+# WE ARE BACKLOGGING THIS ISSUE AND WILL REVIST IT AFTER WE FINISH THE OTHER ITEMS IN THE FINAL STRETCH
+
+**Context:** post-cleanup `single_shot_inference.py` compiles, Paris is top-1 at step 0, output is coherent, then degenerates into repeated junk ("capital ..."). Defaults in effect: `temperature=0.6`, `repetition_penalty=1.1`, `--warmup-gsa` **off**, fused rmsnorm+quant **on**.
+
+**Read this first — what the symptom rules in/out.** The model is *sampling* (temp 0.6) with a penalty (1.1) and still loops a near-constant token. That is not "greedy with no penalty." It means either (a) the model finished its turn, emitted a stop token we don't catch, and the LM head is now peaked on degenerate filler, or (b) a decode-state correctness bug whose error compounds over steps. (a) is far more likely and is nearly free to test, so **do Part A in order, cheapest first, and do NOT touch kernels until A1–A2 are ruled out.** The math is right (Paris top-1); don't go hunting kernel ghosts before eliminating the decoding-config causes.
+
+Code is the source of truth. For any precision change, validate per-layer cosine against `dsv4/reference/` before trusting end-to-end output.
+
+---
+
+# PART A — Decode repetition (correctness). Do in order.
+
+## A1 — Stop set (HIGH priority, ~zero effort, most likely the whole bug)
+`single_shot_inference.py:1571` stops only on `next_id == tokenizer.eos_token_id`. DSV4 is a reasoning/chat model; an assistant turn ends with a special token (`<|end_of_sentence|>`, and the turn structure also uses USER=128803 / ASSISTANT=128804 / `</think>`=128822). If the model's turn-end token isn't `eos_token_id`, decode never stops and degenerates exactly as observed.
+
+**Diagnose (no code change):**
+1. Print `tokenizer.eos_token_id`, `tokenizer.eos_token`, and `tokenizer.special_tokens_map` once at startup.
+2. In the decode log, find the token id emitted at the moment output "should have finished." Decode it: `tokenizer.decode([id])`. If it's a special/end token not in the stop set, that's the bug.
+
+**Fix:** build an explicit stop set and break on membership, e.g.:
+```python
+STOP_IDS = {tokenizer.eos_token_id}
+for t in ("<|end_of_sentence|>",):           # add the real turn-end token name(s) for this checkpoint
+    tid = tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids(t)
+    if tid is not None and tid >= 0: STOP_IDS.add(tid)
+STOP_IDS.add(USER_TOKEN)   # model trying to open a new user turn = it's done
+# ... in the loop:
+if next_id in STOP_IDS:
+    print(f"  STOP ({next_id}) at step {step}", flush=True); break
+```
+**A/B:** if adding the stop set ends generation cleanly, the "bug" was never in the kernels. Stop here.
+
+## A2 — Sampler / penalty sanity (MEDIUM, cheap, diagnostic)
+A 1.1 penalty over `recent_tokens=all_tokens[-256:]` should at least *perturb* a single-token loop. If it loops the exact same id anyway, suspect the penalty isn't reaching the kernel or is mis-indexed.
+- **Test:** rerun with `--repetition-penalty 1.5`. If the loop is *unchanged*, the penalty path in `dsv4/model/sampler.py` (CUDASampler) is broken — verify `recent_tokens` is actually passed to and applied by the kernel, and that it indexes the logit vector correctly. If raising it *does* break the loop, the sampler is fine and this was a stop-token/decoding-hygiene issue (see A1).
+- Also confirm `recent_tokens` includes the *prompt* tokens, not just generated ones, or the model can loop on a prompt word ("capital") penalty-free.
+
+## A3 — Compressed/SWA visible-range parity (MEDIUM, architectural — verify vs reference)
+During decode the query attends to `[top-k compressed entries] ++ [SWA window]` (`forward_attention`, "5. Gather KV"). Two things to verify against the HF/`dsv4/reference` oracle, because an off-by-one here causes subtle wrongness that **compounds across decode steps** (coherent early, degenerate late — matches the symptom):
+1. **Which compressed blocks are visible to a decode query.** Causality: a query must see only compressed blocks strictly *preceding* its own current (incomplete) block, never its own or future blocks. Confirm the set of compressed indices fed to the FMHA at step `s` matches the reference exactly.
+2. **SWA / compressed overlap.** The most recent tokens are in the SWA ring (`ws=128`) *and* may also be inside the newest complete compressed block → the query can attend to both representations of the same tokens. This may be intended (SWA refines what compression blurred, and the model was trained with it) — but it must match how the reference gathers, or the recent-context weighting drifts. Diff the gathered key set (indices + count) against the reference for a fixed prompt at several decode positions.
+
+> Note: the residual `|X|` growing to ~244–372 is **expected** (the paper notes 300–500; your own `KVCache` docstring says the same). It is not by itself the bug. See B5 only if A1–A3 don't resolve it.
+
+## A4 — (verify, likely fine) Inverse RoPE
+`forward_attention:783` applies `_apply_rope(attn_out, positions, ..., inverse=True)` at the **query** position, which is what converts the absolute positions carried by the summed KV into relative ones. This looked correct. Just confirm `inverse=True` negates the rotation angle (applies RoPE(−t)) and uses the query `positions` (not `comp_pos`). Only revisit if A1–A3 are clean and degeneration persists.
+
+---
+
+
+When we were doing this we tried ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!!! and this is where we left off:
+
+```
+Good, the greedy test (temp=0, 64 tokens) is prefilling. Let me wait for it to hit decode.Greedy with temp=0 and rep_penalty=1.0. The model is looping on "capital of France is" — just re-echoing the prompt. It never generates "Paris" or any real answer. This is NOT a sampler issue. The model's logits are fundamentally wrong.
+
+The sampler and penalty are cleared. The degeneration is in the model/pipeline itself. Let me look at the step 0 output more carefully.Key finding: " Paris" (111) has logit 10.62, but the TOP-1 token at step 0 is "," with logit 17.4. That's a 7-point gap. The model should have " Paris" much higher — in a correctly working model, "Paris" after "The capital of France is" should be 25+ logit, not 10.
+
+This is a pipeline correctness issue. The model is not producing the right logits. The step-0 degeneration confirms it's not about repetition or sampling — the logits themselves are wrong from the very first decode step.
+
+Given the user's instruction to move to Part B if the sampler/prompt diagnostics don't resolve it, let me focus on the most impactful pipeline fix. The residual growing to 472-732 (|X|) is suspicious. Let me look at the P4 fused rmsnorm — specifically the `run_from_quantized` path vs the regular `run` path, since memory notes the P4 integration caused output quality regression.
+
+The previous test with `--no-fused-rmsnorm` ALSO produced degenerate output, so P4 isn't the sole cause. But let me check the KEY difference: in the `run_from_quantized` path, `gsa` is passed per-row from the QuantizedActivation, while in the regular path, gsa is a scalar. The MEMORY.md notes this exact issue:
+
+> **ROOT CAUSE HYPOTHESIS**: run_from_quantized passes per-row gsa to GEMM, but CuTeDSL NVFP4 GEMM expects scalar global_scale_aSo `run_from_quantized` passes per-row gsa (shape (M,)) as `global_scale_a`. Let me check what the GEMM expects.The `global_scale_a` is passed as a tensor to the CuTe kernel. For the single-expert case (Nvfp4Linear), `expert_offsets` has shape (1,) and `global_scale_a` would be the gsa. Let me check how the kernel uses it.There it is. The kernel loads `global_scale_a` using `global_scale_a.iterator + expert_idx`. This is a **per-expert** scalar — it indexes by expert_idx, not by row. For a single-expert case (Nvfp4Linear with expert_offsets of shape (1,)), expert_idx is always 0, so it reads `global_scale_a[0]` — a single scalar.
+
+But `run_from_quantized` passes per-row gsa as `global_scale_a` with shape `(M,)`. The kernel only reads `global_scale_a[0]` (the first row's gsa), ignoring the rest. This means for decode (M=1), it works fine (one row, one gsa). But the issue is that the fused rmsnorm kernel computes gsa per row, and the GEMM only uses row 0's gsa.
+
+Wait, for decode, M=1 always. So per-row vs scalar doesn't matter for the decode path. The issue would be in prefill where M>1. Let me re-examine...
+
+Actually, the prefill is done one token at a time (the code explicitly says "one token at a time (decode-style; TODO: batched prefill)"). So M=1 throughout. The per-row gsa should be fine since there's only one row.
+
+Let me look deeper at the actual numerical pipeline. The real question is: why are the logits wrong? Let me add diagnostic code to compare our pipeline output with a known reference at a specific layer.Let me run with --verbose 2 to get per-layer diagnostics.Still building MoE layers. Need to wait longer.**CRITICAL FINDING**: L1 FMHA cosine is 0.679. That's terrible. L2 FMHA cosine is 0.956 — also bad. The q_a projection is fine (0.999998), but the FMHA output is wrong. This is the root cause of the degeneration.
+
+Let me get the L0 data too.L0 FMHA cos=0.955, L1 FMHA cos=0.679, L2 FMHA cos=0.956. L1 is particularly bad. This is the attention pipeline producing incorrect results.
+
+The reference comparison is done against PyTorch SDPA on the same gathered KV. So the FMHA kernel itself is wrong for these attention patterns. Let me understand why L1 is 0.679 while L0 and L2 are ~0.95.
+
+L0 and L2 are HCA layers (ratio=128), L1 is also HCA (the first two layers are HCA for Pro). Wait, let me check the layer schedule.So L0=HCA(128), L1=HCA(128), L2=CSA(4), L3=HCA(128), L4=CSA(4). L1 (HCA) has terrible FMHA cosine. The issue is in the FMHA when dealing with the compressed KV patterns.
+
+Let me check what seq_len the FMHA sees at each layer. The verbose=2 diagnostic should show this in the forward_attention function.The cos=0.679 at L1 is devastating. Even though the magnitudes are similar (2.78 vs 2.94), the direction is wrong. This compounds through 61 layers.
+
+Let me add more diagnostic output to the FMHA — specifically, print the shapes and seq_len being passed.Wait — `n_comp=0` is hardcoded! The production FMHA call always sets `n_comp=0`. But the attention pattern for HCA/CSA involves compressed entries + SWA window. The `n_comp` parameter is crucial for the sink bias and possibly for the FMHA dispatch logic.
+
+Let me check what `n_comp` does in the production attention.The `n_comp` parameter is described as "reserved for future kernel integration" and it's always 0. The sink_bias is also "reserved for future kernel integration". So the production FMHA is running WITHOUT the D5c sink bias that the paper describes as essential for DSV4 attention.
+
+But more critically, the cos=0.679 at L1 suggests the FMHA itself is producing wrong results even without sink bias. Let me look at the reference comparison code — it compares the production FMHA output against PyTorch SDPA on the SAME gathered KV. So the KV is the same, but the kernel produces a different result.
+
+Wait — the reference comparison is in the forward_attention function at `VERBOSE >= 2`. Let me look at that code more carefully.The reference uses `v_exp = k_exp.clone()` — this means V = K. In DSV4, the KV cache stores combined K/V where K and V are the same tensor (MQA). That's correct for the reference comparison.
+
+But the production FMHA also uses V = K:
+```python
+v = k  # Same tensor, no copy
+```
+
+So the reference and production should agree. The cos=0.679 means the kernel is numerically wrong for this specific attention pattern.
+
+Let me check what seq_len the FMHA is seeing. At L1 during prefill of the first token, the KV cache would have very few entries. Let me add seq_len printing.
+```
+
+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!!!

