//! Training entry points for flodl.
//!
//! The primary entry point is [`Trainer`]. It works transparently on 1 or
//! N GPUs - single-device training has zero DDP overhead. Reach for
//! [`Trainer`] by default; drop to [`Ddp`] only when you need explicit
//! multi-GPU control.
//!
//! **Default** ([`Trainer::setup()`], [`Trainer::builder()`]): user-owned or
//! framework-owned training loop, transparent single/multi-GPU. Same API in
//! both cases.
//!
//! **Explicit multi-GPU** ([`Ddp::wrap()`]): manual control over gradient
//! sync and parameter broadcast for advanced patterns (GAN, RL, progressive).
//!
//! # Setup mode (user owns the loop)
//!
//! ```ignore
//! Trainer::setup(&model, |dev| build_model(dev), |p| Adam::new(p, 0.001))?;
//!
//! // Training loop is identical for 1 or N GPUs:
//! for (x, y) in &train_loader {
//!     let out = model.forward(&x)?;
//!     let loss = cross_entropy_loss(&out, &y)?;
//!     loss.backward()?;
//!     model.step()?;
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Builder mode (framework owns the loop)
//!
//! ```ignore
//! let handle = Trainer::builder(model_factory, optim_factory, train_fn)
//!     .dataset(dataset)
//!     .batch_size(32)
//!     .num_epochs(10)
//!     .run()?;
//!
//! let state = handle.join()?;
//! ```
//!
//! # Manual DDP
//!
//! ```ignore
//! let ddp = Ddp::wrap(&[&model0, &model1], &devices)?;
//! ddp.sync_params()?;
//! // ... custom forward/backward ...
//! ddp.all_reduce_gradients()?;
