Summary
Why
Small minimum batches can reinforce trainer underfeed and stale-rollout pressure. The old padding-normalized underfeed denominator also overstated underfeed under context parallelism, while the packed-token numerator counted rows CP did not execute. Separately, shutdown could block forever trying to inject a sentinel into a full output queue, and legacy Parquet serialization retained large route payloads.
Validation
prek run --all-filestyacross all changed production modulesWorkload-specific XML parsing, eval cadence, run naming, and parity-only test changes are intentionally excluded.
