Stacks on #243 — the router. Only the two commits listed below are this PR's; the diff shows #243's three until that merges, and merge order does not matter since neither changes the other's behaviour.

Why

#243 routes to a replica table fixed at launch: adding capacity means restarting the router. This adds the other half — start with N replicas and launch more into declared capacity when they are wanted, locally or over ssh.

The capacity model

One pool of (host, device-group) slots, declared in the config. Every launch takes one; every stop returns one.

ceiling  = sum over hosts of len(devices) // devices_per_replica
at start = --initial-replicas N      (default 1 when hosts are declared)
grow     = POST /replicas            -> 202, or 409 when the pool is full
shrink   = DELETE /replicas/{name}   -> drains, stops, returns the slot

Slots fill in config order, local machine before remote, so --initial-replicas 3 on a config with one local card and four on node02 fills the local one and spills two across. The ceiling is a real bound — on a shared cluster it is what stops the router taking every free card — and --max-replicas can lower it further.

devices_per_replica (default 1) is how many cards one replica needs. It is a property of the model and its kernels — 1 for Qwen3-14B, exactly 8 for DeepSeek V4, 16 for DSpark, where the expert-parallel width is compiled in — so an eight-card node holds eight Qwen replicas or exactly one DeepSeek V4. Declared rather than inferred: deriving it would mean reading a checkpoint on a machine the router has no reason to see, and a wrong value is caught on the replica at startup where the topology is validated and the error names the count it wanted.

Hosts under hosts are capacity the router may launch into; entries under replicas are endpoints that already exist. Only what it launched, it stops.

What a model load forces on the design

A replica takes minutes to become useful — ~130 s for Qwen3-14B with a warm kernel cache — and that shapes most of this:

  • A slot is reserved synchronously, before anything is spawned. If two callers could be handed the same device while the first launch was still loading, a fleet would take a cluster's cards before the first replica answered.
  • A launched replica is registered unroutable. ReplicaState.ready defaults True for statically configured replicas, which is right for them — one still loading refuses the connection anyway — but a replica we just started provably cannot serve, and the health poller is what promotes it.
  • A launch is detached and never waited on, with output to a log on the machine that runs it. Waiting would block the router for the whole load. --show-startup-logs is passed unconditionally because without it that log is empty.
  • A launch that never reports ready is stopped and its devices released, so a failed start cannot hold cards for the router's life.
  • A stop signals and returns; the slot stays taken until the replica actually stops answering. Freeing on the signal alone would let the next launch bind a port the old replica still holds, and that failure would look like a bad configuration.

Removal drains first: the replica leaves rotation, its pinned sessions are released so they re-route on their next turn rather than waiting out the TTL, and it is stopped once its in-flight requests finish or --drain-timeout expires. Draining is router-side and needs no serving change.

Lifecycle

An orderly shutdown (SIGTERM/SIGINT) drains and stops every replica the router launched. A crash runs no hook, so those replicas keep serving — deliberately, since each is minutes of model load. With --state-file the next start probes them and adopts the ones that answer, and names the rest as probable orphans still holding a device.

Security

/replicas starts processes on other machines. --admin-token gates it; without one, anyone who can reach the port can launch and stop replicas. identity_file is a path — key material never enters the config, the logs, or the API. Commands are built as argv and run with no shell.

Testing

119 router unit tests, no NPU. Three of them spawn a real process and drive it over a real socket, and they earned their place — they caught two bugs the faked-transport tests could not: the default stop command matched its own invocation, so pkill -f killed the shell carrying the pattern instead of the replica (over ssh, that is the remote shell); and the local transport opened its log without creating the directory.

Full tests/unit on current main (306a776): 528 passed, 0 failed. An earlier revision of this description reported 497 passed with 1 pre-existing failure; that failure was a missing prometheus_client in my container, not a repo problem, and is gone now that the environment is complete.

On hardware (hg-atlas-01, Qwen3-14B through task-submit): started with one replica, grew to the declared ceiling, a launch past it refused with 409, traffic even across the fleet, a session pinned to one replica across four turns, one drained and its slot reused, and no replica left running after shutdown. Run at both 4 cards and 2, the latter after rebasing onto current main.

