"""Phase C: fine-tune the nemotron_h MTP head on dumped triples.

Trains the BF16 `mtp.*` head from the merged3 checkpoint against the trunk's
own conditionals (see dump_triples.py): for each completion position t the head
sees (hidden[t], token[t+1]) and must predict token[t+2], with the trunk's
top-64 logprobs at t+1 as a soft KL target.  Loss = CE + lambda * KL.

Faithful to serving (mtp_probe recipe + MTPModule.__call__):
  - fuse enorm(embed(t+1)) || hnorm(hidden[t]) -> eh_proj
  - + attention block (causal over the completion region -- the serving chain's
    committed KV is exactly the prior completion positions; NoPE, no rope)
  - + MoE block, final_layernorm, shared lm_head

Phase 1 trainables (~120M): eh_proj, enorm/hnorm/norms, attention, gate.weight,
latent projections, shared experts.  Frozen: 512 routed experts (switch_mlp),
gate.e_score_correction_bias (selection-only, gradient-free), embed, lm_head.
Trainables are trained as fp32 masters and written back bf16.

Usage:
  python3 train_mtp_head.py --eval-only            # pipeline check: ~52% top-1
  python3 train_mtp_head.py [--epochs 2] [--batch-positions 4096]
                            [--lr 1e-4] [--kl-lambda 1.0] [--limit-shards N]

Output: mtp_trained.safetensors (disk-named mtp.* tensors, splice-ready) +
training log lines on stdout.
