Subject: [PATCH] feat(ml-alpha): CfcConfig extended with n_batch + seq_len for
 v2 forward (X11a)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds CfcConfig.n_batch (default 1) and CfcConfig.seq_len (default 32).
PerceptionTrainer's trunk construction passes its training-time
n_batch/seq_len. Default values support backtester inference (B=1, K=32).

X11 foundation: subsequent commits add intermediate buffer fields +
forward_v2 method on CfcTrunk sized from these config fields. With X11
complete, fxt-backtest can drive the v2 forward through the trunk
without instantiating a full PerceptionTrainer.

Verification: ml-alpha + ml-backtesting + fxt-backtest all build clean.

Per spec §1.1 (X11 foundation).
