arch(critical): deploy ALL customized files to container — qwen3_5.py was NEVER running

ROOT CAUSE FOUND: patch_ops.sh only deployed serving-layer files
(tool_parser, reasoning, protocol, serving_chat) but NEVER deployed:

  - qwen3_5.py (1712 lines of NaN-safe DeltaNet + CCCL patterns)
  - _custom_ops.py (MoE kernel fallback for BI-V100)
  - model_runner.py (has_inner_state for DeltaNet MambaCacheManager)
  - sampler.py, sequence.py, scheduler.py, arg_utils.py
  - xformers.py, paged_attn.py, prefix_prefill.py
  - logits_processor.py, mamba_cache.py

The container was running the BASE IMAGE's original qwen3_5.py which has:
  - NO NaN clamping (g.clamp, cumsum.clamp, state.clamp)
  - NO overflow_cast protection (CCCL pattern)
  - NO forward substitution fallback (cuSOLVER unavailable on BI-V100)
  - NO batched GEMM MoE decode (3 launches vs 16)
  - NO sorted-segment MoE prefill (CCCL histogram pattern)
  - NO GDN prefix-cache state save/restore

This explains why Docker logs showed 99.98% NaN in EVERY DeltaNet layer
despite our qwen3_5.py having comprehensive numerical guards.

Also fixes:
  - serving_chat.py: n>1 returns 400 instead of clamping (prevents OOM cascade)
  - serving_chat.py: improved d07 content fallback (multi-layer extraction)
