Cherry-picked PRs

#1839, #1857 and #1869 were back-ported (not a clean cherry-pick): the file was
renamed llm_ptq -> hf_ptq (#1759) and surrounding get_model code diverged on
main, but the actual fix targets the init_empty_weights / from_config block that
already exists on the release branch. Accompanying unit tests were ported (15 passed).

### What does this PR do?

Type of change: Bug fix <!-- Use one of the following: Bug fix, new
feature, new example, new tests, documentation. -->

This is hit when NeMo-RL starts the ModelOpt Megatron policy worker for
a quantized run. The worker imports `modelopt.torch.quantization` during
Ray actor initialization, before training starts. ModelOpt then imports
`quant_linear`, which imports `backends`; backend registration imports
`nvfp4_gemm`, and the old `nvfp4_gemm` module imports `RealQuantLinear`
back from the still-initializing `quant_linear` module. The result is a
Python partial-initialization import cycle during worker startup.

Keep backend module import/registration independent of `quant_linear`
completion. Import `RealQuantLinear` only inside the backend
availability check, after `quant_linear` has finished initializing,
while preserving the explicit `isinstance(module, RealQuantLinear)`
check.

…xample (#1808)

### What does this PR do?

Type of change: documentation

TensorRT-Edge-LLM v0.8.0 consolidated its CLI entry points, leaving the
example commands in `examples/torch_onnx/README.md` referencing tools
that no longer exist (e.g. `tensorrt-edgellm-export-visual`). This
updates the README to the current interface:

- `tensorrt-edgellm-quantize-llm` / `tensorrt-edgellm-quantize-draft` →
`tensorrt-edgellm-quantize {llm,draft}` (subcommands)
- `tensorrt-edgellm-export-llm` / `-export-visual` / `-export-draft` →
unified `tensorrt-edgellm-export` with positional `model` / `output_dir`
args and automatic VLM/audio component detection
- `--is_eagle_base` → `--eagle-base`
- Updated the CLI Tools table and the LLM / VLM / EAGLE examples
accordingly

### Usage

N/A — documentation change.

### Testing

Verified against the live `main` branch of TensorRT-Edge-LLM by running
the actual entry-point code (`python -m
tensorrt_edgellm.scripts.quantize/export`):

- `--help` runs cleanly for `quantize`, `quantize llm`, `quantize
draft`, and `export`; all documented flags (`--model_dir`,
`--output_dir`, `--quantization`, `--base_model_dir`,
`--draft_model_dir`, positional `model`/`output_dir`, `--eagle-base`)
are present.
- Drove the parser with the exact README commands — they parse and
advance into the real quantize/export logic.
- Confirmed the old names are gone: `quantize-llm` subcommand rejected,
`--is_eagle_base` rejected, `scripts.export_visual` module not found.

…eakly-typed models (#1627)

Type of change: Bug fix

ONNX INT8 + FP16 quantization (`--quantize_mode int8
--high_precision_dtype fp16`) crashed with a `ShapeInferenceError` on
weakly-typed models (e.g. TensorFlow exports). Two root causes, both
fixed in `modelopt/onnx/utils.py`:

- **Stale rank-0 output shapes.** Such models can declare a
`graph.output` rank that conflicts with the graph topology — typically a
leftover rank-0 (scalar) annotation on a tensor that is really rank-2+.
A stale rank-0 passes `onnx.checker` (a scalar is valid) but poisons
downstream shape inference: ORT fails while augmenting the model for
INT8 calibration (`axis must be in [-rank, rank-1]. Input rank was 0`),
and `onnx.shape_inference(strict_mode=True)` raises `Inferred shape and
existing shape differ in rank` during FP16 autocast.
`clear_stale_value_info` now reconciles stale output shapes — it clears
and re-derives them from the operator graph via ORT symbolic shape
inference (falling back to the size-aware `infer_shapes` wrapper) and
adopts the inferred shape. A graph output is never left without a shape
field (which `onnx.checker` requires); an output whose shape cannot be
re-derived keeps its original declaration.

- **Ops ONNX static shape inference can't resolve.** The same models can
contain ops (e.g. `TopK`) that ONNX's static shape inference gives up
on, leaving downstream tensors untyped and breaking AutoCast's type
lookups. `infer_types` now falls back to the schema-based standalone
type inferencer when ONNX shape inference raises or leaves tensors
untyped, running the fallback on the shape-inferred model so any shapes
ONNX did derive are preserved.

