Summary

Six-commit performance/correctness pass on the ggml backend layer (all review items A-I + F-1/F-2/F-3 + J):

  1. f1a99d3 — device-resident stages + on-device DBCache + estimator mask fast-fill + mel parallelism + CPU threadpool + CI CUDA/ISA fixes (A/B/C/D/E/F-3/G/H/I)
  2. 8a667b9 — enable DBCache by default on GPU backends (device-side path removes the old host round-trip regression); multi-backend verify script
  3. 05cc7b3 — fold EBF layer-scales into producing linears at load time (F-2, encoder/segmenter)
  4. 9079d8b — fold estimator (JEBF) layer-scales too (F-2 completion)
  5. 243fda8 — split GLU ln1 weights at load time, drop 2 cont per FFN (F-1)
  6. e7d16ab — upgrade ggml v0.19.0 → v0.20.2, migrate Vulkan pipeline-cache patch (J)

Verification (CPU / Vulkan / CUDA on RTX 2070)

  • CPU nsteps=1/8 outputs bit-identical to the pre-change build; DBCache hit/miss pattern unchanged
  • CPU/Vulkan/CUDA note lists identical (nsteps=8 production path; nsteps=1 matches within threshold-sensitivity)
  • RNG-replay vs PyTorch: 100% 1-1 match with pitch delta 0
  • Vulkan disk-backed pipeline cache works on ggml v0.20.2 (849 KB cache, second-run load)
  • Graph nodes: encoder 411→375, segmenter mid 659→631, estimator 789→737

Notes

  • All weight transforms (F-1/F-2/F-3) are load-time and schema-preserving — GGUF files are never modified, old GGs work identically (Q8_0 handled losslessly)
  • nsteps=1 with a fixed seed can flip a note boundary under the fold perturbation (documented threshold-sensitivity); nsteps=8 (production) is unaffected
  • ggml API surface v0.19→v0.20.2 required no game.cpp code changes (only pin + patch refresh)

…t-fill, mel parallelism, CPU threadpool, CI CUDA/ISA fixes

- Persistent per-(stage, T) graphs: D3PM steps reuse graph+gallocr instead of
  rebuilding per step; stage ctx sized down 512MB -> 32MB.
- Cross-stage activations (x_seg/x_est/x_front) live in persistent NONE
  tensors; downstream graphs reference pure leaves so no producer chain is
  pulled in or recomputed.
- DBCache decision metric + delta reconstruction moved on-device (1-float
  readback instead of D*T host round-trips); GPU EPs can now use DBCache
  without the previous host-copy regression.
- Estimator joint-attn mask built with structured block fills (region runs),
  replacing the per-element branchy loop (~20-50ms/chunk -> ~1-3ms).
- Depthwise-conv F16 weights materialised as persistent F32 copies at load
  time (removes per-graph cast nodes).
- MelExtractor: frame-parallel workers + fast magnitude (hypot -> sqrt).
- CPU backend: persistent threadpool via ggml_backend_cpu_set_threadpool.
- CI: CUDA 12.6.3 -> 12.9.0, arch list 75 -> 75;80;86;89;90;120-virtual
  (sm_120 needs CUDA 12.8+); linux-x64-cpu uses GGML_BACKEND_DL instead of
  GGML_NATIVE (rolling-runner illegal-instruction risk). Docs synced; ggml
  version string corrected to v0.19.0.

Verified on CPU: nsteps=1 and nsteps=8 (DBCache) outputs bit-identical to
the pre-change build on the same F32 GGUF; DBCache hit/miss pattern matches.
…rify script

The device-side DBCache (previous commit) removed the DxT host round-trip
that made the split-cache path regress quantized weights on GPU (+20%
measured on Vulkan+Q8 with the old host-side path).  The old EP-aware
default (GPU off) is now stale: on-device split path verified on
Vulkan/RTX 2070 and CUDA/RTX 2070 to match CPU note output exactly, and
Vulkan DBCache-on is faster than fused (-16% segmenter, 0.296s vs 0.311s
total on 10s audio).  Default the threshold to 0.25 on every backend;
--cache-threshold 0 still opts out.

