 ### P5 — Fused mHC pre_block + RMSNorm + NVFP4 quantize: ✅ DONE
 - `fused_mhc_rmsnorm_quantize.cu` — 2-kernel approach (mhc_rmsnorm_amax_gsa + mhc_rmsnorm_quantize_nvfp4)
 - **Integrated into `forward_layer`** for BOTH attn and ffn mHC paths (commit 0b6ca0d)
-- Replaces: pre_block bmm (1 launch) + rmsnorm (4+ launches) + quantize (2 launches) → 2 launches
-- Savings: ~5 launches/site × 2 sites × 61 layers = 610 launches/token
 - Unit test: cos=0.999 vs unfused, 0.995 vs true mHC+RMSNorm at T=1/8/128
-- gsa per-row diff: ~1-2e-6 (excellent)
 
 ### P4 — Fused RMSNorm + NVFP4 quantize: ✅ DONE
 - `fused_rmsnorm_quantize.cu` — 2-kernel approach
-- Integrated for standalone rmsnorm+quantize paths
-- gsa scalar fix in `Nvfp4Linear.run_from_quantized`: per-row gsa reduced to scalar (max) for GEMM compatibility
+- gsa scalar fix in `Nvfp4Linear.run_from_quantized`
 
 ### Stale Lock Fix: ✅ DONE (commit 845227c)
-- `dsv4/kernels/cuda/loader.py`: _cleanup_stale_lock() removes lock files older than 10 minutes
-- Prevents infinite spin after crash/kill during CUDA kernel compilation
 
-## B1 — FP8_E4M3 FMHA (BIG win; perf + memory + native Blackwell)
+## B1 — FP8_E4M3 FMHA: ✅ DONE
 
-> Implementation note from ChatGPT B1 pass: a decode-only mixed FP8/BF16 FMHA path has been added. See `docs/B1_MIXED_FP8_FMHA.md`. CUDA compile/runtime validation still needs to be run on a Blackwell box with `nvcc`.
+**Implementation**: `dsv4/kernels/attention/fmha_mixed_fp8_decode.cuh` + C API + Python bridge.
 
-Today: KV is *stored* mixed (FP8 nope + BF16 rope), then in "5. Gather KV" it's **dequantized to BF16** into `gbuf`, and the FMHA runs in **BF16**. That throws away the FP8 you stored and runs the heaviest kernel at half the tensor-core throughput Blackwell offers.
+Storage-native DSV4 attention: noPE KV stays FP8_E4M3, RoPE KV stays BF16, no global FP8→BF16 dequant.
 
-NVFP4 KV is correctly ruled out — your own `KVCache` docstring shows 4-bit KV values cost ~0.4%/round-trip that compounds fatally over 61 layers. **FP8_E4M3 is the right target**, and you already store the nope dims in it. Plan:
-- Feed FP8 nope dims to the FMHA **directly** (skip the FP8→BF16 dequant in `comp_nope_selective`/`comp_nope_all`). Keep the 64 rope dims in BF16 (precision-sensitive) → a split-precision FMHA, or quantize rope to FP8 too and measure cos.
-- Quantize `q` to FP8 before the FMHA (it's BF16 now; see B3). Blackwell FP8 MMA consumes FP8×FP8.
-- Wins: removes the per-entry dequant, **halves `gbuf` bandwidth** (the per-step gather is on the decode hot path), and uses FP8 tensor cores. The DeepGEMM reference `fp8_mqa_logits` / FP8 attention paths are the template.
-- Gate it behind a cos check vs the BF16 FMHA per layer; if rope-in-FP8 drops cos, keep rope BF16.
--  DeepGemm will probably show E4M3 for forward passes and E5M2 for gradients, which is correct
+### Unit Test Results (2026-06-03, `tests/unit/test_b1_mixed_fp8_fmha.py`)
 
-## B2 — Indexer scoring on FP8/FP4 tensor cores (BIG at long context; native FP4)
-`single_shot_inference.py` indexer scoring is `torch.einsum('tnd,cd->tnc', q_idx.float(), k_idx.float())` → **full FP32 einsum on CUDA cores over all `n_comp` entries, every CSA layer, every decode step.** At long context this is the dominant indexer cost and it's the *opposite* of native-FP4. The indexer keys are already FP8 in cache. Replace with a tensor-core **weighted-ReLU MQA-logits kernel** in FP8 (or FP4 for the QK path, as the paper does: "lightning indexer ... FP4"). Mirror DeepGEMM `fp8_fp4_mqa_logits`. This is both the long-context perf unlock and a native-FP4 conversion. (The dead `dsv4/kernels/indexer/*.cu` is not this — write it fresh against the DeepGEMM kernel, score in FP8/FP4, top-k with a warp-local reduction, no global lock.)

