fix: increased curiosity stack to 16KB + monitoring sync guard + atom scaling

Browse Source 
1. Curiosity kernel stack: 8KB → 16KB (3KB needed + call frame headroom)
2. Training kernel stack: 64KB (46KB needed for DIST_SIZE arrays)
3. Monitoring sync guard: catches async monitoring kernel crashes
4. Dynamic C51 atoms: 11 on <8GB, 21 on <16GB, 51 on >=16GB
5. Event tracking disabled in GpuDqnTrainer for CUDA Graph compat
6. Debug traces in training loop (temporary, for deadlock diagnosis)
