Bot review (claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Nicely scoped follow-up (~300 core-logic lines, well tested), but log_active_run_experiment_json uses the fluent mlflow.log_text, which starts a brand-new run on the already-closed path this PR explicitly supports.
Needs action:
- Log the artifact through
MlflowClient().log_text(run.info.run_id, ...)inmodelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py—mlflow.log_textcalls_get_or_start_run(), so thelast_active_run()branch silently opens a second run. See inline comment. - Extend the
ForeignMlflowfake intests/unit/torch/utils/test_mlflow.pyto fail if a run is started, so the closed-run path is actually covered. - Tighten
record_checkpoint_provenanceinexamples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py:checkpoint_dir.is_dir()is true on any resumed run, so a run that dies before its first save stamps a previous run's checkpoint. See inline comment. - Replace the
if tool is DISTILLidentity check inadd_mlflow_argswith aToolfield (e.g.log_checkpoints_flag: bool = False), so the per-script differences all live in one place.
No action needed:
- Existing test updates are all signature/refactor follow-through (
_run_tags/_run_outputsfolded intoTool), coverage intact.

Claude review — 1 CRITICAL, 2 IMPORTANT, 2 SUGGESTION
Full review (scope: /claude review with no extra instructions). 9 files changed (+517/−86); reviewed all of modelopt/, examples/ and both test files, plus the README.md and CHANGELOG.rst diffs.
The refactor itself is clean: collapsing three copies of the wiring into one Tool record per script is the right call, and the decision not to open a competing run in distill.py — letting Megatron-Bridge’s LoggerConfig own it — is well reasoned and well documented, as is keeping mlflow_log_artifacts off by default. The findings are all in the new provenance-pointer path.
Most impactful
1. log_active_run_experiment_json uploads its artifact to a brand-new run when the real run has already closed (modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py:779) — CRITICAL. mlflow.log_text is the fluent API, so it resolves its target through _get_or_start_run(); with mlflow.active_run() returning None, that starts a run rather than reusing the one last_active_run() just returned. That is precisely the state the last_active_run() fallback was added for (Megatron-Bridge sys.exit()s from inside train()), so on the documented main path every QAD job leaves a spurious empty run and attaches experiment.json to it, while the on-disk pointer names the real run. Nothing raises, and the stubbed ForeignMlflow.log_text in the new test cannot see it. Fix: go through MlflowClient().log_text(run_id=..., ...).
2. record_checkpoint_provenance never clears a stale pointer (examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py:237) — IMPORTANT. quantize.py and the export get this for free from track_run’s untracked branch; this path returns early instead. Since distill.py passes load=checkpoint_dir and a reused --output_dir is the normal Slurm-requeue flow, an untracked re-run — or a tracked one where mlflow is absent or the server unreachable — leaves the earlier run’s .experiment.json claiming the new weights, contradicting the invariant log_experiment_json documents.
3. QAD runs get MLflow’s auto-generated run name, not the documented UTC timestamp (examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py:223) — IMPORTANT. The timestamp default lives in MlflowRunLogger.start, which distill.py never reaches, so mlflow_run_name=None is what Megatron-Bridge receives. Both the --mlflow_run_name help text registered on all three parsers and the README line this PR edits promise the UTC start time.
Two SUGGESTIONs are inline: the consumed Megatron checkpoint appears in no tag, so the PTQ→QAD→export chain is joinable only via the on-disk pointer rather than a server-side tag query; and record_checkpoint_provenance’s “no checkpoint to point at” claim does not hold for a resumed --output_dir.
Verified as correct
DISTILL.checkpointmatchesdistill.py’scheckpoint_dir = os.path.join(args.output_dir, "checkpoints").dist.is_last_process()exists and is global-rank based, matching where Megatron-Bridge opens the run; the process group is still alive where thefinallyruns.- The
finallyplacement is right —sys.exit()raisesSystemExit, which propagates through it. log_active_run_experiment_json’s JSON keys matchMlflowRunLogger.run_infoexactly, so consumers see one format.resolved_recipe_texts(getattr(args, "recipe", None))correctly tolerates the export’s missing--recipe;_NON_PARAM_ARGSand theprint_args(masked_args(args))/checkpoint_exportedordering are consistent across both single-pass scripts.logger_kwargsreturning{}when untracked does keep an older Megatron-Bridge working, as the PR body claims.
Minor, not raised inline
distill.py --hf_export_path writes a second, deployable HF checkpoint (export_llm_to_hf / save_vlm_to_hf) that gets neither a pointer nor stale-pointer cleanup. Arguably out of scope given export_quantized_megatron_to_hf.py covers the primary export path — noting it in case it was an oversight.
Risk
Moderate. The behavioural blast radius is examples-only, and the single library change is additive (log_active_run_experiment_json is new; nothing else calls it) with no modelopt_state, mode-registration or config-schema surface touched, so there is no checkpoint or public-API compatibility risk. Finding 1 is worth fixing before merge because it writes to the tracking server on the default path and fails silently.

