Fix init state: add logit_bias so A≈1 at init (dense connectivity)

- Add learnable logit_bias=15.0 to PredictorMLP, so σ(15/τ_init) ≈ 0.95
  at init, reproducing dense connectivity instead of random A≈0.25
- Fix dtype mismatch: cast A to model dtype (bfloat16) in DAGFormerOLMo.forward
- Fix YAML lr parsing: add type coercion in TrainConfig.from_yaml
- Fix device mismatch: call self.to(device) in StructurePredictor.__init__
- Add python -u for unbuffered SLURM output, TOKENIZERS_PARALLELISM=false
- Delete stale eval_cache.pt (built with buggy MLP input code)
