"""
Optimized MI355X MLA decode kernel — overhead elimination.

Key optimizations over phase1_expert3 (73us):
1. Replace BMM for bs=4 with Triton FP8 flash-decode (split=1, fused output)
2. Use AITER non-persistent mode for ALL AITER shapes (no metadata overhead)
3. Use static FP8 Q scale (no dynamic quantization overhead)
4. Tune split-K counts per shape for minimal reduction overhead
5. Pre-allocate ALL buffers cached by shape key
