fix(build): add .dockerignore + safe probe — fix docker build failure

Build was failing, likely due to:
1. 165MB build context (no .dockerignore) — cccl_upstream/ 53MB, zip 97MB
2. probe_corex_api.py used importlib.import_module which may init CUDA
3. pip install without --timeout could hang on unreachable mirror

Fixes:
- .dockerignore: excludes cccl_upstream/, vllm/, *.zip, docs/ etc
  Build context: ~2MB instead of 165MB
- probe_corex_api.py: rewritten to use ONLY ast.parse, zero runtime imports
- pip install: added --timeout 30

+
+## 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()`