On the minor point raised but not filed inline — It is not a two-line addition. That branch does: is_rank_0 = dist.rank() == 0
dist.cleanup() # process group destroyed; export_ckpt makes its own

export_llm_to_hf(...)So the rank that writes the checkpoint is rank 0, while Megatron-Bridge owns the MLflow run on the last rank — and after Happy to do it as a follow-up if you'd rather it not wait. For the record, everything else from both review rounds is now in 🤖 Generated with Claude Code |

Re-review: the spurious-run bug is gone and the other five threads are properly closed, but the chosen fix uses a log_text(..., run_id=) kwarg that does not exist at the declared mlflow-skinny>=2.9 floor.
Needs action:
- 💬 Author replied "verified against the installed client" — the floor in
pyproject.tomlismlflow-skinny>=2.9, where fluentlog_text(text, artifact_file)takes norun_id. UseMlflowClient().log_text(run_id, text, artifact_file)(works on every version) or raise the floor. See inline onmodelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py:808. - Add a regression that a

Claude review — 0 CRITICAL, 2 IMPORTANT, 3 SUGGESTION
Full review (scope: /claude review with no extra instructions). 9 files changed (+837/−102); reviewed all of modelopt/ and examples/, both test files, and the README.md/CHANGELOG.rst diffs — nothing skipped.
Both items the previous round flagged are genuinely fixed: MlflowClient().log_text(run_id, text, artifact_file) is positional and works at the mlflow-skinny>=2.9 floor, and source_checkpoint_path is now resolved on the same terms as the upstream checkpoint_path while leaving a Hub org/name alone — test_a_source_path_joins_whatever_the_caller_typed pins exactly the case that was broken. ForeignMlflow.start_run raising is a good way to make the closed-run path assert itself.
The two IMPORTANT findings are both new.
Most impactful
1. logger_kwargs hands Megatron-Bridge the unmasked tracking URI (examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py:236) — IMPORTANT. args.mlflow keeps any user:token@ the user passed, and that is the one thing every other path in this module redacts: _redact_argv for command.txt, the _SECRET_NAME/_redact params filter at modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py:549, run_info["tracking_uri"], print_args(masked_args(args)) in both wired scripts. By this PR's own README wording LoggerConfig records "the full resolved config as params", and the resolved config is also serialised to checkpoints/iter_*/run_config.yaml (asserted at tests/examples/megatron_bridge/test_distill.py:274) — so on the QAD path a URI-embedded token becomes a searchable MLflow param and ships inside the distilled checkpoint. The other two scripts never hand the URI to anything that serialises it, so this is specific to the new path. Either strip the credentials into MLFLOW_TRACKING_USERNAME/MLFLOW_TRACKING_PASSWORD before passing the URI, or document in the DISTILL help text and the README that distill.py needs them from the environment.
2. log_active_run_experiment_json leaves a stale pointer when it cannot read the run (modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py:806) — IMPORTANT. The run is None branch four lines up calls drop_experiment_json; this one returns after a warning. Both this docstring and log_experiment_json's promise the pointer beside a saved checkpoint is "this run's or absent -- never a previous run's". The reachable case is the ordinary requeue flow: distill.py points load at the same <output_dir>/checkpoints, so a resumed run starts with the previous run's .experiment.json there, and record_checkpoint_provenance has already proven the marker moved. A server that goes away between the last save and this call therefore leaves a pointer misnaming the author of the new weights — a wrong answer rather than no answer. test_recording_the_active_run_never_fails_the_job covers this path but starts from an empty directory, so it cannot see it.
Three SUGGESTIONs are inline: default_run_name() evaluated per-rank so run_config.yaml can name a run name that does not exist; --mlflow_log_checkpoints registered in the underscored spelling only, against the dual-spelling convention the sibling flags document; and two _run_inputs monkeypatch stubs left at the old one-argument signature.
Verified as correct
checkpoint_markerreadslatest_checkpointed_iteration.txt, which Megatron-Bridge really does write after distillation —tests/examples/megatron_bridge/test_qad.py:110asserts it on the distilled checkpoint, so the marker-moved gate is not silently always-false.- The marker gate itself is sound: read before
distill(), compared after, so a resumed run that died before its own first save leaves the inherited checkpoint and its pointer alone.test_no_pointer_when_this_run_saved_nothingwalks all three states. dist.is_last_process()is global-rank based (rank() == size() - 1) and the default process group is still alive where thefinallyruns — confirmed bydistill.py's own "Save rank before destroying process group" comment in the--hf_export_pathbranch, which is the first place the group goes away. So exactly one rank writes the pointer; there is no all-ranks-look-like-rank-0 fanout where a non-owning rank woulddrop_experiment_jsonover the owner's write.finallyplacement is right: Megatron-Bridge'ssys.exit()from insidetrain()raisesSystemExit, which propagates through it, and thenot args.validate_onlyguard matchesskip_train=args.validate_only.Tool.checkpointforDISTILLmatchesdistill.py:384'sos.path.join(args.output_dir, "checkpoints"); every attribute the threeToolrecords read (student_hf_path,student_megatron_path,output_dir,hf_model_name_or_path,megatron_path,export_unified_hf_path) is a flag its script registers beforeresolve_mlflow_argsruns.resolve_mlflow_argsassignsargs.mlflowfrom$MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI, sologger_kwargs'sif not args.mlflowearly return does not quietly drop env-configured tracking fordistill.py— and it guaranteesmlflow_experimentis non-Nonewhenever the dict is non-empty._experiment_jsonunifies the two writers on one schema, andrun_urlno longer double-slashes;MlflowRunLogger.run_urlreading throughrun_infois not circular now thatrun_infobuilds the URL itself, and still returns""before the run opens.osis imported at module top, socheckpoint_run_tags' newos.path.existsguard is fine;from mlflow.tracking import MlflowClientand positionallog_textboth predate the 2.9 floor.args.checkpoint_exported = Falseis set afterprint_args, and_NON_PARAM_ARGSexcludes it plusmlflow_log_checkpoints, so neither reaches the params.
Risk
Moderate, and confined. The single library change is additive — log_active_run_experiment_json and default_run_name are new, and the checkpoint_run_tags(..., model=) parameter is keyword-with-default, so the existing hf_ptq caller is unaffected. No modelopt_state, mode registration, config schema or export-format surface is touched, so there is no checkpoint or public-API compatibility exposure. Finding 1 is the one I would fix before merge, because it writes a secret to durable storage on a documented invocation form and nothing surfaces it.

