Implement interactive ML Systems questions and standardize module structure

Major Educational Framework Enhancements:
• Deploy interactive NBGrader text response questions across ALL modules
• Replace passive question lists with active 150-300 word student responses
• Enable comprehensive ML Systems learning assessment and grading

TinyGPT Integration (Module 16):
• Complete TinyGPT implementation showing 70% component reuse from TinyTorch
• Demonstrates vision-to-language framework generalization principles
• Full transformer architecture with attention, tokenization, and generation
• Shakespeare demo showing autoregressive text generation capabilities

Module Structure Standardization:
• Fix section ordering across all modules: Tests → Questions → Summary
• Ensure Module Summary is always the final section for consistency
• Standardize comprehensive testing patterns before educational content

Interactive Question Implementation:
• 3 focused questions per module replacing 10-15 passive questions
• NBGrader integration with manual grading workflow for text responses
• Questions target ML Systems thinking: scaling, deployment, optimization
• Cumulative knowledge building across the 16-module progression

Technical Infrastructure:
• TPM agent for coordinated multi-agent development workflows
• Enhanced documentation with pedagogical design principles
• Updated book structure to include TinyGPT as capstone demonstration
• Comprehensive QA validation of all module structures

Framework Design Insights:
• Mathematical unity: Dense layers power both vision and language models
• Attention as key innovation for sequential relationship modeling
• Production-ready patterns: training loops, optimization, evaluation
• System-level thinking: memory, performance, scaling considerations

Educational Impact:
• Transform passive learning to active engagement through written responses
• Enable instructors to assess deep ML Systems understanding
• Provide clear progression from foundations to complete language models
• Demonstrate real-world framework design principles and trade-offs