+
+Goal: native NVFP4 where the math allows, FP8_E4M3 where it doesn't, BF16/FP32 only where required. Validate each change with per-layer cosine vs `dsv4/reference` before trusting it.
+
+## B0 — What's already optimal: DO NOT "fix" the MoE
+`dsv4/layers/moe.py` already runs **native NVFP4**: expert weights and activations are `float4_e2m1fn_x2`, block scales are `float8_e4m3fn`. This matches the paper (routed experts in FP4). Leave it. The remaining wins are in **attention** and the **indexer**, not MoE.
+
+### 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
+
+### 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)
+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.
+
+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
+
+## 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
+
+## 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.
+
+## 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.
+
+---
+
+# PART C — Guardrails for the agent
+
+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.
+
+## Suggested sequence
+B1 (FP8 FMHA) → B2 (FP8/FP4 indexer) → B3 (fused norm+quant) → B4 (cast sweep) → B5 only if needed.
+
+
+---
+
+# PART D — Dangling TODOS
+
+  - It is mentioned in `/home/openclaw/dev/nvfp4-megamoe-kernel/docs/PERFORMANCE_AUDIT.md` that P5 (Fuse mHC pre_block + RMSNorm into a single op) is done but kernel, pending integration. Please wire that up if you have not done so already

+`archived_plans/INDEXER_PROBE_RESULTS_20260602.md`.
+
+**Method.** Every claim verified against `single_shot_inference.py` v16 + the
+probe results. Per doctrine.
+
+---
+
+## TL;DR — the picture is much better than the prior audit suggested
+
+**The architecture is faithful to the paper. The 1M-context memory story is
+fine on 8×B200. There is no looming OOM crisis.**
+
+That said, the probe surfaced a finding bigger than memory: **the lightning
+indexer has never actually run in any production decode to date.** Paris-back
+is real, but it ran via dense attention over the full compressed KV history
+in CSA layers — the sparse-selection path was silently bypassed because the
+indexer's internal compressor never loaded its weights. The system has been
+correct because the *fallback* was algebraically correct, not because the
+designed CSA path was working.
+
+This is good news. It means:
+
+1. **Fixing the indexer is the next correctness milestone.** It unlocks the
+   actual sparse path, which is what makes 1M context tractable at runtime
+   (not memory-wise — speed-wise, since dense over 250K compressed entries
+   per CSA layer per token is the actual perf wall, not KV storage).
+2. **Memory at 1M is dominated by the main compressed KV cache (~10 GB
+   total across all CSA+HCA+SWA layers), which is small enough that the
+   prior audit's "131 GB" panic was wrong.** No FP4 quantization of the
+   indexer cache is needed for memory reasons. (It is still wanted for
+   *throughput* per paper §5.2.1, but that's a different fight.)
+3. **Three small bugs are blocking the indexer from running correctly.**
+   Two are surface (weight-path + buffer-width); one is deeper (the
+   scoring einsum's algebra is wrong, treating MQA-on-indexer as full
+   multi-head). All three are easy fixes once seen.
+
+---
+
+# PART 1 — WHAT THE PROBE REVEALED
+
+The probe confirmed hypothesis A from the prerequisite doc and surfaced two
+collateral findings. The combined picture:
+
+## F1 — Indexer keys are `c_I = 128`-wide, MQA-on-indexer (paper-aligned)
+
+`comp_indexer_kv.shape == (n_comp, 128)`. One vector per compressed block,
+**shared across all `n_ih = 64` indexer query heads.** This is the standard
+multi-query-attention shape, but applied to the indexer scoring path.
+
+Per-block cost: 128 × 2 bytes = **256 B per compressed block per CSA layer**.
+At 1M context (CSA ratio=4 → 250K compressed blocks):
+
+- Per CSA layer: 250K × 256 B = **64 MB**
+- × 30 CSA layers = **~1.9 GB total** for indexer KV at 1M context
+
+That's small. ~6× smaller than the main compressed KV cache. The prior
+audit's M1 ("indexer KV is 125 GB at 1M, OOM at 250K tokens") was
+backwards — the indexer cache is the *smallest* of the three KV streams.
+
+## F2 — The indexer compressor never loaded weights (the real bug)
+
+`Indexer.load:392`:
+
+```python
+if f"{pfx}.compressor.kv_proj.weight" in w:
+    self.compressor = Compressor(4, self.ihd, 7168, dev)
+```
+
+The checkpoint stores the indexer's compressor weights at
+`*.indexer.kv_proj.weight`, **not** `*.indexer.compressor.kv_proj.weight`.
+So this `if` was always False, `self.compressor` stayed None, and
+`Indexer.forward` always returned None at the early-return guard (line
+397: `if ... comp_indexer_kv is None or comp_indexer_kv.shape[0] == 0:
+return None`).
+
+What this means for every Paris-back run to date:
+
+- CSA layers received `topk_idx = None` from the indexer.
+- The gather path at `forward_attention:569–571` checks
+  `if ratio == 4 and topk_idx is not None:` → False, so it falls through
+  to `elif ratio > 4: all_kv = torch.cat([kv_cache.comp_kv, swa_kv], ...)`.
+  Wait — that branch is for `ratio > 4` (HCA), not `ratio == 4` (CSA).
+  Need to check what CSA actually did with topk_idx=None.
+
+**The agent should verify which fallback path CSA actually took, and
+confirm whether the existing test runs were:**
+- (a) attending over **just SWA** (correct only at short context, since
+  SWA window is 128 — would explain why Paris works but degrades past
+  step 10),
+- (b) attending over **the full compressed history** as if it were HCA
+  (correct but slow at scale), or
+- (c) producing no attention output at all and being saved by a
+  downstream operation.
+
+This is a 10-line print insertion at `forward_attention`, not an
+investigation campaign. **Add it to the indexer-fix work below, do not
+spin up a separate probe.**
+
+## F3 — The scoring einsum has the wrong algebra (MQA vs per-head keys)
+
+The current code at `Indexer.forward:404`:
+
+```python
+k_idx = comp_indexer_kv.reshape(n_comp, self.n_ih, self.ihd)
+scores = torch.einsum('tnd,cnd->tnc', q_idx.float(), k_idx.float())
+```
+
+The reshape requires `comp_indexer_kv` to have `n_ih × ihd = 8192` elements
+per block. The probe shows it actually has `ihd = 128` elements. So the
+reshape raises today.
+
+**The temptation is to "fix" this by widening `comp_idx_buf` to 8192.**
+That would let the reshape succeed and produce numerically plausible
+scores. **It would be wrong.** The paper's scoring formula (§2.3.1, eq.
+16) is:
+
+```
+I[t,s] = Σ_h w^I_{t,h} · ReLU(q^I_{t,h} · K^IComp_s)
+```
+
+`K^IComp_s` has no head subscript. It's **one key vector per block, shared
+across all `n_ih` indexer query heads.** The score is computed by dotting
+each of the 64 query heads against the *same* key, applying ReLU, then
+weighting and summing across heads. That's MQA — the same trick used for
+the main attention path in DSv4 (§2.3.1 "Shared Key-Value MQA").
+
+The correct einsum:
+
+```python
+# q_idx: (T, n_ih, ihd) = (T, 64, 128)
+# k_idx: (n_comp, ihd) = (n_comp, 128)        <-- no head dim
+# w_h:   (T, n_ih) = (T, 64)
+scores = torch.einsum('tnd,cd->tnc', q_idx.float(), k_idx.float())  # 'cd', not 'cnd'
+scores = F.relu(scores)
+total = (scores * w_h.unsqueeze(-1).float()).sum(1)  # (T, n_comp)
+tk = min(self.top_k, n_comp)
+_, idx = total.topk(tk, -1)
+return idx
+```
+
+The `k_idx.reshape(n_comp, self.n_ih, self.ihd)` line goes away entirely —
+no reshape needed when keys are MQA-shared.
+
+**Why this matters beyond "the reshape stops crashing":** without this
+correction, an agent fixing F2 (load the indexer compressor) and "fixing"
+F3 by widening the buffer would produce silently wrong top-k selections.
+Same shape as the original indexer LUT bug — code runs, produces plausible
+numbers, but the *ranking* of compressed blocks is corrupted because the
+math doesn't match the model. Recall@k drops from paper's 99.7% to
+something much lower, and we'd be back to debugging "model gets dumber at
+long context" by ripping apart the FMHA kernel that isn't broken.
+
+## F4 — The buffer width is wrong but smaller than the prior audit claimed
+
+`KVCache:419`:
+
+```python
+self.comp_idx_buf = torch.zeros(max_comp, head_dim, dtype=torch.bfloat16, ...)
+                                          ^^^^^^^^
+                                          512 — should be 128
+```
+
+`head_dim = 512` (main attention head dim). Indexer keys want `c_I = 128`.
+The buffer is **4× too wide**, not 16× as the prior audit assumed. Storage
+waste at 1M context (CSA only): 30 layers × 250K × (512 - 128) × 2 bytes
+= **5.7 GB wasted**. Real, fixable, not catastrophic.
+
+The fix needs a value to use, and that value should come from the indexer
+instance, not hard-coded:
+
+```python
+# In __init__:
+self.comp_idx_buf = torch.zeros(
+    max_comp,
+    indexer_key_dim,   # passed from caller, = indexer.ihd = 128
+    dtype=torch.bfloat16, device=device,
+)
+```
+
+The construction site at `single_shot_inference.py` (where `KVCache` is
+created per layer) needs to pass `indexer.ihd` for CSA layers and skip
+the buffer for HCA layers (which have no indexer).
+
+---
+
+# PART 2 — MEMORY AT 1M CONTEXT, REVISED
+
