Fix benchmark report methodology and rebuild gpu burn worker on toolchain changes

- Split steady window into 6 equal slots: fp8/fp16/fp32/fp64/fp4 + combined
- Each precision phase runs bee-gpu-burn with --precision filter so PowerCVPct reflects single-kernel stability (not round-robin artifact)
- Add fp4 support in bee-gpu-stress.c for Blackwell (cc>=100) via existing CUDA_R_4F_E2M1 guard
- Weighted TOPS: fp64×2.0, fp32×1.0, fp16×0.5, fp8×0.25, fp4×0.125
- SyntheticScore = sum of weighted TOPS from per-precision phases
- MixedScore = sum from combined phase; MixedEfficiency = Mixed/Synthetic
- ComputeScore = SyntheticScore × (1 + MixedEfficiency × 0.3)
- ECC volatile counters sampled before/after each phase and overall
- DegradationReasons: ecc_uncorrected_errors, ecc_corrected_errors
- Report: per-precision stability table with ECC columns, methodology section
- Ramp-up history table redesign: GPU indices as columns, runs as rows

+# GPU Model Name Propagation
+
+How GPU model names are detected, stored, and displayed throughout the project.
+
+---
+
+## Detection Sources
+
+There are **two separate pipelines** for GPU model names — they use different structs and don't share state.
+
+### Pipeline A — Live / SAT (nvidia-smi query at runtime)
+
+**File:** `audit/internal/platform/sat.go`
+
+- `ListNvidiaGPUs()` → `NvidiaGPU.Name` (field: `name`, from `nvidia-smi --query-gpu=index,name,...`)
+- `ListNvidiaGPUStatuses()` → `NvidiaGPUStatus.Name`
+- Used by: GPU selection UI, live metrics labels, burn/stress test logic
+
+### Pipeline B — Benchmark results
+
+**File:** `audit/internal/platform/benchmark.go`, line 124
+
+- `queryBenchmarkGPUInfo(selected)` → `benchmarkGPUInfo.Name`
+- Stored in `BenchmarkGPUResult.Name` (`json:"name,omitempty"`)
+- Used by: benchmark history table, benchmark report
+
+### Pipeline C — Hardware audit JSON (PCIe schema)
+
+**File:** `audit/internal/schema/hardware.go`
+
+- `HardwarePCIeDevice.Model *string` (field name is **Model**, not Name)
+- For AMD GPUs: populated by `audit/internal/collector/amdgpu.go` from `info.Product`
+- For NVIDIA GPUs: **NOT populated** by `audit/internal/collector/nvidia.go` — the NVIDIA enricher sets telemetry/status but skips the Model field
+- Used by: hardware summary page (`hwDescribeGPU` in `pages.go:487`)
+
+---
+
+## Key Inconsistency: NVIDIA PCIe Model is Never Set
+
+`audit/internal/collector/nvidia.go` — `enrichPCIeWithNVIDIAData()` enriches NVIDIA PCIe devices with telemetry and status but does **not** populate `HardwarePCIeDevice.Model`.
+
+This means:
+- Hardware summary page shows "Unknown GPU" for all NVIDIA devices (falls back at `pages.go:486`)
+- AMD GPUs do have their model populated
+
+The fix would be: copy `gpu.Name` from the SAT pipeline into `dev.Model` inside `enrichPCIeWithNVIDIAData`.
+
+---
+
+## Benchmark History "Unknown GPU" Issue
+
+**Symptom:** Benchmark history table shows "GPU #N — Unknown GPU" columns instead of real GPU model names.
+
+**Root cause:** `BenchmarkGPUResult.Name` has tag `json:"name,omitempty"`. If `queryBenchmarkGPUInfo()` fails (warns at `benchmark.go:126`) or returns empty names, the Name field is never set and is omitted from JSON. Loaded results have empty Name → falls back to "Unknown GPU" at `pages.go:2226, 2237`.
+
+This happens for:
+- Older result files saved before the `Name` field was added
+- Runs where nvidia-smi query failed before the benchmark started
+
+---
+
+## Fallback Strings — Current State
+
+| Location | File | Fallback string |
+|---|---|---|
+| Hardware summary (PCIe) | `pages.go:486` | `"Unknown GPU"` |
+| Benchmark report summary | `benchmark_report.go:43` | `"Unknown GPU"` |
+| Benchmark report scorecard | `benchmark_report.go:93` | `"Unknown"` ← inconsistent |
+| Benchmark report detail | `benchmark_report.go:122` | `"Unknown GPU"` |
+| Benchmark history per-GPU col | `pages.go:2226` | `"Unknown GPU"` |
+| Benchmark history parallel col | `pages.go:2237` | `"Unknown GPU"` |
+| SAT status file write | `sat.go:922` | `"unknown"` ← lowercase, inconsistent |
+| GPU selection API | `api.go:163` | `"GPU N"` (no "Unknown") |
+
+**Rule:** all UI fallbacks should use `"Unknown GPU"`. The two outliers are `benchmark_report.go:93` (`"Unknown"`) and `sat.go:922` (`"unknown"`).
+
+---
+
+## GPU Selection UI
+
+**File:** `audit/internal/webui/pages.go`
+
+- Source: `GET /api/gpus` → `api.go` → `ListNvidiaGPUs()` → live nvidia-smi
+- Render: `'GPU ' + gpu.index + ' — ' + gpu.name + ' · ' + mem`
+- Fallback: `gpu.name || 'GPU ' + idx` (JS, line ~1432)
+
+This always shows the correct model because it queries nvidia-smi live. It is **not** connected to benchmark result data.
+
+---
+
+## Data Flow Summary
+
+```
+nvidia-smi (live)
+  └─ ListNvidiaGPUs() → NvidiaGPU.Name
+       ├─ GPU selection UI (always correct)
+       ├─ Live metrics labels (charts_svg.go)
+       └─ SAT/burn status file (sat.go)
+
+nvidia-smi (at benchmark start)
+  └─ queryBenchmarkGPUInfo() → benchmarkGPUInfo.Name
+       └─ BenchmarkGPUResult.Name (json:"name,omitempty")
+            ├─ Benchmark report
+            └─ Benchmark history table columns
+
+nvidia-smi / lspci (audit collection)
+  └─ HardwarePCIeDevice.Model (NVIDIA: NOT populated; AMD: populated)
+       └─ Hardware summary page hwDescribeGPU()
+```
+
+---
+
+## What Needs Fixing
+
+1. **NVIDIA PCIe Model** — `enrichPCIeWithNVIDIAData()` should set `dev.Model = &gpu.Name`
+2. **Fallback consistency** — `benchmark_report.go:93` should say `"Unknown GPU"` not `"Unknown"`; `sat.go:922` should say `"Unknown GPU"` not `"unknown"`
+3. **Old benchmark JSONs** — no fix possible for already-saved results with missing names (display-only issue)
