Description
Describe the bug
When running Stage 3 with full_warm_up_rounds=0, the training fails with the following error:
AttributeError: 'Parameter' object has no attribute 'complete_column_offset'
This seems to be related to attribute propagation or initialization during parameter setup.
Thanks @tohtana for pointing this out in the PR #7793.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Configure Stage 3 with
full_warm_up_rounds=0 - Launch training as usual
- Observe the
AttributeErrorduring backward or parameter initialization
Expected behavior
Training should run normally without attribute errors, even when full_warm_up_rounds=0.
Additional context
This likely needs a small fix in attribute initialization or propagation logic.
I’ll open a follow-up PR once the root cause is confirmed.
