Research direction

Start with scripts/run-qwen3.5-35B-A3B.sh and trace argument parsing through slime/utils/arguments.py, slime/backends/megatron_utils/arguments.py, and _hf_validate_args. Reproduce the command and inspect how the Hugging Face and Megatron configuration values are read. Done means the Qwen3.5 initialization no longer raises this validation assertion.
