Bonsai 2 27B, Q2_0 (testing build)

The Q2_0 packing of Bonsai 2 27B, kept separate until upstream support lands.

Bonsai 2 needs an activation transform that currently only exists in our llama.cpp fork. Stock llama.cpp will load this file anyway, since it knows the Q2_0 type and the qwen35 architecture, and outputs gibberish with no warning. The main repo's PQ2_0 and PTQ1_0 use types stock llama.cpp does not know, so it stops with an error rather than running them. That is why they ship there and this one does not.

It is here for testing, kernel work, and upstreaming. It moves to the main repo once that lands.

For normal use: Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-gguf, or Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-mlx-2bit on Apple Silicon. Setup for every backend: Bonsai-demo.
