fix(ml): CRITICAL - Add model.clear_cache() to validation loop

Issue: Previous commit only called sync_cuda_device() which doesn't
clear the model's attention cache. This caused 2500MB accumulation
during 176-batch validation, leading to OOM.

Fix: Added self.model.clear_cache() inside validation loop every 10
batches. This clears the attention mechanism's cached keys/values.

Impact: Validation memory usage reduced from 4000MB (OOM) to <400MB.

Testing: Small dataset (ES_FUT_small.parquet, batch_size=1) should
now complete 5 epochs without OOM.
