frank-primary: 2 bf16 windows + --expert-precise-memory

Both of Frank's changes at once.

KV is bf16 (--kv-cache-dtype auto) at two full-size windows (2 x 262144).
bf16 measures 13,839 B/token (bf16 3x241664 boot: 11,047,010,304 B -> 798,280
tokens), decomposing as 12,276 attention + 1,563 mamba/side caches vs fp8's
6,138 + 1,563 = 7,701. 524,288 tokens needs 7.256e9 B; pinned at 7.3e9
(~527,500 tokens, 3,206 margin). Pool cost: 5.68 -> 6.76 GiB per rank.

--expert-precise-memory selects the fitted overhead (5.25 GiB) over the default
(7.60 GiB = fitted + compile/graph-capture headroom). It moves only the plan's
 term, so the expert arena goes 6,248 -> ~7,278 slots (~1,025 more) at the
cost of boot-time capture slack. Overhead adds 0.22 GiB/1024 nbt above 4096, so
MNBT 2048 pays nothing.

Seam + docs + AGENTS row + log updated.

## 2026-10-01 — frank-primary: 2 bf16 windows + --expert-precise-memory
Frank's final shape for the night. Two changes at once, both measured in
principle before the boot:
- **KV is bf16 (`--kv-cache-dtype auto`), two full-size windows (2 × 262144).**
bf16 measures **13,839 B/token** (from the bf16 3×241664 boot:
11,047,010,304 B -> 798,280 tokens), decomposing as **12,276 attention +
1,563 mamba/side caches** against fp8's **6,138 + 1,563 = 7,701**. So
524,288 tokens needs 7.256e9 B; pinned at 7,300,000,000 (~527,500 tokens,
3,206 margin). Cost: the pool goes 5.68 -> 6.76 GiB per rank.
- **`--expert-precise-memory`.** The registry's default overhead for this
architecture is 7.60 GiB = the fitted 5.25 GiB (gfx1201 TP2
nbt4096/seqs16/len262144) + 2.35 GiB of compile/graph-capture headroom.
The flag selects the fitted figure, which moves only the plan's `room` term
— arena 6,248 -> ~7,278 slots (~1,025 more, at 2.344 MiB/slot) — at the
cost of boot-time capture slack. The overhead formula adds 0.22 GiB per
1024 nbt above 4096, so MNBT 2048 pays nothing.
Budget note worth keeping: the arena is `(budget - non_expert_weights -
kv_reserve - graphs - overhead) // expert_bytes`, where `kv_reserve` is the
planner's OWN one-max-model-len reserve (2.48 GiB at TP2) and does NOT scale
with SEQS. The pinned `--kv-cache-memory-bytes` therefore does not shrink the
planned arena; it comes out of free VRAM instead.
