+
+    Set up contrived scenario which tests for a possible failure mode of
+    scheduling with multi-step+"single-step chunked prefill"+APC
+
+    "single-step chunked prefill" here refers to the current vLLM multi-step+
+    chunked-prefill implementation, which requires that a prefill may only
+    be scheduled in the same step as decodes if the prefill prompt fits in a
+    single chunk (note that "complete" multi-step+chunked-prefill would allow
+    a prefill to span multiple chunks & multiple steps but that is not yet
+    the case.)
+
+    "APC" is short for "automatic prefix caching".
+
+    This test creates a scenario where the scheduler must decide whether/how
+    to schedule a prefill with a prompt that exceeds the available token budget.
+    The correct behavior for multi-step+"single-step chunked prefill"+APC is to
+    put off scheduling the prefill until a future step.
+
+    Validate that:
+    * Multi-step kernels do not raise an exception due to incorrect scheduler
+      behavior
+    * Generated tokens match between
+      multi-step+"single-step chunked prefill"+APC and
+      single-step scheduling.
+    * (If logprobs are enabled) check logprobs are close enough
