chore(scripts): mark the shebang-carrying Python scripts executable

[agatha197]

Summary

Eight Python scripts under scripts/ carry a #!/usr/bin/env python3 shebang but are not executable in the index, so the direct invocation some of them document for themselves fails with "permission denied".

Background

The scripts/ci/*.py files (and scripts/bench_mlxlm.py) are already mode 100755, so the executable convention is established. The affected files sit at 100644 despite their shebang. scripts/bench_embeddings.py:9 documents its own invocation as scripts/bench_embeddings.py --bin target/release/mlxcel-server ..., which cannot run today.

Proposed Solution

Set the executable bit in the index with git update-index --chmod=+x (or chmod +x then commit) on the shebang-carrying files. Verify with git ls-files -s scripts/**/*.py.

Implementation Notes

• Non-executable despite a shebang: scripts/bench_embeddings.py, scripts/benchmark_gemma3n_python.py, scripts/benchmark_llama3_python.py, scripts/benchmark_python.py, scripts/bridge_overhead_microbench_py.py, scripts/gather_qmm_shape_microbench.py, scripts/layer_shaped_microbench_py.py, scripts/requantize_mlp.py (confirmed 100644 for the sampled files).
• Separately, scripts/insert_apache_header.py, scripts/tools/internlm_rope_oracle.py, and scripts/tools/quantize_mtp_drafter.py have neither a shebang nor +x. Decide whether to normalize them or leave them as python3 <file> only.

Acceptance Criteria

• Every scripts/**/*.py with a shebang is executable in the index
• The three shebang-less files are either normalized or explicitly left alone with a note in the PR

Original Suggestion

Title: chore(scripts): make the shebang'd Python scripts executable

Ten Python scripts under scripts/ carry a #!/usr/bin/env python3 shebang but are not executable, so the invocation some of them document for themselves fails with "permission denied". Every scripts/ci/*.py (and scripts/bench_mlxlm.py) is +x, so the convention is established.

Evidence

Non-executable despite a shebang: scripts/bench_embeddings.py, scripts/benchmark_gemma3n_python.py, scripts/benchmark_llama3_python.py, scripts/benchmark_python.py, scripts/bridge_overhead_microbench_py.py, scripts/gather_qmm_shape_microbench.py, scripts/layer_shaped_microbench_py.py, scripts/requantize_mlp.py.

scripts/bench_embeddings.py:9 documents its own invocation as scripts/bench_embeddings.py --bin target/release/mlxcel-server ..., which fails today.

Separately, scripts/insert_apache_header.py, scripts/tools/internlm_rope_oracle.py, and scripts/tools/quantize_mtp_drafter.py have neither a shebang nor +x — decide whether to bring them in line or leave them as python3 <file>-only.

Suggested fix

git update-index --chmod=+x on the shebang'd files (or chmod +x + commit). Purely mechanical; verify with git ls-files -s scripts/*.py.

Acceptance criteria

• Every scripts/**/*.py with a shebang is executable in the index
• The three shebang-less files are either normalized or explicitly left alone with a note in the PR
