//! PMAT-701 Bug B: Q4K-native frozen-teacher path for `apr distill --backend cuda`.
//!
//! Contract: `contracts/cuda-q4k-frozen-teacher-v1.yaml`
//!
//! # What this fixes
//!
//! The legacy `CudaTrainerTeacher` (aprender-train-distill) dequantizes Q4K
//! teacher weights to F32 at GPU upload. A 7B Q4K teacher (4 GB on disk)
//! inflates to ~28 GB of F32 GPU memory, which trips the Linux OOM killer
//! once you add the student's F32 + grads + Adam + activations footprint.
//!
//! [`RealizarQ4KTeacher`] takes a different path: it wraps realizar's
//! existing inference-time `OwnedQuantizedModelCuda`, which keeps weights
//! in Q4K on the GPU and uses Q4K-native CUDA kernels for forward GEMM
//! (the same path validated by `apr run`). Teacher GPU footprint stays at
//! ~4 GB for the 7B model — within budget on Grace Blackwell GB10.
//!
//! # When this path is used
//!
//! [`run_cuda_backend`](super::distill::run_cuda_backend) inspects the
//! teacher .apr's tensor dtype histogram. Any presence of
//! [`TensorDType::Q4K`] or [`TensorDType::Q6K`] routes the teacher
//! provider here. F32/F16/BF16 teachers continue to use
//! `CudaTrainerTeacher` (the dequant path is harmless for those types
//! since they don't inflate).
//!
//! # Falsifier mapping
//!
//! - FT-Q4K-TEACHER-001: no `[PMAT-333] Dequantizing` log line in the
//! teacher load path (the dequant happens inside realizar's
//! `OwnedQuantizedModel::from_apr` only for non-quantized tensors,
//! not for Q4K blocks).
//! - FT-Q4K-TEACHER-002: peak GPU memory for 7B Q4K teacher <= 6 GB.
//! - FT-Q4K-TEACHER-003: forward parity with `apr run` (same kernel path).
//! - FT-Q4K-TEACHER-005: `apr distill --epochs 1` completes on GB10.
