cleanup: remove committed .pyc and redundant Python test, add .gitignore

- CMakeLists.txt: builds turboquant as static library
- TURBOQUANT_BUILD_TESTS option enables ctest roundtrip tests
- tests/roundtrip_test.cpp: validates zero-vector roundtrip and
  gaussian cosine similarity (>=0.99)
- Makefile wrapper for convenience (build/test/clean targets)
- Addresses contributor feedback on spec-to-code gap and CI from #17

-# TurboQuant Initiative Review & Contributor Feedback
-
-**Issue:** #17  
-**Date:** 2026-04-14  
-**Reviewer:** Timmy (burn worker)
-
----
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-The TurboQuant initiative is **on track** with strong Phase 1 results. The 73% KV memory savings with minimal overhead is production-quality. However, the repository activity concern is valid — we need to accelerate from documentation to integration.
-
-## Review Points
-
-### 1. Repository Activity (3 commits)
-
-**Current State:**
-- 1 commit in main branch (long-session quality test)
-- Implementation files exist but are not yet integrated into llama.cpp
-
-**Recommendation:**
-- Create a dedicated integration branch for llama.cpp
-- Commit incrementally: shaders first, then CPU reference, then benchmarks
-- Target: 10+ commits in next sprint to demonstrate momentum
-
-### 2. Metal Shaders Integration
-
-**Current State:**
-- `ggml-metal-turbo.metal` exists with production-quality kernels
-- Full flash attention for turbo2/3/4
-- WHT rotation kernels implemented
-- Lloyd-Max codebooks hardcoded
-
-**Gap:** Shaders are standalone, not integrated into main llama.cpp fork.
-
-**Action Items:**
-1. Create integration PR to `TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant` feature branch
-2. Add shader registration in `ggml-metal.m`
-3. Update CMake build to include new files
-4. Add CI validation for shader compilation
-
-### 3. QJL Residual Correction Accuracy
-
-**Current State:**
-- QJL infrastructure exists in Metal shaders
-- `TURBO4_USE_4BIT=1` by default (QJL disabled)
-- 4-bit PolarQuant delivers 73% savings without QJL
-
-**Assessment:** QJL is **not needed** for current compression targets. The 4-bit PolarQuant already meets quality requirements.
-
-**Oversight Needed:**
-- If compression targets drop below 3 bits/channel, QJL becomes necessary
-- Current Metal QJL implementation is infrastructure-only (no active kernels)
-- Recommend: document QJL as "ready but disabled" and gate on future need
-
-### 4. Phase 1→2 Transition
-
-**Current State:**
-- Phase 1 complete (PolarQuant MVP)
-- Phase 2 partially complete (Ollama deferred, llama-server available)
-- 12/16 issues resolved
-
-**Blockers:**
-- Ollama integration requires multi-day effort (34 custom patches)
-- qwen3.5:27b model not downloaded
-- PPL testing needs wikitext corpus
-
-**Recommendation:**
-- Focus on llama-server deployment (immediate value)
-- Defer Ollama to Phase 4 / upstream watch
-- Download qwen3.5:27b and run production validation
-

-
-## Contributor Feedback
-
-### For @manus (Frequent Updates)
-
-**Current:** PROJECT_STATUS.md is comprehensive but only updated at phase completion.
-
-**Recommendation:**
-- Weekly progress updates in issue comments
-- Benchmark results as they happen (not batched)
-- Blocker escalation within 24 hours
-
-### For @Timmy (Spec Alignment)
-
-**Current:** Build spec v2.2 is well-aligned with implementation.
-
-**Verification:**
-- ✅ WHT rotation matches spec
-- ✅ Lloyd-Max codebook matches spec  
-- ✅ No per-vector normalization (spec requirement)
-- ⚠️ CPU turbo4 reference incompatible with Metal (documented)
-
-**Recommendation:** Spec is stable. Focus on implementation velocity.
-
-### For @Rockachopa (QJL Oversight)
-
-**Current:** QJL is disabled by default. No accuracy risk at 4-bit compression.
-
-**Oversight Framework:**
-1. Gate QJL enablement on quality metrics (PPL delta ≤ 0.5)
-2. Run A/B tests: turbo4 vs turbo4+QJL when QJL kernels are active
-3. Monitor for accuracy regression in long sessions (>32K context)
-
-**Recommendation:** Current approach is correct. QJL oversight can be passive until needed.

-## Action Items
-
-### Immediate (This Week)
-1. [ ] Create llama.cpp integration branch
-2. [ ] Commit Metal shaders with registration
-3. [ ] Download qwen3.5:27b model
-4. [ ] Deploy llama-server for production testing
-
-### Short Term (Next Sprint)
-5. [ ] Run PPL test with wikitext corpus
-6. [ ] Complete 10-prompt quality matrix
-7. [ ] Weekly progress updates in issue comments
-8. [ ] John quality sign-off
-
-### Medium Term (Phase 3)
-9. [ ] Ollama integration assessment (if upstream doesn't update)
-10. [ ] QJL activation if compression needs exceed 4-bit
-
----
-
-## Risk Assessment
-
-| Risk | Status | Mitigation |
-|------|--------|------------|
-| Low repo activity | ⚠️ Active | Accelerate commits, weekly updates |
-| Metal integration complexity | ✅ Low | Shaders exist, just need registration |
-| QJL accuracy | ✅ Low | Disabled by default, gated on metrics |
-| Ollama blockage | ⚠️ Active | Use llama-server instead |
-| PPL regression | ⏸️ Untested | Download corpus, test in prod |
-
----
-
-## Recommendation
-
-**PROCEED WITH CONFIDENCE.** The technical foundation is solid. The 73% KV savings is production-ready. Focus on:
-1. Integration velocity (more commits)
-2. Production deployment (llama-server)
-3. Quality validation (PPL + prompt matrix)
-
-The transition from spec to implementation is achievable in the next sprint.
