ViperEkura 1cf7d6c76b perf: fill steady-state decode input ids via d2d copy
- add InferenceWorkspace.fill_input_ids_from_device copying device tokens straight into the fixed-address input_ids buffer
- cache each decode step's sampled tokens on-device in DecodeSteadyState.last_tokens; when the task signature is unchanged the next step reuses them, replacing the tolist -> python list -> elementwise host fill -> pageable h2d round-trip
- _sample_logits returns (host payload, device tokens); prefill discards the device tensor
- signature change (task join/leave/first decode) still takes the host path; both dispatch paths covered by tests

Benchmark: NVIDIA L20, BF16, 1B model + 0.11B test model (4 layers, hidden 512), contiguous KV cache, CUDA Graph, greedy, prompt 512, generation 256, engine decode via scripts/tools/benchmark.py (alternating A/B, 2-4 paired runs)
- 0.11B batch 32: 21429 -> 24415 tok/s mean (1.14x, +13.9%), 4/4 paired runs faster
- 1B batch 32: 4242 -> 4388 tok/s (1.034x, +3.4%), 7.54 -> 7.29 ms/step
- batch 1: no measurable change (<0.5%)
