fix(tests): reuse real torch across collector test modules

[git-jxj]

Overview:

On machines with PyTorch installed, collecting the collector tests after the provenance tests imports PyTorch repeatedly while borrowing it from a mocked sys.modules entry. The second import fails with Only a single TORCH_LIBRARY can be used to register the namespace triton.

Cache the real module in one shared test helper and restore an existing caller module entry after each borrow. When PyTorch was not previously imported, retain the ordinary import behavior so subsequent plain imports reuse its native registrations.

Details:

• Share the borrow context across the three tensor-dependent collector test modules, including DSV4's lazy imports during test execution.
• Preserve the mock used by collect.py and its fork-worker tests.
• Register the routing test's dynamically loaded helper module before executing it. Once the PyTorch collection error is removed, its dataclass annotations need the module in sys.modules on Python 3.13.
• Exercise repeated tensor operations, mock restoration after exceptions, and an existing real module.

Validation on Linux, Python 3.13.13, PyTorch 2.13.0+cpu:

• Baseline: provenance followed by the three tensor test modules fails with two TORCH_LIBRARY collection errors.
• Fixed: the three modules, provenance writer, parallel-run fork-worker tests, and new helper tests pass together: 301 passed.
• Fresh-process check confirms ordinary import after the first borrow works and three successive mock swaps reuse the real module.
• Applicable Ruff and Ruff-format pre-commit hooks pass. The all-hook launcher encountered an unrelated existing system Node/npm incompatibility while initializing ESLint; the changed files are Python only.
• Full collector collection remains blocked by eight missing aiconfigurator_core._aiconfigurator_core extension imports. The unmodified baseline has those same eight errors plus the two PyTorch errors fixed here. Tests were run with --confcutdir=tests/unit/collector and local source paths to avoid the root CLI fixture's dependency on that unbuilt extension.

This addresses the PyTorch import collision in #1422 and verifies the affected fork-worker combination on Linux. It does not change the independent GLM checkpoint expectations mentioned there; macOS deadlock behavior was not tested.

Review follow-up and CI baseline:

The first-import behavior is intentional: an originally absent torch entry remains registered, while an existing entry (including the collector mock) is restored. A fresh-process check with real PyTorch reproduces the native TORCH_LIBRARY error if the entry is removed before a subsequent ordinary import. The helper now documents this distinction explicitly, and the regression checks ordinary imports after borrowing. The related combination still passes all 301 tests, and Ruff/format pass.

The initial PR's Rust/Python parity job has the same two golden-energy failures, including identical actual values, as the unmodified main job at this PR's base: 2 failed, 62 passed. These tests execute separately from the modified collector tests. The initial PR's unit job likewise has the same single test_power_columns_satisfy_energy_model_input_contract failure as the baseline unit job: both have 2750 passing tests (14 skips on the PR, 12 on the baseline). This PR does not modify those data or energy-model expectations.

Where should the reviewer start?

tests/unit/collector/_real_torch.py, then the three migrated consumers.

Related Issues:

• Relates to collector unit tests on torch-equipped machines: TORCH_LIBRARY re-registration aborts collection + two masked issues #1422 (part 1; Linux validation of part 2).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Improved test reliability for scenarios requiring the native Torch module.
  • Tests now preserve and restore the prior Torch environment, including when Torch was absent, mocked, or already loaded.
  • Expanded coverage to verify cleanup after repeated usage and ensure temporary test setup does not affect subsequent tests.
  • Simplified setup across collector and routing test suites while retaining appropriate handling for environments where Torch is unavailable.

Walkthrough

Changes

The tests now share a real_torch() context manager. It restores an existing torch entry and removes the borrowed module when no entry existed. Collector tests use the context manager instead of manual module manipulation.

Native Torch test isolation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Real Torch context manager and coverage tests/unit/collector/_real_torch.py, tests/unit/collector/test_real_torch.py	Tracks whether torch existed before borrowing. Restores existing entries and removes borrowed entries when needed. Tests cover repeated, exceptional, mocked, absent, and real-module states.
Collector test migration tests/unit/collector/test_dsv4_megamoe_workload.py, tests/unit/collector/test_helper_moe_distribution.py	Uses real_torch() for collector imports and test execution instead of manual module handling.
Routing test migration tests/unit/collector/test_sglang_moe_ep_routing.py	Uses real_torch() for helper imports and fixture-level real Torch injection.

[git-jxj]

Rechecked the failing CI on current head a97c69677af2 against the latest completed main Build and Test run, 34306677905 at f254959eb89e. The unit failure has exactly the same 17 assertion lines for invalid power_limit values in 15 B200/TRTLLM data files. The parity failure has the same four assertion lines for the two golden-energy mismatches (443.84428875568517 and 1241.060314309411). No new failure signature appears in this PR. Could a maintainer confirm the upstream data/golden repair path and rerun these checks once that baseline is repaired?
