arch(CoreX): CCCL env_dispatch — try native fused kernels, fallback PyTorch

Three CoreX accelerators from base image (Sub168 had all three):
  1. corex_gdn — GatedDeltaNet fused prefill/decode
  2. corex_moe — MoE fused prefill/decode (expert-grouped-wmma)
  3. corex_fa2 — Flash Attention 2 (handled by xformers patches)

qwen3_5.py now 1477 lines (was 1369):
  - GatedDeltaNet.forward() → try CoreXGDN.forward() → except → PyTorch
  - Qwen3_5MoeSparseBlock.forward() → try corex_moe.moe_forward() → except → PyTorch
  - Module-level probe: import corex_gdn/corex_moe with graceful fallback

patch_ops.sh: always deploy our qwen3_5.py (it handles both scenarios)

If corex modules exist in base image → 10x speedup (Sub168 evidence)
If corex modules missing → same behavior as before (pure PyTorch)

Also added ENGINE_CODEPATH_TIMELINE.md — the full runtime diff
between Sub168 (score 60194) and our Sub508 (score 0).

## 4. CoreX Dispatch Gap — The 52-Line Difference
Sub168's qwen3_5.py has ~1421 lines. Ours has 1369.
The missing ~52 lines are CoreX dispatch wrappers:
```python
# WHAT SUB168 HAS (reconstructed from log evidence):
# In GatedDeltaNet.__init__:
try:
from vllm.model_executor.models.corex_gdn import CoreXGDN
self._corex_gdn = CoreXGDN(...) # loads libcorex_gdn.so
except ImportError:
self._corex_gdn = None
# In GatedDeltaNet.forward() prefill path:
if self._corex_gdn is not None:
result = self._corex_gdn.prefill(...) # → corex_gdn.py:228
else:
result = self._pytorch_prefill(...) # our current pure PyTorch
# In Qwen3_5MoE.forward():
try:
from vllm.model_executor.models.corex_moe import corex_moe_forward
result = corex_moe_forward(...) # → corex_moe.py:339
except:
result = self._pytorch_moe_forward(...) # our current loop
```
## 5. Environment Variables (already set in YAML)
```yaml
VLLM_COREX_GDN_LIBRARY: /usr/local/corex/lib64/libcorex_gdn.so
VLLM_COREX_MOE_LIBRARY: /usr/local/corex/lib64/libcorex_moe.so
VLLM_COREX_FA2_LIBRARY: /usr/local/corex/lib64/libcorex_fa2.so
```
These .so files exist in the base image. The Python wrappers
(`corex_gdn.py`, `corex_moe.py`, `corex_fa2.py`) also exist in
the base image at:
`/usr/local/corex/lib/python3/dist-packages/vllm/model_executor/models/`
**Our qwen3_5.py simply never imports them.**
## 6. What Needs To Happen
Add try/except CoreX dispatch in 3 places in qwen3_5.py:
1. `GatedDeltaNet.forward()` — prefill + decode paths
2. `Qwen3_5MoE.forward()` — prefill + decode MoE dispatch
3. Attention — already handled by xformers patches (corex_fa2 is separate)
CCCL pattern: `dispatch_with_env` — try native kernel first, fallback on error.
Our Python equivalent: `try: corex_forward() except: pytorch_forward()`
