+//! Integration test: GPU-resident PER replay buffer
+//!
+//! Verifies that GpuReplayBuffer produces correct sampling dynamics:
+//! 1. Priority-weighted sampling skews towards high-priority experiences
+//! 2. Priority updates change sampling distribution
+//! 3. Multi-epoch insert + sample + update cycle works end-to-end
+//! 4. KS test: GPU PER distribution differs significantly from uniform
