Measure quantization damage with KL divergence alongside perplexity

Save full-precision logits once with llama.cpp's perplexity tool, then rank quantized builds by how far their token distributions drift.

Verified: Flags, logit file sizes and every table value match the llama.cpp perplexity README.Only claimed: The README's reading of percentile asymmetry as real quality loss is its own judgment.

Tamer’s verdict: Keep an FP16 logits file per model and compare builds by KL divergence, its tails and same-top-token rate. Perplexity alone can misorder close builds.
