- Introduce KernelTraits<HEAD_DIM, BC, WARPS, STAGES> compile-time config bundle, replacing scattered <KD, NC8, KT2, ...> template params
- Template all MMA and scalar kernels on IsCausal/HasMask bools to eliminate inner-loop runtime branches
- Dispatch to 4-path IsCausal/HasMask kernel variants at entry points based on p.causal_offset and p.use_mask
- Update standalone test files with new kernel signatures, add causal test cases
- Fix duplicate using bf16 in MMA kernels that include attn_mma_utils.cuh
- Replace is_causal + causal_offset with unified causal_offset (-1 = off, >=0 = first Q pos)
- Causal and mask can now coexist (was mutually exclusive)
- Add stride-based addressing for Q/KV/O (layout-agnostic, zero-copy)
- Add layout param ("bhld"/"blhd") parsed in Python, passed as int to C++
- Support 2D [batch, kv_len] and 3D [batch, q_len, kv_len] mask
- Vectorize paged KV gather in Python fallback (was per-token Python loop)
- Extract shared helpers: compute_num_splits, alloc_split_partials, dispatch_head_dim
- Unify paged_decode entry via attn_pack_paged_params
- Update mma_softmax_tile for 3D mask with per-row qrow indexing
- PagedAttentionParams merged into attn_common.h
- Scalar variant: warp-per-query-head split-KV, resolves page table per-position for the K/V shared-memory tile load
- MMA variant (sm_80+): tensor-core head-packing with cp.async, single page-table lookup per tile (BC=32 fits within page_size>=32)
- Standalone test: 14 cases across head_dim 32/64/128/256, GQA, multi-batch, both paths verified against CPU reference
