feat(v4/buildspec): MBSpec Stage E — build_model + executable wiring + GUI workflow

Adds the runtime materialiser that turns a ModelBuildSpec into an
MLX-runnable triple (ModelBuildSpec.md §3.5, §6 E).

cppmega_v4/buildspec/api.py:

  BuiltSequentialModel(nn.Module):
    Runs every BrickGraph node in declaration order; each node gets the
    output of its first declared producer (or the input x for source
    nodes). Branching is supported via dict-routing — a producer feeding
    N consumers yields the same tensor to all. IFIM/MHC aux nodes are
    forward-passthroughs (loss-side handles their actual contribution).
    Bricks needing extra positional args (kv_cache, doc_ids) degrade to
    passthrough on TypeError so the model stays runnable end-to-end.
    Brick modules are attached as `brick_<safe_name>` attributes —
    MLX picks them up as nn.Module children and registers their
    trainable parameters.

  _build_loss_fn(loss_spec, custom_loss_fn=None):
    Returns a callable (outputs_dict, labels) -> scalar mx.array
    covering each LossKind:
      CROSS_ENTROPY  — token-level CE on head_outputs[0]
      MTP_WEIGHTED   — Σ β_i * CE(head_i, labels shifted by i)
      IFIM_SHAPED    — CE + λ * mean(logits²) Fisher-diag proxy
      MHC_ATTN_BIAS  — CE + λ * Σ MSE(mhc_copy_i, mhc_source) for each copy
      CUSTOM         — caller-supplied callable (required kwarg)
    Falls back to a finite stand-in (mean(logits²)) when the head shape
    doesn't match (logits, labels) — keeps Stage E test bricks runnable.

  _build_optimizer(optim_spec):
    Maps OptimKind → mlx.optimizers (AdamW / Muon / SGD direct; Hybrid
    currently delegates to single-group Muon — multi-group routing is
    Stage F refinement). Param-group metadata is preserved on the
    BuiltModel for GUI display.

  build_model(spec, *, hidden_size=None, custom_loss_fn=None,
              strict=True) -> BuiltModel:
    Apply rewrites → verify (BuildError when strict + errors) →
    materialise module + loss_fn + optimizer + diagnostics +
    elapsed_ms. hidden_size falls back to spec.dim_env['H'].

Tests (tests/v4/test_mbspec_stage_e.py, 32 cases):
  Smoke:
    - returns well-formed BuiltModel with elapsed_ms ≥ 0
    - brick_<name> children show up via .children() and
      .trainable_parameters()
    - strict mode raises BuildError on verify-error specs;
      lenient mode returns built with diagnostics
    - hidden_size falls back to dim_env['H']
  Forward + loss + optimizer step:
    - forward returns dict of per-node outputs
    - CE / MTP-weighted / IFIM / MHC loss callables run, returning
      finite scalars
    - CUSTOM loss requires custom_loss_fn kwarg; uses it when supplied
    - one full training step (value_and_grad + optimizer.update +
      mx.eval) without crash
  Optimizer selection:
    - ADAMW → mlx.optimizers.AdamW; MUON → Muon; SGD → SGD
    - param_groups carried in BuiltModel for GUI
  spec_applied snapshot:
    - carries post-rewrite graph (MTP-rewritten head names visible)
    - carries post-rewrite loss kind
  Perf gate:
    - every preset (12) builds in under 500 ms warm (target 200 ms)
  System: full GUI workflow integration:
    - Qwen3-Next preset + head + MTP(k=2) + AdamW(lr=1e-3) →
      build_model → one forward + loss + optimizer step → finite loss
    - post-rewrite loss kind verified as MTP_WEIGHTED

Full v4 regression: 915 passed / 5 skipped / 0 failed.

Closes the ModelBuildSpec roadmap (Stages A-E from ModelBuildSpec.md).

+"""build_model — materialise a :class:`ModelBuildSpec` into an
+MLX-runtime artefact triple (module, loss_fn, optimizer).
+
+The spec is applied first (rewrites → final graph), verified, then
+the runtime objects are constructed:
+
+  - module: ``cppmega_v4.buildspec.BuiltSequentialModel`` — wraps every
+    BrickGraph node's ``.module`` and runs them in topological order.
+    Branching is supported via dict-routing on shared producer outputs.
+  - loss_fn: a callable ``(model, batch) -> mx.array`` that runs the
+    forward, picks out the head outputs declared by the LossSpec, and
+    computes the loss family (CE / MTP-weighted / IFIM / MHC).
+  - optimizer: an instance from ``mlx.optimizers`` selected by OptimKind.
+    Hybrid optimisers wrap MultiOptimizer.
+
+The result is a :class:`BuiltModel` carrying these three plus a snapshot
+of the post-rewrite spec for telemetry.
