//! ADR-033 §Pi Task #25 (2026-05-23) — chunk-parallel gated DeltaNet with
//! K-bank split, enabling Qwen3.6's head_dim=256 to use the chunk path.
//!
//! # Why this exists
//!
//! The existing chunk-parallel kernel suite [`chunk_gated_delta_rule`] has a
//! hard-coded `MAX_K = 128` constraint (sub-kernels `inter_state` and
//! `chunk_o` use compile-time 16-tile MMA loops; runtime K bounds defeat
//! MMA scheduling at a 3.15× cost). Qwen3.6's linear-attention layers use
//! `head_dim = 256`, so they hit the K validator and fall back to the
//! token-by-token autoregressive path. That fallback is ~6.7× slower at
//! pp4096 (per `gpu_delta_net.rs:1118`) and is the documented residual
//! source of the prefill peer-parity gap vs llama.cpp at production shapes.
//!
//! This module implements the multi-iter structural fix per
//! [`chunk_gated_delta_rule.rs:191-195`]:
//!
//! > "To support other K values, port FLA's `b_h1..b_h4` bank-split."
//!
//! # Bank-split approach (2-bank, K=128 each)
//!
//! For K = K1 + K2 (here K1 = K2 = 128, total K = 256), the chunk pipeline
//! decomposes as:
//!
//! | Stage              | Decomposition | Cross-bank op |
//! |--------------------|---------------|---------------|
//! | l2_norm on q/k     | Per-bank      | none          |
//! | cumsum_g           | K-independent | none (run once) |
//! | kkt: K^T @ K       | Per-bank → A_strict_partial | SUM across banks |
//! | tri_solve_invert   | On full A_strict | run once after kkt sum |
//! | recompute_w_u      | Per-bank for w; v's u is shared | depends — see iter 17 |
//! | chunk_inter_state  | Per-bank for h, v_new | h is per-bank stored |
//! | chunk_o: o = q @ h | Per-bank → o_partial | SUM across banks |
//!
//! Math validity:
//! - kkt[i,j] = Σ_k K[i,k]·K[j,k] = Σ_k1 K1[i,k1]·K1[j,k1] + Σ_k2 K2[i,k2]·K2[j,k2]
//!   → ADD across banks (kkt_full = kkt_bank0 + kkt_bank1)
//! - State recurrence h[v,k] is independent across k → bh splits naturally
//!   into bh_bank0[v, K1], bh_bank1[v, K2]
//! - Output o[t,v] = Σ_k q[t,k]·h[k,v] = Σ_k1 q1[t,k1]·h_bank0[k1,v] + ...
//!   → ADD across banks
//!
//! # Trade-offs
//!
//! - **Pro**: reuses existing battle-tested K=128 kernels — no new MMA
//!   kernels to write, no register-pressure risk (avoids iter 7's
//!   falsified fusion pattern).
//! - **Pro**: bank-split is the FLA canonical algorithm — same approach
//!   the upstream reference uses for K>128 cases.
//! - **Con**: 2× kernel dispatches per stage (modulo cumsum which runs
//!   once). Expected speedup ~6.7×/2 = 3.35× over autoregressive — still
//!   strictly net positive vs the current Qwen3.6 fallback.
//! - **Con**: temp buffer overhead for per-bank partial outputs
//!   (a_strict_partial, h_partial, o_partial). Sized to fit M5 Max
//!   unified memory budget — bench validation pending iter 18.
//!
//! # Multi-iter arc plan
//!
//! - **Iter 15 (this commit)**: scaffolding — public function signature,
//!   validation, design doc, scaffolding unit test. Body returns
//!   `MlxError::Unimplemented`.
//! - **Iter 16**: K-slice extraction helpers (memcpy strided K-bank views
//!   into temp buffers; or zero-copy stride-aware views once supported).
//! - **Iter 17**: per-bank kkt + recompute_wu + chunk_inter_state. Stub
//!   chunk_o still missing.
//! - **Iter 18**: per-bank chunk_o + output accumulation (element-wise
//!   sum kernel call across banks).
//! - **Iter 19**: parity tests vs autoregressive at production shapes
//!   (seq=128, 256, 512, 1024). Bit-equivalent target where possible.
//! - **Iter 20**: orchestrator wiring (gpu_delta_net.rs `chunk_path_eligible`
//!   accepts K=256 when bank-split dispatch is available).
//! - **Iter 21**: end-to-end bench Qwen3.6 35B-A3B Q4_0 MoE prefill —
//!   target: hf2q ≥ llama.cpp at all tested seq lengths.
//!
//! # Status
//!
//! Iter 15 SHIPPED 2026-05-23 (scaffolding). Future iters extend per the
//! arc plan above.
