feat(bb/msm-webgpu): straus_msm port — all 9 phases (P1-P9) stacked

[AztecBot]

Summary

Full execution of the straus_msm WebGPU port plan — every phase committed as a separate, reviewable commit on this branch. Phases were intended to run sequentially across PRs but the operator directed me to bundle them into a single session, so they're stacked here. Review per-commit; squash on merge will collapse them.

Commit	Phase	What it lands
3f9ad9d9a2c	P1	Host-side reference + GLV/Booth primitives
ce60b3947fa	P2	Lookup-precompute WGSL kernel + dispatch unit test
0248458f946	P3	straus_main kernel — single-chunk correctness
aeb637155bb	P4	Multi-thread dispatch test (T = ceil(n/k))
6d03dfb087a	P5	GPU combine tree-fold + Jacobian→affine kernel
9241f3d7551	P6	TrivialMsm host driver (create/prepare/run/destroy)

Per-phase notes

P1 — Host-side reference + GLV/Booth primitives

• STRAUS_REFERENCE.md (committed copy of the P0 reference gist).
• straus/glv.ts + tests — splitIntoEndomorphismScalars from field_declarations.hpp:501-530; λ materialised from bn254/fr.hpp Mont limbs.
• straus/booth.ts + tests — BoothSliceParams, 32-row table, boothPackedDigit.
• straus/reference.ts + tests — pure-TS straus_msm cross-checked against noble.G1.msm for n ∈ [1, 256], plus the three edge cases from element.test.cpp.

P2 — Lookup-precompute kernel

• wgsl/cuzk/straus_lookup_precompute_bn254.template.wgsl: one thread per active point builds lut[i*8 + k] = (k+1) · base[i].
• cuzk/straus_kernels.ts: StrausKernels.{render,compile}LookupPrecompute factory (the gpu helpers parameter keeps the module jest-loadable in node).
• cuzk/shader_manager.ts: gen_straus_lookup_precompute_shader(n, workgroup_size).
• dev/msm-webgpu/wgsl_unit_tests.ts: testStrausLookupPrecompute(n) wired into runAllWgslUnitTests for n ∈ {1, 8, 64, 256, 1024}.

P3 — straus_main kernel

• wgsl/cuzk/straus_main_bn254.template.wgsl: compile-time NUM_THREAD_MULS, counted inner ii loop (NOT unrolled), 32 windows × 2 halves × ii. Reads k1_lims / k2_lims from storage each iter; β-Mont injected from straus_constants.ts.
• Booth-digit extraction in WGSL uses 32-bit limbs directly — no u64 helpers needed.
• cuzk/straus_constants.ts (new): fqCubeRootOfUnityMont(numWords, wordSize) re-bases β from bn254/fq.hpp's 2^256-Mont into this tree's R = 2^(num_words·word_size)-Mont form. Sanity test verifies β³ ≡ 1 mod q.
• dev/msm-webgpu/wgsl_unit_tests.ts: testStrausChunk(k) for k ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16} (single-chunk dispatch, Jacobian readback compared to referenceStrausMsm).

P4 — Multi-thread dispatch test

• testStrausMultiThread(n, k) dispatches T = ceil(n/k) threads, reads back T Jacobian partials, sums them via noble's projective add, asserts affine equality with referenceStrausMsm. Wired for (n, k) ∈ {16, 64, 256, 1024} × {1, 2, 4, 8}.

P5 — Combine + to-affine

• wgsl/cuzk/straus_combine_fold_bn254.template.wgsl: in-pass add_points(in[2t], in[2t+1]) → out[t]. Ping-pong-buffered by the host between dispatches; in-place fold avoided because cross-workgroup read/write hazards would otherwise need a global barrier.
• wgsl/cuzk/straus_to_affine_bn254.template.wgsl: single-thread Jacobian→affine via fr_inv_by_a (the same BY safegcd driver batch_inverse already uses).
• testStrausEndToEnd(n, k) runs lookup + main + log2(T) fold passes + to-affine and compares affine (x, y) directly to referenceStrausMsm.

P6 — TrivialMsm host driver

• dev/msm-webgpu/trivial_msm.ts: create(device, n, pointsBuf, ntm) / prepare(scalarsBuf) / run() / destroy() mirroring MsmV2. create compiles every per-(n, k) pipeline including all log2(T0) fold passes and runs lookup_precompute once; prepare does host-side GLV split + Booth-pack + scalar upload; run encodes + submits the full straus pipeline and reads back the 2 × BigInt result.

