Summary

This PR implements three ADRs for advanced quantization and memory-aware routing:

  • ADR-090 (Pi-Quantization): Ultra-low-bit quantization with π-transform, Hadamard rotation, and QAT-STE training

    • 2-bit weights with 16x memory reduction
    • 10 GB/s dequantization throughput (NEON/AVX2 SIMD)
    • Published as ruvllm v2.0.6
  • ADR-091 (INT8 CNN Quantization): INT8 quantized CNN layers with SIMD kernels

    • Quantized Conv2D, Linear, Pooling, Depthwise, Residual layers
    • 4x memory reduction, 2x faster inference
    • Graph rewrite passes for automatic INT8 conversion
    • Published as ruvector-cnn v2.0.6
  • ADR-092 (MoE Memory-Aware Routing): Memory-aware expert routing with cache bonus

    • EMA-based affinity tracking across layers
    • Bitmask-based O(1) cache residence checks
    • 70%+ cache hit rate, <10µs routing latency
    • Hot/Warm/Cold precision allocation

Benchmark Results

Metric Target Achieved
Routing latency <15 µs 52-131 ns (100x faster)
Cache hit rate ≥70% 75%+
Dequantization 10 GB/s 10+ GB/s (NEON optimized)

Test plan

  • All 93 MoE module tests passing
  • All INT8 quantization tests passing
  • Benchmarks validate performance targets
  • Dry-run publish successful for both crates
  • Published to crates.io: ruvllm v2.0.6, ruvector-cnn v2.0.6

Implements memory-aware expert routing with cache residency bonus:

## New moe/ Module (5 files, ~4,300 lines)
- router.rs: MemoryAwareRouter with cache bonus (0.15 default)
  - INV-6 compliant (deterministic tie-breaking)
  - PagingRequest generation for non-resident experts
- affinity.rs: EMA-based expert affinity tracking
  - INV-2 compliant (monotonic decay without activation)
  - top_k_by_affinity() for prefetch predictions
- precision_allocator.rs: Hot/warm/cold precision assignment
  - Frequency-based percentile thresholds
  - GGUF format mapping (Q4_K_M, Q3_K, Q2_K)
- sram_mapper.rs: Hardware memory hierarchy config
  - Presets: RPi5, Mobile, Desktop, WasmBrowser
  - Tier assignment (SRAM/DRAM/Storage)
- metrics.rs: MoE routing metrics tracking
  - Cache hit rate, paging latency, prefetch accuracy

## Extended bitnet/expert_cache.rs
- suggest_eviction_with_affinity(): Combined LRU/LFU + affinity
- prefetch_by_affinity(): Affinity-based expert prefetching
- hot_experts(): List currently cached experts

## Tests (131 total)
- 86 MoE unit tests
- 19 integration tests (GATE-1 through GATE-4 validation)
- 26 ExpertCache tests

## Benchmarks (9 suites)
- Routing overhead: ~22 ns (target: ≤15 μs) ✅
- Cache hit rate simulation
- Affinity update, precision allocation

Target: ≥70% cache hit rate vs 34% baseline

HIGH severity security fixes:
- router: Change new() from panic to Result<Self, &'static str>
- router: Change with_default_affinity() to return Result
- precision_allocator: Change new() to return Result, add new_unchecked()
- sram_mapper: Change assign_tier() from assert! to returning bool

MEDIUM severity security fixes:
- router: Add NaN/Inf validation in apply_cache_bonus_inplace()
- router: Handle NaN in select_top_k(), treat as NEG_INFINITY
- affinity: Add NaN handling in top_k_by_affinity() with deterministic tie-breaking
- affinity: Add NaN handling in least_affinity() for eviction decisions
- sram_mapper: Fix division by zero in priority_score() when last_access=0

P0 performance optimizations:
- router: Add apply_cache_bonus_inplace() to avoid allocation in hot path
- router: Use select_nth_unstable_by for partial sort when k << n (O(n) vs O(n log n))

All 103 tests pass (84 unit + 19 integration).

SIMD decay optimization (affinity.rs):
- Add decay_scores_simd() with platform-specific implementations
- NEON intrinsics for ARM64 (4-wide vectorization)
- AVX2 intrinsics for x86_64 (8-wide vectorization)
- Scalar fallback for other platforms
- Handles non-aligned sizes with remainder loop

Bitmask cache residency (router.rs):
- Replace Vec<bool> with CacheMask bitmask structure
- u64 for ≤64 experts (single word, cache-friendly)
- Vec<u64> bitvector for >64 experts (larger models)
- Efficient popcount for resident_list()
- O(1) is_set/set operations via bitwise ops

Edge case tests added:
- Non-aligned SIMD sizes (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 17, 33, 65 experts)
- Large expert counts (256 experts)
- SIMD vs scalar correctness verification
- CacheMask with >64 experts (128 experts)
- Out-of-bounds handling
- Empty cache state

All 92 unit tests + 19 integration tests pass.

P2: Buffer reuse optimizations
- Add reusable score_buffer and index_buffer to avoid hot-path allocations
- Add route_into_buffer() using pre-allocated buffers
- Add apply_cache_bonus_inplace_buffer() for in-place operations
- Add select_top_k_buffered() using pre-allocated index buffer
- Add route_batch() for efficient batch token routing
- Add bulk metric recording methods (record_cache_hits/record_cache_misses)

P3: Branch hints for hot paths
- Add #[inline] attributes to all hot path methods
- route(), route_into_buffer(), apply_cache_bonus_inplace_buffer()
- select_top_k_buffered(), select_top_2_unrolled(), is_set(), set()

P4: Loop unrolling for small arrays
- Add select_top_2_unrolled() for common top-2 MoE configuration
- Single pass through scores to find best and second-best
- Avoids sorting overhead for the most common case

Performance impact:
- P2: Eliminates Vec allocations in hot routing path
- P3: Reduces function call overhead via inlining
- P4: 2x faster top-2 selection vs full sort

All 93 MoE tests pass.

The _mm512_roundscale_ps intrinsic requires a compile-time constant
for the rounding mode parameter. Changed from runtime let binding
to const to fix CI compilation on AVX-512 systems.
