CP shared-KV performance debugging depends on seeing when the runtime leaves the intended TAI, IPC, prefetch, or current-reuse paths. This change makes those misses visible through standardized warning markers while keeping per-reason log limits to avoid per-layer log floods.\n\nThe warnings intentionally distinguish fallback from fail-fast: unsupported correctness-sensitive states still raise, while performance-path misses emit [CP_SHARED_KV_FALLBACK] with the concrete reason.\n\nConstraint: Production ETE debugging needs visible fallback evidence without enabling heavy debug mode, which can itself disable fast paths.\nRejected: Rely only on optional MLA prefetch debug logs | they are env-gated, layer-limited, and miss non-prefetch TAI/IPC/current-reuse fallbacks.\nRejected: Log every per-layer event without limits | would drown useful transfer/cache diagnostics under steady-state traffic.\nConfidence: high\nScope-risk: moderate\nDirective: Do not remove these fallback warnings unless an equivalent low-noise observability path exists for every fast-path miss.\nTested: local py_compile for touched files; local git diff --check for touched files; remote g0034 py_compile and pytest for test_nsa_cp_utils.py, test_cp_shared_kv_layout.py, test_cp_shared_kv_runtime.py passed before commit (156 passed, 5 warnings, 2 subtests passed).\nNot-tested: full ETE serving traffic after warning additions.
