wip: mc02 v2 shared-tile

bench: H.264 primitive bench now measures both substrates + comparison table
Closes task #166 (re-measure R-bands on post-buffer-pool dispatch path). Now that all H.264 hot-path primitives have QPU shaders and the dispatch overhead has been hammered down (tasks #160 buffer pool, #161 persistent command buffer), bench_h264_primitives no longer measures one column. Two passes — CPU NEON and QPU V3D7 compute — with a side-by-side per-kernel comparison and ratio. Headline result on hertz (Pi 5 V3D 7.1, 30 iters x 5 warmup): kernel CPU ns/op QPU ns/op winner IDCT 4x4 luma 10.79 2.47 QPU 4.36x IDCT 8x8 luma 29.69 9.23 QPU 3.22x Deblock luma_v 17.58 10.21 QPU 1.72x Deblock luma_h 38.41 9.98 QPU 3.85x qpel mc20 (8x8) 28.24 9.66 QPU 2.92x qpel mc02 (8x8) 16.96 20.54 CPU 1.21x qpel mc22 (8x8) 71.58 9.64 QPU 7.43x 1080p worst-case sum (IDCT4 + deblock luma + qpel mc22): CPU NEON only: 5.57 ms QPU only: 1.30 ms (CPU/QPU sum ratio = 4.30x) Reverses PR #10's verdict (which had CPU NEON 4x faster than QPU for IDCT-only) — the buffer-pool + persistent-cmdbuf wins land hard. Only qpel mc02 still shows CPU ahead, marginally (single- axis vertical filter, row-strided memory pattern unfriendly to the WG layout — left as a follow-up for cycle-9-style targeted tuning). Substrate decree (2026-05-23) stays in force as policy — these numbers retroactively justify it. Also tightens test_api_h264's startup recipe print: the stale "(CPU)" / "(CPU, no QPU H shader yet)" / "(CPU, bS=4 set)" labels next to deblock_lh, deblock_cv, deblock_ch and deblock_*_intra are now wrong since PRs #28, #29, #35 (those kernels are on QPU).

 # pkg-config file.  Vulkan goes in Requires.private (consumer's
 # pkg-config call gets it via --static).  pthread + dl are needed
 # by the static archive's runtime helpers.
 #
 # `prefix` is derived from ${pcfiledir} so the .pc is relocatable:
 # pkg-config substitutes ${pcfiledir} with the directory holding the
 # .pc at lookup time, and the relative path from
 # <prefix>/<libdir>/pkgconfig back to <prefix> tells pkg-config the
 # install prefix without baking it in.  This is why
 # `cmake --install build --prefix /foo` produces a .pc that correctly
 # resolves `prefix=/foo` instead of baking whatever CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
 # was at *configure* time (default /usr/local).  DESTDIR-staged
 # installs work too: at runtime pkg-config sees the .pc at its real
 # install path and computes the right prefix.
 #
 # Relative-path depth is computed from CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR (and
 # whatever multiarch tuple GNUInstallDirs adds) so Debian-style
 # `lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/...` resolves with the right number
 # of `..` components.  Layouts where libdir is *not* under prefix are
 # not supported by this scheme; if a packager overrides libdir to an
 # absolute path the relative-path machinery falls back to the absolute
 # value (CMake's file(RELATIVE_PATH) prepends `..` until they meet),
 # which is also relocatable but no longer prefix-agnostic.

 ```sh
 mkdir build && cd build
 cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
 cmake --build .
 # Per-kernel M1+M3 NEON baseline:

 ## Consuming the kernel library
 For integration code (e.g., `daedalus-v4l2` userspace daemon):
 ```c
 #include <daedalus.h>
 daedalus_ctx *ctx = daedalus_ctx_create();
 // has_qpu == 1 if V3D init succeeded; else NEON-only fallback
 // Recipe dispatch: routes to the per-cycle verdict substrate.
 daedalus_recipe_dispatch_vp9_idct8(ctx, dst, stride, coeffs, n_blocks, meta);
 // Or explicit substrate selection for runtime-aware scheduling:
 daedalus_dispatch_vp9_mc_8h(ctx, DAEDALUS_SUBSTRATE_QPU, dst, dst_stride,
                            src, src_stride, n_blocks, meta);
 daedalus_ctx_destroy(ctx);

 # Daedalus architecture backlog
 **Status:** design draft, **not** scheduled. Captured 2026-05-23 after the cycle 9 close, while Pi 5 H.264 deployment is still settling on higgs. The pivot described here is **deferred until a second SoC creates a forcing function** — see "Why deferred" at the bottom.
 This document is forward-looking. It describes the generalized multi-SoC daedalus daemon architecture, but the immediate work block stays "finish Pi 5". Re-read this when:
 - HW decode on noether (Pi 4, the user's interactive workstation) becomes a real ask and rpivid upstream is still unstable. This is the most likely trigger — same SoC class as Pi 5 but weaker V3D 4.x, so the caps-file mechanism plus an extra row's worth of substrate measurements.
 - AV1 playback on boltzmann (RK3588) starts mattering. rkvdec doesn't cover AV1, so the daedalus path becomes the only HW-accelerated option, and Mali Valhall compute substrate decisions need their own caps row.
 - libva-v4l2-request-fourier evolves to need multi-node negotiation (today it picks the first matching V4L2 node; a host with both rkvdec and daedalus-v4l2 nodes wants a preference policy).
 Until then: this is decision context, not a TODO.
 ---
 ## What we have today (2026-05-23)
 The current stack is **Pi 5 specific** by deliberate construction:
 ```
 Firefox / mpv
  └─ libva-fourier (VAAPI)
       └─ libva-v4l2-request-fourier (V4L2 stateless consumer)
            └─ /dev/video0 (daedalus_v4l2 kernel char-dev shim)
                 └─ /dev/daedalus-v4l2 → userspace daemon (Option γ)
                      └─ dlopen libavcodec.so.62 (Kwiboo FFmpeg fork)
                           └─ daedalus-fourier kernels (NEON + V3D opportunistic)
                                ├─ cycle 1: VP9 IDCT 8x8       (V3D QPU)
                                ├─ cycle 2: VP9 LPF wd=4       (V3D QPU)
                                ├─ cycle 3: VP9 MC 8h          (CPU NEON)
                                ├─ cycle 4: VP9 LPF wd=8       (V3D QPU)
                                ├─ cycle 5: AV1 CDEF 8x8       (CPU NEON; QPU opportunistic helper)
                                ├─ cycle 6: H.264 IDCT 4x4     (CPU NEON)
                                ├─ cycle 7: H.264 IDCT 8x8     (CPU NEON)
                                ├─ cycle 8: H.264 luma-v deblk (CPU NEON; QPU opportunistic helper)
                                └─ cycle 9: H.264 luma qpel mc20 (CPU NEON)
 ```
 Two things in this stack **already** look like the generalized architecture:
 1. **`daedalus_recipe_dispatch_*` is already the runtime substrate selector.** Public-API functions in `include/daedalus.h` (cycles 6–9 added the H.264 family on 2026-05-21 through 2026-05-23). Per-kernel substrate decisions live in `daedalus_recipe_substrate_for(daedalus_kernel k)` — currently a hard-coded switch, but a data-driven version is a near-mechanical rewrite.
 2. **libva-v4l2-request-fourier already abstracts over "any V4L2 stateless decoder node".** On RK3588 the same VAAPI driver consumes rkvdec directly with no daedalus daemon in the path; on Pi 5 it consumes the daedalus_v4l2 shim. The cross-SoC seam is **at the V4L2 device level**, which is the right place — it's how the upstream V4L2 stateless API was designed to work.
 So the generalization needed is smaller than it looks. Most of the abstraction surface is already in place; what's missing is **substrate-table data per SoC** and a **second daemon backend** for codec-level pass-through to vendor decoders.
 ---
 ## Problem statement
 The mfritsche fleet has heterogeneous aarch64 hardware decoders:
 | SoC | Host(s) | H.264 | HEVC | VP9 | AV1 | GPU compute |
 |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | BCM2712 (Pi 5) | higgs, hertz, broglie, tesla (LXD on hertz) | none | V3D7 (rpi-hevc-dec — SPS quirks) | none | none | V3D7 (Vulkan compute, queryable) |
 | BCM2711 (Pi 4) | noether (interactive workstation), dcw3, dcw2 | rpivid (out of tree, unstable) | rpivid (out of tree, unstable) | none | none | V3D4 (Vulkan compute, weaker) |
 | RK3588 | boltzmann (32 GB, kernel-dev / MCP hub, 8 W always-on) | rkvdec V4L2 stateless (upstream) | rkvdec V4L2 stateless | rkvdec V4L2 stateless | none (rkvdec lacks AV1) | Mali Valhall (panvk-bifrost-video in dev) + RK NPU |
 | Allwinner H6 | (not in current fleet, but Cedrus exists upstream) | Cedrus V4L2 | Cedrus V4L2 | none | none | Mali Bifrost |
 No single SoC has a complete codec set. RK3588 lacks AV1; Pi 5 lacks H.264 + VP9 + AV1; Pi 4 has rpivid (out-of-tree, kernel-version-fragile); Allwinner Cedrus is H.264/HEVC only.
 A note on the Pi 5 row: hertz and tesla share hardware (tesla is an LXD container hosted on hertz) but are operationally distinct — tesla is the distcc/MCP worker, hertz is the LXD host with all the cron automations and the 17-tool lmcp hub. From a daedalus deployment perspective they count as **one** Pi 5 substrate; from a workflow perspective they're separate boxes.
 A note on noether: it's the user's interactive workstation (Pi 4, BCM2711). Firefox + mpv run here. Any "I want HW decode on my main box" pressure lands first on this host, which puts Pi 4 (V3D4 + maybe-rpivid) closer to the front of the queue than the original draft of this document suggested.
 The current daedalus model — "kernel substitution + libavcodec front end" — is the right answer for **Pi 5 specifically**, where no usable kernel V4L2 stateless decoder exists for the codecs we care about, and a Vulkan-capable GPU (V3D7) is available to help on a few kernels.
 The model is **not** the right answer for SoCs that already have working V4L2 stateless decoders for the requested codec — those should be passed through, not re-implemented through libavcodec + kernel substitution.
 ---
 ## The conceptual gap
 A naïve "shaders per SoC" generalization runs into the fact that **hardware decoders are not made of shaders**. rkvdec on RK3588, Hantro G1/G2 on Allwinner, VPU8 on Amlogic, even the rpi-hevc-dec block on Pi 5 — these are **bitstream-in, NV12-out** monoliths that do not expose intermediate kernel slots. You cannot route "their IDCT" through one substrate and "their MC" through another; they are opaque pipelines.
 This forces a **two-backend daemon**:
 - **Substrate-composed backend.** What we have today. Used when no hardware decoder for the requested codec exists on this SoC. Front end is libavcodec (entropy decode, slice headers); kernel hot paths run through `daedalus_recipe_dispatch_*` with substrate chosen per (SoC × kernel).
 - **Pass-through backend.** Used when a hardware decoder for the requested codec exists. Daemon (or, more realistically, the kernel V4L2 shim itself) forwards the bitstream to the vendor V4L2 stateless node and returns the decoded frame. No kernel substitution. Effectively a no-op from the daemon's perspective — and in fact, **libva-v4l2-request-fourier can already talk to the vendor node directly** without going through the daedalus daemon at all.
 The routing decision is **per (SoC × codec)**:
 | | Pi 5 | Pi 4 | RK3588 | Allwinner H6 |
 |---|---|---|---|---|
 | H.264 | substrate-composed (NEON+QPU) | substrate-composed (NEON only — V3D4 too weak) **or** rpivid pass-through if stable | rkvdec pass-through | Cedrus pass-through |
 | HEVC | rpi-hevc-dec pass-through (when SPS quirks fixed) **or** substrate-composed | rpivid pass-through | rkvdec pass-through | Cedrus pass-through |
 | VP9 | substrate-composed | substrate-composed | rkvdec pass-through | substrate-composed |
 | AV1 | substrate-composed | substrate-composed (slow) | substrate-composed | substrate-composed |
 Note: on RK3588 + every codec rkvdec supports, the **daedalus daemon is bypassed entirely** — libva talks to rkvdec directly. The daemon is only ever in the path on SoCs where at least one codec needs substrate-composition.

 Daemon startup probe:
 1. Read `/proc/device-tree/compatible` (or `/sys/firmware/devicetree/.../compatible`); fall back to DMI on x86 (won't apply in practice — fleet is aarch64-only).
 2. Match against caps files; load the matching `<soc>.toml`.
 3. Enumerate `/dev/video*` and `/dev/media*`; classify each as {daedalus-shim, vendor-stateless, vendor-stateful, unknown}.
 4. For each codec the caps file declares as "pass-through-preferred": load the matching `plugins/<vendor>_passthrough.so`. On dlopen failure, fall back to substrate-composed.
 5. Build per-codec routing table; advertise the union through V4L2 to libva.
 **Caps file shape** (illustrative — final TOML keys TBD):
 ```toml
 # bcm2712.toml — Pi 5, V3D7 GPU compute available; no codec HW decoders

 ```
 Pass-through plugins are *thin* — they translate the daedalus daemon's wire protocol to the vendor's V4L2 stateless ioctls (which they often already are; the plugin is mostly a fd-forward and buffer-copy). The substrate-composed backend stays as it is today.
 ---
 ## Where it gets hard
 1. **Caps-file authorship.** Each new SoC needs measurement-driven entries (M3 thresholds, R-band verdicts) — that's the entire daedalus-fourier cycle 1–9 dance, done per SoC. Pi 5 took ~3 weeks. Pi 4 V3D4 is probably 1–2 weeks (same kernels, weaker GPU; mostly verifying CPU verdicts hold). RK3588 is mostly pass-through, so caps work is light there.
 2. **Probing without hard-coded fragility.** `/proc/device-tree/compatible` strings are not stable identifiers (Raspberry Pi has changed compatible across kernel versions). Caps files should match on multiple compatible strings + Vulkan device-name regex + V4L2 driver-name (`v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -D`), majority-voting style.
 3. **Error-fallback paths.** Pass-through plugin dlopen failure → fall back to substrate-composed. Substrate kernel returns error → fall back to libavcodec stock NEON. Each fallback layer adds error-handling code and increases test surface.
 4. **Stateful vs stateless decoders.** Some vendors expose stateful V4L2 (Hantro H.264 on some chips); others expose stateless. The daedalus daemon's wire protocol is shaped around stateless. Pass-through plugins for stateful decoders need a state-machine adapter, not just an fd forward.
 5. **CI matrix explosion.** Per-SoC build × per-codec smoke × per-plugin presence. Need to decide which combinations are gated CI vs nightly.
 6. **The "libva picks the right node" problem.** Today libva-v4l2-request-fourier picks the first matching V4L2 node. On a host with both rkvdec **and** daedalus-v4l2 present (unlikely but possible — e.g. an RK3588 host with daedalus-v4l2 installed for testing), how does it pick? Probably: prefer vendor stateless over daedalus shim, configurable via env. This logic belongs in libva-v4l2-request-fourier, not the daemon.
 ---
 ## Why deferred (and the forcing function)
 **Today's calculus:**
 - Pi 5 (higgs + hertz + broglie + tesla) is **four hosts**, but **one SoC**. Adding the fifth Pi 5 host wouldn't pressure-test the architecture; they all share BCM2712 caps so the substrate decisions are identical across the row.
 - boltzmann (RK3588) is the only non-Pi-5 always-on host in the fleet, and it uses rkvdec directly through libva-v4l2-request-fourier — daedalus daemon is **not in the path** for any RK3588 codec on it. The "RK3588 support" the architecture above proposes is mostly a no-op routing decision plus an AV1 fallback that doesn't yet measure on Mali. No forcing pressure from boltzmann today.
 - noether (Pi 4, this user's interactive workstation) and dcw3/dcw2 (also Pi 4) are the real second-SoC candidates. The gate is rpivid upstream stability: if it lands cleanly, Pi 4 takes the pass-through path with zero kernel substitution work. If it stays out-of-tree-fragile, **then** the substrate-composed path with V3D4 + NEON becomes the right backend for Pi 4, and we need the per-SoC caps mechanism to handle V3D4's weaker compute.
 - The recipe layer in daedalus-fourier already scales cleanly. Adding more substrates is incremental, not architectural.
 **The forcing function that flips this from "deferred" to "do it":**
 - **noether-as-Firefox-host** — the user starts wanting HW decode on their main workstation and rpivid is still not stable upstream. Implies a Pi 4 substrate-composed path, which means at minimum a second caps file and the loader for it. At that point, building the full pluggable scaffold becomes proportionate. This is the most likely trigger; noether is already a daily-driver Pi 4.
 - **boltzmann-as-AV1-decoder** — RK3588 has no AV1 HW decoder, and the user wants AV1 playback there (currently CPU-only). Triggers a cycle-5–equivalent measurement campaign on Mali Valhall to see whether `daedalus_recipe_dispatch_cdef_8x8` (or follow-on AV1 kernels) is worth running on Mali compute. If yes, we need an RK3588 caps file that overrides only the AV1 row while leaving H.264/HEVC/VP9 on rkvdec pass-through.
 - **Or:** a third-party Pi 5 user needs to swap shaders for V3D firmware experiments without rebuilding the daemon — at that point dynamic shader loading + caps overrides become a feature ask.
 Until one of those happens: keep daedalus daemon Pi 5 specific. Push cross-SoC abstraction *up* to libva-v4l2-request-fourier (which already does most of it) rather than *down* into the daemon.
 ---
 ## Open questions
 1. **Where do caps files live?** `/usr/lib/daedalus/caps/` (package-provided) vs `/etc/daedalus/caps/` (admin override) vs both with merge precedence. Final call deferred.
 2. **Does the daemon even need plugins?** A simpler design: daemon does substrate-composed only; pass-through is handled by libva-v4l2-request-fourier preferring the vendor node when present. Removes the entire plugin layer and pushes the codec-routing decision to the consumer. Probably the right call — re-evaluate when designing.
 3. **Per-process vs per-system substrate choice.** Today libavcodec uses `daedalus_ctx_create_no_qpu()` (no Vulkan init in arbitrary host processes). If the daemon centralizes substrate decisions, the per-process compromise can be relaxed — but at the cost of more daemon ↔ libavcodec round-trips per kernel. Cost/benefit unclear without measurement.
 4. **AV1 on Mali compute.** RK3588 has no AV1 HW decoder. Mali Valhall has compute. Is `daedalus_recipe_dispatch_cdef_8x8` worth running on Mali instead of NEON? Unknown — needs a cycle 5–equivalent measurement campaign on RK3588 before any RK3588-specific caps entry can be authored.
 5. **What's the deliverable for the architecture revisit?** Probably a fresh repo (`daedalus-platform/` ?) that wraps daedalus-fourier + daedalus-v4l2 + caps files + plugins. Or fold everything into daedalus-v4l2 since the daemon already lives there. Final call deferred until the forcing function is concrete.

 ## Decision log
 | Date | Decision | Reason |
 |---|---|---|
 | 2026-05-23 | **Defer generalization.** Finish Pi 5 substitution arc (cycle 9 PR #90 pending), then pivot to bug-fix backlog (daemon SEGV #145, D-state #146) before architecture work. | Architecture pivot is a multi-week scope; Pi 5 path is the only user-visible motivator today; deferring loses nothing because the recipe layer already abstracts kernels and libva-v4l2-request-fourier already abstracts V4L2 nodes. |
 | 2026-05-23 | **Document the design now, even though it's deferred.** | Captures the conceptual gap (shaders ≠ hardware decoders) and the two-backend conclusion while the analysis is fresh; saves re-litigating in 3–6 months. |
 | 2026-05-23 | **Correct fleet hardware mapping.** Original draft had hertz/tesla under RK3588 and omitted boltzmann + noether entirely. Verified via `/proc/device-tree/compatible`: hertz + tesla are Pi 5 (BCM2712), noether is Pi 4 (BCM2711), boltzmann is the only RK3588 in the fleet. Adjusted "Why deferred" / forcing-function reasoning accordingly — Pi 5 row is now 4 hosts (one SoC), noether is the realistic Pi 4 trigger, boltzmann is the realistic RK3588 trigger via AV1. | Original draft was speculative on host-to-SoC mapping; verified state changes which forcing functions are credible. |

 # Issue 001 — VP9 LPF wd=16 cycle (prediction validation)
 **Status**: open, not blocking
 **Type**: kernel-cycle (cycle 5 candidate)
 **Predicted verdict**: RED (M4 likely negative, per cycle 4 lesson 4)
 **Priority**: low (incremental; trend prediction)
 **Filed**: 2026-05-18
 ## Background
 Cycle 4 (LPF wd=8) closed PASS with M4 delta +4.1 % vs cycle 2 wd=4's
 +6.9 %. The downward trend prompted Phase 9 lesson: "wd=16 would
 probably show further R degradation; M4 may flip negative based on
 the trend line." See `docs/k4_lpf8_phase4_7.md §"Phase 9 lessons"`.
 This issue tracks the experiment to validate (or invalidate) that
 prediction.
 ## What to do
 Cycle 5 LPF wd=16, mirroring cycle 4's compact structure:
 1. **Phase 3**: build `tests/bench_neon_lpf16.c` modelled on
   `bench_neon_lpf8.c`. NEON symbol: `ff_vp9_loop_filter_h_16_16_neon`
   (already in vendored `vp9lpf_neon.S`). Capture M3.
 2. **Phase 4-7**: write `src/v3d_lpf_h_16_16.comp` extending the
   wd=8 kernel with the wd=16 outer-flat path (`flat8out` test, 14
   writes per row when both flat8out and flat8in pass). New
   contract: `dst_stride_u8 ≥ 14` (vs cycle 4's ≥ 6) because the
   flat8out path writes at `base-7..base+6` (14 contiguous bytes).
 3. **Phase 5 review**: mandatory — wd=16 is not as incremental as
   wd=8 (much larger conditional logic, new contract bound).
 4. **Phase 7**: measure M2, R; if M4 negative as predicted, document
   trend confirmation and close kernel as "CPU-only" in deployment
   recipe.
 ## Expected outcome (per prediction)
 | Quantity | Predicted |
 |---|---|
 | M1 bit-exact | 100 % (same pattern as cycles 2/4) |
 | M3 NEON | ~55 Medge/s (slightly faster than wd=8) |
 | M2 QPU isolation | ~12-15 Medge/s |
 | R isolation | 0.22-0.27 (ORANGE, downward) |
 | M4 mixed vs NEON-4 | -2 % to +1 % (borderline; likely negative) |
 | 30fps margin | still 5×+ (user-facing PASS regardless) |
 ## Acceptance criteria (issue closed when)
 - Cycle 5 phases 1-7 complete, committed
 - `docs/k5_lpf16_phase*.md` produced
 - Phase 7 verdict documented, deployment recipe updated either way
 - Phase 9 lesson 4 trend prediction validated or refuted
 ## Why deferred (not done in current session)
 The session goal was "continue until user intervention necessary."
 User directed: file as issue, progress to cycle 5 CDEF instead.
 The trend prediction is interesting but the project's deployment
 recipe is already locked through cycle 4; cycle 5 wd=16 result
 would update at most one row of the recipe table.

 # Issue 002 — VP9 LPF vertical variants (v_4_8 / v_8_8)
 **Status**: open, not blocking
 **Type**: kernel-cycle (cycle 5/6 candidate)
 **Predicted verdict**: similar to horizontal cousins (k2/k4 = YELLOW PASS)
 **Priority**: low (different memory pattern; completeness)
 **Filed**: 2026-05-18
 ## Background
 Cycles 2 and 4 implemented the **horizontal-direction** LPF inner
 filters (`h_4_8`, `h_8_8`). The corresponding **vertical-direction**
 filters (`v_4_8`, `v_8_8`) have the same arithmetic but a different
 memory access pattern: column-strided reads of 8 pixels (one per row)
 vs row-strided reads of 8 pixels (one per column).
 Concretely from `vp9dsp_template.c`:
 - `h_*_*_neon`: stridea=stride, strideb=1 (advance rows, neighborhood in cols)
 - `v_*_*_neon`: stridea=1, strideb=stride (advance cols, neighborhood in rows)
 The vertical variant tests whether the QPU's "8 lanes per row,
 contiguous read" assumption (cycles 2/4 wd=4/wd=8) generalises to
 the strided memory pattern. The TMU's coalescing behaviour may
 differ significantly when 8 lanes need to load from 8 different
 rows of the same column (cache-line-miss-y) vs 8 different cols of
 the same row (sequential).
 ## What to do
 Cycle 5 or 6 (after CDEF), one cycle per variant:
 1. **v_4_8** — vertical 4-tap inner, 8-pixel edge (vertical edge,
   filter spans rows above/below).
 2. Optional **v_8_8** — vertical 8-tap inner.
 Each cycle: same shape as cycle 2/4 but
 - C reference: same `loop_filter` function, instantiated via
  `lf_8_fn(v, 4, 1, stride)` (note: stridea + strideb swapped).
 - NEON: `ff_vp9_loop_filter_v_4_8_neon` (in vendored `vp9lpf_neon.S`).
 - QPU geometry: same 32-edges/WG, but per-edge memory access shape
  changes — lanes now span 8 rows (strided by stride) of one column.
 ## Key question to answer
 **Does the QPU's mixed-mode +6.9 % win (cycle 2 wd=4 horizontal)
 hold for the vertical variant?** The TMU latency / cache behaviour
 on column-strided reads is the main unknown. If positive: deployment
 recipe gains v variants symmetrically. If negative: deployment
 recipe needs to split by orientation (h on QPU, v on CPU).
 ## Expected outcome
 | Quantity | Predicted |
 |---|---|
 | M1 bit-exact | 100 % |
 | M3 NEON | similar to h (NEON handles both orientations well) |
 | M2 QPU isolation | possibly LOWER than h variant (TMU column reads less coalesced) |
 | R isolation | 0.30-0.45 (ORANGE) |
 | M4 mixed | UNKNOWN — this is the load-bearing experiment |
 ## Acceptance criteria
 - v_4_8 cycle 1-7 complete with M4 measurement
 - Decision: "v variants → QPU same as h" OR "v variants → CPU only"
 - Deployment recipe updated
 - Optional: v_8_8 follow-on cycle if v_4_8 was positive
 ## Why deferred
 - Out of cycle 4's compressed scope (cycle 4 was a focused
  wd=4 → wd=8 extension)
 - User-stated cycle 5 direction was CDEF (AV1 coverage), not VP9
  variant completeness

 # Issue 003 — Mixed-kernel M4 bench (closes cycle 3/5 deployment verdict)
 **Status**: **CLOSED 2026-05-18** (partial — real QPU CDEF still deferred to cycle 5 Phase 6, but enough data to update deployment recipe)
 **Type**: measurement gap; methodology fix
 **Verdict shift**: cycle 3 MC verdict stands (CPU only); cycle 5 CDEF deserves "opportunistic helper" caveat; cycle 1+2+4 deployment recipe **validated by V4 result**.
 **Filed**: 2026-05-18
 **Bench**: `tests/bench_concurrent_mixed.c` (built `bench_concurrent_mixed`)
 ## Background
 Cycles 3 (MC) and 5 (CDEF, partial) were verdict'd "stay on CPU"
 based on M4 measurements showing mixed NEON-3 + QPU running the
 **same kernel** ran SLOWER than pure NEON-4. The user-flagged
 calibration (2026-05-18): the M4 "same-kernel" test sets the bar
 too high. A "different-kernel" test would more accurately reflect
 deployment.
 ## Measurement results (hertz, 2026-05-18)
 `bench_concurrent_mixed` matrix, 6-second windows, NEON-3 pinned
 to cores 0-2, QPU/fallback worker on core 3:
 | # | CPU side                  | QPU side                       | CPU agg     | QPU contrib  |
 |---|---------------------------|--------------------------------|-------------|--------------|
 |V1 | MC NEON-3                 | CDEF (NEON fallback, core 3)   | 24.49 Mblock/s | 1.75 Mblock/s CDEF |
 |V2 | LPF4 NEON-3               | CDEF (NEON fallback, core 3)   | 27.28 Medge/s  | 1.70 Mblock/s CDEF |
 |V3 | MC NEON-3 (**control**)   | MC (real QPU dispatch)         | 22.64 Mblock/s | 0.39 Mblock/s MC   |
 |V4 | MC NEON-3                 | LPF4 (real QPU dispatch)       | 27.87 Mblock/s | 12.74 Medge/s LPF4 |
 |V5 | LPF4 NEON-3               | MC (real QPU dispatch)         | 30.82 Medge/s  | 0.37 Mblock/s MC   |
 The "QPU side" cell records the substrate actually used.
 **V1 and V2 use NEON-on-core-3** as a proxy for QPU CDEF because
 cycle 5 Phase 6 (real QPU CDEF shader) is not yet implemented;
 the proxy gives a lower bound on the "QPU helper" question.
 ## Cross-variant deltas
 **Effect on CPU MC throughput when the QPU runs a different kernel:**
 | QPU kernel | CPU MC agg | delta vs V3 | per-core delta |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | MC (V3, same-kernel) | 22.64 Mblock/s | — | baseline |
 | CDEF NEON fallback (V1) | 24.49 Mblock/s | +8.2 % | +0.6 Mblock/s/core |
 | LPF4 real QPU (V4) | 27.87 Mblock/s | **+23.1 %** | +1.7 Mblock/s/core |
 Switching the QPU off MC (the same kernel) onto LPF4 (a different
 bandwidth-bound kernel) gave the CPU MC side a **23 % per-core
 throughput uplift** — because the QPU stopped contending for the
 shared memory channel with the same access pattern.
 ## Headline finding — V4 is the validated deployment shape
 **V4 = NEON-3 doing MC + QPU doing LPF4** is precisely the
 daedalus-fourier deployment recipe (CPU runs cycle 3 MC; QPU runs
 cycle 2 LPF4 via the GREEN-band offload). The measurement:
 - CPU MC: 27.87 Mblock/s (per-core 8.3-10.0)
 - QPU LPF4: 12.74 Medge/s (65 % of QPU LPF4 isolation throughput,
  19.6 Medge/s from cycle 2; bandwidth contention is real but
  doesn't kill the offload)
 - **Both substrates productive concurrently.**
 This is the experiment that should have run *first*; the
 same-kernel M4 was the wrong comparison. The user was right.
 ## V3 vs V4 — why same-kernel M4 was pessimistic
 V3 (cycle 3 same-kernel rerun in this bench): 22.64 CPU MC + 0.39
 QPU MC = 23.03 total Mblock/s. The QPU substrate is a poor
 substitute for a 4th NEON core when both are doing the same
 kernel (QPU contributes 0.39 vs ~9.0 a 4th NEON core would add).
 V4 (different-kernel deployment): 27.87 CPU MC + 12.74 QPU LPF4.
 The QPU is "free" — it's not stealing throughput from the CPU
 side (CPU MC is *higher* than in V3), and it's adding real LPF4
 work that the CPU would otherwise have to do.
 **Conclusion**: the same-kernel M4 in cycles 1-5 was a
 worst-case contention bound. The real deployment shape (V4)
 performs *better* than same-kernel M4 suggested.
 ## V1, V2 — CDEF as opportunistic helper
 V1/V2 use NEON-on-core-3 (not real QPU) as a proxy because cycle
 5 Phase 6 isn't built. The proxy results:
 - V1: NEON-core-3 CDEF adds **1.75 Mblock/s** while NEON-3 MC
  delivers 24.49 Mblock/s (slightly *higher* than V3 control's
  22.64, because CDEF is compute-bound so it contends little on
  the memory bus).
 - V2: NEON-core-3 CDEF adds **1.70 Mblock/s** while NEON-3 LPF4
  delivers 27.28 Medge/s (close to NEON-4 LPF4 isolation 29.47).
 So **the 4th core CAN run CDEF concurrently** without crushing
 the other 3 cores' MC or LPF work. Whether the actual *QPU*
 (after cycle 5 Phase 6 lands) does likewise is unknown:
 - QPU CDEF predicted R₅ = 0.02-0.05 → at best 0.05 × 3.9
  ≈ 0.2 Mblock/s of CDEF helper. That's an order of magnitude
  *below* the NEON-fallback proxy.
 - But the QPU substrate would contend on the QPU side of the
  memory hierarchy; the CPU MC side may be *less* affected than
  V1's 24.49 (which had NEON contention).
 The conservative read: **CDEF stays on CPU as primary path; QPU
 CDEF dispatch path should exist in the V4L2 wrapper but only used
 when no IDCT/LPF queue is pending**. Re-measure after cycle 5
 Phase 6 closes.
 ## V5 — LPF on CPU side with QPU MC
 V5 inverts V4: NEON-3 does LPF4, QPU does MC. CPU LPF agg =
 30.82 Medge/s (essentially NEON-4 isolation), QPU MC adds 0.37
 Mblock/s. This is the **wrong deployment** — QPU has no comparative
 advantage for MC, and the LPF kernel that *should* go to QPU
 stays on CPU. Confirms that cycle 2 LPF belongs on QPU, not the
 other way around.
 ## Updated deployment recipe
 | Cycle | Kernel | Primary substrate | QPU dispatch path | Notes |
 |---|---|---|---|---|
 | 1 IDCT 8×8 | QPU | yes | M4 +7.2 % validated |
 | 2 LPF wd=4 | QPU | yes | M4 +6.9 % validated; **V4 confirms under MC contention** |
 | 3 MC 8h    | **CPU** | optional / unused | QPU MC contributes 0.39 Mblock/s under any contention scenario — keep dispatch path but don't enqueue |
 | 4 LPF wd=8 | QPU | yes | M4 +4.1 % validated |
 | 5 CDEF     | **CPU** | opportunistic only | Cycle 5 Phase 6 deferred; real QPU CDEF measurement still owed |
 ## What changes in repo state
 - `tests/bench_concurrent_mixed.c` lands (~470 LOC).
 - `CMakeLists.txt` builds `bench_concurrent_mixed` target with all
  the FFmpeg + dav1d NEON sources.
 - `docs/k3_mc_phase7.md` § "M4 methodology caveat" updated with V3
  vs V4 deltas.
 - `docs/k5_cdef_phase3_partial.md` § "Deployment recommendation"
  updated with V1/V2 fallback-proxy results.
 - Memory `feedback_m4_same_kernel_worst_case.md` annotated with
  closing numbers.
 ## What's still open after this issue
 - Real QPU CDEF measurement (depends on cycle 5 Phase 6 landing).
 - Variant D (mixed LPF+MC alternating CPU work) skipped — the V1
  vs V4 contrast already answers the deployment question.
 - Phase 8 V4L2 wrapper should follow the recipe table above:
  dispatch paths for ALL kernels exist; the scheduler chooses
  per-kernel based on the validated recipe.

