verl-e2e-testing

verl-e2e-testing is a skill for Claude Code from NVIDIA-NeMo/Megatron-Bridge. It costs 68 tokens per session (5,911 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An end-to-end test workflow for checking Megatron-Bridge changes through verl, a reinforcement-learning training system.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps run a small external training job with options such as LoRA, DDP, saving, resuming, and different parallelism settings, then record whether it passed.
Why use it?
It finds integration problems that Bridge's own tests may miss, such as issues with model setup, adapters, distributed training, and checkpoints.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: when-to-use in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash tests/special_e2e/run_ppo_trainer_megatron.sh \.

Good fit It helps run a small external training job with options such as LoRA, DDP, saving, resuming, and different parallelism settings, then record whether it passed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

verl-e2e-testing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

verl E2E Testing

Validate a Megatron-Bridge change through verl's Megatron backend. This catches integration issues that Bridge-only tests miss: provider/configuration finalization, HF import through Bridge, PEFT wrapping, DDP wrapping, optimizer setup, rollout/ref wiring, and checkpoint ownership by an external RL loop.

Use this as an external compatibility smoke test after the relevant Bridge unit and functional tests are green.

This is not a replacement for Bridge correctness tests. The default verl run proves that the changed Bridge path can survive an external RL training loop; numerical parity, import/export fidelity, and feature-specific behavior still come from focused Bridge tests.

Scope

Think in coverage levels. Start with Level 0 and add only the levels justified by the change.

Level Required when What it proves
0: LoRA + DDP smoke Any Bridge change that claims verl compatibility verl can import the local Bridge checkout, apply PEFT, wrap with Megatron DDP, build optimizer state, run rollout/ref/critic wiring, and finish one training step
1: Save/resume PEFT, checkpointing, HF export, adapter export, optimizer state, or resume behavior changed verl-owned checkpoint scheduling can save and reload Bridge-built model state
2: Parallelism stress Provider finalization, mpu-derived settings, TP/PP/CP/EP, sequence parallel, or dispatcher behavior changed provider settings remain correct under non-trivial Megatron parallel state
3: Optional Megatron-FSDP Only when downstream explicitly asks for verl Megatron-FSDP coverage or the change directly touches that integration path the same provider works when verl selects Megatron-FSDP instead of DDP
4: Feature-specific e2e The change depends on runtime behavior not exercised by the default text-only smoke the requested feature is activated by a targeted verl command or script
5: Convergence / learning signal Optimizer, scheduler, loss, reward, PEFT trainability, gradient flow, or training stability changed metrics move in the expected direction over a short run and do not silently produce zero/NaN/unstable updates

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