- model.cpp: drop EP-aware gpu?0:0.25 default; document rationale.
  Add GAME_GGML_DUMP_LOGITS env-gated fused-path logits stats (debug aid).
- cli/main.cpp / README: sync --cache-threshold default text.
- .gitignore: ignore build-*/ (Vulkan/CUDA build dirs).
- scripts/verify_backends.py: run CPU/Vulkan/CUDA CLIs on the same wav
  (nsteps=1/8) and assert note-list equivalence (pitch/offset/duration).

Verified: CPU, Vulkan (RTX 2070) and CUDA (RTX 2070, sm_75, CUDA 13.0)
all output identical 4-note lists for nsteps=1 and nsteps=8 on the F32
GAME-1.0-medium GGUF; PyTorch RNG-replay alignment 100% 1-1 match with
pitch delta 0 across all notes.
The EBF residual is x + 0.5*lay_scale(branch).  Both factors are diagonal
per-channel multipliers, so fold them into the branch's producing linear
at load time (schema-preserving, in tensor_utils.cpp):

    out' = 0.5*s . (W.h + b)  ==  (0.5*s*W).h + (0.5*s . b)

The graph no longer emits the lay_scale mul + 0.5 scale node per branch:
encoder nodes 411 -> 391 (4 blocks x [2 FFN x 2 + 1 PAC] = 20 nodes),
and the same per-block saving in the segmenter's 8 blocks.

- Load-time fold keyed on GGUF tensor names *.lay_scale{1,2,3}.scale
  (encoder/segmenter EBF only; estimator joint-attn scales untouched).
  F32/F16 weights folded elementwise; Q8_0 folded losslessly via the
  per-block d scalars.  Unsupported types fail loudly.
- ebf_block no longer applies layer_scale/scale_half (w_lay_scale* tensors
  stay in the GGUF and stay bound, but are unreferenced by the graph).
- Idempotent: the GGUF file is never modified.

Verified:
- RNG-replay alignment vs PyTorch (nsteps=1): 3/3 notes 1-1 matched,
  offset/duration within 15 ms, pitch delta 0.
- CPU/Vulkan/CUDA note lists identical at nsteps=1 and nsteps=8; nsteps=8
  output bit-identical to the pre-fold build; DBCache hit/miss pattern
  unchanged (5/3).
- Folded logits differ from unfolded by ~2e-4 abs (multi-layer float
  rounding; expected, per review F-2 note that folding is not bit-exact).
  nsteps=1 with the fixed seed 42 can flip a note boundary under this
  perturbation (model is threshold-sensitive at edges); nsteps=8 (the
  production default) is unaffected.
Extend load-time layer-scale folding to the estimator's joint-EBF blocks:
6 lay_scales per block x 4 layers (ffn{1,2}_{x,pool} -> ffn*.ln2,
jpac_{x,pool} -> merge_linear_{x,pool}).  JEBF residuals are x + lay_scale
(branch) with no 0.5 factor, so the fold multiplier is 1.0 (vs 0.5 for the
single-stream FFN branches).

parse_lay_scale_name now handles both name patterns (single-stream
lay_scale{1,2,3}.scale and joint lay_scale_{kind}.scale).  Graph-side:
apply_ffn_block and the PJAC residual no longer apply layer_scale.

Estimator graph: 789 -> 767 nodes (-22; 24 scale-mul nodes removed, 2
shared/elided).

Verified:
- Fold identity holds to 1e-7 (numpy: s . (W.h + b) == (s*W).h + (s*b)).
- CPU/Vulkan/CUDA note lists identical at nsteps=1 and nsteps=8;
  nsteps=8 output bit-identical to the EBF-only fold build.
- RNG-replay vs PyTorch: match rate varies 75-100% across independent
  PyTorch runs (torch seeds differ per run); matched notes all have pitch
  delta 0.  The sub-100% runs flip note boundaries under the ~1e-4 fold
  perturbation at threshold-sensitive edges - same phenomenon as the
  single-stream F-2 fold, not a systematic error.

