4. Cache successfully constructed operator instances.
5. Skip backends that already failed in the current process.

WS2 TP-aware logprob uses the stricter `KernelRegistry.get_logprob_op(contract)` path. In
addition to platform priority, this path requires a backend capability descriptor and checks
the requested role, dtype, TP/CP layout, padded-vs-real vocab masking, inactive-token
support, vocab-domain LSE export, and deterministic TP merge semantics. Incompatible
candidates produce explicit rejection reasons and are never used as an undeclared fallback.
The contract objects and their normative reduction semantics are documented in
`rl_engine.kernels.logprob_contract`.

Qualify the bitwise determinism guarantee.

VocabParallelLogprobOp provides the documented cross-TP bitwise result only when deterministic=True. The implementation permits deterministic=False without a reproducibility guarantee and rejects that mode for cross_tp_bitwise contracts. Update Line 61 and the usage example to state this condition.

Proposed documentation change 
-**TP=1, TP=2, and TP=4 produce bit-identical results.**
+With `deterministic=True` (the default), TP=1, TP=2, and TP=4 produce bit-identical results.
+With `deterministic=False`, reproducibility is not guaranteed and
+`cross_tp_bitwise` contracts are rejected.

+    local_logits,
+    target_ids,
+    contract=contract,
