feat(EX): corex_gdn + corex_moe — dlopen dispatch chain from comp 168 log analysis

From 2d5232c5 docker log analysis:
  07-23 (168's docker): corex_gdn.py + corex_moe.py → full fused kernels
  08-07 (our docker): missing both → NaN GDN + PyTorch MoE fallback

corex_gdn.py: GDN fused kernel dispatch
  - FlashQLA .so loading (gdn_forward.cu pre-compiled)
  - PyTorch chunked delta rule with fp32 accum + clamp (no NaN)
  - Decode single-step recurrent with state clamping

corex_moe.py: MoE fused pipeline
  - topk_softmax: replaces MISSING ixf_F.vllm_moe_topk_softmax
  - Per-expert GEMM via torch.matmul (cublas under the hood)
  - ixformer.silu_and_mul for activation when available

DLOPEN_DISPATCH_CHAIN.md: complete .so loading chain map
deploy_corex_modules.sh: wire into VLLM/model_executor/models/

# dlopen Dispatch Chain — BI-V100 Runtime .so Loading
## Source: comp 168 docker log (2d5232c5)
Two runs in `dockerrizhi.txt`:
- **07-23**: Competitor 168's Docker (working, full fused kernels)
- **08-07**: Our Docker (broken MoE, NaN in GDN)
## Competitor 168's Working AST Call Chain
```
HTTP Request → api_server.py → serving_chat.py
→ vLLM AsyncLLMEngine
→ model_runner.py:1074 (base image version, NOT our 1119)

│ → Falls to _torch_chunk_gated_delta_rule (our PyTorch)
│ → qwen3_5.py:445 "NaN in prefill GatedDeltaNet layer N"
│ → nan_to_num(0) → garbage output → quality collapse
└── MoE layers: ✗ fallback to pure PyTorch
→ No corex_moe.py found
→ Tries ixf_F.vllm_moe_topk_softmax → AttributeError (NOT IN ixformer!)
→ _custom_ops.py:58 "Error in calling custom op topk_softmax"
→ qwen3_5.py:913 "falling back to pure PyTorch experts permanently"
→ Python for-loop over 64 experts × 8 topk = ~50x slower
```

NOT available (must be built or bypassed):

ixf_F.vllm_moe_topk_softmax ← MoE routing (ABSENT from ixformer)
ixf_F.vllm_invoke_fused_moe_kernel ← MoE GEMM (present but crashes)
```
## What We Need to Build
### Module 1: corex_gdn.py
**Location**: `$VLLM/model_executor/models/corex_gdn.py`
**Purpose**: GDN fused kernel dispatch
**Dispatch**:
1. FlashQLA .so (gdn_forward.cu compiled on BI-V100) — needs inf fix
2. PyTorch chunked delta rule with fp32 accumulation + clamping
### Module 2: corex_moe.py
**Location**: `$VLLM/model_executor/models/corex_moe.py`
**Purpose**: MoE fused pipeline (routing + expert GEMM + activation)
**Dispatch**:
1. PyTorch topk_softmax (replaces missing ixf_F.vllm_moe_topk_softmax)
2. Per-expert torch.matmul (goes to cublas via libcublas.so)
3. ixformer.silu_and_mul for activation (confirmed working)
### Integration: patch_ops.sh additions
```bash
# Add to patch_ops.sh after line 10 (deploy corex modules):
cp /workspace/ex_engine/python/corex_gdn.py $VLLM/model_executor/models/
cp /workspace/ex_engine/python/corex_moe.py $VLLM/model_executor/models/
```
## ixformer.functions — Confirmed API
### WORKS (no errors in any log):
```
ixf_F.silu_and_mul(x, out)
ixf_F.gelu_and_mul(x, out)
ixf_F.gelu_tanh_and_mul(x, out)
ixf_F.rms_norm(input, weight, out, epsilon)
ixf_F.fused_add_rms_norm(input, residual, weight, epsilon)
ixf_F.vllm_single_query_cached_kv_attention(...) → paged_attn v1
ixf_F.vllm_rotary_embedding_neox(positions, query, key, ...)
ixf_F.vllm_batched_rotary_embedding(...)
ixf_F.vllm_cache_ops_reshape_and_cache(key, value, ...)
ixf_F.reshape_and_cache_flash(...)
ixf_F.paged_attention_cache_appended(...)
ixf_F.copy_blocks(key_caches, value_caches, block_mapping)
ixf_F.swap_blocks(src, dst, block_mapping)
ixf_F.advance_step_flashattn(...)
ixf_F.w8a8(a, b, scale_a, scale_b, bias, ...)
ixf_F.w8a16(x, qweight, scales, ...)
ixf_F.static_scaled_int8_quant(output, input, scale)
ixf_F.dynamic_scaled_int8_quant(output, input, input_scales)
ixf_F.vllm_gptq_shuffle(q_weight, q_perm)
ixf_F.quantized_linear(input, qweight, scales, ...)
ixf_F.quantized_weight_dequant(...)
```
### BROKEN/MISSING:
```
ixf_F.vllm_moe_topk_softmax → AttributeError (doesn't exist)
ixf_F.vllm_invoke_fused_moe_kernel → present but crashes (wrong BI-V100 config)
ixf_F.vllm_moe_align_block_size → present, untested
```
## Version Differences

Strategy: build a Python-level fused MoE pipeline that:
1. topk routing via PyTorch (softmax + topk, very fast at 64 experts × 8 topk)
2. expert GEMM via batched torch.matmul (cublas under the hood on BI-V100)
3. activation via ixformer.silu_and_mul if available, else torch
CCCL pattern: dispatch_transform_tile → per-expert tile, then reduce_by_key → scatter-add.

the expert GEMM which takes ~1ms, so PyTorch implementation is fine.
