+// Auto-detect a fixed kv-cache shape from the model's past_key input shapes,
+// and, when detected, apply the implied configuration:
+//   - reject beam search (num_beams != 1),
+//   - force past_present_share_buffer on,
+//   - log info on the detected size,
+//   - warn if search.max_length exceeds the detected size.
+// Returns the detected static seq_len, or 0 if the model has symbolic
+// kv-cache dims or per-layer static sizes disagree.
+//
+// Background: some compiled backends (e.g. AMD RyzenAI) emit models where the
+// kv-cache seq_len dimension is a static positive integer instead of a
+// symbolic dim. In that case the cache must be allocated to exactly that size
+// and reused as a shared past/present buffer; max_length cannot drive the
+// size because ORT rejects any tensor that doesn't match the model's static
+// dim.
+//
+// Limitation: only uniform per-layer static sizes are recognised — every
+// past_key layer must declare the same fixed seq_len. Models that declare
+// different static seq_lens per layer (e.g. a mix of full-attention and
+// sliding-window layers with distinct static caps) fall through to dynamic
+// handling. Lifting this restriction would extend the existing layer_shapes_
+// infrastructure used for per-layer head_dim detection in
+// DefaultKeyValueCache: store the per-layer detected seq_len into
+// layer_shapes_[i][2] instead of a single scalar, and let the share-buffer
+// branch's per-layer loop do the rest. Deferred until a model in the wild
+// actually needs it.
