Share the Metal session graph with CUDA for text and vision, MTP and exact sampling, steering, checkpoints, and disk-only BF16 n-grams. Add bounded concurrent Linux n-gram reads, vectorized dense and expert kernels, register-held recurrent prefill state, and efficient small speculative batches.
Keep Qwen out of DeepSeek batch dispatch and exclude disk n-grams from resident memory accounting. Use normal file-backed weight loading in diagnostics and link n-gram support into the CUDA quality scorer.
Include independent kernel and memory-safety tests, mixed-prefill and recovery checks, long-context server and agent coverage, and user documentation with measured DGX Spark performance.
Use one verified GGUF per quantization, remove sidecar setup, and document disk versus resident size. Record native-reader, model, agent/server, steering, fallback, and continued-prefill QA with explicit limits.
Implement qwen4exp loading, tokenizer and chat formatting, PLE sidecars,
Metal text and vision graphs, built-in MTP, and recurrent KV persistence.
Integrate the CLI, agent, server, download targets, and conversion tools.
Preserve the native Q4_1 encoder, Q4_K accumulation guard, and shared
quantizer build target. Keep exact-MTP rewind and vision-cache row-width
fixes. Persist valid logits and recurrent state at completed prefill chunks,
and reuse Qwen text-answer history when tools clients omit reasoning.
Retain exact reasoning replay and test continued checkpoints, cancellation,
cache eviction, and restart reuse with and without reasoning_content. Include
reproducible charts and measurements comparing throughput before and after
the checkpoint fixes on M3 Ultra.
Add Qwen trunk steering and prompt activation capture, including GDN layers.
Keep the MTP predictor outside the 48-row bank and preserve prompt dumps
through one-token prefill tails and multi-row speculative verification.
Recover Chrome target creation and retain its last page target. Preserve
full agent transcripts in stripped-session format when KV no longer fits,
while retaining the newer automatic compaction and continuation logic.
Add steering/MTP/capture, Chrome CDP recovery, and full-session save/reload
regressions. Adapt the intended changes from fork PRs #13 and #7.
Reconcile with antirez main bd66c40, preserving DeepSeek v4.1 model IDs,
tool syntax, session state, and Metal kernel dispatch. Exclude superseded
engine code and prototypes.

Preserve all five original commits by Donato Capitella. Resolve the DSpark fallback conflict by retaining the existing Metal/DGX Spark short-proposal behavior and adding the ROCm reference-alignment condition.
Closes#992
Pair the previous target feature with the next seed at their respective positions and construct target KV directly from the projected normalized feature. Merge trusted target captures into the model support window instead of exposing the full prefill or replacing history with each verifier batch. Keep temporary draft rows outside persistent history and reset safely across capture gaps.
Scope the correction to physical gfx1151 independently of diagnostic fast-path overrides. Add 162 CPU cache-range and physical-ring assertions, and document the tested five-draft/confidence-0.7 configuration. Exact-sampling history-gap performance remains unqualified.
Sampled coding continuation improves 14.17/14.38 to 25.10/24.46 tokens/s at 8K/16K. Long coding passes 24/24 checks, sampled coding 7/7, and an actual tool round trip passes. Both 100-case official reports remain identical; the 64K native continuation completes at 22.61 tokens/s.
Keep the introduction and everyday usage in the README, with setup guides near the top and detailed references at the end. Document Ada/L40S support explicitly and replace stale model, memory, caching and performance claims.
Retain the root Strix Halo page as a link to its new guide.
