feat(M5.4-M5.6): Add vLLM serving, training loop, and gate infrastructure

M5.4 — vLLM LoRA Serving Setup:
  - VllmConfig struct: base model, LoRA config, adapter modules
  - Container args generation for K8s deployment
  - Support for multiple adapter modules (memory-v1, memory-v2, etc.)
  - K8s InferenceService manifest (memory-isvc.yaml) with:
    • vLLM v0.11.0 container
    • LoRA flags (--enable-lora, --max-lora-rank 32)
    • Kong timeout annotations (120s read, 30s connect)
    • Startup probe (generous failureThreshold for model load + torch compile)
    • Readiness/liveness probes
    • Service account + PVC for adapter storage

M5.5 — verl Training Loop:
  - VerlTrainingConfig: hyperparameters for RL training
  - Trajectory-level + turn-level loss blending (α = 0.9)
  - Adaptive batch sizing based on corpus size
  - Configuration validation
  - verl-training-harness.py: full training script (Python)
    • Loads trajectory JSONL format
    • LoRA adapter configuration via peft
    • Policy gradient loss computation
    • Checkpoint saving per epoch

M5.6 — M5 Composition Gate:
  - Gate criteria: return-over-baseline >= 10%
  - Loss convergence verification
  - Format/reward distribution checks
  - Overfitting detection (validation vs training loss)
  - Checkpoint promotion on pass/rollback on fail
  - Full end-to-end signal verification

Tests:
  ✅ mem-llm/vllm.rs: 5/5 unit tests
  ✅ mem-core/training.rs: 8/8 unit tests
  ✅ tests/it_m5_training.rs: 15/15 tests
  ✅ tests/it_m5_gate.rs: 15/15 tests
  Total: 43 new tests, all passing

Status:
  ✅ vLLM infrastructure complete
  ✅ Training loop defined and testable
  ✅ Gate criteria specified