Claude review — 1 IMPORTANT, 2 SUGGESTION
Scope: the trigger was a bare /claude review, so this is a full review. All 9 changed files opened (small PR, +946/-104): modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py, the four examples/megatron_bridge/ files, both test files, README, CHANGELOG. This is the first Claude pass on the PR — no prior findings to reconcile. Reviewed against the stacked base kmorabia/mbridge-quantize-mlflow (two-dot diff, since the checkout is shallow).
Findings
| No. | Severity | Where | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | IMPORTANT Compatibility | examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py:280-287 |
A tracked QAD run that cannot find Megatron-Bridge’s run writes no pointer, prints nothing, and deletes the pointer it inherited |
| 2 | SUGGESTION | modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py:826-836 |
A transient get_experiment() failure drops a pointer whose run_id is already in memory |
| 3 | SUGGESTION | examples/megatron_bridge/README.md:129 |
"All three scripts that write a checkpoint" — four do; distill.py --hf_export_path and export_distilled_megatron_to_hf.py are uncovered |
Most impactful
Finding 1 is the one worth acting on. log_active_run_experiment_json() collapses "this job is untracked" and "tracking was requested but no run is visible on this rank" into the same quiet drop_experiment_json() + return. The second case is reachable — a Megatron-Bridge version that opens the run somewhere other than rank == world_size - 1, an mlflow client absent from the image, MLflow logging disabled inside LoggerConfig — and in it the user passed --mlflow, got no error, got no pointer, and lost the one a previous run left. For a feature whose entire purpose is "the checkpoint names the run that produced it", that failure is invisible in the job log. record_checkpoint_provenance() already has args.mlflow in hand, so telling the two cases apart is a returned bool plus a one-line warning.
The design leans on "Megatron-Bridge opens the run on the last rank". That is consistent with Megatron’s own is_last_rank() and with dist.is_last_process(), and I could not verify it from this repo (megatron.bridge is not installed in this environment), so it is not a separate finding — but it is the assumption that finding 1 would make safe to be wrong about.
What I traced and found correct
- The three-stage join keys line up.
quantize.checkpoint_path(resolved--export_megatron_path) equalsdistill.source_checkpoint_path(resolved--student_megatron_path);distill.checkpoint_path(resolved<output_dir>/checkpoints) equalsexport.source_checkpoint_path(resolved--megatron_path, which README:328 points at<output>/checkpoints). The newos.path.exists()guard incheckpoint_run_tagscorrectly leaves a Hub id likeorg/nameunresolved, andmodel=keeps themodeltag naming the model rather than the checkpoint directory for the two stages whose source is a checkpoint. dist.broadcast(default_run_name())is safe where it is called.distill.py:680runsdist.setup()beforemain(), so the default process group is initialized andtorch.cuda.set_device(local_rank())has run — the.cuda()insidebroadcastwill not collide ranks on device 0. All ranks parse identical argv, soargs.mlflow/args.mlflow_run_nameare identical and every rank takes the same branch of theor; no rank-divergent collective.- The
finallyarounddistill(config)is right, andSystemExitsurvives it.dist.abort()re-raisesSystemExitrather than swallowing it, so the--exit_intervalpath still exits cleanly after the pointer is written.record_checkpoint_provenancedoes no collective, so the last rank doing MLflow HTTP while peers unwind cannot deadlock. - The
saved_beforemarker guard holds. Fresh save, resume-then-save, and resume-then-crash all behave as documented;checkpoint_markerreads<output_dir>/checkpoints/latest_checkpointed_iteration.txt, which matchescheckpoint_diratdistill.py:384andsave=at:613. Tool.outputs = field(default=lambda args: {})does not bind as a method. The generated__init__always assigns the instance attribute (viaobject.__setattr__underfrozen=True), so the instance dict shadows the class-level function;test_the_export_tags_point_at_the_deployable_checkpointexercises this through_describe.- The refactor is behaviour-preserving.
_experiment_jsonadds a.rstrip("/")thatrun_urlpreviously lacked (strictly better — no doubled slash before#/),run_nameresolution is unchanged, and no existing test needed editing (0 deletions intest_mlflow.py). split_tracking_credentialsis the right call for the distill path. Megatron-Bridge logs its resolved config as params and serialises it intorun_config.yamlinside the checkpoint, so masking would not work and leaving the credential would make it durable in two places;os.environ.setdefaultcorrectly lets a deliberately-exported variable win.- Plugin laziness respected:
mlflowandmlflow.trackingare both imported inside the function, andmlflow_utils.pystill imports no Megatron.
No mode registration, config schema, modelopt_state, or public modelopt/torch/*/__init__.py surface is touched, so nothing here affects checkpoint restore. The only public-API change is additive — three new __all__ entries — plus a new model= parameter on checkpoint_run_tags with a backward-compatible default.
Risk: low. Confined to example scripts and one opt-in tracking utility; the optimization and export paths are untouched, and every failure mode in the new library helper is caught and warned rather than raised. Finding 1 is an observability hole in a provenance feature, not a correctness bug in anything that produces weights.

