This commit fixes a critical bug in the tie-breaking logic of the pallas_topk_mask implementation. The find_boundary_chunk function, which is responsible for stably handling ties, had two issues: incorrect k-update logic and improper array slicing in its second-stage search. These bugs caused the function to fail on inputs with many tied values.

The solution addresses both problems by:

  1. Correcting the k-update calculation to properly adjust the rank for subsequent searches.
  2. Ensuring the second-stage search slices the correct, narrowed-down array.

The fix has been verified by running the comprehensive test suite, which now passes.

The `find_boundary_chunk` function contained two bugs that caused incorrect behavior when handling ties in the `topk_mask` Pallas implementation:

1.  The k-update logic was flawed, incorrectly summing cumulative sums.
2.  The second-stage search was incorrectly slicing the original array instead of the narrowed-down slice from the first stage.

This commit corrects both issues, ensuring the tie-breaking logic is robust and correct.
