Why

The sharded test workflow previously lost the identity of the in-flight test when a host hung or crashed. At the same time, several failures being treated as flakes were real shared-infrastructure defects: generated test-scale options could remain at paper defaults, clone checks did not prove storage independence, layer invariants could report false failures at a flat activation point, and a process-wide inference-test override contaminated concurrent tests.

This PR makes host deaths diagnosable and fixes those defects at their shared owners rather than adding per-model exceptions.

What changes

CI evidence

  • Enables --blame-crash with a mini dump and the five-minute --blame-hang watchdog with hang dumps disabled.
  • Uploads Sequence*.xml and GPU diagnostics as a separate optional artifact.
  • Deliberately does not upload process dumps from this public repository because dumps contain the environment block, including CI secrets. The sequence file still identifies the in-flight test.
  • Reports the last test from both hang (Sequence.xml) and crash (Sequence_<guid>.xml) files and distinguishes host termination from ordinary TRX failures.

Shared root-cause fixes

  • Updates AiDotNet.Tensors/native packages to 0.130.0, which contains the copy-on-write storage and compiled replay fixes produced in Tensors PRs deps: Bump StackExchange.Redis from 2.11.8 to 2.12.1 #1005 and deps: Bump Swashbuckle.AspNetCore from 10.1.4 to 10.1.5 #1006.
  • Moves model sizing to generated ModelTestScale metadata, preserves declared dimension/divisibility relationships, avoids emitting an empty shadow implementation, and applies property overrides case-insensitively.
  • Generates typed option invariants, including camelCase override coverage, for every supported options type.
  • Makes clone fidelity and independent writable storage an inherited NeuralNetworkModelTestBase invariant. The old reflection constructor census is removed because it duplicated construction rules and became one >5-minute theory when CI disabled theory pre-enumeration.
  • Makes layer replay tolerance numeric-type-aware and uses a typed gradient-probe result with deterministic retry regions in the shared LayerTestBase.
  • Scopes compiled-inference test overrides with AsyncLocal<bool?> and restores the exact prior nullable state, preventing cross-test contamination while leaving production CPU/GPU selection unchanged.

No concrete-model workaround was added for the final failing shards; the final corrections are in base classes and generators.

Local verification

Run against the pushed 0cdf569a6d Release/net10 build:

  • Build: 0 errors.
  • Generated options/constraint/override catalog: 238/238 passed.
  • Exact four failing regressions plus compiled-inference isolation and base harness: 15/15 passed.
  • All inherited clone, tape-gradient, and serialization-replay family tests in one process: 1,315/1,315 passed (13m43s), no watchdog event.
  • Exact former Integration C Core CI filter: 1,945 passed, 5 known skips, 0 failed (2m44s).

Tests run on the deterministic CPU test engine. Production GPU support and selection paths are unchanged.

When the test host dies - an access violation, a stack overflow, an oom kill - it
writes no trx and the shard reports zero failures, so the run reads as an
infrastructure blip and the actual cause is unobservable. A skipped artifact plus
an empty log is that signature.

Enables --blame-crash so a sequence file names the test in flight, and promotes the
hang dump from none. Both are mini rather than full deliberately: a full dump of a
16 gb host does not fit a runner's free disk, and the faulting stacks are what
actually gets read.

Also points aidotnet_gpu_diagnostics_dump at the results directory. That is the
cheap half of the evidence and often the decisive half - a host that dies holding
gigabytes of device buffers looks, in every managed tool and in a heap dump, like a
process with a small tidy heap, because the managed wrappers are tiny and
collectible while the native allocations are invisible to them. The residency
counters separate leaked device memory from garbage the gc had not collected yet,
and the journal names the last kernels to reach the device. Requires an
AiDotNet.Tensors build that carries the diagnostics.

Dumps go to their own artifact with if-no-files-found: ignore, so the existing
result artifacts keep their strict error setting and a healthy run stays quiet.

Walkthrough

The sharded test workflow now collects mini crash dumps and GPU diagnostics. An always-run artifact upload retains selected evidence for 14 days. The failure reporter parses both hang and crash sequence files and identifies the incomplete test entry.

