# Batched dense FP32 Cholesky for NVIDIA B200.
#
# Dispatch model: a per-`n` promotion table (ROUTE). Every entry defaults to the
# cuSOLVER fallback and is flipped to a custom implementation only after remote
# validation, so an unshipped/regressed stage is one flag away from cuSOLVER and
# there is never a correctness/perf regression. Each custom handler is also wrapped
# so any runtime error degrades to correct-but-slow cuSOLVER rather than a wrong
# result.
#
# TF32 note: never enable tf32 matmul GLOBALLY — the correctness checker runs its
# own L @ L^T reconstruction in-process, and a global tf32 flag would compute that
# in tf32 and inflate residuals so even correct output fails. TF32 is scoped inside
# the blocked driver (save/restore around the trailing matmul).
