[None][fix] Correct TPOT metric direction in perf sanity - #21197
Perf sanity treats mean, median, and P99 TPOT as metrics to maximize, so higher latency is reported as an improvement and calculated baselines use the high percentile. Move all three statistics to MINIMIZE_METRICS and update the metric documentation. For example, a TPOT increase from 6.08 to 15.24 ms now reports diff=-150.66%.
This isolates the TPOT correction from #18741. The default throughput-based pass/fail gate remains unchanged; TPOT is diagnostic unless explicitly selected for regression gating. This PR contains no MPI or subprocess-environment changes and does not claim to resolve the throughput excursion associated with the original PR.
Test Coverage
Added 15 CPU-only cases covering all three TPOT statistics: slowdown/improvement delta signs, explicit TPOT gating versus the default gate, and P5 selection from smoothed history. The existing unittest/others entry in l0_cpu.yml includes the new test file.
All 15 cases pass with the fix and fail against the original metric classification.
Ran the focused tests with project conftest and plugin loading disabled:
Applicable pre-commit checks passed. The unrelated openengine-bindings-check hook was excluded because its file patterns do not match this change; its pinned gRPC dependency otherwise builds from source on the local Python 3.15 host.
Dev Engineer Review
The harness now classifies mean, median, and P99 TPOT as lower-is-better metrics. This corrects slowdown delta signs while leaving the default throughput regression gate unchanged. The documentation describes TPOT’s diagnostic role and its P5 baseline. No MPI or subprocess-environment changes are reported.
QA Engineer Review
The new CPU-only test file adds 15 parameterized cases. It checks all three TPOT metrics, slowdown and improvement deltas, explicit TPOT gating versus the default gate, and low-latency percentile baseline selection. The test is covered by the existing unittest/others entry in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml; no manual-QA list entry is reported. The author reports that the focused pytest command and applicable pre-commit checks passed. Coverage verdict: sufficient.

Walkthrough
The performance harness now classifies mean, median, and P99 TPOT as lower-is-better metrics. Documentation describes TPOT baseline and gating behavior. New CPU-only tests check reported differences, regression gating, and baseline calculations.

Summary
TPOT metric direction tests/integration/defs/perf/test_perf_sanity.py, tests/integration/defs/perf/README_test_perf_sanity.md
Moves mean, median, and P99 TPOT from MAXIMIZE_METRICS to MINIMIZE_METRICS. Documents that lower TPOT is better, that its baseline uses P5 of smoothed history, and that TPOT does not affect the default regression verdict.
TPOT reports may show a slowdown as an improvement, and an explicitly enabled TPOT gate may miss it. Invalidate old baselines before merging unless that risk is accepted.

Explanation
The description covers the problem (TPOT treated as maximized, so latency increases read as improvements), the fix (moving three statistics to MINIMIZE_METRICS and updating docs), and a concrete example. It also lists test coverage with a test command and states the scope limits. It does not use the template's ticket-prefix title format, and the PR Checklist items are not marked, but the required content is present.

Recalculate TPOT baselines stored under the old classification.
If history contains a stored TPOT baseline calculated while TPOT was in MAXIMIZE_METRICS, prepare_regressive_test_cases uses that P95 value before it calculates the new P5 baseline. Post-merge runs can copy the stored value forward. A TPOT slowdown can therefore appear as an improvement, and an explicitly enabled TPOT gate can miss it. Invalidate legacy TPOT baseline fields and recalculate them from history without discarding valid historical TPOT measurements. Add a test with a legacy stored baseline. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Approving — the comments below are optional touch-ups, not blockers.
The reclassification is correct, and keeping it out of REGRESSION_METRICS means the default gate can't change. One thing to check before merge: stored TPOT baselines. prepare_regressive_test_cases uses a stored d_baseline_* over a recomputed one (perf_regression_utils.py:397). add_baseline_fields_to_post_merge_data then copies that stored value onto every new post-merge record (perf_regression_utils.py:538-546). If any d_baseline_{mean,median,p99}_tpot were written under the old maximize semantics, they are high-percentile latencies. The corrected diff would then be measured against an inflated baseline, which hides slowdowns, and nothing would ever replace it. Please either confirm that no stored TPOT baselines exist in the perf index, or add the three TPOT metrics to a history-floor map dated at this change, the same way GEN_ONLY_METRIC_HISTORY_FLOORS_MS handles step time ([test_perf_sanity.py:377](https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM/pull/21197/files#diff-0eef94d081fcbd27131bdaeea34591fe3f8b29205aaaeecaf24db1c239c45348R377)-388). The floor also keeps P5 from being computed over history recorded under the old classification.
Minor: the title uses [None] for a bug fix. If an NVBug exists for the inverted TPOT reporting, put it in the title.
