Simulation, PeriodicBlockStepper and FixedPatchStepper levels each repeated
generate_config -> compile_kernel -> load_module -> cleanup and the
d_params pack/upload. They now call compiler.build_module(cfg, entry,
arch=..., n_objects=..., block_root_bc=...) and compiler.set_params.
Simulation no longer keeps its build directory alive until close (nothing
read it after loading). Removes the unused compile_kernel_v2 alias.
Host fakes and lifecycle tests follow the new seam; the close-retry case
for build-directory cleanup goes with the removed cleanup step.
No kernel, numerical or launch change.

Enqueue all n base intervals in order on the one stream and synchronize
once before returning (step(0): no launch, no wait). step_count, the raw
exchange ledger and an open window are published only after that wait;
any failure leaves step_count at its entry value and invalidates both
ledgers. Async device errors are no longer attributed to an interval;
the docstring says to use step(1) loops to localize one. Launch order and
buffers are unchanged. Adds a mocked-driver host test of the contract.
