//! Nyström (landmark) attention kernel — streaming per-GQA-group runtime
//! for long-context `attn_type: nystrom` layers.
//!
//! Attention splits into an EXACT sliding window (last `w` keys) and a
//! landmark-skeleton far field sharing ONE joint denominator:
//!
//! ```text
//! out(q_t) = (Σ_{j>t-w} e_j·v_j + F·M·T_far) / (Σ_{j>t-w} e_j + F·M·Z_far)
//! e_j   = exp(q_t·k_j/√d)                      exact near weights
//! F_i   = exp(q_t·k̃_i/√d)                      scores vs landmark keys
//! M     = pinv_reg(exp(Q̃·K̃ᵀ/√d))               fixed after prefill
//! T_far = Σ_{j≤t-w} exp(Q̃·k_j/√d)·v_jᵀ         [m × dv]
//! Z_far = Σ_{j≤t-w} exp(Q̃·k_j/√d)              [m]
//! ```
//!
//! exp(q·k) is a PSD kernel, so the UNNORMALIZED skeleton (classic
//! Nyström/CUR) is legal.  Do NOT row-softmax the factors and do NOT
//! normalize the key scores over landmarks — both "simplifications"
//! measurably collapse quality (validated in the torch matrix probes).
//!
//! Boundary discipline: key j enters T/Z at the exact step it LEAVES
//! the window (t = j+w) — delayed insertion, no overlap, no hole; the
//! near mass stays exact rather than Nyström-estimated.
//!
//! Sink tokens (spec §5b, StreamingLLM discipline): the first `sink`
//! keys of the sequence are PERMANENT exact keys — the near mask is
//! (t-j < w) OR (j < sink) — and must never enter the far accumulators.
//! Here they never enter the ring window in the first place (they live
//! in a dedicated buffer), so delayed insertion cannot see them: no
//! double count, no gap.  Measured: sinks make the full 28/28-layer
//! O(1) conversion viable — the default mode.
//!
//! Quality of THIS kernel, measured through it (`cortiq ppl --o1 all`,
//! Qwen3-0.6B, all 28 layers, m=32 W=128 sink=4, wikitext-2 val, 12×512
//! windows, landmarks frozen at a 256-token prefill): ×1.296 vs exact
//! attention over the same scored tokens (28.04 vs 21.63).
//!
//! The older ×1.177 figure is NOT this operator: it comes from the torch
//! matrix probe, which (a) rectifies every per-(t,j) weight — impossible
//! to stream, the weights are never materialized — (b) builds landmarks
//! from the FULL sequence rather than the prefill, and (c) averages in
//! the first W positions, which are pure-exact and cost nothing.  Quote
//! ×1.296 for the runtime; ×1.177 is an upper bound the runtime cannot
//! reach by construction.
//!
//! fp32 numerics: raw exp overflows on real logits, so shifts are
//! absorbed into diagonals.  T̂[i]/Ẑ[i] live at scale e^{-m_i} with a
//! per-landmark running max m_i (flash-style rescale on growth); each
//! token's landmark row uses its own shift f; near and far are brought
//! to one common scale before the single joint division.

/// Which rectifier keeps the skeleton's estimated far mass non-negative.
///
/// pinv(exp(Q̃K̃ᵀ/√d)) is violently ill-conditioned, so M is indefinite
/// and the raw skeleton estimates negative weights for a large minority
/// of keys (measured on Qwen3-0.6B: 23.5% of far weights negative,
/// carrying 24.5% of the absolute far mass).  Unrectified, the joint
/// denominator goes near-zero/negative and the model collapses (×510).
///
/// The matrix probe rectifies every estimated weight — `west =
/// ((Fu@Mu)@E).clamp_min(0)`.  A STREAMING kernel cannot do that: the
/// per-(t, j) weights are never materialized, they exist only already
/// contracted against the accumulators.  Two streaming-legal stand-ins:
///
/// MEASURED (Qwen3-0.6B, all 28 layers, W=128, sink=4, wikitext-2 val,
/// 12×512 windows, landmarks frozen at a 256-token prefill — i.e. the
/// runtime's real discipline, `cortiq ppl --o1`):
///
/// ```text
///        m=8              m=16             m=32
/// agg    28.51 (×1.318)   28.82 (×1.332)   28.04 (×1.296)  ← default
/// fm     28.97 (×1.340)   29.69 (×1.373)   30.58 (×1.414)

///

/// selectable because its per-key guarantee is the intuitively "correct"
/// fix and someone will re-derive it: this table is the evidence that it
