//! `DecoderOnlyLLM` trait — the "model family" interface that every
//! decoder-only language model (Qwen3 / Llama / Mistral / DeepSeek / ...)
//! implements, independent of backend and weight format.
//!
//! `LlmExecutor` (living in `ferrum-engine`) holds a `Box<dyn DecoderOnlyLLM>`
//! and adapts it to the `ModelExecutor` trait that the scheduler calls.

/// Runtime configuration every decoder-only LLM must expose.
///
/// This is the *execution-facing* config — the bare minimum the surrounding
/// engine needs (KV cache sizing, sampler vocab bounds, scheduler quotas).
/// It deliberately does not include architecture details like `num_heads`
/// or `intermediate_size`; those stay private to the model implementation.

/// - `decode` processes a single generated token at position `pos` and
///   returns logits for the next step.
/// - `release` frees the KV cache for a completed sequence.
///
/// Today the model owns its KV cache. Integration with `ferrum-kv`'s paged
/// KV manager is a Phase D concern; the trait is kept minimal so it can
/// evolve then without a full refactor.
