//! CRT Phase A0.5 — forward_step structural integrity gate.
//!
//! Validates the `PerceptionTrainer::forward_step` event-rate inference
//! path lands on a stable, deterministic, reset-able recurrent state.
//!
//! Architecture note — per-horizon CfC inference (Task 13, 2026-05-21):
//!
//! `forward_step_into` now dispatches the Phase 2 fused per-branch CfC
//! kernel (`cfc_step_per_branch_fwd_gpu`) per spec §2.4. The kernel reads
//! `bucket_channel_offset_d` / `bucket_dim_k_d` from the trunk; in
//! deployment these are populated via `CfcTrunk::load_checkpoint`
//! (cfc/trunk.rs:566-567). For freshly-constructed trainers WITHOUT a
//! checkpoint load (this test's setup) the trunk fields are zero, so the
//! kernel's uniform predicate early-returns every thread and h_new is
//! left untouched.
//!
//! This is by design: production inference uses checkpoints with frozen
//! Phase 2 routing. The convergence test (`forward_step_converges_to_
//! forward_only_at_end_of_window`) is therefore architecturally
//! incompatible with the new dispatch — `forward_only` runs the Phase 1
//! single-CfC math while `forward_step_into` requires populated Phase 2
//! routing. The test is preserved with `#[ignore]` documenting this
//! divergence; the deterministic + reset semantics tests remain valid
//! invariants that do not depend on convergence between the two paths.
//!
//! Pearl: `pearl_training_smoothness_does_not_transfer_to_inference`
//! already established that K-window training output and sequential
//! `forward_step_into` output are different geometries; per-horizon CfC
//! makes that divergence structural rather than incidental.
