"""Device-side tests for MHATokenToKVPool with asymmetric KV (head_dim != v_head_dim).
Covers the wiring the kernel-level tests cannot see: that the pool derives
``v_row_dim`` from ``v_head_dim`` and threads it into the fused store_cache kernel.
A mis-wired ``v_row_dim`` still writes the right bytes into the right K slots, so
the untouched-slot assertions are what pin the V width and stride down.
Skipped on CPU -- the fused path is CUDA/HIP only.
