//! Full inference pipeline: tokenize → embed → layers → lm_head → sample → decode.
//!
//! Prefill/decode contract: every token is forwarded exactly once and
//! enters the KV cache exactly once. Logits for the next token are
//! computed from the hidden state of the LAST forwarded token — the
//! decode loop forwards the freshly sampled token, never re-embeds the
//! prompt tail (v1 duplicated the last prompt token in the cache).