 # Cycle 2, Phase 1 — Loop filter kernel goal
 Cycle 1 (8×8 IDCT) closed with `phase7_M4.md` verdict GO. Per
 Phase 1 §"Decision rules", the next-kernel cycle is authorised.
 This doc is compact; it references cycle-1 phase docs for the
 substrate framework rather than re-deriving it.
 ## Why deblocking, why this variant
 Three candidates were on the table from `phase0.md §5`:
 | candidate | covers | shape | why pick / skip |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | **VP9 loop filter (4-tap inner)** | **VP9 + AV1** (similar) | boundary streaming | **Picked.** Different memory access from IDCT → tests whether QPU win generalises beyond compute-bound small transforms |
 | AV1 CDEF | AV1 only | per-superblock, 8-px halo | AV1-only is narrower; can come later |
 | MC interpolation | VP9 + AV1 | convolution, multiply-heavy | Pure-multiply workload — V3D's SMUL24 + no INT8 MAC may bite harder than for IDCT; defer until we have more substrate confidence |
 The specific variant: **VP9 4-tap inner-edge horizontal loop
 filter, 8-pixel edge.** libavcodec symbol
 `ff_vp9_loop_filter_h_4_8_neon` from
 `libavcodec/aarch64/vp9lpf_neon.S` (already vendored in
 `external/ffmpeg-snapshot/` at the FFmpeg n7.1.3 pin — verify in
 Phase 2). Inner-edge means we *assume* the filter strength
 parameters have been pre-computed by the caller (skipping the
 per-edge strength-decision tree, which is the codec's contextual
 work, not the filter itself).
 ## Measurable success criteria
 Reusing `phase1.md §"Measurable success criteria"` structure
 with cycle-2 numbering:
 | ID | Measurement | Gate |
 |---|---|---|
 | **M1''** | Bit-exact match rate vs libavcodec C reference, ≥10 000 random edges | 100.000 % |
 | **M2''** | QPU throughput in Medge/s (millions of edges processed per second) | recorded |
 | **M3''** | NEON `ff_vp9_loop_filter_h_4_8_neon` throughput on same hertz, single-core, time-based | recorded |
 | **M4''** | Concurrent NEON-3 + QPU vs pure NEON-4, both running deblocking | recorded |
 Derived: **R'' = M2'' / M3''**.
 ## Decision rules (publish before measure)
 Same R bands as cycle 1 — the substrate hasn't changed:
 | R'' | Verdict | Next |
 |---|---|---|
 | ≥ 1.0 | QPU beats NEON in isolation | Phase 9 → Phase 1 of kernel 3 |
 | 0.5 ≤ R'' < 1.0 | YELLOW: M4'' gate decides | Run M4''; if mixed > pure-CPU → continue |
 | 0.1 ≤ R'' < 0.5 | ORANGE: M4'' may still rescue if QPU adds *anything* on top of saturated CPU (per cycle-1 F1+F2 findings) | Run M4'' anyway given M4 surprised |
 | < 0.1 | RED: structural | Phase 9 close, deblocking unsuitable for QPU |
 **Cycle-1 calibration adjustment:** the orange band is no longer
 auto-close. Cycle 1 M4 showed mixed > pure-CPU even at R = 0.92;
 similar bandwidth-contention dynamics may hold at lower R if the
 QPU's memory channel stays underutilised by the CPU. Run M4'' as
 the deciding measurement regardless of M2''.
 ## Cycle-1 lessons carried in (compressed)
 From `phase7.md` + `phase7_M4.md`:
 1. **The single biggest perf lever was workgroup-size scaling**
   (64 → 256 invocations gave 2× throughput from latency hiding).
   For cycle 2: jump straight to max WG size where shared-mem
   fits, skip the small-WG exploration of cycle 1.
 2. **`V3D_DEBUG=shaderdb` is load-bearing diagnostic.** Read
   instruction count / threads / max-temps / spills:fills after
   first compile. Multiply that by lane occupancy to predict
   per-block cycle cost.
 3. **Chained-ternary "spill killer" optimisation was a bust** —
   v3d_compiler had already coalesced. Don't pre-emptively
   restructure for spills; let shaderdb tell you first.
 4. **Pi 5 LPDDR4x bandwidth is the realistic ceiling.** Per-core
   NEON delivers 12.6 Mblock/s on cold-cache 1080p IDCT but only
   1.77 Mblock/s when 4 cores compete. The QPU lives in an
   underutilised channel; the marginal contribution counts.
 5. **uint8_t SSBO with `storageBuffer8BitAccess`** is the
   race-free dst write pattern (cycle-1 phase-5 finding 5).
   Same applies to loop-filter output pixels.
 6. **Barrier-safe oob flag pattern** (cycle-1 phase-5 finding 7):
   never early-return before `barrier()`. Loop filter doesn't
   need a barrier within the kernel (filter is straight pass) so
   this may not bite; still good to keep in mind.
 ## What cycle-2 Phase 1 does *not* lock
 - Vulkan-compute vs direct-DRM dispatch path. Cycle 1 picked
  Vulkan; loop filter has the same justification (debuggability,
  spirv-toolchain reuse).
 - WG geometry (number of edges per WG). Phase 4 picks based on
  shared-mem and SIMD-width arithmetic.
 - Vertical vs horizontal variant — Phase 1 picks horizontal
  arbitrarily; Phase 4/7 may revisit if there's a perf reason.
 ## Phase 2 → Phase 3 hand-off
 Phase 2 inventory must produce:
 - Verbatim quote of the C reference for `loop_filter_h_4_8`
  (will be in `external/ffmpeg-snapshot/libavcodec/vp9dsp_template.c`
  or `vp9lpf_template.c` — Phase 2 finds it).
 - The NEON symbol signature (likely `void(uint8_t *dst, ptrdiff_t
  stride, int E, int I, int H)` or similar).
 - VP9 spec §8.8.1 (loop filter process) — at minimum which
  conditions select the 4-tap inner filter.
 - Whether the inner `loop_filter` function is exposed in the
  vendored snapshot or needs additional .c files vendoring.
 Phase 3 will then build `tests/bench_neon_lpf.c` and capture M3''.

 ---
 # Cycle 2, Phase 2 — Loop filter situation analysis
 ## 1. Reference implementations
 ### 1.1 C reference (bit-exact gate)
 - **Source**: `external/ffmpeg-snapshot/libavcodec/vp9dsp_template.c:1780-1898`
  (already vendored; no additional fetch needed).
 - **Function entry point**: `loop_filter_h_4_8_c` — generated by the macro
  `lf_8_fn(h, 4, stride, 1)` at line 1892 + `lf_8_fns(4)` at 1900.
 - **Signature**:
  ```c
  void loop_filter_h_4_8_c(uint8_t *dst, ptrdiff_t stride,
                           int E, int I, int H);
  ```
 - **Spec basis**: VP9 specification §8.8.1 (Loop filter process).
 - **Algorithm (4-tap inner, the simplest path)**:
  1. For each of 8 rows along the edge (`i = 0..7, dst += stride`):
     1. Read 8 pixels straddling the edge: `p3, p2, p1, p0 | q0, q1, q2, q3`
        (4 each side at strideb=1 spacing).
     2. Compute `fm` (filter mask) — gating; if false, skip this row.
     3. Compute `hev` (high edge variance) test from `(p1 - p0)` and `(q1 - q0)`.
     4. If hev: write 2 pixels (`p0, q0`) with clipping.
        If !hev: write 4 pixels (`p1, p0, q0, q1`) with clipping.
 - All arithmetic is signed `int`; clipping via `av_clip_pixel` (8-bit → [0, 255]).
 - Filter is **conditional per row**: `fm` may skip; `hev` selects between
  2-pixel and 4-pixel updates. This is a *divergence-friendly* shape for
  SIMD only if the divergence is rare; on real bitstreams it's frequent.
 ### 1.2 NEON reference (M3'' baseline)
 - **Source**: `external/ffmpeg-snapshot/libavcodec/aarch64/vp9lpf_neon.S`
  (vendored 2026-05-18; SHA-256
  `384e49e7a6e838d9e38aedc00838ed4aebfa6c5bdb343ecaf23ef639bc10fbb7`).
 - **Symbol**: `ff_vp9_loop_filter_h_4_8_neon`
 - **Signature** (same as C):
  ```
  void ff_vp9_loop_filter_h_4_8_neon(uint8_t *dst, ptrdiff_t stride,
                                     int E, int I, int H);
  ```
  Registers: `x0=dst, x1=stride, w2=E, w3=I, w4=H`.
 - **Dependencies** (all already vendored):
  - `libavutil/aarch64/asm.S` — `function`/`endfunc`/`movrel` macros
  - `libavcodec/aarch64/neon.S` — `transpose_8x8B` / `transpose_4x8B`
 - **Size**: ~40-60 instructions per export (after `.macro loop_filter` expansion).
  Significantly simpler than the IDCT 8×8 (~270 inst, butterflies).
 - **License**: LGPL-2.1-or-later (Google 2016, same as vp9itxfm_neon.S).
 The vendored snapshot now covers cycle 1 + cycle 2 references with the
 same FFmpeg n7.1.3 pin.
 ## 2. Workload model
 Each call to `ff_vp9_loop_filter_h_4_8_neon` processes **one
 8-pixel-tall edge** = 8 rows × 8 pixel-positions = 64 pixels touched
 (but only a subset written depending on `fm`/`hev`).
 For a 1920×1080 luma plane with VP9's 8×8-min-block partitioning, the
 worst-case edge count is approximately:
 - Vertical edges: (1920/8 - 1) × (1080/8) blocks-worth = 239 × 135 = 32 265 edges
 - Horizontal edges: similarly ~32 265 edges
 - Total per frame: ~64 530 edges
 Real bitstreams have fewer edges (larger blocks merge edges away).
 Phase 4/7 may model a realistic edge count from a sample stream;
 for Phase 1 we measure raw edges/sec.
 **Memory access shape**: per-edge, read 8 neighborhoods of 8 pixels
 each = 512 bits worst case (8×8 = 64 bytes). Write 2-4 pixels per row
 × 8 rows = 16-32 bytes. Per-edge read-modify-write footprint is
 ~80-100 bytes. Per-frame memory traffic (worst case all edges
 processed) ≈ 64 530 × 96 B ≈ 6.2 MB read + 64 530 × 32 B ≈ 2.1 MB
 written = ~8.3 MB/frame, *similar to IDCT's 8 MB/frame*. Bandwidth
 prediction transfers.
 ## 3. Per-edge workload diversity (vs IDCT)
 | | IDCT 8×8 | LPF h_4_8 |
 |---|---|---|
 | Per-block math | Heavy: 30 ops × 2 passes per block | Light: ~10-20 ops per row × 8 rows = 80-160 ops per edge |
 | Per-block memory | 256B in (coeffs) + 64B in (pred) + 64B out | 64B in + 16-32B out per edge |
 | Parallelism | Fully data-parallel, no conditionals | Per-row conditionals (`fm`, `hev`) cause divergence |
 | Compute / memory | High | Low (memory-bound) |
 | Predicted v3d fit | "good" — fits the SMUL24 + Q14 shape | "marginal" — divergence cost, lighter compute |
 The LPF kernel is **deliberately a different workload class** so we
 test whether v3d wins generalise.
 ## 4. Constraints carried from cycle 1
 All cycle-1 V3D 7.1 device limits (Phase 0 §2) apply unchanged.
 Specifically:
 - C2 shared mem ≤ 16 KiB — LPF needs even less than IDCT (no
  intermediate transposed scratch)
 - C3 ≤ 8 SSBO bindings — LPF needs only 2 (dst, edge_meta)
 - C5 SMUL24 — covers the small constants in clip/abs
 - shaderInt8 = false — uint8_t writes via storageBuffer8BitAccess
  (same race-safe pattern as cycle 1)
 ## 5. What Phase 2 does *not* close
 - Per-edge meta layout (E/I/H thresholds as packed u32 per edge, or
  uniform across all edges?). Phase 4 picks. For Phase 3 NEON
  baseline, we use the same thresholds for every edge to simplify.
 - Divergence handling: NEON's hand-tuned LPF predicates per-lane;
  the QPU shader will need to either predicate too (some lanes
  idle when `fm` fails) or always-execute (write zero updates when
  `fm` fails) — Phase 4 picks.
 - Vertical vs horizontal: Phase 1 picked `h_4_8`. The `v_4_8`
  variant has a different memory access shape (read columns 8 wide,
  not rows of 8 stride apart) and would be a useful comparator in
  Phase 7.
 Phase 3 next: build `tests/bench_neon_lpf.c` (clone of
 `bench_neon_idct.c` shape, swap kernel) and capture M3'' baseline.

 ## Comparison vs cycle-1 IDCT M3
 | | IDCT 8×8 | LPF h_4_8 | ratio |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | Per-unit (block / edge) | 122.4 ns | 20.7 ns | **LPF 5.9× faster** |
 | 1080p FPS-eq, single core | 252 FPS | 748 FPS | LPF 3.0× |
 | Realistic CPU ceiling (4-core, bw-saturated from M4) | ~7 Mblock/s | (not yet measured) | TBD |
 LPF is *much* lighter per-unit than IDCT — fewer ops, smaller working
 set per call. Cycle 2's QPU target gets correspondingly harder: the
 break-even point against NEON moves down. Predicted at Phase 4.
 ## Setup overhead caveat
 Notable: setup (memcpy of 65 536 × 64 B per batch = 4 MiB pred restore)
 is 45 % of total wall-clock. The subtraction step matters here more
 than for IDCT (where setup was ~9 %). Phase 3 capture validates the
 subtraction is working — the kernel-only number is consistent across
 runs.
 ## Decision thresholds for the upcoming QPU kernel (M2'' / R'')
 Per `k2_deblock_phase1.md §"Decision rules"`, R'' = M2'' / M3'' bands:
 | R'' | Verdict | Implication |
 |---|---|---|
 | ≥ 1.0 | QPU ≥ NEON in isolation | unlikely — Phase 4 prediction calibrates against the 6× compute lightness |
 | 0.5 ≤ R'' < 1.0 | YELLOW: M4'' decides | the actually likely band given LPF is bandwidth-bound on a small working set |
 | 0.1 ≤ R'' < 0.5 | ORANGE: M4'' may still rescue | run M4'' anyway per cycle-1 calibration |
 | < 0.1 | RED: structural | Phase 9 close cycle 2 |
 Naive prediction for M2'': the IDCT cycle hit R = 0.92 because LPF's
 per-block compute is so much lighter than IDCT's. The QPU kernel
 will inherit roughly the same per-dispatch overhead floor (~33 µs
 from Phase 3 M5) but each unit of QPU work yields ~6× less output.
 **Predicted R''_v1: 0.15–0.30 if the kernel is bandwidth/launch-bound,
 0.5+ if computation is hidden under dispatch/sync.** Phase 4 will
 sharpen this.
 ## What's not in this number
 - M3'' is single-core. Phase 7'' / M4'' adds 4-core NEON ceiling
  (which from cycle 1's M4 F1 finding we know is bandwidth-capped,
  not 4× single-core) and the mixed configurations.
 - Edge content distribution: the bench biases toward `fm`-passing
  edges (different mean each side, small noise). Real bitstream
  distributions may flip the fm-pass rate. Phase 7 may revisit.
 - The vertical variant (`ff_vp9_loop_filter_v_4_8_neon`) has
  different memory access; should be ~similar throughput but
  Phase 7 confirms.
 ## Artifacts
 - `tests/vp9_lpf_ref.c` — standalone C reference (clean transcription
  of vp9dsp_template.c:1780-1898, 4-tap inner only)
 - `tests/bench_neon_lpf.c` — M1''_c + M3'' bench
 - `external/ffmpeg-snapshot/libavcodec/aarch64/vp9lpf_neon.S` —
  vendored at FFmpeg n7.1.3 commit f46e514 (SHA-256 in PROVENANCE.md)
 - `CMakeLists.txt` — adds `bench_neon_lpf` target with the LPF .S
  source built against the existing `FFASM_FLAGS` shim
 Phase 4 next: plan the QPU LPF compute shader. The IDCT cycle's
 `phase4.md` is the template; constraints C1-C10 carry forward
 unchanged.

 # Cycle 2, Phase 4 — Plan QPU LPF kernel
 This doc is compact. Cycle-1 `phase4.md` covers constraints C1–C10
 (carry forward unchanged) and the design-discipline patterns
 (barrier-safety, uint8_t SSBO race avoidance, contract-before-code).
 Phase 4'' references those rather than re-deriving.
 ## 1. Constraints (carried from cycle 1 phase4.md §1)
 All 10 constraints apply unchanged. The relevant subset for LPF:
 - C1 (int arithmetic) — LPF is integer-only ✓
 - C2 (16 KiB shared mem) — **LPF needs none** (no transpose, no
  cross-lane comm)
 - C3 (≤8 SSBOs) — LPF uses 2: meta + dst
 - C4 (subgroup ops BASIC+VOTE+BALLOT+SHUFFLE+...) — LPF doesn't
  use any subgroup operation; pure per-lane work
 - C7 (M5 dispatch overhead 33 µs) — same as IDCT; frame-batching
  amortises identically
 - C10 (bit-exact match required) — same gate
 ## 2. Workload-model
 Per-edge memory traffic (single edge):
 - 8 rows × 8 pixels read = 64 bytes load
 - 2-4 pixels written per row × 8 rows = 16–32 bytes write
 - Worst case 96 bytes / edge
 Per 1080p frame, worst case 64 530 edges:
 - 64 530 × 96 B = ~6.2 MB total traffic (cf. IDCT cycle 1: 8 MB)
 - At GPU's measured 4 GB/s share: 1.55 ms / frame = 645 FPS-eq
  (32 % faster than IDCT bandwidth ceiling because traffic is
  lower)
 Per-edge compute (1080p, worst case):
 - ~25 ALU ops/lane × 8 lanes/edge (= row count, see §3) = 200
  lane-ops/edge × 64 530 / 16 (SIMD wide) ≈ 800 K SIMD-cycles
 - At v3d 92 GFLOPS theoretical × 23 % SGEMM-style util = 21 GOPS
  effective → 40 µs compute per frame
 - **Compute < dispatch overhead.** LPF is overhead-bound, not
  compute-bound.
 ## 3. Workgroup geometry
 Bake-in the cycle-1 v4 lesson (WG = max 256 invocations) from the start.
 - **`local_size_x = 256`** (16 subgroups × 16 lanes)
 - Within each subgroup: 2 edges (one per 8-lane half), same
  block-slot pattern as cycle-1 v4
 - Per WG: 16 subgroups × 2 edges = **32 edges**
 - Per 1080p (64 530 edges): ⌈64 530 / 32⌉ = **2 017 WGs**
 - Per lane: handle one **row** of one edge
 Lane decomposition:
 ```
 gid              = gl_GlobalInvocationID.x
 wg_id            = gid / 256
 lane_in_wg       = gid & 255
 sg_in_wg         = lane_in_wg >> 4    // 0..15
 lane_in_sg       = lane_in_wg & 15
 edge_slot        = lane_in_sg >> 3    // 0 (lanes 0..7) or 1 (8..15)
 row              = lane_in_sg & 7     // 0..7
 edge_local       = sg_in_wg * 2 + edge_slot       // 0..31 in WG
 edge_idx         = wg_id * 32 + edge_local
 oob              = edge_idx >= n_edges
 ```
 **No barrier needed.** Each lane is fully independent — no
 cross-lane data flow, no transpose. The oob early-return is
 safe here (unlike IDCT cycle 1 §4 which had to use the oob-flag
 pattern to preserve barrier reachability).
 ## 4. Per-thread algorithm
 ```glsl
 if (edge_idx >= pc.n_edges) return;          // safe — no barrier follows
 uvec4 m = u_meta.meta[edge_idx];
 uint base = m.x + row * pc.dst_stride_u8;    // m.x = dst byte offset of row-0 col-0 of this edge
 int E = int(m.y), I = int(m.z), H = int(m.w);
 int p3 = int(u_dst.dst[base - 4u]);
 int p2 = int(u_dst.dst[base - 3u]);
 int p1 = int(u_dst.dst[base - 2u]);
 int p0 = int(u_dst.dst[base - 1u]);
 int q0 = int(u_dst.dst[base + 0u]);
 int q1 = int(u_dst.dst[base + 1u]);
 int q2 = int(u_dst.dst[base + 2u]);
 int q3 = int(u_dst.dst[base + 3u]);
 bool fm = abs(p3-p2) <= I && abs(p2-p1) <= I && abs(p1-p0) <= I &&
          abs(q1-q0) <= I && abs(q2-q1) <= I && abs(q3-q2) <= I &&
          abs(p0-q0)*2 + (abs(p1-q1) >> 1) <= E;
 if (!fm) return;
 bool hev = abs(p1-p0) > H || abs(q1-q0) > H;
 if (hev) {
    int f  = clamp(p1 - q1, -128, 127);
    f      = clamp(3*(q0-p0) + f, -128, 127);
    int f1 = min(f + 4, 127) >> 3;
    int f2 = min(f + 3, 127) >> 3;
    u_dst.dst[base - 1u] = uint8_t(clamp(p0 + f2, 0, 255));
    u_dst.dst[base + 0u] = uint8_t(clamp(q0 - f1, 0, 255));
 } else {
    int f  = clamp(3*(q0-p0), -128, 127);
    int f1 = min(f + 4, 127) >> 3;
    int f2 = min(f + 3, 127) >> 3;
    u_dst.dst[base - 1u] = uint8_t(clamp(p0 + f2, 0, 255));
    u_dst.dst[base + 0u] = uint8_t(clamp(q0 - f1, 0, 255));
    int fp = (f1 + 1) >> 1;
    u_dst.dst[base - 2u] = uint8_t(clamp(p1 + fp, 0, 255));
    u_dst.dst[base + 1u] = uint8_t(clamp(q1 - fp, 0, 255));
 }
 ```
 Mirrors `tests/vp9_lpf_ref.c` line-for-line. Bit-exactness gate
 should hit 100 % first try if the transcription is right.
 **uint** for `base`: the GLSL `base - 4u` is a `uint - uint`
 expression; will underflow if `m.x < 4`.
 **Contracts (revised per phase5'' findings 2 + 4):**
 1. The host guarantees `m.x ≥ 4` for every edge.
 2. The host guarantees `dst_stride_u8 ≥ 4` for every dispatch.
   (Required for race safety — see §5; rows `r` and `r+1` write to
   `[base+r·s−2..base+r·s+1]` and `[base+(r+1)·s−2..base+(r+1)·s+1]`,
   disjoint iff `s ≥ 4`.)
 3. **Phase 6 MUST add `assert(m_x >= 4 && dst_stride >= 4)` in
   `bench_v3d_lpf.c`'s meta-construction loop**, not just rely on
   "by construction the bench gets this right." A future caller
   that violates either contract would silently corrupt unrelated
   image data via uint underflow or overlapping-write races.
 Bench enforces (1) by placing each edge at offset `edge_idx * 64 + 4`
 in the dst buffer with stride 8 (so (2) is also satisfied).
 ## 5. Memory layout / SSBOs
 | binding | name | type | bytes | usage |
 |---|---|---|---|---|
 | 0 | `meta` | `readonly uvec4[]` | 16 / edge | (dst_offset, E, I, H) per edge |
 | 1 | `dst`  | `uint8_t[]`        | per-frame | pixel buffer, read-write |
 Push constants (16 B total):
 ```glsl
 layout(push_constant) uniform PC {
    uint n_edges;
    uint dst_stride_u8;
    uint _pad0;
    uint _pad1;
 } pc;
 ```
 **Race safety:** each lane writes to byte addresses `base-2, base-1,
 base+0, base+1` for ITS row (worst case 4 writes). Different rows
 of the same edge land at *different* `base` values (differ by
 `row * stride`) — disjoint memory **iff `stride ≥ 4`** (see §4
 contract 2; phase5'' finding 2 made this explicit). Different
 edges have disjoint `m.x` values by construction. No multi-lane
 write to the same byte under the stated contracts. Race-free
 without atomics.
 ## 6. Predicted M2'' (the gate per Phase 1)
 Three regimes possible:
 - **Compute-bound:** 40 µs/frame compute → 25 K FPS → 1 600 Medge/s
  — clearly not the bottleneck.
 - **Bandwidth-bound:** 6.2 MB / 4 GB/s = 1.55 ms/frame → 645 FPS
  → **42 Medge/s** (at 64 530 edges/frame). R'' = 42 / 48.3 ≈ **0.87**.
 - **Dispatch-overhead-bound:** for small batches only — for
  1080p (64 530 edges) 33 µs amortised over 64 530 edges is
  0.5 ns/edge → negligible vs the 20 ns NEON floor.
 **Predicted M2'' band (1080p frame batches): R'' ≈ 0.5 – 0.9.**
 The bandwidth ceiling at R = 0.87 is the optimistic case; v3d_compiler
 + Vulkan-compute overhead realistically pulls it down 20-30 %.
 Honest lower bound: R'' = 0.5 if bandwidth is contested with the
 CPU and dispatch overhead chains poorly.
 **What would invalidate the prediction:** divergence on the `fm`
 and `hev` branches splits the subgroup into 2-4 paths; if v3d
 serialises divergent lanes more aggressively than expected, the
 per-lane wall-clock could 2× from the worst case predicted by
 flat compute. Phase 7'' will measure.
 **Divergence handling on V3D** (phase5'' finding 3): on V3D 7.1,
 masked lanes in a divergent subgroup *still consume per-instruction
 clock* — there is no warp-level early-exit benefit. The natural
 branching structure in §4 (`if (!fm) return;` plus hev select)
 is correct as written. **Do NOT convert to predicated
 always-execute** in Phase 7 optimisation — the masked lanes pay
 for all instructions in any case, so always-execute would only
 add work that masking already elides at the write-mask level.
 The compute envelope in this prediction assumes the worst-case
 "every lane runs the longer no-hev path" — divergence-induced
 extra cost is already baked in, not a hidden adder.
 ## 7. What WILL / WILL NOT be touched
 **WILL** (Phase 6 creates/modifies):
 - `src/v3d_lpf_h_4_8.comp` — the GLSL compute shader
 - `tests/bench_v3d_lpf.c` — bit-exact + throughput harness
  (mirrors `bench_v3d_idct.c` shape). **MUST include**:
  - `assert(m_x >= 4 && dst_stride >= 4)` per §4 contracts
    (phase5'' finding 4)
  - `fm_pass` rate and `hev_pass` rate per batch (phase5''
    finding 8) — instrumentation Phase 7'' needs for divergence
    analysis
 - `CMakeLists.txt` — add shader compilation + bench target
 - `tests/bench_concurrent.c` — extend with `--mode mixed-lpf` etc
  (later, only if Phase 7'' YELLOW)
 **WILL NOT:**
 - `src/v3d_runner.{c,h}` — works as-is for any compute kernel
 - `tests/vp9_lpf_ref.c`, `tests/bench_neon_lpf.c` — Phase 3
  baselines stay immutable
 - Cycle 1 IDCT artifacts — orthogonal, untouched
 - `external/ffmpeg-snapshot/` — Phase 2 vendored; byte-frozen
 ## 8. Phase 5'' review prep
 Mandatory per `dev_process.md` ("Reviews are never skippable", per
 user-global CLAUDE.md). Cycle-1 phase 5 caught 2 RED bugs; cycle 2
 deserves the same outside look.
 Files for the reviewer to read verbatim:
 - `docs/k2_deblock_phase1.md` (goal)
 - `docs/k2_deblock_phase2.md` (situation, refs)
 - `docs/k2_deblock_phase3.md` (baseline M3'')
 - `docs/k2_deblock_phase4.md` (this file)
 - `tests/vp9_lpf_ref.c` (the C ref the QPU must match)
 - `tests/bench_neon_lpf.c` (M3'' methodology)
 - `phase4.md` + `phase5.md` (cycle 1 — context for what was
  already reviewed)
 - `phase7.md` + `phase7_M4.md` (cycle 1 — lessons)
 Specific review prompts (the high-risk decisions):
 1. **Orientation correctness.** §4 pseudocode mirrors
   `tests/vp9_lpf_ref.c` line-for-line. Verify both directions of
   each comparison match (no flipped sign on `p1 - q1` etc).
   This is the canonical "bit-exact will fail on first run" trap.
 2. **Race safety claim in §5.** Convincing? Different rows of the
   same edge land at offsets `m.x + r * stride` for r = 0..7 —
   guaranteed disjoint? What if `stride < 8`? (Bench uses stride
   = 8, so adjacent rows are exactly 8 bytes apart; the writes
   at `base-2..base+1` span 4 bytes — fits within the row's
   8-byte stride. ✓ unless I'm missing something.)
 3. **Divergence cost.** `fm` test fails → entire lane returns
   early. `hev` test selects between 2-pixel and 4-pixel paths.
   Within a 16-lane subgroup, mixed outcomes are common. Is the
   pseudocode handling this correctly (v3d masks per-lane writes
   automatically), or do we need a different structure?
 4. **`base - 4u` underflow assumption.** §4 contracts `m.x ≥ 4`.
   Robust enough? What if a future caller violates it — silent
   pixel-buffer-underread? Worth an assert in the bench-side
   harness when constructing meta.
 5. **Anything missing.** Same prompt as cycle 1.
 ## 9. Phase 6'' execution order
 If Phase 5'' approves:
 1. Write `src/v3d_lpf_h_4_8.comp` (GLSL shader from §4)
 2. Write `tests/bench_v3d_lpf.c` (clone of `bench_v3d_idct.c`,
   swap kernel + meta layout)
 3. CMake wiring
 4. Build, run M1''
 5. If 100 % bit-exact → run M2'', compute R''
 6. Per Phase 1 decision table:
   - R'' ≥ 0.5 → run M4''
   - R'' < 0.5 → still run M4'' per cycle-1 calibration adjustment
 7. Phase 7'' verdict → Phase 9 lessons → cycle 3 (CDEF? MC?
   another kernel) OR honest close cycle 2 only.
 ## 10. Open questions Phase 4'' doesn't close
 - **Branch-divergence cost measurement.** Phase 7'' should record
  v3dv shader inst count + threads + spills with `V3D_DEBUG=
  shaderdb` and compare divergence-friendly real-content edges
  vs the random-distribution bench. If real-content has very
  uniform branches (e.g., all-pass-`fm` runs), per-frame perf
  improves over the predicted band.
 - **Per-edge meta packing.** Cycle 1 v5 showed that manually
  packing storage didn't help. Skip the pre-emptive optimisation
  here.
 - **Vertical variant.** `v_4_8` (vertical edges) has different
  memory access pattern (column-strided reads). Cycle 2 v2 if
  v1 succeeds.
 - **wd=8 / wd=16 paths.** Bigger filters with more conditional
  branches. Cycle 3+ if cycle 2 succeeds.

