Description

Adds the com.microsoft::SpeculativePrefixCommit (opset 1) CUDA contrib operator for single-launch device-side speculative prefix verification, control/context state commit, and result-ring publication across $3 \le S \le 8$ verification rows ($B \ge 1$). The operator runs entirely on the device with zero host synchronization or dynamic allocation so it can be captured and replayed inside a CUDA Graph.

Summary of Changes

com.microsoft::SpeculativePrefixCommit Schema & CUDA Kernel

File	Change
onnxruntime/core/graph/contrib_ops/bert_defs.cc, ms_opset.h	Registers com.microsoft::SpeculativePrefixCommit(1) with attribute head_rows (3..8, default 8), 7 inputs (next_tokens, input_ids, status, ctl, ctx_commit, prefixes, ptrs), and 3 required outputs (head_c, updated_ctl, updated_ctx_commit), enforcing rank 1 ([rows]) or rank 2 ([batch, rows]) on next_tokens and propagating head_c shape [batch] only when next_tokens has a known shape
onnxruntime/contrib_ops/cuda/cuda_contrib_kernels.cc, onnxruntime/contrib_ops/cuda/llm/speculative_fold.{h,cc,cu}	Implements SpeculativePrefixCommit (MayInplace(3, 1) and MayInplace(4, 2)), launching one thread per batch item (PrefixCommitKernel) to match verifier predictions against draft tokens (input_ids[b, 1:rows]), write the updated 16-word control state (updated_ctl) and 2-word context pair (updated_ctx_commit) in-place or to disjoint output buffers, and publish an 8-word record to the per-request result ring after __threadfence_system()

Tests and Documentation

• onnxruntime/test/contrib_ops/cuda_kernels/speculative_fold_test.cc, cmake/onnxruntime_unittests.cmake: Kernel-level tests (FoldContribTest.*) covering all accepted prefix lengths for head_rows in {3, 4, 8}, in-place and disjoint state output buffers, multi-batch per-item state and result-ring progression, muted prefill (ctl[3] != 0), invalid metadata / ring validation flags (ctl[5]), verifier status aggregation, and CUDA Graph capture/replay.
• onnxruntime/test/contrib_ops/speculative_fold_op_test.cc: Session-level tests (SpeculativeFoldTest.*) covering batched $S=8$ commits through InferenceSession, multi-run state progression carrying updated_ctl / updated_ctx_commit across Run calls, muted prefill with variable row counts, shape inference with known and unknown next_tokens shapes, and rejection of invalid next_tokens ranks, missing required state outputs, or partially overlapping buffers.
• docs/ContribOperators.md, docs/OperatorKernels.md, docs/contrib_ops/cuda/speculative_fold.md: Regenerates schema/kernel tables and documents the operator interface, state aliasing contract, result-ring layout, error flags, and graph wiring.

Testing

• Run provider unit tests:
  onnxruntime_provider_test --gtest_filter="FoldContribTest.*:SpeculativeFoldTest.*"
• End-to-end verification on qwen_flash_next_int4_int8_rc3_contrib_dflash2 ($S=8$ DFlash2 speculative decoding).

Checklist

• Tests added/updated
• No breaking changes (or documented in description)
• Documentation updated (if applicable)

What changed in this PR

Adds CUDA contrib operators for multi-token prediction and speculative decoding directly on main, replacing the earlier stacked PR.

Changes:

• Implements NVFP4 MtpMoe projections and FoldMid2/FoldTail state updates.
• Adds schemas, CUDA registrations, and operator documentation.
• Adds internal kernel tests; fresh GPU execution remains outstanding.

[Akshay Sonawane (apsonawane)]

Pushed 24625bf to address both outstanding review threads and the common root cause of all six failed CUDA/TensorRT/plugin pipelines.

• Fixed speculative-fold session test compilation: explicitly include the status assertion header and reuse typed output names for the gsl::span-based Run overload in all three calls.
• Restore experimental operators to the correct support-level group in the generated documentation TOC.
• Validate the documented MtpMoe 1–65535 row range before output allocation and before any low-level CUDA access; add boundary regressions.

Validation: full-PR lintrunner apply/check-only passes, git diff --check passes, affected schema/kernel documentation matches the official Python renderer with source-derived metadata, entire TOC support-level/name ordering passes, and static validation placement checks pass.

No local builds or compilation were run. The new native tests were not executed locally. Fresh CI is triggered by this push and is not claimed green.