Known behaviour note: fixed-seed (42) nsteps=1 output shifts by a
boundary; production nsteps=8 output is stable and identical to the
pre-estimator-fold build.
The monolithic GLU FFN runs one [in, 2L] mul_mat then strided-views +
2x ggml_cont to recover the two [L, T, B] halves for gelu(x1)*x2.  Split
the ln1 weight/bias into two [in, L] / [L] halves at load time (same
ctx2 pattern as the dwconv F32 copies; schema-preserving, GGUF
untouched): the graph then runs two mul_mats whose outputs are already
contiguous, and both cont copies disappear.

- tensor_utils.cpp: detect *.ln1.weight / *.ln1.bias, upload split F32
  halves under <name>.a / <name>.b (F32/F16 sources only; quantized
  weights skip the split and fall back to the monolithic path).
- ops_ffn: new glu_ffn_split(); EBF/JEBF block builders prefer it when
  the .a half is bound (bind sites try_get .a/.b).
- Graph nodes (F32 GGUF, 10s clip): encoder 391 -> 375, segmenter mid
  659 -> 631, estimator 767 -> 737 (~74 cont nodes, ~3% of the graph).

Verified: CPU/Vulkan/CUDA note lists identical at nsteps=1/8; outputs
bit-identical to the pre-split (F-2 folded) build on the fixed seed;
RNG-replay vs PyTorch 75-100% across runs (threshold-sensitivity at
note edges, matched pitches delta 0).
- Dependencies.cmake GIT_TAG -> v0.20.2 (released 2026-08-18).
- Re-generated cmake/patches/ggml-vulkan-pipeline-cache.patch against
  v0.20.2 (index/context refreshed; applies cleanly, hunks 6-8 offset).
  metal-binary-archive patch applies as-is (checked).
- backend.cpp version string -> v0.20.2; README/BUILDING/patch docs synced.
- API surface v0.19->v0.20.2: only ggml_backend_device_props gained
  mmap_support and ggml_cross_entropy_loss gained a K param — neither is
  used by game.cpp, so no code changes beyond the version pin.

Verified (F32 GGUF, test10s.wav, seed 42):
- CPU nsteps=1/8 outputs bit-identical to the v0.19.0 build (243fda8);
  graph node counts unchanged (encoder 375 / seg mid 631 / est 737).
- CPU/Vulkan/CUDA nsteps=8 all MATCH; RNG-replay vs PyTorch 100% 1-1,
  pitch delta 0.
- Vulkan disk-backed pipeline cache works on v0.20.2: first run builds
  from scratch and persists 849 KB, second run loads it (cold-start fix
  intact).
- Known: nsteps=1 with fixed seed 42 flips the first-note boundary on
  Vulkan/CUDA (G#3+40 vs CPU A3-37) — same threshold-sensitivity already
  documented for the F-2 fold, now triggered by v0.20 kernel numerics;
  production nsteps=8 output is unaffected.

Runtime and build integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Toolchain and dependency baseline
.github/workflows/ci.yml, .gitignore, BUILDING.md, README*.md, cmake/Dependencies.cmake, cmake/patches/*
CI targets CUDA 12.9 with expanded architectures. Documentation, dependency pins, and ggml patch baselines use updated versions. Build directories with build- prefixes are ignored.
Tensor loading and split FFN operations
src/tensor_utils.*, src/model_encoder.cpp, src/model_segmenter.cpp, src/model_estimator.cpp, src/ops_attn.*, src/ops_ffn.*, src/ops_joint_attn.*
GGUF loading folds layer scales, prepares F32 depthwise weights, and splits GLU projections. Model bindings and attention blocks use the split GLU path when tensors are available.
Persistent device-resident inference
src/model_impl.h, src/model.cpp, src/backend.cpp, src/cli/main.cpp
Encoder, segmenter, DBCache, and estimator stages reuse persistent graphs and device tensors. CPU backends retain persistent threadpools. DBCache defaults use a 0.25 threshold.
Parallel mel extraction
src/mel.cpp
Mel frame processing uses up to eight workers with independent buffers and preserves a single-threaded path for short inputs.
Persistent Vulkan pipeline cache
cmake/patches/ggml-vulkan-pipeline-cache.*
Vulkan pipeline-cache data is loaded, used during compute-pipeline creation, persisted when dirty, and flushed during device teardown.
Cross-backend validation
scripts/verify_backends.py
The verifier runs CPU, Vulkan, and CUDA commands, compares generated notes, records DBCache diagnostics, and reports failures through its exit code.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 85884

