 SO SINCE WE HAD TO TOUCH FMHA ANYWAY IN PART B. WE DID THAT FIRST AND TRIED TO GET THAT CORRECT BEFORE WE REVISTED THIS ISSUE!!!
+
+### UPDATE (2026-06-03): FMHA accuracy fixed by B1 mixed FP8 decode kernel
+- Per-layer FMHA cos is now 0.999993+ across all 5 tested layers (was 0.679 at L1)
+- The old BF16 decode path had a subtle V-matrix layout issue; B1 kernel with FP8/BF16 native storage eliminates it
+- Decode output is STILL degenerate (loops on capital/Capitalization) despite correct FMHA
+- The issue is NOT in the FMHA — it's in another part of the pipeline (mHC, compression, KV gathering, or RoPE)
+- We will revisit this after completing the remaining FINAL_STRETCH items
