What does this PR do?

Type of change: New feature (recipe loading) + one bug fix

Two things, the second built on the first:

  1. A recipe can now reuse another recipe whole. A top-level $import brings in the imported recipe's entire body; keys given alongside it override the imported ones. metadata.recipe_type becomes optional and is deprecated along the way.
  2. The deprecated recipe_type is swept out of every shipped recipe, and the checkpoint backfill starts with two published checkpoints recorded as aliases that reuse a portable recipe wholesale — the first users of the alias mechanism — plus a fix to two existing Nemotron NVFP4 recipes.

Declaring what kind of recipe a file is

load_recipe read metadata.recipe_type out of the raw YAML before resolving imports, because it needs the schema class to hand to load_config. That made the field impossible to inherit, so a recipe reusing another had to restate a line it could only have copied.

It is now optional, and the loader takes the first of these that answers:

  1. a # modelopt-schema: comment naming the recipe's schema class,
  2. metadata.recipe_typedeprecated; still read and still honoured, so a recipe outside this repo keeps working unchanged,
  3. the recipe it delegates to via a top-level $import.

Whatever a recipe does state must be true, in both directions. A schema comment contradicting a recipe_type is rejected, and so is a recipe importing a different kind of recipe — that used to surface as whatever pydantic made of, say, an eagle section spliced into a PTQ schema. The concrete recipe classes carry a RECIPE_TYPE ClassVar as the single source of truth.

Only a recipe that another file imports needs the schema comment — that is what $import resolution requires to validate the payload. The sweep here drops metadata.recipe_type from all 78 shipped recipes that carried it and gives the imported ones a # modelopt-schema: comment instead, so nothing in-tree depends on the deprecated field.

Checkpoint aliases

Two NVIDIA-published checkpoints use a scheme a portable recipe already produces, with no checkpoint-specific deviation, so each is recorded as a thin alias (top-level $import, overriding only metadata) at its own model-hub path:

  • models/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6/ptq/nvfp4_experts_only_mse-kv_fp8_cast delegates to general/ptq/nvfp4_experts_only_mse-kv_fp8_cast — expert-only NVFP4 (MSE static weights, dynamic inputs) with an FP8 KV cache in cast mode — published as nvidia/Kimi-K2.6-NVFP4.
  • models/nvidia/Qwen3.5-397B-A17B/ptq/nvfp4_experts_mse-fp8_rest-kv_fp8 delegates to the qwen3_5_moe architecture recipe model_type/qwen3_5_moe/ptq/nvfp4_experts_mse-fp8_rest-kv_fp8 — NVFP4 (MSE static weights) on the routed experts, ModelOpt-default FP8 elsewhere, FP8 KV cache — published as nvidia/Qwen3.5-397B-A17B-NVFP4-V2.

Editing the base recipe changes every alias that points at it; nothing is duplicated.

One fix

  • The Nemotron-3 Super and Ultra NVFP4 recipes quantized the MTP block on the Megatron-Core path, where it is a live model.mtp submodule their broad *mixer.* patterns matched into, contrary to their own descriptions. They now disable mtp.* explicitly. Hugging Face runs were unaffected — NemotronHPreTrainedModel sets _keys_to_ignore_on_load_unexpected = [r"mtp.*"] and builds no MTP module.

Usage

A checkpoint alias resolves through --recipe to the recipe it delegates to:

python examples/hf_ptq/hf_ptq.py \
    --pyt_ckpt_path <checkpoint> \
    --recipe models/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6/ptq/nvfp4_experts_only_mse-kv_fp8_cast \
    --export_path <output>

A recipe that reuses another whole — the shape the aliases use:

imports:
  base: general/ptq/nvfp4_experts_only_mse-kv_fp8_cast

$import: base
metadata:
  description: What this checkpoint uses the base recipe for.

Testing

  • tests/unit/recipe/test_loader.py — 24 new cases covering whole-recipe reuse with no metadata at all; kind resolution from each of the three sources, from a delegation chain and from a $import list; a delegation cycle failing with ValueError rather than recursing; peek_declared_schema including a comment placed below the first YAML line; recipe_type being optional, filled per class, and rejected when it contradicts; a directory recipe still requiring it; and delegating across kinds being an error.
  • tests/unit/recipe/test_recipe_docs.py — the model-specific-recipe check now also covers the two new alias folders, which must be listed in ptq.md like every other models/<org>/<model_id> entry.
  • Recipe validation (tools/precommit/check_modelopt_recipes.py) and pre-commit pass on the changed files. The full tests/unit/recipe/ suite is left to CI — a broken transformer_engine in the local dev venv keeps the mtq.quantize-based cases from running there.