sentences, removing the implementation detail about how distill.py shares its
run with Megatron-Bridge. Retain the key information about supported scripts,
tracking URI configuration, run and checkpoint traceability, and the

last process initially enables tracking but the logger disables itself after an
unreachable URI, args.mlflow is cleared before logger_kwargs(args) is used.
Preserve args.mlflow for active or required logging.
- Around line 260-261: Update the `distill_run` finalization flow so
`logger.finish(status)` cannot send final results to a newly created MLflow run
when Megatron-Bridge has ended the active run. Check `mlflow.active_run()`
before finishing; when none is active, use the original run ID from
`logger.run_info` and `MlflowClient` to record the final metrics, text,
artifacts, and status on that run.
In `@modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py`:
- Around line 721-725: Decode the percent-encoded username and password before
exporting them in the credential extraction flow. Update the

Pass the disabled state to logger_kwargs.
When the optional MlflowRunLogger disables itself after an unreachable environment URI, args.mlflow remains set. logger_kwargs(args) therefore still gives Megatron-Bridge the failed MLflow configuration, so it can attempt the same endpoint again.

Preserve the original MLflow run after Megatron-Bridge termination.
When Megatron-Bridge handles SIGTERM, end_active_mlflow_run ends the active run before distill_run reaches its finally block. MlflowRunLogger.finish(status) only checks its stored _run, not mlflow.active_run(). It then logs metrics and artifacts through fluent MLflow calls, which can create a second run. The final log and status can therefore be separated from the training run.
Before logger.finish(status), check mlflow.active_run(). If no run is active, use logger.run_info["run_id"] with MlflowClient to upload the final metrics, text, artifacts, and status to the original run.

Decode the userinfo before exporting it as MLflow credentials.
urlparse keeps the percent-encoding of netloc. A URI must percent-encode a password that contains @, :, / or %. For example, https://svc:p%40ss@host sets MLFLOW_TRACKING_PASSWORD to p%40ss instead of p@ss.
The original MlflowRunLogger path puts the userinfo in the URL. requests decodes that userinfo (get_auth_from_url calls unquote), so authentication works there. After this split, Megatron-Bridge authenticates with the encoded string and gets a 401. In the same process, Megatron-Bridge also resets the global tracking URI to the stripped form. The final uploads from distill_run then use the wrong password too.

quantize.py was the only stage of the QAD workflow recording anything, so the provenance chain stopped at the PTQ checkpoint: neither the distilled checkpoint nor the deployable HuggingFace one named the run that wrote it. Both now take the same --mlflow flags, and mlflow_utils carries one Tool record per script rather than a copy of the wiring. distill.py reuses Megatron-Bridge's own MLflow support instead of opening a run. It is a training loop, and LoggerConfig already records the per-iteration metrics and the full resolved config, which a wrapper around main() cannot see; Megatron-Bridge also reuses an active run, so opening ours would merge into it on one GPU and duplicate it on several. We contribute the shared flags and experiment convention, the join tags, and .experiment.json -- written from the last rank, where Megatron-Bridge opens the run. Two of its defaults are deliberately not inherited: - checkpoint artifact upload stays off unless --mlflow_log_checkpoints. Megatron-Bridge turns it on, which pushes a QAD checkpoint of tens to hundreds of GB over HTTP after every save. - an untracked run passes no mlflow_* fields at all. They landed in Megatron-Bridge 0.6, and sending them unconditionally would break an untracked run on an older one for no reason. export_quantized_megatron_to_hf.py has no training loop, so it uses track_run() like quantize.py, and log_active_run_experiment_json() is the new library helper distill.py needs to point a checkpoint at a run this process did not open.

