ywkang a8d04750e6 gqa(adr): ADR-0065 review fixes — KERNEL phase/repetition split, auto-bind conflict + MATH-TCM invariants, FIFO conservatism note, logical_bytes per-op summation
ADR-0065 review fixes:
- D3 semantics clarified: position determines *phase* (pre-loop / head /
  in-accumulation / per-output-tile / post-loop), scope determines
  *repetition*. KERNEL = "once per CompositeCmd invocation", not "once
  per kernel launch" — removes ambiguity around softmax_merge's KERNEL
  scope at different positions before/after GEMM.
- D4 MATH-TCM invariant: Phase 1 limits DMA auto-insertion to GEMM
  operands and head outputs; MATH operand with space="hbm" raises
  validation error at TLContext emit. Catches kernel misuse early; a
  MATH-with-HBM path is future work (explicit tl.load + MATH composite).
- D6 #6 NEW: auto-bind conflict — explicit GEMM `a=` + prologue
  primary_out simultaneously → validation error (prevents "which value
  wins" ambiguity).
- D6 #7 NEW: MATH operand TCM-only restatement.
- Consequences/Negative: strict-FIFO conservatism note — safe but may
  under-expose composite-level overlap when handle-sharing composites
  could in principle run in parallel.
- Test Requirements #10, #11: auto-bind conflict + MATH-HBM validation
  error tests.

ADR-0064 Revision 2 clarification:
- D2 counting rule: per-op summation, no deduplication. Same handle
  appearing in multiple OpSpecs or in rw_handles is counted
  independently — matches HW reality (each descriptor field is a
  distinct address slot, rw_handles is separate metadata block).
  Example walked through (mul_bcast with O in src_a + out + rw_handles).

DDD-0065 follow-on:
- §3.2: new test file test_tl_composite_validation.py covers auto-bind
  conflict, MATH-TCM, GEMM-count invariants.
- §4.3: phase vs repetition split aligned with ADR-0065 D3.
- §6 lowering pipeline: step 5 adds auto-bind conflict check; step 8
  NEW — operand space validation; step 9 (size cap); step 10 (emit).
- §8 strict-FIFO conservatism note: explains why next-tile #1 cross-tile
  pipelining still works under FIFO (no rw overlap), and where the
  conservatism would hurt (future handle-sharing recipes).
- §10 verification: invariant-guard tests (auto-bind conflict, MATH
  TCM, per-op summation accuracy).