Not covered: numerics. Nothing here asserts accuracy, or that running one of these recipes reproduces a released checkpoint's weights.

Before your PR is "Ready for review"

  • Is this change backward compatible?: ✅ — metadata.recipe_type is still read and honoured for recipes outside this repo, the schema comments are inert for direct loads, and the loader change only relaxes a check.
  • If you copied code from any other sources or added a new PIP dependency, did you follow guidance in CONTRIBUTING.md: ✅ — no new dependencies.
  • Did you write any new necessary tests?: ✅
  • Did you update Changelog?: ✅ — two feature entries, one deprecation, and one bug fix under 0.48.0.
  • Did you get Claude approval on this PR?: ❌ — not yet run.

… aliases

Drop the newly-added NVIDIA Nemotron checkpoint mirrors (Nano-30B-A3B FP8,
Super-120B-A12B FP8, Nano-Omni FP8/NVFP4) and instead record two published
checkpoints as thin aliases that reuse a portable recipe wholesale:

- models/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6/ptq/nvfp4_experts_only_mse-kv_fp8_cast aliases
  general/ptq/nvfp4_experts_only_mse-kv_fp8_cast, published as nvidia/Kimi-K2.6-NVFP4.
- models/nvidia/Qwen3.5-397B-A17B/ptq/nvfp4_experts_mse-fp8_rest-kv_fp8 aliases
  model_type/qwen3_5_moe/ptq/nvfp4_experts_mse-fp8_rest-kv_fp8, published as
  nvidia/Qwen3.5-397B-A17B-NVFP4-V2.

Update CHANGELOG and ptq.md (drop the Nemotron mirror bullets, add a Checkpoint
aliases subsection). The pre-existing nvidia Nemotron-3 mirrors (Super-120B nvfp4,
Ultra, 3.5-Lightning, Nano-4B) are unchanged.

Two cleanups to the recipe-alias change, no behaviour change.

_MODELOPT_SCHEMA_RE had re.MULTILINE added to it, but _parse_modelopt_schema
iterates text.splitlines() and calls .match() on each line, where ^ and $ already
anchor to the single-line string and .match() anchors at position 0 -- so the flag
did nothing in production. It was there only so the shipped-recipe guard test
could .search() whole-file text. That put a test's requirement into a production
regex and implied the parser scans multi-line input, when it deliberately stops at
the first non-comment line. The flag is dropped; the test compiles its own
multiline variant from the same pattern, so the syntax it accepts still cannot
drift from the parser's.

delegated_recipe_paths was public-named but is called only from loader.py and is
not in __all__, unlike every sibling helper there (_peek_recipe_type,
_apply_dotlist, _load_recipe_from_file). Renamed to _delegated_recipe_paths.

In `@CHANGELOG.rst`:
- Line 11: Update the changelog entry’s top-level $import description to state
that a delegating recipe may override any imported top-level key, including
sections such as quantize, rather than restricting overrides to metadata;
preserve the surrounding recipe_type and schema-comment behavior.

In `@docs/source/guides/10_recipes.rst`:
- Around line 585-591: Update the earlier recipe-type requirements and loading
descriptions to reflect that recipe kind may come from a schema comment,
delegated recipe, or the deprecated metadata.recipe_type fallback. Revise
examples that present metadata.recipe_type as mandatory or the sole source,
while preserving explicit metadata.recipe_type examples that demonstrate a
supported form.

In `@tests/unit/recipe/test_loader.py`:
- Around line 330-336: Update the PTQ discovery logic around
peek_declared_schema and load_recipe so delegated files are classified by their
resolved recipe type rather than treating any top-level $import as PTQ. Resolve
the imported recipe kind, retain only PTQ recipes, and exclude non-recipe
fragments and other delegated kinds such as speculative decoding while
preserving direct PTQ schema and metadata detection.

Claude review — CRITICAL: 0, IMPORTANT: 1, SUGGESTION: 1.

Full review (no scoping instructions in the trigger comment). 89 files changed; I reviewed all three modelopt/ files, tools/precommit/check_modelopt_recipes.py, the two new alias recipes, the three Nemotron MTP recipes, a representative slice of the schema-comment sweep (general/ptq/, general/speculative_decoding/, model_type/qwen3_5_moe/, general/auto_quantize/, timm/, model_type/vit/), and the docs/CHANGELOG. I did not open the remaining ~60 one-line sweep files individually — test_load_recipe_all_builtins plus test_shipped_modelopt_schema_comments_are_in_the_preamble cover that class mechanically.

