"""qr_v2 B200 submission v25 — blocked Householder QR, per-shape tuned.

Same numerics as v23 (shared-memory column-major panel factorization + cuBLAS WY
trailing update), with a single inline CUDA extension whose panel kernel emits both
V (reflectors, unit-lower-trapezoidal) and the compact-WY T factor in-kernel, so the
trailing update is pure bmm/baddbmm (no torch.linalg.solve_triangular).

Improvements over v23: per-shape block sizes tuned on B200 (n=352/1024/2048 prefer
a smaller block than v23 used) and TF32 enabled for the dense-only n=2048 benchmark.
