00f92659f8 docs(paged): correct vLLM recurrent-state precision (f32, not bf16)
Earlier text claimed bf16 = vLLM's own precision; that was a refuted byte-gate
draft re-surfacing. The settled finding (BITEXACT_VS_VLLM.md, proven 3 ways) is
that vLLM keeps the gated-DeltaNet TEMPORAL state in f32 (only its conv state is
bf16). So bf16 temporal is BELOW vLLM's recurrent precision, not a match; and at
equal f32 precision llama's recurrence already beats vLLM (84.6% vs 82.4% peak).

7dd3431040 docs(paged): promote TTFT/prefill + paged-pool burst-degradation bug (benchmark finding)
The final benchmark exposed TTFT as the weakest number (dense npl128 903s vs vLLM
6-18s, decode-first budget throttling burst-prefill) plus a concrete paged-pool
burst-degradation bug (post-burst low-npl prefill collapses 507->65 t/s; decode
unaffected). Highest-value serving fix; decode + memory already strong.

7c45447c9e docs(paged): FUTURE_LEVERS - parked decode-parity exploration trail
Ranked pick-up points after the 95%-bit-exact plateau: hybrid-precision SSM state
(per-head f32/bf16 split - the bf16 error is concentrated in long-memory heads, so
a split could capture most of the +25-31% while passing the f32 KL gate), dense
CUDA-graph instability, the rms_norm->fp4 fold (flat-risk), datacenter Blackwell
sm_100 (no LPDDR5x floor), adaptive prefill budget, MoE-specific recurrence tuning.