Healthy models are unaffected: re-inference reproduces their existing
output shapes, and a fully typed graph skips the fallback.

```bash
python -m modelopt.onnx.quantization \
  --quantize_mode int8 --high_precision_dtype fp16 \
  --onnx_path model.onnx --output_path model_int8_fp16.onnx
```

- Added CPU-only unit tests in `tests/unit/onnx/test_onnx_utils.py`:
stale rank-0 output reconciliation, preservation of a valid output
shape, and the type-inference fallback on a `TopK`-overflow model. Run:
`CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="" pytest tests/unit/onnx/test_onnx_utils.py`.
- Verified end-to-end on a weakly-typed object-detection model that
previously failed: the command now completes and produces a valid
quantized FP16 model (`onnx.checker` passes, ORT loads it,
QuantizeLinear/DequantizeLinear nodes inserted, FP16 initializers
present, all graph-output ranks correct).
- Full `tests/unit/onnx` suite: no new failures versus the base branch.

* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved mixed-precision/FP16 conversions to prevent stale or missing
shape/type metadata. Output tensor rank/shape declarations are
reconciled after clearing stale info, and stricter ONNX shape/type
inference now falls back to standalone type inference when certain ops
can’t be resolved.

* **Tests**
* Expanded ONNX utility and autocast test coverage for fixing rank-0
output shapes, preserving valid static and dynamic `dim_param` output
declarations, and verifying strict-mode fallback for unresolved `TopK`
during FP16 conversion.

### What does this PR do?

Type of change: Bug fix

Fixes [NVBug 6360175](https://nvbugspro.nvidia.com/bug/6360175) /
OMNIML-5265: quantizing a model whose weights are stored natively in FP8
(e.g. DeepSeek-V3 in `float8_e4m3fn`) crashes during `mtq.quantize`
calibration with:

```
File ".../modelopt/torch/quantization/utils/core_utils.py", line 162, in reduce_amax
    max_val = torch.max(input)
NotImplementedError: "max_all_cuda" not implemented for 'Float8_e4m3fn'
```

**Root cause:** FP8 dtypes (`float8_e4m3fn` / `float8_e5m2`) implement
no full-tensor reduction kernel (`max_all_cuda`/`min_all_cuda`), nor
`amax`/`amin`, `abs`, or elementwise `maximum`. `reduce_amax` called
these directly on the FP8 weight tensor.

**Fix:** Upcast FP8 inputs to the default float dtype
(`torch.get_default_dtype()`) at the top of `reduce_amax`, before any
reduction. The upcast is **lossless** (any default float dtype
represents every FP8 value exactly) and only affects the FP8 path — the
common (fp16/bf16/fp32) path is untouched. Placing the upcast at the top
covers all branches (`torch.max`/`min`, `torch.amax`/`amin`,
`torch.abs`), not just the line in the traceback.

### Usage

No API change. Quantization of natively-FP8 checkpoints (e.g.
DeepSeek-V3 NVFP4 PTQ) now runs through calibration instead of raising.

### Testing

- New CPU regression test `test_reduce_amax_fp8` in
`tests/unit/torch/quantization/test_utils.py` covering both FP8 dtypes
(`float8_e4m3fn`, `float8_e5m2`) across all axis modes (`None`, `0`,
`1`, `(0, 1)`); asserts results equal the float reference and the output
dtype is the default float dtype. CPU reproduces the original error (no
FP8 reduction kernel there either), so the test is GPU-free.
- `pre-commit run --files ...` passes (ruff, mypy, bandit, license, rst
checks).

### Before your PR is "*Ready for review*"

### Additional Information

NVBug 6360175 is tagged `Committed_ModelOpt_0.45.0` (regression); the
changelog entry is under 0.45 and this will be cherry-picked to
`release/0.45` after merge.

Supersedes #1823, which got a stuck head ref (frozen at the original
commit, no sync on force-push) after the repo move
`TensorRT-Model-Optimizer` → `Model-Optimizer`; it could not be
re-synced or reopened, so this PR replaces it from the same branch.

