region would run unconditionally.

## Pipeline position

After the final `Simplify`, immediately before `MaterializeRuntimeScopes`. Forced from both sides: `DeriveCallDirections` and `AutoDeriveTaskDependencies` must already have run so argument directions and cross-task edges are known, and `MaterializeRuntimeScopes` must not yet have run so no scope wrapper sits around the statements Step A moves.

`PassProperties` re-declares `CallDirectionsResolved` in `.produced` because the pass rewrites call arguments and their direction attrs, and `MaterializeRuntimeScopes` requires that property.

## Docs

New pass doc numbered 44; `44-47` renumbered to `45-48` in both languages, with every cross-reference, both index tables, the mkdocs nav and the `pass-doc-ordering` rule updated to match.

# Test plan

- New `tests/ut/ir/transforms/test_legalize_graph_boundary.py`: Step A hoisting, a pass-through scalar left alone, a non-Graph program proven structurally unchanged, the Step D rejections asserted on their messages, and two regressions that run the **scope outliner first** — the shape the real pipeline has — so the in-place `return c` idiom is proven to survive outlining while a genuinely computed return is still refused.
- `test_pass_manager_get_strategy_default` pins the Default strategy's pass list and was updated for the new entry.
- The Graph-body outlining regressions (`TestGraphFunctionTypeIsPreserved`) landed with the outliners in #2414 and keep passing here.
- Part 1 adds no tests of its own: every site in it is a predicate widening whose observable effect needs a consumer of Graph IR. Part 2 is that consumer, and its end-to-end compiles are what actually exercise the widened passes.
- Full `tests/ut`: 10167 passed, 8 skipped, 1 pre-existing environment failure unrelated to this branch (`test_symlinked_import_path_still_names_the_caller`, which also fails on unmodified `main` in this worktree). Plus clang-format, cpplint, ruff check/format, pyright, and every `tests/lint` script.

## Not in this PR

Derived tensor *slices* of a boundary tensor, and `tensor.create` inside a Graph body (a bare `alloc_tensors` poisons the recording outright), come in the P2 PR at the end of this stack.

# Review fixes

Five findings from the automated review, all confirmed against the code before fixing:

- **Multi-level derived scalars produced an undefined name at the caller.** `AppendHoistedArgs` seeded its substitution map with the callee's *parameters* only, so `base = idx * 128; end = base + 128` emitted `base + 128` at the call site while Step A erased `base`'s definition. Each substitution now feeds the next (`plan.hoisted` is in definition order, so one forward pass suffices).
- **The 1024-node check counted lexical call sites, so a loop walked past it.** `for _ in pl.range(2000): self.kernel(...)` counted as 1. Worse than the count: a recording is made once and replayed unchanged, so a launch count that can differ between calls is a wrong answer with no diagnostic. Loops with constant bounds are now multiplied through (saturating, so a nested product cannot overflow into a passing number); a loop whose trip count is not compile-time constant, a `while`, and a runtime `if` around a launch are rejected with messages naming the reason. A loop containing no launch is untouched — the rule binds topology, not compute.
- **`ExpandMixedKernel`'s deferred-waiter caller check was missed by the audit.** It asks "is the caller a task-level orchestration body", which a Graph is; strict `Orchestration` rejected a legal Graph dispatching a waiter, with a message telling the author to do what they already did.
- **Torch debug codegen did not follow the parser's Graph dyn-dim folding.** `_emit_dyn_dim_symbols` skipped Graph, so a folded extent symbol was emitted as a bare undefined name at `exec` time. The entry-selection comparison next to it stays strict — that one does mean "the single entry".
- **The verifier gap** — see the #2418 note above.

Each fix has a regression test, and each was confirmed to fail against the unfixed code before being committed.

Two more ways a Graph body can defeat the recording, both silent.

**Step B — derived slices.** Replay patches a boundary tensor's
*address*. A view taken inside the region is re-derived from whatever the
recording froze, so it must be taken at the call site. Step B moves each
`tensor.slice` / `tensor.view` of a boundary parameter out and passes the
result in as an additional boundary tensor.

Per-site, deliberately: each slice becomes its own parameter with its own
fixed shape, which is what the runtime's BOUNDARY_VIEW classification
needs. That match is on same-buffer plus offset with the shape playing no
part, so a single parameter whose shape varied between calls could not be
classified at all.

