Fix: np.float128 platform crash & missing f-string in error message

Closes #657
Closes #658


What this PR does

This PR fixes two backend bugs found during local development on macOS Apple Silicon (ARM64).


Fix 1 : Guard np.float128 for platform compatibility (Closes #657)

File: gemma/gm/utils/_dtype_params.py (via kauldron dependency)

np.float128 is not available on macOS Apple Silicon or Windows — it only
exists on Linux x86-64 as a long double alias. Because kauldron/ktyping/dtypes.py
unconditionally accesses np.float128 at module import time, every test
that transitively imports from kauldron.ktyping fails immediately during
pytest collection with:

AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'float128'. Did you mean: 'float16'?

This caused 162 test collection errors on Apple Silicon in the CI-equivalent
local run. The fix guards the attribute access with hasattr:

# Before:
float128 = NpDType(np.float128)

# After:
float128 = NpDType(np.float128) if hasattr(np, 'float128') else NpDType(np.float64)

Note: The root cause is in the kauldron dependency. This fix is being
upstreamed there. On the gemma side, the CI should be pinned to a kauldron
version that includes the fix once merged.


Fix 2 : Add missing f-prefix in _normalize_token() error message (Closes #658)

File: gemma/gm/text/_sampler.py, line 579

The error raised when a multi-token stop_token or forbidden_token string is
supplied was silently printing {token!r} as a literal string rather than
interpolating the actual bad value, because the f prefix was missing.

# Before (plain string - unhelpful):
raise ValueError(
    'Invalid token: {token!r}. `stop_token`s and `forbidden_token`s must'
    ' map to single token ids in the vocab.'
)

# After (f-string - shows the actual token):
raise ValueError(
    f'Invalid token: {token!r}. `stop_token`s and `forbidden_token`s must'
    ' map to single token ids in the vocab.'
)

Testing

  • Existing tests pass locally (after the kauldron fix is applied).
  • The _normalize_token error path manually verified to produce the correct interpolated message.

No new tests are added — Fix 1 is a dependency-level change and Fix 2 is a
one-character typo correction.

I signed it!

The error message was a plain string, causing {token!r} to be printed
literally instead of interpolating the actual token value. This makes
debugging stop_tokens / forbidden_tokens misconfigurations impossible.

Note: The recent force-push on this branch was just an empty amend to re-trigger the Google CLA bot checks after signing the agreement, as the webhook seemed to be stuck. The code changes remain exactly the same!

While testing locally, I noticed the ValueError raised by _normalize_token was literally printing {token} instead of the actual token variable. This PR simply adds the missing f prefix to correctly interpolate the token string!

Let me know if you need me to make any changes.
Thank You.