…tion (#1826)

## What does this PR do?

**Type of change:** Bug fix

**Overview:** Adds `*vision_model*` and `*multi_modal_projector*` to the
`default_disabled_quantizers` PTQ unit so the Llama-4 vision branch
stays in BF16 by default.

## Details

The vision-exclusion patterns in
`modelopt_recipes/configs/ptq/units/default_disabled_quantizers.yaml`
(`*embed_vision*` / `*vision_tower*` / `*visual*`) cover gemma / Qwen-VL
/ Kimi naming but miss Llama-4, whose encoder is named `vision_model`
and whose projector is `multi_modal_projector`.

As a result, `general/ptq/nvfp4_default-kv_fp8` (and any recipe
importing this unit) quantized the Llama-4-Scout vision tower. Export
then crashed on `vision_model.patch_embedding.linear`, whose
`in_features=588` (3×14×14) is not divisible by the NVFP4 block size:

```
AssertionError: Weight shape is not divisible for block size for block quantization.
Failed to export module 'vision_model.patch_embedding.linear' (type=QuantLinear)
```

Adding the two patterns keeps the Llama-4 vision branch in BF16 by
default, matching the existing behavior for other VL models (gemma-4,
Qwen3.5-VL, Kimi).

Fixes NVBugs 6359097.

## Testing

- YAML validates and pre-commit (incl. `validate modelopt recipes`)
passes.
- The `-novit` recipes import this unit and inherit the fix
automatically.

…er) (#1760)

### What does this PR do?

Type of change: Bug fix

Adds a new built-in PTQ recipe `general/ptq/nvfp4_mlp_only-novit-kv_fp8`
that is identical to `nvfp4_mlp_only-kv_fp8` but excludes the VL vision
tower from quantization.

**Root cause (NVBugs 6287461):** The bare `*mlp*` enable globs in
`nvfp4_mlp_only-kv_fp8` also match VL vision-tower block MLPs (e.g.
Kimi-K2.5 `vision_tower.encoder.blocks.*.mlp.fc0/fc1`). Quantizing the
ViT FFNs to NVFP4 is both quality-harmful (degenerate image embeddings)
and can break export: Kimi-K2.5's MoonViT `vt_intermediate_size=4304` is
not divisible by the NVFP4 packing constraint (2 × group_size = 32,
since 4-bit values pack 2-per-byte). `4304 = 16 × 269` is divisible by
16 but not 32, so the compressed-tensors export raises `ValueError:
tensor column shape must be divisible by the given group_size 32 but got
4304`. All language-model dims (2048 / 7168 / 18432) are divisible by 32
and quantize fine.

The new recipe appends `*visual*` / `*vision_tower*` disable rules
(after the `*mlp*` enables, so the disable wins), mirroring the existing
`nvfp4_mlp_only_mse-kv_fp8_cast-novit` recipe and NVIDIA's reference
`nvidia/Kimi-K2.5-NVFP4` checkpoint (which excludes the vision tower,
multimodal projector, attention, and lm_head).

### Usage

```bash
python hf_ptq.py --model /local/Kimi-K2.5 \
  --recipe general/ptq/nvfp4_mlp_only-novit-kv_fp8 \
  --batch_size 1 --calib_size 32 \
  --export_path /local/Kimi-K2.5-nvfp4_mlp_only-novit-kv_fp8 --trust_remote_code
```

### Testing

- Registered in the `tests/unit/recipe/test_loader.py` builtin smoke
list (`test_load_recipe_all_builtins`).
- Added a focused regression test
(`test_nvfp4_mlp_only_novit_recipe_disables_vision_quantizers`)
asserting the `*visual*` / `*vision_tower*` quantizers are disabled.
- All pre-commit hooks pass, including the `validate modelopt recipes`
hook.

for peer ranks that were never spawned. Prepend `WORLD_SIZE=1` to any of
the above commands to fix this.

### Usage

see examples/llm_eval/README.md

### Testing
Tested manually on a slurm interactive node with 8 GPUs.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Documentation**
* Updated the LLM evaluation baseline to explicitly support both
standard Hugging Face models and heterogeneous pruned Puzzletron
checkpoints.
* Added a Slurm interactive-nodes note advising `WORLD_SIZE=1` for
direct `python` runs, while noting distributed launch tooling handles
`WORLD_SIZE`.
  * Recommended using `--limit 10` for quick smoke tests.
* Simplified evaluation instructions by linking to the LM-Eval-Harness
guide instead of repeating commands/snippets.

