fix: 12 bug fixes from comprehensive review — 51 tok/s verified on RTX 5090
P0 fixes (blocking usability):
- FIX-01: thread-local cuBLAS handle (was creating/destroying per matmul)
- FIX-16: EOS token no longer leaks into API responses
- FIX-17: max_seq_len configurable via --max-seq-len (default 2048, was hardcoded 256)
- FIX-18: max_tokens clamped to available seq space, prompt overflow returns 400
P1 fixes (bugs & performance):
- FIX-07: CachingAllocator wired into all hot paths (to_device, embedding, rope, concat)
- FIX-08: CudaDeviceProp buffer increased to 32KB for CUDA 12.9 safety
- FIX-09: tokenizer byte_fallback graceful degradation (was panic)
- FIX-19: causal mask uses -INFINITY instead of -1e9 (BF16 supports inf)
- FIX-20: LayerNorm rewritten to numerically stable two-pass algorithm
- FIX-21: min block size guard (32 threads) for LayerNorm/RMSNorm launches
P2 fixes (improvements):
- FIX-22: Option<GpuKVCache> + take() eliminates dummy KV cache allocations
- FIX-23: RoPE cache no longer artificially capped at 8192 positions
Verified on dash5 (RTX 5090): 51 tok/s batch=1, 74 tok/s 2-concurrent, 1.7-3.3x HF transformers.
