Subject: [PATCH 01/11] [None][test] DO NOT MERGE: CI diagnostic for Cosmos3
 LPIPS golden divergence

The Cosmos3 LPIPS goldens pass in CI but reproduce on no developer machine we
can build. edge_t2i measures 0.117127 locally against the 0.0056 recorded at
creation, while every other VisualGen golden (qwenimage at 50 steps, wan, flux)
reproduces locally without trouble.

Ruled out locally, each by measurement and nearly all bit-identical across the
change: GPU generation (B200 vs B300), torch build (PyPI 2.11.0, 2.12.0, and
NVIDIA-patched 2.13.0a0 inside an NGC container), the container itself, the
checkpoint, the models root, negative and system prompts, tokenization,
per-step transformer parity against diffusers, VAE round-trip, the flow
schedule, the SDPA backend, diffusers/transformers versions, and test order.

This instruments test_cosmos3_edge_t2i_lpips_against_golden to fingerprint the
inputs and intermediates CI actually uses -- environment, checkpoint config
hashes, golden bytes, conditioning text, the first and last transformer latent,
and the measured score -- so they can be diffed against the local values.

It reports through the assertion message and fails unconditionally because the
CI report API returns empty stdout for tests that pass.

To be reverted once the divergence is understood.

Subject: [PATCH 02/11] [None][test] DO NOT MERGE: run the Cosmos3 diagnostic
 pre-merge

The Cosmos3 LPIPS golden tests sit in an l0_b200.yml block whose terms are
`stage: post_merge`, so a PR pipeline never schedules them. Two bot runs
confirmed this: neither pipeline #54182 nor #54185 produced any record for
test_visual_gen_cosmos3.py, including with
--extra-stage "DGX_B200-PyTorch-Post-Merge-1", because the gate is in the
test-db terms rather than in the stage selection.

List the instrumented test in the pre_merge pytorch b200 block so the
diagnostic actually runs on a PR pipeline. Remove together with the
diagnostic itself.

Subject: [PATCH 03/11] [None][test] DO NOT MERGE: fingerprint checkpoint
 weights and tokenizer too

The payload hashed only checkpoint config JSONs, so a CI checkpoint with
identical configs but different weight bytes would evade it -- and weights do
not reach latent[first] either, so nothing else in the payload covers them.
Add per-safetensors size plus head/tail-1MiB digests and the tokenizer.json
hash, closing the different-checkpoint and different-tokenizer branches.

Subject: [PATCH 04/11] [https://nvbugs/6418815][test] Pin fp32-matmul
 precision in VisualGen LPIPS paths

Root cause of the Cosmos3 LPIPS golden divergence (nvbugs 6418815, 6437341):
NGC PyTorch containers default matmul TF32 on (float32_matmul_precision
"high") while PyPI torch defaults it off ("highest"), and Cosmos3 is the only
VisualGen model with fp32 GEMMs inside its denoising loop -- the RoPE
frequency matmul (transformer_cosmos3.py:863) and the fp32 timestep embedder
(:1604), both deliberately upcast for accuracy. A CI-side fingerprint proved
the inputs bit-identical (same conditioning text, checkpoint, golden bytes,
and initial latent) with the trajectory diverging, and a single-flag A/B
moved LPIPS-to-golden 0.132 -> 0.054. bf16 compute is unaffected by the knob.

Pin "highest" (measured bit-stable across torch 2.11/2.12 and B200/B300) and
cuDNN TF32 in _lpips_deterministic_algorithms and around the three Cosmos3
generation helpers that do not use it, so goldens are portable across hosts
instead of encoding the golden-cutting container's arithmetic. Production
code inherits environment defaults unchanged; this pins tests only.

This also reverts the temporary CI diagnostic instrumentation from
test_cosmos3_edge_t2i_lpips_against_golden.

Subject: [PATCH 05/11] [https://nvbugs/6418815][test] Re-baseline Cosmos3
 LPIPS goldens under pinned arithmetic

Re-cut all seven runnable Cosmos3 goldens with fp32-matmul precision pinned to
"highest" (see the previous commit for the root cause: NGC-vs-PyPI TF32
defaults acting on Cosmos3's fp32 GEMM islands). Cut natively on B300 at
torch 2.12.0+cu130; under the pin the trajectory measured bit-stable across
torch versions and GPU generations, so these goldens are host-portable rather
than bound to the golden-cutting container.

- nano t2i / t2v: the two stale goldens (cut 2026-06-29, invalidated by the
  07-02 negative-prompt default change) -- re-cut and unwaived
  (nvbugs 6418815, 6437341).
- nano v2v, fp8-blockwise, edge t2i/t2v/i2v: previously CI-container-bound;
  re-cut under the pin. Edge goldens become TRT-LLM self-goldens; cross-stack
  correctness stays covered by TestDiffusersParity.
- Provenance JSONs rewritten with real commit/torch/flags, explicit
  negative_prompt, and media sha256; first provenance record for v2v.
- The other 35 zip members are byte-identical (CRC-verified on repack).
- l0_b200.yml gains TEMPORARY pre_merge listings (marked REMOVE BEFORE MERGE)
  so the post_merge-gated tests run on this PR's pipeline for verification.

