Fix GTA-UAV eval + training pipeline: full gallery, mutex sampler, per-sample mask

Six critical fixes to the caption-test training/eval stack:

1. **IndentationError blocker** (train_gtauav.py:765-766)
   Unparseable file — train-recall LOGGER.info block was orphaned outside
   its `if eval_every` guard. Wrapped in `if train_recall:` so val eval
   and Grad-CAM only run on eval epochs.

2. **Full satellite gallery in `_evaluate`**
   Old code assembled gallery from DataLoader batches (one random sat per
   drone), producing an incomplete gallery of size ≈ N_query instead of
   N_unique_sat. Metrics were inflated because retrieval was against a
   subset that always contained the target.
   New `GTAUAVSatGallery` / `GTAUAVDroneQuery` iterate all unique tiles
   and queries independently; full-gallery multi-match R@K + MRR.

3. **Per-sample caption mask** (`AsymmetricEncoder._fuse_with_mask`)
   Mixed batches (some samples have captions, some don't) previously
   encoded empty strings through DGTRS and mixed the noise output into
   every sample via scalar gate. New `encode_query`/`encode_gallery` use
   `torch.where` to fall back to pure image features for empty-caption
   samples. Training `forward()` routes through the same helper so
   training and eval share code.

4. **Symmetric InfoNCE as primary loss** (multi_infonce.InfoNCELoss)
   Switched gin default from `WeightedInfoNCELoss` (adaptive label
   smoothing — not the Game4Loc soft-IoU target it claimed) to the
   existing symmetric InfoNCE with q2g=0.6/g2q=0.4 weighting. Loss type
   now selectable via `cfg.loss_type ∈ {"symmetric", "weighted"}`.

5. **MutuallyExclusiveSampler** (new file)
   BatchSampler that greedily packs drones whose `sat_candidates` sets
   are pairwise disjoint within a batch. Eliminates false negatives from
   the semi-positive graph without needing soft-label losses.
   At bs=8 keeps 100% of 24,891 train entries; at bs=64 keeps 92.6%.
   `set_epoch()` for reproducibility + different batches per epoch.

6. **Temperature clamp [0.01, 0.1]** (both loss modules)
   Old tau_max=0.5 allowed the logit distribution to collapse into a
   near-uniform softmax. Tightened to the CLIP-standard range.

Also:
- Added `scripts/smoke_eval.py` / `scripts/smoke_train.py` for fast
  regression checks (eval in ~2 min, 2 train steps in ~1 min on RTX 4090).
- CLAUDE.md updated to reflect the new pipeline.

+"""Batch sampler that prevents false negatives from GTA-UAV's semi-positive graph.

+model to push apart embeddings that should actually be close.
