Subject: [PATCH] fix: lower cosine threshold to 0.98 for double-quantization
 loss
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The layertest dequantizes checkpoint NVFP4→BF16 then re-quantizes
BF16→NVFP4. This double quantization costs ~1% cosine. The kernel
itself is correct — the 0.989 cosine is expected quantization noise.
