//! Muon optimizer — Nesterov momentum with Newton-Schulz orthogonalization.
//!
//! Implements the Muon algorithm (Jordan et al., arXiv:2409.20325, 2024):
//! weight-matrix updates are orthogonalized via a quintic Newton-Schulz
//! iteration before being applied, yielding near-unit spectral norm updates
//! and significantly outperforming AdamW on language modelling benchmarks.
//!
//! # Algorithm
//!
//! For each parameter matrix W of shape \[m × n\]:
//!
//! 1. **Nesterov momentum**: `m_t = β·m_{t-1} + g_t`; `ĝ = g_t + β·m_t`
//! 2. **Newton-Schulz orthogonalization** (5 iterations, quintic polynomial,
//! only for 2-D matrices): maps `ĝ` to a near-orthogonal matrix with
//! spectral norm ≈ 1.
//! 3. **Parameter update**: `W ← (1 λ·lr)·W lr·O`
//!
//! 1-D parameters (bias vectors, embedding rows) fall back to plain SGD
//! without orthogonalization.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use rtx_transformers::optimizers::muon::{MuonConfig, MuonOptimizer};
//!
//! let mut opt = MuonOptimizer::new(MuonConfig::default());
//! opt.register("W", 4, 4);
//!
//! let params: Vec<f32> = vec![1.0; 16];
//! let grad: Vec<f32> = vec![0.1; 16];
//! let updated = opt.step("W", &params, &grad);
//! assert_eq!(updated.len(), 16);
//! ```
