muh-bot 2a7ca101d7 feat(cccl): integrate missing CCCL directories — python/, ci/, .agent/, docs/, test/
Sparse-checkout from NVIDIA/cccl main branch to complete cccl_upstream:

Added:
- python/cuda_cccl/ (226 files) — Python bindings for device-level algorithms
  Critical for muh toolchain: cuda.compute.reduce_into, scan, radix_sort, etc.
  Includes 204 .py files with full test coverage for all 27 algorithms
- ci/ (163 files) — Build/test infrastructure
  build_cub.sh, test_cub.sh, build_and_test_targets.sh, matrix.yaml
  Directly maps to our [INFRA-CI] and [INFRA-BUILD] items
- .agent/skills/ (7 files) — NVIDIA's own agent skills for CCCL
  cccl-style/SKILL.md, cccl-test/SKILL.md, sass-diff/SKILL.md
- docs/ (491 files) — Official CCCL documentation
  CI references, CMake guides, Python compute docs, libcudacxx PTX docs
- test/ (12 files) — Top-level integration tests (cuda_smoke, stdpar)
- Root configs: .clang-format, .clang-tidy, CONTRIBUTING.md, pyproject.toml
- CLAUDE.md symlink → AGENTS.md (NVIDIA's standard)

cccl_upstream now mirrors full NVIDIA/cccl structure:
  Before: 42M (cub + thrust + libcudacxx + cudax + c + examples + benchmarks)
  After:  53M (+python +ci +docs +.agent +test +configs)

This completes the CCCL base needed for:
- [muh-bench] items: ci/util/build_and_test_targets.sh for targeted builds
- [CCCL-verify] items: python/cuda_cccl/tests/ as reference implementations
- [CCCL-test] items: ci/test_cub.sh, ci/test_thrust.sh
- Agent workflow: .agent/skills/ for consistent style and test patterns

How to commit fixes to release branches (backport process)
==========================================================
This guide explains when and how to commit fixes to release branches.
After a release branch is created and before a release tag is finalized,
maintainers may need to apply fixes to that release branch.
To keep ``main`` as the source of truth, each fix starts as a PR against
``main``, then automation opens an equivalent *backport* PR against the
relevant release branch.
Backport Criteria
-----------------
Before starting a backport, use the questions below to decide if a change is worth backporting:
- Does this fix a correctness bug (wrong result, UB, memory safety, data race, deadlock)?
- Does this fix a crash?
- Does this fix a regression?
- Are users actively asking for this fix to be backported?
- How likely are users to be affected by this? How many?
- Is there a reasonable workaround?
- How risky is this change?
Examples *not* worth backporting:
- Fixes to tests that do not impact the functionality of the library.
- Fixes to infrastructure that does not impact the functionality of the library.
Steps
-----
#. Create a PR with the fix against ``main`` via a PR following our :doc:`contributing guidelines </cccl/contributing>`.
#. Add the label ``backport branch/X.Y.x`` to the PR.
- If the PR is already merged, you can still trigger a backport by commenting
``/backport branch/X.Y.x`` on the merged PR.
#. After merge to ``main``, confirm automation opens a backport PR targeting
``branch/X.Y.x``.
#. Review the generated backport PR for correctness and resolve any conflicts.
#. Ensure all CI checks have passed and merge the backport PR into the target
release branch.
- Only members of the GitHub team `cccl-release-owners <https://github.com/orgs/NVIDIA/teams/cccl-release-owners>` can merge PRs to release branches.
