This is a continuation of #8475

I resolved the conflicts, made sure we switch to check_is_fitted, and cleaned up functionality related to catching "half fitted" models. In general I think in the scikit-learn universe it is fine that a model is in a "broken" state after an exception is raised in fit. At least there is precedence for this. My goal was to match the behaviour of RandomForestClassifier when it comes to this, so we have consistent behaviour.

I made a new PR, keeping all the previous commits, so that the CI runs without the need to prod it.

Closes #8475
Towards #8420

The native model cannot be serialized, so pickling previously produced a
half fitted estimator: public attributes and the treelite bytes survived
while inference was broken. __getstate__ now drops the fitted state
entirely, keeping only constructor parameters, and warns when fitted
state is lost. This removes the need for the __sklearn_is_fitted__ hook:
plain check_is_fitted now gates every method, including the treelite and
nvforest exports.

fit() also resets the fitted state up front and on failure, so an
estimator whose fit raised is genuinely unfitted instead of exposing
n_features_in_ and other attributes from the aborted call.

…ling

fit is restored to its reviewed structure: fitted attributes are simply
overwritten by a second fit and the state after a raising fit is not
specified. __getstate__ now drops fitted attributes by the sklearn
naming convention (trailing underscore, non leading underscore) instead
of a hardcoded list, on top of resetting the private native-model
fields.

Review Change Stack

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Isolation Forest operations now consistently report a not-fitted error when used before training.
    • Exporting, scoring, predicting, and computing decision functions now validate the model’s fitted state consistently.
    • Improved compatibility with standard estimator checks for unfitted models.

Walkthrough

IsolationForest now uses shared fitted-state validation for export and inference methods. Tests expect NotFittedError, and sklearn compatibility no longer marks unfitted IsolationForest checks as expected failures.

Changes

IsolationForest fitted-state validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add fitted-state validation
python/cuml/cuml/ensemble/isolation_forest.pyx
Export and inference methods call check_is_fitted. Duplicate manual checks were removed from shared helpers.
Update fitted-state tests
python/cuml/tests/test_isolation_forest.py, python/cuml/tests/test_sklearn_compatibility.py
Tests expect NotFittedError for unfitted export and scoring operations. The sklearn compatibility exception was removed. An obsolete failed-fit conversion test was removed.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5fc1d

A failed IsolationForest fit can leave the estimator appearing fitted, causing later prediction or export calls to fail with an unexpected AttributeError instead of the documented NotFittedError. The PR is not merge-ready until partial-fit handling and its regression coverage are restored.

Restore the failed-fit regression test.

This deletion removes coverage for the state where n_features_in_ exists but the serialized forest does not. Keep the test and update its expected exception after fixing the fitted-state predicate.
