lambda run/chat cells time out: unchunked dense prefill OOM, qk-norm forced serial, chat KV 2048, Qwen3.5 no F16/IQ4_XS dequant #4621

Closed as not planned

Description

@noahgift

Child of #3715 (release-readiness SHACL gate): the lambda run/chat cells time out at 600 s, so the gate cannot get Pass receipts for them.

Root causes (aprender-ec, fix PR #4620):

  1. Unchunked dense prefill runs out of memory at 8k–20k context.
  2. qk-norm is forced onto the serial path.
  3. Chat KV cache is capped at 2048.
  4. Qwen3.5 has no F16/IQ4_XS dequant.

Evidence: rg7 on a5dc47a: 8B 8k 243 s GPU, 8B chat 22 s, 1.7B 20k 42 s, 0.5B-IQ3_M 20k 51 s, no CPU fallback.

Out of scope, follow-up: UD-IQ2_XXS needs 5 more dequant kernels.

    P0 to P1 (2026-10-14 P0 triage): P0 now means it blocks the next release or carries the operator's own words on it; this issue does neither, so it stays on the 0.71.0 milestone at P1.

    Folded into #3715 as a checklist row (TRIAGE-100, 2026-10-14): the open-ticket cap is 100, so this ticket is now tracked on that master and closed as not planned. Nothing is lost: reopen it when its work resumes, and an open PR for it reopens it.
