feat(v7-m0.7,v7-m0.3): resumable training + capture_logits wiring

M0.7 (resumable training, ✅ green):
- stage_train auto-derives a sidecar opt-state file `<ckpt>.opt`
  when checkpoint_save_path is given without explicit
  opt_state_save_path; symmetric auto-resolve on load.
- Bundles AdamW m/v moments + rng_key into the implicit checkpoint
  so a single "checkpoint" path yields full resumable semantics.
- Flipped tests/v4/test_m07_resumable_roundtrip.py from xfail-strict
  to PASS — resumed loss continues the baseline curve within <0.1
  per step (was diverging Δ≈0.75).

M0.3 (capture_logits wiring, ✅ MLX side green):
- dry_forward(graph, ..., capture_logits=True, seed=N) now surfaces
  output_logits (shape tuple) + output_values (flat list) in result.
- stage_dry_forward plumbs both opts; downstream m03 harness writes
  bench/baselines/m03_mlx_logits.npy (shape [1, S, H]).
- Status flips from "mlx_unavailable" to "awaiting_cuda_ref";
  remaining external blocker is GB10 CUDA reference generation
  (bd cppmega-mlx-uwhj).
- New regression tests/v4/test_m03_capture_logits.py pins shape,
  finite-values, and same-seed determinism (4/4 green).

Side-effects: bench/baselines/m05_mlx_fastmtp.json refreshed
(MLX loss=5.7456, weight_delta_norm=0.4046, status=awaiting_cuda_ref).

M0.5 status: MLX-side fully captured; cross-platform parity check
remains gated on GB10 CUDA reference (external hardware blocker).