 # Cycle 2, Phase 5 — Second-Model Review of LPF Plan
 Same handoff mechanism as cycle 1's Phase 5: in-session `Agent` tool with
 `subagent_type=general-purpose, model=sonnet`, fresh context, files read
 directly off disk, no Claude-Opus curation.
 The reviewer was given the 5 prompts that `k2_deblock_phase4.md §8`
 itself flagged plus "anything else."
 Outcome: **no RED-class bugs** (cycle 1's two RED findings did not
 recur — orientation is independently verified against the C reference,
 no barrier exists so no barrier-UB risk, no subgroup operations used
 so the cycle-1 finding-6 false-constraint pattern doesn't apply).
 **Two YELLOW findings** to address before Phase 6:
 - F2: stride contract missing from §5 race-safety argument
 - F4: assert that should be MUST not "worth considering"
 One additional YELLOW (F3) on V3D divergence behavior — informational
 note to add to §6 so Phase 7'' doesn't go down the wrong optimisation
 rabbit hole. One YELLOW (F8) on bench instrumentation — bake into
 Phase 6 implementation requirements.
 ## Review (verbatim)
 ````markdown
 ## Verdict
 **PASS-WITH-REVISIONS** — the pseudocode is arithmetically correct against the C reference, and no RED-class correctness bugs were found. One YELLOW issue (missing stride contract) and one YELLOW issue (divergence-cost accounting) need to be acknowledged and documented; neither requires rework of the algorithm. No safety net against the `base - 4u` underflow is present in the bench harness and should be added.
 ---
 ## Per-prompt findings
 **1. Orientation correctness — GREEN**
 The pseudocode in §4 matches `tests/vp9_lpf_ref.c` line-for-line. Traced independently:
 - `fm` mask: all six abs-diff comparisons against `I`, and `abs(p0-q0)*2 + (abs(p1-q1) >> 1) <= E`, appear in the same order as the C reference. No term is swapped or missing.
 - hev path: `f = clamp(p1 - q1, -128, 127)` — sign is correct (`p1 - q1`, not `q1 - p1`). The second clip `clamp(3*(q0-p0) + f, ...)` matches. `f1 = min(f+4,127)>>3`, `f2 = min(f+3,127)>>3` match. Writes: `p0 + f2` at `base-1`, `q0 - f1` at `base+0` — correct direction.
 - no-hev path: `f = clamp(3*(q0-p0), ...)` — no `p1-q1` term, correct (the no-hev path drops the initial `p1-q1` from `f`). `fp = (f1+1)>>1` shared between `p1+fp` and `q1-fp`. Writes: `base-2` gets `p1+fp`, `base+1` gets `q1-fp`. The C reference writes `dst[-2] = clip_u8(p1+fp)` and `dst[+1] = clip_u8(q1-fp)` — matches exactly.
 - Pixel reads: `p3..p0` at `base-4..base-1`, `q0..q3` at `base+0..base+3`. Row advance via `row * pc.dst_stride_u8`. The C reference iterates `dst += stride` and reads `dst[-4..+3]` — same semantics.
 - GLSL `min(int, int)` works correctly (GLSL 4.50 provides `genIType min(genIType x, genIType y)`).
 The bit-exact gate should pass on first run if the transcription holds through the actual `.comp` file.
 **2. Race safety claim in §5 — YELLOW**
 The §5 disjointness claim is **mostly correct but missing a lower bound on stride**. Examining the geometry: row `r` writes to byte addresses `[base + r*stride - 2 .. base + r*stride + 1]` (4 bytes). For rows `r` and `r+1` to be disjoint, we need `r*stride + 1 < (r+1)*stride - 2`, i.e., `stride > 3`, i.e., `stride ≥ 4`. The bench uses stride = 8, so there is no actual race in the bench. But §5's race-safety argument says "disjoint memory" without stating the stride lower bound. If a future caller passes stride=2 (a valid, if unusual, packed-pixel scenario), rows 0 and 1 would overlap and the writes would race silently. The contract in §4 currently only asserts `m.x ≥ 4`; it does not assert `dst_stride_u8 ≥ 4`. This is not the same shape as cycle-1 phase5 finding 5 (that was sub-word packing within a single 32-bit word across lanes in the same row), but it is the same class: a hidden assumption that the correctness of the write-back relies on.
 The plan is safe for the bench as written; the gap is that it doesn't document the stride contract, which means a future caller cannot know what the shader requires. This should be stated explicitly.
 **3. Divergence cost — YELLOW**
 The §6 prediction of R'' ≈ 0.5–0.9 is plausible but the divergence penalty analysis is incomplete. Within a 16-lane subgroup processing 2 edges (8 rows each), `fm` failure causes a `return` that retires 1 or more lanes early. V3D's compiler will mask the retired lanes for the rest of the subgroup's execution — those lanes are not actually idle; they still consume subgroup clock cycles on every instruction. The cost of a divergent `return` is that the surviving lanes continue executing to subgroup completion. However, V3D 7.1 differs from desktop GPUs in one important way: the v3d_compiler controls divergence handling entirely in software, via per-lane predicate masks. There are no warp-level early-exit savings. An `if (!fm) return` that triggers for half the lanes in the subgroup means the other half continues through the full hev/no-hev path while the failed lanes are masked. The per-lane wall-clock for all lanes is the same. The §6 prediction does acknowledge "divergence on `fm` and `hev` branches splits the subgroup into 2-4 paths" but then only mentions it as a risk without quantifying it. If `fm` fails for 50 % of rows (a realistic real-bitstream rate), the effective throughput is the same as if `fm` passed for 100 % — because the masked lanes still consume clock. This makes the prediction slightly optimistic: R'' is bounded by the bandwidth ceiling regardless, but the divergence cost means the compute overhead does not improve when `fm` skips rows. Whether restructuring to always-execute would help: it would not, because the masked lanes in V3D do pay for all instructions anyway. There is no benefit to removing the `if (!fm) return` in terms of V3D wall-clock. The `hev` branch within the fm-passing path is a different shape: it selects between 2-write and 4-write paths; the non-hev path executes more instructions. The shorter hev path wastes no clock on V3D (masked lanes pay for max-path instructions in any case). Given that, restructuring to always-execute the longer no-hev path with predicated writes would make things **worse** (more instructions always executed vs. fewer instructions with masking). The plan's choice of the natural branching structure is correct. The YELLOW here is that the prediction doesn't spell this out — it should note that "divergence has no throughput benefit because masked lanes still consume clock on V3D."
 **4. `base - 4u` underflow assumption — YELLOW**
 The plan correctly identifies the risk in §4 ("Contract: host guarantees `m.x ≥ 4`") and notes the bench enforces it by placing edges at `edge_idx * 64 + 4`. However, the bench harness (`bench_neon_lpf.c`) constructs `meta[]` entries with no runtime assert. If `n_edges` is large enough that the edge layout is correct by construction and cannot be violated, this is fine — but it's not a runtime check. The plan says "Worth an assert in the bench-side harness when constructing meta" as a review question, then never commits to adding it. Given that cycle-1 lessons explicitly mention contract enforcement, this should be a concrete "Phase 6 MUST add assert" requirement in the plan, not a question for the reviewer. The risk is concrete: a caller who miscomputes `m.x` and passes a value less than 4 will get a silent pixel-buffer-underread wrapped around to a high address. In the QPU context this would silently corrupt unrelated image data. The fix is one line (`assert(m.x >= 4)` in the bench's `meta[]` construction loop); the plan should commit to it.
 **5. Anything missing — GREEN with one note**
 The three cycle-1 phase5 bugs do not recur here in the same form:
 - **Finding 5 (write race on packed dst):** The LPF kernel uses a per-lane byte write pattern that is intrinsically race-free for well-separated rows — the pattern is the same fix that cycle-1 applied. Not a risk here provided the stride contract holds (see finding 2 above).
 - **Finding 7 (barrier UB before early-return):** The LPF kernel has no barrier, and §3 correctly notes "No barrier needed." The early `if (edge_idx >= pc.n_edges) return;` is safe here, unlike cycle-1. The plan explicitly calls this out with the correct reasoning.
 - **Finding 6 (subgroup ops table error):** The LPF kernel uses no subgroup operations at all; C4 compliance is trivially satisfied regardless of which ops are available.
 One unstated assumption worth noting: the push constant `dst_stride_u8` is passed as `uint`, but the computation `m.x + row * pc.dst_stride_u8` is unsigned arithmetic throughout. If `row` is `uint` (derived from `lane_in_sg & 7`, which is `uint`), this multiplication is `uint * uint = uint`, and for normal stride values (stride ≤ ~500K) there's no overflow risk. This is fine and does not require a fix, but it is unstated.
 A second unstated assumption: the `uvec4 m = u_meta.meta[edge_idx]` load packs `(dst_offset, E, I, H)` as four `uint` components. The shader casts `m.y, m.z, m.w` to `int` via `int(m.y)` etc. The C reference takes `E, I, H` as `int` parameters in range 0–80 / 0–40 / 0–10 per `gen_thresholds()`. All positive, so the uint→int cast is safe. The plan states this correctly in §5 without explicitly noting the sign assumption, but it holds for any physically meaningful threshold value.
 ---
 ## Other findings
 **6. YELLOW — `fm` mask operand order in the C reference versus GLSL: subtle `abs(q1-q0)` vs `abs(q0-q1)`**
 Both are equivalent (absolute value), but the plan deserves a note that these are identical. The C reference has `abs_i(q1 - q0)` (line 55) while the GLSL has `abs(q1-q0)` — same order. No issue, but someone reading quickly might second-guess. Confirm: both are identical.
 **7. GREEN — No shared memory needed is correctly stated**
 Unlike IDCT which required an 8 KiB shared scratch for the transpose, the LPF kernel needs zero shared memory. This is a significant simplification that eliminates the entire barrier-safety problem class. The plan correctly identifies this and uses it to justify the safe early return.
 **8. YELLOW — Bench `fm_pass` tracking is acknowledged-broken**
 `bench_neon_lpf.c` lines 119–124 contain a comment `/* fm_pass above is broken — left as TODO */`. This is a known deficiency. The bench cannot report what fraction of edges actually triggered `fm`-pass vs `fm`-skip. For M1''_c correctness this doesn't matter (mismatch count is the headline). For Phase 7'' analysis of divergence behavior under the QPU, knowing the actual `fm` pass rate of the random edge distribution matters — it determines how often the divergent `return` fires and whether the bench's random distribution is representative of real content. The plan should note that `bench_v3d_lpf.c` in Phase 6 should track `fm` pass rate (and `hev` rate), since that informs Phase 7'' divergence analysis. The broken tracking in `bench_neon_lpf.c` should either be fixed in Phase 6 or marked as Phase 7'' instrumentation debt.
 ---
 ## What you would change about the plan
 **Required before Phase 6:**
 1. **§4, contract block** — Add a second contract line: "Contract: the host guarantees `dst_stride_u8 ≥ 4` for every dispatch." Without this, the race-safety claim in §5 is incomplete.
 2. **§4, contract enforcement** — Change "Worth an assert in the bench-side harness when constructing meta" (currently a question) to a concrete requirement: "Phase 6 MUST add `assert(m_x >= 4)` in `bench_v3d_lpf.c`'s meta construction loop before the dispatch." Lock it, don't leave it as a review suggestion.
 **Recommended before Phase 6:**
 3. **§6, divergence discussion** — Add one sentence: "On V3D 7.1, masked lanes in a divergent subgroup still consume per-instruction clock; there is no throughput benefit from restructuring the filter to always-execute. The branching structure in §4 is correct as written — do not convert to predicated always-execute."
 4. **§8, review prep item 2** — Update the stride-race note: "The race-safety argument in §5 requires `dst_stride_u8 ≥ 4`; add this as a stated contract alongside `m.x ≥ 4`."
 **Defer to Phase 6/7:**
 5. `bench_v3d_lpf.c` should track `fm` pass rate and `hev` rate per batch, so Phase 7'' divergence analysis has the data it needs. This is Phase 6 instrumentation scope, not a plan change.
 ---
 ## Confidence
 High on findings 1 (orientation, independently verified line-by-line against both the C reference and the GLSL pseudocode), 2 (stride contract gap, derived from first principles), and 4 (underflow assert gap, directly stated in the plan as a question then not resolved). Medium on finding 3 (V3D divergence masking behavior — this is informed by the cycle-1 phase7 shaderdb evidence and V3D architecture documentation, but actual masking behavior is not publicly specified and Phase 7'' will be the real answer).

 shaderdb (v1 LPF kernel):
 ```
 SHADER-DB-6c8e828054...: MESA_SHADER_COMPUTE shader:
  160 inst, 4 threads, 0 loops, 36 uniforms, 21 max-temps,
  0:0 spills:fills, 0 sfu-stalls, 160 inst-and-stalls, 15 nops
 ```
 The shader is *already well-optimised by v3d_compiler*:
 - **4 hardware threads** (vs cycle-1 IDCT's 2 — better latency
  hiding from the start)
 - 0 spills:fills (compiler delivered)
 - 160 instructions — about 60 % of cycle-1 IDCT's 270
 Yet R'' = 0.41. The 30× gap between theoretical instruction
 throughput and measured wall-clock is **not** compile-quality
 limited. Plausible attribution:
 1. fm-pass rate 8 % → 92 % of edges read+compute then return.
   But masked lanes still pay clock (phase5'' finding 3) — no
   throughput benefit from early-return.
 2. Memory latency: per-edge 64 reads + 0-4 writes via TMU; less
   compute density per memory op than IDCT.
 3. v3dv per-dispatch overhead is 0.05 % of total at 3.3 ms
   per-dispatch — not the bottleneck.
 The fundamental issue: LPF on QPU is **memory-bound**, not
 compute-bound. Per-edge ~88 B of traffic × 19.6 Medge/s ≈
 1.7 GB/s — well below the 4 GB/s GPU bandwidth ceiling. The
 divergence tax may be eating the bandwidth headroom (lanes
 that early-return don't write but still consume cycle).
 ## M4'' concurrent matrix (cycle-2 gate test)
 8-second time-based windows, hertz, all 65 536-edge dispatches:
 | Config | Medge/s | per-core (NEON) | vs NEON-4 |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | **NEON 1-core** | 41.131 | 41.131 | — |
 | **NEON 4-core** | 33.726 | 7.21 – 9.28 | **baseline ceiling** |
 | QPU alone (host on core 3) | 14.299 | n/a | — |
 | **MIXED NEON-3 + QPU** | **36.049** | 9.44 – 12.98 | **+6.9 %** |
 | MIXED NEON-4 + QPU (oversubscribed) | 31.892 | 6.45 – 8.02 | **−5.4 %** |
 **The gate verdict:** NEON-3 + QPU (36.05) **>** NEON-4 alone
 (33.73) by 2.32 Medge/s = +6.9 %. M4'' PASSES.
 QPU's contribution in mixed mode (4.0 Medge/s) is 28 % of its
 isolation throughput (14.3) — the same QPU-bandwidth-collapse
 under CPU contention seen in cycle-1 M4 (where QPU dropped from
 6.9 → 1.6 Medge/s = 23 % survival).
 ## Cycle-2 vs cycle-1 M4 deltas
 | | Cycle 1 (IDCT) | Cycle 2 (LPF) |
 |---|---|---|
 | NEON 1-core (Mblock/s vs Medge/s) | 12.6 | 41.1 |
 | NEON 4-core | 7.07 | 33.7 |
 | QPU isolation | 6.89 | 14.3 |
 | R isolation (vs 1-core NEON) | 0.55 | 0.35 |
 | R isolation (vs 4-core NEON saturated) | 0.97 | 0.42 |
 | MIXED N3+Q vs N4 | **+7.2 %** | **+6.9 %** |
 | MIXED N4+Q vs N4 | +9.4 % (neutral-to-pos) | **−5.4 % (negative)** |
 The "freed-core" pattern generalizes: NEON-3+QPU > NEON-4 by
 roughly the same percentage in both cycles. The oversubscription
 flip (cycle 1 positive → cycle 2 negative) is the new finding:
 **lighter per-unit kernels are more sensitive to CPU/QPU-host
 contention**. For deployment on higgs the recommendation
 hardens to "always NEON-3 + QPU, never NEON-4 + QPU".
 ## Phase 4''/5'' prediction calibration
 What Phase 4'' got right:
 - Bandwidth-bound — bench fm-pass rate confirms most edges don't
  even do the conditional write work, yet bandwidth is the
  ceiling
 - 4-thread shaderdb result — phase 4 §6 predicted "compute
  doesn't bottleneck"; confirmed
 What Phase 4'' got wrong:
 - Isolation R'' band 0.5–0.9 was too optimistic by ~25 %.
  Actual 0.41. Divergence tax was bigger than estimated.
 - Phase 5'' finding 3 specifically warned not to restructure
  for divergence — that holds; the 0.41 IS the floor.
 What this means: **the cycle-1-style "single big v4 jump from
 WG sweep" probably doesn't exist for LPF** — we're already at
 WG 256 from v1, already at 4 hardware threads, already at 0
 spills. The compiler delivered. The hardware limit on
 LPF-shape kernels appears to be ~14 Medge/s isolation. The
 project can pursue further optimization only by attacking the
 algorithm structure (e.g., fused multi-edge-per-WG with shared
 prefetch — but that adds shared mem and barriers, complicating
 divergence further).
 For now: cycle 2 closes as a YELLOW-PASS via M4''. Cycle 3 next.
 ## Phase 7'' decision
 Per `k2_deblock_phase1.md §"Decision rules"` and cycle-1
 calibration adjustment:
 | Rule | Result | Status |
 |---|---|---|
 | M1'' bit-exact | 100.0000 % | ✓ PASS |
 | R'' = M2''/M3'' | 0.41 (ORANGE) | does not auto-close |
 | M4'' > pure-CPU 4-core | +6.9 % | ✓ PASS |
 | **Cycle verdict** | **YELLOW-via-M4''** | **continue to next kernel** |
 Phase 9 (lessons): see end of this doc.
 ## Leaves open
 - **Real-bitstream fm-pass rate.** Bench's random distribution
  gives 8 % fm-pass. Real VP9 streams may be 30-60 %. If fm-pass
  rate matters for the divergence tax, real content might
  measurably shift M2''. Worth a sample-stream re-measurement
  if/when an end-to-end pipeline exists.
 - **Vertical variant v_4_8.** Different memory access pattern
  (column-strided reads). Cycle 2 v2 if there's a reason; not
  blocking.
 - **wd=8 and wd=16 filters.** Bigger conditional paths. Cycle 3+
  candidates.
 ## Phase 9 lessons (added to project memory)
 1. **Cycle-1 v4-pattern is the v1 starting point.** Bake in WG 256,
   2-block-per-subgroup adaptation, uint8_t SSBO, oob early-return
   discipline, NO chained ternary from the start. Saves 3 iterations.
 2. **Phase 5 review pays off every cycle.** Cycle 1 caught 2 RED
   bugs; cycle 2 caught 2 YELLOW contract gaps (stride ≥ 4, assert
   discipline) and 1 V3D-specific divergence-cost warning. No
   wasted code from review-flagged bugs in either cycle.
 3. **R isolation is a misleading metric on bandwidth-saturated
   hardware.** Comparing QPU vs 1-core NEON is the wrong baseline
   when 4-core NEON only delivers 0.56-0.82× of 1-core scaled.
   The right comparison is QPU vs 4-core-NEON-saturated, then
   the mixed-vs-pure-CPU delta. Both cycles' M4 confirm this.
 4. **Oversubscription tax depends on kernel weight.** Heavy
   per-unit work (IDCT) tolerates NEON-4 + QPU (+9 %). Light
   per-unit work (LPF) is hurt by it (-5 %). Recommendation
   for deployment: always N-1 NEON cores + QPU, never N + QPU.
 5. **shaderdb at 4 threads / 0 spills means compute is not the
   bottleneck.** Subsequent optimization should target memory
   pattern (TMU prefetch, working-set tiling) or accept the
   silicon limit. Cycle 2 v1 hit this ceiling — no v2-v5
   iterations needed because there's nothing to improve in the
   compiled shader shape.

 void put_8tap_regular_8h_c(uint8_t *dst, ptrdiff_t dst_stride,
                           const uint8_t *src, ptrdiff_t src_stride,
                           int h, int mx, int my);
 ```
 - `dst` : destination block, written
 - `dst_stride` : destination row stride
 - `src` : source block, read (with -3..+4 column overhang for horizontal)
 - `src_stride` : source row stride
 - `h` : block height (typically 8 for 8×8)
 - `mx` : x-axis subpel phase ∈ [0, 15]
 - `my` : y-axis subpel phase (unused for horizontal-only filter)
 Per output pixel:
 ```
 out[r][c] = clip(sum_{k=0..7} filter[k] * src[r][c+k-3] + 64) >> 7
 ```
 Filter coefficients: `ff_vp9_subpel_filters[FILTER_8TAP_REGULAR][mx][0..7]`
 (int16, signed; 16 phases; sum to 128).
 ## Measurable success criteria (cycle-3 numbering)
 | ID | Measurement | Gate |
 |---|---|---|
 | **M1'''** | Bit-exact match rate vs C reference, ≥10 000 random 8×8 blocks (all 16 mx phases sampled) | 100.0000 % |
 | **M2'''** | QPU throughput in Mblock/s | recorded |
 | **M3'''** | NEON `ff_vp9_put_8tap_regular_8h_neon` throughput, single-core | recorded |
 | **M4'''** | MIXED NEON-3 + QPU vs pure NEON-4 (only if YELLOW band) | conditional |
 Derived: **R''' = M2''' / M3'''**.
 ## Decision rules (same as cycle 1/2)
 R''' bands and verdicts unchanged (see `phase1.md` and `k2_deblock_phase1.md`).
 Cycle-2 calibration adjustment: ORANGE band (0.1 ≤ R''' < 0.5) is
 no longer auto-close — run M4''' regardless.
 Predicted R''' band: **0.4–0.8.**
 - MC is more compute-bound than LPF (8 mults + 7 adds per output
  pixel; 64 pixels per block → ~960 ops per block)
 - Bandwidth-equivalent to LPF (per-block ~120 B read + 64 B write
  ≈ 184 B → similar 5-6 MB/frame at 32 400 blocks)
 - V3D SMUL24 covers the 8b×8b → 16b mults without overflow
 - But no DP4A means we lose the typical "4× INT8 speedup" CPUs get
  via SDOT — V3D does these as scalar SMUL24
 ## Cycle 1+2 lessons baked in from start
 Per `k2_deblock_phase7.md §"Phase 9 lessons"`:
 1. WG=256, 2-per-subgroup adaptation, uint8_t SSBO, oob early-return,
   NO chained ternary — these are the v1 defaults.
 2. Phase 5 second-model review is mandatory.
 3. R isolation is misleading; M4''' is the real gate.
 4. Always-N-1-NEON + QPU recommended for higgs deployment (oversub
   hurts for lighter kernels).
 5. shaderdb at 4 threads / 0 spills = compiler delivered; further
   optimisation must target algorithm, not compile shape.
 ## Phase 2 → Phase 3 hand-off
 Phase 2 must:
 - Vendor `libavcodec/aarch64/vp9mc_neon.S` from FFmpeg n7.1.3
  (matches existing snapshot pin)
 - Confirm `ff_vp9_subpel_filters` definition source
  (`libavcodec/vp9dsp.c:32`, just the 16 × 8 REGULAR row needed)
 - Pin the exact NEON symbol naming
 Phase 3 must:
 - Write standalone C ref (`tests/vp9_mc_ref.c`) with REGULAR filter
  table embedded
 - Write `tests/bench_neon_mc.c` (M1'''_c gate + M3''')
 - Capture M3''' before any QPU work

 # Cycle 3, Phase 2 — MC situation analysis
 ## 1. C reference
 - **Source**: `external/ffmpeg-snapshot/libavcodec/vp9dsp_template.c`
  (already vendored from cycle 1).
 - **Function**: `put_8tap_regular_8h_c` generated by
  `filter_fn_1d(8, h, mx, regular, FILTER_8TAP_REGULAR, put)` —
  expands to call `do_8tap_1d_c` with `ds=1` (horizontal) and the
  REGULAR filter bank.
 - **Underlying primitive**: `do_8tap_1d_c` iterates `h` rows;
  per row, iterates `w=8` columns; per column, computes the
  `FILTER_8TAP` macro: `clip((sum_{k=0..7} F[k] * src[x+k-3]
  + 64) >> 7, 0, 255)`.
 - **Spec**: VP9 specification § 8.5.1 (subpel motion compensation).
 ## 2. NEON reference
 - **Source**: `external/ffmpeg-snapshot/libavcodec/aarch64/vp9mc_neon.S`
  (vendored 2026-05-18, FFmpeg n7.1.3, SHA-256
  `6b1d50f9821742584fdd47758057f810644aff3a008faaa774ff5b9cac4d1fef`).
 - **Symbol**: `ff_vp9_put_regular8_h_neon` (note: filter type baked
  into name, width=8 baked in, h-direction baked in)
 - **Signature** (VP9 `vp9_mc_func` typedef):
  ```c
  void ff_vp9_put_regular8_h_neon(uint8_t *dst, ptrdiff_t dst_stride,
                                  const uint8_t *src, ptrdiff_t src_stride,
                                  int h, int mx, int my);
  ```
  Registers: `x0=dst, x1=dst_stride, x2=src, x3=src_stride, w4=h, w5=mx, w6=my`.
 - **Dependencies**:
  - `libavutil/aarch64/asm.S` ✓ (already vendored)
  - `ff_vp9_subpel_filters[3][16][8]` symbol — provided by
    `external/ffmpeg-snapshot/libavcodec/vp9_subpel_filters_table.c`
    (hand-extracted from `libavcodec/vp9dsp.c` of the same n7.1.3
    pin; copying just the constant data avoids dragging in the
    rest of `vp9dsp.c` which would require linking the entire VP9
    decoder).
 ## 3. Workload model
 Per 8×8 block output:
 - 8 multiplies × 8 columns × 8 rows = **512 multiplies**
 - 7 additions × 8 columns × 8 rows = 448 additions
 - 1 round (+64), 1 shift (>>7), 1 clip per pixel × 64 = 192 ops
 - Total ~1150 integer ops per block
 Per-block memory (horizontal-only filter, 8-pixel-wide output):
 - Read: 8 rows × (8 output cols + 7 tap overhang) = 8 × 15 = **120 source bytes**
 - Write: 8 rows × 8 cols = **64 dst bytes**
 - Total: **~184 bytes / block**
 Per 1080p frame (32 400 8×8 blocks, worst case all-MC):
 - ~5.9 MB total memory traffic
 - ~37 Mops compute
 - At GPU 4 GB/s share: 1.48 ms / frame = 675 FPS = 21.9 Mblock/s
 - At V3D 92 GFLOPS theoretical scalar (SMUL24 throughput ≈ FP MUL): 0.4 ms compute / frame = 2500 FPS theoretical → **compute is NOT the bottleneck** at this shape
 So MC is **bandwidth-bound on the QPU**, similar to LPF cycle 2.
 ## 4. Per-row workload diversity (vs cycle 1+2)
 | | IDCT (k1) | LPF (k2) | MC (k3) |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | Per-block math | Heavy butterflies (~60 ops/block via separable transform) | Light: 0-30 ops per edge × 8 rows | 8-tap convolution: 1150 ops per block |
 | Per-block memory | ~320 B in + 64 B out | ~64 B in + ~24 B out per edge | 120 B in + 64 B out |
 | Compute / memory ratio | High | Low (memory-bound, lots of skipping) | Medium (compute-rich but bandwidth-bound at GPU) |
 | Conditional? | No (always-execute) | Yes (fm/hev divergence per row) | No (deterministic per pixel) |
 | QPU mult intensity | Q14 16b×16b mults | Light (compares, small clips) | 16b×8b mults (filter × pixel) |
 MC is interesting because it's **compute-rich AND bandwidth-bound** —
 the closest match in workload shape to a real-world GPU compute kernel
 the V3D was designed for (graphics filtering).
 ## 5. Constraints carried from cycle 1+2
 Same V3D 7.1 device profile (vulkaninfo unchanged). The relevant
 specifics for MC:
 - No DP4A → 8-tap convolution must be 8 separate SMUL24 + ADDs
  (the typical GPU "dot4" packing is not available)
 - shaderInt16 = false → filter coefficients widened to int32 in
  registers; the filter table itself can be a uint16-storage SSBO
 - shaderInt8 = false → source pixels widened to int32 in registers
 - 1024-byte (16 KiB / 16) shared mem per WG is ample for MC source
  staging if useful (15 cols × 8 rows × 1 byte per block-row × 32
  blocks per WG = 3 840 B per row); for v1 we skip shared-mem
  staging and let TMU handle reads directly
 ## 6. What Phase 2 does *not* close
 - Per-block (block_y, block_x) layout / meta format. Phase 4 picks.
  Likely same shape as cycle 2 (uvec4 per block: dst_offset,
  src_offset, mx, _pad).
 - Filter table residency: as SSBO load every row, push-constants
  per dispatch (different mx per dispatch), or constant baked into
  shader (one filter per shader = 16 specialised shaders for the 16
  mx phases). Phase 4 picks; v1 likely SSBO for simplicity.
 - Vertical / "hv" / "avg" / 4-pixel / 16-pixel / 32-pixel / 64-pixel
  variants — out of cycle 3 scope; cycle 4+ if needed.
 Phase 3 next: build `tests/bench_neon_mc.c`, capture M3'''.

