1// nx_nofloat_mm_i8_batch_gate.nx -- STEP 1 of the speculative serve integration (operator-approved build):
2// the BATCHED i8 matmul primitive, BIT-EXACT to the per-activation path + AMORTIZED. The serve's forward reads
3// each big weight matrix once per token (m=1, mm_pool_i8). Speculative verify processes K tokens; batching the
4// projection/FFN matmuls (m=K) reads each weight column ONCE and dots it against all K activations -> the 7.2x
5// weight-read amortization proven earlier, now with the REAL i8-matmul math (dynamic per-activation quant, per-col
6// weight scale, shift) so it drops into decode_step_kv_cached_i8. Matches _nfmm_i8_task exactly:
7// dst[m][o] = (sx[m] * sw[o] * Σ_k xi8[m][k]*W[o][k]) >> shift , xi8[m][k]=pack(x[m][k]/sx[m]), sx[m]=max|x[m]|/127.
8// Isolated gate (synthetic weights, same shapes) -- touches NO serve code. license_tier: ORIGINAL expect_exit: 0
