"""Equivalence proof: block-level activation checkpointing (opt 6). block_ckpt=True wraps each block's PURE core in torch.utils.checkpoint. Danger zone: tick_chunk_core READS the carry (attn_S/attn_z) then OVERWRITES it. A naive whole-block checkpoint would make backward's recompute read the NEW carry — wrong gradients. The refactor keeps the read-mutate cycle outside the checkpointed region; these tests prove loss, gradients AND the carry evolution across consecutive chunks are identical with and without.