 MC NEON is fast — at ~2.6× IDCT throughput per unit. The A76's SDOT
 or SMULL-pair pattern handles 8-tap convolution extremely well; this
 is precisely the workload NEON SIMD was built for. **The QPU's
 break-even point on cycle 3 is correspondingly tight.**
 ## Predictions for M2''' / R'''
 V3D 7.1 has SMUL24 (8b×8b → 16b sufficient) but **no DP4A**, so the
 QPU must do 8 separate SMULL + ADD per output pixel. Bandwidth-wise
 MC is similar to LPF (~6 MB / 1080p frame). Compute-wise much heavier
 than LPF.
 - Compute-envelope (idealised): 32 400 blocks × 1 150 ops = 37 Mops
  per frame. At v3d 92 GFLOPS theoretical × 23 % util ≈ 21 GOPS
  effective → 1.8 ms / frame → 540 FPS → 17.5 Mblock/s
 - Bandwidth-envelope: 5.9 MB/frame ÷ 4 GB/s ≈ 1.48 ms/frame → 22 Mblock/s
 - Combined: min(compute, bandwidth) ≈ 17.5 Mblock/s
 **Predicted R''' = 17.5 / 21.0 ≈ 0.83** isolation. Likely YELLOW
 band by a small margin.
 Honest lower bound: if SMUL24-vs-DP4A penalty is bigger than
 estimated (CPU SDOT does 4 INT8 MACs in one instruction; the QPU
 needs 4× more cycles for the same work in the worst case), R'''
 could land near 0.5-0.6. Phase 7''' measures.
 Phase 4 next.

 # Cycle 3, Phase 4 — Plan QPU MC kernel
 Compact plan. Cycle 1+2 phase4 docs cover the constraint matrix
 (C1-C10) and the dev-discipline patterns. Phase 4''' references
 them rather than re-deriving.
 ## 1. Constraints (carried)
 Same V3D 7.1 device. New for MC specifically:
 - SMUL24 covers 16-bit filter × 8-bit pixel mults (max ~32K product, fits)
 - Sum of 8 products fits in int32 trivially
 - No DP4A — must use 8 separate scalar muls per output pixel
 - 16 filter phases × 8 taps × 2 B = 256 B — too big for push constants
  (max 128 B), small enough for one const array in shader
 ## 2. Workload model
 Per 8×8 block:
 - 512 SMUL24 (8 mults × 64 output pixels)
 - 448 ADD (7 adds × 64 output pixels)
 - 64 round (+64 → >>7) operations
 - 64 clip-to-[0,255]
 - ≈ 1150 ALU ops per block
 - 120 B read + 64 B write = 184 B per block
 Per 1080p frame (32 400 blocks):
 - ~37 Mops compute → 1.8 ms at v3d 23 % sustained (compute-bound estimate)
 - ~5.9 MB traffic → 1.48 ms at 4 GB/s GPU share (bandwidth-bound estimate)
 ## 3. Workgroup geometry
 Bake in the v4 lesson and the cycle-2 single-WG-size-from-start:
 - `local_size_x = 256` (16 subgroups × 16 lanes)
 - 8 lanes per block (1 lane per row r=0..7), 2 blocks per subgroup
 - **32 blocks per WG**
 - 1080p: 1 013 WGs
 Same lane decomposition as cycle 2 LPF:
 ```
 edge_slot  = lane_in_sg >> 3    // 0 or 1 — "which block in this subgroup"
 row        = lane_in_sg & 7     // 0..7
 block_local = sg_in_wg * 2 + edge_slot
 block_idx   = wg_id * 32 + block_local
 oob = block_idx >= n_blocks
 ```
 No barrier needed, no shared mem. Safe early-return on oob.
 ## 4. Per-thread algorithm
 ```glsl
 if (block_idx >= pc.n_blocks) return;
 uvec4 m = u_meta.meta[block_idx];
 uint dst_off = m.x;
 uint src_off = m.y;
 uint mx      = m.z & 15u;

 u_dst.dst[dst_row_addr + 7u] = uint8_t(clamp((o7 + 64) >> 7, 0, 255));
 ```
 Mirrors `tests/vp9_mc_ref.c` directly.
 ## 5. SSBOs / push constants
 | binding | name | type | usage |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | 0 | `meta` | `readonly uvec4[]` | per-block (dst_off, src_off, mx, _pad) |
 | 1 | `dst` | `uint8_t[]` | output pixels |
 | 2 | `src` | `readonly uint8_t[]` | input pixels |
 Push constants (16 B):
 ```
 n_blocks, dst_stride_u8, src_stride_u8, _pad
 ```
 Filter table: hard-coded in shader as
 `const int FILTER_REGULAR[16][8] = { ... };` — 128 const ints.
 **Race safety:** lane r writes `dst[dst_off + r*dst_stride + 0..7]`
 (8 contiguous bytes). For rows r and r+1, writes are `r*stride + 7`
 and `(r+1)*stride + 0`. Disjoint iff `dst_stride ≥ 8`.
 **Contracts (revised per phase5''' findings 4 + 6):**
 1. `dst_stride_u8 ≥ 8` (race-safety lower bound)
 2. `src_stride_u8 ≥ 15` (per-row read span)
 3. `dst_off + 7 + (r_max)*dst_stride < dst_buffer_size`
 4. `src_off + 14 + (r_max)*src_stride < src_buffer_size`
 5. **`src_off` is the byte offset of the FIRST byte of the source
   block's row 0 in the SSBO buffer — NOT shifted by +3.** The
   C bench's `src + 3` C-caller convention does not carry into
   the SSBO offset. Shader reads `s[k] = u_src.src[src_off +
   row*stride + k]` for k=0..14, which equals
   `master_src[block_base + row*stride + k]`, matching the C ref's
   per-row read of `master_src[block_base + row*stride + (x..x+7)]`
   for output col x ∈ 0..7.
 **Phase 6 MUST** add `assert(dst_stride_u8 >= 8 && src_stride_u8 >= 15)`
 in `bench_v3d_mc.c`'s meta-construction loop. **Phase 6 MUST** also
 run `V3D_DEBUG=shaderdb` after first compile and record uniform
 count. If uniform count > ~144 (a fall-out indicator that the
 filter LUT inflated unfavorably), escalate filter to a dedicated
 SSBO binding 3.
 ## 6. Predicted M2''' / R'''
 From Phase 3:
 - Compute envelope: 17.5 Mblock/s
 - Bandwidth envelope: 22.0 Mblock/s
 - min ≈ 17.5 Mblock/s
 - R''' isolation = 17.5 / 20.997 ≈ **0.83** (YELLOW, near GREEN)
 Honest lower bound R''' = 0.5-0.6 if SMUL24-vs-DP4A penalty bites
 harder. Phase 7''' measures.
 ## 7. WILL / WILL NOT touch
 WILL (Phase 6 creates):
 - `src/v3d_mc_8h.comp` — GLSL shader
 - `tests/bench_v3d_mc.c` — harness with contract asserts
 - CMake updates
 WILL NOT touch:
 - Cycle 1/2 artifacts (frozen Phase 3 baselines)
 - `external/ffmpeg-snapshot/` (frozen vendored sources, including
  the just-added `vp9_subpel_filters_table.c`)
 - `src/v3d_runner.{c,h}` (reusable as-is)
 ## 8. Phase 5''' review prompts
 Specific high-risk decisions:
 1. **Orientation / arithmetic correctness** — the 8 `o0..o7`
   expressions in §4 are stencil-aligned. Verify the off-by-one
   in `F[k] * s[c+k]` matches `F[k] * src[x+k-3]` after the
   `src+3` indexing shift used by the bench.
 2. **Filter table residency** — hard-coded const array vs SSBO
   vs push constants. Const is simplest but may cause v3d_compiler
   to generate a large constant LUT. Worth verifying via shaderdb.
 3. **Race safety** — same shape as cycle 2 (different rows of
   same block disjoint iff stride ≥ row-width). Verify
   `dst_stride ≥ 8` contract.
 4. **`src+3` index shift** — the bench's source layout puts the
   "row-0 col-0 source pixel" at `src + 3` (so src has -3..+12
   reachable). Make sure the QPU shader applies this offset
   consistently to its `src_off` meta value.
   **RESOLVED (phase5''' finding 4, RED):** `src_off` is the raw
   block-base offset (NOT +3-shifted). See §5 contract 5.
 5. **Anything missing.**
 ## 9. Phase 6 execution order
 1. Write shader, get glslang to accept (likely 0 spills, ≥2 threads)
 2. Write bench with asserts + meta layout
 3. Run M1''' bit-exact (gate)
 4. Run M2''' (throughput)
 5. If R''' < 1.0 → M4''' concurrent

 contracts). Cycle-1+2 RED patterns (write race, barrier UB,
 subgroup-ops table error) did not recur.
 **Phase 5 paid off again.** The RED would have caused a bit-exact
 mismatch on the first run with cryptic "high index source pixels are
 wrong" symptoms — likely 1-2 debug cycles to track down without the
 review.
 ## Review (verbatim)
 ````markdown
 ## Verdict
 PASS-WITH-REVISIONS — no RED-class correctness bugs. Two YELLOW findings
 require plan amendments before Phase 6 proceeds. ...
 [full review preserved — reviewer's RED finding 4 traces the off-by-3:
 shader's `src_off = block_base + 3` + `src_stride_u8 = 16` + reading
 `s[0..14]` causes high-index reads to spill into next row]

 *(Verbatim review in agent output; key findings paraphrased below.)*
 | # | Severity | Issue | Resolution |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | 1 (orientation) | GREEN | All 8 oN expressions stencil-aligned correctly | accepted |
 | 2 (filter LUT) | YELLOW | `const int FILTER_REGULAR[16][8]` may inflate uniform count or compile to large LUT | Phase 6 to record uniform count via `V3D_DEBUG=shaderdb`; if >~144 uniforms, escalate filter to SSBO binding 3 |
 | 3 (race safety) | GREEN-w/note | `stride ≥ 8` contract correct; phrasing softer than cycle-2 standard | applied: §5 MUST assert |
 | 4 (`src_off` semantics) | **RED** | Plan said "src_off mirrors src+3"; with stride=16 shader's `s13`/`s14` read into next row's first 2 bytes | **applied: src_off = raw block base (no +3 shift); shader reads s[0..14] from there** |
 | 5 (missing) | GREEN-w/note | Coefficient overflow safely fits int32 (worked bound); no missing barrier-UB or write-race issues | accepted |
 | 6 (assert MUST language) | YELLOW | "Bench enforces with asserts" softer than cycle-2 MUST pattern | applied: §5 MUST language |
 | 7 (no barrier OK) | GREEN | Cycle-1 finding-7 doesn't apply (no barrier) | accepted |
 | 8 (filter table matches) | GREEN | `vp9_mc_ref.c` filter values match `vp9_subpel_filters_table.c[1]` verbatim | accepted |
 ## Resolution (applied to phase4 inline)
 1. **§4** — Clarified `src_off` is the byte offset of the **first byte
   of the source block in the SSBO buffer** (NOT shifted by +3). The
   C bench's `src + 3` C-caller convention does NOT carry into the
   SSBO offset. Shader reads `s[k] = u_src.src[src_off + row*stride + k]`
   for k=0..14, which equals `master_src[block_base + row*stride + k]`,
   matching the C ref's per-row read of `master_src[block_base + row*stride + (x..x+7)]`
   for output col x ∈ 0..7.
 2. **§5** — Hardened "Bench enforces" to "Phase 6 MUST add
   `assert(dst_stride_u8 >= 8 && src_stride_u8 >= 15)` in
   `bench_v3d_mc.c`'s meta-construction loop." Cycle-2 finding-4
   pattern applied.
 3. **§5** — Added: "Phase 6 MUST run `V3D_DEBUG=shaderdb` after first
   compile and record uniform count. If uniform count > ~144,
   escalate filter to a dedicated SSBO binding 3."
 After revisions: **Phase 4''' APPROVED for Phase 6''' implementation.**

 ```
 **Phase 5''' finding 2 prediction confirmed**: filter LUT inflated
 uniforms to 197 (gate was at ~144). Compiler also forced to 2 threads
 (from cycle-2's 4) due to register pressure (25 max-temps vs cycle-2's
 21). The "no DP4A" structural deficit shows up directly here — 8
 SMUL24 + 7 ADD per output pixel × 64 pixels per block × 8-lane
 geometry = 488 instructions, 30× heavier than the LPF kernel.
 ## M4''' concurrent matrix (8s windows)

 | Mixed NEON-4 + QPU | 12.158 | 2.49 – 3.35 | −20.3 % | 12.5× |
 **M4 gate: FAIL.** Mixed (12.28) < pure NEON-4 (15.25) by 2.97
 Mblock/s. The QPU's 0.45 Mblock/s contribution under contention
 doesn't compensate for losing one NEON core that delivers ~3.8.
 ## Cross-cycle comparison
 | | Cycle 1 IDCT | Cycle 2 LPF | Cycle 3 MC |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | R isolation | 0.92 | 0.41 | **0.067** |
 | 30fps floor margin (isolation) | 7.9× | 10× | **1.5×** |
 | M4 mixed vs pure NEON-4 | +7.2 % | +6.9 % | **−19.5 %** |

 | Verdict for higgs | GO QPU | GO QPU | **STAY CPU** |
 | NEON 4-core scaling vs 1-core | 0.56× (bw-bound) | 0.82× (bw-bound) | **1.05× (compute-bound)** |
 The MC result is **structurally consistent** with the V3D substrate
 profile from `phase0.md`:
 - No DP4A → 8-wide convolution doesn't pack as it does on NEON SDOT
 - Filter coefficients drive uniform count high → register pressure → 2 threads
 - High per-output-pixel multiply count → compiled instruction count
  3× cycle 1, 6× cycle 2
 NEON 4-core is *compute*-bound for MC (not bandwidth-bound like
 the other two kernels). So 4-core scales nearly linearly with cores —
 the NEON CPU has plenty of headroom and the QPU has nothing to add
 even in concurrent mode.
 ## Deployment recipe (for higgs / libva-v4l2-request-fourier)
 Per `project_consumer_target.md`, the eventual integration target is
 V4L2 stateless → libva-v4l2-request-fourier → firefox-fourier. The
 back-end-on-QPU/CPU split for the consumed decoder pipeline:
 - **IDCT (cycle 1)** → QPU. R = 0.92, +7 % mixed, frees a CPU core.
 - **LPF (cycle 2)** → QPU. R = 0.41, +7 % mixed, frees a CPU core.
 - **MC (cycle 3)** → **CPU NEON baseline; QPU offload viable as
  opportunistic helper, not yet measured.** R = 0.067 in isolation
  was discouraging; M4 same-kernel mixed was −19.5 % which looks
  conclusive but isn't — see *M4 methodology caveat* below.
 - **Entropy** (VP9 Bool / AV1 ANS) → CPU. Structurally serial.
 This is a **mixed-substrate deployment**, not a "QPU does everything"
 plan. Realistic for higgs: entropy + MC on 2-3 ARM cores; IDCT + LPF
 dispatched to QPU concurrently; 1-2 ARM cores left for vscode / etc.
 ## M4 methodology caveat (added 2026-05-18 after cycle 5)
 The M4 mixed bench (`bench_concurrent_mc.c`) tests NEON-3 + QPU
 running the SAME kernel concurrently. This is the **worst case** for
 memory-bandwidth contention — both substrates competing for the same
 bus with the same access pattern.
 A real decoder pipeline has different shape: CPU runs entropy + MC
 + other CPU-bound work; QPU runs IDCT + LPF + (potentially) MC as
 opportunistic helper. **Different kernels on different substrates**
 contend less than same-kernel-on-both. Our M4-same-kernel result is
 a pessimistic lower bound, not the actual deployment number.
 Empirically supporting this: cycle 3 M4 showed per-core NEON
 throughput in 3-core mode (3.78-4.16 Mblock/s) was higher than in
 4-core mode (3.24-4.48), confirming bandwidth saturation at ≥4
 cores. So freeing 1 core via QPU offload costs ~25 % of total NEON
 MC throughput, but the QPU contributes 0.45 (-MC) or 1.4 (in CDEF
 isolation) on top.
 **To rigorously test the helper hypothesis**: see
 `docs/issues/003-mixed-kernel-m4-bench.md`. A bench that runs
 NEON-3 on kernel-A + QPU on kernel-B concurrently would close the
 question. ~½ day of additional bench work; would update the
 deployment recipe for cycles 3 + 5 if the result is positive.
 ### Issue 003 results (2026-05-18, closed)
 `bench_concurrent_mixed` matrix in `docs/issues/003-mixed-kernel-m4-bench.md`
 confirms the methodology critique:
 | QPU side | CPU MC agg | per-core MC | QPU contribution |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | MC (V3 control, same kernel) | 22.64 Mblock/s | 7.5 avg | 0.39 Mblock/s MC |
 | LPF4 real QPU (V4) | **27.87 Mblock/s** | **9.3 avg** | **12.74 Medge/s LPF4** |
 Switching QPU off MC (same kernel) onto LPF4 (a different
 bandwidth-bound kernel) gave CPU MC **+23 % per-core uplift**.
 V4 = the actual daedalus-fourier deployment shape (CPU MC + QPU
 LPF4), and both substrates were productive concurrently.
 **Cycle 3 MC verdict unchanged**: QPU MC contributes ~0.4
 Mblock/s under any contention scenario (V3, V5). The 4 NEON cores
 do MC dramatically better. **MC stays on CPU.** But the
 *deployment recipe overall* (cycle 1+2+4 on QPU, 3 on CPU) is
 validated by V4 as a positive-sum arrangement.
 ## Decision per Phase 1 rules + 30fps-floor calibration
 | Rule | Result | Status |
 |---|---|---|
 | M1''' bit-exact | 100.0000 % | ✓ PASS |
 | R''' = M2'''/M3''' | 0.067 (RED) | structural mismatch |
 | M4''' > pure-CPU 4-core | −19.5 % | ✗ FAIL gate |
 | 30fps@1080p floor (isolation) | 1.5× | ✓ PASS (user-facing) |
 | 30fps@1080p floor (mixed) | 12.6× | ✓ PASS (user-facing) |
 **Engineering cycle verdict: do not deploy MC on QPU; deploy on CPU.**
 **User-facing cycle verdict: 30fps floor easily met in any
 configuration; either path works for daily YouTube.**
 For the deployment recipe above, **MC stays on CPU**. The Phase 1
 ORANGE/RED "honest close" rule applies here: cycle 3 closes as a
 documented negative for this kernel without affecting the
 project-level "continue" verdict (cycles 1+2 GO results stand).
 ## Phase 9 lessons (added to project memory)
 1. **Multiply-heavy workloads expose V3D's no-DP4A deficit** in a way
   that cycle 1+2 didn't. CPU SDOT/UDOT pack 4 INT8 MACs in one
   instruction; V3D's SMUL24 is one scalar mult at a time. The 4×
   gap shows up directly as a 6-15× per-block slowdown.
 2. **Compute-bound CPU workloads make the QPU offload story collapse.**
   When NEON 4-core scales near-linearly (not bandwidth-saturated),
   the "freed-core" argument from cycle 1+2 doesn't apply — there
   are no free cycles to free. Mixed mode is strictly worse.
 3. **The 30fps@1080p user-facing test (`project_30fps_floor_is_fine.md`)
   passes regardless of engineering verdict.** All three cycles pass
   it in isolation. This is a project-level win to communicate
   separately from per-cycle engineering R numbers.
 4. **The shaderdb filter-LUT gate from phase5''' finding 2 fired
   exactly as predicted** (197 uniforms > 144 threshold; 2 threads
   instead of 4). This validates the cycle-discipline of running
   `V3D_DEBUG=shaderdb` early and using the result as an actionable
   gate. Cycle 4 (if any) should bake this in from Phase 4 §design.
 ## Leaves open
 - Cycle 3 v2 with filter LUT escalated to SSBO (per phase5''' finding 2
  trigger). Would reduce uniforms to ~30, potentially restore 4
  threads. Expected upside: ~2× → R''' = 0.13. Still RED, still M4-
  negative. Skipped — even doubling doesn't change the deployment
  recipe.
 - Vertical / hv / 4-tap / wider variants — all of cycle 3 same
  multiply-shape, same structural verdict expected. Not worth Phase
  1+ for those.
 - Cycle 4 candidates (per phase7_M4.md §"Cycle 3 candidates"):
  CDEF (AV1-only directional filter), Loop Restoration (AV1-only),
  or higgs deployment plumbing.

 # Cycle 4, Phases 1-3 — LPF wd=8
 Compact combined doc — cycle 4 is a *width extension* of cycle 2
 (same kernel family, same shape, same NEON file).
 ## Phase 1 — goal
 **Kernel**: VP9 loop filter, 8-tap inner-edge variant (wd=8), horizontal
 direction, 8-pixel edge. libavcodec symbol `ff_vp9_loop_filter_h_8_8_neon`
 (already in vendored `vp9lpf_neon.S`).
 **Why this kernel**: completes VP9 LPF coverage alongside cycle 2's
 wd=4. The wd=8 path adds the `flat8in` test (6 abs comparisons) and a
 6-pixel "flat region" write path — meaningfully more conditional
 branches than wd=4 within the same kernel family.
 **Measurable success** (cycle-4 numbering, `''''` superscript):
 | ID | Measurement | Gate |
 |---|---|---|
 | M1'''' | Bit-exact vs C reference | 100.0000 % |
 | M2'''' | QPU throughput Medge/s | recorded |
 | M3'''' | NEON `ff_vp9_loop_filter_h_8_8_neon` Medge/s | recorded |
 | M4'''' | Mixed NEON-3 + QPU vs pure NEON-4 (Medge/s) | recorded if YELLOW |
 Same R bands + 30fps-floor calibration as cycles 2/3.
 **Predicted R''''**: 0.3–0.5. Cycle 2 LPF wd=4 hit R=0.41; wd=8 adds
 ~20 % more conditional logic (flat8in test) and additional writes
 when flat8in passes. Likely modestly worse R than wd=4. The 6-write
 flat8in path under SIMD divergence may dominate.
 ## Phase 2 — situation
 C reference: `external/ffmpeg-snapshot/libavcodec/vp9dsp_template.c`,
 the same `loop_filter()` function (lines 1780-1898) used in cycle 2
 but invoked with wd=8 via the `lf_8_fn(h, 8, stride, 1)` macro
 instantiation. The wd=8 path activates the `if (wd >= 8 && flat8in)`
 branch.
 NEON reference: already vendored at
 `external/ffmpeg-snapshot/libavcodec/aarch64/vp9lpf_neon.S`,
 symbol `ff_vp9_loop_filter_h_8_8_neon`. Same calling convention
 as wd=4: `(uint8_t *dst, ptrdiff_t stride, int E, int I, int H)`.
 No new vendored sources needed.
 **Workload model per edge (worst case, flat8in passes):**
 - 8 rows × 6 written + 2 unwritten = 48 writes per edge (vs wd=4's 16-32)
 - 8 rows × 8 reads = 64 reads (same as wd=4)
 - ~12 abs+compares per row × 8 = ~96 per edge (vs wd=4's ~50)
 Memory traffic similar to cycle 2 (~80-110 bytes per edge).
 Compute moderately higher (more conditional branches + more writes
 when flat8in fires).

 # Cycle 4, Phases 4-7 — LPF wd=8
 Compact — straight extension of cycle 2 LPF. Phase 4 plan inherits
 all of cycle-2's geometry/contracts unchanged; only the per-thread
 algorithm changes (adds flat8in branch).
 ## Phase 4 — plan
 **Geometry**: identical to cycle 2 LPF (256 invocations/WG, 2 edges
 per subgroup, 8 lanes per edge, 32 edges per WG, oob early-return
 safe).
 **SSBO bindings**: identical to cycle 2 (meta uvec4, dst uint8_t).
 **Per-thread algorithm** — extends cycle 2 with flat8in:
 ```glsl
 // ... same lane/edge decomposition, base/E/I/H load, p3..q3 reads,
 //     fm test, !fm early return as cycle 2 ...
 bool flat8in = abs(p3-p0) <= 1 && abs(p2-p0) <= 1 &&
               abs(p1-p0) <= 1 && abs(q1-q0) <= 1 &&
               abs(q2-q0) <= 1 && abs(q3-q0) <= 1;
 if (flat8in) {
    /* 6-write flat-region filter */
    u_dst.dst[base-3u] = uint8_t((p3+p3+p3 + 2*p2 + p1+p0+q0 + 4) >> 3);
    u_dst.dst[base-2u] = uint8_t((p3+p3+p2 + 2*p1 + p0+q0+q1 + 4) >> 3);
    u_dst.dst[base-1u] = uint8_t((p3+p2+p1 + 2*p0 + q0+q1+q2 + 4) >> 3);
    u_dst.dst[base+0u] = uint8_t((p2+p1+p0 + 2*q0 + q1+q2+q3 + 4) >> 3);
    u_dst.dst[base+1u] = uint8_t((p1+p0+q0 + 2*q1 + q2+q3+q3 + 4) >> 3);
    u_dst.dst[base+2u] = uint8_t((p0+q0+q1 + 2*q2 + q3+q3+q3 + 4) >> 3);
 } else {
    /* same hev/no-hev paths as cycle 2 */
    bool hev = abs(p1-p0) > H || abs(q1-q0) > H;
    if (hev) { /* 2-write */ }
    else     { /* 4-write */ }
 }
 ```
 **Race safety**: flat8in path writes at `base-3..base+2` = 6
 contiguous bytes per row. **Updated contract** vs cycle 2:
 `dst_stride_u8 ≥ 6` (vs cycle 2's `≥ 4`). Bench uses stride=8,
 satisfies. Phase 6 MUST add `assert(dst_stride_u8 >= 6)`.
 **Predicted R''''**: 0.3–0.5 (similar to wd=4's 0.41). The flat8in
 write-on-pass path has 50 % more writes than wd=4's no-hev path,
 but if flat8in passes rarely under random distributions, it's a
 small perturbation.
 ## Phase 5 — review (skipped — incremental extension)
 Cycle-2's phase5 review remains the relevant outside-look. The
 specific delta from cycle 2 to cycle 4:
 - Added flat8in branch + 6 writes
 - Stride contract relaxed-tightened from ≥4 to ≥6
 - Same geometry, same SSBOs, same race-safety pattern
 The cycle-2 review's two RED-pattern checks (write race, barrier UB)
 remain satisfied because the geometry is unchanged. The new
 arithmetic is mechanically transcribed from `vp9_lpf8_ref.c` —
 risk of orientation/arithmetic bug is concrete but contained; M1''''
 is the immediate gate.
 **Justification for skipping fresh-context review**: cycle 4 changes
 ~30 lines of one shader and inherits everything else from cycle 2.
 Per dev_process.md "Skipping phases is a deliberate choice that
 should be flagged, not a default" — flagging here. If M1'''' fails
 on first run, restart with full Phase 5'''' review.
 ## Phase 6 — implementation
 (executed below — `src/v3d_lpf_h_8_8.comp` + `tests/bench_v3d_lpf8.c`)

 shaderdb: **231 inst, 4 threads, 0 spills, 27 max-temps, 48 uniforms.**
 The 4-thread result is the meaningful one — compiler delivered. The
 wd=8 kernel runs at the latency-hiding ceiling from v1.
 ### M4'''' concurrent (8s windows)
 | Config | Medge/s | vs NEON-4 | 30fps margin |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | **NEON 4-core** | **37.823** | baseline | 19.5× |
 | QPU only | 14.867 | — | 7.7× |
 | **MIXED NEON-3 + QPU** | **39.389** | **+4.1 %** | 20.3× |
 **M4'''' PASSES**. The freed-core pattern from cycles 1+2 holds for
 wd=8 — smaller delta than wd=4 (+4.1 % vs +6.9 %) but still positive.
 The larger conditional logic (flat8in path) dilutes per-edge QPU
 contribution under contention (3.98 vs cycle-2's 4.00 — basically
 same), and NEON-4 baseline is higher (37.8 vs cycle-2's 33.7) because
 the per-edge NEON cost is slightly lower for wd=8 (19.1 vs cycle-2's
 20.7 ns), so the relative gain shrinks.
 ### Cross-cycle LPF comparison

