- Remove cross-layer pipeline from OffloadEngine (saves ~1GB GPU memory for long sequences)
- Delete layer_k/v_buffer_a/b double buffers
- Remove start_decode_pipeline, get_decode_layer_kv, end_decode_pipeline methods
- Remove pipeline state tracking variables
- Simplify decode to use ring buffer pipeline only (more efficient for long sequences)
- Rename compute_chunked_attention → compute_chunked_prefill for clarity
- Add mandatory needle test requirements: --enable-offload --input-len 32768
