"""Pure-PyTorch decode attention for long contexts (no hardware kernel).
Architecture mirrors CCCL's three-layer reduce:
dispatch_reduce.cuh kernel_reduce.cuh agent_reduce.cuh
(work distribution) (kernel entry) (tile consumption)
CCCL agent_reduce.cuh has two key patterns we translate here:
1. ConsumeFullTile vectorized path: data loaded as VectorT in striped
access (no BlockLoad staging no SMEM for data, only for BlockReduce
scratch). PyTorch equivalent: single reshape+view without .contiguous()
when possible; fall back to one .contiguous() per K/V gather.
2. ConsumeTiles with GridEvenShare STRIP_MINE: each CTA strides across
the input with stride = grid_size * tile_items. For decode (q_len=1),
we tile over KV blocks with adaptive tile_sz per the same
GridEvenShare formula: max_tiles = sm_count * subscription_factor.
3. summary_statistics.cu compound reduce: accumulator = {m, l, o}.
unary_op: score_tile (max, sum_exp, weighted_V).
binary_op: online softmax merge with correction factor.
This is the Flash Attention online softmax identical structure.
For decode, q_len=1 per sequence. The attention weight is [H, 1, seq_len]
which is small (~5 MB at 50K tokens). We tile over KV blocks to control
peak memory and apply online softmax (Flash Attention Algorithm 1) per tile.

# CCCL Design Pattern: summary_statistics.cu transform_reduce
#
# CCCL packs {n, min, max, mean, M2, M3, M4} into one struct and
# computes ALL statistics in a single pass via transform_reduce.
# The binary_op merges two partial results (Welford parallel algo).
#
# Our online softmax is the same pattern:
# accumulator = {m (running max), l (running sum_exp), o (running output)}
# unary_op: score_tile → {max(tile), sum(exp(tile-max)), exp(tile-max) @ V}
# binary_op: merge two accumulators with correction factor
#
# Key insight: kv_heads are INDEPENDENT — no cross-head dependency.
# Current code already batches via [kv_h, gqa, q_len, tile_sz] tensor ops.
# The CCCL pattern validates this is optimal: one matmul per tile across
# all heads simultaneously, not per-head iteration.
#
# Future optimization: if we ever get Triton/CUDA access, the binary_op
# merge step ({m,l,o} update) could be fused with the matmul via a
# custom epilogue — this is what FlashAttention-2/3 does at the CUDA level.