Two ordering details fall out of this and are easy to get wrong:

- The hoisted statements are emitted scalars-first, then tensors, because
  a slice's offset is typically a Step A scalar and its binding has to
  precede its use. The *parameter* order is the reverse — tensors before
  scalars, as `CoreTaskArgs` requires. Getting this backwards emits C++
  that references a local before its declaration.
- A hoisted expression was captured from the original body, where the
  values it references were locals rather than parameters, so the
  call-site substitution has to bind those too. Otherwise a slice's offset
  substitutes to a name that does not exist at the call site.

Also rewrites the derivability check as a generic walk. It recursed over
`BinaryExpr` / `UnaryExpr` by hand, which was enough for Step A's scalar
arithmetic but treated a slice's shape and offset *lists* as
non-derivable — so Step B silently never fired. The walk now rejects on
what actually matters (any call, any variable that is not a scalar
parameter) instead of enumerating the node kinds it accepts.

**Step C — allocations.** Codegen lowers `pl.create_tensor` into a
batched `alloc_tensors`, and a bare `alloc_tensors` in a recorded region
makes the runtime declare the recording unsupported. This reports it with
an actionable message rather than hoisting the allocation.

Hoisting was implemented and then withdrawn: it adds a second `InOut`
parameter, and the return-alias mapping requires the callee's ReturnStmt
to name a parameter directly to disambiguate which one a tensor return
aliases — an invariant a synthesised parameter does not satisfy, so
codegen fails with "cannot map return of callee to one of its 2 Out/InOut
params". Automating it needs that mapping reworked first, which is out of
scope here. Note that only a *bare* `alloc_tensors` poisons the
recording; per-task `add_output(TensorCreateInfo)` is legal, which is how
the runtime's own graph system test allocates.

Step C is gone. It rejected an allocation inside the region because a bare
`alloc_tensors` was said to make the runtime refuse the recording — which was
true of the runtime this branch was written against, and is not true of the one
now pinned. `pto_orchestrator.cpp` handles the case explicitly: "A Graph body may
allocate. The allocation records as a kernel-less node — the same shape
submit_dummy_task records." So an allocation is a legal node, and the counter in
LegalizeGraphBoundary counts it rather than the checker refusing it.

Two ways a boundary view could still be frozen, both silent.

`graph_rebind_tensor` patches a `BOUNDARY_VIEW` by overwriting `buffer_addr`,
`buffer_size`, `start_offset`, `version` and `address_space` from the invocation
and taking everything else — `shapes`, `strides`, `extent_elem` — from the
recorded template. So a view left inside the region keeps the offset *and* the
shape it had on the first call.

- **A view of a hoisted view was not collected.** The source check tested the
  original parameter set, so `wr = slice(wl, ...)` was skipped even after `wl`
  became a boundary parameter. The body is SSA in definition order, so tracking
  the vars already collected closes the whole chain in the same forward pass; no
  fixpoint is needed. The call site already binds tensors in definition order and
  records `binding[original] = local`, so the chained view substitutes its source
  without further changes.

- **A hoisted view's shape could read a boundary scalar.** Derivability is the
  wrong test for the shape operand: it is exactly what makes the *offset* safe to
  hoist, but the shape is not re-read on replay. Checked on the result type's
  extents, the same way the `tensor.create` rule is, since the shape arrives as
  one list-shaped operand.

A view of a boundary tensor whose operands are not derivable is now rejected
rather than skipped — skipping left it in the region, which is the silent path
the step exists to close.

The verifier gets the post-condition rather than a copy of the collection rule:
once Step B has run, no view of a boundary parameter survives in the body. That
holds whatever the pass's collection rule becomes.

Docs: the pipeline overview in both languages still said `01`-`46` while the
index tables listed through 48, and both pipeline listings stopped at
`InsertCommFence` and called it dead last — `MaterializeValidShapeSymbols` runs
after it.

A pass-through scalar made the post-rewrite check reject correct programs.

