Summary

platform is one string carrying two orthogonal decisions — an architecture
(a2a3 / a5) and an execution mode (the sim suffix). I traced who reads
which half:

Phase Reads Where
Compile architecture only — codegen never sees the string (0 reads of platform under python/pypto/backend/) ir/compile.py:110-112
Assembly architecture → runtime library directory kernel_compiler.py:36-40
Assembly suffix → .so vs .o, and whether to extract a text section device_runner.py:291,307
Dispatch suffix → gates the two-pass swimlane runner.py:925, distributed_runner.py:1373,2911
Dispatch whole token → refuse an artifact whose platform differs from the worker's worker.py:516

So RunConfig now stores what it chooses, and derives the rest:

RunConfig(arch=BackendType.Ascend950, execution_mode=ExecutionMode.ONBOARD).platform  # "a5"
RunConfig(platform="a5").arch                                                         # Ascend950

arch is typed BackendType rather than a new Arch enum on purpose: the two
are 1:1, so a third spelling would recreate exactly the redundancy the two
previous commits removed. backend_type stays as the read accessor, now simply
returning arch.

What this deletes

__post_init__ no longer validates the string against four literals, nor
rebuilds it from the backend it implied:

if not self.platform.startswith(expected_arch):
    sim_suffix = "sim" if self.platform.endswith("sim") else ""
    self.platform = f"{expected_arch}{sim_suffix}"

That decompose-and-reassemble existed because the packed string could disagree
with the architecture it named. As separate fields that state cannot be built.

runner.py's copy of the architecture mapping is gone too: _arch_name asks the
backend handler — the C++ side that already owns the string and stamps it as
pto.target_arch. A test pins the two against each other.

What does not move

The wire form. cfg.platform is still a plain str, so the 94 string-shaped
uses across this repository and pypto-lib, the artifact sidecars, --platform,
and simpler's Worker(platform=...) are untouched. platform= stays a
constructor keyword — 238 call sites use it — and sets both axes. Nothing in
pypto-lib changes.

platform= deliberately wins over an arch= / execution_mode= in the same
call rather than reporting a conflict: replace(cfg, platform=...) re-supplies
both axes from the existing instance, and nothing can tell that echo from a
caller contradicting themselves — the ambiguity this file already documents for
its deprecated keywords, and which cost two rounds on backend_type in #2626
(now merged).

Scope

The split lands on the class that chooses a target. CompileOptions,
RunOptions, CompiledProgram, ChipWorker and the assembly layer only carry
one and keep the string; the eight remaining endswith("sim") sites all hold a
carried string rather than a config.

The two other copies of the architecture mapping (ir/compile.py,
kernel_compiler.py) also remain. Collapsing them needs a shared home that
neither ir nor runtime owns — a decision of its own, not a detail of this
change.

Verification

Run in the worktree against its own build, at the pushed commit.

The same two ambient tests are deselected as on #2626, both confirmed failing on
unmodified main in this worktree.

Device tests were not run; this change touches no kernel or codegen output.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates RunConfig into typed compile, run, and DFX option views. It makes ir.compile options keyword-only, unifies JIT option forwarding, replaces _DfxOpts, and moves parameter metadata into pypto.ir.param_info.

Changes

Runtime option model

Layer / File(s) Summary
Typed RunConfig option model
python/pypto/runtime/runner.py, tests/ut/runtime/test_run_config.py, docs/en/dev/08-entry-points.md, docs/zh/dev/08-entry-points.md
RunConfig now derives platform and backend_type from arch and execution_mode. It exposes CompileOptions, RunOptions, and DfxOptions views.
Compile and JIT option forwarding
python/pypto/ir/compile.py, python/pypto/jit/decorator.py, python/pypto/runtime/__init__.py, docs/*/user/execution/00-compile.md, examples/models/*
ir.compile accepts only positional program. JIT compilation forwards RunConfig.compile_kwargs(). Runtime ABI documentation and public option exports were updated.
DFX option propagation
python/pypto/runtime/{runner.py,distributed_runner.py,execute_artifact.py,worker.py}, python/pypto/runtime/debug/*, tests/ut/runtime/*, tests/st/harness/core/test_runner.py, docs/*/dev/03-runtime-dfx.md
Runtime paths and tests now use public DfxOptions and RunConfig.dfx_options() instead of _DfxOpts.
IR parameter metadata boundary
python/pypto/ir/{param_info.py,compiled_program.py}, python/pypto/runtime/debug/run_script_writer.py, tests/ut/ir/test_compiled_program.py, docs/*/dev/08-entry-points.md
Parameter metadata and dtype conversion moved to pypto.ir.param_info. compiled_program re-exports the metadata, and import-boundary tests were added.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d2010

JIT calls requesting different output or diagnostic settings can reuse an earlier artifact, leaving requested outputs or diagnostics absent. Resolve the cache contract before merge.

