Two errors visible in training logs on Windows ROCm:
1. Server process bitsandbytes crash:
"Configured ROCm binary not found at libbitsandbytes_rocm713.dll"
The installed BNB wheel ships rocm72.dll (not rocm713.dll). The
training worker already sets BNB_ROCM_VERSION=72 via DLL detection
but the server process (main.py) imported bitsandbytes before that
ran. Fix: add the same DLL-scan + BNB_ROCM_VERSION assignment to
main.py inside the existing win32 guard, before any downstream
import can pull in bitsandbytes.
2. torch.distributed import failure:
"No module named 'torch._C._distributed_c10d'; torch._C is not a package"
torch._C is a C extension on Windows ROCm — Python cannot do
submodule imports from it, so torch.distributed fails to import
before our attribute stubs could ever run. Fix: inject empty
ModuleType stubs for _distributed_c10d, _distributed_autograd and
_distributed_rpc into sys.modules inside the win32 guard in
hardware.py BEFORE importing torch.distributed, so the import
succeeds and our attribute stubs take effect.
