feat: modular sync architecture with accorr numba/torch optimizations

[Ramdam17]

Summary

• Modular sync architecture: Each connectivity metric (PLV, CCorr, ACCorr, Coh, ImCoh, PLI, wPLI, EnvCorr, PowCorr) is now a class inheriting from BaseMetric, in its own file under hypyp/sync/
• ACCorr optimizations: Integrates numba JIT and PyTorch GPU backends for Adjusted Circular Correlation, originally developed by @m2march as part of BrainHack Montreal 2026 (PR Optimization of accorr via pytorch #246)
• Unified optimization API: Single parameter (None, 'auto', 'numba', 'torch') flows through the entire chain: compute_sync() → get_metric() → ACCorr() → auto-detects GPU with graceful fallback and warnings

Optimization behavior

Value	Behavior	Fallback
None	Standard numpy (default)	—
'auto'	Best available: torch → numba → numpy	cascade with warnings
'numba'	Numba JIT compilation	warn + numpy if unavailable
'torch'	PyTorch with auto-detected GPU (MPS/CUDA)	warn + torch CPU if no GPU, warn + numpy if no torch

Usage

from hypyp.analyses import compute_sync
result = compute_sync(complex_signal, 'accorr', optimization='torch')

# Or directly
from hypyp.sync import ACCorr
metric = ACCorr(optimization='auto')

Optional dependencies

poetry install --with optim_torch    # PyTorch
poetry install --with optim_numba    # Numba

Test plan

• 172 tests pass, 0 failures
• ACCorr numpy vs reference implementation
• ACCorr numba vs reference implementation
• ACCorr torch (MPS) vs reference implementation
• Fallback warnings tested via mocking
• All 9 metrics work through compute_sync()
• Existing test suite (test_stats, test_fnirs, etc.) unaffected

Hi @m2march,

This PR integrates your accorr optimizations (numba/torch) from PR #246 into the new modular sync architecture. Your work is credited via co-authorship on the commit and in the accorr.py docstring.

Main changes from your original PR:

• Unified API: single optimization parameter instead of backend + device
• Graceful fallback with warnings when backends are unavailable
• Optional dependency groups in pyproject.toml (poetry install --with optim_torch)
• Reference-based tests validating all 3 backends against the original implementation

Could you review the changes before we merge?

I've got one comment and then some less relevant notes:

Comment

• In testsync.py:89, the test is supposed to test the call through compute_sync, but the function is never called.

Notes

• There is no config of the device. I like that it makes the optimization interface simpler, but I am afraid this will bite back if there are reasons to select CUDA vs MPS.
• Also, nowhere in the documentation it is stated that if MPS is available, it goes over CUDA. I'm not sure if they are exclusive.
• In analysis.py:compute_sync, the math for the different sync methods is removed. I see that it's in every subclass of BaseMetric. I fear that trying to find that (along with the reference papers) might be too obscure for non-programmers. It is annoying to have documentation too far from the implementation, but might be worth the duplicate for clarity. Alternatively, there would be a wiki entry or README in the sync folder that could be referred to in the docstring of compute_sync.