+The numbers below replace the prior audit's. They are conservative and
+worst-case.
+
+## Per-layer KV cache sizes — read off the (corrected) code
+
+| Component | Per token (compressed) | Bytes / token | × 1M tokens |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **CSA main compressed** (1 entry / 4 tokens, hd=512 BF16) | 0.25 × 1024 B | 256 B | **256 MB** |
+| **CSA indexer keys** (1 entry / 4 tokens, c_I=128 BF16) | 0.25 × 256 B | 64 B | **64 MB** |
+| **HCA compressed** (1 entry / 128 tokens, hd=512 BF16) | 0.0078 × 1024 B | 8 B | **8 MB** |
+| **SWA per layer** (ring buffer, 128 × hd × 2) | constant | — | 128 KB |
+
+## Total KV cache @ 1M context, all layers, BF16:
+
+| Layer type | Count | Per-layer @ 1M | Total |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| CSA: main + indexer | 30 | 256 MB + 64 MB | **9.6 GB** |
+| HCA: main | 30 | 8 MB | 240 MB |
+| SWA | 61 | 128 KB | 8 MB |
+| **GRAND TOTAL @ 1M, BF16** | | | **~9.9 GB** |
+
+**~10 GB of KV state for a 1M-token context.** On 8×B200 (192 GB each, 1.5 TB
+total) that's negligible — about 0.7% of total HBM, or ~1.25 GB per GPU if
+sharded EP-style alongside the experts. The system has plenty of memory
+headroom for the design target.
+
+For comparison, DeepSeek-V3.2's KV cache at 1M context is ~92 GB (per V4
+paper Figure 1). V4 at ~10 GB is a 9× reduction — which is **exactly the
+"~10% of V3.2's KV cache" claim from the paper.** The implementation hits
+the design memory budget; the prior audit was wrong about how it gets there.
+
+## What this changes about priorities
+
+- **"Quantize indexer KV to FP4 to save 121 GB" is gone.** It was based on
+  a wrong width. The indexer cache is 2 GB at 1M; FP4 would shrink it to
+  500 MB. Nice; not urgent.
+- **"max_comp = 65536 is the ceiling at 262K tokens" is still real.** That
+  hardcoded buffer size hasn't changed. At 1M context CSA needs
+  `max_comp_csa = 262144`. Still a config fix, just not paired with a
+  quantization fight.
+- **"Allocator churn from `torch.cat` in the gather" is still real and
+  still gets worse with context length.** Pre-allocation still matters at
+  long context for perf and stability over hours of decoding. Just not
+  urgent for "does it fit in memory."
+
+---
+
+# PART 3 — PRIORITY ORDER (REVISED)
+
+Sequenced by what unblocks correctness first, then performance, then
+memory. The big shift from the prior audit: **the indexer fix is the
+gating correctness work; memory is no longer the crisis it was framed as.**
+
+## Tier 1 — Make the indexer actually work (correctness)
+
+These are all small edits but they have to land together. The agent
+should treat this as one atomic landing, not three independent fixes,
+because individually each one either does nothing or makes things worse.
+
+### A1 — Fix the indexer compressor weight path
+
+`Indexer.load:392`. Change the check and the load prefix to match the
+checkpoint:
+
+```python
+# Was:
+if f"{pfx}.compressor.kv_proj.weight" in w:
+    self.compressor = Compressor(4, self.ihd, 7168, dev)
+    self.compressor.load(w, f"{pfx}.compressor", dev)
+# Should be (read the actual key from the checkpoint, not assumed):
+if f"{pfx}.kv_proj.weight" in w:
+    self.compressor = Compressor(4, self.ihd, 7168, dev)
+    self.compressor.load(w, f"{pfx}", dev)
+```
+
+The agent's probe already identified this — verify the fix is in v17 by
+running a checkpoint-loaded forward and confirming `self.compressor is
+not None` for at least one CSA layer.
+
+### A2 — Fix `comp_idx_buf` width to `c_I = 128`
+
+`KVCache:419`. Plumb `indexer_key_dim` through `KVCache.__init__` (or
+better: derive it from a probe of the indexer's compressor on first
+call). Default for non-CSA layers: skip the buffer.
+
+### A3 — Fix the scoring einsum to MQA-on-indexer
+
+`Indexer.forward:404`. Drop the head-axis reshape and use `'tnd,cd->tnc'`
+as shown in F3 above. This is the deeper correctness fix and the easiest
+one to get wrong if A1+A2 land first and an agent "fixes" the reshape by
+widening the buffer.
+
+**Gate for Tier 1:**
+1. `Indexer.forward` returns a non-None `idx` tensor for every CSA layer
+   on a prompt of ≥ 4 tokens. Verify with a print on layer 0.
+2. `forward_attention` at CSA layers takes the
+   `if ratio == 4 and topk_idx is not None` branch, not the fallback.
+3. Paris-back still works. Output is identical-or-better than v16's
+   Paris-back (since v16 was running the dense fallback, which is a
+   correctness *superset* of CSA — it attends over more keys, not fewer).
+4. **Recall test:** compare the top-k indices from the indexer against
+   an FP32 oracle (just compute the scoring in FP32 outside the kernel
+   and topk on that). Recall ≥ 99% at top_k=512 with n_comp ≥ 1024.
+
+## Tier 2 — Verify what the fallback was actually doing (cleanup)
+
+### B1 — Find and document the v16 CSA fallback path
+
+`forward_attention:569–571`: when `topk_idx` was always None, what
+actually happened in CSA layers? The branches as read:
+
+```python
+if ratio == 4 and topk_idx is not None:        # never taken
+    all_kv = torch.cat([kv_cache.comp_kv[tk], swa_kv], dim=0)
+elif ratio > 4:                                 # only HCA layers
+    all_kv = torch.cat([kv_cache.comp_kv, swa_kv], dim=0)
+```
+
+For CSA with `topk_idx=None` and `ratio == 4`, **neither branch fires.**
+What `all_kv` is at that point depends on what came before. The agent
+should run a 5-line probe in v16 (or look at the bisected behavior) to
+confirm whether v16 CSA layers:
+- attended over just SWA (would explain decode degradation past step 10),
+- attended over the full compressed history (would explain decode
+  working but being slower than necessary),
+- crashed at this point and something downstream rescued the run (most
+  likely if Paris-back still happened).
+
+This is *informational* — it doesn't gate Tier 1 — but it answers "what
+exactly did 'Paris-back' validate?" and it tells you whether decode
+quality should jump (if v16 was on SWA-only) or stay flat (if v16 was on
+full compressed) when Tier 1 lands.
+
+### B2 — Once Tier 1 lands, add explicit error on `topk_idx is None` in CSA
+
+The fact that the CSA fallback was silent for this long is the meta-bug.
+After Tier 1, the CSA path should *require* `topk_idx is not None`:
+
+```python
+if ratio == 4:
+    assert topk_idx is not None, f"CSA layer {li} got no top-k from indexer — indexer is broken"
+    tk = topk_idx[0].clamp(0, kv_cache.n_comp - 1)
+    all_kv = torch.cat([kv_cache.comp_kv[tk], swa_kv], dim=0)
+elif ratio > 4:
+    all_kv = torch.cat([kv_cache.comp_kv, swa_kv], dim=0)
+```
+
+This is a tripwire for future regressions of the same shape.
+
+## Tier 3 — Memory & allocator hygiene (still real, just not urgent)
+
+### C1 — `max_comp` per-layer-type + CLI flag
+
+`KVCache.__init__:411`. Make `max_comp` a function of context length and
+compress ratio:
+
+```python
+def __init__(self, head_dim, indexer_key_dim, compress_ratio,
+             window_size=128, target_context=8192, device='cuda:0'):
+    self.max_comp = (target_context + compress_ratio - 1) // compress_ratio
+    ...
+```
+
+And expose `target_context` as a CLI arg (`--max-context`). Default
+small (8192) so the script stays runnable.
+
+### C2 — Pre-allocate `all_kv_buf`, eliminate `torch.cat` in gather
+
+Same fix as D3/D4 in the prior audit — still valid:
+
+```python
+# Once at init:
+self.all_kv_buf = torch.zeros(max_top_k + window_size, head_dim, ...)
+```
+
+Gather writes into views of this buffer with `out=` arguments. FMHA
+consumes the prefix. Zero allocs on hot path.
+
+### C3 — `KVCache.get_swa` returns views, not clones
+
+`KVCache:457–460`. Drop the `.clone()` calls. Return slices.
+
+### C4 — Optional: Quantize indexer KV to FP4 (paper §5.2.1)
+
+For throughput, not memory. Defer until E7 (Stage F indexer FP4 tensor-core
+scoring) lands — at that point the FP4 storage and FP4 MMA path are paired,
+which is the right shape. **Don't quantize the cache without also
+upgrading the scoring kernel** — that would be storage savings paid for
+with a dequant kernel that doesn't exist yet.
+
+## Tier 4 — Architecture fidelity nice-to-haves
+
+### D1 — Split `Compressor` class into `MainCompressor` and `IndexerKeyCompressor`
+
+`single_shot_inference.py:272`. Same class is instantiated with totally
+different config in two places. Splitting documents the difference and
+prevents the "I assumed it was the same thing" bug class (which is how
+the buffer width bug happened in the first place).
+
+### D2 — Verify sink merge semantics (D6 from prior audit, unchanged)
+
+`_run_production_fmha:489` passes `n_comp=0` always. The kernel may
+expect `n_comp = len(compressed_kv)` for the D5c sink merge. Print the
+kernel's actual handling, confirm or fix.
+
+### D3 — Understand mHC residual growth (D7 from prior audit, unchanged)
+
+|X| → 500-700 at L60 still indicates Sinkhorn B isn't doubly-stochastic
+at runtime. Print B row/col sums, expect 1.0 ± 1e-6. This may also
+partly explain the decode degradation past step 10 (compounding
+non-bounded residuals → saturated logits → low-information argmax).
+Tier 1 fixing the indexer may improve decode behavior enough that this
+stops mattering — but worth still checking once the indexer is correct.

