//! KV cache — per-layer, head-major storage.
//!
//! Layout: one contiguous `Vec<f32>` per KV head (`[pos × head_dim]`),
//! so per-head attention reads a straight slice — no per-head gather
//! copies per token. Dead GQA groups (all Q heads masked) store
//! nothing at all: masked heads cost neither FLOPs nor memory.

/// frozen after WARMUP positions with retroactive requantization