Findings

[IMPORTANT] docs/source/guides/10_recipes.rst:518-525 documents four general PTQ recipes that do not exist — general/ptq/fp8_default-kv_fp16, nvfp4_default-kv_fp16, nvfp4_mlp_only-kv_fp16, nvfp4_experts_only-kv_fp16. The only -kv_fp16 recipe shipped anywhere is nvfp4_weight_only-kv_fp16.yaml, in this branch and on main alike. A recipe path is the --recipe interface, so each of those four fails to resolve for a user copying from the "General PTQ recipes" table, and nothing in CI catches a documented-but-missing recipe name. Either drop the rows (and the matching kv_fp16 paragraph in ptq.md) or land the recipe files with them.

[SUGGESTION] tools/precommit/check_modelopt_recipes.py:200_is_recipe_file recognizes the schema comment and metadata.recipe_type, but not the third source this PR adds (delegation via a top-level $import). Both new alias recipes are therefore skipped by the hook entirely, _try_load_recipe included. CI still loads them, so this is a lost local signal rather than an escape to production. The inline comment also notes a now-unreachable branch in _check_single_file_recipe.

What checked out

The core mechanism is sound and the design is clean:

  • Kind resolution order (_peek_recipe_type): schema comment → metadata.recipe_type → delegated base. The _seen guard terminates, including in the second, un-seeded call from the cross-kind check in _load_recipe_from_file, where the reverse walk hits the already-seen base and stops.
  • Delegation semantics match the docs: _resolve_value does merged.update(inline_keys) after imports is stripped at _resolve_imports:476, so a top-level $import plus a sibling metadata really is whole-key replacement rather than a deep merge, and no stray imports / $import key survives into the extra="forbid" model.
  • RECIPE_TYPE as single source of truth: _resolve_recipe_type assigns to self.metadata.recipe_type (the nested model), not self.<field>, so validate_assignment=True on ModeloptBaseConfig does not recurse. Backward compatibility holds — recipe_type is still read, still honoured, and a contradiction is a clear error rather than a silent preference.
  • Schema comments landed in the preamble on every file I sampled, which matters because _parse_modelopt_schema breaks at the first non-comment line; test_shipped_modelopt_schema_comments_are_in_the_preamble guards the rest. The files with a deletion and no addition (general/auto_quantize/, timm/resnet/, Muse-Glimmer-30B) already carried their comment.
  • The Nemotron MTP fix appends mtp.* / enable: false as the last quant_cfg entry in all three recipes (algorithm: precedes quant_cfg:, so the append really is last), with the same pattern spelling as configs/ptq/units/default_disabled_quantizers.yaml — so it undoes the broad *mixer.* matches as intended, and the HF-path claim is consistent with _keys_to_ignore_on_load_unexpected.
  • No new state, mode, or export surface: nothing here touches modelopt_state, mode registration, restore, or an export path, and no plugin is hard-imported. The one new public symbol, peek_declared_schema, is read-only and used only from modelopt/recipe/loader.py.

Overall risk: low, and confined to recipe loading. The only blocker is documentation promising four recipe paths that do not resolve.

# Conflicts:
#	modelopt_recipes/ptq.md
Five findings from CodeRabbit and the Claude reviewer, each verified against the
tree before acting.

Four documented recipes did not exist (Claude, IMPORTANT). The 10_recipes.rst
general-PTQ table listed fp8_default-kv_fp16, nvfp4_default-kv_fp16,
nvfp4_mlp_only-kv_fp16 and nvfp4_experts_only-kv_fp16 -- rows this PR added, for
recipes that moved to a later backfill batch. A recipe path is the user-facing
--recipe interface, so copying any of them yielded "Recipe path ... is not a valid
YAML file or directory". Rows removed. The `kv_fp16` KV-mode prose in ptq.md
stays: nvfp4_weight_only-kv_fp16 does ship, so the suffix it documents is real.

A new test_documented_recipe_paths_resolve closes the direction the existing
checks left open: they verify every shipped recipe is documented, not that every
documented recipe exists. Confirmed non-vacuous by reinstating one phantom row
and watching it fail. Prose that names a recipe family (general/ptq/nvfp4_mlp_only
standing for its -kv_* variants) and examples carrying an explicit .yaml suffix
are both accepted, since neither is a broken path.

The recipe pre-commit hook skipped aliases (Claude). _is_recipe_file required a
schema comment or a recipe_type, and an alias carries neither -- so the hook
silently ignored exactly the file class this PR introduces, and a typo in an
alias's imports: target would not be caught locally. Added the third branch.

PTQ discovery assumed $import implies PTQ (CodeRabbit). An alias of a
speculative-decoding recipe delegates identically, so the test now asks
_peek_recipe_type for the kind instead of re-deriving the rules. Coverage is
unchanged at 67 recipes, both aliases included, and it can no longer drift from
what load_recipe does.

