+"""EPLB rearrangement consistency tests for quant-method derived state.
+
+EPLB rearranges every registered Parameter of a RoutedExperts in place,
+sliced along dim 0 (see RoutedExperts.get_expert_weights). Quant methods
+must therefore register all derived per-expert tensors as Parameters and
+alias the same storage in their FusedMoEQuantConfig, so the kernels observe
+rearranged values with no extra bookkeeping. These tests verify that
+contract: simulating a rearrangement on the registered Parameters must be
+indistinguishable from loading a checkpoint with permuted experts.
