Daniel Han 6a078b1a45 docker: close more pip-shim bypasses and make cu12.8 NVRTC the default
Notebook pip/uv shim (docker/unsloth_pip_shim.py, active only under
UNSLOTH_NB_SHIM=1):
  - Parse protected source archives (sdist/zip) by basename too, e.g.
    `pip install https://.../unsloth-2026.7.1.tar.gz` or `./torch-2.11.0.tar.gz`,
    mirroring the wheel-basename handling. A first-hyphen-before-digit split
    keeps hyphenated names like flashinfer-python intact.
  - Recognise uv's PLURAL long flags --requirements / --constraints, so those
    files go through the same protected-package filter as the singular names.
  - Drop --upgrade-strategy eager in shim mode so a kept target cannot eagerly
    rebuild already-satisfied baked deps (falls back to pip's only-if-needed).

NVRTC default (docker/Dockerfile, docker/Dockerfile.studio, docker/entrypoint.sh):
  - Make cu12.8 the immutable baked default (libnvrtc.so.12 -> .cu128.orig) with
    a staged .cu13 alias, and have select_cuda_jit_tools retarget to cu13 ONLY
    for sm_103/sm_121. Previously cu13 was baked as the default and restored to
    cu12.8 at runtime, so a non-root `docker run --user` container that cannot
    rewrite the symlink stayed on cu13 NVRTC and emitted cubins a 570-579 driver
    cannot load. The safe default now needs no runtime write.

Adds regression tests for each case (tests/python/test_unsloth_pip_shim.py,
tests/sh/test_select_cuda_jit_tools.sh).

# Container startup checks for Unsloth.
#
# Fails fast with actionable error messages when the host GPU isn't reachable,
# instead of letting torch crash deep with cryptic CUDA errors. Catches the
# three failure modes that cover ~95% of "it doesn't work" tickets:
#
# 1. nvidia-smi inside the container can't see any GPU
# - User forgot --gpus all
# - Host missing nvidia-container-toolkit
# 2. nvidia-smi works but torch.cuda.is_available() is False
# - Host driver too old for CUDA 12.8
# 3. GPU attaches but is older than Ampere (sm < 80)
# - Unsloth requires sm_80+
#
# Bypass for offline tooling / docs / CI:
# docker run -e UNSLOTH_SKIP_GPU_CHECK=1 ...

# --- CUDA JIT toolchain selection (device-gated) ----------------------------
# The image bakes CUDA 13 ptxas + NVRTC ONLY so the two Blackwell datacenter
# arches the cu12.8 tools cannot target -- sm_103 (B300 / GB300) and sm_121
# (GB10 / DGX Spark) -- can JIT Triton and torch/NVRTC kernels. Both launched
# AFTER cu12.8, so any host carrying them runs a >= 580 driver, which is exactly
# what a cu13-produced cubin needs to LOAD.
#
# Every OTHER supported arch (Turing..sm_120) works with the bundled cu12.8
# tools and is allowed on a 570-579 driver (the documented floor). A cu13 cubin
# CANNOT load on a 570-579 driver even when it targets an old arch like sm_80
# (CUDA has forward, not backward, driver compatibility across major versions),
# so routing those hosts' JIT through the cu13 tools would break ordinary
# training. ptxas/NVRTC are host-side compilers (they never link libcuda), so
# they RUN under any driver -- it is only their OUTPUT the older driver rejects.
#
# Pick per DEVICE at boot (the compute capability is unknown at build time):
# cu12.8 is the immutable baked default (loadable on every supported 570+
# driver), and only sm_103 / sm_121 -- which ship on >= 580 drivers -- switch
# Triton to cu13 ptxas and retarget the venv NVRTC symlink to the staged cu13
# alias. Runs before every early-exit below so the selection always applies.
# Best-effort: because the safe default needs no write, a non-root / read-only
# rootfs is always fine; only the rare non-root datacenter host cannot switch.

Likely causes (in order of frequency):
1. You started the container without --gpus all.
Re-launch with:
docker run --gpus all <other-flags> unsloth/unsloth:latest <cmd>
Or use the bundled wrapper:
bash docker/run.sh <cmd>
2. Host is missing nvidia-container-toolkit.
Install: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/install-guide.html
Then: sudo systemctl restart docker
3. nvidia-container-toolkit is installed but the Docker daemon was not
restarted after install. Run:
sudo systemctl restart docker
4. You are using Podman / Kubernetes / a managed container service that
needs a different GPU flag than --gpus all. See the relevant docs:
podman: --device nvidia.com/gpu=all
k8s: nvidia.com/gpu resource request + GPU operator
5. This host has no NVIDIA GPU at all (Docker Desktop on macOS, Windows
without WSL2 GPU support, CPU-only Linux). Training and loading Unsloth
models need a GPU, but Jupyter, GGUF tooling and llama.cpp (GGUF) Studio
chat work on CPU:
docker run -e UNSLOTH_ALLOW_CPU=1 ...
To bypass this check entirely (e.g. offline tooling), set UNSLOTH_SKIP_GPU_CHECK=1.
