Ethanfel 211494a91c fix: DITTO gradient never reached x0, remove unused imports and dead code
DITTO critical bug: x was reassigned on every ODE step, so by the time
loss.backward() ran, x pointed to the final output tensor (grad_fn, not
a leaf) and x.grad was always None. The manual gradient transfer never
fired — x0 was never updated. The optimization was a no-op.

Fix: use a straight-through estimator after the no-grad prefix:
  x = x + (x0 - x0.detach())
This adds zero value but creates a grad_fn back to x0, so backward()
propagates ∂loss/∂x (at the Phase-1/2 boundary) directly to x0.grad.
Equivalent to truncated BPTT with ∂x_prefix/∂x0 ≈ I.

Also remove unused imports (SelvaSampler, _inject_tokens, random) that
caused cascade ImportError risk, and remove dead trainable_count variable
in BigVGAN trainer.

Ethanfel 1e9551152e feat: add DITTO optimizer, upgrade BigVGAN trainer, document all nodes
BigVGAN trainer (selva_bigvgan_trainer.py):
- Add snake_alpha_only train mode: tunes only ~27K per-channel α params
  (0.024% of 112M) — physically cannot cause harmonic smearing
- Add lambda_l2sp: L2-SP anchor regularization toward pretrained weights
- Add optional discriminator_path: frozen MPD+MRD feature matching loss
  replaces mel L1 when a BigVGAN discriminator checkpoint is provided
- Inline MPD + MRD discriminator implementations (no extra dependencies)

DITTO optimizer (selva_ditto_optimizer.py):
- New node: inference-time noise optimization (arXiv:2401.12179)
- Optimizes x₀ via mel Gram matrix style loss against BJ reference clips
- All model weights frozen — zero quality degradation risk
- Truncated BPTT through last n_grad_steps of the ODE (configurable)
- Gradient checkpointing on each differentiated step

Docs:
- README: document all 20 nodes (was 3), add workflow diagrams
- STYLE_TRANSFER.md: new guide — DITTO, vocoder fine-tuning tiers,
  why LoRA/TI fail, combined approach, dataset prep