Changelog overstated the restriction (CodeRabbit): any top-level key given
alongside a $import overrides the imported one, not just metadata.

Docs contradicted themselves (CodeRabbit): three passages still called
metadata.recipe_type mandatory or the sole source of a recipe's kind, while the
new section below documents three sources. Reworded, with an anchor so they link
to it.

Claude review summary

Findings: CRITICAL: 0, IMPORTANT: 0, SUGGESTION: 3

Most impactful findings

  1. [SUGGESTION] tools/precommit/check_modelopt_recipes.py — the new _declares_recipe_schema branch in _is_recipe_file is evaluated before the _SUPPORTED_RECIPE_TYPES gate, so that frozenset no longer constrains any schema-declaring recipe. In practice the hook silently started validating auto_quantize recipes (general/auto_quantize/*.yaml, model_type/qwen3_6_moe/auto_quantize/*, models/meta-models/Muse-Glimmer-30B/auto_quantize/*), which were previously skipped. That widening looks right, but the module docstring, the comment above _SUPPORTED_RECIPE_TYPES, and the _is_recipe_file docstring now describe the old behaviour. Also flagged: _SCHEMA_COMMENT_RE scans the whole file with re.MULTILINE, unlike the loader's preamble-only _parse_modelopt_schema — benign, but worth saying so in the docstring.
  2. [SUGGESTION] modelopt/recipe/loader.py:309 — a mutual-delegation cycle terminates correctly but reports "does not say what kind of recipe it is … or delegate to a recipe that does", which points the author at the thing they already did. _resolve_imports' "Circular import detected" message is unreachable because kind resolution fails first, and test_load_recipe_delegation_cycle_is_reported_not_hung pins the misleading text.
  3. [SUGGESTION] CHANGELOG.rst:12 — the backfill entry closes with internal backfill-policy rationale; CLAUDE.md asks for one-to-two externally-oriented sentences with rationale in the PR description.

Verified, not flagged

  • _resolve_recipe_type assigns to self.metadata.recipe_type (a nested model attribute), so validate_assignment=True does not re-enter the validator. metadata remains required on the concrete recipe classes.
  • The unguarded yaml.safe_load in _load_recipe_from_file is not a new multi-document regression: all five entries of _REQUIRED_SECTION_PER_RECIPE_TYPE are populated, so that parse was already reachable for every recipe kind pre-PR.
  • Both new aliases (moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6/ptq/nvfp4_experts_only_mse-kv_fp8_cast.yaml, nvidia/Qwen3.5-397B-A17B/ptq/nvfp4_experts_mse-fp8_rest-kv_fp8.yaml) resolve their kind through the base recipe, and both bases carry a schema comment above the first YAML line.
  • The new $import branch in _is_recipe_file does not sweep config snippets into the hook: no in-tree file other than the two aliases has a top-level $import, and snippet schema comments do not match the recipe-class name pattern.
  • The Nemotron mtp.* disable pattern matches the canonical spelling in configs/ptq/units/default_disabled_quantizers.yaml.
  • peek_declared_schema is the only new public symbol; its sole caller is modelopt/recipe/loader.py, and it is not exported from any package init.
  • No consumers of metadata.recipe_type remain outside modelopt/recipe/, so making it optional does not break other packages.
  • Both prior-review findings are resolved by 1cc02bf: the phantom -kv_fp16 doc rows are gone (with test_documented_recipe_paths_resolve now guarding that class of bug), and _is_recipe_file recognizes delegating aliases.

Non-blocking merge note

Current main adds a 26th general/ptq/ recipe (nvfp4_default-kv_none-local_hessian.yaml) that this branch predates, while this PR sets modelopt_recipes/ptq.md to "All 25". After rebase/merge, that line and test_general_ptq_recipe_count_in_ptq_md will need the count bumped back to 26.

Coverage

92 files changed. Opened and reviewed: all three modelopt/ files (recipe/config.py, recipe/loader.py, torch/opt/config_loader.py), tools/precommit/check_modelopt_recipes.py, both new alias recipes and both alias bases, the three Nemotron MTP recipes, model_type/vit/ptq/fp8.yaml, model_type/qwen3_6_moe/ptq/w4a4_...mcore.yaml, the general/qad/ + general/auto_quantize/ + timm/ + Muse-Glimmer-30B headers, both test files, and all docs (docs/source/guides/10_recipes.rst, modelopt_recipes/models/README.md, modelopt_recipes/ptq.md, CHANGELOG.rst).

