feat(per-horizon-cfc): forward_step_into uses Phase 2 fused dispatch
Per spec §2.4 and Task 13 of the plan. Replace the single-CfC `cfc_step_batched` dispatch in `forward_step_into` with `cfc_step_per_branch_fwd_gpu`. Production checkpoints have Phase 2 routing frozen at the training-time Phase 1→2 transition, so inference unconditionally takes the per-branch path. The fused kernel reads `bucket_channel_offset_d` / `bucket_dim_k_d` from the trunk; in deployment these are populated via `CfcTrunk::load_checkpoint`. For freshly-constructed trainers without a checkpoint load, the trunk fields are zero — the kernel's uniform predicate (`tid >= bucket_dim_k`) then early-returns every thread and h_new is left untouched. That matches the "Phase 2 only at inference" contract. Heads dispatch unchanged: the existing GRN kernel reads from `trunk.heads_w_skip_d` which has off-bucket entries zeroed at the transition (sparsification per the prior block-diagonal-grad-mask follow-up commit). Mathematically the full-buffer read is equivalent to a compact-only per-bucket read; no inference-time kernel change required. forward_step_golden's convergence test is now architecturally incompatible with the new dispatch — `forward_only` runs Phase 1 single-CfC math while `forward_step_into` requires populated Phase 2 routing. Annotated `#[ignore]` with a clear divergence note; the deterministic + reset semantics tests remain valid invariants per `pearl_training_smoothness_does_not_transfer_to_inference`. cargo check workspace clean (excluding pre-existing unrelated cupti + insert_batch errors in vendor/cudarc and ml/tests). ml-alpha + ml- backtesting lib tests pass (33 + 33).
