README.md and README_CN.md to match.

In `@src/tensor_utils.cpp`:

outputs match within ~1e-7; describe the precision and output agreement only in
qualified terms unless supported by measured tests.
- Around line 44-61: Update the documentation for parse_lay_scale_name in
src/tensor_utils.cpp lines 44-61 to distinguish FFN, attention/PAC, and
joint-EBF multipliers: single-stream FFN1/FFN2 use 0.5, PAC uses 1.0, and joint
EBF branches use 1.0. Update the related comment in src/ops_attn.cpp line 142 to
state that only FFN1/FFN2 use 0.5 while the PAC branch uses 1.0; no
implementation changes are needed.

Align all ggml version and pin documentation with the implementation.
The current dependency uses a v0.19.0 URL archive with URL_HASH, not GIT_TAG. Update this guidance and the related references in README.md, README_CN.md, cmake/patches/ggml-metal-binary-archive.md, and src/backend.cpp so future dependency updates target the actual pin fields and version.

Match the window-position comment to the implementation.
src/model.cpp, Lines 395-396, evaluates (cache.step + 1) / cache.total_steps. The comment says step/total, which can mislead configuration at window boundaries. Document the one-based expression.

Preserve the empty middle-slice case.
When fn_blocks == 0 and bn_blocks == cfg.segmenter.num_layers, middle_end is 0. src/model_segmenter.cpp, Lines 167-169, converts end_blocks <= 0 to num_layers. The middle graph then runs the full tail, and the back graph runs it again. The cache path produces incorrect logits.
Treat only negative end_blocks as the default:

Remove the lossless precision guarantee.
fold_linear_weight converts updated Q8_0 block scales back to ggml_fp16_t and rounds F16 weights after multiplication. Therefore the Q8_0 fold is not lossless, and the supplied code does not guarantee output agreement within ~1e-7. Use qualified wording unless tests establish a measured bound.

Keep the layer-scale multipliers consistent across both comments.
parse_lay_scale_name applies 0.5 to single-stream lay_scale1 and lay_scale3, 1.0 to single-stream lay_scale2, and 1.0 to joint EBF branches.

Summary
Why revert
v0.20.x made GGML_CPU_ALL_VARIANTS require GGML_BACKEND_DL, DL mode unlinks the CPU backend from the ggml umbrella target (so backend.cpp's direct ggml_backend_cpu_init / ggml_threadpool_new refs fail to link), and GGML_NATIVE + GGML_BACKEND_DL are mutually exclusive upstream. Anchor at v0.19.0 keeps NATIVE=ON CPU builds working until the dlopen refactor lands (tracked in AGENT.md).