Deliberately not opened individually: the remaining ~60 files whose only change is adding the one-line schema comment. test_load_recipe_all_builtins and test_shipped_modelopt_schema_comments_are_in_the_preamble cover that class mechanically. examples/ is untouched by this PR.

Caveat: the local origin/main is ahead of this PR's actual base, so a two-dot diff also surfaced unrelated drift (the modelopt/torch/quantization/ files config.py / mode.py / model_calib.py, the local-hessian recipe and doc deletions, tests/unit/torch/quantization/test_config_validation.py). Those hunks were cross-checked against the PR's authoritative per-file addition/deletion counts and excluded from review.

Risk assessment

Low. The change is confined to recipe kind resolution and loading. No modelopt_state, mode registration, restore/convert entrypoint, or export path is touched; no plugin is hard-imported. The schema change is backward compatible in the safe direction — metadata.recipe_type becomes optional and is cross-checked against the class's RECIPE_TYPE, so existing recipes that still set it keep loading and a mismatch now fails loudly instead of silently picking a kind. The riskiest new surface is the delegation walk in _peek_recipe_type, and it is cycle-guarded with a test.

Claude review passed — no blocking issues found. LGTM

shengliangxu and others added 2 commits September 17, 2026 23:23
The merge brought in three new recipes; two still carried the deprecated
metadata.recipe_type. general/ptq/nvfp4_default-kv_none-local_hessian declared
nothing else, so it also gets the schema comment; the Qwen3.8-27B local-hessian
recipe already had one, leaving the field redundant. Both load unchanged
(RecipeType.PTQ, 27 and 11 quant_cfg entries), and the tree is back to zero uses
of the deprecated field.

The third file, models/Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B/ptq/nvfp4_w4a4_mlp_fp8_attn_max.yaml, is
left alone: it is a QuantizeConfig fragment rather than a recipe, so it correctly
declares a non-recipe schema and neither the loader nor the pre-commit hook
treats it as one.

This is the third merge in a row to reintroduce recipe_type, which is what the
deprecation costs until the field is actually removed.

Directory recipes still require metadata.yml to set recipe_type. Mark the field optional for single-file recipes, or scope “Yes” to directory-format metadata.yml; do not remove the directory requirement.

`test_documented_recipe_paths_resolve` fails on the windows runners with

    UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x8f in position 16922

`path.read_text()` with no `encoding=` decodes using the locale codepage, which is
cp1252 there and UTF-8 on every machine any of us develop on -- so the docs this
test scans, which contain non-ASCII, decode fine locally and fail only on Windows.

Found by CI on this branch rather than by inspection. It is the only encoding-less
text read left under `tests/unit/recipe/` or `tools/precommit/`.

Three review suggestions, all correct.

**The delegation-cycle error pointed at the wrong fix.** When two recipes delegate
to each other, `_peek_recipe_type` walked the `$import` chain, hit the `_seen`
guard and returned `None` -- indistinguishable from "nothing declared anywhere".
The author then got a message whose third remedy is "delegate to a recipe that
does", which is exactly what they had already done. `_peek_recipe_type` now
records the edge that closed the cycle and `_load_recipe_from_file` reports it by
name. Recorded rather than raised, deliberately: another `$import` may still
resolve the kind, and a cycle that does not prevent resolution is not worth
mentioning. Verified both paths -- the cycle case names the cycle and drops the
generic advice, the plain "nothing declared" case keeps the old message unchanged.

**The precommit hook's comments no longer described the hook.** The schema-comment
branch in `_is_recipe_file` is checked before the `_SUPPORTED_RECIPE_TYPES` gate,
so a recipe declaring a schema is validated whether or not its kind is in that set
-- `auto_quantize` is absent from it and is now validated anyway. That widening is
fine (`load_recipe` handles it), but the comment said the set decides what the hook
validates, and the `_is_recipe_file` docstring told the next person to extend the
set for a new kind, which is no longer how it works. Both now say the set gates
only the deprecated `metadata.recipe_type` path.

`_declares_recipe_schema` claimed to read "the comment preamble". It searches the
whole file: the loader's `_parse_modelopt_schema` breaks at the first non-comment
line, this does not. The divergence is deliberate and benign -- a file with the
comment below its body is a recipe to the hook and not to the loader, so the hook
hands it over and `load_recipe` rejects it with a real message instead of the file
being skipped in silence -- but the docstring should say so rather than imply the
two agree.

**The changelog carried backfill policy.** "A release is only backfilled when its
model card supports a post-training quantization recipe..." is an internal
criterion a changelog reader cannot act on. Dropped from the entry and moved to
`modelopt_recipes/models/README.md`, under a heading someone hunting a missing
checkpoint will actually reach.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.