 | M4 delta | **+6.9 %** | **+4.1 %** |
 | 30fps margin (mixed) | 7.2× | 20.3× |
 | Verdict | GO QPU | GO QPU |
 ### Decision per Phase 1 rules + 30fps floor
 | Rule | Result | Status |
 |---|---|---|
 | M1'''' bit-exact | 100.0000 % | ✓ PASS |
 | R'''' = M2''''/M3'''' | 0.341 (ORANGE) | does not auto-close |
 | M4'''' > pure NEON-4 | +4.1 % | ✓ PASS gate |
 | 30fps@1080p floor | 20.3× mixed | ✓ PASS user-facing |
 **Verdict: YELLOW-via-M4'''' PASS. Deploy wd=8 LPF on QPU,
 alongside cycle-2 wd=4.** Combined VP9 LPF coverage = wd=4 + wd=8
 on QPU.
 ### Phase 9 lessons
 1. Width extensions of a known-working kernel (wd=4 → wd=8) inherit
   the pattern reliably. v1 first-light hit M1'''' = 100 % first try
   on a 30-line shader delta. No iteration needed.
 2. **Phase 5 review can be skipped for incremental extensions** —
   when the delta is < ~30 lines and the cycle-2 review's pattern
   coverage still applies. Flagged explicitly in §"Phase 5 — review
   (skipped)". If M1 had failed, restart with full review. Cycle 5+
   should restore mandatory review for non-incremental work.
 3. NEON gets faster per edge as filter width grows (20.7 → 19.1 ns
   wd=4 → wd=8). The NEON implementation is heavily optimised; the
   relative QPU loss grows with kernel width. Cycle 5 wd=16 would
   probably show further R degradation.
 4. M4 delta is the gating metric for ORANGE-band kernels. The gap
   from cycle-2 +6.9 % to cycle-4 +4.1 % indicates "wd=8 is borderline
   useful on QPU; wd=16 may flip negative."
 ### Leaves open
 - LPF wd=16 (cycle 5 if VP9 coverage requires it; likely RED based on
  the trend line)
 - Vertical variants of both wd=4 and wd=8 (different memory pattern)
 - CDEF / loop restoration (AV1 kernels)
 - Phase 8 deployment plumbing (libva-v4l2-request-fourier integration)

 convention of LPF (E/I/H) and MC (mx).
 **NEON symbol target**: `dav1d_cdef_filter8_pri_sec_8bpc_neon` (combined
 primary + secondary filter). There are also `_pri_` and `_sec_` only
 variants for the cases where one strength is 0; for the bench we
 cover the worst case (both active).
 **C reference**: `cdef_filter_block_8x8_c` from `dav1d/src/cdef_tmpl.c`
 (macro-expanded), delegating to `cdef_filter_block_c`. Spec source:
 AV1 specification §7.15 (CDEF).
 ### Measurable success (cycle-5 numbering, `5` superscript)
 | ID | Measurement | Gate |
 |---|---|---|
 | M1₅ | bit-exact vs C ref, N random 8×8 blocks across all 8 directions × various strengths | 100.0000 % |
 | M2₅ | QPU throughput Mblock/s | recorded |
 | M3₅ | NEON `dav1d_cdef_filter8_pri_sec_8bpc_neon` Mblock/s | recorded |
 | M4₅ | mixed NEON-3 + QPU vs pure NEON-4 (if YELLOW/ORANGE band) | conditional |
 ### Decision bands (carried)
 Same R bands and 30fps-floor calibration as cycles 1-4.
 ### Predicted R₅
 The CDEF filter is **compute-heavier than LPF**:
 - Per pixel: 8 constraint applications (abs + min + max + sign-restore)
  plus the per-pixel accumulation with min/max tracking
 - Per 8×8 block: ~32 mults (small constants 1-4) + many adds + many
  conditionals
 - Memory: 12×12 padded source = 144 reads + 64 writes = 208 B/block
  (vs LPF's ~88 B and MC's ~184 B)
 - No DP4A applicability (the multipliers are small constants, but
  the constraint function dominates)
 **Predicted R₅ band**: 0.15-0.30 (ORANGE). The constraint function's
 per-pixel min/max conditional logic is heavier than LPF's per-row
 fm/flat tests. Compute-bound on QPU. M4 may still rescue per
 cycle-1+2 pattern.
 ### NEW for cycle 5
 - **First AV1 kernel** → expands codec coverage beyond VP9
 - **First dav1d-vendored source** → new external/ subdirectory:
  `external/dav1d-snapshot/` (BSD-2-Clause; clean license vs LGPL
  FFmpeg)
 - **First kernel needing external padding context** — CDEF reads
  beyond the 8×8 block (2-pixel halo on each side); dav1d's C
  reference uses pre-padded `tmp_buf[12×12]` constructed by a
  separate `padding()` function from left/top/bottom edge arrays.
  Our bench will construct this padding inline for each random
  block.
 ## Phase 2 — situation analysis
 ### C reference structure (dav1d)
 `cdef_filter_block_8x8_c` signature:
 ```c
 void cdef_filter_block_8x8_c(pixel *dst, ptrdiff_t stride,
                             const pixel (*left)[2],
                             const pixel *top, const pixel *bottom,
                             int pri_strength, int sec_strength,
                             int dir, int damping,
                             enum CdefEdgeFlags edges);
 ```
 The function:
 1. Allocates `int16_t tmp_buf[144]` (12×12 working buffer)
 2. Calls `padding()` to fill from left/top/bottom + dst with edge-replicate
 3. Iterates 8 rows × 8 cols; per pixel:
   - Looks up direction offsets: `dav1d_cdef_directions[dir+offset][k]`
   - For each of 4 primary tap positions (k=0..1, both signs):
     compute pri-constrained diff, multiply by tap weight, accumulate
   - For each of 4 secondary tap positions (k=0..1, both signs,
     two adjacent directions):
     same with sec weights
   - Track min/max across all sampled neighbours
   - Output: `iclip(px + ((sum - (sum < 0) + 8) >> 4), min, max)`
 The "constraint" function:
 ```c
 static inline int constrain(int diff, int threshold, int shift) {
    int adiff = abs(diff);
    return apply_sign(imin(adiff, imax(0, threshold - (adiff >> shift))),
                      diff);
 }
 ```
 This is the per-pixel-pair clamp that makes CDEF *constrained*
 (directional enhancement that can't exceed a threshold tied to
 local strength).
 ### Tables needed
 - `dav1d_cdef_directions[12][2]` — 12 directions (8 + 4 wrap-arounds),
  each a (y_offset, x_offset) pair. In `dav1d/src/tables.c`.
 - `dav1d_cdef_pri_taps[2][2]` — primary tap weights, indexed by
  `(pri_strength & 1)` and tap position k. Small ints.
 - `dav1d_cdef_sec_taps[2]` — secondary tap weights, just 2 entries.
 ### NEON reference structure (dav1d)
 `dav1d_cdef_filter8_pri_sec_8bpc_neon` signature:
 ```
 x0: dst         pixel buffer
 x1: dst_stride  ptrdiff_t
 x2: tmp         uint8_t source (the pre-padded 12×12 buffer reinterpreted)
 w3: pri_strength
 w4: sec_strength
 w5: dir
 w6: damping
 w7: h           height (8 for 8×8)
 ```
 Notable: dav1d's NEON takes the already-padded `tmp` buffer pointer
 (after the C side did `padding()`). So our bench needs to construct
 the padded buffer per block.
 Padded buffer layout (12×12, int16 elements):
 - Real pixel region at rows [2..9], cols [2..9] (the 8×8 dst)
 - Halo at rows {0,1,10,11} and cols {0,1,10,11}: either edge-replicate
  from adjacent block (if edges flag set) or INT16_MIN (which the
  constraint function treats as "skip this neighbour")
 ### Vendoring plan
 New directory: `external/dav1d-snapshot/` (BSD-2-Clause, separate
 PROVENANCE.md from FFmpeg pin).
 Files to vendor from dav1d 1.4.3:
 1. `src/arm/64/cdef.S` — main NEON file (~870 lines)
 2. `src/arm/64/util.S` — helper macros referenced by cdef.S
 3. `src/arm/asm.S` — top-level macros (function, endfunc, etc.)
 4. `src/cdef_tmpl.c` — C reference (~250 lines)
 5. `src/tables.c` — the static tables (cdef_directions, pri/sec taps)
   *or* hand-extract just the CDEF tables (~50 lines)
 6. `include/common/intops.h` — apply_sign, imin, imax, iclip helpers
 7. A standalone PROVENANCE.md with pin + SHA-256s
 dav1d's asm preamble may need its own config.h shim (different
 defines than FFmpeg's). Phase 6 setup will identify exact needs.
 ### Build path
 dav1d's asm uses similar GAS preamble to FFmpeg's. The config
 defines are different: `ARCH_AARCH64`, `HAVE_AS_FUNC`, etc., but
 also dav1d-specific like `PRIVATE_PREFIX dav1d_` and `EXTERN_ASM ` (same
 empty for ELF as in cycle 1).
 ### What Phase 2 does *not* close
 - The exact list of dav1d asm.S macros needed (will surface during
  first build attempt)
 - C reference completeness — `padding()` setup logic is non-trivial
  (handles edges/CdefEdgeFlags = combinations of HAVE_LEFT, HAVE_TOP,
  HAVE_RIGHT, HAVE_BOTTOM). For the bench, we can simplify by
  always passing "all edges valid" with synthetic neighbouring pixels.
 - Direction validation — directions 0..7 should all be tested for
  bit-exactness; an off-by-one in the direction-offset table would
  be caught by M1.
 Phase 3 next: vendor the dav1d files, write standalone C ref +
 bench, capture M3₅ NEON baseline.
 This is **the first multi-session cycle** — Phase 3+ likely lands
 in next session. Cycle setup commit at end of this session.

 # Cycle 5, Phase 3 — CDEF NEON baseline (closed)
 Supersedes `k5_cdef_phase3_partial.md`. The M1 deferral from the
 partial doc resolved as a **one-line bench bug**, not a layout
 ambiguity in dav1d's NEON.
 ## Root cause of the previous "layout mismatch"
 `tests/cdef_ref.c` line 104 internally advances `tmp += 2*16+2`
 (skips the padding region) before reading block data. `dav1d_cdef_
 filter8_8bpc_neon` expects the *caller* to pass that already-advanced
 pointer (i.e., pointer to the 8×8 block origin, not the padded
 buffer origin). The bench was passing the raw padded-buffer pointer
 to NEON, so NEON filtered a block shifted (+2 rows, +2 cols) from
 where the C ref filtered. The "same 6 bytes at a different position"
 trace in the partial doc is exactly that diagonal shift.
 Fix: `tmps + i*TMP_INTS + (2 * TMP_W + 2)` for the NEON call.
 Three-line patch in `tests/bench_neon_cdef.c`.
 ## M1₅ bit-exact gate
 ```
 === M1₅_c bit-exact (10000 random 8x8 blocks) ===
 M1₅_c correctness: 10000 / 10000 blocks bit-exact (100.0000%)
  dir coverage: min=1194 max=1332 (8 directions sampled)
 ```
 All 8 directions exercised, distribution flat. **M1 gate PASS.**
 ## M3₅ NEON throughput
 ```
 === M3₅ NEON throughput ===
  blocks/batch:    4096
  batches done:    1801
  total blocks:    7 376 896
  elapsed (kernel)=1.937 s
  throughput      = 3.809 Mblock/s
  per-block       = 262.5 ns
  equiv 1080p     = 117.6 FPS  (32 400 blocks/frame)
 ```
 Consistent with the previously captured 3.923 Mblock/s (longer
 window). Per-block ~260 ns. **CDEF remains the most compute-
 intensive kernel cycle so far** (2.1× IDCT, 13× LPF wd=4,
 5.5× MC).
 | | per-block ns | relative |
 |---|---|---|
 | IDCT 8×8 (k1) | 122 | 1.0× |
 | LPF wd=4 (k2) | 20.7 | 0.17× |
 | MC 8h (k3) | 47.6 | 0.39× |
 | LPF wd=8 (k4) | 19.1 | 0.16× |
 | **CDEF (k5)** | **262.5** | **2.15×** |
 30fps@1080p floor margin: **3.9×** isolation NEON single-core.
 NEON-4 baseline would be ~12-15 Mblock/s → 12-15× margin.
 ## Methodology lessons
 1. **Inverted-bench bugs look like layout mismatches.** The original
   diagnosis ("dav1d's NEON expects tmp built by a specific
   `dav1d_cdef_padding8_8bpc_neon` routine") was wrong; the
   filter accepts any uint16 tmp content (the pri+sec algorithm
   doesn't care if the halo is padded with sentinels or random
   pixels, as long as the constrain() math gets passed). The
   issue was *which 8×8 region NEON would filter*, not the
   semantics of the halo.
 2. **Two pointer conventions for the same buffer**: the C ref
   does "internal advance" (caller passes padded-buffer origin),
   the NEON does "external advance" (caller passes block origin).
   Trace evidence (a diagonal shift in the output) is diagnostic
   of pointer-convention mismatch.
 3. **dav1d_cdef_padding8_8bpc_neon** is for sentinel-padded edge
   cases (when the block is at the picture boundary). For a
   middle-of-picture block where all neighbours exist, the NEON
   filter is happy to read raw pixel values; the constrain() math
   naturally handles any halo content.
 ## What lands in this commit
 - `tests/bench_neon_cdef.c`: 3-line fix (tmp+34 for NEON calls)
 - `docs/k5_cdef_phase3.md` (this doc) supersedes
  `k5_cdef_phase3_partial.md`
 ## Phase 4 unblocked
 Predicted R₅ (from `k5_cdef_phase3_partial.md`):
 - CDEF is ~5× heavier per-block than MC on NEON (262 vs 48 ns)
 - NEON ~5× per-core advantage on MC → QPU likely ~25× behind on CDEF
 - R₅ isolation estimate: **0.02-0.05 (deep RED)**
 Issue 003 V1/V2 NEON-fallback proxy showed that a 4th NEON core
 running CDEF adds 1.7 Mblock/s of CDEF helper without crushing
 the other 3 cores. Real QPU CDEF is predicted at ~0.2 Mblock/s
 (an order of magnitude below the NEON-fallback proxy).
 **Phase 4 plan rationale**: even predicted RED, build the QPU
 CDEF kernel because:
 - Confirms or refutes the R₅ 0.02-0.05 prediction with real data
 - Completes the cycle 5 record (Phases 1-7 all closed)
 - Provides the QPU CDEF dispatch path needed for the V4L2 wrapper
  to *exist* (Phase 8), even if scheduler doesn't enqueue it by
  default
 Expected Phase 4 effort: 2-3 hours given the kernel shape is
 similar to cycle 2/4 LPF (per-block stencil with table lookups
 for directions; primary + secondary tap accumulation).

 Cycle 5 Phase 3 captured **M3₅ throughput** but **M1 bit-exact gate

 single CPU core comfortably exceeds the user-facing test alone.
 ## M1 known-issue (deferred to next session)
 The bit-exact gate against my standalone C reference fails. The
 output structure (NEON vs C ref) shows the NEON producing
 algorithmically-correct-looking pixel values, but at a SHIFTED
 (row, col) offset within dst. Trace evidence:
 > neon row 5, cols 2-7 = `90 213 247 143 95 76`  
 > C ref row 3, cols 0-5 = `90 213 247 143 95 76`
 — same 6-byte sequence at an offset of (+2 rows, -2 cols) =
 (+2×8 + (-2)) = +14 byte stride mismatch. The smoking gun is that
 dav1d's NEON expects tmp built by a specific
 `dav1d_cdef_padding8_8bpc_neon` routine (different from the C-side
 `padding()` function), and my manual tmp construction doesn't match
 that convention.
 **Resolution paths** (next session):
 1. **Call dav1d's NEON padding function** to construct tmp from
   dst+left+top+bottom random inputs. Then the filter reads it
   with the right layout. Adds another extern symbol to bind.
 2. **Vendor `dav1d_cdef_filter_block_8x8_c` from dav1d's C-side**
   (with templated headers shimmed). Compare NEON output against
   dav1d's *own* C, not my standalone transcription. Eliminates the
   layout-shim ambiguity entirely.
 3. Inspect `dav1d_cdef_padding8_8bpc_neon` output for one block,
   reverse-engineer the layout, update standalone C ref to match.
 Path 1 is probably simplest. The padding function signature
 (inferred from cdef.S `padding_func` macro):
 ```
 void cdef_padding8_8bpc_neon(uint16_t *tmp, const uint8_t *src,
                             ptrdiff_t src_stride,
                             const uint8_t (*left)[2],
                             const uint8_t *top, const uint8_t *bottom,
                             int h, size_t edges);
 ```
 Phase 3 closure requires M1 bit-exact verified.
 ## Phase 4-7 deferred
 Without M1 verified, can't safely build the QPU shader (would have
 no correctness gate against the NEON path either, and we'd be
 chasing two layout issues simultaneously).
 **Predicted R₅** (extrapolating from cycle 3 MC):
 - CDEF is ~5× heavier per-block than MC on NEON (254 vs 47 ns)
 - NEON ~5× advantage → QPU likely ~25× behind
 - R₅ isolation estimate: **0.02-0.05 (deep RED)**
 - M4₅ mixed: very likely negative (deeper than cycle 3 MC's -19.5%)
 - 30fps floor: still PASS on isolation+mixed since NEON 4-core
  baseline likely 12+ Mblock/s, comfortably above 0.972
 **Deployment recommendation** (updated 2026-05-18 after Issue 003
 closed; Phase 4-7 still deferred): **CDEF baseline = CPU, QPU
 offload path should exist in V4L2 wrapper but only enqueue when
 IDCT+LPF queue is empty**.
 `bench_concurrent_mixed` V1 (NEON-3 MC + NEON-core-3 CDEF
 fallback) and V2 (NEON-3 LPF4 + NEON-core-3 CDEF fallback)
 results:
 | Variant | CPU side | CPU agg | NEON-core-3 CDEF |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | V1 | MC NEON-3 | 24.49 Mblock/s | 1.75 Mblock/s |
 | V2 | LPF4 NEON-3 | 27.28 Medge/s | 1.70 Mblock/s |
 The proxy (NEON-on-core-3 doing CDEF) adds 1.7-1.75 Mblock/s of
 CDEF work without crushing the other 3 cores' main work. CPU
 aggregate stays close to single-kernel 4-core levels. Real QPU
 CDEF (when cycle 5 Phase 6 lands) would substitute the QPU for
 core 3; the QPU contribution is predicted R₅ = 0.02-0.05 →
 ~0.2 Mblock/s (much less than the NEON-fallback proxy).
 The opportunistic-helper hypothesis is **plausible but not
 fully validated** for the actual QPU substrate. Conservative read:
 The **bandwidth-bound vs compute-bound classification rule** still
 holds at the kernel level, but its mapping to deployment is more
 nuanced than "compute-bound → never QPU." Better framing:
 - **Bandwidth-bound on QPU** → **definitive** QPU offload (cycle 1+2+4)
 - **Compute-bound on QPU** → **opportunistic** QPU helper if pipeline
  has bandwidth-light CPU work running concurrently (cycle 3+5,
  needs Issue 003 measurement to confirm)
 ## Phase 9 lessons (provisional)
 1. **Vendoring from a SECOND upstream (dav1d after FFmpeg) added
   non-trivial layout-convention friction.** Different projects make
   different optimisation tradeoffs (dav1d NEON uses stride-16 tmp
   for vector-load alignment; dav1d C uses stride-12 because it
   doesn't matter for scalar code). Standalone C ref had to be
   re-fit to match NEON layout, not just transcribe C.
 2. **Two different `dav1d_cdef_directions` tables in dav1d**:
   stride-12 in `src/tables.c` (used by C path), stride-16 in
   `src/arm/64/cdef_tmpl.S` (used by NEON path). I initially vendored
   the C-side table; should have used the NEON-side embedded version
   for matching against NEON.
 3. **Bit-exact gate fundamentally requires the standalone C ref to
   match the actual NEON call convention exactly.** When the layout
   convention differs (as here), no amount of correct algorithm
   transcription saves you. The cleanest fix is to either run
   dav1d's own C ref (vendor more headers) or use dav1d's NEON
   padding to construct tmp.
 ## What lands in this commit
 - `external/dav1d-snapshot/src/arm/64/cdef_tmpl.S` (additional
  vendored file, needed for cdef.S to include)
 - `tests/cdef_ref.c` — standalone C ref (algorithmically correct,

 # Cycle 5, Phase 4 — QPU CDEF shader plan
 Plan a Vulkan compute shader for the AV1 CDEF primary+secondary
 8×8 luma filter on V3D 7.1. Predicted **deep RED** (R₅ = 0.02-0.05);
 plan + build it anyway because:
 - Confirms the prediction with measured data (or refutes it).
 - Provides the dispatch path needed for Phase 8 V4L2 wrapper.
 - Closes cycle 5 (Phases 1-7 all on the record).
 ## Kernel shape (NEON reference: 263 ns/block)
 Per 8×8 output block: 8 directions table, 2 offsets each. For
 each output pixel:
 - 2 primary taps (off1, -off1) using `dir`
 - 4 secondary taps (off2, -off2, off3, -off3) using `(dir+2)%8` and `(dir-2+8)%8`
 - For each of 2 k-rounds (different tap weights)
 - 12 `constrain()` ops per pixel × 64 pixels = **768 constrain ops per block**
 - Plus min/max bookkeeping for iclip
 The constrain math:
 ```
 diff = p - px;
 adiff = abs(diff);
 clip = max(0, threshold - (adiff >> shift));
 constrained = sign(diff) * min(adiff, clip);
 sum += tap * constrained;
 ```
 Output: `dst[r,c] = clamp(px + ((sum - (sum<0) + 8) >> 4), min, max);`
 ## V3D substrate fit (phase0 constraints)
 - **No DP4A**: each constrain is scalar int math; no vector packing
  helps (per cycle 3 MC finding). Predicted instruction count
  proportional to ops.
 - **16KB shared**: not needed — each pixel computes independently;
  no row sharing in compute side (tmp is read-only input).
 - **subgroupSize=16**: 1 pixel per lane × 16 lanes/sg = 16 pixels
  per sg. Block of 64 pixels = 4 sg slots. Better: 2 blocks per
  WG of 256 invocations (16 sg) → 256 pixels = 4 blocks per WG.
  Following cycle-2 pattern: aim for **64 blocks/WG**? Too high
  — 64 × 64 = 4096 pixels/WG → 256 lanes × 16 pixels/lane.
  Wait — 256 lanes total, 1 pixel/lane → 256 pixels = 4 blocks/WG.
  Settle on **4 blocks/WG**, 256 invocations.
 - **≤8 SSBO**: need 3 (meta, tmp, dst). Comfortable.
 - **No shaderFloat16/Int8 ALU**: int math everywhere. uint8 dst
  via storageBuffer8BitAccess (cycle-1 v4 pattern).
 ## SSBO layout (post Phase 5 RED-1 fix)
 - `Meta[i]`: `uvec4(dst_off_bytes, params0, tmp_off_u16, dir)` —
  i.e. `m.x` = dst_off, `m.y` = params (pri | sec << 8 |
  damping << 16), `m.z` = tmp block-origin u16-element offset,
  `m.w` = dir (3 bits used). **Pseudo-code below uses this
  layout consistently.**
 - `Tmp[]`: `uint16_t` array via `GL_EXT_shader_16bit_storage` +
  `storageBuffer16BitAccess` — both already enabled in
  `v3d_runner.c` and used by cycle 1 IDCT shader. No uncertainty.
 - `Dst[]`: `uint8_t` array via `GL_EXT_shader_8bit_storage` (per
  cycle-1 v4 pattern).
 ## Lane decomposition
 256 invocations / WG, 4 blocks/WG:
 - `lane_in_wg = 0..255`
 - `block_in_wg = lane_in_wg / 64` (0..3)
 - `pixel_in_block = lane_in_wg & 63` (0..63 → row=>>3, col=&7)
 - `block_idx = wg_id * 4 + block_in_wg`
 No barrier needed; each pixel computes independently.
 ## Push constants
 ```glsl
 layout(push_constant) uniform PC {
    uint n_blocks;
    uint tmp_stride_u16;   // = 16
    uint dst_stride_u8;

 ## Directions table (post Phase 5 RED-3 fix)
 Use `const ivec2 dirs[14]` (8 directions + 6 wrap copies), each
 entry = `(off_k0, off_k1)`. Signed-int storage handles negative
 offsets cleanly without manual sign-extension. The OR-pack
 approach proposed earlier would corrupt negative offsets;
 abandoned.
 Values from `tests/cdef_ref.c` `neon_directions8[14][2]`:
 ```
 dirs[ 0] = ivec2(-1*16+1, -2*16+2)  // (-15, -30)
 dirs[ 1] = ivec2( 0*16+1, -1*16+2)  // (1, -14)
 ... (etc.)
 ```

    int pri_idx = dir;
    int sec1_idx = (dir + 2) & 7;
    int sec2_idx = (dir + 6) & 7;
    // k=0
    {
        int off = dirs_off1[pri_idx];
        int p0 = int(u_tmp.tmp[tmp_off + off]);

    int out = clamp(px + adj, mn, mx);
    u_dst.dst[dst_off] = uint8_t(out);

 ```
 Note: dirs_off1/dirs_off2 are per-k-round offsets. For k=0 use
 `*[idx][0]` (the "+1 row" component); for k=1 use `*[idx][1]`
 (the "+2 rows" component).
 ## Throughput prediction
 NEON 1-core: 3.81 Mblock/s = 262 ns/block.
 V3D 7.1 compute estimate (per cycle 3 MC pattern):
 - 12 constrain ops × 8 SMUL24+ADD per constrain = ~96 instructions per pixel
 - 64 pixels per block, 4 blocks/WG → 256 lanes work in parallel
 - Per-block QPU latency ≈ instruction count / lanes × cycle time
 - Predicted: ~5000-8000 ns per block → 0.125-0.2 Mblock/s
 - R₅ = 0.125 / 3.81 = **0.033** (deep RED, matches prediction)
 shaderdb prediction:
 - ~800-1200 instructions (similar shape to cycle 1 IDCT, more
  ops though)
 - 2-4 threads (if uniform count stays < 144 per phase5''' finding 2)
 - uniform count: 14 entries × 2 offsets = 28; + tap weights 4
  = small. Should stay well below threshold. Predict 4 threads.
 ## Phase 5 review applied (2026-05-18, Sonnet)
 REDs fixed inline above:
 - RED-1: meta field layout — `m.z = tmp_off`, `m.w = dir` (was swapped).
 - RED-2: `sec_shift = max(0, ...)` to match NEON's `uqsub` saturation.
 - RED-3: directions table is `const ivec2 dirs[14]`, not packed.
 YELLOWs accepted:
 - YELLOW-1: Phase 6 bench is **3-way M1 (QPU vs NEON vs C ref)**, not 2-way.
 - YELLOW-2: 16-bit storage extension confirmed present (cycle-1 already uses it).
 - YELLOW-3: `sec_tap0 = 2, sec_tap1 = 1` made explicit in shader.
 - YELLOW-4: use `gl_WorkGroupID.x` directly, not `gid / 256u`.
 **Also**: also clamp `sec_shift` in `tests/cdef_ref.c` (currently
 unguarded; M1 gate passes by bench-param luck — params don't
 exercise negative shift). Fix C ref + add negative-shift cases to
 bench param generator so the 3-way M1 actually stresses the
 edge case.
 ## Phase 5 review focus
 Particular review items for the Phase 5 second-model audit:
 1. **Sentinel handling**: when reading from tmp halo, raw uint16
   values could be 0x8000 (INT16_MIN sentinel from padding) for
   real picture-boundary blocks. Our cycle 5 bench uses random
   pixel values (no sentinels), but a production deployment would
   pass through padded blocks. The constrain() math naturally
   handles INT16_MIN-as-uint16=32768 (clip becomes 0), BUT the
   `min(mn, p)` should use UNSIGNED compare and `max(mx, p)`
   should use SIGNED compare to match NEON. GLSL's `min`/`max`
   on `int` is signed; need separate `umin` (or cast to uint).
   Concretely: `mn = int(min(uint(mn), uint(p)))`,
   `mx = max(mx, int(int16_t(p)))`.
 2. **OOB read on direction taps**: for blocks near the picture
   edge, the direction offsets reach into the halo. Our bench
   uses random pixels there (valid uint8). For deployment with
   sentinels, we need to either (a) zero-out halo values that are
   sentinels before reading or (b) accept the constrain-math-
   handles-it argument.
 3. **Tmp stride**: must equal 16 (stride_u16=16) to match the
   directions table that's baked at stride 16. push constant
   `tmp_stride_u16` should be const or asserted = 16 in bench.
 4. **dst_stride_u8**: cycle-2 LPF used dst_stride_u8 = 8 (for
   isolated blocks). Same here. Production deployment with real
   picture strides (e.g. 1920) would need re-validation.
 5. **Push-constant meta size**: m.z carries dir (only 3 bits used);
   could be packed into params0. But current layout simple, leave
   as-is.
 ## Acceptance criteria
 - shaderdb predicted ≤ 1200 inst, ≥ 2 threads, ≤ 30 uniforms, no
  spills.
 - M1 bit-exact (use the same bench setup as Phase 3 but compare
  QPU output vs NEON output).
 - M2 captured (any number, even deep RED).
 - M4 measured against pure-NEON-4 baseline (expected: negative,
  per same-kernel pattern); cross-reference Issue 003 V1/V2 for
  the mixed-kernel context.
 ## Estimated effort
 2-3 hours for the shader; 30 min for the M2 bench; 30 min for
 M4. Total: ~4 hours, then Phase 7 closure.

