The log is the source of truth. Nothing in this module estimates a step that did not happen, and
every number carries its **unit** and **where it came from**, because a metric without provenance is
a rumour. It reads three things TRL/transformers emit and one thing mindXtrain does:
1. step dicts β ``{'loss': .., 'grad_norm': .., 'learning_rate': .., 'entropy': ..,
'num_tokens': .., 'mean_token_accuracy': .., 'epoch': ..}``
2. eval dicts β ``{'eval_loss': .., 'eval_runtime': .., 'eval_entropy': .., 'eval_num_tokens': ..,
'eval_mean_token_accuracy': ..}``
3. the closing dict β ``{'train_runtime': .., 'train_loss': .., 'train_samples_per_second': ..}``
4. tqdm β ``24%|βββ | 28/116 [14:55<46:01, 31.38s/it]`` (progress, ETA, seconds per step)
and it raises the warnings that actually cost runs: packing without a flash-attention backend,
a throttle that is not being honoured, a loss that stopped moving, an eval that has drifted above
train (memorising), and gradient norms that are collapsing or exploding.