Nudge: the delegation feature itself is well built and well tested, but the design choice (deprecating recipe_type across 78 files to avoid one line in an alias) isn't weighed in the PR body, and the bundled Nemotron MTP fix ships without a regression test.

Needs action:

  • Explain in the PR body why the alias couldn't simply keep metadata.recipe_type: ptq — that one inherited line is what buys the third declaration mechanism (# modelopt-schema:), the deprecation, the RECIPE_TYPE ClassVar, the delegation cycle guard and a 78-file sweep.
  • Add a test that the trailing mtp.* entry actually disables the Megatron MTP quantizers in the two Nemotron-3 recipes (inline comment) — the fix relies on last-entry-wins precedence that nothing asserts.
  • Narrow the new "top-level $import ⇒ recipe" branch in tools/precommit/check_modelopt_recipes.py (inline comment); a plain snippet that extends another via top-level $import would now be handed to load_recipe.
  • Pass encoding="utf-8" to the read_text() calls in modelopt/recipe/loader.py (inline comment), matching the Windows cp1252 note you added in test_recipe_docs.py.
  • Consider splitting the unrelated Nemotron MTP bug fix out of this 94-file change.

No action needed:

  • Recipe-kind sweep verified: every file that lost recipe_type already carries (or gains) a schema comment or delegates to one.

Comment thread tools/precommit/check_modelopt_recipes.py
Comment thread modelopt/recipe/loader.py
**The loader read recipes with the locale encoding.** Both `read_text()` calls in
`modelopt/recipe/loader.py` now pin `encoding="utf-8"`. Thirteen shipped recipes
contain non-ASCII, and the failure is worse than the crash the reviewer predicted:
under cp1252 none of the thirteen raise, they decode to mojibake silently, and for
two of them -- both Nemotron-3-Super recipes added by this PR -- the corruption
lands in parsed *values* rather than in a comment the YAML parser discards. Only an
ascii locale raises.

Two tests guard it. A behavioural one, that non-ASCII in a description survives a
round trip. And a source-level one asserting no text read in the loader omits
`encoding=`, because a behavioural test cannot catch this on our UTF-8 CI -- there
the locale encoding *is* utf-8, so a bare read behaves identically and the test
passes whether or not the bug is present. Verified by reverting each fix and
watching the guard name the exact line.

**The precommit hook claimed reusable snippets.** Treating any dict with a
top-level `$import` as a recipe also matches a snippet that extends another snippet
-- the shape `child.yml` takes in `test_import_cross_file_same_name_no_conflict` --
and the hook would then hand it to `load_recipe`, which rejects it with "does not
say what kind of recipe it is". A confusing way to learn a fragment was never meant
to be a recipe. The `$import` branch now skips files declaring a non-recipe schema,
which is exactly what a snippet is: all 78 files under `modelopt_recipes/configs/`
declare `QuantizerAttributeConfig`, `LayerPatternList` and friends, and none
declares a recipe schema. Checked that the two real delegating aliases are still
validated and that no `configs/` snippet is now claimed.

**The MTP disable was asserted nowhere.** `mtp.*` works only because it is last and
because an unanchored prefix matches the Megatron-Core names; the shipped-recipe
tests only smoke-load. Both recipes now have a test resolving the effective enable
state in list order -- `any(fnmatch(...))` over enabled patterns, as the neighbouring
tests do, would pass even with the entry moved to the top -- plus a second test that
pins its position and then proves the dependency by reordering a copy and watching
the MTP quantizer come back on. Verified by moving the entry in the real recipe:
both tests fail, and pass again when restored.

Also threaded the parsed body from `_load_recipe_from_file` into `_peek_recipe_type`,
removing one redundant YAML parse per load. To be precise about what that did and did
not achieve: it removes a *parse*, not a *read* -- the file is still read three times,
once by `peek_declared_schema` for the comment preamble, once for the body, and once
by `load_config`. Collapsing those needs the raw text threaded as well. A YAMLError is
held rather than raised at the new parse so kind-resolution errors still come first,
as they did when the peek owned the only parse.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.

Nudge: every critical item from the last round is fixed and verified in the diff, but the MTP regression test skips one of the three recipes the fix touches, and the 94-file scope still merits an owner call.

Needs action:

  • Add models/nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Ultra-550B-A55B-BF16/ptq/nvfp4-4o6 to _NEMOTRON_3_SUPER_RECIPES in tests/unit/recipe/test_loader.py — it gained the same trailing mtp.* entry but no order-dependence test.
  • Confirm the Nemotron MTP bug fix and the 78-file recipe_type sweep belong in this PR, or split them out so the delegation feature lands on its own.

