Richard Palethorpe c894d9c826 feat(sglang): wire engine_args, add cuda13 build, ship MTP gallery demos (#9686)
Bring the sglang Python backend up to feature parity with vllm by adding
the same engine_args:-map plumbing the vLLM backend already has. Any
ServerArgs field (~380 in sglang 0.5.11) becomes settable from a model
YAML, including the speculative-decoding flags needed for Multi-Token
Prediction. Validation matches the vllm backend's: keys are checked
against dataclasses.fields(ServerArgs), unknown keys raise ValueError
with a difflib close-match suggestion at LoadModel time, and the typed
ModelOptions fields keep their existing meaning with engine_args
overriding them.

Backend code:
* backend/python/sglang/backend.py: add _apply_engine_args, import
  dataclasses/difflib/ServerArgs, call from LoadModel; rename Seed ->
  sampling_seed (sglang 0.5.11 renamed the SamplingParams field).
* backend/python/sglang/test.py + test.sh + Makefile: six unit tests
  exercising the helper directly (no engine load required).

Build / CI / backend gallery (cuda13 + l4t13 paths are now first-class):
* backend/python/sglang/install.sh: add --prerelease=allow because
  sglang 0.5.11 hard-pins flash-attn-4 which only ships beta wheels;
  add --index-strategy=unsafe-best-match for cublas12 so the cu128
  torch index wins over default-PyPI's cu130; new pyproject.toml-driven
  l4t13 install path so [tool.uv.sources] can pin torch/torchvision/
  torchaudio/sglang to the jetson-ai-lab index without forcing every
  transitive PyPI dep through the L4T mirror's flaky proxy (mirrors the
  equivalent fix in backend/python/vllm/install.sh).
* backend/python/sglang/pyproject.toml (new): L4T project spec with
  explicit-source jetson-ai-lab index. Replaces requirements-l4t13.txt
  for the l4t13 BUILD_PROFILE; other profiles still go through the
  requirements-*.txt pipeline via libbackend.sh's installRequirements.
* backend/python/sglang/requirements-l4t13.txt: removed; superseded
  by pyproject.toml.
* backend/python/sglang/requirements-cublas{12,13}{,-after}.txt: pin
  sglang>=0.5.11 (Gemma 4 floor); add cu130 torch index for cublas13
  (new files) and cu128 torch index for cublas12 (default PyPI now
  ships cu130 torch wheels by default and breaks cu12 hosts).
* backend/index.yaml: add cuda13-sglang and cuda13-sglang-development
  capability mappings + image entries pointing at
  quay.io/.../-gpu-nvidia-cuda-13-sglang.
* .github/workflows/backend.yml: new cublas13 sglang matrix entry,
  mirroring vllm's cuda13 build.

Model gallery + docs:
* gallery/sglang.yaml: base sglang config template, mirrors vllm.yaml.
* gallery/sglang-gemma-4-{e2b,e4b}-mtp.yaml: Gemma 4 MTP demos
  transcribed verbatim from the SGLang Gemma 4 cookbook MTP commands.
* gallery/sglang-mimo-7b-mtp.yaml: MiMo-7B-RL with built-in MTP heads
  + online fp8 weight quantization, verified end-to-end on a 16 GB
  RTX 5070 Ti at ~88 tok/s. Uses mem_fraction_static: 0.7 because the
  MTP draft worker's vocab embedding is loaded unquantised and OOMs
  the static reservation at sglang's 0.85 default.
* gallery/index.yaml: three new entries (gemma-4-e2b-it:sglang-mtp,
  gemma-4-e4b-it:sglang-mtp, mimo-7b-mtp:sglang).
* docs/content/features/text-generation.md: new SGLang section with
  setup, engine_args reference, MTP demos, version requirements.
* .agents/sglang-backend.md (new): agent one-pager covering the flat
  ServerArgs structure, the typed-vs-engine_args precedence, the
  speculative-decoding cheatsheet, and the mem_fraction_static gotcha
  documented above.
* AGENTS.md: index entry for the new agent doc.

Known limitation: the two Gemma 4 MTP gallery entries ship a recipe
that doesn't yet run on stock libraries. The drafter checkpoints
(google/gemma-4-{E2B,E4B}-it-assistant) declare
model_type: gemma4_assistant / Gemma4AssistantForCausalLM, which
neither transformers (<=5.6.0, including the SGLang cookbook's pinned
commit 91b1ab1f... and main HEAD) nor sglang's own model registry
(<=0.5.11) registers as of 2026-05-06. They will start working when
HF or sglang upstream registers the architecture -- no LocalAI
changes needed. The MiMo MTP demo and the non-MTP Gemma 4 paths work
today on this build (verified on RTX 5070 Ti, 16 GB).

"""Unit tests for the sglang backend.
Helper-level tests run without launching the gRPC server or loading model
weights — they only exercise the pure-Python helpers on
``BackendServicer``. They do still require ``sglang`` to be importable
because ``_apply_engine_args`` validates keys against
``ServerArgs``'s dataclass fields.
