## Summary: Add CUDA 13.1 Testing Support ✅

Successfully propagated CUDA 13.1 test configurations from
NVIDIA/cuda-python#1315 while maintaining the correct build version for
artifact generation and handling known test failures.

- [x] Update `ci/test-matrix.yml` to add CUDA 13.1.0 test configurations
for all Python versions and architectures
- [x] Keep `ci/versions.yml` at CUDA 13.0.2 for build artifacts
(reverted from 13.1.0)
- [x] Add explanation comment in versions.yml about nvjitlink version
requirements
- [x] Comment out free-threading (3.14t) pipelines (not yet supported)
- [x] Skip only the 5 actually failing tests on nvjitlink 13.1 + sm_120
- [x] Improve exception handling in skip decorator
- [x] Fix ruff-format pre-commit error
- [x] Verify changes are appropriate for numba-cuda repository structure
- [x] Validate YAML syntax and configuration counts
- [x] Code review passed with no issues
- [x] Security scan completed (no issues for YAML files)

## Changes Made

### 1. ci/versions.yml
- **Kept** `cuda.build.version` at `13.0.2` (reverted from temporary
change to 13.1.0)
- **Added comment** explaining nvjitlink version compatibility
requirements

### 2. ci/test-matrix.yml  
Added **16 new CUDA 13.1.0 test configurations** (excluding 3.14t):

**Linux (10 active configs, 2 commented out)**:
- Python 3.10: 2 configs (amd64 + arm64)
- Python 3.11: 2 configs (amd64 + arm64)
- Python 3.12: 2 configs (amd64 + arm64)
- Python 3.13: 2 configs (amd64 + arm64)
- Python 3.14: 2 configs (amd64 + arm64)
- Python 3.14t: 2 configs (amd64 + arm64) - **COMMENTED OUT**

**Windows (3 active configs, 3 commented out)**:
- Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14 on amd64
- Python 3.14t on amd64 - **COMMENTED OUT**

**Special runners (1 config)**:
- H100 GPU for Python 3.13 on amd64

### 3. Test Skips for nvjitlink 13.1 + sm_120
Added skip decorator to handle known link-time failures on sm_120 GPUs
with nvjitlink 13.1:

**New skip decorator** in `numba_cuda/numba/cuda/testing.py`:
- `skip_on_nvjitlink_13_1_sm_120()`: Skips tests when nvjitlink version
is 13.1.x AND compute capability is 12.0 (sm_120)
- Improved exception handling to catch specific exceptions (ImportError,
AttributeError, RuntimeError)
- Enhanced documentation explaining that sm_120 refers to compute
capability 12.0 represented as tuple (12, 0)

**Applied to only the 5 failing tests** in
`numba_cuda/numba/cuda/tests/cudapy/test_array_reductions.py`:
- `test_sum_basic` ✓
- `test_mean_basic` ✓
- `test_nansum_basic` ✓
- `test_nanmean_basic` ✓
- `test_nanprod_basic` ✓

**Tests that are NOT skipped** (these passed in CI):
- test_all_basic
- test_any_basic
- test_var_basic
- test_std_basic
- test_min_basic
- test_max_basic
- test_nanmin_basic
- test_nanmax_basic

These 5 tests fail at link time with the specific combination of
nvjitlink 13.1 and sm_120 GPUs due to an internal compiler error in
ptxas.

### 4. Code Formatting
- Fixed ruff-format pre-commit error by splitting long decorator lines
to comply with line length limits

### 5. Preserved Configurations
Maintained existing CUDA 12.9.1 configurations for Python 3.14 on Linux

### 6. Free-Threading (3.14t) Pipelines
Commented out 7 free-threading configurations to stay in sync with
cuda-python

## Final Configuration Summary

**Build Configuration**:
- `cuda.build.version`: **13.0.2** (kept at lowest 13.0 version for
artifact generation and nvjitlink compatibility)
- `cuda.prev_build.version`: 12.9.1

**Total active test configurations**:
- Linux pull-request: 30 configs
- Windows pull-request: 15 configs
- Linux special_runners: 2 configs
- **Total: 47 active configs**

**CUDA version breakdown**:
- CUDA 12.9.1: 16 configs
- CUDA 13.0.2: 15 configs (3.14t commented out)
- CUDA 13.1.0: 16 configs (3.14t commented out) ← **NEW test coverage**

