Wired into the HF repo via `auto_map` in config.json so that
AutoModel.from_pretrained(repo, trust_remote_code=True)
SentenceTransformer(repo, trust_remote_code=True)
both return a model with the encoder-style patches already applied.
Supports `attn_implementation` in {"eager", "sdpa", "flash_attention_2"}:
eager/sdpa consume a 4D additive pad-only mask and reproduce the exact
training-time behavior; flash_attention_2 receives the 2D padding mask (or
None) and runs the kernel non-causally via `Lfm2Attention.is_causal = False`,
yielding outputs equivalent to the unpadded forward.
Repos may set `"disable_flash_attention": true` in config.json to reject
flash_attention_2 at load time (used for ColBERT, where PyLate query expansion
tokens — attention_mask=0 but scored in MaxSim — are incompatible with FA2
unpadding and severely degrade retrieval quality).
