Gradient Norm Logger for W&B
============================
A Keras callback that logs per-layer gradient norms to Weights & Biases
at the end of each epoch. This provides direct visibility into gradient
flow across shared convolutions, per-task BatchNorm layers, per-task
classification heads, and sigmoid gates.
Logged metrics (all under the "gradients/" prefix in W&B):
- gradients/total_norm : Global L2 norm of all gradients
- gradients/shared_conv_norm : L2 norm of shared conv layer gradients
- gradients/layer/{name}_norm : Per-layer L2 gradient norm
- gradients/task/{byte_i}_norm : Per-task aggregate gradient norm
- gradients/max_layer_norm : Maximum gradient norm across all layers
- gradients/min_layer_norm : Minimum gradient norm across all layers
- gradients/norm_ratio : max/min ratio (gradient imbalance indicator)
Usage:
The callback is automatically added when ``wandb_project`` is set in
the MTLTrainer. It uses a single batch from the validation set to
compute gradients via ``tf.GradientTape``, keeping the overhead minimal.
Note on Keras 3 / TF 2.16+:
In Keras 3, ``variable.name`` returns only the weight name (e.g.
``kernel``, ``gamma``) without a layer prefix. To obtain the full
layer-qualified name we iterate over ``model.layers`` and build an
``id(variable) → layer.name`` mapping at the start of training.

Logs per-layer and per-task gradient norms to W&B at each epoch end.
The callback computes gradients using a single validation batch to