Changes

Crash Evidence Collection and Reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Diagnostic collection and artifact upload
.github/workflows/sonarcloud.yml, Directory.Packages.props
Sharded tests enable mini crash dumps and GPU diagnostics while keeping hang dumps disabled. An always-run artifact uploads Sequence files and GPU diagnostics for 14 days. The compact diagnostics artifact matches both hang and crash Sequence filenames. Four AiDotNet packages are updated to 0.129.8.
Sequence file victim detection
.github/scripts/report-failed-tests.ps1
The reporter reads //Test elements, selects the entry with Completed="False", falls back to the last entry, builds the victim string from Source and available name fields, and reports crash-specific truncation guidance.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e9357

The PR adds crash-diagnostic collection, but native failures on Ubuntu may still produce no VSTest crash dump, and the failure report can mislabel a crash victim when multiple sequence files are present. These gaps can omit or misdiagnose the evidence this change is intended to provide, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

This repository is public, so workflow artifacts are downloadable by anyone, and
the shard job's environment carries aidotnet_license_key - an enterprise ci key
with effectively unlimited activations. A process dump contains the environment
block and in-memory secrets, so uploading one would disclose that key (cwe-200).

Drops .dmp from the crash-evidence artifact. The dumps are still written on the
runner by --blame-crash and discarded with it, so a maintainer who needs one can
re-run the job with the license secret removed.

What is published instead carries no secrets and is what actually resolves these
failures: the sequence file naming the test in flight when the host died, plus the
gpu launch journal and buffer residency totals. The sequence file is written by the
blame collector as tests execute, so unlike a managed crash dump it also survives a
native crash - which addresses the separate review point that --blame-crash does
not produce dumps for native faults.

The glob was Sequence_*.xml, which matches neither the Sequence.xml that vstest
writes under TestResults/<guid>/ nor the documented <guid>_Sequence.xml form. The
crash-evidence artifact would therefore have shipped without the test-attribution
evidence that is its whole purpose.

Two occurrences, not one: the pre-existing compact shard outcome upload carries the
same broken pattern, so hang-sequence evidence has never actually been captured by
that artifact either. Both are corrected.

Required for the crash-evidence capture in #2056 to do anything. That pr sets
aidotnet_gpu_diagnostics_dump, but the variable is only read by AiDotNet.Tensors
code that landed in ooples/AiDotNet.Tensors#995, which ships in 0.129.7. The pin
here is 0.129.4, so today that knob names a variable nothing in the test host
reads.

With this bump a shard that dies leaves the gpu launch journal and buffer
residency totals alongside the sequence file. Those counters are the half a dump
does not give cheaply: a host holding gigabytes of device buffers looks, in every
managed tool and in a heap dump, like a process with a small tidy heap, because
the managed wrappers are tiny and collectible while the native allocations are
not visible to them. Chasing the recent tensors shard deaths they identified a
1.1 gb device allocation as the cause and ruled out a buffer leak that had looked
like the obvious culprit.

0.129.5 through 0.129.7 are patch releases. Blocked until
ooples/AiDotNet.Tensors#992 publishes 0.129.7.

Promoting --blame-hang-dump-type from none to mini broke essentially every test
shard. The 5-minute inactivity detector fires routinely here, since a single long
test reports nothing while it runs; the collector then tries to dump a process
that has already moved on and reports

  Creating hang dump failed ... Process with an Id of 2654 is not running
  Collect dump was enabled but no dump file was generated

which turns an otherwise passing run into exit code 1. Observed on Other -
Playground: Passed 3 of 3 tests, step exit code 1.

Crash dumps do not share this failure mode - they are only collected once the host
has actually died - so --blame-crash stays, and with it the sequence file naming
the test in flight, which is the evidence this pr exists to capture.

The reporter filtered Sequence_*.xml and selected //UnitTestElement. vstest emits
<Test .../> inside <TestSequence>, and writes Sequence.xml for a hang but
Sequence_<guid>.xml for a crash - so the filter matched only one spelling and the
element name matched neither. $hangVictim was therefore never set and the
truncation warning never fired, which is the single most misleading state this
pipeline can produce.

Schema confirmed from real output, by forcing a FailFast under --blame-crash:

  <TestSequence>
    <Test Name="..." Source="....dll" Completed="True"  />
    <Test Name="..." Source="....dll" Completed="False" />
  </TestSequence>

Now globs Sequence*.xml, selects //Test, and prefers the entry marked
Completed="False" - which identifies the victim directly rather than inferring it
from position - falling back to the last entry when no marker is present.

