docs(v4-plan): all 11+ ROIs now have committed code + tests

Final status snapshot: 7 ROIs landed as full minimal-edit upstream ports
with numerical parity (1, 2, 3.A, 3.5.A, 4, 5, 6). 6 ROIs (3.B-F, 3.5.B-D,
3.7, 7, 8, 9) landed as scaffolds with stable API + dispatch + tests,
falling back to Path A reference until their kernels land.

166/166 v4 tests + 147/147 regression green at HEAD c00c62b. cppmega_mlx/
remains untouched; cppmega_v4/ is the side-by-side plugin.

-**Plugin status (May 2026):** 6 algorithm-foundation ROIs landed as pure-MLX Path A ports (all minimal-edit copies of upstream PyTorch references — FLA for GDN/KDA, TileKernels torch for mHC/Engram, math-equivalent for MoE/MTP). Every port carries a numerical parity test against the upstream PyTorch original. The `cppmega_v4/` plugin remains fully isolated: zero modifications under `cppmega_mlx/`. 91/91 v4 tests + 147/147 combined regression green at last commit (`723db80`).
+**Plugin status (May 2026):** All 11+ ROIs from the plan have committed code and tests. Six ROIs (1, 2, 3.A, 3.5.A, 4, 5, 6) land as full minimal-edit ports of upstream PyTorch references with numerical parity tests; the remaining ROIs (3.B-F, 3.5.B-D, 3.7, 7, 8, 9) land as scaffolds with stable API surfaces, status/env-override machinery, and fall-back-to-Path-A semantics so the plugin runs end-to-end today. Each scaffold's `PathStatus.reason` carries the explicit pending step for the future kernel work.
 
-**Deferred items** (Paths B/C/D/E for GDN+KDA, ROI 5/7/8/9) need Metal/TileLang/CUDA kernel work, ~1-3 days per item. Each can be picked off the deferred list in a follow-up session — the Path A reference and parity-oracle infrastructure are already in place.
+The `cppmega_v4/` plugin remains fully isolated: **zero modifications under `cppmega_mlx/`**. The parallel TileLang / TVM / TVM-FFI performance work on the existing model is unaffected.
+
+**166/166** v4 tests + **147/147** combined regression green at HEAD (`c00c62b`).
+
+**Next session can pick** any scaffolded backend off the list (Path B/C/D/E for GDN+KDA, Lightning Indexer FP8, NSA three-branch, CSA+HCA compression) and swap its fallback for a real Metal/TileLang/CUDA implementation — the rest of the v4 stack will pick it up automatically through the dispatch machinery.
 
 Wall-clock with a single dev: ~7-8 weeks for ROI 1-7 (multi-path GDN/KDA + head-to-head). ROI 8-9 are research spikes, separate cycle.
