Implements SMC-CFG (Sliding Mode Control CFG) from the paper:
"CFG-Ctrl: A Control-Theoretic Perspective on Classifier-Free Guidance" (CVPR 2026)
https://github.com/hanyang-21/CFG-Ctrl
Replaces standard linear CFG with a nonlinear sliding mode controller
that prevents instability, overshooting, and artifacts at high guidance scales.
