The SYH DeepGEMM pick raised the global sglang-kernel runtime guard to 0.4.3, but this deployment and pyproject intentionally use sglang-kernel 0.4.0 while DeepGEMM compatibility is handled by the deep_gemm_wrapper import/call path and tai-provided runtime pieces. A global 0.4.3 guard blocks startup before those targeted checks can run.\n\nConstraint: Do not update pyproject.toml because local and remote environments intentionally differ.\nRejected: pip install sglang-kernel --force-reinstall | mutates the remote environment and conflicts with the pinned project environment.\nRejected: keep a global 0.4.3 guard | blocks the current CUDA deployment despite pyproject requiring 0.4.0.\nConfidence: medium\nScope-risk: narrow\nDirective: Do not raise this global guard without also updating the environment contract and pyproject together; feature-specific wheel/API checks belong near their import/call sites.\nTested: local py_compile for python/sglang/srt/entrypoints/engine.py; remote py_compile in g0034 container; remote installed sglang-kernel version confirmed as 0.4.0.\nNot-tested: full launch_server restart after the guard change.
