"""LoftQ initialization for LoRA + NF4 quantization. Pre-computes LoRA A/B matrices that compensate for NF4 quantization error via truncated SVD of the residual ``W - dequant(Q(W))``. This yields better quality than random LoRA init when training on a heavily-quantized base model. Reference: Li et al., "LoftQ: LoRA-Fine-Tuning-Aware Quantization" (2023).
