Ettore Di Giacinto c6698dd4bf feat(paged): Phase 1 - ggml paged write/gather mechanism (CPU)
Validate the paged KV read/write path at the ggml-op level, driven by
PagedKVManager:

- write: ggml_set_rows(pool, k_src, slot_mapping)  scatter K rows by slot
- read:  ggml_get_rows(pool, gather_idx)           gather a seq's slots into
         contiguous scratch (the tensor an attention kernel consumes)

The test forces a non-contiguous, out-of-order physical block layout
(allocate seqA+seqB, free seqA, reallocate seqC -> blocks [2,1,5]) and
proves gather(write(x)) == x plus cross-sequence isolation in the shared
pool. This de-risks the central question (does slot-addressed paged storage
round-trip correctly through ggml) before the llama-graph integration.

Pool is statically allocated via ggml_backend_alloc_ctx_tensors, mirroring
how llama.cpp allocates its KV cache. CPU backend, no new ggml op.
Built against ggml from the vendored llama.cpp checkout.

Phase 1 of docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-19-paged-attention-llamacpp.md.
