### Launch-time SwiGLU parameters (SM120)

`SwiGLU(alpha, beta, limit)` with any non-default value runs the
`swiglu_param` sources, which read the parameters as FP32 scalar kernel
inputs, so one kernel serves every model:

```text
g = min(gate, limit); u = clamp(up, -limit, limit)
out = g * sigmoid(alpha * g) * (u + beta) * scale
```

This is FlashInfer's SwiGLU contract (`tests/moe/utils.py`): e.g.
DeepSeek-V4/V4.1-Flash, its DSpark draft head and GLM-5.3-Flash use
`SwiGLU(limit=10)`; gpt-oss and MiniMax-M3 use
`SwiGLU(alpha=1.702, beta=1, limit=7)`. The default `SwiGLU()` keeps its
`swiglu` sources. `swiglu_param` is packaged for SM120 in every dtype, with
the same tiles, orientations and output variants as `swiglu`; on SM107 the
runner declines it with `NotImplementedError` instead of dropping the
parameters. Its launch tail places `swiglu_limit`, `swiglu_alpha`,
`swiglu_lower` and `swiglu_beta` (Frost's first-use order) before `scale`;
the native executors write `alpha, beta, limit, -limit` to scalar slots during
routing, so CUDA Graph replays keep them. `activations.py` maps an activation
to its source name (`activation_name`) and its launch values
(`launch_scalars`).

The native executor carries the generated argument order, including SiTU's scalar
inputs, for both normal and swap-AB layouts. Activation-specific source hashes

Reject SwiGLU scalars outside the FP32 range before launch.

SwiGLU accepts finite alpha, beta, and limit values larger than the FP32 maximum. launch_scalars returns these values as Python floats. The narrowing occurs later. make_runner takes them as double and converts them with float(...) in csrc/moe_bf16.cu and csrc/moe_nvfp4.cu. The NVFP4, MXFP8, and MXFP8×MXFP4 runtimes also pass them to torch.full(..., dtype=torch.float32). An out-of-range value can become infinity. For a gate of exactly zero, multiplying by an infinite alpha or beta then yields NaN.

Add the magnitude check in activation_scalars. Each Frost MoE path reaches this function through launch_scalars. A check in SwiGLU.__post_init__ would also change admission for the other backends that consume SwiGLU.
