test: add scan tuning verification — union SMEM model from agent_scan.cuh

Tests scan SMEM safety (7/7 pass), delay parameter scaling from SM100,
and tile size comparison. Key insight: agent_scan.cuh _TempStorage is
a UNION — BlockLoad, BlockStore, BlockScan share SMEM. Peak = max(tile,
scan_scratch), NOT tile + scan_scratch.

8B structs at 99% SMEM utilization (48640/49152) are valid under union model.
Initial test had false SMEM overflow alarm (used sum model).

"""test_scan_tuning.py — Verify muh scan tuning against CCCL ground truth
Scan is SMEM-critical (unlike reduce which is register-limited):
BlockLoad stages data from global→SMEM: tile = threads × items × type_size
BlockScan uses SMEM scratch: ~threads × sizeof(AccumT) for RAKING
Lookback uses tile_state SMEM: negligible (global memory)
Total SMEM ≈ threads × items × type_size + threads × accum_size
Must be ≤ 48KB (49152 bytes) on BI-V100.
CCCL reference: cub/benchmarks/bench/scan/exclusive/sum.cu
ipt_22.tpb_384.ns_1904.dcid_6.l2w_830.trp_1.ld_0 1.148 0.997 1.140 1.463
This benchmark comment tells us SM100's best config for 4B types is:
items=22, threads=384, delay=1904ns, algo=exponential_backon_jitter_window,
l2w=830ns, transpose=true, load=DEFAULT
→ tile = 384 × 22 × 4 = 33792B (69% of 48KB) ✓
BI-V100 differences:
1. SM count: 16 vs 148 → fewer CTAs, larger tiles beneficial
2. L2 cache: 6MB vs 50MB → l2w needs recalibration
3. Lookback delay: 16 CTAs contend less → shorter delays possible
