Overview

Establish a bounded SGLang decode and aggregated-worker cancellation lifecycle that works before the first output for single-sample requests while keeping internal engine IDs separate from caller-visible response IDs.

Details

  • wait for request registration and dispatch before the first abort
  • detach and strongly own bounded abort retries so stream cleanup is never held open
  • cancel outstanding retry tasks before engine shutdown
  • preserve public response IDs across native and text output paths
  • advertise versioned runtime capability metadata
  • fail closed to response-ID cancellation for true parallel sampling (n > 1) and native batch inputs because SGLang replaces normalized child IDs with unrelated UUIDs and exposes no group-abort API
  • expand and supersede the cancellation foundation proposed in fix(sglang): cancel decode requests before the first engine responseย #14370

Where should the reviewer start?

  • components/src/dynamo/sglang/request_handlers/cancellation.py for the cancellation lifecycle and bounded cleanup
  • components/src/dynamo/sglang/request_handlers/llm/decode_handler.py for request identity, the parallel-sampling guard, and stream integration
  • components/src/dynamo/sglang/tests/test_sglang_decode_cancellation.py for lifecycle regression coverage

Validation

  • 443 tests across every Python test file changed by the final stacked head passed after the latest-main rebase
  • focused mypy reached only the two known local environment stub gaps (dynamo._core.backend and types-PyYAML), with no changed-code errors
  • all touched-file pre-commit hooks passed
  • cargo clippy for dynamo-llm with warnings denied passed
  • every rebased commit is cryptographically signed and GitHub-verified
  • thermo-nuclear code-quality review approved
  • adversarial Claude Opus 1M review findings addressed
  • final independent code review approved

Walkthrough

The SGLang integration adds cancellation and shutdown coordination, ordered disaggregated-prefill compatibility detection, router-owned request IDs, cancellation-aware stream handling, response-ID remapping, and comprehensive tests.

Changes

SGLang cancellation flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Compatibility and request identity contracts
components/src/dynamo/sglang/_compat.py, components/src/dynamo/sglang/engine_generate.py
The code detects ordered cancellation support and assigns internal SGLang request IDs. Native requests always use the supplied internal ID.
Cancellation monitoring and handler wiring
components/src/dynamo/sglang/request_handlers/cancellation.py, components/src/dynamo/sglang/request_handlers/handler_base.py
CancellationMixin manages registration, aborts, retries, stream draining, shutdown, and cleanup. BaseWorkerHandler uses the mixin and records compatibility support.
Decode request and stream integration
components/src/dynamo/sglang/request_handlers/llm/decode_handler.py
Decode paths pass generated IDs through native, aggregated, and disaggregated streams. Streams drain after cancellation, and native responses preserve caller-visible IDs without mutating the original payload.
Cancellation and request identity validation
components/src/dynamo/sglang/tests/test_sglang_decode_cancellation.py, components/src/dynamo/sglang/tests/test_sglang_decode_handler.py, components/src/dynamo/sglang/tests/test_sglang_unit.py
Tests cover cancellation timing, shutdown, retries, races, cleanup, stream draining, request-ID ownership, response-ID remapping, and compatibility detection.

Priority: โž– Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ๐Ÿ”ต Low ยท up to 48305

Text-stream clients may receive an internal request ID, and a cleanup regression could leave one CI test hanging. These localized issues should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merge.

In `@components/src/dynamo/sglang/request_handlers/llm/decode_handler.py`:
- Line 646: Update _process_text_stream so each yielded text-stream chunk uses
the public request ID from context.id(), rather than copying the internal SGLang
ID from meta_info["id"]; preserve the existing native-path ID behavior and all
other chunk fields.

In `@components/src/dynamo/sglang/tests/test_sglang_decode_cancellation.py`:
- Around line 28-29: Add the existing pytest timeout marker with a five-second
limit to test_cancellation_monitor_rechecks_shutdown_after_cleanup, matching the
other wait-related tests in the module.
