/*
 * vcipher-flash-attn-patch.c
 *
 * Integration patch for ops.cpp: ggml_compute_forward_flash_attn_ext_f16_one_chunk
 *
 * This shows the modified inner loop with vcipher prefiltering.
 * Apply to ~/llama.cpp/ggml/src/ggml-cpu/ops.cpp around line 8190.
 *
 * PHASE 2: vcipher prefilter — O(1) hardware crypto check per K-V pair.
 * Skip full dot product + softmax + V accumulation for low-score pairs.
 *
 * Expected: 4-16x fewer full dot products on long sequences.
