+Tests verifying Eagle3 speculative decoding support for Qwen3Next-based models.
+
+Qwen3NextModel is the base model class for hybrid architectures like Qwen3.5
+that mix attention layers with Gated Delta Network (GDN) layers. Unlike
+Qwen2Model (used by Qwen2/Qwen3), Qwen3NextModel must also implement
+Eagle3 auxiliary hidden state capture in its forward() method.
+
+These tests verify:
+1. The SupportsEagle3 protocol is satisfied by all Qwen3Next-based CausalLM
+2. Qwen3NextModel.forward() actually captures auxiliary hidden states when
+   aux_hidden_state_layers is set (the bug: it didn't, despite the protocol
+   being declared on child classes)
+3. The captured states match the expected pattern (hidden_states + residual
+   before the specified layer executes)
