本次为静态代码 review，未运行测试、未修改实现。建议处理以下三处问题，具体触发条件及修改建议见行内意见：
- 新 kernel_init 的失败回滚会丢失 K2 部分初始化后的资源回收入口；明确以接入 #2176 实现为触发条件，不把 K1 拒绝 stub 本身当作缺陷。
- 新 stream helper 不能正确处理调用方已初始化 ACL 的正常状态。
- borrowed stream 存活测试吞掉后续 stream 操作的失败，可能假通过。
合并提醒（不重复作为新增缺陷）：#2176 最新代码已修复显式 finalize 的错误传播；整合本 PR 时请保留该修复，否则本 PR 的 Python registry 保留逻辑仍无法感知底层失败。prepare 的 caller_stream 参数目前已对齐，不再提出签名不一致的问题。

kernel_init 的失败回滚会丢失 K2 部分初始化后的 close 入口
这里把所有非零 init_rc 都解释成当前拒绝 stub 的“没有取得任何资源”，直接 destroy，然后无条件清空 device_ctx_ 和 bindings。但接上 #2176 的实现后，这个假设不成立：init_kernel_context 先创建 stream/event，随后才做 bootstrap 和 runtime 加载；后面的步骤失败时，context 会被标记为 Poisoned，已有 handles 仍需要显式 close。
具体路径是：stream/event 创建成功 → bootstrap 或 runtime SO 加载失败 → destroy_device_context 因 has_live_resources() 拒绝销毁（返回类型为 void）→ 本层仍将 context 指针置空并释放 dlopen 引用。随后 finalize() 既看不到 context，initialized_ 也从未设为 true，无法执行 finalize_device，于是失去资源回收和重试入口。
对应 K2 代码：先创建资源再加载 runtime、拒绝销毁未关闭的 context。后者的保护是合理的，问题在本层把 destroy 调用等同于销毁成功。
建议区分进入 C ABI 前的失败和已经尝试 kernel init 的失败；后一类先走 kernel 的显式 finalize/close，成功后才能 destroy 和释放库。若 close 失败，应保留 context、bindings、库引用及可重试状态；close 的可达性不能只依赖 init 成功标志。
这里明确限定：当前 K1 拒绝 stub 不分配这些资源，因此不是声称现有拒绝用例已经发生泄漏；这是新调用层与其要对接的现有 K2 实现的生命周期冲突，不要求本 PR 实现生产 launch。

已按建议修改（908b31ab2）。
kernel_init在init_rc != 0时先调finalize_device_fn_（chip_worker.cpp:526），返回 0 才 destroy context 并清 bindings（:543）。- close 失败时保留
device_ctx_、bindings 和lib_handle_，并置device_teardown_owed_（:536）。finalize()的回收条件改为initialized_ || device_teardown_owed_（:618），close 的可达性不再只依赖 init 成功标志。 - 进入 C ABI 之前的失败（dlopen、符号解析、PipelineContract、
create_device_context、读二进制）没有调用过 kernel init，仍然直接 destroy 并 reset。 - 四个 kernel 入口沿用合入版 K1 的延后发布：init 成功或需要保留重试状态时才写入成员。
说明一点：当前拒绝桩不分配资源，close 失败这条分支现在的测试走不到，要等接上 #2176 之后才有真实覆盖。

新增 stream helper 会把调用方已初始化 ACL 的正常状态当成失败
_acl_create_stream 和下面的 _acl_bind_device 都先调用 AclRuntimeApi::init()。该对象的 initialized_ 只记录它自己是否成功初始化过；如果 ACL 已由调用方的 pyACL/C++ 代码或框架初始化，这里的标志仍可能为 false。第 170–172 行会再次调用 aclInit，并对所有非零返回抛异常。
因此，调用方先初始化 ACL、设置好当前 device，再第一次调用 _acl_create_stream() 时，ACL_ERROR_REPEAT_INITIALIZE 会导致 helper 在真正创建 stream 前就失败。它实际上要求 ACL 必须先通过同一个辅助对象初始化，比文档的“在调用线程当前 device 上创建 stream”多了隐藏前提。
CANN 官方 aclInit 约定 允许忽略重复初始化返回码后继续处理业务；本 PR 的 C++ BorrowedDevice 测试辅助类也已接受这个返回码。
建议将 stream 创建与 ACL 初始化职责分开；若保留兼容初始化，应正确处理重复初始化及资源归属，不能通过 reset/finalize 调用方的 ACL 来消除此错误。这是新增 helper 的兼容性问题，不是说 kernel_init 主路径调用了 aclInit；直接传入框架现有 stream 的主路径不经过这些 helper。

