param.data = clone() only replaces storage — the nn.Parameter object itself
retains the inference tensor flag set when the model was loaded. Replace each
parameter with a fresh nn.Parameter(data.clone()) created inside
inference_mode(False) so both the object and its data are normal tensors.
Move optimizer creation to after re-creation so it references the new objects.
