"""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.

Quantize key_states BEFORE RoPE is applied.
INVARIANT 10: This method ALWAYS receives pre-RoPE key_states.
The returned QuantizedKVBlock contains pre-RoPE data. RoPE is applied
externally after dequantization.
Steps:
1. Apply channel reordering (self._channel_order)
2. Apply FWHT rotation across grouped heads (if use_fwht=True)
3. Identify attention sinks: positions[:, :sink_tokens]
4. Separate sink tokens (store as FP16) from rest (quantize as INT4)
5. Block-wise asymmetric INT4 quantization (group_size rows per block)
6. Store scale + zero_point per block for dequantization
7. Return QuantizedKVBlock
