//! ModernBERT (Warner et al. 2024 "Smarter, Better, Faster,
//! Longer") ported to the lazy-graph API.
//!
//! ModernBERT is a bidirectional encoder designed for long-
//! context, memory-efficient inference. Departures from the
//! classic BERT/DistilBERT shape:
//!
//! 1. **Two RoPE tables** with different bases. Layers alternate
//! between "global" (full attention, larger `global_rope_theta`)
//! and "local" (sliding-window attention,
//! smaller `local_rope_theta`). Layer index `i` uses local
//! attention iff `i % global_attn_every_n_layers != 0`.
//! 2. **Sliding-window attention** on local layers: each token
//! can only attend to tokens within `±(local_attention / 2)`.
//! Implemented as an additive `(seq, seq)` mask broadcast-
//! added to the global pad mask.
//! 3. **Pre-LN** with **optional attn_norm**. Layer 0 typically
//! has no attn_norm (the input is already pre-normalized by
//! the embedding LayerNorm); subsequent layers always have it.
//! mlp_norm is always present.
//! 4. **GeGLU FFN**: `wi(x).chunk(2)` → `wo(gelu_tanh(x0) * x1)`.
//! `x0` is the gate path; `x1` is the value path. The
//! `intermediate_size * 2` width is fused into a single
//! projection.
//! 5. **Fused QKV** (`Wqkv: [hidden, 3 * hidden]`), output
//! projection `Wo`.
//! 6. **LayerNorm with no bias** everywhere.
//! 7. **No token type embeddings**, no absolute position
//! embeddings — RoPE handles position.
//!
//! # Scope (v1)
//!
//! Forward-only, batch == 1, F32. Returns per-token hidden
//! states `(1, seq, hidden_size)`. Optional global additive
//! attention mask shaped `(1, 1, seq, seq)` (caller-built from
//! a pad mask); the local sliding-window mask is built
//! internally from `seq_len`. Classification / MLM heads stay
//! out of v1 — they're a small follow-up.