已修改（908b31ab2）。
AclRuntimeApi::init()把ACL_ERROR_REPEAT_INITIALIZE视为成功（task_interface.cpp:177，常量kAclRepeatInitialize = 100002定义在:306）。这里不 reset、也不 finalize 调用方的 ACL。_acl_create_stream和_acl_bind_device（:3658/:3678）不再各自调用init()。acl_api()首次访问时已经完成初始化，stream 创建和 ACL 初始化的职责拆开了。
调用方先用自己的 pyACL / 框架初始化 ACL 并设好当前 device，再调 _acl_create_stream()，现在可以直接拿到 stream。

borrowed stream 存活用例会吞掉真正应当观察的失败
_run_case("init_refused") 在进入 finally 前，已经根据异常文字和 worker 的 initialized 状态把 result["ok"] 设为 true。之后唯一一次使用该 stream 的操作是这里的 _acl_destroy_stream(stream)，但任何异常都被吞掉，仍然会把原来的成功结果放入 queue。
因此，即使错误的 kernel_init 把调用方 stream 销毁或 reset 得失效，导致这里的 destroy 报错，test_borrowed_stream_survives_a_refused_kernel_init 仍可能通过：它只检查创建时的 stream_nonzero 和先前的 ok，未检查任何 init 之后的 stream 操作成功。
建议至少把 destroy 异常写入返回结果、将该 case 判失败，并在外层断言后续 stream 操作确实成功。通用 finally 可以采用 best-effort 清理，但不能把这种不检查结果的清理当作“借用 stream 没有被破坏”的验证。本意见仅由读取测试逻辑得出，未运行测试或故障注入。

已修改（908b31ab2）。
- finally 里
_acl_destroy_stream失败时记录stream_teardown_error，并把ok置为 False（test_kernel_mode_entry.py:139-143），不再吞掉异常。 test_borrowed_stream_survives_a_refused_kernel_init额外断言stream_destroyed is True，且结果里没有stream_teardown_error（:196-199）。
refused init 之后对该 stream 的操作只要失败，这个用例就会判失败。

kernel_prepare_callable 不应要求 caller_stream 入参
建议将 Python 接口收敛为 kernel_prepare_callable(chip_callable) -> int，移除 prepare 路径里的 stream 参数、默认 stream 解析和非空要求。这里的准备工作并不依赖调用方的执行 stream。
具体依据是当前 #2176 的实际调用链：
- kernel C prepare 入口 仅把 caller_stream 交给参数校验，随后调用不接收 stream 的
runner->prepare_kernel_callable(callable_id)。 - 实际准备函数 从 context 取得自己的专用 AICPU stream，用它执行注册；传入的 caller_stream 没有参与设备入队或 event 依赖。TMR 注册路径目前还会内部等待完成。
因此，参数目前只是一个必须满足非空检查的负担，并没有兑现这里 docstring 所说的“准备工作排入 caller stream，调用方同步该 stream 观察完成”的语义。签名与 K1 对齐，并不能证明这个参数在新的三 stream 设计中仍然必要。
即使后续把 prepare 改成异步，也不天然需要 caller_stream：可以由 runtime 内部的专用 AICPU stream FIFO 和必要的准备完成 event 建立与后续 launch 的依赖。只有真的要等待调用方 stream 的前序工作或在其上发布依赖时，该参数才有明确用途；当前代码没有这样的操作。
请将 K1 C ABI/参数校验、K2 实现、C++/nanobind 和 Python 封装一起对齐调整，不要只在一侧删除签名。若既有 ABI 需要兼容过渡，应另行明确过渡方式，不应把一个没有实际排序作用的 stream 要求继续暴露给 prepare 调用方。本条仅针对 prepare，不扩展为 kernel_init 的接口修改。
以上为静态代码及接口设计意见，未修改实现、未运行测试。

