🐛 fix: resolve CPU KV cache state leakage between requests

Root Cause:
- OffloadEngine.reset() cleared GPU buffers but NOT CPU cache
- Previous request's KV cache data persisted in CPU memory, contaminating subsequent requests

Fixes:
- Add k_cache_cpu.zero_() and v_cache_cpu.zero_() to OffloadEngine.reset()
- Add clear_decode_tracking(seq) call in HybridKVCacheManager.deallocate()

Results:
- niah_single_1 accuracy improved from ~80% to 94% (+14%)
- Remaining ~6% errors are model limitations, not state leakage

Also:
- Update docs/ruler_32k_chunked_offload_issue.md with fix details
- Remove debug planning files (findings.md, progress.md, task_plan.md)
