 - 禁止：让只接受 2D key-validity mask 的 backend（FlashAttention masked-varlen 断言 `attention_mask must be 2D`）在 kernel wrapper 深处 assert 崩溃并把 HTTP 500 暴露给请求；为自动选择加静默回退的同时放过显式选择或 paged KV 场景；把 capability 位写成与平台判定脱钩的常量使路由分支变成死代码；对 2D mask 或 capability=True 的 backend 多余改道。
 - 验收：mock-backend 单测覆盖六条路径：自动选择+不支持 → 恰好一次 `sdpa_fallback` 且 backend forward 未被调用；显式选择、paged KV、无 fallback → `NotImplementedError` 且两个 forward 均未被调用；2D mask 与 capability=True → 走原 backend 不改道；并 monkeypatch `current_omni_platform.is_npu` 断言 `FlashAttentionBackend.supports_dense_4d_mask() is is_npu`，防止 capability 与平台分派脱钩。^[PR #9248]

Its layer.py diff guards the #9248 dense 4D mask check in Attention._run_local_attention with `not spans_take_precedence`, where spans_take_precedence requires `attn_metadata.full_attn_spans is not None` (an existence check, not a non-empty check) plus `getattr(self.attn_backend, 'supports_piecewise_spans', False)`. Calls carrying both a 4D attn_mask and full_attn_spans (HunyuanImage3 dense prompt-KV) reach piecewise backends again instead of raising NotImplementedError under explicit FLASH_ATTN on XPU or being silently diverted to SDPA under automatic selection, restoring the #9123 behavior; all other cases keep #9248 behavior. The unconditional divert-or-reject claim of VLLM-OMNI-PR9248-DENSE4D-MASK-ROUTE therefore no longer matches vllm_omni/diffusion/attention/layer.py on current main, while its span-less semantics survive and are retested in tests/diffusion/attention/test_attention_config.py; the non-piecewise + spans rejection is only tested with backend_explicit=True." superseded_by=VLLM-OMNI-PR9302-PIECEWISE-SPAN-ROUTE -->

+## VLLM-OMNI-PR9302-PIECEWISE-SPAN-ROUTE — dense 4D mask 分流必须为 piecewise 后端的 full_attn_spans 让路
+
+- 触发：修改 `vllm_omni/diffusion/attention/layer.py` 中 `Attention._run_local_attention` 的 dense 4D mask 分流/拒绝判定，改动 `full_attn_spans` 与后端 piecewise 能力的优先级，或增删后端的 `supports_piecewise_spans` 声明。HunyuanImage3 的 dense prompt-KV 路径会同时携带 4D `attn_mask` 与 `full_attn_spans`。
+- 强制：dense 4D mask 检查前必须先算 spans 优先：`attn_metadata.full_attn_spans is not None` 且后端声明 `supports_piecewise_spans`（经 `getattr(..., False)` 读取，缺失该属性按非 piecewise 处理）时跳过该检查，让调用直达后端 piecewise 路径——CUDA `forward_cuda`、#9123 起的 XPU FlashAttention 与 FlashAttention Hub 变体先消费 spans、不读 dense mask。spans 判定必须保持 `is not None` 存在性检查（空列表同样不是 `None`），不得改成非空或 truthiness 检查。spans 优先不成立时（未携带 spans，或后端不支持 piecewise——非 piecewise 后端继续由 dense mask 合同管辖，与 DIFF-1z 一致），#9248 语义原样保留：后端 `supports_dense_4d_mask()` 为假时，自动选择下分流 SDPA，显式选择后端或 paged KV 激活时以 `NotImplementedError` fail closed（Qwen-Image-2.1 的 span-less dense mask 场景即属此类）。
+- 禁止：恢复无条件的 dense 4D mask 拦截——它曾把 HunyuanImage3 在 XPU 的显式 `FLASH_ATTN` 请求以 `NotImplementedError` 打断，并在自动选择下静默降级到 SDPA，重演 #9248 对 #9123 的回归；借机删除 #9248 对 span-less dense mask 的分流/fail-closed 保护；把 spans 判定改成非空/truthiness 检查；仅凭后端调用未报错就声称路由正确。
+- 验收：在 `tests/diffusion/attention/test_attention_config.py` 以可 mock 后端断言路由去向：piecewise 后端携带 spans 时 backend forward 被调用一次、SDPA fallback 不被调用，`backend_explicit` 两种取值都要覆盖；piecewise 后端无 spans 时仍分流 SDPA；非 piecewise 后端携带 spans 且显式选择时抛 `NotImplementedError`（消息含 dense 4D attn_mask）且 backend 与 SDPA 均未被调用；#9248 原有 span-less 分流与拒绝路径保持回归。非 piecewise 后端 + spans + 自动选择的组合当前没有测试证据，不得据此声称其行为。^[PR #9302]
