Background

Follow up #1310 by moving ten existing families' CLI definitions and execution into their owning directories. New options can then be added without changing the public parser or shared build request.

Exit Criteria

  • Each family owns its build declaration, typed request, native handler and tests.
  • Existing defaults, supported inputs, legacy rejection behavior and numerical criteria are preserved.
  • Discovery, help, runtime staging and packaging use the existing generic protocol.

Implementation

Families: timm_mnasnet, timm_mobilenetv2, timm_mobilenetv3, timm_mobilenetv4, timm_mobilevit, timm_nfnet, timm_regnet, timm_repvgg, timm_res2net, timm_resnest.

Adds build and classify, lazy Python build handlers and native adapter targets. Existing family runtime interfaces are reused inside owner handlers. Model graphs and build policies remain in their existing owners. Existing flat CLI entry points remain compatible; public Task ABI, bundle format and dependencies are unchanged.

This follow-up also fixes an existing Res2Net --verbose build failure: diagnostics now read the checkpoint layout's scale field instead of the missing bottleneck field. Eight CPU cases cover scales 4/8, fp16/fp32 and verbose/quiet behavior through a stub TensorRT builder boundary; model math is unchanged.

Validation

Commands and Results

  • Partial remote CI on ffc84429b4d0cffc37b472c4dc614fdc8a542e46: Stable Community CIpassed; Dev Community CIfailed; TRTMC Internal CI / Automated premerge gatepassed. Dev GPU validation remains incomplete because of a provisioning infrastructure failure; a normal CI retry is pending.

Current-head fix validation (ffc84429b4d0cffc37b472c4dc614fdc8a542e46):

  • CI_BASE_REF=4b9cc2b0f259e8959e1a5c0e996506e60d7101b5 PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD=1 python3 -B -m tools.ci pipeline source-quality: passed, including 296 architecture and CI contract tests.
  • The full ten-family CPU suite passed 373 tests / 17 existing E2E selector skips, including the eight new Res2Net regression cases. The regression cases use synthetic checkpoint data and stop at the TensorRT builder boundary; they do not execute a GPU engine build.

Original migration validation (a21adefcdf79362974e2eccf234c79dda682b0f0, before this fix):

The source-quality and owner results below belong to the original head. The native and wheel results belong to the original combined five-batch integration tree.

  • CI_BASE_REF=4b9cc2b0f259e8959e1a5c0e996506e60d7101b5 python3 -m tools.ci pipeline source-quality: passed, including 296 architecture and CI contract tests.
  • Owner CPU suite: 365 passed / 17 existing selector skips:

  • cmake --build /work/build --parallel 8 and ctest --test-dir /work/build --output-on-failure --label-exclude gpu: a local integration tree containing all five independent migration batches passed 268 tests / 7 expected no-device skips, including this batch's 10 native CLI handler tests.
  • python3 -m build --no-isolation --wheel --outdir /work/wheels -Cbuild-dir=/work/wheel-build .: the same integration tree built a real wheel; archive/installed validators passed for all 128 model families. Installed-only probes passed owner build dispatch for all 50 migrated families, 120 offline help commands and 70 native adapter family guards.
  • Model math/build-policy definitions and existing E2E assertions were compared with the baseline. The tests now call the owner entry points with the same acceptance criteria.

Hardware, Environment, and Revisions

Current head: ffc84429b4d0cffc37b472c4dc614fdc8a542e46. Original migration head: a21adefcdf79362974e2eccf234c79dda682b0f0. Base: 4b9cc2b0f259e8959e1a5c0e996506e60d7101b5. Local Linux/aarch64 CPU-only validation used TensorRT 11.1.0.106 and Torch 2.12.0+cu130. Synthetic runtime fixtures and probe bundles were used for CLI integration; the skipped tests retain their existing explicit GPU/E2E selectors.

Not Run / Remaining Gaps

Fresh checkpoint GPU inference, numerical/performance qualification and TensorRT-RTX execution were not run locally. The passing remote results above cover their configured checks on this head. Dev GPU validation remains incomplete, so merge readiness is pending.

Contributor Self-Review

  • I have completed a self-review of this change.

Reviewed family ownership, supported parameters/defaults, old Python-call compatibility, native input/output contracts and failure behavior. Publication is gated on an independent review of outgoing code, commit metadata, PR text and CI output paths.

