//     with a single rounding (no rounded intermediate product), the lanes
//     reduce as a small pairwise tree, and the long Xᵀr reduction is split
//     into fixed-size row blocks whose partials are combined pairwise,
//     turning the naive O(n·ε) error growth into ~O((block + log(n/block))·ε).
//
// Non-contiguous / non-row-major operands fall back to the faer path, so the