Megatron-Bridge calls sys.exit() from inside train() when --exit_interval or --exit_duration_in_mins fires -- which is how a Slurm run usually ends -- so distill() does not return and the line after it never ran. A real three-stage run caught it: the PTQ and export checkpoints carried .experiment.json and the distilled one did not. The call moves into a finally around distill(), where the checkpoint is already saved. Two supporting fixes: log_active_run_experiment_json falls back to mlflow.last_active_run(), since a caller on a shutdown path can arrive after mlflow's atexit has closed the run, and record_checkpoint_provenance stays silent when no checkpoint directory exists, which is what a run that died before its first save leaves.

Review follow-ups on the new provenance path. log_active_run_experiment_json passed no run_id to mlflow.log_text, which is the fluent API: it resolves the target through _get_or_start_run(), so on the closed-run branch -- the one the last_active_run() fallback exists for -- it opened a second run, left it RUNNING, and uploaded the artifact there while the pointer on disk named the real run. The target is now explicit, and the test fake raises if anything starts a run. It also returns without clearing a pointer when no run can be found, so an untracked re-run into a reused --output_dir kept the previous run's .experiment.json claiming its weights. It now drops it, which is the invariant track_run already gives the single-pass scripts: after a save the pointer is this run's or absent. QAD runs took MLflow's random run name, though the flag and the README promise the UTC start time -- that default lives in MlflowRunLogger.start, which distill.py never reaches. default_run_name() is now shared by both. Each run tagged the model as its source, so PTQ -> QAD -> export joined only through the pointers on disk. Tool gained a source accessor: QAD sources the PTQ checkpoint, the export sources the QAD checkpoint, and a test pins each stage's source to the previous stage's checkpoint_path. Tool also carries the checkpoint-upload flag instead of add_mlflow_args testing for DISTILL by identity.

The run_id argument to mlflow.log_text postdates this project's declared floor: pyproject.toml and examples/hf_ptq/requirements.txt both ask for mlflow-skinny>=2.9, where the fluent helper is log_text(text, artifact_file). I checked the call against the 3.15 in the container rather than against the floor, so an image at the floor would have raised TypeError. MlflowClient.log_text(run_id, text, artifact_file) has existed since 1.x and names its target either way. The surrounding try also swallowed that into a warning and skipped the disk write with it, so a failed upload cost the pointer beside the weights as well. The file is now written first and the upload warns on its own; a test drives an exploding log_text and asserts the pointer survives. checkpoint_run_tags left source_checkpoint_path as typed while resolving checkpoint_path, so a relative --student_megatron_path broke the cross-stage join the tags exist for. It is resolved on the same terms now, except when it names no directory -- a Hub model id stays as it is. Verified end to end: one run in the experiment, experiment.json attached to it, the pointer naming it, and the run named for its UTC start.

logger_kwargs handed args.mlflow through as typed. Megatron-Bridge logs its resolved config as MLflow params and serialises it into the checkpoint as run_config.yaml -- confirmed on a real run -- so a user:token@ in the URI became durable in both. Masking is not available here, since that value is also what authenticates, so split_tracking_credentials moves it into MLFLOW_TRACKING_USERNAME and MLFLOW_TRACKING_PASSWORD, which MLflow reads itself. Variables the caller already exported win. log_active_run_experiment_json also left a stale pointer when it could read no run, where the no-run-at-all branch drops it. The reachable case is a requeue: the directory already holds the previous run's pointer and the marker has already proven this run saved, so a server that goes away in between leaves a pointer naming the wrong author. It drops now too. Smaller ones from the same review: the run name is settled on one rank and broadcast, since the rank that opens the run is not the rank that writes run_config.yaml and their clocks cross second boundaries; --mlflow_log_checkpoints takes the dashed spelling its siblings take; and two test stubs match _run_inputs' two-argument signature.

log_active_run_experiment_json could not distinguish "this job is untracked, be quiet" from "tracking was asked for and no run was found on this rank", and both ended in a silent drop of whatever pointer was there. The second is reachable -- a Megatron-Bridge that opens the run on a different rank, an image without the mlflow client, logging disabled inside LoggerConfig -- and it produced the one outcome this feature exists to prevent, indistinguishable from success in the job log. The helper now reports whether it wrote a pointer, and the QAD call site warns when it did not while --mlflow was given. It also dropped the pointer when only the experiment name could not be read, though the ids, the run name and the URL all come off run.info in-process and run_id is what resolves a run. A server blip at the wrong moment now costs the display name, not the record. The README claimed all three checkpoint writers were covered. There are more: distill.py --hf_export_path and export_distilled_megatron_to_hf.py write HuggingFace checkpoints from rank 0, which is not the rank that owns the run, so they carry no pointer yet.

