//! Phase A synthetic-overfit smoke.
//!
//! Drives a tiny PerceptionTrainer (small n_hid) on a hand-crafted input
//! whose label[0] (h=30 horizon) is deterministically the sign of the
//! mid log-return. Asserts the BCE loss shrinks ≥40% over 200 steps —
//! proves the end-to-end fwd+bwd+AdamW chain on real GPU kernels.
