loader.rs

//! Weight loader: CMF tensor directory → Pipeline.
//!
//! Storage rule: models WITH task masks are dequantized to f32 (masked
//! execution needs f32 row access; skill files are small by design).
//! Models without masks keep quantized matrices zero-copy from the mmap
//! (`QTensor::Mapped`) — this is what lets a 15B file run in a few GB
//! of RSS instead of 60 GB of f32.
//!
//! Layer kinds come from `arch.layer_types`: FullAttention loads
//! `self_attn.*` (with auto-detected Qwen3.5 extras: per-head qk-norm by
//! tensor presence, output gate by q_proj row count); LinearAttention
//! loads the canonical core `vmf_attn.*` (folded at convert time).
