// Why we need the memset (when needs_cooperative is true):
// 1. arrival_counter accumulates within a launch and is never reset,
// so a prior call leaves it at a large positive value. Without this
// reset, the very first wait_ge in the next call sees counter >>
// target and returns instantly, breaking the barrier.
// 2. The previous in-kernel init only ran in CTA-0 with intra-CTA
// __syncthreads(), so it had no happens-before edge to CTA-1+'s
// first red_release. cudaMemsetAsync is stream-ordered: the zero
// is globally visible before any CTA runs.
