First end-to-end integration check: run decode_y on the REAL test256.bin latent
(checkpoint yhat_y/y_lsbs) and compare to the reference synthesis pixels (ypix),
rather than a synthetic latent vs the ONNX. Confirms the synthesis stage on real
pipeline data at 58.85 dB PSNR (max|Δ|=0.6, the 16-bit PTQ), and pins the pipeline
wiring: synthesis consumes the post-LSBS latent (y_lsbs), not the pre-LSBS yhat_y.
Feature-gated on the checkpoint fixture + weights.
