CP shared KV and HiCache now keep page-aligned physical ownership while preserving valid-token radix semantics. Repeated tiny EAGLE exact hits free duplicate tail pages instead of leaking one allocator page, owner-lane load-back uses page-vector admission/eviction, and single-DP idle schedulers avoid entering an unnecessary MLP-sync collective. The commit also records the current page-aligned cache contract and adds gated decode-side EAGLE accept diagnostics so future accept-length collapses can be tied to draft KV/state transfer evidence instead of more prefill cache speculation. Constraint: CP HiCache allocator ownership is page-granular while radix matching remains valid-token based. Constraint: New diagnostics must be gated and must not alter normal EAGLE, transfer, or cache behavior. Rejected: Padding short requests to cp_size or 2*cp_size pages | wastes KV capacity and still hides valid-tail lifecycle bugs. Rejected: Adding more unconditional collectives to prove CP consistency | hot-path collectives previously caused severe performance risk. Confidence: medium Scope-risk: broad Directive: Do not reintroduce silent fallback for CP shared KV/HiCache paths; warning-level fallback or fail-fast is intentional.
