+// Bitshift trellis codec (QTIP TCQ) — the ENGINE's copy, with the packed

+// frozen fake-quant codec that produced the Q3 artifact of record; this module
+// is a copy of it plus `encodeStates` / `fakeQuantRowsPacked` / the host pack
+// and unpack helpers, so nothing that reproduces the record changes.
+//
+// QTIP-style bitshift trellis-coded quantization (TCQ), fake-quant, on MLX.
+//
+// Reference (verified against source, not memory):
+//   Tseng et al., "QTIP: Quantization with Trellises and Incoherence Processing",
+//   arXiv:2406.11235v3 — Fig. 2 (bitshift trellis), §3.1.1 (computed codes),

+// Bitshift trellis (L, k, V=1). State = L bits. Successor n of state p must
+// satisfy `n >> k == p & (2^(L-k) - 1)` (Fig. 2: "the 2^kV nodes that share
+// their top L-kV bits with its bottom L-kV bits"), i.e.
+//     n = ((p << k) | b) mod 2^L,   b in [0, 2^k)
+// so the predecessors of n are { (n >> k) + m·2^(L-k) : m in [0, 2^k) }.
+// The emitted value for state s is a computed pseudo-Gaussian f(s) — no
+// lookup table on the decode side (we materialize one anyway for the encoder).
+//
+// Encoder = Viterbi over 2^L states, UNWEIGHTED squared error (no Hessian /
+// LDLQ — v2 lever), batched over thousands of 256-weight blocks at a time.
+// Sign convention: we MAXIMIZE g = -(cost), and drop the per-step constant
+// x², so the emission term is a single addmm:  g_err = -lut² + 2·x·lut.
+// Dropping x² shifts every path in a block by the same amount, so argmax
+// decisions and the traceback are unchanged.
