weights — FormatNone MatVec

github.com/openfluke/welvet/weights✅

Why it exists

Unquantized matrices still need a typed store that streams MatVec and SGD without forcing a float32 master or Morph-as-training.

What it is

Store holds DType + Format + Native/Packed bytes. New[T], MatVec, MatVecT, DecodeRow, SelectWire (F32/F64/I8), ApplySGD. FormatNone: update in native lanes (float32 payload is the only f32 buffer; float64 uses native ALU; other dtypes decode→update→re-encode). Packed: unpack→update→re-Pack then drop scratch. RetainsF32Master() is true only for FormatNone+float32. Dense and composite projs share this store.

	fmt.Println(y) // ≈ [3, 4]
