Enable CUDA graph measurement and avoid re-priming an already captured decoder graph. Correct fixed KV capacity for tokens produced by prefill. Refs: NVIDIA#901
Format the shared native KV contract test with the clang-format version pinned by Community CPU so local and CI checks agree.

Background
qwen3-4b-instruct-2507preserved exact FP16 output but measured 39.7% slower than its reference on Thor X. This change removes repeated CUDA-graph setup from the generation path and keeps the release comparison precision aligned.Exit Criteria
