What does this PR do ?

Fixes Automodel GRPO release recipes that can crash when truncated_importance_sampling_ratio is configured without an explicit truncated_importance_sampling_type.

The Qwen3.5 DAPO and GLM-4.7 Flash Automodel recipes already set truncated_importance_sampling_ratio: 2, but did not set the corresponding sampling type. This PR sets loss_fn.truncated_importance_sampling_type: tis in both recipes so the ratio is interpreted through the intended TIS path.

Additional release-test stabilization:

  • Keeps the GLM release test median train/token_mult_prob_error check.
  • Removes only the GLM step-30 point check for train/token_mult_prob_error, which has high tail variance.
  • Keeps train/gen_kl_error as the policy/generation mismatch check.

Usage

No user-facing usage change. This updates release recipe/test configuration only.

Pre checks:

  • Make sure you read and followed Contributor guidelines
  • Did you write any new necessary tests?
  • Did you run the unit tests and functional tests locally? Visit our Testing Guide for how to run tests
  • Did you add or update any necessary documentation? Visit our Document Development Guide for how to write, build and test the docs.

Additional Information

Validation performed:

  • bash -n tests/test_suites/llm/grpo-glm47-flash-4n8g-automodel.sh
  • Qwen3.5 DAPO Automodel release rerun passed after setting truncated_importance_sampling_type: tis.
  • GLM-4.7 Flash Automodel rerun completed 30 steps. The retained checks passed:
    • median(train/token_mult_prob_error) = 1.059859812259674 < 1.1
    • mean(train/gen_kl_error) = 0.007180878799408675 < 0.01
    • train/reward[30] = 0.666015625 > 0.3
    • max(validation/accuracy) = 0.5291666388511658 > 0.2
    • mean(train/grad_norm) = 0.15234075884024303 < 0.6
  • The removed GLM single-step check was train/token_mult_prob_error[30] < 1.1; the rerun observed 17.038604736328125 at step 30 while the median and KL checks remained healthy.
