refactor(modules): Reorganize optimization tier structure (14-19)

Module renaming and reordering:
- 15_profiling → 14_profiling (now first in optimization tier)
- 14_kvcaching → 15_memoization (renamed to emphasize pattern)
- 17_quantization → 16_quantization
- 18_compression → 17_compression
- 16_acceleration → 18_acceleration (moved after compression)
- 19_benchmarking (unchanged)

All module metadata updated (numbers, prerequisites, connection maps)

+# Module 15 Profiling - Restructuring Summary
+
+## Goal
+Completely restructure Module 15 (Profiling) to match Module 12's clean, consolidated class structure.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. **Consolidated Profiler Class** (Lines 235-737)
+
+**Before**: Split structure with methods defined outside class + monkey-patching
+**After**: Single complete class with all methods inside
+
+#### All Methods Now Inside Profiler Class:
+- `__init__()` - Initialize profiler state
+- `count_parameters()` - Count model parameters
+- `count_flops()` - Count FLOPs for operations
+- `measure_memory()` - Track memory usage
+- `measure_latency()` - Measure inference latency
+- `profile_layer()` - Comprehensive layer profiling
+- `profile_forward_pass()` - Complete forward pass analysis
+- `profile_backward_pass()` - Training pass analysis
+
+**Educational Pattern Preserved**:
+- TODO/APPROACH/HINTS/EXAMPLE in every method
+- BEGIN SOLUTION / END SOLUTION blocks
+- Clear scaffolding for students
+
+### 2. **Removed Monkey-Patching**
+
+**Deleted these anti-patterns**:
+- Line 293: `Profiler.count_parameters = count_parameters`
+- Line 456: `Profiler.count_flops = count_flops`
+- Line 612: `Profiler.measure_memory = measure_memory`
+- Line 772: `Profiler.profile_layer = profile_layer`
+
+**Benefit**: Clean, predictable class structure. IDE-friendly autocomplete.
+
+### 3. **Removed Duplicate ProfilerComplete Class**
+
+**Deleted**: Lines 1523-1627 (ProfilerComplete duplicate)
+
+**Reason**: Redundant. Single Profiler class serves both learning and export purposes.
+
+### 4. **Added Module 14 Connection** (Lines 106-131)
+
+New section connecting profiling to KV caching optimization:
+
+```
+### 🔗 From Optimization to Discovery: Connecting Module 14
+
+**In Module 14**, you implemented KV caching and saw 10-15x speedup.
+**In Module 15**, you'll learn HOW to discover such optimization opportunities.
+
+**The Real ML Engineering Workflow**:
+Step 1: Measure (This Module!) → Step 2: Analyze → Step 3: Optimize (Module 14) → Step 4: Validate
+```
+
+**Educational Value**: Shows students the complete optimization discovery cycle.
+
+### 5. **Fixed Diagnostic Issues**
+
+All unused variable warnings resolved by prefixing with `_`:
+- Line 342: `_dummy_input` (unused but kept for interface consistency)
+- Line 359: `_batch_size` (unused in simplified FLOP calculation)
+- Line 424: `_baseline_memory` (unused but kept for completeness)
+- Line 449: `_current_memory` (unused, peak_memory used instead)
+
+**Result**: Zero warnings or errors from pylint.
+
+### 6. **Preserved Educational Content**
+
+**All retained**:
+- NBGrader metadata in every cell
+- TODO/APPROACH/HINTS/EXAMPLE scaffolding
+- BEGIN SOLUTION / END SOLUTION markers
+- Markdown explanations between functions
+- ASCII diagrams for visualization
+- Unit tests (`test_unit_X()`)
+- Integration test (`test_module()`)
+- Systems analysis functions
+- Module summary and reflection questions
+

+## Comparison with Module 12
+
+### Module 12 Pattern (Reference):
+```python
+class MultiHeadAttention:
+    def __init__(self, embed_dim, num_heads):
+        """TODO/APPROACH/HINTS/EXAMPLE"""
+        ### BEGIN SOLUTION
+        # Implementation
+        ### END SOLUTION
+
+    def forward(self, x, mask=None):
+        """TODO/APPROACH/HINTS/EXAMPLE"""
+        ### BEGIN SOLUTION
+        # Implementation
+        ### END SOLUTION
+
+    def parameters(self):
+        """TODO/APPROACH"""
+        ### BEGIN SOLUTION
+        # Implementation
+        ### END SOLUTION
+```
+
+### Module 15 Pattern (After Restructuring):
+```python
+class Profiler:
+    def __init__(self):
+        """TODO/APPROACH/HINTS/EXAMPLE"""
+        ### BEGIN SOLUTION
+        # Implementation
+        ### END SOLUTION
+
+    def count_parameters(self, model):
+        """TODO/APPROACH/HINTS/EXAMPLE"""
+        ### BEGIN SOLUTION
+        # Implementation
+        ### END SOLUTION
+
+    def count_flops(self, model, input_shape):
+        """TODO/APPROACH/HINTS/EXAMPLE"""
+        ### BEGIN SOLUTION
+        # Implementation
+        ### END SOLUTION
+
+    # ... 5 more methods following same pattern
+```
+
+**Perfect alignment!** Both modules now follow the same clean structure.
+
+## Validation Results

+3. **Debugger-Friendly**: Consistent class structure
+4. **No Confusion**: No mysterious monkey-patching
+
+### For Instructors:
+1. **Maintainable**: Easy to update methods
+2. **Consistent**: Matches Module 12 pattern
+3. **Professional**: Production-like code structure
+4. **Testable**: Clear unit testing flow
+
+### For Production:
+1. **Clean Architecture**: No runtime class modification
+2. **Type-Safe**: Static analysis tools work correctly
+3. **Documentation**: Methods show up in help/docstrings
+4. **Predictable**: No surprising behavior
+
+## Line Count Reduction
+
+**Before**: 1659 lines (with duplicate ProfilerComplete class and monkey-patching)
+**After**: 1609 lines (consolidated, no duplication)
+**Reduction**: 50 lines (~3% cleaner)
+
+## Key Achievements
+
+1. ✅ **Single Profiler Class** - All methods inside, no external definitions
+2. ✅ **No Monkey-Patching** - Clean, predictable class structure
+3. ✅ **No Duplicates** - Removed redundant ProfilerComplete class
+4. ✅ **Module 14 Connection** - Shows optimization discovery workflow
+5. ✅ **Zero Diagnostics** - No warnings or errors
+6. ✅ **All Tests Pass** - Full functionality preserved
+7. ✅ **Educational Content Preserved** - All scaffolding and explanations intact
+8. ✅ **Module 12 Compliant** - Perfect structural alignment
+
+## Migration Path for Other Modules
+
+This restructuring provides a template for cleaning up other modules:
+
+1. **Identify** methods defined outside classes
+2. **Move** them inside the class definition
+3. **Remove** monkey-patching assignments
+4. **Delete** duplicate/redundant classes
+5. **Add** module connections for context
+6. **Fix** diagnostic issues (unused variables)
+7. **Validate** all tests still pass
+8. **Verify** functionality unchanged
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Module 15 has been successfully restructured to match Module 12's gold standard:
+- **Single consolidated Profiler class** with all methods inside
+- **No monkey-patching** or runtime class modification
+- **No duplicates** or redundant code
+- **Clear module connections** showing optimization workflow
+- **Zero diagnostic issues** with clean, professional code
+- **All educational content preserved** for student learning
+
+The module is now production-ready, maintainable, and provides an excellent example of clean class-based design for educational purposes.
