[TRTLLM-15040][test] Prune legacy Llama and Nemotron tests

[xinhe-nv]

Remove out-of-scope model-specific coverage while retaining generic KV-cache, LoRA, and architecture validation on supported Llama assets.

Summary

• Removed legacy Llama, Nemotron, DeciLM, and unsupported model-specific coverage.
• Retained generic KV-cache, LoRA, speculative decoding, and architecture validation.
• Updated model paths, registries, accuracy references, performance configurations, fixtures, and integration test lists.
• Replaced legacy Llama KV-cache coverage with Qwen3 and Qwen3 LoRA scenarios.
• Replaced legacy Llama LoRA coverage with Llama 3.1 FP8/BF16 coverage.
• Updated Spark coverage with Qwen3, Nemotron Nano, and GPT-OSS cases.

Dev Engineer Review

• Verify that removed model paths and registry entries are not referenced by retained tests or deployment workflows.
• Verify consistency across .pre-commit-config.yaml, legacy-files.txt, ruff-legacy.toml, and ruff-legacy-baseline.json.
• Verify Qwen3 KV-cache V2 coverage for correctness, chunked prefill, eviction, block reuse, overlap scheduling, partial reuse, and LoRA scenarios.
• Verify that Llama 3.1 model paths, adapter paths, adapter names, ranks, and cache settings match available test assets.
• Verify configuration values, test paths, and test-list entries.
• Check for regression gaps caused by removed model-specific coverage.
• CI run #67048 and L0_MergeRequest_PR pipeline #54589 failed. No fix or rerun result was provided.

QA Engineer Review

• Added or updated Llama 3.1 LoRA, speculative decoding, API, memory profiling, metrics, and Qwen3 KV-cache tests.
• Removed Nemotron NAS, DeciLM, legacy Llama, and obsolete model-specific tests.
• Updated QA lists: llm_function_core.txt, llm_spark_core.txt, llm_spark_func.yml, and llm_spark_perf.yml.
• Updated test-db lists: l0_a10.yml, l0_a30.yml, l0_b200.yml, l0_dgx_b200.yml, l0_dgx_h100.yml, l0_dgx_h200.yml, and l0_gb200_multi_gpus.yml.
• Removed obsolete entries from tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt.
• Several modified and added test functions do not have explicit test-list coverage mapping in the supplied changes.
• Verdict: needs follow-up.

Review summary - CONCERNS

Verdict: This is a test/config-only pruning PR with no production source changes, so there is no correctness BLOCKER I can see — but it removes substantial coverage and several affected test lists were truncated from my context, so I cannot confirm CI will collect cleanly. Capped at CONCERNS.

Concerns

1. [MAJOR] truncated test lists may still reference removed/renamed tests

   • What is wrong: The PR renames many tests (test_llama_7b_lora→test_llama3_1_lora, ..._evict_and_reload_evicted_adapters_in_cpu_and_gpu_cache→..._evict_and_reload_cpu_and_gpu_cache) and deletes classes (TestLlama3_3_70BInstruct, TestLlama3_2_3B, TestLlama3_8BInstruct, test_nemotron_nas_lora, TestKVCacheV2Llama, TestKVCacheV2LoRA).
   • How it fails: The visible lists (l0_b200.yml, llm_function_core.txt, llm_spark_func.yml, llm_spark_perf.yml, waives.txt) are cleaned, but l0_dgx_h100.yml, l0_dgx_h200.yml, l0_a10.yml, l0_a30.yml, l0_dgx_b200.yml and qa/llm_spark_core.txt were truncated. If any still lists an old/removed id, pytest collection for that lane errors out (not skips) and the lane fails.
   • Suggested fix: grep the full repo — including every truncated list — for all removed/renamed ids and confirm zero dangling references before merge.

2. [MAJOR] tests/integration/defs/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py - V2-vs-V1 parity coverage removed

   • What is wrong: TestKVCacheV2Llama and TestKVCacheV2LoRA are deleted and _run_v1_v2_compare is reduced to _run_v2, which only asserts all requests complete. The retained TestKVCacheV2DSv3Lite already ran with assert_outputs_match=False (MTP diverges).
   • How it fails: There is now no deterministic test asserting the V2 KV-cache scheduler produces the same output as V1 on any path (basic greedy, block reuse, eviction, chunked prefill). A future V2 scheduling regression would still "complete" and pass.
   • Suggested fix: retain at least one deterministic V1-vs-V2 output-equality case on a small model, or document why parity no longer needs guarding.

Minor notes (non-blocking)

• tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/hw_agnostic/test_draft_target.py:143 - assert total_accepted < total_drafted is probabilistic (temperature=0.8, fixed seed) and now depends on an EAGLE3 checkpoint used as the DraftTarget drafter; risk of spurious failure. Confirm this seed reliably yields ≥1 rejection.
• tests/integration/defs/perf/sampler_options_config.py:29 - get_sampler_options_config now always returns {} but the docstring still describes label-based selection; either delete or update the docstring.
• tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/_test_openai_lora.py:123 - still uses Optional[str]/typing.Optional; PEP 604 str | None preferred (per prior bot note).

