jgrusewski 1a3da6f6b0 spec: Candle GpuVarStore elimination — 40+ call sites, 15 files, blocks bottleneck ...

VarStore is a CPU-trip corrupting data + degrading performance. Must be
replaced with direct pointer buffers (flat params_buf is already the
source of truth). Checkpoint, weight extraction, and polyak updates
all need porting to direct CudaSlice operations.