No action needed:

  • ✔️ Resolved since the last review: the MTP last-entry-wins tests (including the reorder proof), the snippet-vs-alias $import branch in check_modelopt_recipes.py, encoding="utf-8" on loader reads plus an AST guard, and the phantom -kv_fp16 doc rows.
  • Design question reads as settled: this extends the existing in-repo $import config composition in modelopt/torch/opt/config_loader.py rather than adding a second mechanism, and the body explains why recipe_type could not be inherited.

…three

The review asked for the Nemotron-3-Ultra recipe to be added to the hardcoded
list. Discovering the set instead, because the list is the defect: the entry is
copied into each recipe that needs it, so the failure mode is a new recipe gaining
one and nobody updating the test -- which is what happened, and it was caught by a
reviewer rather than by CI.

The sweep also found a fourth recipe the review did not name:
`NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-BF16/ptq/w4a16_nvfp4_4o6`. Four recipes are
now covered, not three.

Scoping this took two wrong turns, both worth recording because each looked right:

Selecting by **position** ("quant_cfg ends with mtp.*") means a recipe whose entry
is moved off the end quietly drops out of the parameter set and stops being tested
rather than failing. Verified: with that filter, moving the entry to the front of
the Ultra recipe turned 9 passed into 7 passed -- no failure, just less coverage.
That is the silent-skip trap `test_ptq_recipes_are_discovered` exists to catch.

Selecting by **presence** sweeps in ~114 recipes, because `load_recipe` resolves
`$import` and many recipes inherit an `mtp.*` entry from
`configs/ptq/units/default_disabled_quantizers`. For those the entry is inert --
nothing else in the recipe matches an `mtp.` name -- so the assertions are vacuous.
An earlier raw-YAML scan found only four precisely because it read the files before
import resolution.

So the filter asks what the recipe would do *without* the entry: it qualifies only
where removing it would leave the MTP block quantized. A misplaced entry still
qualifies, and then fails. Verified both directions -- moving the entry to the front
of the Ultra recipe now fails the two tests naming that recipe, and restoring it
returns the suite to 9 passed.

The assertions are also recipe-agnostic now, comparing each `backbone.` counterpart
against the recipe's own behaviour with the entry removed rather than against a
fixed True. That is what lets the weight-only w4a16 Lightning recipe share them with
the full W/A ones, and it states the real invariant: the entry changes the MTP names
and nothing else.

Both items, in 6f11724 — one done, one for @shengliangxu rather than me.

MTP test coverage — done, and the set is bigger than three.

I discovered the set instead of adding Ultra to the list, because the list is the defect: the entry is copied into each recipe that needs it, so the failure mode is a new recipe gaining one and nobody updating the test. That is exactly what happened here, and it was caught by you rather than by CI.

The sweep found a fourth recipe the nudge did not name: models/nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-BF16/ptq/w4a16_nvfp4_4o6. So four recipes are covered now.

Scoping it took two wrong turns, both of which looked correct and are worth recording:

  • Selecting by position ("ends with mtp.*") means a recipe whose entry is moved off the end quietly leaves the parameter set and stops being tested instead of failing. Measured: with that filter, moving the entry to the front of the Ultra recipe turned 9 passed into 7 passed — no failure, just silently less coverage. That is the trap test_ptq_recipes_are_discovered exists to catch, and I had walked straight into it.
  • Selecting by presence sweeps in ~114 recipes, because load_recipe resolves $import and many inherit an mtp.* entry from configs/ptq/units/default_disabled_quantizers. For those the entry is inert — nothing else in the recipe matches an mtp. name — so the assertions are vacuous. My earlier raw-YAML scan found only four precisely because it read the files before import resolution, which is also why "three recipes" and "four recipes" can both look right depending on where you count.

So the filter asks what the recipe would do without the entry, and qualifies only where removing it would leave the MTP block quantized. A misplaced entry still qualifies, and then fails. Verified both directions: moving the entry to the front of the Ultra recipe fails the two tests naming that recipe, and restoring it returns the suite to 9 passed.

The assertions are recipe-agnostic now — each backbone. counterpart is compared against the recipe's own behaviour with the entry removed, rather than against a fixed True. That is what lets the weight-only w4a16 Lightning recipe share them with the full W/A ones, and it states the actual invariant: the entry changes the MTP names and nothing else.

94-file scope — not my call.

I am not going to decide whether the Nemotron MTP fix and the recipe_type sweep ship here or split out; that is @shengliangxu's, and I have flagged it to him. For whatever it is worth to that decision, the sweep is mechanical (removing a key this PR deprecates, which is why it is 78 files and not 78 decisions) and the MTP fix is a one-line entry per recipe, so splitting is cheap if you want the delegation feature to land alone. Say the word and I will do it.

