Fix SDPA KV-cache decode to respect sliding window ( #456 )
...
SDPA fallback now respects sliding window during single-token KV-cache
decode by slicing K/V to the last (window + 1) tokens.
Also simplifies the mask building for chunk inference to properly apply
sliding window in that path as well.
Fixes #452

fix: pass device_type to compute_init in engine.__main__ ( #451 )
...
When running engine.py directly on non-GPU devices (CPU, MPS),
compute_init() needs the device_type parameter to initialize correctly.
This fixes failures on machines without CUDA support.

Big DataLoader refactor: BOS-aligned dataloaders with epoch tracking for pre/mid-training
...
The new DataLoader ensures that every token sequence in train/val batches has a BOS token
at the beginning. Therefore, no token streams start abruptly in the middle of a document,
which could be confusing for the model. Note that this changes the loss scale because there
are fewer confusing tokens in the train/val batches. The main downside is that we now waste
about 35% of tokens due to cropping. This is ok because we have a lot of data. See dev/LOG.md
entry for this change for a lot more information.

Big Muon optimizer changes inspired by latest of modded-nanogpt. Added Polar Express, Adafactor-style variance reduction, cautious weight decay, schedule weight decay linearly to ramp down to zero. Tuned optimum weight decay for multiple model sizes d8, d12, d16, d20 and found a scaling law with optimum wd \propto 1/channels^2, including it as default into code. --weight_decay of base_train is now default on and configured optimally according to all of these experiments. Solid bump to val_bpb observed as a result of these changes.

files-to-prompt was including untracked files (knowledge/, dev scripts, etc.) which inflated the bloat metrics. now we use git ls-files to only count tracked source files, which is more accurate and removes an external dependency.

fix: sample first token independently for each row in multi-sample generation
...
Previously, when generating multiple samples (num_samples > 1), the first
token after prefill was sampled once and broadcast to all rows, causing
all samples to start identically. Now the prefill logits are expanded to
num_samples and sampled independently for each row.
Also simplified the generation loop by moving the forward pass to the end
of the loop, eliminating the first_iteration flag and if/else branching.
