Claude: ## Summary Clean, well-motivated fix. Excluding padded positions from per-sequence IS metrics is the right approach — the sentinel values ( IssuesNit

Summary
This PR fixes the
rollout_is_seqmetric computation for packed sequences.Previously, padded positions in packed sequences were included in the
rollout_is_seqstatistics. As a result, some metrics were dominated by padding artifacts:rollout_is/mismatch/rollout_is_seq_minstayed close to0.rollout_is/mismatch/rollout_is_seq_meanwas biased downward.rollout_is/mismatch/rollout_is_seq_max_deviationstayed close to1.This PR masks out padded positions so that these metrics are computed only over valid sequence tokens.
Validation
I compared TensorBoard metrics before and after the fix.
After the fix,
rollout_is_seq_minandrollout_is_seq_max_deviationare no longer affected by padded tokens.
