Stack from ghstack (oldest at bottom):

Add et_vk.adamw_step — an on-GPU AdamW optimizer step (delegated in-place parameter update) for on-device training.

Key changes:

  • runtime/ops/adamw/ — elementwise AdamW-update WGSL kernel + handler
  • custom_ops_lib.pyadamw_step custom-op def (mutating, Tensor(a!))
  • op_registry.pyOpFeatures (string key et_vk::adamw_step)
  • CMakeLists.txt WEBGPU_SRCS — wire the source

Delegating the optimizer step to the GPU is new to ExecuTorch — its optimizers are host-side C++ (extension/training/optimizer/adamw.cpp). Training-only WebGPU custom op under the shared Vulkan partitioner; no Vulkan kernel yet.
