Gahow Wang 830d06ad01 gqa: real grouped-query attention (repeat_kv op + both SDPA paths + wiring + tests)
- repeat_kv CUDA kernel: fwd head-block gather, bwd DETERMINISTIC group-sum (each
  kv head sums its group of query-head grads; no atomics) + Tensor/ops node.
- Config gains num_kv_heads (default = n_heads → MHA); wk/wv project to kv_dim;
  attention() repeat_kv-broadcasts K/V to nh heads before the UNCHANGED composed
  & flash SDPA → GQA on both paths. group=1 is identity → MHA bit-identical.
- --kv-heads flag on train/train_ddp/export_safetensors/greedy_sample; export
  writes real num_key_value_heads (xserv repeat_kv grouping aligned).
- Tests: repeat_kv grad-check (group>1 grad-sum + group=1 identity); model gqa.rs
  (GQA flash==composed fp32/bf16, group=1 bit-identical to MHA, kv-proj shape);
  parity_dump+parity.py GQA path (repeat_interleave) via XTRAIN_PARITY_KV_HEADS.

//! Differentiable ops as autograd nodes (Phase T4).
//!
//! Each function runs the forward [`Tensor`] kernel, then builds a [`Var`] whose
//! backward closure computes the analytic gradient (see
//! `docs/03-autograd-engine.md` for the math) and pushes it to each parent via
//! [`Var::push_grad`] (which SUMs — correct under fan-out). Forward outputs that
//! the backward needs (softmax `y`, rms `inv_rms`, cross-entropy `probs`) are
//! cached by moving them into the closure.
//!
//! Attention is NOT a node here: it is composed from `matmul` + `scale` +
//! `softmax` in user code, and its backward falls out of theirs.
