AharrypotterandClaude Opus 5 c95474a432 bench: refuse to report a comparison whose two sides have different calibers
Two runs on different calibers produce a report that looks exactly like a
valid one — no step errors, the numbers just mean something else. This repo
has published three figures that were an artifact of such a difference:
router_gemm -8.2% (record vs record), mm "945 variants -> 33" (shared vs
inherited libtuner cache), replication_pad3d +43% vs +124.5% (timer).

batch_summary --ab / --ab-rounds now reads every participating run's
run_identity.json and compares backend/device/timer/bench_level/shape_mode/
tuner_cache/direct_repeat before parsing a single latency. Mismatch, or a
missing identity, prints !!! [caliber] and exits 4. autotune_mode is judged
separately: record pinning a replay is the normal shape, both sides record
is the exact trap above and is refused by name. --allow-caliber-mismatch
releases it, still printing what it found.

Recording on a *shared* tuner cache warns rather than refuses: the pinned
config depends on what else ran on the machine, which leaves relative
conclusions intact and absolute latencies unquotable. Refusing it would
reject the default every A/B here currently uses.

ab_repeat.sh closes the one axis that had no check: after round 1 it
fingerprints both sides' ttgir (relative path + content, so a changed
variant *set* counts too). Byte-identical means the switch changed no
generated code for this op, and the remaining N-1 rounds would measure
noise and report it as "no difference" — so the op is skipped with
SWITCH_NO_IR_DIFF unless SWITCH_ALLOW_NO_IR_DIFF=1.

README leads with a caliber table: each axis, its measured magnitude, what
pins it, and which code checks it. The fourth column is code because
documentation did not hold — the README already said "the B side must use
REPLAY_FROM" when the record-vs-record number was published.
