## 关键修复

### Commit 829b311 - chunk_size 对齐 + Stream 同步修复

**问题**: 之前 GPU-only 和 Offload 模式的 density 差异达 10-13%

**根因**:
1. GPU-only 使用 `chunk_size=16384`，Offload 使用 `chunk_size=4096`
2. Stream 同步 bug 导致 Pass 1/2 K 数据不一致

**修复**:
1. 将 `XAttentionBSAPolicy.chunk_size` 默认值从 16384 改为 4096
2. 所有 compute kernels 包装在 `compute_stream` context 中

## 结论

1. **Density 对齐成功**: 差异从 10-13% 降到 <0.5%
2. **准确率一致**: 两种模式都达到 100% 准确率
3. **Density 随 context 增长下降**: 符合预期，更长的 context 稀疏性更高