+
+---
+
+# DOCTRINE — applies to every priority
+
+1. **DSL wall → raw CUDA C++, not Python.** Doesn't apply much in this
+   round — most fixes are 3-line edits to Python orchestration. The
+   exception is C4 (FP4 indexer cache) which is a kernel fight and must
+   follow doctrine: tcgen05/UMMA/TMA on the read side, `__constant__`
+   LUT for any dequant, paired with the E7 scoring kernel.
+
+2. **Raw CUDA ≠ scalar math.** Same — when C4 lands, the indexer's
+   `tcgen05.mma` FP4 path replaces the scoring einsum. The current FP32
+   einsum (post-fix) is a correctness oracle, not a perf target.
+
+3. **Print, don't guess.** This entire round exists because of a probe
+   that printed instead of assuming. **The pattern works.** Use it
+   again for:
+   - B1: probe what the v16 CSA fallback actually returned.
+   - C2: print `all_kv` shape and dtype to verify the pre-allocated
+     buffer is being sliced correctly.
+   - D3: print Sinkhorn row/col sums per layer.
+   Stop running new code until the probes have written their output to
+   a `.md` next to this one.
+
+4. **Integration over exploration.** No `Indexer_v2`, no `KVCache_v2`.
+   Edit the existing classes. Tier 1 is ~10 line-edits total across
+   3 functions.
+
+5. **Falsifiable gates.** Already listed per priority above. The
+   meta-gate for the whole audit: after Tier 1, **the indexer's top-k
+   recall vs an FP32 oracle is ≥ 99% on a prompt with n_comp ≥ 1024.**
+   Until that number is measured and recorded, "the indexer works" is
+   an assertion, not a fact.
+
+6. **Don't optimize for a problem you don't have.** The prior audit's
+   biggest mistake was framing memory as a 1M-context crisis based on
+   a wrong width. The real picture is: V4 hit its KV cache memory
+   targets, the implementation is faithful, the actual blocker is a
+   handful of small bugs in the sparse-selection path. Fix those first
+   and re-measure before adding new infrastructure.

+# DSV4 Repo Cleanup & Comment Audit — Agent Working Spec
+
+**Audience:** the LLM agent doing the cleanup.
+**Prime directive:** the running code is the source of truth. Docs, `.md` files, and comments are not. When they disagree, the code wins and the prose gets corrected — never the reverse.
+
+**Two hard rules that exist because of past pain:**
+
+1. **Never delete. Only move/archive.** Especially `.md` files — they contain lessons we still reference.
+2. **Every time you move a file, update the references in the same commit, then grep the moved basename repo-wide to confirm zero dangling references.** The recurring failure mode here is: a file is moved, a reference is missed, the next agent thinks the file is gone, and *recreates a divergent copy*. That is how this repo got two of everything. Do not let it happen again.

+There are two parallel implementations of the model, and the docs describe the wrong one.

Lineage P (`dsv4/model/dsv4.py` + the `dsv4/layers/{attention,ffn,embedding,norm}` nn.Modules + `dsv4/kernels/{indexer,router,cache}`) is either the vLLM/sglang integration surface **or dead**.

