multiple TODO comments requesting logic verification in critical group index calculation and tensor layout code - verify group_idx calculation and tensor layout logic are correct before merging

Uninitialized quant_config used
QuantizationConfig quant_config_cpp; is left uninitialized when quant_config == nullptr, but it’s still passed into group_hadamard_transform_cast_fusion_graph_safe(...) (line 1511). That’s undefined behavior and can lead to garbage config values being read inside the kernel launch path. Consider default-initializing (QuantizationConfig quant_config_cpp{};) or returning an error when quant_config is required.
