Subject: [PATCH] Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add fp8 fast-accum overflow
 verification probe

scripts/fp8_overflow_check.py hooks every quantised linear during a real Z-Image
generation and reports max-abs + non-finite counts for use_fast_accum True vs False.
Confirms fast accumulation is an accumulation-precision knob, not an overflow one:
across 276 linears, including Z-Image's ~1.0e6 activation peaks (which overflow FP16),
0 non-finite elements and identical max-abs for both modes.

+"""Empirically check that fp8 dynamic quant with fast accumulation does not overflow.
+
+Hooks every quantised Linear's output during a real Z-Image generation and reports the
+global max |output| and any non-finite (Inf/NaN) count, for use_fast_accum True vs False.
+The concern fast_accum raises is accumulation *precision*, not overflow (the accumulator
+stays FP32-range and torchao's dynamic per-row scale keeps FP8 inputs <= 448); this proves
+it on the real model, including Z-Image's large (~9e5) activation peaks. Run on one CUDA GPU.