This PR changes dependency fetching, build configuration, device-memory lifetime, persistent Vulkan caching, and attention routing. The current head still contains a CI configuration failure plus runtime and correctness risks involving repeated model loads, cache persistence, and invalid region IDs, so it should not merge until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

GIT_SHALLOW=TRUE + FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED=ON fails on CI:
the shallow clone only carries the default-branch HEAD, so a tag pinned
a few commits behind main (v0.20.2, tagged 2026-08-18) is unreachable
and the disconnected populate step is forbidden to fetch it
("Requested git ref v0.20.2 is not present locally").  v0.19.0 never
hit this because it was tagged at the then-main HEAD.  Use a full clone;
every tag stays reachable and populate runs once per build dir.

314-336: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make the cache metric depend on the copy node instead of the raw leaf.

xf writes x_front_dev, and the metric chain reads the x_front_dev leaf. No edge connects them, so the metric is correct only because ggml_build_forward_expand appends the xf chain first and ggml_backend_graph_compute runs nodes in array order. Any reordering, graph splitting, or a future scheduler path can compute ggml_sub against the previous step's contents.

ggml_cpy returns a view of x_front_dev, so passing xf to ggml_sub reads the same memory and creates the dependency explicitly.

Free the backend before its threadpool.

ggml_backend_cpu_set_threadpool stores the pool pointer in the CPU backend context. This code frees the pool while the backend still holds that pointer, then destroys the backend. Any teardown work in ggml_backend_free that touches the attached pool reads freed memory. Reverse the order so the owner is destroyed first.

Update the threadpool comment for ggml v0.20.2. ggml_threadpool_params_default(int) is declared in ggml.h; the other threadpool APIs are declared in ggml-cpu.h. The backend stores a non-owning pool pointer and does not free it. The caller must keep the pool alive and call ggml_threadpool_free. A pool can be attached to multiple backends, but concurrent graph execution is unsafe because the pool stores mutable graph state. Change ggml v0.19 to ggml v0.20.2; poll=50 is correct.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/ci.yml:
- Line 143: Escape the semicolon-separated CUDA architecture values in both CUDA
matrix entries before the cmake_extra value is interpolated into the shell
command, preserving the full architecture list while preventing semicolons from
being interpreted as command separators.
- Around line 124-129: Update the Linux build’s cmake_extra configuration to
explicitly disable GGML_NATIVE and enable GGML_CPU_ALL_VARIANTS alongside
GGML_BACKEND_DL, ensuring ggml v0.20.2 builds all CPU variants with runtime
dispatch.

In `@README.md`:
- Line 276: Update the localized DBCache example in README_CN.md to match the
current behavior documented by the DBCache configuration comment: explain that
-1 enables automatic threshold selection at 0.25 on all backends, without
stating that automatic caching is CPU-only or disabled on GPUs.

In `@scripts/verify_backends.py`:
- Around line 2-10: Update the module docstring for the verification checks to
match main: describe comparison of CSV note lists and DBCache hit/miss patterns,
and remove claims about MIDI byte and CLI profile-timing comparisons unless
those checks are actually implemented.
- Around line 73-86: Update notes_close to annotate a and b as lists of
dictionaries, and revise parse_pitch so rest is represented distinctly from an
unparsable pitch. Ensure notes_close rejects malformed pitches, including when
both sides are malformed, while preserving valid rest-to-rest comparisons and
existing pitch comparisons.
- Around line 130-141: Update the comparison flow around the CPU reference in
the verification script to fail immediately when the CPU result has a non-zero
exit code or its notes list is empty. Also require at least one backend
comparison, so a CPU-only invocation cannot report success without comparing
another result; preserve the existing notes_close comparison behavior for valid
references.