 # Cycle 5, Phase 7 — Verification (CDEF on V3D)
 ## Phase 6 deliverable
 - `src/v3d_cdef.comp` — 256 inv/WG, 4 blocks/WG, no barrier,
  uint16 tmp via `GL_EXT_shader_16bit_storage`, uint8 dst.
 - `tests/bench_v3d_cdef.c` — 3-way M1 (QPU vs C ref vs NEON) per

 - `tests/bench_concurrent_mixed.c` extended with K_CDEF on both
  CPU and QPU sides for M4.
 shaderdb:
 ```
 SHADER-DB-4a79c02a... 387 inst, 2 threads, 0 loops, 133 uniforms,
  21 max-temps, 0:0 spills:fills, 0 sfu-stalls, 5 nops
 ```
 2 threads (not 4 as plan hoped) — register pressure same as
 cycle 3 MC. 133 uniforms under the 144 gate. No spills.
 ## M1 — 3-way bit-exact
 ```
 === M1₅: QPU vs C-ref vs NEON 3-way ===
  C ref vs NEON parity check: 0/4096 mismatches
  QPU vs C ref: 4096 / 4096 blocks bit-exact (100.0000%)
  QPU vs NEON:  4096 / 4096 blocks bit-exact (100.0000%)
 ```
 All three implementations agree. Phase 5 RED-1, RED-2, RED-3 fixes
 verified (meta layout, sec_shift clamp, ivec2 dirs table).
 ## M2 — QPU throughput
 ```
 === M2₅: QPU throughput ===
  blocks/dispatch: 4096
  iters:           50
  total blocks:    204 800
  elapsed (kernel)=0.462 s
  M2₅ throughput  = 0.443 Mblock/s
  per-block       = 2256.1 ns
  per-dispatch    = 9241.0 us
 ```
 R₅ = 0.443 / 3.809 = **0.116 → ORANGE band**.
 **Better than predicted** (Phase 4 estimated R₅ = 0.02-0.05, deep
 RED). The prediction was extrapolated from cycle 3 MC's R₃ = 0.067
 × scaling for higher per-block compute weight. The actual QPU
 overhead per block (387 inst at 2 threads) doesn't scale as
 badly as that linear projection suggested — likely because
 the constrain() inner loop has less filter-coefficient overhead
 than MC's 8-tap subpel and the 16-bit tmp loads are well-suited
 to the V3D 7.1 storage path.
 30fps@1080p floor: 0.443 / 0.972 = **0.46× margin (isolation)**.
 **Below the user-facing floor as sole substrate.** But CDEF is
 not commonly applied to every block in real video — it's
 strength-gated per superblock. Effective CDEF rate in real
 content is often < 0.5 Mblock/s. Within reach.
 ## M4 — concurrent matrix
 All windows 6 s, hertz, `bench_concurrent_mixed`.
 ### M4 same-kernel (cycle 5 closure)
 | Config | CPU CDEF agg | QPU CDEF | total | per-core CPU |
 |---|---|---|---|---|
 | **NEON-3 + QPU** | 8.080 | 0.381 | 8.461 | 2.69 avg |
 | **NEON-4 + QPU** | 7.866 | 0.385 | 8.251 | 1.97 avg |
 NEON-3 + QPU > NEON-4 + QPU (8.46 > 8.25). NEON CDEF is
 **bandwidth-saturated at 4 cores** despite per-block compute
 weight (262 ns) suggesting compute-bound — the per-core
 throughput drop from 2.69 (NEON-3) to 1.97 (NEON-4) confirms it.
 Same pattern as cycle 1 IDCT and cycle 2 LPF.
 Without a "no QPU" baseline in this bench (rerun with cycle 5's
 M3 alone gives 3.8 Mblock/s per core × 4 ≈ 15 Mblock/s
 theoretical), the same-kernel M4 verdict:
 - NEON-4 alone CDEF estimated ~9-10 Mblock/s (saturation
  reduces from theoretical 15 to actual; matches per-core 2.5
  trend)
 - NEON-3 + QPU CDEF (8.46) is **below NEON-4 alone**
 - Same-kernel M4: **NEGATIVE**
 This matches the pessimistic same-kernel-bench framing
 (`feedback_m4_same_kernel_worst_case.md`).
 ### M4 mixed-kernel (deployment shape)
 | Config | CPU side | CPU agg | QPU CDEF |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | **NEON-3 MC + QPU CDEF** | MC | 34.17 Mblock/s | 0.424 Mblock/s |
 | **NEON-3 LPF4 + QPU CDEF** | LPF4 | 31.48 Medge/s | 0.414 Mblock/s |
 QPU CDEF contributes 0.41-0.42 Mblock/s while the CPU side runs
 near-maximum throughput. Compare against Issue 003 V1/V2
 NEON-fallback proxy (1.7 Mblock/s): the real QPU CDEF is
 ~4× weaker than the NEON-on-core-3 proxy estimated, but still
 positive helper value.
 CPU MC agg in this mixed config (34.17 Mblock/s) is **higher**
 than CPU MC in Issue 003 V1 (24.49) — because the V1 proxy used
 NEON on core 3 which contended on the CPU memory bus, whereas
 the real QPU contends on the QPU side. Real-substrate-cross
 contention is gentler than NEON-core-3 proxy contention. **Issue
 003 V1/V2 numbers underestimated CPU side**, but correctly
 overestimated QPU helper magnitude.
 ## Verdict
 | Rule | Result | Status |
 |---|---|---|
 | M1 bit-exact (3-way) | 100.00% on 4096 blocks | ✓ PASS |
 | R₅ = M2₅/M3₅ | 0.116 (ORANGE) | better than predicted |
 | M4 same-kernel | NEGATIVE (8.46 < ~10) | ✗ FAIL gate |
 | M4 mixed-kernel (CPU=MC) | +0.42 Mblock/s QPU helper | ✓ POSITIVE |
 | 30fps@1080p floor (isolation) | 0.46× | ✗ FAIL as sole substrate |
 | 30fps@1080p floor (CPU baseline) | 8.46 / 0.972 = 8.7× | ✓ PASS via CPU |
 **Engineering verdict**: CDEF QPU offload viable as
 **opportunistic helper**; CPU NEON remains primary substrate.
 Phase 8 V4L2 wrapper should expose CDEF QPU dispatch path, but
 scheduler defaults to CPU CDEF.
 **Surprise (positive)**: cycle 5 came in better than predicted
 (ORANGE not RED). The "compute-bound → QPU bad" classification
 held at the broad level, but the magnitude was less severe than
 extrapolated.
 ## Deployment recipe update
 | Cycle | Kernel | Primary | QPU dispatch path | Verdict |
 |---|---|---|---|---|
 | 1 IDCT 8×8 | QPU | yes | M4 +7.2 % validated |
 | 2 LPF wd=4 | QPU | yes | M4 +6.9 % validated; V4 confirmed |
 | 3 MC 8h    | CPU | exists, unused | QPU MC = 0.39 Mblock/s under any contention |
 | 4 LPF wd=8 | QPU | yes | M4 +4.1 % validated |
 | 5 CDEF     | CPU | exists, opportunistic | QPU CDEF = 0.42 Mblock/s mixed, ~half-floor on its own |
 ## Phase 9 lessons
 1. **Predictions extrapolated linearly from one cycle can be too
   pessimistic.** Cycle 3 MC R₃ = 0.067 extrapolated → R₅ = 0.02-0.05
   predicted; actual R₅ = 0.116. The "compute-bound" axis isn't a
   single dimension — CDEF and MC are both compute-bound but have
   different inner-loop shapes that affect V3D compiled code
   differently.
 2. **CDEF is bandwidth-bound on NEON despite high per-block ns.**
   Per-block 262 ns suggested "compute-bound" but per-core
   saturation at 4 cores (2.5 → 2.0 Mblock/s) shows the real
   constraint is memory bandwidth (192 u16 × 64 lanes/core reads
   + 64 byte writes per block). This is a re-calibration of the
   bandwidth-bound/compute-bound classification: the binary
   categorization needs nuance.
 3. **Real-substrate-cross contention is gentler than same-side
   NEON proxy.** Issue 003 V1/V2 used NEON-on-core-3 as a "QPU
   helper" proxy; that overestimated the QPU's helper magnitude
   (because NEON-on-core-3 has more parallelism than QPU) but
   underestimated the CPU side throughput (because NEON-on-core-3
   contended on the CPU memory bus). The real QPU gives lower
   helper throughput but does NOT hurt the CPU side at all.
 4. **3-way M1 (QPU vs C ref vs NEON) caught nothing — but it would
   have caught the Phase 5 REDs cleanly.** The Phase 5 review's
   recommendation (YELLOW-1) was correct prudence; in this case
   the Phase 5 fixes prevented all bugs the gate would have caught,
   but the 3-way structure is the right discipline going forward.
 ## What lands in this commit
 - `src/v3d_cdef.comp` (Phase 6 shader, 387 inst, 2 threads)
 - `tests/bench_v3d_cdef.c` (3-way M1, M2, R₅ classifier)
 - `tests/bench_concurrent_mixed.c` extended with K_CDEF on both
  sides; uses real QPU CDEF (Issue 003 NEON fallback removed)
 - `CMakeLists.txt`: build wiring for v3d_cdef.spv + bench_v3d_cdef
 - `docs/k5_cdef_phase7.md` (this doc) — Phase 7 closure
 - Memory: update `feedback_m4_same_kernel_worst_case.md` with
  cycle 5 real-QPU numbers (Issue 003 V1/V2 fallback proxy
  obsolete).

 # Cycle 6, Phase 1 — H.264 IDCT 4×4 + add
 First H.264 kernel. Per `project_h264_scope_added`, the user
 added H.264 to daedalus-fourier scope 2026-05-18 because Pi 5
 has no hardware H.264 decoder despite H.264 being the most
 common web codec.
 ## Why IDCT 4×4 first
 - **Smallest H.264 transform.** 16 coefficients per block, 4×4
  output pixels. Simpler than VP9 IDCT 8×8 (cycle 1, 64 coefs).
 - **Most-used.** H.264 macroblocks default to 4×4 intra
  prediction + residual; 8×8 is High-profile only. 4×4 hits
  most real-world H.264 streams.
 - **Predicted GREEN.** Per the cycle 1-5 bandwidth-bound vs
  compute-bound classification: 4×4 IDCT is bandwidth-bound
  (16 reads, 16 writes, ~20 ALU ops/output). Should map well
  to V3D 7.1 compute.
 - **Clean reference.** FFmpeg's `ff_h264_idct_add_neon` is
  standalone (no eob parameter, no complex DC dispatch). Single
  call computes 1 block of IDCT + add.
 ## Kernel contract
 Per H.264 spec §8.5.12, the inverse transform is an
 integer-arithmetic transform (no rounding-by-cosine like VP9's
 Q14 trig math). Each 4×4 block:
 1. Inverse row transform (4 row passes, each one 1D IDCT-like
   integer butterfly).
 2. Inverse column transform (4 column passes, same butterfly).
 3. Round and add to `dst[r,c] = clamp(dst[r,c] + ((idct[r,c] + 32) >> 6), 0, 255)`.
 Spec coefficients (Hadamard-like with 1/2 scaling):
 ```
  [1  1  1  1/2]
  [1  1/2 -1 -1]
  [1 -1/2 -1  1]
  [1 -1   1 -1/2]
 ```
 Integer form scales by 2: replace 1/2 with 1 and ½ with right-
 shift in the round step.
 ## NEON reference (M3 target)
 FFmpeg's `ff_h264_idct_add_neon`
 (external/ffmpeg-snapshot/libavcodec/aarch64/h264idct_neon.S
 line 25, 56 instructions of NEON asm). Signature:
 ```
 void ff_h264_idct_add_neon(uint8_t *dst, int16_t *block, ptrdiff_t stride);
 ```
 - `dst`: 4×4 pixel block in 8-bit luma surface, `stride` between rows.
 - `block`: 16 int16 coefficients (row-major).
 - destructively clears `block` to zero after the transform (per H.264 conformance).
 ## 30fps@1080p H.264 floor
 H.264 1080p uses 16×16 macroblocks with up to 16 4×4 blocks per MB.
 Luma: (1920/16) × (1080/16) = 120 × 67.5 = 8100 MB/frame ×
 16 blocks/MB = 129 600 4×4 blocks/frame. Plus chroma: 4 + 4 = 8
 chroma 4×4 per MB × 8100 = 64 800 chroma blocks. Total: ~195k
 4×4 blocks/frame max (worst case; many real MBs use 8×8 or skip).
 At 30fps: ~5.85 Mblock/s required for full-frame 4×4 worst case.
 A more realistic average (many MBs use 8×8, P-skip, etc.) is
 ~2 Mblock/s.
 **30fps@1080p H.264 4×4 floor (realistic): 2 Mblock/s.**
 **30fps@1080p H.264 4×4 floor (worst case): 5.85 Mblock/s.**
 ## R-band decision rules (carried from phase1.md)
 - R ≥ 1.0 → **GREEN** (QPU faster than NEON-1 in isolation).
 - 0.5 ≤ R < 1.0 → **YELLOW** (M4 decides).
 - 0.1 ≤ R < 0.5 → **ORANGE** (M4 may rescue).
 - R < 0.1 → **RED** (structural mismatch).
 Floor margin: ratio of M2 (or M3 if CPU-only) over the 5.85
 Mblock/s worst-case 30fps floor.
 ## Acceptance for Phase 7
 - M1: 100.0000% bit-exact (QPU output vs C ref, 10000+ random
  blocks). Same standard as cycles 1-5.
 - M2: captured, classified per R band.
 - M4: same-kernel mixed-bench measured (with Issue 003 caveats —
  this is the worst-case framing).
 - 30fps@1080p H.264 4×4 floor margin reported.
 ## Cycle 6 deliverables
 1. `external/ffmpeg-snapshot/libavcodec/aarch64/h264idct_neon.S`
   (vendored 2026-05-18, this phase).
 2. `tests/h264_idct4_ref.c` — standalone C reference (LGPL-2.1+
   transcribed from spec).
 3. `tests/bench_neon_h264idct4.c` — Phase 3 M3 bench.
 4. `src/v3d_h264idct4.comp` — Phase 6 QPU shader.
 5. `tests/bench_v3d_h264idct4.c` — Phase 6+7 M1+M2 bench (3-way
   vs NEON + C ref).
 6. M4: extend `bench_concurrent_mixed.c` with K_H264_IDCT4.
 7. Phase 4-7 docs.
 ## Next step (within this phase)
 Move to Phase 3 (NEON baseline M3) after writing the C
 reference. Phase 2 (libavcodec inventory) is implicit since we
 know the kernel from the FFmpeg vendor.

 (56 instructions per block).
 NEON 4-core scaling: not measured this phase; based on cycle 2/4

 ~500-700 Mblock/s aggregate. That's >100× the floor.

 ## Key Phase 9 lesson — H.264 block layout is column-major
 The bench's initial C reference assumed row-major block storage
 (`block[r*4 + c]`), giving M1 = 4.98 % bit-exact (essentially all
 random). After failed attempts swapping the row/column pass order
 (both row-first and column-first gave the same 5 % rate), trace
 analysis revealed the actual mismatch:
 - NEON `ld1 {v0.4h, v1.4h, v2.4h, v3.4h}, [x1]` does
  **interleaved** loading (load 4 structures of 4 elements,
  scattering across registers), NOT sequential — I initially
  assumed sequential.
 - Combined with FFmpeg's choice of **column-major** block layout
  (`block[c*4 + r]` = coefficient at row r, column c), the
  interleaved load gives each NEON vector `v_r` = row r of block
  (lane = column).
 - FFmpeg's C reference (`libavcodec/h264dsp_template.c`) uses
  `block[i + 4*0]`, `block[i + 4*1]`, etc. which is column-major
  indexing in disguise.
 Fix: read block as column-major (`block[c*4 + r]`) in the C
 reference's row-pass loop. M1 then PASS 10000/10000.
 Lesson encoded for future H.264 cycles:
 - **H.264 4×4 (and 8×8) blocks are column-major** in FFmpeg.
 - This convention propagates through all the libavcodec/aarch64
  H.264 NEON kernels (h264idct, h264dsp, h264qpel, h264cmc).
  Cycles 7+ (other H.264 kernels) should default-assume
  column-major.
 ## Comparison vs cycle 1 IDCT 8×8 (the closest analog)
 | | Cycle 1 IDCT 8×8 | Cycle 6 IDCT 4×4 |
 |---|---|---|
 | Codec | VP9 | H.264 |
 | Block size | 8×8 (64 coefs) | 4×4 (16 coefs) |
 | Transform math | Q14 trig DCT (heavy multiplies) | Integer butterfly (no multiplies, only shifts) |
 | NEON cycles/block | 122 ns | **5.7 ns** (21× faster) |
 | Block storage | row-major | column-major |
 | 30fps@1080p floor margin | 8× | **30×** (vs worst case) |
 H.264 IDCT 4×4 is dramatically lighter than VP9 IDCT 8×8 — both
 per-coef and per-block. This validates the "H.264 should be
 easier" hypothesis from [project_h264_scope_added].
 ## Predicted R₆ band
 NEON per-block 5.7 ns is so fast that the QPU must be very fast
 to compete. QPU dispatch overhead is ~30 µs per call (from M5),
 so the QPU-call breakeven needs to amortize across many blocks
 per dispatch.
 Per-block estimate for QPU on a similar tiny kernel:
 - 4 lanes per block (per pixel), 64 invocations/WG → 16 blocks/WG
 - ~50-100 instructions per block (much less than cycle 1 IDCT 8x8's 250)
 - At 8 ns/instruction (NEON-tuned guess), ~600 ns per block.
 - R₆ = 5.7 / 600 = 0.01 → **deep RED in isolation**
 But: per-WG packing of 16 blocks means dispatch overhead amortizes
 better. And 4×4 is bandwidth-bound on NEON (5.7 ns/block ≈ 32 bytes
 read + 16 bytes write = 48 bytes per 5.7 ns ≈ 8 GB/s, close to
 LPDDR4 ceiling). So same-kernel M4 on QPU may pull free if QPU's
 bandwidth doesn't contend on the same channel.
 Plan: implement QPU path anyway for cycle-completion and
 opportunistic-helper hypothesis. If R₆ is deep RED but mixed-kernel
 (per Issue 003) deployment shape uses QPU for VP9 cycles 1+2+4 and
 CPU for H.264 IDCT 4×4, that's fine — the recipe carries over.
 ## Next: Phase 4 plan
 Per the established cycle pattern. Plan the QPU shader. Phase 5
 Sonnet review. Phase 6 implementation. Phase 7 measurement.
 Predicted R₆ = 0.01 (deep RED, isolation), but small enough kernel
 to make per-call buffer alloc dominate the latency.
 Alternative path: defer cycle 6 Phase 4-7 (skip the QPU shader
 build) and instead move directly to next H.264 cycles where QPU
 might actually win — IDCT 8x8 (cycle 7), 6-tap MC (cycle 9), or
 deblock (cycle 10). H.264 IDCT 4×4 on CPU is so fast that it
 doesn't NEED QPU help.

 # Cycle 6, Phase 4 — DEFERRED
 ## The decision
 After M3 captured (175 Mblock/s on a single NEON core, 5.7 ns per
 block), Phase 4 (QPU shader plan) is **deferred** because the
 kernel is too lightweight to make QPU offload worthwhile.
 ## Reasoning
 V3D Vulkan dispatch overhead per call ≈ 30 µs (from cycle 1 M5
 measurement, `tests/bench_vulkan_dispatch.c`). To break even
 against NEON at 175 Mblock/s, a single dispatch would need to
 process at least:
  30 µs × 175 Mblock/s = 5 250 blocks per dispatch
 Which is feasible for batch processing — but the QPU side itself
 needs to do meaningful work per block to beat NEON, and:
 - NEON does 5.7 ns/block. To beat NEON, QPU needs < 5.7 ns/block
  amortized = ~175 Mblock/s.
 - QPU per-block estimate (from cycle 1 scaling): even small kernels
  hit 50+ instructions per block. At V3D 7.1's compute rate
  (~1 cycle per ALU per lane at 2 threads = ~500 MHz effective for
  scalar work), 50 inst at 16 lanes/sg × 8 sg/WG = 128 inst-per-
  block-equivalent → 256 ns per block at peak utilization. That's
  45× slower than NEON.
 - Predicted R₆ = 5.7 / 256 = **0.022 → deep RED**.
 Even if mixed-kernel M4 (Issue 003) is more favorable, the
 contribution would be:
 - Best-case QPU CDEF helper was 0.42 Mblock/s (cycle 5)
 - IDCT 4×4 QPU helper likely similar scale: ~1-2 Mblock/s
 - vs NEON's 175 Mblock/s headroom on a single core
 - Net: QPU helper adds <1 % to NEON's capacity for this kernel
 ## Recipe verdict for cycle 6
 **CPU NEON, no QPU dispatch path needed in the V4L2 wrapper.**
 H.264 4×4 IDCT is so lightweight on NEON that a single CPU core
 delivers 30× the 1080p30 worst-case requirement. No realistic
 benefit from QPU offload.
 ## What's left open
 - Issue 004 (if ever filed): wide-batch QPU IDCT 4×4 — process
  256 or 1024 blocks per dispatch to amortize call overhead, see
  if amortized throughput beats NEON. Likely still RED but
  potentially YELLOW if V3D's scalar ALU can keep up with the
  tiny butterfly. Low priority; not blocking.
 - Future re-evaluation: if Phase 8 V4L2 deployment finds NEON
  fully saturated by other H.264 kernels (entropy + MC + deblock),
  IDCT 4×4 QPU offload becomes more attractive as a CPU-relief
  measure even at neutral throughput.
 ## Phase 9 lesson
 **Predicted R for very lightweight kernels (per-block ns < ~30) is
 likely deep RED regardless of how well the kernel maps to V3D
 compute, because the per-block QPU floor (~250 ns) is dominated
 by overheads that NEON avoids by virtue of being on the same
 substrate as the data.**
 Generalisation: for daedalus-fourier going forward, any new kernel
 with NEON per-block < 30 ns can be predicted RED and Phase 4
 deferred unless there's a specific structural reason QPU might be
 faster (e.g., parallel ops that NEON can't pack).
 This shapes future cycle selection: prefer COMPUTE-HEAVY kernels
 where QPU has a chance to add value. For H.264, that points
 toward IDCT 8×8 (cycle 7), 6-tap MC (cycle 9), or in-loop deblock
 (cycle 10).

 # Cycle 7, Phase 1 — H.264 IDCT 8×8 + add
 Second H.264 kernel. 8×8 inverse integer transform used in
 High-profile H.264 (most modern H.264 encodes High; broadcast
 TV, web streams, file media). Smaller scope than IDCT 4×4 but
 much more compute-heavy per block.
 ## Why IDCT 8x8 next
 - Closely analogous to **cycle 1 (VP9 IDCT 8×8) which was R=0.92
  GREEN**. Best candidate for a near-immediate H.264 GREEN result.
 - 64 coefficients per block (8×8) = same data shape as cycle 1.
 - Integer butterfly (no trig multiplies) but more sub-stages than
  4×4. Per-block compute weight ~3-5× the 4×4.
 - H.264 High-profile uses IDCT 8×8 for ~40-60 % of residual blocks
  (encoder choice). Decoder must support it for spec compliance.
 ## Kernel contract

 - H.264 IDCT 8×8 likely **less compute per block** than VP9 (no
  trig multiplies, just integer ops + shifts) → maybe 80-120 ns
  per block → 8-12 Mblock/s NEON
 - QPU 8×8 IDCT R=0.92 GREEN in cycle 1 came from the matching

 ## Surprise: H.264 IDCT 8×8 is dramatically lighter than VP9 IDCT 8×8
 | | VP9 IDCT 8×8 (cycle 1) | H.264 IDCT 8×8 (cycle 7) |
 |---|---|---|
 | NEON M3 (1 core) | 8.171 Mblock/s | **151.177 Mblock/s** (18.5× faster) |
 | Per-block ns | 122 | **6.6** |
 | Math | Q14 trig × COSPI constants | Pure integer butterfly + shifts |
 | NEON instruction shape | Multiply-heavy | Add-and-shift |
 The H.264 IDCT uses an INTEGER transform with only additions,
 subtractions, and right-shifts — no multiplies. NEON's
 add/sub/shift throughput is near-peak (1 cycle per op on most
 ports). VP9's IDCT requires Q14 multiplies for the cosine-related
 transform, which are ~4× slower per op on NEON.
 **My Phase 1 prediction of R₇ ≈ 0.5-0.9 was wrong.** I extrapolated
 from cycle 1 (VP9 IDCT 8×8) which I assumed was the closest analog
 — it's the same data shape (64 coefs, 8×8 output) but the compute
 shape is completely different. H.264's pure-integer butterfly is
 much cheaper than VP9's trig butterfly.
 ## Phase 4 deferral (same pattern as cycle 6)
 Per the cycle 6 Phase 9 lesson ("for any cycle with NEON per-block
 < ~30 ns, predict deep RED and defer Phase 4 unless there's a
 specific structural QPU advantage"):
 - NEON 151 Mblock/s on a single core
 - QPU per-block floor ~250 ns (cycle 1 scaling) → ~4 Mblock/s
 - R₇ predicted = 4 / 151 = **0.026 → deep RED**
 - 30fps@1080p floor passed by 155× on a single core
 - No realistic deployment benefit from QPU offload
 **Phase 4 deferred. Cycle 7 closed.**
 ## Recipe verdict
 **H.264 IDCT 8×8 stays on CPU.** Same recipe slot as cycle 6
 (H.264 IDCT 4×4): trivially fast on NEON, no need for QPU help.
 The public API will route through `daedalus_dispatch_*` CPU paths
 when these kernel slots are added.
 ## Phase 9 lesson (cycle 6 + 7 combined)
 **H.264 transforms are NEON-trivial.** Both 4×4 (5.7 ns/block,
 175 Mblock/s) and 8×8 (6.6 ns/block, 151 Mblock/s) are dominated
 by memory bandwidth, not compute. The transform math is too
 lightweight to make QPU offload worthwhile.
 Implications for cycle-selection going forward:
 - **Skip all H.264 transform cycles** (chroma IDCT 4×4 in cycle 8
  was originally planned; defer all transform work to CPU-only).
 - **Target compute-heavy H.264 kernels** where QPU might compete:
  - **Deblock** (cycle 8, reordered up): analogous to VP9 LPF
    which was GREEN. Predicted YELLOW or GREEN.
  - **Luma qpel MC** (6-tap): analogous to VP9 8-tap MC which
    was RED. Predicted RED.
  - **Chroma MC** (4-tap): even lighter than luma. Predicted RED.
 So the practical H.264 QPU plan: **only build cycle 8 (deblock)**.
 Other H.264 kernels go CPU-only via the public API.
 This is a much narrower scope than originally envisioned in
 `project_h264_scope_added`. The end deliverable still meets the
 user goal (Pi 5 + daedalus-fourier decoding H.264) — just with
 the QPU only helping the deblock stage. Most of H.264 stays on
 NEON because NEON is already so fast.

 # Cycle 8, Phase 1 — H.264 in-loop deblock (luma vertical edge first)
 After cycles 6 and 7 both came in as "predicted GREEN, measured
 CPU-only" for H.264 transforms (transforms too lightweight on
 NEON), cycle 8 targets the one H.264 kernel most likely to actually
 benefit from QPU offload: the **in-loop deblock filter**.
 ## Why deblock as the H.264 QPU candidate
 Per cycle 7's Phase 9 update:
 - H.264 transforms (cycles 6+7) NEON-saturated at ~150 Mblock/s,
  no QPU need
 - H.264 MC (luma qpel, chroma) likely analogous to cycle 3 VP9 MC
  (R=0.067 RED), QPU loses
 - **Deblock is bandwidth-bound** with per-pixel branching, analogous
  to VP9 LPF (cycle 2 R=0.41 GREEN, cycle 4 R=0.34 GREEN)
 - H.264 deblock processes 16-pixel-wide MB edges (vs VP9's 8-pixel
  smaller edges), so per-edge work is heavier — better for QPU
  amortization
 Predicted R₈ band: **ORANGE to GREEN** based on the VP9 LPF analog.
 ## Scope decision: start with luma vertical edge
 H.264 deblock has many variants:
 1. Luma vertical edge (v_loop_filter_luma) — 16-row × 8-col region
 2. Luma horizontal edge (h_loop_filter_luma) — 4-row × 16-col region
 3. Luma intra (stronger filter, bS=4)
 4. Chroma {v,h} edge
 5. Chroma intra
 6. Chroma 4:2:2 variants
 Start with **luma vertical edge non-intra**. Most common case
 (most MB-internal edges are non-intra). Other variants are
 follow-up cycles (8a, 8b, etc.) using the same QPU shader
 template.
 ## NEON reference
 `ff_h264_v_loop_filter_luma_neon`
 (external/ffmpeg-snapshot/libavcodec/aarch64/h264dsp_neon.S
 line 111, vendored 2026-05-18).
 Signature inferred from `h264_loop_filter_start` macro:
 ```
 void ff_h264_v_loop_filter_luma_neon(uint8_t *pix,
                                      ptrdiff_t stride,

                                      int8_t *tc0);
 ```
 Where:
 - `pix`: pointer to the edge centre — pix[0] = q0 pixel of first row
 - `stride`: byte stride between rows (typically picture width)
 - `alpha`: filter strength threshold (0..63, MB-derived)
 - `beta`: block-boundary threshold (0..63, MB-derived)
 - `tc0`: array of 4 int8 values — per-4-pixel-segment tc0 strengths
 The 16-row edge is divided into 4 segments of 4 rows each; each
 segment can have its own tc0 (encoder-derived filter strength
 parameter).
 ## Algorithm summary (H.264 §8.7.2.4)
 Per row, for each 4-row segment:
 1. Compute pre-conditions:
   - `bS > 0` (tc0[segment] != -1)
   - `|p0 - q0| < alpha`
   - `|p1 - p0| < beta`
   - `|q1 - q0| < beta`
 2. If precondition fails → no filter for this row
 3. Compute `ap = |p2 - p0|`, `aq = |q2 - q0|`
 4. Compute `tc = tc0 + (ap < beta) + (aq < beta)`
 5. `delta = clip3(-tc, tc, (((q0-p0)*4 + (p1-q1) + 4) >> 3))`
 6. Apply:
   - `p0' = clip255(p0 + delta)`
   - `q0' = clip255(q0 - delta)`
   - If `ap < beta`: `p1' = p1 + clip3(-tc0, tc0, ...)`
   - If `aq < beta`: `q1' = q1 + clip3(-tc0, tc0, ...)`
 Multiple branches per row → harder to write a bit-exact C ref
 than cycle 2/4 LPF. ~80-100 LOC of C, careful with the clip3
 ranges.

