Restore 45-action factored space via Branching DQN (Tavakoli 2018),
outputting 11 Q-values (5+3+3) instead of 45. This was reduced to 5
exposure-only actions during debugging and was never intended as permanent.
- Enable use_branching: true by default in DQNConfig and DQNHyperparameters
- Add branching paths to select_action_with_confidence and select_action_inference
- Update agent.rs select_action_factored for branching-aware selection
- Expand CountBonus to per-branch tracking with bonuses_branched()
- Add order_type + urgency distribution tracking in monitoring
- Add DQN_ORDER_ACTIONS=3, DQN_URGENCY_ACTIONS=3, DQN_TOTAL_ACTIONS=45 to CUDA header
- Fix 7 pre-existing clippy doc_markdown errors in regime_conditional.rs
- Fix pre-existing cognitive_complexity in replay_buffer_type.rs (extract helpers)
- Fix flaky GPU test OOM under parallel execution (CPU fallback + test VRAM safety)
- Delete unused flash_attention submodules (block_sparse, causal_masking, etc.)
- Add GPU hot-path guard scripts and ensemble/hyperopt adapter improvements
Tests: ml-dqn 416/0, ml 905/0, clippy 0 errors on both crates

11-task plan across 4 chunks: Training Guard kernel + wrapper (Tasks 1-3),
wire into trainer (Tasks 4-6), Q-value monitor + action routing (Tasks 7-9),
experience collector audit + final verification (Tasks 10-11).
Eliminates all 10 GPU→CPU sync barriers from the DQN training hot path.

Defines architecture for eliminating all 10 GPU→CPU sync barriers from
the training loop via 4 new GPU components: Training Guard (pinned
memory predicates), Q-Value Monitor (on-device accumulator), GPU-resident
action selection, and async experience collector readback.
