- Around line 467-470: The _prune candidate-state restoration must snapshot
independent copies of each per-layer hybrid config, not just the container
referenced by saved_stack_state. Capture fields mutated during pruning,
including hidden_size, num_layers, and derived attention/FFN sizes, before
candidate evaluation and restore them for subsequent candidates and final
export.

unclear comment, how about,
# Some fields are computed in __post_init__ and excluded from constructor
# arguments via init=False. asdict() still includes them, so filter them out
# to avoid a TypeError in GenericHeterogeneousProvider(**provider_kwargs)
btw, the who function is really hacky, do we still need it as Andrii Skliar was working on some more long term solution for heterogenous support in MBridge? I would add TODO in this code as potentially to refactor/replace

Updated the comment with your wording. Yes, we'll switch to Megatron-Bridge's native heterogeneous support once it exists. That may take a while, and in the meantime this change is what unblocks moving to the newer Megatron-Bridge.

Better comment proposal:
"""Resize MCore's decode cache when ModelOpt changes the active head count.
ModelOpt slices A_log, but MCore's cache retains its original shape.
Allocate matching storage and mark it stale so MCore's refresh_cache()
recomputes -exp(A_log) from the active heads before using the cache.

I found changes in this module quite involving, I skip reviewing this file. Please either trust AI to review or break it down for my re-review. I am ok with both.

Thanks. I've reviewed this file myself too and trust the code; CodeRabbit also approved it after withdrawing its one finding. Here's a short map in case it helps. Newer MCore's HybridStack keeps per-layer state alongside decoder.layers, so there are three changes:
drop_mcore_language_model_layersalso filterslayer_config_listand resets the execution-index lists to the kept layers. Dropping grouped hybrid layers (e.g. shortcut MoE blocks) asserts as unsupported._temporarily_prunedsaves and restores those attributes together withdecoder.layersbetween search candidates._prunewrites the pruned hparams tomodel.configand to every per-layer config, because each hybrid layer now has its own copy. The loop body is the existing code.
Older MCore has none of these attributes, so its path is unchanged.

makes more sense now
… Puzzletron Newer MCore (e.g. nemo:26.10) refreshes the Mamba -exp(A_log) decode cache on eval(), gives each hybrid layer its own config copy and keeps per-layer lists index-aligned with HybridStack.layers; newer Megatron-Bridge derives gtp_weight_remat_size in __post_init__. Resize the cache to the active heads, slice/restore the per-layer lists when dropping layers, write the pruned architecture to the per-layer configs, and pass only init fields to GenericHeterogeneousProvider.

Invalidate the decode cache when the selected heads change at the same count.
_resize_mamba_decode_cache marks _A_neg_exp_cache_stale only when the cache shape differs from A_log. sort_parameters can change _slice_order without changing the active head count. A later sort after the decode cache is populated can therefore change which heads active_slice selects while the shape stays the same. The cache then stays non-stale, and a later decode can use values computed for the previous heads. The helper's TODO notes this gap.
mtn.sample does not change the order, so the trigger is a sort, not sampling. Track the selected head indices alongside the cache. Mark the cache stale when they differ. The helper already runs on train(), eval(), and export(), so that check can run at those points.

What does this PR do?
Type of change: Compatibility update (newer Megatron-Core / Megatron-Bridge)
Makes Minitron pruning of Mamba hybrid models and Puzzletron distillation work with newer Megatron-Core / Megatron-Bridge. The NeMo 26.10 container ships these changes. Without this PR, 4 Megatron GPU or example tests fail there, while they pass on nemo:26.08. Each fix is a no-op on the older versions, and none is a shim to drop once nemo:26.10 is the minimum: the newer MCore needs all of them, and the
hasattrchecks also tell GPT models (TransformerBlock) apart from hybrid ones._DynamicMambaMixer):MambaMixerkeeps a per-head-exp(A_log)cache that newer MCore refreshes on everyeval(). Once pruning shrinks the active heads, the refresh fails withThe size of tensor a (8) must match the size of tensor b (6). The cache is now resized to the active heads intrain()and afterexport().drop_mcore_language_model_layers): newerHybridStackkeepslayer_config_listand its execution lists index-aligned withlayers, and its forward zips them withstrict=True. Dropping layers now slices them too, and_temporarily_prunedrestores them after scoring a candidate. Grouped shortcut-MoE blocks are rejected before anything is mutated.MCoreMinitronSearcher._prune): each hybrid layer now holds its own copy of the config. The pruned architecture is now written to those copies as well asmodel.config. Megatron-Bridge's Mambain_projexport reads the layer's config, so before this fix exporting a pruned Nemotron-H hit a device-side index-out-of-bounds.HeterogeneousBridgeMixin.provider_bridge): newer Megatron-Bridge derivesgtp_weight_remat_sizein__post_init__(init=False), so only fields the constructor accepts are passed.This unblocks testing ModelOpt's Megatron CI against a newer Megatron-Bridge before nemo:26.10 is out (planned on top of #2889).