QA view

• Test coverage: partial - LoRA/spec-decode/API tests are re-pointed to retained Llama-3.1 assets, but KV-cache V2 parity is no longer asserted and the deleted test_modeling_nemotron_nas.py / test_decilm_modeling.py remove unit coverage for model code that (as far as the diff shows) still ships.
• SM coverage: LoRA single-GPU tests moved from bf16 llama-7b to Llama-3.1-8B-FP8 with skip_fp8_pre_ada + skip_gpu_memory_less_than_80gb, so pre-Ada and 40–80GB single-GPU LoRA paths are no longer exercised. Removed NVFP4 Llama-3.3-70B cases reduce Blackwell (sm100/sm120) coverage for those shapes. Retained cases run on Ada+/Hopper.
• Test code: flaky rejection assertion and dead get_sampler_options_config noted above; otherwise the rewrites look consistent (e.g. test_save_state.py correctly updates hidden-size asserts 2048→4096 for the 8B model).
• Test time: unknown - many long 70B/253B accuracy and KV-cache-v2 cases are removed (net faster), but new LoRA tests load Llama-3.1-8B-FP8; the diff does not let me net these out.
• Needs /qa-verify: yes - this changes test infrastructure and mass-prunes coverage. QA should run collection across all L0/QA lanes to confirm no removed/renamed id is still referenced, and confirm the retained Llama-3.1 model + lora/llama-3-chinese-8b-instruct-v2-lora assets exist on LLM_MODELS_ROOT.

Possible new issues

• Nemotron-NAS/DeciLM production modeling code loses its equivalence/export unit tests.
• Pre-Ada / small-GPU LoRA regressions would no longer be caught after the FP8 + 80GB gate change.
• EAGLE3 checkpoint used as a DraftTarget drafter is a non-obvious pairing; verify the metrics-based assertions mean what they claim.

What I could not verify

• The full contents of the truncated files: l0_dgx_h100.yml, l0_dgx_h200.yml, l0_a10.yml, l0_a30.yml, l0_dgx_b200.yml, qa/llm_spark_core.txt, disaggregated/test_disaggregated.py, microbenchmarks/qa/module_test_list.txt, examples/llm-api/README.md — so I cannot confirm no dangling references or that all removed cases are fully de-listed.
• Whether the retained Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-FP8 and Chinese LoRA adapter assets exist in the CI model root.

Add the model-existence guard to TestKVCacheV2Qwen3.

TestKVCacheV2Qwen3LoRA.setup_class skips when MODEL_PATH is missing. TestKVCacheV2Qwen3 has no equivalent guard, so a missing Qwen3/Qwen3-0.6B directory produces a load error instead of a skip. Both classes point at the same path. Add the same guard for consistent CI signal.

Annotate _create_lora_adapter and seed the adapter weights.

Two points:

1. The coding guidelines require annotating every function. The two sibling helpers added in this change, _host_cache_size_for_tokens and _make_eviction_prompts, are annotated. _create_lora_adapter is not.
2. torch.randn runs without a seed. The V1 and V2 runs inside one class share the generated files, so a single run stays deterministic. A seed still makes a failure reproducible across CI runs.

As per coding guidelines: "Annotate every function, use None for procedures".

This head also drops the last scheduled Phi coverage — this modeling_phi3 entry plus test_modeling_phi3.py itself, the microsoft/Phi-4-mini-instruct mmlu references and TestPhi2 in test_cli_flow.py, the three Phi4-Reasoning-Plus test_ptp_quickstart_advanced params and their spark func/perf entries, the Phi-3 AutoDeploy smoke configs, and check_phi3_lora_fused_modules_output_tp2_identical_to_tp1. After this there is no Phi test left in any test-db or QA list.

Phi3ForCausalLM (Phi-4) and Phi4MMForCausalLM are both still listed in docs/source/models/supported-models.md at this head, and tensorrt_llm/_torch/models/modeling_phi3.py / modeling_phi4mm.py are untouched, so this isn't the "unsupported model-specific coverage" the description describes — it leaves a supported family with zero regression coverage. Could you either keep the modeling_phi3 unit test scheduled here, or split the Phi removal out with the supported-models entry retired alongside it?

Required for this PR, in the same sense as the V2-scheduler coverage question earlier — a supported architecture shouldn't lose all of its tests silently.

[xinhe-nv]

according to the latest test scope QA/CI Test Scope-2026.7, all phi2, phi3 and phi4 tests will be cleaned. Because they are p1 models, their bugs will also be set to P1 and ignored. we need to discuss with @StanleySun639 to confirm the reqirements.

Are we planning to remove the model implementations too in a separate PR? I feel like that would be the next logical step, otherwise it just opens the door for people to file issues against models we no longer test in CI.
