Unweighted encoding of a folded [out, in] weight along axis.
BlockLDLQ encoding of a folded weight against Hessian factor Lf
([n, n], n = the LDLQ dim). Falls back to the unweighted encoding, with
tripped set, when the feedback grows past the guard ceiling.
One codec per distinct k (the L=12 1MAD codebook is shared; k only changes the branching), created lazily so a uniform run builds exactly one.
