marfrit 85feba4087 Cycle 4 (LPF wd=8) closure: M1=100%, R=0.34, M4=+4.1%, PASS
Fourth daedalus-fourier kernel — VP9 8-tap inner loop filter wd=8
h_8_8 variant. Width extension of cycle 2's wd=4; completes VP9
inner-edge LPF coverage. Full cycle Phase 1-7 + M4'''' in one
combined go (cycle compressed since incremental from cycle 2).

Phase 5 review explicitly skipped (incremental ~30-line shader
delta from cycle 2 + same geometry + cycle-2 RED-pattern checks
still apply). Flagged in docs/k4_lpf8_phase4_7.md per dev_process.md
"Skipping phases is a deliberate choice that should be flagged."

Phase 6 v1 first-light: M1'''' 100.0000% bit-exact (65536/65536)
first try. Shaderdb shows 231 inst, 4 hardware threads, 0 spills,
27 max-temps, 48 uniforms — compiler at the latency-hiding ceiling.

Performance:

  M3'''' NEON (single-core)  52.382 Medge/s
  M2'''' QPU isolation       17.847 Medge/s
  R''''                      0.341  → ORANGE band
  30fps floor margin         9.2x (isolation), 20.3x (mixed)

M4'''' concurrent matrix:

  NEON 4-core                37.823 Medge/s  <- baseline
  QPU only                   14.867 Medge/s
  MIXED NEON-3 + QPU         39.389 Medge/s  <- +4.1% PASS

Verdict: YELLOW-via-M4'''' PASS. Deploy wd=8 LPF on QPU alongside
cycle 2 wd=4. Combined VP9 inner-edge LPF coverage now complete.

Cross-cycle LPF comparison:

  | | wd=4 (k2) | wd=8 (k4) |
  | M3 NEON     | 48.3      | 52.4      |
  | M2 QPU iso  | 19.6      | 17.8      |
  | R iso       | 0.41      | 0.34      |
  | M4 delta    | +6.9%     | +4.1%     |
  | 30fps mixed | 7.2x      | 20.3x     |
  | Verdict     | GO QPU    | GO QPU    |

NEW finding (Phase 9 lesson): NEON gets faster per edge as filter
width grows (20.7 → 19.1 ns wd=4 → wd=8). The relative QPU loss
grows with width. wd=16 would probably flip negative based on the
trend line.

Deployment recipe with cycle 4:

  IDCT 8x8 (k1)     -> QPU   (R=0.92, +7% mixed)
  LPF wd=4 (k2)     -> QPU   (R=0.41, +7% mixed)
  LPF wd=8 (k4)     -> QPU   (R=0.34, +4% mixed)
  MC 8h (k3)        -> CPU   (R=0.067, -19% mixed)
  Entropy           -> CPU   (structural)

VP9 inner-edge LPF coverage complete. Project continues to higgs
deployment plumbing or further kernels per user direction.
