#!/usr/bin/env python3 """Streaming absmax audit of the Swift1.5 PLE n-gram table (BF16). The PLE fp8 encoding uses ONE fixed scale (1.9931793212890625e-04, the official checkpoint's plateau value). fp8_e4m3 saturates at 448, so the fixed scale is legal iff absmax <= 448 * SCALE. This walks every ngram_embedding.shard_*.weight tensor in the checkpoint (mmap, no copy), computes the absmax from the BF16 bit pattern (clear the sign bit, max the remaining uint16 — BF16 magnitudes are monotone in their bits), and reports the headroom. Exit 0 only when headroom >= 1.5x. Run from any cwd EXCEPT /tmp on dankserver (/tmp/inspect.py shadows the stdlib).
