Two forward-only Tensor primitives the KV-cache decode engine is built on,
each gated by an isolated correctness test:
- rope_at(theta, pos0): RoPE at an absolute position (pos = pos0 + row, no
modulo) for a single decode token, vs the training rope_k (pos = row %
period) left untouched. New forward-only CUDA kernel, no training-path risk.
Gate: bit-identical to the full-sequence rope's corresponding row.
- decode_attention(k, v, scale): single-query × cached-K/V SDPA, composed from
the existing strided batched GEMM + plain (non-causal) softmax — no new
kernel. Gate: equals the full causal attention's last query row (max |Δ| 6e-8).

New xtrain-tensor crate: DType (F32), shape/stride helpers, Arc-counted
host/device Storage with CPU↔CUDA copy, and a contiguous Tensor with
creation, host↔device transfer, and a scale() op driving the elementwise
kernel. GPU integration tests (host↔device roundtrip + scale correctness)
gated behind not(no_cuda); a thin build.rs emits the no_cuda cfg so the
kernel call sites compile out locally.
