Research direction

Use SGLang’s custom nn.Module implementations as the reference and investigate how equivalent semantics should work with DTensors. The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point, so first locate the existing custom nn.Module and DTensor handling in the repository. Done means custom nn.Modules have equivalent semantics when written with DTensors.
