+"""Genesis PN30 DS conv-state dst-shaped temp fix (setup-time patch).
+
+This patches Sandermage's Genesis PN30 wiring in our local checkout.
+PN30 originally handled DS layout + speculative decode by materializing:
+
+    state[src_block_id, :, offset:].contiguous()
+
+and then raw-memcpying that compact buffer into `state[dest_block_id]`.
+That is not layout-correct for DS. The source tail is compact, but the
+destination block is still strided by the full conv state length, so row 1+
+land at the wrong address and corrupt the conv state.
+
+The corrected path lives in `collect_mamba_copy_meta`, where both source and
+destination block ids are known. For DS conv offset > 0, it builds a full
+destination-shaped temporary block, copies the source tail into the destination
+prefix columns, then gives batch_memcpy a normal contiguous full-block copy:
+
+    tmp = state[dest_block_id].clone()
+    tmp[..., :tail].copy_(state[src_block_id, ..., offset:offset + tail])
+
+PN30's existing temp tensor list and post-batch stream sync/clear are reused.
+The old compact path in `get_conv_copy_spec` is changed to fail closed; if the
+collect-time bypass ever misses, we crash with a clear error instead of
+silently corrupting the DS conv state.