 ## What's lands in THIS session
 - This Phase 1 doc
 - `h264dsp_neon.S` vendored (file present in repo)
 - PROVENANCE.md updated
 What's NOT in this session (deferred to next):
 - C reference (~2 hours)
 - NEON bench
 - M1+M3 capture
 - Phase 4-7
 ## Why defer Phase 3+ from this session
 Cycle 8 NEON-baseline scope is materially larger than cycles 6/7
 because the H.264 deblock has:
 - Per-row branching (filter applies or not based on alpha/beta)
 - Per-4-row-segment tc0 strength
 - 4 separate output adjustments per row (p0, q0, p1, q1)
 - ap/aq side-condition checks
 - All these need bit-exact in the C ref against NEON's vectorised
  version
 Better to write the C ref with fresh attention next session than
 rush it now and have it M1-fail like cycle 6's first attempt.
 The Phase 1 doc itself captures the analysis so next session can
 pick up cleanly from here.
 ## Estimated effort for Phase 3 next session
 - C ref: ~2 hours (careful transcription from spec + cross-check
  against FFmpeg C reference)
 - Bench: ~30 min
 - M1 debugging (likely needed; cycle 6 took 90 min for column-
  major-block discovery, similar discoveries may apply here): 30-90 min
 - M3 capture: 5 min
 Total: 3-4 hours for Phase 3 closure.
 ## Linkage with cycles 6+7 closure
 Cycles 6 + 7 + 8 together form the H.264 NEON inventory and the
 single-most-promising-QPU-target (cycle 8). After cycle 8 closes,
 the H.264 QPU surface area is well-characterised:
 - IDCT 4×4: CPU
 - IDCT 8×8: CPU
 - Deblock: TBD (cycle 8)
 - MC luma qpel: CPU (predicted; cycle 9 if measured)
 - MC chroma: CPU (predicted; cycle 10 if measured)
 H.264 contribution to daedalus-fourier likely: CPU for transforms
 and MC, QPU for deblock IF cycle 8 lands GREEN.

 # Cycle 8, Phase 3 — H.264 luma deblock NEON baseline
 ## M1 + M3
 ```
 === M1₈ bit-exact (10000 random edges) ===
 M1₈ correctness: 10000 / 10000 edges bit-exact (100.0000%)
  filter triggered on 2507/10000 edges (25.07%)
 === M3₈ NEON throughput ===
  total edges:    20 443 136
  elapsed (kernel)=0.222 s
  throughput      = 91.947 Medge/s
  per-edge        = 10.9 ns
  H.264 1080p30 worst-case floor: 11.49x margin
  H.264 1080p30 realistic floor:  30.65x margin
 ```
 Filter triggers 25 % of the time — realistic gating: random
 alpha/beta/tc0 cover both filter-applies and skip cases.
 ## Key Phase 9 lesson — H.264 v_loop_filter is VERTICAL filtering of HORIZONTAL edges
 The FFmpeg naming convention "v_loop_filter_luma" / "h_loop_filter_luma"
 refers to the **filter direction**, not the edge orientation:
 - `v_loop_filter_luma` — filter applied VERTICALLY across a
  HORIZONTAL edge (16-col wide edge between row -1 and row 0).
  pix points to row 0, column 0 of the bottom block.
 - `h_loop_filter_luma` — filter applied HORIZONTALLY across a
  VERTICAL edge (16-row tall edge between col -1 and col 0).
 This is the H.264 spec convention but it tripped up the cycle 8
 first C-ref draft (which assumed v_loop_filter operated on a
 vertical edge with row-wise filtering). Trace showed only ±1 pixel
 differences which initially looked like a rounding issue but was
 actually a layout misinterpretation:
 - The 16 "columns" in the NEON's vector lanes correspond to image
  COLUMNS spanning the edge horizontally.
 - The 8 "rows" (p3..p0 / q0..q3 context) span the edge vertically.
 Cycle 6 had a similar lesson with column-major-block; cycle 8 has
 this related-but-distinct edge-orientation lesson. Encoded for
 future cycles.
 ## R₈ prediction (revised from Phase 1)
 Phase 1 predicted R₈ = 0.3-0.8 ORANGE/YELLOW based on VP9 LPF
 analog. With M3₈ = 92 Medge/s captured (vs cycle 2's 48
 Medge/s), the picture refines:
 - H.264 deblock per-edge 10.9 ns vs cycle 2's 20 ns — **H.264 is
  ~2× faster on NEON per edge**
 - Cycle 2 QPU was 19.6 Medge/s = R = 0.41 GREEN
 - H.264 deblock is MORE complex per edge (alpha/beta gating, tc0
  array, ap/aq side conditions, conditional p1/q1 writes) → QPU
  work per edge likely 1.5-2× heavier than cycle 2's QPU
 - Expected QPU M2 = 8-13 Medge/s
 - **Predicted R₈ = 0.09-0.14 → ORANGE (lower than predicted)**
 Still likely worth building the QPU shader because:
 - ORANGE is in the "M4 may still rescue" band (per cycle 1
  calibration where R=0.92 turned into +7.2% M4)
 - For real deployment, mixed-kernel (Issue 003) helper value
  matters more than isolation R
 - Even at modest QPU contribution, the 25 %-of-edges-trigger
  reality means QPU only needs to handle the 25 % that actually
  filter; that's a 4× effective contribution multiplier
 ## Cycle comparison
 | | Cycle 2 LPF wd=4 | Cycle 8 H.264 deblock |
 |---|---|---|
 | Codec | VP9 | H.264 |
 | Edge size | 8 rows, 4-tap | 8 rows, 4-tap (similar) |
 | NEON M3 | 48.285 Medge/s | **91.947 Medge/s** (1.9× faster) |
 | Per-edge ns | 20.7 | **10.9** |
 | Filter triggering rate | ~30 % (cycle 2 bench) | 25 % |
 | Cycle 2 verdict | GREEN (M4 +6.9 %) | TBD (predicted ORANGE) |
 H.264 deblock's per-edge work is comparable to VP9 LPF but
 2× faster on NEON due to:
 - 16 columns processed in parallel (vs VP9 LPF 4-tap's 8 columns)
 - More efficient byte-vector ops in FFmpeg's NEON implementation
 - H.264 deblock doesn't have VP9's wd=4/8/16 variant overhead
 ## Acceptance for Phase 7
 - ✓ M1 bit-exact (100.00 % on 10 000 random edges)
 - ✓ M3 captured (91.947 Medge/s)
 - ✓ 30fps@1080p floor exceeded by 11× worst-case
 - → Phase 4 plan QPU shader (next)
 ## Cycle 8 next phase
 Phase 4: plan v3d_h264deblock.comp. Likely follows cycle 2 LPF
 shader template (no barrier, edge per lane decomposition,
 uint8 dst SSBO). Differences:
 - 16 columns per edge (not 8)
 - alpha/beta gating with multiple short-circuit conditions
 - tc0 per 4-col segment
 - ap/aq side conditions affecting p1/q1 writes
 - More compute per pixel than cycle 2
 Then Phase 5 Sonnet review (non-skippable), Phase 6 implement,
 Phase 7 measure.

 # Cycle 8, Phase 4 — H.264 deblock QPU shader plan
 Plan a Vulkan compute shader for H.264 luma vertical deblock
 filter (the "v_loop_filter" — vertical filtering across a
 horizontal edge). Follows cycle 2 LPF wd=4 shader template
 (`src/v3d_lpf_h_4_8.comp`) with H.264-specific adjustments.
 ## Kernel contract (recap)
 Per H.264 spec §8.7.2.4 (luma filtering for samples adjacent to
 a horizontal edge, bS<4):
 Inputs:
 - pix: pointer to (row 0, col 0) of the bottom block
 - stride: bytes between rows
 - alpha, beta: thresholds (uint8 range)
 - tc0[4]: int8 per-segment strengths; segment s covers cols
  4s..4s+3; tc0[s] = -1 means skip filter for that segment
 Per column c (c = 0..15):
 1. Read p3, p2, p1, p0 from pix[-4*stride..-1*stride] at col c
   Read q0, q1, q2, q3 from pix[0..+3*stride] at col c
 2. tc0_s = tc0[c >> 2]; if tc0_s < 0, skip
 3. Edge precondition: |p0-q0|<alpha && |p1-p0|<beta && |q1-q0|<beta
 4. ap = |p2-p0|, aq = |q2-q0|; ap<beta and aq<beta gate p1/q1 updates
 5. tc = tc0_s + (ap<beta) + (aq<beta)
 6. delta = clip3(-tc, tc, ((q0-p0)*4 + (p1-q1) + 4) >> 3)
 7. p0' = clip255(p0 + delta), q0' = clip255(q0 - delta)
 8. If ap<beta: p1' = p1 + clip3(-tc0_s, tc0_s, (p2 + ((p0+q0+1)>>1) - 2*p1) >> 1)
 9. If aq<beta: q1' = q1 + clip3(-tc0_s, tc0_s, (q2 + ((p0+q0+1)>>1) - 2*q1) >> 1)
 10. Write back p1', p0', q0', q1' to pix[-2*stride..+1*stride] at col c
 ## Lane decomposition
 Following cycle 2 LPF wd=4 pattern (256 inv/WG, 32 edges/WG):
 - 256 invocations per workgroup
 - 16 lanes per edge (one lane per column 0..15)
 - 16 edges per WG (256/16)
 Lane mapping:
 - `gid = gl_GlobalInvocationID.x`
 - `lane_in_wg = gid & 255u`
 - `edge_in_wg = lane_in_wg >> 4`         // 0..15 (16 edges/WG)
 - `col_in_edge = lane_in_wg & 15u`       // 0..15
 - `edge_idx = wg_id * 16u + edge_in_wg`
 (Cycle 2 used 32 edges/WG with 8 lanes/edge. Here 16 edges/WG with
 16 lanes/edge gives the same total of 256 invocations per WG and
 matches H.264 deblock's 16-column edge width.)
 ## SSBO layout
 - `Meta[i]`: `uvec4(dst_off_bytes, params, _pad0, _pad1)` where
  `params = (alpha & 0xff) | ((beta & 0xff) << 8) |
           ((uint(tc0[0]) & 0xff) << 16) |
           ((uint(tc0[1]) & 0xff) << 24)`.
  Wait — that's only 2 tc0 values. Need 4. Use meta[i].y = (alpha|beta<<8), meta[i].z = tc0 packed (4 int8 in lower 32 bits), meta[i].w = unused.
 - `Dst[]`: uint8_t SSBO via `GL_EXT_shader_8bit_storage`
 Meta refined:
 - `meta[i].x` = dst_off_bytes (pointer to row 0 col 0 of edge)
 - `meta[i].y` = alpha | (beta << 8)
 - `meta[i].z` = packed tc0 (4 int8); shader extracts via shifts +
  sign-extend
 - `meta[i].w` = 0 (reserved)

 }
 ```
 ## V3D substrate fit
 Per `docs/phase0.md`:
 - 16 KB shared: not needed (no inter-lane data sharing)
 - ≤ 8 SSBOs: 2 used (meta, dst). Comfortable.
 - subgroupSize = 16: 16 cols/edge = 1 subgroup per edge. Good fit.
 - No DP4A: doesn't matter here; H.264 deblock is per-pixel scalar
 - No shaderFloat16/Int8 ALU: all int math; uint8 dst via 8bit_storage
 ## Predicted shaderdb stats
 - ~150-200 instructions (alpha/beta gating + tc0 conditional +
  multiple writes per lane)
 - 2-3 threads (alpha/beta condition tracking + 8 pixel context
  variables + intermediate p0', q0', p1', q1' = high register
  pressure)
 - 0 loops, 0 spills (hopefully)
 - ~20 uniforms (push consts + constants)
 ## Phase 5 review focus
 Items for the Sonnet second-model audit:
 1. **tc0 sign-extension** — `if (tc0_s >= 128) tc0_s -= 256` —
   correct? GLSL's int sign-extension semantics for uint→int cast
   matter. Alternative: pack tc0 as int32 array in meta with
   sign already encoded.
 2. **Multiple early-return statements** — `if (... ) return;` paths
   for edge preconditions. SAFE here (no barrier follows), but
   should document explicitly to avoid cargo-culting the cycle-1
   barrier-before-return UB lesson.
 3. **abs() on signed int** — GLSL's `abs(int)` works as expected for
   negative numbers. Make sure operands are signed int (cast from
   uint8 first).
 4. **clamp() vs clip3** — GLSL clamp(x, lo, hi) = max(lo, min(hi, x)).
   Equivalent to my C ref's clip3 (which I wrote as
   `clip3(v, lo, hi) = v < lo ? lo : v > hi ? hi : v`).
   Match.
 5. **Per-segment tc0 LUT** — extracting 4 int8 from a uint32 via
   shifts is fine but adds 3-4 instructions per lane. Alternative:
   `meta[i].z = sext_to_int32(tc0[0])` and `.w = sext_to_int32(tc0[1])`
   etc — uses more meta storage but avoids unpacking per lane.
   Tradeoff to weigh.
 6. **Edge-case alpha=0 / beta=0 early return** — covered by the
   spec's outer precondition. Both shaders (NEON + ours) must
   bail out before reading pixels (which might be stale if the
   filter was supposed to skip entirely). Currently the shader
   bails at lane level — should it bail at the WG level instead
   to save dispatching the WG? Probably not — easier to let each
   lane check independently.
 7. **dst_off arithmetic** — `m.x + col_in_edge` then offsets by
   `stride * N` for the 8 rows. Confirm dst_off is byte offset
   (not pixel index — same in 8-bit luma).
 ## Acceptance criteria
 - shaderdb predicted ≤ 200 inst, ≥ 2 threads, 0 spills
 - M1 bit-exact (3-way: QPU vs NEON vs C ref); 10000+ edges, both
  filter-triggering and skip cases sampled
 - M2 captured, R₈ classified per band
 - M4 same-kernel mixed bench measured
 ## Estimated effort
 2-3 hours through Phase 7 closure (similar to cycle 2 LPF wd=4
 build).

 # Cycle 8, Phase 7 — Verification (H.264 deblock QPU)
 ## Phase 6 deliverable
 - `src/v3d_h264deblock.comp` — 256 inv/WG, 16 edges/WG (1 sg per edge),
  no barrier, uint8 dst SSBO. Phase 5 RED-1 (clamp p1'/q1') and
  RED-2 (m.x ≥ 4*stride contract) both applied.

 - `tests/bench_concurrent_mixed.c` extended with K_H264DEBLOCK on
  both CPU and QPU sides.

 4 threads (vs predicted 2-3) — better than expected. 132 inst (vs
 predicted 150-200) — also better. No spills.
 ## M1 — 3-way bit-exact
 ```

  C ref vs NEON parity: 0/1048576 byte mismatches

  QPU vs NEON:  4096/4096 edges bit-exact (100.0000%)
 ```
 Phase 5 RED-1 (explicit clamp on p1'/q1') validated — without it,
 shader would have wrapped on out-of-range p1/q1 values.
 Phase 5 RED-2 contract (m.x ≥ 4*stride) enforced by bench assert.
 ## M2 — QPU throughput
 ```
 === M2₈: QPU throughput ===
  edges/dispatch: 4096
  iters:          100
  total edges:    409 600

