- extract shared helpers for dataset writers, scheduler construction, thread interleaving, hf roundtrips, and moe configs
- remove about 20 cases whose only assertions were format checks, restated declarations, fake-taxonomy duplicates, or test-local scaffolding
- strengthen weak cases into exact reference comparisons, positional mask checks, and deterministic outcomes
- replace two schedule factory smoke tests with cosine/sgdr formula assertions
- delete root-level CLI tests whose merge-priority facts are covered by tests/config/test_cli.py
- suite shrinks from 857 to 826 items; ruff format, import order, and pytest all green
- add skip_no_fp8 (CUDA + fp8_mm kernel + cc 8.9+) to tests/conftest.py
- use skip_no_cuda / skip_no_kernel / skip_no_fp8 directly in test modules
- drop _GPU alias and tests.extension.conftest re-exports
- remove unused imports (Union in hf_adapter, make_grpo_config in data conftest)
- implement Mano (v2) with axis-rotating tangent projection and manifold normalization, replacing Newton-Schulz iteration
- composite ManoAdamW reuses partition_optimizer_parameters and composite helpers
- register mano_adamw in OptimizerFactory, export Mano and ManoAdamW
- add --mano_momentum and --mano_nesterov CLI options in Optimizer group
- add mano_adamw hyperparameters branch in train.py
- document mano_adamw in params.md
- add tests for single-step projection, axis alternation, factory registration, closure, and resume