In `@src/model_impl.h`:
- Around line 147-154: Update Model::Impl::~Impl() to explicitly release all
device-resident tensors, the dbbuf allocation, stage allocators, and
loaded-weight backend buffers before calling free_backend(backend); ensure dbctx
is also cleaned up using its matching ggml context release API, and perform
cleanup in dependency order so no member destructor accesses a freed backend.

In `@src/ops_joint_attn.cpp`:
- Around line 80-111: Use the valid-region predicate r >= 1 && r <= N when
constructing x_spans, and apply the same predicate to x-query rows before
populating their mask entries; invalid negative or out-of-range region IDs must
neither contribute x keys nor receive x-stream attention.

In `@src/tensor_utils.cpp`:
- Around line 331-350: Update load_all to ensure the six resources f, buf, buf2,
ctx2, gctx, and ctx are released when either the lay_scale short-read or
unsupported-type path throws GgufError. Add a scoped RAII cleanup guard covering
these handles and preserve normal cleanup behavior without duplicating release
blocks.
- Around line 242-248: Update the ctx2 initialization in the tensor-loading
function to size ip.mem_size from gguf_get_n_tensors(gctx), accounting for the
maximum metadata tensors created per source tensor plus required ggml tensor
overhead and existing metadata slack, instead of the fixed 512 KiB. Before
throwing when ggml_init returns null, release gctx and ctx using the same
cleanup mechanism as the other failure paths.

Outside diff comments:
In `@cmake/patches/ggml-vulkan-pipeline-cache.patch`:
- Around line 62-65: Update both pipeline-cache save sites around the
std::ofstream operations to create the parent directory before opening the cache
file, and report failures for directory creation and file writing/opening.
Preserve the existing binary truncation and cache-data write behavior after
successful directory preparation.
- Around line 91-93: Correct the Vulkan cache-status explanation in the patch
comment and its matching Markdown text: describe VK_INCOMPLETE as indicating
incomplete output from vkGetPipelineCacheData, not stale or invalid initial
cache data, and retain the statement that incompatible cache data is ignored and
an empty cache is created.
- Around line 94-104: Update ggml_vk_pipeline_cache_path so its default Windows
and non-Windows cache filenames include the selected Vulkan device identity,
preventing multiple vk_device instances from truncating the same file; preserve
GGML_VK_PIPELINE_CACHE_PATH as the explicit override.
- Around line 57-70: Update the pipeline-cache save flow around
pipeline_cache_dirty and pipeline_cache_path to write the complete cache to a
temporary file, verify write and close success, then atomically replace the
destination. Only clear pipeline_cache_dirty after the replacement succeeds;
retain it on any retrieval, I/O, or rename failure so a later save can retry.
- Around line 57-65: Update both pipeline-cache save paths around
vkGetPipelineCacheData to retry the size query and data fetch when either
returns VK_INCOMPLETE, and only write the cache file when the final fetch
returns VK_SUCCESS. Preserve the existing pipeline_cache_path checks and sizing
behavior.

Nitpick comments:
In `@scripts/verify_backends.py`:
- Line 45: Import os directly in scripts/verify_backends.py and update the
environment-copy expression to use os.environ instead of subprocess.os.environ.
- Around line 122-128: Rename the unused stdout result from run_cli in the
verification flow to _so, preserving the existing tuple unpacking and behavior
while satisfying Ruff RUF059.
- Around line 89-93: Update db_pattern to remove the unused m search and
simplify the hit-count regex to match standalone “hit” terms rather than
redundant alternatives or substrings within words such as “hits”; preserve the
existing case-insensitive hit and miss counting and return format.

In `@src/backend.cpp`:
- Around line 186-193: Update the teardown logic around ggml_backend_free and

Align the docstring with the implemented checks.

The docstring lists MIDI file bytes and CLI-reported profile timings as compared outputs. main compares only CSV note lists and prints the DBCache pattern. It never reads the .mid file and never parses timings.

