The grouped MoE kernels were per-row-only: GroupDesc had no group-size
fields, row_bytes() returned 0 for fmt=4, the scale buffer was hardcoded
to O floats, and a fmt=4 group that reached the generic path would have
been silently decoded as int2. This closed the GPU expert tier to every
grouped container — including the g64 quality line (#225) and the E8
lattice route (#347) whose whole point is fitting more experts in VRAM.
- ColiCudaTensor gains gs/scale_count; upload allocates O*ceil(I/gs)
scales for fmt=4 and applies the same offset->signed nibble conversion
as fmt=2 (identical packing). New ABI entry coli_cuda_tensor_upload_g
carries gs without touching the existing symbol — an old Windows DLL
missing it returns 0 and the tensor simply stays CPU-side.
- GroupDesc gains per-tensor group sizes; new grouped_hidden_g4_dual /
grouped_down_g4 apply the per-group scale inside the accumulation
(gs is required even, so a packed byte never straddles groups; gs=0
degrades to per-row, letting fmt=2 members ride the same launch).
- coli_cuda_expert_group routes any group containing fmt=4 through the
g4 kernels; pure-fmt=2 groups keep the existing paths byte-identical.
The generic fallback now explicitly rejects fmt=4 instead of decoding
garbage (#334's prevention note, made real).
tests/test_grouped_g4_cuda.cu: kernel-vs-CPU oracle over 50 trials x 3
experts — gs=64, a non-divisible tail group (200 % 64), and a per-row
member in the same launch: zero mismatches on a 5090.
make check 77/77; CPU, CUDA and MinGW builds clean.
