FP8 flashmla_sparse uses flattened RAGGED page tables that include both cached prefix and the just-computed current suffix. The old cache-hit path materialized the whole flattened range from persistent KV, which could read current rows through the wrong contract under CP shared-KV and compute padding.\n\nThis change makes the RAGGED path use the page-slot partial-current compose contract: prefix pages are materialized from cache slots while current rows are sourced from fresh k/k_rope and packed for FP8 when needed. A new helper accepts the actual current-row contracts seen by attention code: already-local valid rows, CP-local compute-padded rows, or unsplit global valid rows.\n\nConstraint: CP shared-KV stores and consumes cache at page granularity, while attention current rows may be valid-token tensors rather than cache-write local compute rows.\nRejected: Full materialize prefix+current from persistent KV | it can read current suffix through stale or unordered persistent cache state.\nRejected: Reuse select_cp_local_valid_rows_for_cache_write directly | it only accepts CP-local compute-padded rows and killed prefill when RAGGED supplied global valid rows.\nConfidence: medium\nScope-risk: moderate\nDirective: Do not route RAGGED FP8 cache-hit current suffix through full materialize without proving current write ordering and row-contract compatibility.\nTested: Local py_compile for touched runtime/test files.\nTested: Remote container pytest for RAGGED current compose and compute-padding global-current row selection.\nNot-tested: Full GSM8K warm-cache ETE after restart.