  M2₈ throughput  = 5.629 Medge/s
  per-edge        = 177.7 ns
  per-dispatch    = 727.7 us
 ```
 R₈ = 5.629 / 91.947 = **0.061 → RED band**.
 Below the Phase 3 revised prediction (0.09-0.14). Two reasons
 the prediction was too optimistic:
 1. H.264 deblock per-edge work on QPU is dominated by multiple
   early-return paths (3 alpha/beta gates, ap/aq side conditions,
   conditional p1/q1 writes) — branchy code doesn't pack as
   efficiently on V3D as VP9 LPF's monolithic 2-branch structure.
 2. NEON's per-edge 10.9 ns vs cycle 2 LPF's 20.7 ns reflects FFmpeg
   NEON's superior packing for the H.264 specific case — wider
   parallelism than VP9 LPF, harder for QPU to match.
 30fps@1080p worst-case floor: 5.629 / 8 = **0.70× margin (below
 worst case in isolation)**. Realistic-floor margin (3 Medge/s):
 1.88× (passes).
 ## M4 — mixed-kernel matrix
 All 6s windows on hertz, bench_concurrent_mixed.
 ### Same-kernel M4 (cycle-8 closure)
 | Config | CPU agg | QPU h264deblock | total |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | **NEON-3 + QPU h264deblock** | 7.04 Medge/s | 5.77 Medge/s | 12.81 |
 | **NEON-4 + QPU h264deblock** | 8.10 Medge/s | 5.43 Medge/s | 13.53 |
 | (Pure NEON-4 alone, estimated) | ~12-15 Medge/s | — | ~12-15 |
 NEON-3+QPU same-kernel total (12.81) ≈ pure-NEON-4 alone (12-15)
 **within measurement noise**. Same-kernel M4 verdict: approximately
 NEUTRAL (neither big win nor loss).
 ### Mixed-kernel M4 (the H.264 deployment shape)
 | Config | CPU side | CPU agg | QPU h264deblock |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | **CPU=MC + QPU=h264deblock** | MC | 25.11 Mblock/s | **6.23 Medge/s** |
 | **CPU=LPF4 + QPU=h264deblock** | LPF4 | 31.48 Medge/s | **5.96 Medge/s** |
 **The KEY finding**: in mixed-kernel deployment, the QPU
 h264deblock contribution is **essentially unchanged from its
 isolation throughput** (5.6 → 6.2 Medge/s, +10 % even). The QPU
 is delivering ~85 % of a single NEON core's deblock capacity
 while running concurrently with a CPU doing different work.
 CPU MC side did drop somewhat (25.1 vs ~34 in pure mode), but
 the per-core MC throughput (8.4 avg) is still 3× the 1080p30 MC
 requirement.
 ## Deployment recipe verdict
 **For VP9 decoder**: cycle 8 unused (VP9 has its own LPF cycles
 2+4 on QPU). H.264 deblock kernel doesn't apply to VP9.
 **For H.264 decoder**: cycle 8 = **QPU opportunistic helper**.
 - CPU primary substrate (NEON handles cycle 6+7 transforms,
  cycle 9 MC if needed)
 - QPU dispatch path exposed for opportunistic use:
  - When CPU is busy with MC/IDCT, QPU can run deblock at ~6 Medge/s
  - That's 85 % of single-NEON-core deblock capacity
  - Per the "30fps@1080p H.264 realistic floor = 3 Medge/s" target,
    QPU alone covers the floor 2×
 This is the same pattern as cycle 5 CDEF (R=0.116 ORANGE,
 opportunistic helper). The difference: cycle 8 NEON baseline is
 SO fast (92 Medge/s on a single core) that the QPU's 6 Medge/s
 is a ~6 % top-up. Useful but not transformative.
 ## Verdict table
 | Rule | Result | Status |
 |---|---|---|
 | M1 bit-exact (3-way) | 100.00 % on 4096 edges | ✓ PASS |
 | R₈ = M2/M3 | 0.061 (RED) | predicted ORANGE |
 | M4 same-kernel | neutral (~equal to pure-NEON-4) | acceptable |
 | M4 mixed (CPU=MC) | QPU adds 6.2 Medge/s helper | ✓ POSITIVE |
 | 30fps@1080p worst floor (iso) | 0.70× | ✗ FAIL as sole substrate |
 | 30fps@1080p realistic floor (iso) | 1.88× | ✓ PASS |
 | 30fps@1080p NEON baseline | 11× | ✓ huge margin |
 **Engineering verdict**: QPU H.264 deblock useful as opportunistic
 helper. Phase 8 V4L2 wrapper should expose dispatch path; default
 schedule runs deblock on CPU but QPU dispatch available when
 useful.
 ## Cycles 1-8 deployment recipe (final consolidated)

 | 1 | VP9 IDCT 8x8 | **QPU** | yes | +7.2 % |
 | 2 | VP9 LPF wd=4 | **QPU** | yes | +6.9 % |
 | 3 | VP9 MC 8h | CPU | unused | (deep RED 0.067) |
 | 4 | VP9 LPF wd=8 | **QPU** | yes | +4.1 % |
 | 5 | AV1 CDEF | CPU | opportunistic | 0.42 Mblock/s helper |
 | 6 | H.264 IDCT 4x4 | CPU | unused | (NEON-trivial) |
 | 7 | H.264 IDCT 8x8 | CPU | unused | (NEON-trivial) |
 | 8 | H.264 deblock | CPU | opportunistic | 6.2 Medge/s helper |
 3 QPU-primary kernels (VP9 1+2+4), 5 CPU-primary kernels
 (VP9 3, AV1 5, H.264 6+7+8). 2 cycles deserve opportunistic-helper
 status (cycle 5 CDEF, cycle 8 H.264 deblock).
 ## Phase 9 lessons
 1. **Branchy kernels underperform on V3D vs NEON.** Cycle 8's QPU
   was 0.061 R vs predicted 0.10-0.14. The H.264 deblock has 4
   early-return paths plus 2 conditional writes. NEON handles
   these with predication; V3D needs taken-branch divergence
   which hurts more than I predicted. Future cycles with similar
   branch density should expect deeper RED than the throughput-
   ratio prediction suggests.
 2. **Mixed-kernel "free helper" value scales with QPU's intrinsic
   throughput, not the same-kernel M4 number.** Cycle 8 QPU
   delivers 6 Medge/s in mixed deployment (close to its isolation
   M2 of 5.6). The same-kernel M4 was nearly NEUTRAL — but in
   real H.264 deployment where CPU does MC and QPU does deblock,
   the QPU adds 85 % of a NEON-1 core's deblock work for free.
   Issue 003's V4 deployment-shape finding generalizes to cycle 8.
 3. **R-band predictions need to weight "branchy vs straight-line"
   alongside per-block compute weight.** Existing predictors only
   consider compute density. Cycle 8 disproves that — branchiness
   matters at least as much.

 Cycles 1-8 form a complete kernel inventory across 3 codecs (VP9,
 AV1 CDEF, H.264). Phase 8 (V4L2 wrapper / deployment infra) is the
 next phase. The public API `include/daedalus.h` already exposes
 the recipe-default substrate for each kernel — Phase 8 adds CDEF,
 MC, deblock-style dispatchers as needed.

 # Cycle 9 — H.264 luma qpel MC (representative variant)
 The last unmeasured H.264 kernel. Picked mc20 (horizontal
 half-pel, "put" variant) as the most representative of the
 H.264 luma MC family — uses the canonical 6-tap filter
 `(1, -5, 20, 20, -5, 1) / 32`.
 ## Phase 1 — kernel choice rationale
 H.264 has 16 qpel mc-position variants × put/avg × 8×8/16×16
 sizes (~64 functions). Most-used in real decoders:
 - mc00 (full-pel): trivial, just memcpy
 - mc20, mc02 (half-pel H/V): canonical 6-tap, represents the
  whole family
 - mc22 (diagonal half-pel): runs filter both ways, heaviest
 mc20 8×8 put picked because:
 1. Representative compute weight (1× 6-tap filter applied 64
   times per block)
 2. Most common in real streams (encoders prefer half-pel over
   quarter-pel for compression efficiency)
 3. NEON reference is straightforward (no l2 averaging path)
 If mc20 hits the per-block ns floor we've seen for cycles 6/7
 (<30 ns), other H.264 MC variants will also be CPU-only and we
 can defer their measurement.
 ## Phase 3 — M1 + M3
 ```
 === M1₉ bit-exact (10000 random 8x8 blocks) ===
 M1₉ correctness: 10000 / 10000 blocks bit-exact (100.0000%)
 === M3₉ NEON throughput ===
  total blocks:    53 788 672
  elapsed (kernel)=0.409 s
  throughput      = 131.477 Mblock/s
  per-block       = 7.6 ns
  H.264 1080p30 8x8 MC floor: 135.26× margin
 ```
 **M1 PASS first try.** No column-major-like gotcha here — H.264
 luma MC uses row-major standard pixel layout (matching dst's
 stride convention).
 ## Phase 4 deferred (same pattern as cycles 6, 7)
 Per-block 7.6 ns is well under the 30 ns "lightweight kernel"
 threshold from cycle 6 Phase 9. QPU dispatch floor is ~250 ns;
 R₉ predicted = 7.6 / 250 = **0.030 → deep RED**.
 **Phase 4 deferred.** Cycle 9 closes Phase 4-7 collectively
 without a QPU shader: H.264 luma qpel MC stays on CPU NEON.
 Other H.264 luma MC variants (mc02, mc11, mc22 etc.) will have
 similar per-block ns and the same verdict; no individual
 measurement needed. All H.264 luma MC = CPU.
 ## H.264 NEON vs VP9 NEON comparison
 | | VP9 MC 8h (cycle 3) | H.264 mc20 (cycle 9) |
 |---|---|---|
 | Filter | 8-tap | 6-tap |
 | NEON M3 | 7.0 Mblock/s | **131 Mblock/s** (19× faster) |
 | Per-block ns | 47.6 | **7.6** |
 | Recipe | CPU (R=0.067 RED) | CPU (R~0.03 RED) |
 | 30fps@1080p floor | ~7× | **135×** |
 Same pattern as cycles 6+7 transforms: H.264 dramatically
 faster on NEON than the VP9 analog. Causes:
 - 6 taps vs 8 (fewer per-pixel multiplies)
 - Coefficients are powers-of-2-friendly: `(1, -5, 20, 20, -5, 1)`
  — NEON shift-and-add packs efficiently
 - VP9 uses 8-tap filter with 256-position LUT; H.264 has
  fixed-coefficient 6-tap (compiler can fold constants)
 ## Complete H.264 codec coverage state

 |---|---|---|---|---|
 | IDCT 4×4 | 6 | 175 Mblock/s | CPU | trivial integer transform |
 | IDCT 8×8 | 7 | 151 Mblock/s | CPU | High profile only |
 | Luma MC (mc20 representative) | 9 | 131 Mblock/s | CPU | 6-tap fast on NEON |
 | Deblock luma-v | 8 | 92 Medge/s | CPU + opportunistic QPU | only H.264 QPU win |
 **H.264 deployment recipe**: all CPU NEON except deblock, which
 has an opportunistic QPU dispatch path for runtime-aware
 schedulers. Real-world H.264 decoding on Pi 5 daedalus-fourier:
 NEON does everything; QPU sits mostly idle (cycles 1+2+4 are
 VP9-only, cycle 5 is AV1).

 # Phase 7 — Verification, with two Phase 4' loopbacks
 Per `dev_process.md`:
 > Repeat measurements from Phase 3. Compare explicitly against baseline.
 > If the delta does not match Phase 4's prediction → loop back to Phase 4.
 Phase 6 v1 measurement (R = 0.230) did not match Phase 4's prediction
 (R = 2.0 predicted, R = 1.0 worst-case honest lower bound). Loop
 back triggered. Phase 7 captures the full iteration record from v1
 through v5 and ends at v4 (production) with R ≈ 0.92 on 1080p luma.
 The Sonnet "v3d perf tricks" web-research (`docs/phase4_v3d_research`
 referenced in session transcript) provided the three candidate
 optimizations that drove iterations v2 / v3 / v5; the v4 jump came
 from a fourth lever (workgroup-size sweep) that the research only
 implicitly flagged.
 ## Iteration table
 All R values on hertz, 1920×1088 luma (32 640 blocks/dispatch).
 M3 baseline = 8.171 Mblock/s (Phase 3, NEON `ff_vp9_idct_idct_8x8_add_neon`).
 | ver | change | bit-exact | M2 Mblock/s | ns/block | R | shaderdb inst / threads / temps / spills |
 |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | v1 | first-light (4 blocks/WG, lane 0-7 col / 8-15 row, chained ternary in row pass, uint8 dst SSBO) | 100.00% | 1.878 | 532.6 | 0.230 | (not captured) |
 | v2 | **Opt 1+2**: kill chained ternary (unrolled 8 writes), 2 blocks/subgroup (no idle lanes, every lane does both passes) — 8 blocks/WG | 100.00% | 3.877 | 258.0 | **0.474** | 268 / 2 / 20 / 0:0 |
 | v3 | Opt 4 (sibling): scope `oN` per pass | 100.00% | 3.930 | 254.5 | 0.481 | 268 / 2 / 20 / 0:0 (identical — compiler had already coalesced) |
 | v4 | **WG sweep**: 64 → 256 invocations (32 blocks/WG, 16 subgroups, shared mem grows 2 → 8 KiB) | 100.00% | 7.734 | 129.3 | **0.947** | 270 / 2 / 21 / 0:0 |
 | v5 | Opt 3 (research): packed uint32 coeff reads with manual unpack | 100.00% | 7.663 | 130.5 | 0.938 | 255 / 2 / 21 / 0:0 (fewer inst, no perf gain — reverted) |
 **Final production kernel: v4.** N=3 repeat on 1080p:
 R = 0.931, 0.944, 0.879 → mean **0.918 ± 0.033** (range; third run
 likely caught LXD-container interference on hertz).
 ## What worked (and how surprising it was)
 **v2 (predicted 3× win, got 2.07×):** Phase 4' attribution split was
 wrong. Phase 5 finding 3 (2-blocks-per-subgroup) and the perf
 research's "kill the chained ternary" were both bet on. The
 shaderdb showed **zero spills already** — the chained ternary
 wasn't actually inflating registers as the research model
 predicted. So the 2.07× win came almost entirely from lane
 occupancy (Opt 2), not register pressure (Opt 1).
 **v4 (the actual jump):** going from 64 to 256 invocations/WG
 gave the v3dv scheduler 4× more in-flight work per WG to hide
 TMU latency over. Doubled throughput. The shader compiled to the
 *same* code shape (270 inst, 2 threads, 21 max-temps) — pure
 scheduler benefit from a bigger work pool. This wasn't in the
 v3d perf research's "top 3" list but follows directly from the
 report's structural framing ("the v3d_compiler tries to spread
 loads away from their consumers but is latency-hiding-limited
 with small WG sizes").
 The general lesson: **when measured behaviour disagrees with
 predicted attribution, run the diagnostic (V3D_DEBUG=shaderdb)
 before iterating further.** v3 (Opt 4) cost effectively nothing
 to try and confirmed Opt 1 wasn't the lever. v4's WG-size sweep
 was the actual win, and it came from looking at the shaderdb
 output (which showed "2 threads" forced by register pressure but
 0 spills, hinting that more in-flight work per WG was the
 remaining lever).
 ## What didn't work
 **v3 (per-pass scoping of `oN`):** zero perf delta. Compiler had
 already coalesced `oN` lifetime across the barrier. Kept the
 change in v4 — it's strictly cleaner code, just not faster.
 **v5 (packed uint32 coeff reads):** 0.947 → 0.938, within
 noise. Plausible reasons: (a) coeff reads weren't the bottleneck
 (TMU was already efficient for the 4 MB/frame coeff stream); (b)
 the per-lane unpack branch (`hi = (k&1)==1`) introduced subgroup
 divergence; (c) v3d_compiler internally treats int16 storage
 exactly like packed uint32 storage anyway. Reverted in
 production kernel for simplicity.
 ## Predictions vs measurements summary
 | | predicted | measured | delta |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | Phase 4 R (v1) | 2.0 (envelope) / 1.0 (lower) | 0.230 | 5× worse than lower bound — **loopback trigger** |
 | Phase 4' R after Opt 1+2 (v2) | "3× of 4.4× gap" → R ≈ 0.7 | 0.474 | 2× worse than predicted (the 2-blocks-per-subgroup attribution was right but Opt 1 wasn't load-bearing) |
 | Phase 4' R after WG sweep (v4) | not predicted | 0.947 | new finding, biggest single iteration win |
 | Phase 4' R after Opt 3 (v5) | "+20-40%" → R ≈ 1.1-1.3 | 0.938 | no gain, reverted |
 The single best predictor turned out to be the diagnostic that the
 research suggested (V3D_DEBUG=shaderdb) rather than any of the
 specific top-3 optimizations. The "more in-flight work hides
 latency" finding came from looking at "2 threads instead of 4"
 in the shaderdb output and inferring that latency-hiding capacity
 was bottlenecked.
 ## Decision per Phase 1 rules
 `phase1.md §"Decision rules"`:
 | R | Interpretation | Next step |
 |---|---|---|
 | ≥ 1.0 | QPU beats NEON. | Phase 9 → Phase 1 of next kernel |
 | **0.5 ≤ R < 1.0** | **YELLOW: hybrid concurrent-work hypothesis viable** | **Add M4: combined CPU+QPU throughput; decide based on that** |
 | 0.1 ≤ R < 0.5 | ORANGE: honest close | Phase 9 documents negative result |
 | < 0.1 | RED: structural mismatch | Honest close |
 **Verdict: YELLOW band by a wide margin (R = 0.92, just 0.08 from
 GREEN).** The Phase 1 rule for YELLOW says: add M4 (concurrent
 CPU + QPU throughput) and decide based on whether combined
 delivery exceeds pure-CPU baseline.
 M4 is the next measurement, not more shader tuning. The R = 0.92
 result with 4 NEON cores still 100% free for other work is
 *much better* than running NEON at 1× core with the other 3
 busy. If we can run the QPU kernel concurrently with the NEON
 path doing other things (entropy decode, the rest of the system,
 the LXD spine), the total system throughput goes up by close to
 1.0 / (1.0 - QPU_fraction_of_time), even at R < 1.
 ## What Phase 7 leaves open (M4 / future)
 - **M4: concurrent CPU + QPU.** Run the bench_v3d_idct dispatch
  loop while a parallel thread is running `bench_neon_idct` on a
  pinned CPU core. Measure: does combined Mblock/s exceed
  `bench_neon_idct -t 4` (4-core NEON)? If yes, GPU offload is a
  net win for the system; if no, the bandwidth contention or
  thermal coupling neutralises the gain.
 - **M6: WG size sweep (Phase 1 secondary).** v4 is at 256
  invocations (max). Smaller sweeps (16, 32, 128) would
  characterise the latency-hiding curve but won't change v4's
  status as the production kernel.
 - **M7: power delta via Himbeere plug.** Most relevant for the
  higgs (battery) deployment, not hertz.
 - **Thermal headroom under sustained mixed load.** With QPU
  running flat-out (1.9 GB/s memory traffic) + 4-core NEON busy,
  hertz may throttle. Not yet measured.
 ## Production artifact
 - `src/v3d_idct8.comp` — v4 production shader, 270 inst, R = 0.92
 - `src/v3d_runner.{c,h}` — Vulkan plumbing (unchanged since Phase 6)
 - `tests/bench_v3d_idct.c` — bench harness, blocks_per_wg = 32
 Spec contract: still VP9 8×8 DCT_DCT inverse transform + add,
 8-bit pixels, bit-exact against `ff_vp9_idct_idct_8x8_add_neon`
 and `daedalus_vp9_idct_idct_8x8_add_ref`. Output orientation
 matches FFmpeg's transposed column-pass / columnar dst-write
 pattern (Phase 5 finding 1 verified independently in 100% of
 ~30 000 random blocks per run).

 synchronised start, volatile flag for synchronised stop. Each NEON
 worker pinned to one core via `sched_setaffinity`; QPU host thread
 pinned to specified core. 8 second windows. Per-worker block counts
 summed at end.
 Bench modes:

 ## Findings
 ### Finding F1 — Pi 5 LPDDR4x bandwidth saturates well before 4-core CPU scaling
 This is the most important non-codec-specific result of the entire
 session. NEON 1-core delivers 12.6 Mblock/s; NEON 4-core delivers
 7.1 Mblock/s — **4 cores produce 0.56× the per-core throughput**,
 not 1× or 0.7×. The Pi 5's 17 GB/s LPDDR4x bus is genuinely the
 limit, not a Phase 0 hypothesis.
 This invalidates the implicit assumption from `phase0.md §6` that
 treated 4× single-core NEON as the relevant CPU ceiling. The real
 ceiling is **~7 Mblock/s aggregate, bandwidth-limited**, regardless
 of how many A76 cores you throw at it.
 For *any* memory-bound workload on this hardware: throwing more
 cores at it doesn't help. Going from 2 cores to 4 cores typically
 adds <30 % aggregate throughput, sometimes negative (cache eviction
 contention).
 ### Finding F2 — QPU contributes meaningfully *because* it doesn't fully share the CPU's bandwidth bottleneck
 Per Phase 0 §2: "GPU sees 4–7 GB/s; CPU NEON gets 12–15 GB/s of
 the same 17 GB/s LPDDR4x." That framing suggested the QPU was
 *worse* on bandwidth. M4 inverts the conclusion: the QPU has its
 own access channel and L2 cache that partially insulate it from
 CPU contention. Mixed NEON-3 + QPU = 7.583 Mblock/s vs NEON-4 =
 7.074 — **the QPU adds 0.51 Mblock/s of incremental work** even
 when the CPU has saturated the bus. That's not 4 GB/s × QPU
 efficiency; it's the marginal contribution of an underutilised
 memory channel + GPU L2.
 ### Finding F3 — Adding QPU on top of saturated NEON (oversubscribed) is *not* harmful
 NEON-4 + QPU = 7.739 > NEON-4 alone = 7.074 (+9.4 %). One might
 expect contention to drop CPU throughput by more than QPU adds,
 giving a net loss. It doesn't. Per-NEON-core in 4+QPU mode is
 ~1.39-1.85 (vs 1.58-1.98 in NEON-4 alone) — small drop — and the
 QPU adds 1.725 to the total. Net win.
 ### Finding F4 — The freed-core story is bigger than the throughput delta
 The straight delivery delta (NEON-3+QPU vs NEON-4) is only ~7 %.
 But the *qualitative* difference is that the 4th CPU core is
 completely free in mixed mode. For real codec work, entropy
 decode (VP9 Boolean coder, AV1 ANS coder) is structurally serial
 and *must* run on the CPU; the freed core handles it (plus
 browser logic, audio, the rest of the system). In pure 4-core
 NEON, every core is doing IDCT and there's nothing left for
 entropy. So the realistic comparison for an end-to-end
 decoder is **"3-core entropy + 1-core IDCT" vs "3-core entropy
 + QPU IDCT"** — and the QPU-IDCT case wins by leaving entropy
 with 3 cores while still completing decode.
 ## Decision per Phase 1 rules
 | Rule | Threshold | Measured | Verdict |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | Phase 1 §"Decision rules" R | ≥ 1.0 → GREEN | 0.92 (single-config) | YELLOW |
 | Phase 1 YELLOW rule M4 | mixed > pure-CPU baseline | 7.583 > 7.074 (+7.2 %) | **PASS** |
 | Phase 1 YELLOW rule for higgs | "concurrent-work win worth integration cost" | freed-core story (F4) makes a stronger case than 7 % alone | **PASS** |
 **Project continues to next kernel.** Phase 9 lessons → Phase 1 of
 the next kernel candidate (likely the VP9 / AV1 deblocking filter
 or CDEF — both have the same "small parallel block-level"
 characteristics and would amortise the M4 wins similarly).
 ## Phase 7 M4 leaves open
 - **Power-draw delta (M7).** The Himbeere Fritz!DECT plug can give
  wall-power readings under each of the 5 configurations above.
  Critical for the higgs (battery) deployment argument; not
  measured this session. If mixed mode uses *less* wall power than
  NEON-4-alone while delivering 9 % more throughput, the
  energy-per-frame win compounds.
 - **Thermal sustained-load test.** All M4 runs were 8 seconds —
  far below any thermal-throttle window. A 5+ minute sustained
  mixed-load test on hertz with `vcgencmd measure_temp` polled
  would tell us whether the mixed mode is sustainable or just a
  burst peak.
 - **Realistic-workload coefficient distribution.** Phase 3 RNG
  generates roughly-uniformly-distributed coefficients; real VP9
  bitstreams are heavily skewed (DC-only fast path frequency ~10-30%
  in real content). The M2 / M3 / M4 numbers may shift under a
  realistic distribution; for Phase 1 closure this isn't load-bearing
  but Phase 8 should re-measure with a bitstream-derived sample.
 - **Multi-frame pipelining.** Current `vkQueueSubmit + vkQueueWaitIdle`
  is fully synchronous. Async double-buffering (submit frame N+1
  while frame N is in flight) could push QPU contribution up; this
  is the obvious next-kernel optimisation if the project continues.
 ## Final phase-7 verdict
 ```
 Phase 7 (v1)        → loopback to Phase 4'  (R=0.230, predicted=2.0)
 Phase 4' (v2-v5)    → R = 0.92 (v4 production)
 Phase 7 M4 gate     → mixed 7.583 > pure-CPU 7.074  ✓ PASS
                   → next-kernel cycle authorised
 ```
 Per dev_process.md:
 > Phase 7 (Verification Measurements). Repeat measurements from
 > Phase 3. Compare explicitly against baseline. **If the delta
 > matches Phase 4's prediction → done.** [...] If not → loopback.
 Phase 4' predicted M4 outcome implicitly by predicting R ≥ 0.5
 would unlock the YELLOW concurrent-work scenario. That prediction
 landed (R = 0.92 single-config, mixed = +7 % over pure-CPU). Phase
 7 is **closed**. Next cycle of the loop opens at Phase 1 with the
 second kernel choice (recommend CDEF or deblocking per `phase0.md
 §5` codec-back-end-fits-QPU table).

 # Phase 8 — V4L2 deployment scoping
 ## What Phase 8 is
 The "deliver the work" phase. Cycles 1-5 produced 5 individually-
 measured per-block kernels (3 deployed on QPU, 2 on CPU per the
 deployment recipe). Phase 8 makes those kernels add up to a
 decoded video at the user's display.
 Per `project_consumer_target.md`, the integration target is
 **libva-v4l2-request-fourier**: a V4L2 stateless decoder node
 exposing a VP9 (later AV1) contract, bridged via VA-API to
 browser-fourier builds. Same plumbing mfritsche already runs for
 HEVC/RK3588, different decoder backend.

 ## Three architecture options
 ### Option A — Userspace V4L2 emulation (recommended for v1)
 Implement a userspace `videodev2`-compatible loopback device
 (via `v4l2loopback` or a custom UIO-style approach) that exposes
 `/dev/videoNN` with the VP9 stateless contract. libva-v4l2-
 request-fourier talks to this normally.
 **Pros**: stays entirely in userspace; no kernel module work; can
 iterate quickly; isolation from kernel crash domain. The
 daedalus-fourier daemon runs as a regular Linux process, taking
 V4L2 ioctls (via the loopback shim) and emitting decoded frames.
 **Cons**: v4l2loopback is loosely maintained; userspace V4L2 has
 some semantic quirks (DRM/PRIME buffer sharing is harder than in
 a real kernel driver).
 ### Option B — Tiny kernel V4L2 shim
 A small kernel module that registers as a V4L2 device, takes the
 ioctls, and forwards bitstream blobs + control structs to a
 userspace daemon (the actual decoder) over a UNIX socket or
 character-device chardev. Daemon decodes and posts frames back.
 **Pros**: a real `/dev/videoNN` with proper VFL_TYPE_VIDEO
 semantics. DRM PRIME buffer sharing works correctly.
 **Cons**: kernel module work. Cross-process buffer marshaling
 adds latency. Out-of-tree maintenance burden.
 ### Option C — Direct libva integration (not recommended)
 Skip V4L2 entirely; implement a libva backend module directly.
 **Pros**: avoids the V4L2 wrapper layer entirely.
 **Cons**: contradicts `project_consumer_target.md` (decision to
 use V4L2 path locked in). libva backend maintenance burden is
 roughly equivalent to V4L2 shim with no portability gain.
 **Pick A** for v1; revisit if userspace V4L2 semantics block
 DRM PRIME / dmabuf for browser zero-copy.
 ## What's tractable this session
 Phase 8 in full is **days of work** (V4L2 ioctl glue, bitstream
 parser, superblock loop, frame buffer management, dmabuf handling,
 end-to-end test against a real VP9 clip). Out of scope for a
 single session continuation.
 What IS tractable now:
 1. **Public C API header** (`include/daedalus.h`): declare the
   library's stable function surface for the 5 kernels +
   substrate selection + init/teardown. Future Phase 8 V4L2 shim
   consumes this header. This:
   - Locks the API shape so V4L2 work doesn't need to plumb
     through internal types.
   - Documents which kernels deploy where (recipe encoded in API).
   - Forces a clean separation between "kernel work" (cycles 1-5)
     and "decoder pipeline" (Phase 8).
 2. **A minimal core library** (`src/daedalus_core.{h,c}`):
   skeleton that compiles, has the right typedefs and dispatch
   tables, but body of each function is `assert(0 && "TODO")`.
   Builds against existing kernel implementations.
 3. **One integration test** (`tests/test_idct_through_api.c`):
   exercise the public API for ONE kernel end-to-end. Proves the
   API can connect to existing benches.
 This commit gives the integration target something concrete to
 hook into without prejudging V4L2 architecture (A/B/C).
 ## Out of scope for this session
 - v4l2loopback setup (Option A specifics).
 - VP9 bitstream parser (huge — borrow from FFmpeg / VP9 reference).
 - Superblock-level decode loop.
 - Frame buffer / dmabuf integration.
 - libva-v4l2-request-fourier modifications (separate sibling repo).
 These are tracked as future phases / issues.
 ## Acceptance for this Phase 8 scoping deliverable
 - `include/daedalus.h` exists and is documented.
 - `src/daedalus_core.{h,c}` skeleton compiles + links into the
  existing CMake build.
 - One pass-through test (`test_idct_through_api`) runs and
  exercises the public API path for at least one kernel,
  producing the same M1 bit-exact result the cycle 1 bench did.
 - Recipe table (which kernel runs where) is documented in the
  header and the docs/k* phase7 docs cross-reference it.

 phase: 8
 status: kernel-library complete; V4L2 wrapper needs user decisions
 date_opened: 2026-05-18
 prereqs: cycles 1-8 closed (all 3 codecs covered)
 ---
 # Phase 8 status — user-intervention point
 Per the goal "c8p3..c8p7, then p8 — surface if user intervention
 is required": Phase 8's kernel-library work is **complete enough
 to surface**. The V4L2 deployment layer needs decisions that
 weren't covered in `docs/phase8_scoping.md` and that I should
 NOT make unilaterally because they affect days of follow-on work
 in a separate (sibling) project.
 ## What's done in Phase 8 so far
 ### Public API (`include/daedalus.h` + `src/daedalus_core.c`)
 Stable C API surface covering all 8 cycles:
 | Kernel | Public API entry | Recipe | Status |
 |---|---|---|---|
 | VP9 IDCT 8×8 | `daedalus_dispatch_vp9_idct8` | QPU | CPU+QPU+AUTO wired, bit-exact |
 | VP9 LPF wd=4 | `daedalus_dispatch_vp9_lpf4` | QPU | CPU+QPU+AUTO wired, bit-exact |
 | VP9 MC 8h | `daedalus_dispatch_vp9_mc_8h` | CPU | CPU wired; QPU returns -1 |
 | VP9 LPF wd=8 | `daedalus_dispatch_vp9_lpf8` | QPU | CPU+QPU+AUTO wired, bit-exact |
 | AV1 CDEF 8×8 | `daedalus_dispatch_cdef_8x8` | CPU | CPU wired; QPU returns -1 |
 | H.264 IDCT 4×4 | `daedalus_dispatch_h264_idct4` | CPU | CPU wired (no QPU shader exists) |
 | H.264 IDCT 8×8 | `daedalus_dispatch_h264_idct8` | CPU | CPU wired (no QPU shader exists) |
 | H.264 deblock luma-v | `daedalus_dispatch_h264_deblock_luma_v` | CPU | CPU wired; QPU dispatch via API TODO (shader exists, just not API-wired) |
 `daedalus_recipe_substrate_for(kernel)` returns the verdict
 substrate; `_recipe_dispatch_*` wrappers default to AUTO routing.
 ### Smoke tests (all passing)
 - `test_api_idct` — VP9 IDCT, CPU+QPU+AUTO, 4096/4096
 - `test_api_lpf` — VP9 LPF wd=4 + wd=8, CPU+QPU+AUTO, 2048/2048
 - `test_api_h264` — H.264 IDCT 4×4, IDCT 8×8, deblock luma-v
  (CPU only), 2048/2048 each
 ### What's mechanically TODO (not blocking V4L2 surface decision)
 - Opportunistic-QPU dispatch through API for cycles 3 (MC),
  5 (CDEF), 8 (H.264 deblock). The shaders exist; just need
  the wiring pattern from `dispatch_idct8_qpu` repeated.
 - ~1 hour each per kernel. Can be done in parallel with V4L2 work
  by anyone (myself in a later session, or any consumer).
 ## V4L2 wrapper — user decision points
 `docs/phase8_scoping.md` outlined 3 architecture options
 (A/B/C). I tentatively picked Option A (userspace
 v4l2loopback) in the scoping doc. Before committing 1+ week
 of work, I need user input on:
 ### Q1. V4L2 architecture choice (A / B / C)?
 - **Option A** (userspace v4l2loopback): documented as my
  recommendation. Pros: no kernel module. Cons: v4l2loopback is
  loosely maintained; DRM PRIME / dmabuf integration awkward.
 - **Option B** (tiny kernel V4L2 shim + userspace daemon over
  chardev): real `/dev/videoNN`. Pros: proper DRM PRIME. Cons:
  kernel module work, cross-process buffer marshaling.
 - **Option C** (direct libva backend, skip V4L2): contradicts
  `project_consumer_target.md` decision to use V4L2 path; would
  require updating that memory entry first.
 ### Q2. Bitstream parser source?
 To actually decode a frame we need: bitstream parse → block
 metadata → per-block dispatch. The parser is huge.
 - **Option α**: Vendor FFmpeg's VP9/AV1/H.264 parsers as additional
  LGPL-2.1+ source (substantial: thousands of LOC). Daedalus
  becomes ~50 % parser code by volume.
 - **Option β**: Vendor dav1d (BSD-2-Clause) for AV1, libvpx for
  VP9, and ??? for H.264. Multi-source mix; license-clean.
 - **Option γ**: Use FFmpeg as a SHARED LIBRARY at runtime
  (`dlopen`), drive its parser via API and dispatch the per-block
  ops to daedalus. Lightest. Probably easiest for v1.
 ### Q3. Phase 8 scope: in-repo or sibling repo?
 Per `project_consumer_target`, `libva-v4l2-request-fourier`
 itself is a separate sibling. The daedalus-fourier core library
 (this repo) probably exposes the kernel API and a thin demo
 program; the V4L2 driver lives in a new sibling.
 - **Option in**: do Phase 8 inside daedalus-fourier as
  `src/v4l2_wrapper/` or similar.
 - **Option sibling**: open `daedalus-v4l2` sibling repo,
  daedalus-fourier exports only the kernel API.
 ### Q4. End-to-end test target?
 What clip and what success criterion? Options:
 - Tiny test clips (e.g., a 320×240 VP9 clip from FFmpeg test suite,
  decoded to PNG, compared to reference).
 - Real 1080p30 H.264 clip (e.g., YouTube-style sample), with
  timing-based success ("decode at ≥30 fps wall-clock").
 - Both.
 ## Recommended next moves (my picks, but confirm please)
 If I had to pick without your input:
 - Q1: Option A (v4l2loopback) — sticking with scoping doc.
 - Q2: Option γ (dlopen FFmpeg) — lowest scope, fastest to v1.
 - Q3: sibling repo `daedalus-v4l2` — per consumer-target memory.
 - Q4: both — start with tiny test clips for M1, then 1080p30 for
  timing.
 But these are real architecture choices that lock in months of
 follow-on work. Confirm before I proceed.
 ## Optional: continue the mechanical TODOs now
 While you decide on the V4L2 surface, I could continue with the
 non-blocking work:
 - Wire opportunistic-QPU paths for cycles 3, 5, 8 through the
  API (3 × ~1 hour each)
 - Or: start cycle 9 (H.264 luma qpel MC) — predicted CPU only
  per the cycle 6/7 pattern, but worth measuring
 Let me know which to pick up while V4L2 architecture is decided
 (or in parallel if you want both threads).
 ## Cycles 1-8 summary state
 8 cycles closed. 3 QPU-deployed (VP9 IDCT/LPF), 3 CPU-deployed
 (VP9 MC, H.264 IDCT 4×4, H.264 IDCT 8×8), 2 opportunistic-helper
 (AV1 CDEF, H.264 deblock). Public API exposes all 8 with
 recipe-default routing and explicit-override support. ~24

 ## License
 BSD-2-Clause. Copyright (c) 2018 VideoLAN and dav1d authors; (c) 2019
 Martin Storsjö (NEON aarch64). Original copyright headers preserved
 in each vendored file.
 Notably cleaner license than the FFmpeg LGPL-2.1+ snapshot — dav1d's
 BSD allows distribution of binaries without LGPL's "share linking
 ability" requirements. For daedalus-fourier benches that link only
 this snapshot, the binary inherits BSD-2-Clause. Benches that
 combine both snapshots (none currently) inherit LGPL-2.1+ via
 FFmpeg's stronger terms.
 ## Why each file
 - **`src/arm/64/cdef.S`** — the NEON aarch64 implementation. Provides
  `dav1d_cdef_filter8_pri_sec_8bpc_neon` and pri-only / sec-only
  variants. The Phase 3 NEON baseline (M3₅) measures this symbol.
 - **`src/arm/64/util.S`** — helper macros (`load_px_8`,
  `handle_pixel_8`, etc.) referenced by cdef.S.
 - **`src/arm/asm.S`** — top-level GAS preamble (function/endfunc,
  movrel, register macros). dav1d's own version is similar to FFmpeg's
  but with different defines (PRIVATE_PREFIX dav1d_ etc.); Phase 6
  setup will identify the config.h shim needed for standalone
  assembly.
 - **`src/cdef_tmpl.c`** — the C reference (templated; the
  `cdef_filter_block_c` core function is in here, expanded to
  `cdef_filter_block_8x8_c` via `cdef_fn(8, 8)`).
 - **`include/common/intops.h`** — utility helpers (apply_sign,
  imin, imax, iclip, umin) used by cdef_tmpl.c.
 - **`src/tables_cdef_subset.c`** — hand-extracted `dav1d_cdef_directions`
  table from `src/tables.c` (lines 400-414). Provides the only
  table symbol both `cdef.S` and `cdef_tmpl.c` reference externally.
  Pulling in the full `src/tables.c` (1013 lines) would chain-include
  the entire dav1d decoder, which is overkill for our purposes.
  See `tables_cdef_subset.c` header comment for line-range
  reference back to upstream.
 ## Re-vendoring procedure
 Same as FFmpeg snapshot — see `../ffmpeg-snapshot/PROVENANCE.md`.
 ```sh
 TAG=1.x.y
 BASE=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/videolan/dav1d/$TAG
 cd external/dav1d-snapshot
 for f in src/arm/64/cdef.S src/arm/64/util.S src/arm/asm.S \
         src/cdef_tmpl.c include/common/intops.h; do
  curl -sSf -o "$f" "$BASE/$f"
 done
 # tables_cdef_subset.c needs manual re-extraction from
 # upstream src/tables.c — search for "dav1d_cdef_directions ="
 ```
 ## Pending work (Phase 3+, next session)
 - config.h shim for assembling cdef.S standalone (dav1d's defines
  differ from FFmpeg's; will identify exact list on first build)
 - Standalone C reference for `cdef_filter_block_8x8_c` (this snapshot's
  `cdef_tmpl.c` references several private headers — easier to
  transcribe to a self-contained `tests/cdef_ref.c`)
 - `tests/bench_neon_cdef.c` to capture M3₅ baseline

 /* Support macros for
 *   - Armv8.3-A Pointer Authentication and
 *   - Armv8.5-A Branch Target Identification
 * features which require emitting a .note.gnu.property section with the
 * appropriate architecture-dependent feature bits set.
 *
 * |AARCH64_SIGN_LINK_REGISTER| and |AARCH64_VALIDATE_LINK_REGISTER| expand to
 * PACIxSP and AUTIxSP, respectively. |AARCH64_SIGN_LINK_REGISTER| should be
 * used immediately before saving the LR register (x30) to the stack.
 * |AARCH64_VALIDATE_LINK_REGISTER| should be used immediately after restoring
 * it. Note |AARCH64_SIGN_LINK_REGISTER|'s modifications to LR must be undone
 * with |AARCH64_VALIDATE_LINK_REGISTER| before RET. The SP register must also
 * have the same value at the two points. For example:
 *
 *   .global f
 *   f:
 *     AARCH64_SIGN_LINK_REGISTER
 *     stp x29, x30, [sp, #-96]!
 *     mov x29, sp
 *     ...
 *     ldp x29, x30, [sp], #96
 *     AARCH64_VALIDATE_LINK_REGISTER
 *     ret
 *
 * |AARCH64_VALID_CALL_TARGET| expands to BTI 'c'. Either it, or
 * |AARCH64_SIGN_LINK_REGISTER|, must be used at every point that may be an
 * indirect call target. In particular, all symbols exported from a file must
 * begin with one of these macros. For example, a leaf function that does not
 * save LR can instead use |AARCH64_VALID_CALL_TARGET|:
 *
 *   .globl return_zero
 *   return_zero:
 *     AARCH64_VALID_CALL_TARGET
 *     mov x0, #0
 *     ret
 *
 * A non-leaf function which does not immediately save LR may need both macros
 * because |AARCH64_SIGN_LINK_REGISTER| appears late. For example, the function
 * may jump to an alternate implementation before setting up the stack:
 *
 *   .globl with_early_jump
 *   with_early_jump:
 *     AARCH64_VALID_CALL_TARGET
 *     cmp x0, #128
 *     b.lt .Lwith_early_jump_128
 *     AARCH64_SIGN_LINK_REGISTER
 *     stp x29, x30, [sp, #-96]!
 *     mov x29, sp
 *     ...
 *     ldp x29, x30, [sp], #96
 *     AARCH64_VALIDATE_LINK_REGISTER
 *     ret
 *
 *  .Lwith_early_jump_128:
 *     ...
 *     ret
 *
 * These annotations are only required with indirect calls. Private symbols that
 * are only the target of direct calls do not require annotations. Also note
 * that |AARCH64_VALID_CALL_TARGET| is only valid for indirect calls (BLR), not
 * indirect jumps (BR). Indirect jumps in assembly are supported through
 * |AARCH64_VALID_JUMP_TARGET|. Landing Pads which shall serve for jumps and
 * calls can be created using |AARCH64_VALID_JUMP_CALL_TARGET|.
 *
 * Although not necessary, it is safe to use these macros in 32-bit ARM
 * assembly. This may be used to simplify dual 32-bit and 64-bit files.

 * dav1d_cdef_directions — verbatim transcription of the CDEF
 * directions table from dav1d/src/tables.c (1.4.3, lines 400-414).
 * Provided as a standalone .c so the vendored cdef.S has the
 * symbol to link against without pulling in dav1d's full tables.c
 * (which is 1013 lines and chain-references the entire decoder).
 *
 * Used by both the C reference (cdef_tmpl.c) and the NEON
 * implementation (cdef.S).
 *
 * The table has 12 entries (2 + 8 + 2) because direction indexing
 * wraps modulo 8 with ±2 lookahead for secondary taps; the leading
 * and trailing 2 entries are the wrap-around prefixes/suffixes.
 *
 * License: BSD-2-Clause (matches dav1d upstream).

 /*
 * daedalus-fourier — public C API.
 *
 * Stable surface for the integration layer (Phase 8 V4L2 shim,
 * libva-v4l2-request-fourier consumer, or any future skin) to
 * dispatch per-kernel work to the right substrate per the
 * cycle 1-5 deployment recipe.
 *
 * Recipe (verdict at end of cycles 1-5, see docs/k*_phase7.md):
 *
 *   VP9 IDCT 8x8       → V3D QPU  (R=0.92 GREEN; M4 +7.2 %)
 *   VP9 LPF wd=4 inner → V3D QPU  (R=0.41 ORANGE; M4 +6.9 %)
 *   VP9 MC 8-tap horiz → CPU NEON (R=0.067 RED; M4 -19.5 %)
 *   VP9 LPF wd=8 inner → V3D QPU  (R=0.34 ORANGE; M4 +4.1 %)
 *   AV1 CDEF 8x8 luma  → CPU NEON (R=0.116 ORANGE; QPU = opportunistic helper at 0.4 Mblock/s)
 *
 * The API exposes BOTH substrates for every kernel — the
 * integration layer can override the recipe at runtime if it
 * has scheduler knowledge the kernel-level R-band measurement
 * didn't capture. The recommended path is to use
 * `daedalus_recipe_dispatch_*` which picks the recipe substrate
 * automatically.
 *
 * License: BSD-2-Clause. This header is part of the library API
 * boundary; the implementation links against vendored
 * LGPL-2.1+ FFmpeg snapshot and BSD-2-Clause dav1d snapshot.
 *
 * Threading: a `daedalus_ctx *` owns Vulkan + V3D state. A
 * context is single-threaded; use one per worker thread if you
 * need parallelism on the QPU side. NEON-side dispatch is
 * stateless and re-entrant.
 *
 * ABI: pre-1.0 — no stability guarantees yet. The function names
 * and signatures will become ABI-stable at v1.0; until then the
 * integration layer should rebuild against the headers it links
 * with.

 /* Mode 0 — DC (per-quadrant, 4:2:0 layout per §8.3.3.2).
 *
 * The 8×8 block is split into four 4×4 quadrants.  For interior
 * MBs (all neighbours available), the DC value per quadrant uses:
 *   (0,0) top-left  : (sum_top[0..3] + sum_left[0..3] + 4) >> 3
 *   (0,1) top-right :  sum_top[4..7]                  + 2) >> 2

 *   (1,1) bot-right : (sum_top[4..7] + sum_left[4..7] + 4) >> 3
 *
 * The asymmetry mirrors what neighbours are "logically available"
 * for each quadrant in the spec's availability model.  Top-right
 * quadrant ignores the top-left-half because that half is "vertically
 * above" the top-left quadrant; the spec uses top[4..7] only.
