Resulting documentation

The README opens with SparkCache's purpose: persistent rank-local prefix reuse, local restore, and verified recomputation when stored state cannot be proven compatible. Package, OCI, and source-deployment qualification details appear beside deployment guidance.

The capability table includes the implemented tail-only row and opaque-page publication paths plus different-root row-segment sharing. It distinguishes exact-prefix GPU reuse from different-root sharing, limits SparkCache C++/CUDA restore qualification to the recorded flat-snapshot runtime, and identifies capabilities without live qualification or applicability to opaque GLM pages.

The vLLM source-contract table records the e10536a adaptive-MTP contract and the 0b67266 adaptive-MTP/live-tensor-KDA contract.

Compatibility

Documentation only. SparkCache wire values, cache identity, and runtime behavior are unchanged.

Validation

  • 738 SparkCache tests passed, 7 skipped
  • 108 deployment tests passed, 1 skipped
  • Ruff passed
  • Markdown diff and link review passed
  • Independent review confirmed that qualification wording is restricted to evidence from the named flat-snapshot runtime

Describe persistent prefix reuse, rank-local restore, and verified recomputation before artifact-specific qualification details. Move package and OCI evidence beside deployment guidance, add implemented tail-publication and row-segment-sharing capabilities, distinguish their model applicability and qualification state, and list the e10536a and 0b67266 runtime contracts. SparkCache wire values, cache identity, and runtime behavior are unchanged. Validation: 738 SparkCache tests passed with 7 skipped; 108 deployment tests passed with 1 skipped; Ruff and Markdown diff checks passed.
Replace ambiguous native-placement wording with SparkCache C++/CUDA page restore and name Python/Torch page restore as the comparison path. Clarify that SparkCache performs verified transfer into vLLM-owned cache pages. Documentation only; cache identity and runtime behavior are unchanged. Validation: Markdown diff checks passed.
Replace the lifecycle warning label with an exact qualification boundary and describe subsequent-request reuse without temporal shorthand. Documentation only; cache identity and runtime behavior are unchanged. Validation: Markdown diff checks passed.

The resulting behavior and evidence are consolidated in retained draft stack #39#42#44. Independent heat and SSD research remains in #36. Closing this superseded draft and deleting only its remote head branch.