DeepSeek V4 now runs end to end through the launcher. On eight cards of hg-atlas-01, through task-submit: the pool reported a ceiling of 1 (eight cards is one replica for this model, which is what devices_per_replica exists for), the replica was registered unroutable and promoted after a 370s load, served real text through the router ("The capital of France is Paris."), a session pinned to it, a second replica was refused with 409, and DELETE drained and stopped it. All eight ranks died — zero serving processes left and HBM back to its 28.8 GB idle baseline — which was the open question, since the default stop signals the parent and DeepSeek forks a chip child per rank. 15/15 checks, cards released, exit=0.

The ssh transport is now verified end to end, without NPUs. A router in terra-router-01 on hg-atlas-01 launched replicas on hg-atlas-02 over ssh, using a stdlib-only stub as the remote serving process via launch_wrapper — the point being to exercise the ssh boundary itself, not to spend two whole nodes proving the model loads. 21/21 checks, exit=0: a remote replica launched at startup and became ready in 2 s; requests crossed the link and the replica named itself; the fleet grew to the declared remote ceiling of 3 and a fourth was refused with 409; traffic split evenly ({d0: 3, d1: 3, d2: 3}); a session stayed pinned across four turns; a stream relayed across the link with data: [DONE] intact; a remote drain and stop returned the slot and it relaunched; and no remote replica survived shutdown.

Its first run failed, usefully. --show-startup-logs and the per-slot launch log put the cause on one line — OSError: [Errno 98] Address already in use, an unrelated container of mine holding the port on the remote host — and the launch timeout then stopped the replica and freed its slot, which is exactly the path §"A launch that never reports ready is stopped" describes. Two environment facts worth recording for anyone repeating this: the container needs openssh-client, and hg-atlas-02's sshd accepts RSA keys but rejects ed25519.

Still to come before this is ready for review: DeepSeek V4 across two nodes — the single-node run above and the ssh run above meet in the middle, but they have not been run as one thing yet. Scheduled for a window when the cluster is free.

A correction to an earlier revision of this description: I had written that the 600 s --launch-timeout default does not clear a cold DeepSeek load, citing 1198 s from an older measurement. The run above took 370 s, comfortably inside the default. That earlier figure was a different checkpoint on an earlier stack, so the number moves with both — the docs now give the measured loads and say to time your own and leave headroom, rather than asserting a threshold. The timeout error names the flag and the log file to read.

Accept the admin token from the environment, not only from argv.

The token passed to --admin-token stays in the router process argument vector. Any local user on the router host can read it from ps or /proc/<pid>/cmdline. That token is the only control in front of POST /replicas, which starts processes on other machines, so its disclosure gives remote process launch. Add an environment-variable source and keep the flag as a fallback.

Reject non-positive request and connection timeouts.

RouterConfig accepts zero and negative values from the CLI. HTTPX accepts these values during client construction, so startup does not reject them. Health probes pass connect_timeout_seconds as a per-request timeout, and proxy requests use the same client. A non-positive connection timeout can make those transport operations fail immediately. A non-positive request timeout can make proxied requests with bodies fail during upload because read=None only disables the response-read timeout.

Reject collisions between static replica names and generated slot names. RouterConfig checks uniqueness within each collection only. A static replica named node-d0 can collide with the slot generated for host node and device 0. launch_one accepts the detached process before ReplicaRegistry.add raises ValueError, leaving the process unregistered and its slot held. Validate generated slot names against static replica names in RouterConfig.

Validate optional JSON name fields as non-empty strings.

A non-empty list-valued name passes _parse_replica and _parse_host. RouterConfig.__post_init__ then calls set() on the names and raises TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'. The CLI catches only ValueError, so the invalid configuration produces an uncaught exception instead of the documented configuration error.

Validate a present name in both parsers before constructing ReplicaSpec or HostSpec. Keep the generated default when the field is absent.

Quote the remote dirname substitution.

target is shell-quoted, but $(dirname {target}) is not. If log_dir contains a space, the remote shell splits the substitution into several arguments. mkdir -p then creates wrong directories, the >> {target} redirect fails on the missing directory, and the launch fails with an opaque remote shell error.

🐛 Proposed fix
-            payload = f"mkdir -p $(dirname {target}) 2>/dev/null; nohup {payload} >> {target} 2>&1 &"

/health returned {"status":"ok"} unconditionally, which is a route-liveness
check on the API process rather than a serving-health check. Two failures were
therefore invisible to anything placed in front of the server:

- the worker process exits, and the engine blocks on its output queue until
  SERVING_WORKER_STEP_TIMEOUT (1200s by default), so a dead replica is
  indistinguishable from a slow one for twenty minutes;
- the engine loop raises, its exception is never retrieved, and _running stays
  True, so requests keep being accepted while nothing is ever scheduled again.