Poem

A rabbit reviews the options with care
Typed little bundles hop through the air
DFX sheds its private disguise
Metadata finds a leaf-module home
JIT kwargs march in a tidy line
Compile welcomes keywords, one at a time

…n_mode

`platform` is one string carrying two orthogonal decisions — an architecture
(`a2a3` / `a5`) and an execution mode (the `sim` suffix) — and each is read by a
different consumer:

- compilation takes only the architecture; codegen never sees the string
  (zero reads of `platform` under `python/pypto/backend/`);
- assembly reads both: `kernel_compiler` picks the runtime library directory
  from the architecture, `device_runner` picks `.so` vs `.o` and whether to
  extract a text section from the suffix;
- dispatch reads the suffix to gate the two-pass swimlane, and the whole token
  to refuse an artifact whose platform differs from the worker's.

`RunConfig` now stores what it chooses — `arch: BackendType` and
`execution_mode: ExecutionMode` — and derives `platform` from them. `arch` is
typed `BackendType` rather than a new enum on purpose: the two are 1:1, so a
third spelling would recreate exactly the redundancy hw-native-sys#2626 removed.
`backend_type` stays as the read accessor, now simply returning `arch`.

The wire form is untouched. `cfg.platform` is still a plain `str`, so the 94
string-shaped uses across this repository and pypto-lib, the artifact sidecars,
`--platform`, and simpler's `Worker(platform=...)` all keep working. `platform=`
remains a constructor keyword — 238 call sites use it — and sets both axes. It
is also added to `RunConfig.__signature__`: `functools.wraps` on the `__init__`
wrapper copies the dataclass-generated signature, which lists the two axes and
not the spelling almost every call site uses, so doc tools and IDEs would report
an accepted keyword as unsupported.

Two things go away with the packing. `__post_init__` no longer validates the
string against four literals, nor rebuilds it from the backend it implied:

    if not self.platform.startswith(expected_arch):
        sim_suffix = "sim" if self.platform.endswith("sim") else ""
        self.platform = f"{expected_arch}{sim_suffix}"

That decompose-and-reassemble existed because the packed string could disagree
with the architecture it named. As separate fields, that state cannot be built.
And `runner.py`'s copy of the architecture mapping is gone: `_arch_name` asks
the backend handler, which is the C++ side that already owns the string and
stamps it as `pto.target_arch`. A test pins the two against each other.

Both axes are validated at construction. The packed string used to be checked
against four literals, and the split removed that without replacing it: the two
fields make a *disagreeing* platform unrepresentable, but not a nonsensical one.
`execution_mode="sim"` is not `ExecutionMode.SIM`, so it would have read as
ONBOARD and turned a simulator request into a hardware run, named `a2a3` rather
than `a2a3sim`. Both now raise `TypeError` naming the value and pointing at
`platform=`.

The class is `kw_only`, which is what makes the precedence below true: the
wrapper rewrites `kwargs`, so a positional `arch` would reach the generated
`__init__` alongside the rewritten keyword and raise "multiple values for
argument". No call site anywhere passes `RunConfig` arguments positionally.

`platform=` deliberately wins over an `arch=` / `execution_mode=` in the same
call rather than reporting a conflict. `replace(cfg, platform=...)` re-supplies
both axes from the existing instance, and nothing can tell that echo from a
caller contradicting themselves — the ambiguity this file already documents for
its deprecated keywords, and which cost two rounds on `backend_type` in hw-native-sys#2626.

Scope: the split lands on the class that *chooses* a target. `CompileOptions`,
`RunOptions`, `CompiledProgram`, `ChipWorker` and the assembly layer only carry
one, and keep the string; the eight remaining `endswith("sim")` sites all hold a
carried string rather than a config. The two other copies of the architecture
mapping — `ir/compile.py` and `kernel_compiler.py` — also remain: collapsing
them needs a shared home that neither `ir` nor `runtime` owns, which is a
decision of its own rather than a detail of this change.

Verified in the worktree against its own build: `pytest tests/ut/ -n 16` →
11192 passed, 8 skipped, 1 xfailed; the 12 `tests/lint/check_*.py` scripts pass;
`ruff check` / `ruff format --check` clean; `pyright` on the changed module
reports 0 errors; `markdownlint-cli2` clean on the changed pages. Two tests are
deselected, both failing identically on unmodified main in this worktree:
`test_symlinked_import_path_still_names_the_caller` and
`test_generated_orchestration_compiles_against_the_pinned_runtime`.

No device tests: this change touches no kernel or codegen output.
