Add a hardware report to the current serving snapshot harness so every paged-vs-vLLM artifact records the GPU identity and conservative hardware class before any server starts. Document the Phase 24 dry run and the GB10 classification for future parity comparisons.

The fork mudler/llama.cpp branch localai-paged is the canonical source of
truth for all paged-backend kernel/patch work. Always update it FIRST: commit
the change on the fork branch and push it, then regenerate the LocalAI patch
series (backend/cpp/llama-cpp-localai-paged/patches/paged/) from the fork via
git format-patch so the series is a 1:1 drift-free mirror of the branch. Never
edit the LocalAI patch files directly, and never add a patch with no
corresponding fork-branch commit. The series is a derivative; the fork is the
source. The fork branch is also where the build and the per-path bit-exact md5
gate actually run, so it is the only place a change is truly validated.
Codified in two places:
- .agents/llama-cpp-localai-paged-backend.md: new "Fork-first workflow
(MANDATORY)" section at the top of the patch/pin-sync material, plus the
"Encapsulating your work" bullet now points at it.
- backend/cpp/llama-cpp-localai-paged/docs/PARITY_HANDOFF.md: strengthened the
hard-gate (section 2.5) into "Fork-first is MANDATORY", and corrected a stale
numbering example (fork 51168c5ee "patch 0044" maps to worktree 0044, not the
f32-only M5 which is worktree 0047).

The fork mudler/llama.cpp branch localai-paged is the canonical source of
truth for the paged-backend patch series. This file is the git format-patch
of fork commit 51168c5ee ("feat(paged): fused gated RMSNorm + SiLU gate-mul
CUDA op (patch 0044)"), verified byte-identical to that commit's format-patch
output. The full on-disk series applies clean in numeric order on the pinned
base and the resulting tree is byte-identical to the fork commit tree (tree
hash a73d759350277532a14e853e1fe78f08bbb74ce8), so the LocalAI series is a
drift-free 1:1 mirror of the fork branch.

Ground-check follow-up to 2431090ff. Two factual corrections:
- Section 7 worktree line had the ahead/behind counts swapped ("25 ahead,
197 behind"); the branch is actually ~199 ahead / 25 behind origin/master.
- Discrepancy item 5 flagged only the MoE CDEF PAGED_GATE_MD5 (0921716...);
the dense run is symmetric (COMBINED_DEFINITIVE.txt records ecfe924d... for
dense, which likewise differs from the canonical dense gate 5951a5b4). Both
CDEF values come from combined_definitive.sh's own gate command, not the
canonical bit-exact gate in section 3.3, so neither is sanctioned and both
must be KL-validated.
Everything else in the handoff verified accurate: fork branch localai-paged
HEAD 51168c5ee (patch 0044) on dgx:~/llama-paged-fork, dev-tree HEAD a7d439e,
all md5/KL numbers, the 86%/1078/924 decode record, bench env, and all
referenced file/artifact paths.