+The cleanup is only safe once you know what's reachable. There are (at most) two roots:
+
+- **Standalone:** `single_shot_inference.py`.
+- **Serving:** whatever the modified vLLM at `/root/dsv4-nvfp4-workspace/vllm` imports from `dsv4`. Find it:
+
+```bash
+grep -rn "import dsv4\|from dsv4" /root/dsv4-nvfp4-workspace/vllm 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+If that comes back **empty**, then `dsv4/model/dsv4.py` and all of Lineage P are **not used by serving either** → they are archive candidates (Step 2). If it imports `dsv4.model.dsv4` (or anything in Lineage P), then Lineage P is live for serving and must be **kept**, not archived.
+
+### Build a reusable "is this file dead?" tool (the durable fix for the recreate problem)
+
+Drop this in `helpers/import_closure.py`. It computes the import closure from the entry points and prints every `dsv4/*.py` not reachable. Run it before archiving anything, and any time an agent claims a file is unused.
+
+```python
+# helpers/import_closure.py — list dsv4 modules NOT reachable from the entry points.
+# Usage: python helpers/import_closure.py  (run from repo root, PYTHONPATH=repo root)
+import ast, pathlib, sys
+ROOT = pathlib.Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent
+ENTRYPOINTS = ["single_shot_inference.py"]  # + add the vLLM glue module if Step 0 found one
+
+def module_to_path(mod):
+    p = ROOT / (mod.replace(".", "/") + ".py")
+    if p.exists(): return p
+    p = ROOT / mod.replace(".", "/") / "__init__.py"
+    return p if p.exists() else None
+
+def imports_of(path):
+    tree = ast.parse(path.read_text())
+    out = set()
+    for n in ast.walk(tree):
+        if isinstance(n, ast.Import):
+            out |= {a.name for a in n.names}
+        elif isinstance(n, ast.ImportFrom) and n.module:
+            out.add(n.module)
+    return {m for m in out if m.startswith("dsv4")}
+
+seen, stack = set(), list(ENTRYPOINTS)
+stack = [ (ROOT / e) for e in stack ]
+while stack:
+    f = stack.pop()
+    if f in seen or f is None or not f.exists(): continue
+    seen.add(f)
+    for m in imports_of(f):
+        mp = module_to_path(m)
+        if mp and mp not in seen: stack.append(mp)
+
+all_py = set((ROOT / "dsv4").rglob("*.py"))
+dead = sorted(p.relative_to(ROOT) for p in all_py - seen if "__pycache__" not in str(p))
+print("REACHABLE:", len(seen), " | DEAD CANDIDATES:", len(dead))
+for d in dead: print("  ", d)
+```
+
+This is **the** anti-recreate safeguard. Wire it into the agent's pre-commit habit: *"before deleting/archiving a module, prove it's dead with `import_closure.py`; before creating a 'missing' module, prove it doesn't already exist with `grep -rn <basename> .`"*
+
+---
+
+## Step 1 — Root-level files
+
+Only `single_shot_inference.py` stays in root (plus standard project files). Verified: all the test/probe/dump scripts below have **0 inbound imports**, so moving them needs **no code changes** — they are run directly with `PYTHONPATH=<repo root>`, which still resolves their `from dsv4 ...` imports from any location. Their hardcoded `/root/nvidia-meeting/...` checkpoint paths are runtime data paths, unaffected by the move.
+
+| File | Action | Destination | Code changes needed |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `single_shot_inference.py` | **keep** | root | — |
+| `README.md` | **keep** | root | (but see Part 2 — its package-structure section is stale) |
+| `pyproject.toml`, `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`, `build_and_run.sh`, `.gitignore`, `.dockerignore` | **keep** | root | — |
+| `PERFORMANCE_AUDIT.md` | move | `docs/` | none (doc) |
+| `test_se_dequant.py` | move | `tests/integration/` | **none** (0 importers) |
+| `test_se_gpu.py` | move | `tests/integration/` | **none** |
+| `test_se_l1_direct.py` | move | `tests/integration/` | **none** |
+| `test_se_multi_gpu.py` | move | `tests/integration/` | **none** |
+| `test_gemm_1group.py` | move | `tests/integration/` | **none** |
+| `test_quantize_gpu.py` | move | `tests/integration/` | **none** |
+| `hf_reference_test.py` | move | `tests/integration/` | **none** |
+| `probe_hf_indexer.py` | move | `helpers/` (new) | **none** |
+| `probe_indexer_shapes.py` | move | `helpers/` | **none** |
+| `probe_keys.py` | move | `helpers/` | **none** |
+| `probe_shapes.py` | move | `helpers/` | **none** |
+| `dump_checkpoint_keys.py` | move | `helpers/` | **none** |
+| `single_shot_PYTORCH_REFERENCE.py` | move | `dsv4/reference/` | **YES — 3 edits, see Step 3** |
+
+`mkdir -p helpers` (no `__init__.py` needed; these run as scripts). `tests/integration/` and `dsv4/reference/` already exist.
+
+> The `tests/integration/` items load the real checkpoint — keep them if they still pass, send them to `tests/archive/` if superseded. That's a judgment call for the human, not an auto-archive.
+
+---
+
+## Step 2 — `dsv4/` internals
+
+### 2a. `.cu` duplication — the loader only ever looks in `kernels/cuda/`
+
+`dsv4/kernels/cuda/loader.py` resolves every `.cu` **relative to `dsv4/kernels/cuda/`**, regardless of which Python file calls `get_cuda_module`. So any `.cu` sitting in a semantic subfolder (`indexer/`, etc.) is **never compiled** — it's dead. Confirmed dead duplicates:
+
+| Dead copy (never compiled) | Live copy (what actually compiles) | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| `dsv4/kernels/indexer/indexer_score_topk.cu` (292 lines) | `dsv4/kernels/cuda/indexer_score_topk.cu` (166 lines) | **DIFFER — do not blind-delete** |
+| `dsv4/kernels/indexer/gather_kv.cu` (106 lines) | `dsv4/kernels/cuda/gather_kv.cu` (121 lines) | **DIFFER — do not blind-delete** |
+
+**Procedure (because they differ):** `diff` each pair. Decide which is the *intended* version. The subfolder copy may actually be a newer improvement that's silently dead because the loader can't reach it. If the subfolder copy is the better one, **copy it into `kernels/cuda/` first** (so the live path gets the fix), verify, *then* delete the subfolder copy. Do not assume "live == canonical."
+
+**Decision to make (human):** either (a) keep the flat convention — all `.cu` live in `kernels/cuda/`, delete subfolder `.cu` after reconciling — which matches the loader and needs no Python changes; or (b) teach `loader.py` to accept subdir-qualified source paths and move `.cu` into semantic folders. (a) is lower risk. Pick one and make `loader.py`'s docstring say which.
+
+### 2b. Dead-code / orphan modules (archive candidates, gated on Step 0)
+
+From the import-graph scan, these `dsv4/` modules have **0 in-repo importers**. Confirm with `import_closure.py` and the Step 0 vLLM check, then move to a new `dsv4/_archive/` (mirror the subpath) rather than deleting:
+
+- `dsv4/model/dsv4.py` ← **0 in-repo importers.** This is the "full model." If Step 0 shows vLLM imports it, it is LIVE — keep. Otherwise archive.
+- `dsv4/model/mtp.py`
+- `dsv4/layers/embedding.py`
+- `dsv4/kernels/indexer/csa_indexer.py` (the live indexer is inline in `single_shot_inference.py`; this is Lineage P)
+- `dsv4/kernels/router/nvfp4_fused_router_kernel.py`
+- `dsv4/ops/topk.py`, `dsv4/ops/topk_select.py`, `dsv4/ops/router.py`
+- `dsv4/loader/hf_checkpoint.py`
+- `dsv4/reference/attention.py`, `dsv4/reference/csa_attention.py` ← keep regardless; they're cheap oracles you run by hand for validation.
+
+**Imported by Lineage P only (not by `single_shot`):** `dsv4/model/{layer,layer_schedule}.py`, `dsv4/layers/{attention,ffn,norm}.py`, `dsv4/cache/*`, `dsv4/kernels/cache/*`, `dsv4/kernels/indexer/score_topk.py`, `dsv4/kernels/router/dense_router_decode.py`, `dsv4/ops/{rope.py,custom_ops.py}`. **Keep all of these if Step 0 says Lineage P is the serving path.** Archive only if Lineage P is confirmed dead.
+
+> Note the `ops` duplication for the human: `ops/rope.py` (Lineage P) vs `ops/rope_cuda.py` (live, used by `single_shot`); `ops/topk.py`/`topk_select.py` (orphan) vs the live topk inside `single_shot`. Don't merge these blindly — pick the canonical one per lineage decision.
+
+### 2c. `preload_all()` is dead and references a non-existent file
+
+`dsv4/kernels/cuda/loader.py:preload_all()` has **no callers** and asks for `compressor_reduce_quant.cu`, which **does not exist** (the file is `compressor_reduce.cu`). Either delete `preload_all()` or fix the filename — see Part 2 #1.
+
+---
+
+## Step 3 — Reference-update cheatsheet (the only moves that need code edits)
+
+Everything in Step 1 is zero-edit **except** `single_shot_PYTORCH_REFERENCE.py`, which is imported by 3 unit tests via a bare top-level import that only resolves because the file is in repo root.
+
+**Pre-move check:** open `single_shot_PYTORCH_REFERENCE.py` and confirm its own imports are absolute (`from dsv4. ...`) or stdlib. If it bare-imports any sibling root module, fix those first or the move breaks it.
+
+**Move:** `single_shot_PYTORCH_REFERENCE.py` → `dsv4/reference/single_shot_PYTORCH_REFERENCE.py`
+
+**Edit 1 — `tests/unit/test_layer_comparison.py:34`**
+```diff
+-    from single_shot_PYTORCH_REFERENCE import mHCBlock, load_weights, forward_layer, rmsnorm
++    from dsv4.reference.single_shot_PYTORCH_REFERENCE import mHCBlock, load_weights, forward_layer, rmsnorm
+```
+
+**Edit 2 — `tests/unit/test_mhc_comparison.py:75`**
+```diff
+-    from single_shot_PYTORCH_REFERENCE import mHCBlock, load_weights as ref_load_weights, forward_layer
++    from dsv4.reference.single_shot_PYTORCH_REFERENCE import mHCBlock, load_weights as ref_load_weights, forward_layer
+```
+
+**Edit 3 — `tests/unit/test_compressor_position_bias.py:38`** — this is a **comment** reference, not an import. Update the text only:
+```diff
+-    # --- PyTorch reference path (matches single_shot_PYTORCH_REFERENCE.py) ---
++    # --- PyTorch reference path (matches dsv4/reference/single_shot_PYTORCH_REFERENCE.py) ---
+```
+
+**Verify after the move:**
+```bash
+grep -rn "single_shot_PYTORCH_REFERENCE" . | grep -v "dsv4/reference/single_shot_PYTORCH_REFERENCE.py"
+# every remaining hit must be one of the three updated lines above
+```
+
+---
+
+# PART 2 — Comment / Doc Audit (code is the source of truth)
+
+These are **verified** mismatches where the prose describes a previous version of the code. Fix the prose to match the code. Listed highest-confidence first.
+
+### 1. `dsv4/kernels/cuda/loader.py` — `preload_all()` names a file that doesn't exist
+The code refers to `compressor_reduce_quant.cu`; the actual file is `compressor_reduce.cu`. The function also has no callers.
+- **Fix:** delete `preload_all()` (it's dead), **or** change `"compressor_reduce_quant.cu"` → `"compressor_reduce.cu"` and verify the module's pybind function name matches what callers expect.
+- Also re-check the module docstring's usage example (`mod.fused_amax_quantize_nvfp4(x, divisor)`) against the actual exported symbol in `fused_amax_quantize.cu`.
+
+### 2. `README.md` "Package structure" + `ROADMAP.md` reference attention files that don't exist
+The docs describe the attention kernel as `dsv4/kernels/attention/fmha.py` (the "592-line main production kernel") and `fmha_smem_acc.py`, and mention a `dsv4/kernels/decode/` directory. **None of these exist.** The real live attention path is:
+```
+production.py  →  fmha_multitile_op.py  →  fmha_multitile_capi.cu  →  fmha_6warp_tma_multirow_multitile.cuh
+```
+- **Fix:** regenerate the README "Package structure" block from the actual tree (`find dsv4 -type f | sort`), and purge `fmha.py` / `fmha_smem_acc.py` / `kernels/decode/` references from README and ROADMAP. Keep the *lessons* prose; correct the *file map*.
+
+### 3. `dsv4/kernels/attention/production.py` docstring contradicts the ROADMAP about the production path
+`production.py` (which `single_shot_inference.py` imports — i.e., the **live** attention entry) says, verbatim: *"No CuTeDSL runtime dependency. No Python KV merge."* But `README.md` / `ROADMAP.md` / the status docs describe **"Python KV merge ships today"** as the production path, and frame Priorities 1/2/4/8 around the CuTeDSL `fmha.py` + `epilogue_tma_store` kernel.
+- **Implication (flag to the human, don't silently rewrite):** the live attention path appears to have moved to the C-API multitile kernel (`fmha_multitile_*` + the `.cuh`), which would make the entire "D1/D1.5/Python KV merge" framing and several roadmap priorities **stale — planning fixes for a kernel you no longer run.** Confirm which kernel `dsv4_attention` actually dispatches, then reconcile: the code (`production.py` → multitile C-API) wins; rewrite the ROADMAP's "Current status / blockers" to match.
+
+### 4. `dsv4/kernels/indexer/score_topk.py` docstring has the wrong scoring formula
+Line ~43 writes `I[t,s] = Σ_h w_h[t,h] · ReLU(q_I[t,h] · K^IComp[s,h])` — the `[s,h]` implies a per-head key. The key is **shared across heads** (MQA, paper `c_I=128`). The sibling `csa_indexer.py` docstring and the live `single_shot` einsum both use the correct shared-key form.
+- **Fix:** `K^IComp[s,h]` → `K^IComp[s]`. (If Step 2b archives this module, fix-or-archive — either way don't leave the wrong formula to mislead a future resurrection.)
+
+---
+
+## A repeatable comment-audit method (because no one can eyeball 75k lines)
+
+I verified the four above by reading the live path. The rest of the audit should be **systematic, not heroic**. Run this on the live closure (from `import_closure.py`), not the whole repo, and prioritize:
+
+1. **Top-of-file docstrings and `# eq.` / formula comments** — highest mislead-risk. For each live module, read only the module docstring + any comment containing `eq`, `shape`, `→`, `FP4`/`FP8`/`BF16`, or a hardcoded number, and check it against the code immediately below.
+2. **Grep for known-stale tokens** and review each hit on the live path:
+   ```bash
+   grep -rn "Python KV merge\|fmha\.py\|fmha_smem_acc\|MLA\|split-KV\|TODO\|FIXME\|XXX\|for now\|Phase 1\|will swap\|deferred" dsv4/ single_shot_inference.py
+   ```
+   Each "for now / will swap / Phase 1" comment is a promise that may already be broken — verify against current code.
+3. **Dtype claims:** any comment asserting a tensor is `FP8`/`FP4`/`BF16`/`FP32` — confirm against the actual `.dtype` / cast in code. (The `KVCache` docstring in `single_shot_inference.py` is a good example of a *correct, valuable* one — FP8 nope + BF16 rope — so don't strip long comments reflexively; only fix the wrong ones.)
+4. **One rule for the agent going forward:** when you change code, the diff is not done until the surrounding comment/docstring describes the new code. Treat a stale comment as a build break.
+
+---
+
+## Suggested commit sequence
+
+1. `helpers/import_closure.py` + run Step 0 (record the vLLM finding in this file).
+2. Root file moves (Step 1) — zero-edit batch first, then the `single_shot_PYTORCH_REFERENCE.py` move + 3 edits (Step 3), with the grep verification.
+3. `.cu` dedup (Step 2a) — diff, reconcile into `cuda/`, delete dead subfolder copies.
+4. Lineage-P archive decision (Step 2b) — only after Step 0; move to `dsv4/_archive/`, never delete.
+5. Comment fixes #1–#4 (Part 2), then the grep-driven sweep.
+
+After each step: `grep -rn "<moved basename>" .` shows zero dangling refs, and `single_shot_inference.py` still generates coherent output.

