# Ring MLA hybrid audit

## Description
Audits Ring Attention combined with Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA) compressed latent states.

## Category
`serving`

## Tags
`serving`, `mla`, `ring-attention`, `compression`, `long-context`

## When to Use
Audit deep long-context models utilizing Multi-Head Latent Attention to verify memory bandwidth compression.

## Operational Limitations
Calculates compression ratios of MLA latent projections; does not verify latent reconstruction loss.

## Verification Script
Run the deterministic verification checker:
```bash
python3 scripts/check.py examples/synthetic.json
```
Exit codes:
- `0`: Check passed and thresholds satisfied.
- `1`: Threshold breach or operational violation detected.
- `2`: Schema error or invalid usage.

## What the checker recomputes

- `ratio` = 1 * original_kv_bytes / mla_compressed_bytes, then the original `<` check against `target_compression_ratio`. `original_kv_bytes` cannot exceed `mla_compressed_bytes`.

Every other declared field is type-checked. A negative value is rejected except for deltas, drifts, and gains. A type check does not, by itself, prove the measurement.

`population` and `observedAt` are required. The bundled examples are synthetic fixtures, not market measurements.

```bash
python3 scripts/check.py examples/synthetic.json
python3 scripts/check.py examples/contradiction.json
python3 scripts/check.py examples/broken.json
```

Exit 0 is a pass, exit 1 is a review, and exit 2 is invalid input. A pass does not certify a provider, a regulation, a release, or a price.
