Could you build this?

Partial The script extension itself is concise, but understanding and aligning KV cache prefix boundaries across vLLM, SGLang, and llama.cpp chunked prefill implementations requires deep inference engine knowledge.

What it would actually take: This utility requires exact alignment of conversation history and system messages to the page/block size boundaries (e.g., 16 or 32 tokens in vLLM PagedAttention) and issuing warm-up requests without generating tokens. Implementing this requires specialized familiarity with LLM serving engine internals, RadixAttention trees, KV cache eviction policies, and exact Anthropic API simulation behavior.
