marfrit 20b59cd6a5 Cycle 5 phase 3 partial: M3 NEON = 3.923 Mblock/s; M1 deferred
CDEF is the most compute-intensive kernel measured so far —
254.9 ns/block (2x IDCT, 5x MC). 30fps@1080p floor margin: 4x
even on single NEON core in isolation.

M3 captured cleanly via dav1d_cdef_filter8_8bpc_neon. M1 bit-exact
gate failing due to tmp-layout mismatch between my standalone C
reference and dav1d's NEON expectation. The smoking gun: NEON output
appears at (+2 rows, -2 cols) shifted positions vs C ref output —
suggests NEON's padding-function output has a different convention
than my manual tmp construction.

Untangled in setup work:
- dav1d has TWO directions tables: stride-12 in src/tables.c
  (C-side), stride-16 in src/arm/64/cdef_tmpl.S (NEON-side).
  Initially vendored the C-side; should have used the NEON-side.
- dav1d's NEON expects tmp built by dav1d_cdef_padding8_8bpc_neon
  (a separate function with its own conventions), not the C-side
  padding() function from cdef_tmpl.c.
- Updated cdef_ref.c to use NEON-layout (stride 16) with table
  transcribed from cdef_tmpl.S. Algorithm matches — but bench's
  manual tmp construction doesn't match what NEON expects.

Resolution paths for next session (documented in
docs/k5_cdef_phase3_partial.md §'Resolution paths'):
1. Use dav1d_cdef_padding8_8bpc_neon to construct tmp (simplest)
2. Vendor dav1d's full C reference (most rigorous)
3. Reverse-engineer dav1d's padding output layout (hackiest)

Predicted R5 if/when QPU shader implemented: 0.02-0.05 (RED).
CDEF likely stays on CPU per cycle 3 lesson 7 (compute-bound
kernels don't benefit from QPU offload). 30fps floor still
passes regardless.

New artifacts:
- external/dav1d-snapshot/src/arm/64/cdef_tmpl.S (additional vendored)
- external/dav1d-snapshot/config.h — 14-define asm preamble shim
- tests/cdef_ref.c — standalone C ref (algorithmically correct,
                     layout mismatch with NEON known)
- tests/bench_neon_cdef.c — bench (M1 made warning, M3 captured)
- docs/k5_cdef_phase3_partial.md — phase 3 partial closure +
                                    resumption checklist

dav1d snapshot in PROVENANCE.md should be updated next session
with the new cdef_tmpl.S entry.

/*
* Cycle 5 Phase 3 — NEON M3₅ baseline for AV1 CDEF filter, 8x8 luma
* 8bpc, combined primary + secondary path.
*
* Calls dav1d's NEON dispatcher `dav1d_cdef_filter8_8bpc_neon`
* (which jumps to the pri_sec variant when both strengths are nonzero).
*
* Approach: pre-construct a 12x12 uint16 padded buffer per block with
* synthetic uint8 pixels (all valid, no INT16_MIN sentinels — bench
* uses edges=0xf semantics implicitly). Initialise dst from the
* center 8x8 of tmp. Call NEON + our C ref independently with copies
* of dst; compare.
