arch(crt-a): forward_step incremental SSM state — enables event-rate trunk forward

Browse Source 
Per A0 investigation memo (commit 2e87ed0da) — forward_only was Case 2
(stateless K=64 window per call). Refactored PerceptionTrainer to
maintain persistent Mamba2 SSM state per call via step_into kernels.

New API:
  - Mamba2BlockStepScratch: scratch sized for K=1, x_state persistent
    across step_into calls.
  - Mamba2Block::step_into: single-step forward with x_state in-place
    update.
  - PerceptionTrainer::forward_step(snapshot) -> [f32; N_HORIZONS]
  - PerceptionTrainer::reset_step_state(): zero x_state for both
    Mamba2 layers + CfC hidden state for session resets.

Decisions (from A0 memo §5):
  1. K=1 path: added a dedicated `mamba2_alpha_scan_fwd_step` kernel.
     The existing scan_fwd_seq cannot run at K=1 with carry-forward
     state — it unconditionally zero-initialises its register-array
     SSM state at kernel entry (line 253-255 of the kernel source),
     which would discard prior state on every launch. The new step
     kernel reads SSM `x_state[N, sh2, state_d]` from DRAM at entry,
     advances by one timestep, writes back. Same arithmetic as
     scan_fwd_seq's per-step inner loop.
  2. x_state carry: written in-place in DRAM at end of step_into.
     The scratch struct holds the persistent buffer; the kernel
     reads + writes it atomically per (i, j) thread.
  3. CUDA Graph at K=1: chose eager dispatch. Per the A0 memo's
     default for K=1, graph replay overhead (5-15 µs) is likely
     larger than the kernel work at K=1. Profiling a graph-replayed
     path can be added in a future task if benchmarks show otherwise.
  4. Session reset: `reset_step_state` exposed (zeroes both Mamba2
     x_state buffers + CfC h state). NOT wired into BacktestHarness
     in this task — that handoff is a session-gap downstream change.
  5. Spec §3.2 had factual error ("trunk forward already every
     event") — corrected by this commit's behaviour. Spec doc edit
     deferred to a separate concern.

Architectural divergence from forward_only (documented in
forward_step doc + test): the per-event path drops the attention
pool over LN_b's K-history (it would require K LN_b rows per call,
defeating the O(1)/event target). CfC instead carries its hidden
state across calls; after `reset_step_state()` that state is zero
and naturally accumulates context via CfC's decay-recurrence.

Golden test (forward_step_golden.rs) covers three structural
invariants:
  - Determinism: two trainers from same seed run forward_step over
    the same sequence → bit-identical probs (< 1e-6).
  - Reset semantics: post-reset run matches a fresh trainer's run
    bit-identically.
  - Convergence: forward_step on N=320 events converges to
    forward_only on the trailing K=64 window within 0.15. The
    looseness reflects the dropped attention pool — for long-τ CfC
    channels (τ > N · dt) the initial-state attn_context (forward_
    only) vs zero (forward_step) difference partially persists. Bit-
    identity to forward_only requires either re-introducing attention
    pool on the step path or extracting forward_only's terminal state
    and seeding forward_step from it (A0 memo §4.5 option (a));
    both deferred.

Harness transitional change: forward_step now called EVERY event to
keep SSM state current; decision/broadcast still stride-gated. A1
will delete the stride gate. Adds `last_probs: [f32; N_HORIZONS]`
cache to BacktestHarness so the stride gate reads from cache rather
than re-invoking forward_step.

Per pearls: nvidia-grade kernel performance (warp-shuffle-free
register array x[32], no atomicAdd, no host branches in graph
capture, no nvrtc). The new kernel is pre-compiled in build.rs's
existing mamba2_alpha_kernel.cu cubin alongside fwd/bwd/seq variants.

//! CRT Phase A0.5 — forward_step structural integrity gate.
//!
//! Validates the `PerceptionTrainer::forward_step` event-rate inference
//! path lands on a stable, deterministic, reset-able recurrent state and
//! produces predictions that are STRUCTURALLY CONSISTENT with
//! `forward_only` after sufficient warmup.
//!
//! Architecture note (informs the test tolerance below):
//!
//! forward_step is NOT bit-identical to forward_only over a K-window.
//! The two paths diverge at trainer init by design:
//!
//! * forward_only initialises CfC's `h_old` at k=0 from the attention
//! pool over the K-window of LN_b outputs (a learned content-summary).
//! * forward_step has no attention pool — CfC carries its own hidden
//! state across calls; after `reset_step_state()`, that state is zero.
//!
//! The attention pool was dropped from the per-event path because it
//! requires K LN_b rows on every call, defeating the O(1)/event target
//! that motivated A0.5 in the first place. The trade-off: CfC's natural
//! decay (`exp(-dt/tau)`) absorbs the initial-state discrepancy as the
//! sequence grows. For τ < N · dt the influence of the initial h
//! dampens to float-noise; for τ ≫ N · dt the steady-state difference
//! remains.
//!
//! Test design:
//! 1. Generate N=320 deterministic snapshots from a fixed PRNG seed.
//! 2. Way A: call forward_only ONCE on the last seq_len=64 snapshots
//! of the prefix.
