""" Muon Optimizer

Improved Muon optimizer implementation with flexible handling of high-dimensional tensors.

Combines PyTorch-style structure with options for:
- Batched spatial processing for convolutions in addition to flatten
- Optional spatial normalization
- Selectable coefficient presets
- Automatic fallback to AdamW for 1D / scalar parameters (biases, norms, etc.) and optional fallback via param groups

Based on implementation by Keller Jordan, see
