This is only a smoke trajectory, not yet an ensemble result. It verifies that the logging pipeline can capture loss gaps, surrogate-gradient alignment, and weight-feedback alignment \(Q_l(t)\) from the same run.

+Important metric note: full-model gradient cosine can be inflated by the output layer, whose gradient is identical under BP and FA. Hidden-only gradient cosine is a sharper metric for feedback-induced mismatch.