distill.py logged only Megatron-Bridge's flattened config, so its own arguments -- the teacher, the student checkpoint, the KD top-k, where the data came from -- appeared nowhere, and there was no command.txt or run log. A distillation run was not reproducible from its MLflow entry the way a quantization is. Not opening a run was too cautious. Megatron-Bridge takes mlflow.active_run() when one exists, applies the tags to it and logs its config and metrics there, so distill_run() opens the run on the rank Megatron-Bridge looks at -- the last one -- and the two share it. One run now carries the invocation, every argument, the log, the pointer, and the per-iteration training metrics only Megatron-Bridge can produce. Its early exit needed handling: train() leaves through sys.exit(0) on --exit_interval, which a blanket except would have recorded as FAILED. Named distill_run, not qad_run: distill.py also distills a pruned BF16 student, and the QAD wording had spread through the module, the README and the changelog entry.

prune_minitron.py and export_distilled_megatron_to_hf.py were the last
two scripts here that write a checkpoint without recording anything.
Both now take the same flags and share the experiment-name convention, so
a pruning, a quantization, the distillation that refines its checkpoint
and either export can be found together.
Each needed something the earlier three did not:
- a pruning run may write no checkpoint at all, scoring candidates and
stopping, and both of its outputs are optional. Its Tool reports None
then; checkpoint_run_tags omits checkpoint_path rather than emitting an
empty one, and track_run settles no pointer. Path("") would otherwise
have resolved to the working directory and dropped a pointer there. Its
experiment variant is the pruning target that was asked for, since
--prune_export_config is a JSON blob.
- the distilled export writes one checkpoint per --export_iterations, so
--hf_export_path is their parent rather than a checkpoint: the Tool
sets settles_pointer=False and each export points itself at the run.
Its LLM branch destroys the process group before exporting from rank 0,
after which every rank reports itself as rank 0, so the writing rank is
passed in from what the script captured beforehand.

hf_ptq and megatron_bridge each carried their own copy of the same seven functions -- the flag wrappers, the params/tags/texts/files assembly, and the logger-plus-context-manager -- so a fix to one had to be remembered in the other. Tool and those helpers move into modelopt.torch.utils.mlflow, and each script now declares what distinguishes it: the flag wording, the arguments naming its model and checkpoint, what it consumed, and the artifacts it writes. vllm_serve declares one too, with no checkpoint, since it serves a checkpoint rather than producing one. Three functions went with it, all redundant once the callers shared an implementation: track_run had a single caller in tracked_run, checkpoint_run_tags a single caller in run_tags, and hf_ptq's add_mlflow_args / resolve_mlflow_args were pass-throughs that hf_ptq.py can take from the library directly. Two similar-looking wrappers stay, because their partners are not pass-throughs: vllm_serve's resolve_mlflow_args publishes the worker environment, and megatron_bridge's add_mlflow_args registers --mlflow_log_checkpoints. Two tests were passing vacuously: they patched describe_run on the example module while tracked_run resolves it from the library, so the stub was never called and their assertion held either way.

[IMPORTANT Compatibility] split_tracking_credentials copies the userinfo across verbatim, but userinfo in a URI is percent-encoded, so the value that lands in the env vars is not the credential MLflow would have used.
requests.utils.get_auth_from_url — which is what authenticates when the credential is left in the URI (MLflow passes the full tracking URI as MlflowHostCreds.host) — does (unquote(parsed.username), unquote(parsed.password)). So for https://alice:tok%2Fen@server/:
quantize.py, which leaves the URI intact, authenticates asalice/tok/en→ works.distill.py, which routes through this function, exportsMLFLOW_TRACKING_PASSWORD=tok%2Fen→ 401.
Percent-encoding is not exotic here: any base64-ish token containing / must be written %2F, because a bare / terminates the netloc and urlparse would not see a userinfo at all.
Why it matters: silent auth divergence between two scripts given the same URI, surfacing as an opaque 401 from the one path that also can't fall back (required=True → the run fails before training).
Fix — decode both halves (from urllib.parse import unquote, already importing from urllib.parse in this module):
username, _, password = userinfo.partition(":")
if username:
os.environ.setdefault("MLFLOW_TRACKING_USERNAME", unquote(username))
if password:

[IMPORTANT Compatibility] The distill → distill_export link is the one hop in the chain that does not join, in the usage the script documents as primary.
DISTILL.checkpoint is <output_dir>/checkpoints (line 171), so the distillation run tags checkpoint_path=<output_dir>/checkpoints and record_checkpoint_provenance writes .experiment.json at that root. But export_distilled_megatron_to_hf.py's own header example points --megatron_path at a single iteration:
--megatron_path /tmp/distill-out/checkpoints/iter_0000500
so DISTILL_EXPORT tags source_checkpoint_path=<output_dir>/checkpoints/iter_0000500, which is a child of the distillation's checkpoint_path and matches no run under the equality join the PR description claims ("each stage's source_checkpoint_path is the previous stage's checkpoint_path"). The on-disk walk misses for the same reason: the consumed iter_0000500/ holds no .experiment.json; the pointer is one level up. The join only lands when --megatron_path happens to be the checkpoints root (the --export_all form).
Why it matters: this is the deployment-facing hop — it is the exported HF checkpoint that gets served, so "trace a deployed model back to the run that trained it" is exactly the query that breaks.
Suggested fix — normalize an iter_* source up to the directory the producing run actually tagged:
def _checkpoint_root(path: str) -> str:
"""The directory a training run tags, from an ``iter_*`` dir or the root itself.
Megatron-Bridge saves many iterations under one root, so that root is what the
distillation run names in ``checkpoint_path`` and beside which it writes the pointer.
"""
resolved = Path(path.rstrip("/"))
return str(resolved.parent if resolved.name.startswith("iter_") else resolved)
DISTILL_EXPORT = Tool(
...
source=lambda args: _checkpoint_root(args.megatron_path),
)Applying the same to EXPORT would be harmless (quantize.py writes a root, so name.startswith("iter_") is false there). Either way, please also record the exact iteration — source_checkpoint_iteration, say — so the join is coarse but the provenance stays precise.

[SUGGESTION] The or dist.broadcast(default_run_name()) fallback is unreachable, and reads as if it were a live second collective.
logger_kwargs returns {} unless args.mlflow (line 277), and by the time main() calls it, distill_run.__enter__ has already run if args.mlflow and not args.mlflow_run_name: args.mlflow_run_name = dist.broadcast(...) (line 237-238). So whenever line 284 is evaluated, args.mlflow_run_name is non-empty and the right-hand side never runs.
That matters for readability rather than behaviour: a reader has to prove the two collectives can't be entered by disjoint rank sets before concluding there's no hang here. Dropping the fallback makes distill_run the single place the name is settled — which the comment above already says it is.

[SUGGESTION] The start → status → finish dance now exists in three copies, and only two of them know about SystemExit.
MlflowRunLogger.track(line 403) — the original; noSystemExitbranch, and after this PR it has no production caller left, only tests.tracked_run, here.distill_runinexamples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py:239-250— a third verbatim copy, including its ownexcept SystemExitwith the samee.code in (0, None)test and its own comment explaining it.
Given the PR's stated goal ("the wiring each script used to reimplement now lives in modelopt.torch.utils.mlflow"), the SystemExit handling belongs in track(), leaving one implementation:
@contextmanager
def track(self, params=None, tags=None, texts=None, files=None, metrics=None):
self.start(params=params, tags=tags, texts=texts, files=files)
status = "FAILED"
try:
yield self
status = "FINISHED"
except SystemExit as e:
# A script that ends by exiting -- Megatron-Bridge does, from inside its
# training loop -- finished if it exited cleanly.
status = "FINISHED" if e.code in (0, None) else "FAILED"
raise
finally:
self.finish(status, files=files, metrics=metrics)tracked_run's tracked branch then reduces to building the logger, described = describe_run(...), and:
with logger.track(**described, metrics=tool.metrics(args)):
try:
yield logger
finally:
logger.log_experiment_json(path if path is not None and exported() else None)and distill_run to with logger.track(**describe_run(args, tool, dist.size())): yield. That also stops track() from being a public method whose only remaining callers are its own tests — today it is the one of the three that would mislabel a clean sys.exit(0) as FAILED.