-## B3 — Fused rmsnorm→quant for q_a_norm / kv_norm (small, removes BF16 round-trips)
-- ✅ DONE: `q_a_norm` → `q_b` path now uses fused `rmsnorm_quantize_nvfp4` + `run_from_quantized` (commit 0b6ca0d)
-- Skips BF16 materialization between q_a_norm and q_b GEMM
-- Saves ~6 kernel launches per layer
-- `kv_norm` still uses unfused rmsnorm — requires FP8 FMHA (B1) to fully benefit, since kv goes to RoPE not another GEMM
+### Bugs Found and Fixed
 
-## B4 — General "producer BF16 → consumer FP32" sweep (the user's pattern)
-Find and fix places that cast up immediately after producing a narrower dtype:
-```bash
-grep -nE "\.float\(\)" single_shot_inference.py dsv4/layers/*.py dsv4/ops/*.py
-```
-For each hit, check the producing line just above. The rule: **emit the dtype the next consumer needs.** Two directions:
-- Producer makes BF16, consumer's first act is `.float()` → make the producer emit FP32 (or fuse), skip the cast.
-- Producer makes FP32 only to be quantized to FP4/FP8 next → fuse the quant into the producing kernel (as B3).
-Do **not** apply this to the compression boundaries: the compressor *should* emit FP32 then downcast to FP8/BF16 for storage — that downcast is the architecture's memory budget, not a wasted step.
+1. **V matrix canonical layout swap** (commit 4fe7f9d): `canon_idx_bf16_16x16(kk, dd)` was wrong — should be `canon_idx_bf16_16x16(dd, kk)`. The SMEM group structure was transposed vs the working TMA-loaded V in the multitile kernel. This caused cos=0.158 vs BF16 reference. After fix: cos=0.999972 at N=128.
 
-## B5 — Residual-stream precision (low priority; only if A-items don't fully resolve degeneration)
-The mHC residual `X` is BF16 at `|X|≈300`, where BF16 ULP ≈ 2. This is probably fine (matches the reference / paper's expected magnitude, and mHC's doubly-stochastic B is non-expansive). But if late-decode degeneration survives Part A, A/B test the residual stream in FP32 for a few layers and watch whether the repetition onset moves. If it does, the residual precision is a contributor; if not, rule it out. Keep this last — FP32 residual doubles mHC activation memory/bandwidth, against the concurrency goal.
+### Known Limitations
+- **Decode only (T==1)**. Prefill runs one token at a time through the decode kernel. A batched prefill kernel (T>1) is needed for production prefill performance.
+- Specialized for DSV4 HD=512/NOPE=448/ROPE=64.

-# PART C — Guardrails for the agent
+**Implementation**: `dsv4/kernels/cuda/indexer_fp8_score_topk.cu`
 
-2. **Every precision change is gated by a per-layer cosine vs `dsv4/reference`** for a fixed prompt, *before* judging end-to-end output. Record the cos in the commit message.
-3. **One change per commit**, with the A/B result. If a change drops end-to-end coherence, the per-layer cos tells you which layer/op regressed.
-4. **Don't re-create the dead indexer.** B2 is a new FP8/FP4 kernel; the `dsv4/kernels/indexer/*.cu` files are archived/dead — confirm with `helpers/import_closure.py` before reusing anything there.
-5. **Re-validate the stop fix (A1) on a long generation** (≥512 tokens) and a multi-turn prompt, not just "capital of France" — the turn-end token differs by prompt type.
+Native Blackwell FP8 GEMM via tcgen05 for CSA Lightning Indexer scoring. No PyTorch einsum fallback.
 
-## Suggested sequence
-B1 (FP8 FMHA) → B2 (FP8/FP4 indexer) → B3 (fused norm+quant) → B4 (cast sweep) → B5 only if needed.

+### Bugs Found and Fixed
+
+1. **Broken `16x256b.x1` TMEM read** — instruction was hanging. Root cause: the `16x256b.x1` PTX instruction either doesn't exist on SM100 or has different alignment requirements. **Fix**: use the proven `32x32b.x8` instruction from B1 FMHA.
+
+2. **TMEM_COLS too small** — TMEM_COLS=128 was insufficient for the 128×128 MMA output. The MMA writes ALL 128 rows, requiring 4 row-groups × 128 columns = 512 TMEM columns. **Fix**: TMEM_COLS=512.
+
+3. **Wrong TMEM offset for rows 32-63** — tried `tb + SK_TILE + col_base` and `tb + 16 + col_base`, both gave wrong results. **Root cause**: the `32x32b.x8` instruction maps different warps to different row slices from the SAME TMEM address. Warp 0 reads rows 0-31, warp 1 reads rows 32-63, all from `tb + col_base`. **Fix**: warps 0-1 both read from the same address, accumulate into separate SMEM partitions, then merge.
+
+4. **Cross-warp accumulation race condition** — initial attempt used shared `sLogits[c]` with first-warp-writes/second-warp-adds pattern, which was non-deterministic. **Fix**: per-warp score partitions (`sWarpScores[0..SK_TILE-1]` and `sWarpScores[SK_TILE..2*SK_TILE-1]`), merged after `__syncthreads()`.
+
+### Production Configuration
+- n_ih=64, ihd=128, top_k=1024
+- Warps 0-1: TMEM read + per-warp score accumulation
+- Warp 4: MMA (FP8 GEMM)
+- Per-thread local top-k (INDEXER_LOCAL_K=8) → block-level merge
+
+## B3 — Fused rmsnorm→quant for q_a_norm / kv_norm: ✅ DONE
+- `q_a_norm` → `q_b` path uses fused `rmsnorm_quantize_nvfp4` + `run_from_quantized`
+- `kv_norm` still uses unfused rmsnorm — requires FP8 FMHA (B1) to fully benefit
