"""B1: comprehensive multi-step validation of the H2O eviction logic on a mock KV cache that mirrors the canonical DeepseekV3 cache structure. This script extends the single-shot smoke test in src/kv_eviction_mla.py to thousands of simulated generation steps, captures per-step cache size, and emits a CSV showing the eviction mechanism stabilizes the cache at the expected bound. Why a mock cache instead of a full model: The patch in src/kv_eviction_mla.py is currently aligned with the transformers 4.x KV cache API (DynamicCache.key_cache / value_cache lists). transformers 5.x reorganized the cache into DynamicCache.layers[i], so the patch needs porting before it runs end-to-end on transformers 5.x. The eviction *logic* is unchanged across transformers versions; the API plumbing is what differs. This script validates the logic; the plumbing port is on the roadmap. Run: python scripts/validate_eviction_random_init.py \ --steps 1000 --budget 64 --n-sink 4 --n-recent 16 \ --out-csv results/validate_eviction_random_init.csv Expected output: - For steps 1..(n_sink + budget + n_recent): cache grows linearly. - For later steps: cache size stays at exactly (n_sink + budget + n_recent). - Eviction events are logged each time the cache crosses the threshold.