ReplicaEngineCore.is_ready() reports both by checking the loop task and the
worker process alongside _running; AsyncLLMEngine.is_ready() requires every
core. /health now answers 503 {"status":"not_ready"} when the engine cannot
serve.

Startup is unaffected: uvicorn runs the lifespan handler, which awaits
async_engine.start(), before binding the socket, so a replica still loading its
model refuses the connection rather than reporting not_ready.
A DeepSeek V4 replica already occupies all eight cards of a node (cli/main.py
pins --dp 8 --ep 8 --tp 1, and overlapped placement forces num_replicas == 1),
so a second replica is not expressible on one host at all. Scaling out is
therefore the only way to add capacity for it, and it is pure throughput
scaling for Qwen. Neither needs a new parallel mode or any cross-replica
communication: the replicas are independent processes.

What it does need is a router that keeps a conversation on the replica holding
its KV. The prefix cache is per ReplicaEngineCore, and its block hashes cover
the prompt at admission, so turn N's answer enters the cache as part of turn
N+1's prompt. A turn that lands on another replica pays a full prefill.

pypto-serving-router is a separate process that forwards request bytes verbatim
-- it never tokenizes, and needs no NPU, model or tokenizer. Conversations are
identified by an X-Session-Id header (or a session_id field in the body) and
the id is returned on every response, including streaming ones, where a header
is the only way to carry it without parsing and rewriting SSE.

Affinity is a preference, not an invariant. Prefix blocks are evictable, so a
hit is never guaranteed, and --affinity-slack re-routes a session rather than
queue it behind a saturated replica: the saving is one prefill, the wait is
unbounded. Session expiry drops the pin only -- blocks are keyed by content and
shared between conversations, so there is nothing per-session to evict and the
replica's own LRU reclaims them.

Closing the upstream stream when the relay generator ends is what makes a
replica see a client disconnect. That is serving's only cancellation path;
there is no abort route on the HTTP API, and an unclosed stream would keep
generating and pinning KV blocks after the client has gone.

The package must not import pypto_serving.serving or config.types, both of
which pull torch at import time, or the router could not run on a host without
the NPU stack. pypto_serving/__init__.py re-exports lazily (PEP 562) for the
same reason; its public API is unchanged.

Verified on hardware: two Qwen3-14B replicas on two hosts, sessions pinned
across turns and across the host boundary, streaming relayed intact over the
link, new conversations spread over both hosts, and a killed remote replica
taken out of rotation within one second with its sessions failing over to the
survivor.
… ids

Six findings from review, all in the router:

- /v1/models inherited the client default read=None, so a replica that accepted
  the connection and then sent nothing would hang the endpoint indefinitely.
  The health probe already bounded itself; this call now does too.
- The 503 raised when no replica is routable returned no X-Session-Id, breaking
  the documented contract that every response carries it. Clients use it for
  affinity and may retry with the same id.
- A body-supplied session_id was echoed into a response header unvalidated. A
  CR/LF value is rejected by the HTTP layer and a non-latin-1 value raises when
  the response is built, so a malformed id could fail an otherwise valid POST.
  Ids are now bounded and restricted to header-safe characters; an unusable one
  is replaced rather than refused, since it only decides routing.
- The session directory was an unbounded map keyed by client-supplied ids,
  reclaimed only by TTL. It is now capped and evicts least-recently-used pins,
  reclaiming expired entries first: losing a pin costs one prefill, unbounded
  growth costs the process.
- ReplicaSpec hardcoded http://, and request bodies and generated text cross
  that hop in the clear. The scheme is now per replica so a deployment whose
  replicas are not on a trusted network can terminate TLS in front of them.
  HTTPS is not forced for non-loopback replicas: that would break the intended
  on-cluster deployment, where the fabric is private and nothing terminates TLS.
- Documented argparse's exit status 2, which is returned before main() ever
  reads the replica file.

Not changed: httpx stays in pypto_serving/requirements.txt rather than moving to
[project].dependencies. pyproject declares dependencies = [] and every runtime
dependency including fastapi, uvicorn, pydantic and torch lives in that file;
AGENTS.md documents installing with --no-deps. Declaring httpx alone there would
make it the only declared dependency. Worth fixing repo-wide, not here.
The replica table was fixed at launch: adding capacity meant restarting the
router. This adds the other half -- start with N replicas and launch more into
declared capacity when they are wanted.

