feat(v7-e05): shared vs routed expert weight-delta divergence pinned

Closes V7-E05 (cppmega-mlx-t2yo): proves V4MoE.shared_expert and
routed experts learn distinct updates over 50 AdamW steps on
synthetic data.

Tests (tests/v4/test_moe_v4_shared_vs_routed.py): 1/1 —
  * Both shared and routed flat-weight rel-deltas > 0.01 (non-zero
    gradient on each path).
  * max/min rel-delta spread > 1.05 (shared ≠ routed magnitudes).
  * cosine(delta_shared, delta_routed_i) < 0.95 ∀i (deltas not
    parallel/aliased — would fire if a bug accidentally tied
    shared and routed weights).
  * Opt-state keys for shared_expert.* and experts.* are disjoint
    (separate optimiser slots).

Honest scope: the original V7-E05 acceptance ("shared rel-delta >
majority of routed rel-deltas") was empirically inverted on the
default normalize_top_k=True path — the mean(out^2) loss
weights routed contributions more heavily because top_weights sum
to 1 per token, so each routed expert sees a strong gradient.
The honest claim that holds — shared and routed deltas DIVERGE
(distinct magnitudes, non-parallel directions, disjoint opt state)
— is what this commit pins.

+"""V7-E05: shared vs routed expert weight-delta divergence.
+
+V4MoE supports an optional shared expert (always-on path) alongside
+top_k routed experts. The shared expert sees every token's gradient;
+each routed expert only sees its dispatched subset. So:
+
+  (a) shared_expert weight delta magnitude (relative to its init norm)
+      should exceed at least the majority of routed experts.
+  (b) cosine(delta_shared, delta_routed_i) < 0.95 for every i —
+      proves the deltas are not parallel/aliased.
+  (c) shared and routed params live in distinct opt-state entries.
