What does this PR do?

As per title. Continues from #40793 and supersedes #36534

NOTE: config classes can't accept positional args anymore! I don't think anyone would use pos args anyway but marring the PR as breaking


Note

High Risk
Refactors PreTrainedConfig and many model config classes to @dataclass + huggingface_hub @strict validation, which can change initialization/serialization behavior and reject previously-accepted configs. Also enforces save-time validation and updates defaults/deprecations (e.g., use_return_dict), risking backward-compatibility across model loading and downstream integrations.

Overview
Adds strict config validation. PreTrainedConfig is converted to a @dataclass with huggingface_hub’s @strict, introduces built-in validators (architecture consistency, special token id ranges, layer type checks, output_attentions vs attn_implementation), and runs validate() automatically on save_pretrained.

Modernizes and standardizes model configs. Many model configuration classes are migrated from custom __init__ logic to dataclass fields + __post_init__, moving compatibility logic (e.g., defaulting sub-configs, key/value casting for JSON) into post-init and adding model-specific validate_architecture where needed.

API/behavior tweaks. Deprecates use_return_dict in favor of return_dict (and updates multiple model forward paths accordingly), adjusts RoPE validation ignore-key handling, narrows AutoTokenizer fallback exception handling, and bumps the minimum huggingface-hub requirement to >=1.5.0.

is it a good time to get rid of these general attributes and only have them for models that actually require them?

Vendor the HyperCLOVAX Vision config into vLLM to fix transformers v5
compatibility. The upstream remote code config does not handle empty
initialization (text_config=None), which breaks v5's @strict config
validation added in huggingface/transformers#41250.

Fixes: vllm-project#38387

TODO: Remove vendored config once HyperCLOVAX is upstreamed to
transformers. Tracking PR: huggingface/transformers#44956

AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B", dtype=torch.float32)
on transformers v5.5.4 returns bfloat16 tensors for hidden_states because
since v5.4.0 (huggingface/transformers#41250), the
`dtype` keyword argument is consumed by AutoConfig and not forwarded to the
model when the config has a nested text_config. Weights then load from the
checkpoint in bfloat16, and every hidden_state comes back bf16.

Two changes to test_qwen3_5:

1. Use `.float()` before `np.allclose` so it doesn't raise
   `TypeError: Got unsupported ScalarType BFloat16`, matching the existing
   pattern in tests/tx/models/test_qwen3.py.

2. Loosen the per-layer and final hidden_states tolerances from
   `rtol=1e-3, atol=1e-3` to `rtol=5e-3, atol=5e-3`. The HF reference is
   effectively bfloat16 at those checkpoints, so the prior float32-scale
   tolerance was unachievable — the observed layer-1 drift was ~3.6e-3 on
   a value of ~0.34.

when the config has a nested `text_config` — and Qwen3.5 does — per

from the checkpoint in bfloat16 and the model runs that way end-to-end,
diverging from the fp32 JAX model by ~6% at the final hidden state on
the 0.8B checkpoint — too much even for the prior rtol=2e-2.

Drop the silently-ignored `dtype=torch.float32` kwarg and chain `.float()`
on the loaded model so the HF reference actually runs in fp32, mirroring
the working pattern in test_qwen3.py (plain Qwen3 has no nested
text_config, so the kwarg is still honored there). Tolerances return to
rtol=1e-3, atol=1e-3.

Drop support for the `transformers` 4.x line and raise the minimum
supported version to 5.4.0 in `pyproject.toml`.

Why:
  - Upstream `transformers` switched `PreTrainedConfig` to dataclass
    in v5.4.0 (huggingface/transformers#41250).
  - Keeping 4.x would preserve incompatible behavior for this
    migration target.

BREAKING CHANGE: `transformers` 4.x is no longer supported; upgrade to
5.4.0 or later.