已在各层一起去掉（908b31ab2），依据 2026-09-14 会议结论"只有 kernel launch 需要 stream 入参"：
- C ABI：
simpler_kernel_mode_prepare_callable改为 4 参（runtime_c_api.h:634）。契约注释改为在 context 自有的 stream 上执行，不再写"在 caller_stream 上异步入队"。 - 参数校验：
validate_kernel_prepare_callable_args去掉 stream 参数和非空检查（kernel_entry_validation.h:66）。 - onboard / sim 两个桩、
ChipWorker::kernel_prepare_callable、nanobind 绑定同步修改；Python 接口收敛为kernel_prepare_callable(chip_callable) -> int（task_interface.py:1508）。 - 测试：K1 的校验 UT 删掉了 null-stream 的 prepare case，硬件测试里的 prepare 调用不再传 stream。
#2176 的 prepare 实现目前还是 5 参，rebase 时需要跟着改签名。

kernel_init 不应要求 caller_stream 入参
建议将 Python 接口收敛为 kernel_init(device_id, bins, config, context_generation=None, log_level=None)。这里初始化的是可复用的 runtime context，不是提交某一次 kernel 调用；当前 caller_stream 实际上没有参与初始化。
具体依据：
- 本文件第 1499 行调用
_impl.kernel_init(...)时没有传caller_stream；成功返回后，第 1509 行才将它保存到_kernel_caller_stream。 - C++
ChipWorker::kernel_init及其调用的 kernel C init 本来就没有 stream 参数。 - 对接的 K2
init_kernel_context创建 context 自有 stream，bootstrap/AICPU 初始化使用自有 AICPU stream，不需要借用 caller stream。
因此，init 要求调用方提前提供 stream 只是为了设置后续调用的默认值，并非初始化所需。docstring 用“C ABI 拒绝 null stream”解释这里的必填要求也不准确：这个约束并不属于 kernel C init。将默认执行 stream 固定在初始化阶段，还会使后续省略参数的 launch 继续使用初始化时的 stream，而不会跟随框架本次调用的 current stream。
请移除 init 的 caller_stream 参数、非空检查及默认 stream 保存，并同步调整依赖这个默认值的解析逻辑和文档，避免只删除签名。真正执行时仍由 kernel_launch 接收本次调用的 stream；无需为此给底层 C++/C init 增加 stream 参数。
本条仅针对 kernel_init 的接口职责，不扩展到全局单例/防重入设计，也不重复之前的 prepare 意见。以上依据静态代码阅读，未修改实现、未运行测试。

- Python 接口改为
kernel_init(device_id, bins, config, context_generation=None, log_level=None)（task_interface.py:1447）。caller_stream参数、非空检查和_kernel_caller_stream默认值都删了，依赖它的_resolve_caller_stream一并删除。 kernel_launch(callable_id, args, caller_stream)（:1526）每次调用显式接收 stream，跟随调用方本次的 current stream。- 原来测 init 拒绝 null stream 的用例改成测
kernel_launch。 - C++ / C 的 init 没有增加 stream 参数。

