//! FCD polish — hand-rolled forward/backward operators.
//!
//! The training graph is FIXED (docs/RUST_FCD.md), so there is no
//! autograd and no tape: every operator here is a (forward, backward)
//! pair written out by hand, llm.c style. Ops are generic over the
//! minimal `Fp` float trait so the SAME code that trains in f32 is
//! gradchecked in f64 against central finite differences
//! (tests/fcd_gradcheck.rs, rel err < 1e-3).
//!
//! Conventions:
//! - all matrices are row-major; weight matrices use the runtime layout
//!   `[out_dim, in_dim]` (a matvec is out[o] = dot(w_row_o, x));
//! - every backward ACCUMULATES into its output gradient buffers
//!   (`+=`) — callers zero them once per step, residual branches then
//!   just add up naturally;
//! - the attention-weight ops (`attn_head_*`, `nystrom_head_*`) are
//!   meant to run in f64: the certified CPU probe computed the T×T
//!   weight matrices in f64, which also makes raw `exp(±40)` safe with
//!   no flash-shift bookkeeping.
