🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate each Q/KV source pair before the audit.

_fused_key maps either source key to qkv independently. If a checkpoint has q_linear.weight but lacks kv_linear.weight, Line 574 still marks qkv.weight as present. The strict audit can pass, but Line 606 then raises a raw KeyError for the absent sibling.

Require both source tensors before adding the fused key to present. Report an explicit missing-Q/KV-pair error before the write loop.

In `@scripts/convert_pt_to_gguf.py` around lines 562 - 574, Update the fused-key
audit around _fused_key and present so a qkv fused key is considered present
only when both corresponding q_linear and kv_linear source tensors exist for the
same suffix and dtype. Before the write loop, detect incomplete Q/KV pairs and
raise an explicit missing-pair error instead of allowing a later KeyError; leave
unrelated keys and complete pairs unchanged.