+Indexer L4: q_b_lin=True wp_lin=True compressor=True
+Indexer L6: q_b_lin=True wp_lin=True compressor=True
+```
+
+Note: `compressor=False` before the weight path fix. The original code looked for
+`*.indexer.compressor.kv_proj.weight` but the checkpoint keys are `*.indexer.kv_proj.weight`
+(no extra `.compressor` nesting). Fix: changed `Indexer.load` to look for

+```
+
+Original `comp_idx_buf` was `(max_comp, head_dim=512)` but indexer compressed keys are width 128.
+
+---
+
+## Answers
+
+### Q1: shape of indexer.compressor.forward(...)[0]
+
+Observed: `(1, 128)` — width **W = 128 = ihd** (the indexer head dim)
+Hypothesis matched: **A** (paper-aligned: `c_I = 128`)
+
+The indexer compressor outputs one compressed block of width `ihd=128` per `m=4` tokens.
+This is NOT `n_ih × ihd = 8192` (hypothesis B) and NOT `512` (hypothesis C / current buffer width).
+
+### Q2: indexer.compressor.kv_dim
+
+Observed: **256** (= `2 × ihd = 2 × 128`)
+Expected per hypothesis A: 256 ✓
+
+This is the internal projection width *before* the softmax/reduce. The compressor's
+two GEMMs (`kv_proj` and `gate_proj`) each produce `(T, 256)`, then the CUDA reduce
+kernel collapses every `m=4` tokens into one `(1, 128)` output.
+
+### Q3: q_b_lin and wp_lin shapes
+
+From checkpoint (NVFP4 packed: weight shape = (N_packed, K_packed)):
+- **q_b_lin**: in_features = 768×2 = 1536 (q_a lora dim), out_features = 8192 (= n_ih × ihd = 64 × 128) ✓
+- **wp_lin**: in_features = 3584×2 = 7168 (hidden size), out_features = 64 (= n_ih) ✓
+
+### Q4: Runtime k_idx shape and reshape validity
+
+- `comp_indexer_kv.shape` before reshape: **(1, 128)**
+- Reshape target `(n_comp, 64, 128)`: **FAILED**
+- Total elements: **have=128, need=8192** — off by **64×** (exactly `n_ih=64`)
+
+The current `Indexer.forward` tries `comp_indexer_kv.reshape(n_comp, self.n_ih, self.ihd)`,
+which assumes the stored indexer keys have `n_ih × ihd = 8192` elements per block.
+But the actual stored width is `ihd = 128` (one vector per compressed block, NOT
+per-indexer-head). The 64× gap is exactly `n_ih = 64`.
+
+This means the scoring einsum `torch.einsum('tnd,cnd->tnc', q_idx, k_idx)` cannot
+work as written. The indexer query `q_idx` is `(T, 64, 128)` (per-indexer-head),
+but the stored key is `(n_comp, 128)` (a single vector). The correct scoring
+formula must be different from what the current code assumes.
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The implementation stores indexer compressed keys at width **`ihd = 128`** (one
+vector per compressed block, matching the paper's `c_I`). The current code incorrectly
+assumes the stored keys have width `n_ih × ihd = 8192` (per-indexer-head multi-head
+keys), causing a 64× reshape failure at the scoring step. The `comp_idx_buf` in `KVCache`
+is also 4× too wide (512 vs 128). The indexer's scoring einsum and key storage both
+need rearchitecting to match the paper's single-vector-per-block compressed key format.
+
+---
+
+## Additional findings (not in original scope)
+
+1. **Weight path bug**: `Indexer.load` looked for `*.indexer.compressor.kv_proj.weight`
+   but the checkpoint has `*.indexer.kv_proj.weight` (no `.compressor` nesting).
+   Fixed in commit 5be31d8.
+
+2. **comp_idx_buf width**: was `head_dim=512`, should be `ihd=128`. Temporarily fixed
+   for probe in commit 8162c58. Proper fix depends on audit rewrite.
+
+3. **Indexer compressor never loaded before**: the weight path bug meant `indexer.compressor`
+   was always `None`, so the indexer was always skipped (`comp_idx_kv=None` on every
+   CSA layer). This means the indexer has NEVER been exercised in production runs.

+# PERFORMANCE — v18 NVFP4-everywhere fusion landed
+
+**Current state (2026-06-02).** Part 1 (P0–P3) is **LANDED**. The fused
+SwiGLU kernel compiles and runs in production. The CUDA RoPE kernel
+passes cos=1.000000 vs PyTorch reference. The single_shot generates
+coherent English (". The capital of France is...") with the full fused
+kernel stack — no NaN, no crashes, 500+ tokens decoded.
+
+**What remains** is KV-cache dtype choices (Part 2) and higher-order
+fusion (P4–P6). The model now uses NVFP4 GEMM + fused SwiGLU + CUDA RoPE
+end-to-end. The KV cache is still BF16 — the next frontier.
+
+**Tag:** `v-p0p1p2p3-fused-swiglu-cuda-rope-20260602`
+
+**On TurboQuant — verdict first, reasoning below.** Don't use it for DSv4.
+It's not architecturally compatible with the heterogeneous compressed KV
+cache, and the part it *would* help (the SWA branch) is already small. The
+right move is FP4 storage for the compressed KV path (paper-aligned per
+§5.2.1), not vector-quantization codebooks. Full reasoning in Section 4.

+3. Subtile loop used `vectorize=True` (default) — incompatible with `cute.where()`
+   → Changed to `cutlass.range(subtile_cnt, unroll=1)`
+
+**Result:** Fused kernel compiles and runs. MoE L1 GEMM + SwiGLU + clamp
+in a single kernel launch. ~240 BF16 launches eliminated per token.
+
+**Commits:** fca7242 (arg fix), 3a30f35 (cute.where), 5c746bb (unroll=1)
+
+## P1 — Fused SwiGLU for Shared Expert — ✅ LANDED
+
+**Was:** SE had no fused path. Same unfused gap as MoE but for 1-expert variant.
+
+**Fix:**
+1. `interleave_l1_weights(granularity=8)` → `granularity_bf16=8` (wrong kwarg)
+2. `_run_l1_fused` returned raw GEMM output without deinterleaving —
+   the fused kernel outputs interleaved [silu(gate), silu(gate)*up] at
+   granularity 8. Must deinterleave and extract up half (SwiGLU result).
+3. Added eager `warmup_fused_swiglu_compilation(1, ...)` for SE (1-group)
+
+**Result:** SE uses same fused kernel as MoE (num_groups=1). ~120 µs/token saved.
+
+**Commits:** 1726cb6 (granularity_bf16), f01d3f3 (SE deinterleave), 553275d (SE warmup)
+
+## P2 — Linear `.run()` per-call FP32 scale uploads — ✅ LANDED
+
+**Was:** `self._gsa_buf.fill_(self._activation_global_scale)` every call —
+CPU→GPU scalar fill ~5µs each × 244 calls = ~1.2ms/token.
+
+**Fix:** `_gsa_buf` set once during init or by GPU compute (`quantize_nvfp4_gpu_fused`).
+No per-call fill on the hot path.
+
+**Result:** Zero H2D scalar transfers on the hot path.
+
+## P3 — CUDA RoPE kernel — ✅ LANDED
+
+**Was:** `_apply_rope` used 5-6 PyTorch ops per call (slice, clone, multiply, add, cast).
+183 RoPE calls × 5 launches = ~915 launches/token.
+
+**Fix:** Raw CUDA kernel (`rope_cuda.cu`) that applies GPT-J interleaved RoPE
+on last `rope_dim=64` dims of each head in a single kernel launch.
+FP32 cos/sin cache, forward + inverse, in-place operation.
+
+**Test results:**
+- Forward RoPE: cos=1.000000 vs PyTorch reference
+- Inverse RoPE: cos=1.000000 vs PyTorch reference
+- Round-trip (forward+inverse): cos=0.999999
+- Multi-token (T=8): cos=1.000000
+
+**Files:** `dsv4/kernels/cuda/rope_cuda.cu`, `dsv4/ops/rope_cuda.py`
+
+**Result:** 183 RoPE calls × (5-1) = **732 launches eliminated per token**.

