//! GPU Hutchinson stochastic trace estimator for the REML/LAML logdet
//! gradient, per math team block 2 (sections 12–18 of the V100 design).
//!
//! Public entry point: [`evidence_derivatives_hutchinson_gpu`]. For each
//! derivative Hessian `H_j` (`j = 1..D`) and a single penalized Hessian `H`
//! held resident on device, returns the unbiased Hutchinson estimate of
//!
//! ```text
//! t_j = tr(H^{-1} H_j)
//! ```
//!
//! plus the sample standard error of each estimate, computed from `K`
//! Rademacher probe vectors `z_k ∈ {±1}^p` whose entries are drawn from a
//! **stateless SplitMix64 counter hash** (no cuRAND state). The math
//! identity used on device is
//!
//! ```text
//! z^T H^{-1} H_j z  =  z^T H_j w   where   H w = z
//! ```
//!
//! so we factor `H` **once** with `cusolverDnDpotrf`, batch-solve `H W = Z`
//! with **one** `cusolverDnDpotrs` of `nrhs = K`, and then evaluate the
//! quadratic forms with a custom NVRTC reduction kernel. The REML logdet
//! gradient is `g_j = (1/2) · mean_k(q_{j,k})`.
//!
//! Two assembly variants for `H_j` are supported:
//!
//! * **Dense** — caller passes `H_j` as a `p × p` device or host matrix.
//!   GEMM forms `Y_j = H_j W`, then a custom reduction sums
//!   `z_k^T y_{j,k}` per (j, k). Cost: `D` GEMMs of size `p × p × K`.
//! * **Weighted-Gram structural** — caller provides the design `X`
//!   (`n × p`), weight vectors `A_j` (`n`, one per derivative — the
//!   diagonal of the design's row weights that `H_j` adds), and the
//!   per-derivative penalty contribution `Q_pen[j,k]` if any. The kernel
//!   forms `R_Z = X Z` and `R_W = X W` **once** via GEMM and then sums
//!   `sum_i a_j[i] · R_Z[i,k] · R_W[i,k]` per (j, k) without ever
//!   materialising the `p × p` `H_j` matrix. Cost: 2 GEMMs of size
//!   `n × p × K` shared across all `D` derivatives.
//!
//! The structural path is the high-value route for large-scale models
//! where `p` is hundreds and there are many derivatives.
//!
//! # Stateless probe RNG
//!
//! The probe entries are produced on device by a SplitMix64 finalizer over
//! `(seed, probe_index k, coordinate i)`. This has three consequences:
//!
//! 1. No cuRAND state — the kernel is fully stateless, threads write into
//!    `Z[i + k·p]` independently.
//! 2. **Common random numbers**: the first `K1` probes of a run with
//!    `K2 > K1` are bit-identical to a `K = K1` run with the same seed.
//!    This is the property that lets the adaptive `K` schedule build on
//!    earlier probes without re-running them, and lets CPU and GPU
//!    implementations of Hutchinson compare estimator-by-estimator (the
//!    same probes produce the same `q_{j,k}` to round-off).
//! 3. Reproducibility — a probe at `(seed, k, i)` is the same call after
//!    call regardless of how the grid was scheduled.
//!
//! # Gating
//!
//! The companion helper `should_use_gpu_hutchinson` mirrors the CPU
//! gate (`prefers_stochastic_trace_estimation` + matching kernel +
//! plain-SPD logdet path) and adds the GPU-specific minima from the math
//! team's section 18:
//!
//! * `p ≥ 512`
//! * `K ∈ [8, 128]`
//! * Hessian and design held resident or about to be uploaded
//! * The projected penalty-subspace trace is **inactive** (otherwise the
//!   CPU path projects through the IFT kernel — that route is required
//!   for marginal-slope ρ-saturated rows)
