- store page-table, request-row, and cache-location indices as int32
- preserve CUDA graph replay with bit-exact logits and KV cache coverage
- improve B=1 decode latency by 1-6% across 1K-32K contexts on L20
- rename output pointer field o to o_ptr for consistency with q_ptr/k_ptr/v_ptr
- regroup AttentionParams fields by responsibility and fix misleading comments
- drop unused max_seq_len/total_q fields and paged decode max_seq_len arg
- drop redundant group_size param from decode launchers (computed from p)
- rename q_stride_* to q_*_stride to match mask stride convention
- rename mask_q_stride to mask_l_stride for consistent l-dim naming
- merge k/v and k_cache/v_cache into k_ptr/v_ptr; rename q to q_ptr
- KVSource policy selects contiguous vs paged mode at compile time
- Replace C++20 explicit lambda template parameters with file-scope structs (DecodeDispatch/PrefillDispatch etc.)
- Remove unused gs variable in run_decode_test
- Tighten paged test atol/rtol from 0.02 to 0.01 to match contiguous tests
- merge AttentionParams and PagedAttentionParams into one struct
- add attn_kv_source.cuh with ContigKV/PagedKV addressing policies
- template prefill/decode kernels (MMA + scalar) on the KV policy, deleting the four duplicated attn_paged_*.cuh variants
- template dispatcher launchers on KV; single combine kernel
- verify: all correctness tests pass and SASS matches baseline (no perf regression)
- Thread a cudaStream_t through attn dispatchers onto torch's current stream
- Scope the device guard to the entry function so kernels run on tensor device
- DISPATCH_HEAD_DIM now forwards varargs so stream reaches each dispatch
- Parallelize CPU reference kernels with OpenMP (paged test 31s -> 7s)
- Merge decode/prefill standalone tests into attn_test.cu with correctness tables
- Drop bench error column (CPU ref too slow at large sizes)
- Update cuda_kernels.md for the merged test layout
