"""Teacher cache β€” universal caching of teacher/model reference outputs.

Used by QAT, clustered quantization, and any teacher-student workflow.
All scripts import from this module β€” no duplication of cache logic.

Cache format (directory-based, streaming to disk during capture):
    {dataset_dir}/teacher_cache-{teacher_name}/{source_name}/
        __meta__.pt     β€” {"model_input": {...}, "model_output": {...}, "layer_names": [...]}
        blocks.0.norm1.pt β€” {"input": tensor_or_tuple, "output": tensor_or_tuple}
        blocks.0.attn.q_proj.pt
        ...

Streaming: during capture_with_hooks, each hook writes its layer's I/O to a
temporary directory IMMEDIATELY (torch.save + del tensor), so RAM/VRAM never
accumulates more than one layer's data at a time. After forward completes, the
temp directory is renamed to the final cache path.

Model-level I/O stored in __meta__.pt (small tensors β€” model input + output).
Per-layer I/O stored in individual {layer_name}.pt files.

Validation: cache is valid if:
  1. Directory exists with __meta__.pt
  2. cache_mtime >= source_mtime (not stale)
  3. All required layer names have corresponding .pt files

Capture granularity is configurable via CaptureConfig:
  - mode="final": only model input + model output (minimal disk)
  - mode="all": every selected module (all leaves, or recursive by depth)
  - mode="named": explicit module names
  - mode="types": modules matching isinstance(types)
  - depth: None=unlimited, 0=root, N=N levels deep
  - leaves_only: True=only terminal modules (no children)
