"""Attention-mask and KV-cache utilities for DiffusionGemma. This module centralizes all masking, positional tracking, and KV-cache manipulation helpers required for hybrid autoregressive-diffusion models. Core Architectural Concepts --------------------------- Gemma Autoregressive Diffusion operates by combining standard causal cache (AR) prefilling with localized diffusion denoising over discrete sequence chunks ("canvases"). Because Gemma uses a right-padded memory layout, special care must be taken to ensure: 1. Pad tokens in the prompt are correctly masked out during prefill. 2. Cached KV entries for prompt tokens and previously generated canvases are preserved and correctly indexed across multiple denoising passes. 3. Causality is strictly maintained between canvas chunks (canvas `i` can attend to the prompt and canvases `j <= i`, but never to future canvases `k > i`). Lifecycle & Function Roles -------------------------- * **Prefill Phase (`sft_encode` / `init_ar_state`)**: - `build_positions_from_mask`: Computes 0-indexed sequence positions from a boolean prompt mask, ensuring pad tokens clamp to the last valid position. - `make_causal_prefill_mask`: Builds a causal lower-triangular mask combined with the prompt pad mask, right-padded to the full cache width. * **Encoder functions (`update_ar_state`)**: - `make_full_attention_mask`: Pre-computes a static 1-D attention mask representing valid prompt tokens, hidden pad slots, and future decode slots. - `make_causal_attention_mask_right_pad`: Creates a causal attention mask for appending newly sampled canvas tokens into the existing KV cache while respecting the active write cursor (`end_index`). * **Localized Diffusion Denoising (`sft_decode` / Sampler Denoising)**: - `create_decoder_attention_mask`: Generates the block-causal attention mask for the SFT decoder. It ensures the model attends only to valid prompt tokens and canvases up to the active `selected_canvas_idx`, while completely hiding future canvases. - `set_cache_end_index`: Overrides the internal `end_index` write cursor in the Gemma KV cache. This allows the decoder to reuse cached key/value states for the prompt and previous canvases without overwriting them during iterative diffusion passes.
