[SUGGESTION] The and not all(isinstance(...)) clause in this comprehension can never be false here, so it is a dead condition.
This block only runs inside if not modules:, and modules is built from _is_gdn_module == _has_supported_gdn_identity(...) and <both tensors present>. So if modules is empty, any module that passes _has_supported_gdn_identity necessarily failed the tensor check — the second half of the predicate is always True. It also re-implements the tensor check that now lives in _is_gdn_module, so the two can drift (e.g. if _is_gdn_module later also requires a floating-point dtype, this branch's message would become wrong).
Suggested simplification:
if not modules:
missing_decay_parameters = [
name or "<root>"
for name, module in named_modules
if _has_supported_gdn_identity(module, supported_classes)
]Behavior is identical, and the tensor predicate stays in one place.
Separately (not a regression, pre-existing): when some GDN modules have the tensors and one does not, the one without is silently dropped from the policy rather than reported here. That is self-consistent with validate_dasc_model_structure (both use the same filter), so it fails safe — just worth being deliberate about.

Addressed in #2384. Supported identities are now collected once and every matched identity is checked for A_log and dt_bias before any layer is accepted. The duplicated dead predicate is removed, and a mixed valid-plus-malformed model test proves the malformed layer cannot be silently omitted.

[SUGGESTION] This docstring is now stale: the function no longer bounds "one storage cast". _storage_rounding_radius composes the declared-storage cast with the live-materialization cast, which is the whole point of this PR, and a reader who trusts the docstring will mis-read why two inversions are applied.
| """Bound horizons compatible with the current parameters before one storage cast.""" | |
| """Bound horizons compatible with the current parameters across the declared storage and live casts.""" |
Also worth double-checking the ordering intent is documented somewhere: reversed(cast_dtypes) inverts tensor.dtype first and storage_dtype second, which is correct only because the observed value is round_live(round_storage(x)). That is subtle enough that the reversal deserves the one-line explanation, either here or in _storage_rounding_radius.

[SUGGESTION] The rejection message a few lines below ("DASC policy horizons do not match current decay parameters in layer {name!r}") doesn't mention the tolerance that produced it, which makes the new strict-FP32 default hard to diagnose.
Before this PR the bound unconditionally granted FP16+BF16 slack; now a policy that omits decay_parameter_storage_dtype gets FP32-only slack. The most likely real-world failure is exactly that: someone calibrated with the default, saved the checkpoint in BF16, and now sees "horizons do not match current decay parameters" with no hint that a config knob controls the tolerance — and since restore_dasc_model requires config and policy to agree on the field, the only remedy is recalibration. Naming the declared dtype turns a dead end into a self-service fix:
raise ApplyModeError(
f"DASC policy horizons do not match current decay parameters in layer {name!r} "
f"within the declared {policy.decay_parameter_storage_dtype} storage and "
f"{modules[name].A_log.dtype} live rounding bounds"
)The math itself checks out: for the documented flow (declare the checkpoint dtype, then round-trip) the composed bound covers the true error in every combination I traced — fp32→bf16→fp32, fp32→fp16→fp16, fp32→fp16→bf16, and the dedup case where storage equals the live dtype.

[SUGGESTION] The allowed dtype set is now spelled out in three places that must stay in lockstep: this Literal, the identical Literal on DASCConfig.decay_parameter_storage_dtype (line 89), and _STORAGE_DTYPES in policy.py. If a future dtype is added to either Literal but not to the dict, _STORAGE_DTYPES[policy.decay_parameter_storage_dtype] raises a bare KeyError from inside validate_dasc_decay_parameters / build_dasc_policy instead of a config-validation error — a drift that pydantic can't catch.
A single alias in config.py used by both fields removes two of the three copies:
DecayParameterStorageDtype = Literal["float16", "bfloat16", "float32"]and policy.py can then key _STORAGE_DTYPES off typing.get_args(DecayParameterStorageDtype) (or simply assert the sets match at import) so the mapping cannot silently fall behind.

Claude review passed — no blocking issues found. LGTM
Scope: full review of the 5 changed files (modelopt/torch/sparsity/state_sparsity/{config,conversion,policy}.py, tests/unit/torch/sparsity/state_sparsity/test_dasc.py, docs/source/guides/6_sparsity.rst). Base is the stacked feature branch feature/dasc-state-sparsity-storage-roundtrip, so this is unreleased code — no shipped checkpoints are at risk.
Findings: CRITICAL 0 · IMPORTANT 0 · SUGGESTION 4
policy.py:135-143— theand not all(isinstance(...))half of themissing_decay_parameterspredicate is a dead condition insideif not modules:, and duplicates the tensor check that now lives in_is_gdn_module.policy.py:259—_storage_cast_horizon_boundsdocstring still says "before one storage cast"; it now composes two.policy.py:435— the horizon-mismatchApplyModeErrordoesn't name the declared storage dtype, which is the one thing a user hitting the new strict-FP32 default needs to know.config.py:209— the dtypeLiteralis now duplicated twice inconfig.pyplus once as_STORAGE_DTYPESinpolicy.py; drift surfaces as a bareKeyErrorrather than a validation error.
What I verified and found correct
- Rounding-bound composition.
_storage_rounding_radiusinverts in the right order:reversed((storage_dtype, tensor.dtype))undoes the live-materialization cast first, then the storage cast, which matchesv = round_live(round_storage(x)). The bound covers the true error in every chain I traced (fp32→bf16→fp32,fp32→fp16→fp16,fp32→fp16→bf16,bf16→fp16→fp32), and the dedup collapse when storage equals the live dtype stays conservative rather than tight.smallest_subnormal = tiny * epsis the correct subnormal for fp16/bf16/fp32. Using the magnitude radius symmetrically around signedA_log/dt_biasis conservative in the downward direction, and the horizonlower/upperassignment matches the monotonicity of-log(eps)/(exp(A_log)·softplus(dt_bias+gate)). - Moved dtype guard. Dropping the
ApplyModeErrorfrom_storage_rounding_radiusin favour of theValueErrorincompute_gdn_decay_horizonsdoes not weaken the restore path: bothbuild_dasc_policyandvalidate_dasc_decay_parameterscall_analyze_gdn_modulesfirst, which wraps thatValueErrorback intoApplyModeError, so non-floating decay tensors still fail closed before anytorch.finfocall. - State round-trip / backward compatibility. The new field is additive with a default on both
DASCConfigandDASCPolicy,restore_dasc_model's config↔policy equality check agrees when both sides fall back to"float32", and the legacy-state test that deletes the key from both the config and the metadata policy proves old state still loads. The re-derivation ofdecay_parameters_sha256under the declared dtype is safe because nothing ever recomputes or compares that digest — it is provenance-only, as thevalidate_dasc_decay_parametersdocstring states. - Test tightening. Shrinking the tamper factor from
1.01to1.0001still sits ~3 orders of magnitude above the FP32 bound (~1.2e-7), so the test remains meaningful under the narrower default tolerance.
Risk: low. The change narrows a validation tolerance and threads one new declarative field through config, provenance, restore, and docs; the behavioral effect is strictly fail-closed, and the new cross-dtype test exercises the composed bound directly.

Validate all supported GDN modules before filtering valid modules.
_get_gdn_modules checks missing_decay_parameters only when its valid-module collection is empty. A model with one valid supported GDN and one supported GDN missing A_log or dt_bias therefore calibrates and exports a policy containing only the valid module. Move this validation before if not modules, and add a mixed-model test.
