When does this happen?

IF User sets VLLM_ATTENTION_BACKEND=3 on vLLM V1 engine, causing a warning and fallback to V0 engine, and possibly FA3 detection failure.

How others solved it

THEN Remove the VLLM_ATTENTION_BACKEND=3 environment variable. The V1 engine does not support this variable and will fall back to auto-detection. Use VLLM_FLASH_ATTN_VERSION only if directed by documentation for specific hardware.