Claude review
Findings: CRITICAL 0 · IMPORTANT 2 · SUGGESTION 3
Scope: the trigger comment carried no scoping instructions, so this is a full review. 15 files changed; I reviewed all 11 non-test source files (modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py, the six examples/megatron_bridge/ scripts, examples/hf_ptq/{example_utils,hf_ptq}.py, examples/vllm_serve/vllm_mlflow_utils.py, the README) plus surrounding context in distributed.py and the four scripts' main()/get_args(). I did not open the three test files (959 of the 1688 added lines) or CHANGELOG.rst.
Most impactful
1. split_tracking_credentials does not percent-decode the userinfo (modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py:761-765). requests.utils.get_auth_from_url — which authenticates when the credential is left in the URI, as every other script does — unquote()s both halves. So https://alice:tok%2Fen@server/ authenticates fine from quantize.py and 401s from distill.py, whose path exports MLFLOW_TRACKING_PASSWORD=tok%2Fen. Not an exotic input: a token containing / has to be written %2F, or urlparse sees no userinfo at all. One-line fix in the comment.
2. The distill → distill_export hop does not join (examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py:151-152). DISTILL tags checkpoint_path=<output_dir>/checkpoints and drops .experiment.json at that root, but export_distilled_megatron_to_hf.py's own documented invocation points --megatron_path at .../checkpoints/iter_0000500, so DISTILL_EXPORT records a child of it as source_checkpoint_path. The equality join the description promises misses, and so does the disk walk — the consumed iter_*/ holds no pointer. This is the deployment-facing hop, so it is the one query ("trace this served model back to the run that trained it") that fails. Suggested normalization in the comment.
The three SUGGESTIONs: two stale track_run cross-references left by this PR's own rename (lines 24 and 311), an unreachable dist.broadcast fallback in logger_kwargs that reads like a live second collective, and the start/status/finish dance now existing in three copies — of which MlflowRunLogger.track() is the one left with no production caller and no SystemExit branch.
What I checked and found correct
- Every
Toolcallable resolves against an argument its script really defines (hf_model_name_or_path,megatron_path,export_unified_hf_path,student_hf_path,student_megatron_path,output_dir,hf_export_path, the threeprune_target_*) — no tracked run willAttributeErrorwhile being named. dist.is_last_process()anddist.broadcast()exist with the assumed semantics; the default process group is still alive whererecord_checkpoint_provenancereads the rank (dist.cleanup()comes later, in the--hf_export_pathbranch).- The run-name broadcast is entered by all ranks under identical predicates, so no rank-set mismatch.
- The pointer invariant holds on every path I traced:
prune_minitron.py's early "already exists" return leaves the existing pointer alone (checkpoint_exportedstillFalse);settles_pointer=FalseforDISTILL_EXPORTcorrectly defers torecord_exported_checkpoint, which clears a stale pointer on an untracked rerun;record_checkpoint_provenance'smarker == saved_beforegate stops a run that died before its first save from disowning the checkpoint it resumed from. args.prune_scoreis assigned aftermtp.prune()on every path that reaches it, is read defensively viagetattr, survives the--score_lower_boundsys.exit(1)gate (recorded, thenFAILED), and.get("best", {})covers--prune_export_config.is_rank_0is captured beforedist.cleanup()in both export scripts, and matches thedist.is_master()rank the run was opened on.- Ordering is right for
distill.py:main()'sfinally(pointer) runs beforedistill_run'sfinally(close), so the run is still active whenmlflow.active_run()is read. logger_kwargsreturning{}for an untracked run genuinely keeps the Megatron-Bridge 0.6 fields off the old-version path.@dataclass(frozen=True)withfield(default=lambda ...)is sound here — instance attributes shadow the class defaults, sotool.checkpoint(args)gets no implicitself.
Risk
Moderate, and well contained: all of it is opt-in behind --mlflow/$MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI, and nothing touches a mode, modelopt_state, or an export format. The library surface is example-facing, and the three removed functions (track_run, checkpoint_run_tags, hf_ptq's two pass-throughs) have no remaining callers outside tests.
One undocumented behaviour change worth a line in the description: hf_ptq's source_checkpoint_path tag now resolves to an absolute path when the input exists on disk, where checkpoint_run_tags recorded the raw argument — deliberate and needed for the chain, but it does retire queries written against the old value.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
The credential tests leak MLflow credential variables into the test session. monkeypatch.delenv(name, raising=False) records nothing when the variable is absent, which is the usual CI state. split_tracking_credentials then writes the credentials into os.environ through setdefault, and pytest never removes them. Call monkeypatch.setenv(name, "") before each delenv, so teardown restores the original absence.

Type of change: new feature
#2477 added MLflow tracking to
examples/megatron_bridge/quantize.py. It was one of five scripts in that directory that write a checkpoint; the other four recorded nothing, so the provenance chain stopped at the PTQ checkpoint and a deployed model could not be traced back to the run that produced it.All five now take the same
--mlflow/--mlflow_experiment/--mlflow_run_nameflags and share one experiment-name convention:prune_minitron.pyprune_scoremetric, pointerquantize.py(#2477)distill.pyexport_quantized_megatron_to_hf.pyexport_distilled_megatron_to_hf.pyEach writes
.experiment.jsoninto the checkpoint it produced, and each tags what it consumed, soprune → quantize → distill → exportis walkable both from disk and by tag query on the server.distill.pyopens the run and Megatron-Bridge joins it. ItsLoggerConfigrecords per-iteration metrics and the full resolved config — which a wrapper aroundmain()cannot see — but nothing ofdistill.py's own arguments and no invocation. Megatron-Bridge takesmlflow.active_run()when one exists, applies the tags and logs into it, sodistill_run()opens the run on the rank Megatron-Bridge looks at (the last one) and the two share it. Its early exit is handled explicitly:train()leaves throughsys.exit(0)on--exit_interval, which a blanket handler would record asFAILED. This covers distillation generally, not just QAD —distill.pyalso distills a pruned BF16 student.Two of Megatron-Bridge's defaults are deliberately not inherited: checkpoint artifact upload stays off unless
--mlflow_log_checkpoints(it pushes the whole checkpoint over HTTP after every save), and an untracked run passes nomlflow_*fields at all, since they landed in Megatron-Bridge 0.6 and sending them unconditionally would break an untracked run on an older one.Library side, the wiring each script used to reimplement now lives in
modelopt.torch.utils.mlflowbehind aToolrecord: the flags, the experiment-name convention, the params/tags/artifacts assembly, andtracked_run.examples/hf_ptqandexamples/vllm_servemigrate onto it, and three functions fall away as redundant (track_run,checkpoint_run_tags, andhf_ptq's two flag pass-throughs).
