jgrusewski 1edd71a2c1 feat(sp14-c.5a-fixup): missing scratch buffers + collector ptr scaffolding (dead code)
Phase C.5a-fixup — completes C.5a's additive infrastructure so C.5b can be
a true atomic contract flip with zero scaffolding work mixed in:

- Allocate dh_aux1_pre_scratch [B_max, AUX_TRUNK_H1=256] +
  dh_aux2_pre_scratch [B_max, AUX_TRUNK_H2=128] (missed in C.5a — both
  required by aux_trunk_backward.launch per gpu_aux_trunk.rs:266-267).
- Collector struct gains 6× u64 aux_trunk_{w1,b1,w2,b2,w3,b3}_ptr fields,
  exp_aux_trunk_forward_ops: AuxTrunkForwardOps field (constructed in
  ctor on collector's stream), and set_trainer_aux_trunk_param_ptrs
  setter — mirrors the existing set_trainer_params_ptr zero-copy pattern.
- Trainer gains aux_trunk_param_ptrs() -> (u64×6) accessor returning
  raw_ptr() for all 6 aux trunk parameter tensors.
- training_loop wires the new setter at both existing
  set_trainer_params_ptr call sites (initial fused-ctx init + fold-boundary
  re-init).

NO contract change: wire sites still call save_h_s2. The setter is called
and the 6 aux trunk param ptrs are populated, but no collector-side launch
reads them yet — C.5b atomically inserts aux_trunk_forward.launch(...)
post-forward_online_f32 and switches the aux head input pointer.

Graph-capture audit: aux_heads_backward IS INSIDE the captured `forward`
child graph (call chain: submit_forward_ops_main → launch_cublas_backward
→ launch_cublas_backward_to → aux_heads_backward; capture begins at
fused_training.rs:2964 / capture_child_graph). The existing function body
is fully device-side (zero host writes) — capture-safe by construction.
C.5b's new aux_trunk Adam launch is also fully device-side and will sit
inside the same captured region. The host writes for aux_trunk_t_pinned
must use the existing GPU-side increment_step_counters kernel chain
(submit_counters_ops, line 22799) — NOT host-side aux_trunk_adam_step
+= 1 inside capture. ISV-driven LR/clip writes happen pre-capture
(cold-path); the captured graph reads via aux_trunk_lr_dev_ptr /
aux_trunk_grad_clip_dev_ptr. This avoids the &self → &mut self ripple on
aux_heads_backward (gap 4 in C.5b implementer's blocker report). Full
wiring strategy + alternative (pre-capture host-write) documented in
docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md C.5a-fixup section.

Verification:
- cargo check -p ml --tests --all-targets: clean (no new warnings).
- cargo test -p ml --test aux_trunk_oracle_tests --test sp14_oracle_tests
  --release -- --ignored --nocapture: 12/12 pass (8 aux_trunk + 4 sp14;
  bit-identical to C.5a baseline — pure scaffolding, no regression).
