WalkthroughChangesMooncake artifact transfer
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Mooncake artifact reuse can publish a stale cache bundle after a failed transfer if an object identifier is recycled, causing workers to install artifacts that do not match the current on-disk cache; concurrent Mooncake users may also observe temporarily incorrect cluster settings. The PR should not merge until these bounded correctness and runtime-configuration risks are fixed or explicitly accepted. Poem

243-247: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy liftOld generation chunks are never removed.
Each publication writes chunks under a fresh
generation_idand only replaces the manifest key. No code path deletes chunk keys of previous generations, so every republication of the samecache_keyleaves a complete orphaned copy in the store.MX_ARTIFACT_MOONCAKE_ENABLE_SOFT_PINdefaults to true, which raises the eviction priority of those orphans, so reclamation depends entirely on the master soft-pin TTL.Confirm the intended reclamation owner. If Mooncake soft-pin TTL is expected to reclaim them, record that in the docstring. Otherwise add a deferred delete of the previous generation after the new manifest commits, using the generation id read from the manifest that is being replaced.

Add a best-effort Mooncake backend for vLLM and SGLang file-backed artifacts, with compatibility-keyed manifest/chunk storage, integrity validation, pod-level install coordination, and restart-safe publishing markers. Keep the existing P2P artifact path as the fallback when Mooncake misses or is unavailable. Signed-off-by: CDalezyb <daleandfire@163.com>

Keep a Mooncake-prepared bundle scoped to its synchronous P2P publication callback. Serialize overlapping publications for the same transfer identity and only remove the bundle written by the current call, preventing a stale cleanup from discarding another publisher's bundle.

CodeRabbit comment addressed in commit ef7b64b. The prepared bundle is now scoped to the synchronous P2P callback and is always removed in a finally block, including callback failures or callbacks that bypass publish_artifact. Overlapping publications for the same transfer and identity are serialized, and cleanup removes an entry only if it is still the bundle written by that invocation. I intentionally retain id(transfer) for this short-lived handoff: a metadata-only stable key could conflate distinct transfer instances. Since no bundle survives the callback, CPython id reuse cannot consume stale artifact data. Regression tests cover failure, bypass, and overlapping publication paths. |

Motivation
P2P artifact reuse requires a compatible source instance to remain running. When all serving instances exit, their locally generated JIT and kernel caches are no longer reachable, and a later deployment must regenerate them.
Add Mooncake as a persistent shared backend for compatible file-backed artifacts. This allows later vLLM and SGLang workers to reuse artifacts even when no previous source instance is alive.
Design
Mooncake is used only for file-backed cache artifacts. Model weights continue to use the existing loading and P2P transfer paths.
Configuration
Enable artifact transfer and select Mooncake:
Configure the Mooncake cluster either with a configuration file:
export MX_MOONCAKE_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/mooncake.jsonor with ModelExpress-scoped Mooncake variables:
MX_MC_*variables are temporarily promoted to the nativeMC_*names only while ModelExpress performs a Mooncake operation, then restored afterwards. This wrapper keeps Mooncake optional, avoids permanently changing process-wide Mooncake configuration, and lets ModelExpress coexist with other Mooncake users in the same process that may target a different cluster.Artifact-specific tuning is also available:
If
MX_ARTIFACT_BACKENDis unset, it remainsp2p; existing deployments do not require Mooncake configuration.Tests
Add unit coverage for:
MX_MC_*environment promotion and restoration; andAdd an opt-in real-store integration test. It is skipped by default so normal developer test runs do not require a Mooncake deployment:
