Allreduce + pe2pe + ipcq + pe_view auto-regenerated by test sweeps
running against the new chunk-streaming wire timing (per-flit
wormhole) — absolute numbers shift upward to reflect bottleneck-link
transit charged once per flit (instead of the previous cut-through
subtraction at HBM CTRL).

The pe2pe overview compared IPCQ (tl.send + tl.recv) against raw DMA
(tl.load + tl.store), but DMA is one-sided — DST never reads — while
tl.recv pays a slot-read on DST. The comparison was unfair: IPCQ
looked slower partly because it does more work.
Adds tl.recv_no_consume() — a separate, diagnostic-only entry point
that blocks for slot arrival but skips the slot-read (and bank-hop)
charge on DST. Production tl.recv is unchanged (no `consume` kwarg
on the public API), so the diagnostic flag can never accidentally
leak into real workloads.
Updates test_pe_to_pe_latency to call tl.recv_no_consume so the
overview.png shows IPCQ no-consume vs raw DMA on equal footing.
Also fixes PLOT_DIR back to docs/diagrams/pe2pe_latency_plots/
(was lost in a merge). Adds scripts/replot_pe2pe.py for label-only
re-renders without re-measuring.

Move the algorithmic root cube from the corner (cube_w-1,
cube_h-1) to the geometric center (cube_w//2, cube_h//2) and
have each phase converge bidirectionally so the intra-SIP
critical path drops from ~12 hops to ~8 hops on a 4×4 mesh
(left half W→E + right half E→W in row reduce; top half N→S +
bottom half S→N in col reduce; mirrored on broadcast).
Result on torus_2d 6 SIPs at 96 KB / PE on TCM:
before (corner root) : 22.0 µs
after (center root) : 17.2 µs (−22%)
Same shape on ring_1d (−7%) and mesh_2d_no_wrap (−12%); also
holds across SRAM and HBM (~−20% each).
Phase 1 test (test_intercube_root_center.py) asserts the
torus_2d 96 KB latency drops below 20.5 µs and that all 96
cubes still validate (correctness preserved).
Plot updates:
- overview.png: replace constant 10.6 µs theoretical line with
user-supplied hand-derived curve (per-cube packet count =
bytes_per_pe × 8 PEs ÷ 128 B; 1346 ns startup + 1.20 ns/pkt).
- All summary.csv numbers and per-topology PNGs regenerated.
- pe2pe_latency_plots and ipcq diagram emitter PNGs refreshed.

Plot output dirs now live under docs/diagrams/ (the canonical
"derived artifacts" location per CLAUDE.md):
tests/allreduce_latency_plots/ → docs/diagrams/allreduce_latency_plots/
tests/pe2pe_latency_plots/ → docs/diagrams/pe2pe_latency_plots/
+ new docs/diagrams/ipcq_diagram_plots/ with two presentation diagrams
(ipcq_send_recv.png, ipcq_two_pe_dma.png)
New test tests/test_emit_ipcq_diagram.py renders the two IPCQ
diagrams from a static description (no simulation); it exists so
the diagrams can be regenerated reproducibly.
Path references updated in tests/test_pe_to_pe_latency.py.
