Fix #7811
Issue: ZeRO-3 crashes when
zero.GatheredParametersis used withmodifier_rank=Noneand a parameter is modified in-place. The failure surfaced as an internal invariant assert in free_param, which is not actionable for users.Solution:
GatheredParametersnow detects in-place mutation withmodifier_rank=Noneand raises a clear, user-facing error early. The mutation check is synchronized across ranks to avoid divergence and hangs.This PR also raises a clearer error from free_param when parameters are still active in submodules.”
