+/**
+ * @file logits.hpp
+ * @brief Zero-copy logits access with clear lifetime semantics
+ *
+ * Provides safe wrapper around llama_get_logits_ith() with:
+ * - Null checking and error handling
+ * - Clear documentation of pointer lifetime
+ * - Consistent error messages
+ *
+ * LIFETIME CONTRACT:
+ * The returned pointer is valid ONLY until the next decode()/encode() call.
+ * Shells are responsible for implementing their own safety mechanisms
+ * (e.g., buffer detachment, reference tracking) to prevent use-after-invalidation.
+ *
+ * USAGE:
+ *   float* logits = lloyal::logits::get(ctx);
+ *   int n_vocab = lloyal::tokenizer::vocab_size(model);
+ *   // Use logits[0..n_vocab-1] synchronously
+ *   // DO NOT store across decode() calls
+ */

+ * Get raw logits pointer (zero-copy)
+ *
+ * Returns a pointer to the internal llama.cpp logits buffer.
+ * This is a zero-copy operation - no data is copied.
+ *
+ * @param ctx Llama context (must not be null)
+ * @param step Step index: -1 for last step (default), or specific step index
+ * @returns Pointer to float array of size vocab_size
+ * @throws std::runtime_error if ctx is null or logits unavailable
+ *
+ * IMPORTANT - Pointer Lifetime:
+ * - Valid only until next decode()/encode()/dispose() call
+ * - Points to llama.cpp internal memory (do NOT free)
+ * - Requires decode() was called with logits=true for the step
+ *
+ * EXAMPLE:
+ *   // After decode with logits=true
+ *   float* logits = lloyal::logits::get(ctx);
+ *   int n_vocab = lloyal::tokenizer::vocab_size(model);
+ *
+ *   // Compute entropy, sample, etc. - all synchronous
+ *   float max_logit = *std::max_element(logits, logits + n_vocab);
+ *
+ *   // After next decode(), logits pointer is INVALID
+ *   await ctx.decode(next_tokens);
+ *   // logits now points to different/stale data!
