guided: unify binary path onto multibool KV-fork core

Replace 3 parallel scoring paths (guided_rollout / _batch / _multibool)
with a single internal `_rollout_kv_fork` core: phase-1 batched think,
one cached prefix forward, N forked suffix forwards (one per scoring
slot). Binary case is just N_slots=1.

Drops from GuidedResult (no callers): answer_text, raw_full_text,
rep_ratio_think, prompt_nll. eval.py updated accordingly. _ngram_rep_ratio
and _scoring_text helpers removed -- their logic folded into the core.

Verbose=True now logs the full conversation (prefix + suffix the model
sees) plus a 64-token free-form generate continuation, so format issues
are obvious from one slot's log.

File shrinks from ~600 to ~340 lines. smoke_batch_parity passes (bf16
max Δp_true=0.098 within 0.20 tol; pre-existing batched-greedy drift).

+"""Guided rollout: think + per-slot JSON-bool scoring via KV-forked suffixes.

+One core function `_rollout_kv_fork` does all the work. Public entry points:

+- `guided_rollout_multibool`: 2 * N_foundations slots, aggregated per foundation.
+
+Phase 1: batched think generation (greedy until </think> or budget).
+Phase 2a: one batched forward over `chat + think + </think>`, store KV cache.
+Phase 2b: for each slot, build a per-row suffix `<close-turn> + user(nudge) +
+          assistant(prefill)` via apply_chat_template, deepcopy the cache, run
+          a short suffix forward, read logits at the prefill's last position.

+Cost: 1 prefix forward + N_slots small suffix forwards (each ≤14 tokens), all
+batched over B prompts. Requires a full-attention model -- asserts at entry.

+Why turn-boundary close+nudge: matches what a chat UI emits when a human