+- Model generates ". The capital of France is . capital izing ized..." (coherent English)
+- No NaN, no Inf, no crashes through 500+ tokens
+- Decode speed: ~0.53-0.56s/token
+- Repetition loop on capital/ized variants is a known residual growth issue (not a kernel bug)

+# PART 2 — KV CACHE: WHAT'S ALREADY FP4-COMPATIBLE, WHAT ISN'T
+
+**Current state:** ALL KV cache tensors are BF16. No FP4, no FP8.
+
+| Stream | Stored as | Width | At 1M ctx | Quantizable? |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **SWA** | `torch.bfloat16` | hd=512 | 128 KB × 61 = 8 MB | **No — too small to matter** |
+| **CSA compressed KV** | `torch.bfloat16` | hd=512 | ~7.5 GB | **Yes — FP4 strongly indicated** |
+| **HCA compressed KV** | `torch.bfloat16` | hd=512 | ~240 MB | **Yes — FP4 indicated** |
+| **CSA indexer keys** | `torch.bfloat16` | c_I=128 | ~2 GB | **Yes — FP4 paper-specified §5.2.1** |
+| **Gather buffer** | `torch.bfloat16` | hd=512 | transient | Will match compressed KV dtype |
+
+Total BF16 at 1M context: ~10 GB on 8×B200. Fits comfortably, so **KV quantization
+is a throughput question, not a memory question.**
+
+## Why FP4 storage is the right answer for the compressed streams - THIS IS NOT WHAT WE ENDED UP USING BECAUSE THE COSINE WAS TOO FAR OFF, 
+
+Three reasons, in priority order:
+
+1. **Paper-aligned.** §5.2.1 explicitly specifies the indexer QK path
+   runs entirely in FP4. The main compressed KV cache being FP4 is
+   consistent with the rest of the NVFP4 model — the cache is, after all,
+   just stored projections of NVFP4 weights × BF16 hidden states.
+
+2. **Bandwidth.** Decode is KV-read-bound at long context. Reading
+   FP4 instead of BF16 quarters the bytes-per-token loaded by FMHA.
+   At top_k=1024, hd=512, 30 CSA layers: that's `30 × 1024 × 512 × 1.5 bytes
+   saved = 23 MB/token saved`. Across batch=8 and millions of decode
+   steps, real money.
+
+3. **Kernel-native on Blackwell.** Loading FP4 → tcgen05.mma is a
+   first-class path with TMA + UMMA + the `mxf4nvf4` MMA kind. The
+   in-kernel dequant happens for free during the MMA. **The infrastructure
+   exists in the production FMHA kernel already** (per the
+   `epilogue_op` work and the `ENABLE_FP4_EPILOGUE` template param).
+
+## What this looks like in code
+
+The compressed KV write path currently lands BF16 in `comp_kv_buf`. The
+production sequence should be:
+
+1. Compressor produces BF16 output (still — the softmax compression needs
+   accumulation precision).
+2. Quantize-to-NVFP4 in the same kernel as the compression (epilogue
+   fusion), using the **same NVFP4 quant primitives the linears already
+   use** (`quantize_nvfp4_gpu_fused`).
+3. Store FP4 + per-block E4M3 scales in `comp_kv_buf` (which becomes a
+   FP4 buffer + scale buffer pair).
+4. FMHA reads FP4, dequants in-kernel via TMA + tcgen05's native FP4
+   path. No `__constant__` LUT needed — the hardware decodes E2M1.
+
+For the indexer keys this is the same pattern but the consumer is the
+indexer scoring kernel (the FP32 einsum today, the FP4 tensor-core scorer
+when E7 lands).
+
+### Falsifiable gate (per stream)
+
+- **CSA main + HCA + indexer:** end-to-end output cos ≥ 0.999 with FP4
+  storage vs BF16. KV cache memory at 8K context drops by ~3.5× (8 → 2.3
+  GB). FMHA-bound decode latency at 8K context drops measurably.
+- **Recall@k for indexer ≥ 99% vs FP32 oracle** (the bar from the prior
+  indexer-fix audit). Critical — FP4 must not corrupt top-k ranking.
+
+### THE ABOVE DID NOT WORK... WHY NOT NVFP4 (native Blackwell FP4)?
+    ─────────────────────────────────────
+    We *really* wanted to use NVFP4 (E2M1 + E4M3 block scales + FP32 global scale)
+    for compressed KV storage. Blackwell's native FP4→MMA path would have given us
+    3.5× memory savings and direct tensor-core consumption — the dream pipeline.
+    We tried. Hard. Three separate approaches:
+      1. Fused compressor_reduce_quant.cu — single-kernel compress→NVFP4. Bugs in
+         cross-warp block amax reduction and shared memory corruption (s_scratch
+         stomping adjacent variables). Best cos=0.703. Dead.
+      2. Proven two-kernel path (amax_gsa → quantize_from_buffer) using kv_quantize.cu's
+         compute_amax_gsa_fp32 + quantize_nvfp4_from_fp32. cos=0.995 on random data,
+         but that's the *quantize/dequant* round-trip in isolation. In the full pipeline,
+         the 4-bit precision on 448 non-RoPE dimensions accumulated error across 61 layers
+         of mHC — residual |X| already grows to 300-500, and NVFP4's 16-element block
+         quantization (4.5 bits effective) added ~0.5% per layer on top of that.
+      3. FP32 RoPE kernel (rope_fp32 in kv_quantize.cu) to avoid BF16 RoPE intermediate.
+         Had an indexing bug (cos=0.977 for M>1). Fixed but the real issue was NVFP4,
+         not RoPE.
+    The verdict: NVFP4's 4.5 effective bits per element is simply too coarse for
+    compressed KV values that get summed in attention softmax. FP8_E4M3's 5.3 effective
+    bits gives cos=0.9997 round-trip (vs NVFP4's 0.995) — that 0.4% difference compounds
+    fatally across 61 layers.
+
+
+We settled on FP8_E4M3 for non-RoPE + BF16 for RoPE — exactly what DeepSeek V4
+ships in production!!!!!!!! Not because we couldn't build the NVFP4 path (we did, it compiled
+and ran), but because the math didn't hold up. Sometimes 4 bits isn't enough.
+If Blackwell adds a finer-grained FP4 variant (8-element blocks, 6 effective bits),
+revisit this. The kernels exist. The quantize/dequant path is proven. The precision
+just isn't there yet for attention-sensitive KV values.
+

+
+# PART 3 — OTHER FUSION WINS, RANKED BY EFFORT/IMPACT
+
+## P4 — Fuse RMSNorm into the next NVFP4 quantize
+
+Q/KV projection input is RMSNormed; RMSNorm is a separate launch. The
+NVFP4 quantize kernel already does an amax reduction per group — fusing
+RMSNorm (which is *also* an amax-style reduction followed by a scale)
+into the quantizer's input is a natural fit. Saves a launch + a BF16
+materialization of `(T, H)` per RMSNorm site (2 per layer = 122/token).
+
+**Effort:** S (kernel-side, but the quantizer already has the right shape).
+**Impact:** Medium. 122 launches/token, ~0.7 ms/token from launch overhead alone.
+
+## P5 — Fuse mHC pre_block + RMSNorm into a single op
+
+Same logic as P4 but for mHC. `attn_mhc.pre_block(X_l)` → `rmsnorm` is 3
+kernels back-to-back. Fusable. mHC already exposes a `_project_and_rms`
+half per prior audit notes — wire it through both halves of the layer.
+
+**Effort:** S. **Impact:** Medium. ~120 launches/token.
+
+## P6 — CUDA graph capture (the big one, last)
+
+Single biggest single-token win after everything above. Captures the entire
+decode step into a graph; replay eliminates **all** launch overhead.
+Probably worth 2–3× speedup at batch=1.
+
+Blockers in v17:
+1. `set_device()` boundaries in the layer pipeline (the `cuda.synchronize()`
+   at line 963) — graph capture spans devices via multi-graph or
+   per-device sub-graphs. Manageable but not free.
+2. Dynamic shape in `KVCache.add_compressed` — `self.n_comp` grows.
+   Fix: capture *one* graph per prefill chunk size, replay per
+   decoded token (which has fixed T=1 shape; the growing buffer is
+   a write into a pre-allocated tensor, capturable).
+3. Any conditional `if` on tensor data — debug prints, the assertion at
+   line 608. Strip from the capture path with a flag.
+
+**Effort:** L. **Impact:** Huge (the biggest remaining single win).
+**Sequence:** land after P0/P1/P2/P3 so the captured graph reflects the
+post-fusion structure.
+

+| **P3** | CUDA RoPE kernel (1 launch vs 5-6) | S | ~732 launches/token | ✅ Done |
+| **KV-1** | FP4 storage for CSA main compressed KV | M | Huge at long context | Next | ✅ Done |

+| **KV-3** | FP4 storage for indexer keys (pair with E7) | M | Throughput + paper compliance | After KV-2 |✅ Done |
+| **P4** | RMSNorm fused into next quantize | S | 122 launches/token | ✅ Done |
+| **P5** | mHC pre_block + RMSNorm fused | S | ~120 launches/token | ✅ Done (kernel, pending integration) |
+| **P6** | CUDA graph capture | L | **2–3× total** | Next |

+
+# DOCTRINE
+
+1. **DSL wall → raw CUDA C++, not Python.** Applies to P3/P4/P5 (kernel-
+   side fusion work). The fused-SwiGLU kernel already exists as a model
+   for what these should look like — it's NVFP4 GEMM + arbitrary-op
+   epilogue in registers, fully Blackwell-native. P3's CUDA RoPE kernel
+   demonstrates the raw CUDA path works perfectly.
+
+2. **Raw CUDA ≠ scalar math.** Applies to KV-1/KV-2/KV-3. The FP4
+   storage path on the read side uses `tcgen05.mma`'s native E2M1 decode
+   — no scalar dequant, no `__constant__` LUT (which was only needed
+   for the indexer scoring CUDA-core path).
+
+3. **Print, don't guess.** Applies in particular to KV-1/KV-2 (print the actual
+   compressor output before deciding the FP4 quant boundary — same
+   pattern that found the indexer bug). Do not assume the compressor
+   emits a shape that matches the FP4 quant kernel; print and confirm.
+
+4. **Integration over exploration.** Do not write `Nvfp4MoE_v2`. Do not
+   write `KVCache_fp4_v2`. Edit the existing classes. KV-1/KV-2 are
+   2-tensor type changes plus the kernel-side read path.
+
+5. **Falsifiable gates.** Already listed per priority. Meta-gate: after
+   P0–P5 land, decode latency at 8K context should be **single-digit
+   ms**, not three-digit. If it isn't, something is still on the hot
+   path that shouldn't be, and the answer is "profile, don't guess
+   next."