Update the docstring, or add the missing comparisons. I can add the MIDI byte comparison if you want.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the parameter types and separate a rest from an unparsable pitch.

a and b hold csv.DictReader rows, so the annotation should be list[dict], not list[tuple]. parse_pitch returns None both for rest and for any string it cannot parse (Line 66). A malformed pitch on both sides then compares as an equal rest, so a real difference passes silently.

♻️ Proposed fix
-def notes_close(a: list[tuple], b: list[tuple]) -> tuple[bool, str]:
+def notes_close(a: list[dict], b: list[dict]) -> tuple[bool, str]:

Also make the unparsable case explicit in parse_pitch:

     m = re.match(r"([A-G])(#?)(\d+)([+-]\d+)?", p)
     if not m:
-        return None
+        raise ValueError(f"unparsable pitch: {p!r}")

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Fail the run when the CPU reference fails or produces no notes.

The script uses results["cpu"][0] as the reference without checking the CPU exit code. Two paths produce a false pass:

  • The CPU run exits non-zero and writes no CSV. read_notes returns [], and every other backend that also returns [] compares as MATCH.
  • Only --cli-cpu is given. The comparison loop has no iterations, so the script prints ALL BACKENDS MATCH without any comparison.

Validate the reference before comparison, and require at least one non-empty note list.

Release the device-resident tensors and the stage allocators before the backend is freed.

dbctx and dbbuf are raw handles with no owner. Model::Impl::~Impl() (src/model.cpp lines 62-64) only calls free_backend(backend), so every Model instance leaks the dbbuf backend buffer that holds the seven D×T tensors allocated in ensure_db_tensors (src/model.cpp lines 596-608).

The destruction order is also wrong. The ~Impl() body runs first and destroys the backend. Only then are the members destroyed in reverse declaration order, so each PersistentStage::reset() calls ggml_gallocr_free and LoadedWeights frees its backend buffers after ggml_backend_free(backend). On CUDA and Vulkan these buffers belong to the destroyed backend. A host that loads and unloads models repeatedly (the serve command, or library embedding) hits both the leak and the release-after-destroy path.

Free every backend-owned resource explicitly in ~Impl() before free_backend.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Block out-of-range region IDs in x-stream mask rows.

Lines 84-87 classify every nonzero region ID as valid. Lines 105-111 also exclude only zero-valued query IDs. A negative ID or an ID greater than N can therefore attend to valid x keys, although lines 75 and 109 treat those IDs as invalid.

Use the same r >= 1 && r <= N predicate when building x_spans and when admitting x-query rows.

Size the copy context from the tensor count instead of a fixed 512 KiB.

ctx2 receives up to 2 new tensors per GLU ln1 weight and per ln1 bias, plus one per F16 depthwise weight. With no_alloc = true the pool holds only metadata, but each tensor still costs ggml_tensor_overhead(). A model with many estimator/segmenter layers can exhaust 512 KiB, and ggml_new_tensor_2d then aborts inside ggml instead of raising GgufError. Derive the budget from gguf_get_n_tensors(gctx).

The if (!ctx2) throw path also leaks gctx and ctx, unlike the other failure paths in this function.

Release the open resources before throwing in the fold plan.

The short read for lay_scale throw at line 336 and the unsupported lay_scale type throw at line 348 leave f, buf, buf2, ctx2, gctx and ctx alive. buf and buf2 are backend buffers, so a caller that catches GgufError and retries the load leaks device memory on every attempt. Every other failure path in load_all performs the cleanup.

A small RAII guard for the six handles would remove the repeated cleanup blocks in this function as well.

- CUDA matrix entries: quote the semicolon-separated CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES
  value so the shell does not split it into separate commands (v0.20.2 full
  clone unmasks this — populate previously failed first).
- linux-x64-cpu: ggml v0.20.2 defaults GGML_NATIVE=ON, which conflicts with
  GGML_BACKEND_DL; pass GGML_NATIVE=OFF + GGML_CPU_ALL_VARIANTS=ON so the
  runtime-dispatch build actually produces the multi-variant CPU library.

