Reduce redundant TMR WAIT edges with bounded bitmap - #2009
Conversation
- Publish a frozen 64-bit WAIT reachability closure per task on both architectures, removing redundant readiness edges inside the window. - Preserve retention and pin-release accounting, and keep out-of-window edges conservatively. - Cover spill fanin, sequence wrap, slot reuse, cross-ring paths, and exhaustive small DAGs; extend the deps.json coverage simulator. - Document Qwen and DeepSeek-V4 coverage and 10-round onboard A/B.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe runtime now performs bounded BL=64 transitive reduction of WAIT dependencies using frozen per-slot ancestor bitmaps. It separates readiness fanin from total fanin, preserves RETAIN and pin semantics, adds an offline simulator, and introduces runtime and simulator tests. ChangesWAIT-edge reduction
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR reduces redundant WAIT edges while preserving retention accounting, but the accompanying simulator can misclassify mixed WAIT/RETAIN edges and produce incorrect reduction estimates; related documentation and test assertions also need small follow-up fixes. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness of these bounded issues. Poem

Describe the runtime payload change precisely.
The reduction does not change deps.json, but it changes more than readiness enforcement. It removes redundant WAIT-only entries and demotes redundant WAIT|RETAIN entries to RETAIN-only. Update this sentence to state that retention and pin-release accounting remain preserved.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Accumulate RETAIN-only records before filtering the WAIT graph.
Line 104 skips a RETAIN-only record before pair_flags receives its flag. If another record for the same pair has wait, the simulator classifies a WAIT|RETAIN pair as WAIT-only. This makes demote_to_retain, pure_drop, and resource estimates incorrect.
Proposed fix
pred, succ = edge["pred"], edge["succ"]
flags = _edge_flags(edge)
- if "wait" not in flags:
- continue
pair = (pred, succ)
- # A pair that is wait in any record is wait overall (OR-accumulate).
pair_flags.setdefault(pair, set()).update(flags)

Correct the RETAIN-only edge description.
These lines state that reduction creates DEP_RETAIN-only edges. The following wiring step still calls RETAIN-only edges hypothetical. Update that text in both guides.

The PR objective requires WAIT | RETAIN edges to become RETAIN-only when WAIT is redundant.

The implementation intentionally uses BL64: it is one native word and keeps
the default side storage at 1 MiB. Wider windows remain measurable through
the simulator without adding multiword work to the submit path.

DeepSeek-V4's distributed rows use the maximum rank time per round before
averaging. Raw scheduler times are noisy, so the conclusion is limited to