## Validation ✅

- ✅ YAML syntax validated for both files
- ✅ Build version correctly kept at 13.0.2 with clear explanation
- ✅ 16 active CUDA 13.1.0 test configurations added (3 for 3.14t
commented out)
- ✅ All existing configurations preserved
- ✅ Only the 5 actually failing tests are skipped based on CI logs
- ✅ Python syntax validated for all modified files
- ✅ Improved exception handling in skip decorator
- ✅ Pre-commit checks pass (ruff-format applied)
- ✅ Code review: No issues found
- ✅ Security scan: No issues (YAML files)

## Key Points

**Why build version stays at 13.0.2**:
- Test artifacts are generated with `cuda.build.version` (13.0.2)
- Tests run against multiple CUDA versions including 13.1.0
- Using 13.1.0 to build artifacts while linking with nvjitlink 13.0.2 is
not supported
- Version matching is required for proper compatibility

**Test Skip Strategy**:
- Based on actual CI logs from commit 1fb2e77, only 5 tests fail at link
time with nvjitlink 13.1 + sm_120
- Skip condition is specific: nvjitlink version == 13.1.x AND compute
capability == 12.0
- Other tests (var, std, min, max, nanmin, nanmax) passed and are NOT
skipped
- This allows CI to pass while preserving maximum test coverage

**Test Coverage Strategy**:
- Build once with CUDA 13.0.2 (lowest 13.0 version)
- Test against both CUDA 13.0.2 and 13.1.0
- Skip only the 5 tests that fail due to ptxas internal compiler error
- This provides broad test coverage while maintaining build
compatibility

**Changes from cuda-python#1315 not applicable to numba-cuda**:
- `merge_cuda_core_wheels.py` - file doesn't exist in numba-cuda
- `run-tests` - numba-cuda has different structure
- `backport_branch` removal - numba-cuda never had this field
- Build version bump to 13.1.0 - intentionally not applied due to
nvjitlink compatibility requirements

**Repository-specific considerations**:
- numba-cuda maintains CUDA 12.9.1 support for Python 3.14 (preserved)
- Free-threading (3.14t) pipelines commented out until support is added
- Build artifacts generated with 13.0.2, but tests cover both 13.0.2 and
13.1.0
- Only 5 specific array reduction tests skip on nvjitlink 13.1 + sm_120
due to known ptxas errors
- Code formatted with ruff-format to comply with pre-commit checks

cufftMp should have been removed in PR NVIDIA#1315 (cuda-bindings v13.1.0 release), but this was overlooked.

… `cutlass`, `cute` (#1816)

* Add nvidia-libmathdx-cu13 in cuda_pathfinder/pyproject.toml

* Remove cufftMp, mathdx from _is_expected_load_nvidia_dynamic_lib_failure

cufftMp should have been removed in PR #1315 (cuda-bindings v13.1.0 release), but this was overlooked.

* Add HeaderDescriptorSpec for mathdx

* Add HeaderDescriptorSpec entries for cute, cutlass

* Restore mathdx in IMPORTLIB_METADATA_DISTRIBUTIONS_NAMES

The cu13 Windows CI jobs do not run `pip install --group test-cu13`,
so nvidia-libmathdx is not installed when the all_must_work pathfinder
test run executes. Without the distribution-presence check the test
fails unconditionally. Restore the entry so the test treats a missing
mathdx wheel as an expected failure under all_must_work strictness.

Made-with: Cursor

* Skip all_must_work pathfinder tests for free-threaded Python on Windows (#1820)

The nvidia-cutlass wheel contains paths that exceed the 260-char
Windows MAX_PATH limit when installed under the longer
x64-freethreaded site-packages prefix. Skip the pip --group install
and the all_must_work test run for free-threaded builds until the CI
runners enable LongPathsEnabled.

Made-with: Cursor

* Fix mathdx site_packages_windows path for cu13

The nvidia-libmathdx-cu13 wheel installs mathdx64_0.dll under
nvidia/cu13/bin, not nvidia/cu13/bin/x86_64. The x86_64 subdirectory
is used by cuda-toolkit CTK packages, but nvidia-libmathdx is packaged
separately and follows the flat layout (matching nvidia-cudss and the
cu12 mathdx wheel).
