[Fix main GPU test] Preserve temporal sampling cutoffs with cuGraph 26.10

[aw471]

SDM must select related records at or before the prediction cutoff. cuGraph 26.10 changed its temporal sampling API, causing the existing call to fail.

Example: records have timestamps [3, 8, 12], and the prediction cutoff is 10. The correct output is [3, 8]; timestamp 12 is future information.

Version / call	Behavior	Output timestamps
26.8: time 10, decreasing sampling, disjoint_sampling=False	Select times ≤ 10	[3, 8]
26.10: same call	Rejects disjoint_sampling=False	Error
26.10: only change to disjoint_sampling=True	Supplied time is now a lower bound: select times ≥ 10	[12] — incorrect

Fix: use each version’s supported disjoint default and reverse timestamps with bitwise_not(). The graph times become [-4, -9, -13], and the cutoff becomes -11. Increasing sampling selects values ≥ -11, which correspond to the original timestamps [3, 8].

SDM’s public API and original cutoff at every hop remain unchanged. Expanded regressions cover separate cutoffs for duplicate roots, examples with no eligible neighbors, and bounded/full fanout.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved temporal graph sampling so results consistently respect seed cutoff times. This applies when sampling a limited number of neighbors as well as when sampling without a fanout limit, helping ensure that sampled neighbors match the requested time window.

Walkthrough

CuGraphRelationalSampler now inverts edge timestamps and seed cutoffs before temporal sampling. It uses increasing comparison and leaves disjoint_sampling to cuGraph’s default. Tests cover bounded and unlimited fanout.

Changes

Temporal Sampling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Timestamp handling and sampling sdm/relational/backend/_cugraph.py, test/relational/backend/test_cugraph.py	The sampler inverts graph edge timestamps and seed cutoffs, and changes the temporal comparison mode to increasing. It no longer sets disjoint_sampling=False. The test covers bounded and unlimited fanout and checks results for three seeds, including retained roots.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 45291

Samples with missing task times can silently omit finite-timestamp neighbors. This is a narrow edge case, but it should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merging.

490-497: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Treat null task cutoffs as unbounded before inversion.

NaT task cutoffs are accepted by the datetime-typed API and reach seed_time[frontier_example].bitwise_not(). The inversion changes NaT from int64 minimum to maximum. With the increasing lower-bound comparison, this can admit only NaT edges and exclude finite eligible edges. The merge-base behavior admitted those edges. Normalize NaT cutoffs to int64 maximum before inversion.

Suggested fix

+        cutoff = seed_time[frontier_example]
+        cutoff = cutoff.masked_fill(
+            cutoff == NaT,
+            torch.iinfo(torch.int64).max,
+        )
         result = (
             self._pylibcugraph.heterogeneous_uniform_temporal_neighbor_sample(
                 self._resource_handle,
                 self._graph,
                 "edge_start_time",
                 cp.from_dlpack(frontier_node),
-                cp.from_dlpack(seed_time[frontier_example].bitwise_not()),
+                cp.from_dlpack(cutoff.bitwise_not()),