`DerivedScalarCollector` classifies `alias = <scalar param>` as a *pass-through*:
there is nothing to compute at the call site, so it is deliberately not hoisted
and its `AssignStmt` survives the rewrite. The post-rewrite
`UnhoistableScalarChecker` runs with an intentionally empty `hoistable` set and
accepts only a parameter or a literal, so the surviving alias was reported as a
value that "cannot be reconstructed at the call site" — of a variable that is a
direct copy of a parameter. `ConvertToSSA` emits exactly this shape
(`layer_idx__ssa_v1 = layer_idx`), so the rejection was reachable from ordinary
source.

The checker now resolves those aliases itself, following chains, which keeps its
post-condition strict without contradicting the collector's own model.

Test coverage the previous round claimed but did not have: a region-local view
(the "left alone" case previously had no view at all in it) and the pass-through
alias above.

Docs: `46-classify_iter_arg_carry.md` and `47-insert_comm_fence.md` still scoped
themselves to `Orchestration` functions in both languages, which stopped being
true when the predicate audit made those passes orchestration-like; and the
`InsertCommFence` row in both index tables described a publish-to-notify pair,
while the pass's own page documents four distinct markers and explicitly no
marker on notify.
## Review round 3

A Graph compiled against the default runtime produced C++ that does not build.

`GraphTaskArgs` and `rt_submit_graph` live only in the host_build_graph
orchestration API — `tensormap_and_ringbuffer` declares neither — but codegen
emits them for any Graph it sees, and `ir.compile` defaults the runtime to
tensormap_and_ringbuffer. So a user who writes `type=pl.FunctionType.Graph` and
compiles without naming a runtime got orchestration C++ referencing undeclared
symbols, surfacing as a C++ error in generated code rather than against the
function they wrote.

`LegalizeGraphBoundary` now rejects it where the offending function can be named
and the fix stated. Nothing caught this because every Graph test set
`RuntimeKind.HOST_BUILD_GRAPH` explicitly — which is also why adding the check
turned 33 of them red until their helpers were given the runtime a Graph
actually requires. The new coverage is the default path itself.
## Review round 4

Two ways a boundary view escaped Step B, and both come from the same gap: the
collector matched on the *immediate* source rather than on provenance.

- **A tensor alias bypassed hoisting.** `alias = w; wl = slice(alias, ...)` —
  `alias` is neither an original parameter nor a previously collected view, so
  `wl` stayed in the region and the recording froze the first call's offset. The
  verifier missed it for the same reason. Both now track a boundary root through
  bare tensor aliases, which also subsumes the chained-view case the previous
  round handled with a separate set.

- **A hoisted view was declared `In` unconditionally.** The comment claimed a
  view is read-only in the region; nothing enforced that, and a region may store
  *through* a view back into the parameter it came from. Declared `In`, codegen
  emits `add_input(view)`, so the launch is never registered as a writer of that
  buffer and a consumer downstream can be ordered against the pre-write contents.
  The hoisted parameter now takes the direction of the boundary tensor it views:
  a view cannot carry wider access than its root, so that is sufficient and never
  an under-declaration.

Docs: the Step C section opened by saying an allocation makes the recording
unsupported and closed by saying it is recorded as a kernel-less node. The second
is what the implementation does — a constant-shaped `tensor.create` is allowed —
so the section is rewritten around that, with the constant-shape rule and
`tensor.full` stated as the actual constraints. `MaterializeRuntimeScopes` also
still scoped itself to `Orchestration` in both languages, which stopped being
true when the predicate audit made it orchestration-like.
## Review round 5

The tensor-alias fix was only half of it: the collector learned to *accept* an
alias-derived view, but the call site had no way to resolve the alias.

`alias = w; wl = slice(alias, layer_idx * 128)` hoisted `wl` correctly, then
rewrote the caller to

    wl__graph_arg0 = pl.tensor.slice(alias__ssa_v0__FREE_VAR, ...)

naming a variable that exists only inside the Graph — `plan.passthrough` carried
scalar aliases only, so the substitution left the tensor one untouched.

Tensor aliases now join the same alias list, with a definition index, and the
call site replays **every** hoist and alias in one definition order rather than
binding scalars and then tensors. The body is SSA, so definition order is
dependency order, and that single order satisfies every cross-reference at once:
a scalar naming an earlier alias, a tensor alias naming an earlier hoisted view,
a view whose offset is an earlier hoisted scalar. `plan.hoisted` is in parameter
order (tensors before scalars) rather than definition order, so the replay walks
its own sorted view of it; parameter order is untouched.