The config grows a `hosts` list beside `replicas`. A host declares an ssh
destination, a key path, and the devices the router may use there; each device
is one slot, and the sum of them is a hard ceiling. `replicas` keeps its old
meaning -- endpoints that already exist, which the router routes to and never
stops. Only what it launched, it stops.

Devices are declared rather than discovered. Plenty of deployments have no
scheduler to ask, and a wrong answer that over-subscribes a card is worse than
one the operator wrote down. For the same reason the broker command is a
configurable `launch_wrapper` rather than something built in: task-submit is
this cluster's, not everyone's.

A model load is minutes -- ~130s for Qwen3-14B with a warm kernel cache -- and
that shapes the rest:

- A slot is reserved synchronously, before anything is spawned. If two callers
  could be handed the same device while the first launch was still loading, a
  fleet would take a cluster's cards before the first replica answered.
- A launched replica is registered unroutable. ReplicaState.ready defaults True
  for statically configured replicas, which is right for them -- one that is
  still loading refuses the connection anyway -- but a replica we just started
  provably cannot serve, and the health poller is what promotes it.
- A launch is detached and never waited on, with its output going to a log on
  the machine that runs it. Waiting would block the router for the whole load,
  and --show-startup-logs is passed because without it that log is empty.
- A replica that never reports ready within --launch-timeout is stopped and its
  device released, so a failed launch cannot hold a card for the router's life.

Removal drains first: the replica leaves rotation, its pinned sessions are
released so they re-route on their next turn rather than waiting out the TTL,
and it is stopped once its in-flight requests finish or --drain-timeout
expires. Draining is router-side and needs no serving change, which is what
makes scale-in cheap: AsyncLLMEngine.stop is all-or-nothing.

Registry membership is now mutable. Appending was already safe -- both tiebreak
sites recompute the modulus from the live list -- but removal reindexes, since
leaving gaps aliases two replicas onto one tiebreak slot, unfairly and
silently.

On shutdown the router drains and stops what it launched. A crash runs no
hook, so those replicas keep serving; with --state-file the next start probes
them and adopts the ones that answer, which turns a restart into a round trip
rather than a model load per replica, and names any device still held.

/replicas starts processes on other machines, so --admin-token gates it and the
docs say plainly that there is no other authentication.

Two bugs the end-to-end test caught, both real rather than test-only: the
default stop command matched its own invocation, so `pkill -f` killed the shell
carrying the pattern instead of the replica (over ssh, that is the remote
shell); and the local transport opened its log without creating the directory,
which the ssh path did with mkdir -p.
A slot was one device, so the host pool could only express models whose
replica fits on a single card. For DeepSeek V4 that is wrong in a way the
config could not even state: eight cards are not eight replicas, they are one.

`devices_per_replica` (default 1) cuts a host's declared devices into groups of
that width, and a host's capacity becomes len(devices) // devices_per_replica.
An eight-card node therefore holds eight Qwen replicas or exactly one DeepSeek
V4. A slot is named and ported after its group's first device, so its identity
and its port are still derived rather than allocated.

The count is declared, not inferred. It is a property of the model and its
kernels -- 1 for Qwen3-14B, exactly 8 for DeepSeek V4, 16 for DSpark, where the
expert-parallel width is compiled in -- and deriving it would mean reading a
checkpoint on a machine the router has no reason to be able to see. A wrong
value is caught on the replica at startup, where the topology is validated and
the error names the count it wanted. A devices list that is not a whole
multiple is refused when the config is read: a leftover card is a typo or a
misread model, not a partial replica.

The launch command now passes --devices with the whole group rather than
--device with one id, and templates expand {devices} beside {device} so a
broker wrapper can be handed the group.

Checked against serving's own validator rather than asserted. For the real
W8A8 checkpoint at models/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-w8a8 the generated command line is
accepted as placement=overlapped, dp/ep/tp=8/8/1, replicas=1, group size=8 --
which is the one slot the config computes; a four-card variant is refused by
serving with its own message. For Qwen, --devices 2 resolves to the same ParallelConfig and
worker device ids as the old --device 2, and the four-card scale test on
hg-atlas-01 passes unchanged: one replica at startup, grown to four, a fifth
refused, traffic even across all four, a session pinned, one drained and its
slot reused, and nothing left running after shutdown.
