The MLX CI workflow listed ``studio/backend/utils/hardware.py`` as a
path filter, but no such file exists. The actual layout is
studio/backend/utils/hardware/
__init__.py
amd.py
hardware.py
nvidia.py
vram_estimation.py
so the filter as written would never match. A reviewer modifying
``hardware/hardware.py`` (where ``detect_hardware``, ``DeviceType``,
and ``IS_ROCM`` actually live) would not trigger MLX CI, which
defeats the point of the focused PR gate.
Replace the broken filter with ``studio/backend/utils/hardware/**``
so any change in the hardware probe directory triggers MLX CI, and
add three sibling triggers that each materially affect dispatch:
- ``unsloth/_gpu_init.py``
Hosts ``from .models import *`` and the ``from .trainer import *``
chain. The trainer.py circular-import fix that landed in
``23550a8`` lives downstream of this file; a future change
here can re-introduce the same bug.
- ``studio/backend/core/inference/mlx_inference.py``
The MLX inference backend itself. It is the actual consumer
of ``unsloth_zoo.mlx_loader.FastMLXModel`` whose contract the
test_mlx_training_worker_behaviors.py AST checks guard.
Local re-run with the fix in place: 36 passed in 0.45s. No other
workflow file or test file is modified.
