Thanks for tracking this down -- the diagnosis in #5973 is right, and reading the source artifact's own lower_input_kind instead of re-deriving it at the target is the correct direction. Two things need work before this can go in; both are inline.
The short version: the new default is applied to sources that never carried the field, and that is a different decision from the one the bug required. _resolve_lower_kind answered a question about the model (model_uses_graph_lower + _supports_graph_export), which is available from any source format, so pinning every non-pt_expt source to "nlist" removes a correct answer along with the incorrect one.
I also checked the rejection branch for graph -> .dp/.pth/.pb and concluded it is right as written: those backends only implement the padded dense lower, so allowing that conversion would be the same silent change of function this PR is fixing. No change requested there.

Both of my earlier points are genuinely addressed -- thanks for the rewrite, the "source declares its contract, absent metadata falls back to auto" split is the right shape.
Verified against HEAD rather than taking the replies at face value:
- Absent metadata now reaches
auto, so.dpsources get the model-derived resolution back, and a native-spin.dp->.pt2no longer trips thenative_spinguard. test_convert_regular_pt_dpa1_preserves_dense_semanticsis a real regression test: it forcesdavgto a nonzero value, writes an actual.pth, runs the realconvert_backend, reads the realmetadata.jsonout of the produced archive, and compares energy and force atrtol=atol=1e-10. Nothing is monkeypatched, it is not skipped, and the main CI matrix collects it. Pre-fix it would recordgraphand fail on the metadata assertion. That is exactly what was missing.
One new problem came in with the rewrite, inline below: making the PyTorch source declare a fixed ABI breaks the one model family that already had a non-dense one.
Non-blocking, for a follow-up if you prefer: the dpmodel backend is now the only one that does not declare a contract (deepmd/dpmodel/utils/serialization.py is untouched, and load_dp_model returns whatever is stored). The consequence is that the same .dp behaves differently depending on when it was produced -- one written before this change has no key and resolves through auto, while one written afterwards by a pth -> dp conversion carries "nlist" and is pinned dense. Since tf, tf2 and jax all now state "nlist" explicitly, .dp reads as an oversight rather than a decision.
On CI: the checks are green, but Test C++ on CUDA and Test Python on CUDA both come back skipped at job level for this head (only the aggregate Pass testing on CUDA gate is green), so the CUDA-side canonical operators are not covered by anything that ran here.

All three of my earlier points are genuinely resolved, and I checked each against the code rather than the replies.
The auto fallback restores the model-derived resolution for sources that declare nothing. The dense-semantics regression is real end-to-end — nonzero davg, a real .pth, the real convert_backend, the real metadata.json, plus an energy/force comparison at 1e-10. And I spent a while on edge_vec -> graph, since it is the only row in the table whose key and value differ: it holds, and for a better reason than the comment gives. deserialize_to_file re-deserializes the model from the weights, builds pt_expt's own NeighborGraph sample inputs and re-traces through torch.export, and meta["lower_input_kind"] is written after that trace, so the recorded ABI cannot drift from the compiled signature. That matters, because the two ABIs are not interchangeable at all — a six-tuple starting with float coord versus a ten-tuple with no coord, atype in slot 0, and four CSR arrays. A relabel would have been silently catastrophic; a re-trace is sound. I also confirmed the innermost gate re-asserts both _supports_graph_export and model_uses_graph_lower, so nothing here bypasses the eligibility checks.
What holds this up is one regression that came in with the last commit, inline below, plus two things worth settling in the same pass. None of them is in the original problem area — the fix for #5973 itself looks right to me.
For completeness, things I checked that turned out fine and that nobody needs to spend time on: a graph lower written into a .pte is a supported artifact, not a broken one (the .pte path is the Python torch.export.load consumer; the C++ AOTI runtime only handles .pt2, and doc/backend.md already says compiled .pte retains its recorded kind). The new top-level lower_input_kind key does not trip the serialization-version rule, since the interchange dict carries no top-level @version — only the nested data["model"] is versioned. And the base-class export_lower_input_kind default closes a latent AttributeError for non-SeZM models reaching the freeze path rather than creating a new risk.
Separately, and not something to fix here: dp freeze in deepmd/pt_expt/entrypoints/main.py force-overrides lower_kind to "graph" for any structurally graph-capable model, warning only about a "~1e-4" difference. That gate looks at structural eligibility and never at davg, which is precisely the variable #5973 showed can drive the two lowers apart by far more than 1e-4. So after this PR, dp freeze and dp convert-backend apply opposite policies to the same weights, and I think it is freeze that is now wrong. Worth a separate issue rather than widening this one.

Approving. All three points from my last round are resolved in 3166cd9, checked against the code rather than the replies.
The static edge_vec -> graph row is gone. _resolve_target_lower_kind now routes edge_vec through _select_graph_lower_kind, which deserializes the target model and returns graph only when both model_uses_graph_lower and _supports_graph_export hold, falling back to nlist otherwise. That restores the pre-check auto used to perform, which was the regression. The new test_edge_vec_uses_dense_lower_for_non_energy_target crosses exactly the cell the previous test missed, an edge_vec source with a graph-ineligible target: on 4ae8ce9 the static table maps it to graph and the innermost gate raises, so the test fails there and passes now. That is a real regression test.
On the .dp declaration, I accept the argument. A .dp written by a conversion keeps the concrete kind it arrived with, so .pth -> .dp -> .pt2 now carries nlist end to end, and only a natively authored .dp with no provenance reports auto, which is the legacy fallback by construction. preserves_lower_input_kind on DPModelBackend also reopens pt -> .dp, which the previous guard had closed for no benefit. The schema-neutral test fails on the old guard with "Cannot preserve lower_input_kind 'graph'", so it too proves the change.
The native-spin guard now lives where both the caller's value and the resolved kind are visible, and the two auto messages describe the actual constraint instead of presenting an internally resolved nlist as a user choice. The .pte regression pins the message.
Also noted: 11be89d gives the argcheck fixture the numb_steps that dargs 0.5.1's root-level extra_check now requires. That is the same failure currently showing on other open PRs, so CI here is green on its own merits, and master will pick up the fix with this merge.
