+"""QKV projection + split (+ optional RoPE) Triton kernel for SM100 (Blackwell).
+
+SM100 port of the SM90a WGMMA kernel `batchgen_kernels/src/attention/qkv_wgmma.cu`.
+That kernel uses Hopper-only `wgmma.*` + warpgroup TMA, which do not exist on
+sm_100a, so on Blackwell we replace it with a pure-Triton GEMM that Triton JIT-compiles
+to UMMA. No `torch.matmul` / `F.linear` is used.
+
+Operation (decode/prefill):
+
+    x[M, K] @ W_qkv[N, K]^T  ->  [M, N],   N = q_size + kv_size + kv_size
+
+split column-wise into:
+
+    Q[M, q_size]   (cols [0, q_size))
+    K[M, kv_size]  (cols [q_size, q_size + kv_size))
+    V[M, kv_size]  (cols [q_size + kv_size, N))
+
+RoPE (optional) is applied to Q and K only, never V (see `apply_rope_qk`).
+
+Design note (see batchgen-agent-metadata/.../incremental_compilation_contract.md and
+blackwell-kernel-port-v1.md sub-task 5): RoPE is applied in a *separate* validated pass
+(`apply_rope_qk`) rather than inline in the GEMM epilogue. At decode M the GEMM is
+memory-bound on the [N, K] weight read, so the extra Q/K reread is negligible, and the
+two-pass structure keeps each step independently testable — matching how BatchGen already
+structures RoPE as dedicated kernels.
