v1.1.0 — Advanced node (ablations, per-adapter strengths, fused epilogue)
Advanced node
New Apply VDN-H3 Advanced node alongside the base one — defaults reproduce the released model exactly; knobs for experimenters:
- Per-adapter strengths: separate stage_b_strength / urbo_strength
- Ablation knobs: window radius/chunk, anchor frames (�oth/columns/rows/none), text-state toggle, linear-branch off (window-only ablation) — console warns when deviating from the trained spec
- **ast_kernels**: torch.compile fuses the branch's RMSNorm+gate epilogue into one kernel (same math; permanent eager fallback if compilation fails)
Also: branch weights placement and the windowed softmax are unchanged; the window and linear-branch toggles are now independently decoupled in the forward path.
Verified: full unit suite (window partition, delta scans, adapter folding, bypass reload stability, flex mask, fused/eager epilogue parity). GPU verification of the compiled epilogue pending a render.
