feat(v7-g03): cross-shard / cross-instance tokenizer determinism

Closes V7-G03 (cppmega-mlx-4ycr): three parametrised tests across
all four MATRIX.json tokenizer fixtures
(T1_cppmega_v3, T2_gpt2_small, T3_minimal_no_fim, T4_fim_only):

  * Same-instance: encoding the same text twice on one Tokenizer
    → bit-identical ids.
  * Independent loads: two Tokenizer instances from the SAME file
    (simulates parallel parquet workers) → bit-identical ids.
  * Artifact SHA emitted as a regression marker; any future drift
    in the tokenizer artifact shows up immediately in CI output.

Tests (tests/v4/test_tokenizer_cross_shard_stability.py): 12/12 —
  4 tokenizers × 3 spec functions.

Future work (not part of V7-G03 acceptance): write the SHA into the
parquet shard manifest emitted by
scripts/nanochat_data/clang_enriched_to_parquet.py so loaders can
fail-fast on artifact-vs-shard mismatch (corpus-pipeline side).

+"""V7-G03: cross-shard / cross-instance tokenizer determinism.
+
+The corpus-generation path (scripts/nanochat_data/clang_enriched_to_parquet.py)
+spins up workers that each load the tokenizer artifact. If the
+artifact were inadvertently mutated (BPE merge ordering, special
+token table) between shards, encoded ids would drift and any
+downstream training step would consume inconsistent inputs.
+
+Asserted here:
+  (a) Same Tokenizer instance encoding the same text twice → ids
+      bit-identical (sanity).
+  (b) TWO independently-loaded Tokenizer instances from the SAME
+      file → ids bit-identical (simulates two workers loading
+      the artifact in parallel).
+  (c) MATRIX.json tokenizer fixtures: hash the file bytes and
+      record it; any future change to the artifact rolls the hash
+      and surfaces a regression in CI.
