Phase 3b builds on Phase 3a (2e4c7ebf6). Adds the α infrastructure to the trainer: 2 new CUBIN statics + 7 new struct fields (W weight + Adam moments + grad accumulator + 3 kernel handles), and the new() constructor's alloc + kernel-load block. α kernels are loaded but NEVER launched yet. Phase 3b is functionally equivalent to Phase 3a at runtime — the loaded kernels are dead code until the captured-graph integration (Phase 3c) lands. Architectural finding deferred to Phase 3c ────────────────────────────────────────── The trainer's dueling head doesn't have a separate Q_dir buffer. The `mag_concat_qdir` kernel (gpu_dqn_trainer.rs:9884) computes Q_dir INTERNALLY from on_v_logits_buf + on_b_logits_buf (V + A dueling combine: Q[a] = V + (A[a] - mean(A)) per atom), then immediately concatenates the result with h_s2 in one fused pass. There's no intermediate buffer between "Q_dir computed" and "Q_dir consumed" where α could inject as a parallel skip connection. Two options for α integration (Phase 3c will pick): 1. Modify mag_concat_qdir to take W_aux + state_121 args and apply the α bias to its internal Q_dir computation before concat. Invasive — changes a load-bearing kernel. 2. Add a NEW α-precompute kernel: write Q_dir into a dedicated buffer (V + A combine), then mag_concat_qdir reads from that buffer instead of doing the combine inline. Refactors the dueling head's forward — cleaner separation, bigger change. Phase 3b commits the α infrastructure so Phase 3c can focus solely on the captured-graph integration design choice without also needing to allocate buffers + load kernels.
