Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Migrate project to C++17 and remove binary variant

In C++14, constexpr namespace-scope variables have internal linkage,
so header-only installs duplicate the ~1.5 MB of blue noise tables in
every translation unit that includes them. The binary install variant
existed only to work around this, at the cost of three CMake options,
conditional target logic, and a preprocessor split in bntables.h. C++17
inline variables have external linkage with a single definition across
translation units, removing the need for the workaround. A benchmark
recorded in the spec shows the C++17 header-only build matches the
binary variant's size exactly, with identical output.

Declare the blue noise tables as inline constexpr in bntables.h
and delete src/bntables.cpp. Remove the OPENQMC_ENABLE_BINARY,
OPENQMC_SHARED_LIB and OPENQMC_FORCE_PIC options, making the library
target unconditionally INTERFACE with cxx_std_17. Raise the standard
in the unix preset and the manual include example. Update the README,
mkdocs home page and CHANGELOG for C++17, VFX Reference Platform CY2021
and NVCC 11. Record validation results in the migration spec, and use
auto in trace.cpp for a modernize-use-auto finding that the standard
bump newly triggers.

Resolves #86

 ### Added
 ### Changed
 
+- Migrated the project from C++14 to C++17, moving the minimum supported VFX Reference Platform from CY2018 to CY2021, and the minimum NVCC version from 10 to 11. Blue noise tables are now `inline constexpr`, so header-only installs no longer duplicate table data across compilation units.
 - Sped up scalar paths of `oqmc::sobolReversedIndex` using the construction method from Ahmed 2024.
 
 ### Deprecated
 ### Removed
+
+- Removed the binary library variant and its `OPENQMC_ENABLE_BINARY`, `OPENQMC_SHARED_LIB` and `OPENQMC_FORCE_PIC` CMake options. C++17 `inline` variables make the header-only install equivalent, so downstream projects using these options should simply remove them.
+
 ### Fixed
 
 - Improve quality of uniform float distribution in `oqmc::uintToFloat`.

 ## Validation
 
-The following must be carried out before the migration is accepted. They are
-not yet done.
-
-- **NVCC device-linkage**: The blue noise tables are consumed from
-  `OQMC_HOST_DEVICE` code (`bntables.h` `tableValue`), so they must be usable
-  on the device. The current internal-linkage `constexpr` arrays produce a
-  per-TU copy, which is what makes them trivially available in device code
-  today. `inline constexpr` changes this to a single external-linkage
-  definition, and NVCC's handling of inline-variable device-side definitions
-  has historically had caveats. Confirm on the minimum supported toolchain
-  (NVCC 11) that the tables compile, link, and produce correct results in
-  device code with no duplicate-definition or missing-symbol errors.
-
-- **Compile-time trade-off**: A test/benchmark must be created to measure the
-  per-TU parse cost described under Migration risks on a representative
-  consumer (several translation units each including `bntables.h`). Compare
-  the C++14 binary variant, C++14 header-only, and the proposed C++17
-  `inline constexpr` builds for total compile time and final binary size, and
-  record the results here so the trade-off can be accepted explicitly.

+  missing-symbol errors. Note that the tables are only read from host code
+  in practice (each blue noise sampler copies them into its cache in
+  `initialiseCache`, which is host-only), but this must still be verified on
+  CUDA hardware before release.
+
+- **Compile-time trade-off** (measured): A benchmark harness compiled 8
+  representative consumer translation units (each using all three blue noise
+  sampler variants, so all six tables are referenced) plus a main, with
+  `-O2`, best of 3 runs. Apple Silicon M-series, Clang 21.1.1:
+
+  | Configuration               | Build time | Binary size |
+  | --------------------------- | ---------- | ----------- |
+  | C++14 header-only           | 3.83 s     | 12.73 MB    |
+  | C++14 binary variant        | 2.30 s     | 1.64 MB     |
+  | C++17 `inline constexpr`    | 3.83 s     | 1.64 MB     |
+
+  The C++17 build matches the binary variant's final size exactly (the
+  linker deduplicates the single external-linkage definition) while staying
+  header-only, and all three builds produce bit-identical sample output. The
+  per-TU parse cost relative to the binary variant is ~170 ms per table
+  consuming TU on this machine, the same as the C++14 header-only build. In
+  real projects only TUs that include a blue noise sampler header pay this
+  cost. This trade-off is accepted.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added
+
+- GPU coverage on the CI pipeline is restored using ASWF hosted T4 runners, building the tools as CUDA and validating device results against CPU reference data.
+
 ### Changed
 
 - Migrated the project from C++14 to C++17, moving the minimum supported VFX Reference Platform from CY2018 to CY2021, and the minimum NVCC version from 10 to 11. Blue noise tables are now `inline constexpr`, so header-only installs no longer duplicate table data across compilation units.
