📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe A2A3 and A5 orchestrators now apply bounded one-hop reduction to inline WAIT edges. Payloads track total and readiness fanin separately. Scheduling and pin release use the reduced semantics. Tests and documentation cover diamond dependencies and pre-reduction dependency records. ChangesWAIT-edge reduction and fanin accounting
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to The PR removes runtime ordering waits in transitive cases. Without producer-generation validation, a reused slot could be mistaken for the original producer and a required dependency could be removed, potentially allowing tasks to execute out of order; an asymmetric slot bound also leaves a possible out-of-bounds access. The PR is not merge-ready until these checks are fixed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 78-87: Update the dep_gen documentation to describe the annotated
pass as an inlined mirror rather than claiming both passes call
compute_task_fanin; state that both passes replay the same construction. Clarify
that deps.json is the complete constructed logical dependency graph, including
pre-reduction edges, while reduce_wait_edges only removes redundant DEP_WAIT for
runtime readiness enforcement.
In `@docs/investigations/2026-08-tmr-transitive-reduction-depth.md`:
- Around line 56-58: Update the complexity statement for reduce_wait_edges to
include the O(n_red) scan per candidate, giving the worst-case bound O(count² ·
fanin(Q)) apart from the final scan; alternatively, explicitly state that
PTO2_FANIN_INLINE_CAP is treated as a fixed constant.

…T edges Builds on the WAIT/RETAIN split (hw-native-sys#1806) to close Issue hw-native-sys#1375. When a consumer C has a direct edge P->C whose ordering is already implied by a two-hop path P->Q->C through another of C's own producers, the direct edge's WAIT flag is redundant and is cleared: - a creator edge (WAIT|RETAIN) becomes RETAIN-only, so P stays alive until C releases it — including past the end of P's scope — but no longer gates C's readiness (acceptance #2); - a modifier edge (WAIT-only) becomes DEP_NONE and drops out entirely (acceptance #1, the A->B->C + A->C diamond). reduce_wait_edges runs once per submit on the fully-built fanin, before it is flushed to the payload and wired. Q's fanin stores only a (ring, slot) pointer, not a generation, so slot reuse could make a walked producer P resolve to an unrelated task C also depends on. Two conditions together keep P's identity valid, and the reduction uses a covering producer Q only when both hold: - Q is still live (task_state < COMPLETED). on_task_release(Q), which drops Q's RETAIN pins, runs at Q's completion, not its reclaim, so a completed Q's fanin pointers may resolve to reused slots and Q is skipped. This loses no useful reduction: Q completing implies P completed (Q depends on P), so C's P->C WAIT is already satisfied and clearing it changes no readiness. - P->Q carries RETAIN. A live Q therefore still holds P's pin, so P is not consumed and its slot not rebound; a WAIT-only P->Q released P's pin at Q's wiring and gives no such guarantee. Reuse of P's slot requires all of P's pins released, and Q holds one until it completes, so a live Q with a RETAIN P->Q is the exact invariant proving the walked P is the same task Q recorded. The slot index is bounded on both sides before indexing the epoch array, only C's own fanin is modified, and the pass is bounded to inline-fitting fanin so the AICPU submit path stays O(count^2 * producer_fanin); denser fanins skip reduction. Readiness accounting now separates the two counts the split made distinct: fanin_actual_count stays the TOTAL edge count (for_each iteration and on_task_release walk every edge, including RETAIN-only ones), while a new fanin_wait_count carries the DEP_WAIT edge count after reduction and is the denominator the early-dispatch and completion paths compare dispatch_fanin against. fanin_wait_count occupies existing padding before the 64B-aligned predicate, so the payload layout is unchanged. The submit->wire pin is now released for any edge lacking DEP_RETAIN (ordering-only or reduction- dropped), replacing the PR1 assertion that every edge carried WAIT. Arbitrary-depth reduction is infeasible on the device orchestrator, which builds fanin incrementally and reuses ring slots and so has no reliable view past one hop; the reasoning and the deferral to a future host-resident DAG (hbg) are recorded in docs/investigations. deps.json continues to record the as-constructed (pre-reduction) edge set, and the dep_gen differential gate is unaffected since both replay passes drive the same construction; docs/dfx/dep-gen.md notes this. Mirrored identically across a2a3 and a5. Adds diamond-reduction, dropped-modifier, independent-producer, wait-only-covering-edge, completed-covering-producer, and RETAIN-only-lifetime acceptance tests per arch. Closes hw-native-sys#1375

Summary
Second and final PR for Issue #1375. Builds on the WAIT/RETAIN edge split
landed in #1806 to perform 1-hop transitive reduction of redundant
ordering edges in the
tensormap_and_ringbufferAICPU orchestrator, onboth a2a3 and a5.
When a consumer
Chas a direct edgeP→Cwhose ordering is alreadyimplied by a two-hop path
P→Q→Cthrough another ofC's own producers,the direct edge's
WAITflag is redundant:WAIT|RETAIN) becomes RETAIN-only —Pstaysalive until
Creleases it, including past the end ofP's scope, but nolonger gates
C's readiness (acceptance Refactor AICPU core assignment to support dynamic block distribution #2);WAIT-only) becomesDEP_NONEand drops outentirely (acceptance Multi-threaded AICPU Scheduler with Parallel Task Dispatch #1, the
A→B→C+A→Cdiamond).How it works
reduce_wait_edgesruns once per submit on the fully-built fanin, before itis flushed to the payload and wired:
Cis pinned byC's own submit→wire fanout hold, sotheir slots are stable to read during the pass.
Pis one ofC's producers") is O(1) via the per-submitfanin_seen_epochmarks; a producer slot pointer resolves to(ring, slot)through
ring_id+ a base subtraction, with no dereference of apossibly-reused slot.
C's own fanin is ever modified, so every transitive ordering pathsurvives — clearing a subset of redundant edges is sound on a DAG.
2 ≤ count ≤ INLINE_CAP) to keep theAICPU submit path
O(count · producer_fanin); denser fanins skip it.Accounting
Readiness now separates the two counts the split made distinct:
fanin_actual_count— TOTAL edge count (for_eachiteration andon_task_releasewalk every edge, including RETAIN-only ones);fanin_wait_count(new) — DEP_WAIT edge count after reduction, thedenominator the early-dispatch and completion paths compare
dispatch_faninagainst.
fanin_wait_countoccupies existing padding before the 64B-alignedpredicate, so the payload layout is unchanged (guarded by the existinglayout
static_asserts). The submit→wire pin is now released for any edgelacking
DEP_RETAIN(ordering-only or reduction-dropped), replacing thePR1 assertion that every edge carried
WAIT.Scope / non-goals
orchestrator builds fanin incrementally and reuses ring slots, so it has no
reliable view past one hop; buying arbitrary depth needs a persistent
per-slot ancestor closure the AICPU dispatch path cannot afford. Reasoning
and the deferral to a future host-resident DAG (hbg) are recorded in
docs/investigations/2026-08-tmr-transitive-reduction-depth.md.host_build_graph) support is a separate future PR.deps.jsoncontinues to record the as-constructed (pre-reduction)edge set; the
dep_gendifferential gate is unaffected since both replaypasses drive the same construction.
