ColorSharedNetwork previously sliced the input vector into n_colors equal
chunks (input_dim // n_colors). The slice boundaries do not align with the
actual encoding layout: adjacent slices contain phase flags, hand slots,
expedition state, scores, etc. mixed together. The "color-shared" encoder
was therefore sharing weights across semantically unrelated chunks, not
across per-color blocks. The single archived run that exercised this path
(2026-05-07_092137_color_shared_attention_1000iter) was killed at iter 41
and produced no eval data, so we have no measurement of whether a real
per-color architecture would help.
Adds compute_lost_cities_color_layout(input_dim) which returns explicit
per-color and common index lists for the standard Lost Cities encoding
(n_colors=5, hand_size=8, n_ranks=9). It recognises input_dim values
171, 219, 249, 297 across derived_playability and slot_aware_playability
flag combinations.
Per-color block (39 dims when derived_playability is on): both players'
expedition state for that color, discard top, public-histogram row,
pending-discard one-hot bit, legal-action draw-pile bit, and the
derived_playability per-color block. Slot-aware features are slot-major
and stay in common.
ColorSharedNetwork.forward now indexes per-color blocks via the layout
when input_dim matches a known schema. For other dims (unit tests,
non-Lost Cities use), it falls back to chunked slicing with a UserWarning
- preserves backward compatibility for tests but makes the legacy
behaviour visible.
No fair test of the new architecture was run as part of this commit.

- Add network.kind field to config (mlp/color_shared)
- Implement ColorSharedNetwork that:
- Splits input into 5 equal color blocks
- Encodes each block with shared weights
- Pools with mean/max aggregation
- Concatenates pooled embeddings with remainder
- Outputs same action logits as MLP
- Add ColorAttention for optional self-attention over color embeddings
- Add network.color_attention_layers and color_attention_heads config
- Maintain full backward compatibility (default kind=mlp)
- Add 28 comprehensive tests covering all architectures
