Learning: In TensorRT-LLM, test files (files under tests/ directories) do not require NVIDIA copyright headers, unlike production source code files. Test files typically start directly with imports, docstrings, or code.

Learning: In TensorRT-LLM testing, it's common to have both CLI flow tests (test_cli_flow.py) and PyTorch API tests (test_llm_api_pytorch.py) for the same model. These serve different purposes: CLI flow tests validate the traditional command-line workflow, while PyTorch API tests validate the newer LLM API backend. Both are legitimate and should coexist.

Learning: In TensorRT-LLM, examples directory can have different dependency versions than the root requirements.txt file. Version conflicts between root and examples dependencies are acceptable because examples are designed to be standalone and self-contained.

Learning: Applies to **/*.{cpp,h,hpp,cc,cxx,cu,py} : All TensorRT-LLM Open Source Software code should contain an NVIDIA copyright header that includes the current year. This includes .cpp, .h, .cu, .py, and any other source files which are compiled or interpreted.

Learning: In TensorRT-LLM's multimodal processing pipeline, shared tensor recovery using `from_shared_tensor()` is only needed during the context phase. Generation requests reuse the already-recovered tensor data and only need to call `strip_for_generation()` to remove unnecessary multimodal data while preserving the recovered tensors. This avoids redundant tensor recovery operations during generation.

Learning: CUTLASS extension files (under cpp/tensorrt_llm/cutlass_extensions/) follow CUTLASS coding style conventions, including using #pragma once instead of TRTLLM_ prefixed header guards, even though they are .hpp files.

Learning: TensorRT plugins currently don't support padding functionality, and TensorRT is not getting new features (in maintenance mode). This means that duplicating parameters like mExpertHiddenSize in function calls, even with TODO comments, can be acceptable as pragmatic solutions within these constraints.

Learning: In the TensorRT-LLM waive list merging system, removed lines are always located at the end of the merge waive lists, which is why the mergeWaiveList.py script uses reverse traversal - it's an optimization for this specific domain constraint.

Learning: In tensorrt_llm/executor/worker.py, the LoRA adapter cache optimization logic that checks `is_adapter_in_cpu_cache()` and conditionally passes None for weights/config has a known race condition issue that cannot be solved with simple error handling or verification checks. This is a known limitation that requires a more comprehensive solution.
