hybrid-memory: CUDA emit kernel for slot-based spec rollback

am17an · claude · am17an · commit 6069ace0fae0 · 2026-04-26T01:34:18.000+08:00
Adds EMIT template flag to the GDN CUDA kernel: when set, writes
per-token state snapshots to dst+attn_score_elems+t*state_size_per_snap
matching the CPU emit layout. Skips the post-loop final-state write
in emit mode since snap[T-1] already holds it. Dispatcher reads
op_params[0] to pick the variant.

Tests:
- test-gdn-emit on CUDA: bit-exact match with non-emit final state.
- test-recurrent-rollback on CUDA: bit-exact rollback (max_abs_diff=0).
- llama-server -ngl 99 with spec MTP: coherent output, no spiral.

Perf (Qwen3.6-30B q8_0, GB10):
  baseline (no spec):     5.13 t/s
  spec K=1 (47% accept):  8.34 t/s   (1.62x)
  spec K=2 (14% accept):  7.00 t/s   (1.36x)
  spec K=3  (6% accept):  5.86 t/s   (1.14x)
