"""Submanifold sparse 3D convolution in pure MLX.

This is the ONLY genuinely CUDA-locked operation in LATO.2's inference path. Upstream
routes it to `spconv.SubMConv3d` (or torchsparse); neither has a Metal build, which is
what has kept LATO.2 — and TRELLIS before it — off Apple Silicon.

Every SparseConv3d in the LATO.2 model code is constructed with the defaults
`stride=1, padding=None`, which upstream dispatches to SubMConv3d. So only the
submanifold case is needed, at kernel sizes 3 and 1.

Submanifold semantics: the output occupies EXACTLY the input coordinates (no dilation of
the occupied set). For each output voxel c:

    out[c] = bias + sum over kernel offsets d of  W[d] @ feats[c + d]   (c+d occupied)

Absent neighbours contribute nothing. Implemented by gathering into a feature matrix with
one appended zero row, so "missing" is index N and needs no masking in the hot loop.

Building the indice map is the expensive part and depends only on the coordinate set, so
it is cached on the SparseTensor under `indice_key` — the same trick spconv uses, and the
reason upstream threads `indice_key=f"res_{resolution}"` through the ResBlocks.
