jgrusewski bcf9ecd07c feat(ml): complete all algorithm gaps — TFT, Mamba2, PPO, CPCV, FDR
TFT training completeness:
- Fix mod.rs::train() stub backward → real AdamW optimizer + gradient flow
- Fix TFTTrainer optimizer init, backward pass, LR scheduling, checkpointing
- Fix temporal_attention weight tracking (RwLock, stores per-head means)

Mamba2 discretization:
- Replace raw continuous-time state transition with proper discretization
- SSD layer now uses softplus(delta) step size with 2nd-order Taylor
  approximation of matrix exponential: A_bar ≈ I + A*dt + (A*dt)²/2
- Correct dtype handling (F64 SSM matrices, F32 output)

PPO entropy fix:
- Fix LSTM training path: was using constant entropy (coeff * 0.5),
  now computes real entropy from log-probabilities

Circuit breaker consolidation:
- Move canonical implementation to ml/src/common/circuit_breaker.rs
- DQN and PPO circuit_breaker.rs now re-export from common

Validation stack additions:
- Add CPCV (Combinatorial Purged Cross-Validation) with purging/embargo
- Add FDR correction (Benjamini-Hochberg + Benjamini-Yekutieli)

1922 lib tests pass, 0 failures.

//! # Temporal Self-Attention for TFT
//!
//! Implements temporal self-attention mechanism with multi-head attention,
//! positional encoding, and optional Flash Attention optimization for
//! efficient sequence modeling in high-frequency trading.
//!
//! ## Key Features
//!
//! - Multi-head self-attention with configurable heads
//! - Positional encoding for temporal relationships
//! - Flash Attention 3 optimization for reduced memory and faster computation
//! - Causal masking for autoregressive modeling
//! - Attention weight extraction for interpretability
//! - Sub-10μs attention computation optimized for HFT
