BREAKING: Remove Dockerfile.rocm, compose.rocm.yaml, and ROCm image build/push from the release pipeline. Remove AMD quick-start and ROCm references from README and DEVELOPER docs. Update docker-deployment and developer-docs specs to reflect CPU + NVIDIA only. The ROCm variant added significant complexity (4.2GB torch wheel, >20GB container) with limited usage. Users on AMD GPUs should stay on engine v3.2.x or switch to CPU mode. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Why
|
|
|
|
AMD ROCm support adds significant complexity and maintenance burden to the project — the ROCm torch wheel alone is 4.2GB, the Dockerfile requires a multi-stage build with ROCm-specific runtime libraries, and the release pipeline must build/push additional images. The final container is >20Gb. ROCm support is less tested and less commonly used than CPU or NVIDIA. Removing it keeps the project focused and manageable.

|
## What Changes
|
|
|
|
- **BREAKING**: Remove AMD ROCm Docker image (`Dockerfile.rocm`) and compose file (`compose.rocm.yaml`)
|
|
- **BREAKING**: Remove ROCm image build/push/release-notes from the engine release script
|
|
- Remove pre-built ROCm torch wheel from `assets/`
|
|
- Remove all AMD/ROCm references from user-facing docs (README, DEVELOPER)
|
|
- Update docker-deployment spec to reflect CPU + NVIDIA only
|
|
|
|
## Capabilities
|
|
|
|
### New Capabilities
|
|
|
|
_(none)_
|
|
|
|
### Modified Capabilities
|
|
|
|
- `docker-deployment`: Remove AMD ROCm Docker image requirement and all ROCm-specific scenarios. Deployment now covers CPU and NVIDIA only.
|
|
|
|
## Impact
|
|
|
|
- **Docker images**: ROCm image variant no longer published
|
|
- **Users**: Anyone running KB on AMD GPUs will need to stay on the last version with ROCm support (3.2.x) or switch to CPU mode
|
|
- **Release pipeline**: `release-engine.sh` simplified — only CPU and NVIDIA images
|
|
- **Repository size**: ~4.2GB reduction by removing the torch wheel from `assets/`
|
|
- **Docs**: README and DEVELOPER updated to remove AMD quick-start and build instructions
