//!
//! # Implementation note: production DenseQ
//!
//! The production 27B DWQ path keeps dense FFN weights in native GGML
//! block-quantized form and calls `quantized_matmul_ggml` for gate, up, and
//! down projections.  `dispatch_silu_mul` runs on GPU; there is no CPU SiLU
//! bridge on the shipping DenseQ path.
//!
//! # Parity contract
//!
//! - Dense: |GPU − CPU|∞ < 1e-3 F32 (3 BF16-cast projections).
//! - MoE:   |GPU − CPU|∞ < 1e-3 F32 (same per-projection rounding budget).
//!
//! # ADR status
//!
//! P9b complete: both paths wired, parity tests pass.

///
/// Wave 5b.14: addressed the historical per-dense-layer 2-encoder overhead

/// 4.34x wall ratio vs llama at that time).  That old ratio is not the current

/// hf2q 114.4 tok/s vs llama-bench 116.78 tok/s.  The larger current gap is
/// prefill wall time, not this dense decode wrapper alone.
///
/// The pre-fusion path issued 2 separate command buffers per dense layer:
///
/// 1. `dispatch_fused_residual_norm_f32` — produces `ffn_input` from
///    `(hidden, attn_out, post_norm_w)` + writes `ffn_residual` for the
///    later residual add.
/// 2. `build_dense_ffn_layer_gpu_q` — its own encoder for the dense FFN
///    forward + residual add at the end.
///
/// With this variant, the caller can fuse step 1 + step 2 into a single
/// command buffer per dense layer.  This mirrors the MoE-Q `_into` analog
/// (`build_moe_ffn_layer_gpu_q_into`) verbatim — same external-encoder
/// signature, same `decode_pool::pooled_alloc_buffer` for every scratch.
///
/// # Caller contract
///
/// * The caller must provide the encoder.  The encoder must NOT have been
///   committed.
/// * The caller MUST commit the encoder after this function returns; the
///   GPU work is queued but not yet submitted.
/// * The output `MlxBuffer` is allocated from the per-decode-token arena
///   pool; it must NOT be downloaded to CPU via `as_slice` /
///   `download_f32` (the pool's bucket rounding inflates `byte_len`).
///   Decode-path consumers (next layer's fused_residual_norm + lm_head
