Description

I think we are too strict on the key/payload/slot type constraints. cuda::atomic_ref supports 1B and 2B operations. This is is to be explored in a future PR.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the constraints discussed in PR #803 and the supported 1B and 2B operations in cuda::atomic_ref. Trace where key, payload, and slot type constraints are enforced, then define completion as allowing the supported 1B and 2B types without weakening unrelated constraints.
