//! Speculative decoding: propose several candidate next tokens with
//! something cheap, then verify them all in a single
//! `Decoder::forward_batch` call instead of one `forward_token` call
//! per token.
//!
//! Two halves, deliberately separated:
//!
//! * **Drafting** is the [`Drafter`] trait. The only implementation in
//!   the tree is [`PromptLookupSpeculator`], an n-gram match over the
//!   history with no model at all (the same idea as vLLM's "prompt
//!   lookup decoding"), chosen because it needs no GPU, no second set
//!   of weights and no checkpoint to be useful. A model-based drafter
//!   (MTP head, EAGLE, dFlash) is a second impl of the same trait.
//! * **Verification** is [`speculative_decode_with`], and it does not
//!   know or care which drafter proposed the block.
//!
//! # Losslessness is the property that matters most here
//!
//! Speculative decoding is only worth having if it produces exactly the
//! same *distribution* the target model would have produced on its own,
//! just faster. This module implements the speculative-sampling
//! rejection rule (Leviathan et al. 2023 / Chen et al. 2023): a draft
//! token `x` proposed with draft probability `q(x)` is accepted with
//! probability `min(1, p(x)/q(x))`, and on rejection the position is
//! resampled from the normalised residual `max(0, p - q)`. That rule is
//! lossless at *every* temperature.
//!
//! It is worth being precise about what the previous accept test --
//! `argmax(target_logits[i]) == guess` -- actually guaranteed, because
//! it looks like the same thing and is not. Argmax matching is exactly
//! the special case of the rule above at `temperature = 0`, where `p`
//! is a point mass: `p(x)` is 1 when the guess is the argmax and 0
//! otherwise, so acceptance is certain or impossible and the residual
//! collapses back onto the argmax. Above temperature 0 it is a
//! different algorithm with a different output distribution -- it
//! silently biases generation toward the target's argmax, because a
//! draft token only survives if it happens to be the most likely one.
//! [`accept_or_resample`] is therefore not an optimisation; it is the
//! difference between "lossless" being true and being a claim.
//!
//! The invariant is tested directly, not assumed:
//! `resampling_reproduces_the_target_distribution` pushes two hundred
//! thousand tokens through the accept/reject rule with deliberately bad
//! draft distributions and asserts the empirical output matches the
//! target distribution;
//! `speculative_decode_at_temperature_matches_plain_sampling` compares
//! a real decode at temperature 1.0 against the target's own exactly
//! enumerated per-position marginals; and
//! `speculative_decode_matches_greedy_token_for_token` asserts
//! token-for-token identity with a plain `forward_token` loop at
//! temperature 0.
