What does this PR do ?

Align the RL CP>1 path with the working branch and add launcher/inference fixes so interactive smoke runs can collect rollouts, surface inference progress, and complete short training iterations reliably.

⚠️ For major changes (either in lines of code or in its impact), please make sure to first share a design doc with the team. If you're unsure what's the best way to do so, contact the @mcore-oncall.

Contribution process

Pre-checks

  • I have added relevant unit tests
  • I have added relevant functional tests
  • I have added proper typing to my code Typing guidelines
  • I have added relevant documentation
  • I have run the autoformatter.sh on my PR

Code review

Feel free to message or comment the @mcore-oncall to help accelerate your merge into main. The less complex your PR is, the faster it will be approved and merged!

All PRs start as draft. If you open a non-draft PR, it will be automatically converted to draft.

Step 1: Mark PR as "Ready for Review"

  1. When your PR is ready, click Ready for Review.
  2. An oncall reviewer is auto-assigned and expert reviewers are notified based on your changes.
    • Some PRs may jump straight to step 2. This is determined by .github/CODEOWNERS.

⚠️ Only mark as ready once merge-conflicts are resolved and the CI is passing.
Final Review might get declined if these requirements are not fulfilled.

Step 2: Final Review

For PRs that change megatron/core, once all expert reviewers have approved, the Final Review label is applied automatically and final reviewers are assigned.

For PRs outside megatron/core, this step is skipped.

Step 3: Approved

Once all required reviewers have approved, the Approved label is applied automatically.

Merge

Any member of mcore-engineers will be able to merge your PR.

For MRs into `dev` branch The proposed review process for `dev` branch is under active discussion.

MRs are mergable after one approval by either eharper@nvidia.com or zijiey@nvidia.com.

Align the RL CP>1 path with the working branch and add launcher/inference fixes so interactive smoke runs can collect rollouts, surface inference progress, and complete short training iterations reliably.
Remove the temporary inference request logging and restore the original host behavior while keeping the core RL context-parallel changes intact.

please dont grab from global groups. you can see grabbing groups here https://github.com/ankisinha-nvidia/Megatron-LM/blob/24d79d247a683ef4648039d39c657c7257d19871/megatron/rl/rl_utils.py#L527 how it can be done