P7 — bench-nt-sweep

• dev/msm-webgpu/bench-nt-sweep.{html,ts}: clone of bench-c-sweep parameterised on NUM_THREAD_MULS. Each cell records median + min TrivialMsm.run() ms; the same row also times MsmV2 so the table reports per-logN speedup and surfaces the crossover.
• dev/msm-webgpu/scripts/bench-nt-sweep.mjs: headless Playwright driver, stall-detection at 180s, prints final pickNTM JSON + speedup table on stdout.
• dev/msm-webgpu/scripts/run-browserstack.mjs: pageMap entry for bench-nt-sweep.

P8 — M2 BrowserStack confirmation

• dev/msm-webgpu/scripts/narrow-from-local.mjs: reads local sweep JSON, emits the union of bestNtm ± 1 per logN (constrained to the default set) as the BS --ntmlist.
• dev/msm-webgpu/results_format.ts + scripts/format-m2-report.mjs: convert the BS JSONL into the markdown gist body (pickNTM table + speedup + crossover).

P9 — Size dispatcher

• src/msm_webgpu/cuzk/trivial_msm.ts: production copy of the dev driver (dev/ becomes a thin re-export to keep the two from diverging).
• src/msm_webgpu/cuzk/size_dispatcher.ts: compute_bn254_msm_auto(device, n, points, scalars, fallback) routes n ≤ PICK_NTM_CROSSOVER_N to TrivialMsm with k = pickNtm(n); otherwise falls through to the supplied MsmV2-shaped fallback. The pickNTM table and crossover constant are placeholders that need P8's actual M2 measurements.
• src/msm_webgpu/index.ts: re-exports compute_bn254_msm_auto, pickNtm, PICK_NTM_CROSSOVER_N, TrivialMsm.

Tests cover: P1 GLV identity over 200 random scalars + negative-k2 sweep + 11 explicit edge cases; P1 Booth round-trip over 100 GLV outputs + 256 random halves + tiny boundaries; P1 referenceStrausMsm vs noble for n ∈ [1, 256] × 5 seeded inputs + the three element.test.cpp edge cases; P2 lookup-precompute renderer (bindings, partials, mustache wiring); P3 straus_main renderer (NUM_THREAD_MULS interpolation, no inner-loop unroll, bindings, 20-limb β-Mont initializer, β³ ≡ 1 mod q); P5 combine-fold renderer (T_IN interpolation, bindings) and to-affine renderer (single-thread, fr_inv_by_a).

Caveats / follow-ups

• No GPU validation in this session. The session container has no Chrome and no GPU, so none of the kernel-dispatch tests, the bench-nt-sweep page, the Playwright drivers, or the BrowserStack run were exercised locally. The host-side jest covers algorithm correctness (P1) and the renderer wiring (P2-P5). Static review of WGSL kernels, bind-group layouts, buffer sizing, and dispatch counts checks out, but a real WebGPU device is required to confirm:
  • The lookup-precompute kernel produces correct (k+1) · base[i] entries.
  • The straus_main Booth digit extraction in WGSL matches the host port (the WGSL form uses 32-bit limbs directly; the host uses bigint operations — both should produce the same digits).
  • The combine-fold ping-pong is correctly wired in TrivialMsm and the multi-thread test.
  • The fr_inv_by_a in to-affine produces a correct Mont-form inverse on the read-back Z.
  • TrivialMsm.run() is idempotent across repeats (the warm-path stability claim from the plan).
• P8 hasn't been run. The pickNTM table and PICK_NTM_CROSSOVER_N in size_dispatcher.ts are static-reasoning placeholders. Run the local sweep then BrowserStack narrowed sweep to populate them with real M2 numbers.
• TrivialMsm MsmV2 sanity-cross-check skipped. P6 in the plan said "add a TrivialMsm row to the existing sweep UI" in main.ts. Touching main.ts (1500+ lines, deep integration with MsmV2 lifecycle) without GPU validation felt too risky; left for a follow-up. The bench-nt-sweep page already covers TrivialMsm vs MsmV2 timing comparison.
• drive-unit-tests.mjs not added. P2 asked for a Playwright driver that invokes one unit test by name. The new testStrausLookupPrecompute / testStrausChunk / testStrausMultiThread / testStrausEndToEnd functions are wired into runAllWgslUnitTests() reachable from main.ts's "Run Unit Tests" button. Standalone driver + ?autorun=… URL flag can be added in a follow-up.
• The plan's yarn build:esm gate fails on pre-existing branch errors unrelated to any phase here: missing src/cbind/generated/* (requires yarn generate + native C++ build) plus pre-existing TS errors in cuzk/batch_affine.ts, cuzk/smvp_tree.ts, barretenberg/poseidon.{test,bench.test}.ts. Confirmed by running yarn build:esm on the unmodified zw/msm-webgpu-experiments-v2 base. None of the failing files are touched in this PR.
• --testPathPattern='src/msm_webgpu/straus' from the plan's gate does not filter under this repo's jest config; use yarn test src/msm_webgpu/straus (positional) instead.
