"""Batched dense Cholesky factorization -- pure Triton.

Blocked right-looking factorization built from two kernels:

  * `_panel_body`  factors [[A11],[A21]] at one column block.  Each CTA
    redundantly factors the NB x NB diagonal block and solves its own slice
    of the rows below inside the same rank-1 loop, so the triangular solve
    adds no serial steps and no explicit inverse is needed.
  * `_syrk_body`   the trailing update A22 -= L21 @ L21^T.

The panel is a latency-bound serial chain that on its own leaves most of the
GPU idle, so `_panel_syrk` runs it concurrently with a slice of a *deferred*
trailing update on disjoint CTAs.  Whole-shape work is replayed from a
captured CUDA graph.

    accumulator stays live along the chain.

    `SR` unrolls, which turns every `k` mask into a compile-time constant.
    That is a loss on its own (+4% to +16%: register pressure) and so is

    442 times, which caps the kernel at 8 blocks/SM with 64% of cycles having

    The row-split panel is the right schedule when batch is small: its many

    repeat the same diagonal absorb and 32-pivot factorization 7--8 times per
    matrix.  This route factors and inverts the diagonal block once, then
    processes fixed-size row tiles through MMA absorbs and a right-side TRSM.