…718750) (#1858)

Type of change: Bug fix

Fixes NVBug 5718750 (JIRA OMNIML-3159): a Qwen3-30B-A3B NVFP4 checkpoint
fails to load in vLLM/SGLang with
`AssertionError: Tried to load weights of size [128, 2048] to a
parameter of size [128, 1024]`.

**Root cause.** During unified HF export, `get_quant_config` records a
module in `exclude_modules` **only if it carries a quantizer** (even a
disabled one). MoE routers are intentionally kept in original precision
via the `*mlp.gate.*` / `*router*` disable patterns — but those only
*disable* a quantizer that already exists; they don't create one.

- On `transformers<5.0` the router (`mlp.gate`) is a plain `nn.Linear`,
so `mtq.quantize` attaches a (disabled) quantizer → it is recorded →
correctly listed in `exclude_modules`.
- On `transformers>=5.0` MoE experts are batched and the router is a
`TopKRouter` (not an `nn.Linear`), so it **never receives a quantizer**.
The exporter skips it (`has_quantizers == False`), so its BF16 weight is
written to the checkpoint but omitted from `exclude_modules`.
vLLM/SGLang then treat the router as a quantized (packed-FP4) weight and
fail to load it.

QA confirmed the failing export ran with **transformers 5.12.0**,
matching this analysis.

**Fix.** Detect MoE routers structurally — an MoE block that exposes an
`experts` container plus a weight-bearing `gate` / `router` /
`shared_expert_gate` submodule — and record any such router that is left
unquantized as `QUANTIZATION_NONE`, so it always lands in
`exclude_modules` regardless of whether a quantizer happens to be
attached. Routers the user opted to quantize (non-NONE format) are left
untouched.

No API change. The exported `hf_quant_config.json` / `config.json`
`ignore` list now contains the MoE router gates (e.g.
`model.layers.*.mlp.gate`) on the transformers-5 batched-experts path,
as it already did on transformers-4.

- New CPU unit test
`tests/unit/torch/export/test_get_quantization.py::test_moe_router_excluded_when_not_quantized`:
quantizes a fake MoE model whose router is a non-`nn.Linear`
`TopKRouter` (no quantizer attached) to NVFP4 and asserts the router
appears in `exclude_modules` while the quantized experts do not.
- `tests/unit/torch/export/test_get_quantization.py`,
`test_unified_export_hf.py`, `test_layer_utils.py` all pass.
- `pre-commit` (ruff, ruff-format, mypy, bandit, license) passes on the
changed files.

* **Bug Fixes**
* Exported quantization configs now always include unquantized
mixture-of-experts router/gate components, preventing downstream
weight-shape mismatches during loading.
* Improved detection for MoE routers/gates that aren’t standard linear
layers, ensuring they’re no longer inadvertently omitted when present.
* Added MoE-focused unit tests to confirm router exclusion behavior
while keeping quantized experts intact, including correct handling when
the MoE block is the root module.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR updates ONNX autocast inference and stale-shape handling, excludes MoE routers from quantized export, upcasts FP8 tensors before amax, changes several loader/config defaults, adds a PTQ recipe, and refreshes related documentation and tests.

Changes

ONNX Autocast and Shape Reconciliation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Strict inference in autocast conversion
modelopt/onnx/autocast/convert.py
convert_to_mixed_precision and convert_to_f16 now call infer_types(..., strict_mode=True).
Shared graph clearing utility
modelopt/onnx/autocast/precisionconverter.py, modelopt/onnx/autocast/utils.py
PrecisionConverter.convert() uses utils.clear_types_and_shapes_recursive, and the class-local recursive clearer is removed.
Fallback inference and output shape reconciliation
modelopt/onnx/utils.py
infer_types() falls back to standalone type inference on failure, and clear_stale_value_info() now reconciles stale graph.output shapes.
ONNX autocast and utility tests
tests/unit/onnx/autocast/test_autocast.py, tests/unit/onnx/test_onnx_utils.py
Tests cover strict conversion fallback, stale output-shape repair, dynamic dim preservation, and typed outputs after failed ONNX inference.

