(ppo_epochs vs num_ppo_epochs) for trl 0.28.0 compatibility
- BUG-003: Add get_compute_dtype() - uses float32 on CPU, bfloat16/float16
on CUDA. Fixes dtype mismatch in reward model and all trainers
- BUG-004: Add warning when using quantization on CPU
- BUG-005: Fix dtype -> torch_dtype in diff.py model loading

- Friendly error messages: wrap all commands in try/except, map known errors
(CUDA OOM, missing deps, connection errors) to 2-3 line messages with fix hints
- Global --verbose flag for full tracebacks
- soup doctor: check system info, GPU, all dependency versions with fix suggestions
- soup quickstart: one-command demo (creates data + config + trains TinyLlama)
- Confirmation prompts before train/sweep (skip with --yes)
- 40 new tests (321 total), all passing
