"""Append K/V into a PAGED cache and attend over it -- including the entry just written -- in one kernel, with no launch boundary between the write and the read. Every serving stack does append-then-attend, and almost every one of them does it as two kernels, because a kernel boundary is a free device-wide fence: the append kernel's stores are guaranteed visible to the attention kernel's loads. Fusing the two removes that guarantee, and you have to recreate it yourself -- a release fence after the scattered page write, a grid-wide barrier, an acquire on the other side -- for a store whose address came out of a page table and whose reader is a different block than the writer. The cache is paged and the page table is SHUFFLED, so consecutive logical positions are scattered across the pool: the reader cannot assume anything about locality, and the writer's target page is data-dependent.
