Stack from ghstack (oldest at bottom):

Problem: The WebGPU delegate has no quantized general (ungrouped) convolution. A standard nn.Conv2d (groups == 1) through XNNPACK static PT2E lowers to a delegated quantize_per_tensor -> q8ta_conv2d -> dequantize_per_tensor subgraph; the quantize/dequantize are the landed C0 ops, so q8ta_conv2d is the one missing piece to run a quantized conv end-to-end. Together with the staged q8ta_conv2d_pw (1x1) and q8ta_conv2d_dw (depthwise), this covers the int8 conv2d family.

Solution: Port et_vk.q8ta_conv2d (int8 activation x int8 per-channel weight -> int8) as a direct windowed convolution with full input-channel reduction. Per output element: acc = Σ_{ic,kh,kw} (x_int8[n,ic,ih,iw] - input_zero_point) * weight_int8[oc, (kh*Kw+kw)*IC + ic] with ih = oh*stride_h - pad_h + kh*dil_h, iw = ow*stride_w - pad_w + kw*dil_w (out-of-bounds taps skipped = zero padding); dequantize acc * input_scale * weight_scales[oc] + bias, requantize clamp(round(v * inv_output_scale) + output_zero_point, -128, 127), packed 4 int8 per word. Mirrors Vulkan q8ta_conv2d (Q8taConv2d.cpp + q8ta_conv2d.glsl, the direct general-shader path). Vulkan's q8ta_conv2d dispatches im2col-vs-general; the WebGPU port implements the direct-windowed general path only.

Implementation: Q8taConv2d.cpp registers q8ta_conv2d.default, out = args.back(), one thread per output word = 4 consecutive W_out positions of a fixed (n, oc, oh) (W_out % 4 == 0 for output word alignment), 2D dispatch fold to lift the 65535 cap. Reads the weight row stride from weight.dims[1] to tolerate the AOT's align-width padding of Kh*Kw*IC, and reads scales/bias as >= [OC] since the AOT pads OC to a multiple of 4 (the shader reads only [0, OC)). Guards [N,IC,H_in,W_in] / [OC,Kh*Kw*IC] / [N,OC,H_out,W_out] ranks, int8 dtypes, groups == 1, and activation == "none" (all fail-loud). Q8taConvParams is a 96-byte (16-aligned) uniform.

Constraints / divergences from the Vulkan reference (numerically equivalent, golden-verified): (1) the weight_sums arg is unused — the input zero-point correction is folded per-element (Σ(x-zp)·w == Σx·w - zp·Σw), matching Vulkan's weight_sums compensation exactly, including at zero-padded taps. (2) weight arrives raw [OC, Kh*Kw*IC] int8 (the AOT pattern's im2col reshape permute(0,2,3,1); the WebGPU prepack is a passthrough), not Vulkan's int8x4-block texture layout. groups > 1 and activation != "none" are fail-loud (follow-ups); im2col is not ported (the direct general path covers all shapes).
