"""Persistent grouped BF16 GEMM with a fused SwiGLU epilogue.
The row-tile schedule is derived in the kernel from ``expert_offsets``. In
particular, no routing metadata is copied to the host and no library GEMM is
used. Each persistent program computes gate and up together from a shared
activation tile, then writes only the gated result.