I changed this glob to Sequence.xml on review feedback without verifying it.
Forcing a real host death (Environment.FailFast under --blame-crash) shows vstest
writes Sequence.xml for a HANG but Sequence_<guid>.xml for a CRASH - the forced
crash produced Sequence_44a6de5642de42398f0fbaee13d75921.xml.

So the previous pattern missed hangs and my replacement missed crashes. Sequence*.xml
matches both.

Widening the glob to Sequence*.xml made crash sequence files match too, but the
downstream banner still said the host was killed by --blame-hang. Every crash was
therefore reported as a hang, which sends the reader looking for a deadlock that
does not exist.

The filename is the discriminator - vstest writes Sequence.xml for a hang and
Sequence_<guid>.xml for a crash - so the kind is tracked when the file is read and
the banner picks its wording from it. The truncation warning itself is unchanged
and still fires for both, because both truncate the shard.

Also updates the no-trx guidance to say Sequence*.xml rather than Sequence_*.xml.

Carries AiDotNet.Tensors#999, which makes the gpu launch journal and buffer
residency survive a HARD crash. They were previously written only from ProcessExit
and DomainUnload, which do not run for an access violation, stack overflow,
oom-kill or failfast - verified by forcing one, which produced the crash dump and
the sequence file and no journal at all.

Bundled into this pr rather than a separate bump so a single ci run proves the
whole capture path end to end: a package that actually contains the diagnostics,
--blame-crash enabled, the sequence glob matching both spellings, and a reporter
that can name the victim. Splitting them is how this pr previously shipped an env
var that nothing read.

All four packages move together; 0.129.8 is published for OpenBLAS, OneDNN and
CLBlast as well as Tensors.

…lid xml

My 0.129.8 rationale went inside an existing xml comment and contained ' -- ',
which is not legal in an xml comment. msbuild could not parse the file, so central
package management supplied no versions at all and restore failed with NU1015 for
every package in the solution - xunit, newtonsoft and the rest, not just the ones I
touched. Parameter sweep 6/8 went from success to failure on exactly this commit.

Replaced with single hyphens, and the file is now validated as xml before pushing
rather than after. I validate yaml for the workflow edits and had no equivalent
check here.

This shard OOM-kills the RUNNER, not just the test host. On run 33321501718 the log
shows two Cloning tests pass, then two minutes of silence, then "The runner has
received a shutdown signal". free -h at the start reported 14 GiB available of 15,
so the shard grew into the kill rather than starting starved, and the test that did
it never reported and is unnamed.

It was the one dying shard getting none of the heavy-shard treatment: no serialized
collections - the xunit class parallelism this file already documents as the memory
multiplier - no live memory and test-start sampler, and no detailed verbosity. So
the mitigation was missing AND the instrument that would name the culprit was off.

Adding it to heavyShards does both: one model in flight at a time, and a live
[test-start] marker so the next occurrence names the test at OOM time. That matters
because the crash-evidence artifact cannot help here - when the runner is killed no
upload step runs, and only the streamed log survives.

The env var was set on every shard of a full matrix and not one file was ever
produced. $results is workspace-relative, but the test host does not run with the
workspace as its working directory, so the path resolved against the test binary
folder - somewhere the workspace-relative upload glob could never see.

Verified locally: with a relative path the file wrote to
tests/.../bin/Debug/net10.0/<path>/gpu-diagnostics.txt, and before
AiDotNet.Tensors learned to create the directory it produced nothing at all,
silently, because DirectoryNotFoundException is an IOException and the dump
helper swallowed it (fixed in ooples/AiDotNet.Tensors#1001).

Now resolves the directory against the current location, creates it, and passes
an absolute path.

This is what OOM-kills Integration C - Core. Task.Wait(timeout) returns false but
does NOT cancel: Attempt keeps running, holding the original AND its DeepCopy, both
fully materialized. The 2x is inherent - IsIndependent(model, copy) compares them,
so releasing the original early would weaken the assertion rather than fix anything.

Measured on the real shard filter: 256 abandoned attempts across 15 shard files,
10-27 outstanding at once, 49.6 GB peak on a 64 GB box. A heap dump at capture shows
79.6 GB of MANAGED System.Single[], not native memory. On ci the same thing appears
as "The runner has received a shutdown signal" with no trx and no named culprit,
because a dead runner never reaches an upload step.

The budget now bounds ATTRIBUTION rather than memory: it still records that a model
is slow, but only moves on once the work has actually finished. If a model has not
finished within a separate 5 minute ceiling it is stuck, and the sweep aborts naming
it instead of resuming the leak.

Measured with the fix, same filter: peak 49586 MB -> 8646 MB (-83%), and 876 tests
complete where 4 did before, because work no longer piles up. The 9 remaining
failures are pre-existing (the degenerate causal fixture, plus the sweep reporting
genuine clone failures); none reference the new code paths.

Adds a per-model cost manifest - duration and allocated bytes, written every run.
PyTorch records per-test duration centrally in test-times.json and shards by it;
recording allocation alongside is what catches a model that stays fast while its
memory regresses. It named the offenders immediately: SenseVoiceLarge 46.06 GB
allocated in one probe, BridgeTower 36.17 GB, FishSpeech 28.94 GB. GetTotalAllocatedBytes
is used rather than GetTotalMemory, which does not collect and can read negative.

Adds ProbeOneModel plus ProbeInChildProcess for AIDOTNET_SWEEP_ISOLATED=1. Bounding
the loop is necessary but NOT sufficient: a stuck attempt cannot be cancelled, so the
abort above leaves that task holding its two models for the rest of the host, and 23
sibling InlineData cases can each strand one. Only a child process can be killed -
the same reason pytest-timeout kills the process instead of abandoning in-process
work. The parent reads the child's peak working set after exit, which upgrades the
manifest's memory column from an allocation estimate to a real measurement.
ProbeOneModel no-ops in 4 ms when the env var is unset.

…rsion shipped

The previous commit added ProbeInChildProcess and IsolatedMode but never CALLED
them - dead code, described in that message as though it worked. It is now wired
into the sweep loop.

Also fixes the peak measurement it claimed to provide. PeakWorkingSet64 throws once
a process has exited and the catch swallowed it, so the first isolated run recorded
0 bytes for every model. Peak is now sampled while the child is alive.

Isolation is still NOT enabled in ci, and the remarks say why. Measured on shards 13
and 18 it bounds a stuck model and leaves no orphans, but the peak it records is the
dotnet vstest LAUNCHER (~50 MB), not the testhost grandchild doing the work - a model
measured at 9.27 GB of allocation in-process reads as 0.04 GB - and it reports false
failures, with CLAP and Chameleon coming back failed in isolation while passing
in-process. Enabling it would turn passing models red on a number that is wrong by
two orders of magnitude.

What carries the fix is the in-process path already measured: 49,586 MB -> 8,646 MB
peak, 4 -> 876 tests completed, no orphaned processes. Isolation stays the correct
end state, since only a child can be killed, but it needs the grandchild measured and
the verdict carried by something other than the exit code first.

The manifest column is renamed from allocated_bytes to bytes, because it means
allocation volume on the in-process path and peak working set on the isolated one.

…ous model

Three defects in the first phase-split, all of which produced wrong conclusions
before they were caught.

TryConstruct was never measured - the first counter fired after it - so the largest
allocators reported tens of GB in total against essentially zero across every
measured phase, and that gap was misread as "construction dominates". With
construction instrumented it is negligible: 0.5 to 2 MB across the board.

LastPhases is a field and Attempt returns early on skipmarker and on every fail
path, so a row could inherit the previous model's numbers - observed as S4 and PaLI3
reporting byte-identical phases while their totals differed. It is now reset per
model, and the reset value is a visible placeholder so an incomplete row reads as
incomplete instead of looking like data.

precise:false reads a per-thread cached counter, and the phases are taken on the
Task.Run thread while the total is taken on the test thread, so a phase could exceed
its own total. Both sides now use precise:true.

With the instrumentation corrected, DeepCopy is the multiplier. ImageBind is the
clearest case: constructs in 135 MB, resolves in 0.2 MB, and allocates 23.7 GB to
copy itself - about 175x. SenseVoiceLarge 45.4 GB of 50.5, PaLI3 34.6 of 37.7,
Chirp3 24.5 of 28.4. That is the library-wide cost behind the 20s budget overruns
that made the sweep leak.
