Metal GPU acceleration for discrete AMD Macs (15 RTC) #38

Description

@Scottcjn

Metal Backend for Discrete GPUs

Bounty: 15 RTC — claim on rustchain-bounties

The Metal fix for discrete AMD GPUs was rejected by llama.cpp. Integrate it into TrashClaw's setup flow.

Requirements:

  • Provide a patched llama.cpp build script that applies the StorageModeManaged fix
  • Auto-detect discrete vs unified GPU on startup
  • Show Metal status in /status output
  • Document tested hardware (Mac Pro 2013, iMac 2014-2019, MacBook Pro 2015-2019)

Reference: The 3-line fix is in our closed PR #20615.
