Add element-wise unary ops needed by Qwen 3.5's DeltaNet linear
attention layers. These ops follow the existing unary-ops pattern
with VTCM DMA double-buffering.
- neg: negate via scale by -1.0
- exp: uses existing hvx_exp_f32 HVX intrinsics
- sigmoid: uses existing hvx_sigmoid_f32_aa HVX intrinsics
- softplus: log(1 + exp(x)) scalar fallback
- CONT reuses the existing CPY infrastructure since making a tensor
contiguous is equivalent to a same-type copy.
- REPEAT implements tiled memory copy with multi-threaded execution via
the worker pool, supporting f32 and f16 types. The kernel parallelizes
across output rows and uses memcpy for each tile.

kleidiai : fix MUL_MAT support for batched (3D) inputs (#20620)
* kleidiai : fix MUL_MAT support for batched (3D) inputs
The supports_op() check incorrectly rejected MUL_MAT operations with 3D
inputs (ne[2] > 1), but the actual compute_forward_qx() implementation
handles batched inputs correctly via a loop over ne12.
This caused models with Q4_0/Q8_0 weights to crash during graph scheduling
when n_seq_max > 1, because weights were placed in KLEIDIAI buffers during
loading (tested with 2D inputs) but the runtime used 3D inputs.
Also relax the buffer check to allow supports_op() to be called during
weight loading when src[0]->buffer is NULL.
Fixes #20608
* Kleidiai support_ops should only return true for 3D inputs, not also 4D

Fix model selector locked to first loaded model with multiple models (#20580)
* webui: fix model selector being locked to first loaded model
When multiple models are loaded, the auto-select effect would re-fire
on every loadedModelIds change, overriding the user's manual model
selection. Guard with selectedModelId so auto-select only kicks in
when no model is chosen yet.
On AMD APU/iGPU devices (unified memory architecture), hipMemAdviseSetCoarseGrain
returns hipErrorInvalidValue because the hint is not applicable to UMA systems.
The previous CUDA_CHECK() call treated this as a fatal error, causing crashes on
APU systems such as AMD Strix Halo (gfx1151).
Fix: treat hipMemAdviseSetCoarseGrain as an optional performance hint - call it
without error checking and clear any resulting error with hipGetLastError().
Also add pre-allocation debug logging (GGML_LOG_DEBUG) to help diagnose memory
issues on APU systems, and store totalGlobalMem in device info.
Context: AMD APUs on Windows are affected by a ROCm runtime bug that limits
hipMallocManaged to ~64GB regardless of available system RAM. A fix has been
submitted upstream: https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-systems/pull/4077

Previous commit changed the repacking to use even:odd (0:1,2:3,..) packing
instead of the original (0:128,1:129,...) packing in order to fix tail corruption.
Since the mm kernels already deal with partial tails we can use even:odd

This avoid performance penalty of having to shuffle to zip the elements
in the common case.

graph : remove redundant GDN state transposes (#20443)
* ggml : transpose fused GDN state access for coalesced memory reads (#20436)
The fused Gated Delta Net kernel accessed the [S_v, S_v] state matrix
column-wise on row-major storage, causing strided reads (stride S_v =
128 floats = 512 bytes) that waste GPU cache bandwidth. This produced a
39% regression on Qwen3.5-9B (Metal, M4 Max) compared to the unfused
path.
Transpose the state indexing so threads read contiguously:
- Metal: s_ptr[is*S_v] -> s_ptr[is] (stride 1 vs S_v)
- CUDA: curr_state[i*S_v+col] -> curr_state[col*S_v+i] (coalesced)
- CPU: restructured loops for row-wise transposed access
Also add --fused-gdn [on|off|auto] CLI flag (mirrors --flash-attn) so
users can control fused GDN independently of auto-detection.
All GATED_DELTA_NET backend-ops tests pass.

The chunked fused Gated Delta Net detection in sched_reserve() calls
graph_reserve(16*n_seqs, n_seqs, n_outputs, ...) where n_outputs = n_seqs.
This creates a dimension mismatch in build_pooling() for embedding models
with mean/rank pooling: build_inp_mean() creates a tensor with shape
[n_tokens=16*n_seqs, ...] while t_embd is reduced to [n_outputs=n_seqs, ...]
via out_ids, causing ggml_mul_mat to assert on ggml_can_mul_mat(a, b).
Fix: pass n_tokens as n_outputs in the chunked GDN graph reservation,
matching the pattern used by the pp/tg worst-case reservations.

Same class of bug as #12517, fixed by #12545.

This commit renames the the function `mtmd_get_audio_bitrate` to
`mtmd_get_audio_sample_rate` to better reflect its purpose.
The motivation for this is that the function currently returns the audio

that is how it is used in the code as well.
This is a breaking change, but I believe mtmd is still in

The motivation for this is that running this locally generates errors
that CI does not, and it can be difficult to spot new errors. One use
case is when working on new models which cannot be run in CI due to

could suppress these errors for now, and later perhaps revert this
