Unlock: Ring vs. Tree Attention

Exact attention distributed across many devices needs a way to combine local softmax normalizers into one global result. Ring Attention rotates full K/V shards through a sequential ring; Tree Attention reduces small partial states through a balanced binary tree. Both use the same exact real-arithmetic reduction, while their communication costs differ.
