feat: support DPA4 and DPA4C deployment

[SchrodingersCattt]

Summary

• add the DeePMD-kit PyTorch Exportable backend (pytorch-exportable / pt-expt) for training
• support DPA4 and DPA4C .pt2 deployment models in LAMMPS exploration
• freeze and optionally compress checkpoints once before exploration tasks fan out
• keep TensorFlow as the default and preserve the existing .pb / .pth workflows

Configuration

DPA4 uses impl: pytorch with model_format: pt2. DPA4C uses impl: pytorch-exportable, model_devi_backend: pytorch-exportable, and model_format: pt2; dp_compress: true enables its optional compressed deployment model.

Tests

• DPA4 PyTorch checkpoint to .pt2
• DPA4C PyTorch Exportable freeze and compression
• .pt2 LAMMPS model-list replacement
• PyTorch Exportable training command

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added support for PyTorch Exportable (pytorch-exportable/pt-expt) training and deployment.

  • Added optional model compression for compatible PyTorch Exportable models.
  • Added automatic model preparation, freezing, and format conversion before exploration tasks.
  • Added configuration options for model backends, formats, and compression.

• Documentation

  • Documented DPA4 and DPA4C configuration, training backends, deployment formats, and compression options.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds the pytorch-exportable training backend, supports .pth and .pt2 LMP models, adds optional model compression, inserts model preparation into the LMP workflow, and documents DPA4 and DPA4C configurations.

Changes

PyTorch LMP model support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
PyTorch exportable training support dpgen2/op/run_dp_train.py, tests/op/test_run_dp_train.py	The training operation accepts pytorch-exportable and pt-expt, uses --pt-expt, detects checkpoints, and retains .pt checkpoints without TensorFlow freezing. Tests cover the new command.
Prepared model generation dpgen2/constants.py, dpgen2/op/run_lmp.py, dpgen2/op/__init__.py, tests/op/test_run_lmp.py, docs/input.md	LMP configuration accepts backend, format, and compression settings. PrepareDPModels freezes .pt models to .pth or .pt2, optionally compresses them, and preserves supported prepared models. Model matching, exports, tests, and DPA4/DPA4C examples are updated.
Preparation step integration dpgen2/superop/prep_run_lmp.py	The workflow adds prepare-models before run-lmp and passes its model artifact to LMP execution.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 454d1

The deployment workflow currently passes model and configuration values through a shell, allowing specially crafted values to execute unintended commands, and can mislabel training output as freeze output for one backend. These are current-head correctness and security risks, so the PR is not merge-ready until addressed.

In `@dpgen2/op/run_dp_train.py`:
- Line 328: Update the logic around the impl branch so PyTorch and
PyTorch-exportable executions do not write training out and err values as freeze
output; move the freeze log writes into the TensorFlow branch or otherwise skip
the freeze section for both PyTorch backends, while preserving actual freeze
logging for TensorFlow.

In `@dpgen2/op/run_lmp.py`:
- Around line 499-510: Update freeze_model and compress_model to construct
commands as argument lists rather than interpolating input_model, frozen_model,
head, or other model values into shell strings; invoke run_command without
shell=True while preserving the existing backend flags and options.
