Pure-Rust Metal GPU compute library for MLX-compatible inference on Apple Silicon
Documentation
//! Integration test for the `dispatch_tracked` auto-barrier path
//! (ADR-015 iter37, extended in iter39).
//!
//! Verifies four behavioral invariants:
//!
//! 1. **Output parity** — a sequence of dispatches encoded via the
//!    `dispatch_tracked_*` family produces byte-identical output to
//!    the same sequence encoded via the plain `encode_*` family
//!    plus hand-placed `enc.memory_barrier()` calls.  This is the
//!    sourdough-safety property: opting in must not change results.
//!
//! 2. **Env-gate off → no auto-barriers** — when `HF2Q_AUTO_BARRIER`
//!    is unset (the default), `dispatch_tracked` calls do NOT
//!    increment `auto_barrier_count` or `auto_barrier_concurrent_count`
//!    because the gate-off branch returns before touching the
//!    `MemRanges` tracker.
//!
//! 3. **Capture-mode passthrough** — calling `dispatch_tracked` while
//!    capture is active records the read/write ranges onto the
//!    captured node identically to a `set_pending_buffer_ranges +
//!    encode_*` pair.
//!
//! 4. **Conflict-detection unit-level** — covered by
//!    `src/mem_ranges.rs` lib tests (RAW/WAR/WAW/different-buffers).
//!
//! ## iter39 — full coverage extension
//!
//! Adds two more tracked variants to mirror all 5 production
//! dispatch primitives used by `apply_gated_attn_layer_decode_into`
//! (audit per ADR-015 §iter38):
//!
//! * `dispatch_tracked_threadgroups_with_shared` — wraps
//!   `encode_threadgroups_with_shared` (rms_norm callsites).
//! * `dispatch_tracked_threads_with_args` — wraps
//!   `encode_with_args` (rope IMROPE, sigmoid-mul, kv_cache_copy).
//!
//! Note on env-gating: `auto_barrier_enabled()` caches the env-var
//! decision in a `OnceLock` on first call.  Tests that need the gate
//! ON must run in a separate process.  This file does NOT set
//! `HF2Q_AUTO_BARRIER=1` — the gate-on integration test is exercised
//! via the hf2q parity matrix (PHASE 4 of iter37) where the binary is
//! launched fresh each trial, not through cargo test's shared
//! process.
