274-282: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winUse a tighter, documented percentile error bound.
The 8% full-range tolerance can allow errors of several hundred units for these generated values. A materially shifted percentile can therefore pass this test.
Base the tolerance on the expected 20-centroid error budget, or add stricter per-percentile bounds.

Add a unit benchmark for compressed percentile_approx.
This change adds a large compressed t-digest regression case but no unit benchmark. Add a benchmark that measures the reduction and groupby compressed paths.

Description
Adds an Arrow-free independent correctness check for compressed
percentile_approxt-digests.The new test uses deterministic large host inputs, a low centroid count to force compression, interior percentiles, and both t-digest clustering modes. It validates both reduction-produced and groupby-produced t-digests against exact host quantiles rather than comparing one cudf percentile path with another.
Also updates the cuco bloom filter policy include/alias to match the cuco API currently fetched by latest
upstream/main, which was required forQUANTILES_TESTto build locally.Validation:
