"""RotateKV Pre-RoPE Quantization — INT4 KV block compression.

Based on RotateKV (IJCAI 2025, arXiv:2501.16383):
- Outlier-Aware Rotation: channel reordering + FWHT to group channels
  by outlier distribution before rotation
- Pre-RoPE Grouped-Head Rotation: rotate BEFORE applying RoPE, not after,
  to avoid RoPE-induced inter-channel mixing that wrecks outlier isolation
- Attention-Sink-Aware Quantization: protect first N tokens (sinks) at
  full FP16, quantize the rest at INT4

Results from paper: 3.97x peak memory reduction, 2.32x decode speedup,
< 0.3 PPL degradation at 2-bit on WikiText-2 (LLaMA-2-13B).

V4.0: Target INT4 (4-bit) for balance quality/compression.

INVARIANT 10: This module ALWAYS receives key_states BEFORE RoPE is applied.
RoPE is applied externally after dequantize(). Breaking this contract corrupts attention.
