CLAUDE: test_convert_direct: existing-kernel re-test in the modern per-kernel style (the template)

- make_convert_direct_case.py packages the legacy clt/ exports + goldens
  into a manifest case (one-time bridge; new cases come from Java oracle)
- test_convert_direct.cu: manifest -> RAII buffers (GpuBuf/GpuPitchedBuf +
  device pointer arrays) -> host-built tasks from portsxy -> single
  deterministic launch; the historical (0, kernels_hor) deconvolution-gate
  quirk is an explicit apply_kernels manifest parameter
- two-tier goldens: expected_clt_2025 legacy @ legacy_tol=1.2 (measured
  1.107 max, 2.2e-5 relative rms - same class JNA Stage2 accepted <1.0);
  expected_clt blessed on this machine @ tol=0 for real regression
- TpTestData.compareTo(named reference); avg_td re-verified PASS tol=0

+## The template to copy: test_convert_direct
+
+`src/tests/test_convert_direct.cu` re-tests the EXISTING convert_direct
+kernel in this style — read it top-down as the model for new kernels: load
+manifest → RAII per-camera buffers (`GpuBuf`/`GpuPitchedBuf`) + device
+pointer arrays → build tasks host-side (documented `buildTasks`) → one
+deterministic launch → save + compare. Build its data directory once from
+the legacy goldens:
+
+```bash
+python3 src/tests/make_convert_direct_case.py     # clt/ -> testdata/convert_direct_legacy
+tests_bin/test_convert_direct                     # legacy-tier check (loose tol)
+# then bless this machine's output for strict tol=0 regression:
+cp testdata/convert_direct_legacy/results/clt.f32 testdata/convert_direct_legacy/expected_clt.f32
+echo "buf expected_clt f32 5 16 64 80 1 256 expected_clt.f32" >> testdata/convert_direct_legacy/manifest.txt
+```
+
+Two-tier goldens (the manifest header documents why): `expected_clt_2025` =
+legacy files, compared with loose `legacy_tol` (2025 GPU/toolkit + the
+geometry-chain XY never reproduce bit-exactly; JNA Stage2 accepted
+maxErr < 1.0 as well); `expected_clt` = blessed on THIS machine, strict
+tol=0 — that is what catches a real kernel regression. Re-bless after any
+INTENDED change of kernel behavior.
+
 ## Adding a new kernel test
 
 1. Kernel goes in `src/` (own file, e.g. `tp_<name>.cu` + `.h`).

+ * test_convert_direct.cu
+ *
+ * Standalone re-test of the EXISTING convert_direct kernel in the modern
+ * per-kernel style — the template to copy for new kernels. Everything the
+ * kernel needs comes from one manifest directory (see testdata_format.md;
+ * build the legacy-golden case with make_convert_direct_case.py), all GPU
+ * memory is RAII (tp_gpu_buf.h), and the launch is deterministic: break in
+ * convert_direct / convert_correct_tiles and step in NSight.
+ *
+ * Old-harness equivalent: TpHostGpu::{setImageKernels,setImgBuffers,
+ * setCltBuffers,setTasks,testConvertDirect} — ~5 entangled methods over
+ * hardcoded TpPaths; here it is one file, top-down, no path tables.
+ *
+ * Historical launch quirk, kept as an explicit manifest parameter
+ * (apply_kernels): TpHostGpu passed kernels_hor = 0 (which GATES OFF
+ * deconvolution, TileProcessor.cu gate `kernels_hor>0`) and kernels_vert =
+ * KERNELS_HOR. The clt/ goldens were made that way, so apply_kernels 0
+ * reproduces it verbatim; apply_kernels 1 passes the true grid and applies
+ * deconvolution (no goldens for that yet).
