📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughQuantization scoring now preserves registration order and supports distributed-state fallback. Gradient-based AutoQuantize scoring uses reusable sessions for hooks, gradients, recipe replay, MoE rules, checkpointing, and cleanup. Tests cover distributed scoring, ordering, and failure recovery. ChangesQuantization scoring
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The PR fixes distributed AutoQuantize scoring and centralizes cleanup for backward-based scoring. A localized cleanup issue could leave a stale forward-method attribute after scoring, but the impact is limited and does not present a merge-blocking risk beyond normal review follow-up.

forwardby removing the temporary instance attribute.
module.forwardis normally a class attribute accessed as a bound method. The restore callback writes the saved bound method into the instance__dict__, so every score module keeps a permanent self-referentialforwardentry after scoring. That entry also shadows the class method if the module class is swapped later, for example by a dynamic-module conversion or a state restore.Save the original instance-level value, then restore or delete it.

What does this PR do?
Type of change: Bug fix
AutoQuantize can measure a group of quantized expert layers at their enclosing MLP output. That enclosing module is often a plain PyTorch container and does not carry distributed-group information, so its sensitivity score was not combined across data- or expert-parallel workers.
This PR obtains the distributed groups from the quantized layers when the scoring module does not provide them. It also preserves construction order for quantized modules, scoring modules, and their registered hyperparameters so every worker accumulates scores in the same order.
The temporary state needed by backward-based scoring is now managed by one shared session. The session installs and removes forward patches and backward hooks, controls parameter gradients, and restores the active quantization recipes even when scoring raises an exception. Scoring methods remain responsible for their own score calculation.
Usage
N/A — this fixes existing AutoQuantize behavior and does not add an API or flag.