Notes For Future Readers

This is batch 2 of five independent ten-family migrations on the same base; no batch depends on another. Review cli.json, cli.py, native cli.cpp, then owner tests. Remaining families can follow the same pattern. Remove the shared legacy CLI/request only after migration is complete.

Risk level

  • Low
  • Medium
  • High

Ten families gain a new command path and adapter artifacts. Explicit defaults, strict rejection, owner tests and installed-package checks cover the integration boundary; they do not replace model qualification.

Add family-owned build and classify commands for MNASNet, MobileNetV2,
MobileNetV3, MobileNetV4, MobileViT, NFNet, RegNet, RepVGG, Res2Net and
ResNeSt. Keep existing Task SDK or legacy native interfaces and preserve
old request rejection rules through owner-local conversions.

Move owner E2E invocations to the new command prefixes without changing
model math or their assertions. Add CPU coverage for declaration/manifest
consumers, bundle publication and native callback execution.

Validation: 365 owner CPU tests passed, 17 skipped; 53 architecture checks
passed. Ruff, changed-function CCN <= 10, clang-format and diff checks pass.
GPU checkpoint validation was not run locally.

📝 Summary

HUMAN REVIEW REQUIRED

Intent and behavior

This change localizes CLI support for ten model families: MNASNet, MobileNetV2/V3/V4, MobileViT, NFNet, RegNet, RepVGG, Res2Net, and ResNeSt.

Each family gains a CLI declaration, a Python build API with family-owned request validation, a native classify adapter, runtime build targets, and tests. The build path selects the backend and writes a bundle through the family’s model builder. The classify path loads a family bundle, decodes an image, runs classification, and returns JSON results.

The change also updates family manifests and E2E harnesses. Res2Net’s build diagnostic now reports the declared scale. The supplied objectives report 296 architecture and CI contract tests, 365 owner CPU tests with 17 existing selector skips, and 268 integration tests passed with 7 expected no-device skips. They also report a successful wheel build and installed-package probes. Fresh-checkpoint GPU inference, numerical/performance qualification, and TensorRT-RTX execution were not run locally.

Architecture impact

  • Family-owned files: Each family owns its cli.json, cli.py, native runtime/cli.cpp, runtime CMake targets, and CLI tests. Family model builders now delegate request coercion to the local CLI module. Manifests and E2E tests also change.
  • Shared surfaces: The summaries describe additions to family runtime targets and changes to family E2E harnesses. They do not identify edits to shared implementation files. The objectives state that the public Task ABI, bundle format, and dependencies remain unchanged.
  • Dependency direction: Family model builders import their own .cli module. Native adapters link to shared runtime/C API and JSON components. The supplied evidence does not establish the complete dependency graph or independently verify that shared CLI entrypoints and flat-command compatibility remain unchanged.
  • Affected consumers: Users of the ten families’ build and classify commands, Python build APIs, and native runtime adapters are in scope. The objectives say flat CLI entrypoints remain compatible; the supplied change summaries do not show the compatibility wiring or identify all consumers of those entrypoints.
  • Blast radius: The change spans ten family-owned vertical slices and their build, runtime, manifest, and test paths. Human review should confirm flat-command compatibility and the full set of consumers affected by the CLI routing changes.
  • Review findings: No current review findings were supplied. Severity counts are unavailable. This does not establish that no issues were found.

Walkthrough

This PR adds family-scoped build and classify CLI support across timm image families. It adds per-family request coercion and bundle builders, native classification adapters, and test coverage. E2E tests and manifests now use the family-owned build path.

🟡 Minor · The --verbose build crashes with KeyError: 'bottleneck'. · model.py:374

families/timm_res2net/model.py:374
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The --verbose build crashes with KeyError: 'bottleneck'.

_build_engine prints layout['bottleneck'] when verbose is true. _layout returns only these keys: depths, scale, deep_stem and pooled_shortcut. families/timm_res2net/cli.json now exposes --verbose for trtmc timm_res2net build, and cli.build passes the flag through. As a result, every verbose build fails before the engine is built. This line is outside the changed lines. The new family CLI makes it reachable from a documented flag.

🐛 Proposed fix
-            f"bottleneck={layout['bottleneck']}, classes={config['num_classes']}, "
+            f"scale={layout['scale']}, classes={config['num_classes']}, "
