//! Tests for the 2-D NeoX RoPE used by Gemma 4 Vision (gemma4v).
//!
//! Verifies (per `/opt/llama.cpp/tools/mtmd/models/gemma4v.cpp:46-91`):
//!   1. Identity at origin: when `pos_x[p] = 0` AND `pos_y[p] = 0`, output equals input.
//!   2. Inverse: applying the kernel and then its inverse (negative angles) recovers input.
//!   3. NeoX-pair structure: at one (pos_x, pos_y) the per-pair rotation
//!      is exactly (a, b) → (a*cos - b*sin, a*sin + b*cos), with the
//!      first-half driven by pos_x and the second-half by pos_y.
//!   4. F32/BF16 parity: BF16 dispatch matches an F32 reference within tolerance.
