JAX SYNCS XLA COMPILER STACK

JAX updated its XLA dependency to pull in the latest compiler improvements and optimizations.

Google's ML automation team pushed a single commit updating JAX's XLA revision [1], pinning the build to a new upstream commit. XLA is the backbone of JAX's JIT compilation and tensor operations, so compiler-level updates typically signal performance refinements or bug fixes flowing downstream. With just one commit across the period, this is a maintenance push rather than a feature drop. Watch your build times on next pull: XLA revisions sometimes shuffle performance characteristics. If you're running JAX in production, this is worth testing in staging before rolling forward, but it's not a blocker.