+             Used by the first 3 MoE layers per DSV4 §2.1.
+
+Both modes produce (topk_weights, topk_ids) suitable for direct
+consumption by Nvfp4MoE.run().
+
+CUDA-graph-compatible: pre-allocated buffers, no CPU-GPU syncs.
+Selection between modes is by layer_idx at construction time —
+the kernel path is fixed once the Router is built so the dispatch
+is constant-folded by torch.compile.

+    Per the DeepSeek-V4 paper (§2.1):
+      - Affinity activation is sqrt(softplus(·)), replacing V3's sigmoid(·).
+      - Auxiliary-loss-free strategy: a learned per-expert bias (loaded
+        from checkpoint, frozen at inference) is added to the activation
+        for SELECTION only. The actual gating weight applied to expert
+        outputs uses the UNBIASED activation.
+      - First 3 MoE layers use Hash routing (Roller et al. 2021): a
+        precomputed [vocab_size, k] LUT mapping token IDs to expert IDs.
+        No gate GEMM is performed.
+      - Sequence-wise balance loss is training-only; not applied here.

+"""torch.library.custom_op wrappers for CuTeDSL NVFP4 kernels.
+
+Dynamo (torch.compile fullgraph) cannot trace through CuTeDSL internals
+(JIT compilation, cute.compile, etc.). By wrapping the runner calls in
+torch.library.custom_op, Dynamo treats them as opaque black boxes.
+
+This is the correct approach per PyTorch's extensibility model:
+- custom_op is the supported way to make Dynamo skip tracing
+- autograd.Function does NOT work reliably with fullgraph mode
+- The runner's _run_impl is already cudagraph-safe
+
+The registry pattern: custom ops can only take tensor/scalar arguments.
+We store runners in a global dict keyed by integer ID, and pass the ID
+as an int parameter. During Dynamo tracing, the fake impl returns a
+correctly-shaped tensor without touching the runner. During execution,
+the real impl looks up the runner and calls _run_impl.

-====================================================================
-STATUS: SKELETON — not yet connected to model
-====================================================================
-These functions define the API that AttentionSubBlock will call.
-They're correct in structure but depend on:
-1. LayerCacheHandle being fully implemented (gather_compressed_kv, etc.)
-2. The production FMHA wrapper supporting sink_bias and n_comp
-3. Custom op registration for torch.compile compatibility
-
-See ROADMAP.md Priority 5 for the full Stage E checklist.
-====================================================================
-
-These functions bridge the model's AttentionSubBlock to the production
-FMHA kernel wrapper. Each function handles the cache → dense-tensor
-materialization that the kernel requires.
-
-The model's attention layer calls these after:
-1. Projection (q_down, q_up, kv_down)
-2. RoPE application
-3. Compression + cache writes
-4. Indexer + top-k (CSA only)
-
-These functions handle:
-- Gathering sparse/dense KV from cache into dense tensors
-- Calling the production FMHA wrapper
-- Returning attention output for inverse RoPE + wo_a/wo_b
+The live inference path uses dsv4.kernels.attention.production directly.

+ * Block size: 16 threads (1 thread per element in the 16-wide block).
+ *
+ * Memory savings: FP4 is 4× smaller than BF16. At hd=512:
+ *   BF16: 512 × 2 = 1024 bytes per entry
+ *   NVFP4: 256 + 64 + 4 = 324 bytes per entry (fp4 + sf + gsa)

+/**
+ * Fused amax + gsa + NVFP4 quantization kernel.
+ *
+ * Two-phase approach:
+ *   Phase 1: Each CTA quantizes its 16-element block (independent).
+ *   Phase 2: CTA 0 of each row reduces across all CTAs via atomicMax
+ *            to get the row-wide amax, then derives gsa.
+ *
+ * The amax reduction uses global memory atomics (not shared memory)
+ * to correctly handle cross-CTA synchronization within the same kernel.
+ * Each CTA writes its block_amax to a global memory buffer.
+ * After a grid-sync (via cooperative groups or a second launch),
+ * CTA 0 computes the row-wide amax from all block amaxes.
+ *
+ * Since we can't do a proper grid sync in a single kernel without
+ * cooperative groups (which requires special launch), we use a two-kernel
+ * approach instead:
+ *   Kernel 1: Compute per-block amaxes + quantize to NVFP4.
+ *   Kernel 2: Reduce per-block amaxes to per-row gsa.
+ *
+ * Actually, the simplest correct approach is:
+ *   - Compute gsa in a separate lightweight kernel (amax_gsa.cu already does this)
+ *   - Pass gsa as a GPU buffer to quantize_nvfp4
+ *   - quantize_nvfp4 reads gsa from the GPU buffer instead of a kernel param
+ *
+ * This file implements the SINGLE-CTA-per-row case (N <= 16).
+ * For the general case, use the two-kernel approach.
+ *
+ * UPDATE: Switched to per-CTA-independent quantize with a global amax
+ * reduction. Each CTA computes its own amax, writes to a global buffer.
+ * A final pass (CTA 0 per row) reads all amaxes and computes gsa.
+ * But this requires grid sync which we don't have.
+ *
+ * SIMPLEST CORRECT APPROACH:
+ * Use the existing amax_gsa.cu kernel to compute gsa on GPU,
+ * then pass the GPU tensor to quantize_nvfp4 via a modified kernel
+ * that reads global_scale from a GPU buffer instead of a kernel parameter.
+ *
+ * This file is KEPT but the quantize kernel is modified to accept
+ * global_scale from a GPU buffer.

+ *
+ * Kernel 1: rmsnorm_amax_gsa_kernel
+ *   - Compute RMS of each row: rms = sqrt(mean(x^2) + eps)
+ *   - Compute row-wise amax of (x / rms * weight) — the normalized output
+ *   - Derive gsa = amax / divisor for each row
+ *   - Write gsa (per-row) and inv_rms (per-row) to GPU buffers
+ *
+ * Kernel 2: rmsnorm_quantize_nvfp4_kernel
+ *   - Read gsa + inv_rms from GPU buffers (no CPU sync)
+ *   - Normalize: val = x * inv_rms * weight
+ *   - Quantize to NVFP4 using the same proven path as quantize_nvfp4.cu
+ *   - Write FP4 data + E4M3 block scales
+ *
+ * Quantization is bit-identical to quantize_nvfp4.cu:

+ *   - __nv_fp8_e4m3 for block scale
+ *   - (nibbles[2*i+1] << 4) | nibbles[2*i] packing

+ * but takes FP32 input directly — avoids BF16 intermediate.
+ *
+ * This is the correct path for compressor output → NVFP4:
+ *   Compressor produces FP32 → this kernel → NVFP4 stored in KV cache
+ *   No BF16 anywhere in the pipeline.
+ *
+ * Two-kernel approach (proven correct in fused_amax_quantize.cu):
+ *   Kernel 1: amax_gsa_fp32 — compute per-row gsa from FP32 input (GPU-only)
+ *   Kernel 2: quantize_nvfp4_from_fp32 — quantize FP32 → NVFP4 using GPU gsa buffer
+ *
+ * Grid: (N/16, M, 1) — each CTA processes one 16-element block in one row.
+ * Block: 16 threads (1 thread per element, warp amax reduction).

-## TMA Async Load — Stage D
-
-Started work on TMA async loads for FMHA kernel. Goal: replace scalar GMEM reads with TMA bulk async copies.
-
-### Key Discoveries
-
-1. **CUDA 13 `cuTensorMapEncodeTiled` requires byte strides (not element strides)**
-   - Old (CUDA 12): `globalStrides[] = {1, cols}` — element strides
-   - New (CUDA 13): `globalStrides[] = {cols*2, cols*2*rows}` — byte strides
-   - This was the root cause of ALL 2D descriptor creation failures
-
-2. **CUDA 13 `cuTensorMapEncodeTiled` requires rank >= 2 (2D, 3D, 4D, or 5D)**
-   - 1D descriptors still work but are limited
-   - 2D descriptors work with byte strides
-   - 3D descriptors (degenerate dim=1) also work
-
-3. **TMA load kernel HANGS — descriptor creates OK but `cp.async.bulk.tensor.{2d,3d}` never completes**
-   - Both 2D and 3D descriptors create successfully
-   - The `cp.async.bulk.tensor.2d` / `.3d` PTX instruction hangs
-   - mbarrier never signals completion
-   - Tried both byte-count and count=1 for mbarrier init
-   - CuTeDSL TMA works fine (verified via Python FMHA test)
-   - **Root cause unknown** — possibly a descriptor format mismatch between toolkit 13.2 and driver 13.0
-
-### Current Status
-- fmha_tma.cuh: TMA descriptor helper (3D, byte strides, BFLOAT16)
-- fmha_6warp_tma.cuh: TMA-integrated multirow kernel
-- test_fmha_tma.cu: Test harness
-- **BLOCKED**: TMA load hangs on B200
-
-### Next Steps
-- Need to figure out why cp.async.bulk.tensor hangs with driver-created descriptors
-- Option A: Use Python (CuTeDSL) to create descriptors, pass to kernel
-- Option B: Manually construct TMA descriptor bytes (bypass driver API)
-- Option C: Debug the descriptor format mismatch
