run_pytest.sh hardcoded --level core, so the only shapes ever reachable were
each operator's core_shapes entry. FlagGems merges a subclass's
set_more_shapes() on top of that at --level comprehensive, and for BLAS that
addition is where the large GEMMs live: mm goes from 5 shapes to 29, taking in
four large-K tuples plus models_shapes/*.yaml, with N/K up to 152064. The
comprehensive path also yields each shape a second time (transposed, for BLAS),
so the case count doubles. None of that was reachable without editing the driver.
BENCH_LEVEL defaults to core, so existing runs are unchanged, and rejects
anything other than core/comprehensive rather than passing it through to pytest.
The chosen level is echoed in the run header, written into the archived
shapes.yaml, and recorded in run_identity.json, because an A/B whose two sides
used different levels is not comparable and is otherwise invisible afterwards.
Sweep cost scales with the shape count, so comprehensive on a BLAS operator
wants PARALLEL_WARMUP_GPUS.

Everything about which accelerator a run targets was previously spelled CUDA:
device discovery went through nvidia-smi, pinning through CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES,
the vendor guard only recognised NVIDIA, and the -p plugin list was hardcoded in
run_pytest.sh with no way to drop the CUDA-only members. Running the same
operator corpus on another vendor's device therefore meant editing the drivers.
The selection now hangs off one ZL_BACKEND variable (cuda/musa/rocm/ascend, with
the usual aliases):
- backends/ owns per-backend device enumeration, visibility env keys and
capability flags, so nothing above it names a vendor;
- plugin_plan.py derives the -p list from those capabilities instead of a
hardcoded array, which is what lets a non-CUDA run omit the graph-capture and
cluster-fix plugins rather than watch them fail;
- _timing_plugin selects the timer from the same capabilities: CUDA keeps
graph capture with its per-shape fallback, other backends stay on upstream
do_bench and record timer=direct, because capture-then-fallback on a device
without graph support only produces noise;
- _device_setup_plugin replaces the NVIDIA-only vendor guard;
- providers/flaggems.py resolves the pytest node, so a caller may pass TEST_NODE
directly instead of the OP/OP_FILE pair, and SHAPE_MODE=upstream can defer to
FlagGems' own core_shapes;
- _run_identity.py writes run_identity.json next to each run, recording backend,
device, timer, autotune mode and the resolved test node. Two runs whose
calibers differ are otherwise indistinguishable after the fact.
run_batch gains --backend and --devices (--gpus kept as an alias) and carries
backend/device/timer into ops_status.csv. test_backends.py covers the registry,
alias resolution, visibility env and plugin planning.
