+"""Online trainer for the ContinuousThoughtEngine.
+THE TRAINING BREAKTHROUGH. No batches. No BPTT. One observation at a time,
+one gradient at a time. The model learns as it "sees" data, like a human.
+    for each token in the data stream:
+        1. Feed the token to the engine (tick).
+        2. The engine produces a prediction + confidence.
+        3. Compute the loss (was the prediction right?).
+        4. Backward + step IMMEDIATELY (online SGD, 1 sample at a time).
+        5. The thought state is carried forward (detached — no BPTT).
+WHY THIS IS FAST:
+    - Each step processes ONE token (not B×L).
+    - The forward is tiny (1 token, 1 tick).
+    - The backward is tiny (1 sample).
+    - No batching, no padding, no sequence masking.
+This is the training method that makes the Continuous Thought Engine
+trainable on ANY CPU, because the per-step cost is minimal.
