vh 2c3602869f fix(gen-seat): hash bf16 tensors via uint8 reinterpret, not numpy
numpy has no bfloat16, so .numpy().tobytes() raised
'TypeError: Got unsupported ScalarType BFloat16' on real checkpoints.
Flatten then view(torch.uint8) before hashing.

Result on the heresy candidate: VERDICT IDENTICAL -- all 15 mtp.* tensors
byte-identical to the incumbent's verbatim base graft, the head already
measured at 47.7% acceptance in production. The ~56 GB bf16 acceptance gate
is redundant, so no second seat comes down.

"""Compare a candidate checkpoint's MTP head against a known-good reference head.
WHY THIS EXISTS
---------------
The expensive gate before quantizing a new Qwen3.8-27B candidate is "does its MTP
head actually work?" — presence is not acceptance, and a dead head silently costs
the entire +18% decode case. Measuring acceptance for real needs the model resident
in VRAM; at bf16 that is ~56 GB, which on a full 97.9 GB card means downing a
SECOND seat, not just `gen`.
This sidesteps that for the common case. Most community abliterations never touch
`mtp.*` at all: the `Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration` wrapper class does not load
the MTP head, so PEFT merges, Heretic runs, and llm-compressor passes all leave it
exactly as it came from the base. If a candidate's 15 `mtp.*` tensors are
numerically identical to a head we have already measured in production, its MTP is
that head — and the acceptance test is redundant.
Reference to compare against: `/tank/aimodels/qwen38-27b-uncensored-bf16`
(`model-mtp.safetensors`). Per its PROVENANCE that head was grafted verbatim from
the base, and it measures **47.7% acceptance** on the live gen seat through our
exact mixed-quant pipeline. That makes it a known-good baseline, not a guess.
READ THE RESULT HONESTLY
------------------------
- **IDENTICAL** -> the candidate carries the pristine base head. The bf16 acceptance
gate buys nothing; go to quant and verify acceptance on the quantized build inside
the freed `gen` budget (~22 GB, no second seat).
- **DIFFERENT** -> something edited the head. That is NOT automatically bad (an
abliteration that deliberately includes `mtp.*` is a legitimate design — see
hotdogs/Qwen3.8-27B-abliterated, which edits 2 mtp tensors on purpose), but it
means the head is no longer one we have measured. Run the real acceptance gate.
- **MISSING** -> the head was dropped. Known failure mode; needs a graft.
CPU only. Reads just the shard(s) holding `mtp.*` — no full model load.
