"""Tests for attn_implementation normalization and capability computation.
Covers the Phase 1 contract:
- `attn_implementation` accepts canonical names only; short-form aliases are rejected.
- Legacy boolean flags are mapped to the canonical value, warned on, and stripped.
- Canonical `attn_implementation` + legacy flag raises.
- Capability flags are computed from `attn_implementation`.
Plus Phase 2 gap fixes and full-model validation behaviour.