MoE Export Exclusion and FP8 Reduction

Layer / File(s) Summary
MoE router quant config wiring
modelopt/torch/export/quant_utils.py
_get_unquantized_moe_router_names detects MoE router/gate modules and get_quant_config marks them QUANTIZATION_NONE.
MoE export tests
tests/unit/torch/export/test_get_quantization.py
Tests build fake MoE modules and verify router exclusion, expert export quantization, and root-module router naming.
FP8 upcast in reduce_amax
modelopt/torch/quantization/utils/core_utils.py, tests/unit/torch/quantization/test_utils.py
reduce_amax upcasts FP8 inputs before reduction, and the regression test checks FP8 dtypes across axes.

Lazy Imports, Checkpoint Loading, and PTQ Recipe

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lazy backend imports
modelopt/torch/quantization/backends/fp8_per_tensor_gemm.py, modelopt/torch/quantization/backends/nvfp4_gemm.py
RealQuantLinear is imported inside the FP8 and NVFP4 availability checks instead of at module scope.
Sharded checkpoint load strategy
modelopt/torch/opt/plugins/mcore_dist_checkpointing.py
The plugin loads extra state with TorchDistLoadShardedStrategy().
Validation split rename and PTQ recipe
modelopt/torch/puzzletron/dataset/prepare_dataset.py, examples/puzzletron/configs/*/validate_model_defaults.yaml, modelopt_recipes/configs/ptq/units/default_disabled_quantizers.yaml, modelopt_recipes/general/ptq/nvfp4_mlp_only-novit-kv_fp8.yaml, modelopt_recipes/ptq.md, tests/unit/recipe/test_loader.py
valid is renamed to validation in Puzzletron dataset/config defaults, and a new NVFP4 MLP-only no-ViT PTQ recipe is added with matching config, docs, and loader tests.

Documentation Updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release notes and docs dependency pin
CHANGELOG.rst, pyproject.toml
CHANGELOG.rst adds bug-fix entries and pyproject.toml pins sphinx-argparse.
Evaluation docs
examples/llm_eval/README.md, examples/puzzletron/README.md
examples/llm_eval/README.md expands baseline guidance and removes the standalone Puzzletron subsection; examples/puzzletron/README.md points to the shared LM-Eval-Harness instructions.
TensorRT-Edge-LLM CLI docs
examples/torch_onnx/README.md
The CLI verification steps, tool listing, and LLM/VLM/EAGLE examples are updated to the consolidated command structure.

LLM PTQ Config Resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Config and dtype resolution
examples/llm_ptq/example_utils.py
example_utils.py re-derives init configs for remote-code models, resolves dtype from config fields, and applies dtype into model kwargs before init/load.
PTQ helper tests
tests/examples/llm_ptq/test_example_utils.py
Tests cover remote config re-derivation, fallback behavior, and dtype keyword selection in get_model.

Transplant the combined get_model fix from PRs #1839, #1857 and #1869
onto release/0.45.0's examples/llm_ptq/example_utils.py. These PRs could
not be cherry-picked directly because the file was renamed
llm_ptq -> hf_ptq (#1759) and surrounding get_model code diverged on main,
but the actual fix targets the init_empty_weights / from_config block that
already exists on the release branch:

- _resolve_init_config: re-derive a built-in config for remote-code
  checkpoints so device-map inference matches the model definition's
  version (fixes Nemotron-H moe_latent_size AttributeError on transformers
  5.x, #1839).
- _get_config_dtype / _apply_dtype_to_config: derive dtype from the
  resolved config and forward the DeciLM-supported dtype kwarg, dropping
  unsupported dtype forwarding on the real from_pretrained load
  (#1857, #1869).

Ports the accompanying unit tests (path-adjusted to llm_ptq).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Main-graph value_info clearing ignores the clear_shapes parameter.

In the else (main graph) branch, _clear(vi, clear_shape=True) is hardcoded, while the subgraph branch and the output-clearing loop correctly use the clear_shapes parameter. This means when a caller passes clear_shapes=False (e.g. PrecisionConverter with use_standalone_type_inference=True, intending to preserve shapes for type-only inference), main-graph intermediate shapes still get clobbered to "unk" — contradicting the function's own docstring ("clear_shapes: If True, also clear shapes (False keeps shapes for type-only inference)").

