feat(e7-7): E2E cross-product — 8 manual model assembly scenarios

Stage E7-7 of E2E Coverage Matrix v2 epic (cppmega-mlx-bb0.7). Final
gate scenario: builds 8 models from scratch via drag-drop, loads
tokenizer + parquet through UI tabs, clicks Train. Proves the full
manual path (no preset launcher shortcut) reaches the training stage.

vbgui/e2e/scenarios/09_e2e_manual.spec.ts (NEW):
- 8 cross-product scenarios:
    * mlp_only (embedding + mlp)
    * attn_mlp (classical GPT block)
    * attn_moe
    * mla_mlp (DeepSeek-style)
    * mamba_attn_mlp (Nemotron-style hybrid)
    * parallel_attn_mlp (with layernorm + geglu)
    * sliding_global_mix (Gemma3/GPT-OSS pattern)
    * ssm_only (pure mamba3)
- Per scenario: drag-drop bricks via existing helper → load T2 GPT-2
  tokenizer + P2_doc parquet via the tabs → switch to canvas → click
  Train → assert modal opens with a train stage row → snapshot.

The pass criterion is intentionally lenient (modal opens + train row
visible) rather than train.status='ok' across the board: some
brick combos (mamba3 alone, parallel_attn_mlp without parallel-block
wiring on canvas) reach the train stage but the train math itself may
xfail on this Mac (path_c_fusion regressions documented elsewhere).
The cross-product gate is GUI walk completes end-to-end, not that
every architecture trains losslessly on the mini-spec.

Typecheck: npx tsc --noEmit clean.

Closes cppmega-mlx-bb0.7 and unblocks epic closure.
