Two GPU bottlenecks fixed:
1. GradStore key mismatch (40,000+ warnings/run): clip_grad_norm now uses
TensorId-based iteration exclusively. The old Var-based lookup always
failed (0/16 matches) due to identity drift from BF16 dtype conversion,
then fell back to TensorId anyway. Removed the pointless Var path and
fallback warning entirely.
2. CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_PTX on H100 (sm_90): The standard per-thread kernel
(~7.5 KB stack × 256 threads) caused invalid PTX when co-compiled with
the warp kernel for compute_90. Guarded with #if __CUDA_ARCH__ < 900
so only the warp-cooperative kernel (200 bytes/lane) is compiled on
Hopper. Rust-side kernel loading restructured to query SM before
compilation and load the appropriate kernel variant directly.
Test results: ml-core=311, ml-dqn=416, ml=915 — 0 failures, 0 clippy warnings.

- gradient_utils: Add TensorId-based fallback when Var identity mismatch
causes 0/N vars to match GradStore (Candle Adam clones Arcs). Fallback
computes norm AND clips via insert_id. Throttled warning (1st + every
1000th). 7 unit tests including mismatch-actually-clips.
- monitoring: Track full 45-action factored space (5 exposure × 3 order
× 3 urgency). Fix validate_rewards false alarm on GPU path where single
aggregated mean_reward per epoch gives N=1 → std=0.
- trainer: GPU experience collection routes exposure actions through
route_action() for factored tracking instead of exposure-only counts.
Applied in both per-step and epoch-summary paths.
- train_baseline_rl: Auto-detect VRAM <8GB → disable GPU replay buffer
to prevent OOM on RTX 3050 Ti class GPUs.
- smoke_test_real_data: E2E DQN training test with 6 assertions (epoch
completion, loss decrease, finite losses, Q-value divergence, 45-action
space, finite gradient norms).
Validated: 1642 tests pass (ml=915, ml-core=311, ml-dqn=416), 0 clippy
warnings, baseline RL trains 10 epochs on CUDA with Sharpe +5.45.

clip_grad_norm now returns a GPU-resident Tensor instead of (f64, f64),
keeping backward → clip → optimizer.step fully pipelined on GPU with
zero cuStreamSynchronize stalls. The unconditional multiply trick
(scale = min(max_norm/(norm+eps), 1.0)) avoids the conditional branch
that previously required reading the norm to CPU.
Key changes:
- gradient_utils::clip_grad_norm: return Tensor, unconditional GPU multiply
- Handle BF16 mixed-precision via per-gradient to_dtype cast
- adam.rs: backward_step_with_monitoring returns Tensor (zero sync)
- gradient_accumulation: delegate to gradient_utils (DRY, same GPU path)
- dqn.rs: single sync boundary after ALL GPU work queued
1746 tests passing (ml-core 286, ml-dqn 388, ml-ppo 198, ml 874).

clip_grad_norm: accumulate squared norms on GPU-resident scalar, single
to_scalar() at end (was 16-20 per-param syncs per step × 2917 steps/epoch).
check_gradients_finite: same GPU-accumulation pattern, single sync.
gpu_replay_buffer sample_proportional/rank_based: generate random targets
via rand(0,1)*total_sum on GPU, normalize weights via broadcast_div
(eliminates 2 to_vec0 syncs per sample call).
gpu_replay_buffer update_priorities_gpu: replace CPU loop of 50 individual
slice_scatter calls with single batched index_add delta trick.
dqn NaN detection (every 500 steps): accumulate 3 NaN counts on GPU,
single to_scalar for total; detailed breakdown only if NaN found.
dqn dead neuron detection (every 1000 steps): accumulate dead count on
GPU-resident scalar (was to_vec0 per parameter tensor, ~16-20 syncs).
Net: ~22 GPU→CPU syncs + 50 micro-kernels per training step → 2 syncs.

Move optimizers, gradient_accumulation, gradient_utils, cuda_compat,
tensor_ops, and gpu (device config, capabilities, memory profiling) to
ml-core. These are shared compute primitives used by all models.
Also commit module files for core types (common, config, error, model,
traits, types) that were moved from ml to ml-core in task 5a but left
staged without being committed.
Notable changes:
- resolve_batch_size() stays in ml (new batch_size_resolver module)
because it depends on memory_optimization::auto_batch_size which
has not yet moved to ml-core
- FactoredAction legacy bridge converted from inherent impl to
extension trait (FactoredActionLegacy) since FactoredAction is now
defined in ml-core, not ml
- candle-optimisers added to ml-core dependencies (needed by Adam)
