docs: DiffusionGemma research + first-hand smoke test on 3090 Ti

google/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it (released 2026-06-10) — Google's first
open-weight text-diffusion LLM. Does NOT run in Ollama (unknown arch
'diffusion-gemma'); built llama-diffusion-cli from ggml-org/llama.cpp PR
#24423 and smoke-tested Q4_K_M on steel141's 3090 Ti.

- New reference doc with specs, build recipe, throughput, and gotchas
- CORPUS_ollama_variants.md: "not an Ollama variant" callout
- README index line for the reference doc
- scripts/diffusiongemma-smoketest/ harness + raw result logs

Findings: ~106 tok/s effective / ~2030 tok/s in-step-parallel; correct code
+ coherent reasoning; <|channel>thought CoT eats the 256-tok canvas so strict
short formats need block budgeting. nvidia-smi index != CUDA index on steel141
(select 3090 Ti by UUID). Experimental research artifact, not homelab-deployable
until diffusion arch merges to llama.cpp mainline.
