This is a small compatibility improvement for architecture-preserving checkpoint format variation. The goal is not to support arbitrary model-specific rewrites, but to make linear weight loading more robust when modified checkpoints keep the same module graph while changing storage layout.
Some modified checkpoints keep the same architecture but store 2D linear weights in the opposite orientation. This can happen after resaves, merges, abliterations, repacks, or other tooling that preserves the module graph but rewrites tensor storage.
This keeps the configured orientation by default and only flips when the configured orientation does not fit the expected padded shape and the opposite orientation does.
The change is limited to 2D linear loads used by the existing FP16 path. Fused tensors and checkpoints that already match the current orientation keep the existing behavior.
Adds focused tests for the flip and no-flip cases.
