Per review:
- Placement unified to *contiguous* C×P blocks throughout (S0/S2.1/S2.2/S0.5);
round-robin demoted to the rejected alternative. Adds driver SP-enable
threshold fallback (smaller C / C=P=1 for short/early decode).
- Ring-vs-reduce cost model in S5.5: reduce ~ G*T_q*log(C*P) (O dominant;
m,l scalars), ring ~ 2*S (total K+V bytes a CUBE injects over C-1
rotations; recv_async pipelines so latency ~ max-step) -> ring wins when
T_q > 2S/(G*log(C*P)).
- opt3 'removes the bubble' -> 'hides (subject to scheduler+engine balance)'
everywhere; table 'hidden*' with footnote.
- 'rank' defined (SP participant = a PE in a CUBE, KV shard in its HBM->TCM).
- out-proj handoff contract (S0.5.4); S11 gate-type note (absolute latency
deferred to ADR-0064; structural + relative-to-baseline gates now).
- greenlet-as-contrast tightened to 'primitive-op (tl.dot) path' (S1, SB).
KO mirror synced; DDD gets the SP-enable threshold fallback. Docs only.

DDD-0060 was rewritten to the two-kernel composite-hybrid design, so SB
item 1 ('DDD not yet synced') is stale. Update EN + KO mirror to record the
DDD as synced (ADR authoritative, DDD = impl how-to). Docs only.

Regenerate the KO mirror to match the current EN: two SP kernels
(decode=reduce / prefill=ring), TL;DR full code for the 3 decode variants
+ prefill, 'Q replicated / M-fold' and '1 Q head per CUBE' terminology,
contiguous shared KV layout, opt2 tl.wait, and all SB items. Docs only.

Placement pivot (user-approved): a CUBE Group = C CUBEs within one SIP that
jointly own one KV head + its G=8 query heads. KV sequence sharded 2 levels
(Level-1 inter-CUBE over C, Level-2 intra-CUBE PE over P=8 = C*P ranks); G
folded into matmul M. C is a knob (8/4; C=1 = single-CUBE). Reverses the old
'a query head never spans CUBEs' non-goal (held only because the baseline
was H_kv=1). device=SIP; the for-kv loop is gone (head picked by CUBE coord).
Reduction is a 2-level reduce-to-root (not all-reduce): Level-2 PE tree ->
Level-1 center-root CUBE-mesh reduce, adapting lrab_hierarchical_allreduce's
inter-CUBE pattern as reduce-only + log-sum-exp. Data-driven (send on local
P.V completion, no global barrier) + level-pipelined; per-level topology
configurable (tree for decode, ring for long prefill).
Rewrites SS0/2/4/5/0.5/8-11, pseudocode, and adds SSB items (4-SIP config,
mesh partition, C knob, invariant-reversal check, index-math test). KO mirror
updated. Topology grounded in topology.yaml (4x4 CUBE mesh/SIP, 8 PE/cube).
Docs only; no production code changed.

- ADR-0060: GEMMs (Q.Kt, P.V) via existing tl.composite (scheduler-managed
tiling + K/V DMA streaming); softmax merge + IPCQ tree reduction stay in
kernel. Front TL;DR pseudocode of the final composite kernel; new section
B lists open design items (DDD sync, K pre-transpose, dma_read lever,
kernel-vs-scheduler tiling, ring path).
- ADR-0062: redefined from a new load_async op to global lazy tl.load
(non-blocking + auto-wait on first use; API unchanged; goldens regenerate).
- ADR-0064 (new): per-op-type CPU issue cost model (composite ~40ns >>
primitive) so the hybrid's CPU-saturation win becomes measurable
(currently dispatch_cycles=0 hides it). Cost-model impl deferred.
- KO mirrors for ADR-0060/0062/0064 (-ko suffix, adr-proposed).
Rationale: non-blocking CompositeCmd offloads tiling to PE_SCHEDULER,
decoupling CPU issue-rate from execution so the CPU can saturate the
engines; the prior 'composite = no latency benefit' claim was an artifact
of dispatch_cycles=0. Docs only; no production code changed.
