metal : add GGML_OP_TOP_K_MASK (#31230) * metal : add GGML_OP_TOP_K_MASK Port the fused top-k mask from the CUDA backend: a grid-stride kernel fills the output with -inf, then one threadgroup per row copies the mask values of the kept cells over it. Function constants drop the score, blocks and extra paths that a given graph does not use.

ggml : relax scale to non-contiguous views (#31146) * ggml : relax scale to non-contiguous views SCALE requires src0 to be 1D-contiguous. Relax this to dim-0 contiguity with arbitrary row strides (ggml_is_contiguous_rows), same as the unary ops in the Metal backend. - ggml: relax the assert in ggml_scale_impl - cpu: address src0 rows through their byte strides (f32, bf16) - cuda: stride-aware kernel, fastdiv row decomposition - metal: support bf16 scale (guarded unary instantiations) - sycl: keep the gate at contiguous, the kernel is flat f32 Add view variants to test_scale. Verified on CPU, Metal and CUDA.

tests : fix multi-seq split replay and partial-state cases for trained models (#31216) * tests : fix multi-seq split replay against trained models The rollback snapshot is captured by the graph that decoded the rolled-back tail, while the reference context decodes the same prefix with different batch shapes. The two states differ in the last bits and trained models amplify the difference with every replayed token. Compare only the first replayed token of each seq, then restore the rollback state into the reference context before the seq-1-only tail. Assisted-by: dsh:llama.cpp/ggml-org/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-GGUF (MacBook, M5 Max, 128GB) * tests : require bit-exact seq-1 isolation in split replay The seq state save is not always bit-lossless - SWA-masked cells are not saved - so reload the rest

ggml-cpu : rewrite concat as one row kernel for all types (#31179) Every dst row comes from src0 or src1, or for dim 0 from the row of src0 followed by the row of src1, so a single kernel covers every type: a dense source row is one memcpy, quantized types included, and a strided source is copied element by element with the element size known at compile time. Rows are split across threads instead of i2 alone, which is often 1, and are copied in tiles of 32: for a transposed source the elements are walked in the outer loop, so the rows of a tile read neighboring addresses instead of jumping a full row stride per element. Add transposed b cases to test_concat, the layout of the delta-net conv input, and a perf case for it. **Website:** - **Attestations:** - **macOS/iOS:** - [macOS Apple Sili

Each repo pins its resolved plans and its cache listing. The expectations follow what each file really is per its GGUF header, not what the current resolver picks, so a mismatch is a resolution bug. Mismatches are collected and reported together before the test fails. * tests: leave the listing unchecked on paths the filesystem refuses Some real split names (DevQuasar's Model.Q2_K.gguf-00001-of-00012.gguf under a quant folder) exceed MAX_PATH once materialized in the
