…the async-proxy broadcast

The NVLink token-comm router builds each rank's per-expert histogram with generic-proxy SMEM atomics and then broadcasts it to every peer with cp.async.bulk (the sizes_by_rank row) and cp.reduce.async.bulk (the totals). Those bulk copies read SMEM through the async proxy, and a CTA barrier only orders the generic proxy, so without fence.proxy.async.shared::cta the copy can read counts whose atomics are not yet visible to it. A peer then receives a partial row, builds push tables that disagree with the destination's pool layout, and the source's routes land in the wrong pool rows: their FC2 rows never reach the source's combine plane and its tokens come back wrong.

Seen with Nemotron-3 Ultra BF16 (512 experts, top-22) at EP32 on GB200 in the max_tokens_per_rank=256 build (single router data CTA): 13-68% of tokens wrong per launch for T >= 64, GSM8K 35-73 instead of 94.8; EP16 and the 512/1024 builds happened not to expose the race. token_comm_dedup.py already has this fence; add the same fence (plus the barrier) before both broadcasts in token_comm.py: the single-data-CTA histogram and the multi-CTA helper's totals.

Verified at EP32 (8 x GB200 NVL72 nodes): a backend-vs-fp32-reference check of the BF16 leaf passes in every bucket (256-bucket launches at T=32..256, uniform and skewed routing, repeated launches, create_moe chunked path), with every rank's router tables consistent after each launch.

…the async-proxy broadcast

The NVLink token-comm router builds each rank's per-expert histogram with
generic-proxy SMEM atomics and then broadcasts it to every peer with
cp.async.bulk (the sizes_by_rank row) and cp.reduce.async.bulk (the totals).
Those bulk copies read SMEM through the async proxy, and a CTA barrier only
orders the generic proxy, so without fence.proxy.async.shared::cta the copy
can read counts whose atomics are not yet visible to it. A peer then receives
a partial row, builds push tables that disagree with the destination's pool
layout, and the source's routes land in the wrong pool rows: their FC2 rows
never reach the source's combine plane and its tokens come back wrong.

Seen with Nemotron-3 Ultra BF16 (512 experts, top-22) at EP32 on GB200 in the
max_tokens_per_rank=256 build (single router data CTA): 13-68% of tokens wrong
per launch for T >= 64, GSM8K 35-73 instead of 94.8; EP16 and the 512/1024
builds happened not to expose the race. token_comm_dedup.py already has this
fence; add the same fence (plus the barrier) before both broadcasts in
token_comm.py: the single-data-CTA histogram and the multi-CTA helper's totals.

the BF16 leaf passes in every bucket (256-bucket launches at T=32..256, uniform
and skewed routing, repeated launches, create_moe chunked path), with every
rank's router tables consistent after each launch.
