"""Repack an existing mix so NO document is cut by a training-window edge unless
it is longer than the window -- and then only at multiples of T from its own start.
WHY. DataLoaderLite reads the file from offset 0 in exact T-token steps (verified:
the P2 resume fast-forwarded 16,000 batches = 524,288,000 tokens = 16,000 x 32,768),
so window k is file[k*T : (k+1)*T]. A plain concatenation cuts documents wherever
the stream crosses k*T; under CP_DOC_MASK a cut-off continuation cannot see its own
beginning. On the P2c mix that left 11.7% of tokens with >= 24k same-document
context; this layout of the SAME documents gives ~14.8%.
LAYOUT (measured on P2c before choosing it):
* a document LONGER than --align-min (default T) starts a window and is chunked
at multiples of T from its own start. A continuation chunk ALWAYS opens a window:
it has no leading EOT, so mid-window it would merge with the previous document's
id under CP_DOC_MASK.
* every shorter document is placed WHOLE, best-fit decreasing, into the tightest
gap it fits; one that fits nowhere opens a fresh window. Whole means never cut,
and inside a window its offset does not matter under the doc mask.
* aligning every document >= T/2 instead was measured to leave 3.9% of window space
empty (not enough short documents to fill behind them) -- that would need padding,
which this trainer does not have. Aligning only > T leaves 0.006%.
* the remaining small gaps are closed from a RESERVE of the shortest documents held
out before packing: whole reserve documents first, then the HEAD of the shortest
reserve document that covers the rest (it keeps its leading EOT, so it is still
its own document); the cut tail is dropped and counted. Unused reserve documents
fill final windows; the last partial window is dropped and counted.
* --float-tails: the LAST, partial chunk of a split document already cannot see
its own beginning (it is in another window), so it gets an inserted leading EOT
and becomes an ordinary filler placed whole in any gap. No token loses context
versus strict alignment; it costs one inserted EOT per tail. Needed when the mix
is dominated by documents just over T with few mid-size fillers (P1b at T=16k:
strict alignment left 14.3% of window space empty).
Windows are shuffled (seeded). No padding token exists: every window is exactly T
real tokens. One EOT is appended at the end because the loader reads T+1 tokens for
the last window. Validation is copied unchanged.