Out of scope: i2v_4step (checkpoint absent in CI) and nvfp4 (nvbugs/6572800,
cross-model break) -- both need a pinned-flags re-cut when unblocked.

From e83a1a54e8a668520824f189e0a0f161326b3005 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Igor Shovkun <igshov@gmail.com>
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 21:20:34 -0700
Subject: [PATCH 06/11] [https://nvbugs/6418815][test] Record self-verification
 scores; drop temporary test listings

All seven re-baselined goldens self-verified at LPIPS 0.000000 (bit-exact
regeneration under the pinned arithmetic; 7 passed in 19m12s on B300 native,
torch 2.12.0+cu130). Record that in the provenance JSONs and remove the
temporary pre_merge listings -- the tests return to their permanent post_merge
home in l0_b200.yml, which is now identical to main.

Subject: [PATCH 07/11] [https://nvbugs/6418815][test] Pin fp32-matmul
 precision in the LPIPS scorer subprocess too

The evaluator runs as a subprocess of _run_lpips_eval, so the parent's torch
flags do not propagate (unlike CUBLAS_WORKSPACE_CONFIG, which travels via the
environment). Pin the same arithmetic in the child so the scoring half of the
path cannot inherit host defaults either. No behavioral change for the
committed goldens: the LPIPS net is convolution-only under cuDNN whose TF32
flag already defaulted identically everywhere, and LPIPS of identical inputs
is exactly zero under any arithmetic.

Addresses CodeRabbit review on PR #17780.

Subject: [PATCH 08/11] [https://nvbugs/6418815][test] Scope the fp32-matmul
 pin to Cosmos3 only

_lpips_deterministic_algorithms wraps generation, not just scoring, for LTX-2
(148, 247), HunyuanVideo (71), FLUX (139, 170), QwenImage (250) and WAN (339)
as well as Cosmos3. Pinning inside it therefore changed generation for five
model families whose goldens this PR does not re-cut, and the change is
invisible outside an NGC container -- on PyPI torch "highest" is already the
default, so a local run cannot detect it, and every one of those golden tests
is post_merge-gated.

Apply the pin per generation path instead. Cosmos3's three pipelines already
did so explicitly; add it to the feature-accuracy path and drop it from the
shared helper, which returns byte-identical to main. Blast radius now equals
the goldens this PR re-cuts.

Note this also leaves the NVFP4 feature path unpinned: it generates in a
spawned process via _run_single_device_feature_generator, reaching the shared
helper rather than the Cosmos3 module. That matches scope -- the nvfp4 golden
is waived under nvbugs/6572800 and is not re-cut here -- and should be pinned
whenever that golden is re-cut.

All seven re-baselined goldens re-verified after the change: LPIPS 0.000000
each, 7 passed in 13:16 (B300, torch 2.12.0+cu130).

Addresses review feedback on PR #17780.

Subject: [PATCH 09/11] [https://nvbugs/6418815][test] Leave the i2v_4step path
 unpinned

The pin reached _run_cosmos3_i2v_4step_lpips_pipeline, but this PR declares
i2v_4step out of scope and does not re-cut its golden. That golden is also a
diffusers cross-stack reference (Cosmos3DistilledModularPipeline, measured
0.0563 against a 0.10 threshold) whose provenance records torch_dtype and the
RNG patch but no fp32-matmul state and no container digest -- so whether
pinning improves or degrades agreement with it cannot be determined from what
is recorded.

Leave the path unpinned so the pin does not silently change a test this PR
says it is not touching. The test is skipped in CI today (checkpoint absent
from the models root), and the path should be pinned when the golden is
re-cut and the flag can be recorded alongside it.

Does not affect the seven re-baselined goldens: they are produced by
_run_cosmos3_lpips_pipeline, the feature-accuracy path, and
_run_cosmos3_edge_lpips_pipeline, all of which keep their explicit pins.

 feature profile

Correcting b110883621, whose message claimed the rescope left the NVFP4 path
unpinned. It did not. _run_single_device_feature_generator spawns a process
for NVFP4, but the child calls the same _generate_cosmos3_feature_image, so
the pin added there applied to NVFP4 too -- against a golden that is waived
(nvbugs/6572800) and not re-cut in this PR.

Make the precision context conditional on the profile so it covers only
fp8-blockwise, whose golden is re-baselined here. The guard has to live inside
the generator rather than at the call site, precisely because the spawned
child re-enters that function.

Pin the NVFP4 path when its golden is re-cut.