K1 resolved the four kernel-mode C entries and nulled them on every teardown path, but nothing read them. This gives them callers, from C++ and from Python, so a caller that already owns a device and a stream can drive a kernel context through init, prepare, launch and close. The platform refuses all four today, so the lifecycle that completes is the refusal. What the wiring has to show is that the refusal came back from the C ABI rather than from the host side, which is what the tests assert by distinguishing UNSUPPORTED from INVALID_STATE from INVALID_ARGUMENT. Asserting merely "nonzero" would also pass for a call that never reached the ABI. simpler_kernel_mode_prepare_callable no longer takes a caller stream. Launch is the only kernel entry that does: preparation runs on streams the context owns, so a stream parameter on prepare carried no ordering and was only null-checked. The signature, its contract comment, the shared validation, both platform stubs, ChipWorker, the binding and the Python wrapper move together, and K1's validation UT drops its null-stream prepare case. ChipWorker gains kernel_init / kernel_mode_supported / kernel_prepare_callable / kernel_launch. kernel_init is a second init rather than a parameter on the existing one because simpler_init latches PROGRAM unconditionally and the latch is write-once. It shares everything that binds a runtime -- dlopen, the dlsym surface, the PipelineContract check, create_device_context -- and diverges at the single call that decides the context's identity. It creates neither the per-slot native-run storage nor the ChipRunLane: both back the program-mode native-run surface, whose entries all bounds-check that storage and refuse on an empty one. It accepts but does not publish the PipelineContract, while still rejecting an incompatible module at init rather than at first launch. A kernel init that reaches the entry and fails may already hold resources: the entry creates stream and event handles before it loads a runtime. destroy_device_context refuses a context with live resources and returns void, so destroying first would discard the only handle that can reclaim them. A non-zero init therefore calls finalize_device first and destroys only on success; otherwise the context, its bindings and the library stay alive and device_teardown_owed_ keeps finalize() able to retry, since initialized_ never became true. The runtime binding and its rollback move into bind_runtime_symbols() and reset_runtime_bindings(). bind_runtime_symbols returns the four kernel entries unpublished, and an init installs them only once its runtime is up, so a worker whose init failed holds null kernel entries. A lookup that fails partway rolls back every member it had already installed, and init() resets the bindings on its two throws between binding and simpler_init, so no member outlives the module DlHandleGuard unloads. The rollback list stood in three hand-maintained copies and two had drifted -- the catch block omitted comm_derive_context_fn_ and finalize() omitted simpler_init_fn_. Neither was observable, but one definition now serves every site and corrects both. On the Python side the binding gains the four methods plus the generation minter. caller_stream crosses kernel_launch as a uint64_t integer address, the convention register_callable_from_blob already uses for a raw pointer and the shape torch_npu.npu.current_stream().npu_stream has. kernel_init takes no stream and kernel_launch takes one per call, so a launch follows the framework's current stream instead of one fixed at init. context_generation is minted by a process-wide counter starting at one; callers may pass their own. _acl_create_stream / _acl_destroy_stream / _acl_bind_device let a caller that is not a framework stand up the borrowing side itself. AclRuntimeApi::init() accepts ACL_ERROR_REPEAT_INITIALIZE. aclInit is process-wide, and in kernel mode the framework lending the device has already run it, so treating the repeat as an error failed every helper for a caller that did nothing wrong. Nothing here finalizes ACL either way. ChipWorker.finalize() no longer clears its three registries in a finally. They record what the runtime still holds, so clearing them when the native finalize raised reports everything released while the runtime still owns it, and leaves a CleanupJournal retry with nothing to act on. The host-log flush stays unconditional. buffer_pool_manager.h's notify_ready_waiters takes std::scoped_lock, the header's only remaining std::lock_guard, which clang-tidy's modernize-use-scoped-lock reports through the sim stub. Both new tests do their own aclInit, aclrtSetDevice and aclrtCreateStream and lend that stream in; letting simpler stand the device up would exercise the program-mode shape and pass for the wrong reason. One Python case drives a program init on the same build to show that path is unchanged and that the two identities stay mutually exclusive on one worker. Another checks that a stream operation issued after a refused kernel_init succeeds, and fails when it does not rather than swallowing the error. A case whose child hangs past 300 s is terminated and reaped before it fails. The runtime marker on them is what makes conftest's resource phase dispatch them rather than deselect them. The a2a3 lane builds hardware targets by name, so the new one joins that line. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

K1 resolved the four kernel-mode C entries and nulled them on every teardown path, but nothing read them — they land in
privatemembers, so code outsideChipWorkercould not reach them even to try. This gives them callers, so a caller that already owns a device and a stream can drive a kernel context through init → prepare → launch → close.The platform refuses all four today (④K2 / #2176 owns the real implementation), so the lifecycle that completes is the refusal.

UNSUPPORTEDfromINVALID_STATEfromINVALID_ARGUMENT. Asserting merely "nonzero" would also pass for a call that never reached the ABI.ABI change:
