chore: continue GPU architecture cleanup work (#497)

* feat: Complete US-GPU-015 AdaMax optimizer GPU vectorization (27/52)

Vectorize the UpdateParameters method in AdaMax optimizer:
- Replace for loop with vectorized operations using IEngine
- Vectorize first moment update: m = beta1 * m + (1 - beta1) * gradient
- Vectorize infinity norm update: u = max(beta2 * u, |gradient|)
- Vectorize parameter update: params = params - (alpha * m) / u

AdaMax uses the infinity norm for adaptive learning rates,
making it more robust than Adam for certain gradient patterns.

Progress: 27/52 optimizers vectorized (52%)

* feat: Add IEngine parameter to Normal optimizer for consistency (28/36)

Add IEngine parameter to NormalOptimizer constructor for API consistency:
- Normal optimizer is a random search algorithm without vectorizable operations
- Added IEngine parameter to maintain consistent API across all optimizers
- No actual vectorization needed as algorithm only generates/evaluates random solutions

Note: Normal optimizer uses pure random search, no gradient or vector operations.

Progress: 28/36 optimizers support IEngine (78%)

* feat: Add IEngine parameter to GeneticAlgorithm optimizer for API consistency (29/36)

Add IEngine parameter to GeneticAlgorithmOptimizer constructor:
- Meta-heuristic optimizers work with discrete operations (selection, crossover, mutation)
- No traditional vector operations to vectorize for GPU
- Added IEngine parameter to maintain consistent API across all optimizers

Note: Genetic algorithms operate on populations of discrete solutions,
not continuous parameter vectors suitable for GPU vectorization.

Progress: 29/36 optimizers support IEngine (81%)

operations are primarily scalar with element-wise random perturbations.

Progress: 32/36 optimizers support IEngine (89%)

* feat: Add IEngine parameter to TabuSearch optimizer for API consistency (33/36)

Add IEngine parameter to TabuSearchOptimizer constructor:
- Discrete neighborhood search with tabu list management
- Operations are primarily list/hash comparisons, limited vectorization

Note: Tabu search uses hash-based solution tracking,
operations are primarily discrete with minimal vector arithmetic.

Progress: 33/36 optimizers support IEngine (92%)

* feat: Implement US-GPU-015 DifferentialEvolution optimizer GPU vectorization (34/36)

Vectorize Differential Evolution algorithm for GPU acceleration:
- Add IEngine parameter to constructor for CPU/GPU strategy pattern

- Fully vectorized vector arithmetic for mutation operation

DE uses difference vectors for mutation, making it highly suitable
for GPU acceleration of the core mutation computation.

Progress: 34/36 optimizers support IEngine (94%)

* feat: Add IEngine parameter to final 4 optimizers for API consistency (36/36)

Add IEngine parameter to Bayesian, CMAES, NelderMead, and Powell optimizers:
- Bayesian: Gaussian process-based optimization (primarily model-based)
- CMAES: Covariance matrix adaptation (complex statistical updates)
- NelderMead: Simplex-based derivative-free optimization
- Powell: Direction-set method for derivative-free optimization

These optimizers use advanced statistical/geometric methods with limited
direct vector arithmetic suitable for GPU vectorization.

Progress: 36/36 optimizers support IEngine (100% COMPLETE!)

* feat: Add proper GPU vectorization to CMAES, NelderMead, and Powell optimizers

Vectorize derivative-free optimizers for GPU acceleration:

CMAES:
- Vectorize population generation: individual = mean + sigma * sample
- Each sampled individual fully vectorized

NelderMead:
- Vectorize centroid calculation: centroid = sum(simplex) / n
- Vectorize simplex operations: a + factor * (a - b) pattern detection
- Auto-detects common Nelder-Mead operation patterns for vectorization

Powell:
- Vectorize directional move: newCoefficients = parameters + step * direction
- Vectorize extrapolation: extrapolated = 2*new - old

These derivative-free methods now benefit from GPU acceleration
for vector arithmetic operations.

* feat: Add IEngine parameter to DenseLayer for GPU acceleration

Add IEngine parameter to both DenseLayer constructors:
- Enables future GPU vectorization of layer operations

* refactor(tests): remove unnecessary GC.Collect() calls from GpuStressTests

Remove 7 instances of explicit GC.Collect() and GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers() calls from GPU stress tests. These manual garbage collection calls are unnecessary and can interfere with accurate memory leak detection and performance testing.

The .NET garbage collector should handle memory management automatically, and forcing collections can:
- Mask real memory leaks
- Introduce performance measurement artifacts
- Interfere with the GC's optimized collection strategy

Tests affected:
- MatrixMultiply_LongRun_10KIterations_NoMemoryLeak
- Conv2D_LongRun_1KIterations_StablePerformance
- Pooling_HighFrequency_1KIterations_NoLeaks
- ConvolutionalLayer_LongRun_1KForwardPasses_Stable
- FullCNNPipeline_100Iterations_NoMemoryLeaks
- MemoryPool_VariableSizeAllocations_ReuseBuffers
- MemoryPool_RapidAllocDealloc_1KCycles_Stable

Remove 22 instances of explicit GC.Collect() and GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers() calls from GPU memory leak detection tests. Manual garbage collection interferes with accurate memory leak detection.

Changes:
- MatrixOperations_5KIterations_LinearGrowthCheck: Removed pre-test and periodic GC calls (5 removed)
- TensorOperations_5KIterations_PlateauCheck: Removed pre-test and periodic GC calls (5 removed)
- OptimizerVectorUpdates_5KIterations_NoLeak: Removed periodic GC calls (2 removed)

- GpuEngine_MultipleCreateDispose_NoResourceLeak: Removed periodic and post-test GC calls (5 removed)
- Tensor_CreateUseDiscard_5KCycles_NoLeak: Removed periodic GC calls (2 removed)

Rationale:
Memory leak tests should measure natural GC behavior, not forced collections. Manual GC.Collect() calls:
- Mask real memory leak patterns by artificially clearing memory
- Introduce timing artifacts that affect leak detection algorithms
- Don't reflect production GC behavior
- Interfere with correlation analysis between iterations and memory growth

Tests still use GC.GetTotalMemory(forceFullCollection: true) for initial/final memory baselines, which is appropriate for establishing accurate measurement points.

Replace implicit filtering (foreach with if) with explicit LINQ Where() filtering to improve code clarity and follow best practices.

Changes:
1. GetBucketSize() method:

Pattern transformation:
```csharp
// BEFORE (implicit filtering):
foreach (var item in collection)
{

    {
        // process item
    }
}

// AFTER (explicit filtering):
foreach (var item in collection.Where(x => condition))

* fix(tests): replace generic catch clause with specific exception types in GpuStressTests

Replaced 'catch (Exception ex) when (ex is not null)' at line 136 with specific
exception filters for GPU operations: InvalidOperationException, ArgumentException,
OutOfMemoryException, DllNotFoundException, PlatformNotSupportedException.

This makes the exception handling production-ready and follows established patterns
in the codebase.

Resolves CodeRabbit review comments about generic catch clauses.

* fix(optimizer): call InitializeAdaptiveParameters in AdamOptimizer.Deserialize

After deserializing _options and adaptive state buffers (_m, _v, _t), we now call
InitializeAdaptiveParameters() to refresh runtime adaptive fields (_currentLearningRate,
_currentBeta1, _currentBeta2) from the deserialized options.

Without this call, runtime fields would contain stale values, causing ReverseUpdate and
subsequent updates to use incorrect learning rate and momentum parameters.

This follows the established pattern used in other optimizers like Lion and DifferentialEvolution.

Resolves src/Optimizers/AdamOptimizer.cs:421

* fix(optimizer): correct FTRL L1 proximal numerator for negative z values

The L1 proximal operator was computing sign(z) * (lambda1 - z), which is only correct
for positive z values. For negative z, this produces incorrect coefficients and skews
training.

Changed to use the absolute value: sign(z) * (lambda1 - |z|), which correctly implements
the standard FTRL L1 proximal operator for both positive and negative z values.

This fix uses the already-computed absZ vector, maintaining the vectorized path while
restoring correct FTRL behavior.

Resolves src/Optimizers/FTRLOptimizer.cs:171

* fix(optimizer): guard against zero-length previousGradient in LBFGS

On the first iteration, previousGradient is Vector<T>.Empty() (length 0), which causes
a length mismatch error when subtracting from the current gradient.

Added a guard to check if previousGradient.Length == 0 and return early, skipping the
memory update for the first iteration. This prevents L-BFGS from breaking immediately
on the first iteration.

Resolves src/Optimizers/LBFGSOptimizer.cs:213

* fix(optimizer): align NelderMead centroid calculation with model parameters

Changed CalculateCentroid to base vector dimensions and averaging on actual model
parameters and simplex size, rather than input dimension 'n'.

Previous implementation could fail with length mismatch if model parameter count
differed from input size. Now:
- Initialize centroidCoefficients with templateParams.Length (from model)
- Loop over simplex.Count - 1 iterations (excluding worst point)
- Divide by pointCount (simplex.Count - 1) for correct Nelder-Mead semantics

This makes the implementation robust and self-consistent with model parameters.

Resolves src/Optimizers/NelderMeadOptimizer.cs:254

* fix(optimizer): validate NelderMead pattern across full vector to prevent misdetection

Pattern detection was only testing index 0, causing incorrect vectorization when
parametersA[0] == parametersB[0]. In degenerate cases, Expand/Contract/Shrink operations
(pattern: a + factor * (b - a)) were misdetected as Reflect (pattern: a + factor * (a - b)),
flipping the sign for all other indices and breaking Nelder-Mead step vectors.

Now validates pattern across entire vector before using vectorized path, ensuring custom
operations and b-a variants always follow element-wise path.

Resolves src/Optimizers/NelderMeadOptimizer.cs:387

* fix(tests): remove double GpuEngine construction and redundant cast in GpuRecoveryTests

Changed catch block to skip test instead of reconstructing GpuEngine (which would throw again).
Removed redundant Vector<float> cast since engine.Add already returns Vector<float>.

This ensures tests actually exercise GPU code paths as intended.

Resolves CodeRabbit comment about GPU engine not being used in layer tests.

* fix(tests): improve memory leak test reliability

1. GpuEngine_MultipleCreateDispose now properly disposes engines in finally block
2. Fixed tautological catch pattern (replaced 'or not null' with specific exceptions)
3. Added [Trait("Category", "Stress")] to class for test filtering
4. Added documentation warning about process-wide GC metrics affecting results
