test(sp17): V-invariance behavioral test

Verifies the architectural contract: V depends only on state, not on
the specific advantage tensor. Two A tensors with same per-atom mean
produce different post-centering shapes ⇒ different per-action E[Q]
(centering is shape-sensitive), but the V-only diagnostic readout is
identical across the two runs (V cannot leak in via the per-atom mean
reduction).

This is the structural property that makes dueling work — without it,
the model conflates "state value" with "action value" and gradient
updates corrupt V via raw-A noise.

// ── Phase 2 behavioral tests: V/A separation contract ────────────────
//
// The four tests below probe the *architectural* contract — not just
// the math. They use the same `compute_expected_q` and
// `experience_action_select` kernels as the migration tests above, but
// the assertions verify *structural* properties of the dueling
// decomposition: that V depends only on state, that A_centered ignores
// V scale, that no signal degenerates to uniform when A is
// identically zero, and that an asymmetric A yields a deterministic
// pick (modulo the kernel's MIN_TEMP=0.5 floor).
//
// If any test fails, the migration is *syntactically* correct but
// *semantically* broken — V leaked into A's centering, or A leaked
// into V's diagnostic readout, or the Thompson selector ignored its
// V input again. These tests are the structural-regression detectors
// that go beyond bit-equivalence-to-CPU-oracle.
/// SP17 Phase 2 Task 2.1: V-invariance under A perturbation.
///
/// Architectural contract: the V head depends only on state, not on
/// the specific A tensor presented at training time. Two A tensors
/// with the *same per-atom mean* but *different post-centering shape*
/// produce *different* per-action E[Q] (centering is sensitive to
/// shape) yet leave the V-only diagnostic readout identical (V is
/// independent of A).
///
/// Construction:
/// - Same V vector across both runs.
/// - A1 and A2 chosen so `mean_a A1[*, z] == mean_a A2[*, z]` for
/// every atom z, but the post-centering tensors differ.
/// - Run `compute_expected_q` twice (per-action E[Q] differs ⇒
/// centering active) and run `v_a_means_diag_kernel` twice (E[V]
/// identical ⇒ V invariant under A perturbation).
///
/// If the centering accidentally pulled V into the per-atom mean
/// (e.g., a future regression that conflates V and A reductions),
/// the v_a_means_diag readout would shift between A1 and A2 — caught
/// by the per-run E[V] equality assertion.
