feat(v4): wire StreamingPoolCache into CSAHCAHybridV4.decode_step

Two new methods on CSAHCAHybridV4:

  - make_streaming_caches(batch, dtype=fp32) → (csa_cache, hca_cache)
    Constructs two StreamingPoolCache instances sized to this module's
    (num_heads, head_dim) and the per-branch m_csa / m_hca block sizes.

  - decode_step(x_new, csa_cache, hca_cache, *, csa_select_indices=None,
                hca_select_indices=None) → out [B, T_new, hidden_size]
    Streaming-decode forward: appends x_new's K/V to both caches,
    snapshots the running compressed super-tokens, runs causal-in-super
    attention with each cache's evolving history, then gates + projects.

This eliminates the O(S_total) per-call mean-pool that the __call__
path does — decode now costs O(T_new + n_super) per token (n_super
grows as ⌈total_tokens / m⌉ but the running mean is incremental).

Tests (6 new):
  - make_streaming_caches returns two StreamingPoolCache instances
    sized per cfg.m_csa / cfg.m_hca.
  - decode_step validates input shape.
  - single-token output shape correct.
  - cache accumulates total_tokens and completed super-tokens across
    multiple decode_step calls (m_csa=2 → 4 supers, m_hca=4 → 2 supers
    after 8 tokens).
  - per-step outputs are shape-correct + finite + temporally distinct
    (proves the cache evolves, not stuck on the same KV view).
  - **correctness contract**: streaming cache snapshot K/V matches a
    full prefill _compress_kv recomputation bit-close (atol=1e-5).

v4 suite: 324 passed / 2 skipped.
