Subject: [PATCH 06/44] Support non-multiple-of-128 sequence lengths in
 DeepSeek-V4 HCA/CSA Flash Attention

- Replace sequence integer-truncation with ceil-padding and -1e9 gate score masking in DeepseekV4HCACompressor.
- Guard decoder segment ID sequence slicing with background token padding for unaligned document packing bounds.
- Use explicit rotary_embedding.head_dim in CompressedAttention to accommodate non-standard RoPE head dimensions.
- Add numerical equivalence testing between dot_product and flash attention kernels and verify non-power-of-two sequence lengths (e.g. L=489).

Subject: [PATCH 18/44] Implement static Splash Attention compilation path for
 DeepSeek-V4 HCA

- Add HCAStaticMask with causal masking on compressed tokens
- Align KV sequence length to sa_block_kv multiples for static Tokamax Splash attention
- Support unaligned sequence lengths in Tokamax SplashConfig using GCD block size calculation
- Route HCA (compress_ratio > 4) to static Splash attention with indexer_mask=None

- Add autoselected attention support to deepseek4 and indexer config validators.
- Set default use_tokamax_splash: true for deepseek4-tiny and deepseek4-284b models.
- Separate flash and dot_product attention test methods in DeepSeekV4CompressedAttentionTest with tpu_only markers.
- Update reference parity dimensions in DeepSeekV4ConversionMappingTest and DeepSeekV4HyperHeadTest.
- Adjust CompressedAttentionTest numerical tolerances for TPU matmul accumulation.
