📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesDistributed A2A decode
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds fused distributed attention-output handling and golden-data replay options. CSA replay can use the wrong fixture shape when distributed --golden-data is provided without --start-pos, which could make benchmark or validation results misleading; the localized issue is mergeable with owner follow-up.

decode_hca.pyrejects a distributed run that passes--golden-datawithout--start-pos, because the replay shape is then ambiguous. This parser accepts that combination and falls back to the default CSA start set, so a replay can silently use a different fixture shape than the saved data.♻️ Suggested guard after `args = parser.parse_args()`

use the new function to replace the old, while keep name unchanged.

see if you can move this to oproj.py, similar with csa/swa, then there is no need for xxx-a2a funcs.