The earlier test asserted only that `wl` appears in the Graph's parameter list,
which is exactly why this got through. Both alias tests now assert on the
rewritten caller — no `__FREE_VAR`, no Graph-local name, and the slice reads the
caller's own tensor — and a second case covers an alias of an earlier hoisted
view, which is what forces the single ordered replay.
Why a varying *offset* stays allowed is now written down next to the
constant-shape rule. Codegen clamps a runtime view to
`min(declared, source.shapes[i] - offset[i])`, so the actual shape is
offset-dependent even with a constant IR extent — but a hoisted view is passed as
its own boundary tensor, matches `BOUNDARY_EXACT` ahead of any `BOUNDARY_VIEW`,
and `graph_rebind_tensor` then replaces the whole `GraphTensor` rather than
keeping the template's shape. The frozen-shape path is `BOUNDARY_VIEW`, which is
the in-region case this step hoists out.

…vice (#2583)

## Why

Two gaps, and the second one only surfaced while closing the first.

**No ST coverage.** `FunctionType.Graph` landed across #2416 / #2421 / #2423 with
unit coverage of the compile side — including a test that compiles the emitted
`orchestration/main.cpp` against the pinned runtime headers. A `grep` for
`FunctionType.Graph` / `host_build_graph` / `rt_submit_graph` across `tests/st/`
returned nothing, so nothing showed that a *recorded* graph replays correctly.

**No JIT frontend.** Writing those tests in `@pl.jit` form turned out to be
impossible: `pl.jit` exposed `extern`, `host`, `incore`, `inline`, `opaque` — no
`graph`. The feature shipped reachable only from `@pl.program`.

## `@pl.jit.graph`

The decorator machinery was already factored for this, so it is three small
pieces: a `_SubFunctionDecorator("graph", allow_level=False)`, `"graph"` added to
the admissible dep types, and one branch in the specializer emitting
`@pl.function(type=pl.FunctionType.Graph)`. The runtime ABI comes from the
enclosing `PassContext`, which `@pl.jit` already reads when it lowers, so nothing
else needed plumbing.

Confirmed on the lowered IR — the marker survives outlining:

```
@pl.function(type=pl.FunctionType.Graph, level=CHIP, role=Orchestrator)  def accumulate_band(
@pl.function(type=pl.FunctionType.Orchestration, ...)                    def per_layer_accumulate(
@pl.function(type=pl.FunctionType.AIV, ...)                              def accumulate_band_incore_0(
```

## Coverage

Both of this feature's failure modes are quiet, which is what the cases are
shaped around.

| Test | Covers |
| ---- | ------ |
| `test_single_launch` | the minimal shape |
| `test_per_layer_accumulate` | **the frozen-scalar catcher** — bands hold distinct values, so a frozen offset gives 4.0 where 10.0 is expected |
| `test_no_graph_per_layer_accumulate` | same maths, no Graph, default runtime — an A/B on the feature |
| `test_boundary_view` | Step B: a boundary tensor sliced by a per-layer offset |
| `test_region_alloc` | Step C: a constant-shaped allocation in the region |
| `test_two_distinct_graphs` | two Graphs must stay two recordings — the runtime keys one on the emitted function's address |
| `test_replay_serves_a_second_call` | replay must patch boundary addresses and scalars, so fresh inputs give a fresh answer |

For the silent-fallback half there is no Python-visible runtime counter, so the
guard is on the compile side: `TestGraphIsNotSilentlyDroppedAtCompile` asserts the
lowered IR carries a `FunctionType.Graph`, which a region lowered to ordinary
tasks would not.

## Verification

Compile-side tests: 4 passed. Full `tests/ut`: 10895 passed. preflight clean.

**The seven device tests have not run locally.** This environment's installed
`_task_interface` is ABI-incompatible with the `runtime/` submodule, and an
unrelated existing case (`test_ci.py::TestCi::test_ci_ascend_start0`) fails
identically at the same import — so device validation happens first in CI.

## Not covered

"Compiled a graph, but the runtime declined to cache it" stays untested. It needs
a runtime-side counter for graph cache admission, which is a simpler-side change.
