Conditional-TC Reveal Scheduler

Replace confidence-only masked diffusion decoding with an adaptive scheduler that chooses batches whose unrevealed tokens have low conditional total correlation given the already revealed context. The scheduler should preserve large parallel batches when token predictions are conditionally independent, but split highly dependent tokens into separate rounds to reduce forward-KL error.
