skieratandh-guo18 c94405e602 add Qwen3-VL support for DFlash training (#1975)
### What does this PR do?         

  Type of change: new feature

Adds online DFlash training support for Qwen3-VL–style vision-language
models.
                                                             
  Changes include:

- Load VLMs through the Transformers 5 `AutoModelForImageTextToText`
API, while retaining compatibility with the legacy VLM auto-model API.
- Run the base model through its top-level multimodal forward when
image/video inputs are present, ensuring vision embeddings are injected
before collecting DFlash target hidden states.
  - Extend `VisionLanguageDataCollator` to:
- propagate `answer_only_loss`, chat-template, and DFlash
label-alignment settings;
    - apply `VLM_MIN_PIXELS` / `VLM_MAX_PIXELS` processor limits;
- derive assistant-only masks from ChatML/Llama chat boundaries when
processor generation masks are unavailable;
- enforce the fixed `training_seq_len` required by DFlash block
training.
- Preserve the existing text-only DFlash path.
                                                             
### Usage

```bash                                                                
python -m torch.distributed.run \                                      
--nproc_per_node 4 \                                                 
examples/speculative_decoding/main.py \                              
--config modelopt_recipes/general/speculative_decoding/dflash.yaml \
model.model_name_or_path=/path/to/qwen3-vl-model \
model.trust_remote_code=true \
data.data_path=/path/to/train.jsonl \
data.vlm_processor=/path/to/qwen3-vl-model \

training.training_seq_len=4096 \
training.answer_only_loss=true \
dflash.dflash_block_size=8 \
dflash.dflash_mask_token_id=151669


### Testing
- git diff --check
- Parsed all modified Python modules successfully.
- Ran iterative multi-node Slurm smoke tests with a Qwen3-VL-family model and mixed multimodal data:
    - validated VLM model loading with Transformers 5;
    - validated distributed initialization, DFlash conversion, and VLM collation paths;
    - identified and addressed processor padding/truncation behavior required by fixed-size DFlash blocks.
This PR remains draft pending a completed end-to-end training smoke test and automated regression coverage.

### Before your PR is "Ready for review"
Make sure you read and follow Contributor guidelines (https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) and your commits are signed (git commit -s -S).
Make sure you read and follow the Security Best Practices (https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/blob/main/SECURITY.md#security-coding-practices-for-contributors) (e.g. avoiding hardcoded trust_remote_code=True, torch.load(...,
weights_only=False), pickle, etc.).
- Is this change backward compatible?: ✅
- If you copied code from any other sources or added a new PIP dependency, did you follow guidance in CONTRIBUTING.md: N/A
- Did you write any new necessary tests?: ❌ — automated Qwen3-VL/DFlash regression coverage still needs to be added before review.
- Did you update Changelog (https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst)?: ❌ — evaluate and add an entry before marking ready for review if this is considered user-facing speculative-decoding support.
- Did you get Claude approval on this PR?: N/A
### Additional Information
The PR intentionally excludes local Slurm launch scripts, logs, model paths, datasets, and environment-specific configuration.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
  * Expanded VLM data-collation controls, including `shift_labels` and more robust `answer_only_loss` masking.
  * Improved Qwen3-VL speculative decoding for Transformers 5.3+ with correct video frame grouping and safer position-id handling.
  * Improved DFlash RoPE export to reliably read `rope_theta` from newer config formats.

* **Bug Fixes**
  * Hardened multimodal preprocessing and training loss masking to keep label/attention alignment consistent.
  * Improved behavior when anchor sampling yields no valid blocks.
  * More resilient VLM model loading when certain Transformers auto classes are unavailable.

* **Tests**
  * Added coverage for RoPE export, Qwen3-VL position-id logic across Transformers versions, and VLM label-mode/collator options.
