//! RL Phase B API-surface test: `PerceptionTrainer::forward_encoder()`.
//!
//! Contract under test: the encoder forward returns a borrowed device
//! slice of length `B * HIDDEN_DIM` (= the CfC h_new at the FINAL
//! window position, where the trade decision is made) and the slice
//! contains finite f32 values that match `read_h_new_per_k_last`
//! (which reads the same K-1 slot via a parallel readback path). The
//! integrated RL trainer (Phase E) relies on this exact contract:
//! arbitrary head losses can be applied to forward_encoder's output
//! and the same encoder representation a supervised step() would have
//! seen is what feeds the heads.
//!
//! This test exercises the API only — it does NOT verify gradient
//! flow through the encoder. The backward integration lands in Phase
//! E (per the plan); Phase B is the forward contract. The test name
//! ("encoder_gradient") reflects the end-goal — the public hook the
//! gradient path will plug into — not the verification scope of this
//! commit.
//!
//! Requires a working CUDA device (the trainer's captured-graph
//! infrastructure is CUDA-only). Skips gracefully when CUDA is
//! unavailable so `cargo test -p ml-alpha` on CPU-only CI hosts does
//! not regress.
