Batch-size > 1 cache-hit traffic must not lose the current/partial-current reuse fast path. This change extends the target MLA/index sync-correct path to validate batched current suffix rows, compose page-aligned prefix spans, and route batched index top-k through current-only or partial-current reuse without falling back to scalar guards.\n\nThe implementation keeps page as the minimum cache unit: prefix cache coverage is page-aligned, while current suffix rows are sliced by valid extend lengths so padded tail rows are not exposed to attention. The index top-k batch path now mirrors the single-request contract: current-only reuses current index KV directly, partial-current materializes once and shares the dense buffer across request segments.\n\nConstraint: CP shared-KV supports in-seq zigzag only; round-robin remains fail-fast for shared-KV.\nConstraint: No new collectives are introduced; this is a sync correctness path, not a new communication scheme.\nRejected: Keep bs>1 current_index_kv fail-fast | disables the cache-hit path that W4 is meant to restore.\nRejected: Pad requests to a common batch length | violates the page-granular contract and exposes padded tails to consumers.\nConfidence: medium\nScope-risk: moderate\nDirective: Do not reintroduce batch_size_not_one or batch_gt1 current-reuse guards without proving an equivalent batched fast path exists.\nTested: Local py_compile for touched runtime/test files.\nTested: Remote g0034 pytest test_nsa_cp_utils.py test_cp_shared_kv_runtime.py => 157 passed, 5 warnings, 2 subtests passed.\nTested: Remote g0034 pytest test_cp_shared_kv_layout.py => 27 passed, 3 warnings.\nNot-tested: Full ETE with live traffic; CUDA kernel-backed batched descriptors; L1 prefetch, HiCache load/backup, and draft/EAGLE bs>1 current reuse.