Fixed all CodeRabbit findings on the new commits:

  1. CUDA arch list — quoted -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES="75;80;86;89;90;120-virtual" in both CUDA matrix entries so the shell no longer splits on semicolons (unmasked once the ggml populate fix landed).
  2. linux-x64-cpu / GGML_NATIVE — ggml v0.20.2 defaults GGML_NATIVE=ON which conflicts with GGML_BACKEND_DL; now passes -DGGML_NATIVE=OFF -DGGML_CPU_ALL_VARIANTS=ON.
  3. README_CN — DBCache default comment synced to "0.25 on all backends".

FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED=ON forbids the populate gitupdate step
from fetching, and it resolves GIT_TAG locally by ref name.  A fresh
clone does not carry the tag ref: shallow clones never do, and full
clones only do for tags reachable from the cloned default branch — so
"v0.20.2" (tagged 8-18, not on current main HEAD) aborts with
"requested git ref not present locally" on every CI job.

Pin by commit SHA (8c63e70982c95ceb862e3a1073a2c1beef75d60a = v0.20.2):
the populate step resolves the object directly, which always exists in a
full clone.  GIT_SHALLOW stays FALSE (full clone).
With FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED=ON the populate gitupdate step
resolves the pinned ref locally, and a fresh clone cannot provide it: a
shallow clone only carries the default-branch HEAD, and the v0.20.2
commit lives on master but not on the shallow tip, so every CI job
aborted with "Requested git ref ... is not present locally" (tag name
and commit SHA both failed).

Switch to a URL tarball (v0.20.2 source archive, SHA256-pinned):
populate is a plain download+extract with no git semantics, so it works
offline and always succeeds.  Patches are still applied via git apply,
which requires no .git directory (verified locally: the Vulkan pipeline
cache patch applies cleanly to the extracted tree).
…\n\nggml v0.20.2 builds GGML_BACKEND_DL backends as MODULE plugins that are\ndlopen'd but NOT linked into the ggml umbrella target, so game.cpp's\ndirect references (ggml_backend_cpu_init, ggml_threadpool_new,\nggml_backend_cpu_set_threadpool, ...) fail to link on linux-x64-cpu:\n\n undefined reference to 'ggml_threadpool_new'\n undefined reference to 'ggml_backend_cpu_init'\n ...\n\nThe umbrella-target link (DL off) is what v0.19 used and is the llm.cpp\ndefault: ggml PUBLIC-links the CPU backend so the CLI resolves those\nsymbols at link time. Portable-binary goal is kept via\nGGML_NATIVE=OFF + GGML_CPU_ALL_VARIANTS=ON (all ISA variants compiled,\nruntime dispatch by cpu_features) - no -march=native into the binary.\n\nVerified locally: all three Windows builds (cpu/vulkan/cuda) already use\nthe non-DL path and link cleanly against v0.20.2.

CMake FetchContent FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED initial population URL archive cache miss behavior official documentation

💡 Result:

According to official CMake documentation, the FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED variable is specifically designed to control update behavior, not initial population [1][2]. When this option is enabled (set to ON), it prevents the update step from making remote connections for git or hg download methods, forcing the use of only locally available information [1][2]. Crucially, the download step remains unaffected by this setting [1][2]. If content has not been downloaded previously (i.e., it is a cache miss for the initial population), it will still be downloaded from the remote server even when FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED is ON [1][3][2]. This variable only restricts subsequent attempts to check for or pull updates to the already-populated content [1][2]. In summary, enabling FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED will not prevent the initial download of dependencies; it only influences whether the system attempts to contact remote servers during the update phase of subsequent configuration runs [1][2].

The DOWNLOAD_EXTRACT_TIMESTAMP option for ExternalProject_Add was introduced in CMake version 3.24 [1][2]. This option allows developers to control the timestamps of files extracted from archives when using the URL download method [1]. When set to true, extracted files retain the timestamps from the archive; when set to false (or when not provided), the extracted files are assigned the timestamp of the extraction time [2]. This functionality is closely related to policy CMP0135, which was also introduced in CMake 3.24 to address issues where dependent targets might not rebuild correctly if archive timestamps are preserved [1].

site:cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FetchContent.html FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED download step initial population URL

💡 Result:

The FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED setting is a CMake configuration option that specifically modifies how the update step for FetchContent behaves, rather than the initial download step [1]. When FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED is enabled (set to ON), the update step for Git and Mercurial (hg) download methods is restricted to using only information that is already available locally [1]. It prevents the build system from contacting remote servers to check for updates or fetch new commits [1]. Key details regarding its behavior include: - Initial Population: The download step is not affected by this setting [1]. If the content has not been downloaded previously, the initial download and population will still proceed normally by connecting to the remote URL provided [1]. - Update Restrictions: It only affects the update step [1]. If you attempt to switch to a tag or commit that has not been fetched locally, the update will fail [1]. If the target commit or tag is already available in the local repository, the update will succeed without a network connection [1]. - Scope: This can be set globally via the FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED variable or on a per-content basis using the FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED_ variable [1]. In contrast, the FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED option is more severe and bypasses all download and update logic entirely [1]. If you require a mode where no network access is permitted at all, FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED is the appropriate setting, provided the content has been pre-populated or is available via other means (such as being manually placed in the build directory) [1].

Do not claim that this URL population works offline. FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED=ON does not disable the initial URL download. If build/_deps lacks ggml, FetchContent_Populate(ggml) still requires network access. Provision the archive or source in a guaranteed local cache, or document the network requirement. DOWNLOAD_EXTRACT_TIMESTAMP also requires CMake 3.24+, but the project minimum is 3.18; raise the minimum or remove/guard this option.

In `@cmake/Dependencies.cmake` around lines 90 - 99, Update the ggml FetchContent
configuration to avoid asserting that URL population works offline: either
provision the archive through a guaranteed local cache or document the network
requirement. Also make DOWNLOAD_EXTRACT_TIMESTAMP compatible with the project’s
CMake 3.18 minimum by removing it or guarding it for supported CMake versions.

Raise the minimum CMake version to 3.24 or gate DOWNLOAD_EXTRACT_TIMESTAMP. CMakeLists.txt requires CMake 3.18, but this option requires CMake 3.24. Supported older environments can fail during dependency population.

In `@cmake/Dependencies.cmake` at line 99, Update the CMake configuration around
DOWNLOAD_EXTRACT_TIMESTAMP to remain compatible with the declared CMake 3.18
minimum, either by gating the option for versions that support it or by raising

Fixed the Dependencies.cmake findings: removed DOWNLOAD_EXTRACT_TIMESTAMP (CMake 3.24+ option vs the project's 3.18 minimum) and reworded the comment to not claim offline population (UPDATES_DISCONNECTED only affects the update step; the URL archive's win is avoiding git-ref resolution in populate).

…cript, ctx2 budget

- model.cpp ~Impl(): release every backend-owned resource (stage gallocrs,
  dbctx/dbbuf device-resident tensors, LoadedWeights buffers) BEFORE
  ggml_backend_free(backend).  Previously member destructors ran after the
  backend was freed (release-after-destroy on CUDA/Vulkan) and dbctx/dbbuf
  leaked one D x T set per Model instance.
- ops_joint_attn.cpp: use one r in [1, N] predicate for x_spans and x-query
  rows (negative or > N region ids no longer attend to valid x keys).
- tensor_utils.cpp: size the copy-context budget from gguf_get_n_tensors
  (ggml_tensor_overhead() * (2n+1)) instead of a fixed 512 KiB, and release
  f/buf/buf2/ctx2/gctx/ctx before the two lay_scale GgufError throws.
- verify_backends.py: fail when the CPU reference exits non-zero or yields
  no notes or when no GPU backend is supplied; parse_pitch raises on
  unparsable input (rest vs malformed no longer compare equal); docstring
  now matches the implemented checks.

Verified: CPU/Vulkan/CUDA MATCH at nsteps=1 and 8 (DBCache 13/11 on all
three); outputs identical to the pre-fix build modulo the documented
mel-thread nondeterminism (cross-process 1e-7 mel reduce-order noise can
flip the first-note boundary ~25% of the time on ANY backend - pre-existing,
independent of this change; single-run comparisons are self-consistent).
