//! frink-quant: dequantization kernels for the block-quantized tensor
//! formats used by GGUF files (Q4_0, Q8_0, Q4_K, Q5_K, Q6_K).
//!
//! These block layouts are a public, widely documented convention
//! (originated in ggml). The functions here are independent
//! implementations written against that public layout description, not
//! copied from any other project's source. Q4_K and Q6_K in particular
//! are the dominant real-world GGUF quantization formats (most
//! published checkpoints ship as Q4_K_M or similar K-quant mixes, not
//! the legacy Q4_0/Q8_0 formats). These are checked against independent
//! Python cross-validation, following the same discipline as
//! `frink-models`'
//! GGUF-roundtrip tests.

// IQ1_S / IQ1_M / IQ2_XXS / IQ2_XS / IQ2_S / IQ3_XXS / IQ3_S: the
// codebook-grid low-bit formats used throughout published "Dynamic"
// low-bit GGUFs of large MoE models.
// Unlike every format above, an element's magnitude comes from a shared
// grid table (`iq_tables`) indexed by packed code bits, with signs
// applied from a shared 7-bit sign-pattern table (the `_XXS`/`IQ2_XS`
// tier) or from literal sign bytes (the `_S` tier) -- not from an
// arithmetic transform of the stored bits. Layouts and semantics
// written against ggml's published dequant reference
// (`dequantize_row_iq1_s`/`_iq1_m`/`_iq2_xxs`/`_iq2_xs`/`_iq2_s`/
// `_iq3_xxs`/`_iq3_s` in `ggml/src/ggml-quants.c`); cross-validated
// against the real compiled ggml implementation -- for the `_XXS` tier
// via an independent Python reference checked against
// `ggml_get_type_traits(...)->to_float`, and for IQ2_XS/IQ2_S/IQ3_S/
// IQ1_M by linking ggml-quants.c directly and asserting bit-exact
// equality with its output (see this module's tests).
//
// A wrong grid index or a wrong sign/scale unpack in these formats does
// not produce obviously broken numbers -- it produces plausible ones
// from the same codebook. So every one of them is pinned to ggml's own
// bytes rather than to a self-consistent re-derivation, and the pinned
// blocks deliberately include the all-ones pattern (maximum grid index,
// every sign bit, maximum scale nibbles) and the all-zeros pattern.
