//! GPTQ → Marlin weight repack utility — Phase 48 Goal C.
//!
//! Pure-Rust host-side routine that converts a GPTQ-format quantized
//! weight tensor (asymmetric int4 with per-group scales + zero-points
//! + optional `g_idx` activation-order permutation) into the symmetric
//! int4 layout expected by [`super::int4_marlin::Int4MarlinGemmPlan`].
//!
//! Reference: AutoGPTQ's `use_marlin=True` repack path
//! (`auto_gptq/utils/marlin_utils.py`) + the upstream Marlin packer
//! at `marlin/__init__.py`. The repack is **lossy in general** —
//! GPTQ's asymmetric format can encode weights Marlin's symmetric
//! format cannot represent exactly. In practice the lossy
//! transformation is acceptable (the per-output-row absmax dominates
//! quantization noise) and is the standard production approach.
//!
//! ## Algorithmic outline
//!
//! 1. **Activation-order permutation reversal**. GPTQ may store
//!    weights in `g_idx`-permuted order (activation-aware
//!    quantization, "act_order=True"). Marlin is `g_idx`-agnostic.
//!    We undo the GPTQ permutation along the K (= IC) axis before
//!    the int4-layout shuffle.
//! 2. **Zero-point absorption**. GPTQ stores `(q, scale, zp)` per
//!    group such that `w ≈ scale * (q - zp)`. Marlin stores
//!    `(q', scale')` such that `w ≈ scale' * (q' - 8)` (symmetric,
//!    fixed zero at 8). The conversion holds the int4 storage byte
//!    constant (`q' = q`) and adjusts the dequant arithmetic by
//!    folding `(zp - 8)` into a per-group additive shift. Marlin's
//!    scale layout doesn't carry an additive shift, so the **standard
//!    approximation** is to set `scale' = scale` and accept the
//!    small reconstruction error from `zp != 8`. Higher-quality
//!    variants (AWQ-style "scale-search" calibration) can search
//!    for a better per-group scale; documented as a future
//!    refinement.
//! 3. **Int4 weight reshuffle**. Marlin's `marlin_cuda` kernel
//!    expects an offline permutation along both axes to align with
//!    tensor-core fragment layout. The permutation is hardcoded in
//!    `marlin/__init__.py` as `_perm`, `_scale_perm`, and
//!    `_scale_perm_single`. We replicate those tables here.
//! 4. **Pack into Marlin's int32 format**. The output is `[K/16,
//!    N*16/8]` int32 with 8 int4 nibbles per int32 word.
//!
//! ## Implementation status
//!
//! This is a **trailblazer** implementation that covers the API
//! surface and the host-side data-movement; the int4 permutation
//! tables match upstream Marlin's reference. The output is
//! algorithmically valid Marlin input but should be cross-checked
//! against the upstream Python packer on a real GPTQ checkpoint
//! before production use — see the `gptq_to_marlin_smoke` test for
//! the roundtrip validation harness.
//!
//! ## Cargo feature
//!
//! Gated behind the `marlin` cargo feature alongside the Rust plan.
//! The utility itself has no GPU dependencies but only makes sense
//! when consumers also link the Marlin kernel.
