This fancy iterator helps ensure we do not read past the end of the input memory.

WalkthroughChangesTDigest percentile computation now produces compact child ranges for empty digests. Empty rows remain null with zero-length lists. Non-empty rows use compact offsets. A regression test covers mixed empty groups and null values. TDigest percentile output
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Severity of issue fixed: Medium Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Percentile output is now compact for mixed TDigest inputs, with empty rows remaining null and zero-length. The change is otherwise covered, but the stale list-length documentation should be corrected as a small follow-up. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

487-489: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAdd a case that crosses a validity-mask word boundary.
This test uses three rows, so the null mask fits in one 32-bit word. The PR objectives list boundary cases across validity-mask word boundaries as expected behavior. Add a second case with more than 32 groups, where empty and non-empty digests alternate around index 31 and 32. That case exercises both the compact offset scan and the list null mask across word boundaries.

Requesting one correctness fix. The compact child allocation still computes its size in 32 bits while the new grid-stride kernel intentionally processes a 64-bit pair count. That mismatch can turn an unsupported oversized output into out-of-bounds GPU writes. Otherwise the mixed-empty compact-list fix looks sound. The C++ build/test matrix is green; the two devcontainer failures are image-pull infrastructure failures, and pr-builder only aggregates them.

Benchmark mixed empty and non-empty TDigest input against the dense path. The new grid-stride loop changes launch behavior and output indexing. Functional tests do not detect a throughput regression.
