Load rank files with weights_only=True and document the shared-filesystem requirement.

Rank 0 reads every rank{r}.pt from --out. Each rank writes its own file. On a multi-node srun job without a shared --out, rank 0 cannot see the other nodes' files and fails with FileNotFoundError.

The files are plain dicts of tensors. torch.load can use weights_only=True. This avoids pickle execution, and the static analysis tool flags the call. The torch>=2.4.1 floor does not default to weights_only=True until 2.6.

Also state in the docstring that --out must be on a shared filesystem. The script reads MASTER_ADDR at Line 49, and SLURM does not set it, so the docstring should list it as a required variable.

-        ranks = [torch.load(args.out / f"rank{r}.pt") for r in range(world)]
+        ranks = [torch.load(args.out / f"rank{r}.pt", weights_only=True) for r in range(world)]

Review comments at @docs/operators/h3-integration.md:
- Line 39: Update the transition-test description in the H3 integration
documentation to say the scheduler comparison runs only when VERL_OMNI_PATH
points to a verl-omni checkout and is skipped otherwise; do not describe the
scheduler as importable.

Review comments at
@rl_engine/backends/cuda/model_specific/minimax_h3/parallel.py:
- Line 338: Update _SeqLinear forward and backward to handle zero-row local
shards without calling g.gemm on empty operands; in backward, still execute both
gather_packed calls so every rank participates in the collectives. Apply the
same empty-row handling to column_parallel_linear and row_parallel_linear,
preserving their existing behavior for non-empty shards.

Review comments at @rl_engine/distributed/algorithms/hierarchical.py:
- Around line 68-77: Update the `dist.new_group` calls that construct
`local_groups` and `cross_groups` to use local synchronization, so ranks can
create groups from their TP subgroup without requiring identical calls from
every world rank. Preserve the existing group rank lists and creation order.

Review comments at @rl_engine/integrations/engines/rollout/vllm/h3_omni.py:
- Around line 78-80: Restrict projection selection before the weight checks by
matching module names only under the documented `blocks` and
`token_refiner.blocks` projection paths. Keep the `LINEAR_NAMES` leaf-name and
weight validation for matching paths so unrelated weighted modules with the same
projection names are neither patched nor rejected for dtype.
- Around line 83-88: Update the strict validation in the H3 rollout installation
flow so every eligible projection is checked for CUDA BF16 weights before any
forward is patched, or restore all earlier forwards if validation raises. Ensure
a failed strict installation leaves no projections modified and the caller does
not need a handle to clean up.
- Around line 38-40: Update the restoration logic that iterates over
self._restore to preserve each module’s pre-installation instance-level forward
state: record whether the module had its own forward attribute and its original
value when installing the override, then restore that value on removal or delete
the instance attribute only if none originally existed.

Review comments at @rl_engine/models/minimax_h3/checkpoint_mapper.py:
- Around line 158-160: Update native_to_diffusers to accept only the supported
weight and bias kinds before writing a mapped tensor; reject or skip unsupported
kinds such as running_mean, matching the forward mapper’s behavior.
- Line 134: Update diffusers_to_native to serialize the fused attn.qkv_proj
tensor using qkv_to_grouped, and update native_to_diffusers to apply
grouped_qkv_to_qkv before split_qkv. Preserve the native loader’s per-head [Q,
K, V] serialized layout and ensure the round trip tests this layout rather than
assuming both directions use contiguous [Q; K; V].

Review comments at @rl_engine/models/minimax_h3/runtime.py:
- Around line 207-215: Validate in the prev_sample is None branch that
sample_ids contains exactly sample.shape[0] entries before stacking per-sample
noise. Raise a clear ValueError on mismatch so noise cannot silently broadcast
across the batch.
- Line 291: Update the _StrictLoRA gradient check so the cloned weight w
requires gradients before the backward pass, then determine whether _StrictLoRA
returns no gradient for it by checking that w.grad remains None. Remove the
requires_grad condition from the base-frozen result so it reflects the backward
behavior.

Review comments at @rl_engine/models/minimax_h3/transition.py:
- Around line 66-70: Update fixed_order_mean to preserve its fixed-order Triton
forward while adding an autograd backward that distributes each per-sample
gradient evenly across the input’s non-batch elements and restores the input
shape and dtype. Add a test that calls backward through log_prob.sum() and
verifies velocity receives a gradient.

Review comments at @tools/validation/models/h3_full_speed.py:
- Around line 71-77: Move CandidateOps construction in the candidate setup
before torch.cuda.synchronize() and the t0 timing boundary, so extension
initialization is excluded from the measured run. Preserve the existing
candidate-only construction behavior.

Review comments at @tools/validation/models/h3_ws2_charts.py:
- Line 18: Update the report discovery in the chart’s report-loading flow to
read the runner’s per-layout report.json files under evidence, while retaining
support for existing h3_ws2_*.json inputs if needed. Fail with a clear message
when neither supported layout finds reports, rather than generating an empty
chart.

Compare block layouts and account for provider-only keys.

The test can miss a layout mismatch or an unexpected provider key. Allow the FastH3 compression gate, which is not in the base transformer, and compare the full tuples for shared keys.

Compare weight gradients for the SP grids.

The SP grids skip every dW comparison. The backward paths use gathered rows, so the existing shard comparison can check these gradients.

Suggested fix

-            if sp:
-                continue  # SP shards sequence rows; dW is reduced over rows below
             full = ref["dw." + name].cpu()

computation and loading path around `h3_tp.block_case`, coordinate any failure
with all ranks so they do not remain waiting at the final barrier; ensure
comparison failures are also coordinated and process-group cleanup is preserved.