🐛 Proposed fix
         else:
             for vi in g.value_info:
-                _clear(vi, clear_shape=True)
+                _clear(vi, clear_shapes)

that conflicts with the graph topology -- most commonly a leftover rank-0
(scalar) annotation on a tensor that is really rank-2+. Such a stale rank poisons
downstream shape inference: ORT fails while augmenting the model for INT8
calibration (``axis must be in [-rank, rank-1]. Input rank was 0``), and
``onnx.shape_inference`` with ``strict_mode=True`` raises ``Inferred shape and
existing shape differ in rank`` during fp16 autocast.

Strategy: snapshot the declared output shapes, clear them, and re-derive them from
the operator graph -- preferring ORT's symbolic shape inference (it resolves ops
such as ``TopK`` that ONNX's static inference gives up on) and falling back to the
size-aware ``infer_shapes`` wrapper. A declared shape is only overwritten when it is
genuinely stale -- a rank mismatch (the rank-0-vs-rank-N bug) or a conflicting
concrete dimension. Outputs that merely differ in symbolic ``dim_param`` names (e.g.
a re-derived ``unk__0`` vs a declared ``batch``) keep their original declaration, so
healthy models -- including dynamic batch/sequence dims -- are left untouched. A
graph output is never left without a shape (``onnx.checker`` requires the field).

Args:
model: Loaded in-memory onnx ModelProto, ideally with ``value_info`` already
cleared so re-inference derives shapes from the operator graph.

Returns:
Number of graph outputs whose shape was changed.

🌐 Web query:

Does onnxruntime SymbolicShapeInference.infer_shapes mutate the input ModelProto in place or return a new copy?

💡 Result:

The onnxruntime.tools.symbolic_shape_infer.SymbolicShapeInference.infer_shapes function does not return a new copy of the ModelProto; it performs operations that can modify the input ModelProto object [1]. In the implementation of SymbolicShapeInference, the input ModelProto is used to initialize the state [2][3]. Specifically, within the preprocess method, a copy of the model is made using out_mp.CopyFrom(in_mp) for internal use, but the downstream processes and the way the tool is commonly invoked in practice often result in the original model object being mutated [2][1]. Evidence from user reports indicates that calling SymbolicShapeInference.infer_shapes on a model object can lead to changes being persisted in that same object, which is a known source of side effects [4][1]. If you need to preserve the original model, it is best practice to pass a deep copy of the ModelProto or explicitly load the model again if necessary [1].

🌐 Web query:

onnxruntime.tools.symbolic_shape_infer SymbolicShapeInference.infer_shapes mutates input ModelProto in place source

💡 Result:

The SymbolicShapeInference.infer_shapes method in ONNX Runtime generally performs its operations in a way that modifies the provided ModelProto object [1][2]. Users typically pass a ModelProto, and the method performs symbolic shape inference, updating the graph's value information (shapes and types) within that model object [1][2]. While Python objects are passed by reference and the tool is designed to work on the model structure, it is common practice to treat the resulting object as the updated model [2]. Developers often use the returned model or save the object after the call to ensure the changes are captured [2]. It is worth noting that historical development within the ONNX Runtime repository has highlighted the risks of mutable arguments in such utility functions, with efforts made to manage state explicitly [3]. Therefore, while the operation often mutates the model in place, you should rely on the returned ModelProto object to be safe [1][2].

ORT symbolic shape inference mutates the input model in place The comment here is inaccurate. The output-shape restore logic still works, but if preserving the cleared value_info state matters, deep-copy model before calling ORT or clear it again afterward.

_reconcile_stale_output_shapes is inaccurate because
SymbolicShapeInference.infer_shapes can mutate the input model in place. Update
the implementation around the ORT symbolic shape inference call to avoid relying
on the original model state being preserved: either operate on a deep copy of
the model before calling SymbolicShapeInference.infer_shapes, or restore any
cleared graph state afterward so the downstream output-shape reconciliation
logic remains correct.

Move import to top of file.

_get_unquantized_moe_router_names is imported inside the test function without justification (no circular-import or optional-dependency reason). Per path instructions, imports should be at module top so import errors surface at collection time.

As per path instructions: "Imports inside functions or test methods without explicit justification... Imports belong at the top of the file so import errors surface at collection time, not mid-test."