Every recipe this PR touches already existed on main. Three of them were also
getting a behavioural fix -- a trailing ``mtp.*`` disable, stopping the broad
``*mixer.*`` patterns from quantizing the MTP block on the Megatron-Core path --
which has nothing to do with the ``$import`` delegation this PR is named for. It
is out, along with its tests and its changelog entry.

Removed:

* the ``mtp.*`` entry and its comment from Nemotron-3-Super ``nvfp4-mse`` and
  ``nvfp4-max-calib``, and Nemotron-3-Ultra ``nvfp4-4o6``
* the MTP test block from ``tests/unit/recipe/test_loader.py``, which existed only
  to cover that fix
* the changelog entry describing it

Those three recipes now differ from main by exactly one line each way: the
``recipe_type`` key out, the ``# modelopt-schema:`` comment in.

Audited the rest rather than assuming: of the 82 modified recipes, 81 differ from
main only by that swap. The one exception is ``model_type/vit/ptq/fp8.yaml``, which
also gains a ``description``, and that is required rather than incidental -- its
``metadata`` block held nothing but ``recipe_type``, and the loader rejects an
empty ``metadata`` outright. So it is part of the same mechanical change.

Note the Nemotron-3.5-Lightning recipe keeps its ``mtp.*`` entry: it is
pre-existing on main, untouched here, and only the ``recipe_type`` swap applies.

Scope item resolved, in 632e8ef — the MTP fix is out of this PR entirely.

@shengliangxu's call, and the reasoning is narrower than "94 files is a lot": every recipe this PR touches already exists on main. Three of them were also receiving a behavioural change — the trailing mtp.* disable — which has nothing to do with $import delegation. A PR named for a composition feature should not quietly alter what three shipped recipes quantize.

Removed:

  • the mtp.* entry from Nemotron-3-Super nvfp4-mse and nvfp4-max-calib, and Nemotron-3-Ultra nvfp4-4o6
  • the MTP test block from tests/unit/recipe/test_loader.py — it existed only to cover that fix, so it leaves with it
  • the changelog entry describing it

Those three now differ from main by exactly one line each way: recipe_type out, # modelopt-schema: in.

That also moots your first item. The recipe your comment was anchored to no longer carries the entry in this PR, so there is nothing here to add NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Ultra-550B-A55B-BF16/ptq/nvfp4-4o6 to. The fix and its tests will come back as their own PR, where the test parametrization is a live question again — and worth saying now, because it does not survive in the diff: when I did write that test, discovering the affected recipes rather than listing them turned up a fourth, NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-BF16/ptq/w4a16_nvfp4_4o6, which already has the entry on main. Whoever picks up the follow-up should start from four, not three.

I audited the rest rather than assuming the three were the only ones: of the 82 modified recipes, 81 differ from main only by the recipe_type→schema swap. The single exception is model_type/vit/ptq/fp8.yaml, which also gains a description — and that one is required rather than incidental, because its metadata block contained nothing but recipe_type and the loader rejects an empty metadata outright. I checked that rather than inferring it.

The Nemotron-3.5-Lightning recipe keeps its mtp.*: pre-existing on main, untouched here, only the recipe_type swap applies.

Still in, since none of it changes recipe semantics: the encoding="utf-8" loader fix with its two guards, the snippet-vs-alias $import branch in the precommit hook, and the delegation-cycle error message.

Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.

Both open items from the last round are resolved — the Nemotron MTP fix (and its tests) is split out entirely, so this PR is now just the $import delegation feature, the recipe_type sweep and the two aliases; a human still has to sign off on the 94-file scope.

Needs action:

  • Sign off as a human on the size (94 files, +1205/-126) — the change is correct and well tested, but the mechanical 78-file sweep is beyond bot approval.
  • Flip the recipe_type row from Yes to No (or scope it to directory recipes) in the metadata table at docs/source/guides/10_recipes.rst:393-395 — it contradicts the paragraph two lines above it, and is the one CodeRabbit comment still open.
  • Update the PR body: the "One fix" / Nemotron MTP section and the changelog bug-fix claim no longer match the diff.

No action needed:

  • ✔️ Resolved since the last review: the MTP test parametrization (mooted — the mtp.* entries are gone from all three Nemotron recipes, which now differ from main only by the schema-comment swap) and the 94-file scope question (MTP fix split out in 632e8ef1a).
  • The MTP tests removed were added earlier in this same PR, so no pre-existing coverage is lost.
  • Two new alias YAMLs carry the canonical LICENSE_HEADER text verbatim; no licensing concern.
